John De Segrave, 3rd baron, summoned to parliament, from 29 November 1336, to 15 November, 1351. This nobleman appears, like his predecessors, a distinguished personage in the field, during his comparatively short career; for he did not live beyond the age of thirty-eight. In the wars of France and Scotland, temp. Edward III, he took an active part, and was more than once retained to serve the king by an indenture. His lordship made an illustrious alliance in marrying the Lady Margaret Plantagenet, dau., and eventually sole heiress of Thomas de Brotherton, Earl of Norfolk, Marshall of England, younger son of King Edward I; by this lady he left, at his decease, in 1353, an only dau.

“Thomas of Brotherton's daughter, Margaret, Duchess of Norfolk, after the death of her husband, Lord Segrave, married the famous Sir Walter Manny, Knight banneret, and K.G. And so celebrated a warrior that at the siege of Calais, both Edward the Third and his gallant son, the Black Prince, did not disdain to fight as simple knights under the banner of so renowned a captain, whose valour was only equalled by his humanity. The issue of this marriage was an only surviving daughter, Anne, who married John Hastings, second Earl of Pembroke, and their only son, John Hastings, third earl died without issue.”

“The Segraves were eminent in their day; John de Segrave, the first husband of Margaret Plantagenet, was son of Stephen de Segrave (ob.vit. Patris) and Alice Arundel, and grandson of John de Segrave, second Baron Segrave, who was much engaged in the Scottish wars of Edward the First, and acted as Marshal to the English host at the siege of Caerlave rock, for Roger de Bigod, who was ill at the time, and who afterwards resigned his rod of office:

'He went with his bannere Sir Jon the Segrave,
To do alle the service that longed the office tille,
And mayntayned alle the praise ther he sauh lawe and
skille.”
PETER OF LANGTOFT

“In memory of thus holding the Marshal's baton, Lord Segrave's banner was displayed from the battlements of the castle at its capture, A.D.1300. He was afterwards sent into Scotland at the head of 20,000 men, who were signally defeated at Roslin by an inferior force under John Comyn and Simon Frazer. When the immortal patriot, William Wallace became through Monteith's treachery the captive of Edward the First, Lord Segrave, as Grand Marshal, rode by the side of the dauntless Scot when he was conveyed from the house of William Delect, citizen in Fenchurch Street, to Westminster Hall for his trial.”

I found a description of the windows at the sides of the Great Hall of Hampden Court palace. See photo above

“These are thirteen in number, each consisting of eight lights; the space of what be the fourteenth window is occupied by the great south bay window. Six of them set forth the pedigrees of Henry VIII's six wives who all traced descent from Edward I, with their badges, arms, and legends.

The intermediate seven windows are occupied with the heraldic badges and “beasts” of Henry VIII—The Lion, the Portcullis, the Fleur-de-Lys, the Tudor Rose, the Red Dragon of the House of York, the White Greyhound of the House of Lancaster; and with the cyphers H.R., etc., and mottoes “Dieu et mon Droit,” and “Dne. Salvum Fac Reg.” ….

Third Window (South side). “Anne Bullen, 2nd wife of King Henry ye Eighth, her pedigree from King Edward ye First and his 2nd wife, Margaret of France.--King Edward ye 1st married 2nd, Margaret of France—Thomas, Earl of Norfolk, married Alice Halys—John, Lord Segrave, married Margaret de Brotherton—John, Lord Mowbray, married Elizabeth Segrave—Thomas, Duke of Norfolk, married Elizabeth Fitzalan—Syr Robert Howard married Margaret Mowbray—John, Duke of Norfolk, married Catherine Molyns—Thomas, Duke of Norfolk, married Elizabeth Tylney—Thomas, Earl of Wiltshire, married Elizabeth Howard—Anne Bullen, daughter of Thomas, Earl of Wiltshire.”



This lineage is the same as mine up to Elizabeth FitzAlan.

In the Inquisition taken at Chepstow 12th February 46 Edward III (1371-2), on the death of Walter de Manny, Chivaler, deceased, it was found that on the day of his death he held the castle and lordship of Strugull in the Marches of Wales, adjoining the county of Gloucester and the manor of Tudenham with the advowson of the Church of la Cante (Lancaut) as of the right and inheritance of Margaret his wife, still living, held of the King in capite by homage and fealty. And the jurors say the castle and lordship of Strugull are worth per annum in all issues L70, and the manor of Tudenham with the advowson of la Caute are worth per annum in all issues, according to the true value of the same, L50; and they say that the said Walter died 8th January last past and that Margaret his widow is the next heir and is aged forty years and more.

In another Inquisition taken 4th February, 46 Edward III, it is found that he died 15th January 45 Edward III (1371-2)
