Identity

Matilda, daughter and coheir of 4th Lord (Baron) Hilton. [Burke's Peerage]

----------------------------------

NOTE: BP, above seems to be following Dugdale in an error, as pointed out below by CP. Matilda (or Maud) was not the daughter of Robert 4th Baron Hilton of Hilton, but of Robert Hilton of Swine (a junior branch of the family). The following text is from CP's account of Matilda/Maud's uncle Thomas, who her son inherited from when he died. The text clearly defines the relationships involved:

On the death of Thomas de Thweng [Marmaduke's 4th son] the Barony supposed to have been created by the writ of 1307 fell into abeyance, according to modern doctrine, among his coheirs. These were: . . . (3) John de Hotham, of Scorborough, Yorks, son of Maud, sister of Isabel, by John de Hotham. Isabel and Maud were daughters of Margaret, sister of Thomas de Thweng by Robert de Hylton of Swine, Yorks (i). [Complete Peerage XII/1:743-4, XIV:612, (transcribed by Dave Utzinger)]

(i) The family of Hylton of Swine was a younger branch of Hylton or Hilton, of Hilton. Coll. Top. et Gen. (vol vii, p. 67), following Dugdale, is wrong in stating that Margaret m. Robert de Hilton of Hilton, co. Durham.

          • (1) Having reference to the dates, it is presumed that this was the Robert (rather than his son) who married Margaret Thweng, sister of Thomas, 4th Lord. TCP (Thweng) identifies Thomas's coheirs as including Margaret's daughter Isabel and John, son of Isabel's sister Maud. There is no mention of Sir Robert Hilton so it is presumed that Sir Robert was not Margaret's son.
          • (2) Robert, husband of Margaret Thweng, is sometimes described as though he was a Lord but this appears to have resulted from confusion with either his grandfather or his cousin (above).
