Notes |
- [large-G675.FTW]
--- 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."
