The document below is the Prerogative Court of Canterbury copy of the undated will, proved 15 May 1515, of Margaret (nee Scrope) de la Pole (d.1515), Countess of Suffolk.
The testatrix was born Margaret Scrope, the daughter and co-heir of Richard Scrope, ...For the will of the testatrix’ father, Richard Scrope (d.1485), see the copy on this website and in Testamenta Eboracensia, Vol. III (London: Surtees Society, 1865), pp. 297-9, available online.
For the will of the testatrix’ mother, Eleanor (nee Washbourne) Scrope Wyndham (d.1505/6), see TNA PROB 11/15. The testatrix is not mentioned in her mother’s will, perhaps because her husband, Edmund de la Pole (1472?-1513), 8th Earl of Suffolk, was an outlawed exile at the time.
The testatrix had six sisters who lived to adulthood:
....Elizabeth (d.1537),Eleanor, Mary (d.1548)...Katherine,...Jane [Joan], ), Anne, a nun at Barking....
The testatrix married Edmund de la Pole (1472?-1513), 8th Earl of Suffolk,..
The testatrix and her husband, Edmund de la Pole (1472?-1513), 8th Earl of Suffolk, had only one child, Elizabeth, a nun at the Minories without Aldgate in London. During the last years of her life, the testatrix lived with her first cousin, Elizabeth (nee Scrope) Peche (d.1544), and her husband, Sir John Peche (c.1473-1521/2), at Lullingstone, Kent .....
Will of Margaret Suffolk:
In the name of God, Amen. I, Margaret Suffolk, being of sound mind, make my testament in this manner following: Firstly, I bequeath my soul to Almighty God, and my body to be buried among the Minoresses with my husband; Item, I leave to Master John Peche, knight, ...
