Sir John & Sir William Burley's (of Bromscroft Castle) wives
Posted by: mike bodman (ID *****1385) Date: October 01, 2007 at 11:06:41

Regarding the conflicting accounts of Sir William Burley's wife and his father Sir John Burley's wife, I refer to the following accounts:

1) Munslow: http://www.british-history.ac.uk/report.asp?compid=22866&strquery=munslow
"The tenancy in chief of MUNSLOW may have been separated from that of Aston c. 1400, for William Beauchamp, Lord Bergavenny, is said to have sold what was probably the tenancy in chief to John Burley, Reynold, Lord Grey of Ruthin's brother-in-law. (fn. 56) Burley also acquired the terre tenancy of the manor, and the tenancy in chief presumably merged with it. "
Sources: 56) T.S.A.S. 4th ser. xi. 5; Owen and Blakeway, Hist. Shrews. ii. 139; S.P.L., MSS. 2788, p. 375; 2789, p. 214.

2) Shipton: http://www.british-history.ac.uk/report.asp?compid=22885&strquery=shipton
"After William Burley's death without sons in 1458 (fn. 18) the manor was held for life by Margaret Walwen, related to his brother-in-law Reynold, Lord Grey of Wilton. (fn. 19)"
Sources: 19) Cal. Inq. p.m. Hen. VII, i, p. 303; T.S.A.S. lvi. 264; Complete Peerage, vi. 180.

According to the above, it would seem that the following pedigree could be drawn:

John Burley = a dau. of Reynold Baron Grey of Ruthin, and had a son
William Burley = a daughter of Richard Baron Grey of Wilton

Maybe, all the confusion surrounding the names of the wives of the Burleys and their fathers "Reynold Grey" of either of Ruthin or Wilton stems from father and son both marrying the daughters of Greys and that both father and son had brothers in law named Reynold Grey. John Burley's brother in law was Reynold Baron Grey of Ruthin and William Burley's brother in law was Reynold Baron Grey of Wilton.

Sincerely,
Mike Bodman
