Okay, so Maddison 1:167 says that Anne "was the daughter of Gerard,
the sister and coheiress of Gerard and the great-granddaughter and
heiress of Lora" [Furnival] as you say. We also know from pedigrees
of the Usflete family previously cited that Gerard who married
Elizabeth Fitzalan was also a great-grandchild of Lora and that his
father was Gerard (the 2nd of three). This makes the younger Gerard
with the Fitzalan wife the brother of Anne (Usflete) Bozom - even if
Maddison doesn't mention the Fitzalan marriage.
What you call "assumptions" regarding the marriages of the Gerard
Usfletes are pretty clear in the pedigrees that have been cited. I
don't see what your objections are to this configuration of the family
- except that the Edward I descent goes away.
BTW the 2004 edition of Richardson's Plantagenet Ancestry also says
that Gerard Usflete and Elizabeth Fitzalan (or Arunddel as DR prefers)
had no issue. I'll ask again - what source can you cite which
contradict this?
