Families covered: Knull (Knill) of Byford, Knill of Knill (Knull of Knull), Brokenbergh of North Wraxhall
| MGH identifies the arms of this family as "Gules, crusily-fitchy and a lion of gold". Whilst MGH shows the following John above the John just below (who married Joan), it does not connect them. However, BE1883 ('Braose of Gower') reports that he "is stated to have had from his father the manor of Knylle, or Knill, in the marches of Wales, and thence to have adopted the surname of Knill, and to have been ancestor of Jenkin Knill, Esq, of Knill, who m. Anne, dau and co-heiress of Sir Richard Devereux" who is shown on Knill2, the connection being through Eleanor de Brokenbergh below. | |||||||||||||||
