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.

[ISOLT de Mortimer (before 1273[212]-after 1336). According to the Complete Peerage[213], Isolt was the daughter of Edmund Mortimer and his wife Margaret de Fiennes. However, this is chronologically impossible if Isolt gave birth to her son Hugh Audley in [1289][214]. It is therefore assumed that Isolt was Edmund Mortimer's illegitimate daughter, although no proof has been found that this is correct. Another possibility is that she was Edmund's sister[215]. Her first name suggests a Welsh origin. Edmund Mortimer gave her and her first husband the manor of Arley, Staffordshire[216]. m firstly (before 1287) Sir WALTER de Balun of Much Marcle, Herefordshire (-after 1287). m secondly (before 7 Jan 1293) HUGH de Audley, son of JAMES de Audley of Heleigh, Staffordshire & his wife Ela Longespee ([1267]-[Wallingford Castle] [Nov 1325/Mar 1326]).

Sir Hugh de AUDLEY Lord Audley [Parents] 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 was born 1267 in Heleigh, Staffordshire, England. He died Mar 1326 in Wallingford, Berkshire, England. Hugh married 10 Iseult de MORTIMER on 1289 in Stratton Audley, Oxfordshire, England.

Iseult de MORTIMER [Parents] 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 was born 1262 in Wigmore, Herefordshire, England. She died Aug 1338 in Stratton Audley, Oxfordshire, England. Iseult married 9 Sir Hugh de AUDLEY Lord Audley on 1289 in Stratton Audley, Oxfordshire, England.

   Other marriages:

BALUN, Walter de Knight
They had the following children:

• M i Sir James de AUDLEY Knight was born 1290 and died 1324.
• M ii Sir Hugh de AUDLEY Earl of Gloucester was born 1294 and died 10 Nov 1347.
• F iii Alice de AUDLEY was born 1302 and died 12 Jan 1374.

ISOLDE7 DE MORTIMER (Edmund6, Roger5, Ralph4, Roger3, Hugh2, Hugh1) of Wigmore, daughter of (8) Sir Edmund6, was born circa 1265, and died between 1336 and 1340[29]. She married of Wigmore, (CC-4) BARON HUGH DE AUDLEY, son of (CC-2) Sir James and (PN-39) Ela (LONGESPEE), who was born circa 1267[29], and died circa 1325[29]. [32, 9, 39, 46, 27, 21, 1] Weis, Roberts, Langston & Buck, and Buck & Beard all list Isolde as daughter of Edmund, son of Roger.

Richardson lists Isolde as sister of Edmund, and daughter of Roger, but cites multiple sources for each of the two possibilities, and the majority of them list her as daughter of Edmund.

Weis lists her as daughter of Margaret de Fienes in Magna Charta Sureties, but as the daughter of an unknown wife in Ancestral Roots. [43, 32, 9] Children: See (CC-4) Baron Hugh de AUDLEY

He [Edmund, Baron Mortimer] also had a daughter Isolt by his first wife [Margaret de Fiennes]. Isolt m. (1) Walter de Balun, (2) Hugh Audley, Lord Audley (Complete Peerage, 14:488). However, this is chronologically impossible if Isolda was the mother of Hugh de Audley, born 1289. She might have been Edmund's illegitimate daughter.

Edmund was a cleric in the church (Canon of Hereford Church, Prebender of Salisbury, Treasurer & Clerk of York) until 24 Nov 1282, when he inherited his father's lands, resigining his positions in the church. Thus Edmund is not likely to have had children at an early date. He gave the manor of Arley, (Staffordshire) to Isolda de Mortimer and her first husband Walter de Balun.

Douglas Richardson and Paul Reed argue that Isolda Mortimer was Edmund's sister, not his daughter (soc.genealogy.medieval).

Isolt de Mortimer was the daughter of Sir Edmund de Mortimer, 1st Lord Mortimer and Margaret de Fiennes.1,2 She married, firstly, Sir Walter de Balun before 1286/87.1 She married, secondly, Hugh Audley, 1st Lord Audley (of Stratton Audley), son of James of Aldithley and Ela Longespe, between 1288 and 7 January 1293.1 She died after 1336.1

    Isolt de Mortimer was also known as Isolde de Mortimer.3 From before 1286/87, her married name became de Balun.1 From between 1288 and 7 January 1293, her married name became Audley.1 She brought her second husband the manors of Eastingdon, Gloucestershire and of THornbury, Herefordshire.1 As a result of her marriage, Isolt de Mortimer was styled as Lady Audley on 15 May 1321. On 12 April 1326 she had livery of the manor of Arley, Staffordshire.1 Children of Isolt de Mortimer and Hugh Audley, 1st Lord Audley (of Stratton Audley)
