Dear Newsgroup ~
Isolde (died 1338), wife successively of Sir Walter de Balun (died 1287) and Sir Hugh de Audley, Lord Audley (died 1325) is claimed in many secondary sources to have been a member of Mortimer family. Two such sources which make the Mortimer claim include Complete Peerage 1 (1910): 347–348 (sub Audley) and James Horace Round, Studies in Peerage and Family History (1901): 206–209. While it is true that Isolde and her 1st husband, Sir Walter de Balun, had the manor of Arley, Staffordshire for the term of their lives by grant dated 1287 from Sir Edmund de Mortimer, such a grant does not necessarily mean, suggest, or imply that Isolde was a Mortimer. Beyond the numerous claims in print that Isolde was a Mortimer, I know of no contemporary evidence which supports this allegation.
What evidence we do have includes a contemporary inquisition dated 1326, which indicates that the manor of Eastington, Gloucestershire was settled on Sir Walter de Balun and Isolde his wife for life, and the heirs of her body. Following Sir Walter de Balun's death, Isolde and her 2nd husband, Sir Hugh de Audley, were afterwards seised of this manor. A pertinent part of the 1326 inquisition is copied below:
"Gloucestershire. — The Jurors find that Walter de Balun and Isolda his wife, by proceeding in the King's Court at Gloucester, had settled the Manor of Eastington on himself for life, and upon Isolda his wife and the heirs of her body. That by the operation of such settlement they had seisin of this Manor during the life of the said Walter, and then Isolda had seisin thereof as his widow, and that Isolda and Hugh d'Audley were also seised thereof, until the fifteenth of the present King, when the Manor passed into the King's hands as forfeited by the treason of the said Hugh d'Audley, and still continues in such custody. That the Manor was held of the heirs of Nicholas de Merley by half a Knights-fee, and was of the annual value of £20 15s." END OF QUOTE.

The above record proves that Isolde had the manor of Eastington, Gloucestershire settled on her and her heirs before the death of her first husband, Sir Walter de Balun. As such, in her 1st widowhood, she would have held claim to the manor of Eastington, Gloucestershire in her own right, not by right of dower.
In recent time, I have located a Common Pleas record dated 1289 which proves that Isolde was the daughter of Sir Roger le Rous [died 1294], of Harescombe and Duntisbourne, Gloucestershire, Sheriff of Gloucestershire, 1278–79, Sheriff of Herefordshire, 1293–94, Knight of the Shire for Gloucestershire, 1283, Knight of the Shire for Herefordshire, 1290, itinerant judge, by his wife, Eleanor de Avenbury.
Below is an abstract of this lawsuit:
In 1289 Isolde daughter of Roger le Rus sued Reynold de Balun in the Court of Common Pleas regarding the manor of Eastington, Gloucestershire, which she claimed as her right. Reference: Court of Common Pleas, CP40/78, image 650f (available at http://aalt.law.uh.edu/E1/CP40no78/aCP40no78fronts/IMG_0650.htm).
The plaintiff above is Isolde "daughter of Roger le Rus" who can only be Isolde, widow of Sir Walter de Balun, who then held the manor of Eastington, Gloucestershire in her own right. The defendant was Sir Walter de Balun's nephew and heir, Reynold de Balun. Isolde was presumably seeking a release from her late husband's nephew to any claim he might have to the manor of Eastington, Gloucestershire. A similar lawsuit was lodged against Reginald de Balun regarding Isolde's dower rights in Much Marcle, Herefordshire. See Year Books of Edward I: Years XX & XXI 1 (Rolls Ser. 31a) (1866): 128–129, 142-146, which may be viewed at the following weblink:
https://books.google.com/books?id=T8tCAAAAYAAJ&pg=PA128
https://books.google.com/books?id=T8tCAAAAYAAJ&pg=PA142
The second item commencing on page 142 states that Walter de Balun and his wife, Isolde, were enfeoffed with the manor of Much Marcle, Herefordshire by Roger le Rous (Isolde's father).
For interest's sake, below is a list of the numerous 17th Century New World immigrants that descend from Isolde le Rous and her 2nd husband, Sir Hugh de Audley, Lord Audley:
Robert Abell, Elizabeth Alsop, William Asfordby, Charles Barnes, Dorothy Beresford, Richard & William Bernard, William Bladen, George & Nehemiah Blakiston, Thomas Booth, Elizabeth Bosvile, George, Giles & Robert Brent, Charles Calvert, Edward Carleton, Grace Chetwode, St. Leger Codd, James Cudworth, Francis Dade, Humphrey Davie, Frances, Jane & Katherine Deighton, Edward Digges, Robert Drake, William Farrer, John Fenwick, Henry Fleete, Edward Foliot, Muriel Gurdon, Elizabeth & John Harleston, Warham Horsmanden, Hannah, Samuel & Sarah Levis, Thomas Ligon, Nathaniel Littleton, Thomas Lloyd, Thomas Lunsford, Agnes Mackworth, Anne, Elizabeth & John Mansfield, Anne & Katherine Marbury, Anne Mauleverer, Richard More, John and Margaret Nelson, Philip & Thomas Nelson, Robert Peyton, Henry & William Randolph, George Reade, William Rodney, Thomas Rudyard, Katherine Saint Leger, Richard Saltonstall, William Skepper, Mary Johanna Somerset, Samuel & William Torrey, Margaret Touteville, Olive Welby, Hawte Wyatt, Amy Wyllys.

Thank you for this, Douglas.
In "Haresfield: Manors and Church" by J. Melland Hall, Transactions of
the Bristol and Gloucestershire Archaeological Society for 1894-95,
volume XIX, page 279, the Rev. Hall describes Maud of Avenbury, second
wife of Humphrey de Bohun who died in 1275, as "a member of a family
connected with that of Le Rus, or Rous, lords of Harescombe and
Alansmore."
A later volume of the abovenamed Transactions, volume 41 part 2, 1919,
contains an unattributed "Proceedings at the Autumnal Meeting, at
Cirencester," in which the father of Eleanor de Avenbury, wife of Roger
le Rous, is given as Henry de Avenbury of Herefordshire, died 1250.
Do you or anyone else reading this have any clue as to how how Eleanor
and Maud might have been related, and what evidence exists for the
father of Eleanor being this Henry?

Patrick,
The only thing I can find that might give another clue about the Avenbury's is in this feet of fines regarding 1 messuage and 2 carucates of land in Hagurnel Mundefeld. It seems to show that there is a connection between Eleanor de Avenbury and a Roger de Avenbury.
CP 25/1/81/18, number 46.

County: Herefordshire.
Place: Westminster.
Date: Two weeks from St John the Baptist, 9 Edward I [8 July 1281].
Parties: Roger Le Rus and Eleanor, his wife, querents, by Reynold le Chapeler, put in the place of Roger, and Roger de Auenbur', impedient, by William le Cris, put in his place.
Property: 1 messuage and 2 carucates of land in Hagurnel Mundefeld'.
Action: Plea.
Agreement: Roger de Auenebur' has acknowledged the tenement to be the right of Roger le Rus. For this, Roger le Rus and Eleanor have granted to Roger de Auenebur' the tenement, to hold to Roger de Auenbur', of Roger le Rus and Eleanor and the heirs of Roger le Rus for the life of Roger de Auenebur', rendering yearly 8 pence at the feast of St Michael, and doing to the chief lords all other services. And after the decease of Roger de Auenebur' the tenement shall revert to Roger le Rus and Eleanor and the heirs of Roger le Rus, quit of the heirs of Roger de Auenebur', to hold of the chief lords for ever.

As they have seisin thereof by the first deed for life, he releases the manor and advowson to them for ever. Witnesses: Sir Thomas de Rus, Alexander de Cheverel, Peter de la Mare, knights; Peter de Lavynton, Simon le Free, John de Wodebrigg., Richard le Heir.

Dear John ~
Thank you for your posts. Much appreciated.
I believe you are correct that Reynold de Balun was Walter's brother. I actually had Reynold de Balun as Walter's brother in my original draft.
However, the Year Book entry I provided in my post specifically states that Walter was Reynold's uncle. So I changed my post to reflect that evidence.
In this case, I trust the deed you've cited over the Year Book entry. I've known for some time that there are various irregularites in the Year Books. For example, Isolde, wife of Walter de Balun and Hugh de Audley, is inexpicably called "Jone" in the same Year Book entry. She is Isolde in all other contemporary records which I have seen of her, including the Common Pleas lawsuit which I found. How such errors crept into the Year Books, I can not say.
Sincerely, Douglas Richardson, Salt Lake City, Utah

Thank you for your posts. Much appreciated.

Dear Douglas, very good find, thanks.
That also disproves Ravilious's theory, of which I myself was a supporter, that Isolda was a de Bohun. We must look elsewhere for the explanation of Isolda's descendants using the swan badge.

Dear Patrick, Jordan, John, etc. ~
Below are two records taken from the online Discovery catalogue.
The first record is a grant dated 1290 witnessed by Isolde le Rous's father, Sir Roger le Rous [died 1294], who occurs here as lord of Allensmore, Herefordshire.
The second record below is a debt owed in 1310 to Lady Eleanor, widow of Roger le Rous.
Given there are so many people who descend from Isolde le Rous, I'd very much like to see more lines of descent from Isolde le Rous posted by newsgroup members.
Reviewing my ancestry, I see that I descend from Isolde le Rous' brother, John le Rous, through the New World immigrant, Agnes (Harris) (Spencer) Edwards, of Connecticut. Also my children descend through their mother from Isolde's sister, Eleanor le Rous, wife of Herbert Fitz John, Knt. [died 1321].

I came across some information on Roger le Rous in Transactions - Bristol and Gloucestershire Archaeological Society by Bristol and Gloucestershire Archaeological Society (linked below).
https://archive.org/stream/transactionsbris10bris#page/78/mode/2up
It mentions that Roger le Rous also held Alansmore for half a fee, and that the name of the manor was taken from his ancestor Alan Fitz Mayn. It also mentions that Eleanor de Avenbury survived her husband by more than 19 years.

Collections Towards the History and Antiquities of the County of Hereford ... by By John Duncumb, William Cooke, Morgan George Watkins, John Hobson Matthews has some information on the parish of Avensbury, as well as the some early ancestors of the family (beginning on page 16) . It makes mention of Alianora le Rous, and John le Rous, but there is no identified connection between the earlier Avenbury ancestors and Eleanor.

Dear Patrick, Jordan, John, etc. ~
There is a full article in print on the extended family of Isolde le Rous published in Transactions of the Bristol & Gloucestershire Archaeological Society 10 (1885–86): 109–130. This article can be viewed at the following weblink:
https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=nyp.33433066656731;view=1up;seq=135
The article includes a pedigree of the le Rous family on page 123, which may be viewed at the following weblink:
https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=nyp.33433066656731;view=1up;seq=149
The pedigree shows that Sir Roger le Rous and his wife, Eleanor de Avenbury, had two sons, John and Roger, clerk, and one daughter, Eleanor (wife of Herbert Fitz John). No mention is made of their daughter, Isolde, wife of Walter de Balun, Knt., and Hugh de Audley, Knt., Lord Audley.
As I indicated in my last post, I descend from Sir Roger le Rous' son and heir, John le Rous, Knt., whereas my children descend from Sir Roger le Rous' daughter, Eleanor, wife of Herbert Fitz John, Knt.

I see I made a couple errors in my lines below. That’s the problem with doing these by memory!! William “Kelke” married to Mary Baugh in Virginia is supposed to be William Farrar. In the Dymoke line of the Skipwiths, I listed Margaret de Welles’ husband as Sir Philip Dymoke and it should be Sir Thomas Dymoke, 14th King’s Champion. My apologies if this has confused anyone familiar with these lines.

Year Books weren't official case reports, they were just manuscript collections of notes made by student lawyers for their own personal use while sitting in the courts listening and learning. They were principally interested in the legal issues raised, for which purpose the names of the individual parties to the suits were not really relevant. Frequently the names were not even recorded.
It can be an interesting exercise to try to identify the individuals and places mentioned in Year Book reports. Here is one I did a few years ago:
https://ipm-dev.cch.kcl.ac.uk/blog/ipms-and-the-year-books-radcliffe-v-dynelay-1424/
Medieval genealogists, with their detailed knowledge of the land-owning elite and their estates, must be specially qualified to solve these puzzles. Perhaps one day an inter-disciplinary project of legal historians and medieval genealogists should be set up to do this.

I think that I can add a little to the Rous pedigree. The widow of Henry le Rous was named Hawise or Helewise. She presented to the church of Duntisbourne Rouse, Gloucestershire in October 1268. Duntisbourne was one of the Rous family holdings.
16 October 1268, Gift in commendam to Hopton (sic), rector of the church of Glonnegunford [Clungunford], in the diocese of Hereford, of the church of Duntesburn, of which Helewysa, widow of Henry le Rus, is patron. Dated at London, Tuesday before the feast of St. Luke the apostle and evangelist, 1268.

Good day,
In Ancient Facts and Fictions Concerning Churches and Tithes by Roundell Palmer, Earl of Selborne there is a translated passage (pages 354-355) which describes a composition dated from 1181 between Roger, Prior of Llanthony and Roger Fitz Alan. Within the passage Roger Fitz Alan is stated to be the son of Alan Fitz Mayn. This supports that relationship in the pedigree found by Douglas.

knight of the shire for Gloucestershire. A footnote to this statement
says that "it is singular that this particular return is supposed to be
the only existing record of those present at that Parliament, which met
at Shrewsbury, 30th Sep. 1283, one of its results being the execution
of Prince David."
I don't know whether it's actually true that this return is the "only
existing record of those present at that Parliament", but it's worth
noting that the 1283 parliament has been claimed to be the first at
which the peerage sat in one house and the shire knights and burgesses
in another. According to some accounts, following the (lengthy and
grisly) execution of Dafydd, Parliament removed a few miles south to
Acton Burnell, home of Edward I's chancellor Robert Burnell, and there
the "knights of the shire" made the constitutionally-consequential
decision to sit in a separate gathering alongside the town burgesses.
This has been claimed as the origin of the modern houses of Commons and
Lords. Mind you, I don't know how much of this is true and how much is
a good story drummed up by the locals of Acton Burnell.

After taking into account the evidence identifying an Isolde as a daughter of Roger le Rous and wife of Hugh de Audley, and looking at the previous post to this one, where Adrian has found a plea roll with an Isolde also as the wife of Hugh de Audley and appearing to possibly be a daughter of Edmund de Mortimer, is there a possibility that Hugh de Audley married two women named Isolde?
Does the chronology of what has been uncovered allow for this?
In the 1289 Common Plea identified by Douglas, is there doesn't seem to be any mention of Hugh de Audley. The plea roll Adrian identified dated from 1291.
I am curious as to whether others think this is a possibility.
Take care,

on its face that Plea Roll entry suggests Isolde was the widowed mother of Edmund de Mortimer, remarried to Hugh Audley. But it would help to know more about the 'grant dated 1287 from Sir Edmund de Mortimer' mentioned by Douglas (and do we know who that the 'Sir Edmund Mortimer' was? - was he the father of the Edmund Mortimer in the 1291 Plea Roll entry.)

Dear Adrian (and Jordan) ~
The 1291 lawsuit which you've cited basically states that Isolde de Audley held the property in question for life, and that the property was to revert to Edmund de Mortimer on her death. That is all.
The terminology "held ... of the inheritance of Edmund de Mortimer" does not suggest, mean, or imply that Isolde was a Mortimer or that Edmund de Mortimer was in any way her heir. In this case, Isolde held the life tenancy of this property by direct grant of Edmund de Mortimer which was made to Isolde and her deceased 1st husband, Sir Walter de Balun. On the deaths of Sir Walter and Isolde, the property was to revert to Edmund de Mortimer or his heirs. The words "held of the inheritance" is stock phraseology in lawsuits of this time period. In this case, it basically means that Edmund de Mortimer held the reversion of the life tenancy.
Such life grants (or leases) could be to a priest, steward, bailiff, or knight in the household of Edmund de Mortimer. Such life grants were common. They were not reserved for relatives. Had Isolde been holding the property in dower, one might suppose that she was the widow of a near relation of Edmund de Mortimer. However, in this case, Isolde held this property by direct grant of Edmund de Mortimer himself, so no dower right as a widow was involved. Had Isolde been holding this property in right of her dower (not life tenancy), this would typically be clearly stipulated in the lawsuit. No such stipulation is made in the 1291 lawsuit.

There is abundant evidence that Sir Hugh de Audley married Isolde, widow of Sir Walter de Balun. The plea roll which Adrian cited does not suggest, mean, or imply that Isolde was "possibly" the daughter of Edmund de Mortimer.

Dear Matt ~
This might be true if Isolde was holding the property named in the 1291 lawsuit as her dower. But the lawsuit does not state that. Indeed, Calendar of Close Rolls, 1323–1327 (1898): 467 clearly indicates that Isolde and her first husband, Walter de Balun, had the manor of Arley, Staffordshire as a life time grant of Edmund de Mortimer. Thus Isolde held Arley by grant, not by dower, in 1291.
The Close Rolls item may be viewed at the following weblink:
https://books.google.com/books?id=XgQOAQAAMAAJ&pg=PA467
Elsewhere I note that Duncumb states Sir Walter de Balun likewise "leased his Manor of Marcle [Herefordshire] for a term of years to Sir Edmund de Mortimer as a reserved rent ... Dying without issue ... his brother and heir, Reginald de Balun, claiming as tenant in tail, demanded possession of the Manor from Sir Edmund de Mortimer, notwithstanding his lease, and disputed the right of his brother’s widow to have one-third of the rents for her dower.” Reference: Duncumb et al., Collections Towards the History & Antiquities of Hereford 3 (1882): 5, which may be viewed at the following weblink:
https://books.google.com/books?id=t4gcAQAAMAAJ&pg=PA5
The cross grants of Arley and Marcle appear to be normal horse trading between two land owners, not the indication of a maritagium. Whatever the case, Arley was not held by Isolde in dower as you suggest.

The grant in 1287 by Edmund de Mortimer of life use of the manor of
Upper Arley to Walter and Isolde de Balun was apparently part of an
exchange, since at the same time Walter de Balun granted the manor of
Much Marcle to Edmund and Margaret de Mortimer. I have updated my
"Timeline for Much Marcle (and Upper Arley)" to reflect Douglas's
discovery of Isolde's parentage. The new version is at
donstonetech.com/IsoldeAudley/MuchMarcleTimeline11.pdf.
My timeline provides some background for various transactions. The de
Baluns had been having significant financial difficulties and in this
period would usually sell a manor with the stipulation that it could be
bought back (redeemed) for a specified sum.
As covered in my timeline, the manor of Cheverell was granted to Walter
de Balun and Joan [Iseult] by Roger de Rous sometime before 1292 “to
hold to them and to the heirs of Joan [Iseult],” and the manor of
Eastington was granted to Walter de Balun and Isolda by Roger de Rous in
1286/7 “to have to them and her heirs.”
Quoting from my timeline, "... since both Cheverell and Eastington had
been in the Balun family for a long time, they might have been sold by a
Balun to Roger de Rous (because of Balun financial difficulties), and
the two Roger Rous grants to Walter and Isolde Balun may have been
redemptions on easy terms, given that Walter had married Roger's daughter?"

In 1281, Walter de Balun was married to a lady named Joan, who was then aged 40 and more. Presumably Joan was his first wife and he married Isolde some time between 1281 and 1287.

This matter of Joan or Isolde as wife or wives of Walter de Balun is a
tricky issue. Joan is still given as wife of Hugh de Audley in 1292 in
Year Books of the Reign of King Edward the First: Years XX-XXI (1866),
edited by Alfred John Horwood, p. 142, which relates to the manor of C.
[Cheverell] and says, "Hugh de Audele and Joan his wife brought a writ
of Dower against Reginald de Balon, and demanded the third part of the
manor of Marcle &c. —"
(https://books.google.com/books?id=q_QUAAAAQAAJ&pg=PA142&lpg=PA142#v=onepage&q&f=false).
In the New England Historical and Genealogical Register, vol. 116
(1962), "Two Mortimer Notes," Charles F. H. Evans says (pp. 16-7), "The
wife of Hugh Audley, and widow of Walter de Balun, is described as Jone
(not Isolt) in 1292 (Year Book, 20 Edward I); but elsewhere she is
called Isolt."

This matter of Joan or Isolde as wife or wives of Walter de Balun is a
tricky issue. Joan is still given as wife of Hugh de Audley in 1292 in
Year Books of the Reign of King Edward the First: Years XX-XXI (1866),
edited by Alfred John Horwood, p. 142, which relates to the manor of C.
[Cheverell] and says, "Hugh de Audele and Joan his wife brought a writ
of Dower against Reginald de Balon, and demanded the third part of the
manor of Marcle &c. —"
(https://books.google.com/books?id=q_QUAAAAQAAJ&pg=PA142&lpg=PA142#v=onepage&q&f=false).
In the New England Historical and Genealogical Register, vol. 116
(1962), "Two Mortimer Notes," Charles F. H. Evans says (pp. 16-7), "The
wife of Hugh Audley, and widow of Walter de Balun, is described as Jone
(not Isolt) in 1292 (Year Book, 20 Edward I); but elsewhere she is
called Isolt."

According to the inquisition post mortem which I linked in my previous post, Joan was aged "40 and more" in 1281.
Joan was unlikely to be the mother of Hugh de Audely's children who were born between 1288 and 1300.
Regarding the names in Year Books. See the earlier post in this thread by Matt Tompkins, "Year Books weren't official case reports, they were just manuscript collections of notes made by student lawyers for their own personal use while sitting in the courts listening and learning. They were principally interested in the legal issues raised, for which purpose the names of the individual parties to the suits were not really relevant. Frequently the names were not even recorded."

Just to be sure I am following the argument, are you saying that since the names were unimportant we can dismiss any names given when the student opted to provide them?

Dismissing the names out of hand would be a bit extreme, but, like all documents where the accuracy of some parts was not of importance to the record-creator, they should be treated with caution.

Dear Newsgroup ~
The published Year Book for 20 Edward I [1292] appears to concern lawsuits recorded in the Herefordshire Eyre of the justices itinerant for that year. The 1292 eyre can be viewed by accessing it at the AALT website at the following weblink:
http://aalt.law.uh.edu/JUST1/JUST1_E1e.html
Go down to the year 1292, then go 4th column over for Herefordshire.
The title description on the first page of this eyre almost exactly matches the description of the eyre as found in the published yearbook.
The first page of the 1292 Herefordshire eyre may be found at the following weblink:
http://aalt.law.uh.edu/AALT4/JUST1/JUST1no302/
I examined a few items from this eyre. I was unable to find the lawsuits which were discussed in the published Year Book. However, I did find the following item:
1. Roger le Rus acknowledged that he owed Laurence de Lodelawe a debt of £12 12s. 9d.
http://aalt.law.uh.edu/AALT4/JUST1/JUST1no302/aJUST1no302fronts/IMG_8193.htm
In a subsequent Justice Itinerant record dated Michaelmas term 1293, I found the following item:
Heref[ord]
Margareta ux Edmundi de Mortuo Mari v. Reginald de Balon John de Balon Hugone de Alditheleye Isolda ux eius Henr' de Preston & Laurencius de Lodelawe in a plea ...
http://aalt.law.uh.edu/AALT4/JUST1/JUST1no304/aJUST1no304fronts/IMG_8990.htm
This item appears to be a summary of a lawsuit by Margaret wife (not widow) of Edmund de Mortimer against Reginald de Balon, John de Balon, Hugh de Audley and Isolde his wife, and two other parties.
Checking further I found the actual lawsuit a few images earlier at the following weblink:
http://aalt.law.uh.edu/AALT4/JUST1/JUST1no304/aJUST1no304fronts/IMG_8983.htm
The specific lawsuit is dated Easter term 22 Edward I [1294].
It commences by saying that an assize was held to determine if Reynold de Balun, John de Balun, Hugh de Alditheleye [Audley] and Isolde his wife, Henry de Preston, and Laurence de Ludelowe unjustly disseised Edmund de Mortimer and Margaret his wife of his free tenement in Great Marcle, Herefordshire. Hugh de Audley came into court and stated that his wife Isolde held the third part of the said manor by her dower.
As we can see, Hugh de Audley's wife in 1294 was definitely named Isolde and she was surely the widow of Walter de Balun.
A few images nearby I also found another lawsuit dated Michaelmas term 22 Edward I [1294].
It commences by saying that an assize was held to determine if Henry de Solers, Reginald de Balun, and John de Balun unjustly disseised Edmund de Mortimer and Margaret his wife regarding his free tenement in Great Marcle, Herefordshire. Walter de Balun is mentioned in the subsequent discussion but no mention is made of Hugh de Audley and his wife, Isolde.
Here is the weblink for that lawsuit:
http://aalt.law.uh.edu/AALT4/JUST1/JUST1no304/aJUST1no304fronts/IMG_8992.htm
I would advise that no one be confused by the various dates of these lawsuits, be it 1291, 1292, or 1294. Some lawsuits were continued from year to year and they can appear in more than one session.

Dear Newsgroup ~
This past week I came across a Common Pleas lawsuit dated 1292 involving Isolde le Rus' brother-in-law, Reynold de Balun, and Edmund de Mortimer and Margaret his wife. The place involved is not stated, but I assume the lawsuit concerns the manor of Great Marcle, Herefordshire. Below is an abstract of that record.
In Hilary term 1292 Reynold de Balun sued Edmund de Mortimer and Margaret his wife in the Court of Common Pleas in a plea of land.
Reference: Court of Common Pleas, CP40/92, image 130f (available at
http://aalt.law.uh.edu/E1/CP40no92/aCP40no92fronts/IMG_0130.htm).
The record below dated 1285 explains why Margaret de Fiennes, wife of Edmund de Mortimer, was involved in the later legal wrangling regarding the manor of Great Marcle, Herefordshire.
Byerly & Byerly, Records of the Wardrobe & Household 1285–1286 (1986): 4 [“xijo die Decembris [1285] Rogero de Stokes clerico eunti ap capiendam seysinam de manerio de Markel’ per perceptum regis de quo dominus Edmundus de Mortuo Mari feofabit uxorem suam, xxx s. unde respondebit.”).
It would be good to see more people post their descent from Isolde le Rus and her 2nd husband, Hugh de Audley, Knt., Lord Audley.

Dear Newsgroup ~
Below is another Common Pleas lawsuit involving Isolde le Rous, wife of Hugh de Audley, Knt., Lord Audley. This lawsuit concerns Isolde's manor of Much Marcle, Herefordshire, which property was settled on Isolde and her 1st husband, Sir Walter de Balun, by her father, Sir Roger le Rous.
In Hilary term 1330 Isolde, widow of Hugh Daudele, sued John Brid, of Eldersfield, in the Court of Common Pleas regarding a reasonable account of the time he was her bailiff in Much Marcle, Herefordshire.
Reference: Court of Common Pleas, CP40/282, image 351f (available at http://aalt.law.uh.edu/AALT1/E3/CP40no282/aCP40no282fronts/IMG_0351.htm).
If you descend from Isolde le Rous and her 2nd husband, Hugh de Audley, Knt., Lord Audley (as I know many of you do), I'd appreciate it if you would post your line of descent from this couple.

Thank you for sharing your line of descent from Sir Hugh de Audley, Lord Audley, and his wife, Isolde le Rous.
I can't speak for your entire line of descent but the line you posted is definitely good down to Elizabeth Darcy above who married Lewis Mordaunt, 3rd Lord Mordaunt.
If you have other lines of descent you can post, I'd enjoy seeing them. Again thanks.

Thanks Joe for posting two descents, one going down to Joseph Bolles, the other to Thomas Bradbury. The two descents got a bit garbled in the posted message, so I separated the lines into two distinct lines above.
Good news. I can verify that the Bolles line is good down all the way down to the immigrant. Yahoo!
As for the Bradbury descent, it is based on a working theory proposed by Marshall Kirk published in NEHGR 161 (2007): 27–36. The theory, while likely, remains unproven. At the present time, the line is only good down to Jane Dymoke, wife of John Fulnetby [Gen. 9 above]. I've been unable to prove that John Fulnetby had a daughter, Katherine, who married William Dynewell. If you know of such evidence, I'd like to see it.
Regarding the three descents down to Henry Dudley, who you have called the "probable" grandfather of Gov. Thomas Dudley, surely you know there is no direct evidence which links Henry Dudley to Gov. Dudley's father, Capt. Roger Dudley. This is another Marshal Kirk theory. Basically Mr. Kirk developed his theory and then marshalled the evidence to fit it. He totally ignored any extraneous or miscellaneous Dudley families.
The correct approach is to examine ALL available Dudley families and see if one fits. While all things are possible, in this case, Marshall Kirk's Dudley theory has a lot of problems. I stopped using it many years ago. Again, if you know of evidence to prove the line, I'd certainly like to see it.
Probable is when lands pass from one person to another. Probable is when they lived in the same parish. Probable is when family names match. Probable is when the immigrant is called cousin by a known descendant of Henry Dudley in contemporary records. None of this is true with Marshall Kirk's Dudley theory. Is it possible? Yes. Is it likely? I wouldn't bet my life on it. As a Dudley descendant, I'd like to see this line proven just as much as anyone. Right now .... no soap. Or should I say no evidence. Grin.
Again thanks for posting your descents.

Douglas,
For what it's worth I largely agree with your analysis, but put more weight on the Dudley line than you do based on the use of the seal and the lack of possible candidates for his grandfather.
Actually, I believe the Dudley line is more likely to be essentially right than Marshall's Bradbury line...the NEGHR article I thought made a few leaps of faith...or possibly just was lacking editorally in connecting the dots. Of course I cannot blame Mr. Kirk for this or the article's editor/submitter either given the circumstances of his untimely death.
The good news for the Bradbury line is that there is probably more chance of a stray record turning up that will provide an answer at some point than the seemingly intractable Dudley question (although I will be excited anyway to read the book in progress on the Dudley question and some of the more recent findings when it is fully in print)
Thanks Joe Cook

back in 1999:
"There are two complete breaks in this ancestry, and several questions that must
be answered. I would be only too happy for the connection to be correct, but
it is not.
1. What evidence is there that the Virginia immigrant was from Bristol,
Gloucestershire, England?
2. What evidence is there that Robert Dudley of Newcastle had a son named
Edward who went to Bristol [a very unusual migration route], and then to
Virginia? This is the first complete break.
3. What evidence is there that Richard Dudley, of Yanwath, Cumberland, had a
son named John who founded the Newcastle line? He had two sons, Edward and
Robert, and a number of daughters. This is the second complete break."

This lineage was analyzed in an article published in 1972,
which apparently pointed out the same problems:

Thanks so much for sharing your line of descent from Sir Hugh de Audley and his wife, Isolde le Rous. Much appreciated. Hopefully others will do the same.
Many years when I first worked on this problem, I found that all of the published sources stated that Isolde, wife of Sir Hugh de Audley, was a Mortimer. But when I checked their cited references, I found no evidence to back up their claims. I subsequently withdrew the identification of Isolde as a Mortimer from my files and waited for further evidence to prove her maiden name and parentage.
This should serve as a red flag to all researchers. No matter how many times something appears in print, there should always be contemporary evidence to back up the printed material. If someone is merely quoting from another published source, one should proceed with caution.

I believe there is a valid descent from Sir Hugh de Audley and his wife, Isolde le Rous, for Bridget Copley, wife of Sir Richard Southwell, Knt. [Generation 12]. The descent goes through Bridget Copley's 2nd great-grandmother, Eleanor (Welles) Hoo, and can be found in my Royal Ancestry book [5 volume set].
< The line breaks at generations 10-11, Mary Darcy wasn't daughter of Thomas Darcy < and Elizabeth de Vere.
For an interesting biography of Bridget (Copley) Southwell, please see A Biographical Encyclopedia of Early Modern Englishwomen (2016), pg. 180, which may be viewed at the following weblink:

Wonderful amount of information here! Was very happy to stumble upon this today and clear up many of the questions I had. Thanks to all who have posted!
I’ll begin with Isolda and Hugh’s son, Hugh.
Hugh de Audley + Margaret de Clare
Margaret de Audley + Ralph Stafford [2 children are directs that merge into one again]
1. Hugh Stafford + Philippa Beauchamp
2. Joan Stafford + Gilbert Talbot
1. Hugh Stafford + Philippa Beauchamp [other children who m. into other direct lines: Margaret m. Ralph Neville (17th GG); Thomas m. Anne Plantagenet (17th GG, who after widowed, m. Thomas’ brother Edmund)
Edmund Stafford + Anne Plantagenet
Humphrey Stafford + Anne Neville
Katherine Stafford + John Talbot
George Talbot + Anne Hastings *
Francis Talbot + Mary Dacre
George Talbot + Gertrude Manners
Gilbert Talbot + Mary Cavendish
Alethea Talbot + Thomas Howard
Mary Ann Howard + Jeffrey Ferris
James Ferris + Mary Merritt
Mary Ferris + Gershom Lockwood
Mary Lockwood + James Ferris (Married back into Ferris line – 1st cousins)
Hannah Ferris + Isaac Horton
James Horton + Sidnea Webb
Polina Nancy Horton + John H. Kelley (my 3rd GG’s)
2. Joan Stafford + Gilbert Talbot
Richard Talbot + Ankaret Strange
John Talbot + Maud Neville
John Talbot + Elizabeth Butler
John Talbot + Katherine Stafford(2C1R–John married back into Stafford line)
George Talbot + Anne Hastings *(2nd cousins–seen above Hugh 1) 14th GG’s
There were many marriages not listed above that connect to other lines. I have had much frustration and satisfaction in solving the many puzzles. Some of the above I have very well documented and am confident in the data, but some is still in the “grey” area.

Celeste (21st great granddaughter of Isolda)

"Mary (Howard) Ferris is being detached as the wife of Jeffrey Ferris since there is no evidence found for the marriages. Additionally, Robert Charles Anderson in "Great Migration" does not list her as his wife."
"Seems Anne Howard's marriage to Jeffrey Ferris may have stemmed from repeated copying of unsourced online family trees"

Thank you for posting your line of descent from Isolde le Rous, wife of Hugh de Audley. Much appreciated.
I see your line goes through the Wodhull family. When I have time later this week, I'll post some helpful information regarding that family here on the newsgroup.

Dear Newsgroup ~
Isolde le Rous, wife successively of Walter de Balun, Knt., of Great Marcle, Herefordshire (died 1287), and Hugh de Audley, Knt., of Stratton (in Stratton Audley), Oxfordshire (died 1325) has been shown to be the daughter of Roger le Rous, Knt., of Harescombe and Duntisbourne Rouse, Gloucestershire, Allensmore, Herefordshire, etc., Sheriff of Gloucestershire, 1278–79, Sheriff of Herefordshire, 1293–94, Knight of the Shire for Gloucestershire, 1283, Knight of the Shire of Herefordshire, 1290, itinerant judge, by his wife, Eleanor.
Isolde's mother, Eleanor, is thought to have been an heiress of the Avenbury family, as in her widowhood, Eleanor le Rous presented to the church of Avenbury, Herefordshire in 1313. If the Avenbury connection is correct, presumably Isolde le Rous was closely related to Maud de Avenbury (died 1273), 2nd wife of Humphrey de Bohun, Earl of Hereford and Essex.
Below is a fine dated 1281 involving Isolde le Rous' parents, Roger and Eleanor le Rous, and a certain Roger de Avenbury. The fine is found at Chris Philips' website, Some Notes on Medieval English Genealogy, at the following weblink: http://www.medievalgenealogy.org.uk/
CP 25/1/81/18, number 46.
County: Herefordshire.
Place: Westminster.
Date: Two weeks from St John the Baptist, 9 Edward I [8 July 1281].
Parties: Roger Le Rus and Eleanor, his wife, querents, by Reynold le Chapeler, put in the place of Roger, and Roger de Auenbur', impedient, by William le Cris, put in his place.
Property: 1 messuage and 2 carucates of land in Hagurnel Mundefeld'.
Action: Plea.
Agreement: Roger de Auenebur' has acknowledged the tenement to be the right of Roger le Rus. For this, Roger le Rus and Eleanor have granted to Roger de Auenebur' the tenement, to hold to Roger de Auenbur', of Roger le Rus and Eleanor and the heirs of Roger le Rus for the life of Roger de Auenebur', rendering yearly 8 pence at the feast of St Michael, and doing to the chief lords all other services. And after the decease of Roger de Auenebur' the tenement shall revert to Roger le Rus and Eleanor and the heirs of Roger le Rus, quit of the heirs of Roger de Auenebur', to hold of the chief lords for ever.
Warranty: Warranty by Roger le Rus and Eleanor and the heirs of Roger le Rus.
Standardised forms of names.
Persons: Roger Le Rous, Eleanor Le Rous, Reynold le Chapler, Roger de Avenbury, William le Cris.
Places: Munderfield (in Avenbury and Bromyard)
+ + + + + + + + + +
Recently I encountered a record in the Common Pleas dated 1285 which pertains to the Avenbury family. The plaintiff is Alice, widow of Roger de Avenbury, who is presumably the same person as Roger de Avenbury involved in the 1281 fine above. A brief abstract of the lawsuit is presented below.
In Trinity term 1285 Alice, widow of Roger de Avenbir[y] sued Henry de Hereford in the Court of Common Pleas regarding the third part of one messuage, 50 acres of land, and one acre of meadow in Avenbury, Herefordshire, which she claimed as her dower.
Reference: Court of Common Pleas, CP40/59, image 9830d (available at http://aalt.law.uh.edu/E1/CP40no59/CP40no59dorses/IMG_9830.htm).
I believe further evidence is need before Eleanor, wife of Roger le Rous, can be assigned as a member of the Avenbury family.
In other news, below is a record dated 1283 in the Exchequer of Pleas which relates to Isolde le Rous' first husband, Sir Walter de Balun:
In 1283 Walter Balum, of Markeley [Marcle], Herefordshire was attached to respond to Robert de Dymmok, clerk, regarding a matter involving William and John, servants of the said Robert.

Dear Greg ~
Thank you for posting your various lines of descent from Isolde le Rous (died 1338), wife of Sir Walter de Balun and Sir Hugh de Audley, Lord Audley. Much appreciated.
Below is a new court record involving Isolde le Rous' father, Sir Roger le Rous, of Harescombe and Duntisbourne Rouse, Gloucestershire, Allensmore, Herefordshire, etc.
In 1283 Roger le Rus was attached to respond to Anselm de Gornay [Gournay] in the Exchequer of Pleas in a Gloucestershire plea regarding a debt of £4 [see Exchequer of Pleas, E13/10, image 16, Year: 1283 (available at http://aalt.law.uh.edu/AALT4/E1/E13no10/IMG_0016.htm)].

I would certainly appreciate that! I've looked around a good deal, trying to track down primary sources for the Wahull/Wodhull/Woodhull family. Not an easy task. Other than Domesday, of course.

No, there is no link between this emigrant John Washington and the family of George Washington. The John Washington, of the George Washington, was found in Barbados, and originally thought to be the John Washington who married Mary (whose surname I do not believe to have been proven), was later found to have died without issue. This would fit with the general observations that the John Washington family did not use a similar pool of first names, and seems to have been of a lower social standing.
Notwithstanding, if you would be willing to send me a private email with the details of this family bible you referenced, as a probable descendant of Faith Washington and Josiah Barker, I would be greatly interested.

Back in 2017, I presented evidence which proved that Isolde, wife of Sir Hugh de Audley, Lord Audley (he died 1325), was the daughter of Roger le Rous (or Rus), Knt., of Harescombe and Duntisbourne Rouse, Gloucestershire, Allensmore, Herefordshire, etc., Sheriff of Gloucestershire, 1278–79, Sheriff of Herefordshire, 1293–94, Knight of the Shire for Gloucestershire, 1283, Knight of the Shire of Herefordshire, 1290, itinerant judge, by his wife, Eleanor, allegedly daughter of _____ de Avenbury.
I earlier located a Common Pleas lawsuit which placed the marriage date of Sir Hugh and Isolde as sometime in or before Easter term 1292.
Recently I located another Common Pleas lawsuit which indicates that Sir Hugh and Isolde were married in or before Trinity term 1291. A brief abstract of the new lawsuit is presented below.
In Trinity term 1291 Hugh and Isolde his wife sued Robert [Burnell], Bishop of Bath and Wells, and Philip Burnell in the Court of Common Pleas regarding the third part of the manor of Great Cheverel, Wiltshire, which the said Isolde claimed as dower; the said Bishop and Philip came into court and called to warranty Reynold de Balun.
Reference: Court of Common Pleas, CP40/90, image 17f (available at http://aalt.law.uh.edu/E1/CP40no90/aCP40no90fronts/IMG_0017.htm).
The subject of the above lawsuit is the manor of Great Cheverel, Wiltshire, which property was previously held by Isolde le Rous' first husband, Sir Walter de Balun, of Great Marcle, Herefordshire, who died shortly before 25 October 1287.

I earlier located a Common Pleas lawsuit which placed the marriage date of Sir Hugh and Isolde as sometime in or before Easter term 1292.
Recently I located another Common Pleas lawsuit which indicates that Sir Hugh and Isolde were married in or before Trinity term 1291. A brief abstract of the new lawsuit is presented below.
In Trinity term 1291 Hugh and Isolde his wife sued Robert [Burnell], Bishop of Bath and Wells, and Philip Burnell in the Court of Common Pleas regarding the third part of the manor of Great Cheverel, Wiltshire, which the said Isolde claimed as dower; the said Bishop and Philip came into court and called to warranty Reynold de Balun.
Reference: Court of Common Pleas, CP40/90, image 17f (available at http://aalt.law.uh.edu/E1/CP40no90/aCP40no90fronts/IMG_0017.htm).
The subject of the above lawsuit is the manor of Great Cheverel, Wiltshire, which property was previously held by Isolde le Rous' first husband, Sir Walter de Balun, of Great Marcle, Herefordshire, who died shortly before 25 October 1287.

The printed version of the 1664 Visitation of Staffordshire (Staffs Rec. Soc. V pt 2, 1885, p 267) calls him "Sir William Skrymshire of North Dighton", Yorkshire but does not assign a wife. The 1583 Visitation does not give him a name, but infers that he had an interest in Muskham, Nottinghamshire as well as North Deighton since those places are assigned to his heir (son of eldest son) and the family is said to quarter "Muschamp", indicating a marriage to an heiress of that family. I don't know where the attribution of a marriage to "Alice Widdrington/Witherington" comes from, but it appears in print as early as 1876 ("The Complete Poems of Richard Barnfield, A. Grosart, Roxburghe Club). Does anyone know the authority for this?
> Thomas Scrimshire = Mary Joan Swynshed
Whenever you see a medieval person with more than one Christian name, you should envisage a red flag: compound names weren't a feature of this time period (the first double names I am aware of in Britain date from the second part of the 16th century, and did not become common until the 1700s). Thomas Skrymsher apparently did marry a Miss Swynshed ("daughter and heir of Swinshed of Swinshed" according to the 1583 Visitation of Staffordshire) but so far as I know her first name is not recorded in any primary sources; she is not referred to in his 1550 will. The 1664 Visitation of Staffordshire calls her Mary, but this seems to be an interpolation (and in any case is not contemporary by any means).
> Joyce Scrimshire = Sir Robert Terrell Colyer
Not sure he was a knight; certainly his name was just Robert Colyer. He did indeed marry a daughter of Thomas Skrymsher (the latter states this and refers to their daughter in his 1550 will), but the 1583 Visitation of Staffordshire states that his daughter Cecilia was by a marriage to Agnes Venables of Kinderton. If the line hasn't already failed for lack of evidence, it almost certainly breaks here.
There are a number of problems with this proposed pedigree:

The descent is definitely valid thru this generation. Elizabeth (Hoghton) Talbot was the daughter of Sir Richard Hoghton and his mistress Anne Browne, who eventually became his fourth wife.

From Visitation of Lancashire 1533 (p. 51): "Sir Richard's mistress was Anne, daughter of Roger Brown. By her he had a daughter Elizabeth, married to Robert Talbot of Ribchester, an illegitimate offshoot of Talbot of Salebury."
https://archive.org/details/visitationoflanc198manc/page/51/mode/2up
The HOP bio for Sir Richard Hoghton shows that Anne Browne was his fourth wife:

> Richard Talbot
Here is the first generation of your descent which will need verification. Per the 'Talbot of Salebury' pedigree in Sir William Dugdale's Visitation of Lancashire 1664-5 (p. 298), "Robert Talbot, born before marriage" and his wife "Elizabeth, dau. of Sir Richard Hoghton of Lee", had four sons: "John, George, Robert, Thomas."

No Richard.
Is it possible that the Richard Talbot you list above, was actually Robert, John, George or Thomas Talbot, named in the 1664-5 pedigree?

Thank you Leslie. On the one hand, it makes sense for Elizabeth (Hoghton) Talbot to have named a son 'Richard', after her father, the knight and MP. But on the other hand, it seems strange Richard would have been left off of a pedigree which named his four other brothers.

My line of descent from Isolde le Rous is through Charles Barnes of East Hampton, NY:

I very much wish to also find the connection to William Barnes (d. 1699, of East Hampton) to this family! I know it exists but how to prove it is so difficult. Here is my summation on Wynkoop and what I think could be going on here IRT William Barnes:
"Wynkoop Articles On William Barnes
In his 1906 article The Barnes Family of Easthampton, L.I., Richard Wynkoop concluded that William Barnes, who died 1 DEC 1699 and married Elizabeth, was most likely the son of Charles Barnes schoolmaster at Easthampton. However in 1910, Wynkoop retracted this conclusion, stating "It seems that Charles Barnes was the head of a family, radiating from Easthampton, including Shamgar Barnes and Benjamin Barnes... but not including William Barnes, whose widow was Elizabeth."
Wynkoop also states that he "could not have been the child of any of the other early Barnes within that region" which does not account for William Barnes, son of William Barnes and Thomasine Shepherd, who married Sarah Evans in England. William came to the colonies in the 1640s, living in Salem and eventually Long Island, but returned to England, where he died. Although Sarah Evans Barnes died in 1648, they did have a son together who is unnamed along with 2 daughters after her death."
William Barnes and Sarah Evans could be, but who knows? The mystery continues!
