Biography
Jenet (Janet) Elizabeth Bozom (aka Elizabeth Bosome) was born in 1420 at Bozom-Zeal, a village in South Tawton Parish, near the town of Dartmouth, Devonshire, England. Her father was Sir John Bozom of an old local family who were lords of the manor at "Bosums Hele" (its old Saxon name). Mentioned in the Domesday book of 1086, the manor, whose name meant "Bosum's hideout," was a monastery in the early Middle Ages. Elizabeth's mother was his wife, Joan Fortescue.
In 1439 at 19 years old, Elizabeth was married to Sir Baldwin Fulford, knight, of Great Fulford, Devon. He was born in about 1415 and was the son and heir of Sir Henry II de Fulford and his wife, Wilhelma (Brian) Fulford. They married at her father's manor of Bozom-Zeal.
Sir Baldwin and Elizabeth Fulford had 4 children together:
1.) Sir Thomas Fulford, heir: b. ca. 1440; d. 20 Feb 1490
2.) Alice Fulford, b. ca. 1443; m. Sir William Cary of Cockington who d. 1471.
3.) Thomasine Fulford, b. ca. 1444; m. John Wise, Esq., of Sydenham.
4.) John Fulford, b. ca. 1446, became Canon of Exeter Cathedral, Devon.
They lived at the Fulford estate in Great Fulford, Devonshire. After her pro-Lancastrian husband was caught by Yorkist followers of newly-proclaimed King Edward IV and beheaded for treason, in September 1461 at Bristol, during the War of the Roses, a bitter civil war that lasted 25 years, pitting pro-Lancaster vs. pro-York factions fighting over which group would rule England, Elizabeth may have retreated to her father's country manor on the Dart River. Within a year she remarried Sir William Huddersfield, Justice of the Peace for Devonshire. They had one daughter, Katharine Huddersfield, born around 1463. Sir William was not opposed to pro-York King Edward IV and on May 22, 1477, was named the King's Attorney General.
Jenet Elizabeth (Bozom, Fulford) Huddersfield, died around this time as most family genealogies say she died before 1478. She died either at Shillingford, Sir William's family estate; or at Bosom-Zeal, her ancestral home, both in Devonshire. Her second husband went on to marry Catherine Courtenay, daughter of Sir Philip de Courtenay, Sheriff of Devonshire and a descendant of Plantagenet royalty, in October 1479. He died in 1499, having served both King Edward IV and his successor King Henry (Tudor) VII as Attorney General.
Jenet married Sir Baldwin FULFORD [4105] [MRIN: 4725], son of Henry FULFORD II [6741] and Wilhelma LANGDON [6742], in 1439 in Bosumzeal, Devon, England.1132 (Sir Baldwin FULFORD [4105] was born in 1415 in Great Fulford, , Devonshire, England 1133 and died on 9 September 1461 in Bristol, , Gloucestershire, England 1133.)
Jenet next married Sir William HUDDESFIELD [6748] [MRIN: 5462]. (Sir William HUDDESFIELD [6748] was born in 1436 in Shillingford, Devon, England,1134 died on 22 March 1499 in Shillingford, Devon, England 1134 and was buried on 22 March 1499 in Shillingford Saint George, Teignbridge District, Devon, England 1134.)
