From all of the published pedigrees of the de Tregoz family, that I can
find, John de Tregoz married Mabel FitzWarin and died in 1300, leaving
two daughters as heirs: Clarice, married to Sir Roger la Warre and
Sibyl, married to Sir William de Grandison.
Therefore, I'm at a bit of a loss in how to explain the following
entries in the Calendar of Patent Rolls:
7 Nov 1288 : Licence, for a fine of 10l., for Mabel late the wife of
John Tregoz, tenant in chief, to marry whomsoever she will of the
king's allegiance. [CPR, Edward 1, Vol 2, p 302]
28 Feb 1301: Grant to John la Warre, king's yeoman, of a moiety of the
forfeiture due to the king by Joan, late the wife of John Tregoz,
tenant in chief, for marrying without licence. [CPR, Edward 1, Vol 3, p
577]
8 Jun 1307: Pardon to Laurence de Hamelden, for taking to wife Joan,
late the wife of John Tregoz, tenant in chief. [CPR, Edward 1, Vol 4, p
527]
Either John de Tregoz divorced Mabel and re-married Joan, or the John
de Tregoz married to Joan and who died in 1300 was actually the son of
the first John de Tregoz who had died before November 1288.
Has anyone got any suggestions as to which of these possible
interpretations may be correct.
