Hello Spencer, et al.,
I would have replied sooner re: your query (going back to a post last
week), but there was some problem between SGM and AOL requiring my
re-subscribing today. At any rate:
You had asked re: descents from Alice, daughter of Hugh de
Montfort-sur-Risle, one of the known participants in the Norman campaign in
England and accepted combatant at Hastings. I show the following:
..1. Hugh de Montfort, count of Montfort-sur-Risle
......1. Alice de Montfort, m. Gilbert de Gant, of Folkingham, co. Lincoln,
d. ca. 1095 [ref. CP Vol VII {Lincoln}, p. 672n)
...........1. Emma de Gant [her maritagium including lands in Wold Newton and
Horkstow], m. Alan de Percy, of Topcliffe, co. York, d. bef. Dec 1135 [ref:

...............1. William de Percy, of Topcliffe, co. York, d.s.p.m.s before
1176 [Ancestor of Percy, Lord Percy and also the Earls of Northumberland]
..........2. Walter de Gant, of Folkingham, co. Lincoln, d. 1139; m. Maud,
daughter of Stephen of Richmond (d. 1135) and his wife Hawisa [ref. CP Vol

..............1. Gilbert de Gant, Earl of Lincoln, d.s.p.m. 1156
..............2. Alice de Gant [her maritagium including manor of Empingham],
m. 1stly Ilbert de Lacy; 2ndly Roger de Mowbray, of Masham, co. York, Thirsk
and Melton Mowbray, co. Leicester, d. en route from Palestine 1188 [ref. CP
Vol X {Mowbray}, p. 371 and 371n]
[Ancestors of Mowbray, Lord Mowbray; Thomas de Mowbray, Duke of Norfolk (d.
1399), et al.]
.............3. NN de Gant, an unnamed daughter, m. William fitz Walter, of
Well, co. Lincoln and Claxby, Norfolk, d. before 1198 [ref. CP Vol XII
{Welles}, p. 437]
[Ancestors through son Robert of Welles, Lord Welles and through daughter
Isabel, wife of Robert fitz Hugh of Tattershall, co. Lincoln, of Tateshal,

Hope the foregoing is helpful.
Good luck, and good hunting.
