[large-G675.FTW]

Maud de Lacy, widow of Richard, earl of Gloucester, outlived her husband by more than a quarter of a century, dying in March 1289. From 1262 until her death she held one-third of the Clare inheritance in dower, although her son Earl Gilbert the Red did successfully challenge the original composition of her dower portion, which was readjusted in 1267. Maud did not remarry, preferring to spend her long widowhood Undisclosed off the revenues of her estates, contributing handsomely to ecclesiastical foundations, and helping to promote her children. Her activities on behalf of her daughters Margaret and Rohese have been noted [see note under her husband Richard], and she also attempted, with less success, to present her son Bogo to the church of Adlingfleet in Yorkshire. Her gifts to religious houses were numerous. In 1248 Earl Richard founded Clare Priory, the first house of Austin Friars in England, and after his death the countess continued his generosity with several grants of land to the priory. In addition, a scheme to found an Augustinian nunnery attracted her. In 1284 she refounded the priory of Canonsleigh in Devon. Canonsleigh was originally established for seven Augustinian canons by Walter de Clavill, a mesne tenant of the honor of Gloucester, but in 1284 Maud
provided an annual gift of L200 for the support of an abbess and 40 canonesses of that order. She had originally had the idea of doing this for
Sandleford Priory in Berkshire, but for some reason the plan fell through in 1274, and a decade later she refounded Canonsleigh instead. By 1286 the new nunnery was in existence, and the dispossessed canons were under
royal protection."

--- W E Wightman, *The Lacy Family in England and Normandy, 1066-1194*,
genealogical chart following p 260.

From same, p 85-86: Rogers' great grandmother Alberda de Lacy's nephew Robert de Lacy (who m. Isabel Plantagenet) seems to have been allowed to inherit the honour as soon as his father's death became known. He left no heirs, and, as there were no other surviving heirs of either Henry or Ilbert II, the succession devolved on the great-grandson of Henry's sister Alberda: Roger 'Helle', constable of Chester, who took the name Lacy when he was allowed to inherit the lands. He had to pay a relief of three thousand
marks, three times the amount that Robert had paid sixteen years before.
Thus the honours of Halton and Widnes became joined to those of Pontefract
and Clitheroe built up by the first Lacy line, the whole forming the basis
of the power of the earls of Lincoln in the next century."
