Theobald le Botiller

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
After the death of his first wife, Theobald remained a widower. Henry III of England requested the marriage of Theobald to Rohese de Verdon, daughter of Nicholas de Verdon of Alton, Staffordshire and Clemence. The agreement to marry occurred on 4 September 1225. The marriage is presumed to have shortly followed. This was the second marriage for both Theobald and Rohese.

His daughter, Maud le Boteler, was married to John FitzAlan, 6th Earl of Arundel and was mother of John FitzAlan, 7th Earl of Arundel.

Grace Dieu Priory chapter house The Grace Dieu Priory was an independent Augustinian priory near Thringstone in Leicestershire, England. It was founded around 1235-1241 by Roesia de Verdon and dissolved in October 1538. It was dedicated to the Holy Trinity and St Mary.

History The priory was founded c. 1239 by Rhosese (or Roesia) de Verdon. The priory was endowed with the manors of Belton, Leicestershire and "Kirkby in Kesteven" (Kirkby la Thorpe?), Lincolnshire; as well as the advowson of Belton Church. The priory was unusual in being independent of outside control. The nuns called themselves "the White Nuns of St. Augustine", and there is thought to be no other houses of their order in the country.

The priory was fairly large, having in 1337 sixteen nuns. It also had an attached hospital which cared for twelve poor people. The priory did, however, have some unusual practices: for example, the nuns were forbidden to ever leave the priory's precincts.

The priory escaped the first wave of dissolution of the smaller monasteries, but was finally dissolved in 1538.

Rohese, the daughter of Nicholas Verdon, married Thoebald le Botiller.
She bore Theobald three sons, John and two Theobalds. They all retained the surname of their mother, apparently because yet another Theobald, a son by Theobald Butler's 1st wife, inherited the Butler properties, offices, and privilidges.
