Life History

Notes

• Ankaret Le Strange remained the Baroness of Blackmere during her first marriage to Richard Lord Talbot of Goodrich (spelled Goderich in that time, and Godric in the earliest form) Lord Talbot.  Lord Talbot was the custodian of the Le Strange Castle of Blackmere as well as his Goderich Castle.
  
  At her death she passed the Blackmere title to her second husband Thomas 6th Lord Furnival Neville.  At her death Thomas Neville became Lord Strange of Blackmere.  Thus the Blackmere title and lands passed from the Le Strange family into the Neville family.
  
  The date of marriage is a bit uncertain.  Two sources, connected with the Le Strange family line, report the marriage to Richard Talbot was on or before 23 August 1383.  Other sources, Tudorplace and Worldroots, have seemed credible and careful.  However, with a birth date for Ankaret of about 1350, the marriage date in 1383 would mean that Ankaret did not marry until she was 33.  This is highly unusual for that period.
  
  The date of 1383, However, is also attractive because it is one year before the birth of the Talbots' first child John.  This also seems expected.
