English: Monumental brass of John de Lisle, 5th Baron Lisle (1366-1408), Thruxton Church, Hampshire. Published in Whitehead, J L Genealogical and Other Notes Relating to the De Insula, otherwise De L'Isle, De LIsle, or Lisle Family, pp.111-139, Proceedings of the Hampshire Field Club & Archaeological Society, Volume 6, Part 1 1907[1]. Arms of Lisle of Wootton, Isle of Wight: Or, on a chief azure three lions rampant of the first. Impaling the arms of his wife a certain Elizabeth, of unknown family, but "presumably the heiress or co-heiress" of the manor of Thruxton, Hampshire (G. E. Cokayne, The Complete Peerage, n.s., Vol.VIII, p.43): A chevron between three heathcocks (or martlets). "Precisely when the Cormeilles family parted with the manor (of Thruxton) and how the Lisles acquired it has not been discovered, but Sir John de Lisle, who died in 1407, desired to be buried in the church".^[1] Also the arms of de Lisle impaling Courtenay, possibly for the marriage of the 3rd Baron Lisle to Elizabeth de Courtenay, a daughter of Hugh de Courtenay, 3rd Earl of Devon (unless for a second unknown wife of the 5th Baron) (Complete Peerage, Vol.VIII, pp.43-4). Inscribed in brass around the edge of the slab: Sub lapide isto jacent pie memorie dominus Johannes Lysle miles, dominus de Wodynton in insula Vecta et Domina Elizabeth Lysle uxor ejus. Idem dominus Johannes obiit ultimo die mensis Januarii anno domini millesimo cccc viio Eorum anime pace fruantur eterna Amen. (VCH)
