Ivo was made a "Marcher Baron" by William II ("Rufus"), "enfeoffed...of the
whole of Ewecross wapentake, the later lordship of Burton in Lonsdale, and
of the later barony of Kendal along with the south-western portion of
Cumberland which came to be described as the barony of Copeland." {-"The
Northerners," J.C.Holye (Oxford: Clarendon, 1961), p.214. "The Rainsford
Family," by Emily A. Buckland (Worcester: Phillips & Probert, Ltd.,
1932-33), p. 38, gives a chart "compiled Nov. 1932 by Alfred Ransford"
which "shews the ancestors of that historical person Ivo le-Tailibois, (who
figures as the principal character in Charles Kingsley's famous novel,
`Hereward the Wake.')" - Ivo is said to have died in 1093 and his wife is
Lucy (died 1138, "dau. of Thorold, Sheriff of Lincoln"; her 3rd husband is
Ranulph, Earl of Chester, who died in 1129; here Ivo's father is given as
Reinfrid, soldier and first prior of Whitby Abbey (b. ca. 1020, d. ca.
1083, bur. at Hackness, Yorkshire, son of Reinfrid Talibois of Normandy).}
He was employed in the siege of Ely in 1071, and took part in
the settlement of the liberties of Ely circa 1080. He was Sheriff of
co. Lincoln in or before 1086, and had the custody of the lands of the
See of Durham on the expulsion of the Bishop in 1088 for taking the part
of Duke Robert. He is described as dapifer in 1091, about which time
the King gave him the lordship of Kendal. He attested numerous charters
on both sides of the Channel. The family is Angevin.

Lucy (or Lucia) is identified as daughter of William Malet in the LDS Church's unverified Pedigree Resource File (CD 16, Pin 189380). Lucy married Roger FitzGerold and by him had William de Roumare, later Earl of Lincoln (although the profits of this
Earldom ofen seem to have gone to Ranulph, the half-brother); as a widow Lucy confirmed the grant of Manor of Spalding to the monks there, and paid 500 marks to King Henry "for license to remain unmarried for 5 years." Lucy is said to be the
granddaughter of William, Lord Malet {-"Royal Ancestors of Magna Charta Barons," Carr P. Collins, Jr., Dallas, 1959}. Also see "The Complete Peerage", VII:743. The Countess Lucy was married three times. Lucy married (1) Ivo de Taillebois (2) Roger
Fitzgerold, Seigneur, of Roumare. He died 1095. Lucy married (3) Ranulph (de Brisquesard) called 'le Meschines' third Earl of Chester. There is an article about her and her supposed parents in The Genealogist, Vol. 5, pages 131-144 and pages
153-173. See also "Ancestral Roots of Certain American Colonists Who Came to America before 1700," Frederick Lewis Weis, Seventh Edition (Baltimore: Genealogical Publishing Co., Inc., 1992), Line 246B (p. 213).

William appears to be son of _____ Malet, a descendant of Robert (son of
Maleth, living 990), and a daughter of Leofric (ID3229) and Godiva
(ID3230)[see "Falaise Roll..." table cited for ID3229]. Carr P. Collins,
Jr., "Royal Ancestors of Magna Charta Barons" (Dallas: 1959), pp. 176 &
258, suggests that William, "Lord Malet," was Governor of York Castle and a
General and Companion of William the Conqueror, that he may be a brother of
King Harold's wife, that he is called a grandson of Godiva of Mercia, and
that his wife is Hesilla (Elsie) Crispin - and offers a chart showing
Hesilla as daughter of Gilbert Crispin and William as son of Alfgar III
(Earl of Mercia) and wife Princess Elfgifu (dau. of King Ethelred II of
England)(Alfgar III is son of Earl Leofric III and Lady Godiva). Cf. Arthur
Malet, "Notices of an English Branch of the Malet Family." "Ancestral
Roots..." (Balt., 1992) 234A-25 states William is "of Granville St.
Honorine, Normandy, at Battle of Hastings, 1066..."

Henry I had 20 or 21 bastard children re: N.E.Hist.Gen.Register 4/1965, pp.95-96. His form of government was "severe and grasping; but he `kept good peace' and honorably distinguished himself among contemporary statesmen in an age when administrative
reform was in the air. He spent more time in Normandy than in England. But he showed admirable judgment in
his choice of subordinates...." -Encyclopedia Britannica (1956 Ed., 11:432). He was King of England, 1100-35, and Duke of Normandy (1106-35); his coronation at Westminster Abbey was on Sunday, 08-05-1100. Thomas B. Costain offers a popular account of
his reign in "The Conquering Family" (Garden City, NY: Doubleday, 1949, pp.43-77). The "Anglo-Saxon Chronicle" described him as the "lion of justice."
