illegit. s. of Sir Peter de la Mare† (d. bef. Apr. 1388), C131/204/48. of Little Hereford and Yatton, Herefs. m. (1) between Apr. 1402 and Feb. 1404, Isabel (d.1421), kinswoman of John Boulwas (d.1370) of Bolas, Salop, wid. of Sir John Eynesford (d.1396) of Tillington, Herefs., Isabel’s identity as a Boulwas has to be inferred. Bef. 1370 the manors of Bolas and Isombridge, Salop, and Brimfield, Herefs., were settled on John, son of Sir John Boulwas, and his issue, with remainder to Isabel and John Eynesford and their heirs: CIPM, xiii. 9; xv. 82; xvii. 624. In 1408 she is described as Isabel ‘Bowlas’ alias Eylesford: Reg. Mascall (Canterbury and York Soc. xxi), 173. She was, therefore, the adopted heir of the younger John, who died abroad without issue, but she was not his sister (he had a sister Isabel, who predeceased him): CIPM, xiii. 9. s.p.; (2) c. 1422, Alice (d. 14 Aug. 1436), da. of Richard, Lord Talbot (d.1396), wid. of Sir Thomas Barre (d.1420) of Barre’s Court in Holmer and Rotherwas, Herefs., 1s. 2da. Dist. 1430.
