Alice de TOENI (1283-1324) 2.Isabel de BEAUCHAMP m. Sir Patrick de CHAWORTH Lord of Kidwelly (-1283) References: [AR7],[RD500],[ConverseA],[MCS] From "The Homer Beers James Genealogy" on the www: "William de Beauchamp, 1st Earl of Warwick of the Beauchamp family, inherited not only the feudal barony of Elmley from his father, but had previously derived from his mother the Earldom of Warwick (originally possessed by the Newburghs), and the barony of Hanslape (which had belonged to the Mauduits). This eminent nobleman was a distinguished captain in the Welsh and Scottish wars of King Edward I. "In the 23rd year of which reign (1294-95), being in Wales with the king," as Dugdale relates, "he performed a notable exploit; namely, hearing that a great body of the Welsh were got together in a plain, betwixt two woods, and to secure themselves, had fastened their pikes to the ground, sloping towards their assailants, he marched thither with a choice company cross-bowmen and archers, and in the night time encompassing them about, put betwixt every two horsemen, one cross-bowman, which cross-bowman killing many of them that held the pikes, the horse charged in suddenly, and made a great slaughter. This was done near Montgomery." William de Beauchamp, 1st Earl of Warwick of that family, died in 1298, having previous to his mother's death used the style and title of Earl of Warwick, with what legality appears very doubtful, and was succeeded by his eldest son, Guy. He married Maud FitzJohn, widow of Girard de Furnival (See Burke, Pg. 225), and one of the four daughters and co-heiresses of [her brother ?] Richard FitzJohn, son of John FitzGeoffery, Chief Justice of Ireland. She died in 1301. They had the following issue: 1. Guy de Beauchamp, his successor, 2nd Earl. [RIN 4365*] 2. John de Beauchamp, d.s.p. 3. Maud Beauchamp, married Geoffrey Say, Lord Say. 4.
