The claimed first husband of Maud was Sir John le Strange, 3rd Lord Strange of
Knockyn, who died 1323. Maud then married Thomas Carew and in 1327/8 they sued
for dower, the cited source for this latter event being 'Placita de Banco
1327/8.'

Maud was the daughter of Sir Grimbald Pauncefote, probably he who held Wytton,
Worcestershire and Hasfeld, Gloucestershire, and who died 1308-1314. There are
lengthy accounts of two such men in Knights of Edward I, vol. 4, p. 10-11.

Thomas Carew, by his unnamed first wife, was the father of Nicholas Carew of
Beddington who died 1390. By Maud Pauncefote, he had Sir William and Hugh, as
both held lands of Grymbald Pauncefote in later years and Thomas did not.

The evidence that Thomas Carew was the son of Sir Nicholas Carew (c1265-1311)
is a 1349 deed cited in Catalogue of Ancient Deeds, vol. 3, A4007.

For an account of the Carews see "The Origin of the Carews" by J. Horace Round
in The Ancestor, April 1903, p. 19-53 and "The Ancestry of the Carews of
Beddington, Surrey and the Tuite Quartering of Carew," by Patrick
Montague-Smith, F.S.G. in Report No. 17 of The Friends of Lydiard Tregoz, 1984.
