(g) Maud, wife of Geoffrey de Say, left a will, probated 1369, in which she desired to be buried at the Black Friars, London "near Edmund, my beloved husband". According to Stow, Maude, wife to Geoffrey de Say, daughter to the Earl of Warwick, was buried in the church of the Black Friars, but no clue to the identity of "Edmund" has been found. She was executor of her husband's will, and in 1368 had a grant for life for long service to the King, Queen Philippe, and Isabel, the King's daughter, of 100 marks yearly.
