--
Heiress of Dorston and Tiberton, Herefordshire

Alice Talbot, the third daughter of Richard, 4th Lord Talbot, and Ankaret, Lady Strange of Blakemere, is a key gateway for the Herefordshire gentry to a descent from Edward I. She was born 1389/93, and was a younger sister of John Talbot, the 1st Earl of Shrewsbury. In 1412, her widowed mother arranged her marriage to Sir Thomas Barre, 'Junior', the son and heir of Sir Thomas Barre, 'Senior', of Rotherwas (in Dinedor) and Clehonger, Herefordshire, by his wife Elizabeth Croyser.
By Sir Thomas Barre, Alice had a son and three daughters, before her husband died, probably fighting in France, in the late summer or autumn of 1420. He predeceased his father, Sir Thomas Barre 'Senior', who died in December 1420.
Alice married secondly, Richard de la Mere, sheriff of Herefordshire 1422-3, whose parentage I've not been able to determine. He was not the Richard de la Mere, MP, whose bio is in Roskell's HOP. Instead, he was likely of the family of Sir Peter de la Mere, Speaker of the House of Commons under Richard II, as they were based in Herefordshire. By him she had another son and two more daughters (who apparently died unmarried), and died in 1436.
