Wyndham Hugh Archibald, A Family History, 1410-1688: The Wyndhams of Norfolk and Somerset (London, Oxford Univ. Press, 1939.), p. 3, states:

About 1439, John Wyndham "married Margery, daughter of Sir Robert Clifton of Buckenham Castle, and widow of Sir Edward Hastings, who, long before his death, had wasted all his substance in vain efforts to prove his right to the Barony of Hastings, and so to carry the spurs at the coronation of Henry V. The alliance was in every way propitious for John, for through it he became related to the de la Poles, the Howards, the de Veres, and the Scales; Margery being a cousin of William de la Pole, 1st Duke of Suffolk, of John, 1st Howard Duke of Norfolk, of John, 12th Earl of Oxford, and of Thomas, 7th Baron Scales."
