     Robert Plumpton married Isabella Scrope.
     Robert died on 19 April 1407.

     Robert Plumpton was the son of Robert de Plumpton and Lucy de Ros.

     Robert Plumpton was the son of Sir Robert Plumpton and Alice Foljambe.

     Sir Robert Plumpton was born say 1383. He was the son of William Plumpton and Alice Gisburn.
     Sir Robert Plumpton married Alice Foljambe on 16 January 1393. Sir Robert Plumpton was buried on 8 December 1421 in Plumpton Quire, Spofforth, Yorkshire. Memorial inscription: Hic Jacet Robertus Plompton, mil/ nuper Senescallus de Knaresborough, et Alicia uxor ejus, filia et here Godfridi Foljambe, mil. qui Robertus obiit 8 Decemberis 1421, quorum a'i'bus p'pitietur Deus.
     Robert died on 14 December 1421.

     Sir Robert Plumpton was born in 1453. Within the old DNB entry for "Sir William Plumpton 1404-80" is a sub-entry for his son and heir Sir Robert Plumpton, child of his union with Joan Winteringham of Winteringham Hall, who, he convinced a jury, he had "married privately" in 1451. This was important, Sir Robert being born in 1453, and thereafter, his heir designate. He was the son of William Plumpton.
     He was illegitimate by Joan, daughter of Thomas Wintingham, of Knaresborough. William claimed that they had married secretly may years ealier, and the marriage was validated in 1472.
Conveniently, this revelation occured after the death of Wiliam's only remaining heir male, and to preserve the family line, William tried immediately to disinherit the granddaughters in favour of the newly legitimized Robert, thus starting a conflict with their husbands, the Roucliffes and the Sothills. A settlement, begun before Wiliam's death in 1480, divided the estates, but left a terrible legacy to Robert, who almost lost everything in a length legal battle with Sir Richard Empson, the opportunistic lawyer employed by his rivals. Only Empson's disgrace in 1509 saved Robert from total ruin.
     Sir Robert Plumpton married Ann Gascoigne, daughter of William Gascoigne and Jane Nevil, circa November 1477 in Yorkshire. They had issue: Jane wife of Richard Mauleverer, Margaret, Anne, William, Robert, Dorothy & Elizabeth.

Nancy Vogt wrote:
I have come upon a mystery in the Kirby book "The Plumpton Letters and Papers" and hope that someone on the list can clarify the supposed illegitimate/bastard sons of William Plumpton 1404-1480.
Sir Wm. was married first to Agnes Stapleton daughter of Sir Brian Stapleton by whom he had two sons both of whom married Elizabeth Clifford daughter of Thomas Lord Clifford (as arranged by the marriage contract) Robert
(d.1450) no issue and Wm. (d. 1461) at Towton Field leaving 2 daughters Margaret and Elizabeth, granddaughers of Sir Wm. (1404)
Agnes wife of Wm.(1404-1480) died before 1446. By 1453 Wm had produced a son, another Robert with Joan Wintringham (whom he claimed to have married) whom he wished to designate as his heir as it was important to him to carry on the male heir/name.
There seem to be two separate issues.
One, according to "Old Halls, Manors and Families of Derbyshire" Sir Wm. (1404) married his wife without witnesses before sunrise, jeopardising the rights of his children. They were pronounced illegitimate by the Church and but for the Priest and lengthened litigation they would have lost their inheritance. This would seem to refer to Robt (d1450) and Wm. (d. 1461), but is is not clear to me.
However, Kirby's book indicates that it was the 2nd marriage to Joan Wintringham daughter of Thomas that was questionable. It was not until 1472 that this second marriage was declared valid and Robert(1453-1523)
declared the legal heir.
We now have two deceased sons named Robert and William and another Robert by the 2nd wife. Added to that is that Sir Wm. is said to have had two illegitimate/bastard sons identified as Robert or Robinet of York (d.1507) who had legal training, practiced in York, lived in the parish of St. Michael, Spurriergate. and Wlliam of Kirkby Overblow (no dates)
They are mentioned several times in the text of various letters as "bastard". The two, (Robinet and William of Kirkby Overblow) were eventually given annuities out of certain parcels of land in the Derbyshire manor of Ockbrook by their father, Sir Wm.
Question: When were the other Robert (Robinet) and Wm. born? One Robert d. 1450 and another Robert b. 1453-1523 leaving a gap of 3 years for Robinet(d. 1507) or is that not relevant? The two William's are even more perplexing as the first William d. 1461. How does Wm. of Kirkby Overblow fit in? He is mentioned in several letters written by Robinet as "my brother William" Who was their mother?. William Plumpton was born on 7 October 1404 in Yorkshire, England. He was the son of Sir Robert Plumpton and Alice Foljambe.
