Margaret Stainforth
Margaret Stainforth, whose ancestry is unknown (or not traced here), married as one of his two possible wives, Sir Richard Tempest, Knt., son of Sir Richard Tempest, Knt. and Maria Talbot.1
It appears Sir Richard Tempest, Knt. probably had two wives, at least one of whom was Margaret Stainforth.The first wife (which may have been Margaret), "was taken by our Scots enemies. . . ." The abduction could have occurred anytime after 8 Rich II (1384/5) and probably closer to the date the event was recorded, 1 Hen IV (1399/1400). Further information about the abduction or it's outcome is lacking, and who was the mother of Richard's children is impossible to know with certainty.2,1,3
