Research Note

Discrepancies in Richardson

Magna Carta Ancestry and Royal Ancestry, volumes 1 & 3 have different data for:

• Henry Beaumont's date of death: 13 June 1369 (vol 3) and 25 July 1369 (vol 1 and CP4). Complete Peerage vol 2. has DOD as 17 June 1369.
• Margaret's marriage to Devereux: before 8 Nov 1382 (vol 3) and 17 June 1379 (vol 1). No date in CP4.
• For Joan Devereux, child of Margaret's third marriage, vol. 1 lists 2 marriages, to FitzWater and to Burnell, while vol. 3 only names FitzWalter. Burnell marriage is in MCA v. 1, pages 269-270, BOTETOURT 6.i.b. and vol 2, page 213 FITZ WALTER 7.

Disputed Child

Lewis lists Margaret Devereux as a child of Margaret and John Devereux, citing Plantagenet Ancestry and Royal Ancestry (checked RA ... this was cited incorrectly). Margaret was removed as their daughter 15 May 2020.
