Walter Lee Sheppard, Jr. "Sir Nicholas de Loveyne and his Two Wives. I"
The Genealogists' Magazine 15:254-255 :

"2. Abstract of the will of Sir Nicholas de Loveyne, (Drake, Hundred of
Blackheath p. 147): He bequeathed to his wife Margaret {de Vere}; to his
son Nicholas, then under age, 3000 marks owed him by the king; to his
daughter Margaret. Small bequests tp: John, Lord Beaumont; to Henry and
Thomas Beaumont; to the Hon. Lady Mohun [Joan, daughter of Bartholomew,
Lord Burghersh and wife of John, 2nd Lord Mohun. Drake also notes that
Joan, wife of Sir John de Northwode, was a sister of Bartholomew, Lord
Burghersh. Thomas and Roger de Northwode held property in the manor of
Ospreng which had belonged to Sir John Pulteney, but was held by Sir
Nicholas de Loveyne j.u. (Cal. Inq. XI, Nos. 147, 149). Cal Inq. X No.
623, on Robert de North wode (writ 26 July 34, Edw. III) shows that he
held Gatton of Sir Nicholas de Loveyne of his manor of Ospreng, Kent.
Thomas de Northwode, his son and heir, 'is 26+']. Sir Aubrey de Vere,
brother of his second wife; Sir Edward Barkle (Barklow?); Sir John
Pekbrugge (his brother-in-law and one of his executors); Sir Reginald
Malins, 'my cousin, a silver cup with my arms'; Sir Bernard Brocas; Sir
Edward St. John; Sir Robert Belknap; and Sir John Loudham, clerk.
Prayers to be said fot the souls of Dame Katharine St. John and of Roger
her son, 'whose inheritance I have gotten'. Filed at Lambeth Palace
'Nicholas de Loveyn, knt. Poplar St. My de Graces, Mdsx; Penhurst, Kent;
Notfield,Bristowe, Surrey; co Camb. Oxon. 1375 86 Sudbury'. Sir Nicholas
Harris Nicholas' Testamenta Vetusta (1826) I,98 gives a very full
abstract of this will, taken from a garbled copy in Harleian MSS. (See
Drake op.cit.)."

The only clue to his ancestry is Sir Reginald Malins, his cousin.

Hopefully, this has been enlightening.
