Subject: Maud de Lucy, wife of Nicholas de Segrave

Maud de Lucy, wife of Nicholas de Segrave, is identified as a Lucy in an old
Segrave family pedigree, presumably the one Hap refers to in the Chaucombe
Priory. Unfortunately, her parentage is not stated in the document. However,
since the rest of the pedigree appears to be sound, there is no reason to
suppose that she was not in fact a Lucy as claimed. She was evidently the
daughter of Geoffrey de Lucy, a male line descendant of Richard de Lucy the
Justiciar. There is some evidence to support a Lucy connection. As I recall,
Maud's eldest son went on a Crusade with one of the many Geoffrey de Lucy's.
Also, I've discovered that Maud's younger son held property in Essex under a
Lucy family that descends from Robert de Lucy, brother of the Justiciar. My
guess is that this property was probably Maud's maritagium and that she
settled it on her younger son. Just how the Essex property was subinfeuded to
the junior branch of the family, I have no idea.
As for Sir Richard de Lucy, the identity of his wife Rohese has never been
established. However, she evidently was a Foliot. I found a charter in which a
churchman named Richard Foliot was called cousin by Sir Richard de Lucy's son I
think. Since the Foliots are not known to be related on the Lucy side of the
family, the kinship is presumably through Sir Richard de Lucy's wife, Rohese.
I hope that helps! Sincerely, Douglas Richardson
