C.P. Addition: Margaret de Mauley, daughter of Peter de Mauley, 4th Lord Mauley
Douglas Richardson
The authoritative Complete Peerage, 8 (1932): 567-568 gives a good
account of the life history of Sir Peter de Mauley (died 1383), 4th
Lord Mauley. Regarding his 2nd marriage, the following information is
given on pg. 568:
"He married, 2ndly, in or before 1371, Constance (elder sister of his
son's wife), daughter and coheiress of Sir Thomas de Sutton, of
Bransholme Castle and Sutton in Holderness, by Agnes his wife ... She
died 9 June 1401."
Complete Peerage, 8: 568, footnote e, indicates that Sir Peter de
Mauley left a will dated 8 March 1381/2, in which he mentioned his wife
Constance and their unnamed children.
C.P. 8 (1932): 568, footnote h, indicates that Peter and his wife,
Constance, had no son; it mentions only one child of this couple,
namely a daughter, Constance, who is "said to have married Robert de
Hilton, of Swine (Poulson, Holderness, vol. ii, p. 326)."
Calendar of Patent Rolls, 1391-1396 (1905): 654-655 proves,
however, that it was Constance de Sutton herself who married before 28
August 1395 Robert de Hilton, not a daughter named Constance.
Regardless, the helpful online A2A Catalogue
(http://www.a2a.org.uk/search/index.asp) includes an item which
indicates that Lady Constance de Mauley did in fact have a surviving
child by her Mauley marriage, namely a daughter, Margaret de Mauley,
who in 1402 appears to have been a nun at Denny Priory:
Yorkshire Archaeological Society: St Quintin of Harpham Collection,
Reference: MD229/8:
Thomas Seint Quyntyn and Agnes his wife appointed as attorneys 19 July
1402 by Isabel de Kendale, Abbess of Denny, to receive £10 due to
Margaret de Maule from her mother Lady Constance de Maule. END OF
QUOTE.
In a related vein, the helpful online A2A Catalogue includes a
transcript of a settlement dated 1377, by which Sir Thomas de Sutton
(father of Constance above) settled various properties on himself and
his wife, Agnes, for life, with successive reversions to their
daughters, Constance (wife of Peter de Mauley VI) and Margery (wife of
Peter de Mauley VII), and their heirs males. This settlement does not
appear to be cited by Complete Peerage.
