Note 1

!Stylename: Hawkins / Hankeford, Sir Richard II., of Annery in Devon [~1397-~1431]

!Note: Only known son of Sir Richard Hawkins and Thomasin. Died 8 Feb 1431. His estates continued to be administered through later IPMs [1431–1437] due to feoffments, dowers, and minor heirs. Though not represented in the Kent visitation, likely due to his residence and inheritance in Devon, he may have been the transition point for the Hawkins Devonshire branch, culminating in Vicar John Hawkins [1454–1506].

Following the deaths of Sir Richard Hawkins/Hankeford II, his wives, and all immediate heirs, and after the completion of wardship and partition proceedings, the Devon holdings were later consolidated under William Hawkins [d. 1483] and subsequently passed to his son John Hawkins, later known as Captain John Hawkins. The Hankeford inquisitions do not introduce Captain John; they remove the last legal obstacles that made his later consolidation of the Devon estates possible.

!Note: Progression to knighthood: Feudal knighthood: land was held as a knight’s fee , which was inheritable. The heir inherited squiredom and the obligation to provide knight service, commonly serving as a squire before being knighted when called; refusal incurred scutage.

1422 – Parliamentary petition as esquire, exercising lordly military responsibility

!Note: Daughter Ann dies first → Joint IPM in 1430 for her dower rights [Richard still alive].

Richard died 8 Feb 1431; later IPMs [1431–1437] reflect continued administration, feoffments, dowers, and minority of heirs. [Elizabeth then Thomasin]. Date appears to be converted to Gregorian. Would be 8 Feb 1430 Julian.

Several [3] knights of the Hawkins family were recorded as “Hankford” in official titles, particularly in Devon records. This likely stems from a scribal misreading during knighthood documentation, compounded by estate associations. Contemporary family and Kent records retain “Hawkins,” but formal documents [IPMs, court rolls] reflect the Hankford variation due to inherited title usage. They are the same people.

SC 8/308 - 15351-15400: PETITIONS TO VARIOUS OFFICERS OF STATE. Individual petitions are described , dated, and are available at item level.

Catalogue description Petitioners: William Hankeford [Hankford], knight, chief justice. Name[s]: ...

Nature of request: Hankeford requests remedy because he was granted and paid for the reversion of the manor of Littleham but has not received it. Since St John owed the lady of Sturry a great sum of money for nearly £40 worth of land, on 12 July in the King's 2nd year [1414] at the church of St Andrew Holborn he offered to sell to the petitioner and those named by him the entire reversion of the manor of Littleham, held by Philippa, wife of John Flory for life, worth £20 yearly, for which Hankeford paid St John £200. After St John and Basset granted the same reversion to John and William Andrew and Dankyn who, it was declared to the petitioner's counsel at Plympton, had been instructed to grant the same reversion to Hankeford in fee simple by St John's son Oliver. Hankeford has often asked the feoffees to grant the reversion to him, Fulford, Richard and John Hankford and Daverrew, but they will not do so, claiming that neither St John nor his son ever ordered them to.

Nature of endorsement: On 9 July in the 6th year [1418], the council agreed that a writ be sent to St John to appear, in person or by his proctor, before the council in England on All Souls Day next to answer in this matter.

Places mentioned: Sturry, [Kent]; St Andrew Holborn, [Middlesex]; London; Littleham, Devon; Plympton, [Devon].

People mentioned: John SeyntJohn [St John], knight; lady of Sturry; Philippa [Flory], wife of John Flory; John Flory; Thomas Basset, partner of John St John; John Andrewe [Andrew], servant of John St John; William Andrewe [Andrew], servant of John St John; John Dankyn, clerk, servant of John St John; Oliver [St John], son of John St John; Henry Foleford [Fulford]; Richard Hankeford [Hankford]; John Hankeford [Hankford]; John Daverrew.

Proposed remedy / expectation: The feoffees were supposed to grant the reversion either to William himself or to those he named — namely:

2. Richard Hankeford - Most likely Richard II who just turned 21 days ago, while Richard I is 98 and dies in less than 1 year.

Parties to Indenture: Indentures between the king and the following for service in France. Richard Hankeford 9 Hen V.

Note: In feudal knighthood, land was held as a knight’s fee [feodum militis], which was inheritable. The heir inherited the obligation to provide

knight service, commonly serving as a squire before being knighted when called; refusal incurred scutage. This personal indenture from the King reflects that obligation and explains Richard’s direct summons for service in France.

Catalogue description Petitioners: Richard Hankeford [Hankford], esquire; Elizabeth Hankeford, wife of...

Petitioners: Richard Hankeford [Hankford], esquire; Elizabeth Hankeford, wife of Richard Hankford.

Nature of request: Richard Hankeford, esquire, and Elizabeth his wife complain that on the Friday after the last feast of St Martin, during the present parliament, William Fitzwaryn and Richard Laken, with a great number of Welshmen, attacked their castle of Whittington by night, seized it and are still holding it. They ask that by authority of this parliament proclamations might be made in Shropshire and the Welsh marches, and by the Sheriff of Berkshire, that William Fitzwaryn and Richard Laken are to appear or surrender themselves in Chancery within fifteen days following the proclamations to answer to the king for the forcible entry and other crimes. And if they do not, they should be convicted of these, and incur the ordained penalties. And it should also be contained in the proclamations that those who feed, sustain or conceal them and their allies in the castle, after the proclamation has been made, are to incur the aforesaid penalty. And if they do appear, that the Chancellor might have power to hear and determine the matter; and that he might grant the writs to make the proclamations, and all others which are necessary.

Nature of endorsement: The response to this petition, presented in the parliament held on the Monday before the feast of St Martin in the first year of the reign of King Henry, the sixth since the conquest, appears on the schedule sewn to the same petition.

Places mentioned: Whittington, [Shropshire]; Welsh March; Wales; le counte de Salop [Shropshire]; Berkshire.

People mentioned: Fulk Fitzwaryn [Fitz Waryn], knight, grandfather of Elizabeth Hankeford; Fulk [Fitzwaryn [Fitz Waryn]], son of Fulk Fitzwaryn; Fulk [Fitzwaryn [Fitz Waryn]], son of the younger Fulk Fitzwaryn; William Fitzwaryn [Fitz Waryn]; Richard Laken, knight.

Note: As it says on the dorse, this petition was presented in the parliament of November 1 Henry VI [1422].

Rotuli Parliamentorum; ut et Petitiones, et Placita in Parliamento, vol. IV, Hen V and Hen VI, [Record Commission, 1783], pp.192b-193b [no.2] [full edition of original petition and of attached schedule]

Whittington lies on the English side of Offa's Dyke, which in this area was the Norman boundary between England and Wales. The castle of Whittington may have begun as a Norman manor house, although there is no evidence for this. The site was fortified as a castle for William Peverel, in 1138, in support of Empress Matilda, the daughter of Henry I against King Stephen, nephew of King Henry I, and claimant to the throne during The Anarchy. In 1149, the lordship of Whittington, like Oswestry, was annexed by Madog ap Maredudd and became part of the Kingdom of Powys until Madog's death in 1160.[5][6]

In 1165 Henry II conferred the castle on Roger de Powys, to whom he gave funds for its repair in about 1173.[7] Roger was followed by his son Meurig [or Maurice], he was followed by his son Werennoc. A rival claim from Fulk III FitzWarin [who apparently claimed it under the Peverels] was not recognised until 1204, leading him to rebel against King John. FitzWarin was pardoned, and the castle and lordship of Whittington, not including Overton Castle was given to him. The castle then descended in the FitzWarin family, all called Fulk, until the death of Fulk XI in 1420.[citation needed]

The castle was captured and destroyed by Llywelyn ab Iorwerth of Gwynedd in 1223. It was returned under the peace treaty, and was rebuilt in stone, replacing the tower keep of a motte and bailey with inner bailey with buildings along a curtain wall and five towers on a raised platform surrounded by a moat, beyond which there is an outer gatehouse or barbican.[8] For the next forty years, the castle remained in English possession, but was ceded to Llywelyn ap Gruffudd by treaty.[9] After the defeat of Llewelyn in 1282, the castle became a lordly residence for the FitzWarin family.[10] However, after the death of Fulk VII in 1349, the castle went through a long period when the lords were almost always under age and usually absentees, though some repairs were carried out in about 1402. The lordship was laid waste in 1404 during the rebellion of Owain Glyndŵr, so that the lordship was worth nothing in 1407. However, the castle was not captured.[11]

It had been occupied during the minority of Fulk XI by his mother and her new husband William Lord Clinton, during whose time there was a dispute with the people of Oswestry who had cut down oak trees in his woods. When the FitzWarin line died out in 1420, the lordship passed to Fulk XI's sister Elizabeth, who married Richard Hankeford. In 1422, the castle was captured by escalade by William Fitzwaryn [presumably a cousin claiming the castle as heir male] and Richard Laken, but evidently soon restored to Lord Clinton. <<<< Restored to Richard Hankeford.

Their daughter, Thomasia, married William Bourghchier, thus carrying the FitzWarin peerage into the Bourchier family. Their grandson John Bourchier was made Earl of Bath, but his son John Bourchier, 2nd Earl of Bath exchanged the lordship and castle in 1545 with Henry VIII, for some former monastic estates nearer the main family home in Devon.[12]

Note: Since Thomasia, the next heir mentioned above, who married William Bourghchier, was the daughter of Richard Hankeford and Elizabeth FitzWarin, 8th Baroness FitzWarin, the castle was obviously restored from Lord Clinton to Richard and Elizabeth, its rightful owners.

Isabel Plantagenet of Cambridge and Henry Bourchier - 5th Baron Bourchier, 2nd Count of Eu, 1st Viscount Bourchier, 1st Earl of Essex had the following children:

83. William Bourchier - 1st Baron Fitzwaryn10 [341], son of William Bourchier - 1st Count of Eu [337] and Anne Plantagenet - of Gloucester, Countess of Stafford and Eu of Gloucester [338], was born in 1407. He had the title '1st Baron Fitzwaryn'.10 He died in 1474. He married Thomazine Hankeford [368]. He married Catherine de Affeton [1162].

William Bourchier [1407-1470] jure uxoris 1st Baron FitzWarin, was an English nobleman. He was summoned to Parliament in 1448[1] as Baron FitzWarin in right of his wife Thomasine Hankford.

He was the 2nd son of William Bourchier, 1st Count of Eu [c.1374-1420] by his wife Anne of Gloucester, Countess of Stafford, the daughter of the Plantagenet prince, Thomas of Woodstock, 1st Duke of Gloucester [13th and youngest child of King Edward III and Philippa of Hainault] by his wife Eleanor de Bohun elder daughter and coheiress of Humphrey de Bohun, 7th Earl of Hereford [1341-1373], Earl of Essex and Northampton. He had the following siblings:

Thomas Bourchier, [ca. 1404 – 30 March 1486], Archbishop of Canterbury and a cardinal, youngest brother

Eleanor Bourchier, [ca. 1417 – November, 1474], wife of John de Mowbray, 3rd Duke of Norfolk, sister

Firstly to Thomasine Hankford, one of the three daughters and co-heiresses, by his 1st marriage, of Sir Richard II Hankford [c.1397-1431] of Annery in Devon, [FALSE: grandson of Sir William Hankford [died 1422], KB, Lord Chief Justice of England]. Thomasine's mother [Sir Richard's 1st wife] was Elizabeth FitzWarin, 8th Baroness FitzWarin [c. 1404 – c. 1427], sister and heiress of Fulk FitzWarin, 7th Baron FitzWarin [1406–1420], feudal baron of Bampton, in Devon. Upon the death of Elizabeth FitzWarin in 1427 the barony of FitzWarin went into abeyance between her daughters Thomasine Hankford and Elizabeth Hankford [died 1433]. On the death of Elizabeth Hankford in 1433, the barony of FitzWarin was inherited by her sister Thomasine Hankford, the wife of William Bourchier, who was summoned to Parliament as Lord FitzWarin in her right. Thomasine Hankford's father married secondly to Anne Montacute, daughter of John Montacute, 3rd Earl of Salisbury [1350-1400] [or according to the Devon historian Tristram Risdon [d.1640], to Anne Nevill, daughter of Lord Nevill]. By his 2nd wife Sir Richard II Hankford left a daughter Anne Hankford [c. 1431 – 1485], who married Thomas Butler, 7th Earl of Ormond [c.1426-1515]. Anne Hankford and her husband inherited Annery, whilst Thomasine Hankford and her husband William Bourchier inherited Bampton. William Bourchier had by Thomasine Hankford progeny including:

Fulk Bourchier, 10th Baron FitzWarin [d.1480], son and heir. He requested in his will to be buried at Bampton. He married Elizabeth Dynham, one of the four sisters and co-heiresses of John Dynham, 1st Baron Dynham [1433-1501], KG, of Nutwell, Devon. Elizabeth remarried to Sir John Sapcotes and a stained glass heraldic escutcheon survives in Bampton church showing the arms of Sapcotes impaling Dinham. Fulk's son and heir was John Bourchier, 1st Earl of Bath and 11th Baron FitzWarin [1470–1539], created in 1536 Earl of Bath. The Bourchiers later moved their seat from Bampton westwards to Tawstock in North Devon.

Sir Richard Hankford [1397-1431] was an English landowner and soldier from Devon.[2]

Born about 21 July 1397, he was the son of Richard Hankford [died 1419],[2] MP for Devon in 1414 and 1416,[3] and his wife Thomasine Stapledon [died before 1419], daughter and sole heiress of Sir Richard Stapledion, of Norton Fitzwarren and Nonnington in Somerset.[2]

After the death of his father in 1419, he inherited his late mother's lands and in 1420 the lands brought to him by his wife, followed in 1424 by the lands of his paternal grandfather, Sir William Hankford [died 1423] KB, of Annery in Devon, Chief Justice of the King's Bench. Further landholdings came in 1425, when he and his wife inherited the estates of her grandmother Elizabeth Cogan [died 1397] that had been held by her widower Sir Hugh Courtenay. He served with the English forces in France during the Hundred Years' War in the retinue of his brother-in-law Thomas Montacute, 4th Earl of Salisbury and was knighted at St Albans between 8 July and 6 October 1429. He died on 8 February 1431 aged 33, holding properties in Berkshire, Cornwall, Devon, Gloucestershire, Herefordshire, London [where he and his wife owned four retail shops in Holborn], Middlesex, Oxfordshire, Shropshire, Somerset; Staffordshire, Wiltshire and Yorkshire.[2]

At some time before 1420 he married Elizabeth FitzWarin [died before 16 January 1428], daughter of Fulk FitzWarin, 6th Baron FitzWarin [1389–1407] and sole heiress of her brother Fulk FitzWarin, 7th Baron FitzWarin [1406–1420].[2] They had three daughters:

Thomasine Hankford [1423–1453], who inherited extensive lands from her mother and in 1437 married William Bourchier, 9th Baron FitzWarin [1407–1469].[2]

Elizabeth had died by 16 January 1428 and he then married Anne Montagu [died 1457], daughter of the executed John Montagu, 3rd Earl of Salisbury and sister of his patron, the 4th Earl.[2] They had one daughter:

Anne Hankford [died 1485],[2] who inherited Annery from her father. About 1445 she married Thomas Butler, 7th Earl of Ormond [died 1515].

His widow Anne married again to Sir Lewis John [died 1442] and then to John Holland, 2nd Duke of Exeter [died 1447]. She was buried with her third husband in the church of St Katharine by the Tower in the City of London.[2]
