LEWKNOR, Sir Thomas (c.1393-1452), of Horsted Keynes, Suss. and South Mimms, Mdx.

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on
Family and Education
b. c.1393, CIPM, xix. 955. s. and h. of Roger Lewknor (d.1400) of Horsted Keynes. There is some confusion about the identity of his mother. W.D. O’Bayley states in House of D’Oyly, 90-95, that she was Margaret, da. of Sir John Carew of Molesford, Berks., while D.G.C. Elwes and C.J. Robinson, in Castles W. Suss. 102, say she was Elizabeth, da. of Sir John Carew of Fulford, Devon. What is certain is that his father’s wid. was Eleanor or Helena, who married bef. Mich. 1404, Robert Knyvet: Add. 39375, f. 149. By Knyvet she had a son John, who was h. to the Knyvets’ manor of Shenfield alias Fitzwalters in Essex when she died in 1436: C139/73/8. Eleanor is not identified in the account of the Knyvets in Norf. Archaeology, xli. 9-11. That she was Sir Thomas Lewknor’s stepmother, rather than mother, is suggested by her nomination of her children John and Joan Lewknor as her executors; he is not mentioned: Guildhall Lib. London, commissary ct. wills, 9171/3, f. 452v. m. (1) Elizabeth (d. Sept. 1410), da. of Nicholas Carew† of Beddington, Surr. by Mercy, da. and h. of Stephen Haym† of Winchester, s.p.; O. Manning and W. Bray, Surr. ii. 529. (2) by Mar. 1416, Philippa (d. 2 Oct. 1420), C138/56/24. da. of Walter Dallingridge of Suss. and sis. of Richard Dallingridge*, wid. of Richard Berners (d.1412), of West Horsley, Surr., 1s. Roger*; (3) by 1428, Elizabeth (d.1465), C1/41/239-44; CFR, xx. 127. She was called Margaret in CPL, viii. 129, 131-2, presumably in error. da. of Sir William Etchingham of Etchingham, Suss. by Alice, da. and coh. of William Battisford of Benenden, Kent; CP40/778, rot. 338; Archaeologia Cantiana, xxviii. 199, 228, 230, 231. wid. of Sir Thomas Hoo (d.1420) of Wartling, Suss. and Luton Hoo, Beds.; stepmother of Thomas Hoo I* and mother of Thomas Hoo II*; 5s. inc.
