Biography

https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Bozoun-3

Robert Bozoune of Wissingsett in Norfolk, Esq. Was of Stody in 1569, and of Thornage from 1582 to 1590. He sold Stody to Sir Nicholas Bacon by deed dated 20 September 14 Elizabeth (approx 1572).

He had two wives, first was Elizabeth Kervill the eldest daughter Humphrey Kervill of Wiggenhall St Mary in Marshland, Esq.

His second wife he married at Mileham 10 Oct 1563, and she was Winefred Knightly, daughter and coheir of William Knightly of Norwich, relict of Robert Coke of Mileham, Esq. (Buried at Tittleshall 16 Jan 1569. Presumably referring to Winefred.)

From the second wife, was John Bozoun of Horningtoft, gent. The first wife's children were apparently numerous. Roger was eldest, and heir, but there were also Herbert, Thomas, Jeffrie, Jane, Elizabeth, Amy (or Anne) and Elizabeth (or Isabell).

Because of this second marriage, which was also Winefred's, Robert became step father to the well known lawyer Edward Coke, and he has been credited with being a likely influence upon him.[1]
