Elizabeth Peshall

From page 335 of Collections for a History of Staffordshire: Vol. I By William Salt Archaeological Society

This Sir John de Weston was twice married, first to Isabella de Bromley, sister to Mr. Stephen de Bromley, afterwards Rector of Blymhill, which Isabella died in 1317, having bequeathed her body to be buried in the Church of St. Andrew at Weston. By her he had an elder son, Thomas de Weston, and several daughters, who eventually became co-heirs to the Weston estate.
Sir John married 2ndly Isolda, daughter of his cousin William de Newton, by whom he had three sons, John, Robert, and William, and two daughters, Alice and Agnes. Sir John de Weston was living in 20 Edw. III but deceased before May 1349, when his son, Thomas de Weston, was in possession of the Manor of Weston under Liziard.
Thomas de Weston, Lord of Weston under Lusyerd (as it was then written), as patron of the Church of Blymhill for that turn, presented Mr. Stephen de Bromley,chaplain,whowas admitted and instituted in August, 1349. ... Thomas de Weston must have died soon afterwards, leaving an only son, Robert, who died in the following year, when the said Robert's aunts, the sisters of the whole blood to Thomas de Weston, succeeded to the inheritance.
These ladies were Elizabeth, who first married Sir John de Whyston, and 2ndly Sir Adam de Peshale, by both of whom she had issue; Helen, wife of William de Trumwyn; and Isolda, wife of Thomas le Champion. Erdeswick speaks of two others, namely, Joan, wife of William de Burgh and Ann. The Manor of Weston was certainly divided into five equal parts, so that the natural inference is that there were five such sisters and co-heirs; but I find no mention of either Joan* or Ann in the several settlements of lands which were made by Sir John de Weston on his younger children, nor do I meet with any evidence whatever of their having held any portion of the Weston inheritance; and I am disposed to think that there were but three such sisters only who survived their nephew Robert, or whose issue had any share of his lands.

From PESHALE, Sir Adam (d.1419), of Peshale and Shifnal, Salop, and Weston-under-Lizard, Staffs.

.... Peshales high standing in the locality owed much to his substantial landed holdings, accumulated over the years through three profitable marriages, coupled with the same aggressive determination to keep hold of properties to which he had little right in law as had been shown by his late father. He began life with very little, apparently inheriting none of the family holdings apart from Peshale itself (where he had a private oratory),5 but this state of affairs did not long continue. Through his early first marriage, to Elizabeth Weston, he acquired a portion of the manor of Weston-under-Lizard, to which he added substantially over the years. The history of the devolution of the five shares of the manor (as divided up on the death of Elizabeths father) presents many difficulties, but it is clear that all five parts came ultimately to Peshale or his descendants as a result of a deliberate policy on his part to reunite the manor. The many and complex transactions involved in his scheme would be tedious to relate: suffice it to say that the Whiston share was part of his wife inheritance; the Foljambe share, held by his wife daughter-in-law, Margaret Trussell, widow of Nicholas Whiston and by 1363 married to Sir Fulk Pembridge*, was first leased to Peshale and then formally relinquished to him by the next heir, John Giffard of Chillington, in exchange for lands elsewhere; the Champion and Fouleshurst shares he purchased in reversion, and the Trumwyn share was leased to him for life by the Pembridges. By the time of his death all but the last mentioned fifth were held by him in fee simple. ....

I will now speak of Isolda le Champion's share.
In June, 1350, the said Isolda, calling herself daughter of Sir John de Westou, Knight, gives to Stephen de Bromley, parson of the church of Blumenhull, all her purparty of the manors of Weston, Newton, and Blemenhull, together with all her purparty of all lands, tenements, &c., in Stretton, Admundeston, Great and Little Heywood, &c., which purparties had descended to her by hereditary succession after the death of Robert, sou of Thomas, her brother, one of whose heirs she is.1 In July of the same year the said Stephen de Bromley gives to Thomas le Champion and Isolda, daughter of John de Weston, his wife, the fifth part of the manors of Weston and Newton, and all his part of the manor of Blumenhull, and of all his lands and tenements, &c., in Stretton, Admendeston, Magna Haywode, and Parva Heywood, which he had of the gift of the said Isolda, to have and to hold to the said Thomas and Isolda, and the heirs of their bodies, and for default of such heirs, to the heirs of Isolda, with remainder to her sister, Elizabeth, and the heirs of her body, with remainder to William, son of William Trumwyn, Knight, and the heirs of his body, with remainder to the said Stephen and his heirs for ever. Dated at Blumenhull on the Wedesday next before the Feast of St. Margaret the Virgin, 24 Edw. III. (July 18, 1350).*

From page 344 of Collections for a History of Staffordshire, Volume 1

Thomas le Champion was living.and had some interest at Weston in 1358. According to a Pedigree of the Champions, written on the first page of Huntbache's MS., vol. II., this Thomas le Champion, of Little Sardon, and Isolda de Weston, his wife, both died without issue, and his sisters, Matilda, wife of [Henry] Bentley, Catherine, wife of Geoffrey Congreve, and Isolda, wife of Roger Congreve, became his co-heirs, which last Isolda also died without issue.
If it had not been for this assertion from so high an authority, and the unanimous consent of all the Pedigrees of the Champions and Congreves that I have seen, I should have supposed, from the fact of some of these ladies having an interest at Weston, that they were the daughters of Thomas le Champion, by Isolda de Weston, rather than his sisters. It is possible that they may have acquired this interest by settlement. But, however this may be, I find that in 40 Edw. III. (1366) Henry de Jus,' and Maude his wife, (who was probably identical with Matilda de Bentley,) and Geoffrey de Congreve, and Catherine his wife, concede to Adam de Peshall all their lands and tenements, with all their appurtenances, which they have in the fee of Weston-under-Luzeyerd, to have and to hold to the said Adam, for the term of his life, the reserved rent being 6s. of gold or silver.'

9 Harl. MS., 5816. The deed of conveyance has three seals attached to it, one apparently for Geoffrey and Catherine, and two for Henry and Maude, placed one below the other, and the lower one has the impression of the Weston Eagle. I suppose this purchase to have been made by Adam de Peshale immediately after the death of his wife, Elizabeth de W'eston, who is said to have died in 1366; but before the date of the deed which follows in the text he had been married to another wife, Elizabeth ap Rys, whose son by a former marriage is placed in remainder to the •state purchased. 'Harl . MS., 5816.
