Elizabeth Boteler, of Bewsey

The findings of an inquisition post mortem held on Sir William’s property in Warwickshire may have encouraged the belief that John was born out of wedlock, since they denied the existence of any legitimate issue. Certainly, from 1417 onwards, attempts were made to prevent John from succeeding his father, although none prevailed. Sir William also left a daughter named Elizabeth, who later married the son and heir presumptive of Nicholas Boteler* of Rawcliffe, John’s colleague in the Leicester Parliament of 1426.8
