Research notes

✓ DOCUMENTED. ⚠ ROTHERFIELD, NOT GROBY: this is the Oxfordshire barony of Grey of Rotherfield (cr. 1338, ext. 1387) - it does NOT carry the Ferrers-of-Groby / Elizabeth de Clare blood; never conflate the two Grey houses. Her father left as a documented floor (a baronial door for a later pass). Source: Visitation of Warwickshire, 'Raleigh' pedigree pp.76-78 (page images supplied by Aynsley 8 Aug 2026). Added 8 Aug 2026. ||FATHER RESOLVED AND WIRED (24 Aug 2026, CP1 GREY DE ROTHERFIELD pp.103-04, supplied by Aynsley)|| CP reduces the two candidate Johns to ONE: the 1st Baron was born c.1300 (chronologically impossible here), so the visitation's 'John Lo. Gray of Rotherfeld' = his father SIR JOHN DE GREY of Rotherfield (d.1313, quasi-summons 1296/7) by MARGARET DE ODINGSELLS of Maxstoke, co. Warwick - whose Warwickshire coheirship explains the Raleigh match. Father wired (I100691); Joane's attachment graded ~ (visitation naming + CP chronological elimination), the couple themselves ✓ CP. Same resolution pattern as Jane Foliot.
