Thomas, Lord Stanley by Michael Iliffe
Thomas, Lord Stanley by Michael Iliffe Thomas Lord Stanley was the son of Thomas, 1st Baron Stanley. The 1st baron was a younger son of Cheshire gentry who had been elevated to the peerage. Thomas, his son, became the 2nd Baron Stanley at his father’s death in 1459, and in 1461 became Chief Justice of Cheshire. In 1472 he married Eleanor, the sister of Richard Neville (“the kingmaker”). They had four sons that we know of; George, Edward, Edmund and James. George was to become Lord Strange, James joined the Church, Edward and Edmund played no part in the politics of the time. Lord Stanley’s brother, William, later became Sir William Stanley. After the death of his wife, Eleanor, he married Margaret Beaufort in 1482, and became the step-father of Henry Tudor, son of Edmund Tudor, the Duke of Richmond, who died in 1458. Margaret was the daughter of John, 1st Duke of Somerset; she brought him great wealth, and a wife of breeding and accomplishment. Thomas and Margaret had no children together. During the personal rule of Henry VI, Lord Stanley became Controller of the Royal Household, and in times of crisis the court looked to him to provide troops in the North-West. Stanley’s greatest danger came in 1459, when Queen Margaret made a bid to recruit him directly in Cheshire, when the Yorkists were mobilising and sought assistance from the Stanleys. To add to his dilemma, his father died that year, leaving the 24 year old Thomas to weather the storm. At the Battle of Blore Heath that year, young Stanley played a game of brinkmanship and held his retinue and levies some miles from the encounter. -

(December 1997) Mary Catherine Wilheit, A. B., Wilson College Chair of Advisory Committee: Dr. John L. Canup Obedience Robins emigrated to Virginia in the 1620s in search of the land and status his elder brother gained by inheritance. This thesis establishes motivations for immigration and methods by which one English emigr6 achieved success in Virginia. The 1582 will of Richard Robins established a pattern of primogeniture for successive generations of his Northamptonshire family. Muster lists, wills, parish registers and a 1591 manor survey record increasing prosperity and associated expectations. Robinses were among those "better sorts" who paid taxes, provided armour, held local office, educated their children, and protcstcd against perceived government injustice. In Virginia. Richard Robins*s great grandson parlayed his assets into land, office and status. The extent of his education and financial resources was probably limited, but good health, timing. -

Wickham Court and the Heydons Gregory
http://kentarchaeology.org.uk/research/archaeologia-cantiana/ Kent Archaeological Society is a registered charity number 223382 © 2017 Kent Archaeological Society glrcirecoingia Iantinna WICKHAM COURT AND THE HEYDONS By MOTHER MARY GREGORY, L.M., M.A.OxoN. Lecturer in History, Coloma Training College, Wickham Court THE manor of West Wickham in Kent came into the hands of the Heydon family of Baconsthorpe, Norfolk, in the latter years of the fifteenth century. The Heydons, a family which could be classed among the lesser gentry in the earlier part of the century, were in the ascendant in the social scale. The accumulation of manors was a sign of prosperity, and many hitherto obscure families were climbing into prominence by converting the wealth they had obtained through lucrative legal posts into real estate. The story of the purchase of West Wickham by the Heydons and of its sale by them just over a century later provides a useful example of the varying fortunes of a family of the gentry at this date, for less is known about the gentry as a class than of the nobility. John Heydon had prospered as a private lawyer, and his son Henry was the first of the family to be knighted. Henry's father made a good match for him, marrying him into the house of Boleyn, or Bullen, a family which was advancing even more rapidly to prominence. The lady chosen was a daughter of Sir Geoffrey Boleyn, a wealthy mercer who, in 1457, was elected Lord Mayor of London. Sir Geoffrey's grandson married Elizabeth Howard, a daughter of the Duke of Norfolk; his great-granddaughter, Henry Heydon's great-niece, was to be queen of England. -
