Robert Bardolf

Aenora Malbank's share.

Aenora married Robert Bardolf, who transferred his allegiance to the king of France in 1204 but sent his wife to England. King John thereupon granted Aenora's share of Alstonefield to Thomas Basset, the husband of her sister Philippa. Aenora, a widow by 1210, seems to have secured its return c. 1218 and to have granted it to Henry de Audley; the grant, however, was described as made by Ranulph, earl of Chester, in a royal confirmation to Audley in 1227.
