( Marriage Notes for Ivo1 " Earl of Anjou De Taillebois " and Lucia " )


There is some confusion as to whether or not Ivo Taillebois and Lucy ( Countess Lucy ) had any children. It is agreed by all that Ivo Taillebois married Lucy ( Countess Lucy ). She being much younger married twice more after the death of her husband Ivo Taillebois. Gleaning information from several sources it appears the line from Ivo Taillebois to Nicholas Fitz Gilbert Radclyffe is as follows:
Aelfred ( aka. Eltred, Alfred, Elthred ) de Taillebois b. Abt. 1040 ( before the Invasion ) is presented many times as the son of Ivo Taillebois. It is suggested that Ivo Taillebois was married in France prior to his coming with William " The Conqueror ". There is research that speculates that his wife was Beatrice or he had a daughter Beatrice by Lucy " Countess Lucy ". However current research suggests that Ivo Taillebois and Lucy " Countess Lucy " had no children. Ivo Taillebois was quite old at the time of the invasion and Lucy " Countess Lucy " was very young. It would seem their marriage was arranged to save the Manors and lands that belonged to Lucy's " Countess Lucy " family from being confiscated. Thus Ivo Taillebois becoming Baron of Kendal.
