... Anne Knyvett who married Charles Clifford, Esq., the son of her father William Knyvett's third wife, Joan Courtenay (d. 8 February 1501), by her first husband, Sir Roger Clifford.
Roger Virgoe writes:
This was not a successful marriage. Charles was a squire of the body at Henry VII’s funeral and was a soldier at Calais from 1512 to 1514 but thereafter disappears from View. Sir William, in his will of 1515, bequeaths to his daughter £20 p.a. for twelve years to pay for her apparel and her children, because her husband ‘by his negligence and misordrely lyving is brought in great daunger and poverte so that my seid daughter lyveth a pore lyff’. Anne is also remembered in the will of her brother, Edward, fourteen years later. She had at least two sons and a daughter, one of the sons coming to a shameful end, being executed in 1538 for forging the King’s seal. In his will of lands he [Edward] provided from his enfeoffed manor of Wymondham an annuity of £10 p.a. to his impoverished sister, Anne Clifford.
Charles Clifford (born 1480/1) sold the marriage of his eldest son to Edmund Dudley in 1508. ...
