  Note: AR & MCS name her simply Maud and say her father was 1st Lord. When it comes to peerage titles and creations, I bow to Burke's Peerage. Although I think Maud's father was the one that crenellated the Manor to make Rotherfield Greys Castle in 1347.

  [Wings-I HOPE.FTW] Maud de Grey was the dau. of John de Grey of Rotherfield. He was 2nd Lord Grey. Her mother was the widow of Sir John Botetort. From: Pedigrees of some of the Emperor Charlemagne's Descendants, Vol. II, page 123; and Magna Charta Sureties.
  
  === Greys Court in Rotherfield Greys, Oxfordshire ===
  The title of Baron Grey of Rotherfield was created once in the Peerage of England. On 25 August 1338 Sir John de Grey was summoned to parliament. He was invested as Knight of the Order of the Garter ten years later. On the death of the fourth baron in 1388, the barony became dormant.
  
  However, the estate reaches back farther to the Grey family's ancestor, the Norman knight Anchetil de Greye, who is specifically mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1086 as the lord of the Rotherfield estate or manor.
  
  The principal estate of the Lords Grey was Greys Court located in Rotherfield Greys, Oxfordshire. They were also feudal barons of Shabbington in Buckinghamshire and Bedale in Yorkshire.
