C.P. Addition: Estate of Sir Richard Beauchamp, Lord Saint A

Legg inn av Douglas Richardson » 23 nov 2005 16:08:10

Dear Newsgroup ~

Complete Peerage, 11 (1949): 303, footnotes e and f indicate that Sir
Richard Beauchamp (died 1508), 6th Lord Saint Amand, left an
illegitimate son, Anthony Saint Amand, by a mistress, Marty Wroughton.
Under the terms of Sir Richard Beauchamp's will, he devised the bulk of
his estates, failing heirs of his body, to his illegitimate son,
Anthony Saint Amand.

Not surprising, on Sir Richard Beauchamp's death, Chancery suits were
filed by several of his legitimate heirs, they being representatives of
the Brooke, Griffin, Osbaldeston, and Reade families (see abstracts of
these lawsuits further below). Curiously, none of these lawsuits are
mentioned by Complete Peerage.

Regardless, it appears that at least two manors of Sir Richard
Beauchamp ended up in the hands of his illegitimate son, Anthony Saint
Amand, namely Ramerick, Hertfordshire and Blunham, Bedfordshire, as
indicated by the grant below found in the helpful online A2A Catalogue
(http://www.a2a.org.uk/search/index.asp).
