Notes

From Additional Royal Descent for Anne Maulever & Richard Saltonstall 2008

"This is a muddle-up on the part of Cahiers. William Brown, in his thorough 1902 article on the Mauleverers [YAJ Vol. 16], gives a detailed pedigree of the family, starting with Robert Mauleverer in the beginning of the 14th century, and ending with Thomas Mauleverer (1718-1785). The parents of Sir William Mauleverer of Wothersome (born by 1471; died 10 August 1551) were Robert Mauleverer of Wothersome (died 10 March 1496) and his wife Joan, daughter of Sir Henry Vavasour of Hazlewood & Joan Gascoigne. This is proven by Robert's IPM, taken at York Castle 24 Oct. 1501, in which his heir was returned as his son William, age 30 and upwards."
"Cahiers is correct about Sir William's second wife Joan Strangways. She was the daughter of Sir James Strangways of West Harsley (d. 16 Dec. 1521) and Alice Scrope of Masham. Joan married 1st at West
Harsley (licence 20 January) 1489, John Bigod of Settrington and Bainton, who died by 1515. She married 2nd at Wothersome (licence 7 November) 1522, Sir William Mauleverer. In the spring of 1523-4 she and Sir William had to get a Papal dispensation to legalize their marriage as they were related in the third and fourth degrees, which is further proof of Sir William's descent from Eleanor Strangways ...."
