  • Notes 
    • In 1304 she was "willingly taken away by certain unknown persons", and in September of that year she applied to Archbishop Thomas de Corbridge for a divorce from her husband William on grounds of consanguinity in the 4th degree as well as cruelty. She subsequently became the mistress of Nicholas de Meinell, sheriff of Yorkshire, bearing him an illegitimate son. In 1307 she and Nicholas were charged with adultery; she obtained an aquittal by compurgation in September 1309. After finally becoming divorced from William in 1312, she married Robert de Everingham. In 1313 Robert complained that Nicholas de Meinell and others "came by arms with horses to Everingham, Yorkshire, and abducted his wife, Lucy." After Robert's death in 1316, she married Bartholomew de Fanacourt.
