> The problem (as shown in "The Ancestry of Elizabeth of York")

> confused over time. There are two separate families, who likely
> have a near relationship (not yet shown/proven) which can be
> distinguished:
>
> 1. The Cumberland family, traced from Simon de Morville and
> his wife Ada de Engaine, dau. of William de Engaine of
> Burgh by Sands, Cumbs. Their chief lands were the manors
> of Burgh by Sands, Penrith, Kirkoswald and Lazenby,
> Cumberland.
>
> 2. The Northants. family, traced from Hugh de Morville,
> which is the one with the Scots connections - their
> chief lands being the manors of Whissendine and Bosegate,
> Northants.
>
> I am forwarding detailed pedigrees of these two families - but,
> separately (do not want to annex the State of Confusion). Following
> is the first one, giving the descent from Hugh de Beauchamp through
> his granddaughter Beatrice de Beauchamp, who brought Whissendine,
> Northants. and other lands to her husband Hugh de Morville.
>
> ~ Note: this strays a bit from the Morville theme, but does
