Elizabeth "Joan" Walwyn

Biography

Joan was born about 1395. See History of Parliament profile for her father, Sir John Greyndour. [1]

"Margaret and her husband Lawrence 
Greyndour obtained seisin of Ralph's lands in 1358 (Footnote 78) and 
her second husband Robert of Huntley retained them after her death in
1357. Her son and heir John Greyndour (Footnote 79) later held Abenhall
 manor and part of Mitcheldean manor and at his death in 1415 or 1416 
was succeeded by his son Robert. (Footnote 80). At Robert's death in
1443 a third of Abenhall manor passed in dower to his wife Joan, who 
later married John Barre, and two thirds to his daughter Elizabeth, 
wife of Reynold West, Lord La Warre. After Elizabeth's death in 1452 
her second husband John Tiptoft, earl of Worcester, (Footnote 81) 
retained her part until his death in 1470 when it reverted to her heir
 William Walwyn. From William (d. 1471) it passed to his daughter Alice, 
wife of Thomas Baynham, (Footnote 82) to whom the rest of the manor
 reverted at Joan Barre's death in 1484. (Footnote 83) "[2]
