Dear John ~
Thank you for your good posts on the Trussell family. They are much appreciated.
My comments on Part 1 of your posts are interspersed below. DR
<Sir William son and heir of William Trussell was probably born about 1280. He <married, around 1300, Maud youngest daughter and co-heir of Warin de <Mainwaring. She was aged 6 months at the death of her father on 31 May 1289.
Maud de Mainwaring was actually aged 6 months at the time of the inquisition post mortem of her father [23 June 1289], not at the death of her father [31 May 1289]. Reference: Cal. of IPM 2 (1906): 455, available at the following weblink:

William Trussell and Maud de Mainwaring were married before 29 April 1305. On that date, Thomas, Abbot of Chester, reached agreement with Agnes, widow of Warin de Meynwaring, and William, son of Sir William Trussell, and Maud, wife of the younger William, daughter and heiress of Warin, to divide a disputed heath lying between the abbot’s manors of Eastham and Childer Thornton and the manor of Willaston belonging to the said Agnes. Reference: Tait, Chartulary or Register of the Abbey of St. Werburgh, Chester 1 (Chetham Soc. n.s. 79) (1923): 97–99. See the following weblink for this agreement:

<On 27 February 1308, William Trussell ‘the younger’ and Maud, his wife, had <licence to grant the manor of Warmingham, Cheshire and the advowson of the <church of that place, held in chief, which are of her inheritance, to Agnes, <late the wife of Warin de Mainwaring, for life.
The property specified in the grant is Wermyngton [no county]. You may be correct that Warmingham, Cheshire is intended, but since the county is not given, another place might be involved.
< William probably died in the early part of 1317. In June 1317, Edward II <brought Maud to London and by the king’s order, she married ‘the king’s <yeoman,’ Oliver de Bordeaux. They were married in the chapel at Woodstock on 26 <June 1317 in the presence of the king.
You are correct that Maud de Mainwaring's 2nd husband was Oliver de Bordeaux (or Burdeaux, Burdegala, Burdegalia). Oliver de Bordeaux was of Eton, New Windsor, Old Windsor, and Winkfield, Berkshire, Keeper of the manor of Whitchurch, Oxfordshire, Keeper of Guildford Castle and town, King’s valet, 1318, King’s yeoman, 1326, King’s esquire, 1328, 1330, Castellan of Bayonne, 1329, and, in right of his wife, of Weybourne, Norfolk.
In 1310 Oliver de Burdegala, king’s yeoman, was granted pasture in Windsor Forest for 12 cows and 500 sheep for the term of his life. In 1314 Oliver granted the Abbot and convent of St. Albans all his land called ‘Le Troye’ in the ville of La Saret [Reference: Riley, Gesta Abbatum Monasterii Sancti Albani a Thoma Walsingham 2 (1867): 122–123]. In 1317 the king granted him the manor of Foliejohn (in Winkfield), Berkshire for the rent of a red rose, with license to enclose the wood and make a park; in 1318 a further grant of 40 acres from the waste of the forest to be assarted was made to him and the reversion of the manor upon the deaths of Oliver and his wife, Maud, was granted to his step-son, William Trussell. In 1317–18 Edward, Prince of Wales, Earl of Chester [future King Edward III] granted Oliver de Burdegalia and Maud his wife license to enclose and cultivate the wastes of their manors of Wylaston [Willaston], Blakene [Blacon], Ashton, and Rode, within the bounds of the earl’s forests, in Cheshire, and to hold the same so inclosed and cultivated to them and the heirs of Maud for ever. In 1319–20 Edward, Prince of Wales granted Oliver and Maud his wife and their tenants of the manor of Assheton [Ashton], Cheshire the right of feeding all their cattle in the Forest of Mere. In 1326 Oliver de Burdeaux, king’s yeoman, was granted a license to enfeoff Matthew, vicar of the church of Old Windsor, Berkshire, of three messuages, lands, woods, and £14 rent in Eton, New Windsor, and Old Windsor, Berkshire, held in chief, and for the said Matthew to regrant the same to Oliver and Maud his wife, and the heirs of their bodies, with successive remainders to William Trussell, son of Maud, and to Warin his brother, and to the right heirs of Oliver. His wife, Maud, died about 1336. In 1342 he sued John de Lavyngton, John de Salesbury, and another regarding a trespass [vi et armis] at Winkfield, Berkshire [Reference: Court of Common Pleas, CP40/330, image 221f (available at
http://aalt.law.uh.edu/AALT1/E3/CP40no330/aCP40no330fronts/IMG_0221.htm)]. Oliver de Bordeaux died in or before 1359, when the king granted William Trussell the manor of Eaton Hastings, Berkshire, in exchange for the manor of Foliejohn (in Winkfield), Berkshire.
Lastly, I should note that the editor of the online Gascon Rolls Project has identified Oliver de Bordeaux [2nd husband of Maud de Mainwaring] as the son of Lop-Bergunh de Bordeaux, merchant of Morlaàs in Béarn. He was also brother of Lop-Bergunh de Bordeaux, Citizen of Bordeaux, captain of King Edward II, Mayor of Bordeaux, 1314–17, Castellan of Bayonne, 1329, and Guilhem-Bergunh Guilhem de Bordeaux, King’s valet.
Conclusive evidence for Oliver de Bordeaux's parentage is found in the following document dated 1320, as reported on the Gascon Rolls Project website:
C61/33: 99 [1320-02-24] Gascon Roll for the 13th and 14th years of the reign of Edward II 24 February 1320. York. For Lop-Bergunh and others etc. Order to the constable of Bordeaux, or his lieutenant, to inspect the letters of Lop-Bergunh de Bordeaux, son and heir of Lop-Bergunh de Bordeaux, and if he finds that
400l.st. is still owed to him and the others and that, despite the order to him, Master Jordan Maurand, king's clerk, formerly constable of Bordeaux, has not paid him, then the sum should be paid to him from the issues…of the duchy without delay, receiving from Lop-Bergunh his letters of acquittance and also the letters of the king's father, and those directed to Maurand by the king. The constable will receive due allowance in his account. It was lately asserted on Lop-Bergunh's behalf that the sum was due to him and others as appears by letters patent of Edward I, and the king, at the request of Oliver de Bordeaux , king's valet, brother of Lop-Bergunh , ordered Maurand to inspect the letters, and to make satisfaction, and receive the acquittance, but Lop-Bergunh has shown the king that he has not received payment.
