  === Life Sketch ===
  Some corrections and additions to the Complete Peerage says that “Isolt was not a Mortimer but was the daughter of Roger le Rus or Rous.” The Complete Peerage names Isolda as the daughter of Edmund Mortimer and his wife Margaret de Fiennes (although she is not listed among their children in another part of the same work). This suggestion is chronologically impossible if Isolda gave birth to her son Hugh Audley in [1289]. Several sources include “Roger le Rous” settling the manor of Eastington, Gloucestershire on “Walter de Balun and Isolt his wife” in Jun 1287 and “Isolt, daughter of Roger le Rus” claiming Eastington “as her right against Reynold de Balun (Walter’s brother and heir” in the Court of Common Pleas in 1289.
  ======================================
  Isolde (died 1338), wife successively of Sir Walter de Balun (died 1287) and Sir Hugh de Audley, Lord Audley (died 1325) is claimed in many secondary sources to have been a member of Mortimer family. Two such sources which make the Mortimer claim include Complete Peerage 1 (1910): 347–348 (sub Audley) and James Horace Round, Studies in Peerage and Family History (1901): 206–209. While it is true that Isolde and her 1st husband, Sir Walter de Balun, had the manor of Arley, Staffordshire for the term of their lives by grant dated 1287 from Sir Edmund de Mortimer, such a grant does not necessarily mean, suggest, or imply that Isolde was a Mortimer. Beyond the numerous claims in print that Isolde was a Mortimer, I know of no contemporary evidence which supports this allegation

  A Common Pleas record dated 1289 proves that Isolde was the daughter of Sir Roger le Rous [died 1294].
  Below is an abstract of this lawsuit:

  === Person note ===
  Douglas Richardson in the following post to SGM, 25 Jan 2002, makes an argument that Isolde/Iseult was a daughter of Hugh de Mortimer & Agatha de Ferrers, instead of Edmund de Mortimer by his 1st wife (as CP & many other sources have it). Although her parents are still uncertain (no direct evidence), the case of her not being a daughter of Edmund (or at least a legitimate daughter) is strengthened by the fact that, according to a post by Paul Reed (see notes under Edmund), Edmund was a cleric in the church until Nov 1282, and is not likely to be father of Isolde (who was certainly born before then).
  
  As pointed out by J.W. Flank, Douglas Richardson has since changed his opinion, thinking that Iseult is a sister of Edmund, but I don't think that Iseult was born as early as Douglas is now thinking that she was born. The relationship between Edmund & Iseult is based on the fact that Edmund gave rights to Upper Arley to Iseult for the remainder of her life, but Edmund was renting Much Marcle from Iseult's 1st husband Walter Balun, and, when Walter died, Iseult claimed an interest in Much Marcle (probably dowry rights), so the transference of Upper Marcle to Iseult could have been a "business deal" between Edmund & Iseult to replace her dowry rights. I am keeping the ancestry as proposed below until more information surfaces:

  Dear Newsgroup ~
  
  Last week I expressed my doubts that Iseult, wife of Hugh de Audley, of Stratton (in Stratton Audley), co. Oxford, was the daughter of Edmund de Mortimer, Baron of Wigmore, co. Hereford. I made that assessment based on a careful review of the evidence, which, in my opinion, simply did not support such a filiation.
  
  Upon further review of the evidence offline with Chris Phillips, we established that the sole source for Iseult's parentage appears to be one of the unpublished "Additional Manuscripts" kept by the British Library. Chris has since examined the manuscript in question and determined that either the manuscript or folio number cited by modern sources is in error. As such, it doesn't seem possible any time soon for us to learn the nature of the information supposedly recorded in the Additional Manuscripts material. Regardless, while that avenue has reached a dead end, it appears another door has opened which appears to provide the correct solution to the problem.
  
  Tonight while I was going through the biography of Sir James de Audley in George Frederick Beltz' interesting book, Memorials of the Most Noble Order of the Garter (1841), I discovered a statement pertaining to Sir James de Audley's family, which almost certainly relates to relatives of his grandmother, Iseult de Audley. Beltz states that Sir James de Audley was severely wounded in the Battle of Poitiers in 1356. According to Beltz, Froissart (a contemporary historian) relates that "upon his return to his lodging, our knight [Sir James de Audley] sent for his brother sir Peter de Audeley, sir Bartholomew Burghershe, sir Stephen Cosington, the lord Willoughby, and sir Ralph de Ferrers, who, he says, were of his blood and lineage."
  
  This list of Audley kinsmen is similar to the list of people Nat Taylor posted last week in the Bohun-Basset consanguinity case, in that the people named were probably distantly related to one another, making it somewhat difficult to pinpoint the exact link tying the people together. Not surprisingly, in a footnote, Beltz adds: "... Sir James' relationship to the four last-named knights does not appear," showing that Beltz was stymied in his attempt to determine the common link between the five individuals.
  
  Reviewing the list of the men called kinsmen by Sir James de Audley, a good deal is known of the ancestry of three of these individuals, namely Sir Bartholomew Burghersh, 4th Lord Burghersh; John de Willoughby, 2nd Lord Willoughby of Eresby; and Sir Ralph de Ferrers. Reviewing the ancestry of Sir Bartholomew Burghersh, for example, it is apparent at once that he was great-grandson of Edmund de Mortimer, lst Lord Mortimer, who is the alleged father of Sir James de Audley's grandmother, Iseult. This would surely be strong confirmation that Iseult de Audley definitely had a Mortimer connection.
  
  Reviewing the ancestry of the other two individuals, John de Willoughby and Ralph de Ferrers, however, it shows they possess no such link to the Mortimer family. Rather, they both descend from William de Ferrers, 5th Earl of Derby (died 1254). Ralph de Ferrers was grandson of the 5th Earl, while John de Willoughby was great-grandson of the 5th Earl.
  
  Given the common link between John de Willoughby and Ralph de Ferrers, it is difficult to explain their intended tie to Sir James de Audley, if in fact Sir James' grandmother, Iseult, was the daughter of Edmund de Mortimer, lst Lord Mortimer, as alleged in print. Iseult as Edmund's daughter would seemingly have no connection to William de Ferrers, 5th Earl of Derby. However, checking the accounts of the various families, a neat solution has appeared on the horizon. My Mortimer family notes show that Edmund de Mortimer had an uncle, Hugh de Mortimer (died 1273) of Chelmarsh, who married Agatha de Ferrers (died 1306), daughter of William de Ferrers, 5th Earl of Derby. If Iseult de Audley was the child of Hugh and Agatha, it would give her grandson, Sir James de Audley, the needed links to both the Mortimer and Ferrers families. Also, it would solve the obvious chronology problem of Iseult being Edmund de Mortimer's daughter.
  
  When anyone has a moment, I'd appreciate comments on this placement of Iseult as a member of the Mortimer family. By placing Iseult as Hugh de Mortimer's daughter, she becomes granddaughter rather than great-granddaughter of the ever popular lady on the newsgroup, Gladys Dhu. For convenience sake, I've posted below the lengthy list of colonial immigrants who descend from Iseult, wife of Hugh de Audley.
  
  In closing, I wish to express my thanks to Chris Phillips for his continued efforts in helping to solve these difficult and longstanding medieval problems. Friendship and collegiality are the two of the keys to solving the many genealogical mysteries which have long eluded us.

  Isolda, m. 1st to Walter Balem, and 2ndly, to Hugh, Lord Audley. [Sir Bernard Burke, Dormant, Abeyant, Forfeited and Extinct Peerages, Burke's Peerage Ltd, London, England, 1883, p. 383, Mortimer, Barons Mortimer, of Wigmore, Earls of March]
  
  _______________________________________
  
  There is much debate as to the parentage of Isolde de Mortimer - consider the following: "Magna Charta Sureties" cites the following article for the parentage of Isolde de Mortimer:
  
  'Mortimer of Wigmore'
  
  Hugh Audley, senior, Governor of Montgomery Castle and Lord Audley (1267-1326), is said to have married before 7 Jane 1293, and probably in 1288, Isolt, widow of Sir Walter de Balun, of Much Marcle, co. Hereford (who was living and married to her in 1286/7), daughter of Sir Edmund de Mortimer, of Wigmore, co. Hereford, by Margaret, daughter of Sir William de Fiennes. She brouth him the manors of Eastington, co. Gloucester, and of Thornbury, co. Hereford. (Complete Peerage, revised edition, I:347). This marriage can hardly have taken place later than 1288, as on the previous page it is stated that their second son, Hugh Audley, junior, Earl of Gloucester, was born about 1289.
  
  There is an account of the family of Balun by J.H. Round ('The Family of Ballon." in his 'Studies in the Peerage and Family History'). From this it appears that the above Sir Walter de Balun was the brother and successor of JOhn de Balun, who died in 1275. Sir Walter de Balun leased Much Marcle of three years from 8 Sept 1285 to Edmund de Mortimer, whose daughter he had married. Edmund de Mortimer eventually obtained possession of the manor and bestowed on his daughter one third of it, known afterwards as "Purparty Audley," from Audley, her second husband. There is a similar account by I.J. Sanders, under the barony of Much Marcle. (English Baronies).
  
  But it is chronologically impossible that the above Isolt de Mortimer should have been the daughter of Edmund de Mortimer. Lord Mortimer, by his wife Margaret de Fiennes, whom he married about 1285, only four years before their supposed younger grandson the Earl of Gloucester was born!
  
  Pedigrees of Mortimer do not mention Isolt, and she is not referred in the 'Complete Peerage' under Mortimer of Wigmore. There Edmund de Mortimer and Margaret de Fiennes are said to have had only three daughters; Maud, first wife of Sir Theobald de Verdun, and Joan and Elizabeth, both nuns. (Complete Peerage IX:283) In fact there was another daughter Alianore, first wife of Sir William de Kyme, Lord Kyme. (Miscellania Genealogica et Heraldria, 5 Series, VIII:66). The wife of Hugh Sudley, and widow of Walter de Balun, is described as Jone (not Isolt) in 1292 (Year Book, 20 Edward I); but elsewhere she is called Isolt.
  
  What is the solution? It seems clear that Isolt was a daughter of the above Edmund de Mortimer. This is shown by the descent of the Manor of Upper Arley, part of Staffordshire until 1895, and now in Worcestershire. (Victoria County Histories Worcestershire, Vol 3) In 1276 it was granted to Roger de Mortimer, of Wigmore, and passed in 1282 to his son Edmund, who granted it in turn to his daughter Isolt and her first husband Walter de Balun for their lives. (Calendar of Close Rolls, 1323-7, p467). After the forfeiture of Isolt's second husband Hugh Audley, in 1322, the manor was granted by the King to Isolt; and she held it until her death in 1338.
  
  Isolt de Mortimer must either have been illegitimate, or daughter of Sir Edmund de Mortimer, Lord Mortimer, by an unknown earlier marriage. He is said to have been aged 20 and more in 1282, and was probably born about 1250. He is unlikely to have waited until 1285 to get married, and may well have been married young as his father did.

  Dear Newsgroup ~
  
  Recent discussions have explored the evidence for the parentage of Iseult, wife successively of Walter de Balun, Knt. (living 1287), and Hugh de Audley, Knt., Lord Audley (died 1325). Various sources in print state she was the daughter of Edmund de Mortimer, Knt., lst Lord Mortimer (died 1304). They give as their chief source an unpublished citation, which neither I or Chris Phillips have been able to locate.
  
  While I believe Iseult was definitely a Mortimer, there are several problems with her being assigned as a daughter of Edmund de Mortimer. My research shows that Iseult's first husband, Walter de Balun, was born about 1225, being aged 50 at his brother's death in 1275.
