Biography

Isabel married Richard Bagot de Blithefeld.^[1] Isabel and Richard had children:

1. John Bagot,^[1] esq, died 24 June 1490, who married Isabel, the daughter of John Curson of Essex.^[2]

Isabella wife of Richard Bagot died in 1477 and was buried in front of the altar in the chancel at Blithfield, Staffordshire.^[3][4]

Research Notes

According to the earlier version of this profile and most published pedigrees:

Isabel Aston was the daughter of Robert Aston, knight, of Haywood and of Parkhall in co Stafford, and his wife Johanna, the sister of Sir William Brereton, knight.^[1]

Isabel had siblings:

1. John Aston, died 1483, married Elizabeth, the daughter of Sir John Delves, knight;^[1] and
2. Parnell, who married Richard Bydulfe;^[1]

The difficulty with this account is that Isabel's son John Bagot Esq (bef.1445-1490) was born between 1436 and 1445. Isabel's estimated birth date has therefore been adjust to "before 1420", which makes her a contemporary of Sir Robert Aston: a sister perhaps, rather than a daughter. A record exists for a marriage between Isabel daughter of Roger Aston and Richard son of John Bagot in 1427 (perhaps a marriage contract between children entered into by their families).^[5] Isabel has therefore been detached as the daughter of Sir Robert Aston, and reattached as his sister, daughter of Roger Aston.

Further research is needed to establish conclusively whether Isabel's husband was Richard Bagot (bef.1388-aft.1475) or Richard Bagot (abt.1419-1485).
