Nicole married Giles DE ERDINGTON in 1234. Giles (son of Thomas DE ERDINGTON and Rohese DE COCFELDE) was born in 1216; died before 10 Jan 1268. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

His birth date likely occurred between 1226 and 1238. In 1272, he is listed of age, but not yet a knight. (E)

Family/Spouse: Maud (Matilda) DE SOMERY. Maud (daughter of Roger DE SOMERY and Nichole D'AUBIGNY) was born about 1237 in Of Dudley, Staffordshire, ENG; and died. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

I am guessing that this is the Giles that died in 1347 on St. Mark's Day. If that is not true, then it likely belongs to a son of Giles. On that day, the following charters were made by Giles in the words of James Lawler: "1) nephew William son of John de GRAFTON, for rent 20' a property for life at his death to remand to Henry elder son of said Giles deceased, and 2) to his younger son John for a yearly rent of 20 s also to remand at his death to eldest son Henry and brother to said John - revision in each case to successive tail general to him and his right heirs -- (property was in in Withybrook Warwickshire. in both cases)"

Notes:

Henry was the second son of Sir Henry de Erdington and Maud, 4th daughter of Sir Roger de Somery. His lineage goes back through noble lines. When I find this Henry with a daughter Matilda, CD-100 and F-345 will support his ancestry. It does state that he married before June 1315 Joan, d. of Sir Thomas de Wolvey of Co. Warwick. According to Hal Buckley, this 1315 date is the date that they are listed as a married couple, but their marriage took place at least 1300 or earlier from the known births of their children. (F-441-442) Henry, b. 1274, held lands in Aston Parish, Erdington, co. Warwick, Shawbury, Salop Corfe Mullen, Dorset, Barrow-on-Soar co. Leicester and Olney, Bucks. He was the second son of Henry De Erdington and became his father's heir when his older brother died young, a minor in the King's ward. "The King took his homage", and he is noted in the records as having livery of his father's lands on July 21 1295. He then was given livery of this mother's lands on July 9, 1302 after the death of her 2nd husband, Sir William De Bifeld. He is listed as age 24 years and more in 1302 when his stepfather dies. He is listed as the heir and son of Henry and Maud De Erdington in this document. He was knighted by the Prince of Wales on May 22, 1306 at Westminster. He was given the title "Knight of the Shire for co. Leicester" in 1309. He was in the military service between May 1297 and July 28, 1317. He was a member of council in May 1324. He was in Parliament on Jan 22, 1335/6 where by writ he was bestowed the title of "Lord Erdington".

Henry married Joan De Wolvey before 1801. Joan (daughter of Thomas DE WOLVEY and Alice) was born est 1278; and died. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

He inherited his father's lands at Shawbury without a licence and was pardoned for this on Jun 20 1343. He was again pardoned for not showing up at the Feast of St. Lawrence where he was to have taken up Knighthood. He was in the King's service in Flanders in 1346 but returned in January of that year (46/47) due to severe illness. On Dec. 1, 1352 he received an exemption for life from being appointed mayor, sheriff, escheator against his will.

Family/Spouse: Elizabeth DE TOLTHORPE. Elizabeth died on 26 May 1375. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Matilda is listed as the daughter of Henry de Erdington in 2nd hand sources, one being information submitted by J.H.Lawrence Lawler to www.ancestry.com. He gives her location as of Erdington, Shropshire, England and his source as a book entitled, "Lee of Virginia" by Edmund Jennings Lee, c1895 and in print again in 2001. I have Erdington located in Shawbury, England at the time. This was land owned by the Henry I have connected her to. He is the only Henry I have been able to find in this time period and place. It is still a theory until I find confirmation that this couple had a daughter named Matilda. However, her name also supports this theory, as she would have been named after her father Henry's mother, Matilda. (F-438-440, E)

Matilda married John DE LA LEE about 1310 in Of Roden, Shropshire, ENG. John (son of Thomas DE LA LEE and Petronella DE STANTON) was born about 1291 in Roden, Stanton, Berrington, Shropshire, ENG; died in 1320 in , Shropshire, ENG. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
