I've today got and had a quick look at an early copy of Mark S. Hagger, The Fortunes of a Norman Family: The Verduns in England, Ireland and Wales 1066-1316 (2001), which I haven't seen noted here.

Hagger confirms unproblematically, though with modest (and for us perhaps significant) caution so far as any claims might be made as to its wider genealogical significance:

Nicholas de Verdun's bride, Clementia, appears to be a member of the Butler [sic] family - although not necessarily a representative of the senior line - and the same is true of his daughter's husband, Roesia marrying Theobald II Butler in 1225 at the express wish of the king [CRR, vol. 17, no. 1462; Hagger p. 218].

Clemence married Sir Nicholas de Verdon Knight, son of Beltram de Verdon and Maud de Ferrers.¹⁹³ (Sir Nicholas de Verdon Knight was born about 122 in Alton, Staffordshire, England ¹⁴¹ and died on 28 Jun 1271 in Ireland ⁷²².)
