• Notes

  In her daughter's obituary in the Tewkesbury Annals, she is called "Regina Clementina"; this is the only evidence for her name.. "The identity of Clemence, mother of King John's illegitimate daughter Joan, is presently unknown. She is perhaps the same person as Clemence le Boteler, wife of Nicholas de Verdun., Knt. (died 1231), of Brandon (in Wolston), Warwickshire, Alton, Staffordshire, etc. In 1228 Nicholas and his wife, Clemence, were granted custody of the king's niece, Susanna, daughter of Llewelyn, Prince of North Wales, and his wife, Joan [see C.P.R. 1225-1232 (1903): 230; VCH Warwick 6 (1951): 273-280; Hagger Fortunes of a Norman Family (2001): 16 (chart), 68-69, 76]. If Clemence was Susanna's grandmother, it would explain her inclusion in the grant of Susanna's custody. Regardless, stronger evidence is needed before any firm conclusion can be drawn about a possible relationship between these families." [Royal Ancestry]
