To Walter de Glouc[estria], escheator beyond Trent. Order to restore to Hugh de Aldithele and Isolda, his wife, a third of the manor of Great Markeleye, which is held of the king in chief, together with the issues received from it since it was taken into the king's hands, as they have shown the king that whereas they have long held the said part in her dower of the free tenement of Walter Balun, her first husband, and they have now acquired the right and fee of the said part to them and to Hugh's heirs from John de Balun, kinsman and heir of Walter, to whom the said part ought to have reverted after her death, without obtaining the king's licence, the escheator has taken that part into the king's hands by reason of the acquisition aforesaid, and the king wishes to show favour to Hugh for the good service rendered by him and his ancestors and because he is with the king in his service in Scotland. The part is to be held by them in form aforesaid until further orders. By p.s.

JAMES Audley of Heleigh, Staffordshire, son of HENRY de Audley & his wife Bertrade Mainwaring ([1220]-[11 Jun] 1272). The Complete Peerage records that he died by "breaking his neck"[19]. m ELA Longespee, daughter of WILLIAM Longespee & his wife Idoine de Camville (-before 22 Nov 1299).

James Audley & his wife had six children:

6. HUGH de Audley ([1267]-[Wallingford Castle] [Nov 1325/Mar 1326]). He was summoned to Parliament 15 May 1321, whereby he is held to have become Lord Audley. ... m ([1288/89]%29 as her second husband, ISOLDA le Rous, widow of WALTER de Ballon of Much Marcle, Herefordshire, daughter of ROGER le Rous & his wife --- ([before 1273]-after 1336). Her birth date is estimated from the birth of her son by her second marriage, dated to [1289] (see below). The Complete Peerage names Isolda as the daughter of Edmund Mortimer and his wife Margaret de Fiennes (although she is not listed among their children in another part of the same work[57])[58]. This suggestion is chronologically impossible if Isolda gave birth to her son Hugh Audley in [1289][59]. In a previous version of the present document, it was therefore supposed that Isolda was Edmund Mortimer's illegitimate daughter, or was possibly Edmund's sister, assuming that she was a member of the Mortimer family[60]. The problem is resolved in Some corrections and additions to the Complete Peerage, which says that “Isolt was not a Mortimer, but was the daughter of Roger le Rus or Rous”[61], citing several sources including “Roger le Rous” settling the manor of Eastington, Gloucestershire on “Walter de Balun and Isolt his wife” in Jun 1287 and “Isolt, daughter of Roger le Rus” claiming Eastington “as her right against Reynold de Balun (Walter’s brother and heir” in the Court of Common Pleas in 1289[62].

Lord Hugh & his wife had three children:

• a) JAMES Audley of Stratton Audley (-before 1 Mar 1334, bur Langley Abbey, Norfolk). Mistress: (after 24 Jun 1314) EVA de Clavering, widow firstly of THOMAS Audley and secondly of THOMAS de Ufford, daughter of JOHN de Clavering Lord Clavering & his wife Hawise de Tibetot (-30 Sep 1369, bur Langley Abbey, Norfolk). ... James had four illegitimate children by his mistress: ...
• b) HUGH Audley ([1289][69]-10 Nov 1347, bur Tonbridge Priory). He was summoned to Parliament 30 Nov 1317, whereby he is held to have become Lord Audley. He was created Earl of Gloucester 16 Mar 1337. m (Windsor 28 Apr 1317) as her second husband, MARGARET de Clare, widow of PIERS Gavaston Earl of Cornwall, daughter of GILBERT de Clare Earl of Gloucester and Hereford & his second wife Joan of England ([1293]-9 Apr 1342). ... Lord Hugh & his wife had one child: ...
• c) ALICE (-13 Jan 1375, bur Durham Cathedral Church). A mid-15th century manuscript records that "Radulfum de Neuille" married "Alesia, filia Hugonis de Audeley"[71]. “Michael de la Pole miles, dominus de Wingfeild” founded Kingston-upon-Hull priory, for the souls of “…Radulphi de Nevill patris et Alesiæ matris…Johannis [de Nevill domini de Raby] et Matildæ quondam uxoris eiusdem Johannis”, by charter dated 18 Feb 1378[72]. m firstly (1317) RALPH de Greystoke of Greystoke, son of ROBERT FitzRalph & his wife Elizabeth --- (15 Aug 1299-Gateshead 14 Jul 1323, bur Newminster). He was summoned to Parliament in 1322 whereby he is held to have become Lord Greystoke. m secondly (1327) RALPH Neville of Raby Lord Neville, son of RANDOLPH Neville Lord Neville & his first wife Eupheme --- ([before 1291]- 5 Aug 1368, bur Durham).
