      1. “Royal Ancestry: A Study in Colonial & Medieval Families,” Douglas Richardson (2013):
      “HUGH, 6th Earl of Chester, hereditary Vicomte of Avranches in Normandy, seigneur of Saint Sever and Briquessart, son and heir, born about 1141 (of age in 1162). He is sometimes called Hugh of Cyfeiliog, because, according to a late writer, he was born in that district of Wales. According to the chronicler, John of Hexham, it was agreed at Carlisle in 1150 that a son of Ranulph, Earl of Chester, should marry one of the daughters of Henry, son of the king of Scotland. The son of Earl Ranulph was presumably his eldest son, Hugh. The projected marriage never took place. In the period, 1154-7, Earl Hugh and his mother, Countess Maud, gave Styvechale (south of Coventry) to Walter, Bishop of Chester, and his successors for the absolution of Hugh's father, Lord Earl Ranulph, and the redemption of his soul and that of his ancestors. Sometime in the period, 1155- 63, the king ordered Earl Hugh and his mother, Countess Maud, to give to the Abbot and monks of Gloucester the rents which Hugh's father, Earl Ranulph, gave them in the mills of Oldney and Tadwell. He was present in 1163 at Dover for King Henry II's renewal of the Flemish money fief, and also attended the Council of Clarendon in January 1164. Sometime in the period, 1166-87, he confirmed the former grant made to Saint-Etienne Abbey, Caen by Ranulph, Vicomte of Bayeux, his ancestor, of all the land the said Ranulph possessed at Bretteville-l'Orgueilleuse. He married in 1169 BERTRADE DE MONTFORT, daughter of Simon de Montfort, Count of Evreux, seigneur of Montfort-l'Amaury, by his wife, Maud. She was born about 1156 (aged 29 in 1185). They had one son, Ranulph, Knt. [Earl of Chester and Lincoln], and five daughters, Maud, Mabel, Agnes, Hawise, and (wife of Llywelyn ap Iorwerth, Prince of North Wales). By an unknown mistress (or mistresses), he also had two illegitimate sons, William (or Pain) (of Milton), and Roger, and one illegitimate daughter, Amice. Hugh joined the rebellion of King Henry II's sons in 1173. He was captured by King Henry II at Dol in August 1173. In 1174 he was deprived of his lands for rebellion. He was subsequently regranted his honours and lands at the Council of Northampton in 1177. In March 1178 he witnessed King Henry II's award in the dispute between Alfonso IX, King of Castile, and Sancho V, King of Navarre. During his lifetime, he granted some lands in the Wirral to the Abbey of St. Werburgh, Chester, and made other special gifts to Stanlow Priory, St Mary's, Coventry, and the nuns of Buffington and Greenfield priories. He also confirmed his mother's grants to her foundation of Augustinian canons at Calke, Derbyshire, and those of his father to his convent of the Benedictine nuns of St Mary's, Chester. In 1171 he confirmed the grants of his father to the Abbey of St. Stephen in the diocese of Bayeux. He likewise granted the church of Belchford, Lincolnshire to Trentham Priory, and the church of Combe, Gloucestershire to the Abbey of Bordesley, Warwickshire. HUGH, Earl of Chester, died at Leek, Staffordshire 30 June 1181, and was buried next to his father in the chapter house of St Werburgh's, Chester. Sometime in the period, 1188-99, his widow, Bertrade, witnessed a charter of her son, Ranulph, Earl of Chester. In the period, 1190-1200, she reached agreement with the abbot and convent of Troarn in Normandy regarding the construction of a mill and fishpond on the boundary between her wood and theirs. Sometime before 1194-1203, she exchanged lands with the canons of Repton. Sometime in the period, 1200-10, she granted to Ralph Carbonel, of Halton, Lincolnshire, for his homage and service a half a knight's fee which he held of the said countess in Halton. In 1223 Richard Duket and Simon de Sees brought a plea of novel disseisin against her touching a tenement in Harmston, Lincolnshire. In 1226 she presented to the church of Waddington, Lincolnshire. In 1227 she arraigned an assize of last presentation to the church of Waddington, Lincolnshire against the abbot of St. Sever. Bertrade, Countess of Chester, died in 1227, after 31 March.

      i. RANULPH, Knt., Earl of Chester, Vicomte of Avranches in Normandy, Judge in the King's Court, 1193, Constable of Sermilly Castle, 1201-4, Constable of the Tower of Avranches, 1203, Governor of the Peak Castle and Forest, 1215, Sheriff of Lancashire, 1216-22, Sheriff of Shropshire and Staffordshire, 1216,1217-23, Steward of the Town and Honour of Lancaster, 1216-23, Constable of Fotheringay Castle, 1221-2, Steward of the Honour of Leicester, 1222, and, in right of his 1st wife, Duke of Brittany, Earl of Richmond, son and heir, born at Oswestry in Powys c.1172. He was knighted by the king at Caen 1 Jan. 1187/8. He married (1st) 3 Feb. 1187/8 (or 1189) CONSTANCE OF BRITTANY [see BRITTANY 6], widow of Geoffrey of England, Duke of Brittany, Earl of Richmond (killed in a tournament at Paris 19 August 1186) [see ENGLAND 4.v], and daughter and heiress of Conan IV le Petit, Duke of Brittany, Earl of Richmond, by Margaret, daughter of Henry of Scotland, Earl of Northumberland [see BRITTANY 5 for her ancestry]. She was born about 1162. They had no issue. In 1194 he was commander of the forces for King Richard I. He took part in the second Coronation of King Richard I, which was solemnised in Winchester Cathedral 17 April 1194. In 1196 Ranulph captured his wife, Constance, en route to her finalizing negotiations with King Richard I and confined her at Benvron for at least a year. Soon after her release, she sought the annulment of their marriage, which was granted in 1199, presumably on grounds on consanguinity; she subsequently married (3rd) before October 1199 (as his 1st wife) GUY DE THOUARS, in right of his 1st wife, Count (or Duke) of Brittany, Earl of Richmond [see BRITTANY 6]. Constance died testate at Nantes 4 (or 5) Sept. 1201. Ranulph married (2nd) before 7 October 1200 CLEMENCE DE FOUGERES, widow of Main de Vitre (or Dinan) (died 1198), seigneur of Dinan, and daughter of Guillaume de Fougères, seigneur of Fougères, by Agatha, daughter of Guillaume du Hommet, Constable of Normandy [see FOUGERES 5 for her ancestry]. Her maritagium included land in the valley of Mortain. They had no issue. He was engaged in warfare with the Welsh from 1209 to 1214. He was faithful to King John against the rebellious Barons. He was one of the executors of King John who died 19 October 1216; and one of most zealous supporters of the young king, Henry III. In 1217, as Joint Commander of the royal army, he contributed to the defeat of the rebels under the Count of Perche. He was created Earl of Lincoln 23 May 1217. He went on crusade to the Holy Land in May 1218, and distinguished himself at the Siege of Damietta. He returned to England in August 1220. In 1223 he was required to surrender his castles. In 1229 he opposed in Parliament the grant of a tenth to the Pope, and forbade its collection in his own domain. In 1229 Earl Ranulph granted tithes in Wilsford, Wiltshire, formerly held of the Earl of Lincoln, to Roger, Succentor of Salisbury. He served as Chief Commander of the royal troops in Brittany, 1230-1, and in June 1231 was a Joint Commissioner to treat with France. Sometime between April 1231 and his death, he resigned the earldom of Lincoln to his sister, Hawise de Quincy. RANULPH, Earl of Chester, died at Wallingford 28 October 1232, and was buried at St. Werburg's, Chester, his heart being interred at Dieulacres Abbey. His widow, Clemence, died in 1252. Sandford Gen.

      “JOHN DE LACY (or LASCY) (also known as JOHN OF CHESTER), Knt., of Pontefract, Yorkshire, Naseby, Northamptonshire, Hatton, Cheshire, etc., hereditary Constable of Chester, Keeper of Duninton Castle, 1214, Constable of Whitchurch Castle, 1233, Privy Councillor, 1237, Sheriff of Cheshire, 1237, Constable of Chester and Beeston Castles, 1237, son and heir, born about 1192 (of age in 1213). He married (1st) ALICE DE L'AIGLE, daughter of Gilbert de l'Aigle, of Pevensey, Sussex, by Isabel de Warenne, daughter of Hamelin, 5th Earl of Surrey (illegitimate son of Geoffrey Plantagenet, (Count of Anjou) [see WARENNE 7.iv for her ancestry]. They had no issue. She was buried at Norton Priory, Cheshire. He obtained livery of his inheritance in July 1213. In 1213-14 he was with the king in Poitou. He was one of the few English barons to take the Cross for the Crusades along with the king 4 March 1214. In 1215 he joined the confederacy of the barons against the king. He was one of the twenty-five barons elected to guarantee the observance of Magna Carta, signed by King John 15 June 1215. In consequence he was among the barons excommunicated by Pope Innocent III 16 Dec. 1215. At the end of the year he made peace with the king, but next summer was again in rebellion, and King John destroyed his castle of Donington. In August 1217 he was pardoned by King Henry III, and in Nov. 1217 he was commissioned to conduct the King of Scots to him. In 1218 he accompanied Ranulph, Earl of Chester, on crusade, and fought at the Siege of Damietta. He returned to England about August 1220, and in Feb. 1220/1 took part in the reduction of Skipton Castle. He married (2nd) in 1221, before 21 June MARGARET (or MARGERY) DE QUINCY, daughter and heiress of Robert de Quincy, by Hawise, suo jure Countess of Lincoln, daughter of Hugh, Earl of Chester [see QUINCY 6.i for her ancestry]. She was born before 1217. They had one son, Edmund, Knt. [Constable of Chester], and three daughters, including Maud and Margaret. In 1223 he held the prescriptive right to a weekly market held at the manor of Snaith, Yorkshire. In 1226 he acted as itinerant judge in Lincolnshire and Lancashire, and, in the former county in 1233. In 1227 he was sent on an embassy to Antwerp. He presented to the churches of Naseby, Northamptonshire in 1227 and 1231, and Wadenhoe, Rutland, 1237, and two portions of the church of Clipstone, Northamptonshire in 1228, 1229, 1230, and 1235. In 1229 he was appointed to conduct Alexander II, King of Scots to England to meet King Henry III of England at York. From about 1230 he was about the court, and in that year was a commissioner to treat for a truce with France. In 1230 John and Margaret released their claim to the main Quincy estates to her uncle, Roger de Quincy; Roger in return granted them and their issue her mother's dower, including the manor of Grantchester, Cambridgeshire, to hold of Roger and his heirs. In 1231 he was in Wales on the king's service. Sometime before 1232, he exchanged one acre of land in the vill of Kingston with Christchurch Priory, Hampshire, in return for an acre of the priory's land also in Kingston. In 1232 he took a prominent part as the king's commissioner in the proceedings against Hubert de Burgh, Earl of Kent. On 22 Nov. 1232, at the instance of Margaret's mother, Hawise de Quincy, the king granted John the £20 per annum which Ranulph, late Earl of Chester and Lincoln, had received for the 3rd penny of the county as Earl of Lincoln, and which the Earl had in his lifetime granted to Hawise his sister: to hold in nomine comitis Lincolnie to the said John and his heirs by Margaret his wife, whereby he became Earl of Lincoln. In 1233 he was one of Hubert de Burgh's keepers at Devizes Castle until he should become a Templar. The same year he joined the party against Peter des Roches, Bishop of Winchester, but the Bishop gained him over, and from that time he acted with the Court, becoming one of the king's unpopular councillors. He was a justice in Lincolnshire in 1234. In 1236 he carried one of the State swords at the Coronation of Queen Eleanor. The same year a dispute occured between John, Earl of Lincoln, and Margaret his wife and the Prior of Wimborne, the former alleging that a new market had been raised in Wimborne Minster, Dorset, to the detriment of their existing market in the town. In 1237 he was a plenipotentiary to make peace with Scotland. SIR JOHN DE LACY, Earl of Lincoln, Constable of Chester, died 22 July 1240, and was buried near his father in the monk's choir at Stanlaw Abbey, his body being removed later to Whalley Abbey. She presented to the church of North Thoresby, Lincolnshire in 1241. His widow, Margaret, married (2nd) 6 Jan. 1241/2 WALTER MARSHAL, Knt., 8th Earl of Pembroke, hereditary Master Marshal [see MARSHAL 3.iv], hereditary Steward of Leinster, of Hampstead Marshall, Berkshire, Bere and Sturminster, Dorset, Silchester, Hampshire, Hinxworth, Hertfordshire, Goodrich Castle, Herefordshire, Box, Great Bedwyn, Wexcombe (in Great Bedwyn), and Wootton Rivers, Wiltshire, etc., seigneur of Orbec and Longueville, and, in right of his wife, Earl of Lincoln, 4th son of William Marshal, Knt., 4th Earl of Pembroke (or Sttiguil), by Isabel, daughter of Richard Fitz Gilbert (nicknamed Strongbow), 2nd Earl of Pembroke (or Striguil) [see MARSHAL 3 for his ancestry]. He was born after 1198. They had no issue. In 1233 he supported his brother Richard Marshal against the king's foreign favorites and his lands were forfeited. In 1234 he was in Ireland with his brother Richard, who sent him away before the fatal Battle of Kildare, lest his family should be extirpated. He passed over to Wales with his brothers and was pardoned with them. In 1239 he was alienated from King Henry III, by the king's hostility to his brother Gilbert Marshal. In 1240 he was sent into Wales with a large army to strengthen Cardigan Castle, and he took for his brother Gilbert lands appurtenant to the honour of Carmarthen. In June 1241 he took part in the tournament at which Gilbert Marshal was mortally wounded. The king at first refused to invest Walter in the Earldom of Pembroke as Gilbert's heir, because he had forbidden the tournament, but on 27 October the king relented and invested Walter with both the earldom and office of Marshal. He served as a captain in the king's army in Gascony and Poitou in 1242. In 1243 he surrendered his wife's castle of Bolingbroke, Lincolnshire and her mother's lands in Lincolnshire, which estates were subsequently restored to him and his wife, Margaret. In 1244 he was one of the laymen who was elected to consider the king's demand for a subsidy. He presented to the church of West Halton, Lincolnshire in 1242, and to a mediety of the church of Toynton St. Peter, Lincolnshire in 1245. SIR WALTER MARSHAL, Earl of Pembroke, died at Goodrich Castle, Herefordshire 24 Nov. 1245, and was buried at Tintern Abbey, Monmouthshire. By judgments of the King's court, his widow, Margaret, recovered dower out of lands in Ireland held by Walter Marshal, and she received seisin of one-third of all of the Earl's lands and tenements in Ireland. In 1252 his widow, Margaret, and Richard de Wiltshire were granted a yearly fair at the manor of Chelbury, Lincolnshire. In 1262 an action of recaption was brought against Margaret, Countess of Lincoln, Joce de Stepping [her steward], and John de Lusby. In 1263 the king promised that her executors should have free administration of her goods. In the period, 1263-6, Master Walter of Stainsby filed a writ of attachment against Joce de Stepping, Steward of Margaret, Countess of Lincoln, which required Joce to answer for having distrained Master Walter to perform suit at the court of Lusby contrary to law. Margaret, Countess of Lincoln and Pembroke, died at Hampstead, Middlesex shortly before 30 March 1266, and was buried near her father in the Church of the Hospitallers, Clerkenwell, Middlesex.
