Notes for John Hotoft
I wonder if there is any connection with the Hotofts whose ancestor was the Domesday Odard de Hotot? CF K-R's DP 307 and DD 520.

The Arundell family history, p. 224, includes a James Tyrell of Columbine Hall, Stowmarket, Suffolk who m. an Anne, dau. and coh. of John Hottoft of Columbine hall, Suffolk. Any connection?

The VCH for Herts, vol 3, pp. 111-118, includes this paragraph:
“John Hotoft was holding Knebworth in 1428, (fn. 51) and in 1430–1 received a release of all right in the manor from William Perers. (fn. 52) In 1440 he settled it on himself for life, with remainder to his daughter Idonia, wife of Sir John Barre, and her heirs. (fn. 53) Sir John Barre died in 1483, and was succeeded by his daughter Isabel, widow of Humphrey Stafford Earl of Devon, who married secondly Thomas Bourghchier. (fn. 54) Isabel and Thomas settled Knebworth on themselves in the same year, (fn. 55) and again in 1491, (fn. 56) and afterwards sold the reversion to Robert Lytton, (fn. 57) to whose son William Lytton two-thirds of the manor came upon Thomas Bourghchier's death in 1492, (fn. 58) one-third being claimed by Anne, Thomas's second wife, who survived him and was living in 1519. (fn. 59) William Lytton died in 1517, leaving an infant son Robert”
I am not sure that this supports that John Hotoft’s daughter Agnes married Robert Lytton.
