Literary References
A character named 'Jon Fogge', who appears to be based on this knight, appears frequently in Marjorie Bowen's 1929 novel Dickon about the life of Richard III. In the novel he serves as a sort of sinister shadow, portending the violent fate of the king.
Family
His first wife was Alice de Criol or Kyriell, the daughter of the Yorkist Sir Thomas de Criol who was killed at the second battle of St Albans. This marriage brought him Westenhanger Castle.[10]
His second wife was Alice Haute or Hawte (born circa 1444),[11] whom he had married c. 1465. She was the daughter of Sir William Haute (c.1390-1462) and Lady Joan Woodville, sister of Richard Woodville, 1st Earl Rivers; and so first cousin to Elizabeth Woodville, queen consort to Edward IV.[12][13] Their descendants include the last queen consort of King Henry VIII, Catherine Parr.[11]
His son Thomas, and his daughters Anne, Elisabeth, and Margaret, were probably from the second marriage.[12]
