Engraving of monumental brass (dated 1416) in St Margaret's Church, Felbrigg, Norfolk, of Sir Simon de Felbrigg (died 1442), Knight of the Garter, lord of the manor of Felbrigg, standard-bearer to King Richard II. With his first wife Margaret von Teschen (d.1416), a daughter of Przemysław I Noszak, Duke of Cieszyn/Teschen (1332/6-1410) (German: Przemislaus I von Teschen), a diplomat, statesman and courtier of of Charles IV, Holy Roman Emperor. Przemyslaus I Noszak, Duke of Cieszyn was buried in the Dominican church of Cieszyn (now in Poland), where survives his effigy. Przemysław I Noszak, Duke of Teschen was the third son of Casimir I, Duke of Teschen, by his wife Euphemia, daughter of Duke Trojden I of Czersk-Warsaw. The Duchy of Cieszyn/Teschen was one of the Duchies of Silesia, incorporated into the Lands of the Bohemian Crown in 1348. Margaret was a cousin and maid of honour of Princess Anne of Bohemia, the eldest daughter of Charles IV, Holy Roman Emperor and King of Bohemia, and wife of King Richard II of England. Margaret's father negotiated the marriage of Princess Anne and Richard II and Margaret traveled to England with Princess Anne as her lady-in-waiting. Arms of Duke of Cieszyn/Teschen: Azure, an eagle displayed or. Sir Simon de Felbrigge served as standard bearer to King Richard II, and his brass effigy holds the royal standard displaying the royal arms of King Richard II (Attributed arms of King Edward the Confessor impaling the royal arms of England). He was appointed a Knight of the Garter, and his brass displays the Garter affixed on his lower leg. Below the shields on the pendant boss of the canopy is Richard II's person badge of the white hart. He largely rebuilt Felbrigg Church, in which survive his coat of arms Or, a lion rampant gules (Burke, Sir Bernard, The General Armory, London, 1884, p.344), sculpted on the butresses of the nave and the spandrels of the west door into the tower. Also surviving in the church is the fetterlock badge, used by the House of York and its supporters, and later used as a crest of the Wyndham family of Felbrigg. (Source: Ketton-Cremer, R.W., Felbrigg, the Story of a House, 1986, p.19 (first published 1962)). The decade of death of Sir Simon de Felbrigge is left blank on the brass, and was never completed. He married secondly Catherine Mallory (d.1461), a daughter of Anketill Mallory of Winwick in Northamptonshire. Sir Simon de Felbrigge and his second wife were buried in the choir of the church of the Dominican Priory in Norwich (later known as Blackfriars' Hall, now known as St Andrew's Hall), of which they were benefactors. By his first wife Margaret von Teschen he had two daughters and co-heiresses, his only children:
