Research Notes

Daughter Mary: See this page for a discussion of the father of Mary (m le Strange): Edmund or Richard.^[13]

Note - Magna Carta project policy states:

"Magna Carta Ancestry and Royal Ancestry by Douglas Richardson are the foundational sources for the Magna Carta Project. Where there is a conflict regarding the facts on a profile, we follow Richardson, unless there is more recent published research that adds to or corrects his work." (this presumes the conflict is among secondary, not primary, sources. ~ Liz Shifflett, Magna Carta project co-leader, 2018)

The Medieval Genealogy page (cited for daughter Mary) was "last updated: 11 February 2003."^[13] Richardson's Magna Carta Ancestry and Royal Ancestry were published 2011 and 2013 (respectively).

Death/burial: The Find A Grave memorial, "citing Haughmond Abbey," states she died at age 50 on 23 May 1338, "Arundel, Arun District, West Sussex, England. Burial: Haughmond Abbey, Shrewsbury, Shropshire Unitary Authority, Shropshire, England".^[6] This is in conflict with Richardson, who notes that she died before 23 May 1338 and that she is buried in London. I was unable to confirm FindAGrave's information to a source, as clicking links to "explore more" did not discover a "Haughmond Abbey" source (the Ancestry search results included conflicting information from non-FindAGrave sources). A citation for "Una Rees, ed., The Cartulary of Haughmond Abbey, p.227 (1985)." was included on Edward's memorial.^[14] The limited search available through HathiTrust (accessed 2 April 2018), revealed two instances of Warenne, pp 224 and 287, but not any text. ~ Noland-165 04:04, 2 April 2018 (EDT)
