Notes |
- Roger de Beauchamp, son and heir apparent of Roger de Beauchamp by his wife Sibyl de Pateshulle,[3] was probably born in 1337 or 1338: Roger and Sibyl were married before 15 Mar 1337, Sibyl would have been 18 in 1337 (aged 40 in 1359), and his younger brother Philip was born 1338-9 (aged 14 in 1353, aged 23 in 1361).
Sir Roger de Beauchamp was "of Gunton, Norfolk" in right of his wife Joan.
Roger had two children:
1.) Roger de Beauchamp, Knt., born at Bletsoe, Bedfordshire in September 1362
2.) Margaret de Beauchamp, married Robert Mauteby, Esq.
Roger's second wife, Joan de Clopton, daughter of Walter de Clopton, was not the mother of his son Roger (born 1362; Joan's first husband was still living in 1363).
In 1373, Sir Roger de Beauchamp was going to France with John of Gaunt, and he may well have been killed while fighting there. He died intestate before 15 May 1374, when administration on his estate was granted to his widow, Joan.
Research Notes
Marriage with Joan Clopton: Research after the 2013 publication of Douglas Richardson's Royal Ancestry found that Joan de Clopton's first husband, Walter de Walcote, Knt., of Gunton, Norfolk, was living 30 October 1363. She therefore could not have married Roger before that date (nor could she be the mother of his son Roger, born 1362)
