I was wondering where Robert Knollys was - I see you’ve added him. Do you have a reference we can use as a biography in the profile? I’ll look also.

Sir Robert (d 1521) was the son of Robert Knollys and Elizabeth Troutbeck, paternal grandson of Sir Richard Knollys and Margaret D'Oyley, and maternal grandson of Sir John Troutbeck and Margaret Hulse.

Robert and Elizabeth reputedly had two daughters: Anne, who married Henry Frowick, and Elizabeth who married James Stracheley. [5] There are no sources that suggest they were the parents of Robert Knollys who resided at Rotherfield Greys, Oxfordshire.

The date of Robert's death is not known for he did not leave a will and on the memorial inscription there is left a blank, suggesting that Robert's wife died before him. A translation of the inscription (in Latin) reads

Here lie Robert Knolles, esquire, who died [blank] day of the month [blank] the year of our Lord one thousand four hundred [blank] and Elizabeth his wife, who died the 28th day of the month of November, the year of our Lord four hundred and fifty eight : and their sons ; God have mercy on their souls. Amen[5]

Robert died with no living male heirs [14] and the North Mimms manor went to his daughters Ann and Elizabeth and their respective husbands Henry Frowyck and James Stracheley. [11]
