General Notes

Alice de Driby, b. c 1340, d. 12 Oct 1412, will as Alicia Basset de Bytham, Apr 1412, probated 26 Oct 1412, Inq.p.m. 1413 #15; m. (1) Sir Ralph Basset, Lord Basset of Sapcote, d. 17 July 1378, issue; m. (2) Sir Robert Tochet, no issue; m. (3) Sir Anketil Mallory, Knight, of Kirkby Mallory, co. Leics, d. 26 Mar 1393 (Order of 1st two marriages uncertain).  [Ancestral Roots]

Note: Even if the 1st two marriages were reversed, Sir Ralph Basset didn't die until 1378, and Alice had Sir William, b. c 1375 with Anketil Mallory.  It doesn't quite make sense.  Probably her son William wasn't born until after 1380.

Note: Paul C. Reed, in a posting to soc.genealogy.medieval 25 Jan 2002, states that the order is reversed for the 1st two marriages: (1) Robert Tuchet, (2) Ralph Basset, (3) Anketil Mallory.

Will, as Ralph Basset, knight, Lord of Sapcote, directing his burial to be at Castle Bytham, dated there the Monday after the Ascension I I May 1377, proved at Lincoln. His widow, who married Sir Robert TUCHET, and afterwards Sir Anketine MALLORY, died a widow, 12 October 1412, and was buried at Stamford, near her last husband.  [Complete Peerage II:7-8, (transcribed by Dave Utzinger)]
