; per mjcar@btinternet.com: [quote]I have been reading "Hawkwood: Diabolical Englishman" by Frances Stonor Saunders, a well-researched and enjoyable biography of the 14th century soldier of fortune, Sir John Hawkwood - recommended on the list last year by Hap and Adrian.

In addition to detailing his Italian second marriage, and making reference to the daughter of the first marriage, wife of Sir William de Coggeshall, the author also provides some information about Sir John's family in Essex.

His father, Gilbert, of Sible Hedingham, Essex, died in July 1340, leaving a will (the details are taken from an article in the Gentleman's Magazine in 1788; I will hunt this up next time I am at leisure in London). Saunders calls him "a manorial lord" with "a respectable portfolio of leaseholdings" [the former is probably literary exaggeration]. There is no mention of his following a butcher's trade, as I have seen alleged elsewhere.

He left three sons: John the elder, his heir; John the younger - the knight, c1320 - 18 March 1394; and Nicholas, a priest, said to have been beneficed at Clare Abbey, Suffolk from 1363 (no reference is given for this).

The only other trace I have seen of the elder John Hawkwood is a document in the Public Record Office at Kew, in which he is called "son and heir" of Gilbert Hawkwood, in connection with real property in Langham, Suffolk, and Stratford, Essex; he is said to have inherited (sic) this land, together with one John le Summoner, from John de Longwood [Duchy of Lancaster records, 25/1736, dated 1341-2]. Perhaps this would give a clue as the identity of John Hawkwood's otherwise unknown mother?

Sir John used the fortune he acquired in Italy to purchase lands in England - including the Leadenhall in London, now the famous market-site, then producing an income of over £28 per annum [Calendar, London Plea Rolls, Vol 3, Roll A, membrane 7b], but chiefly, it seems, in his home county of Essex.

By his second marriage at Milan on 3 May 1377 to Donnina, illegitimate daughter of Bernabo Visconti, he had a son, John, and three daughters:

(1) Janet, born 1378; married 19 November 1392 Brezaglia di Porciglia

(2) Catherine, born 1379; married 21 January 1393 Conrad Prospergh, styled "count"

(3) Anna, born 1381; married by 1399 Ambrogiuolo di Piero della Torre, of Florence

John, Sir John's son and heir, born in 1388, is said to have relocated to England in 1406, residing at Sible Hedingham where he had inherited property from his father; he married a woman named Margaret, and was living in 1464 (according to Saunders) but died without issue. There had been considerable confusion after Sir John's death about his English property, particularly as he died intestate; Saunders details an inquest by the Lord Mayor in 1398 to investigate the whereabouts of a chest of deeds that had gone missing. The Public Records office on-line catalogue also lists a 1403 document detailing testimony by one of Sir John's servants, concerning property in Essex and Buckinghamshire (C 270/29/17).

Saunders states that Sir John also had an illegitimate son, John Hawkwood, "probably born between 1353 and 1356", who was schooled in London and became a priest; he was living in 1376 but it appears nothing else is known of him.

MA-R [end quote].⁶ Sir John Hawkwood was also known as Giovanni Acuto Signore di Bagnacavallo, Cotignola, Coselice, Bertinoro, Faenza, Massa Lombarda e Sant'Arcangelo di Romagna.⁵

; The problem is that Sir John Hawkwood appears to have been married twice.

What I have is
Sir John Hawkwood
born about 1325 Hedingham, Sible, England
died 17 March 1394 Florence, Italy
married (1) ....name not known to me
--------parents of Antiochia Mary, married Sir William Coggeshall
married (2) May 1377 in Milan, Donnina Visconti, illegitimate daughter of Barnabo Visconti, Lord of Milan, by Porina
-------parents of (at least) Anna , Caterina (married Konrad Prospergh), Zannetta (married NN Brezaglia, Count of Porcia)

This means that the Coggeshall descendants miss out on the Visconti ancestry. Can anyone add to this?
Many thanks.

; I posted (in the archives) a mention of this book when I purchased it last March at Harrods. The author discusses Hawkwood's first wife on page 47. She goes on to further speculate that she may well have been a de Vere:

"There is evidence to support a marriage, though this, his first spouse, has never been identified, although it is generally agreed that the union produced a daughter, Antiocha. The name suggests that Hawkwood's wife may have been a de Vere: it is associated with a miracle that was said to have occurred during the fighting in Antioch during the First Crusade in 1098. Night was falling and the Saracens were stealing away in the darkness when a bright star appeared on Robert de Vere's shield, illuminating the battlefield and allowing the Christians to overwhelm the enemy."

HS

P. S. John Hawkwood's father Gilbert died in late July 1340 and requested burial at Saint Peter's Church in Sible Hedingham (about a mile from the Vere residence in Castle Hedingham). John Hawkwood had an elder brother also named John. She assumes that Hawkwood's mother (unnamed) predeceased her husband. Daughter Beatrice is not mentioned in the book.
