Dear Newsgroup ~
I've posted below four documents which prove that Sir Richard de Lucy's
wife was named Rohese. The documents concern a grant made in 1148/51
by which Sir Richard de Lucy gave 10 shillings annually to the canons
of Holy Trinity, London, for the soul of his wife, Rohese. This grant
was subsequently confirmed by the heirs of Sir Richard's elder son,
Geoffrey de Lucy, and also by Sir Richard's younger son, Godfrey de
Lucy, Bishop of Wincester.
The information below contains additional evidence in support of the
identification of parentage of Sir Richard de Lucy's younger grandson,
Geoffrey de Lucy, found in Complete Peerage under Lucy. In one of the
documents below, Geoffrey's son, Amaury de Lucy, specifically refers to
Sir Richard de Lucy as his great-grandfather. This confirms that
Amaury's father, Geoffrey de Lucy, was a grandchild of Sir Richard de
Lucy as set forth by the editor of Complete Peerage.
John Ravilious earlier posted the evidence that I found which proves
that Rohese de Lucy was the sister of Faramus of Boulogne. For Rohese
of Boulogne's extended ancestry, please see Hal Bradley's great
database at the following web address:
