Biography

Audrey was the only daughter of Philip Booth^[1] and his first wife Margaret Hopton.^[2][3] Her birth date is uncertain and has been guesstimated, based on her marriage date and the birth dates of her children. Her parents had lands in Essex and Suffolk^[2][3] so she may have been born in one of those counties.

In 1497/8 Audrey married William Lytton,^[1] son of Robert Lytton and his first wife Agnes Rede.^[2][3] They had at least two children:

• Robert,^[1] born in about 1511 (he was said to be 6 at his father's death in 1517), who married Frances Calverley^[2][3]
• Rowland,^[1] born in about 1515, who married, first, Margaret Tate, and second, Anne Carleton^[2][3]

Audrey's husband died in 1517. She survived him, dying on 11 April 1519.^[2][3] Her death place is not known: it was possibly Knebworth, Hertfordshire, which had become her husband's main residence, but he also had lands elsewhere.

This profile was re-reviewed for the Magna Carta Project by Michael Cayley on 26 June 2023.

Audrey (Booth) Lytton is listed in Magna Carta Ancestry in a Richardson-documented trail between Gateway Ancestor Henry Isham and Magna Carta Surety Baron Robert de Ros (vol. II, pages 461-462 ISHAM) that was project-approved/badged in March 2016 by a Magna Carta project member. This profile also appears in trails that were badged in 2015/2016 from Gateway Henry Isham to other surety barons, including: William d'Aubigny, Gilbert de Clare, Richard de Clare, John de Lacy and Saher de Quincy. This profile also appears in trails between Henry Isham and Hugh le Bigod, Roger le Bigod and William Malet: these trails were badged in November 2022. All of these trails are set out in the Magna Carta Trails section of the Gateway's profile.

See Base Camp for more information about Magna Carta trails. See the project's glossary for project-specific terms, such as a "badged trail".
