Previously the Herdeburgh family was not thought to possess any royal ancestry, however, it appears that Ela de Herdeburgh does in fact descend from King Henry II through the Longespee family. Proof of the connection to the Longespee family is found in a papal petition dated 1352, whereby William de Clinton, Earl of Huntingdon, requested that his nephew, Edward le Boteler, be made canon and prebend of Lincoln. On the surface, it is difficult to explain how Edward le Boteler could be nephew to William de Clinton (a Longespee descendant). However, reviewing the Clinton and Boteler-Herdeburgh family trees, the only possible way for Edward le Boteler to be the Earl's nephew would be if Edward le Boteler's mother, Ela de Herdeburgh, was older half sister of Earl William de Clinton.

As for Ela de Herdeburgh, mother of Edward le Boteler, she can be readily identified as the daughter and co-heiress of Roger de Herdeburgh, son and heir apparent of Hugh de Herdeburgh, of Great Harborough, co. Warwick and Weston Turville, co. Buckingham. Ela's father, Roger de Herdeburgh, evidently died about 1184, as a young man. Previously, the name of Roger de Herdeburgh's wife was not known. However, it would appear that she was Ida de Odingsells,
> eldest daughter of William de Odingsells, of Maxstoke, co. Warwick. Ida subsequently married about 1290 to John de Clinton, 1st Lord Clinton, of Maxstoke. By her Clinton marriage, Ida was mother of two known sons, John de Clinton [2nd Lord Clinton] and William de Clinton [Earl of Huntingdon].

For further evidence of the Herdeburgh-Clinton-Odingsells connection, it may be noted that the names Ela and Ida ran in families descended from the Longespee family. Ela de Hereburgh herself bore the name, Ela, and she bestowed the name Ida on her second daughter.
