Biography

Juliane was the daughter of John de Northwode (see Research Notes below) and Joan Hart. She was born in about 1362.^[1][2]

In November 1379 a fine was levied for her marriage to John Digge of Barham, Kent, so they must have married before then.^[1][2] As both families had their properties in Kent, the marriage probably took place in that county. She brought to the marriage the manor of Wichling, Kent.^[1][2][3] Juliane and her husband had four children:

• John^[1][2][3][4]
• Isabel, who became a nun^[1][2][4]
• Cecily, who married someone with the last name Clinton^[1][2][4]
• Joan, who married someone with the last name Sackville^[1][2][4]

Another possible daughter, not named by Richardson, may be:

• Elizabeth, who married Henry Aucher, Gent.^[5]

An IPM for Juliane's husband was held in 1420/1, so he presumably died that year.^[1][2] It is not known when Juliane died.

Research Notes

The Diggs pedigree in the Harleian Society edition of the 1619 Visitation of Kent states that Juliana's father was Roger Northwood, younger brother of John de Northwode.^[4] A Northwoode genealogical roll dating from 1385-1405 says that Juliane was daughter of John:^[1][2]

"Of which Sir John and Joan issued Sir Roger de Norwode, William de Northwode, James de Norwode, Juliana de Norwode, now wife of John Digge, and Joan, now wife of Sir John Dengeyne."^[6]
