Edward demonstrated his good will toward Margaret again on 1 July 1324, by giving her "permission to go to her friends within the realm whither she will, provided that she be always ready to come to the king when summoned".<ref>Calendar of Close Rolls (Edward II, 1323–1327), pp.46, 48, 120, 236</ref> It appears that after then she lived at Hambleton, Rutland as it was from there that on 27 May 1325 she submitted a petition in connection with property at Chilham.<ref>{{Cite book|last=Bain|first = Joseph|year = 1887|title = Calendar of documents relating to Scotland preserved in Her Majesty's Public Record Office, London, Volume 3 |location= Edinburgh|publisher = HM General Register House|page=159}}</ref>
Her son Giles obtained a reversal of his father's [[attainder]] in 1328, and succeeded by writ to the barony as the 2nd Baron Badlesmere. By this time [[Edward III of England|Edward III]] had ascended the throne; however, the ''de facto'' rulers of England were Queen Isabella and her lover, Marcher Lord Roger Mortimer, 1st Earl of March (father-in-law of Margaret's daughter Elizabeth), who jointly held the Office of [[Regent]] for the new king. Edward II had been deposed in January 1327 and allegedly murdered in September by Mortimer's hired assassins.<ref>Costain, pp.236–37</ref> The regency of Queen Isabella and Lord Mortimer ended in October 1330 when Edward III, now nearly 18, had Mortimer hanged as a traitor and Queen Isabella exiled for the remaining 28 years of her life at Castle Rising in Norfolk.
Margaret died between 22 October 1333<ref>Calendar of Close Rolls (Edward III, 1333–1337), p.145.</ref> and 3 January 1333/4.<ref>Calendar of Close Rolls (Edward III, 1333–1337), p.165.</ref>
