HULL, Henry (d.1490), of Larkbeare, Devon and Ashill, Som.

s. of John Hull* by his 1st w. m. (1) by 19 Dec. 1444, CPR, 1441-6, p. 316. Alice (d.c.1487), CFR, xxii. no. 115. While the writ issued to the escheator of Somerset and Dorset calls the deceased Alice, that to the escheator of Devon refers to her as Elizabeth. da. of John Beauchamp (d.v.p.), gda. and h. of Sir Thomas Beauchamp*, and wid. of John Speke of Haywood, Devon; The Commons 1386-1421, ii. 157; Som. Feet of Fines (Som. Rec. Soc. xxii), 198-9, 207. (2) Christine, da. of Sir William Paulet (d.1488) by Elizabeth, da. of John Denbaud of Hinton St. George, Som.; CIPM Hen. VII, i. 410-11. wid. of Nicholas Chichester (d. bef. 1488) of Raleigh, Devon, 1da. Vis. Som. (Harl. Soc. xi), 60; VCH Som. iv. 43; B. and A.P. Burke, Peerage and Baronetage (1930), i. 534. The identification of this 2nd wife presents some problems. J.S. Vivian, Vis. Devon, 492 erroneously calls her the da. of Sir Nicholas Paulet of Sampford Peverell. On chronological grounds, Chichester, who was dead by 1488, rather than Hull (as suggested by Burke), must have been her 1st husband: CIPM Hen VII, i. 270. Dist. Som. 1465.
