About Ermentrude FitzWalchelin, heiress of Anslow and Egginton

As this profile page is a work in progress, there are two things to note:
1. Removed "de Ferrers" from the name. It's not familial, though perhaps it seems inferential to the heiress status in a single source, which passage is quoted at the bottom of this overview.
2. "FitzWalchelin" is a bit odd—being an identifier to her multi-generational great-grandfather. Patronymic indicator "Fitz" usually refers to an immediate predecessor.—(Ken Shelley, 26 Aug 2022)

History, Topography, and Directory of Derbyshire, Comprising Its History and Archaeology:... (1895) "Eggington" – states the folliowng:
Robert, oftentimes called Robert Fitz-Walcheline, who by Joan, his wife, daughter and coheir of William de Bocland, had two daughters, his heirs; viz. Ermentrude and Elizabeth; of whom Dugdale recited, that the said Ermentrude was wife of Robert Talbot of Gainsborough, in com. Lincoln.
Which, whether the fact or not, yet certain it is, the said Ermentrude was married to William de Stafford and Margaret, the other daughter, to Sir John Chandos, knight, ancestor to Sir John Chandos, K.G. the celebrated hero of Froissard and other chroniclers.
"And between these two daughters of Robert de Ferrers, his estates were divided. For by deed the 30th of Henry III. it appears, a composition was made between Sir John Chandos and Margaret, his wife, on one part, and Sir William Stafford, and Ermentrude, his wife, on the other part, concerning the right of patronage of the churches of Egginton and Radborne, in com. Derby….
"Dugdale does not at all mention whom Margaret de Ferres married; and in making her sister Ermentrude the wife of Robert Talbot, either errs (unless she married him to her second husband), or passes over her marriage with Sir William de Stafford, whose issue, by her, it is thus evident shared in the Ferrers inheritance."
