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 1180, as owing a fine of 

 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 licence. 1 He died in 1201, and his 

 wife was deceased in I2o6. 2 Although the sisters Margery and Maud were 

 daughters of Thurstan Banastre, 3 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 I222. 5 In 1219 she was still a widow and had lands in 

 Kirmington, co. Lincoln, worth ten marks per annum. 6 In the division of 

 their father's estates, which was not effected without recourse to the king's 

 court, 7 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. 8 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 :
