Disputed Origins

From the profile Eudo la Zouche, Lord of Cantelou

Who were his children? Cawley in Medlands, calling him Eon, lists three children: <link>

• 1) William la Zouche, Lord of Harringworth
• 2) Eve la Zouche, married Maurice de Berkeley Lord Berkeley
• 3) Eleanor la Zouche, married John de Harcourt

If he had three daughters and two sons, that still leaves one son and one daughter. Those vying for claims to those positions include two Elizabeths (one who married Oliver de Ingham said to have been his daughter by an unnamed first wife, one Elizabeth who married Nicholas Poyntz said to be by wife Milicent), a Lucy who married Thomas de Grene of Boketon, a Roger of Lubbesthorpe, and many others.
