Evidence

On Alice’s mother’s family:

A pedigree in Harl. MS. 6128 fo. 25b gives Henry Folliolde’s father as “Johannes Folliolde, son of Richard Folliolde, 1 Edw. II., son of Rogerus de Folliold.

There was a Fillilode family living in Alveley, Shropshire, in the period, with a connection to Astley which the Harl. 6128 pedigree also has, with some differences, but I haven’t found any more specific corroboration. 

Here is an IPM from the family:

from the Inquisition post mortem of Denise de Astley (CIPM v. 15, Richard II, no. 300):
