He succeeded as Comte d'Aumale in the [1195/96], of the place of his wife . ii) [ FRIENDLY . By order dated 4 May 1278, " John de Aston " relinquished his claim, in return for four knights' fees, to " the earldom of Albemarle and in all his right in the lands in England of the brave that at any time belonged to Alina, John de Fort, Thomas of the brave, William de fort, and William le Gros sometime Earl of Albemarle and to Hawisia his daughter "and" with all the right of Friend, Constance and Ranulph, John's ancestors, and of others to them and their ancestors, both in England and in Normandy " [779] . The Complete Peerage states that " John d'Eston [Eshton, Yorkshire] " claimed descent from " Avice, daughter as he averred " of Guillaume "Le Gros" Comte d'Aumale [780] . The order dated 4 May 1278 indicates his descent, presumably through Constance, supposed daughter of Friend, and Ranulph, supposed son of Constance (although these relationships are not specified in the order). No indication has been found of the identity of the supposed husbands of Friend or of her supposed daughter Constance. Sir CG Young suggested that the whole of the claim by John Ashton was a fiction to give the king " a colourable pretense for retaining the honor in his own hand, as by admitting the fictitious claim, and then purchasing it from him, he shut out the real claim that might have been justly made ​​by Wivelby (see below) " [781] . Young also points out that, if the claim had been valid, John of Ashton would have been the heir to all the honor of Albemarle and all the lands in Craven which were inherited from Amici's supposed mother, and that it seems incredible that he would have relinquished such wealth which was valued at only one hundred pounds annually for compensation.] Comte Guillaume had one illegitimate child by an unknown mistress: iii) Geoffroy . " Cecily Countess of Albamarlie " donated land " between the Esc and Haverigg Kirkesantan ... ... and Thueites and Duden " to St Bees, and confirmed the donation of " the church of Gosford " made ​​by " W [illelmi] of my brother ", by undated charter, witnessed by " Geoffrey, son of the count ... " [782] . Geoffroy must have been illegitimate as there is no record of his having inherited from his father the county of Aumale. b) Enguerrand d'Aumale (-after 1150). " William earl of Albemarle " founded Melsa Abbey, for the soul of " my brother's Hingeram ", by undated charter witnessed by " Hingeram brother of the count " [783] . The chronology, as well as the names of the individuals concerned, suggests that Enguerrand may have been the same person as Enguerrand Vicomte d'Aumale who, with his son Etienne, is named in a charter of Lannoy Abbey dated 1155 (see Part E below ). c) [---. m ---. One possible child:] i) [ Euphemia . Her origin is indicated by the charter dated to [1150/60] under which " W. comes Albemarle "granted property to" Eufemie the granddaughter of my wife of Robert de Brus " [784] . Domesday Descendants speculates that she was the daughter of Guillaume's brother Enguerrand [785] , although there seems no reason to choose one of his brothers over any of the others. Another possibility is that she was the daughter of Guillaume's sister Mathilde, whose husband is recorded with a sister named Euphemie Guermond de Picquigny. " Robert de Brus " notified his donation to the Hospital of St Peter, York by charter dated to [1150/70 ], witnessed by " the mistress of Eufemia ... " [786] . m of Robert Bruce, Lord of Annandale , son of Robert de Brus, Lord of Annandale & Skelton and his first wife Agnes de Payanell (after [1170/90]).] d) ETIENNE d'Aumale (-after 1150). " William earl of Albemarle " donated property to Meaux, Abbey, for the souls of " my brother's, and Stephen Hingeram " [787] . This document does not state that Etienne was another brother of Guillaume but this is implied from the text. Sir CG Young recorded that "Wivelby" (referring to Philip de Wyvelesby [788] ) proved his descent from Etienne (incorrectly called " Simon " in the Complete Peerage [789] ), brother of Guillaume "Le Gros" Comte d'Aumale [ 790] . e) daughter . A manuscript history of the foundation of Melsa Abbey records that " William " had " the four sisters, and the daughters of Stephen, " who married " ... one of the Pynkeney vicedomino, and the other ... vicedomino of Verberay, ... Bertanno of Brikebet the third, the fourth, and later William de Romare Peter de Brus " [791] . m to Richard of Gerberoy , son of ---. f) Adelisiad'Aumale (-before [1168] [792] ). A manuscript history of the foundation of Melsa Abbey records that " William " had " the four sisters, and the daughters of Stephen, " who married " ... one of the Pynkeney vicedomino, and the other of the Verberay ... vicedomino , and the third of the Brikebet ... Bertanno, and the fourth, William of Rome, and came afterwards to Peter de Brus " [793] . " Adeliza daughter of [Stephen] count Albemar " donated property to the abbey of Saint-Sauveur-le-Vicomte for the souls of " Engelger her husband and her son Robert Bertrand " by charter dated to [1151/77] [794] . m firstly ROBERT [2] Bertran Seigneur de Briquebec, son of Robert [1] Bertran "le torse" & his wife Suzanne ---. m secondly as his second wife, INGELGER de Bohun , son of Richard & his wife Lucie de Meri --- (- [1172]). g) [ MATHILDE / BEATRIX ] d'Aumale . A manuscript history of the foundation of Melsa Abbey records that " William " had " the four sisters, and the daughters of Stephen, " who married " ... one of the Pynkeney vicedomino, and the other ... vicedomino of Verberay, ... Bertanno of Brikebet the third, the fourth, and later William de Romare Peter de Brus " [795] . The chronology suggests that the husband of the sister who married " vicedomino de Pynkeney " was Gerard de Picquigny, but it is not known whether it was his first or second wife. The date of her parents' marriage ( "before [1100") suggests that she may have been his first wife, whose name was Mathilde: Gerard de Picquigny granted tithes of salt at " Wimering " to Southwick priory, for the souls of his parents and his wife Matilda, and for the salvation of himself and his heirs, by charter dated [1160/65] [796] . The distinction between the two groups of beneficiaries suggests that Mathilde was deceased at the time of the donation. On the other hand the marriage date of her sister Agnes ( "after 1143") suggests that her identity as Gérard's second wife can not be excluded. The name of Gerard's second wife was Beatrix: Dair indicates that Beatrice, wife of Gerard de Picquigny " paroît dans les Charte en 1154 " but provides no primary source citations [797] . M [as his first / second wife,] Gerard de Picquigny Vidame d'Amiens , son of GUERMOND [2] & his wife Beatrix de Picquigny Vidame d'Amiens --- (-1178, bur Abbaye du Gard). h) AGNES d'Aumale. A manuscript history of the foundation of Melsa Abbey records that " William " had " the four sisters, and the daughters of Stephen, " who married " ... one of the Pynkeney vicedomino, and the other ... vicedomino of Verberay, ... Bertanno of Brikebet the third, the fourth, and later William de Romare Peter de Brus " [798] . Secondary sources often indicate that Agnes's husband was in fact the man [1] de Brus . This conclusion is based not only on the assumption that the manuscript history mistook " Peter, " for " the man ", but also that it reversed the order of Agnes's marriage: the birth date of Isabel, daughter of Adam [2] de Brus (son of Adam [1]), estimated to [1168/70] on the basis of her first marriage in [1180], suggests the likelihood that the man [2] was born before 1143 (approximate date of Agnes's marriage to William de Roumare) rather than after 1151 (date of death of William de Roumare). As a general principle, it appears preferable to find ways of confirming that a primary source is factually correct rather than justifying why it is in error. No other primary source has yet been identified which names Agnes as the wife of Adam, or as the mother of his children. In addition, as noted in the document Scotland King, Peter [1] de Brus was named in a charter dated to [1155/65]. It is therefore possible that the manuscript history is factually correct and that Agnes d'Aumale married Peter as her second husband, presumably as his second wife considering his likely age by that time. While waiting for other primary source information to emerge, this appears to be a safer Interim conclusion compared with assuming that the manuscript history made ​​two factual errors, relating to the name of Agnes's Brus husband and to the order of her marriage.
