; Complete Peerage, 8 (1932): 71 (sub Lisle) has a good account of the
life history of Warin de Lisle (died 1296), of Campton, Bedfordshire,
Rampton, Cambridgeshire, etc. Regarding his wife, Alice de Montfort,
the following information is provided:

"He married Alice, daughter of Sir Piers de Montfort, of Beaudesert,
co. Warwick. He [Warin] died shortly before 7 December 1296. His
widow had dower assigned to her 18 Feb. 1296/7. She married (grant of
her marriage 10 May 1308), as his 3rd wife, Robert (FitzWalter), Lord
FitzWalter. In 1315 she was going on a pilgrimage to Santiago, and in
1317 she went abroad with her husband. He died 18 January 1325/6."

Complete Peerage, 5 (1926): 474 (sub Fitzwalter) adds the following
information regarding Alice de Montfort and her 2nd husband, Sir Robert
Fitz Walter, Lord Fitz Walter:

"On 1 Sept. 1312 he had license to convey the manor of Little Dunmow to
himself and Alice, his wife, and the heirs of their bodies, with
remainder to his right heirs, and, 6 Oct. 1315, license to convey the
manor of Wimbish in the same terms."

The published Feet of Fines for Essex, Volume II (published 1913-1928)
have four fines which mention Robert Fitz Walter and his wife, Alice,
which items were overlooked by Complete Peerage:

pg. 127. Date: Hilary term, 3 Edward II [1310]. Robert son of Walter
and Alice his wife, pl. by John Dyen in her place. William de
Thrandeston, def. 1 messuage, 38 acres of land, 3 acres of meadow, 3
acres of wood, 18 acres of pasture and 2s. of rent in Woodham Water,
which William de Creye and Margery his wife hold for her life of the
inheritance of def. Pl. and the heirs of Robert of the body of Alice
to hold the reversion of the chief lords, with remainder to the right
heirs of Robert. This agreement was made in the presence of William
and Margery, who acknowledged that they had no claim in the tenements
except for life of Margery, and quitclaimed to pl. and their said
heirs. Endorsed: Amicia late the wife of Hugh le Parker puts in her
claim.

pg. 146. Date: Trinity term, 6 Edward II [1312]. Robert son of Walter
and Alice his wife, pl. by Henry Moun in her place. John de Leukenore
and Alice his wife, def. 120 acres of land, 2 acres of meadow, 2 acres
of wood and a fifth part of 1 messuage and 60s. rent in Suthemenstre,
Alethorn and Burnham. Robert acknowledged the tenements to be the
right of Alice wife of John, and for this def. granted them to pl. and
the heirs of Robert of the body of Alice his wife to hold of the chief
lords, with remainder to his right heirs.

pg. 189. Date: Trinity term, 12 Edward II [1319]. Robert son of
Walter and Alice his wife, pl. Thomas de Coulyng, def. The manor of
Little Dunmagh [Little Dunmow]. Robert acknowledged the manor to be
the right of def. as that which def. has of his gift, and for this def.
granted it to pl. and the heirs of their bodies to hold of the King and
his heirs, with remainder to the right heirs of Robert. This agreement
was made by precept of the King.

pg. 189. Date: Trinity term, 12 Edward II [1319]. Robert son of
Walter and Alice his wife, pl. Thomas de Coulyng, def. The manor of
Wymbyssh. Settlement as in the previous fine.

The above fines prove that Alice de Montfort, widow of Warin de Lisle,
married (2nd) before Hilary term, 3 Edward II [1310] to Robert Fitz
Walter, Lord Fitz Walter, and that she was still living as late as
Trinity term, 12 Edward II 1319]. Alice clearly seems to have child
bearing age at the time of the marriage, as all four fines above
specifically settle property on Alice and her 2nd husband, with
remainder to their issue. As such, Alice would presumably have been
born no earlier than circa 1270.

Complete Peerage, 8 (1932): 71 (sub Lisle) fails to identify which
Peter de Montfort, of Beaudesert, Warwickshire, was the father of Alice
(de Montfort) (de Lisle) Fitz Walter. However, in the addenda and
corrigenda volume, C.P. 14 (1998): 443 (sub Lisle), it is stated that
Alice was the daughter of Sir Peter de Montfort (died 1287), of
Beaudesert, Warwickshire, "by Maud, daughter and heiress of Matthew de
la Mare [see vol. ix, p. 127, sub Montfort]." While the correct Sir
Peter de Montfort is identified there as Alice's father, the
identification of her mother is partly in error. Alice's mother was
Maud, daughter and heiress of Henry de la Mare, Knt., of Ashtead,
Surrey, not Matthew de la Mare. For a lengthy discussion of Maud de la
Mare's correct parentage, please refer to my book, Magna Carta Ancestry
(2005), pg. 513.

Lastly, Complete Peerage, 8 (1932): 71 (sub Lisle) states that Alice de
Montfort's son and heir, Robert de Lisle, was born 20 January 1287/8,
which date is based on his proof of age. However, in three
inquisitions taken in Dec. 1296 and Jan. 1297 immediately following his
father's death, Robert is stated to then be aged 6 years and more, or
age 6 on the feast of SS. Fabian and Sebastian next [20 January 1297]
[Reference: Calendar of Inquisitions Post Mortem, 3 (1912): 331-332].
This would place Robert de Lisle's birth as being circa 20 January
1291. Complete Peerage sub Lisle comments in passing on the
discrepancy in birthdates between the inquisitions and proof of age in
footnote "l" on page 71. However, no attempt is made to explain how or
why Robert's age could have been mistaken when taken by jurors in three
different counties, especially when the king was depending on them to
provide him accurate information on this very detail. The jurors
surely should have been able to distinguish between a 5 or 6 year old
child, and one that was aged 9.

For interest's sake, the following is the list of colonial New World
immigrants who descend from Alice (de Montfort) (de Lisle) Fitz Walter:

1. Henry Fleete.
2. Henry & William Randolph.
3. Hawte Wyatt.
