Biography
Maud, wife of Peter de Ludgershall and Hugh de Bocland was probably born circa 1140. She had three children with Peter, who took the surname Fitz Piers or Fitz Peter. The second son Geoffrey was wildly successful and was given the recreated title Earl of Essex by King John in 1199. In a charter dated between 1185 and 1200 Maud transferred property to Southwick Abbey. Her date of death is not known, but obviously it was after 1185. [1]
Also not known is the date of death of her first husband. Hugh de Bocland her second died in 1175. By him she had two children, the heir was their son William de Bocland. He and his half brother Geoffrey Fitz Piers married sisters who were the heirs of William de Say. [1]
Research notes
Concerning Maud's ancestry. Maud was not the daughter of Geoffrey de Mandeville. This is an error based on a difficult to decipher page on the family in the book The Complete Peerage.[2] This error was perpetuated in the Keats-Rohan book Domesday Descendants,[3] but has been corrected online.[4]

[Do you know Maud's family name?] | D > de Bocland > Maud (Unknown) de Bocland
From Doug Richardson- Complete Peerage gives solid evidence that Geoffrey Fitz Peter's parents were Peter de Ludgershall and his wife, Maud. Peter is known to have held the manor of Cherhill, Wiltshire. He was evidently also known as Peter the Forester. As such, I assume that he was forester of the royal forest of Ludgershall adjacent to Ludgershall Castle in Wiltshire. Maud's parentage is not known. It appears, however, that she had an interest in property at Costow, Wiltshire which may well have been her maritagium. Maud was probably closely related (possibly sister?) to Roger Fitz Geoffrey, of Somerford, Wiltshire, lineal ancestor of the Lords Mautravers. If Roger was her brother, it would explain the appearance of the name Geoffrey among her children.

Unless they have been corrected both Richardson and Magna Carta Sureties have the name Mandeville linked to all three persons.
