About Ida? Corbet

Robert Corbet, d 1300, (son of Richard Corbet and Petronilla of Booley) married

  1. Ida (?) on 1262 in Moreton Corbet, Shropshire, England. Her name is also seen as Catherine, and she was speculated to have been a daughter of John le Strange of Knockin and his wife Lucia de Tregoz. However their daughters are accounted for. The genealogical speculation seems fueled by the marriage of Hawys le Strange into the Corbet family.
  2. on 1280 in Moreton Corbet, Shropshire, England to Maud de ARUNDEL born 1255 in Habberly, Shropshire, England

Child of first marriage:

  1. Joan CORBET was born 1263. Married 1) Owen de la Pole 2) Robert Trumwyn

From http://archiver.rootsweb.ancestry.com/th/read/GEN-MEDIEVAL/2014-03/...

"Joanna, the wife of Owen, is said to have been the daughter of Sir Robert Corbet of Wattlesburgh and Moreton Corbet, by his first wife, Catherine (Ida?), daughter of John le Strange, who would thus have been his first cousin."

Eyton states that the first wife of Robert Corbet was named Ida, but he does not identify her as a le Strange:

Confusingly, in 'The Family of Corbet: Its Life and Times', VOL 2, by A.E. Corbet, the wife of Sir Robert Corbet of Chetton (ob. s.p. circa 1262) is also identified as an Ida:

The above also mentions Ida (identified as the wife of Sir Robert Corbet of Chetton) on p. 168:

"This mention of inheritance seems to imply some connection with the de Brocs, and it is not unlikely that Robert's wife, whose name was "Ida," was one of the many heiresses in the Manor of Chetton."

A.E. Corbet does not cite any primary source to support the claim that Robert Corbet of Chetton's wife was called Ida. Furthermore, in Antiquities of Shropshire, VOL 1, p. 178, Eyton demonstrates that the King granted Robert Corbet possession of Chetton "in reward of faithful services":

So it looks like Morris' MSS is the only source which identifies Owen de la Pole's wife Joan as the daughter of Robert Corbet of Moreton. If we accept that she was the daughter of Robert Corbet of Moreton then she must have been the daughter of his first wife Ida__.

The claim that Robert Corbet of Chetton's wife was called Ida looks dubious.




The first wife of Sir Robert Corbet is sometimes said to have been a Katherine (Catherine) Le Strange, of the family that became Barons of Knockin, but there is no reliable authority for this (and besides, it would make Owen de la Pole and Joan Corbet much too closely related).

Other sources provide the name "Ida" but no further information.
