alias: Margaret Brotherton; Margaret Marshall

WikiTree.com -- Margaret, Duchess of Norfolk (c.1320 - 24 Mar 1399),[2] was the eldest daughter of Thomas of Brotherton. Her brother Edward, pre-deceased their father, so she and her remaining sibling, Alice of Norfolk,[3] were co-heirs ... with the earldom of Norfolk falling into abeyance, between them.[4] While Alice did have issue, documentation muddles the exact number of children.
