Hello Bert, Doug, Tod, Tim et al.,

This query is in regard to some prior posts, primarily as I recall to and from Tod, concerning the ancestry of Katherine Wingfield (d.ca. 1386), wife of Michael de la Pole, Earl of Suffolk.

Based on work by Moriarty, cited by Tod in or before 1997, and subsequent posts to SGM re: the de Braose family, I show a hypothetical line of descent as follows :

1. John de Braose, of Bramber and Gower, d. 1232, m. Margaret ferch Llywelyn

2. Richard de Braose, 2nd son, of Stinton, d. bef 18 Jun 1292, m. Alice le Rus

3. Richard de Braose, 2nd son; m. Alianore

4. Sir Richard de Braose, aka Sir Richard Brews, of Wingfield, co. Suffolk; subject of the will of Sir John Wingfield

5. Alianor de Braose or Brews, b. say 1320,d. after 1362; m. Sir John Wingfield, of Wingfield [acquired manor of Wingfield by marriage]

6. Katherine Wingfield, m. bef 18 Oct 1361 to Michael de la Pole

This line is ancestral to the subsequent Earls and Dukes of Suffolk, and many besides (on and off the list). Assuming, of course, that the above construction is valid.

Is anyone aware of either additional information or research that would have a bearing on the above? Or, in fact, if any conflicting or disproving evidence has been discovered?

Please advise if there are any additional details required re: the above (based as indicated, on CP and relevant SGM posts).

John
