• Who was Joan, a coheiress of Edmund, Earl of March (? d. 1425)

    From Johnny Brananas@21:1/5 to All on Tue May 3 12:08:16 2022
    Can anyone explain the following statement of relationships, dating from between 14 and 16 Henry VI (ca. 1436-38)?

    "The share of Henry, a minor, son and heir of Henry, son and heir of Joan, late the wife of John, lord Grey de Codnor, one of the co-heiress of Edmund, earl of March."

    https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=hvd.hnkhj9&view=1up&seq=444&skin=2021&q1=bodulgate

    Genealogics.org shows an Edmund Earl of March, who died 1425, with only two sisters, Anne and Eleanor, married respectively to the Duke of York and Lord Courtenay.

    Was there another sister Joan?

    _Complete Peerage_ shows a Lord John Grey "of Codnor," b. in or before 1396, died ca. September 1430, with a wife Joan, who is recorded as buried as lady "Grey of Codnor" at the Friars Minors, London, in one of Stowe's manuscripts. However, CP says this
    Lord John died "s.p.," which would mean no son Henry and certainly no grandson Henry.

    Perhaps Joan married twice with a son Henry from a previous marriage.

    Good point, as the surname of Henry the minor child isn't stated.

    Thoroton has: "The king, 9 H. 6. Decemb. 18 [i.e., December 1429 ?/ 1430?] committed to John duke of Bedford, the custody of the Castles, mannors, &c. which were Joanes, late wife of lord Grey of Codnor, deceafed, which, after the death of the said
    Joane, came into the kings hands, by reafon of the minority (e) of Henry de Grey, son and heir of the said Joane, with the marriage of the faid heir ..."

    There is apparently some confusion here. As best I can tell, it refers to Joan de Cherleton, daughter of Aleanor de Holand, and half-sister and co-heiress of Edmund, Earl of March, who married John Grey, Earl of Tankerville, and had a son Henry. Among
    the family holdings was a share of the Holand manor of Cottingham, the location mentioned in the abstract. However, this requires two corrections. First, John Grey was not of Codnor, and the heir of Joan at the time was Henry, son of Joan, who was a
    minor (his inquest for proof of age was performed in 1441, concluding he was born August 1420), not Henry son of Henry son of Joan.

    Yep, I had wondered about that possibility. Another error is that Joan Cherlton's son Henry was knighted in 1425/6, whereas these heirs of Joan, "Lady Grey of Codnor" are not called knights. Also, Thoroton implies that Joan Grey of Codnor's son Henry
    died shortly after his mother (which makes believable the statement about a younger Henry, alive 1436/8, son of the one still [slightly] underage in 1430), whereas Henry "Tankerville" lived about 20 years longer (til around 1450).

    I note that repeatedly through 1434, the heir of Joan Cherlton is not called knight. Only from 1435 does he appear as such.

    his mother (which makes believable the statement about a younger Henry, alive 1436/8, son of the one still [slightly] underage in 1430), whereas Henry "Tankerville" lived about 20 years longer (til around 1450).

    This is all a muddle of some sort. We know that the Joan who was co-heiress of the Earl of March married John Grey, knight, not of Codnor, and by him had a son Henry who was born in 1420 (and hence could not himself have had a son Henry by the time in
    question). We know that Cottingham was part of her family inheritance. I just see no way the extract does't refer to this woman. And we know she didn't have a son by an earlier marriage becasue Henry Grey was her heir. There is just no way the extract in
    question can be correct, and I suspect that this is a scribal error, where the original text said "Henry, a minor, son and heir of Joan," but the copyist or abstractor jumped a line and repeated text, turning it into "Henry, a minor, son and heir of
    Henry, son and heir of Joan". As to her being formerly wife of John Grey, Lord of Codnor, it is at least theoretically possible that she married first John Grey, father of her son Henry, and subsequently married a separate John Grey, Lord of Codnor.
    Otherwise we would have to have three separate records all referring to Joan, wife of John of Codnor being in error, or just one huge coincidence and confusion, where there were two different Joans, wives of different John Greys, both with sons named
    Henry, and this extracted record is confusing the two. I am not happy with either scenario, but can't think of a better one.

    Yes, you're probably right about this. The property Cottingham, which was a Holland property, seems to require it.

    I think Thoroton probably cited the record of John, Duke of Bedford, taking custody of the lands and heir, even though the property he was discussing (Nottinghamshire) was not included in the list (otherwise, it would show a link to the Codnor family
    which he had been discussing in depth prior to citing the Bedford custody record).

    I didn't include it in my summaries because it may all be coincidence - being close kin of the king he would have had his hand in all kinds of pies - but John, Duke of Bedford, had an interest in some of the early proceedings about Henry, heir of Joan
    Cherlton, too.

    Todd, I think you have hit on it: Joan (Cherleton), Lady Grey of Powis (her husband is simply styled "Sir John Grey" in his IPMs, the title Count of Tancarville being of Normandy, so apparently not used in the Chancery Rolls) must have re-married, after
    Tancarville was killed at the battle of Baugé in March 1421, to Sir John Grey (5th Lord Grey of Codnor).

    This would be a marriage easily overlooked through the centuries, as her two husbands were both 'Sir John Grey' in records - they became combined into one husband, her first one Tancarville, by whom she had her son and heir.

    But in the Nottinghamshire IPM of her half-brother the Earl of March, taken on 1 August 1425, just sixteen days prior to Lady Joan (Cherleton) Grey's own death on 17 September 1425, "...his [March's] next heirs are Richard duke of York, son of Anne his
    sister and heir and daughter of Eleanor, late countess of March; Joan, wife of John Grey, chevalier, second sister and heir of Edmund and daughter of Eleanor; and Joyce wife of John Typtoft, chevalier, third sister and heir of Edmund and daughter of
    Eleanor."

    Note that Joan is "wife" not widow of Sir John Grey. Her husband was alive in September 1425.

    Relevant records:
    CFR 1426, Jan 27: Henry Grey, minor son and heir of Joan, late wife of Sir John Grey of Codenore
    CFR 1426, Mar 8: Henry Grey, minor son and heir of Joan, late wife of John Grey, knight, sister of Edmund Earl of March

    These two records above further support that Joan (Cherleton) Grey, widowed countess of Tancarville, remarried Sir John Grey of Codnor.

    Sir John Grey of Codnor was alive in January-March 1426. If his deceased wife had a son and heir, the boy had to have been from a previous marriage, or Sir John Grey of Codnor, not the crown, would be entitled to custody of the lands of the minor Henry
    Grey. Only if a knight was the stepfather, not the father, of the son and heir of an heiress, could he not retain custody of her lands during the heir's minority. A father had the right to whatever lands his child inherited from the mother, until that
    child came of age.

    CIPM 1427 May 27: John Grey and Elizabeth his wife

    So Sir John Grey of Codnor was remarried, within two years after the death of Joan (Cherleton), Lady Grey of Powis, to Lady Elizabeth Fitzgerald.

    CCR 1428, Nov 12: Henry Grey, minor, son and heir of Joan who was wife of John Grey, knight, and sister of Edmund, Earl of March
    CCR 1429, Apr 1: Henry Grey, minor, son and heir of Joan who was wife of John Grey, knight, and sister of Edmund, Earl of March
    CFR 1430, Sep 26: John Grey, knight, tenant in chief
    CIPM 1430, Oct 16: John Grey, knight, [of Codnor], heir brother and heir Henry Grey, aged 25+

    Sir John Grey of Codnor died without issue, survived by his second wife Lady Elizabeth (Fitzgerald), who would go on to re-marry, as his second wife, James Butler, 4th Earl of Ormond.

    His heir was his brother Henry Grey, over age 25.

    CFR 1430, Nov 14: Henry Grey, minor, son of John Gray, knight
    CFR 1430, Nov 14: Henry Grey, brother and heir of John Grey, knight

    These two entries prove that there were two distinct Henry Greys in November 1430. One, a minor, the heir of Sir John Gray [note the spelling 'Gray' - this Sir John, the count of Tancarville, was from the Northumberland Gray of Heaton family, completely
    separate and un-related to the Greys of Codnor, or the Greys of Wilton and Ruthin], and the other, of full age, the heir of Sir John Grey of Codnor.

    CFR 1430, Nov 18, Henry Grey, minor son of Joan, formerly wife of John Grey of Codenore

    And here is another entry which is evidence that Joan (Cherleton), Lady Grey of Powis was married to Sir John Grey of Codnor when she died in September 1425.

    Could this somehow have been error by Chancery clerks, confusing the two different Sir John Greys whose heirs were each named Henry? If it happened only once, it could be chalked up to error, but as Todd points out, it's three different occasions, two of
    which occurred when Sir John Grey of Codnor was still alive.

    Complete Peerage makes no mention of a burial for Joan (Cherleton), Lady Grey of Powis. So when CP notes that "A Lady Joan Grey, wife of Sir John Grey Lord of Codnor, is stated to have been buried in the Apostles Chapel on the south side of the choir of
    the Friars Minors, London" per Stow's 'Collections', we can be fairly certain this applies to Joan (Cherleton), Lady Grey of Powis.

    Nice work, John and Todd - this is an important addition to Complete Peerage.

    It's also a correction to Burke's Peerage (2003 edition), p. 2298 (sub Leinster), which has "1c Joan; m 1st Jenico Grey; m 2nd 1432 4th Earl of Ormonde and dsp July 1452" as a dau of the 5th Earl of Kildare and his first wife Margaret Rocheford, and "1c
    Elizabeth; b 1398; m 2nd Lord (Baron) Grey (of Codnor)" as a dau of the 5th Earl of Kildare and his 2nd wife Agnes Darcy. Clearly from the Chancery entries which Todd timelines, the 5th Earl of Kildare had no daughter by his first wife (who was an
    heiress), and it was his daughter by his 2nd wife Agnes Darcy, Lady Elizabeth Fitzgerald (1398-1452) who married 1st by May 1427, Sir John Grey of Codnor (dsp 1430), and married 2nd (dispensation 29 April) 1432, as his 2nd wife, James Butler, 4th Earl of
    Ormond (1390-1452).

    Todd, I think you have hit on it: Joan (Cherleton), Lady Grey of Powis (her husband is simply styled "Sir John Grey" in his IPMs, the title Count of Tancarville being of Normandy, so apparently not used in the Chancery Rolls) must have re-married,
    after Tancarville was killed at the battle of Baugé in March 1421, to Sir John Grey (5th Lord Grey of Codnor).

    Thanks for clearing up what Todd was saying/ implying, which I didn't really comprehend. My eyes tend to glaze over at details of IPMs, but I realize they are quite useful.

    I had no inkling about the Fitzgerald wife of John Grey of Codnor.

    Speaking of John Stowe, is there some recent or scholarly edition of all his notes of gravestones and monuments? I know the two-volume version of his _Survey of the Cities of London and Westminster_ (1733-5), perhaps added to by the editor Mottley/
    Seymour, contains many notes on gravestones, yet I find no mention of Joan Grey of Codnor.

    Interesting list of burials (about 23 pages of small-print names).

    I wonder about the date (1335) assigned, however. Some of those earlier lords of Codnor had wives named Joan.

    the same Henry 'of Tancarville' son of Joan seems to be the basis.

    Yeah, that's why I wasn't necessarily going to credit it with being scholarly.

    Based on the description of his editing at the start of the list, the name of John, Lord Grey of Codnor, as Joan's husband was in the original, but the date of 1335 was added by the editor. This is actually the death date of Richard, 2nd Lord Grey of
    Codnor, who did have a wife Joan. I am guessing that the editor, being unaware of the marriage of John 5th Lord to a Joan, simply jumped to the conclusion (or maybe in this case jumped to the confusion) that this was the Joan he was aware of, the 2nd
    Lord's wife, in spite of the name of the husband being wrong.

    Google Translate returns prose that is a bit awkward, but seems a reasonably accurate rendering:
    John Gray, knight, in 1434 (1). We do not believe that there is identity between this character and Sir Gray de Codnore, governor of Argentan in 1417 (2), but we would be tempted to recognize the captain of Exmes in a certain John Gray, named captain of
    Tancarville in 1417 (3), gratified on September 17 of that year with the fief of Tilly, confiscated from the house of Harcourt. This Jehan Gray received, as a gift, the fiefs of Talonnay and Gennevraye near Merlerault (4). A certain Allain Gray, his
    relative no doubt, served under his orders as lance on horseback.

    Deepl Translate is pretty similar, though the middle part is rendered in more natural, less word-for-word English:
    John Gray, knight, in 1434 (1). We do not believe that there is an identity between this character and Sir Gray de Codnore, governor of Argentan in 1417 (2), but we would be tempted to recognize the captain of Exmes in a certain John Gray, named captain
    of Tancarville in 1417 (3), who was given the fief of Tilly, confiscated from the house of Harcourt, on September 17 of that year. This Jehan Gray received, as a gift, the fiefs of Talonnay and Gennevraye near Merlerault (4). A certain Allain Gray, his
    relative no doubt, served under his orders as a lance on horseback."

    I think either of these are acceptable.

    Okay, so basically a miss-mash of notes about various Grays. The Grey of Codnor who was governor of Argentan in 1417 seems to have been Richard Grey of Codnor, father of John (d. 1430). But neither Sir John Grey of Codnor nor Sir John Gray of
    Tancarville can have still been living in 1434.

    Could this have been over a displeasing marriage in the view of the King?

    "The Acts of the Privy Council throw some light on the Fleet, giving several instances of Committals thereto, one of the first being 9 Hen. V. Oct. 14, 1421. Wherein Hugo Annesley, who probably was then Warden of the Fleet, was directed to incarcerate
    therein one Grey de Codenore, who had been exiled, and having received his passport, remained in England, notwithstanding."
