Margaret Mundy of Markeaton, who married firstly Nicholas Jennings, a member of the Worshipful Company of Skinners and a Sheriff and Alderman of the City of London; secondly, as his third wife, Edmund Howard, Lord Deputy of Calais, younger son of the Duke of Norfolk and therefore became stepmother to Queen Katherine Howard, fifth wife of King Henry VIII by whom she had no children; and thirdly Henry Mannox. Although Steinman conjectured that Margaret Mundy's third husband was the Henry Mannox, executed in 1541, who had been music master to Katherine Howard in her youth, and had been involved in sexual indiscretions with her which later contributed to her downfall,[15] Bindoff established that Margaret Mundy's third husband, Henry Mannox, made his will on 18 March 1564, in which he disinherited both Margaret and his son.[16] Margaret (née Mundy) was buried at Streatham, Surrey, on 22 January 1565.[17][6]

(fn. 187) In 1448 Bernard Jenyn or Jenings was summoned to the court (fn. 188) to do fealty, probably for Vann, for in 1476 John Hill and John Mellersh, probably trustees, enfeoffed Bernard Jenings of 'land in the manor of Vann' in tail male. John son of Bernard succeeded to it at his father's death, (fn. 189) and his son Nicholas is said to have settled the manor on his wife Margaret for life, with remainder to their son Bernard.

Margaret's third husband, Henry Mannock, held in right of his wife in 1548. (fn. 190) He died in 1563, having quarrelled with his wife, to whom he left nothing in his will. (fn. 191)

In 1564 Margaret brought a suit against Ralph, great-nephew of John Jenings, who had entered upon the manor after the death of Bernard. (fn. 192) Ralph Jenings held it, (fn. 193) and was succeeded by his son Thomas, who sold it to Thomas Cowper in 1590.
