The reference for Elizabeth Savage's marriage contract is:
Cheshire and Chester Archives and Local Studies Service
Catalogue ref. DCH/E/291 [13 Jan. 1458/9]
In this record Elizabeth Savage is labeled daughter of John Savage the
younger, esq.
Three successive John Savages that apply to the identification of her father
have death dates of [according to Peter Leycester's Historical Antiquities]:
1. primo die Augusti, 28 Hen. 6 (1450)
2. 29 die Junii, 3 Edw. 4 (1463)
3. 22 Novembris, 11 Hen. 7 (1495)
In 1458 [the year of Elizabeth Savage's marriage agreement], John Savage the
younger would have been the third, who died in 1495. Other of his daughters
married in 1467 [Ellen Savage to Peter Legh] and 1479 [Katharine Savage to
Thomas Legh].
Mention of the Oct. 1464 marriage covenant of Dulcia Savage and Henry Bold
is to be found on p. 405, footnotes 7 & 12, of VCH Lancaster 3. Henry Bold
supported the Lancastrian cause alongside of his grandfather Savage and the
Stanley relations.
If this identification holds up to scrutiny then, as I said earlier, the
Eltonhead descendants would have an improved royal descent from Edward I.
