Does anyone have any information on the de Lucy family? I have three Maud
de Lucys, but I do not know how they are related:

Maud de Lucy, daughter of Thomas de Lucy and Mary de Multon. Maud married
Henry Percy (1341 - 1408). Children?

Maud de Lucy, married Gilbert de Umfreville, Earl of Angus (died 1381).
Children?

Maud de Lucy, daughter of Richard de Lucy, married Walter FitzRobert de
Clare (died 1198). They were the parents of Robert and Alice.

Sorry, I have not dates on any of these Mauds, and I have no further
information on their parentage.

Thank you.

Benjamin

These are the same person. Burke's shows a son, Robert, by the 1st
marriage, to Gilbert de Umfreville. See BxP:544.

These two Mauds were one and the same. Her first husband was Gilbert (and
his second wife) and her second was Henry first earl of Northumberland (and
was his second wife). Maud dsp.[CP I:150, VIII:254, IX:712]. The Lucy family
to which she belonged was the Lucy of Egremont (Cumberland). It is thought
this family was closely related to the Lucy of Diss (Norfolk)but the nature
of the connection is not known [but see CP VIII:247 note (c)]. The son of
Gilbert, Robert, was by Gilbert's first wife and Robert dvp and sp. The
Umfreville descent was through earl Gilbert's brother, Thomas [CP I:150-151].

>>Maud de Lucy, daughter of Richard de Lucy, married Walter FitzRobert de
>>Clare (died 1198). They were the parents of Robert and Alice.

Maud de Lucy received Diss. Her brother Geoffrey (I) dvp and his son,
Richard, succeeded his grandfather, Richard the justiciar. Geoffrey (I) also
had a daughter Rohese and she succeeded her brother Richard. Geoffrey (II)
was a son of Geoffrey (I) but was either by another marriage or
illegitimate. In any case the Lucy family of Newington descends from
Geoffrey (II) [CP VIII:257-263, see 257 note (c)]. Rohese de Lucy married
John de Dover (d.about 1194) lord of Chilham, Kent [Sanders, 111].

An interesting sidelight. Alice, another dau. of Richard de Lucy of Diss
(the justiciar) m. Odinel (II) de Umfreville (d.1182) of Prudhoe,
Northumberland.This pair were the ancestors of Gilbert who m. Maud de Lucy
(of the Egremont family). [Sanders, 73].

Where does this Walter fit into the family of the Lords of Clare,
Earls of Hertford etc?

According to Altschul, M *A Baronial Family in Medieval England: The Clares,
1217-1314* (1965) (see Table I) Robert fitz Richard (d.1136) was son of
Richard fitz Gilbert (I) (b.1035 d.1090) lord of Tonbridge by Rohese
Giffard. Sanders *English Baronies* p.129 says "The lands [of William
Baynard i.e. Little Dunmow, Essex] were granted to Robert, younger son of
Richard fitz Gilbert de Clare d.1136 lord of Clare, Suffolk. Robert I,
ancestor of the house of Fitz Walter, d.1134-6 leaving Walter I ...". CP
V:472 note (f) says "Robert was a yr. s. of Richard fitz Gilbert, of Clare
and Tonbridge." CP does not indicate a death date for Richard fitz Gilbert
(unlike the entry for each other member of the filiation line recited). ES
III/1:156 (which in the main follows Altschul) gives Robert f Gilbert (I) a
son Robert but with no death date or designation (unlike Altschul's entry).
Also see ES III/4:701B for Robert's marriage & dates. On the other hand
neither Altschul nor ES III/1 give Robert f Gilbert (II) (d.1136) a son
named 'Robert'.

There may be no problem here; but the dates for the Dunmow descent starting
with Richard f Gilbert (I) while not impossible look a bit strained. Richard
(b.1035 d.1090) -> Robert I (d.1134-36) -> Walter I (d.1198) -> Robert II
(d.1235). A descent from Richard f Gilbert (II) would have Robert I being
born after 1115 breeding, being granted a barony and dying before he was
twenty-one (i.e. about 17 or 18 years old).

Hitherto I have just assumed that Sanders made a typo or a mistake, and have
followed Altschul. Suzanne's question sparked a new and more careful look.
Is there a problem?

Richard
