Notities over Amy GAVESTON

Amy de Gavaston is believed to be this second daughter of Piers to whom his countess gave birth not long after Epiphany (6 Jan.) 1312. The first recorded of the dozen or so damsels of the chamber of Queen Philippa [wife of Edward III], Amy de Gavaston, was on 16 June 1332 granted for life the manor of Woghfield, Berks [Patent Rolls]. Lands in Essex were released to her 25 Feb. 1333, when she will have attained her 21st year.

By 18 June 1338 she had married John de Driby and on 13 June 1340 is styled Anne, wife of John de Driby, when their manor of Wokefield, Berks, is named. The manor identifies her, and we suggest that her name, written Amie, was misread as Anne, a very easy mistake to make.
There are several factors to support the thesis that Amy de Gavaston, wife of John de Driby, was daughter to Sir Piers:
(1) Her age corresponds with that of the unknown daughter of Piers born early in 1312.
(2) It is most improbable that a niece or other relative of Piers (or for that matter, an illegitimate daughter of his) would have had the influential connections, after his fall, to have the standing at Court which Amy de Gavaston enjoyed.
(3) Margaret de dare, widow of Piers de Gavaston, took as her second husband Hugh de Audley, cousin german to Roger de Mortimer of Wigrnore, whose forfeited lands of Woghfield (Wokefield) were granted for life in 1332 to Amy de Gavaston.
(4) As Margaret was cousin german to Edward III, he woula quite naturally make her daughter Amy a damsel in the chamber of his queen and would, without difficulty, have granted Wokefield to Amy for life at the supplication of Margaret. All the lands of Piers de Gavaston had escheated to the Crown on his demise, by reason of forfeiture, at the insistence of the barons who put Piers to death.
(5) Amy's daughter Alice (née de Driby) by her will in 1412 appointed as supervisor William, lord Ros [d. 1414], whose grandmother, Margaret, lady Stafford, was daughter of Margaret de Clara by her second husband, Hugh de Audley. Hence, if Amy was daughter of Margaret de Clara, the supervisor appointed by her daughter Alice was son of Alice's first cousin of the half blood. Often the person named as supervisor in mediaeval wills was the most influential kinsman.
(6) Margaret de clare's daughter and heiress by her second husband, Hugh de Audley, Margaret (b. ca. 1317), married ca. 1335 Half, lord Stafford (1299-1372), and had daughters named Elizabeth, Margaret and Beatrix (the last married Thomas, lord Ros, and was mother of the William, lord Ros, above mentioned). These Stafford ladies would be first cousins of the half blood of Alice de Driby, and we shall note that she named her three daughters Elizabeth, Margery, and Beatrix.
(7) Margaret de Clare was lady for life of Oakham and Egelton, Rutland. Feudal Aids, vol. 4, p. 207, gives "A D 1316, Ocham, Rutlands., held by Margreta de Gavaston, corn. Cornwall, lady of Okham & Egelton." When Amy's daughter Alice (née de Driby) lost her first husband, Sir Half Basset, in 1378, she as his widow obtained possession of lands he had held in her right: of Bredon, co. Leicester, of a carucate of land in West Keal, cc. Lincs., and of a rent of 3 shillings in Oak-ham, Rutland [C-. W. Watson in Misc. Gen. et Her., 5th series, vol. 8, pp. 202-6]. Bredon had come from the Driby family. Did the small Oakham right come in some way from her grandmother, Margaret de Gavaston? The daughter of Alice, Elizabeth Basset, was grandmother of Henry, Lord Grey of Codnor (1434-1495), who in 1 Rich. III had a grant of Oakharn and Egelton for his "good service against the rebels"did the ancestral connection play a part in the grant of these specific places? If not, it is a strange coincidence.
