Family and Education
b. 12 Mar. 1379, 2nd s. and h. of Sir Thomas Wake (d. 14 Aug. 1383) of Blisworth by Maud (d. 26 Apr. 1425), da. of Sir John Pigot (c.1313-Apr. 1361) of Cardington, Beds. m. Margaret, kinswoman of Sir John Philipot (d. 25 May 1384), citizen and grocer of London, at least 1s. Thomas.Northants. Fams. 319-21; VCH Northants. iv. 22-24; Beaven, Aldermen, i. 390; DNB, xv. 1045-7; C136/108/50; C139/15/20. Wake’s wife is generally said to have been Sir John Philipot’s sister, but this seems most unlikely on chronological grounds. She may well have been his niece or kinswoman, however, since their two families maintained a close connexion (CPR, 1399-1401, p. 408; CCR, 1409-13, p. 425).
