Isabel (de Westwick) de Plumpton

Father: Serlo de Westwic

Married: Robert de Plumpton

Children:

In her widowhood, Isabel appointed "Serlo de Plumpton" as her attorney in a land dispute (Calendar of the Close Rolls Henry III 1234-1237 p378), and it seem likely, considering her father's name, that Serlo was another son.
