The Five Daughters of William the Marshal
The five daughters of Marshal were all married, some more than once, and all had children. The daughters will be presented in regard to whom they married and the names of the children they had by each marriage.
Maud/Matilda married Hugh Bigod, earl of Norfolk, in 1206. Maud would have had to been born by 1193 in order to be at least thirteen when she married Bigod. By Hugh, Maud had three sons: Roger (dsp1270) who married Isabel sister of Alexander of Scotland; Hugh (d1266) who married Joane, daughter of Robert Burnet; and Ralph who married Berta, daughter of the baron of Furnival. Hugh Bigod died in 1225, and Maud married William of Warenne, earl of Surrey and son of Hamelin Plantagenet, bastard of Geoffrey of Anjou. By William, Maud had two children: John de Warenne (d1304) who married Alice of Lusignan, and Isabella who married Hugh de Albini, earl of Sussex. William de Warenne died in 1240 and Maud died in 1245. Maud’s son Roger, by Hugh Bigod, became Earl Marshal in right of his mother.
Isabel married Gilbert de Clare, seventh earl of Clare and fifth earl of Hertford, on October 9, 1217. This was soon after her father had captured Gilbert at the battle of Lincoln in May 1217. Gilbert was thirty-seven years old, but Isabel’s age in not known. Between 1217 and 1230, when Gilbert died, they had six children. These children were: Richard (d1262) who married Margaret, daughter of Hubert de Burgh, and secondly Maud, daughter of John de Lacy; William (dsp 1258); Gilbert (dsp?); Amicia (d1283) who married Baldwin de Redvers; Agnes (dsp 1226); and Isabel (d?) who married Robert de Brus. In April 1231, William the younger married his sister Isabel, widow of Gilbert de Clare, to Richard earl of Cornwall and brother to King Henry III. Isabel died in October 1239, and her grandson Gilbert "The Red" inherited her lands as well as the de Clare lands on the death of his father, Richard, in 1262.
Sibilla (d ante 1238) married, before 1219, William de Ferrers, earl of Derby, and they had seven daughters. These daughters were: Agnes (d1290) who married William de Vesci of Alnwick; Isabel (d1260) who married Gilbert Basset of Wycombe; Maud (d 1299) who married Simon de Kyme of Sotby; Sybil (d 1173/4) who married Franco de Bohun of Midhurst; Joan (d1268) who married John de Mohun of Dunster; Agatha (d1306) who married Hugh de Mortimer of Chelmarsh; and Eleanor (d1274) who married William de Vaux. Sibilla died after 1238 and William de Ferrers died in 1254.
Eve/Eva (d1246) married William de Braose (Briouze), son of Reginald de Braose, before 1219. They had four daughters, and William de Braose was hanged by Llywelyn ap Iorwerth in 1230. The stated reason for the hanging was the accusation that William had dallied with Llywelyn’s wife Joan, bastard of King John. This does not withstand close scrutiny, and William was in all probability hung for the crimes of his grandfather, William de Braose lord of Bramber and Abergavenny, against the Welsh.
Eve’s and de Braose’s daughters were: Maud/Matilda (d1301) who married Roger de Mortimer of Wigmore; Isabel (d?) who married (1229) David (d1246), son of Llywelyn ap Iorwerth; Eve (d1255) who married William de Cantelou; and Eleanor (d c 1250) who married Humphrey de Bohun earl of Hereford. It is worth noting that Eve’s daughter, Isabel, was married to the son of the man who had hung her father. Her fate is not known except for the fact that she and David had no children. There are records of letters between Isabel’s uncle William, her mother Eve, and Llywelyn about her marriage contract to David after her father’s death. Given the time period and known practices, it must be assumed that Isabel’s uncle, William, decided that the marriage was necessary for the good of the “feudal” family.
William de Braose was born in Brecon, probably between 1197 and 1204. The Welsh, who detested him and his family name, called him Gwilym Ddu, Black William. He succeeded his father in his various lordships in 1227, including Abergavenny and Buellt.[citation needed]
William married Eva Marshal, daughter of William Marshal, 1st Earl of Pembroke. They had four daughters
Isabella de Braose (born c. 1222 - 1248), wife of Prince Dafydd ap Llywelyn
Maud de Braose (born c. 1224 – 1301), wife of Roger Mortimer, 1st Baron Mortimer another very powerful Marcher dynasty.
Eleanor de Braose (c. 1226 – 1251), wife of Humphrey de Bohun and mother of Humphrey de Bohun, 3rd Earl of Hereford.
Eva de Braose (c. 1227 - July 1255), wife of William de Cantilupe (died 1254).
The last daughter was Johanna/Joan (d ante 1234) who married Warin de Munchensi of Swanscombe after 1220. They had three children: John (dsp 1247); William (d1287); and Joan (d1307) who married William de Valence (d1296). Warin died in 1255 and the inheritance of Johanna and Warin passed through their daughter Joan to the de Hastings of Abergavenny.
