DYKES, William (d.1447), of Waverton, Cumb.

Family and Education
s. and h. of William Dykes of Waverton. m. ?Elizabeth, da. of Sir William Leigh† (d.1428) of Isel and Blindcrake by Agnes (d. by Apr. 1428), da. and coh. of Sir Clement Skelton† of Stainton and Orton, Cumb., She is identified as our MP’s wife in a ped. of 1665: Vis. Cumb. and Westmld. ed. Foster, 41. Such a match is plausible on geographical, chronological and, since the Leighs were also connected with the Percys, political grounds. If it was made, however, Dykes was not always on easy terms with his wife’s family. By 1432 they were in dispute over a tenement at Blindcrake, near the Leigh residence at Isel, with our MP suing a special assize of novel disseisin against them: KB27/685, rot. 41; C66/433, m. 28d. at least 2s.
