. "A kind soul has faxed me the pertinent pages of the Cirencester Cartulary. . .
. . . . This Henry definitely married Isolde, but she might be a second wife, rather than mother of his heir. I know of no specific evidence or rationale to claim that this Henry, who was seated at Kidderminster, Worcester, married a Yorkshire girl. No Yorkshire lands are evidenced in this branch of the family or their descendants."
