Alice Countess of Eu is said to have taken for her second husband Alured de St. Martin the founder of Robertsbridge Abbey in Sussex, who witnessed her munificent grant to that religious house. Her gift comprised the Manor of Snargate in Romney Marsh, and is expressed to be made for the souls of "my father William Earl of Arundel, my mother Queen Adeliza, my husband John Count of Eu, my brother Godfrey, and my daughters Matilda and Margaret who were all deceased. The date of this Charter will be about 1178, and among the witnesses are Henry Count of Eu and his brother Robert. Snargate was parcel of the Honour of Arundel and formed part of the lands which were given to the Countess by her father in frank marriage, but the monks of Robertsbridge took the precaution of obtaining from William third Earl of Sussex a charter confirming to them the gift of his aunt. The Countess Alice survived her son Count Henry, but died beofre 1204. She and Count John had three sons and three daughters: Henry II, Robert, John, Matilda, Margaret, and Ida. [UTZ@aol.com]
