annulment obtained by Richard Fitzalan, even after children were born and
these children were deemed and treated as illegitimate. I also supplied the
CP source.

Amice of Gloucester, whom you cite, above. The medieval courts
were
rife
with women whose marriages were annulled by their husbands but
who
chose
to fight the annullment. An annullment meant a marriage had
never
legally taken place so the woman remained as a single woman.
You use the word annulment. Can you cite some medieval examples
of
that for us?
Annulment is the modern term for the concept - I thought you were in
favour
of modernising terms? Which modern terms would you use for the
following?
Your choices are: divorce, annulment, judicial separation.
divortium [divorcium] a mensa et thoro
divortium [divorcium] tori et cohabitationis
divortium [divorcium] a vinculo matrimonii
separatio quoad torum
separatio quoad cohabitationem
declaratio ad matrimonii nullitatem
dispensatio ab alterutro vel utroque coniuge
Can you give us some examples of annulment in medieval England, John?
Can you give us some examples of anything other than annulment?
