Wife Eleanor - mentioned in will

Also married Eleanor Payne ( b: ? - d. 1601)
Daughter of Walter Payne,
Widow of James Audley
Before that widow of Anthony Hoogan

Humphrey's will, 4th August 1601. proved 16 November 1601. Possibly he died 21 Oct 1601.

According to these dates, Humphrey, Eleanor, Gregory and Edmond all died in 1601. What happened? Was it the plague?

Notes: Check out Gybbon Goddard record about Eleanor Payne. Her father apparently was standard bearer to King Henry VII and she was married first to Hoogan (Anthony (?), then Audley, then Humphrey Guybon. How old was she? Did she have any children to Humphrey. When were they married? When did Alice die? Was she wealthy - or beautiful ...?

Castle Acre

Castle Acre is a village and civil parish in the English county of Norfolk. The village is situated on the River Nar some 4 miles (6.4 km) north of the town of Swaffham. It is 15 miles (24 km) east of the town of King's Lynn, 33 miles (53 km) west of the city of Norwich, and 103 miles (166 km) from London.

The tranquil rural village in Norfolk, boasts an extraordinary wealth of history. It is a rare and complete survival of a Norman planned settlement, including a castle, village, parish church and one of the best-preserved monastic sites in England, Castle Acre Priory. All this was the work of a great Norman baronial family, the Warennes, mainly during the 11th and 12th centuries.

Castle Acre Castle was founded soon after the Battle of Hastings by the first William de Warenne, a close associate of William the Conqueror. It is a superb and well-preserved example of a motte-and-bailey castle, and remains one of the most impressive Norman earthworks in the country.

The Bailey Gate

The Bailey Gate is one of two stone gatehouses added to the settlement's massive earthwork defences in about 1200. The main road into the village still runs between its towers. Read more about the history of the castle and Bailey Gate.
