She died between 1337 and 1351. He married, 2ndly, before Dec 1351, Isabel (c), said to have been daughter of Roger (Le STRANGE) 5th LORD STRANGE OF KNOKYN. She was living in 1366.

      (c) In a pedigree of Touchet, dated 1597, apparently prepared for George, 1st Earl of Castlehaven (Ireland) (who d. 1617), this Isabel is said to have been daughter of Robert, Lord Fitzwalter.
