There are some significant inconsistencies in this profile. Is it likely that Theobald married a woman over 20 years older than him, and then one more than 40 years younger? I suspect two Margarets from different generations are here. The marriage mentioned just above in notes seems more plausible-Margaret being born about 1381 (hopefully a little earlier), married in 1392, and a first time mother in 1393 (at 12 or 13).

There is another William before the one that marries Phillipa. He is that William's father. His wife is unknown. I can't seem to fix it.

Henry de Grenvile left a son/ heir, Theobald, four years old at his father's death, when he was ward to Sir John Carew, and was later knighted. Married: Joyce, daughter of Thomas Beaumont, Earl of Mellent.
Burial: Believed here at Kilkhampton: Stowe House in the parish of Kilkhampton in Cornwall, England, UK, which was a mansion built in 1679 by John Grenville, 1st Earl of Bath (1628-1701) and demolished in 1739. The Grenville family, were for many centuries, lords of the manor of Kilkhampton, held from the feudal barony of Gloucester, as was their other principal seat of nearby Bideford in Devon. It is entirely possible the family's original residence at Kilkhampton was Kilkhampton Castle, of which only the groundworks survive, unusual in that it had a motte with two baileys.
