GATEWAY TO THE CONSTABLE FAMILY OF EAST YORKSHIRE

Sir Robert Constable 1423-1488

http://freespace.virgin.net/owston.tj/constab.htm

Sir Robert Constable MP is an interesting character. The first member of his family to come to real National prominence. He was heavily involved in some of the events of the Wars of the Roses, including being at the Battle of Bosworth Field in 1485. Many of the later Constable family descend from him and from them many of the numerous people descended from Yorkshire Aristocracy. He is an ancestor of Timothy J. Owston, Queen Elizabeth II, Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother, HH The Aga Khan, (pdf) Diana Princess of Wales, The Duchess of York, The Duchess of Kent, Lord Habgood, a previous Archbishop of York and many others.

Although Sir Robert Constable is a Yorkshireman, he had inherited lands in Lincolnshire from his great-uncle Thomas Cumberworth who had died in 1451, so he can be described as being of Somersby, Lincolnshire and Flamborough, East Yorkshire. Sir Robert had also inherited land in Lubesthorpe, Leicester from his father who had inherited it from his Zouche ancestors. He was elected by the relatively few voters of the County of Lincolnshire as its MP in 1459 and later he was MP for Yorkshire in 1478.

Robert was born at Holme on Spalding Moor in the East Riding of Yorkshire on Easter day (4th April) 1423, the eldest son and heir of Sir Robert Constable of Flamborough and Holme on Spalding Moor (died 1441), by Agnes daughter of the Great Judge Sir William Gascoigne of Gawthorpe (died 1419) in Yorkshire, Chief Justice (see the excellent Alabaster memorial at Harewood Church) and his second wife Joan Pickering. The family had lived at Holme on Spalding Moor for generations, having inherited land there some time ago. He was under age at the date of his father's death and remained a minor for three years. This Robert married Agnes daughter of Sir Roger Wentworth of North Elmsall and Nettlestead in Suffolk M.P. and his wife Margery Despencer, heiress of Nettlestead, widow of John Baron de Ros (died at the Siege or Battle of Baugé on 22 March 1421), Agnes survived him and died in 1496. Sir Philip Wentworth, a brother of Agnes Wentworth was killed at the Battle of Hexham in 1464 and was grandfather of Margery Wentworth (died 1550), wife of Sir John Seymour of Wolfe Hall, the parents of Queen Jane Seymour, Edward Seymour Duke of Somerset and Lord Thomas Seymour, the last husband of Queen Catherine Parr (died 1548).

Sir Robert Constable, who died in 1441, owned part of Lubesthorpe Manor in Leicester which he had inherited as a descendant of one of the heiresses of the Zouche family of that place. This was inherited by Sir Robert Constable (1423-1488) who still owned it in 1470 when in June he removed his interest in the property with a Quitclaim. He was probably trying to consolidate his family land interests in Yorkshire and Lincolnshire. In the previous Century the family were connected to William la Zouche, Archbishop of York who is now thought to come from the Lubesthorpe Branch of the family (see the Oxford Dictionary of Biography article about the Archbishop). Further information about the Constable inheritance will be entered on the Zouche page after finding references to documents referred to in the RCHM Rutland volume (1905).

Constable can be found as an elector in Yorkshire in 1442, 1447, 1449 and in 1450. He was also an elector in the City of Lincoln City electorate in 1450. He was increased his profile by also being found on the Yorkshire Commissions from 1444, and the array in December 1459. During the Sir John Fastolf's life he was keeper of Sir John's lands in Suffolk from 1448-1453. He was appointed a Justice of the Piece in the East Riding of Yorkshire from 16 June 1453 till his death. Sir Robert was summoned to appear before the Great Council for Yorkshire in April 1455, due to his Lancastrian sympathies. But by the 6th October he had been pardoned as being 'of Flamburgh' esq", On the 6 Oct, 1455 he took part in Lancastrian commissions and this lasted until May 1460. As this point he must have changed to the Yorkists as he was knighted between 25 June 1460 and 10 May 1461 by the Yorkists, and henceforth took part on all their commissions. His brother-in-law Sir Philip Wentworth remained Lancastrian and was attainted and executed in 1464 (see above). Sir Robert was probably a Percy retainer and present at the Battle of Heworth (suburb on the Northern side of York) between the Baronial families of Nevilles and the Percy on 24 August 1453.

Sir Robert Constable was Sheriff of Yorkshire (see Ormrod)., and according to one modern printed source Mayor of York**, 1461-2. His years as Sheriff in Yorkshire were 1478-9. He was also a Justice of the Peace for Lindsey 16 May 1461 to 7 Sep 1470; steward of all lands in Yorkshire. and Lincolnshire forfeited by the Earl of Northumberland and Lord Ros, in August 1461. About this time he had the grant of Hessle and Howden for life, though had to be pardoned 18 May 1462. He went to Scotland one of an embassy to Scotland in April 1464, and negotiating the truce with the Scots at Newcastle in October 1466. Sir Robert was the Sheriff of Lincolnshire in 1466 to 1467. he was further pardoned in 1468, February 1469 and on the 26th November 1471. The Readeption government put him on commissions and consequently Edward IV pardoned and employed him. Curiously and interestingly Robert was part-owner of a pirate ship in 1473 and thus ordered to pay compensation for its actions in attacking Scottish shipping. In December 1477 he was elected for Yorkshire in December in 1477, and on all Richard III's commissions. The King, Richard III, appointed Sir Robert Constable one of those to keep the border (with Scotland) in 1484; and pardoned him as of Flamborough, alias of Somerby, Lincolnshire. Sir Robert, a bit like a noble administratoral 'Vicar of Bray' retained his place on the Bench through every revolution and was in the end pardoned by the Tudors, in 16 Jan 1485/6. He ended his life a lot wealthier than any other Constable for generations and he was able to finance his sons foundation of new branches of his family. Unfortunately that whilst some descendants did very well for themselves and their families many others were to end up on the execution block in the next century. After the family problems with the Tudors his descendant Sir William Constable, Baronet, the last of the Flamborough Constables must have reflected on the irony when he signed the execution warrant of King Charles I. He died well before the Restoration of 1660, though the Stuarts did try and posthumously dishonour him.

Sir Robert Constable (oddly for a fifteenth century person of any rank we have a birth and death date for him) died on the 23 May 1488; when Marmaduke, aged 31 and more, was his son and heir; lands in Yorkshire and Lincolnshire. Actually Marmaduke was probably about ten years older as he was a witness in a York Diocesan Court Case in 1503 aged 57 (DC.CP.1503/3). Sir Robert was head of a powerful family. Sons included - Sir Marmaduke***, John, Dean of Lincoln, Sir Robert and Sir William. His daughters married Sir Thomas Metham, Sir William Eure, Sir Gervase Clifton (1483), Sir William Tyrwhitt, Sir Ralph Bigod, Sir William Scargyll and Sir Ralph Ryther. I have discounted the Dorothy who married a knight called Sir Legard Cholmley as I am not convinced that either existed.

• * Mayor of York - No other record of this found, so I am prepared to discount this.
  • * Marmaduke was the 'Little Sir Marmaduke' who faught at Flodden (1513) with his sons. He captained the left wing of the army in the battle and received personal thanks from Henry VIII. He has many descendants. There is some evidence that many of his sons and nephews were also at Flodden. Sir Marmaduke the head of the family thus leading a family group to the Scottish Campaign, indeed his nephew Marmaduke Constable of Cliffe remembered local men who had gone to the Scottish wars in his Will. There is a memorial to 'Little Sir Marmaduke' in Flamborough Church and the ruins of their house can be seen in a field a few yards away. He was himself High Sheriff of York 1480-1, 1488-9 and 1509-10, and his biography appears in Ormrod above. His son Robert was to be a leader of the disastrous 'Pilgrimage of Grace' in 1536.
• There is some evidence, in an article in the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography which refers to Joan Pickering Greystock Gascoigne's Will that her children were not by her Gascoigne husband and were from an earlier marriage. Indeed her Will is printed and an edited comment does make the simple point that her children do not have a surname given in the Will. But this is not referred to anywhere else as Sir Robert Constable is always listed as marrying Agnes the daughter of Sir William Gascoigne. Indeed, Sir Robert married Agnes Gascoigne and their eldest son was born in 1423, so they probably married at the latest in 1422.
