Other possibilities exist. CP, in its article on Hugh de Lacy, states that he had no issue by his 2nd wife, but does not say that about his 1st wife (leaving open the possibility/probability of issue by his 1st marriage). In CP's article on Roger de Quincy, CP states that Helen is a daughter by Alan's 1st wife, without indicating anything about her identity. Buried: Abbey of Dundren, Kirkcudbright, Scotland [Ref: Robert C. Bradley http://www.bradleygenealogy.info/nindex.htm#sx] Dundrennan [Ref: "Peerage of Scotland" by John Philip Wood, Edinburgh, 1813, v 1, pp. 612-13] "Alan, Lord of Galloway, died 1233, buried at Dundrennan. By his first wife, whose name is not known, he had a daughter Helen, married to Roger de Quincy [d. 28 April 1264]. . . He married secondly at Dundee in 1209 Margaret, eldest daughter of David, Earl of Huntingdon, brother of Malcolm IV and William the Lion, by whom he had two daughters: 1. Dervegulde. 2. Christian, died without issue 1246. He married thirdly in 1228 a daughter of Hugh de Lacy, without issue." [Ref: "Peerage of Scotland" by John Philip Wood, Edinburgh, 1813, v 1, pp. 612-13] Alan married a sister of John de Lacy, Constable of Chester and future Earl of Lincoln, Margaret, daughter of Earl David of Huntingdon, and Rose, daughter of Hugh de Lacy, Earl of Ulster. [Ref: "Essays of the Nobility of Medieval Scotland" K.J. Stringer ed., Edinburgh, 1985, p 49] He married NN FitzRichard the daughter of John FitzRichard and Alice de Vere. [Ref: Dave UTZ@aol.com Research note: Stringer indicates she was the sister & Weis indicates daughter of John de Lacy. Is this a disagreement about identity of her father or did the 1st John de Lacy also have a son John?... Curt p. 59 "Alan held lands in Lothian, Cumbria (from where he imported tenants), Yorkshire, and the English east midlands; he also gained a title to large areas of eastern Ulster from King John, who was almost as much his lord as was William the Lion." p. 104: "Galloway . . . lost its regal status only slowly. Its ruler, Fergus, who died in 1161, was frequently called princeps, and once rex; he may, like Alexander I, have married an illegitimate daughter of Henry I. His successors abandoned the royal styles while retaining some regal attributes. . . .Alan son of Roland had an ease of manoeuvre and a range of contacts on either side of the Solway and the Irish Sea that marked him out as more than a baron of the king of Scots. It was only Alexander II's intervention upon his death in 1234, to exclude his bastard son and partition his lands between his daughters, that put a final end to Galloway's royal status; even then its identity survived in a distinctive law-code, whose tolerance of blood feud was offensive in the eyes of a conventional monarchy." [Ref: Political Development of the British Isles 1100-1400, by Robin Frame, Oxford, 1990] Below is from Douglas Richardson ALAN FITZ ROLAND, lord of Galloway, hereditary Constable of Scotland, born in or before 1175 (adult by 1196). He married possibly in 1200 _____ OF CHESTER (descendant of Charlemagne), daughter of John [Fitz Richard] of Chester (died 1190), hereditary Constable of Chester, Baron of Pontefract, co. York, by Alice, daughter of Roger Fitz Richard, of Warkworth, co. Northumberland. She had as her maritagium the manor of Kippax, co. Yorkshire [see note below]. They had two daughters, Ellen and _____ (died 1213 in England - see below). He married (2nd) in 1209 MARGARET OF HUNTINGDON (descendant of Charlemagne), daughter of David of Scotland, 3rd Earl of Huntingdon (6th and youngest son of Malcolm III, King of Scotland), by Maud, daughter of Hugh, 6th Earl of Chester. (Note: in a l14 Sep 2002 correction message Douglas Richardson stated: I incorrectly stated that Alan Fitz Roland's father-in-law, David, Earl of Huntingdon, was the son of King Malcolm III of Scotland. Earl David was actually King Malcolm's great-grandson.) Her maritagium probably included lands in Harringworth, co. Northampton. They had two daughters, Devorguille and Christian (wife of William de Forz, Count of Aumale). In 1212 King John requested him to send 1,000 of his best and most active Galwegians to Chester for his expedition against the Welsh. The following year King John granted him an enormous tract of land in Antrim and Derry consisting of 140 knights' fees. He was one of 16 laymen by whose counsel King John claimed to have granted Magna Carta. He married (3rd) in 1229 ROHESE (or ROSE) DE LACY, daughter of Hugh de Lacy, Earl of Ulster, by his lst wife, Lesceline, daughter of Bertram de Verdun, seneschal of Ireland. By one of his wives, he evidently had a son, Thomas, who died without issue before 1234. He also had an illegitimate son, Thomas (living 1296). In 1229 he was summoned to go abroad with King Henry III. ALAN FITZ ROLAND died in 1234, and was buried at Dundrennan Abbey in Galloway. In 1236 his widow's father, Hugh de Lacy, created an insurrection in Galloway at the succession of Alan's estates. She was living in 1237. [Note: The identity of Alan Fitz Roland';s first wife is proven by a suit dated 1214 regarding Kippax, co. York, in which Alan is stated to have married a sister of Richard [recte Roger], father of John [de Lacy] [constable] of Chester. The year previously in 1213, an unnamed daughter of Alan died as a hostage in the custody of Robert Fitz Roger, of Warkworth, co. Northumberland. It was customary in this period to place foreign born hostages with a near relative in England. Robert Fitz Roger in question was the maternal uncle of Alan of Galloway's first wife, and thus would have been closely related to Alan's child]. References: K. J.

[Burke's Peerage] ----------------------------- William Fitz Osbern, a Companion of William the Conqueror at the Battle of Hastings, 1066, Earl of Hereford. [Ancestral Roots] ------------------------------ EARLDOM OF HEREFORD (I) 1067 WILLIAM FITZOSBERN, SEIGNEUR DE BRETEUIL, son and heir of Osbern, steward of Normandy, by Emma, daughter of Ralph, COUNT OF IVRY (g), took a leading part in the events leading up to and in the Battle of Hastings. He was thereafter rewarded with great estates in England, namely, the Isle of Wight arid the County of Hereford, becoming EARL OF HEREFORD. He divided Herefordshire into casteleries, and attracted many knights to his service by liberal pay, even making a special law that none should pay for any offence more than 7 shillings. He was in command of the army during William's absence in 1067, and his representative in the north. In 1068 he was in Normandy with the Duke, and in 1068/9 was governor of York. To him (in 1070) is credited the searching of the monastefies in England for treasure deposited there. In 1070, or early in 1071, he was sent to Normandy to assist Queen Maud in the administration of the Duchy, and so became involved in the troubles in Flanders, where the Queen was supporting her nephew Arnolf's succession to his grandfather, Baldwin, Count of Flanders. The Earl joined Philip of France with 10 knights only and went off to Flanders, where he was killed, 18 February 1070/1. He married, 1stly, Adelise, daughter of Roger DE TONI, standard-bearer of Normandy. She died 5 October 1070? and was burried in the Abbey of Lire, which her husband had founded. He married, 2ndly shortly before his death, Richilde, widow of Baldwin (VI), COUNT OF FLANDERS, and previously, as is stated, of Herman, COUNT OF HAINAULT, daughter and heir of the Count of Egisheim [Alsace]. The Earl died as aforesaid in 1071, and was buried in the Abbey of Cormeilles, which he had also founded. His widow appears to have died 15 March 1086/7. She was buried with her 2nd husband in the Abbey of Hasnon, which they had founded. [Complete Peerage VI:447-9, XIV:380, (transcribed by Dave Utzinger)] (g) Ralph, Count of Ivry, was (on the mother's side) brother of the half blood to Duke Richard I. ------------------------------ The following additional information on William FitzOsbern was provided in a post-em by Curt Hofemann: Companion of William the Conqueror at the Battle of Hastings [Ref: Weis AR7 53:25] in command of the van of the Norman army at Hastings [Ref: Watney p400] Fitzosbern, William, earl of Hereford (d. 1071). Norman lord. Closely associated, as lord of Breteuil, with William I in Normandy, he was granted earldom of Hereford (1067) after the Norman conquest. He extended Norman influence westwards and built strong castles at Wigmore, Clifford, Ewyas Harold, Monmouth and Chepstow. The Hereford charter, the model for numerous charters granted to Welsh boroughs, was based on that of Breteuil. [Ref: Dict of Brit History, pg 139] FitzOsbern, Earl William. Also Earl of Hereford. Son of Osbern Sieward of Normandy; brother of Osbern, Bishop of Exeter. Married Adeline, sister of Ralph de Tosny. Large estates in west and Isle of Wight, broken up when his son, Roger, rebelled.

| 176 | Alicia, daughter of William de Conigburg; feudal Lord of Stapilgorton. [Burke's Peerage] | De Cunigburg, Alicia (I71330)
|
| 177 | Alix/Alice was betrothed to Richard I "The Lion-hearted", but never married to him, as he married another during the crusades. She was taken to England at an early age, and kept there until well into her twenties, having had an affair with Richard's brother, King John, during this period. Turton has Alix as daughter of Constance of Castile (as it turns out correctly), while AR has her as daughter of Alix of Champagne. Douglas Richardson has discovered several contemporary documents that Alice was actually born in 1160, and a daughter of Constance of Castile, who died in childbirth, having Alice. This would make her not just 9 years, but 19 years older than her husband, but Douglas also states that her husband was born earlier than most thought, and there was only 11 years difference. Maybe so, after all, there is something to be said for marrying the daughter of the King, even if older than oneself. Many genealogists thought that Alix, the daughter of Constance of Castile, died at child birth (along with her mother) or soon after. Douglas's evidence seems pretty conclusive, and involved a lot of rancorous debate on soc.genealogy.medieval, before he found all of the evidence that backed up his case. One of the key pieces of evidence (among others) was that negotiations for Alix/Alice to marry King Richard of England were started in 1167 and completed in 1168; and a female child had to be at least seven in the medeival period for her to agree to a binding agreement. | France, Alix Princess Of , Countess Of Vexin (I70586)

| 178 | All of the following information came from Jane Williams Flank, World Connect db=jwflank, rootsweb.com: Bleddyn Cynfyn ruled Powys 1063-1075 _____________________ From http://homepages.tesco.net/~plk33/plk33/History/KingListBritain: By 1063, Blethyn (Bleddyn) rules a mostly united Wales, and Powys is detached from Gwynedd & Deheubarth for, or by, his son. _____________________ Bleddyn and his brother Rhiwallon were half-brothers of Gruffydd ap Llywelyn. Their mother, Angharad, married Cynfyn ap Gwerstan o the death of Llywelyn ap Seisyll. Cynfyn ap Bwerstan may have been a Powys nobleman; there is also some suggestion that he may have been half Saxon. Bleddyn remained a strong supporter of the Mercians in their battles against the Normans. Bleddyn and Rhiwallon also had to contend with internal revolution. The sons of Gruffydd ap Llywelyn, Maredudd and Idwal, attempted to reestablish their claim to the throne. However, they were also killed in the Battle of Mechain in 1070; Bleddyn now ruled without internal challenge. He is reported to having been a generous king, giving to church and populous. He was the first king in over 100 years to revise the laws developed under Hywel Dda. Unfortunately, in 1073, the Normans began their advance through north Wales, and defeated Bleddyn in a surprise attack. Weakened, he became vurnerable to his southern neighbor, Rhys ab Owain of Deheubarth. In 1075, Rhys betrayed Bleddyn, leading to his murder. However, Bleddyn's descendents became the main ruling family of Powys. [The Welsh Kings] _______________________ During the later years of the reign of his half-brother, Gruffyd, the English had brought Wales into at least nominal subjection. Gruffyd was killed by the English 5 Aug 1063. Bleddyn and his brother Rhiwallon, having submitted to King Edward, were made rules of Gwynedd and Powys. The Normans who came with William the Conqueror soon encroached upon the Welsh who resisted them and Rhiwallon was slain in battle in 1070. Bleddyn was then the sole Ruler. [The Weaver Genealogy] ___________________________ In 1075, Bleddyn was killed by Rhys, the brother of Maredudd ab Owain, and Rhys in turn was likeed in 1078 by Caradog ap Gruffudd. Bleddyn's kingdom passed to his cousin, Trahaearn ap Caradog, but Trahaearn was killed, along with Caradog ap Gruffudd, in the battle of Mynydd Carn in 1081.

| 180 | All of the following information came from Jane Williams Flank, World Connect db=jwflank, rootsweb.com: Little is known of Cynfyn. His fame, like that of many of his descendants, was only the reflection of the fame of his distinguished wife. There is no evidence that he ever attempted to rule in the right of his wife as did her first husband. The sons of Cynfyn and Angharad were Bleddyn and Rhiwallon. The pedigree of Cynfyn which appears in Vol 1, p 63 of the Historical Manuscripts Commission, London, 1898, extends back through twenty-two generations to Beli Mawr and Anna through their son Llud. Prof Lloyd thinks that it is mythical. It is certainly incomplete. It would require many more thatn twenty-two generation to cover the period of more than one thousand years. In the History of Radnorshire it is stated that Cynfyn was the son of Gwerstan and the grandson of Gwaethfoed Fawr. [The Weave Genealogy] | Of Powys, Prince Cynfyn Ap Gwerystan (I70744)

[Magna Charta Sureties] ----------------------------- But then she [Isabel, younger sister, but Countess of Gloucester] died only a few days later and her sister Amice, by now the only one of William FitzRobert's daughters still living, seems to have been recognised as Countess of Gloucester till her own death some seven and a half years later. On the other hand Amice's son Gilbert de Clare, Earl of Hertford or of Clare (usually called the latter), was apparently acknowledged as Earl of Gloucester in addition to his other dignity from as soon as the month after his aunt Isabel's death back in 1217.

| 183 | An undoubted Earl of Gloucester, perhaps the first authentic one, at any rate after the Conquest, is Robert FitzHamon's son-in-law, another Robert, who was an illegitimate son of Henry I and was so created 1122. The Earldom passed to his eldest son, William FitzRobert, and from him to John, later King John and husband from 1189 to 1199 (when he divorced her) of Isabel, the youngest of William FitzRobert's three daughters. On John's coming to the throne the title did not merge in the Crown for it was not his in his own right but in right of his wife. [Burke's Peerage] | Fitzrobert, William (I52591)

|
| 186 | Ancestral Roots has Agnes m. Adam II de Brus, but that has been changed. The following two posts to soc.genealogy.medieval indicate that the "accepted" order of wives for Adam I & II de Brus should actually be reversed: From: Rosie Bevan (rbevan@paradise.net.nz) Subject: Re: Domesday Descendants corrections: Harcourt & Brus Newsgroups: soc.genealogy.medieval Date: 2002-06-05 18:38:09 PST Hi Cris As you have commented, K. Keats-Rohan in Domesday Descendants [p.354, 355] has listed Adam I de Brus of Skelton(d.1142) as married to Agnes of Aumale, and Adam II Brus (d.1196) as married to Juetta de Arches. This is in variance with Farrer's observations in vol. 3 of Early Yorkshire Charters in which the opposite placement is upheld. The situation is not helped by CP which claims [VII : 670] that Agnes of Aumale married William de Roumare and secondly Piers de Brus. A study of the chronology tends to support K-R's findings. Stephen de Aumale, Agnes' father, came of age in 1090, indicating that he was born about 1069. He married Hawise de Mortemer and they had 3 sons (William, Ingelram and Stephen) and 3 or 4 daughters (Matilda, Adelisa are names of two), of whom Agnes was supposedly the youngest. and about 1127.[CP VII : 670 ; K-R Domesday Descendants p.225]. Stephen's son and heir is mentioned in a charter of 1115. [EYC 3; no 1304]. Assuming this is William le Gros, he was born before 1109, as he was of age in 1130. At a rough guess based on the dates of William le Gros, as a younger child Agnes would have been born between 1110-1120. This would place her more appropriately as wife of Adam I, than Adam II, as the latter was born in 1134 (of age in 1155). On the death of Adam I de Brus she had borne two sons - Adam and William. Adam the younger was placed in the custody of William le Gros, Count of Aumale. The only piece of evidence which supports a marriage between the Brus/Aumale families is the claim in 1276, on the death of Avelina de Forz without issue, some 150 years after the supposed event, of the four coheirs of Peter de Brus to the Holderness estate. Walter de Fauconberg and Agnes, Marmaduke Thweng and Lucy, Margaret widow of Robert de Ros, John de Bella Aqua and Laderina claimed to be heirs by descent from Agnes de Aumale. Agnes de Aumale married [secondly] William de Roumare and had three sons (William, Robert and Roger) by him before his death in 1151 [K-R DD: p.670]. The eldest, William later Earl of Lincoln was still a minor in 1165 so was born later than 1144. This certainly fits within the chronology as Adam I died in 1142. -snip- Cheers Rosie Note; I corrected the above message, based on a later correcting post by Rosie; the original message said that Stephen de Aumale succeeded his father who d. in 1127, when Stephen himself d. in 1127. ------------------------- From: Cristopher Nash (c@windsong.u-net.com) Subject: Re: Domesday Descendants corrections: Harcourt & Brus Newsgroups: soc.genealogy.medieval Date: 2002-06-08 04:13:25 PST Now I can quickly summarize the argument of Ruth Blakely, 'The Bruses of Skelton and William of Aumale' in _Yorks Archeol Jnl_ (2001) 73:19-28, which appears to be the clincher leading Keats-Rohan in DD to reverse the traditional order of two early Brus marriages, giving (1) the wife of Adam I de Brus as Agnes d'Aumale and (2) the wife of Adam II de Brus as Juetta de Arches. Blaklely's article is devoted specifically to this double question. -snip- On Agnes d'Aumale: Again Blakely starts with William Brown's reversal. A claim to the Aumale estate put forward in 1274 by the heirs of Peter III de Brus has regularly been accepted in evidence that the later Bruses were descended from Agnes, and Blakely does not question this. She gives evidence on chronological grounds that Agnes could not have been the wife of Robert I de Brus (Adam I's father) or of Peter I de Brus (Adam II's son), and then provides an argument for her having been the wife of the remaining possible Brus, viz. Adam I, and makes out a case for her having been married to her other husband, William II de Roumare after (not before, as some accounts have it) her Brus marriage [25-27]. The details are intricate and I'm not going to unpack them all here. Her conclusion is that "although the evidence is less conclusive than in the case of Juetta, there are sufficient pointers to suggest that this was indeed the case" and "well within the bounds of probability" [26, 27]. An important aspect of Blakely's argument is that this reconstruction of the 4 marriages of Juetta and Agnes resolves a number of problems that have long dogged the Brus genealogy. A useful part of its development is a thoughtful assessment of the historical (inter-family political/economic) background to these events. Rosie, I think when your interloan copy gets to you you'll find that the article parallels a good part of your smart chronological case, and yours may in fact lend it further support. Hope this quick sketch helps. Cris | D'aumale, Agnes (I70336)

| 187 | Ancestral Roots names Eldred as Baron of Kendal, but if Richard Borthwick's sources are correct, Ketel (Chetell) may have attained Kendal through his wife Christina and not from his father Eldred, in which case Eldred was "of Workington" and possibly not "Baron of Kendal" | Of Kendal, Baron Eldred Workington (I70288)

| 188 | Ancestral Roots, line 185-2, states that Emma "d. 1080", referring to Moriarty's "Plantagenet Ancestry", p. 42 & 46, as a source for the information. Todd Farmerie looked up the reference in Moriarty at my request and found on p. 42 "occ. 1080", and on p. 44 (not 46), "1080" without any indication of what it represents. There is a big difference between "d. 1080" and "living 1080", especially when your marriage date is "bef. 16 June 1080", because "d. 1080" might well mean you didn't have any children. Thanks to Todd Farmerie I can correct AR to "aft. 1080" for her death date. | Of Toulouse, Countess Mathilde (I53770)

| 191 | Andrew, World Connect db=andwai, shows William Ramsay as son of Conan by Ermengarde of Anjou. However chronology would indicate that William was the younger son of Conan's son Eudes by Orguen, shown on a chart in CP. This William is the only William shown as a descendant of Conan Duke of Brittany. Some say that he was a Duke of Brittany. CP doesn't give him a very important role in the chart; he looks like a younger son (born in the middle among about 8 others) of minor importance. He is given no surname or title on the chart. I am assuming, given that people believe he was of Brittany, that William de Ramsay is the William indicated on CP's chart. | De Ramsey, William (I70320)

He defeated Edward de Baliol, King of Scotland in 1332 and was appointed regent of Scotland during the minority of King David II.Assumed the earldom from his brother, Hugh Douglas, who resigned and was canon of the Cathedral Church of Glasgow. "He was chosen Regent of Scotland in 1333, after the capture of Sir Andrew Murray of Bothwell at Roxburgh Castle - an unfortunate choice, as succeeding events proved. In his attempt to relieve the castle and town of Berwick, then besieged by Edward III, Douglas rashly and imprudently attacked the English army drawn up in a strong position at Halidon Hill (July 22, 1333), and was defeated and killed, along with a large number of the leading nobility of Scotland and several thousands of the common soldiers. This disastrous battle for a time laid Scotland prostrate at the feet of the English monarch. In this extremity the struggle for the independence of the country was maintained by a small band of gallant leaders, conspicuous among them was Sir William Douglas, the Knight of Liddesdale."

Before he succeeded to the earldom he fought with great gallantry in the wars of both France and England. In 1356 he accompanied William, Earl of Douglas, to France, and was taken prisoner at the battle of Poitiers (13th September), but made his escape through a dexterous strategem of Sir William Ramsay of Colluthie. In 1378 he inflicted a signal defeat, near Melrose, of a body of English spearmen and archers under Sir Thomas Musgrave. Before the battle he knighted on the field two of the King's sons, who were under his banner, along with his own son. The conflict was keenly contested, but was quickly decided. Douglas, according to his general custom, as Froissart mentions, when he found the fight becoming hot, dismounted, and wielding a large two-handled sword, made such havoc among the enemy that they gave way on all sides. Great numbers were slain, and Musgrave and his son, with many other knights and squires, were taken prisoners. After the Earl became the head of the family, he was regarded as the most powerful subject in the kingdom He was noted for his courage, firmness, and sagacity, and not less for his pride. Hume of Godscroft says, 'He was a man nothing inferior to any of his predecessors in any kind of virtue. In piety he was singular through his whole life, and most religious according to those times! He founded the Collegiate Church of Bothwell, a part of which still remains to attest its former magnificence. Godscroft affirms that the Earl had a mind free from all ambition, but his conduct in regard to the marriage of his daughter Marjory to Daivd, Duke of Rothesay, the heir-apparent to the throne, shows that he was scarcely entitled to that eulogium. The Prince was affianced to the daughter of the Earl of March; but Douglas, jealous of the aggrandisement of a rival noble, by the offer of a much more splendid dowry prevailed upon Albany, the King's brother, to get that contract set aside, on the plea that the sanction of the Estates had not been given to it, and to wed Rothesay to Marjory Douglas. The result of this dishonourable transaction was highly injurious to the happiness of the Prince, and the peace of the country. Notwithstanding, the influence of the Earl was on the whole beneficial during the feeble reign of Robert III; and when he and the Queen-mother, Anabella Drummond, and the venerable Bishop Traill of St. Andrews, all died, A.D. 1400, within a short time of each other, according to Fordun it was commonly said throughout the kingdom that the glory and honesty of Scotland was buried with these three noble persons."
