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

 1220— 1225, 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." In addition to John, his eldest 

 son, he had issue Roger, who in 121 5 was in the custody of the queen as a

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

 course, a grotesque error, seeing that Bevis de Clare, alias de Fairfax, was treasurer of York from 1285 to about
