      Biography

      Maud de Percy[1]

      Maud, aka Matilda (the Latin form of Maud),[2] was the daughter of Henry de Percy, KG, 2nd Lord Percy, of Alnwick, Northumberland and Topcliffe, Yorkshire, etc., and Idoine de Clifford, daughter of Robert de Clifford, Knt., 1st Lord Clifford.[1] "A manuscript genealogy of the Percy family names Alianoram, Matildem…et Isabellam as the daughters of Henricus and his wife Idoniam de Clifford."[3]

      According to Richardson, Maud's parents had five sons and four daughters,[1] or perhaps she was one of ten children: "He [Henry de Percy] married Idonea (in his will she is called Imania), daughter of Robert Clifford, who died in 1365, and founded a chantry for herself and her husband at Meux (Chron. de Melsa, iii. 163). By her he had six sons and four daughters."[4]
      Birth

      Richardson does not provide a date or place of birth.[1][5]

      Since Maud was married "before 1362",[1][5] and if one estimates she was 18 at that time, then her birth year might be 1344.

      Richardson estimates the birth year of her husband to be between 1337 and 1340, as documents show him being aged 30 years in both 1367 and 1374.[5] Given these estimates for her husband, a birth year of 1340 might be the most reasonable estimate for Maud.

      Maud's father was of Alnwick, Northumberland, so there is some reason to estimate this as her birthplace. However, in 1332 Edward III granted Warkworth Castle, Northumberland, to Henry Percy, 2nd Baron Percy, and Warkworth, rather than Alnwick, was their favourite residence until the 17th century.[6] This could suggest Warkworth Castle as Maud's birth place.

      Marriage and Children

      Maud de Percy married John de Neville, KG, 3rd Baron Neville de Raby before 1362, as his first wife.[1][7] Together they had two sons and five daughters:

      Ralph, KG, 1st Earl of Westmoreland, 4th Lord Neville of Raby, born about 13641367, married first after 19 June 1382, to Margaret Stafford, daughter of Hugh de Stafford, K.G., 2nd Earl of Stafford and second, before 29 Nov 1396, to Joan (or Jane) Beaufort, widow of Robert Ferrers, Knt., 2nd Lord Ferrers of Wem and legitimated daughter of John of Gaunt, KG (son of King Edward III)[1]
      Thomas, Knt., Lord Furnival and Neville, married Joan Furnival[1]
      Alice, married William Deincourt, 3rd Lord Deincourt[1]
      Maud[1]
      Idoine[1] or Idonea
      Eleanor, married Sir Ralph Lumley, 1st Lord Lumley[1]
      Elizabeth, Minoress nun[1]

      1346 Battle of Neville's Cross

      Maud's father and her husband's father were in the Battle of Neville's Cross (17 October 1346). Wikipedia lists them as two of four "Commanders and leaders" for the English force of 6,000-7,000 against David II of Scotland and a force of 12,000.[8]

      "In July 1346, Percy was one of the guardians of the kingdom during Edward's absence; and when in October David Bruce invaded England, he commanded the first division of the battle of Neville's Cross, where his valour contributed to the English victory (Froissart, iii. 129, iv. 20, 22, ed. Luce; Chron. Lanercost, pp. 348-50). ...[4]

      Legatee

      Maud was a legatee in the 1368 will of her brother, Thomas Percy, Bishop of Norwich,[1] which named her as "Matilda Nevill my sister".[9]

      Death and Burial

      Maud died before 18 February 1378/9 and is buried at Durham Cathedral[1][10] in a chest tomb circa 1386 with her husband John de Neville.

      "Michael de la Pole miles, dominus de Wingfeild founded Kingston-upon-Hull priory, for the souls of …Radulphi de Nevill patris et Alesiæ matris…Johannis [de Nevill domini de Raby] et Matildæ quondam uxoris eiusdem Johannis, by charter dated 18 Feb 1378."[11]

      Husband's Remarriage

      John survived Maud and remarried to Elizabeth le Latimer. They had two children: John, Knt., 6th Lord Latimer, and Elizabeth. John de Neville died testate 17 October 1388 and, in his will, he requested burial in Durham Cathedral beside his first wife, Maud.[1]
