=== Richard Corbet (II) of Wattlesborough, w ===
Richard Corbet (II) of Wattlesborough, who married Joan, daughter, and, in her issue, coheir of Bartholomew Toret. The said Richard is he who occurs from 1195 to 1217 and he was the son of the Richard Corbet of 1180. He seems to have died before his father-in-law, Bartholomew Toret, and it was his son and Bartholomew's grandson, who, as Richard, son of Richard Corbet, granted Buildwas between 1217 and 1225. In fact, we have good proof that the wife of Richard Corbet (III), and the mother of Robert Corbet, was not a Toret but a lady named Petronilla, who is said to have brought with her estates at Booley and Edgbolton.
