Christopher Conyers of Hornby, Yorkshire (d. 1461 x 1465) was a member of the fifteenth century English gentry, prominent in the local politics of northern England (specifically Yorkshire) and the early years of the Wars of the Roses.
[1] The son and heir of John Conyers of Hornby (d. c. 1412), he married Ellen, the daughter of Roleston in November 1415.
[1] This standing is also reflected in his acting as a feoffee for local man John Waddesford of Kirklington, North Yorkshire,[2] and bearing witness to the exchange of deeds in a property exchange between Richard Clairvaux and John, Lord Scrope of Bolton.
The same year, Conyers acted as feoffee to uses of Salisbury's will,[1] (due to Salisbury's appointment to royal service in France, in the latter days of the Hundred Years' War) which meant that if his mother died whilst the earl was abroad, her estates would be controlled by Conyers and others on Salisbury's behalf, rather than temporarily returning to the king.
[4] In 1464 he was commissioned (alongside Salisbury's son, the earl of Warwick, and Lords Greystoke and Fitzhugh) to recapture castles in Northumberland (Bamburgh, Alnwick and Dunstanburgh) that were held by the remnants of the Lancastrian army.
