Research notes
✓ named as William's wife (web-confirmed 7 Aug 2026); floor. Added 7 Aug 2026 (cheap-win audit wave 2): documented rung previously left as a floor. Direct-ancestor line only. ||PARENTAGE CANDIDATE + DE CLARE TEST CLOSED (9 Aug 2026)|| Online pedigrees give Margaret's parents as WILLIAM KENE x ANNE CHICHELE - the Chicheles being the family of Archbishop Henry Chichele, founder of All Souls (London merchant stock, Lord Mayor Robert Chichele's kin). TREE-GRADE only, so NOT wired - a Visitation or Richardson citation would be needed to harden it. But for the Elizabeth-de-Clare hunt the direction is clear: no Grey, no Ferrers - the LAST open residue of that hunt is CLOSED NEGATIVE. Nichols Leics IV (Sparkenhoe/Elmesthorpe) remains the place to harden her parentage if ever wanted.
