Margaret de Legh, formerly Savage formerly Radcliffe alias de Radclyffe nee Danyers alias Daniers or Daniell, Daniel, Daniels
Margaret, the daughter and heir of Thomas Daniel and Isabel his wife was born at Bradleye co Chester, England, on the Monday after Ascension day in 22 Edward III, and baptized that same day in the parish church of Lymme in co Chester.[1] [Easter was 20 April, Ascension was Thursday 29 April, therefore Monday after was 2 June 1348]
Margaret was the daughter of Sir Thomas Danyers of Bradley in Appleton, Cheshire, and his wife, Isabel, the daughter and heir of William Baggiley and his wife Clemence, the daughter and coheir to Sir Roger Chedle alias Sir Roger Dutton of Chedle in Cheshire, son of Rafe Baggiley.[2] Margaret's father, Thomas Danyers, the younger, was the son of Thomas Danyers, the elder, and his wife, Margaret.[3] Thomas the elder was the son of William Danyers.[3]
In August 1346, Margaret's father, Sir Thomas Danyers, while fighting in the battle of Cressy in France under his earl, Prince Edward known as the Black Prince, relieved the Banner of his Earl, and took prisoner the Chamberlain of France, Tankerville.[4] As a reward for this, the Black Prince, as earl of Chester, granted Sir Thomas an annuity of 40 marks per annum from Frodsham manor, until a convenient grant of land of the value of £20 could be made.[4]
When Sir Thomas died in 26 Edward III [1352], predeceasing his father whose will was made two years later, he left one daughter, Margaret, and the Danyers' estates went to his brother, but his daughter Margaret inherited his wife's estates of Clifton, a moiety of Chedle, and Gropenhall, etc.[4]
Margaret married three times, to:
Sir John Radcliffe alias John de Radclyffe, before 10 July 36 Edward III [1362], as on that date a writ was sent to the escheator to take proof of her age, as she was already married to John son of John de Radeclyf, and the lands of her inheritance were in the custody of Thomas de Lucy, knight; the Inquisition held in Cumberland, found she was 14 years old on her last birthday. [1] Margaret and John had no children;[4]
John Savage married in 44 Edward III [1370],[5] from the Steinesbie Savages in co Derby, who became of Clifton, in right of his wife, Margaret Daniers commonly called Daniel.[6] Margaret's second husband died in 1386.[6] They had children:
Sir John Savage of Clifton who married Maude the daughter and heir of Sir Robert Swinnarton, before 1409;[6]
Elizabeth, who was living in 4 Henry VI;[6] and
Blanch, who was living in 4 Henry VI;[6]
Piers de Legh of Macclesfield, who the historian Holinshed said was "commonly called Perkin a Lee", in November 1388,[4] on 3rd of the month, with whom she had:
Sir Peter Legh of Lyme, kt, who married the heir of sir Gilbert Haydock co Lanc;[4] and
John Legh, escheator of Cheshire 12-13 Henry VI, ancestor of Legh of Ridge in Sutton;[4]
In 42-3 Edward III, 25 January 1368—24 January 1370, William the son of Richard de Bulkylegh sued John de Radeclyf and his wife Margaret, for a moiety of the manors of Clyfton and Chedle; the pedigree in the Chester Plea Roll says that William was the son of Richard de Bulkelegh and his wife Agnes who was the daughter of Joan and Roger de Chedle, and the sister of Clemence, whose second husband was John de Molyneux, Kt, and Clemence and John were the parents of Isabella the mother of Margaret who married John de Radclyfe, who by 44 Edward III was married to John Savage, as John de Radclyffe was dead.[5]
In 21 Richard II [1397] the estate that was to be her father's reward was decided by the Black Prince's son, King Richard II of England, and he granted "the lands of Hanley in Macclesfield forest" to the daughter of sir Thomas Danyers and her husband Piers Legh.[4] The letters patent from King Richard were confirming the grant made by Richard's father, of Hanley or Lyme Hanley, for services rendered by Sir Thomas Danyers.[7] Subsequently, Hanley became known as Lyme Hanley and then Lyme.[4]
Margaret's third and last husband, Piers de Legh, was the second son of Robert Legh of Adlington co Cest, esq, and his wife Matilda, the daughter and coheir of sir John Arderne, kt, and his wife Ellena de Wasteneys.[4] Robert's Inquisition post mortem was held in 6 Richard II [1382].[4] Piers was knighted around 1397.[4] Two years later Sir Piers was beheaded on 1 August 1399 at Chester, for his loyalty and gratitude to his king Richard, by the command of the leader of the Lancastrian rebellion, Henry Duke of Lancaster, known as Bolingbroke, the day after Bolingbroke entered Chester.[8]
Margaret gave her son John Savage and his heirs the liberty of bearing her coat of arms which had descended to her after the death of her father (not sure if the deed granting it to her was dated 3 Henry V or if that was when she gave it to her son).[6] In 4 Henry IV, she gave her son Piers her moiety of the Boydell property in Grappenhall.[6] [8]
A grant, by Margaret who was the wife of Peter de Legh, to Geoffrey de Mascy of Wymyncham, of a yearly rent of 20/- for life from her lands and tenements in Chedele, dated 1 October, 12 Henry IV, 1410, was endorsed "By Margaret daughter of Sir Thomas Danyers and widow of the 1st Peter Legh of Lyme".[9]
In 1412, Margaret Danyers, the widow of Peter de Legh, sued Thomas Danyers, son of Thomas Danyers, Kt, for land in Lymme and Appulton.[3]
Margaret survived all of her husbands by many years, dying in 1427,[6] That same year, 6 Henry VI, an Inquisition post mortem was taken which found Margaret, the widow of Piers de Leighe, held half the manor of Chedle, the manors of Clyfton and Bradley in Appleton, and lands in Thelwall, Hale, Lymme, Over Knutsford, Over Runcorn, Rainow, Stockport, and Macclesfield, and her heir was her son Sir John Savage knight.[4] Hanley or Lyme had been settled on Margaret's son, sir Peter Legh by the crown grant.[4]
