Hugh Boyville was a landowner who held a number of public offices and served as a Member of Parliament for Rutland in 1439-40 and 1447. Background and family The Boyville (Bovile, Boyvile, Boyvill, Boyvyle) family is recorded at Stockerston, Leicestershire as early as the 13th century. Although in a different county, Stockerston is only a few miles from Ridlington, where Hugh Boyville lived. There is a strong reason to believe that Hugh was a son of Sir Thomas Boyville (c.1370-1401) of Stockerston and his wife Elizabeth Walsh, as in 1439 John Boyville and Hugh Boyville were described as kinsmen to Thomas Walsh, a lunatic, when they were granted custody of his lands and person; Thomas Walsh was a brother of Thomas Boyville's wife Elizabeth. If Hugh was indeed a brother of John, he would have been his younger brother, as John was identified as Thomas’ heir in the inquisition post mortem that followed his death. This being so, Hugh would have been born between John's birth in 1 ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
