Joan de Elsfield, Margaret de Audley, and Agnes de Mautravers, co-heirs of Edmund Bereford

Dates: flourished mid-fourteenth century

Biography

Three sisters who inherited portions of the Bereford family estates, including Adwell, after Edmund Bereford's death in 1354.

Notes / Sources

The exact proportions are inferred only insofar as the source states that the manor appeared to be divided equally and specifically records a one-third Mautravers interest in 1358.

Research sources:
- Victoria County History, Oxfordshire, volume VIII (1964), pp. 7-10, as reproduced in the Adwell parish history; corroborating discussion of the Bereford co-heirs. — https://astonrowant.wordpress.com/adwell-parish/
