He married ist the daughter and heir of John Walworth, and 2ndly Anne, daughter and heir of Robert Home, by Margaret, daughter and coheir of John, Marquis Montague. The alliance brought a number of quarterings to the Framlingham shield, for this Marquis Montague was a Nevill, 3rd son of Richard Nevill, Earl of Salisbury, and Alice his wife, sole daughter and heir of Thomas de Montacute, who had married one of the daughters and coheirs of Thomas Holland, Earl of Kent, the son of Thomas de Holland, K.G., summoned to Parliament as Baron Holland in 1353, and Joan Plantagenet, called the " Fair Maid of Kent," the daughter of Edmund Plantagenet, surnamed de Wodstocke, Earl of Kent, the son of Edward I. by his 2nd wife Margaret, sister of Philip the Fair, of France.

Francis Framlingham was the son of Sir James Framlingham (d.1519) by an illegitimate daughter of Margaret Neville, widow of Sir John Mortimer, and divorced wife of Charles Brandon (d. 22 August 1545), Duke of Suffolk. See ‘Excursions 1992’, Suffolk Institute, p. 109, available as a pdf file online:

At the end of the 14th century [the manor of Crow’s Hall] was acquired by the Framlingham family, who rose to prominence in the early 16th century through kinship with Henry VIII's favourite, Charles Brandon, Duke of Suffolk. Like his royal master, Brandon had a chequered marital history, and Sir James Framlingham married the daughter of one of Brandon's ex-wives. Sir James's son, Francis, died at the siege of Boulogne, 1544, leaving an under-age heir, Sir Charles, the last male member of the family . . . .

Notes

“Debenham, Suffolk, England - One-Place Study: Crow’s Hall.” < link >

It is known that about the middle of the 14th Century one John Crowe, a Gentleman from Lowestoft, acquired the property and built a large house. It appears that about 1420 Crowes Hall was acquired by Sir John Framlingham. He was succeeded by his son John who died in 1448 and by Sir James who died in 1519. It is not clear whether Sir James or his son Francis built the present house, but it is thought by some authorities that the latter is the more likely as a great deal of building in this style was done in Queen Elizabeth's reign.
