Biography

Elizabeth Beke was born circa 1350-1355 at Eresby, Lincolnshire, England.

Elizabeth was the daughter of Nicholas de Bek.[1]

Elizabeth married Robert de Swynorton, knight.[1]

Elizabeth and Robert had children:

  1. Maud, who was married to John Savage, esq;[1]

Elizabeth died about 1373 at Swynnerton, Staffordshire, England.

On 12th day before Kalends of August, 1405, which was 21 July, a confirmation by Pope Innocent VII at St Peter's, Rome, at the recent petition of Maud, wife of John Savage, esquire, of the diocese of Lichfield—containing that her parents [the late] Robert de Swynorton, knight, and the late Elizabeth his wife, upon learning that they had contracted marriage in ignorance that they were related in the fourth degree of kindred, obtained from the late John de Cabrespino, canon of Narbonne, then nuncio in England, who asserted that he had faculty for the purpose from Urban V, dispensation to remain in their marriage, with declaration of the legitimacy of future offspring; and adding that her said parents thereafter died, that she was born after the said dispensation, and that the registers of the said pope which should contain the said faculty are not in the Roman court— of the said dispensation, with declaration that the said marriage and Maud herself were legitimate. Exemplification is given of the letters of dispensation of John de Cabrespino, doctor of canon law, canon of Narbonne, papal nuncio in England, addressed to Robert de Swynarton (sic) and Elizabeth, daughter of Nicholas de Bek, of the diocese of Lichfield, which themselves contain exemplification of Urban V's faculty Personam tuam, dated at Avignon, 8 Id. July anno 1 [1363], to dispense twenty-five men and as many women of his nunciature to remain in marriages contracted in ignorance of their being related in the fourth degree of kindred or affinity, declaring past and future offspring legitimate. The nuncio's letters, dated in his lodging at London in the year of the Nativity, 1364, indiction 2, according to the computation of the Roman court, 25 Jan., anno 2 Urban V.[1]
