[EYC = Early Yorkshire Charters, as cited below; SGM = soc.genealogy.medieval; RB = Rosie Bevan]
Alan has presented some very significant evidence for the resolution of the conflicting pedigree of the Constable family in EYC XII ff p. 145, which gave Robert I Constable married to an unnamed daughter of of William Tison, and his son, Robert II, as married to "Eufemia dau. & coh. of Maud sister and coh.of William and mag. Roger Arundel". It is clear from the quitclaim that they are co-parcenors in Holme.
When looking at the question back in 2003, because of Clay's placement, I was unable to resolve the problem that John de Beauveur was an heir of Roger Arundel, yet there was no explanation for his Arundel connection. Clay comments on the problem in a footnote on p. Exc. e Rot. Fin. i, 66. [RB -- the fine which John Ravilious presented to SGM in 2003]. The reference shows that John de Beauveur had a share in the Arundel lands with the Constables, with whom he also shared the Tison coheirship. This and other references are given in EYC XI, pp. 198-200 to show John de Beauveur's interest in the Arundel coheirship. The reason for this, however, is obscure. If, as appears, he was a first cousin of Robert Constable, William's father, they may have married sisters; John's wife in that case being Alice, Eufemia's sister; but there is no evidence for this, and, indeed, Maud, John's wife in whose right he held lands in Winksley (p. 10 above), would have to have been a second wife. On the other hand, it is difficult to see how John could have acquired an interest in the Arundel coheirship by inheritance. With regard to Alice, Eufemia's sister, a consideration of the Tison chronology now suggests that it is impossible that she was Alice, the wife of William Tison, as was tentatively suggested in EYC XI p.199.
Clay's conclusion stems from a charter of John de Beauveur, which Robert Constable of Holm attests [EYC XII p. 69]. He assumed that John Beauveur was a first cousin of Robert Constable. In fact they were nephew and uncle, the latter witnessing by right of his wife. The subsequent skewing of the generations has resulted in Clay's account of the early Constables in which he confuses both Roberts. Eufemia, wife of Robert II Constable was coheiress to both the Tison and Arundel fees, with her sister Maud, mother of John de Beauveur. Robert I Constable was not married to a Tison heiress at all. In fact I think the question as to whether or not Robert I and Robert II are the same individual needs to be resolved.
I have used the details from Clay's Tison pedigree on EYC XII p. 5 to present the following solution:
1.Gilbert Tison d, 1115-1130
2. Adam Tison d.1154-1159
+ Emma
3. William Tison holding 15 knight's fees of Roger de Mowbray
in 1166, d.bef Mich. 1180
+ Alice
4. Eufemia Tison
+ Robert Constable II of Flamborough occ 1185
5. William Constable, co-parcenor in Holme
4. Constance Tison d.s.p.
+ Ralph de Beauveur, steward of Roger Mowbray occ. 1185
4. Maud Tison
+ Robert de Beauveur occ 1185
5. Sir John de Beauveur, co-parcenor in Holme, d. 1246-51
+ Maud (m. secondly William de Weighton)
6. Robert de Beauveur
5. Robert
5. Thomas
4. Agnes Tison d.s.p.
+ Hugh son of Malger de Steeton
On the deaths of two of the Tison heiresses, which occurred during the
lifetime of Maud, (she refers to her moiety of land by hereditary
right in Holm), the fee was afterwards divided between the Constables
and the Beauveurs.
On the strength of the above, the following is an amended pedigree of
the heirs of Roger de Arundel.
1. William de Arundel fl 1175
2. William de Arundel d.s.p.
2. Mag. Roger de Arundel d.s.p.c.1210
2. Cecily de Arundel
+ Jordan Lenveise
3.Joan de Lenveise

Flammaville,
(widow of Wm Percy of Kildale d.1203)

+ Robert de Everingham d.1246. Had issue
3.Denise de Lenveise
