Family and Education

m. by Feb. 1397, Katherine, at least 1s. Kntd. by Nov. 1382.CFR, ix. 337. Hercy is said to have married Katherine, a daughter of Robert Cumberworth* of Somerby and Stain, Lincs., and widow of Sir Marmaduke Constable of Flamborough, Yorks. (J. Foster, Yorks. Ped. ii. sub Constable). Unless he married two wives named Katherine in succession, this cannot, however, have been the case, since Constable did not die until 1404, seven years after the award of a papal indult to Sir Thomas Hercy and Katherine, his wife. (CPL, v. 39; Test. Ebor. i. 200-1)
