Thanks Robert for setting out the ancestry of Sir Philip Basset. Just one
correction/addition. Sir Philip's mother, Aline de Gay, was the daughter and
co-heiress of Philip de Gay (not Gray), by his wife, Cecily/Sedzilia. Philip
de Gay in turn appears to have been the son of a Stephen de Gay, by his wife,
Aline Pipard, the divorced wife of John le Marshal. As such, Aline de Gay was
a near step-relation to William Marshall, Earl of Pembroke.

One other comment. Sir Philip Basset was related in some manner to his wife,
Ela, Countess of Warwick. I believe that Philip's connection to Ela comes
through his grandmother, Alice Dunstanville, wife of Thomas Basset. Best
always, Douglas Richardson
