| Notes |
- C 1/118/34 Rauf Bygod, knight, and Dame Alice, his wife, previously
the wife of Richard Conyers, knight. v. Henry, lord Scrope, William
Bulmers, knight, and Sir Rauff Fitzrandall, feoffees to uses, and Sir
Rauff Bewes, knight.: Messuages and lands in Cowton: York.
Sir Ralph Bigod's mother was Elizabeth, the dau. of the 4th Lord
Scrope of Bolton. The "Henry, lord Scrope" referred to in the
document was probably Sir Ralph's first cousin Henry, 6th Lord Scrope
of Bolton (d. 1506). Or it could be the 6th Lord's son Henry, 7th
Lord Scrope of Bolton.
"William Bulmers, knight" was probably Sir William Bulmer of Wilton,
Yorks (d. 1531), or his third son Sir William Bulmer, of Elmeden, co.
Durham, who had on 9 May 1498 a dispensation to marry Elizabeth
Elmeden, granddaughter of "Sir Richard and Alice Conyers of S.
Cowton." [H.S.P. Yorkshire Pedigrees, p.79]
"Sir Rauff Bewes, knight" was probably Sir Ralph Bowes of Streatlam
(d. 1512), husband of "Margery, da. and coh. of Sir Richard Conyers of
South Cowton" [HOP article on their son Sir Robert Bowes, of South
Cowton]
In answer to your question, in the current draft of the forthcoming 3rd edition of Plantagenet Ancestry, Sir Ralph Bigod's 2nd wife is identified as Alice, widow of Sir Richard Conyers. In the account of the Bowes family, Alice, wife of Sir Richard Conyers, is further identified as the daughter of John Wycliffe, Esq., of Wycliffe. Alice Conyers' identity as a Wycliffe presumably explains why the Conyers and Wycliffe arms are found impaled together in the old Castle Tower at South Cowton.
