Here are a few more corrections to ODNB:

l. "Henry of Lancaster, third earl of Lancaster": it is said that
Henry married (2) Alice de Joinville. It was Henry's younger
brother John of Lancaster who married her. See Douglas
Richardson, _Plantagenet Ancestry_ (2004) p. 424 and sources
there cited.

2. "Henry Percy, first earl of Northumberland": it is said that his
mother was Mary, "daughter of Henry, duke of Lancaster (d. 1361)."
She was in fact daughter of Henry, third earl of Lancaster (d. 1345).

3. "Ralph Stafford, first earl of Stafford": his wife is called "one of
the three daughters and coheirs of Gilbert de Clare, earl of Gloucester
and Hertford (d. 1314)." "Daughters" should read "sisters".

4. "Mohun, Sir Reginald de": it is said, relying on Maxwell-Lyte's
_A History of Dunster_ (1909), that Mohun's first wife, Hawise, "may
have been the heir of the Flemyngs of Ottery." But _VCH Berkshire_
3:512 indicates that Hawise was a daughter of Geoffrey Fitz Piers,
Earl of Essex, and received as her maritagium that manor of Streatley
from her half--brother William de Mandeville. CP 9:19-20 says that she
was "apparently" Geoffrey's daughter and adds that Maxwell-Lyte, on
being shown the evidence re Streatley, was inclined to agree.

Unless I am greatly mistaken, his wife was neither daughter nor sister
to Gilbert de Clare. Gilbert de Clare had three full-sisters, Eleanor,
Margaret, and Elizabeth, and two sisters of the half-blood, Mary and
Joan Monthermer. Of these...

Eleanor de Clare married firstly Hugh le Despenser, by whom she had a
large brood of children. After he was executed, she was abducted by
and married to William de la Zouche, by whom she had a son.

Margaret de Clare married firstly Piers Gaveston, favorite of King
Edward II, by whom she had a daughter, Joan, who died young. She
married secondly to Hugh D'Audley, by whom she had a daughter,
Margaret d'Audley, who was kidnapped and wed by Ralph Stafford.

Elizabeth de Clare married John de Burgh, heir to an Irish earl, and
had a son. After his death she was abducted/eloped with Theobald de
Verdun, by whom she had a posthumous daughter. Her third and final
marriage was to Ralph d'Amory, another of Edward II's favorites.

Mary Monthermer married Duncan, Earl of Fife, and had a daughter,
Isabel.

Joan Monthermer became a nun.

Shouldn't the statement read "niece of Gilbert de Clare, earl of
Gloucester and Hertford (d.1314)"?
