Joyce married John de Botetourt, the son of Thomas de Botetourte and Joan de Somery. They were married on or before 31 May 1347. John and Joyce had a son John who died in 1369 and a daughter Joyce de Botetourt who married Baldwin Freville. Other children are said to have been Alice who married John Kyriel, Katherine who married Maurice de Berkeley and Elizabeth who died young.
For someone with such a rich family history, there is little information. Her parentage was debated for years between Alan and William and her death is uncertain. Joyce lived at Ashby LaZouche Castle in Leicestershire, where the Hastings tower and its ninety eight steps remain, as well as a secret tunnel from the kitchens to the tower.
