Other Events and Attributes:

• Royalty & Nobility: Countess of Hertford and Gloucester

Notes:

Maud de Lacy had a personality that was described as "highly competitive and somewhat embittered".[1] She became known as one of the most litigious women in the 13th century[1] as she was involved in numerous litigations and lawsuits with her tenants, neighbours, and relatives, including her own son. Author Linda Elizabeth Mitchell, in her Portraits of Medieval Women: Family, Marriage, and Politics in England 1225-1350', states that Maud's life has received "considerable attention by historians".[2]

She endowed many religious houses, including the Benedictine Stoke-by-Clare Priory, Suffolk (re-established in 1124 by Richard de Clare, 1st Earl of Hertford having been moved from Clare Castle) and Canonsleigh Abbey, Devon, which she re-founded as a nunnery.[10] She also vigorously promoted the clerical career of her son, Bovo, and did much to encourage his ambitions and acquisitiveness. She was largely responsible for many of the benefices that were bestowed on him, which made him the richest churchman of the period.[11] Although not an heiress, Maud herself was most likely the wealthiest widow in 13th century England.[1]

Maud married CLARE, Richard on 25 Jan 1238. Richard (son of DE CLARE, Gilbert and MARSHAL, Isabel) was born on 4 Aug 1222 in Gloucestershire, England; died on 22 Jul 1262. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

• Royalty & Nobility: Baron Zouche

Notes:

Eudo was a professional soldier; late in life he married Millicent de Cantilupe by whom he had three daughters and two sons. Their elder son William la Zouche was summoned by writ to Parliament as Baron Zouche of Haryngworth, on 16 August 1308. His daughter Elizabeth married Nicholas Poyntz. His great-great-great-grandson, the fifth Baron, married Alice Seymour, 6th Baroness St Maur, and assumed that peerage in her right. Their son succeeded to both titles; his stepmother, Elizabeth St. John, was an aunt of the future King Henry VII, a connection which proved useful to later members of the family. The seventh Baron was attainted in 1485 for loyalty to King Richard III but was eventually restored to his title and a part of his lands. On the death in 1625 of Edward la Zouche, 11th Baron Zouche, 12th Baron St Maur, the peerages fell into abeyance between his two daughters, Elizabeth and Mary.

Eudo married DECANTILUPE, Millicent on 13 Dec 1273 in Abergavenny, Monmouthshire, Wales. Millicent (daughter of CANTILUPE, William de and DE BRAOSE, Eva) was born in 1250 in Abergavenny, Monmouthshire, Wales; died on 7 Jan 1298 in Harringworth, Northamptonshire, England.
