Sir Thomas Boyville (c.1370-1401) was a substantial landowner and both a son and father of Members of Parliament. ==Background and family == The Boyville (Bovile, Boyvile, Boyvill, Boyvyle) family is recorded at Stockerston, Leicestershire as early as the 13th century. Thomas Boyville was a son of Sir John Boyville of Stockerston (died 1376/7) and his wife Alice. At the Merciless Parliament, the lands held by Sir William Burgh were declared forfeit and reverted to the Crown. These included estates in Warwickshire, Leicestershire, Rutland and Norfolk that had been held by Thomas’ father, Sir John Boyville, but had passed into the wardship of Sir William, his feudal superior, when John died leaving an heir who was a minor. On 8 February 1388/9, the King allocated wardship of these Boyville estates to Sir Thomas Walsh.〔Calendar of Fine Rolls, volume 10, pages 279-280.〕 This put Sir Thomas in a position to arrange the marriage of Thomas Boyville to his daughter Elizabeth; it is almost certain that the couple were parents of both of the following children: * John Boyville – named as Thomas’ heir in the inquisition post mortem for his father. * Hugh Boyville – along with John, was described in 1439 as a kinsman to Thomas Walsh, a lunatic, when the two of them were granted custody of his lands and person; Thomas Walsh was a brother of Thomas Boyville’s wife Elizabeth. Evidently, Thomas made his home at Stockerston as he was described as living there in connection with a report of a charter that he made in 1394 (see below). 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「Sir Thomas Boyville」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
