Atbest you would have a 17 year old boy marrying a 30+ (mostlikely 35-40) year old woman; not very likely at all. ThereforeI envision two generations where CP has one. I believe that thisRalph m. (long before 1346, which is when CP says the marriagetook place) Sybil Astley and had the Ralph who was a minor in1349.

Of course Ralph could have been born as early as 1310, marriedSybil for the 1st time at age 36 (1346) and married again at 51(1361) and had children. I think that genealogy, even the wellrespected sources, are too full of really old men havingchildren. It seems to be the rule rather than the exception. Theaverage life expectancy in the middle ages was in the mid tolower 40's which was considered old age. While men can havechildren in their 80's, I think it is the exception rather thanthe rule for men after the age of 50 having children.

[Magna Charta Sureties]

Note: Neither Ancestral Roots, CP, or MCS mention a secondmarriage for Margaret, but Roger's death in 1288 would certainlyallow for a 2nd marriage. <1295 - 1328 Simon Basset 33 33 Simon Basset, son and heir, by 1st wife.

 ~1229 - >1265 Isabel (Elizabeth) de Albiniaco 36 36 He [Walter de Coleville] married Isabel or Elizabeth (e). Hedied 1277, before 2 September, when the writ for his Ing. p. m.is dated. [Complete Peerage III:374, (transcribed by DaveUtzinger)]

(e) Aubourn, Counthorpe, and other of his manors, co. Lincoln,were committed, 25 Oct 1265, to Isabel late (sic) the wife ofWalter de Coleville; where also, 20 Feb 1265/6, is a grant oflands in Aubourn to Elizabeth, wife of Walter de Colveville, theKing's enemy who is in prison. Elizabeth and Isabel are hermerely different forms of the same name, and the word 'late' inthe first passage is an error. V.G.

-------------------------

Most people have Isabel born in Muston, Lancashire.Unfortunately I find no record of a Muston in that county. Thereis a Muston in Leicestershire & East Riding Yorkshire. Of theseI believe that the Muston in Leicestershire is closest, althoughit is near Nottingham, not Lancashire.
 ~1280 - <1295 Elizbeth Colvill 15 15 He [Ralph Basset] married 1stly, Elizabeth, 1st daughter and inher issue coheir of Roger COLVILL, [LORD COLVILL] by Margaret,daughter of Sir Richard BREWES. [Complete Peerage II:7,(transcribed by Dave Utzinger)]

Note: With her mother Margaret the daughter of a 'bef 9 Sep1265' marriage and her son 'b. bef 1295' when Elizabeth waspresumably dead and Ralph was marrying for the 2nd time, thereis not a lot of room for variation in the birth dates of thethree inidividuals: (1) 1265 for Margaret, which is the earliestpossible given the marriage date; (2) 1280 for Elizabeth, whichsplits the difference and has two women in a row bearingchildren at the age of 15; (3) abt 1295 for the son Simon, whichis the latest possible. It also means that poor Elizabeth had avery short life; I would guess that she probably died in childbirth having her son Simon.
 ~1222 - <1277 Walter Colvill 55 55 WALTER DE COLEVILLE, son and heir of Roger (not Robert) DE C.,of Bytham Castle, co. Lincoln, by Beatrice, his wife (living 25October 1265). He took part in Simon de -Montfort's rebellion,and was summoned to Parliament 24 December 1264, by writdirected Waltero de Colevilla, which writ however, having issuedin rebellion, should not create a peerage dignity. He was takenprisoner at Kenilworth in 1264, by Prince Edward, and his landsforfeited, but they were redeemed, and he was possessed of themat his death.

He married Isabel or Elizabeth (e). He died 1277, before 2September, when the writ for his Ing. p. m. is dated. [CompletePeerage III:374, (transcribed by Dave Utzinger)]
