  It has long been a vexed question who this Lady Eva de Oswaldestre was, but it is set at reat by the Chetwynd MSS. The retention of her maiden name shows she was a lady of some consequence. She is also described in several charters as a daughter of Roger de Albo Monasterio, Sire de Blancmostiers. For instance, John FitzPhilip granted to Eva, daughter of Roger de Albo Monasterio, and John de Chetwynd, her son, certain woodlands at Barlaston between Berryhill and Cokenegge (Cocknage), for which she paid him ten pounds in silver. Her mother was a *Princess of Wales, widow of Llewelyn ap Jorwerth, who took Blancmostiers for her second husband some time after 1240. Blancmostiers, or more properly, Blancminster, is synonymous with the Latin form De Albo Monasterio, the name by wich Oswestry or Oswaldestre was known for its beautiful Minster church. The family had also lands in Cornwall and in Yorkshire, being descended from the Yorkshire Hagets on the mother's side. And they were allied in marriage with Bartholomew Turet or Toret one of those Shropshire knights who were out in rebellion against King John.
  
  Eva de Oswaldestre had all her husband's love of accumulating money and estates. From John FitzPhilip she purchased the house and garden at Barlaston, where John the Forester formerly lived, for twenty silver marks, and more lands at Biddulph from Sir Nicholas Colyer, Knt., and at Gillow. She had property near Rugeley, at Colton. An Ingestre Deed of 30 Edward III describes certain lands there as "formerly belonging to Eva de Chetwynd." A messuage there, "formerly Eva's," was at that time held by her grandson, William Chetwynd of Shynton. Eva had to look well after her scattered estates of dower as other widows did, and was fond of litigation whether in the Courts of Law or in the field. She was only lately a widow when Geoffrey de Wastenays, the heir of Tixall, preferred a plaint against her at the Assizes for committting "waste and destruction" in houses and lands which she held as guardian of his inheritance. On this occasion she did not appear. But four years afterwards she won a verdict against him at Lichfield on a question of presentation to the Church of Tixall. Another charge was preferred against her (as had been laid against her husband) by Richard de Okeover for illegally detaining his cattle at Ipstones, but it was dismissed, Richard not appearing to prosecute. On another occasion she made a raid with two of her sons on the fishponds at Mutton, but this will be better told in another place. [The Chetwynds of Ingestre pp24-25]
  
  *No indications as to whom this princess is. Llewelyn ap Iorwerth is known to have married Tangwystl verch Llywarch who died c 1206, and Joan Plantagenet who predeceased him. It is possible that he married a third time before his death, someone much younger who is not mentioned in any source information other than this short mention here.
  
  _____________________________
  
  In 1282 Adam de Chetwynd, Eva de Oswaldestre and John her son and William the Provost were sued by Richard de Okeover and Beatrice his wife for disseizin of a house and of one third of 16 acres and one third of 100 acres of wood. Adam stated that he claimed through William de Ippestanes who was under age and in ward to him. William de Ippestanes stated that Richard and Beatrice had never been in seizing of the tenement because :-
  
  William de Ippestanes his father had enfeoffed in it one Petronilla the widow and
  
  after the death of Petronilla he had entered as of his own right.
  
  The verdict is illegible. Adam de Chetwynd was apparently executed in 1282. Eva de Oswaldestre was his wife and after his death claimed that he had given the wardship of Ipstones (inter alia) to her. [Ipstones Community Website ]
