"Ermentrude" specifically says she was "confirmed by Harl. MS. 807 in
the conclusion" that Margaret Neville, wife of William Lucy, was the
daughter of Sir John Neville, by his wife, Elizabeth Holand.  That's a
rather definite statement.   Moreover, as you know, I've found
additional evidence which proved that Sir John Neville had a daughter,
Margaret, which evidence Ermentrude never saw.   Thus, I concur with
Ermentrude's conclusion.

In any event, Earl Edmund Mortimer would hardly have settled so much
property on his kinswoman, Margaret Neville, and her husband, Sir
William Lucy, unless she was closely related to him.   As far as I
know, this is the only Margaret Neville who is available and the right
age to fit into that category.  Also, I get the distinct impression
that the grants by Earl Edmund in favor of William Lucy and Margaret
Neville were considered a marriage settlement of sorts for Margaret
Neville.  Both of Margaret Neville's parents were deceased in 1423.
