Biography

In 1282, Eva de Oswaldestre complained that the manors of Tyxhal, Ypstanes, Weston and Chetewynd in cos Stafford and Salop, of which she had custody by the gift of Adam de Chetewynd long before his death, and after he died they were taken into the king's hand's by the sheriff.^[1]

Also John son of Philip enfeoffed John son of Adam de Chetewynd of the manor of Hortwell, which was also taken into the king's hand by the sheriff.^[1]

Adam de Chetewynd was escheator of Chester.^[2]

“John FitzPhilip granted to Eva, daughter of Roger de Albo Monasterio, and John de Chetwynd, her son, certain woodlands at Barlaston between Berryhill and Cokenegge (Cocknage), for which she paid him ten pounds in silver. Her mother was a Princess of Wales, widow of Llewelyn ap Jorwerth, who took Blancmoistiers for her second husband some time after 1240. Blancmostiers, or, more properly, Blackminster, is synonymous with the Latin form De Albo Monasterio, the name by which Oswestry or Oswaldestre was known for its beautiful Minster church. The family had also lands in Cornwall and in Yorkshire, being dscended from the Yorkshire Hagets on the mother’s side. And they were allied in marriage with Bartholomew Turet or Toret, one of those Shropshire knights who were out in rebellion against King John.” ^[3]

N.B.: Eva is not numbered among the four sisters who were daughters of William de Blancminister either by Eva Fitzwarin or Amice de Audley. It is unclear who Roger de Albo Monasterio was. ^[4]

According to Antiquities of Shropshire, there were two locations in Shropshire called Whitchurch or Albo Monasterio, one of them being Oswestry and the other the Whitchurch formerly called Weston. ^[5]
