WATERTON, Sir Robert (c.1409-75), of Methley, Yorks.

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on
Family and Education
b. c.1409, s. and h. of Robert Waterton (d.1425) of Methley by his 2nd w. Cecily, da. of Sir Thomas Fleming of Wath upon Dearne, Yorks. W.K. Martin, Hist. of Wath-upon-Dearne, 27-28; CPL, vi. 145. He is often said to have been Waterton’s son by his 1st w. Joan, da. and coh. of Sir William Everingham (d.1369) of Skinningrove and wid. of Sir William Elys† (d.1391) of Everingham, Yorks. She was, however, dead by April 1401, and our MP was not born until some years later: CP25(1)/290/59/27; CIPM, xxii. 391. It may be objected here that, in the inqs. post mortem taken on the death of our MP’s father, the five manors of the Everingham inheritance are said to have been in the deceased’s hands ‘by courtesy’, in other words, he had had issue by Joan. In fact, his title to these manors rested on a fine levied in 1401, the levying of which would have been superfluous had he had title by the courtesy. m. by Sept. 1434, Beatrice (d. 11 Mar. 1481), da. of John, Lord Clifford (d.1422), by Elizabeth, da. of Sir Henry Percy (d.1403); 1s. illegit.
