Her husband, Richard de Lucy "The Loyal" , Justiciar of England shows 1089-1179.

3. RICHARD2 DE LUCY (ADRIAN1) was born Abt. 1110 in (originally from) Lucé, near Domfront, Normandy, France., and died 14 July 1179 in Lesnes Abbey, Erith, Kent, England - buried in the Chapter House of his Abbey. Although Lesnes Abbey no longer exists, his tomb could still be seen in 1630, and upon the belt of the figure of a knight the fleur-de-lis, the rebus or name device of the Lucys was sculptured in many places.

He married ROESIA (ROHAISE, RAHEIS OR ROYSIA) of BOULOGNE Abt. 1130, it is believed in Thorney Green, Suffolk, England. She was born Abt. 1110, it is believed, in Carshalton, Surrey, England and died 1148-1151 and was buried in the Priory of Holy Trinity or Christchurch, Aldgate, London.

This is confirmed in a sealed charter of gift dated 1151 of 20/- to the Church from his rent of Newington in Kent. Faversham Abbey, Kent has also been suggested as the burial place of Richard de Lucy's wife, which was built by Stephen and Matilda to found a royal mausoleum for the House of Blois. They hoped that the dynasty would rule over England for generations to come. In fact it began, and ended, with them.


I’ll adjust the profile to those dates.
