Alice Haute, Lady Fogge (c.1444 – 6/16 August 1512) was an English noblewoman. She was the second wife of Sir John Fogge, and is thought to be the great-grandmother of Catherine Parr the sixth wife of King Henry VIII of England.
Alice was born on around 1444 in Kent, England as the daughter of William Haute (MP) (1390–1462 [1]) of Bishopsbourne, Kent, [2] an English politician, [3] [4] and Joan Wydeville, daughter of Richard Wydeville [5] [6] (1385–1441) (of Grafton, Northamptonshire and Maidstone, Kent) and his wife Joan Bittlesgate. Her mother was the sister of Richard Woodville, 1st Earl Rivers, making Alice a first cousin to Elizabeth Woodville, [6] [7] [8] Queen Consort to Edward IV of England.
Her father had already developed a friendship with her maternal grandfather, and having served again for the Shire in 1432 supported Wydeville at his election in 1433. Together they attended the council of spring 1434 at which Gloucester, complaining of the progress of the French war, fell into dissent with John of Lancaster, who could expect Wydeville's loyalty as his chamberlain. [9] Although his overseas service is not well understood, from the earlier 1430s onwards Haute held numerous commissions for array, musters for France, oyer and terminer, escapes from prisons, smuggling, etc. [10] and his continuing commissions for the peace. [11]
Alice had four sisters, and three brothers. They were;[ citation needed]
When her cousin Elizabeth Woodville became queen, the consort brought her favorite female relatives to court. One of them was Alice, who served as a lady in-waiting to the queen during the 1460s. [12] [13]
In about 1458, Alice married Sir John Fogge as his second wife. He was an English courtier, soldier and supporter of the Woodvilles under Edward IV. He the son of John Fogge, esquire, [7] the second surviving son of Sir Thomas Fogge (d. 13 July 1407) and Joan de Valence (d. 8 July 1420). Their marriage carried the Haute manor of Ashenfield in Waltham. [14]
The couple had a son and three daughters:
On the Family Chronicle of Richard Fogge of Danes Court in Tilmanstone, it is mentioned in the Fogge family pedigree that the couple had four daughters, although only three were mentioned by name, so it is possible that the unspecified daughter is Joan. [24]
Alice Haute died of unknown causes on 6 or 16 August 1512 aged about 68, around the time her presumed great-granddaughter Catherine Parr was born. She was buried with her husband, and his first wife on the North side of the altar between the chancel, and Fogge Chapel at Ashford, St Mary's church. The original ornaments of their tomb have been stripped. However, a sketch of their memorial brasses still remains. [25]
