    • 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.
