Maud Mortimer
Maud Mortimer (married Maud Charlton , also Cherleton ) (* around 1307, † after August 1345) was an English noblewoman.
Maud Mortimer came from the Anglo-Norman Mortimer family . She was probably the second eldest daughter of Roger Mortimer of Wigmore and his wife Joan de Geneville . The first of Mortimer's numerous daughters, she was married to John Charlton , eldest son of John Charlton, 1st Baron Charlton , Lord of Powis , before April 13, 1319 . Her father had to surrender in January 1322 after a failed rebellion against King Edward II . Unlike her unmarried siblings, Maud was not arrested afterwards, although her father-in-law had also been a rebel. In 1322 her father-in-law was pardoned by the king.
With her husband, Maud had at least one son:
- John Cherleton, 3rd Baron Cherleton (around 1334–1374)
