Dear Newsgroup ~
Complete Peerage 8 (1932): 170 (sub Louth) includes an account of John de Bermingham, Earl of Louth [died 1329].
Regarding his mother, C.P. identifies her as "Ela (living 7 Dec. 1308), sister and coh. of Edmund, and 2nd da. of William de Oddingsells, of Maxstoke, co. Warwick." END OF QUOTE
Ancestor 10 (1904): 32–51 includes a well researched article on the Clinton family of Warwickshire. This article includes information on Ela de Oddingseles, wife of Peter de Bermingham. It provides solid evidence that Ela de Oddingseles subsequently married (2nd) Eustace le Poer/Power, Knt., and (3rd) Philip Purcell. It further shows that on 6 May 1320 Ela and her third husband, Philip Purcell, released Ela's right in the manor of Solihill, Warwickshire to John, Bishop of Ely.

Elsewhere I find further confirmation of Ela's 2nd marriage to her 2nd husband, Eustace le Poer/Power/Knt. Ela and Eustace are included as plaintiffs in a Common Pleas lawsuit dated Hilary term 1312 which involves the four Oddingseles co-heirs:
In Trinity term [31 May-21 June] 1312 Ida de Clinton, Eustache Power and Ela his wife, Alice de Caunton, and Margaret de Grey sued John de Blosmevill, of Kniton, in the Court of Common Pleas regarding 26 acres of land and 4 acres of meadower in Solihull, Warwickshire, which the said John claimed as his right.

Ela and her 3rd husband, Philip Purcell, were evidently both living in 1322/3-1324/5. Journal of Galway Arch. & Hist. Society 10 (1917–18): 139–154 (re. Bermingham fam.) states that Finola, widow of Richard [de Bermingham], sued Philip Purcell and his wife [Ela de Oddingseles] and the Earl of Louth [Ela’s son] in respect of Finola’s dower in half of the manor of Donamon. The author cites as his sources: [Plea Rolls] 16 Ed. II, R. 141 m 5d., 17 Ed. II., 18 Ed. II, Vol. 54, p. 13.
Elsewhere C.P. 1 (1910): 298 (sub Athenry) states that Finola, widow of Richard de Bermingham, 2nd Lord Athenry, was assigned dower in 1322, simply citing Plea Roll.
It appears that Ela de Oddingseles' 2nd husband, Sir Eustace le Poer (or Power), served as a member of Parliament in 1295. Grace, Annales Hiberniæ (1842): 59 states that he died in 1311. I assume 1311/12 is here intended, as is seen above, Sir Eustace was still living in Hilary term [24 Jan.-12 Feb.] 1312, when he occurs as a plaintiff in a Common Pleas lawsuit. Sir Eustace certainly died before 30 May 1312, on which date the editor of Annales Hiberniæ indicates that Ela, widow of Sir Eustace, was assigned dower, she having made oath that she would not marry without the king's license. The editor cites the following sources for the assignment of her dower: Rot. Cl. 5 Ed. II. 49.
Below are further records which concern Ela de Oddingseles' 2nd husband, Sir Eustace le Poer (or Power).
Kimber, Peerage of Ireland 1 (1768): 140 [biog. of Sir Eustace le Poer: Sir Eustace le Poer, who sat in a parliament held in 1295, of which parliament Cox has given the list in pages 85 and 86; and in the year 1297, the 25th of Edward I. the king sent to John Wogan, lord justice, commanding him to give summons to the nobles of Ireland to prepare themselves with horse and armour, to serve in the war against the Scots, and withal, wrote to the said nobles, and among others, to this Sir Eustace. (Holl. 63. See the letter in Sir George Carew’s collection a M.S.S. in the Bodlean library, page 51. vol. 3. who quotes it thus, Clausæ de Anno 25. E. I. M. 14. in Scedule pendente). And there is also, in the same book and page, another letter from the same king o his nobles, and among others, to this Sir Eustace, (Clausæ de Anno 30. E. I. M. 16. in Scedule pendene.). Sir Eustace died in 1311; Cambden and Marl. sub hoc anno, leaving issue, Lord Arnold Le Poer ...”).
Grace, Annales Hiberniæ (1842): 59 (sub A.D. 1311: "Eustace Power dies."), 59, footnote u: “Eustatius Power. On the 30th of May 1312, Ela, widow of Eustace le Poer, having made oath that she would not marry without the king's license, was ordered a reasonable dower from her husband's lands. - Rot. Cl. 5 Ed. II. 49.”).
Wright, Narrative of the Procs. against Dame Alice Kyteler for Sorcery (Camden Soc. 24) (1843): 51 (“Benedict le Poer, lord of the same and of Gras Castle, in right of his wife Margaret, daughter and heir of William de Gras, of Gras Castle in Tipperary, by whom he had many sons: 1. _____ le Poer, who was father of Eustace le Poer, who was summoned to parliament in 1295, as lord le Poer, and married the daughter and coheir of Sir William de Odingsels, lord of Maxtock and Solehall Wolverley in Warwickshire, and relict of Peter de Birmingham, but had no issue; 2. Walter, heir to his brother; 3. Benedict, father of Stephen, who had a son, Stephen, sergeant of Overk, mentioned in p. 4.”
Brewer & Bullen, Cal. of Carew MSS: Book of Howth (1871): 367 (“Extent of rents and services of the free Barony of Ouerke made [20 June] 7 Ed. II. [1314]: “Land in Coulodimore, held by Nicholas Blundell; which lands were demised to Nicholas, former Bishop of Leghlin, who demised them to Eustace Le Poer, and now Arnald Le Poer holds them.").
Cal. Patent Rolls, 1301–1307 (1898): 257 (Date: 1304. “Grant to Eustace le Poer, in consideration of his service in Scotland and elsewhere, of 700 marks, at the Exchequer, Dublin which Hugh Purcel owes.”).
Jour. of the Royal Society of Antiquaries of Ireland 31 (1901): 368 ("In 1301 Eustace le Poer, the Munster baron, had a grant of free warren in his demesne lands of Kenmoy and Castleconor.”)

In summary, we see that Ela de Oddingseles had not one, but three marriages, and that she was living as late as 1322/3-1324/5.

Or is it an addition simply because it isn't contained within CP, regardless of relevance - in the same way that the independence of East Timor or the change of Britney Spears' conservatorship might be considered a "CP Addition"?

Dear Newsgroup ~
Following my recent post regarding the various marriages of Ela de Oddingseles, I realized that Ela de Oddingseles is the paternal grandmother of Sir Walter de Bermingham, husband of Elizabeth de Multon, and the great-grandmother of Sir Walter de Bermingham, husband of Margaret (or Margery) de Scales.
I've copied below my current file account of both Sir Walter de Bermingham's, both of whom are found in a pedigree chart of the Bermingham family in Complete Peerage 1 (1910): 298 (sub Athenry). The elder Sir Walter has modern descendants through his daughter, Margaret, wife of Robert de Preston, Knt., Lord of Gormanston, for whom see Complete Peerage 6 (1926): 18–19 (sub Gormanston). While the younger Walter de Bermingham left no issue, his widow, Margaret (or Margery) de Scales, married (2nd) Robert Howard, and is ancestral to the later Howards, Dukes of Norfolk, and Queen Katherine Howard, wife of King Henry VIII of England.
I note that Complete Peerage 11 (1949): 507 (sub Scales) mentions Margaret Scales, wife of Sir Robert Howard, but makes no mention of her marriage to Sir Walter de Bermingham.
Elsewhere I see there is a good pedigree of the Bermingham family including Ela de Oddingseles and members of her immediate family, including the two Walter der Bermingham's, and her later Preston descendants published in Betham, Dignities, Feudal & Parliamentary 1 (1830): 374 (Bermingham ped.). This pedigree can be found at the following weblink:

14. ROBERT DE HAVERINGTON (or HARINGTON, HARYNGTON), Knt., of Aldingham, Lancashire, son and heir apparent of John de Haverington, Knt., 1st Lord Harington, of Harrington, Cumberland, Aldingham, Thurnham, Ulverston, and Urswick, Lancashire, by Joan, probable daughter of William de Dacre, Knt. He married in or before 1327 ELIZABETH DE MULTON, daughter and co-heiress of Thomas de Multon, Knt., 1st Lord Multon of Egremont, by Eleanor, daughter of Richard de Burgh, Knt., 3rd Earl of Ulster, lord of Connacht [see MULTON 8 for her ancestry]. She was born about 1306 (aged 28 in 1334). They had two sons, John, Knt., and Robert, Knt., and allegedly two daughters. In 1331 he was going to Ireland on the king’s service. SIR ROBERT DE HAVERINGTON died in Ireland in or before 1334. His widow, Elizabeth, married (2nd) in or before November 1334 WALTER DE BERMINGHAM (or BERMYNGHAM, BERMENGEAM, BIRMYNGHAM, BYRMYNGHAM), Knt., of Castle-Carbury, Carrick, and Thetmoy [or Monasteroris], co. Kildare, Ireland, Kells and Schanbo, co. Kilkenny, etc., Justiciar of Ireland, 1346–9, and, in right of his wife, of Algarkirk, Fleet, Moulton, and Weston, Lincolnshire, son and heir of William de Bermingham, Knt. [died 1332] [brother of John de Bermingham, Earl of Louth].[1] They had one son, Walter, Knt., and one daughter, Margaret (wife of Robert de Preston, Knt., Lord of Gormanston). He was knighted by the Earl of Desmond in 1330. He and his father William were arrested by the Justiciar at Clonmel in 1332, and subsequently transferred to Dublin Castle. His wife, Elizabeth, was co-heiress in 1334 to her brother, John de Multon, Knt., 2nd Lord Multon of Egremont, by which she inherited an one-third interest in the manors of Moulton, Beausolace (in Algarkirk), Fleet, Kirkton, and Skirbeck, Lincolnshire, and Thurstan (in Hawkedon), Suffolk, as well as various manors in co. Limerick, Ireland. In 1337 Alan de Multon, steward of Joan widow of Robert Fitz Walter, Thomas de Lucy, and Walter de Bermyngham, trustees of lands and advowsons in Lincolnshire late of John de Multon, lord Egremont, presented to the church of Waddingham, Lincolnshire. In 1337 Walter de Byrmyngham acknowledged that he owed John de Wodehous, clerk, a debt of £8; to be levied, etc. in co. Lincoln. The same year Walter de Birmyngham, John Darcy ‘le cosyn,’ Elias de Assheburn, knights, and Nicholas de Snyterle, acknowledged that they owed the king £1000; to be levied, in default of payment, of their lands and chattels in co. Nottingham. He presented to the church of Algarkirk, Lincolnshire in 1338. In 1339 he and Elizabeth his wife conveyed to Robert de Rotington one-third of the manor of Ullayk and land in Braithwaite, Cumberland. In 1343 Maurice de Bermingham and Robert de Rotington conveyed one-third of the manor of Egremont, Cumberland to Walter and Elizabeth his wife. SIR WALTER DE BERMINGHAM died testate shortly before 16 September 1350. His wife, Elizabeth, died before 30 October 1350. In 1352 Maurice de Bermingham, parson of the church of Algarkirk, Lincolnshire, and William Hode, of Fleet, Lincolnshire, executors of the will of Walter de Bermingham, Knt., sued John de Bristowe, of Algarkirk, Lincolnshire, regarding a debt of £7. In 1353 Maurice de Bermingham, parson of the church of Algarkirk, Lincolnshire, and William Hode, of Fleet, Lincolnshire, executors of the will of Walter de Bermingham, Knt., sued Laurence son of Laurence Fitz Giles, of Fleet, Lincolnshire, in the Court of Common Pleas regarding an account.

[1] William de Bermingham, Knt., and his brother, John de Bermingham, Earl of Louth, were children of Peter de Bermingham, of Thetmoy [or Monasteroris], co. Kildare, Ireland [died before 1303], by his wife, Ela, daughter of William de Oddingseles, Knt., Justiciar of Ireland [see ODDINGSELES 8].
Following my recent post regarding the various marriages of Ela de Oddingseles, I realized that Ela de Oddingseles is the paternal grandmother of Sir Walter de Bermingham, husband of Elizabeth de Multon, and the great-grandmother of Sir Walter de Bermingham, husband of Margaret (or Margery) de Scales.
I've copied below my current file account of both Sir Walter de Bermingham's, both of whom are found in a pedigree chart of the Bermingham family in Complete Peerage 1 (1910): 298 (sub Athenry). The elder Sir Walter has modern descendants through his daughter, Margaret, wife of Robert de Preston, Knt., Lord of Gormanston, for whom see Complete Peerage 6 (1926): 18–19 (sub Gormanston). While the younger Walter de Bermingham left no issue, his widow, Margaret (or Margery) de Scales, married (2nd) Robert Howard, and is ancestral to the later Howards, Dukes of Norfolk, and Queen Katherine Howard, wife of King Henry VIII of England.
I note that Complete Peerage 11 (1949): 507 (sub Scales) mentions Margaret Scales, wife of Sir Robert Howard, but makes no mention of her marriage to Sir Walter de Bermingham.
Elsewhere I see there is a good pedigree of the Bermingham family including Ela de Oddingseles and members of her immediate family, including the two Walter der Bermingham's, and her later Preston descendants published in Betham, Dignities, Feudal & Parliamentary 1 (1830): 374 (Bermingham ped.). This pedigree can be found at the following weblink:

He was knighted by the Earl of Desmond in 1330. He and his father William were arrested by the Justiciar at Clonmel in 1332, and subsequently transferred to Dublin Castle. His wife, Elizabeth, was co-heiress in 1334 to her brother, John de Multon, Knt., 2nd Lord Multon of Egremont, by which she inherited an one-third interest in the manors of Moulton, Beausolace (in Algarkirk), Fleet, Kirkton, and Skirbeck, Lincolnshire, and Thurstan (in Hawkedon), Suffolk, as well as various manors in co. Limerick, Ireland.

SIR WALTER DE BERMINGHAM died testate shortly before 16 September 1350. His wife, Elizabeth, died before 30 October 1350. In 1352 Maurice de Bermingham, parson of the church of Algarkirk, Lincolnshire, and William Hode, of Fleet, Lincolnshire, executors of the will of Walter de Bermingham, Knt., sued John de Bristowe, of Algarkirk, Lincolnshire, regarding a debt of £7. In 1353 Maurice de Bermingham, parson of the church of Algarkirk, Lincolnshire, and William Hode, of Fleet, Lincolnshire, executors of the will of Walter de Bermingham, Knt., sued Laurence son of Laurence Fitz Giles, of Fleet, Lincolnshire, in the Court of Common Pleas regarding an account.
