Notes

Dugdale's identification of the first wife Eleanor of Nicholas Poyntz, quoted in note (i), is confirmed by a 15th-century inquisition (evidently the same inquisition post mortem of Sir John Tiptot, C 139/110/45, cited in note (b)), which is quoted by Thomas Gerard in The Particular Description of the County of Somerset (1633) [Somerset Record Society 15, p. 150 (1900)]. But there is no evidence that Nicholas had a second wife Eve. Although Wrottesley does describe her as his wife, she is not described as such in the plea roll of Michaelmas Term 1398 that he cites [KB 27/550, mm. 35-36d; see images at AALT: 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 and 11 ]. The entry refers to a final concord made in November 1359 but not recorded until January 1369 [CP 25/1/50/45; see image at AALT], which also mentions Nicholas and Eve but does not describe her as his wife. A plea roll of Hilary Term 1361 [CP 40/405, m. 189; see image at AALT] also mentions Nicholas and Eve, again not described as man and wife, and records orders for them to be distrained separately. Nicholas died between Hilary Term 1363 [CP 40/412, m. 61d; see image at AALT] and Easter Term 1371, and left a widow named Eleanor who was still living in Hilary Term 1374 [CP 40/442, m. 38, and CP 40/453, m. 328; see images at AALT: 1 and 2 ].

Origins

http://www.dankat.com/earls/chap1.htm

John de Erlegh(V), the son of John(IV), was born about 1308 and inherited from his father [35,17EdII,n.62]. In the period 1324-1337, due to his residence in England, power of attorney in Ireland was granted to various individuals including Henry de Erlegh in 1336 [7,p.159]. …. He married Elizabeth and they had two sons, John(VI) and Richard, and three daughters [7,p.159]. One daughter, Catherine (or Katherine), became Prioress of Buckland Priory. A second, Elizabeth, married Sir John Stafford and a third, Alice, married Sir Nicholas Poines [7.p.159]. John(V) died in 1337; he was survived by his wife, Elizabeth [6,n.39][7,p.159][35,35EdIII].
