Tempest and Hudleston

Legg inn av Gjest » 16 jun 2006 22:41:27

Various sources assign to Sir John Hudleston of Millom (died c1396) a
second wife, Katherine Tempest, said to be the daughter of Sir Richard
Tempest of Bowling, Yorkshire (e.g. Cumberland Families and Heraldry,
Hudleston & Boumphrey, p 333 sub Tempest; Nicholson & Burns, vol ii).

The only alleged primary reference to Katherine that I have seen is to
a Feet of Fine from 1388, but I have not yet tracked this down.

There is a problem with this identification, however, in that Bowling
appears not to have come into the Tempest family until the end of the
15th century (the earliest reference I have seen is to the will of Sir
Richard Temple of Bowling dated 1535 - it appears to have been he who
married the Bolling (sic) heiress in 1497 and thus acquired Bowling,
according to the website for the Bolling Hall Museum.

Before their removal to Bowling, the Tempests had been seated at
Bracewell and Waddington, Yorkshire.

HoP 1386-1422 Vol IV details the career of Sir Richard Tempest
(c1356-1427/8) of Bracewell, who is said to be "probably the son and
heir of Sir John Tempest (ff 1349) of Bracewell and Waddington by
Margaret, daughter of Sir Robert Holand."

Roskell et al warn that there has been much conflation between this Sir
Richard and his apparently older namesake, Sir Richard Temple of
Studley, Yorkshire "who died at some point before 1390 leaving a widow,
Isabel, and a son William, MP", the latter being a member of a junior
branch of the Tempests. According to HoP, Surtees' Durham (vol ii p
329) details this division of the Tempest family during the early 14th
century, although it is said that the author has also confused the two
Sir Richards.

Chronologically, given that her son Richard Hudleston was born about
1380, Katherine Tempest cannot have been Sir Richard's daughter.
Burke's Family Records shows a Sir John Tempest of Bracewell as born 24
August 1283 and having livery in 1304 [presumably a Proof of Age exists
and is the source for this]; he is stated to have been Lord of
Bracewell, Stock and Waddington, to have been Knight of the Shire for
Yorkshire in 1324, and to have died in 1359. He appears too old to
have been Sir Richard's father, and indeed Burke's Landed Gentry
(Tempest) states that he was his great grandfather, the intervening
generations being Sir John the younger and an elder Sir Richard (at
variance with HoP). Burke assigns to the elder Sir John a daughter of
Robert Holand as wife, and to the younger Sir John, Katherine, daughter
of Sir Robert Sherburn, but I am suspicious of this as Katherine
Sherburn appears to have been the granddaughter of Margaret Holand by
her first marriage to Sir John de Blackburn, which would have made her
closely consanginous to her husband Sir John Tempest if he were the son
of a Holand. There are also chronological difficulties with the line
as presented in Burke's

Katherine Tempest and Sir John Hudleston's son and heir, Sir Richard
Hudleston likewise married a woman of Holand descent - the daughter of
Sir Nicholas Harington, whose grandmother Katherine Banastre was
Margaret Holand's daughter by her second marriage. If Katherine
Tempest was the daughter of Sir John the younger of Bracewell then Sir
Richard Hudleston and his Harington wife would also have been within
the prohibited degrees - third cousins; I have seen to dispensation for
this marriage. This would lead me to believe that Katherine came not
from the Bracewell branch of the Tempests, but possibly from those of
Studley.

For what it is worth, Burke's says that Sir Richard Tempest of Studley
was dead by October 1379 and by his second wife Isabel (d 1421),
daughter of Sir Thomas Bourne of Studley, fathered two sons, John (dsp
by 1390) and Sir William Tempest; Sir Richard is said to be the younger
brother of Sir John of Bracewell the younger. It is interesting to
note that Katherine Hudleston's two sons were named Richard and
William.

Hudleston and Boumphrey assign to Katherine: argent, a bend between six
martlets sable, "as displayed on a shield at Hutton John".
