W E Wightman, *The Lacy Family in England and Normandy, 1066-1194*,
genealogical chart following p 260.
From same, p 175, 177-178: Eustace fitz John, Payn's eldest brother,married Beatrice, the Vesci heiress, and thus inherited through herthe honours of Alnwick and Malton. Their son assumed the surnameVesci, it being this William whose sister probably married Henry I deLacy of Pontefract. By his second marriage Eustace had a son Robert.He in his turn married Aubrey de Lisours, daughter of Aubrey thesister of Ilbert II de Lacy, through whom the Pontefract honourdescended in 1194 to Roger de Lacy, grandson of Robert fitz Eustace.Since the king's permission for the marriage of Robert de Lisours withAubrey de Lacy was only obtained in 1129-30, this family link betweenthe holder of the western Lacy lands and the Pontefract family haslittle significance for the time of Payn fitz John, save todemonstrate that at least two of the sons of John 'Monoculus' were ofsufficient standing to be acceptable husbands for the daughters ofmajor barons.
