Biography

In 1086 the manor of Stanwell, Middlesex, was held by William Fitz Othere, Constable of Windsor Castle.[1] Stanwell was held as from the Castle, and William's descendants took the name Wyndsore. Thomas Wyndsore, Andrew's father, was aged 11 when his father Miles Wyndsore died while on pilgrimage in Ferrara, Italy in 1451/2: Miles's wife was Joan, daughter of Walter Green, M.P., of Hayes, Middlesex (d. 1456),[2] (and sister of Katherine Green (died 1498), successively wife of William Stalworth (died c. 1445),[3] John Gaynesford of Crowhurst (died 1460) and Sir Edmund Rede of Boarstall (1417–1489).[4]). Thomas Wyndsore as fee lord of Hampton Poyle, Oxfordshire, demised it in 11 Edward IV to Katherine Rede, in respect of the Gaynesford and Warner connection with the Poyle family.[5]

Around 1465, Thomas married Elizabeth Andrewes,[6] daughter of John and Elizabeth Andrewes of Baylham, Suffolk, and Andrew, the eldest surviving son, was born c. 1467.[7] Several children of Thomas are enumerated in the wills of Elizabeth Andrewes senior and her sister Dame Alice Wyche,[8] both of whom died in 1474.[9] Having made his own will in 1479, Thomas was advised to prepare himself to receive the Order of Knighthood at King Edward V's Coronation in June 1483,[10] but those honours never materialised.[11] In 1485, Richard III appointed him Constable of Windsor Castle.[12] Following the Battle of Bosworth, his lands were forfeit, but immediately restored to him by Henry VII. He died a week later; his will naming Andrew his heir was proved on 14 February 1485/6.[13]
