Biography
[edit]The birthplace of Philip Fitz Lewes seems to have been lost to history but it is more than likely he was born in a major hub in southeastern England due to his nobleman status, such as London or Norwich. He married a woman by the surname of Turney in 1483 in Essex of which they had one child, a daughter named Anne.
It is also unknown if he married another woman named Joan. Despite the confirmation of only one child, it is believed that Philip likely had more children.[1]
