Maude de Lacy 
Maude was born in 1223 in Lincoln, Lincolnshire, England/Lincoln, England.1 Maude's father was John de Lacy Earl of Lincoln and her mother was Margaret de Quincy. Her paternal grandparents were Roger 'Helle' de Lacy Lord Halton and Matilda de Clare; her maternal grandparents were Robert de Quincy and Hawise le Meschines Cts of Lincoln. She had a half-sister named Maud. She died in Lincoln, Lincolnshire, England/Lincoln, England.1 General Notes
[SUSANNA KEENE.FTW]
Maud de Lacy, widow of Richard, earl of Gloucester, outlived
her husband by more than a quarter of a century, dying in March
1289. From 1262 until her death she held one-third of the
Clare inheritance in dower, although her son Earl Gilbert the
Red did successfully challenge the original composition of her
dower portion, which was readjusted in 1267. Maud did not
remarry, preferring to spend her long widowhood living off the
revenues of her estates, contributing handsomely to
ecclesiastical foundations, and helping to promote her
children. Her activities on behalf of her daughters Margaret
and Rohese have been noted [see note under her husband
Richard], and she also attempted, with less success, to present
her son Bogo to the church of Adlingfleet in Yorkshire. Her
gifts to religious houses were numerous. In 1248 Earl Richard
founded Clare Priory, the first house of Austin Friars in
England, and after his death the countess continued his
generosity with several grants of land to the priory. In
addition, a scheme to found an Augustinian nunnery attracted
her. In 1284 she refounded the priory of Canonsleigh in Devon.
Canonsleigh was originally established for seven Augustinian
canons by Walter de Clavill, a mesne tenant of the honor of
Gloucester, but in 1284 Maud
provided an annual gift of L200 for the support of an abbess
and 40 canonesses of that order. She had originally had the
idea of doing this for
Sandleford Priory in Berkshire, but for some reason the plan
fell through in 1274, and a decade later she refounded
Canonsleigh instead. By 1286 the new nunnery was in existence,
and the dispossessed canons were under
royal protection."
