Catherine was a brilliant and powerful political thinker; she understood right off that the Guises were a threat to her and to her son.

It appears that a prominant Norman family of de Mareis/ de Marisco (whoses descendants adopted the surname Marsh, Marris, Maris, and Morris, and possibly March, and Mark) were among the early recorded Marshes in England.
One source seems to hint that one family of de Marisco/ Marsh was living in Yorshire before 1066, almost certainly a different family from the Norman de Mariscos.
However, the Norman de Marisco (de Merc) family, said to have been at the Battle of Hasitngs with William the Conqueror in 1066, was definitely in Hampshire, Dorset, Lundy, Northhamptonshire, and Somerset very early on, and appears to have spread from there to Essex, Ireland, and Lincolnshire, before spreading out further.

The purpose in attempting to construct a family tree for the early Norman de Mariscos, is to see if there are any particular areas where their descendants might be found today.
If the contending families were tested, and compared to descendants of the de Mariscos, it might show only one or two as possible, and perhaps only one as likely.
Perhaps the family was not represented in 1066 by a single person, but perhaps a group of brothers or cousins from the same de Marisco/ de Marck family were involved.
