All,

In 1275 there was an assize of mort d’ ancestor brought by Robert de Mortimer and Jocosa his wife against John son of William la Zusche, touching possessions in Petworth and Ludgershall, Sussex. (Annual Report of the Duty Keeper of Public Records. GBPRO.)
Joyce’s first husband, Nicholas de Whelton, by whom she had Felecia, was dead and Joyce/Jocosa had by ca. 1268 married de Mortimer.
William la Zouche of Essex, Joyce’s father was dead in 1272. William of Blaketorition becomes a possible candidate for the above mentioned William with son, John.
Between 1261 and 1263, William la Zuche was sheriff in Surrey and Sussex. In the 12thc. there is a grant at an annual rent of 1 lb. of pepper by (a) Alan la Scuche and Alice de Belmeis his wife to (b) William de Alta Ripa (Dawtrey) for homage and on remission to (a) of the right which (b) had in (a)'s woods (nemoribus) of Forsistnd' (sic)[probably Forestside Sussex near Petworth , Nutborn and Stopham, West Sussex]. When Alan la Zouche died in 1314, the manor of Blaketoriton was held by Emery la Zuche by knights service. Two years later, n 1316, Ameri/Emery la Zouche, son of William of Blaketorition is living at Botburne (Nutborn) Sussex.
I believe we must also consider William of Blaketoriton as a possible father of William, Archbishop of York and Roger of Lubbesthorpe. However, I am mystified by a comment in the DNB (1900), which states Archbishop Zouche’s alluded to the fact “his parents were alive in 1349.”
William of Blaketoriton was the father of Almeric, perhaps John and Alan and, according to a post by Ivor West, a Joan, who married Richard Piperell and died s.p. and another daughter who married Walter fitzWarin. I do not have the references for these citations, yet. In 1289, Emery (Almaricus) son and heir of William de la Zusche alias la Zouche Writ to Peter Heym and Robert de Radington, to enquire whether the said Emery, who is in the king’s wardship, is of full age as he says, or not 3 May 17 EI—b. c. 1266 or before.
Could this William’s wife have been a Joan?
William la Zouche of Blaketoriton was of age in 1268 when the King gave the lands of Walter de Stivechworth except Pappeworth (Papworth) to (a moiety to each) John Tibetot and William la Zouche, son of Alan la Zouche. (CPR H. 3) William (la Zouche), by license of the King, surrendered his moiety in Sneylewell(Snailswell, Cambs.), Fordham and Hyselham to Master Thomas de Leye, king’s clerk. Snailswell is four miles from Brackley. Northamptonshire Record Office: ELLESMERE (BRACKLEY) Ref. E(B) Holdings of "Elena" de Souche and Earl of Winchester in Halse, Brackley, etc.
Black Torrington (Blaketoriton) had been granted William de la Zouche by his father Alan and he died sometime between 1281 and 1289. “In 1281, William la Suche called to warranty Roger la Sushe, who stated that Black Torrington, with its market, had been held by Joelus del Meyne. It had been taken into the king’s hands and subsequently granted to Roger la Susche, his grandfather, to be held as Joelus had held it. By this argument, Roger successfully claimed the market.” In 1304, a suit is brought in Common Pleas of Trespass in the manor of Kelle near Launceston, Devon by plaintiff, Master Lewis Beaumond against the defendant, William la Zouche. Other names included King John and “A, grandfather of the defendant.” Since the preceding clearly involves William la Zouche, son of Alan and Elena la Zouche; William the son of Eudes and Millicent la Zouche not of age in 1281, an observation is the defendant is the son of William la Zouche of Blaketoriton and grandson of “A” or Ala!
n la Zouche. This William is certainly of age to have been the father of Roger of Lubbesthorpe and the identity of his wife crucial to conclusion.


Thank you for observations.
Pat
