Biography

Maud was born about 1507, in Gloucestershire, the daughter of John Rastall (1482-1534) and his wife Margaret. She was described in the Visitation of Gloucester as Matilda, daughter of ?, widow of Henry Marmion, wife of Thomas Lane. ^[1]

Maud was a beneficiary in the 1533 will of her father John. ^[2]

Marriages

She married firstly Henry Marmion, gentleman and alderman of Gloucester, and they had two children; ^[3]

1. Thomas Marmion Esq. c.1538-1580
2. Isabel c.1540

Henry Marmion died c.1542. She was named in his will. ^[4]

She married secondly Thomas Lane, recorder of Gloucester. They had a son, William Lane, c. 1544-1620. Thomas Lane died c.1544. ^[5] Maud was named in Thomas's will of 1544. ^[6]

She married thirdly, Richard Pate, MP., who founded a school in 1574 which later became Pate's Grammar School.^[5]

In the contemporary references of her husbands' wills, she is always referred to as Maud. She is, however, called Matilda in the 1628 Visitation of Gloucester which was compiled at a later date.
