Research Notes

Katherine is listed in Richardson's Royal Ancestry as a daughter of Thomas and Katherine (Mortimer) de Beauchamp, "nun at Shouldham".[1]

Cawley does not list her as their daughter, but as the daughter of their son Guy, citing their 1369 wills that name "Katherine the daughter of my son Guy a nun at Shouldham".[2]

Cawley also notes that she is named in Guy's 1359 will:

KATHERINE de Beauchamp ([1352/53]-after 1 Apr 1400). The will of "Guy de Beauchamp Knt", dated 26 Sep 1359, bequeathed property to "the Earl my father...the Countess my mother, Philippa my wife...Katherine my daughter a nun at Shouldham",...[2][3]

And in the will of Thomas (son of Thomas and Katherine):

The will of "Thomas Beauchamp Earl of Warwick", dated 1 Apr 1400, bequeathed property to "Richard my son and heir...my daughter Beauchamp...my brother of Bergavenny...my sisters of Suffolk and Clifford and...my niece Katherine Beauchamp the nun at Shouldham"...[2]

Whether daughter of Thomas & Katherine or Guy & his wife (or if both couples had a daughter Katherine, nun at Shouldham), she had no children.
