After the death of his wife three years later in 1225,
Henry III of England requested the marriage of Theobald to
Roesia de Verdun, daughter of Nicholas de Verdun (Verdon) of
Alton,
Staffordshire and Clementia, daughter of Philip le Boteler,[1] and the widow of William Perceval de Somery. The agreement to marry occurred on 4 September 1225. The marriage is presumed to have followed shortly afterwards. Their children were
Matilda (otherwise "Maud") de Verdun, (d. 27 November 1283) who married firstly
John FitzAlan, feudal Lord of Clun and Oswestry and, after the death in 1243 of his maternal uncle
Hugh d'Aubigny, 5th Earl of Arundel, without heirs, John inherited jure matris the castle and Honour of Arundel. Matilda/Maud de Verdun married secondly Richard de Amundeville, as is made clear in her Inquisition Post Mortem where she is cited as Maud (Late) the wife of Richard de Amundevyl, alias Lady Maud de Verdoun, and mention of manors within her dower that pertained to the Honour of Arundell.[2]
