Roger Corbet

wikipedia: Richard had two brothers: Roger Corbet (c.1501-1538), the heir to Sir Robert's estates, and Richard Corbet (died 1566). Both were to be MPs. However, of the three brothers, only

Roger was provided for when Sir Robert died on 11 April 1513: aged about 12, he was to undergo a long wardship before coming into full possession of the Corbet estates in 1522.[2] Although he made generous provision for his four daughters, Sir Robert never even mentions

Richard and

Reginald,[3] 

The will dates from 1509, making it likely that the two younger sons were born after that date, so

Reginald was probably little more than an infant when his father died.

Both younger sons would have to look elsewhere for advancement.

For Richard this meant, initially the court,[4] while for Reginald it was the law.

Elizabeth Vernon (died 29 March 1563), daughter of Sir Henry Vernon of Haddon Hall and Tong and Anne Talbot, daughter of John Talbot, Second Earl of Shrewsbury. Elizabeth had close connections to families powerful in the region and nationally. Her father had been treasurer to Arthur Tudor, the Prince of Wales. The Talbots had vast estates in western and northern England.
