Hugh Bigod died in 1225. One of Maud's first acts as a widow was to transfer some Bigod lands to her son Roger.[3]

Together they had two children:
- Isabella de Warenne (c. 1228 – before 20 September 1282), married Hugh d'Aubigny, 5th Earl of Arundel.[12] She was widowed aged about 17 and the couple had no children. She became a religious patron and in 1249 she founded Marham Abbey in Norfolk on part of her land.[12]
- John de Warenne, 6th Earl of Surrey (August 1231 – c. 29 September 1304), in 1247 married Alice de Lusignan, a half-sister of King Henry III of England,[13] by whom he had three children.
Maud's second husband died in 1240 and she became a wealthy double dowager,[14] with dower rights accrued from both of her marriages.[8]
Her youngest son John succeeded his father as the 6th Earl of Surrey, but as he was a minor, Peter of Savoy, uncle of Queen consort Eleanor of Provence, was guardian of his estates.
