Research note

• vi. — Edith Stourton, whom the Visitation for Co. Beds, erroneously called daughter and heir of John, Lord Stourton, although the Visitation for Co. York leaves his name in blank, but from an inscription(*) it was recorded, "Hie jacet Editha soror' Will'i Storton, quondam uxor' D'ni Joh'is Beau- champ, militis, et post uxor' D'ni Roberti Shottesbroke, militis, qui obiit xiii. die Junii anno domini 1441(!), cui' a'n'e p'pi'etr Deus." Edmondson •https://archive.org/stream/historyofnobleho01mowb#page/92/mode/1up •Pg.92 •erroneously placed her as a child of her father's first marriage, but Haare and Collins both mentioned her as part issue of the second marriage. She and both her husbands were recorded in the Visitation for Co. Beds., and in Harleian MS. 1074, a fuller account is given of her, shewing the inscription to her first husband and that inscribed to her own memory, wherein she was called sister of William Stourton, sometime wife of Sir Thomas Beauchamp, knight, and after wife of Sir Robert Shottesbroke, knight. Under her brother, John Stourton, of Preston, it is seen that the heirs of the body of his sister, Edith, called late wife of Sir Robert Shottesbroke, knight, had the next remainder in certain of his property, contingent on his three daughters dying without issue, which they did not do. She married (1) Sir John Beauchamp, knight, of Bletsho, Co. Bedford, sometimes called Lord Beauchamp, but he was never summoned to Parliament ; he had livery of his lands in 1406-7, and died in 1412, and (2) Sir Robert Shottesbroke(*), who was shewn to be the then husband of Edith, late wife of John Beauchamp, chivalier, in an Inquisition taken at Sherborne, Co. Dorset, on 30th April, 9 Henry V., after the death of her only son, John, son and heir of John Beauchamp, relating to the Manor of Ashmore in that county. It will have been seen that her issue by her first husband. Sir John Beauchamp, of Bletsho, Co. Bedford, was given in the old pedigree set out on page 74, as : — .... etc. •https://archive.org/stream/historyofnobleho01mowb#page/95/mode/1up •Pg.95

Since there's not a reliable source for a 1391 marriage for her parents, her birth year was changed from "after 1390" to "about 1380" to resolve a database error (her father's profile has his death about 1380).

C - In reviewing the info for John Beauchamp & Edith in light of your G2G post... The 1391 marriage for John Stourton & Alice mentioned in my comments (which led to the "after 1390" birth year for Edith) appears to only be found in Lewis's database, where it does not have a source citation. Sorry for contributing to the confusion!

Alice, "Our Royal, Titled, Noble, and Commoner Ancestors and Cousins" (website, compiled by Mr. Marlyn Lewis, Portland, OR).

Lewis cites Richardson, but all Richardson says about Alice is she was John's 2nd wife and "presumably" the mother of Edith (Royal Ancestry, IV:527 SAINT JOHN 14 & Magna Carta Ancestry, III:473 SAINT JOHN 9).

Liz, that's fine. Thanks.
update: removed Jane Basset (John's 1st wife) as her mother and shifted birth from "about 1390" to "after 1390" - John's profile says he married Alice in 1391.

Richardson's Royal Ancestry, volume IV, p 527, has Edith's parents as "John Stourton, Knt.,... presumably by his 2nd wife, Alice."

Text in the profile of her father shows her as daughter of Alice also (and John & Alice married in 1391). Another source (a Rootsweb tree) has her as daughter of Jane, but includes info from CP that names only her father:

"He [John de Beauchamp] m. later, Edith, daughter of Sir John Sourton. He d. Apr 1412. Will dated 21 Feb 1412, probated 10 Dec 1414. His widow m. Sir Robert Shottesbrooke, and d. 13 June 1441. [Complete Peerage II:45, XIV:75]"

OK if I remove Jane as her mother and change her birth year to "after 1390"?
