Jane Knightley was the daughter of Richard Knightley and Jane Spencer.[1]
Her birth date is uncertain, but was likely between 1510 and 1530 based on her parents timelines. She has been suggested as the first[1] or second daughter.[2] She is here estimated to have been born about 1514 in England, assuming she was about 20 when she had her first child. (Note that there is some indication that her parents married around 1522, but that would be too late for daughter Jane to then have a child around 1534.)
Jane married George Lumley. They had three children: John, Baron Lumley (1534?-1609), Jane and Barbara.[1]
George was executed in 1537 for his role in Bigod's rebellion.[1]
Subsequently, by 22 Aug 1538, Jane married John Knottysforde of Great Malvern. He was Sergeant at Law, and died by 28 Jan 1558/59.[1]
Jane died before 1583.[1]
