Genealogy) March 1980, Albert F. Schedule was committed to the Tower, 17 Nov. 1326 (before the execution of her husband). Her lands were restored to her, 22 Apr. 1328, and the King took her homage and fealty therefor, 11 May following. Before Jan. 1328/9 she was abducted from
Hanley Castle by Sir William La Zouche de Mortimer, of Ashby, co. Leicester, who (subsequently) married her. Soon afterwards this William, accompanied by her, was besieging her castle of Caerphilly, and orders for their arrest issued, 5 Feb.
1328/9. She was imprisoned in the Tower and then in Devizes Castle, and though ordered to be released by the King and his Council did not regain her liberty till after 6 Jan 1329/30. [on the same day she was kidnapped from Hanley Castle by
Zouche] John de Grey [of Rotherfield] claiming her as his wife, obtained a commission of oyer and terminer. He was still claiming her as late as May 1333, having in the interval pursued her, with little success, through various ecclesiastical
courts, the Pope having been appealed to a at least three times. In Jan. 1331/2 he had hot words with his rival before the King and the council. "Et apres les choudes paroles si mist le dit monsire Johan mayn au cotel et treit en partie, mes
ne mie tut hors de gayne." For this he was imprisoned, and his lands taken into the King's hand, for a couple of months. ---------------------------- She was charged with having stolen from the Tower jewels and treasure of great value [these
were probably her late husband's, his wardrobe having been there]. In the petition she stated that Roger de Mortimer, late Earl of March, had said openly tht she would not be released till she and her husband had surrendered to the King her
lands of Glamorgan and Morgannoc, and the manors of Hanley and Tewkesbury, which Roger coveted. Accordingly, by indenture dated 30 Dec. 3 Edw. III, they granted all these lands to the King, the same to be restored to the premises for a fine of L10,000 in one day, and they were pardoned 22 Feb. following. On 19 Jan. 1330/1, after Mortimer had been hanged, they recovered the premises for a fine fo L10,000, reduced 3 days afterwards to L5,000. On 13 Oct. 1335 they were pardoned a futher 2,000 marks, but the fine was not paid in full during their lives. She was committed to the Tower, 17 Nov. 1326 (before the execution of her husband).
