Little is known of the ancestry of the [[Yorkshire]] branch of the Calverts. At George Calvert's knighting, it was claimed that his family originally came from [[County of Flanders|Flanders]].Browne, p. 2. Calvert's father, Leonard of Yorkshire, was a country gentleman who had achieved some prominence as a tenant of [[Philip Wharton, 3rd Baron Wharton|Lord Wharton]],Krugler, p. 28. and was wealthy enough to marry a "[[gentlewoman]]" of a noble line, Alicia or Alice Crossland (sometimes spelt "Crosland"). Leonard established his family on the estate of the later-built [[Kiplin Hall]], near [[Catterick, North Yorkshire|Catterick]] in [[Yorkshire]].Browne, p. 3. George Calvert was born at Kiplin in late 1579. His mother Alicia/Alice died on 28 November 1587, when he was eight years old. His father then married Grace Crossland (sometimes spelt: "Crosland"), Alicia's [[first cousin]]. |
