Sir John Peche's companions

Legg inn av David MacDougall » 12 aug 2004 02:10:39

In reading the lengthy article by Canon Scott Robertson entitled
"Peche of Lullingstone", Sir John Peche (b. about 1473) participated
in the Royal Jousts at Westminster 9th, 11th and 13th Nov. 1494. On
the first day he did very well for himself, winning a ruby-set gold
ring presented by Princess Margaret, daughter of King Henry VII. It
is stated that Sir John was conducted afterwards by Lady Ann Percy and
the Lady Ann Nevill (sic).

On November 13th, Sir John's horse was led forth by "Mistress
St.Leger, a daughter of the Duchess of Exeter. The other lady
conductors were the Duke of Buckingham's sister Elizabeth, the Earl of
Northumberland's sister Ann, and the Earl of Westmorland's daughter
Ann."

I bravely attempted to try and determine who these various ladies
were, in terms of parentage and spouse (if applicable), but soon
became hopelessly lost in the maze that seemed to present itself
(starting with the Duchess of Exeter and her St. Leger daughter).

I would greatly appreciate if someone would be kind enough to figure
out who the above noted people might be (or not).

The Earl of Westmorland's daughter Ann (= the Lady Ann Nevill) must be Anne,
daughter of Ralph Neville, Earl of Westmorland (succeeded 1484, died
1498/9). She married as his second wife William Conyers, Lord Conyers (d.
1524), and was later the wife of Anthony Saltmarsh of Hornby.
[Complete Peerage vol. 3, p. 404; vol. 12, part 2, pp. 551, 552]

The Earl of Northumberland's sister Ann (= Lady Ann Percy) must be Anne,
daughter of Henry Percy, Earl of Northumberland (died 1489) and sister of
Henry Algernon Percy, Earl of Northumberland (died 1527). She married as his
second wife William Fitz Alan, Earl of Arundel (d. 1543/4).
[Complete Peerage vol. 1, p. 250; vol. 9, pp. 717-720]

The Duke of Buckingham's sister Elizabeth must be Elizabeth, daughter of
Henry Stafford, Duke of Buckingham (died 1483) by his wife Katharine
Wydville (Edward IV's sister-in-law), and sister of Edward Stafford, Duke of
Buckingham (died 1521). She married Robert Radcliffe, later Earl of Sussex
(d. 1542).
