Sir Richard Jenny

Does anyone have any definitive information on this Knight, evidently killed in the Towton campaign.

He is sometimes shown as a younger son of the Jenny family of East Anglia (either John or Sir William), yet I notice him elsewhere described as an illegitimate brother of the Earl of Warwick.

Would that be Hall's Bastard of Salisbury, said to have died at Ferrybridge?
If so, I've been trying to track him down myself, with no luck. The Nevills
acknowledged their bastards and brought them into the family circle (I'm
thinking Fauconberg's sons, Warwick's daughter Margaret and Alice, said by
some to be the illegitimate daughter of young George, who would have been no
more than 14 at the time of her birth, but more likely to be the daughter of
the older George Nevill, lord Latimer). On the purported Bastard of
Salisbury, the record is silent, apart from Hall, who was writing much later
and got some things a bit mixed up in places. (For instance, he has a son,
Henry, for lord & lady Fitzhugh, for instance, dying at Empingham, when
there's no other mention of him.) Though I lean on the 'he didn't exist'
side of the ledger, the Bastard of Salisbury is such a useful character that
he's got a part in my wips (with an accompanying para in the author's note).
If he didn't exist, he should have!

this info may help you.
 (Research):History of the Bye Family" by Arthur E. Bye....The Janneys, who became one of he most prominent families of early Bucks County, had been settled at Wilmslow since the thirteenth century. A family of the same name had been seated in Norfolk from earlier times. The Janneys, or Gyneys were Lords of the Manor of Haverland in Norfolk; there the name was writtn Guynes, Genys, Jennings, Jenny, and Janney. Bloomfield, in his "History of Norfolk" states the family was descended from the Counts of Guynes.

good luck
