As to these supposed daughters, John de Weyland, of Blaxhall and Ash, Suffolk [d. 13 12), had a wife named Mary, who occurs as such from 16 Edw. I to 2 Edw.

" Katherine, da. and coh. of Sir John Brus," is said, in the pedigree of Howard, to have m. Sir John Howard, and to have been grandmother of William, Chief Justice in 1297: but this pedigree is well known to be spurious. («) Ch. Inq. p. m., Edw. II, file 98, no. 4. (*) Close Roll, 19 Edw.
