[de Vallo], who held 4 carucates and 6 bovates in the wapentake of Candleshoe. As Roger Marmion, the successor of Robert Le Despenser at Scrivelsby and other places, held nothing in this wapentake, we have here a confirmation of the views set forth.

To Hugh de la Val succeeded Guy, his son and heir, who, or another Guy, gave^[1] to the priory of Spalding the church of Addlethorpe. A Guy de la Val also presented^[2] to the church of Skegness. It seems that on the death of Hugh de la Val the Honor of Pontefract was^[3] divided, and so in 1166 we find Guy de la Val holding^[4] 20 out of the 60 fees of the Honor. In 1205 Roger de Lacy obtained the whole of the land in England which had been Guy’s.^[5]

This Roger de Lacy was son and heir of John fitz Eustace, Constable of Chester, and grandson of Richard fitz Eustace and of Albreda de Lisours his wife. Albreda’s mother was Albreda de Lacy, daughter of Robert, who obtained the manor of Ingoldmells by exchange, and sister of Ilbert de Lacy, who died without issue, and of Henry de Lacy, whose son Robert died without issue in 1194.^[6] By an agreement in 1194^[7] between Albreda de Lisours and Roger, constable of Chester, her grand­son, Roger obtained the lands which had been Robert de Lacy's, while Albreda retained the lands of Robert de Lisours, her father, for life, with remainder to William, her son by her second husband, the ancestor of the Fitzwilliams of Sprotborough.

It was Roger’s widow that held the Ingoldmells property c. 1212.^[8] His son and heir, John de Lacy, was among the north-country barons^[9] who won the Great Charter from King John. He married Margaret, daughter and heir of Robert de Quincy, by Hawise his wife, fourth sister and coheir of Ranulph Blundeville, earl of Chester and Lincoln, and was created earl of Lincoln 23 November, 1232, with remainder to the heirs of his body by Margaret his wife. John de Lacy died in 1240, and his widow married as her second husband, about 6 January, 1243, Walter Marshall,^[10] 5th earl of Pembroke, who held the Ingoldmells property in her right.
