Biography

Isabel de Newmarche married Ralph Russell.^[1]

In 1224, Ralph Russel had livery of her lands in Somerset, Wiltshire and Gloucester.^[2]

Henry de Newmarch's heir was his youngest son James who died leaving two daughters co-heiresses to the barony, Isabel the eldest and Hawise. The barony was split, with a moiety going to the husband of each daughter, to be held on her behalf. James de Newmarch had died in 1216 whilst his daughters were still legal infants, i.e. under 18 years old, and the marriage of Isabel, and possibly of Hawise also, was granted by King Henry III to Sir John Russell of Kingston Russell in Dorset. Russell married off Isabel de Newmarch to his son Sir Ralph Russell, and thus the moiety of the barony of Newmarch containing Dyrham came into the Russell family.^[3]
