Life
Leget was the son and heir of Helming Leget of Hadleigh, Suffolk, and London, who died in 1391. His mother was Leget's second wife, Margery Malwayn, a daughter of John Malwayn of West Grafton, Wiltshire. Leget married Alice Mandeville before September 1400, also of Black Notley, Essex. Alice lived from c.1378 to 1 April 1420, outliving her husband. They had one son.

He was appointed High Sheriff of Essex and Hertfordshire for 1403 and 1408, and elected a Member of Parliament for Essex in 1406 and 1407.
