Beatrice de Beauchamp 
Beatrice was born about 1107 in Bedfordshire, Essex, England. Beatrice's father was Robert De Beauchamp. Her paternal grandparents were Hugh (Hugue) De Beauchamp and Adeliza Matilda Taillebois. She had a brother named Robert II. She was the older of the two children. She died in 1150.General Notes
One source says Beatrice's father was Robert de Beauchamp. If she was
the heiress of her grandfather, though, she probably didn't have surviving
brothers or uncles. (Granted, her inheritance from her grandfather does not
prove that she got ALL his property, and I haven't traced his holdings to
see.) Her lover attacked Hugh de Morville with a sword but that she cried out
in English to warn Hugh. It was used as evidence that the Scoto- Normans
could speak English, perhaps in preference to French. Hugh and Beatrice are
commemorated on a plaque at Dryburgh Abbey and at least Hugh is supposed to be buried there, possibly Beatrice was, too.
W.H. Turton, _The Plantagenet Ancestry_ (1928, reprinted Baltimore 1968),
says Beatrice de Beauchamp was the daughter of Pagan de Beauchamp and
Rohese de Vere; Pagan was the son of Hugh de Beauchamp (c. 1066) and Rohese the daughter of Alberic de Vere (d. 1141) and Adeliza de Clare.
