Sir Thomas Waldegrave, Kt.

See here for the family of Sir Thomas Waldegrave from various family wills; http://www.oxford-shakespeare.com/Probate/PROB_11-30-620.pdf

An eminent and distinguished soldier, who received the honour of knighthood for his valour at Towton Field, 20th March 1461. He married Elizabeth, eldest daughter and coheir of Sir John Fray, Kt., Lord Chief Baron of the Exchequer, by Agnes his wife, daughter of John Danvers, Esq., of Banbury, which lady subsequently became the second wife of Sir John Say, Kt., the eminent Speaker of the House of Commons in the 1st of Edward IV. By this lady, Sir Thomas Waldegrave had several children, of whom Edward Waldegrave, Esq., married Elizabeth, daughter and coheir of John Cheney, Esq., a branch of the family of Sir John Cheney, Speaker of the House of Commons in 1406.

It would afford us much pleasure if we could find space for more ample details respecting the very eminent descendants of the Speaker, who flourished so conspicuously in the history of this country in every subsequent age but such a course would be a departure from the plan we laid down for our guidance and to which we must reluctantly adhere. The descendants of this gallant knight formed matrimonial connections with the families of Rochester, Neville (for the second time in the Speaker's or Abergavenny branch), Jerningham, Lovel, Englefield, and Churchill.
