• Margaret II Audley (d.1373[3]) was a co-heiress to the feudal barony of Barnstaple in Devon, England.
• Margaret was a daughter of James Audley, 2nd Baron Audley (1312/13-1386), seated at the manor of Tawstock, feudal baron of Barnstaple, by his second wife Isabel LeStrange, daughter of Roger le Strange, 5th Baron Strange (c. 1327–1382) of Knokyn.[4] In 1370 James Audley settled the manor of Tawstock in tail male successively to his three sons from his 2nd marriage, thus Margaret's brothers, Thomas, Rodeland and James, who all died without progeny.[5] On the death of James Audley in 1386 the barony of Barnstaple, including 2/3rds of the manor of Tawstock, passed to his surviving son (from his first marriage) Nicholas Audley, 3rd Baron Audley (c.1328-1391), who died without issue. Nicholas's co-heiresses were his two full-sisters Joan and Margaret I and his half-sister Margaret II, who inherited Tawstock:
• Joan Audley (1331–1393) who married Sir John Tuchet (1327—1371),[6]
• Margaret I Audley (b. pre-1351, d. 1410/11), who married Sir Roger Hillary.[7]
• Margaret II Audley, his half-sister, who according to Pole inherited Tawstock by a special entail,[8] wife of Fulk VIII FitzWarin, 4th Baron FitzWarin (1341-1374).

• Tawstock
• Nymet Tracy,[9]

• Upexe[13]
• Creedy Wiger, near Crediton.[14]
• Margaret II Audley married Fulk VIII FitzWarin, 4th Baron FitzWarin (1341-1374).

Baron FitzWarin

• Baron FitzWarin (also spelt Fitz Waryn, FitzWarine,and Fitz-Warine) is an abeyant title in the Peerage of England. It was created by Writ of summons for Fulk V FitzWarine in 1295. His family had been great lords for nearly a century, at least since his grandfather Fulk III had recovered Whittington Castle in 1205. This castle was their main residence and its lordship was a marcher lordship near Oswestry. This has been in Shropshire since 1536 and also in the Domesday Book, but for much of the intervening period was regarded as part of Wales.
• All the heads of the family had the name Fulk, and the barony with the castle and lordship of Whittington descended from father to son until the death of Fulk XI in 1420. It then passed down the female line into the Bourchier family. John Bourchier, 11th Baron FitzWarin was created Earl of Bath in 1536. However, the barony became abeyant upon the death of the 4th Earl in 1636 and remains so.

Upon her death the barony must have been in abeyance between her daughters Thomasine Hankford (1423–1453) and Elizabeth Hankford (c.1424-1433) until the death of the latter in 1433.

Manor of Tawstock

• The historic manor of Tawstock was situated in North Devon, in the hundred of Fremington,[2] 2 miles south of Barnstaple, England. According to Pole[3] the feudal baron of Barnstaple Henry de Tracy (died 1274) made Tawstock his seat, apparently having abandoned Barnstaple Castle as the chief residence of the barony.[4] Many of the historic lords of the manor are commemorated by monuments in St Peter's Church, the parish church of Tawstock (situated to the east of the manor house) which in the opinion of Pevsner contains "the best collection in the county (of Devon) apart from those in the cathedral",[5] and in the opinion of Hoskins "contains the finest collection of monuments in Devon and one of the most notable in England".[6]
• The manor house, known in the 17th century as Tawstock House and today known as Tawstock Court, is situated at the west end of the parish church and is in the Georgian neo-gothic style, having replaced the former Tudor mansion which was destroyed by fire in 1787. The only survival from the earlier house is the splendid Tudor gatehouse with datestone 1574, one of only a few in Devon.

  • Audley
• James Audley, 2nd Baron Audley (died 1386)
• The heirs of William II FitzMartin (d.1326) were his surviving sister Eleanor FitzMartin (died 1342), who died without progeny, albeit having married twice, and James Audley, 2nd Baron Audley (died 1386), the son of his other sister Joan FitzMartin (died 1322), by her second husband Nicholas Audley, 1st Baron Audley (died 1316) of Heleigh Castle, Staffordshire. James Audley thus in 1342 inherited his childless aunt Eleanor's moiety of the barony of Barnstaple, giving him possession of the whole, including 2/3rds of the manor of Tawstock. In 1370 James Audley, 2nd Baron, settled the manor of Tawstock in tail male successively to his three sons from his 2nd marriage, Thomas, Rodeland and James, who all died without progeny.[20] On the death of James Audley, 2nd Baron Audley ( 1312/13-1386) in 1386 the barony of Barnstaple, including 2/3rds of the manor of Tawstock, passed to his surviving son, Nicholas Audley, 3rd Baron Audley (c.1328-1391), who died without issue. His co-heiresses were his two full-sisters Joan and Margaret I and his half-sister Margaret II, who inherited Tawstock:
• Joan Audley (1331–1393) who married Sir John Tuchet (1327—1371),[21]
• Margaret I Audley (b. pre-1351, d. 1410/11), who married Sir Roger Hillary.[20]
• Margaret II Audley (d.1373), his half-sister, who according to Pole inherited Tawstock by a special entail,[22] and married Fulk VIII FitzWarin, 4th Baron FitzWarin (1341-1374).
  • FitzWarin
• The FitzWarin family were powerful Marcher Lords seated at Whittington Castle in Shropshire and at Alveston in Gloucestershire. The title Baron FitzWarin was created by writ of summons for Fulk V FitzWarin in 1295. The descent of the manor of Tawstock in the FitzWarin family is as follows:[24]

• Margaret II Audley (d.1373[25]), heiress of Tawstock, married Fulk VIII FitzWarin, 4th Baron FitzWarin (1341-1374) of Whittington Castle, Shropshire and Alveston, Gloucestershire.[26] In 1392 Margaret's 3 year-old grandson Fulk X FitzWarin, 6th Baron FitzWarin (1389-1407), feudal baron of Bampton, Devon, inherited the manor of Tawstock.
• Fulk IX FitzWarin, 5th Baron FitzWarin (1362–1391)
• Fulk IX FitzWarin, 5th Baron FitzWarin (1362–1391), son of Margaret II Audley (d.1373), married Elizabeth Cogan, heiress of her brother John Cogan (d.1382), feudal baron of Bampton, Devon, who died as a minor in the wardship of the king. She was the daughter of Sir William Cogan by his 2nd wife Isabel Loring, the elder daughter and co-heiress of Sir Nele Loring (c. 1320 – 1386), KG, of Chalgrave, Bedfordshire,[27] a founding member of the Order of the Garter.
