    WALTER de Lacy, son of HUGH de Lacy Lord of Meath & his first wife Rose de Monmouth ([1172]-before 24 Feb 1241).¬â€  The Chronicle of Tintern Abbey, Monmouthshire records that "Gilbertus de Lacy" had a son "Hugonem" who had "filium Walterum"[872].¬â€  The Red Book of the Exchequer, listing scutage payments in [1190/91], records "Walterus de Lascy" paying "xxv l xii s vi d" in Herefordshire[873].¬â€  The Red Book of the Exchequer, listing scutage payments in [1194/95], records "Walterus de Lascy" paying "li l v s, li milites et quartam" in Herefordshire[874].¬â€  ·ÄúWalterus de Lacy filius Hugonis de Lacy·Äù confirmed his father¬¥s donation to Lanthony Abbey by undated charter[875].¬â€  A manuscript which narrates the descents of the founders of Lanthony Abbey names ·ÄúHugo·Ä¶et Walterus frater eius·Äù as the sons of ·ÄúGilbertus de Lacy·Äù[876] but, as noted above, this is chronologically improbable.¬â€  Lord of Meath.¬â€  King John addressed letters to "Walter, Hugh and Robert de Lascy·Ä¶" dated 23 May 1207[877].¬â€  The Annals of Dunstable record that ·ÄúHugonem de Laci et Walterum fratrem eius·Äù were exiled from Ireland in Aug 1210 by King John[878].¬â€  The Red Book of the Exchequer records "Walterus de Lascy" holding two knights¬¥ fees "in Hamme" in Hereford in [1210/12][879].¬â€  A charter dated 5 Jul 1215 records an agreement between King John and "Walter de Lascy" for restoration of his land in Ireland[880].¬â€  An undated charter of Henry III King of England confirmed a donation by ·ÄùWalterus de Lacy·Äù to the Hospital of Ludlow, Shropshire, for the souls of ·ÄúMargeri√¶ uxoris me√¶·Ä¶Gilberti de Lacy filii mei·Äù[881].¬â€  "Walterus de Lacy" confirmed the donation by "Margeria uxor mea" to Acornbury priory, Herefordshire by charter dated to [1220/25], witnessed by ·Äúdomino Willielmo de Lascy, domino Simone de Clifford, priore de Careswell, Egidio de Clifford·Ä¶·Äù[882].¬â€  A charter of King Edward II dated 26 Jan 1326 confirmed donations to Lanthony Abbey, among which a donation by ·ÄúWalterus de Lacy filius Hugonis de Lacy·Äù for the soul of ·Äúdomin√¶ Margeri√¶ uxoris me√¶·Äù[883].¬â€  Matthew Paris names "·Ä¶Walterus de Lascy·Ä¶" among those who died in 1241[884].¬â€ 
    m MARGERY de Briouse, daughter of WILLIAM de Briouse & his wife Mathilde de Saint-Val√©ry Dame de la Haye (-after 1255).¬â€  A manuscript which narrates the descents of the founders of Lanthony Abbey records that ·ÄúWalterus·Äù, son of ·ÄúGilbertus de Lacy·Äù, married ·ÄúMargeriam filiam Matildis de S. Walerico, quondam uxoris Willielmi de Brewes·Äù[885].¬â€  This wording suggests that Margery may have been her mother¬¥s daughter by an earlier marriage, not the daughter of William de Briouse, although no other primary source has yet been identified which suggests that Maud married twice.¬â€  Nevertheless, the Annals of Worcester record that King John exiled ·ÄúWalterum de Lacy·Äù in 1211 because he would not repudiate ·Äúuxorem suam, filiam W. de Breaus·Äù[886].¬â€  A charter of King Edward II dated 26 Jan 1326 confirmed donations to Lanthony Abbey, among which a donation by ·ÄúWalterus de Lacy filius Hugonis de Lacy·Äù for the soul of ·Äúdomin√¶ Margeri√¶ uxoris me√¶·Äù[887].¬â€  King John granted land "in foresta nostra de Acornebur" to "Margaret de Lascy" to build a religious house, for the souls of "W. de Breusa patris sui, Matillid matris sue et W. fratris sui", dated 10 Oct 1216[888].¬â€  "Walterus de Lacy" confirmed the donation by "Margeria uxor mea" to Acornbury priory, Herefordshire by charter dated to [1220/25], witnessed by ·Äúdomino Willielmo de Lascy, domino Simone de Clifford, priore de Careswell, Egidio de Clifford·Ä¶·Äù[889].¬â€  An undated charter of Henry III King of England confirmed a donation by ·ÄùWalterus de Lacy·Äù to the Hospital of Ludlow, Shropshire, for the souls of ·ÄúMargeri√¶ uxoris me√¶·Ä¶Gilberti de Lacy filii mei·Äù[890].¬â€  A charter dated 10 Oct 1241 ordered her dower to be assigned to "Margery who was the wife of Walter de Lacy"[891].¬â€ 
    Walter & his wife had [seven or more] children:¬â€ 
    1.¬â€ ¬â€ ¬â€ ¬â€ ¬â€ ¬â€ ¬â€ ¬â€  GILBERT de Lacy of Ewyas Lacy, Herefordshire (-[12 Aug/25 Dec] 1230, bur Lanton, Wales).¬â€  The Chronicle of Tintern Abbey, Monmouthshire records that "Gilbertus de Lacy" had a son "Hugonem" who had "filium Walterum", who in turn had "filium Gilbertum de Lacy"[892].¬â€  A manuscript which narrates the descents of the founders of Lanthony Abbey names ·ÄúGilbertus de Lacy·Äù as son of ·ÄúWalterus de Lacy·Äù and his wife[893].¬â€  An undated charter of Henry III King of England confirmed a donation by ·ÄùWalterus de Lacy·Äù to the Hospital of Ludlow, Shropshire, for the souls of ·ÄúMargeri√¶ uxoris me√¶·Ä¶Gilberti de Lacy filii mei·Äù[894].¬â€  The Annals of Tewkesbury record the death in 1230 of ·ÄúGilebertus de Lacy filius et h√¶res Walteri de Lacy·Äù and his burial ·Äúapud Lantone in Wallia·Äù[895].¬â€  The Annals of Worcester record the death in 1230 of ·ÄúGilbertus de Lacy·Äù[896].¬â€  m as her first husband, ISABEL, daughter of [HUGH Bigod Earl of Norfolk & his wife Maud Marshal of Pembroke] ([after 1207]-).¬â€  The sources which report the parentage of the wife of Gilbert de Lacy are conflicting.¬â€  A manuscript which narrates the descents of the founders of Lanthony Abbey records that ·ÄúGilbertus de Lacy·Äù married ·ÄúIsabell√¶ Mareschal·Äù[897], presumably confusing her with Isabel daughter of William Marshal Earl of Pembroke who married firstly Gilbert de Clare Earl of Gloucester and Hereford and secondly Richard Earl of Cornwall.¬â€  The Chronicle of Tintern Abbey, Monmouthshire names "Isabella soror Johannis" as daughter of ·ÄùRogerus sive Radulphus Bigod, secundus filius Hugonis le Bigod com. Norfolke et Suffolke·Ä¶·Äù and his wife ·ÄúBertam de Fornivale·Äù, adding that she married firstly "Gilberto de Lacy" and secondly "Johanni Fitz-Geffrey"[898].¬â€  This must also be incorrect, as any children of Ralph Bigod could not have been born before the late 1220s at the earliest, which is inconsistent with the timing of Isabel¬¥s first marriage.¬â€  If Isabel was a member of the Bigod family, she must have been the daughter of Hugh and Maud Marshal of Pembroke.¬â€  This is the solution adopted by the Complete Peerage[899], although the primary source on which this is based has not yet been identified.¬â€  She married secondly Sir John FitzGeoffrey.¬â€  Gilbert & his wife had three children:¬â€ 
    a)¬â€ ¬â€ ¬â€ ¬â€ ¬â€ ¬â€ ¬â€ ¬â€  WALTER de Lacy (-[15 May 1238/1241]).¬â€  The Chronicle of Tintern Abbey, Monmouthshire names "Walterus de Lacy" as the son "Gilberto de Lacy" and his wife, adding that he died young[900].¬â€  His paternal grandfather recognised Walter as his heir 15 May 1238[901].¬â€ 
    b)¬â€ ¬â€ ¬â€ ¬â€ ¬â€ ¬â€ ¬â€ ¬â€  MARGERY de Lacy (-before 1256).¬â€  The Chronicle of Tintern Abbey, Monmouthshire names "Margeria et Matilda" as the daughters and co-heiresses of "Gilberto de Lacy" and his wife, adding that Margery married "Johanni de Verdon" (and lists three generations of their descendants)[902].¬â€  A manuscript which narrates the descents of the founders of Lanthony Abbey names ·ÄúMargeria, uxor Johannis de Verdon·Äù as daughter and heiress of ·ÄúGilbertus de Lacy·Äù, son of ·ÄúWalterus de Lacy·Äù, and also lists their descendants[903].¬â€  A charter dated 14 May 1244 restored to "John de Verdun and Margaret his wife, granddaughter and one of the heirs of Walter de Lascy, and to Peter de Geneve and Matilda his wife, granddaughter and another of Walter¬¥s heirs, all the lands in Meath whereof Walter was seised at his death"[904].¬â€  m (before 14 May 1244) as his first wife, JOHN de Verdun, son of THEOBALD Butler [Le Botiller] & his second wife Rohese de Verdun of Alton, Staffordshire ([1226]-before 17 Oct 1274).¬â€ 
    c)¬â€ ¬â€ ¬â€ ¬â€ ¬â€ ¬â€ ¬â€ ¬â€  MATILDA de Lacy (1230 or before-11 Apr 1304).¬â€  The Chronicle of Tintern Abbey, Monmouthshire names "Margeria et Matilda" as the daughters and co-heiresses of "Gilberto de Lacy" and his wife, adding that Matilda married "Gaufrido de Genyvile" (and naming her son and grandchildren)[905].¬â€  A manuscript which narrates the descents of the founders of Lanthony Abbey names ·ÄúMatildis·Äù as second daughter and heiress of ·ÄúGilbertus de Lacy·Äù, son of ·ÄúWalterus de Lacy·Äù, adding that she married ·ÄúGalfridi de Geneville·Äù, and also lists their descendants[906].¬â€  A charter dated 19 Feb 1244 relates to the inheritance of "W. de Lacy in·Ä¶comitatu [Hereford]" by "Matillidi uxori Petri de Geneva, neptem et unicam heredem predicti Waltheri" and "sorori ipsius Matillidis"[907].¬â€  A charter dated 14 May 1244 restored to "John de Verdun and Margaret his wife, granddaughter and one of the heirs of Walter de Lascy, and to Peter de Geneve and Matilda his wife, granddaughter and another of Walter¬¥s heirs, all the lands in Meath whereof Walter was seised at his death"[908].¬â€  Her first marriage is confirmed by Matthew of Paris who names "Matildam elegantem filiam Walteri de Lasey in Hybernia" as wife of "Petrus de Geneure natione Provincialis·Ä¶" when recording her husband's death in 1249[909].¬â€  Henry III King of England granted "Geoffroy de Joinville et Mahaut de Lacy sa femme" rights in the land of Meath held by "Gautier de Lacy, grand-p√®re de Mahaut" by charter dated 8 Aug 1252[910].¬â€  ·ÄúGaufridus de Genvyle dominus de Vaucolour miles et Matildis de Lacy filia Gileberti Lacy uxor eius·Äù donated property to Dore Abbey by undated charter, witnessed by ·ÄúJohanne de Vaucolour milite·Ä¶·Äù[911].¬â€  An order dated 16 Jan 1283 records "recognizance by Geofferey de Geneville, Matilda his wife and Peter their eldest son" to "William de Valence" for the commission of lands of ·ÄúMaurice FitzGerald in Ireland, deceased·Äù and for the marriage of ·ÄúGerald son and heir of the said Maurice, under age, and in custody of the said William·Äù[912].¬â€  "Geoffroy seigner de Vaucouleurs" divided his territories with ·ÄúGautier son fils a√Æn√©·Äù, with the consent of ·ÄúMahaut sa femme et de ses autres enfants...Simon, Nicolas, Pierre, Guillaume et Jeanne comtesse de Salmes·Äù, by charter dated 1294[913].¬â€  m firstly (before 19 Feb 1244) PIERRE de Gen√®ve, son of HUMBERT Comte de Gen√®ve & his wife --- (-1249).¬â€  m secondly (1252 before 8 Aug) GEOFFROY de Joinville Seigneur de Vaucouleurs, son of SIMON Seigneur de Joinville & his second wife Beatrix d'Auxonne [Bourgogne-Comt√©] (-Trim 21 Oct 1314). ¬â€
