Philip Fitz Lewes or Philip Fitzlewes (c. 1430–1492) was a 15th-century English Nobelman who served as the Lord Warden and Constable of Dover Castle from 1488 to 1492 under Henry VII.
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]
