Joyce Baroness De Botetourte 
Joyce Baroness De was born about 1364 in Weobley Castle, Worcestershire, England.1 Joyce Baroness De's father was John Botetourte and her mother was Maud (Matilda) Grey. Her maternal grandparents were John 1St Baron De Grey and Avice Marmion. She had two half-brothers named John and Thomas. She was buried in Hales Abbey, Halesowen, Shropshire, England.2 General Notes
Name Suffix:<NSFX> & Zouche
Joyce de Botetourt, de jure Baroness Botetourt, also de jure Baroness Zouche (of Richard's Castle, Mortimer, or Ashby) according to the same later doctrine unless Robert Zouche/Rammesfold's pedigree is to be preferred (Robert was great grandson of Alan la Zouche & Eleanor), in which case he would have had a better claim to the Barony of Zouche (of Richard's Castle, etc.) from 11 July 1399; m. by 21 April 1386, as his 2nd wife, 2nd Lord (Baron) Burnell (m. 3rd and dspms 27 Nov 1420) and dsp 1 Jan 1406/7, when such Barony of Zouche (of Richard's Castle, Mortimer, or Ashby) as may have been created by the 1323 writ of summons became abeyant between her father's five sisters. [Burke's Peerage]
-----------------------
He [Hugh Burnell] married, 2ndly, in 1386, before 21 April, Joyce, according to modern doctrine, suo jure BARONESS BOTETOURT and BARONESS ZOUCHE [of Mortimer] &c. (See that title). She died s.p., 1 January 1406/7, and was buried at Hales Abbey, Salop. [Complete Peerage]
Note: Joyce was never recognized by contemporaries as a Baroness, although I think that she was a very wealthy heiress.
