On 6 June 1333, Maud's husband was murdered by Sir Richard de Mandeville, John de Logan and others at Le Ford, near the modern Belfast. After his murder, which sparked a civil war in Ireland, Maud fled to England with her infant daughter, who was the Countess of Ulster, and they lived at the court of King Edward III with the royal family. She married her second husband, Sir Ralph de Ufford, by 8 August 1343. Sir Ralph was the youngest son of Robert de Ufford, Lord Ufford, and Cecily de Valognes. In 1344, he was appointed Justiciar of Ireland, therefore Maud accompanied him in July of that year to Ireland, where she had another daughter, Maud de Ufford. Maud left Elizabeth behind at the royal court as the latter had been married in 1342 at the age of ten, to Lionel of Antwerp, Duke of Clarence, the second son of King Edward III. Her second daughter Maud would marry Thomas de Vere, 8th Earl of Oxford, by whom she had a son, Robert de Vere, 9th Earl of Oxford, Marquess of Dublin, Duke of Ireland.
Maud's husband was an incompetent Justiciar, thoroughly despised by the Irish; under his badly-managed administration, the civil war that was waged between the Desmond and de Burgh families was at its height. He was summoned before Parliament to answer for his misdeeds, and for the incessant quarrels and skirmishes permitted under his government between the Anglo-Norman noblemen.
