Hi there,
Just remembered about this query of yours. I have the following notes on Sapcotes, a work in progress that never got completed, but perhaps some of it will be of use
Marie
:-
1471-85 – John Sapcote was an esquire of the Body.
Note. On 13 October 1471 he began an 8-week tour of duty alongside Thomas Howard, John Cheney and John Wykes (Black Book, p.199).
7 November 1471 – Richard Sapcote was appointed escheator of Northampton and Rutland (CFR vol xxi item 83).
Early November 1475 – John Sapcote was appointed Sheriff of Rutland (E 404/76/1/63).
17 November 1475 – King Edward issued a warrant to the Exchequer for the payment to John Sapcote of £14 6s 8d to cover his costs as sheriff for the coming year (E 404/76/1/63).
Note. This compares very unfavourably with the £100 awarded that same month to Roger Wake as Sheriff of Northants (E 404/76/1/58) and William Basset as Sheriff of Nottingham and Derby (E 404/76/1/60), but then Rutland is England's smallest county.
10 January 1476 – John Sapcote's house at Elton was broken into by a Devon man named Richard Lord, who stole from him a purse containing a gold ring set with a diamond between two rubies, worth 20 marks (TNA KB 8/1 M44).
16 March 1478 – John Sapcote was appointed to Clarence's IPM for Rutland (CPR p. 109).
Note. A fellow commissioner was Guy Wolston – given the first name, could he have been related?
20 April 1478 - John Sapcote was appointed to Clarence's revised IPM for Rutland (CPR p. 111).
4 April 1479 – "Robert Stanhope and Margaret his wife, to William Sapcote esquire, her heirs and assigns. Release and quitclaim with warranty of the manor of Covyngton co Huntingdon, with all lands and tenements thereto pertaining. Date 4 April, 19 Edward IV." (CCR no 624)

In adition, Anne was the heiress of her childless aunt Agnes Lexham, the widow of Sir John Cheyne (d. long before Bosworth) and Edward Molyneux (d.1484) and the mistress of Chenies Isenhampton in Buckinghamshire (built by Sir John c.1460).
In addition to these lands lying stratgeically between his stewardship of Fotheringhay and Margaret Beaufort's Lincolnshire estates, Philipp acquired a young stepson, Guy Sapcote, and possibly a baby stepdaughter, Anne Sapcote. (www.cb5.co.uk/davidphelip.htm; RP)

January 1497 (parl beginning) – Philipp's stepson, Guy Sapcote, successfully petitioned Parliament for the liftingl of his father's attainder. , contained the proviso:-
"And over that the kyng oure sovereigne lord, by thassent of his lordis spirituall and temporall and comens in this present parliament assembled, and by auctorite of the same, ordeyneth, stablissheth and enactith, that David Philip, squier for his body, and Anne his wyfe, have, possede and enjoye, to the same David and Anne, the manoirs of Thornehaugh, Syberton, Walmesford, Stibyngton, Sibiston, in the counties of North' and Hunt'; to have and to holde all the seid manoirs, with their appurtenaunces, and othre londes, tenementis, medowes, pastures, closures, woodis, rentis and revercions, commens, waters, fisshynges, and othre hereditamentis in the seid Thornehaugh, Siberton, Sibiston, Stibington and Walmesford aforseid, for terme of lyfe of the seid David, without empechement of wast; and aftir the decesse of the seid David, to remayne to the seid Anne, and to the heires of hir body begoten; and for defaute of suche issue, to remayne to the right heires of the same Anne for ever.

Thanks, Marie. This gives me a few more nuggets of information; I can now be certain that William was killed at Bosworth.
Some sources have him living until 1510, but the Visitations pedigree usually now used for the family is largely discredited.
I think I now have the basic family outline, with the major exception being the relationship between Richard the Elder and the John who married Elizabeth Dynham. John cannot be a descendant of Richard, as that would mean that his brother Thomas married his own aunt.
Sir Richard the Elder dsp 1477 m
Isabella Plessington of Burley (widow of John Francis)
John of Elton (not son, possibly
brother) m Joan Wolston and had 3 sons:
1st son - Sir John of Elton d1501 m
Elizabeth Dynham
Sir Richard the Yonger d1543 m Alice Vaux
& Christiana Hungerford
Robert d1601 m Katherine &
Eleanor Prestland
3 daughters m Sapcote, Molyneux
& Harrington
2nd son - Thomas of Burley d1502 m
Joan Francis of Burley (daughter of Isabella Plessington above)
Edward dsp1547 m Jane
Quadring; 3 sisters m Durrant, Wake & Brokesby
3rd son - William d1510 m Anne
Semark of Thornhaugh
Sir Guy m Margaret Wolston
2 daughters Elizabeth dsp; Anne m Broughton, Jerningham
& Russell
