The quittance for the subsequent payment of this sum is guilelessly dated Wednesday before St. Martin [4 Nov.], showing that these deeds {Liber Ruheus, pp. 1 020-2) were forged some years afterwards. (*") He was aged 7 on the morrow of the Nativity of the Virgin, 1260, according to the Inq. p. m. on his father, to whom he was found h. (Ch. Inq. p. m.. Hen. Ill, file 24, no. 6). According to a petition by Thomas de Multon and Anthony de Lucy [Coram Rege, Easter, 9 Edw. II, m. 1 1 2) for the manors of Cockermouth, Skipton, etc., the Count had 5 children, John, Thomas, William, Avice, and Aveline.

William d. at Oxford, and was bur. there in the Church of the Black Friars ; whether he survived Thomas or not is unknown. Q Her sister Avice d. before 6 Apr. 1269. She was bur.

It is true that the " maritagium filie primogenfte et unius heredum Willelmi de Fortibus que fuit uxor Ingrami de Percy " was given to the Queen, 10 Oct. 1262 {Patent Roll, 46 Hen. Ill, pars 2, m. 2). But, as the marriage of the daughters of William Le Fort was given to this Ingram and two others, 2 Aug. 1259 {Fine Roll, 43 Hen. Ill, m. 4), it is clear that Ingram m. the 1st da. and coh., not of the Count, but of William Le Fort de Vivonne, of Chewton, Somerset, viz., Joan, afterwards wife of Reynold fitz Piers. C) She was aged 14 on the feast of SS. Fabian and Sebastian last past, according to her proof of age, undated, but taken between 20 Jan. and 2 Feb. 1272/3.

[Fine Roll, 2 Edw. I, m. 2). («) On the death of Aveline, one John d'Eston [Eshton, co. York] claimed to be her heir, as descended from Avice, da., as he averred, of William le Gros.
