Family


man Richard Whittington‏‎ 1) 2)


Notes: Richard is involved in litigation in the 1470s and 1480s with the Roos family - e.g. C 1/59/15. Specifically with respect to "Manors of Boughton and Westmoncote, in the parish of Bredon, and land in Rokke, late of Thomas Rous, late of Lenche Rondulph, esquire. Hunt, Worcestershire" - which suggests a possibly familial connection / inheritance of Roos lands.
