     Christiana ? married William de Lancaster, son of William de Lancaster and Alice de Gernet.¹ Christiana died in 1406.¹

     John de Lancaster was born before 1369.² He married first Margaret de Threlkeld.¹ John de Lancaster married second Katherine ?.¹ John died in 1427.¹

     John was also known as [Sir] John de Lancaster.

     The web site The de Lancaster Family has another William de Lancaster who died in 1407, son of the William de Lancaster who died in 1399 as the father of John. The Victoria History of the County of Lancashire has John as the son of the William who died in 1399. I am accepting the later. Perhaps the two Williams, one who died in 1399 and one who died in 1407 are really the same and one of the death dates in whatever sources were used was recorded incorrectly or John had a brother William.

     In 1397, "John de Lancastre of Rydale, last of seven commissioners appointed to arrest and commit a large number of Westmorland men (named) who threaten the lives and limbs of the abbot and canons of Hepp." In 1402, "John de Lancastre, chevaler, holds the fourth part of one fee in Ridale, as parcel of the moiety of the manor of Kirkeby kendale, which Margaret de Ros formerly held."¹

     A reference in 1435 to a dispute between his heirs indicates that at his death his wife was Katherine. "Pardon, for 20 marks, to Thomas Warcop of Lambersate and John Scarlet, chaplain, in that they lately acquired without king's licence to them and the heirs of Thomas from John Lancastre, "Chivaler," since deceased, and Katherine his wife, the manors of Ridale and Loughrygge, held in chief, and regranted them to the said John Lancastre and Katherine and heirs male of their bodies with the remainder to Robert Lancastre his brother for life, with remainder to John Lancastre son of William Lancastre of Yanewyth and the heirs male of his body, with remainder to Christopher Lancastre, brother of the said John son of William the heirs of his body, with remainder to William Lancastre of Hertsop and the heirs male of his body; and licence for the said Katherine to have the manors again entailed as aforesaid."¹

     John had four daughters, no male heir. "In the partition of the various estates, Howgill fell to Elizabeth, who brought the same by marriage to Robert, a younger brother of their neighbor John de Cackenthorpe of Newbiggen. The grandson of this Robert had daughters only, the eldest of whom Anne had Howgill for her share, and by her marriage to Sir Thomas Sandford of Askham, we are first introduced to the Sandfords as lords of Howgill."¹

     In 6 Henry VI the four daughters and coheirs of Sir John de Lancaster of Howgill, in consideration of the sum of 20l. paid to each of them, sold to Sir Henry Treklkeld, Knight, their moiety of the manor of Yanewith.¹
