(_Rot. Claus._, 2 Edward the Third.) She was not, however, granted full liberty, or else she forfeited it again very quickly; for on February 5, 1329, William Lord Zouche of Haringworth was summoned to Court, and commanded to "bring with him quickly our cousin Alianora, who is in his company," with a hint that unpleasant consequences would follow neglect of the order. (_Rot. Pat._, 3 Edward the Third, Part 1.) A further entry on December 30 tells us that Alianora, wife of William La Zouche of Mortimer (so that her marriage with her gaoler's cousin had occurred in the interim), had been impeached by the Crown concerning certain jewels, florins, and other goods of the King, to a large amount, which had been "_esloignez_" from the Tower of London: doubtless by the citizens when they seized the fortress, and the impeachment was of course, like many other things, an outcome of Queen Isabelle's private spite. "The said William and Alianora, for pardon of all hindrances, actions, quarrels, and demands, until the present date, have granted, of their will and without coercion, for themselves and the heirs of the said Alianora, all castles, manors, towns, honours, and other lands and tenements, being of her heritage, in the county of Glamorgan and Morgannon, in Wales, the manor of Hanley, the town of Worcester, and the manor of Tewkesbury, for ever, to the King." The King, on his part, undertook to restore the lands, in the hour that the original owners should pay him 10,000 pounds in one day. The real nature of this non-coercive and voluntary agreement was shown in November, 1330, when (one month after the arrest of Mortimer) at the petition of Parliament itself, one half of this 10,000 pounds was remitted. Alianora _died_ June 30, 1337, and was _buried_ in Tewkesbury Abbey. 2. Philip, _died_ before April 22, 1214. _Married_ Margaret, daughter of Ralph de Goushill; _born_ July 25, 1296; _married_ before 1313; _died_ July 29, 1349. (She _married_, secondly, John de Ros.) 3. Isabel, _married_ (1) John Lord Hastings (2) about 1319, Ralph de Monthermer; _died_ December 4 or 5, 1335. Left issue by first marriage. The daughters of Edward the Second were brought up in her care. 4. Aveline, _married_ before 1329, Edward Lord Burnel; _died_ in May or June, 1363. No issue. 5. Elizabeth, _married_ before 1321 Ralph Lord Camoys; living 1370. Left issue. 6. Joan, _married_ Almaric Lord Saint Amand. [Doubtful if of t
