C.P. Addition: Margaret de Lacy, daughter of John de Lacy, M

Legg inn av Douglas Richardson » 24 okt 2005 02:34:09

Dear Newsgroup ~

The authoritative Complete Peerage, 7 (1929): 676-680 (sub Lincoln)
includes a rather full account of the history of John de Lacy, Earl of
Lincoln (died 1240), who was one of the famous Magna Carta barons.
Regarding his children, Complete Peerage states that he had a son and
heir, Edmund, afterwards Earl of Lincoln, and one daughter, Maud, who
married c. 1237 Richard, Earl of Gloucester. He also had two younger
unidentified daughters who were ordered to be sent in 1243 to Windsor
Castle to be brought up with the King's daughters [Reference: C.P. 7
(1929): 680, footnote a].

The first record below is taken from the helpful A2A Catalogue
(http://www.a2a.org.uk/search/index.asp). It consists of the abstract
of a grant issued by Hawise de Quincy, Countess of Lincoln, of her
lands at Riby, Lincolnshire to her "niece" (that is, granddaughter)
Margaret, daughter of John de Lacy, Earl of Lincoln. The grant can be
dated sometime before Hawise de Quincy's death in 1243.

The second record below is taken from the helpful online National
Archives catalogue
(http://www.catalogue.nationalarchives.gov.uk/search.asp). It
indicates that Margaret, daughter of the late John de Lacy, Earl of
Lincoln, was granted lands in Riby, Lincolnshire by Aline widow of
Geoffrey de Thorley. This grant can be dated as sometime after the
death of Earl John de Lacy in 1240.

Reviewing these two records, it is evident that John de Lacy, Earl of
Lincoln, had a legitimate daughter, Margaret de Lacy, who survived him.

To the Newsgroup:

In the Preface to the First Edition of the Complete Peerage the editior
states that it is intended that the work be an "alphabetical 'synopsis'
of the entire Hereditary Peerage, exant, extinct, or dormant, of Great
Britain and the United Kingdom, as also of Scotland and Ireland
(including such peerages as have been created for life only by chater
or patent), containing a short account of each peer, and stating also
(where it can be ascertained) the date and place of birth, baptism,
marriage, death, and burial, not only of all the peers themselves, but
of their respective wives, together with other particulars, including
the name and description of the father and mother of each peer and
peeress."

The Second Edition differed from the First primarily in that baronies
by tenure have, except in a few cases, been omitted.

The Complete Peerage was not intended to be, nor should it be used as,
a work of genealogy. It is a useful source and tool for genealogists.
Even though many entries and, more often, notes include matters beyond
their original intention, failure to include such extraneous material
should not be considered omissions.

In like manner, Farrer's _Honours and Knights Fees_, as well as his and
Clay's _Early Yorkshire Charters_, both having been found useful by
genealogists, are not genealogical works. To treat them as such is to
stretch them beyond the scope intended by their editors.

Richardson seems to consider these books to be genealogical works. His
oft used terms and phrases, such as "failed," "omitted," and
"overlooked," when he posts corrections and additions to such works
imply derogation or disparagement, whether he intends the implication
or not.

We are fortunate that our literary foreparents produced such masterful
works at times when technology made their production most tedious and
difficult. To derogate or disparage them is to demonstrate lack of
respect for the work they did. Adding sarcasm to the implication
exhibits shameful egoism.

I don't see that DR used the words "failed," "omitted," or "overlooked"
in the cited post on Margaret de Lacy, so what in heaven's name are you
carrying on about?

The post is headed "CP Addition".

While I think there is an argument that CP is a genealogical work, it's
emphasis is quite different from the normal 'Peerage' publication, in
that it seeks to trace titles rather than families. Accordingly it
doesn't normally provide details of a peer's children, other than those
integral to the succession of the title.

The information about identifying a daughter of John de Lacy, while
very interesting, is not strictly speaking a CP addition.

The post is headed "CP Addition".

Is "addition" necessarily a pejorative word in this context?

I think some of us are becoming too fussy to live ...

Even though, as Douglas noted, there is a CP footnote mentioning "two
younger, unidentified" daughters?

To the newsgroup:

I hear a familiar sound 'clique-claque, clique-claque.' Yes, it is
that of the hooves of an ass pulling a cart full of dung left by a
circus parade.

In that case, you might want to think about purchasing a house a little
further away from the circus ...
