Biography

European Aristocracy
Isabel Zouche was a member of the aristocracy in England.

Isabel was a daughter of William la Zouche, 1st Lord Zouche or La Zouche (of Haryngworth), and his wife Maud Lovel, daughter of John Lovel, 1st Lord Lovel (of Titchmarsh).[1]

She is named with 8 of her siblings, the younger children of William, in a licence, dated 26 March 1326, in which her father enfeoffs Ralph Cosyn, of the castle of Totteneys and the manor of Cornworthi, county Devon; the manors of Caleston and the hundred of Calne in county Wiltshire, the manor of Moelbraci in county Shropshire, and the manor of Heygrave and 2 parts of the manor of Briggewater in county Somerset. Ralph Cosyn then regrants these estates to William for life with successive remainders to the 5 sons - William, John, Roger, Thomas, John and Edmund, and 3 daughters, Millicent, wife of William Dayncourst, and Isabel and Thomasina who are both presumably unmarried as of this date.[2]

There appear to be no other primary records that definitely name Isabel.

Research Notes

The Complete Peerage, 2nd ed., vol. 8, p. 218, names Isabel the wife of John Lovel, 3rd Lord Lovel of Tichmarsh, as "said to be a sister of William Zouche [Lord Zouche of Haringworth]" with the note (l) that "there is no authority for her parentage."

Various secondary sources instead state that the wife of John Lovel, 3rd Lord Lovel, might be this profile; Isabel, the daughter of William Zouche. However although this is better chronologically as John Lovel, was born about September 1314, there is the problem that they would be first cousins and such a marriage would be definitely forbidden by the church. See discussion by Douglas Richardson of this issue on soc.genealogy.medieval discussion group.

There is also a suggestion that Isabel la Zouche, could be the Isabel or Elizabeth, the wife of James Lovel, of the family of the Lovels of Castle Cary, who were probably unrelated to the Lovels of Tichmarsh. See Weber genealogy in Rootsweb. However the source cited, The Complete Peerage, 2nd ed., vol. 8, p. 207 has no mention at all of this possibility. Nor is it mentioned in any updates to this volume.

Lovel-53 and Zouche-61 appear to represent the same person because: Appears to be a clear duplicate:

Isabel la Zouche m. Lovel = Elizabeth Lovel

Note the Zouche family group is robust, on WikiTree; while the Lovels are flimsy, but have living descendants here. Will be good to connect them, once the profile managers are confident this is a valid merge.

Cheers
