A HISTORY OF LANCASHIRE and the founder of Lytham Priory, whom she married before 1176. Mar- gery's husband is mentioned in the Pipe Roll of 1 1 80, as owing a fine of 2^100 for the recovery of his Lancashire lands, which had been seized by the crown because he had given his eldest daughter and heir in marriage to Robert de Stockport without the king's Ucence.^ He died in 1201, and his wife was deceased in 1206.' Although the sisters Margery and Maud were daughters of Thurstan Banastre,' it is probable that they were grandchildren of the Thurstan who occurs between 1141 and 1154, and daughters of Thurstan II.,* seeing that Maud, the younger, was married before 1 168 and survived until 1222/ In 12 19 she was still a widow and had lands in Kirmington, co. Lincoln, worth ten marks per annum." In the division of their father's estates, which was not effected without recourse to the king's court,^ the Shropshire estates of Munslow and Aston fell to the share of Maud, in whose descendants, the barons of Abergavenny and earls of Pem- broke, these manors descended.* To Margery and her heirs fell the manor of Appleby, in Leicestershire, with the church, the manor of Kirkby in this county, held of the constables of Chester, together with Simonswood appur- tenant to it, and the manor of Aughton, of which the family of Waleys, or Walsh (Walensis), were undertenants' ; but so far as can be ascertained the Cheshire estates descended in the line of Robert, younger brother of Thurstan Banastre II. The skeleton pedigree given below illustrates these descents :• — Richard Banastre occurs 1 106, 1115) and iizo-8. I Thurstan Banastre I^ occurs between 1141 and 1 154.. Robert, H41-9.
