Maud de Ufford de Vere, Countess of Oxford
Daughter and heiress of Ralph de Ufford, Chief Justice of Ireland and Maud, daughter of Henry of Lancaster, the grandson of King Henry III. Maud was born in Ireland about 1345 or 1346. After her father, an incompetent Justiciar, died in 1346, her mother fled with Maud to England, where her mother became the canoness at the Augustine Abbey of Campsey in Suffolk.
Maud was the wife of Sir Thomas de Vere, son of Sir John de Vere and Maud de Badlesmere. They were married before 10 June 1350, while Maud was still a child, and had one son, Sir Robert, the 9th Earl of Oxford.
Sir Thomas died in 1371, buried at Earl's Colne, where his cenotaph remains, leaving Maud well off, holding most the ancestral de Vere estates and an annual income of a staggering £662, and described as a wasteful and negligent landowner. Her brother-in-law, Sir Aubrey de Vere would instigate legal litigations against her regarding the de Vere properties.
Maud's son, Robert, rejected his wife, Philippa, in favor of another woman, Agnes, Lady in Waiting or the Queen Anne of Bohemia. Maud took Philippa's side, saying Philippa was more dear to her than if she had been her own daughter, and cursed Robert for his actions. Above that, when Robert was exiled to Brabant by King Richard, Maud visited her son with permission from the king, finally receiving a pardon for these actions 10 May 1391. Maud also received a grant from King Richard on 16 November 1389 fr the farming of all the lands own b her husband for twenty years. This grant was cancelled when her son died in 1392, and Aubrey succeeded as Earl of Oxford.
Maud took part in the conspiracy with the abbotts of Beeleigh, Colchester and St Osyth against King Henry IV, the plan to reinstate King Richard who was supposedly still alive. Maud was arrested and was imprisoned in the Tower of London May 1404, but pardoned because of the efforts by the Queen, Joanna of Navarre on 16 Nov 1404.
Maud died testate at Great Bentley 25 Jan 1413, and buried at Bruisyard.
