Biography

http://www.thomas-times.co.uk/christine_famhist/gm6131111.html

Roger Wake was born at Blisworth in the family's manor house, which lay to the north west of the church. He was Sheriff of the county in 1483-4. As a follower of Richard III, he fought at Bosworth Field where the King was killed He was imprisoned in 1485 by Henry VII and his manors and lands were forfeited. They were restored to him two years later after he had appealed to the King and had been pardoned. He married Elizabeth Catesby, daughter of Sir William Catesby of Ashby St Ledgers. After her husband's death in 1503, she married Sir John Grey, fourth son of Thomas, Marquis of Dorset, and they lived in Blisworth. The date of Elizabeth's death is not known.

Roger of Blisworth left a will dated 12 March 1503. There is a table tomb commemorating him and his wife Elizabeth in the Lady Chapel of Blisworth Church. The inscription on the tomb says that Roger died on 16th March 1503. (Old Style dating)

Elizabeth Catesby came from Ashby St Ledgers. Her parentage is in doubt. Peter Gordon's book "The Wakes of Northamptonshire" states that "Roger married Elizabeth daughter of William Catesby of Ashby St Ledgers." It continues by saying "Roger was more fortunate than his father-in-law. Catesby was a close adviser of Richard III, being given the post of Chancellor of the Exchequer in 1483 and Speaker of Richard's only Parliament in the following year. He fought at Bosworth and was captured and beheaded three days later, 25th August 1485." This William Catesby married Margaret la Zouche. Other sources of information show Elizabeth Catesby to be the daughter of the William Catesby who was the father of the above William.

Sir John Grey, who married firstly Elizabeth Catesby, widow of Roger Wake (died 16 May 1504) of Blisworth, Northamptonshire, and daughter of Sir William Catesby, and secondly Anne Barley or Barlee (died 1557 or 1558), widow of Sir Robert Sheffield of Butterwick, Lincolnshire, Speaker of the House of Commons. Grey apparently had no issue by either of his wives, as his will dated 3 March 1523 makes no mention of children. After Grey's death his widow, Anne, married Sir Richard Clement (d.1538) of Ightham Mote, Kent.[16][17]
