s. and h. of Richard Cheyne of Shurland by Margery, da. and event. coh. of Robert Cralle of Cralle, Suss. m. The identity of the William Cheyne who married Margaret (d. 23 Aug. 1419), wid. of William Mowbray of Lincs. and Yorks., whose grave is in Hever church, Kent (W.D. Belcher, Kentish Brasses, i. 71; C138/42/73) remains something of a mystery. He was afterwards a knight (CCR, 1422-9, p. 441) but was not necessarily the judge, for, although the latter did have a wife named Margaret, she was buried in the church of St. Benet, Paul’s Wharf. bef.

CHEYNE, Roger (1362-1414), of Drayton Beauchamp, Bucks.
Main residence: Drayton Beauchamp, Bucks.
Notes

Not to be confused with his namesake, the King’s esquire elected for Oxon. in Oct. 1382 and Nov. 1384, who may well have been his uncle of that name (CPR, 1367-70, p. 215; CIPM, xvi. 818-20). The older Roger Cheyne had entered royal service at Woodstock in 1349, risen to be an esquire in the households of Edward III and Richard II, and died in 1398 (CPR, 1377-81, p. 247; 1396-9, p. 327). It seems very likely that he was the ‘quondam Armiger domini Regis’ whose monumental brass (in the shape of a plain cross lacking any other inscription) is at St. Peter’s church in Cassington, Oxon., although since the manor of Cassington later belonged to the younger Roger, the brass is generally ascribed to him: Bucks. Rec. Soc. i. 295.
