Geoffrey de Mandeville, 1st Earl of Essex married Rohese sister of Aubrey
1st Earl of Oxford and daughter of Aubrey de Ver, Chamberlain of England, by
Adelise, daughter of Gilbert FitzRichard de Clare. After Geoffrey de
Mandeville died, Rohese married Pasyn de Beauchamp with whom she founded the
Priory of Chicksand where she was buried. There is a remark she survived her
son the 2nd Earl of Essex who died in 1166.
The question is, was this Rohese then married three times? In CP Volume XIV
under Essex is no additional information.
Also _if_ Faramuse de Boulogne is an uncle of the Lucy children, could he be
a great-uncle? Also to be an uncle Faramuse can be a brother of Rohese, but
what if they are half-siblings and Rohese has a different father, and they
could brother and sister-in-law and Faramuse would still be an uncle.
