Biography
Iseult or Isolda Faringdon was the daughter and heir of Thomas Faringdon, of Tincleton and Winterbourne Faringdon in Dorset and his second wife, Margaret Gouvitz, the daughter and co-heir of John Gouvitz[1]
iseult's birth date is unknown, but as she is described as being at least 48 in 1482, then would have been born about 1434.[1]
She married as his first wife, Sir William Martyn[2],[3]
There appears to only be one child of this marriage for whom there is sufficient evidence but there may have been other children.
- Christopher Martyn,[3],[2] born about 1464, based on said to be age 40 and more in one of the inquisitions post mortem taken after the death of his father in 1504.[4]
Although Iseult was her father's heir, she didn't receive East and West Tincleton and perhaps other properties until the death of her mother in 1482.[1]
The date Iseult died is unknown, but must have been after 1482, though perhaps not much longer after this date as her husband married a second time to Christina

After William's death one IPM says "Christopher Martyn, his son and heir, was then 26 years of age" WILLIAM MARTYN, knight. Commission, wanting; inquisition 28 October, 23 Henry VII BUT Commission of concealments, &c., 24 March, 19 Henry VII; inquisition 24 November, 20 Henry VII He died 24 March last. Christopher Martyn, aged 40 and more, is his son and heir
so, on 24 March 1503/4 the eldest son of marriage born c.1478 or before. Either way the marriage date seems to be incorrect. ( children, Richard and Elizabeth default heirs in IPM from marriage to Christiana http://www.british-history.ac.uk/inquis-post-mortem/series2-vol3/pp209-250 http://www.british-history.ac.uk/inquis-post-mortem/series2-vol2/pp602-616
