Alice Deincourt

Biography

https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Herthill-1

Alice de Herthill was the daughter of Adam de Herthill of Derbyshire. Based on the fact that Alice was alive in 1283, she was probably born sometime after 1208. if, as Fould's suggests, she had a son who was alive in 1337[1] (and thus would have been born in 1257 if he was 80 then), she was probably born after 1217.

Alice married Roger Deyncourt,[1] sometime in 1235-1242. The fact of the marriage and the date of the marriage are established by a grant by Adam de Hertehill (who died in 1242) to Roger son and heir of Roger de Ayncurt (who died in 1235) of land in Danethorp in connection with Roger's marriage to Adam's daughter Alice.[2] Foulds suggests that the marriage may have been Alice's second,[1] and, based on the fact that Roger was probably at least 27 at the time of the marriage, it was probably Roger's second marriage as well.

Alice and Roger had the following children (and perhaps others):

1. John, b. sometime in 1242-1262, d. before shortly before June 18, 1322
2. Roger, parson of Ashover, living in 1337(!?)[1]

Alice's husband, Roger, probably died about 1263.[3]

Based on her being mentioned as a living person in a record dated 1283, Alice died sometime after that date.[4][5]

Notes

“Danethorpe Church, History," Southwell & Nottingham Church History Project link

The Herthill family had a major early involvement in the place but Adam de Herthill gave Roger Deyncourt and Alice his wife all his land and interests in Danethorpe sometime around the middle of the 13th century. In c1263, Alice, wife of the recently deceased Roger Deyncourt, along with Roger de Brettevile and Amabilia his wife, gave their interests to Thurgarton Priory, which was subsequently confirmed by a charter of Richard de Herthill.
