Magna Carta Project

This profile was re-reviewed for the Magna Carta Project by Michael Cayley on 20 June 2023.

Anne (Borlase) Isham is listed in Magna Carta Ancestry in a Richardson-documented trail between Gateway Ancestor Henry Isham and Magna Carta Surety Baron Robert de Ros (vol. II, pages 461-462 ISHAM) that was project-approved/badged in March 2016 by a Magna Carta project member. This profile also appears in trails that were badged in 2015/2016 from Gateway Henry Isham to other surety barons, including: William d'Aubigny, Gilbert de Clare, Richard de Clare, John de Lacy and Saher de Quincy. This profile also appears in trails badged in November 2022 between Henry Isham and Hugh le Bigod, Roger le Bigod and William Malet. All of these trails are set out in the Magna Carta Trails section of the Gateway's profile.

See Base Camp for more information about Magna Carta trails. See the project's glossary for project-specific terms, such as a "badged trail".
