According to Complete Peerage (vol.3, p.275), the paternal grandmother of
James Audley's mother, Eve de Clavering, was one Margery de la Zouche.
Margery's parents are not identified there, but chronologically it seems
possible that she was a daughter of the Sir Alan la Zouche who married
Ellen, the daughter of Roger de Quency. Another of Roger de Quency's
daughters, Margaret, married William de Ferrers, and was an ancestress of
Sir Ralph de Ferrers.

I'm not sure whether this is significant or not, but there are a couple of
other points of contact between the Zouches and the families of the kinsmen
of James Audley:

(1) Eon la Zouche, brother of the Alan la Zouche who married Ellen de
Quency, was granted the marriage of Agatha, daughter of William de Ferrers,
in 1253/4. He transferred this marriage to Hugh de Mortimer of Chelmarsh,
who married Agatha before 1258 [Complete Peerage, vol.12, part 2, p.937].

(2) Eon's son, William la Zouche, was 5 April 1323 granted the marriage of
John de Willoughby (the father of the John de Willoughby who fought with
James Audley at Poitiers) - that was less than 3 months before John's
marriage to Joan Roscelyn [Complete Peerage, vol.12, part 2, p.658].
