Her father Roger proposed the marriage of his eldest daughter Margaret to Maurice de Berkeley, 2nd Baron Berkeley's son and heir Thomas. From Roger's point of view, the marriage was meant to secure an earlier alliance with an important lord of the Welsh Marshes.[2] Margaret was duly married to Thomas de Berkeley in May 1319.[1] He succeeded his father as 3rd Baron Berkeley in 1326.[2] They had the following issue:
Maurice de Berkeley (born 1320, date of death unknown), who succeeded his father as Baron de Berkeley.
Thomas de Berkeley (born c. 1325, date of death unknown)
Roger de Berkeley (born 1326, date of death unknown)
Alphonsus de Berkeley (born 1327, date of death unknown)
Joan de Berkeley (born 1330 - 1369), married Sir Reginald Cobham.
Their eldest son Maurice married Elizabeth le Despenser, despite the fact that it had been his grandfather Roger Mortimer that was namely responsible for the execution of Elizabeth's father Hugh le Despenser in 1326.
