Notizen bei Katherine PEVEREL

The first wife of Walter Lord Hungerford, Katherine Peverell, one of two daughters of Thomas and Margaret Peverel. Katherine married Walter, but predeceased him. He remarried in 1439.

For the good of Katherine’s soul, Walter constructed a causeway across Standerwick marsh (Som.), towards which he bequeathed additional monies at his own death. Katherine may also be commemorated in the dedication of his hospital at Heytesbury (Wilts.), although St Katherine was a common dedication for hospitals.

Evidently Katherine’s sister left no heir, so that the Peverel estate was reunited in Hungerford hands. Who this sister was, what was her marital surname, when she died, what she possessed, when her property devolved on the Hungerford line, and who was the beneficiary has long been unknown.

Until 2010 answers to all these questions lay buried in the unpublished inquisitions post mortem and could only be conveniently accessed if the sister’s marital name was known. They are now revealed by Eleanor Talbot’s IPM in Calendar of Inquisitions post Mortem xxv. Katherine was the elder of the two sisters. The other was Eleanor Peverell, the wife in turn of Otes Trenewith, John Raleigh, and Sir William Talbot, who died in 1429. She was childless by all her husbands. Her heirs under the common law were her sister Katherine (if she outlived her) and the latter’s son Robert I, the future Lord Hungerford. However Eleanor’s lands were held in trust and she was therefore able to determine their destination.

In 1432, in what qualified as a last will, now three times widowed and past childbearing, Eleanor Talbot agreed with her sister Katherine, who was still living, and her husband Walter Lord Hungerford that her estates would devolve on her death to them both jointly for life and thereafter to their male heirs, with remainder to their right heirs. This created an entail in the male line. It ensured an orderly succession, it did change the immediate beneficiary of her estate.

When Eleanor did indeed die in 1439, Katherine was already dead, and the property under this agreement devolved on Walter as joint-tenant for life, not on her nephew - and Walter’s son - Robert II, aged 26, who would normally have succeeded directly as his aunt’s heir under common law. As usual if confusingly, the jurors quite correctly found Robert II to be Eleanor’s heir at law, but the property passed under Eleanor’s direction to her brother-in-law Walter Lord Hungerford for life.

It follows that Hicks was wrong to suppose that Eleanor’s properties passed direct to Robert II. Because of the 1432 agreement Robert II did not enjoy his aunt’s inheritance during his father’s lifetime. Indeed since his own father-in-law William Lord Botreaux (d. 1462) lived much longer than anticipated at his own marriage c. 1420, Robert II had only his jointure and whatever Walter allowed him - in 1443 his mother’s estates - until 1449 and was overshadowed even by his own son Robert III as Lord Moleyns. Against those inheritances that were unexpected windfalls should be set those like Robert II’s that were long delayed or never materialised at all. Robert II’s misfortune may in part explain why he made so little impact until the 1450s and indeed thereafter.
