Notes for: Matilda Wycliffe

The name of this Wycliffe comes from a Wycliffe pedigree in The History of Yorkshire; Wapentake of Gilling West, by Marshall General Plantagenet Harrison (1885). I don't know where Harrison got this information. I can only assume it is guesswork on his part from looking at old records. Harrison's pedigree seems to be the only one that goes back this far; so I will go with it for now.

About her the pedigree says "Matilda, wife of William de Holthorpe of Magu__-Edston, co. York, married at Wycliffe, 2 Henry VI [1471]."

[Note: The preceding "2" may have been cut off; so it could be twenty something. My guess is that it was just 2, though.]
