• Background Information. ¹⁴¹
Maud was the sister and (in 1227) heir of William de Mandeville, Earl of Essex, and daughter of Geoffrey Fitz Piers, Earl of Essex, by his 1st wife, Beatrice, eldest daughter and coheir of William de Say, of Kimbolton, Hunts, and Saham, Norfolk. She married Henry de Bohn who died 1 June 1220, and was buried in the chapter house of Llanthony Priory outside Gloucester.

Maud was dowered in the manor of Wokeseie [Oaksey, Wilts] until Humphrey, son and heir of the Earl, should have assigned a dower. She had the manor of Witehurst (Wheatenhurst, co. Gloucester), which the King had delivered to her, it having been given by Geoffrey Fitz Piers, father of the said Countess, to Henry, Earl of Hereford, for the marriage of his said daughter. She married, 2^nd, Roger de Dauntsey, of Dauntsey, Wiltshire. On the death of her brother, the said William (de Mandeville), Earl of Essex (8 January 1226/7), she appears to have become suo jure Countess. She and Roger de Daunteseye, her second husband, had livery of her inheritance 29 October 1227 and 22 February 1227/8, and thus Pleshey Castle in Essex and another great estate, together with the Earldom of Essex, came to the de Bohuns. On 24 April 1233 (a divorce having been pronounced in court Christian in ecclesiastical form, between Roger de Daunteseye and Maud, Countess of Hereford, late his wife), she had livery of her inheritance then in the hands of the said Roger, but after revocation of the sentence of divorce the said Roger had livery of her lands in July 1236. She died 27 August 1236: he was living in August 1238.
