Biography

Alice Plumpton was the daughter of Sir William de Plumpton of Plumpton, Yorkshire, and Christian de Mowbray.^{[1][2][3][4][5]} Her date of birth is estimated to be about 1335.^[6]

A contract for the marriage of Alice Plumpton and Sir Richard de Sherburne was signed in 1351.^[1] They had one son and two daughters.^[3][4]

• Richard^[1]
• Joan^[1][5]
• Margaret, wife of Richard de Bailey^[1][5]

Alice Plumpton married second about 1364 to Sir John le Boteler (or Botiller), second but eldest surviving son and heir of Sir William le Boteler and his wife Elizabeth.^[1][3][4] They had two sons and three daughters.^[3][4]

• William, K.B., born about 1373, died 26 September 1415, married ___ Hoghton (divorced) and Elizabeth Standish, with whom he had two children.^[1]
• John^[1]
• Margaret^[1]
• Alice, wife of John Gerard, Esq.^[1]
• Elizabeth, wife of Richard Boteler^[1]

In 1370 Alice claimed the custody of her Richard Sherburne's son Richard. Nothing more is known of this son. In 1373 Alice released her right to dower in lands in Aighton formerly belonging to William, son of Sir Robert de Shireburne. ^[7]

Alice Plumpton died after 6 November 1408. She obtained a license for a private oratory on that date.^[1][3]

Research Notes

Daughters

The History of Parliament Online entry for her second husband, John le Boteler, attributes two sons and only two daughters to their marriage.^[8] It does not name the daughters.

Magna Carta Surety Ancestry

Through her father, she descends from the Magna Carta Surety Robert de Ros.^[1] Some believe that her mother descends from five Sureties: Richard and Gilbert de Clare, John de Lacy, Saher de Quincy, and William de Mowbray. The evidence is purely circumstantial, however, and the line is not supported by Douglas Richardson.^[9] Douglas Richardson states that there is insufficient evidence to determine, with any confidence, which branch of the Mowbray family Christiana was a member (see Magna Carta Ancestry (2011), vol. III, page 365, footnote 215).^[2]
