I can now provide additional details of the parentage of Katherine,
wife of Thomas and mother of Sir John Manningham.
Her father was John Asplion, "of St Gregory, City of London", who - 'of
sound mind and good memory' made his will on the feast day of Pope St
Gregory, 6 Henry IV.
In this will, proved PCC in March 1415 [PROB 11/2B] he bequeaths £10
to his daughter Margaret, and also names Agnes, the daughter of his son
William Asplion [I presume these are children by an earlier marriage
than that to Katherine Brown]. His wife Katherine is his executrix and
residuary beneficiary for life, and then his daughter Katherine.
Wrestlingworth in Bedfordshire is also specifically mentioned.
Thus we can confirm that Katherine Manningham was the daughter of John
Asplion and Katherine Brown.

Re: John Asplion +1415
Michael,
Good catch, finding John Asplion's Will. I googled "Asplion" with only six
results, one of them being your message, and nothing new on the others. PRO
A2A search gave no results.
I've had another search of my "Brown(e)" data base, but nothing definite on
this Katherine Brown. I have a couple of references to Wrestlingworth (again
both from the Patent Rolls) which may or may not be connected:
1374. Jan. 24. Westminster
Pardon, at the supplication of the king's esquire, John de Beverle, to John
Broun of Wrastlyngworthe of the king's suit for the death of Thomas de
Baughton, alias Thomas de Rafton, whereof he is indicted or appealed, and of any
consequent outlawry. By p.s.
Prof. Bob Boynton; University of Iowa; Calendar of Patent Rolls; Ed 3 Vol 15
page 385
1384. Jan. 13. Westminster
Exemption, for life, of John Broun of Wrastlyngworth, from being put on
assizes, juries or recognisances, and from being made mayor, sheriff, escheator,
coroner, or other minister of the king, against his will. By p.s.
Prof. Bob Boynton; University of Iowa; Calendar of Patent Rolls; Rd 2 Vol 2
page 369
Perhaps the above offices (mayor etc) were jobs to be avoided?
Regards,
Adrian

Excellent additions on the Broun front - your database is amazing!
Given the Wrestlingworth connection, there can be little doubt but that
the references from the Patent Rolls are to Katherine Asplion's father.
Interestingly, while a PROCAT source on Apslion doesn't bring up
anything new, there is one reference which may be to John Asplion's
son: "William Aspilion"; this is only dated 1386 to 1486 online though.
Cheers

Re: John Asplion +1415
Hudleston and Boumphrey refer to 'John Asplion' as being a
Buckinghamshire man; this is referenced to a 19th century secondary
source (Denton).
It seems the original reference is from Nicholson and Burn's History
and Antiquities of the Counties of Westmorland and Cumberland, p 199
sub Gamelby:
"From [Adam de Crokedake] it descended to the family of the Raughtons
and Boyvills, Lord of Westlinton. Raughton's part descended to a
daughter named Catherine, wife of John Aspilon, a Buckinghamshire man,
who sold the same to the Warcops".
[Roskell et al sub Manningham state that in fact "a year or two [after
the death of Katherin Aspilon nee Brown, Thomas Manningham] and his
wife settled the Cumerland manors of Langholm and Gamelby, together
with their widespread appurtenances in the north-west, upon a
distinguished body of trustees, including Robert Warcop, MP".]
I could find no reference to any Aspilons in Lipscomb's Bucks, but the
VCH Buckinghamshire, Vol IV, sub Lillingstone Lovell, p 195, refers to
the Manor of Lillingstone (one of the minor manors in that village) as
being held by Thomas de Lillingstone alias Aspelon until his death in
1361, when he was succeeded by his two sisters' heirs.
In his will of 6 Henry IV, John Aspilon refers to 'the tenement called
'Passelewes' which I have in Kynges Walden in the County of Hertford"
so perhaps further reference to him may be found in connection with
that property.
