  • Notes 
    • Early Life
      There's a possibility that Walter Wingfield was the son of Sir John Wingfield of Letheringham and Elizabeth FitzLewis. They certainly had a son called Walter (eighth son) and the timing is right, but there's been no explicit proof that they are one and the same person. The link has also been suggested by Stirnet.

      For a continuation of the Elizabeth FitzLewis' line, see Magna Carta Ancestry1. The Wingfield family is in Burke's Peerage2 where Walter is explicitly shown as dsp. The Visitations of the North3 also shows Walter but with no children.

      Family Life
      Walter married ___ Fitzwilliam4,5.
