The Dribys were fairly inconsequential. However, for being so
inconsequential, they made some extremely advantageous marriages.
1. Alice de Driby = William Bernake; probable aunt of the John who
married Anne/Amy Gaveston.
2. Robert Driby; d. by 1279.
3. Joan Tateshall, b. ca. 1250; d. Oct. 1329.
4. Simon Driby; d. before 1289.
5. Alice Greasley.
6. Robert Tateshall.
7. Nichole.
10. Hugh FitzRalph.
11. Agnes Greasley.
12. Robert Tateshall.
13. Mabel Aubigny.
22. Ralph Greasley.
23. Isabel or Agnes Muschamps.
24. William Tateshall.
25. Isolde Pantulf of Breedon, Leics.
26. William Aubigny, Earl of Arundel. Grandson of A. of Louvaine, second
wife of King Henry.
27. Mabel of Chester.
If I went further back, I might find royal; but there is the baronial.
