The Complete Peerage4 on the authority of Blore's Rutland (p. 228), makes Eubulo the son of a second wife of John, 1st Lord Strange of Knockin, viz. dau. and heiress of Eubulus de Montibus, of Ketton, Co. Rutland, and says that from the name it seems likely; but I know of no other authority for the existence of this second wife.

Eubulo le Strange was one of the barons who contributed to the overthrow of Mortimer and Queen Isabella in 1330, and enabled Edward III to take the reins of government into his own hands. He rewarded the services of Eubulo and Alice by a grant, made to them on 16 Feb 1331, of the manors of Colham and Edgware, Middlesex, the manor of Holborn in London, and other lands in Oxfordshire, Lincolnshire, and Northamptonshire, as also the castles of Clifford and Glasbury in Wales.1 The manor of Edgware descended to the le Stranges of Knockin, and was subsequently alienated by Richard Lord Strange in 1423, and came into the possession of Chichele; hence the original grant found its way into the Muniment Room of All Souls' College, Oxford, where it is still preserved. Richard's charter has appended to it a good impression of his seal of arms viz. gules, two lions passant, argent; above the shield is a helm with a lion statant as crest, and on either side the legend: 'S. ric : leftrange dni : de : Knokyn.' The grant to Eubulo is enrolled in the Charter Rolls, and recites that it is made in consideration of the good service rendered and to be rendered by him, and of the quit-claim made by him and Alice his wife of all her right in the lands which the King holds of her inheritance; and, further, that it is made with the consent of the prelates, earls, barons, and chief men in the King's last Parliament at Westminster.2 It was also expressly stated that the lands granted were to be held by Eubulo and Alice, and the heirs of Eubulo; which provision explains Eyton's difficulty as to why Ellesmere went to the heirs of Eubulo and not to those of his wife.
