• Background Information. 141
Edmund's 2nd wife, whom he married circa 1285, was Margaret, daughter of Sir William de Fienes, the 2nd cousin of Eleanor of Castile, Queen of Edward I, by Blanche de Brienne. Edmund died on 17 Jul 1304, and he was buried at Wigmore. Dower was assigned to his widow 25 Sep1304. The castle of Radnor was restored to her, as her dower, after seizure upon her son's forfeiture. Her presence in those parts was too great an encouragement to the contrariants to be suffered, and she was therefore lodged in various places (in Hants, in Skipton-in-Craven and Pontefract Castles, and in Elstowe nunnery) by order of the King. Her lands, which had been seized by the King in 1322, were restored in 1328. In 1330 a papal indult was issued for her. She died 7 February 1333/4 .
