GE>Re descent of the Berkeley family of Berkely Castle from King John.
GE>Repy to Don Stone: thanks for the information about Richard Fitzroy.
GE>I also think the family are decended from Isabella of Angouleme and
GE>Hugh le Brun.
GE>Burkes Extinct & Dormat Peerage gives a Maurice de Berkeley married
GE>1240 to Isabel daughter of Maurice of Credonia by Isabel sister of
GE>William de Valence.
GE>I have an Isabella de Lusigan (sister of WIlliam de Valence) maried
GE>to Maurice of Craon, but no information about their children. Can any
GE>one verify that there was a daughter Isabella who maried Maurice de
GE>Berkeley?

In Ancestral Roots (albeit my dated 5th edition), Weis says that the
Isabel that married Maurice de Berkeley is the daughter of Richard
FitzRoy (illegitimate son of King John) and Rohese de Dover.
