=== Her parents ===
The original sources quoted in Medieval Lands are convincing in the argument that Maud's parents were Nicholas Verdun and his second wife, Clementia.
However, Wikipedia and other sources show her parents as Theobald Bulter (le Botiller) and Nicholas' sister, Rohese Verdun. This appears to be a better fit solely on Maud's supposed birthdate (no record found).
As a result, you will see Maud's surname alternately listed as Verdun and Butler, with links to both sets of parents.
=== NAME VERDUN NOT BOTILER ===
The children of Rohese took her maiden name 'de Verdun'. Botiller is in Alternate Names.
