The Complete Peerage (11:605) gives her name as Maud, noting that Nichols cites a copy of a manuscript genealogy of the founders of Chaucombe Priory which states that she was Maud Lucy. Jewell states that Maud was probably a member of the Lucy family. Douglas Richardson, in a post to soc.genealogy.medieval, gave evidence that suggested that Maud was a daughter of Geoffrey de Lucy and Nichole de Cantelowe.
