She m. in 1511 Sir Richard Sac:ikvkhki.i., of Ratcliffe-on-Soar, Notts, whose will dat. 29 March was pr. 26 June 1534. The suo jure Baroness was living 152S and possibly later, but was dead before 1531, being bur. at Newark, co. Leicester, as was her second husband. ( a ) This is given in " Dugdale " and it sets forth clearly that she m. firstly Robert, Lord Hungerford, and secondly Sir Oliver Mauuingham ; yet shortly afterwards Dugdale assigns to this Robert a second wife, viz., Catharine, da. of Reginald (West), Lord de la Warr, to whom he ascribes (as Robert's younger sons) Walter and Leonard) whom just before lie had attributed to Eleanor Molius. ( b ) See p. 186, note " b," sub " Hastings," as to the probability of her not being then considered as so entitled owing to the attainder of her father and grandfather (thro' whom she inherited the same) notwithstanding that they firedeceased the suo jure Baroness Botreaux. ( c ) The large estates (among which Farleigh- Hungerford was not [see p. 275, note " d " ] ), which this lady brought to her husband are set out by Dugdale (vol ii, p. 211), from a MS. in possession of Theophilus, Earl of Huntingdon. ( d ) This Barony must thertfore be considered as a creation of 11S2, inasmuch as Sir Edward was not entitled to the Barony of Hastings till the death of bis father, while as to the Barony of Hungerford to which his wife was the heir it was still under the attainder of 1461. (°) By the death of his father (beheaded 13 June 14S3, but apparently never attainted) he became entitled to the Barony of Hastings (cr, 1161) and tho' he himself was never sum. to Pari, as such yet his s. and h. George Hastings was so sum. from 17 Ozt. 1509, to 3 Nov. 1529. ( f ; Tea. Vet., p. 475.

Baronies, while as to Meets (the other) she was only one of the coheirs thereto. See p. 136, note " b," su5 " Hastings."
