      Maud Bernake was born circa 1337 at/of Tattershall, Lincolnshire, England. [1] She married Sir Ralph before 20 January 1352. [2] They had five sons, Ralph, Knight, 2nd Lord Cromwell, Robert, William, Knight, Thomas and John, and three daughters, Elizabeth, Amice (or Avice) and Maud.[3]

      Maud left a will on 14 September 1416, and wrote a codicil on 1 January 1417.[4] She died on 10 April 1419. [5] [6]

      At Easter in 2 Henry IV (3 April 1401), at Ebor, Matilda de Cromwell, the lady of Tatishale, sued Henry fitz Hugh and Elizabeth, his wife, for a moiety of the manors of Tanfeld and Carthorp and other lands.[7] The pedigree provided for the plea says:

      John Marmyon, living 1 Edward III [which began on 25 January 1327], married Matilda, and had:
      Robert Marmyon, living in 1338;
      John who had:

      Margaret stated the Earl presented Godfrey Giffard in the reign of Richard I. The jury found in Margaret's favour as the church was not appurtenant to the manor of Plessinghalle. Margaret's claim was from Constantine Clifton. The descent she provided is added below in blue:[8]

      Hugh Daubeney, Earl of Arundell, his four sisters were his heirs;
      Mabel, Plessinghalle was part of eldest sister Mabel's purparty and descended through her to:
