MUSGRAVE, Sir Richard (d.1464), of Hartley, Westmld.

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on
Family and Education
s. and h. of Sir Thomas Musgrave† (d.1409) of Hartley by his ?2nd w. Alice (d. by 1436); It is certain that he was not the child of Sir Thomas’s 1st w. Mary Strother: The Commons 1386-1421, iii. 811. Sir Thomas was survived by Alice, a 2nd or later w.: Cumbria RO, Carlisle, Musgrave of Edenhall mss, D/Mus/2/10/42. bro. of John*. m. The peds. identify his w. as Elizabeth, da. of Thomas Bethom: CP, ix. 437. But there are difficulties in accepting the identification. Not only was our MP much older than Elizabeth Bethom, but in the dispute between Thomas Bethom and Bethom’s second wife’s stepson, William Stapleton, our MP sided with the latter, to whose daughter his eldest son was married. On the other hand, shortly before his death in c.1450, Bethom named our MP among his feoffees: C140/40/20. On this evidence the matter is beyond resolution. Another potential father-in-law for our MP is Sir Thomas Tunstall (d.1415) of Thurland, Lancs., who, in Apr. 1411, took joint estate with him in the Musgrave patrimony: Musgrave of Edenhall mss, D/Mus/2/10/78. at least 3s. 6da.
