Notes |
- This Amice must have been a daughter either of Robert le Strange (d. 1276) and Eleanor Blancminster (<1251-~1304), or of John Giffard (~1232-1299) and Maud de Clifford (d. <1286), because her son Robert Corbet's marriage to Elizabeth le Strange was granted a papal dispensation in March 1323 "to remain in marriage which they contracted in ignorance that they were related in the 4th degree." The dispensation further declares their progeny legitimate. All four of Elizabeth le Strange's grandparents are known, as are Robert Corbet's paternal grandparents; the only way Elizabeth and Robert could have been "related in the fourth degree" (i.e., first cousins) would be if Amice's parents were one of these two couples.
