In answer to your question, the wife of John Tuchet, Knt., 4th Lord Audley, was Elizabeth Stafford, a hitherto unidentified daughter of Humphrey Stafford, Knt., of Amblecote, Bramshall, and Perton, co. Stafford, by his lst wife, Alice, daughter and heiress of John Grenville, Knt. Elizabeth Stafford has Carolingian ancestry through her paternal grandmother, Margaret (Stafford) Stafford, who was a daughter of Ralph Stafford, lst Earl of Stafford, by his lst wife, Katherine Hastang.

Complete Peerage sub Audley states that John Tuchet's wife's given was Isabel, but the records I have found of this woman all call her Elizabeth. This includes her assignment of dower and her inquisition post mortem. Exactly why the editor picked the name Isabel is a complete mystery to me.

Below please find a record of John Tuchet, Knt., and his wife, Elizabeth Stafford, which is taken from my book, Plantagenet Ancestry, 3rd edition.

Best always, Douglas Richardson, Salt Lake City, Utah

I. JOHN TUCHET, Knt., of Ashwell, Markeaton, Leegomery, etc., and Buglawton and Newhall, co. Chester, Keeper of Llandovery Castle, Keeper of Brecknock Castle, son and heir, born 23 Apr. 1371. He was co-heir in 1391 to his great-uncle, Nicholas Audley, 3rd Lord Audley, by which he inherited a 1/3 share in the Audley barony, including the Castle and lordship of Heleigh, co. Stafford, and the Castle and lordship of Newport (in Camois), co. Pembroke. He married before 1398 ELIZABETH STAFFORD, daughter of Humphrey Stafford, Knt., of Amblecote, Bramshall, and Perton, co. Stafford, by his 1st wife, Alice, daughter and heiress of John Grenville, Knt., of Southwick. They had three children, James [5th Lord Audley], Margaret (wife of John Luttrell), and Elizabeth (wife of John Baskerville, Knt., of Eardisley, co. Hereford). He was in the Welsh wars against Owen Glendower. He was summoned to Parliament on 20 Oct. 1403 by writ directed Johanni Tochet, and from 25 Aug. 1404 to 26 Aug. 1407 by writs directed Johanni Tuchet. He was frequently styled Lord Audley in official documents, although never summoned to Parliament as such. JOHN TUCHET, 4th Lord Audley, died 19 Dec. 1408. In 1409 the King requested that his widow's brother, Humphrey Stafford the younger, deliver her son and heir to his custody. In 1436 Thomas Stawell sued Elizabeth, late the wife of John Tuchet, Knt., her son, James Tuchet, Knt., her brother, John Stafford, Bishop of Bath and Wells, and William Lee for the manors of Nether Stowey, Honeybare, etc., Somerset. She died 1446-7 (date of her Inq.p.m.).
