A connection to the de Beauchamp family
In some respects it was fortunate that Thomas Wright did not have access to the Internet and Wikipedia.
That being said, the references that he quotes are in most cases pretty informative.
When Thomas makes statements such as:
"
Roger de Mowbray, the son of Maud de Mowbray (daughter of William de Beauchamp), held lands here in 1281, of the earl of Oxford; his successor was his son John (de Mowbray) and John de Steyngreve, on his death in 1295, also had possessions here.
Isabel, his only daughter, was married to Simon de Pateshull, who, in her right, held these lands at the
time of his death, in 1296.
