FLORE, Roger (d.1427), of Oakham, Rutland.

Submitted by legacy on
Family and Education
s. and h. of William Flore (d.c.1405/6) of Oakham prob. by his w. Ellen. m. (1) by Sept. 1398, Katherine, da. and h. of William Dalby (d.1405) of Oakham, at least 4s. inc. Thomas, 3da.; (2) by Jan. 1412, Cecily, da. of Agnes Samon, at least 2s. 1da.CP25(1)192/8/11; CPR, 1370-4, p. 319. Unless otherwise stated, all references used in this biography are derived from J.S. Roskell’s article on Flore in Trans. Leics. Arch. and Hist. Soc. xxxiii. 36-44. We know that Flore had at least 11 children, three of whom — Agnes, James and William — were definitely by his second wife. Two of his daughters were, in fact, called Agnes, although the elder, who married Sir Henry Pleasington of Burley, clearly predeceased her father. He also had two sons named William, one of whom was born before 1404 and seems to have died young. The other is first mentioned in a codicil added to Flore’s will in October 1425, which suggests that he was then a mere infant. The latter’s mother, Cecily, and her second husband obtained custody of the boy after Flore’s death (C1/7/109).
