Is there yet another problem with the gateway? Maybe it's just me, but I saw
Rosie's follow-up, but not her original message.

Note that my message on Thomas Browne (-1500/1) which I posted to
Gen-Medieval recently took over 24 hours to get through. This seems to happen from time
to time, at least with me.

Below was my original post which is in the Rootsweb archives, but never made
it to sgm. Since making it I came across a PRO record which indicates
Margaret de Gisors married a fourth time.
C 1/69/154
William Breton, esquire, and Margaret, his wife, residuary legatee and late
the wife of William Burcestre, knight. v. Richard Wakehurst and Richard
Aylard, feoffees to uses and executors of the said William Burcestre.: Manor
of Burwash, and personalty: Sussex.
1386-1486.

the Margaret in question was actually his second wife, widow of Sir Thomas
Brewes of Manningford Bruce, Tetbury etc d.1395. The author of the biography
mentions that she married afterwards Sir John Berkeley of Beverstone, but
does not appear to have picked up on Margaret's additional marriage to
William Breton, which chronologically appears to have been her third as
William Burcester died in 1407 and she married Berkeley shortly before his
death in 1428.
CP II p.310 covers Sir Thomas Brewes, mentioning Margaret's subsequent
marriage to Sir John Berkeley, but not the one to William Breton, so it
appears that this is a CP addition.
