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.

HUGFORD, Thomas (1394-1470), of Emscote, Warws.

Family and Education
b. 1394, s. and h. of Robert Hugford† (d.1411) of Emscote by his w. Joyce (d.1415). m. Margaret (fl.1452), The first certain record of this marriage dates from 15 May 1438, when the couple had a papal licence to have a portable altar: CPL, viii. 393. They had, however, already been married for several years, since an agreement for their daughter’s marriage was made as early as 1439: CPR, 1436-41, p. 343. Margaret’s family name was given in the inscription on the couple’s monumental brass, but was illegible when the brass was first recorded: W. Dugdale, Warws. i. 279. She was alive in 1452: C67/40, m. 9. at least 2s. John† and William†, 1da. Dist. 1458.

Nevertheless Hugford continued to act for a short period, either under the late duchess’s commission or as Brome’s deputy.
