Biography

Anne Glemham was the daughter of John Glemham, Esq., of Glemham, Suffolk, and his second wife, Eleanor Brandon.^{[1][2][3][4][5]} Her date and place of birth are unknown and are estimated. Her parents married in 1466 and her mother died in 1480, so she was born sometime during that period.^[1]

Anne married Henry Palgrave, Esq., of Norfolk, son of John Palgrave, Esq., of Little Palgrave, Suffolk and Margaret Yelverton.^[1][4] The date and place of their marriage is unknown. They had twelve children, including five sons and four daughters:

• John,^[1] eldest son, died without issue before 1524^[3]
• Clement, Esq.,^[1] 2nd son, buried at Norwood Brenningham 30 April 1583, will dated 2 February 1575, proved 11 May 1583, married Margery Read (died 1566) and had issue^[3][4]
• James,^[1] 3rd son, died without issue^[3]
• Thomas, Gent., married Anne Gunton and had issue^[1] (Visitations call her Alice)^[3]
• Henry,^[1] died young, before his father^[3]
• Frances, wife of Sir William Pennington,^[1] of the North^[3]
• Anne, wife of Humphrey Smalpeece, Gent.,^[1] of Hockering, Norfolk^[3]
• Eleanor, a nun at Carrow Abbey,^[1][3]
• Elizabeth,^[1] died young^[3]
• 3 others^[1]

Henry Palgrave died 20 October 1516, leaving a will dated 11 September 1513, proved 14 January 1517/8. His will named his wife, Anne,^[1] as the joint executor with their son, John, and also named children Frances, Eleanor, Anne, Clement, Thomas and James.^[3] Both Henry and Anne were buried in the church of Barningham Norwood, Norfolk,^[1] where there is a monumental brass for Henry, Anne and their twelve children.^[4] Anne's date and place of death are unknown.

The brass to Henry Palgrave has four shields: (1) Palgrave, the lion rampant and gardant; (2) Palgrave impaling Glemham (wife of Henry); (3) Palgrave impaling (device defaced, but probably Yelverton, Henry's mother); and (4) Glemham impaling Brandon (Eleanor, daughter of Sir William Brandon, and mother of the wife of Henry Palgrave).^[4]

This profile was developed for the Magna Carta Project on 15 March 2021 by Thiessen-117 and reviewed/approved for the Project by Michael Cayley on 19 March 2021.

Anne (Glemham) Palgrave is listed in Magna Carta Ancestry in a Richardson-documented trail from Gateway Ancestor Richard Palgrave to Magna Carta Surety Baron Roger Bigod (vol. I, pages 297-303 BRANDON). This profile has also been identified in trails from Richard Palgrave to other surety barons, including Robert de Vere, Saher de Quincy, Hugh le Bigod, Richard de Clare, Gilbert de Clare and John de Lacy. All these trails were badged on 19 March 2021. See the Magna Carta Trails section of Edward Palgrave's profile to view the profiles in these trails.

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