| Sir John Latimer
(-Bef 1336) |
Sir John Latimer 2 3 5General Notes: THE Descent of the Latimers that were Lords of Duntish and Estpullham, being the business of my Intention, I shall here proceed with Sir John Latimer, the se|cond Son of the aforementioned Lord William, who flourished in the Reign of King Edward the Second, in Possession of several Noble Lordships, that were left to his Inheritance by the Care and Kindness of his Father: he had Lands in Eastshene, in Mortlac, and in Wimbledon in the County of Surrey, in Wolwich in Kent, besides great Possessions in Dorsetshire; which latter did devolve to him in the Right of the Lady Joan de Govis his Wife, who was one of the Daughters of Sir William de Govis, a Lord of a Noble Patrimony in the Kingdom of France; and that had likewise fair Lands in England, which he Inherited from his Mother the Lady Beatrice of Lincoln, one of the Heirs of a great House, that had been very famous in the foregoing Ages. From this Marriage arose the most notorious Contention of that time, between this Sir John Latimer, and Sir Peter Desmonstiers, of the Dutchy of Normandy, about the Fief and Lordships of Govis in that Country, having been the Chief Seat, and part of the Inheritance of Sir William de Govis, that was Father-in-Law to them both. Whereupon divers Transactions past in the Courts of Judicature of either Kingdom, and there are Extant (relating to this difference) several Orders, Grants and Instruments, under the Seals of both the Kings, Edward the Second, and King Philip.
