Note
Note: The following profiles were detached as children of Maud de Roos by her son John de Welles, 5th Lord Welles (Richardson lists only three children - John, Margery, and Anne - for Maud by her husband John, 4th Lord Welles, and only two children - Eudes and Eleanor - for the 5th Lord Welles by his wife Eleanor Mowbray).

Dawn - Richardson shows that John & Maud de Roos had only John, Margery & Anne. I can't find who this person might have been meant to be based on the information in the profile. He needs to be detached from John & Maud, but I'd like to attach him to his correct family. Best I can come up with looking through the Welles section of Richardson's Royal Ancestry is son of Richard Welles & Joan Willoughby. That Robert married Elizabeth Bourgchier & died March 19, 1469/70.
