Concessi itaq. prenominato H. beneficium quoddam in ecclesia de Whall. et in eiusdem

* This Henry de Lascy must not be mistaken for the Henry de Lascy mentioned at p. 3. He was lord of Blackburnshire, and descended from Ilbert de Lascy, who received the fee of Pontefract from the Conqueror. The descents from that Ilbert are,

I. Robert de Lascy, his son, Lord of Blackburnshire, probably by grant from Roger de Busli and Albert de Greslet, the grantees under the Conqueror. He was attainted and dispossessed of all his lands by Henry I., and they were granted to Hugh de la Val, but were restored. He left two sons, Ilbert, who succeeded, but died s.p.

Henry, who succeeded.

II. Henry de Lascy, who, A.D. 1147, founded a Cistercian abbey at Barnoldswick, which was afterwards translated to Kirkstall. He was the grantor to Henry de Blackburne above. He left a son,

III. Robert de Lascy, who died 12 kal. Febr., A.D. 1193, and devised his estates, consisting of sixty knights' fees, to his uterine sister, Albreida, daughter of Robert de Lizours. See ante, p. 2.

Mem. - Dugdale's account of the descent of the Lascy honours has been followed; but it is proper to state that another version, supported by Dodsworth, implies that the connection of the Lascys with the barons of Halton was as follows:

I. Robert de Lascy, above, left three children,

1. Ilbert, who succeeded, but died s.p.

2. Henry, who succeeded, and left the above named

Robert de Lascy.

3. Albreida, married Robert de Lizours, who, by an entry on the pipe-roll, 31 Henry I., paid twenty-five marks that he might marry the sister of Ilbert de Lascy. They had a daughter and heir,

Albreda, who married Richard, fifth baron of Halton, ante, p. 2.
