Subject: Re: Sir Fulk CORBET, King's knight, d. 6 Ric II
I was interested to see that "Stirnet" (_www.stirnet.com_
(http://www.stirnet.com) ), in a part of the database indexed as
'Corbet01' , gives the
following line of descent from Sir Fulk Corbet, stating that it is
derived from
Burke's Peerage for 1934, but without citing any relevant primary
sources:-
Sir Fulk Corbet of Wattlesborough m. Elizabeth
Daughter Katherine Elizabeth, bpt 07.05.1375, d.c1403
m John de la Pole of Mawddwy, d. 03.11.1403
Her children are given as
1. Fulk de la Pole of Mawddwy (dsp), and
2. Elizabeth de la Pole of Mawddwy, m. Sir Hugh Burgh of Wattlesborough
and
Dinas Mawddwy, by whom she had a son Sir John Burgh of Wattlesborough
and
Dinas Mawddy
This Sir John is shown as marrying Jane Clopton, daughter of Sir William
Clopton of Radbroke, and as having by her four daughters:-
A) Isabella, m. John Lingeyn [usually spelt 'Lingen'-MM]
B) Elizabeth, m. William Newport
C) Ankeret, m. John Leighton of Streeton [Stretton- MM], later of
Wattlesborough (d.1493)
D) Eleonora, m. Thomas Mitton [usually spelt 'Mytton'- MM]
As a descendant of John Leighton, and also of Sir Fulk Corbet's elder
brother Roger, I thought to see whether the above descent could be
verified from
primary sources. The sources I have found so far have been the Calendar
of
Patent Rolls ('CPR'), the sources identified in the Victoria County
History of
Shropshire sv Stirchley, VCH Worcestershire sv More Hall (for the
Clopton-
Burgh marriage -CIPM 11 Edw IV 61 and the 1569 Visitation of Worcs),
Shropshire
Archives More 1037, and the Calendar of IPMs

king's knight to the latter: CPR
