He was a close associate of the Earl, and is said to have married the Earl's illegitimate daughter, Katherine. ==Family== Robert Broughton was the son of John Broughton (d.1479) of Denston, and Anne Denston (d.1481), daughter and heir of John Denston (d.1473) by Katherine Clopton, daughter of Sir William Clopton (d.1446) of Long Melford.
