  The manor of Olney, on the borders of Buckinghamshire and Northamptonshire, formed part of the inheritance of Hugh de Albini, Earl of Arundel, a fourth part of whose lands descended to his sister Nicola, the mother of Joan de Somery, wife of John le Strange (IV). Joan, as we have seen in the last chapter,2 had three sisters, so a fourth part of the above fourth, i.e. one-sixteenth of the whole manor, came to John (V) in right of his mother. This was not divisible until her death, which must have taken place in 1282, ...

Notities over Joan de Somery

I have mentioned 5 that Joan, the wife of John le Strange (IV), did not obtain her share of the Albini lands which she inherited from her mother Nicola until after the death of her father, Roger de Somery, in 1273, as he held them for life by the courtesy of England ; but Joan and her sisters appear to have made a claim two years before her father's death to some other lands inherited by them from their maternal grandmother, Mabel, one of the four sisters and co-heiresses of Ranulph le Meschin, Earl of Chester.6 The inquisitions post-mortem of Henry III contain a writ 'ad plenum certiorari,' dated January 26, 1271,1 on the petition of Ralph de Crumwell and Margaret his wife, John le Strange and Joan his wife, Walter de Suly and Mabel his wife, and Henry de Erdington and Maud his wife, concerning the lands (unspecified) which were of Clemence, sometime Countess of Chester, and were taken into the King's hands upon her death by reason of the minority of her heir, Ralph de Somery, lately deceased, of whom the said Margaret, Joan, Mabel, and Maud claim to be the heirs. The inquest has unfortunately not been preserved, and I am inclined to suspect that some mistake has been made in the writ as to Ralph de Somery, as I cannot understand either how he could have been the heir of Clemence Countess of Chester, or how Margaret, Joan, Mabel, and Maud could have been his
heirs. Clemence Countess of Chester was the second wife of Ranulph le Meschin, Earl of Chester, who died s.p. October 26, 1232; she was the daughter of William de Fougeres by Agatha, sister of William de Humez, constable of Normandy, and survived her husband twenty years, dying in 1252. What lands she possessed is not apparent, and the writ above quoted does not specify them, but Burke 2 says that Ranulph acquired with her, not only a large accession of lands in France, but also some extensive manors in England. These lands would have gone to their four daughters, the second of whom, Mabel, married William de Albini, Earl of Arundel, and was the mother of Nicola de Albini, the wife of Roger de Somery, whose daughter, Joan, married John le Strange (IV). The line of descent will be better understood by a glance at the pedigree on opposite page.
