Dear Newsgroup ~
Complete Peerage 6 (1926): 401 (sub Haudlo) has brief account of Sir Edmund de Haudlo, who died without issue in 1355. Regarding his two sisters and coheirs, the following information is provided:
"His coheirs were his two sisters: (1) Margaret, who proved her age 6 April 1358, being then the wife of Gilbert de Chastelleyn. She married, 2ndly, before 20 May 1366, John de Appleby, and is stated to have died about 1394. (2) Elizabeth, who proved her age 13 April 1358, being then the wife of Sir Edmund de la Pole. In her issue she became sole heir to her brother. By Sir Edmund de la Pole she was mother of Elizabeth (died in or before August 1419), wife of Sir Ingram Bruyn, and Katherine, wife of Robert James, son of John James." END OF QUOTE.
As seen above, Complete Peerage states that Margaret de Haudlo married (1st) before 6 April 1358 Gilbert de Chastelleyn. My research, howevver, indicates that this couple were actually married before Michaelmas term 1351, as indicated by a Common Pleas lawsuit:
In Michaelmas term 1351 Gilbert Chasteleyn and his wife, Margaret, gave one mark for license of concord with John son of John de Petyto regarding a tenement in Loxley, Warwickshire.

In footnote h on page 401, Complete Peerage further states that Margaret de Haudlo's second husband, John de Appleby, "is stated to have died without issue before 1372." No source is given for this statement which is wrong on both points. John de Appleby actually died shortly before 22 October 1389, leaving surviving issue by Margaret de Haudlo.
In the main body of the text on page 401, it is likewise stated without documentation that Margaret de Haudlo's sister, Elizabeth de Haudlo, ... "in her issue she became sole heir to her brother [Edmund de Haudlo]." This implies of course that Margaret de Haudlo left no surviving issue. Again no source is given for this statement which in any case is wrong.
Had the author of the Complete Peerage done his or her research, they should have consulted the published Visitation of Oxford 1566, 1574, 1634 & 1574 (H.S.P. 5) (1871): 202 which correctly indicates that Margaret de Haudlo and her husband, John de Appleby, had one surviving daughter, Joan de Appleby, who married Roger de Coghull, and that Joan de Appleby's issue continued into modern times. Just why the visitation, which has been long in print, was ignored in favor of the other erroneous information is not clear.
Complete Peerage states that Margaret de Haudlo married (2nd) John de Appleby before 20 May 1366. Margaret and John were married actually before
12 Jan. 1365, on which date the king granted John an annuity of 20 marks for the damage done to Appulby’s land by the royal deer in Bernwood forest in Buckinghamshire. Reference: Cal. of Patent Rolls, 1364–1367 (1912): 60; Evans, Lordship & Learning (2004): 172. Appleby's interest in Bernwood Forest was held in right of his wife, Margaret.
For interest's sake, I've copied below my current file account of Margaret de Haudlo, wife successively of Gilbert Chasteleyn, Knt., and John de Appleby, and also of her daughter, Joan de Appleby, wife of Roger de Coghull. As far as I can tell, both of Joan de Appleby's two daughters have modern descendants. I also believe that there is one 17th Century New World immigrant who descends from Joan de Appleby, namely Thomas Rudyard.

I. MARGARET DE HAUDLO, elder daughter, born 5 Sept. 1334 (aged 21 in 1355).

In 1351 Gilbert declared that he had acquired in fee one messuage, lands, and £8 rent in Loxley, Warwickshire of the inheritance of William Trussell and petitioned to be discharged from all demands that might be made on the premises on the ground of Trussell’s having been a minister of the king.

His wife, Margaret, was co-heiress in 1355 to her brother, Edmund de Haudlo, Knt. In 1355 he sued Thomas Hamond, of Faryndon, Gloucestershire regarding a reasonable account of the time he was his bailiff in Slaughter and Charingworth (in Ebrington), Gloucestershire and his receiver of money.

In 1365 the king granted him an annuity of 20 marks for the damage done to Appulby’s land by the royal deer in Bernwood forest in Buckinghamshire. In 1375 he was pardoned for being outlawed in the Husting of London at the suit of Thomas Wiltesshire, Citizen and skinner of London, touching a debt of £4 15s. In 1380 he was granted the manor of Vanne (in Crundale), Kent for life by the king. The following year he was likewise granted the manor of Trentworth (in Crundale), Kent for life. JOHN DE APPLEBY, Esq., died shortly before 22 October 1389. In 1391 Margaret, in her widowhood, quitclaimed to Agnes Prioress of Studley and the convent there all messuages, lands, etc., in Esses (in Bekley), Oxfordshire sometime of John atte Nasche. In Hilary term 1391 she sued John Adam, chaplain, and others in the Court of Common Pleas regarding the manor of Chadlington Wahull, Oxfordshire, which she claimed as her right and inheritance. In 1391 she sold the manor of Chadlington Wahull, Oxfordshire to Thomas Barentyne for £200. Margaret is said to have died about 1394.
