Matilda was the daughter of Simon de St Liz/Senlis and Maud, daughter of Waltheof, Earl of Huntingdon.[1][2][3]
Matilda married twice. Her first husband was Robert de Clare, who died in the period 1134-1136.[1][2][4][5] They had at least three children
Robert de Clare died in 1137.[4]
Matilda's second husband was Saher de Quincy.[1][2][3] They had at least two children:
They probably had one other daughter:
Matilda's second husband probably died in about 1157, when the Pipe Rolls record his son Saher inheriting some of his lands.[8] There is also a Pipe Rolls record for 1157-8 of Maud coming into possession of what appear to be dower lands from her marriage to him.[1] She died no later than 1163, when her son Saher paid a fine of 1 mark in relation to her manor at Eynesbury, Huntingdonshire.[2]
Douglas Richardson's entry for Maud/Matilda in Royal Ancestry conflates her second husband Saher de Quincy with their son of the same first name.[4]
Keats-Rohan suggests that Jueta who married Robert FitzLancelin may possibly have been a daughter of Maud and Saher de Quincy. Her basis for this is that Saher's son Saher restored a knight's fee at Childerley, Cambridgeshire to Jueta's son William and grandson Rainald/Reginald.[7][8] The charter confirming this is also cited in Farrer's Honors and Knights' Fees,[11] but Farrer does not name Jueta's parents, and Keats-Rohan's tentative identification of them must be regarded as very uncertain.
A manuscript relating to the foundation of Dunmow Priory suggests that Matilda died in 1140, but dates in this are not reliable.[1]
