Calendar of Patent Rolls, 1502, 18 Henry VII, May 9 Westminster.
Grant to Beatrice, Lady Greystok, widow of Robert Constable, sergeant-at-law, of the lands of Edmund Thwaytes and Joan his wife, both deceased, during the minority of Henry, kinsman and heir of the said Edmund and Joan; to wit, son of Henry son of the said Edmund and Joan; and of the marriage of the said heir, though already married; and pardon to the said Beatrice for the abduction of the said Henry and the marrying him to Agnes daughter of the said Robert and Beatrice.
Pardon to Henry Thwaytes, kinsman and heir of Edmund Thwaytes, deceased, to wit son of Henry son of the said Edmund, for marrying without licence Agnes daughter of Robert Constable, late sergeant-at-law, and Beatrice his wife.
It is interesting to note that Edmund Thwaytes was a member of the Guild of Corpus Christi, like Beatrice and Robert.
The issue of Robert Constable and Beatrice were:
1.1 (2). MARMADUKE CONSTABLE of North Cliffe
1.2 Agnes Constable, dead by 1520 and married to Sir Henry Thwaite of Lund and left issue. He remarried Anne daughter of Sir John Savile of Thornhill and Elizabeth Paston, a member of the Norfolk family and maternally a Beaufort cousin of Henry VII Tudor.
1.21 Frances Thwaites, daughter of Sir Henry Thwaite and Agnes Constable. She married Sir John Gresham. Their daughter Elizabeth became the wife of Henry Neville of Bellinghere a member of the great House of Neville. Descendants of this couple include the Earls Spencer and the later Dukes of Devonshire and Earls of Carlisle through the fabulous Georgiana Duchess of Devonshire (1757-1806). Through her illegitimate daughter Eliza Courtney, her daughter by Earl Grey she is ancestor of Sarah Ferguson Duchess of York, mother of Princess Beatrice. The Howards of Castle Howard are also descendants of Georgiana's and owners of the area the Greystock estate at Henderskelfe. So Beatrice Hatcliffe may not have had Henderskelfe for her children but the lands eventually came to her descendants through the daughter and kidnapped bridegroom.
1.3 Elizabeth Constable, in Will of brother's Marmaduke Constable and Robert Constable of Hotham, also in the will of William Grimston, who married her niece. It seems that she married a man called Dryland and had issue. She was the Elizabeth Dryland of Hotham who made a Will on the 28th November 1569 which was proved on the 19 April 1570 at York. Her mother had made provision for her to become a nun, but she had decided otherwise, a wise decision for someone who was to live through the 'Dissolution of the monasteries'.
1.4 Robert Constable of Hotham, Will 25 May 1564 and proved 23 Mar 1564/5. Married to Margaret Langthorne, a widow, who died in 1570 at North Cave, they had no issue. He named many in his family including Agnes Constable wife to Etherington, his great-niece, who it seems he was alienated from over the inheritance of his late great-niece Elizabeth Constable - see below.
1.5 Ann Constable, Not mentioned in the Will of Robert Constable, 25 May 1564.
1.6 Jane Constable. Wife of Thomas Rokeby of Morthem in Richmond. Alive 25 May 1564 when her brother Robert's Will was made. Their younger son Thomas inherited Hotham land from uncle Robert Constable and lived until 1590, married and had children, and left a Will.
1.7 William Constable. Not mentioned in any other family document.
2. MARMADUKE CONSTABLE of North Cliffe
