• Notes

  Note: "Some Correction & Additions to CP", citing CP IX:610 note (c), suggests that Isabel may have been a younger daughter than her sister Margaret (because it was Margaret's son who became Duke of Norfolk), despite all the sources that have Isabel as eldest daughter. -------------------------- Isabel, widow of Henry Ferrers, son and heir of William, Lord Ferrers of Groby, and 1st daughter and in issue coheir of Thomas de Mowbray, Duke of Norfolk. She died a prisoner of Margaret, Countess of Shrewsbury, 2nd wife of John Talbot, Earl of Shrewsbury, and step-mother of James Berkeley's 4th wife. She [Margaret] was granddaughter and coheir of Thomas Berkeley, Lord Berkeley, uncle of James, from whom the title had passed to James. [Magna Charta Sureties] -------------------------- Isabel de Mowbray, d. 27 Sep 1452; m. (2) 1423/4, James de Berkeley, Lord Berkeley, b. c 1394, d. Nov 1463, MP 1421-1461 (son of Sir James de Berkeley, b. c 1353/4, dvf 13 June 1405 (elder brother & male heir of Sir Thomas de Berkeley, Lord Berkeley), and Elizabeth, daughter and heir of Sir John Blouet of Raglan, co. Monmouth, both sons of Maurice de Berkeley by Elizabeth Despencer [sic.], daughter of Sir Hugh le Despencer [sic.] and Alianore de Clare. [Magna Charta Sureties] --------------------------- Isabel Mowbray (died 27 Sep 1452), eldest daughter of 1st Duke of Norfolk of the 1396 creation and widow of Henry Ferrers (dvp 1394), son and heir of 5th Lord (Baron) Ferrers (of Groby). [Burke's Peerage] --------------------------- He [James de Berkeley] married, 3rdly, 1423-24, Isabel, widow of Henry FERRERS, son and heir apparent of William, Lord FERRERS (of Groby), and 1st daughter (whose issue became coheirs) of Thomas (DE MOWBRAY), DUKE OF NORFOLK, by Elizabeth, da. of RICHARD (FITZ ALAN), EARL OF ARUNDEL. She was, while about to appeal to the King in Council on behalf of her husband, arrested by order of Margaret, Countess of Shrewsbury (granddaughter and coheir of the last Lord Berkeley), and imprisoned at Gloucester, where she died 27 September 1452, and was buried in the church of the Greyfriars there. [Complete Peerage II:132-3, XIV:87, (transcribed by Dave Utzinger)] --------------------------- He [Henry Ferrers] married, shortly before 13 July 1416, Isabel, 1st daughter of Thomas (MOUBRAY), DUKE, or NORFOLK and EARL MARSHAL, by his 2nd wife, Elizabeth D'ARUNDELLE, sister and coheir of Thomas EARL OF ARUNDEL and 1st daughter of Richard EARL OF ARUNDEL. He died v.p. and s.p.m. His widow married, in or before 3 Hen. VI, as 2nd wife, Sir James BERKELEY, of Berkeley, co. Gloucester [LORD BERKELEY]. She died in Gloucester Castle, being then a prisoner there 23 September 1452, and was buried in the Church of the Grey Friars at Gloucester. He, who was born at Raglan, co. Monmouth, about 1394, died in Berkeley Castle shortly before 5 December 1463, and was buried in Berkeley Church. [Complete Peerage V:357-8, (transcribed by Dave Utzinger)] Note: Funny how some authors for CP (and other publications) like to fancy up the names "Moubray", "Arundelle", etc. It just adds to the difficulty (unnecessarily) of genealogy. Compare this entry to the similar one just above it for James de Berkely from CP. Rather than creating showy names, the author (G. W. Watson) of this article could have spent more productive time coming up with an approximate birth or death date for Henry. If the author was trying to stick close to the original spelling in certain documents, then why not "Richardus" instead of "Richard", or "Isabela" instead of "Isabel", or "Jacoba" instead of "James", as these were the names as written in Latin. --------------------------- Note: Isabel died in the custody of Margaret de Beauchamp because of a prolonged feud over the estates of Thomas de Berkeley and Margaret de Lisle. The feud ended 20 March 1469/70 with the Battle of Nibley Green in which James de Berkeley & Isabel de Mowbray's eldest son William 1st/last Marquess de Berkeley killed Margaret de Beauchamp & John Talbot's grandson Sir Thomas Talbot, 2nd/last Viscount Lisle.
