| Notes |
- Thomas Lovett who married Ann Danvers, fourth daughter of Sir John Danvers, belonged to the ancient family of Lovett, or Loueth, one of whom settled at Astwell in Northampton. Thomas Lovett died in July of the year 1523 ; and his inquisition states that his son and heir, Thomas, was at the time six years of age. He left two other sons' and three daughters; neither of the sons left heirs male, and the Astwell estate passed to John Shirley, of Eakedale, Leicester who married Jane, daughter of Thomas Lovett and Ann Danvers.
Baker, in his ' History of Northamptonshire,' states that Ann died before her husband, Thomas Lovett; but this seems to be a mistake, as she was alive when her mother, Dame Ann, made her will in the year 1539, and was then married to . . . Wykes, no doubt one of the ancient Devonshire family of that name, of North wyke....
Possibly John as one is witness to the will of his mother in law Ann Danvers will of 1530.
The following extracts have been taken from "Illustrated Letters of the Paston Family", edited by Roger Virgoe (Macmillan 1989). The Pastons of Norfolk were a powerful familly in England in the 15th century.
In a letter from Clement Paston to John Paston on 25 August 1461, he writes:
...Also he is acquainted with nobody but Wykes (John Wykes, 'Usshere of the King's Chambre'), and Wykes had told him that he would bring him to the King, but he has not yet done so.
Describing the Royal Household of Edward IV, the editor states that
Court members included the King's Secretary, Confessor and Almoner and usually one or more lords, but men of quite low status, such as the Pastons' friend John Wykes, Usher of the Chamber, could acquire great influence through their intimacy with the King.
This John Wykes had an estate at Lavenham in Suffolk. He was in Castle Rising in Norfolk in one of the letters, a Royal castle, where the court must have been at the time.
