Piers Milbourne
Elizabeth Eylesford

"Elizabeth Eynesford married Sir Piers Milbourne of Lincolnshire,
by whom she had an only child, John.
Is said to have had Lincolnshire origins and to have had
connections with the Beauchamp family.
The only clues we seem to have for the ancestry of Piers Milborne,
Simon's grandfather, are the statements in _A Genealogical
Account of the Family of Bisshop or Bishop_ (1977) pp. 38-39,
said to be taken from a Harl. Soc. ms., that: "The Milbournes
came out of Lincolnsh. King Edward V. and Sir [sic] Peers Mil-
bourrne descended from two sisters. (The Milbournes originally
came from Milbourne Port, in the Co. Somerset.) Sir Peers was
one of Ld Beauchamp's heirs, and Chancellor of the Queen of
England . . .."
This suggests a connection of the Milbornes to the Lords Beau-
champ of Somerset which, while clearly garbled, may have some
grain of truth to it. Piers Milborne was certainly not an heir to
that title, but if his mother was a sister of Joan de Beauchamp
(fl. 1381, d. by 1388) , wife of Thomas Bittlesgate and a great-
great grandmother of Edward V, then the "two sisters" part of
the above assertions would be correct. Joan was a daughter of
Sir John de Beauchamp, of Lillesdon in North Curry, Somerset,
who was a third cousin of John de Beauchamp, 2d Lord Beau-
champ of Somerset. See Charles M. Hansen and Neil D.
Thompson, "The Wydevills' Quartering for Beauchamp," _The
Coat of Arms_ NS 9:178 (1992), and Charles M. Hansen, "Mary
Isaac's descent from the Beauhmps: the Correct Lineage,"
NEHGS vol. 147.
I have somewhere seen it stated that Piers Milborne's mother
was Isolt de Beauchamp, but cannot presently identify my
source for that.
