Below are very brief summaries of the corrections and additions. Click on the links for more discussion, including details of contributors.

OGLE

Volume 10, pages 34, 35, and notes k, l and c:
Robert (Ogle), Lord Ogle (d. 1544/5):

[According to a visitation pedigree, his second wife was Margaret, the daughter of Edward Ratcliff. This disagrees with the statement in the text - apparently based on a contemporary document - that she was Jane, daughter of Sir Cuthbert Radcliffe. (PROPOSED)]

ORMOND or ORMONDE

Volume 10, page 121 (as modified by volume 14):
James (le Botiller), Earl of Ormond (d. 1382):

[Confirmation that the mother of his wife, Elizabeth, was Joan, the second wife of Sir John Darcy [Lord Darcy]. (PROPOSED)]

Volume 10, pages 128, 129 (as modified by volume 14):
James (le Botiller, otherwise Ormond), Earl of Wiltshire and Ormond (d. 1461):

[His second wife, Eleanor, may not have been the eldest daughter of Edmund (Beaufort), Duke of Somerset, as stated. (PROPOSED)]

Aubrey de Vere (d. 1194):

Evidence suggests that he was made an earl between 25 July and 1 August 1141.

Volume 10, pages 205, 206 and notes c and d:
Aubrey de Vere III, Earl of Oxford (d. 1194):

[Keats-Rohan suggests that Robert de Essex, the grandfather of Aubrey's third wife Agnes, was the father of the Robert de Essex who married Aubrey's sister, rather than being the same man. Agnes's mother, Cicely, may have been a daughter of Roger de Valognes by his wife Agnes, sister of Payn fitz John. (PROPOSED)]

Volume 10, page 210 and note d:
Aubrey (de Vere), Earl of Oxford (d. 1214):

[Further evidence arguing against his second wife, Alice, being a daughter of Roger (Bigod), 2nd Earl of Norfolk. (PROPOSED)]

Volume 10, page 402:
William (Herbert), Earl of Pembroke [d. 1491]:

Henry de Percy (d. 1314):

Evidence supports the identification of his wife, Eleanor, as a daughter of Richard, earl of Arundel (d. 1301/2), and suggests that they married in 1300. The statement concerning his marriage in 1294 may imply that he had an earlier wife. (PROPOSED)]

Volume 10, pages 461, 462 (as corrected in volume 14):
Henry, Lord Percy (d.1351/2):

Maud, the mother of his wife, Idoine, was the daughter of Thomas de Clare, lord of Thomond (a younger son of Richard de Clare, Earl of Gloucester and Hertford, d. 1262), by Julian, daughter and heir of Sir Maurice Fitz Maurice.

Robert (de Poynings), Lord Poynings (d. 1446):

[His wife in 1416 and 1423 was called Eleanor, and was pregnant in 1416. The date given for his first marriage, to Elizabeth Grey, conflicts with a later grant of his marriage. (PROPOSED)]

Volume 10, pages 664, 665, and page 665, note e (as modified by volume 14):
Sir Richard de Poynings (d. 1429) and his daughter Eleanor:

[Keats-Rohan suggests that her husband, Robert de Essex, may have been a son of Robert de Essex, the grandfather of Aubrey's third wife Agnes, rather than being the same man. A Gunnor de Essex who has previously been viewed as either a husband or a daughter of the latter Robert, may instead have been his granddaughter - a daughter of his son Henry de Essex. (PROPOSED)]
