"The petition of Ann Pympe in the I of Henry VII for the reversal of said John Gower's attainder contains much information on the pedigree of that family. She describes her self as 'Ann Pympe daughter of Reginald Pympe and of Elizabeth, his late wife, cousin and heir of John Gower, late of Clapham in Surrey, Esquire, now dead. That is to say the daughter of said Elizabeth, daughter of Lowys, sister of the same John' who she states lost all of his lands and good supporting Henry VI, at Palm Sunday Field, and afterward attending the late Prince of Wales at Tewkesbury Field was taken and slain. [Note: this was during the War of the Roses between the houses of Lancaster and York.] From her petition, which was successful, and the will of Thomas Gower in 1458, in is manifest that the said John and Thomas Gower, and William and Isabel Paselse all died without issues before 1485, and the petitioner Ann Pympe, became the heiress of Passele and Gower families of Clapham."
