Notes:

Michael de Poynings, 2nd baron, summoned to parliament from 25 February, 1342, to 24 February, 1368. Upon the decease of the last lord, the king, by his letters patent dated the 14th of the same month, acknowledging his great valour and eminent merits and reciting that he was slain in his service, received the homage of the present baron though then under age; and in recompense of those, his father's, sufferings, not only granted him livery of his lands but the full benefit of his marriage, taking security for the payment of his relief. This Michael, Lord Poynings, participated in the glories of the reign of Edward III, and was amongst the heroes of Cressy. His lordship m. Joane, dau. of Sir Richard Rokesley, and widow of Sir John de Molyns, Knt., and d. in 1369; he was s. by his son, Thomas de Poynings, 3rd baron.

Notes:

It's quite possible that Sir Richard de Rokesley (b. ca. 1295) is the son of Richard de Rokesley (b. ca. 1270), father of Agnes who m. Thomas de Poynings -- their ages are certainly right -- but -- if this is the case, then Joan, who m. Michael de Poynings married the son of her aunt, i.e., her nephew.

Richard married Joan de Criol. Joan (daughter of Bertram de Criol and Eleanor de Crevequer) was born about 1270 in Westwood, Preston, Kent, England. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
