Roger Corbet (died 1430) was an English soldier, politician and landowner. He was a client of Thomas FitzAlan, 12th Earl of Arundel and was implicated in the disorder that accompanied Arundel's rule in Shropshire. He probably fought at the Battle of Agincourt. After the untimely death of his patron, he became a successful municipal politician at Shrewsbury and represented Shrewsbury twice and Shropshire once in the House of Commons of England. ==Background and early life== Roger Corbet was the younger brother of Robert Corbet (1383–1420)〔Roskell et al, (CORBET, Roger (d.1430), of Shrewsbury and 'Culseys', Salop ) – Author: L. S. Woodger〕〔Roskell et al, (CORBET, Robert (1383–1420), of Moreton Corbet, Salop. ) – Author: L. S. Woodger〕 and was frequently associated with him. However, Roger's very existence is omitted by several sources. He does not figure in the Corbet family pedigrees in the heraldic visitations of Shropshire〔(Grazebrook and Rylands, p.135 )〕 Augusta Corbet, the family historian, also gives a pedigree of the Corbets of Moreton Corbet which omits him.〔(Corbet, facing p.368 )〕 She quotes extensive complaints to the 1415 parliament,〔(Corbet, p.246f )〕 in the original Anglo-Norman language, in which numerous misdeeds are listed, but insists that they refer to Robert's younger son of the same name, who was probably unborn, at most an infant, at that time. It is with his this nephew that he is generally confused.〔Roskell et al, (CORBET, Roger (d.1430), of Shrewsbury and 'Culseys', Salop – footnote 1 ) – Author: L. S. Woodger〕 Roger therefore had the same background as Robert, his brother. His parents were: : *Sir Roger Corbet of Moreton Corbet. The Corbet family had been important in the Welsh Marches since the Norman Conquest.〔(Grazebrook and Rylands, p.133 )〕 The Moreton Corbet branch of the family had become the most important in Shropshire after the Corbet line at Caus Castle was replaced in 1347 by Ralph de Stafford, 1st Earl of Stafford,〔Baugh and Elrington (1989), (''Domesday Book: 1300–1540 )''〕 A struggle by the Moreton Corbet branch to prevent property being dispersed through female heirs had greatly preocupied Sir Roger.〔Roskell et al, (CORBET, Sir Roger (d.1395), of Moreton Corbet, Salop. ) – Author: L. S. Woodger〕 : *Margaret Erdington, daughter of Sir Giles Erdington of Erdington, Warwickshire. The Erdington's became even more involved in the Corbets' bitter property disputes because Sir Roger's sister, Margaret Corbet, married his brother-in-law, Sir Thomas Erdington. The younger Roger Corbet's birth date is unknown but must have been after 1383, as he was definitely younger than his brother, who was born in December of that year. The heraldic visitation lists two sisters, Johanna or Joan and Elianora or Eleanor. Their parents died within a few months of each other in 1395. The eldest son, Robert, was not yet 12 and entered a period of wardship – granted to Thomas Percy, 1st Earl of Worcester.〔(Corbet, p.243 )〕 by Richard II but transferred under Henry IV to John Burley, a retainer of Thomas FitzAlan, 12th Earl of Arundel.〔 Both Robert and Roger were to develop an increasingly close relationship with Arundel, whose family were key supporters of the House of Lancaster. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Roger Corbet (died 1430)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
