Lord Chief Justice of England, 15 Nov 1400 - 29 Mar 1413

18th Great Grandfather of Queen Elizabeth II through her mother.

Sir William Gascoigne Kt. (c. 1350 – December 17, 1419) was Chief Justice of England during the reign of King Henry IV. Gascoigne's (alternately spelled Gascoyne [1]) reputation is that of a great lawyer who in times of doubt and danger asserted the principle that the head of state is subject to law, and that the traditional practice of public officers, or the expressed voice of the nation in parliament, and not the will of the monarch or any part of the legislature, must guide the tribunals of the country.

He was a descendant of an ancient Yorkshire family. Though he is said to have studied at the University of Cambridge his name is not found in any university or college records. It appears from the year-books that he practised as an advocate in the reigns of Edward III and Richard II. When Henry of Lancaster was banished by Richard II, Gascoigne was appointed one of his attorneys, and soon after Henry's accession to the throne was made chief justice of the court of King's Bench. After the suppression of the rising in the north in 1405, Henry eagerly pressed the chief justice to pronounce sentence upon Lord Scrope, the Archbishop of York, and the Earl Marshal Thomas Mowbray, who had been implicated in the revolt. This he absolutely refused to do, asserting the right of the prisoners to be tried by their peers. Although both were later executed, the chief justice had no part in this. It has been doubted whether Gascoigne could have displayed such independence of action without prompt punishment or removal from office.

According to the visitations, he married (1) Elizabeth Mowbray and had two children: 1. William married jane Wyman and 2. John Gascoigne. The Gascoigne pedigree (Glover p. 384) states that Elizabeth Mowbray was the daughter of 'Roger Mowbray Lord Chief Justice'. This is contradicted in the Ingleby/Mowbray pedigree (Glover p. 282) which states she was the daughter and co-heir of Sir Alexander Mowbray of Kirklington and Elizabeth, the daughter of Henry Monasteriis, which appears more likely.

He married (2) Jane daughter to William Lysley and had a son James, ancestor of the Gascoignes of Cardington, Bedfordshire.

Joseph Foster's 'Pedigrees of the County Families of Yorkshire (1874)' named this second wife as Johanna Pickering, daughter of Sir William Pickering, and names their children as James, Christopher, Robert and Richard. Agnes is also believed to be of this second family.
