The de Lacy Family: Barons of Halton
Maud de Lacy (b. ca 1223 in Lincoln) was the 25th great-grandmother of Michael Gregory. She was married on 2 February 1238
to Richard de Clare1, the 2nd Earl of Gloucester. The mother and father of Maud were Margaret Quincy and John de Lacy.
John de Lacy was born in 1192 at Hatton, Lincolnshire. He married Margaret de Quincy in 1223 at Stanlaw, Chester. John was a
surety of the Magna Carta. He was the 7th Baron of Halton Castle and hereditary Constable of Chester.2 He was
excommunicated by the Pope for his opposition to King John. Upon the accession of King Henry III, he joined a party of
noblemen and made a pilgrimage to the Holy Land, rendering valuable service at the Siege of Damietta. In 1232, he was made
Earl of Lincoln and, in 1240, Governor of Chester and Beeston Castles. He died on 22 July 1240 and was buried in the
Cistercian Abbey of Stanlaw in co. Chester. The monk, Matthew Paris, records: “on the 22 nd day of July in this year (1240),
which was St Magdalene’s Day, John, Earl of Lincoln, after suffering from a long illness went the way of all flesh”.
John’s first wife was Alice, daughter of Gilbert d’Aquila. He had no children with her. It was after his return from Damietta that
he married Margaret, the only daughter and heir of Robert de Quincy, a fellow crusader, who had died in the Holy Land. Robert
de Quincy was the eldest son of Saire de Quincy, the latter also being a surety of the Magna Carta. John and Margaret had three
children. She survived him and married for a second time, to Walter Marshall, Earl of Pembroke, although with her second
husband there were no children.
The Lacie strongholds on the Welsh border were Beeston, Chester and Halton Castles. Beeston is now a crumbling ruin (see
lithographic illustrations below of Halton Castle and over of Beeston Castle from Ormerod’s Cheshire. Beeston Castle is perched
on a height bounded on three sides by sheer drops, and a steep slope on the fourth. Its strength as a defence lay in its
inaccessibility.

Duke of Normandy and Henry I “Beauclerk”, King of England, Family History Report.

The line of the Barons of Halton is discussed in Ormerod, “The History of Cheshire”, pp.689 et seq, from which
much of the information about the de Lacy family is drawn.

John de Lacie’s father was Roger Lizoures (b. ca 1172 in Lincoln). He changed his name to Roger de Lacy after 1190 due to his
grandmother denying him the claim to the Lizoure’s titles and estates. His grandmother was Aldreda de Lacy. Albreda was
sister to Ilbert II de Laci. She married Robert de Lizours. They had a daughter, Albreda de Lizours who married, firstly Sir
William FitzGodfrin/FitzWilliam (whose son was Earl FitzWilliam, Lord of Elmley); and secondly, Richard FitzEustace, Lord
of Halton, made the Constable of Chester, who died before 1178. Richard appears to have begun a feudal alliance with the Earls
of Chester, who became the overlords of the de Laci family. This probably began with Hugh de Meschines, the 3 rd Earl of
Chester who was pitched along with William The Lyon, King of the Scots, Robert de Beaumont, 3 rd Earl of Leicester and the
young Prince Henry against the Prince’s father, Henry II “Curtmantle”. By Richard FitzEustace, Albreda had a son, John
FitzEustace, who died in 1190 pre-deceasing his mother and leaving a son, Roger de Lizours – Michael Gregory’s ancestor.
Roger was heir to both the de Laci and FitzEustace estates but disinherited by his grandmother of the de Lizours estates and titles.
Roger married Maud de Clare and left by her two sons, John the Earl of Lincoln and Roger. His mother, Alice de Vere (de
Mandeville), was sister to William de Mandeville, Earl of Essex. John, his father was in charge of Dublin, Ireland in 1181,
during the period that Hugh de Laci was governor (Lord Palatine) of Ireland. He died in the Crusade of 1190 at Tyre, Palestine.
Prior to his death John de Lacy founded Stanlaw Abbey and the hospital of Castle Denington about 1172.
Roger was stated by many accounts to be the most remarkable man of his day and by the Welsh, his inveterate foes, was styled
“Roger Hell” for his fierce spirit during his Castle-Defiance against the King of Normandy, Philip Augustus. He waged a
ruthless war against the Welsh, his very name striking fear into the men of Cambria.
Roger expended great energies developing the Baronage of Pontefract and prospered. He ensured that it was well-maintained,
administered and flourishing. He employed at minimum a steward, general manager, a bailiff, a cook whose name was Ranulf, a
dispenser, two chamberlains and a chapel overseer. Although Roger de Lacy obtained Pontefract in 1194 after Robert II de Lacy,
his grand-uncle, and then John FitzEustace, his father, had passed away, it was not until 1204 that Roger de Lacy officially was
confirmed with the Honour of Pontefract, after the Norman campaign in which Roger held the Castle Gaillard at bay from the
Norman army of King Philip of France.
Upon the death of his father John, Roger accepted his rightful claims to the honours of Pontefract with great pride and upon this
inheritance, the Chancellor of England entrusted him with the custody of the Castles Thickhill and Nottingham. By this action
the Chancellor unwittingly contributed to the deaths of two of the King’s knights. The two warriors had conspired against Roger
and the Chancellor to surrender the castles back to King John. Roger’s fierce de Lacy spirit engaged, he ordered them hanged
forthwith. In revenge of this aggressive action by the Baron, John then ordered Roger’s lands ransacked and plundered.
Afterward, in 1199, Roger swore fealty to King John upon his ascension to the throne. From that time forward, Roger and the
King remained in high favour, one with the other.
In November 1200, Roger was chartered by King John to escort William the Lion of Scotland to Lincoln and was then ordered
present in court when William gave tribute and allegiance to King John. Later, in 1201, Roger was summoned to command 100
knights alongside of William Marshall, the Earl of Pembroke, to defend Normandy and all of John’s Norman possessions against
the aggression of the King of France.
Intrigue pervaded the court of the King behind the scenes involving the politics of the day, medieval though it was. King John
was not very popular among the established Baronies in England, partly because of the internal royal family politics, but also
because the King did not seem overly concerned with whether or not people liked him at all. He did not appear in public as an
astute politician and as such seemed to prefer the straight talk of warrior manliness. In private he much preferred the tenderness
of the fair maidens, a habit which often seemed to interfere with the duties of being a warrior king. Therefore, he did not play to
peoples favour nor to the typical kingly role. This then set the stage and provided an opportunity for those of nobility to
potentially offer exceptional support to John in some manly and courageous way, and to have that support rewarded handsomely.
Roger de Lacy seems to have been either quite shrewd and willing to risk it all, or else quite warrior-like, courageous and strongwilled, or all of these things in his engagement of the circumstances and the politics under King John. For instance, the de Laval
family had contested the de Lacy family for years for control and ownership of Pontefract, at least since King John’s grandfather,
Henry I had reigned. The de Laval’s presided over much of Pontefract, but mistakenly, they turned against King John during his
Normandy campaign. It was then, at that point in history, in the summer of 1203, that Roger de Lacy as Commander, and other
Anglo-Norman knights, defended the Castle Gaillard against the gates of Hell. In 1203, King Philip besieged Roger in castledefiance at the famous Castle Gaillard in Normandy. Roger had defended his position relentlessly for nearly a year, acting in
command to near starvation of his men and numerous civilians against an overwhelming King’s mercenary army. Getting no
help from without, Roger was bound to succumb in time. Yet the garrison, though much reduced by famine, when the outer wall
was stormed, still disputed the ground bravely, inch after inch, as they were forced to slowly retire to the middle. Only when
they found that the enemy had got inside the fortress in the rear by a sort of escalade, did they give up all for lost. On 5 March
1204, Roger was ultimately taken prisoner with great difficulty by many French knights. The King of France put him into free
custody staying an order to “run him through”, so much did he admire his fidelity, constancy and bravery. Roger was speedily
ransomed by King John of England for a thousand marks and returned to England to his family honours which were preserved,
and quickly and handsomely confirmed by King John.
Roger died in 1212 and was interred at Stanlaw Abbey, of which along with fountains, he was benefactor.
The story of Roger de Lacy’s forebears can now be related. The history begins with Ilbert de Laci (named from Lassy in
Normandy). The son of Hugh de Laci by Emma de Bois, and grandson of Ilbert Marshall de Bois L’Eveque, Ilbert came over
with William the Conqueror and was rewarded by the grant of many existing manors in Calderdale. He was born around 1050.
3
His estates in Yorkshire filled seven pages of the Domesday Book. Later, these estates came to be known as the Honour of
Pontefract. Ilbert was born at Pontefrete in Normandy from which the town of Pontefract today takes its name.
Ilbert had a brother called Walter de Laci who was an important Baron in the Welsh Marches. The de Laci family history is dealt
with at some lengths in three sources titled History of Whalley by Dr Whittaker, the Dodworth Manuscripts and a more recent
study, The Lacy Family of England and Normandy by Wighton.
Ilbert de Laci died in 1090 or 1095. He was succeeded by his son Robert I de Laci, Michael Gregory’s forebear. Robert was the
founder of the Earls of Lincoln. He was banished from England by Henry I “Beauclerk” for supporting Robert Curthose, and
was in exile for a few years. He was pardoned and returned to England where he assisted in the refoundation of a Priory to St
Oswold at Nostell. He also established a priory of the Cluniac Order (St John’s) at Pontefract and a Cluniac priory at (Monk)
Bretton. Robert de Laci is known to have held the Hundred of Blackburnshire in what is now Lancashire 3. Here, he probably
established a castle at Clitheroe. Robert also confirmed to the Abbey of Selby the manor of Hamelden (Hambledon) given by
Ilbert his father, for the soul of Hugh, Robert’s brother. Robert was banished twice, being the last of the true de Laci line, male
or female.
Others, (Dugdale) say Robert I left two sons, Ilbert and Henry and that Ilbert fought at the Battle of the Standard and married
Alice de Gaunt daughter of Gilbert de Gaunt. Ilbert died without issue and was succeeded by his brother, Henry. Henry became
the Lord of Blackburnshire. Henry was succeeded by a son, Robert II de Laci. He died in 1193 without issue. It is with this
member that Dugdale says the male line of the de Lacis died out.
Robert de Laci’s eldest son Ilbert II strongly supported King Stephen against Matilda’s claims. He fought with conspicuous
valour at the Battle of the Standard at Northallerton where the Scottish were routed. He died without issue. Ilbert’s brother and
successor, Henry de Laci distinguished himself by founding Kirkstall Abbey. He was confirmed Lord of Wakefield Manor by
King Stephen. Henry was succeeded by his son Robert II de Laci and was one of the Barons who attended Richard I’s coronation
in 1193, dying shortly after (perhaps at the Siege of Nottingham against Prince John’s forces). The estates then passed to
Henry’s half-sister, Albreda de Lizours, Michael Gregory’s ancestor. She was the daughter of Henry’s mother by her second
husband Robert de Lizours of Sprotborough. It has been questioned whether in fact she might have been Henry’s cousin and the
grand-daughter of the first Sir Robert de Laci, although this appears unlikely.
Albreda married Robert FitzEustace, Constable of Cheshire. He was born ca 1128 in Holton, Yorkshire and died in 1157. His
son, John FitzEustace, was the direct ancestor of Michael Gregory. He was born around 1150 in Clavering, Essex. He married
Alice de Mandeville, born bef. 1144 in Rycott, Oxfordshire. She was the daughter of Sir Geoffrey de Mandeville born ca 1090 at
Great Waltham. He died 14 September 1144, supposedly killed in the Fens in battle against King Stephen. His wife was Rohese
de Vere, who of course, was also an ancestor of Michael Gregory. Rohese was born ca 1103 at Hedingham in Essex. She died
after 1166.
John FitzEustace and Alice de Mandeville were the great-great grandparents of Maud Lacy, the ancestor of Michael Gregory that
connects into the Lacy line. Their son, and Maud’s grandfather was Roger de Lizours (als de Laci) whose story has been related
above.

By an interesting coincidence, some 900 years later, Michael Gregory was born in Blackburn.
