An Account relating to Sir John Cobham, A.D. 1408

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  08 January 2012

Extract

The document printed below has been recently discovered in the muniment room at Dunster Castle, incorporated in a roll of accounts of Sir Hugh Luttrell, who died in 1428. Its presence there is not inexplicable, for Sir Hugh's mother, Lady Elizabeth Luttrell, was sister to Lady Margaret Cobham, wife to Sir John Cobham, styled also ‘Le Sire de Cobham’, both being daughters of Hugh Courtenay, earl of Devon.
