• Notes

  MARGARET, the eldest coheir, was born at Goodrest, in Wedgnock Park, near Warwick, in 1404. She married, 6 September 1425, at Warwick Castle, as 2nd wife, John (TALBOT), EARL OF SHREWSBURY. She and her husband violently resisted the succession of James Berkeley (Lord Berkeley), the heir male, to Berkeley Castle and its apurtenances. They seized and imprisoned him till he signed certain disadvantageous deeds, and later imprisoned his third wife, Isabel, at Gloucester, where she died in 1452. They took as hostage a younger son, who fell at the battle of Chatillon, where John, Earl of Shrewsbury, his captor, was also slain, 17 July 1453. Margaret was reconciled to James, Lord Berkeley, shortly before his death in 1463, but renewed her claims against his son William. She died 14 June 1467, and was buried in Jesus Chapel in St. Paul's. [Complete Peerage VIII:55, (transcribed by Dave Utzinger)] --------------------- Lady Margaret Beauchamp (died 14 June 1467), eldest daughter and coheir of Richard, Earl of Warwick by his 1st wife Elizabeth (only child of 5th Lord (Baron) Berkeley of the 1295 creation, and deemed by later doctrine to have been Baroness Berkeley and Baroness Lisle in her own right, though on her death, they would have fallen into abeyance between her three daughter and coheirs even by the same later doctrine. [Burke's Peerage] ---------------------- Note: Margaret's step daughter, Joan Talbot's, husband, James Berkeley's, prior wife, Isabel de Mowbray (daughter of the Duke of Norfolk), died while a prisoner in Margaret's custody [Margaret's husband, John Talbot, was still alive at the time of Isabel's death 27 Sep 1452, but he was off in France, where he eventually died in 1453, so I don't know if he had much to do with it]. There is obviously a story there. Joan Talbot is said by Burke's Peerage to be daughter (not step-daughter) of Margaret. Note: Isabel de Mowbray 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. Margaret & John Talbot's son Sir John, 1st Viscount Lisle, was killed with his father at the Battle of Castillon, pretty much wiping out the male line from Margaret & John. See notes under James de Berkeley & William de Berkeley.
