Biography
Parents
Ankaret le Boteler was a daughter of William le Boteler aka Butler, 1st Lord Butler of Wem, and his second wife Ela de Herdeburgh .[1][2][3][4][5][6][7] Her date and place of birth are unknown and are estimated. Her parents married between 1305 and 1310; her father holding lands in several counties, including Shropshire, Leicestershire, and Warwickshire.[6]
Marriages
Ankaret married John le Strange, 2nd Lord le Strange of Blackmere, Shropshire, before 20 May 1327.[1][2][3][8][9][10][11] John was the son of Fulk le Strange, 1st Lord Strange of Blackmere, and Eleanor Giffard.[6]
In the Inquisition Post Mortem of her father in 1334 it was recorded that John Lestraunge, lord of Whitchurch , and Ancareta his wife held Dodynton, part of the manor of Wemme, Shropshire.[12] This may have been part of Anakaret's maritagium.[6]
Her husband John le Strange died on 21 July 1349.[6] Ankaret survived him and was noted in his Inquisition Post Mortem.[13][14]
Ankaret then married Sir Thomas de Ferrers, younger son of William de Ferrers, 1st Lord Ferrers of Groby,[15][16] by his first wife Margaret[?], daughter of Sir John de Seagrave, 2nd Lord Seagrave.[6] Thomas de Ferrers aka de Ferariis died shortly before 28 July 1353.[6] His Inquisition Post Mortem noted that his heir was William de Ferariis, son of Henry de Ferariis, the brother of Thomas. It also referred to "Ankaretta la Straunge, sometime wife of the said Thomas de Ferariis".[17]
Children
Richardson noted three sons and three daughters from Ankaret's first marriage to John le Strange:
Fulk, 3rd Baron Strange of Blackmere,[1][13] born 2 February 1330/1, died 1349, married Elizabeth de Stafford and had no issue[6]
Sir John, 4th Baron Strange of Blackmere,[1][8][9] born about 19 April 1332 at Whitchurch, died 12 May 1361, married Mary de Arundel and had issue[6]
Hamon, living in 1381[6][18]
Elizabeth, wife of Edmund St John, 3rd Baron, knight, then of Gerard de Lisle [de Insula], 1st Baron, knight, and then of Richard Pembridge, knight[6][19]
Eleanor, wife of Sir Reynold de Grey of Ruthin[6][20][21]
probably Alice/Alesia, wife of Edmund de Haudlo[6][22]
and possibly:
Mathilda/Maud, wife of Gruffith Warren[23]
There were no known children from Ankaret's second marriage. Richardson states that Thomas de Ferrers left "a legitimate son, William", whose mother is unknown;[6] however, from Thomas' Inquisition Post Mortem, William appears to be his nephew, the son of his brother Henry.

The Inquisition Post Mortem of Ankaretta late the wife of John LeStraunge of Blakemere, knight, following a Writ of 10 October, 35 Edward III [1361], recorded that she held lands in the County of Southampton and in Shropshire.
