  === Life Sketch ===
  Sir Hugh de Audley of Stratton Audley (c. 1276 – 1325), Lord of Stratton Audley, was a 13th- and 14th-century English noble. During his life he acted as Constable of Montgomery Castle, Sheriff of Shropshire, Sheriff of Staffordshire, Justice of North Wales, Keeper of Selkirk Forest, and acted as an ambassador to France. Hugh participated in the rebellion of Thomas, 2nd Earl of Lancaster and surrendered prior to the Battle of Boroughbridge in 1322. He remained a prisoner held at Wallingford Castle until he died in 1325.
  
  Biography
  Hugh was the fifth and youngest son of James Audley and Ela de Longspee, daughter of William Longespée the Younger. After the death of his father in 1272, Hugh inherited Stratton Audley, Oxfordshire, the dowry of his mother. During 1294 Hugh took part in King Edward I's Gascony campaign. Whilst campaigning he was captured fighting the French and was held prisoner until 2 April 1299. Between 1299 to 1302, he took part in the English campaigns in Scotland. In 1306, he served as justice of the peace in North Wales and in 1309 he was appointed Constable of Montgomery Castle. Hugh was also present at the Battle of Bannockburn against the Scots in 1314.
  
  Audley was created Baron Audley of Stratton Audley by writ in 1321. Hugh and his younger son, also named Hugh, took part in the rebellion of the lords of the Welsh Marches against Hugh Despenser the Younger in 1321. After initial successes, Audley surrendered with his ally Maurice de Berkeley on 6 February 1322. He was imprisoned in Wallingford Castle, where the younger Hugh joined him a few weeks later after the Battle of Boroughbridge. An attempt to free prisoners from the castle in 1323 ultimately failed. Hugh died while imprisoned at the castle in 1325.
  
  Family
  He married, in 1288, Isolde, the widow of Walter de Balun. She was the daughter of Roger le Rous and Alianore de Avenbury.
  They had the following known issue:
  1. James de Audley (died 1334), with his partner Eve de Clavering, had two illegitimate children, Peter and James.
  2. Hugh de Audley, Earl of Gloucester (died 1347), married Margaret de Clare and had a daughter, Margaret de Audley, 2nd Baroness Audley.
  3. Alice de Audley (died 1374) married firstly Ralph de Greystoke, 1st Baron Greystoke and, secondly, Ralph Neville, 2nd Baron Neville de Raby, and had children with both spouses.

  HUGH AUDLEY, of Stratton Audley, Oxon, youngest son of James AUDLEY or ALDITHLEY, of Heleigh, co. Stafford, by Ela, daughter of William LONGESPEE; was born circa 1267, and obtained from his mother soon after her husband's death, a reversionary grant, (1272-73) of Stratton Audley, which had been her inheritance. He was in the French wars, 1294, &c.; a prisoner in France 2 April 1299; In the Scottish wars, 1299-1302, and again 1313; he was in Gascony 11304/5; Justice of North Wales 1306; and was Governor of Montgomery Castle, 1309. He was summoned to Parliament 15 May 1321, the writ being directed Hugoni de Audele seniori, to distinguish him from his 2nd. son, Hugh Audley, junior, who had been so summoned in 1317. In 1321/2 he joined the insurrection of the Earl of Lancaster, but surrendered before the battle of Boroughbridge, 16 March 1321/2, and was confined in Wallingford Castle. He married, before 7 January 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 brought him the maiiors of Eastington, co. Gloucester, and of Thornbury, co. Hereford. He died between November 1325, and March 1325/6, probably while still a prisoner. No trace can be found of the pardon which he is sometimes said to have received, and any peerage which he may be held to have possessed, may be treated as having been forfeited by attainder. His widow was living 1336. [Complete Peerage I:347-8]

  === It appears the effigy shown is not indeed Hugh ===
  The well sourced sites show that Hugh died at Wallingford, Berkshire, England, so the idea he and his wife were buried or their effigies were displayed in modern times at St. Bartholomew's in Much Marcle, Herefordshire, England is a mystery I wanted to solve. This link addresses the disconnect. FYI. A beginning of a discussion perhaps, but interesting reading.
  
  ' MORE ABOUT THIS MONUMENT
  Among the fine tomb monuments in St Bartholomew’s church, Much Marcle, one in the north-west corner of a thirteenth-century chapel, known since the seventeenth-century as the Kyrle chapel, has tended to be overlooked. It is not in its original position. It was previously in the north aisle and before that in the middle of the chancel but that was not necessarily its original position.
  
  The monument is carved from Painswick stone from Gloucestershire and is probably a locally made product. It is in good condition, but has probably been ‘tidied up’ in a restoration at some time. Two finely carved figures of a man in armour and his wife rest on a panelled tomb-chest. Two sides of the tomb chest can be seen, although it is entirely possible that carved panels are also on the sides against the walls. Rectangular panels decorated with shields suspended from brackets alternate with square panels with angels holding shields hung on straps around their heads. There was originally a fine heraldic display painted on them proclaiming the identity of the couple commemorated. However, all traces of paint have long since been scrubbed away and no record remains of what was once shown.
  
  The monument has traditionally thought to be to Hugh, Lord Audley who died in 1325. However, it clearly dates from nearly a century later. If it was a monument of c. 1325 the man would have been shown in a textile gown over mail, with very little plate armour, except perhaps to protect his elbows and knees. But the military effigy at Much Marcle wears plate armour consisting of two lame spaudlers, vambraces, couters with scalloped side-wings and two additional lames above and below, plate gauntlets, cuisses, greaves, sabatons and poleyns, which have a mail fringe below. Over the torso is a short, tight-fitting coat armour (a so-called jupon). The head is protected by a pointed basinet, while an aventail and gorget below protect the neck. This armour points to a date in the early-fifteenth century. This dating is reinforced by the fact that early fourteenth-century effigies are usually shown cross-legged, but here the legs are straight.
  
  The lady’s dress is also wrong for a date of c. 1325. She wears a houpelande, which is gathered tightly under the bust, with wide hanging sleeves; this garment was fashionable c. 1380-1420. The houplelande shown here stands clear of the neck and opens slightly at the top, an early-fifteenth century development. Her hair is bound in cauls, with a padded circular roll shown on top. This was fashionable at the turn of the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries. The most likely candidates for this tomb monument are Thomas Walwyn (d. 1415) and his wife, Isabella Hathaway. He was the elder son of Richard Walwyn of Stoke Edith and Johanna de Helyon, the daughter of Walter de Helyon, whose wooden effigy remains in Much Marcle church and from whom the couple inherited Hellens, a mansion in Much Marcle. Thomas died in 1415. His will is one of the earliest written in English. He asked to be buried in Much Marcle church, but made no mention of a monument, which could have been already prepared in his lifetime. He asked for some land to be sold; of the proceeds one third was used to fund the making of the steeple of Much Marcle church. The rest would be devoted to good works which would benefit his soul; in his case he chose poor prisoners, neighbouring poor and the marriage of young women. Thomas also left land to found a perpetual chantry in Much Marcle church. Where this chantry was located in Much Marcle church we do not know, although the Kyrle chapel is a possibility.

  HUGH de Audley ([1267]-[Wallingford Castle] [Nov 1325/Mar 1326]). He was summoned to Parliament 15 May 1321, whereby he is held to have become Lord Audley. He joined the rebellion of the Earl of Lancaster in 1322, but surrendered and was held prisoner in Wallingford Castle[48]. m (before 7 Jan 1293) as her second husband, ISOLDA de Mortimer, widow of WALTER de Ballon of Much Marcle, Herefordshire, [illegitimate] daughter of [EDMUND [I] de Mortimer of Wigmore, Herefordshire & his mistress ---] (-after 1336). According to the Complete Peerage[49], Isolda was the daughter of Edmund [I] de Mortimer and his wife Margaret de Fiennes but this is chronologically impossible if her son Hugh was born in [1289]. It is therefore assumed that Isolda was Edmund de Mortimer's illegitimate daughter, although no proof has been found that this is correct. Another possibility is that she was Edmund's sister[50]. Her first name suggests a Welsh origin. Edmund de Mortimer gave her and her first husband the manor of Arley, Staffordshire[51]. Lord Hugh & his wife had three children:
  a) JAMES Audley of Stratton Audley (-before 1 Mar 1334, bur Langley Abbey, Norfolk). Mistress: (after 24 Jun 1314) EVA de Clavering, widow firstly of THOMAS Audley and secondly of THOMAS de Ufford, daughter of JOHN de Clavering Lord Clavering & his wife Hawise de Tibetot (-30 Sep 1369, bur Langley Abbey, Norfolk). A manuscript genealogy of the founders of Horsham priory, Norfolk names “Evam...cognomen...Clavering” as the child of “Johannem”, son of “Robertum filium Rogeri”, adding that she had “filiam...Evam, quæ nunc se clamat advocatricem domus de Sibeton, de Langley, sanctæ Fidis et de Bliburg” who married firstly “Thomæ de Audele” who died childless and secondly “militi Radulfo de Ufford”, thirdly “Jacobo de Audele”, and fourthly “Roberto Benhalle militi” who died childless[52]. She married thirdly Robert de Benhale Lord Benhale. James had four illegitimate children by his mistress:
  i) PETER Audley (-1359). A manuscript genealogy of the founders of Horsham priory, Norfolk names “duos filios et duas filias...Jacobum et Petrum, Annam et Hawisiam” as the children of “Evam...” and “Jacobo de Audele”[53].
  ii) JAMES Audley (-Fontenay, Poitou 1369, bur Poitiers). A manuscript genealogy of the founders of Horsham priory, Norfolk names “duos filios et duas filias...Jacobum et Petrum, Annam et Hawisiam” as the children of “Evam...” and “Jacobo de Audele”[54]. Governor of Aquitaine and seneschal of Poitou. He was one of the founder members of the Order of the Garter[55].
  iii) ANNE . A manuscript genealogy of the founders of Horsham priory, Norfolk names “duos filios et duas filias...Jacobum et Petrum, Annam et Hawisiam” as the children of “Evam...” and “Jacobo de Audele”[56].
  iv) HAWISE . A manuscript genealogy of the founders of Horsham priory, Norfolk names “duos filios et duas filias...Jacobum et Petrum, Annam et Hawisiam” as the children of “Evam...” and “Jacobo de Audele”[57].
  b) HUGH Audley ([1289][58]-10 Nov 1347, bur Tonbridge Priory). He was summoned to Parliament 30 Nov 1317, whereby he is held to have become Lord Audley. He was created Earl of Gloucester 16 Mar 1337. m (Windsor 28 Apr 1317) as her second husband, MARGARET de Clare, widow of PIERS Gavaston Earl of Cornwall, daughter of GILBERT de Clare Earl of Gloucester and Hereford & his second wife Joan of England ([1293]-9 Apr 1342). The Chronica de Fundatoribus et Fundatione of Tewkesbury Abbey names “Elianoram, Elizabetham, et Margaretam” as the three daughters of “Gilbertus secundus” and his wife “Johanna de Acres, filia regis Edwardi primi”, adding in a later passage that “domina Isabella [error for Margareta] tertia filia Gilberti secundi” married “domino Hugoni de Audley”[59]. Lord Hugh & his wife had one child:
  i) MARGARET Audley (-after 28 Jan 1348, bur Tonbridge). She succeeded her father as Baroness Audley. m (before 6 Jul 1336) as his second wife, RALPH de Stafford Lord Stafford, son of EDMUND de Stafford Lord Stafford & his wife Margaret Basset (24 Sep 1301-31 Aug 1372, bur Tonbridge).
  c) ALICE (-13 Jan 1375, bur Durham Cathedral Church). A mid-15th century manuscript records that "Radulfum de Neuille" married "Alesia, filia Hugonis de Audeley"[60]. “Michael de la Pole miles, dominus de Wingfeild” founded Kingston-upon-Hull priory, for the souls of “…Radulphi de Nevill patris et Alesiæ matris…Johannis [de Nevill domini de Raby] et Matildæ quondam uxoris eiusdem Johannis”, by charter dated 18 Feb 1378[61]. m firstly (1317) RALPH de Greystoke of Greystoke, son of ROBERT FitzRalph & his wife Elizabeth --- (15 Aug 1299-Gateshead 14 Jul 1323, bur Durham Cathedral Church). He was summoned to Parliament in 1322 whereby he is held to have become Lord Greystoke. m secondly (1327) RALPH Neville of Raby Lord Neville, son of RANDOLPH Neville Lord Neville & his first wife Eupheme --- ([before 1291]- 5 Aug 1368, bur Durham).

   Note: HUGH de Audley ([1267]-[Wallingford Castle] [Nov 1325/Mar 1326]). He was summoned to Parliament 15 May 1321, whereby he is held to have become Lord Audley. He joined the rebellion of the Earl of Lancaster in 1322, but surrendered and was held prisoner in Wallingford Castle[52]. m ([1288/89]) as her second husband, ISOLDA le Rous, widow of WALTER de Ballon of Much Marcle, Herefordshire, daughter of ROGER le Rous & his wife --- ([before 1273]-after 1336).

Lord Hugh & his wife had three children:
