Notes about HUGH AUDLEY

“HUGH de Audley (1267 Wallingford Castle - Nov 1325/Mar 1326). He was summoned to parliament 15 May 1321, whereby he is held to have become Lord Audley. He joined the rebellion of the Earl of Lancaster in 1322, but surrendered and was held prisoner in Wallingford Castle.

Married (before 7 Jan 1293) as her second husband, ISOLT de Mortimer, widow of Sir WALTER de Balun of Much Marcle, Herefordshire, illegitimate daughter of EDMUND de Mortimer of Wigmore, Herefordshire & his mistress after 1336).

According to the Complete Peerage, Isolt was the daughter of Edmund Mortimer and his wife Margaret de Fiennes but this is chronologically impossible if her son Hugh was born in 1289. It is therefore assumed that Isolt was Edmund Mortimer's illegitimate daughter, although no proof has been found that this is correct. Another possibility is that she was Edmund's sister. Her first name suggests a Welsh origin. Edmund Mortimer gave her and her first husband the manor of Arley, Staffordshire. Lord Hugh & his wife had three children.
