“ALAN DE PERCY, of Topcliffe, Yorkshire, son and heir. He married EMMA DE GANT (or GAUNT), daughter of Gilbert de Gant, of Folkingham, Lincolnshire, by Alice, daughter of Hugues, seigneur of Montfort-sur-Risle [see GANT 1 for ancestry]. Her maritagium included land in Wold Newton, Ganton, and Staxton, and presumably also in Horkstow, Lincolnshire. They had six sons, William, Walter, Geoffrey, Henry, Alan, and Robert, and one daughter. By an unknown mistress (or mistresses), he also had two illegitimate sons, Alan, Knt., and Geoffrey. His dispute with the bishop of Durham for lands in the soke of Welton was settled in 1100 by their restoration by King William II to the bishop. He confirmed his father's gifts to Whitby Abbey and made several additions, and was a benefactor of St. Peter's Hospital, York. In 1121 he was present at Durham with other magnates when the monks of Durham asserted their claim to the patronage of Tynemouth Priory. He witnessed notifications issued by King Henry I at Portsmouth, 1109-14, Winchester, 1115-16, and Rockingham, 1126-29. He and his son, William, gave land in Holme on the Wolds to Haslat de Leconfield. ALAN DE PERCY was living in 1130, and died not later than Dec. 1135. In Feb. 1135/6 King Stephen confirmed the benefactions made to Whitby Abbey by Alan de Percy and by his father, William de Percy. He was buried at Whitby Abbey. In 1140 his widow, Emma, quitclaimed to John, Abbot of Fountains, two bovates of land in Merston, Yorkshire. At an unknown date, she gave a carucate of land to Bridlington Priory, with the assent of her son, William.
