Mortimer and Vipont of Aberdour.
I am searching for a John de Veteriponte or Vipont who must have lived
before 1126, which year his daugther Anicea married Alan Mortimer,
Anicea brought her husband the place Aberdour Castle and Lands.
Who were the ancestors of Anicea and how exactly did the generations
before and after Alan Mortimer go?
If Alan and Anicea should be placed around 1320 would that be more
acurate, and why did the daugthters of Roger Mortimer of Foulis call
themselves Heirs of Aberdour, was this Roger a son of Alan or perhaps a
brother.
Sincerely Allan M. Andersen, Denmark.

Allan,
The English and Scottish Viponts are the same family. They descend from
William de Veteriponte who gave ploughgate of land in Carriden to Jedburgh
Abbey. Ca. 1163 there were two William V. of "Carriden"
1329 Anicia de V.Daughter of Sir John of Carriden, near Bo'ness, west of
Edinburgh. Married [Alan?]Mortimer taking Aberdour, near Dunfermline, Fife,
with her.
The Viponts are a complicated lot with Williams, Johns, Roberts adding to
the conundrum. I have followed the Carriden land and even though I do not
have all the specific generations, would believe Sir John is from this line.

Ginny,
This is fabulous information. Thank you and yes, I would like more detail.
In Power's The Norman Frontier in the Twelfth and Early Thirteenth
Centuries, the Viponts of Courville, while, related are separated from the
English line. He places the Robert who d. ca. 1083-6 as the progenitor of
the Courville lords. I have notes that would question this, however, more
research is needed. In that family there is a Robert III d. 1203 who m. Mary
de Chatillon who may be ref. 2 but then Robert V. of England was a powerful
lord and one of King John's favorites.
