Maud Bassett

Not the same as Maud “Matilda” de Verdun

Maud Basset was the daughter of Sir Ralph Basset and Margaret de Somery.

Traditionally she was said to have married John de Grey, 2nd Baron of Wilton, son of Sir Reynold de Grey, 1st Lord Grey (of Wilton) and Maud de Longchamp.

Before 2002 John's wife was generally thought to be Maud Bassett, but Douglas Richardson found through his research into property transfer and dispute records, and marriage records of the time that Maud de Verdun, the daughter of Eleanor (de Bohun) Verdun was most certainly the wife of this John de Grey. Corrections were made to the Complete Peerage: Volume 6: Grey of Wilton, following the evidence submitted by Douglas Richardson in 2002 regarding facts he brought to light through his study of documentary evidence from over 700 years before.
