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 barona ge. A measure of his respectability -- or rather acceptability in the eyes of the rest of hi s
contemporaries -- is to be found in the marrige of his sons, Payn, a younger son, married th e Lacy heiress. Eustace fitz John, Payn's eldest brother, married Beatrice, the Vesci heiress , and thus
inherited through her the honours of Alnwick and Malton.
At least two of the sons of John 'Monoculus' were of sufficient standing to be acceptable hus bands for the daughters of major barons.
