'Sir Edmund Cokayne'

Nicholas Longford IV was born around 1373 and was termed a knight at his father’s inquisition post mortem, indicating he was already receiving an income giving him knightly status (£40 p.a). It is chronologically impossible that he was married to Joan Warren as given in the Herald’s Visitations, for Joan’s father was not born until 139466. Nicholas’ widow’s name was Alice, her family unknown, but all the clues as the mother of Ralph, Nicholas’ son and heir, point to her being a daughter of Sir Edmund Cokayne of Ashbourne and Elizabeth Herthill67. A close affinity emerged between the Longfords, Cokaynes and Okeovers, from the mid 1380s, which may pinpoint the time of a marriage contract. Thomas Okeover, whose mother was sister of Sir John Cokayne68, was with Ralph when they abducted his grandmother, Margery, from her husband, and Sir Ralph Shirley of Ettington, husband of Alice Cokayne, was Ralph’s feoffee in the 1420s. Evidence of a Longford/Cokayne marriage is further intimated by the introduction of the names Edmund, Elizabeth and George (the name of one of Sir Edmund’s sons) into the Longford family, but of particular significance is the appearance of the Longford arms on the tomb of Sir Edmund Cokayne, along with others representing his ancestry and children’s alliances69. This marriage would have been politically advantageous within the Lancastrian fraternity as Sir John Cokayne. was Gaunt’s seneschal and one of the executors of his will in 1399 (Raine, 1836, p.234).
