General Notes:
MATILDA of Angus. She succeeded her father as Ctss of Angus, suo iure. The Complete Peerage records her first marriage without citing the corresponding primary source, although it is implied from the Chronicle of Melrose which records the death in 1242 of "John Cumin earl of Angus…in France". The Chronicle of Melrose records that "the lord Gillebert de Humframville took the countess of Angus to wife" in 1243. A writ dated 31 Mar "29 Hen III", after the death of "Gilbert de Umfranvill alias de Umframvill" assigned dower to "Maud late the wife of the said Gilbert". "Matildis comitissa de Anego…in…viduitatis mee" confirmed its churches to Aberbrothoc by undated charter witnessed by "dno Gilb de Haya, dno Johe de Haya, dno Willmo de Haya, dno Nigello de Mubray, dno Willmo Juuene de Haya…". "Matild comitissa de Anego" confirmed donations of "terre in territorio Kerimor" to Aberbrothoc, made by "Gillecrist…comes de Anego abavus meus…Gillecrist proavus meus…Malcolmo pater meus", by undated charter witnessed by "Dno G. de Haya, Dno Johe de Haya, Dno W. de Haya…Dno W. iuvene de Haya, Dno Malcolmo de Haya…". Her third marriage is confirmed by letters close dated 2 Dec 1247 under which Henry III King of England granted four bucks from Eleham Park to "the countess of Angus, the wife of Richard of Dover".
