      1. “Royal Ancestry: A Study in Colonial & Medieval Families,” Douglas Richardson (2013):
      "ALICE DE MOHUN. She married (1st) WILLIAM DE CLINTON. They had no issue. He died before 1237. In that year, the king released the manors of Aston Chiveray and Oke (both in the parish of Aston Clinton), Buckinghamshire to her. She married (2nd) before 16 Dec. 1246 ROBERT DE BEAUCHAMP, Knt., of Hatch Beauchamp, Marston, and Shepton Beauchamp, Somerset, Maidencourt (in East Garston), Berkshire, Dorton, Buckinghamshire, Bolbury Beauchamp (in Malborough) and Tale (in Payhembury), Devon, Shepperton, Middlesex, etc., Justice in Eyre for the Western Counties, son and heir of Robert„de Beauchamp (also known as Robert Fitz Simon), of Hatch Beauchamp, Marston, Shepton Beauchamp, and Stoke-under-Hamdon, Somerset, Bolbury Beauchamp (in Malborough), Devon, etc., and, in right of his wife, of Maidencourt (in East Garston), Berkshire and Dorton, Buckinghamshire, by Juliane, illegitimate daughter of John Marshal, King's Marshal [see MARSHAL 2.i], elder brother of William Marshal, Earl of Pembroke. The maritagium of Alice de Mohun included the Soke of Mohun within and without the City of London between Fleet-Bridge and Charing. They had four sons, John [1st of name], John, Kilt. [2nd of name], Humphrey, Knt., and Robert (Parson of Stoke-under-Hamdon, Somerset), and two daughters, Isabel and Mary. He was repeatedly summoned to perform military service in various expeditions against the Scots and the Welsh from 1244 to 1263. In 1247-8, as "Robert de Beauchamp the younger," he granted John, Prior of Sandelford, Berkshire two quarters of corn yearly from his manor of Maidencourt (in East Garston), Berkshire. In 1251 he and his wife, Alice, conveyed to Richard, Abbot of Westminster the Soke of Mohun within and without the City of London; in return the Abbot released to Robert and his heirs the annual rent payable by him for the view of frankpledge of his manor of Shepperton, Middlesex. In 1254 he gave 5 marks and 10s. worth of rent at Bolbury Beauchamp (in Malborough), together with one ploughland in Tale (in Payhembury), Devon, to Walter le Chaumberleng and Joan his wife, in exchange for lands at Belstone and Upcote, Devon. In 1255 he and his aunt, Sibyl de Bermingham, were in default in respect of the manor of Dorton, Buckinghamshire; they absented themselves from suit of court for three years. In 1260 he was granted a weekly market and annual fair at his manors of Merston and Shepton, Somerset. At an unknown date, he granted to the Hospital of St. Mary Magdalene half an acre of land in his demesne of Tale, Devon next the meadow they have of the gift of Roger de Tale. At an unknown date, Walter de Wanci quitclaimed to him a virgate of land in the town of Sheen, Surrey, which Walter had of the gift of Michael Belet. At an unknown date, he appointed William de Plessis as his attorney against the Prior of Sandleford on a plea of rent. SIR ROBERT DE BEAUCHAMP died shortly before 25 October 1263. Following his death, his widow, Alice, had a liaison with James de Audley, Knt. (died in Ireland about 11 June 1272) [see AUDLEY 8], by whom she had one illegitimate son, James. In 1263 James de Audley procured the wardship of the lands and heirs of her late husband, Robert de Beauchamp. In 1265-6 Alice gave half a mark for a writ of pone in Berkshire. In 1269-70 she sued for the recovery of lands at Parkham (in Sadborough), Devon. The same year Alice sued the Prior of Frithelstoke, Devon for land in Belstone, Devon, alleging that her husband had demised it to the Priory during her coverture; the prior called John, son of Robert de Beauchamp, to warrant. About 1270 she released the manors of Fairlight, Sussex, Halewick, Middlesex, and Old, Northamptonshire to her son, James. Sometime before 1272 Alice purchased the manor of Hardwick, Oxfordshire from Ralph d'Aundeley. In 1272-3 she arraigned an assize of novel disseisin against James son of James de Audley, etc., touching a tenement in Horseheath, Cambridgeshire. In 1274 seisin of the wardship of the lands and heir of Hamon de Mascy were restored to her, she previously having them by grant of James de Audley, Knt. (died 1272). In 1273-4 the Prior of Birkenhead arraigned an assize of darrein presentment against Alice de Beauchamp, keeper of the land and heirs of Hamo de Masy, touching the church of Bowdon, Cheshire. In 1275 she was engaged in a lawsuit against Henry de Audley, son and heir of James de Audley, Knt., to recover the marior of Horseheath, Cambridgeshire; in 1278 Henry's brother and heir, William de Audley, conceded the manor to her and her son, James. In 1276-7 Alice arraigned an assize of novel disseisin against Alice widow of Adam de Merseye and Nicholas her son touching a tenement in Hors eheath, Cambridgeshire. At an unknown date, Alan de Scaleriis and his wife, Panel, and John son of William de Horsale conveyed lands in Horseheath, Cambridgeshire to Alice de Beauchamp for life, with successive remainders to her children, James, Mary, and Humphrey. Alice was living in 1282, and died in or before 1284.
