His mother (Catherine Peverell) and his wife Margaret, 4th Baroness Botreaux, the wealthy heiress of William de Botreaux, 3rd Baron Botreaux, added to the landed property of his family in Cornwall.[3] His wife lived until 7 February 1478, surviving all her descendants, excepting a great-granddaughter, Mary Hastings, 4th Baroness Hungerford. Her will, dated 8 August 1476, is printed in Nicholas Harris Nicolas's Testamenta Vetusta,[4] and in Hoare's "Modern Wiltshire, Hundred of Heytesbury. A list of the heavy expenses she incurred in ransoming her son Robert appears in William Dugdale's Baronage.[2][5]
