Biography
- "Married Joan, daughter of Sir William Sharefhull".
Seeming appearance 16 Oct 1361 (35 Edw III) taking some property at Wymington, Bedfordshire possibly illegally? Not sure who the Clemency (a young woman who died as a minor) is or the relationship to John Curtis. This would place his birth year at c. 1325:
- Wymington. A messuage, 200a. land, 20a. meadow and 2s. rent, together with the advowson of the church, came into the king’s hand by the death of the said Clemency, and are held of the king by petty serjeanty, rendering yearly 2s. by the hands of the sheriff.
- She died a minor on 16 July last. Richard, son of the late William Harcourt, aged 36 years and more, is her heir. This Richard Harcourt, immediately after the death of Clemency, entered the premises and alienated them to John Curteys and his heirs without the king’s licence.[1]
