By his marriage with Alice de Lacy, which must have taken place at about that period, Eubulo acquired large possessions in many parts of England. Alice was the only surviving daughter and heiress of Henry de Lacy, last Earl of Lincoln of his line, and was therefore, in her own right, Countess of Lincoln, while, in that of her mother, she was also Countess of Salisbury; she had been married at the age of eleven, in 1294, to Thomas Earl of Lancaster,
son of Edmund 'Crouchback,' and grandson of Henry III, the leader of the barons of England against the favourites of Edward II, who was captured by the King's forces at Boroughbridge, and beheaded at Pomfret Castle in 1322. The personal honour of Alice does not seem to have been above reproach, though a vile story, chronicled by Thomas of Walsingham,5 and a contemporary Westminster monk, Robert of Reading,6 and quoted by Kennet,7 to the effect that Alice de Lacy was claimed as his wife in 1317 by an undersized hunchback, named Richard de St. Martin, on the ground that he had carried her off and married her before she was betrothed to the Earl of Lancaster, is at all events partly disproved by the fact of the tender age at which she was married to the said Earl. The facts seem to be that in 1317 Alice was 'abducted ' by Earl Warenne. Warenne was a man of disreputable
character, and it is pretty certain that his chief object in abducting her was to humiliate Thomas of Lancaster.1 A circumstantial account given by another contemporary chronicler, the 'Continuator of Trivet/ Edw. Hall, pp. 20-21, bears testimony to the fact that Alice did go off with some lover, but I demur to the suggestion made by Professor Tout in his 'Place of Edward II in English History/ 2 that that lover was 'a certain lame squire, Eubulo 1'Estrange.' That Alice should have left an unprincipled ruffian like Lancaster, to whom she had been married when a mere child, is small matter for wonder, and perhaps scarcely for blame, but that Eubulo should be identical with the 'cuidam armigero claudo,' spoken of by Robert of Reading, is incompatible
with his strenuous and honourable career under Edward III, and the many trusts and rewards conferred on him by that monarch. That Alice herself was for a time under a cloud, partly perhaps from her own misconduct, and still more as the widow of the traitor Thomas of Lancaster, is more than likely, and that she had to extricate herself from a weak position by paying hush-money to the Despencers and to those who wielded the powers of the Crown towards the end of the reign of Edward II; but after her marriage with Eubulo it is evident that she did succeed in reinstating herself materially, and, let us hope, morally as well.
