  • Notes 
    • From Stirnet:

      Beatrice's second marriage (which is not mentioned in the Mallet web site) is based on the presumption that the following Lucy was the offspring of such a marriage.

      According to TCP, which dedicates a whole Appendix to 'the Countess Lucy" (Appendix J in Volume VII), her parentage "is one of the unsolved puzzles of genealogy". It reports an early chronicle as saying that "she was a daughter of Aelfgar, Earl of Mercia, and niece or grandniece of Thorold, sometime Sheriff of co. Lincoln".

      HOWEVER, TCP also says "All that is certainly known is that she was niece of Robert Malet of Eye and of Alan of Lincoln, and that Thorold the Sheriff was a kinsman." TCP then reports the view that she was daughter of Thorold, Sheriff of Lincolnshire.

      There appear to be arguments for both theories, both of which make reference to the inheritance of various lands.

      We show her here because at least some 'serious' modern genealogists seem to lean strongly towards the view that she was daughter of Sheriff Thorold (Turold of Bucknell) by a daughter of William de Malet.

      As it is suggested in various web sites that William de Malet had only one daughter, Beatrice, and as it appears to be certain that she was married to William of Arques, it is assumed that she married twice.
