=== Life Sketch ===
John de Warenne (30 June 1286 – June 1347), 7th Earl of Surrey or Warenne ...
On 25 May 1306 Warenne married Joan of Bar, daughter of count Henry III of Bar and Eleanor of England, eldest daughter of king Edward I of England. The two were soon estranged and lived apart, and had no children, though the marriage was never dissolved.
Warenne instead had a long partnership/relationship with Matilda de Nerford, with whom he had several illegitimate children, and later with Isabella Holland, sister of Thomas Holland, later earl of Kent.

Dictionary of National Biography, 1885-1900, Volume 59, by Thomas Frederick Tout:
...
Warenne left numerous illegitimate children. His children by Matilda de Nerford, named
1. John and
2. Thomas, who were living in 1316, had apparently died before him.
3. He had a Welsh son named Ravlyn, who in 1334 joined in the attack of the Hope garrison on Ralph Butler.
The sons mentioned in the will are:
(1) Sir William de Warenne, the largest legatee, to whom his father had in January 1340 granted 122 acres of waste from the manor of Hatfield, Yorkshire, at a rent of 10l. a year (Cal. Pat. Rolls, 1338–40, p. 411).
(2) Edward de Warenne, the same probably as the Sir Edward de Warren who, by his marriage with Cicely de Eton, heiress of the barons of Stockport, established himself at Poynton and Stockport, Cheshire, and was the ancestor of the later Warrens of Poynton, barons of Stockport. It was in honour of the last male representative of this house, Sir George Warren (d. 1801), that John Watson, rector of Stockport, wrote his elaborate ‘History of the Earls of Warren or Surrey,’ in which he vainly sought to prove the legitimate descent of his benefactor from Reginald de Warren, the son of Earl William (d. 1138) [q. v.] of the elder Norman house, and to urge that the earldom ought to be revived in his favour. The early arms of this family suggest that Matilda de Nerford was Edward's mother.
(3) Another William de Warenne, prior of Horton, Kent, to whom his father bequeathed his French bible.
There were also three daughters:
(4) Joan de Basing;
(5) Catharine; and
(6) Isabella, a canoness of Sempringham.
