    • BARONY of AUDLEY (III)

      NICHOLAS (AUDLEY or ALDITHLEY), 3rd LORD AUDLEY [and, as some may consider, LORD MARTIN], son and heir by 1st wife, born about 1328. He was knighted before 1352, and in 1352 was in arms, with his next brother Roger, against their father, when they sacked Castle Heleigh. He was in the wars with France (v.p.), 1359 and 1372, arid was afterwards Chief Justice of South Wales, 1 February 1381/2. He was summoned to Parliament 17 December 1387 to 12 December 1390.

In Close Roll, 31 Edward III, m. 17 d, mention is made of Katharine, daughter of Sir James Audley of Rouge Castel and Heleye, wife of Thomas Spigurnel. She therefore must have been another sister or half sister of Nicholas, Lord Audley, but must have dvf and sp.
