Biography
Margery le Despenser was born about "1398–1400 (age 24 or 26 in 1424)", daughter and heiress of Elizabeth de Tibetot of Nettlestead, Suffolk and her husband Sir Philip le Despenser of "Goxhill, Lincolnshire, and Camoys (in Toppesfield), Essex..."[1] (now styled de jure 2nd Baron le Despenser).
She had no children by her first husband, Sir John Roos, 7th Lord Roos, Captain of Chateau Gaillard and Mantes, to whom she was married as a young child (Papal "dispensation for consanguinity dated 13 September 1404"). He was born in 1396 and "slain at the Battle of Beaugé in Anjou 22 March 1420/1."[1]
Before 2 March 1422/3, Margery married (2nd) "without royal license Roger Wentworth, Esq.," son of John Wentworth of North Elmsall, Yorkshire and his wife Agnes Dronsfield.[1] Because of the difference in social status (Roger was the landless younger son of John, a Yorkshire lawyer), they married secretly and without royal license, for which offense she is said to have been fined £1000, an enormous sum.[citation needed][2] "On payment of the required fine, she and Roger were pardoned 18 December 1423."[1]
Margery and Roger had three sons and three daughters:[1]
Sons:
Sir Philip Wentworth, married Mary Clifford[1]
Henry Wentworth, Esq., married (1) Elizabeth Howard, (2) Joan Fitz Simon[1]
Thomas Wentworth (clerk)[1]
Daughters:
Elizabeth Wentworth, married John Calthorpe[1]
Margaret Wentworth, married Sir William Hopton[3]
Agnes Wentworth, married Sir Robert Constable[4]
Roger died 24 Octoboer 1452. Margery "died 20 April 1478, and was buried at Grey Friars, Ipswich, Suffolk. She left a will dated 30 August 1477, proved 28 May 1478".[1] She died at Nettlestead, Suffolk[citation needed] (some say Cambridgeshire[5]).
