- It seems that Joan, the daughter and coheir of Robert Aguillon, byMargery his wife, was the wife of Ralph FitzBernard (who died before 10June 1238), not the wife of his son John (who died shortly before 30October 1259). It is unlikely that Joan, who survived Ralph, was themother of his son John. The evidence is summarised below.
In Trinity 1239, Joan who was the wife of Ralph FitzBernard appears asone of the daughters of Margery, the sister of Idonea de Beche, daughterof William de Fresney [Curia Regis Rolls, vol.16, no 614]. Anotherdaughter of Margery is named as Isabel (deceased, leaving a son Adam, aminor, the son of Robert de Cokefeud), and these two, together withThomas de Poninges and Ela his wife, and Giles de Argenteam and Margeryhis wife, were summoned to answer with Idonea.
It appears that Joan, Isabel, Ela and Margery were the four daughters andcoheirs of Robert Aguillon. There is much evidence that they were hisheirs, and two of them are called his daughters by Complete Peerage -vol.1, p.196, says that Margery, the wife of Giles d'Argentine, was hisdaughter (without citing evidence), and vol.10, p.658, says that Ela, thewife of Thomas de Poynings, was his daughter by Margery his wife (citingAssize Roll 819, m.3, Coram Rege Rolls, Mich. 35-36 Hen. III, m.54; Trin.37 Hen. III, m.4). (Many authors have followed the account inBlomefield's History of Norfolk [vol.2, p.178], which is essentiallysimilar but contains a number of errors, including the identification oftheir mother as Agatha, daughter and coheir of Fulk de Beaufo.)
The sources cited by the Complete Peerage in the article on FitzBernardshow only that (i) John FitzBernard died shortly before 30 October 1259,and left a son John, aged 13, 14 or 15 and (ii) that the wardship of theland and heirs of John FitzBernard was granted on 15 February 1262/3 toJoan "de Aguylun", late the wife of Imbert Pugeis, and to their children- the wardship having previously been granted to Imbert. Possibly it wasassumed on this basis that John had been Joan's first husband and Ralphher son.
Finally, Joan's share of the Aguillon inheritance seems to have passed toRobert Pugeis, her son by Imbert [see, e.g., Cal. Inq. p. m. vol.1,p.901; Rot. Hundred. vol.1, pp.461,542]. Therefore, presumably, she wasnot the mother of John FitzBernard, her first husband's son. [SomeCorrections & Additions to CP]
