   Note: Roesia de Verdun (c1204 - 10 February 1247), also spelled Rohese and Rose, was a Norman femme sole and one of the most powerful women of Ireland in the 13th century. She was the daughter of Nicholas de Verdun of Alton, Staffordshire and Clementia. She was also the widow of William Perceval de Somery. The agreement to marry occurred on 4 September 1225. She was the second wife of Theobald le Botiller. When her husband died at Poitou in 1230 during the English invasion of France, de Verdun claimed her inheritances and paid the taxes to be allowed remain unmarried. As time went on however the pressure to marry again increased until de Verdun decided to become a nun by 1242 she was a member of the community at Grace Dieu. Her son inherited fully in 1247 when she died. Though originally buried at the priory, in the aftermath of the dissolution of the monasteries, the villagers of Belton reburied her in their village. Her daughter is listed as Matilda (otherwise 'Maud') de Verdun, (d. 27 November 1283) who married firstly John FitzAlan, feudal Lord of Clun and Oswestry and de jure Earl of Arundel. Maud de Verdun married secondly Richard d'Amundeville.
