With reference to Douglas Richardson's claim that
Peter Lacy (cleric of Whalley Church)was not the son
of John Lacy.

This claim is fairly obvious because of the time
frames involved. Edmund Lacy (son) John Lacy was born
1228 - mother Margaret Quincey. John Lacy's first wife
Alice died osp.

Examine the historical records of Peter and it is
obvious that he was born 1215-1220.Thus John Lacy has
to be discounted as the father.

Now consider the property and church interest of Peter
in Blackburnshire. Then go back in the records of the
Lacy Family (Wightman and Whalley Coucher Dr
Whittaker)

1143-1177 Henry I Lacy. Henry had two sons. Robert
1177-1193 Robert Lacy who died osp and Gilbert.

Whalley Coucher possesses the following information:

1160 Henry de Lascy grants church of Blackburn with
Henry de Blackburn cleric. Whittaker stresses that
this Henry is Lord of Blackburnshire.
This grant was confirmed by Richard A/B Canterbury
1171-1183.

1170/75 Geoffrey Buckley (Elder) Dean Whalley married
daughter of Henry de Lascy

The question arises - why lord of Blackburnshire
rather than lord of Pontefract. The explanation is
probably strategic. Lord of Pontefract held over 500
square miles of Lancashire and Yorkshire - expected to
defend England from the north and Scotland.

Clitheroe Castle (Blackburnshire) was an obvious
location compared to Pontefract, and no doubt the
Lacys all lived in Blackburnshire.

Henry Lacy, as mentioned , had two sons. Robert Lacy
osp 1193 who handed the honors of Pontefract to his
sister Aubrey Lisours who in turned handed the honor
to her grandson Roger who in turn changed his name to
Lacy.

However there is also Gilbert of whom I possess no
information. My guess is that Peter Lacy is a
descendant - probably a grandson of Gilbert.

Sincerely Yours,

Paul Bulkley
