Maud, the wife of Roger, survived her husband, and was living about 

 12201225, having had assigned to her in dower 28 librates of land in 

 Ingoldmells and Holton le Moor, co. Lincoln, besides the demesne manors 

 which belonged to the honour of Pontefract. 11 In addition to John, his eldest 

 son, he had issue Roger, who in 1215 was in the custody of the queen as a 

 hostage, 19 and subsequently of the earl of Chester. 18

Testa de Nev ill (Rec. Com.), 348^, 370. The statement, which originated in the Historia Laceiorum 

 (Man. Angl. vi. 315), that Roger de Lacy's wife was Maud, sister of [Bevis] de Clare, treasurer of York, is, of'
