Grace de Roos was the wife of Philip de Tilney, Knt., of Boston, Lincolnshire, and, in right of his wife, of Lonedon (in Tydd St. Mary), Lincolnshire, and Ringborough in Holderness, Yorkshire, Knight of the Shire for Lincolnshire, deputy butler, Boston, Sheriff of cos. Cambridge and Huntingdon, Chief steward of the duchy of Lancaster for the North Parts, Steward to Bishop Fordham of Ely, Alderman of Corpus Christi guild, Boston, Lincolnshire. As I recall, there is a biography of Sir Philip Tilney in Roskell's House of Parliament which you gentlemen might wish to consult.

I've had difficulty proving Grace Roos' parentage, so I'm glad this charter has surfaced. The previous owner in title at both Ringborough and Tydd St. Mary was John de Roos, who was evidently Grace's grandfather, not her father as I thought was the case.

• Web Reference: Charter concerning the manor of Loveden, Lincolnshire, 1378 from Some Notes on Medieval Englsih Genealogy.
The grantee, Grace de Roos, later married Sir Philip Tilney, of Boston, Lincolnshire (d. 1394). The manor was later known as that of Tilney Hall, alias Lovedens.

This indenture attests that we Roger de Kirketon, knight, Robert Bernak, John de Haugh and Thomas de la Launde have demised, delivered and by this our present indented charter have confirmed to Grace the daughter of Richard the son of John de Roos of Tydd.
