Biography

Ferdinando was named in the Visitation of Oxfordshire as the fourth son of Thomas Ivey and Lettice Culpepper. [1]

This Ferdinand Ivey is most likely the one who served King Charles I during the English civil war and who is buried in St George's Chapel at Windsor Castle. A black marble grave stone was recorded with the inscription: Here lyeth the body of Ferdinando Ivey who served King Charles the First during the whole Civil Warre, in Armes and dyed one of the Poor Knights of this Castle. Nov 26 1695 age 75 [2] This would make his birth date about 1620.

The Poor Knights of Windsor were formed by King Edward III shortly after the Battle of Creçy, consisting of Knights who, having taken their private armies to France to fight for the King, had been taken prisoner by the French. The demands for heavy ransoms in return for their release often meant selling up their complete estates in order to raise sufficient money. Also known as the Alms Knights the 26 members mirrored the 26 Garter Knights, and were given accommodation in the Lower Ward of Windsor Castle in exchange for daily prayer in St George’s Chapel for, and on behalf of, the Monarch and the Garter Knights.The Alms Knights lived a somewhat monastic existence in the Castle, though undoubtedly some must have been married. [3]

Ferdinando Ivy, grandson of Sir George Ivy, deceased, has represented that he was admitted to the poor knight's place of Windsor, void by the death of —— Beck, and held it six months, but on Captain Draper's restoration to his place, Thomas ... [4]

Research Note

If the Visitation of Oxfordshire is correct and Ferdinando was the fourth son of Thomas and Lettice, then a birthdate of 1620 is unlikely, given they did not marry until 1617. This means that Ferdinando Ivey buried at St George's chapel may be a nephew of Thomas.
