m. William de Valentia, who became in her right Earl of Pembroke and Lord or Earl of Wexford by the selection of his uterine brother King Henry III.

Dau. of Warrenne de Monchensie, Lord of Swanscombe and Brabourne, and Joan le Marshal; m. William de Valence, Lord of Pembroke; sister of William de Monchensie; mother of Joan who m. John Comyn, Lord of Badenoch. Joan had Manor granted to her by Edward I and held in capite by knight's service as of the King's Marshasey; d. bef 20 sep 1307. [Charlemagne, Alfred the Great, and Other Ancestors, Chart 2505]

Her husband, William de Valance, died in May 1296 leaving Goodrich Castle to his wife in dower. She lived here for long periods until she died in 1307. A manuscript record of her expenses for the year beginning 29 Sep 1296 survives and gives fascinating details of life in a baronial household 700 years ago. Much of the countess's regular needs would have been met in kind from one or other of her manors, round which she progressed (no doubt to collect dues and consume fresh produce) and would not be enrolled on the accounts.
Before wintering at Goodrich, the Countess's baker was sent ahead to prepare bread, well before the household arrived. Stores of pork, eggs, cheese and milk were already there, and mutton, beef and venison were purchased. The Countess travelled with at least five packhorses and carts to carry her luggage (including her bed). She had her own carriage, and the Goodrich establishment included a large wagon which from time to time needed new harnesses and wheel repairs.
Guests included the de Clare family (Earls of Gloucester), Joan's son Aymer and her daughter Isabel, local lords and ladies and the heads of several religious houses, both male and female. Some remained for weeks at a time, and the accommodation within the castle must have been fully used. Twenty poor people were fed each day, the number rising to over 60 at Easter.
A pipe of wine (equivalent to about 700 modern bottles) was bought in Bristol and shipped to the castle at a total cost of under £4. Beer was bought at Monmouth, and was also brewed at the castle, malt and oats being brought from the estate, and water was brought in to supplement the castle well supply. Wye salmon, then as now, were considered a delicacy, and were often given as a present to departing guests. A net was purchased at Abergavenny for the Wye fishermen, and servants were sent to Chepstow, Gloucester, Bristol and even Southampton to buy fish (particularly eels, hake and herring). Large quantities of wood for fuel were cut from the Dowards (the hills opposite Symonds Yat) as well as Bishops Wood across the river, and 60 horses were hired to bring it down to the boat.
A messenger took 10 days to get to London and back. Others went to Ireland and Pembroke to deal with business on the countess's estates, which produced much of her income.
Of the countess herself, we read about the cost of the regular light in her own room, the purchase of rice and sugar 'for my lady's use,' a tailor going to Bristol for her new robes with red trimming, and of the buying of a pair of stockings (5 pence) and boots (18 pence). By May 1297, Joan de Valence, Countess of Pembroke, was off again on her summer progress from Goodrich Castle around her other estates. [Goodrich Castle, pp. 22-23]
