Chronicle of this board
The woman in the house the year the writ was written
Joan Martin was wife of Nicholas Audley when Edward II summoned him on 8 January 1313. The dignity is his. The blood of later generations has to come through a woman in this house.
Heirs general means that one day a daughter will be the barony. Joan stands at the beginning of that logic, whether or not she ever heard the phrase.
Wardrobe
Parliamentary household dress: ruby wool, gold lattice at the sleeve, linen veil, silver-gilt circlet, a diamond-clasped girdle. Not a peeress in her own right — not yet the age of suo jure Audley women — but the first baron's lady.
