      Katherine Mylde Tendring

      Birth: 1343
      Clare
      Suffolk, England
      Death: Jun. 18, 1403
      Stoke by Nayland
      Suffolk, England

      Daughter of William Mylde of Suffolk.

      Wife of Sir Thomas Clopton (de Clopone) of Kentwell Estate, son of Walter Clopton and Alice FitzHugh. They had two sons; Thomas and William.

      Secondly, the wife of Sir William de Tendring of Stokes-By-Nayland, the son of John Tendring and Maud de Kerdeston. They were married after October 12, 1383 and had one daughter, Alice, who would marry Sir John Howard, the Sheriff of Essex.

      Katherine died at Tendring Hall.

      Through her second marriage she became the distant grandmother of three queens of England: two of the unfortunate wives of Henry the VIII, Ann Boleyn and Catherine Howard, and Queen Elizabeth I. Dame Katherine, who died in 1403, is buried at the Church of St. Mary the Virgin, Stoke-by-Nyland, Suffolk. Their memorial brasses are among the finest in England. The Clopton Arms: ermine spot on the bend in base may be seen on the mantle of the depiction of Dame Katherine.

      Katherine willed the Kentwell estate to her son, William de Cloptone.

      Sir Thomas Clopton and Katherine Mylde are depicted in stained glass in Holy Trinity Church at Long Melford.
