Magna Carta Project

This profile was re-reviewed for the Magna Carta Project by Michael Cayley on 27 January 2023.

Alice (Clervaux) Faunt appears in Magna Carta Ancestry in a Richardson-documented trail from Gateway Ancestor Henry Corbin to Magna Carta Surety Barons Hugh le Bigod and Roger le Bigod (vol. I, pages 533-535 CORBIN). This profile was originally badged by the Magna Carta Project in 2015 as part of a trail to Surety Baron Robert de Ros and was later connected to project-approved trails to the Bigods, Gilbert de Clare, Richard de Clare, John de Lacy, and Saher de Quincy. The trails are set out in the Magna Carta Trails on the Gateway's profile.

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