Sir Robert Danvers
(Abt 1400 - 17 Apr 1467)
==Biography==Sir Robert was the last "Danvers of Ispwell" and a judge during the War of the Roses. He was born about 1400, son of John Davers of Ispwell, Colthorpe and Prestcote, and his first wife Alice Verney, daughter and heir of William Verney of Byfield.
According to Memorials of the Danvers family (of Dauntsey and Culworth), by F.N. Macnamara:https://books.google.be/books?id=NkAIAwAAQBAJ&pg=PA116
:"Sir Robert's second wife was Katherine, widow of William Fetiplace, sister to Drew Barentyne, of Great Haseley, Oxon. In many of the genealogies of the family she is spoken of as a daughter of Fetiplace, but the Berkshire Visitations and other documents afford conclusive evidence that her maiden named was Barentyne."
Macnamara names her father as Drugo Barentyne, whose will is published in "Ancient Lincoln Wills" (1888), and mentions both his son Drugo and his daughter Katherine married to William Fetiplace, and a daughter Margaret married to John Cotysmore.
This second wife was the mother, according to that work, of Robert's youngest daughter, Joan, who was ten years old at the time her father died, as mentioned in the inquisition post mortem. Sir Robert's will was made 15 April 1467, 2 days before he died.

:"[[Danvers-49|Robert]] continued to sit as judge during the reign of Henry VI., and was, notwithstanding the Lancastrian tendencies of his house, reappointed on the accession of Edward IV. in the year 1461. Moreover, he was one of the noblemen and gentlemen who were chosen for the honour of knighthood on the occasion of the coronation, of the Queen. His relatives, [[Saye-45|John Say]] and John Plomer were also amongst those who were knighted — * knights of the sworde ' Metcalfe, in his ' Book of Knights,' calls them ; but we have' not been able to discover any other * order of the sworde ' than a Swedish order founded in 1628, and refounded in 1748."Memorials of the Danvers family (of Dauntsey and Culworth), pg 109 [https://archive.org/stream/memorialsdanver00macngoog#page/n151/mode/2up]
