- Maud Marshal, Countess of Norfolk, Countess of Surrey (1192 – 27 March 1248) was an Anglo-Norman noblewoman and a wealthy co-heiress of her father William Marshal, 1st Earl of Pembroke, and her mother Isabel de Clare suo jure 4th Countess of Pembroke. Maud was their eldest daughter.[1] She had two husbands: Hugh Bigod, 3rd Earl of Norfolk, and William de Warenne, 6th Earl of Surrey.
Matilda's birthdate is unknown other than being post 1191. She was the eldest daughter of William Marshal, 1st Earl of Pembroke and Isabel de Clare, 4th Countess of Pembroke, herself one of the greatest heiresses in Wales and Ireland. Maud had five brothers and four younger sisters. She was a co-heiress to her parents' extensive rich estates.
Her paternal grandparents were [[John FitzGilbert Marshal] and Sybilla of Salisbury, and her maternal grandparents were Richard de Clare, 2nd Earl of Pembroke, known as "Strongbow", and Aoife of Leinster.
Sometime before Lent in 1207, Maud married her first husband, Hugh Bigod, 3rd Earl of Norfolk. It was through this marriage between Maud and Hugh that the post of Earl Marshal of England came finallyto the Howard Dukes of Norfolk.[2] In 1215, Hugh was one of the twenty-five sureties of the Magna Carta. He came into his inheritance in 1221, thus Maud became the Countess of Norfolk at that time. Together they had five children:[3]
* Roger Bigod, 4th Earl of Norfolk (1209–1270), married Isabella of Scotland. He died childless.
* Hugh Bigod (1212–1266), Justiciar of England. Married Joan de Stuteville, by whom he had issue.
* Isabel Bigod (c. 1215 – 1250), married firstly Gilbert de Lacy of Ewyas Lacy, by whom she had issue; she married secondly John FitzGeoffrey, Lord of Shere, by whom she had issue.
* Ralph Bigod (born c. 1218, date of death unknown), married Bertha de Furnival, by whom he had one child.
* William Bigod
Hugh Bigod died in 1225. Maud married her second husband, William de Warenne, 6th Earl of Surrey before 13 October that same year. Together they had two children:
* John de Warenne, 7th Earl of Surrey (August 1231 – c. 29 September 1304), in 1247 married Alice le Brun de Lusignan, a half-sister of King Henry III of England, by whom he had three children.
* Isabella de Warenne (c. 1228 – before 20 September 1282), married Hugh d'Aubigny, 5th Earl of Arundel. She died childless.
Maud's second husband died in 1240. Her youngest son John succeeded his father as the 7th Earl of Surrey, but as he was a minor, Peter of Savoy, uncle of Queen consort Eleanor of Provence, was guardian of his estates.
Maud died on 27 March 1248 at the age of about fifty-six years and was buried at Tintern Abbey with her mother, possibly her maternal grandmother, and two of her brothers.
