  [G675.ged]
  ---  W E Wigh tman, *The Lacy Family in England and Normandy, 1066-1194*,
  genealogical chart following p 175, 177-178.
  All that can be said of John 'Monoculus' is that he was not an important
  member of the baronage.  A measure of his respectabilit y -- or rather
  acceptability in the eyes of the rest of his contemporaries -- is to be
  found in the marrige of his sons, Payn, a younger son, married the Lacy
  heiress. Eustace fitz John, Payn's eldest brother, married Beatrice, the
  Vesci heiress, and thus inherited through her the honours of Alnwick and
  M alton.
  At least two of the sons of John 'Monoculus' were of sufficient standin g
  to be acceptable husbands for the daughters of major barons.
