• Notes

  Biography from https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Clifford-59: Idoine de Clifford was grandmother to both of the two great northern rivals and Shakespearean characters, Westmorland and Northumberland (father of Hotspur). Name Douglas Richardson writes:[1] The correct name of Henry de Percy's wife is Idoine de Clifford. "Idonia" or "Idonea" are the Latin forms of her name and should be avoided. There are no less than five separate visitations/medieval sources which name Idoine, wife of Sir Henry de Percy, as a Clifford, or the daughter of Lord Clifford: 1. Archaeologia Aeliana 3 (1844): 40 (Chronicles of Alnwick Abbey: "Iste Henricus disponsavit idoneam filiam Domini de Clyfford et genuit ex ea Anno Domini 1320 Henricum quartum et tertium Dominum de Alnewyk et alios plures filios et filias inter quos erat Thomas qui postea fuit Episcopus Norwicens ..."). 2. Atkinson, Cartularium Abbathiæ de Whiteby 2 (Surtees Soc. 72) (1881): 690-696 (Percy ped.: "The fourth Henry Lord Percy ... gat on Idonea Clyfford Henry, William, Richard, Maude, Alianour Fitzwater, Roger, and Margarett that was maried to the Erle of Angus Sonne and his heire."). 3. Flower, Vis. of Yorkshire 1563-4 (H.S.P. 16) (1881): 241-244 (Percy ped.: "Henry 4 Lord Percy. = Ida doughter of the Lord Clyfford."). This item is available online at the following weblink: Google Books. 4. Harvey et al., Vis. of the North 3 (Surtees Soc. 144) (1930): 18-20 (Percy ped.: "Henricus Percy = Idonea Clifforde"). Not available online. 5. Harvey et al., Vis. of the North 4 (Surtees Soc. 146) (1932): 17-24 (Lassels ped.: "Idonæ [Clifford] mar: to Henry lord Percy"). Not available online. Parentage Idoine de Clifford was the daughter of Robert de Clifford, Knt., of Appleby, 1st Baron Clifford and Maud de Clare, daughter of Sir Thomas de Clare of Thomond.[2][3] Estimated Birth Given that we know that her husband, Sir Henry Percy, was born in 1300 or 1301, and given that Henry's son and heir, also named Henry, was born about 1322-1325, the birth of Idoine de Clifford would necessarily have to fall about 1300-1310. Given the chronology, Idoine de Clifford can be placed as a daughter of Robert de Clifford (died 1314), 1st Lord Clifford, and his wife, Maud de Clare, which Robert and Maud were married in 1295. Idoine de Clifford was surely named for her father's maternal aunt, Idoine de Vipont (died 1333), wife of Roger de Leybourne, Knt., and John de Cromwell, Knt., Lord Cromwell. Marriage Idoine married[4] Henry de Percy, Knt., 2nd Lord Percy,[3] son and heir of Sir Henry Percy and his wife Eleanor, daughter of Richard Fitz Alan (or de Arundel), Knt., 8th Earl of Arundel.[2] Henry de Percy was born at Leconfield, Yorkshire, either 2 February 1299/1300 (father's inquisition) or 6 February 1300/1 (proof of age).[2][5] Documented Issue Idoine and Henry had five sons and four daughters: Sir Henry, 3rd Lord Percy, born about 1322-1325, died May 1368, married first Mary of Lancaster and second Joan de Orreby[2] William[2] Roger[2] Thomas, Bishop of Norwich, born about 1332, died 8 August 1369[2] Robert[2] Maud, wife of John de Neville, K.G., 3rd Lord Neville of Raby[2] Eleanor, wife of Sir John Fitz Walter, 2nd Lord FitzWalter[2] Isabel, wife of Sir William de Aton, 2nd Lord Aton[2] Margaret, wife of Sir Robert de Umfraville and Sir William de Ferrers, 3rd Lord Ferrers.[2] Disputed Issue Douglas Richardson's books, most recently Royal Ancestry, published in 2013,[5] do not list a son Richard. However, in material attributed to a post by Richardson (included in this profile), Richard is listed. Therefore Richard is retained here as a disputed son. Richard Death Sir Henry de Percy died at Warkworth, Northumberland 26 Feb 1351/2, and was buried at Alnwick, Northumberland. He left a will dated 13 September 1349, proved 12 March 1351/2, in which he bequeathed his son Henry, a vessel of salt with the arms of Percy and Arundel. His widow, Idoine, died 24 August 1365, and was buried at Beverley Minster, Yorkshire.[2][5] Sources ↑ 25 Dec 2014 posting of Douglas Richardson on soc.genealogy.medieval. ↑ 2.00 2.01 2.02 2.03 2.04 2.05 2.06 2.07 2.08 2.09 2.10 2.11 2.12 Douglas Richardson.
