Research Notes:
A manuscript narrating the foundation of Wigmore Abbey names “Rogerus primogenitus…Matilda…Johanna…Johannes, Elizabetha…Hugo…Walterus…et Edmundus” as children of “Edmundus de Mortuomari…Rogeri de Mortuomari…secundogenitus” and his wife “Margaretam…filiam domini Willielmi de Fendles de Hispania”, adding that Matilda married “Teobaldo de Verdun, domino medietatis de Lodelowe...”. The Chronicle of Croxden records the marriage “apud Wigmore IV Kal Aug” 1302 of “dominus Theobaldus de Verdun hæres domini Theobaldi filii Johannis de Verdun” and “Matildam filiam domini Edmundi de Mortuomari”. The Chronicle of Tintern Abbey, Monmouthshire records the first marriage of "Theobaldo Verdon" and "Matildam filiam domini Edmondi de Mortuo Mari", and names their children "Johannes et Willilemus et iii filiæ…Johanna, Elizabetha et Margeria".
The Chronicle of Croxden records that “Matildis de Verdun domina de Alveton” gave birth “die beati Laurentii” 1312 to “quartam filiam...Margeriam” and died “XIV Kal Oct in castro de Alveton”. 1
