From Old Pembroke Families in the Ancient County Palatine of Pembroke:

p. 72, "Nesta, wife of Roger Corbet, and one of the co-heiresses of Robert de Vale, of lands at Castell Loyth (Wolf's Castle) and Rinaston. [Baronia, p. 73]

pp. 93-94, Sir Robert (de Vale) was married twice, first to Avelina de Wideworth, [Arch. Camb., II, v.39] and then to Margaret, who survived him. He left four daughters, and his estate was divided into four portions, as appears from the charter in 1303 of Geoffrey Hascard as to a rent of Johnston, which had been granted to him by David de la Roche, which calls upon the heirs of Robert de Vale to warrent. [Owen's Pembrokeshire, i, 184] The heirs were: Gilbert de la Roche (of Llangum), the husband of one of the daughters and father to David; John Wogan, who married Margaret, daughter of Sir Robert (one source says she was the daughter of Roger Corbet and Nesta de Vale); Thomas de Rosshall, who had married Nesta, the widow of Roger Corbet; Llywelyn ap Owen, who married Elen de Vale; and John de Sutton, who was a husband or son of another daughter. [Close Rolls, 27 Edw.I, m.20]

Roger Corbet was of Chaddesley in Worcestershire; his widow, Nesta, married Thomas of Rosshall, [Eyton Shropshire, x. p 90] in Shropshire, who had merely a life interest, as we find the Cobets holding de Vale property in the country for some generations.

Nesta married Sir Roger Corbet Knight, son of William Corbet and Ada.¹⁴⁹⁴ (Sir Roger Corbet Knight was born in Chaddesley Corbet, Worcestershire, England and died before 7 Jun 1290 in Chaddesley Corbet, Worcestershire, England.)
