  «b»Biography«/b»
  Isabel Brumpton married Sir Robert Franceys, Sheriff of Nottinghamshire & Derbyshire, son of Robert Francis and Cecily, after 1382.
  
  Prior to marrying Sir Robert, Isabel may have been first the wife of Thomas de Brumpton or Brympton of Eyton or Humfrey Halugton. Some pedigrees place her also as marrying Thomas Gech or Newport, but as that marriage took place before 1361, that Isabel is a different individual. The latter Isabel's husband, Thomas Gech, is called brother-in-law of the Adam Peshale who had brothers named Hamenet and Sir Richard ca 1377. Also, the elder Isabel was still married to Thomas Gech in 1398, whereas this Isabel would have already been married to Thomas le Brympton (d. 1382) by this time. Thomas Gech the elder died between 1398 and 1401, and his son Thomas was married to a Margaret in 1402.
  
  Because of the confusion between the two Isabels, she was thought to have been the daughter of Sir Adam de Peshale and sister of another Sir Adam. However, her origin is at present unknown.
  
  A pedigree in Walter Chetwynd's "History of Pirehill Hundred" (see Collections for a History of Staffordshire, shows Isabel as married to Humphrey Halughton, marryiing subsequently "Sir Rob. Francis."
  
  "By fine of 1428, Nicholas Rikhull and Isabel his wife surrendered Halughton manor, and 1/3 of the moiety of High Offley manor (which Anne, widow of Robert de Halughton held in dower), and the manor of Dokeseye; 2 parts of a moiety of High Offley manor, etc., which Isabel, widow of Sir Robert Franceys, Kt., held for life of the inheritance of Isabel, wife of Nicholas Rikhull, and which after the death of Anne and Isabel ought to revert to Nicholas de R. and Isabel; to remain to the complainants, of whom Roger Flour was one, and to the heirs of John Harpur (another of them), for which N. de R. and Isabel received 500 silver marcs.
  
  The Pleas of 8 H. V. show Isabella, the widow of Humfrey Halugton, acting as his executrix; she had then been remarried to Sir Robt. Frauncys; the other Isabella, wife of Nicholas Rykhill, sued in 10 H.V. as the kinswoman and nearest heir of Sir Tho. de Halugton, for High Offley manor - against Isabella Franceys, but the descent of Isabella Rickhill was never given in court (as the defendant unfortunately did not appear) - so how Offley came to the Bourchiers is not plain (Chetwynd).
  
  It is worth note that the same Roger Flour (who was one of John Harpur's coadjutors in the fine of 1428) acted as one of the general attorneys for Sir Wm. Bourchier, Kt., when an indenture of dower on Ingestre manor was signed by Sir Rob. Fraunceys and Humphrey Halugton, on the one part, and Elizabeth, the widow of Wm. Chetwynd, on the other, in 1418. We have thus Sir R. Francis associated with Humfrey Halughton, whose widow he afterwards married; and Roger Flour (Sir Wm. B's. general attorney) during the life-time of Anne, widow of Robt. de Halughton, and of Isabel, formerly widow of R. Francis, acquiring for 500 marks the reversion of Anne and Isabel (Haughton's) lands which shortly passed to Sir Wm. Bourchier)\emdash including Isabel Rickhill's claims."
  
  Isabel Fraunceys died after 1436.
  
  An indenture of ca. 1439 names her as cousin to Isabell Shatton who married John Lathebury and whose daughter Katherine married John's son, also named John Lathebury.
