Unfortunately, 1050815Agnes' early life—including who her parents were—is entirely unknown.

A 1388 court record mentions 1050815Agnes and her husband 1050814John Salerne, and is the earliest record I've found that mentions her.1 (The History of Parliament, which is generally recognized as a reliable resource, states that 1050815Agnes and 1050814John had actually married sometime before April 1379, although I've been unable to determine which source they cite to support this claim.2) For more information on their lives together, etc., see his profile since that information won't be repeated here.

1050815Agnes was still living in February 14053 but had died by November 1415.4 She might have died by circa 1407, but the evidence is unclear. (An undated chancery record mentions her as deceased. This chancery record might have been created circa 1407.5)

Her husband requested to be buried in All Saints Church in Iden, East Sussex,4 so perhaps 1050815Agnes is buried there, too, but this is uncertain.
