1. “Royal Ancestry: A Study in Colonial & Medieval Families,†Douglas Richardson (2013):
“MAUD OF ENGLAND, sometimes styled "Lady of the English" (rarely "Queen of the English"), daughter and heiress, born at London about 8 Feb. 1102 (8 years old in 1110). She married (1st) at Mainz 7 January 1114 HEINRICH (or HENRY) V, Holy Roman Emperor, son of Heinrich IV, Holy Roman Emperor, by Bertha, daughter of Otto, Count of Savoy. They had no issue. HEINRICH V died at Utrecht 23 May 1125. Maud was declared heir presumptive to her father in 1126. She married (2nd) Le Mans, Maine 17 June 1128 GEOFFREY PLANTAGENET, (nicknamed le Bel), Count of Anjou and Maine, Knt., son and heir of Foulques V le Jeune, Count of Anjou, King of Jerusalem, by his 1st wife, Eremburge, daughter and heiress of Helie, Count of Maine. He was born 24 August 1113. They had three sons, Henry (II) [King of England, Duke of Normandy and Aquitaine, Count of Anjou], Geoffrey [Count of Anjou and Nantes], and William Longespée. By an unknown mistress (or mistresses), Geoffrey also had one illegitimate son, Hamelin [5th Earl of Surrey], and two illegitimate daughters, Emma and Mary [Abbess of Shaftesbury]. On her father, King Henry I's death in 1135, she at once entered Normandy to claim her inheritance. The border districts submitted to her, but England chose her cousin, Stephen, for its king, and Normandy soon followed suit. The following year, Geoffrey gave Ambrières, Gorron, and Châtilon-sur-Colmont to Juhel de Mayenne, on condition that he help obtain the inheritance of Geoffrey's wife, Maud. In 1139 Maud landed in England with 140 knights, where she was besieged at Arundel Castle by King Stephen. In the civil war which ensued, Stephen was captured at Lincoln in Feb. 1141 and imprisoned at Bristol. A legatine council of the English church held at Winchester in April 1141 declared Stephen deposed and proclaimed Maud "Lady of the English." Stephen was subsequently released from prison and had himself recrowned on the anniversary of his first coronation. During 1142 and 1143, Geoffrey secured all of Normandy west and south of the Seine, and, on 14 Jan. 1144, he crossed the Seine and entered Rouen. He assumed the title of Duke of Normandy in summer 1144. In 1144 he founded an Augustine priory at Château-l'Ermitage in Anjou. Geoffrey held the duchy until 1149, when he and Maud conjointly ceded it to their son, Henry, which cession was formally ratified by King Louis VII of France the following year. GEOFFREY, Count of Anjou and Maine, died at Château-du-Loir 7 Sept. 1151, and was buried in St. Julien's, Le Mans, Maine. In 1153 the Treaty of Westminster allowed Stephen should remain King of England for life and that Maud's son, Henry, should succeed him. MAUD, late Empress of Almain, died at Rouen, Normandy 10 Sept. 1167, and was buried at Bec Abbey, Normandy. At her death, her wealth was distributed to the poor, and to various hospitals, churches, and monasteries.

iii. WILLIAM LONGESPEE (otherwise WILLIAM FITZ EMPRESS), Vicomte of Dieppe, of Malden, Essex, Throwley, Kent, North Luffenham, Rutland, and Acton and Oulton, Suffolk, 3rd son, born at Argentan 22 July 1136. He was knighted by Thibaut, Count of Blois, in 1150. In 1158 he gave the nuns of St. Mary of Mortain 40 shillings of Anjou annually from his manor of Ste. Mère Eglise [Manche]. In the period, 1159-63, he sought to marry Isabel de Warenne, Countess of Surrey [see WARENNE 7], widow of his cousin, William, Count of Boulogne and Mortain (son of King Stephen of England). The marriage was opposed by Archbishop Becket on grounds of affinity (he and her former husband being related in the 3rd degree of kindred). He was a benefactor of Walsingham Abbey.

Illegitimate children of Geoffrey Plantagenet, by an unknown mistress (or mistresses),
i. HAMELIN, 5th Earl of Surrey, married ISABEL DE WARENNE [see WARENNE 7].
ii. EMMA [OF ANJOU],* married in summer 1174 DAFYDD AB OWAIN, Prince (or King) of North Wales, younger son of Owain Gwynedd, by Christina, daughter of Gronw ab Owain ab Edwin. They had two sons, Owain and Einion, and two daughters, Gwenhwyfar (or Wennour) (wife of Meurig ap Roger Powys) and Gwenllian (wife of Gruffiidd ap Cadwgon). In 1157 he took part in the ambush of Hawarden Woods. In 1170 he and his brother, Rhodri, attacked and killed their half-brother, Hywel ab Owain, in a battle near Pentraeth. In 1173 he attacked another half-brother, Maelgwn ab Owain, and drove him from Anglesey. In 1174 he ejected all his rivals, whereby he became ruler of the whole of Gwynedd. There are evidences on the Pipe Roll of 1176 of Emma, wife of Dafydd ab Owain, having visited her brother, King Henry II of England. In 1175 he was attacked by his brother, Rhodri, and driven into the eastern half of Gweynedd. In 1177 King Henry II bestowed the manors of Ellesmere, Shropshire and Halesowen, Worcestershire on his sister, Emma. Dafydd subsequently settled in the Middle Country, where he resided in a castle at Rhuddlan, Caemarvonshire. In 1187 Archbishop Baldwin lodged one night at Rhuddlan Castle to visit Dafydd's wife, Emma, the king's sister. About 1190-4 Dafydd and his wife, Emma, together with their son, Owain, gave Stockett in Ellesmere, Shropshire to Haughmond Abbey. In 1193 she restored the manor of Halesowen, Worcestershire to her nephew, King Richard I, in exchange for rents of other manors including Broom and Clent, Worcestershire. In 1194 Dafydd was defeated by his nephew, Llywelyn ap Iorwerth [see WALES 6], in a battle at Aberconwy. About 1196 he and his wife, Emma, at the request of their son, ()wain, gave the whole land of Cricket (in Ellesmere), together with pannage for 100 swine, to Haughmond Abbey. In 1197 Dafydd was imprisoned by Llywelyn ap Iorwerth. He was released in Jan. 1198 by the intervention of Hubert Walter, Archbishop of Canterbury, and spent the rest of his life in England. In 1200 he and his wife, Emma, were sued in the king's court by Gerald and his wife, Margery, John Grefelne and his wife, Maud, and several other parties regarding one virgate and a half of land in Chatley (in Halesowen), Worcestershire. The same year King John ordered that Emma not be impleaded, except before the king himself, for any tenement which she held on that day that King Henry II gave her the manors of Ellesmere and Halesowen. In the assizes of October. 1203 [sic] Dafydd and his wife, Emma, were sued by Reynold de Thirn for disseising him of a tenement in Stockett and Kenewick (n Ellesmere), Shropshire, but the suit could not proceed as the property was then in the hands of the king. DAFYDD AB OWAIN, former Prince (or King) of North Wales, died in exile about May 1203, in which month King John ordered his justiciar to find an equivalent for Ellesmere, Shropshire for Emma, widow of Dafydd, as far as possible from the marches. His widow, Emma, was living in 1212, then holding Halesowen, Worcestershire. Sometime before her death, Emma conveyed three carucates of land and two mills in Chatley and Lapal (in Halesowen), Worcestershire to her granddaughter [“neptes"], Agnes, wife of Stephen de Chatley, in marriage. Emma presumably died c.1214, when her name last appears in the Pipe Rolls; in 1214 King John of England granted the manor of Halesowen, Worcestershire to Peter des Roches, Bishop of Winchester, for the purpose of building and endowing a religious house.

(* Note: Emme of Anjou above is sometimes confused in print with another Emme (living 1208), wife of Guy V de Laval, seigneur of Laval. Emme de Laval is identified in a charter to Byron Abbey as the "daughter of Reynold, Earl of Cornwall," which Reynold was an illegitimate son of Henry I, King of England. For further particulars on Emme of Cornwall, wife of Guy V de Laval, see Angot Généalogies Féodales Mayennaises du XIe an XIIIe Siècle (1942): 292-295; NEHGR 119 (1965): 94-102; 120 (1966): 230.)
Child of Emma, by Dafydd ab Owain:
a. OWAIN AP DAFYDD, son and heir. In 1204 King John of England ordered that the Sheriff of Warwickshire value Robert de Harcourt's manor of Elmdon, Warwickshire, and to give 13 librates therein to Owain ap Dafydd, in exchange for Owain's land of Ellesmere, Shropshire. About 1204 Owain confirmed the premises of Stockett (in Ellesmere), Shropshire to hold to Haughmond Abbey under himself and his heirs. In 1205 the king assigned him 15 librates of land in Waltham, Lincolnshire. In 1212 the king granted Owain ap Dafydd and his cousin, Gruffudd ap Rhodri, the three cantrefs of Rhos, Rhufoniog, and Dyffryn Clwyd, and also promising them Arfon, Arllechwedd, and Lleyn, if they could win them. It does not appear, however, that this grant had any practical effect. Eyton Antiqs. of Shropshire 10 (1860): 234-236, 246, 249-251. Lloyd Hist. of Wales 2 (1912): 589-590, 616, 640.
