Books that name the mother of Sir Roger of Clarendon default to one secondary source author's conjecture, or they cite no source at all. That author was George-Frederick Beltz. Beltz referred to two primary sources from which he conjectured that Edith de Willesford was the mother of Sir Roger. From his 1841 book titled Memorials of the Order of the Garter, from Its Foundation to the Present Time, etc., Beltz wrote on page 17, footnote. 1:–
“Register “Sudbury,” fo. 90, in the archiep. regy at Lambeth. It is also printed in Nichols’ Royal Wills, p. 66. It contains, among other bequests, one of a silk bed to SIR ROGER DE CLARENDON. This person was Edward’s natural son by, as it is supposed, Edith de Willesford, of whom mention is made in Rot, Pat. 8 Ric. 2, p. 2 m. 13.”
