== Biography ==Margery le Despenser was born about 1398 (age 24 or 26 in 1424), daughter and sole heiress of Elizabeth de Tibetot of Nettlestead, Suffolk and her husband Sir Philip le Despenser of Goxhill, Lincs (now styled ''de jure'' 2nd Baron le Despenser).
She and Sir John Roos, 7th Lord Roos, Captain of Chateau Gaillard & Mantes were married as young children, a (retrospective?) Papal dispensation for consanguinity being issued 13 Sept. 1404. They had no issue.
Before 2 March 1423, Margery married (2nd) Roger Wentworth, the landless younger son of a Yorkshire lawyer, John Wentworth of North Elmsall, Esq. and his wife Agnes Dronsfield. Because of the difference in social status, they married secretly and without royal license, for which offense she is said to have been fined £1000, a humongous sum.
They had 3 sons (Sir Philip; Henry, Esq; & Thomas (a cleric)) and 3 daughters (Elizabeth, wife of John Calthorpe; Margaret, wife of Sir William Hopton; and Agnes, wife of Sir Robert Constable).
Margery le Despenser made a will on 30 August 1477. She died on 20 April 1478 at Nettlestead, Suffolk,} and was buried at Grey Friars, Ipswich, Suffolk. Her estate was probated on 28 May 1478.

----'''Magna Carta ancestry
Margery was a descendant of at least 3 Magna Carta Sureties (the Bigods and Malet) through her father, and a further 6 (the Clares, Quincy, Lacy, Ros, Albini) through her mother.
Margery was an ancestor of the following 42 colonial gateways:
* ''through son Sir Philip
** ''through Sir Philip's son Sir Henry*** Humphrey Davie, William and John Rodney, Henry and Charles Norwood, John and Elizabeth Harleston
** ''through Sir Philip's daughter Elizabeth de la See
*** William Farrar, William Asfordby, William Skepper
* ''through son Henry
** ''through Henry's son Sir Roger
*** Edmund Jennings, Sir Marmaduke Beckwith
** ''through Henry's daughter Margery Waldegrave*** Nathaniel Burrough, William Clopton, Anne Dearhaugh, Mary Jane Somerset, Jemima Waldegrave, 4 Kempes, 3 Butlers, Thomas Booth
* ''through daughter Margaret Hopton

*** George and Robert Brent, [[Peyton-434|Robert Peyton]]
* ''through daughter Agnes Constable

*** Philip and Thomas Nelson, Thomas Owsley
** ''through Agnes's daughter Anne Tyrwhitt
*** Major Richard Saltonstall and Olive Welby
** ''through Agnes's daughter Margaret Eure
*** George and Nehemiah Blakiston, Anne, Elizabeth and John Mansfield
** ''through Agnes's daughter Katherine Ryther
*** William Bladen, John and Philip Lightfoot
Total lines 9 x 44 = 396
Incidentally, the main reason why so many gateways descend from Margery is that Nettlestead was only a few miles from the Winthrop manor at Groton. Her descendants intermarried with their neighbours, and their neighbourhood was Winthrop's recruiting ground.
