Eighteenth Generation Michael Petyt , Lord of Treverth
This John Petyt, first Petyt
Lord of Ardevora, was the son of Michael Petyt, Lord of Treverth. Michael was born about 1330 and was
the eldest son of John Petyt, Lord of Treverth. Michael Petyt
married Amicia Bloyou. Amicia was the daughter and heiress of
Sir John Bloyou and Margaret Tynten, daughter of Sir John Tynten
[1]
. Through her mother Margaret, Amicia Bloyou
inherited quite extensive Tynten lands from her grandfather and
these swelled the Petyt Patrimony and descended to her son John
Petyt, Lord of Ardevora. Michael Petyt had also been given the
manor of Pradannack Wartha, in Cornwall, by his father, John Petyt,
Lord of Treverth
[2]
. This Michael Petyt would have been too young
to render service as an MP for Cornwall in the reign of Edward
III in 1340. This other Michael may have been an uncle of Michaels. Michael probably died in 1383 in Cornwall, aged about fifty.
[1]
Lake asserts that this Michael Petyt married Amicia l’Arkdekne,
daughter of Thomas le Arkedekne of Ruan Lanihorne in Cornwall.
However, this is without verification. The identification of
Amicia Bloyou, above, is dependant on an indenture of John Tynten
settling the estates. See Visitations of Cornwall.
[2]
These lands were given to Michael which had been formerly
held by the Bishop of Exon. This manor was held in socage of
the King in 1456 by Michael’s descendants and of the castle
of Launceston, and the Earl of Cornwall. |
