ID of Katherine Talbot wife of Nic Eyton
In the Visitations of Shropshire Taken in the Year 1635 I find in the Eyton pedigree:
Sir Nich’us Eyton de Eyton in co. Salop Sheriff (of Shropshire) in 1440 and1449
miles Katherina filia Joh’is Talbot in com. Salop Earl of Salop
I see in Complete Peerage by Cockayne vol XI p.698:
John Talbot cr. Earl of Salop but styled Earl of Shrewsbury (as are all subsequent generations)
(son of Richard Talbot, Lord Talbot and Ankaret Le Strange)
b. c1384d. 7/17/1453(killed in battle during an attack on an entrenched French camp at Castillion)
his son
John Talbot, 2nd Earl of Shrewsbury
b. c1413d. 7/10/1460
m. bef. Mar. 1445 Eliz Butlerhis "1st son and h. John Talbot, 3rd Earl b. 1448"
In the (outstanding) Plantagenet Ancestry, 2nd ed. by Faris p. 349 notes John Talbot had 3 sons by his 1st wife and 4 sons and 2 daughters by his second.
Putting all this together, I conclude that Katherine Talbot wife of Sir Nicholas Eyton must be the daughter of John Talbot, cr 1st Earl of Shrewsbury and most likely by his 2nd wife Margaret Beauchamp.
I assume Sir Nicholas Eyton was an adult in 1440 when he was sheriff and that his wife was approximately the same age.We have evidence that John Talbot, 2nd Earl did not begin having children until 1445
Though I am feeling as though this identification is correct, I would like to point out that it is based on the Visitations whose pedigrees are not always correct (families occasionally added royal and noble connections to these pedigrees to advance their own standing) and some assumptions based on dates.Before this becomes yet another wide spread web-based genealogical error, I think we need to prove it with at least one other source of information.I am posting this with the hope some one can help.
If correct, this will link the Eaton’s to several thousand more known ancestors, the Royalty of England, most of the Royal houses of Europe, and I believe most of the Magna Carta Sureties
Any help or suggestions appreciated
