Maud de Holand, married Sir Thomas de Swynnerton, died 1361, Swynnerton, Staffordshire, son of Roger de Swynnerton and Matilda.

~The Visitation of Cheshire in the Year 1580, pp. 203, Sir Thomas, married to Maud daughter of Sir Robert Holland

~Richardson's Magna Carta Ancestry, p.722, married after 1331, Thomas de Swinnerton, Knight, 3rd Lord Swinnerton, of Swinnerton, Staffordshire, Great and Little Barrow, Cheshire, Sheriff of Shropshire and Staffordshie, Knight of the Shire for Swinnerton, third son of Roger de Swinnerton, Alstonefield, Quarnfor and Rushton Spencer Staffordshire, Keeper of the Tower of London, and his wife Maud, daughter of Thomas Haughton, Knight.

Sir Thomas and Maud de Holland had three sons, Sir Robert, 4th Lord Winnerton, William and Roger. Sir Thomas was with the King in the Battle of Crècy in 1346 and at the Siege of Calais in 1347. His brother died in 1349, and he succeeded as heir to the family lands. He died December 1361.

In June 1338, he was about to go overseas with the King, and he was in the King's service in 1340. On 13 April 1341, he was exempted from service at assizes etc. and from holding any office against his will. He was made the Sheriff of Salopshire and Staffordshire on 18 February 1342. On 8 June 1342, he was excheator of the same two counties as well as the marches of Wales adjacent to them. He returned to Staffordshire as a king of the shire from Parliament, and summoned to meet at Westminister on 28 April 1343.

He served the King overseas, and it is recorded that he was in the passage to La Hogue in 1346 and at the battle of Crecy, at Calais. He was taken prisoner in Scotland, and the King paid 100 pounds towards his ranson on 14 October 1357.

He is said to have married Maud and to have died in Dec 1361. Maud is described by Canon ridgeman [H. C. S., vol. vii, pt.2, pp. 40, 41] as the daughter of Sir Robert Holand, Lord of Holand of Yoxall, Staffordshire, and the sister of Thomas Holand, Earl of Kent.

Thomas married Maud de Holand, daughter of Sir Robert de Holand Knight, First lord of Upholland and Maud la Zouche. (Maud de Holand was born about 1310 in Upholland, Lancaster, England and died in 1361 in Lancashire, England .)

BARONY OF SWYNNERTON (III)
THOMAS (DE SWYNNERTON), LORD SWYNNERTON, brother and heir. In June 1338 he was about to go overseas with the King; and was there in the King's service in 1340. On 13 April 1341 he was exempted from service at assizes and from holding any office against his will; but on 18 February 1341/2 he was Sheriff of Salop and Staffs, and on 8 June, described as chivaler, escheator of Salop, Staffs, and the marches of Wales adjacent thereto. He was returned as knight of the shire for Staffs in the Parliament summoned to meet at Westminster 28 April 1343. In 1345 and again in 1347 payments to him are recorded for his stay with the King. In December 1345 the Sheriff of Staffs was ordered to take into the King's hand all his lands and goods. In 1346 he was with the King overseas, and in 1352 it is recorded that he had served in the King's retinue from the passage to La Hogue in 1346 and at the battle of Crecy, at Calais, and elsewhere. In 1347-49, as Sir Thomas de Swynnerton, knight, door-keeper of the king's hall, he was paid for the hangings provided for the hall. In 1350 he presented to the church of Swinnerton. In 1351 he was in the commission of the peace for Staffs. On 14 October 1357, the King gave 100 l. towards his ransom, he having been taken prisoner in Scotland; but in 1359 the King called upon the Scotch prisoners whom Thomas had taken to arrange for their ransom. In 1358 he proceeded as the King's proxy to France to receive the oaths of the manucaptors for the King's prisoners; and was apparently resident thereafter in the palace of the Savoy as one of the custodians of John, King of France. On 8 November 1360 he obtained an exemption from service at assizes and from holding public offices, in consideration of his long service. He is said to have married Maud (c), and to have died in December 1361. [Complete Peerage XII/1:587-8, (transcribed by Dave Utzinger)]

(c) Who is described by Canon Bridgeman as daughter of Sir Robert Holand (Lord Holand) of Yoxall, Staffs, and sister of Thomas Holand, Earl of Kent. There does not seem to be any record evidence of this marriage. A Maud, widow of Thomas de Swynnerton, whose 1st husband had been Sir John le Latimer (Lord Latimer), died 18 November 1360. Canon Bridgeman finds a difficulty in making this Maud the widow of Thomas de Swynnerton of Swinnerton, and it seems clear that, if she was, it must have been a 2nd marriage.

Note: Under John Latimer, CP VII:454 note (g) states that "This Thomas [de Swynnerton who married Maud, widwow of John le Latimer] was probably son of Richard, son of Roger de Swynnerton of Swynnerton."
------------------------------
Maud de Holand [daughter of Maud la Zouche and Sir Robert de Holand of Upholland, county Lancaster], married Sir Thomas de Swynnerton, died 1361, of Swynnerton, county Stafford, son of Roger de Swynnerton and Matilda. See note at end concerning this marriage. [Ancestral Roots, line 32-31]

Note concerning the marriage of Sir Thomas de Swynnerton and Maud de Holand (gen 31): the fact of this marriage has been questioned in the past as it appears to rest solely upon the statement in the Savage pedigree in the Visitation of Cheshire for 1580. Review of the printed sources shows that Robert de Holand and his wife Maud la Zouche did have a daughter named Maud who was betrothed as a child to John de Mowbray. After the order for the confiscation of the estates of John's father, John (then aged about 12), his mother Aline, and Maud, who was living with them, were taken on 26 February 1321/2 to the Tower of London to be received by the Constable of the Tower, then Roger de Swynnerton, father of Thomas. Following the imprisonment of Maud's father and the confiscation of his estates, the marriage of John was granted on 28 February 1326/7 to Henry, Earl of Lancaster, whose daughter Joan was then married to John de Mowbray, then fifteen years of age. When John came of age, he received a license to grant a life interest in two Mowbray manors to Maud, then free to marry. That Maud did marry Thomas de Swynnerton depends upon the sources for the article "Ancestry of Obadiah and Mary Bruen", TAG 26:12-25 (1950). In that article Donald Lines Jacobus cited the article by Rev. Canon Bridgeman, "An Account of the Family of Swynnerton of Swynnerton and Elsewhere in the County of Stafford", (Wm. Salt Soc, vol. VII pt. II, cit.), which shows that the widow of Thomas de Swynnerton was named Maud (or Matilda), and that there was formerly in Swynnerton Church an "effigy of a woman over whom is written, "Matidis de Swynnerton," and a shield giving the arms of Holand, viz: azure, semee of Fleurs-de-lys argent, a lion rampant guardant argent".

THOMAS DANYERS 1325-1349

[Ancestral Link: Harold William Miller, son of Edward Emerson Miller, son of Anna Hull (Miller), daughter of William Hull, son of Anna Hyde (Hull), daughter of Uriah Hyde, son of Ezra Hyde, son of William Hyde, son of Samuel Hyde, son of William Hyde, son of Robert Hyde, son of Jane Davenport (Hyde), daughter of Blanch Warburton (Davenport), daughter of John Warburton, son of Ellen Savage (Warburton), daughter of John Savage, son of John Savage, son of Margaret Danyers (Savage), daughter of Thomas Danyers.]

Grappenhall Church, Burial place of Thomas Danyers

Bio for Thomas Danyers
The only daughter of Clemence and William de Bagulegh, Isabel de Bagulegh, succeeded her parents as owner of the Cheadle manor, and married Sir Thomas Danyers. Danyers was rewarded for his efforts in the crusades through an annual payment from the King of 40 marks, as well as the gift of Lyme Hall. His daughter Margaret continued to receive payments after his death.

Early history of Cheadle
The Domesday Book provides the earliest mention of the area, where it is recorded as "Cedde", Celtic for "wood". Local archaeological finds include Bronze Age axes discovered in Cheadle. Evidence of Roman occupation includes coins and jewellery, which were discovered in 1972. The modern-day Cheadle Road was originally known as Street Lane, and may be of Roman origin. A stone cross dedicated to the Anglo-Saxon St Chad, discovered in 1873, indicates Anglo-Saxon activity. The cross was found in an area called "Chad Hill", on the banks of the Micker Brook near its confluence with the River Mersey; this area became "Chedle". Suggestions for the origin of the name include the words cedde, and leigh or leah, in Old English meaning "clearing", forming the modern day "Cheadle". "Holme" may have been derived from the Danish word for "water meadow" or "island in the fen".

Sir Knight and Isabel
Notes for Thomas II Danyers, Sir Knight of Bradley:
The elder daughter, Clemence (married to William de Bagylegh [or Bagulegh]) inherited the other (southern) half (technically overlord to her sister Agnes's share). The manor passed to their daughter Lady Isabel who married Sir Thomas Danyers (distinguished at the battle of Crecy in 1346), and then to their daughter Margaret. Through Clemence's grand-daughter (Margaret Danyers [who had 3 husbands - John Radcliffe, John Savage, and Piers Legh - and lived into her seventies!]) Chedle-Holme passed to the Savage family (John Savage, Margaret's son was knighted at Agincourt in 1415) and ten successive 'John Savages'. The fourth John Savage acceded in 1463 and married Katherine Stanley (sister of Lord Stanley, 1st earl of Derby). The 5th John Savage (of Savage Hall near School's Hill) commanded part of the Bosworth army (1485) for Henry Tudor (King Henry VII) died in 1492. John Savage 6th died in 1527, John Savage 7th died young. (In the mid 17th century the estate was acquired by the Moseley family and became known as Cheadle Moseley [and later Cheadle Hulme]).

Lyme Hall

Description of how Danyers came to own Lyme Park: The land now occupied by Lyme Park was granted to Sir Thomas Danyers in 1346 by Edward III, for his service to the Black Prince in the Battle of Crécy. On Sir Thomas's death the estate passed to his daughter, Margaret, who in 1388 married the first Piers Legh (Piers Legh I). Richard II favoured Piers and granted his family a coat of arms in 1397. However, Piers was executed two years later by Richard's rival for the throne, Henry Bolingbroke. The first record of a house on the site is in a manuscript folio dated 1465, but that house was demolished when construction of the present building began during the life of Piers Legh VII, in the middle of the 16th century. This house, by an unknown designer, was L-shaped in plan with east and north ranges; piecemeal additions were made to it during the 17th century. In the 1720s Giacomo Leoni, an architect from Venice, added a south range to the house creating a courtyard plan, and made other changes. While he retained some of its Elizabethan features, many of his changes were in a mixture of Palladian and Baroque styles. The estate was inherited in 1942 by Richard Legh, 3rd Baron Newton. In 1946 he gave Lyme Park to the National Trust. http://www.flickr.com/photos/34420991@N06/3354226345/

Danyers also Daniell
http://martinrealm.org/genealogy/danyers.htm
This family cannot be traced back further than the time of Henry III, when Robert Danyers (sometimes spelled Daniell) was lord of the manor of Bradley-in-Appleton in Cheshire. His son Robert Danyers had a son, Thomas Danyers, who married Margaret, daughter of Robert, Lord of Cheadle and Clifton. They had a younger son Augustine, who was living in 1337, and an elder son William Danyers of Bradley (alive in 1304, purchased the manor of Daresbury in 1291 from Henry de Norreys), who married Agnes Leigh, daughter of Thomas De Legh of West Hall, High Legh.

William and Agnes Danyers had four children: (1) William of Daresbury, see below; (2) Thomas of Bradley, see farther below; (3) Margery, married Henry Horsale of Lymme; and (4) a daughter who married Alexander De Waleton (Walton); all were evidently born in the 1280s.

William Danyers of Daresbury died in 1306, leaving a young wife (Agnes) and five very young children: (1) Sir John Danyers, see below; (2) Cicely, married Robert Stathum or Statham; (3) Agnes; (4) Margot; and (5) Henry.

Sir John Danyers married Ellen, and had a son William Danyers of Daresbury (died 1407), who married Clementia, daughter of Alan le Norreys of of Sutton and Daresbury and Mabell de Merton. She brought Daresbury, Sutton, Eccleston and Rainhill into the family. Since her husband's father was already called "of Daresbury," it could be that his ancestor William purchased only part of the manor. In any case, this William and Clementia were the parents of (1) William, whose descendants held the manor down until 1736, and (2) Ellen, who married Hugh Merbury.

Thomas Danyers of Bradley (died 1354), the second son of William and Agnes Leigh above, married first Margaret, daughter of Adam de Tabley of Bexton and his wife Beatrix, and second Joan Norris or Norreys. He was Sheriff of Cheshire 1351 (25 Edw III) and 1353 (27 Edw III) and held a large number of manors, including Bradley, Lymme, Russhton, Thelwall, Ughtrynton, Lostock and Hale. Thomas had at least three recorded bastard sons; and by Margaret he was the father of (1) Sir John of Grappenhall, see farther below; (2) Sir Thomas Danyers of Bradley, see below; (3) Augustine, who held Sworton in High Legh in 1337; (4) Alice, married Mathew de Mere; (5) Margaret, married John De Thelwallshaw; and (6) Joan. By Joan Norris, Thomas was the father of (7) Sir Thomas Daniell of Over Tabley (died 1383, has descendants, the Daniells of Tabley); (8) Henry; and (9) Richard, living in 1382.

Sir Thomas Danyers of Bradley (died 1354) fought in the Hundred Years' War; his tomb in the church at Grappenhall (photo above) is marked with this plaque:

"In memory of Sir Thomas Danyers of Bradley, within Appleton, who died AD MCCCLIV. He was present at the Battle of Crescy, the XXVth day of May, AD MCCCXLVI, and there rescued the Standard of Edward the Black Prince, from the hands of the enemy, and made prisoner of the Comte de Tankerville, Chamberlain to the King of France. To preserve the memory of a gallant soldier, this monument was placed here, AD MDCCCCLXXVI (Arms, Ar, 5 fusils in pale, Sa)"

Sir Thomas married Isabel Baggiley (died 1365), daughter of William Baggiley and Clemence. They had only one child, Margaret, who married three times: first John Ratcliffe or Radcliffe, no children; second John Savage of Clifton, one son, many descendants, including her granddaughter Helen who is a Warburton ancestor; and third Sir Piers Leigh of Lyme; their daughter Margaret is an Assheton ancestor.

Sir John Danyers of Grappenhall, the elder son of Thomas (above), fought in Gascony in the 1360s. He married (1) Joan Boydell (died 1376), daughter of Sir William Boydell of Dodleston; they had two daughters: (1) Margaret, died in her teens; and (2) Nicola, who inherited Dodleston and married Geoffrey Warburton in 1358 (see Warburton). Sir John had no children by his second wife Alice.

Married, Widowed; Abducted, Married, Widowed; Married
First Husband:
Humphrey (fitz Richard) PESHALL died young, having first married MATILDA de SWYNNERTON, by whom he had a son Richard PESHALL.
MATILDA was the daughter of Sir Robert de SWYNNERTON, of SWYNNERTON, county Stafford, Knight, by his first wife Elizabeth, daughter of Sir Nicholas de BECK, and heiress of Hopton and Tean, upon whose marriage with Sir Robert, the BECK estates and most of the SWYNNERTON estates were settled upon the issue of their two bodies.

On the death of her mother, between 1369 and 1375, MATILDA (either by herself or by her guardians) entered into possession of Hopton and Tean. I suppose her to have been married in her early years to Humphrey PESHALL, and that he died in or before 1388, leaving her still a minor and in the custody of his grandfather Richard de PESHALL at Chetwynd, where she was apparently living in 1388, though her father Sir Robert de SWYNNERTON was still alive.

The following story will in some measure account for the long lawsuit which followed between the PESHALLs and SAVAGEs for possession of her estates. These were days of great licence, and during the reign of King Richard II., neither person nor property were secure from violence and rapine.

Second Husband:
While MATILDA was thus residing at Chetwynd, in the year 1388, she was forcibly abducted by Sir John de IPSTONES and married to his son William, after signing away her estates to Sir John, who died seised of Hopton and Tean in 1394.

This is based upon the record of certain pleadings in a suit, or rather two suits, prosecuted at the Stafford Assizes in 2 to 4 Henry IV., which give a fair pretext for the retention of the heiress's estates by the PESHALLs.

Third Husband:
In one of these suits Elizabeth, who had been the wife of Richard de PESHALL, is sued by John SAVAGE and MATILDA his wife for land in Hopton, Knighton, and Tillington, in Staffordshire. It appeared from the statements of the two parties that Sir Nicholas de BECK, Knight, lord of Tene and Hopton, left issue by Joanna his wife an only daughter and heiress Elizabeth, whose daughter and heiress was MATILDA (or Maud), the plaintiff in the suit; that in 12 Richard II. (1388), John de IPSTONES took MATILDA by force to IPSTONES and imprisoned her there until she granted Hopton to him; that he afterwards married her to his son William de IPSTONES, who entered into possession of Hopton; and that the said Elizabeth, who had been the wife of Richard (de PESHALL), and was mother of William, was endowed thereof.

William had issue Christiana and Alice, and after his death the said MATILDA came to his daughters and sought to be re-enfeoffed of the said manor of Hopton, and on their refusal, the said MATILDA entered the manor and received the rents until she was dispossessed by force by the said Elizabeth, who had been the wife of Richard.

The jury find for MATILDA, with damages of 40 marks.

In the other suit
John SAVAGE and MATILDA his wife sue John de Arderne, Knight, Christiana, daughter of William de IPSTONES, and Alice her sister, and others named, for unjustly disseising them of the manor of Teyne and 50 marks of rent in Draycote. The jury give the same account of the transaction as before; and it further appears from this suit that Elizabeth the mother of MATILDA had married Sir Robert de SWYNNERTON, Knight, by whom she had the said MATILDA her daughter and heir.

The jury state in the former suit that Sir Nicholas de BECK, Knight, was seized of Tene and the reversion of Hopton and other lands in Knyghton and Tillington, and granted the reversion of Hopton, which Mary, the mother of Nicholas, held for term of life of the inheritance of the said Nicholas, to John de BECK, Rector of the Church of Chekkeleye, and to the heirs of John, and John de BECK by an indenture granted the said manor to Mary for life, and after her death to revert to Nicholas and Joan his wife and the heirs of their bodies.

Nicholas and Joan entered into possession, and had issue Elizabeth; and Nicholas and Joan died, and Elizabeth entered into possession, and had issue the said MATILDA who sues; and Elizabeth died, and MATILDA entered into possession as heir, and was seised thereof until Sir John de IPSTONES, Knight, on the day of the Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary, 21 Richard II. (8th December, 1388), took her by force from Chetwynd to the vill of IPSTONES, and there imprisoned her until he had extorted from her a grant of the said manor of Hopton and the other lands named, to the said John de IPSTONES and his heirs, on condition that the said John and his heirs should reenfeoff her of the said manor of Hopton, and John had issue one William, who married the said MATILDA; and John died, and after his death William entered into possession of the said manor of Hopton, and endowed therein the said Elizabeth who had been wife of Richard and was mother of the said William; and the said William had issue Christiana and Alice (as before).

Hence it appears that MATILDA or Maud, the plaintiff in the said suits, was the daughter of Sir Robert de SWYNNERTON by his wife Elizabeth de BECK, and that William de IPSTONES, her former husband (by whom she had two daughters Christiana and Alice), was the son of Sir John de IPSTONES by Elizabeth his wife, the defendant in one of the suits.

His wife Elizabeth was the daughter and heiress of Thomas, son and heir apparent of Sir Robert Corbet, of Wattlesburgh and Moreton Corbet, Knight. She was born about 1357, and married to Sir John de IPSTONES in or before the year 1372. Sir John was killed in a family quarrel on 23rd February, 1394, being at that time Knight of the Shire for the county of Stafford. His widow was afterwards re-married to Richard de PESHALE, and again a widow in 2 Henry IV. (1400-1).

Her son Sir William de IPSTONES, who was born in February, 1373, died in October, 1399, leaving Christiana and Alice, his daughters and co-heirs, aged six and three years respectively. MATILDA his widow was afterwards re-married to John, son of Sir John SAVAGE, who is joined with her in these suits.

Matilda de Swynnerton
Matilda de Swynnerton, by virtue of the above mentioned settlement, not only succeeded to her mother's inheritance, Hpton and Tene and other lands and tenements in Staffordshire, but laid claim to those parts of her father's estates which had belonged to Hugh le Despenser in Stafford and Chester. After she entered on her inheritance she married 1st Humphrey de Pershale, by whom she had a son, Richard de Pershale, her rightful heir. After his death, by 1338, she resided in the house of his grandfather, Sir Richard Pershale, Lord of Chetwynd, from whence she was forcibly abducted by Sir John Ipstone, Knight, and subsequently married to his son, William de Ipstone, died October 1399, by whom she had two daughters: Christiana and Alice. She married 3rd Sir John Savage, of Clifton, Knight. Her descent and the story of her abduction are well told in the pleadings at stafford Assizes a few years later, in two seperate suits. One suit of John Savage and Matilda, his wife, sued Elizabeth, who had been the wife of Richard Pershale ( Matilda's son by her first husband ) for lands in Hopton knighton and Tillington in Co. Stafford, and in the other suit several others and the guardians of her two daughters by Ipstone, for unjustly disseising them of the Manor of Tene and 50 marks of rent in Draycote. In both cases the jury found a verdict for Matilda, with damages. This Sir John de Ipstones, who abducted Matilda and married her to his son William, died in 1393/4, and as he was killed by one Roger de Swynnerrton, we may infer that his death was accomplished as an act of vengeance for his treatment of Matilda.

Lyme Park

Marriages - Three
After the death of Sir Thomas D'Anyers, the wardship of his daughter and heiress (Margaret) was given to Sir John de Radcliffe, who after an ecclesiastical enquiry regarding his rights married her. Through her mother, Isabel be Bagguley, Margaret was heiress of Clemency de Cheadle. The Cheadles were a branch of the Duttons, and Sir John's mother was the widow of Sir Hugh Dutton when she married his father. Sir John died without issue, and Lady Margaret afterwards was married to Sir John Savage, whose descendants succeeded to the Cheadle estates. Six years later she was again a widow and she was married to a third husband in Sir Piers de Legh, younger son of Robert de Legh of Adlington.

Link between major Cheshire Families
Ward ley, after the death of Roger Downes, was the inheritance of his sister Penelope. She was the wife of a man distinguished alike by his talents and his vices. Richard Savage, fourth Earl Rivers, was the representative of an ancient Cheshire family, whose original seat was at Frodsham, and who afterwards gave their name to Rock Savage, near Clifton.The Leighs of Lyme, the Leghs of Ridge, and the Savages of Clifton all claim a common ancestress in Margaret Daniers, who married successively Sir John Radcliffe, John Savage, and Piers Legh of Maxfield. Thomas Savage, the Archbishop of York, who died in 1508, belonged to this family, which intermarried with the Buttons, Booths, Ley- cesters, Mainwarings, Stanleys, Traffords, and other great families. A brother of the archbishop, Sir John Savage, was a follower of the Earl of Richmond, and placed the crown on that noble's head after the battle of Bosworth, which gave Henry VII. to the English throne. The son of this Sir John was another Sir John, who for twenty-four years was Sheriff of Worcestershire. One of his daughters was married to a John Hampden of Hampden. Another Sir John Savage was the nineteenth person who was admitted to the new order of baronets. He was Mayor and Sheriff of Chester in 1607, and died in 1614. His son, Sir Thomas Savage, married the daughter of Lord D'Arcy, who in 1621 was created Viscount Colchester, and in 1626 advanced to be Earl Rivers, with remainder to his son-in-law, Sir Thomas Savage, who was created Viscount Savage two days after the grant of a peerage to his wife's father. The third Earl Rivers married a natural daughter of Scrope, Earl of Sunderland; and his second son, Richard, succeeded to the title on the death of his father, I4th September, 1694. Before that date he was resident in this district, or at all events he possessed property, for in an old rate book there is an entry of " Richard Savage, Lord Viscount Colchester, for part of the Demesne of Barton."
