Burdon’s loyalty to the new regime was clearly now beyond question, and when, in 1403, a combination of Welsh and northern rebels marched with the Percys against King Henry he enlisted under the royal banner, only to fall on 21 July at the battle of Shrewsbury. He left but one child, a daughter named Elizabeth, who married Sir Robert Markham. Her mother, Millicent, retained one third of the Burdon estates as dower, and it was clearly with the intention of gaining possession of the entire inheritance that Sir Robert’s father, the judge, John Markham, made her his second wife. On his death in 1409, Millicent married her influential neighbour, Sir William Meryng*, to whom she brought two dowers, as well as the property left to her by her father, John Bekering.4
