Alice Camoys was actually Elizabeth Mortimer's step-daughter; see, for example, Benolte et al. Vis. of Sussex 1330, 1633-4 (H.S.P. 53) (1905): 25-30 (Lewknor ped.), which identifies Alice's mother as her father's 1st wife, Elizabeth Louches, not his 2nd wife, Elizabeth Mortimer]. Had Alice Camoys been Elizabeth Mortimer's daughter, a 3rd degree of kinship would have existed between Edward and Mary. Such near kinship would surely have been mentioned in the dispensation if such a relationship actually existed). Acheson Gentry Community (1992): 234-235. Nelson Monstrous Adversary (2003): 10.
