Notes for Margaret d' Audley Baroness Audley

I wrote, back on 12-Aug-2003:
"So Margaret (d'Audley), Lady Stafford, died sometime between
September 1349 and February 1351. She did not live to be Countess of Stafford."
It turns out that Margaret, Lady Stafford, died in September 1349, one
month after visiting her aunt Elizabeth, Lady of Clare, at the latter's castle of Usk.
John Weever, writing in his 1631 book "Ancient Funerall Monuments", p.
323: "Here [the "ruinous" Church of Tunbridge in Kent] fometime lay
entombed the bodies of Hugh de Audley ... This Hugh dyed the tenth of
Nouember, 1347. Ann. 21. Ed. 3. ... His wife Margaret dyed before him
in the yeare of our Lord, 1342. the 13. day of Aprill. They were both
together fumptuoufly entombed by Margaret their daughter, the onely
heire of her parents, wife to Raph de Stafford, Earle of Stafford.
The faid Raph de Stafford and Margaret his wife, were here likewife
entombed, at the feet of their father and mother ... Hee [Ralph, Earl
of Stafford] dyed the 31. of Auguft, in the yeare 1372. Margaret his
wife dyed the feuenth of September, 1349."
Weever is correct as to the dates of death for Hugh, Earl of
Gloucester, and Ralph, Earl of Stafford. His date of death for
Margaret, Countess of Gloucester, is correct as to month and year
(April 1342), but Weever says 13 April, while CP says 9 April, and
cites CIPM, Vol. 8, no. 382, as its source.
The 1363 IPM (CIPM, Vol. 9, no. 471) of Margaret, Lady Stafford,
returned 16 September as her day of death, while Weever says 7
September. The published IPM abstract says the year of death was 21
Edward III, but perhaps this was a transcription error on the part of
the late 19th-century CIPM editor - I will attempt to look at the
original in the PRO this summer and determine.
1349 was a plague year - Lady Stafford's first cousins, Hugh, Lord
Despenser, and Isabel, Lady Ferrers of Groby, both died that year, as
did their aunt (by marriage), Margaret, Lady Monthermer. Whether
these deaths, and that of Lady Stafford in September, were the result
of the Black Death, though, cannot be determined. Ralph and Margaret
Stafford paid two visits each to Elizabeth, Lady of Clare, in August
1349 (Frances Underhill, "For Her Good Estate", 1999, p. 54), so
Margaret's death the following month was sudden, it seems.

“Hugh de Audley and
Margaret de Clare were married at Windsor Castle on 28 April 1317.
Their only child, daughter Margaret, was born in the range 1318-1322.
Her father was taken prisoner at the battle of Boroughbridge in Mar.
1322, and her mother confined to Sempringham Priory. They were
physically separated until 1326. Margaret could not have been born
afterwards, as she was abducted in Jan. 1336, and a mother within a
year. She was likely born about 1320.”
