Notes:

MARGARET, the eldest coheir, was born at Goodrest, in Wedgnock Park, near Warwick, in 1404. She married, 6 September 1425, at Warwick Castle, as 2nd wife, John (TALBOT), EARL OF SHREWSBURY. She and her husband violently resisted the succession of James Berkeley (Lord Berkeley), the heir male, to Berkeley Castle and its apurtenances. They seized and imprisoned him till he signed certain disadvantageous deeds, and later imprisoned his third wife, Isabel, at Gloucester, where she died in 1452. They took as hostage a younger son, who fell at the battle of Chatillon, where John, Earl of Shrewsbury, his captor, was also slain, 17 July 1453. Margaret was reconciled to James, Lord Berkeley, shortly before his death in 1463, but renewed her claims against his son William. She died 14 June 1467, and was buried in Jesus Chapel in St. Paul's. [Complete Peerage VIII:55, (transcribed by Dave Utzinger)]

---------------------

Lady Margaret Beauchamp (died 14 June 1467), eldest daughter and coheir of Richard, Earl of Warwick by his 1st wife Elizabeth (only child of 5th Lord (Baron) Berkeley of the 1295 creation, and deemed by later doctrine to have been Baroness Berkeley and Baroness Lisle in her own right, though on her death, they would have fallen into abeyance between her three daughter and coheirs even by the same later doctrine. [Burke's Peerage]

----------------------

Note: Margaret's step daughter, Joan Talbot's, husband, James Berkeley's, prior wife, Isabel de Mowbray (daughter of the Duke of Norfolk), died while a prisoner in Margaret's custody [Margaret's husband, John Talbot, was still alive at the time of Isabel's death 27 Sep 1452, but he was off in France, where he eventually died in 1453, so I don't know if he had much to do with it]. There is obviously a story there. Joan Talbot is said by Burke's Peerage to be daughter (not step-daughter) of Margaret.

Note: Isabel de Mowbray died in the custody of Margaret de Beauchamp because of a prolonged feud over the estates of Thomas de Berkeley and Margaret de Lisle. The feud ended 20 March 1469/70 with the Battle of Nibley Green in which James de Berkeley & Isabel de Mowbray's eldest son William 1st/last Marquess de Berkeley killed Margaret de Beauchamp & John Talbot's grandson Sir Thomas Talbot, 2nd/last Viscount Lisle. Margaret & John Talbot's son Sir John, 1st Viscount Lisle, was killed with his father at the Battle of Castillon, pretty much wiping out the male line from Margaret & John. See notes under James de Berkeley & William de Berkeley.

Margaret married Sir John TALBOT, Knight on 6 Sep 1425 in Warwick Castle, Warwick, Warwickshire, England. John (son of Sir Richard TALBOT, VI and Ankaret Baroness Le STRANGE) was born in 1385 in Shrewsbury, Shropshire, England; died on 17 Jul 1453 in Battle Of Castillon, Bordeaux, France (Killed); was buried on 20 Jul 1453 in St Alkmund's, Whitchurch, Shropshire, England.

Elizabeth Beauchamp, according to later doctrine Baroness Bergavenny or Beauchamp de Bergavenny in her own right. [Burke's Peerage]

--------------------

BARONY of ABERGAVENNY (III) 1422

Elizabeth Beauchamp, who unless the Peerage be considered as one incident to the tenure of the Castle, must be considered as Baroness Bergavenny, or Beauchamp de Bergavenny, only daughter and heir of Richard by Isabel le Depsenser; b. at Hanley Castle, co. Worcester, 16 Sep 1415. She m. when very young, before 18 Oct 1424 (in 1426 her husband( as "Dominus de Bourgevenny") had summons to take, with the King himself, the order of Knighthood), Edward Nevill, 11th and youngest son of Ralph, 1st Earl of Westmorland, being 9th son by his 2nd wife, Joan Beaufort, Dowager Lady Ferrers de Wemme, the legitimated daughter of John "of Gaunt", Duke of Lancaster. In 1435 she was found heir to her grandmother [who had held the lands of Abergavenny and others in dower], when she and her husband had livery of the lands of her inheritance, but not of the castle and lands of Abergavenny, to which her right did not accrue until 11 June 1446, even on the most favourable interpretation to the Nevill family of the entail of 1395/6 (a), unless, indeed, that entail is, from some unknown cause, invalid, against her right as heir at law to her grandfather, the maker of the entail. She d. 18 June 1448, aged 32, and was buried at the Carmelites, Covenrty. [Complete Peerage I:27-29, (transcribed by Dave Utzinger)]

(a) on 11 June 1446 the male lines of the Beauchamp family, who (under the entail 20 Feb 1395/6, of William Beauchamp, 1st Lord Bergavenny) were entitled to the castle and lands of Abergavenny, became extinct by the death spm. (without male issue) of Henry Beauchamp, Duke and Earl of Warwick.

Elizabeth married Edward 3Rd Baron NEVILLE, Kg, Of Bergavenny, Sir before 18 Oct 1424 in 1st Wife. Edward was born about 1413 in Raby Castle, Raby With Keverstone, Staindrop, Durham, England; died on 18 Oct 1476 in Abergavenny, Monmouthshire, England. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
