Hello all! Just me rambling on about inconsequential issues as usual . . .
Does anyone want to help me with this genealogical adventure? I want to try to trace the Plantagenet line of Isabella, sister of Richard, Duke of York (father of Edward IV) and the lines of the children of Duke Richard (Edward excluded). I would like to trace them to, say, the beginning of James I's reign.
Let's start with Isabella (1409-1484).
She married
Henry Bourchier, Earl of Essex (1409-1483). These were their children (not including those who died young):
1. William, Viscount Bourchier (1427-1483). He married Anne Woodville, siste of Queen Elizabeth.
2. Henry Bourchier (d. 1462). He married Elizabeth Scales, Baroness Scales - did she later marry Antony Woodville??
3. Humphrey Bourchier, Lord Bourchier of Cromwell (born before 1443, died 1471). He married Joan Stanhope.
4. John Bourchier (d. between 1485-1494). He married Elizabeth, Baroness Ferrers.
5. Thomas Bourchier (d. 1492). He married Isabella Barre.
William's Children:
1. Cecily - married John Devereux, Lord Ferrers (a relative of her aunt, Elizabeth Ferrers?) and had one son: Walter Devereux, Viscount Hertford - was he an ancestor of Essex, Elizabeth I's favourite?
2. Henry Bourchier, Earl of Essex (1491-1539). He had no legitimate children, but his natural daughter Anne had the style Baroness Bourchier. She married William Parr, brother of Queen Katherine Parr.
I can't find any info on any more of Isabella's grandchildren - any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.
