(■=) Wherein he is described as "cousin and heir of Sir Richard Beauchamp, Kn*," so that, apparently, he must have inherited some considerable property in right of such cousinship. This Richard (Beauchamp), Lord St. Amand, was s. and h. of Sir William Beauchamp [d. 1457), ^7 Elizabeth, the only child that had issue of Gerard Braybroke, who was only s. and h. ap. of Sir Gerard Braybroke, by Eleanor de St. Amand (the only child that had issue of Lord St. Amand), the issue of which last-named couple came to an end on the death, s.p. legit., of the abovenamed "Sir Richard Beauchamp, Knt." (Lord St. Amand), their great-grandson, in 1 508. Through this Richard's mother (Elizabeth Braybroke), the Lords Cobham thus became "his heir," being descendants of Sir Reynold Braybroke, and Joan, sua jure Baroness Cobham (No. IV), as set forth in the text, the said Reynold being next br. to the said Sir Gerard Braybroke, who m. the heiress of St. Amand as aforesaid. See pedigree of Braybroke in Howard's Misc. Gen. et Her., N.S., vol. ii, p. 72.
