Margaret Stodeye, Lady Philipot

[3] Margaret was the second of four daughters of vintner and politician John Stodeye and his wife Joan, née Gisors.

Joan, who entered Brembre's custody on her father’s death, went on to marry royal officer Thomas Goodlake in 1379.

[5] By March 1376 she had married her second husband, fishmonger and major landowner John Philipot, who was a colleague of Brembre’s.

In his will he provided Margaret with a life estate, at the expense of his grown-up children, and made her responsible for some of the religious bequests in his will.

These connections led to Margaret’s sister Idonia marrying her second husband, Sir Baldwin Raddington, a member of the king's household.

Bamme helped Margaret to escape debt-payments and to recover money from Sir John Philipot's estate as well as some of Brembre's property.

Her will makes no mention of her first or third husbands or of her three children by Berlingham, but she involved her youngest son Richard Bamme in property conveyances from 1407 and left all her London holdings to him on her death in 1431.
