| Berry suggests that Thomas's wife Beatrix was daughter of Sir Thomas Lewknor by a daughter of Sir Thomas Hoo (brother of Lord Hoo) but experience with the Visitations on the Hoo family makes that suspect. Visitation shows Cardinal John as brother of the Sir Thomas who married Emelyn, heiress of Alyn Chiche, and was father of Sir William who married Elynor Browne. That suggests that there was some confusion with the generations. We follow Berry except in the identification of Beatrix's mother. | |||||||||||||||
