Biography

Isabel was the daughter of John de St Amand and Margaret le Despenser.^[1][2] Her birth date is not known, but given the dates for her marriage and the births of her daughters, it will have been before 1330.

On 3 November 1329 an agreement was signed for her marriage to Richard de Haudlo/Handlo. Their wedding took place before 16 December 1330,^[1][2] when Isabel is referred to as wife of Richard de Haudlo in a Patent Rolls entry relating to land at Shotover and Stow Wood, Oxfordshire^[3] They had three children:

• Edmund^{[1][2][4][5][6][7]}
• Margaret,^[5][6] born on 5 September 1334, who married Gilbert Casteleyn and John de Appleby, and who proved her age on 6 April 1358^[3]
• Elizabeth, born on 5 June 1339, who married Edmund de la Pole^[1][2][5][6]

Richard de Haudlo/Handlo died on 14 December 1342 ("Saturday next after St Lucy" in his Inquisition Post Mortem).^[1][2][8]

Isabel remarried before 20 August 1346, her second husband being Robert de Hildesley.^[1][2][3][7] On 15 September 1346 they had livery of lands in Oxfordshire that had belonged to her first husband.^[3]

Isabel died on 22 October 1361.^{[1][2][9][10]} Her Inquisitions Post Mortem showed her holding lands in Gloucestershire and Oxfordshire and named her daughters Margaret and Elizabeth as her heirs.^[9][10]

Research Notes

Father

A number of sources identify Isabel's father as Aumarie/Almarie/Aymer de St Amand:

• the Haudlo entries in Volume VI of the revised edition of Cokayne's Complete Peerage:^[3] but the Saint Amand entries in Volume XI state that Aumarie died without surviving children in 1310^[11]
• a short pedigree chart in T C Banks's Baronia Anglicana Concentrata^[5]
• the Harleian Society edition of the Visitations of Oxfordshire (husband named as "St Aymer de St Amond")^[12]

Aumarie was her uncle, and died in 1310, leaving no issue.^{[1][2][11][13]}
