"(That) Margaret was emphatically not a daughter of John de Burgh of Lanvallay, grandson of the infamous justiciar John de Burgh. The younger John did leave 3 daughters, two of whose marriages are well attested (neither one to Richard de Burgh nor any member of that family); the third, who was named Margaret, had become a nun before her father died, so the inheritance was divided only between her two elder sisters. The inheritance was never subsequently re- apportioned to provide for the third sister or any of her issue, and she evidently remained in her cloister to die unmarried and childless.
