Subsequently, from 1441 to 1446, the same authority states that he was knight-marshal of France under John, duke of Somerset, and became at a later date knight-marshal of England under John, duke of Norfolk. The latter is said to have given Johnys the manor of Landimore. Sir Hugh married Maud, heiress of Rees Cradock.

Given the ‘laws’ of patronage of these times, this account will not be too far from the mark, and will at least provide a benchmark from which to work.
