Her year of birth is unknown and is estimated as c 1205.
First Marriage and Children
She married first Richard de Burgh, Lord of Connaught, Justiciar of Ireland, the son of William de Burgh.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8]
The marriage took place before 21 Apr 1225 when it was recorded that Walter de Lascy had given Ioganach Cassel to Richard de Burgh in marriage to Walter's daughter, Egidia.[9]
Children:
- daughter (married Hamon de Valoignes)[3][5]
- Alice de Burgh[3][5]
- Margery de Burgh (married Theobald le Butler)[3][5]
- daughter (married Gerald de Prendergast)[3][5]
- Richard de Burgh (born c 1226; died 1248)[2][3][5][10]
- Walter de Burgh (Earl of Ulster; died 28 July 1271)[3][5][7][11]
- William de Burgh (died 1270)[3][5][11]
20 Sep 1242: Richard de Burgh has intimated to the King that John de Marisco, who married Mabel, Richard's granddaughter, having been taken prisoner and disseised of his land by the King's order, Mabel was likewise disseised of the vill of Brunry, her marriage portion, and betook herself, with her children, to a house belonging to Richard, and is living at his expense. Mandate to Maurice Fitz Gerald, justiciary of Ireland, to cause Richard to have seisin of the said vill of Brunry for the maintenance of Mabel and her children.[12] Mabel may have been a daughter of Hamon de Valoignes.[13][14]
Richard de Burgh fell ill on the sea journey to Poitou and died in France in 1243.[2]
Second Marriage
Egidia married second Richard de Rochester, date unknown.[5][15]
- 08 Oct 1249: the Dominican friars of London have shown to the king that Egidia, who was the wife of Richard de Burgh senior, received 180 marks in which Richard was bound to Hubert de Burgh late Earl of Kent and which the Earl had left by his will to the friars, and that Richard of Rochester who subsequently married Egidia wasted her chattels....
Records
07 Mar 1242/1243: Record of the extent of manors which had belonged to Richard de Burgh in Munster, made by the sheriff of that province, and lands held in dower by the Lady Egidia.[16]
12 Aug 1243: Mandate to Maurice Fitz Gerald, justiciary of Ireland, to take into the King's hand the castles, lands, and tenements whereof Richard de Burgh was seised when he died, and to safely keep them till further orders; saving to Egidia, who was Richard's wife, her estover until dower be assigned to her.[17]
28 May 1244: Mandate to the justiciary of Ireland to cause Egidia, who was the wife of Richard de Burgh, to have her dower out of her husband's lands in the justiciary's custody, and to administer justice to her regarding her dower out of lands in the hand of others.[18]
13 Jun 1244 and 25 June 1245: Richard, son of Richard de Burgh, was under age and in the custody of the King.[19]
A charter dated 22 Feb 1246/1247 recorded the homage of Richard son and heir of Richard de Burgh for all his father´s lands … in Ireland … saving the dower of Egidia, who was Richard´s wife.[10]
05 November 1248:[20] Alice, who was the wife of Richard son and heir of Richard de Burgh, who died in the King's service at Bordeaux, to have dower out of all the lands whereof Egidia, who was the wife of the latter, was endowed.
27 Aug 1249: The manor of Tristelaurent had been given as dower to Alice, widow of Richard de Burgh, by virtue of the King's mandate to assign to Alice the lands which Egidia "her mother" held in dower.[21]
Death
It would appear that Egidia was living 22 February 1246/1247.[10][22]
Records from 05 Nov 1248[20]and 27 Aug 1249[21] indicate her dower was to be assigned to her daughter in law, Alice. This may suggest Egidia was deceased by this time.
The date and place of her death are unknown.
Research Notes
Egidia is a latin form of Gill or Gille. All the translations published in the Calendar of Documents Ireland referred to her as Egidia. Richardson refers to her as Gille.[3]
