Sir Thomas Harcourt was born circa 1377 at of Stanton-Harcourt, Oxfordshire, Ellenhall, Staffordshire, England, the son of Thomas Harcourt and Maud Grey.[1][2][3]
He married Joan Frauncis, daughter of Sir Robert Franceys, Sheriff of Nottinghamshire & Derbyshire and Isabel Brumpton, circa 8 November 1406.
"I suppose this Eleanor to have been the second wife of Sir Thomas Harcourt, Knight, son of Sir Thomas, and grandson of Sir William Harcourt, Knights, and ancestor by his first wife of the extinct Earls Harcourt; and I suppose her to have been the daughter of Sir Roger Lewknor, Knight, the son of Joane D’Oyley (heiress of Raunton), and the sister of Sir Thomas Lewknor, who carried on the line. [4]
It seems more likely that Eleanor Lewknor was the first wife of his son John, and that they had a son John who married Ann Scalars and died shortly after the birth of a daughter.
Sir Thomas Harcourt died on 6 July 1420; Buried at Stanton Harcourt, Oxfordshire.[1][2][3]
Thomas Harcourt and Joan Francis had 5 sons and 3 daughters:[1][2][3]
Thomas Harcourt and Eleanor had at least one son.
"Her son, John Harcourt, will have inherited Raunton, and probably other Harcourt estates in Staffordshire, by virtue of a fine levied by her nephew, Sir Roger Lewknor, the son of Sir Thomas, in 13 Edw IV (1473), whereby he settled the Manor of Raunton on (his cousin) John Harcourt, Esq." [4]
John Harcourt, of Raunton, Co. Stafford, Esq, the son of Eleanor, who thus succeeded to Raunton, Wiverston, and, as I suppose, also a share of the manor of Blymhill, presented to the church of Blymhill, in conjunction with others, in 1485. By virtue of this entail the manor of Raunton will have devolved on Sir Roger Lewknor the son of Joane D’Oyley. [4]
