Biography

Margaret, Countess of Warwick^[1]

Margaret de Ferrers, daughter of William de Ferrers, Knt., 3rd Lord Ferrers of Groby, and his wife Margaret de Ufford,^[2] married Thomas Beauchamp, K.G., before April 1381.^[1]

She and Thomas had only one son, Richard,^[3] and two daughters, Katherine and Margaret.^[1]

• Son Richard Beauchamp, K.G., K.B.,13th Earl of Warwick, born January 1381/2, married Elizabeth Berkeley (daughter of Thomas Berkeley and his wife, Margaret, daughter of Warin de Lisle).^[4]

Sir Thomas died 8 April 1401.^[5] His widow Margaret died 22 January 1406/7,^[6] leaving a will dated 28 November 1406. They are buried "at south part of the collegiate church at St. Mary's, Warwick."^[1]

Research Notes

Estimated Date: Birth "about 1360" is apparently based on her son's January 1381/2 birth.^[4] Her husband was born "before 16 March 1338/9".^[1] Her parents married "before 25 April 1344".^[7]

Other Reported Children

Richardson lists three children for Thomas and Margaret,^[8] but some speculate the daughters attributed to them were actually the daughters of Thomas's older brother Guy ^[9]

• Elizabeth Beauchamp, born about 1378^{[citation needed][10]}
• Mary (Beauchamp) Bedlisgate^{[citation needed]}
• William Beauchamp^{[citation needed]}

The trail has not yet been developed, though substantial parts overlap with other trails. Details of it can be found here. Margaret is also a descendant of Surety Baron Saher de Quincy through her father.^[2]
