      ; Ancestral to Queen Elizabeth II are the Aspal family of Stonham Aspal, Suffolk.

Few printed pedigrees of the family have appeared, while those that have (such as that in volume II of Copinger's Suffolk) are highly inaccurate. The family details contained in the ODNB entry for Geoffrey de Aspale are also incorrect.

A first draft of the family's pedigree follows; in presenting it I would like to record my thanks to Rosie Bevan for her kind assistance, as ever - needless to add, all errors remain my own.

     John de Aspal was born after 1270.¹

     Joan Fitzwilliam married Henry Sothill.^1,2

      ; John Ravilious and Rosie Bevans have documented that Joan Fitzwilliam who m.
Henry Sothill was the dau of Sir William Fitzwilliam (d. 8 Apr 1398) and
Maud Cromwell (d. aft 1415). This ended much confusion, since many placed
them several generations earlier. They also identified Henry's gr-father as
Sir Henry Sothill (d. bef 1376), who m. Dionisia ? (d. aft 1398). She m.(2)
Sir Thomas Markenfield (d. bef 1385/86), but her parents were unknown.

Dionisia is identified as the dau of Sir William Fitzwilliam of Elmley in a
uniquely long description of Sir Thomas Markenfield's tomb in Ripon
Cathedral (from Walbran's 1856 'Guide to Ripon, Harrogate, Fountains Abbey
etc') http://books.google.com/books?id=tLYHAAAAQAAJ&pg=PA40. It is unclear
if his identification was based on more than Markenfield's arms :

"In the aisle of the north transept - the groining of which, still lingering
with the square bay and flat dividing arch, merits notice, on account of its
early character - was formerly the chantry of Saint Andrews: the piscina, a
roundly trifoliated aperture, with a projecting basin, remaining in the
south wall. This chapel was also the burial-place of the Markenfields, of
Markenfield, near this city; but no other memorial of them now remains in
it, except a fine altar-tomb of Sir Thomas Markenfield, a warrior in the
time of Richard II, and Dionisia his wife, daughter of Sir William
Fitzwilliam, of Elmley. He is vested in a complete suit of armor, and wears
a collar, which exhibits the design of a park-pale and a stag couchant,
above the elongated, but depressed, pales in front. His arms '(argent) on a
bend (sable) 3 bezants' are sculptured on his breast, and on the hilt of his
richly decorated sword; as well as repeated, impaling Fitzwilliam [last wife] and Miniot [1st wife], in a series of 15 shields, graven round the
tomb, commemorative of the alliances of his powerful and chivalrous race."

Dionisia 'relicta' is on a 9 Mar 1399 Nomination to Chantry (see JT Fowler's
'Memorials of the Church of SS. Peter and Wilfrid, Ripon' Vol 4 page 177-8
http://books.google.com/books?id=vTSsM-1Hob4C&printsec=frontcover#PRA2-PA177,M1).
Several documents in earlier SGM posts indicate that Henry Sothill's father
(identified as Henry Esq., d.aft 1410) paid rent to Dionisia aft she
remarried Markenfield abt 1376. In 1410 Henry Sothill's father granted land
back to the Fitzwilliams prior to the m. of Joan and Henry, indicating
Dionisia was d. by then. If Dionysia was a Fitzwilliam, it might explain
some of the transactions.

The earliest evidence of Dionisia's son Henry Esq. suggests he was b. bef
1349, making it likely Dionisia was b. bef 1330. (see PRO website FILE - [no title] - ref. DD/SR/209/321 - date: 1369 Contents Grant: Thomas de Roos,
Lord of Hamelak, to Henry de Sothill, rent of 10 marks. Manor of ?, Yorks).
The only person named Sir William of Elmsley of father age near Dionisia's
birthdate, was executed at Pontrefact 22 Mar 1322, with any family for him
previously unknown. If this Sir William is Dionisia's father and his mother
was Isabel Deincourt, Henry and Joan were 3rd cousins. But since Dionisia is
not named in Isabel's extensive will, this suggests that Sir William - if it
is he - was by a different mother albeit the same father as Isabel's son Sir
John.
