| Notes |
- The wife of Robert Austen, of Adisham, was not buried nor died on or about 25 Oct 1538. That Elizabeth is clearly defined in the Parish Register of Adisham as being a child. The death/burial of Robert Austen's wife is unknown but can be dated at sometime between 1514, the calculated date of the birth of her last child but before 23 Nov 1544, the date of Robert Austen's Will. Also, in every reliable source Robert Austen's wife's name is unknown. So, there is even no clear evidence that her name was Elizabeth. As Richard's first daughter is named Edith and his second daughter is named Elizabeth and as Agnes a'Denne's mother's name is also unknown, Richard's wife could be either Edith or Elizabeth. Only finding her mentioned as the wife of Robert Austen in her own father's Will will prove what her name was.
Anyone who has connected her to a Dutch woman and then claims that woman to be a noblewoman is entirely wrong. Her father Peiter was not a nobleman, either. He was a castellan of the Loevestein castle in the what is now the Netherlands. Usually the duties of a castellan consisted of military responsibility for the castle's garrison, maintaining defences and protecting the castle's lands, combined with the legal administration of local lands and workers including the castle's domestic staff. If this was a true connection to Robert Austin KAS would have the details. A search of their website through the Google site search confirms the opposite through the absence of any such information. Additionally, the Adisham article researched and written by Edward Hasted fails to mention any of the Austen's by name even though they rented Court-Lodge on the manor. Had there been a noble connection Hasted would definitely have mentioned that connection. The article can be read on British History Online.
