Disputed Lineages

Parents: Berry, Hasted, and the Roper pedigree given in the 1619 Visitation of Kent, make Agnes the daughter of Rodolphus and Beatrix. The Colepeper pedigree given in the 1619 Visitation gives her father as Edmund Roper, and this is supported by her monumental inscription as related by Attree (cited below, page 57), and quoted by Weever ("Agnes erat filia Edmundi Robar iuxta Cantuar.").

Husbands: Hasted (7:73-74) has Bedgebury coming into the Colepepper family through Agnes, the daughter of the John de Bedgebury who died in 1424, marrying John Colepepper. However, Attree (p.57) cites a Chancery proceeding (undated, temp. Hen. VI) where "Walter Coulepir and Agneis, his wife, late the wife of John, son of John de Beggebury" appear as plaintiffs in a dispute relating to property in Goudhurst, Cranbrook, and Hawkhurst that John son of Roger de Bedgbury had left in a will.

The Oxford Dictionary of National Biography describes Agnes as "daughter of Edmund Roper of Canterbury and widow and heir of John Bedgebury."
