Notes about Hugh de Morville, Constable of Scotland

The people on soc.genealogy.medieval do not give parents for Hugh, but they do say that Hugh is connected with the family of Simon (I have Simon as brother). Turton states that Hugh (who m. Beatrice de Beauchamp) is son of Simon who is son of Hugh. I believe Turton is wrong in that it was the Hugh who m. Hawise de Stuteville and was one of the murderers of Thomas a Becket, who is son of Simon.uly 24, 2003 11:46 AMt in saying that he was the son of Simon who married Ada de Engaine. I agree. I will use my copy of Sanders, English Baronies, p 23-24, where he discusses the descent of Burgh by Sands, co Cumberland: "Ada, married firstly, Simon de Morville. Simon d 1167, his son Hugh d 1202, leaving Ada and Joan. Ada who inherited half of the barony married, firstly, Richard de Lucy, d 1213, Lord of Egremont, co Cumberland etc..."Since we know that Hugh de Morville of Kirkoswald left two sons and a daughter, he cannot be the son of Simon who left only female heirs. I looked up your reference on soc.genealogy.medieval and did a little exploring there. A statement made by <mckenzee@@my-dejanews.com> on the subject: Hugh de Morville, dated 28 Mar 1999, says:" my understanding is that Simon de Morville was (1) the brother of Hugh the Constable, (2) father of Hugh of Burgh by Sands, and (3) uncle of the Hugh the Murderer." I think that he got it right. [Note: I think Hugh of Burgh-by-Sands is Hugh the Murderer.]86-1327, Oxford University Press, 1960. It is cited frequently in Ancestral Roots and is a good way to bridge the gap between the Domesday Survey and the Complete Peerage.r database. Thanks again for such a good product.
