A medieval de Marynes/Marignes line ending in Margery de Haute
One of the lineages in the second volume of My Lineage from the Roots Up, which I am currently finishing, goes back to Margery de Marynes who married Henry de Haute (d. 1321) about 1290. Her brother’s son died without heirs, leaving the family inheritance to her son Henry. The de Haute children even took on the de Marynes arms as their own.
Margery’s father was Thomas de Marynes, coroner for Kent in 1279 and Conservator of Peace and Commissioner to enforce the Statute of Westminster in 1287. His line goes back as follows:
Thomas de Marynes was born to Sir Thomas de Marynes. He was part of the expedition to the Scots in January 1297/8 but died by July. He left a widow named Alice who may have been the mother of his children. He had two known children: Margery and Thomas (b. before 1268, d. 1299; was a prisoner of the King of France in 1298). Margery’s nephew Roger died in 1343 without any heirs.
Sir Thomas de Marynes (or de Marignes) was born to Nicholas de Marignes and Margery de Faukham. By 1253/4, Thomas held Emstede manor in adultery with Eleanor de Emstede, daughter of John de Wadesole. He had one known child, his son Thomas, but the mother is uncertain.
Nicholas de Marignes was born to Sir Aubrey de Marignes. He married Margery, who is said to have been the widow of William de Faukham, and had the one known son. (I question this statement by Davis about Margery’s first marriage, as the Faukham/Fawkham inheritance indicates it was William’s brother who left a widow about 1240, not William).
Aubrey de Marignes married Eleanor, heiress of Robert de Boxtede, by 1218 and had one known son. Aubrey died in 1234.
Aubrey was apparently an heir of Albericus de Marinis, who held Otterpoole and Blackmanstone manors in 1211 and 1212.
