The body of text on EON La Zouche [see below] on page 937 of Volume XII
/2 of Cokayne's Complete Peerage and the footnote 'd' on the same page exp
lains the confusion of marriage. Eon, younger brother of Alan La Zouche (d
.10 Aug 1270) and a son of Roger La Zouche (d.bef 14 May 1238) & his wi
fe Margaret Biset was granted the right to marry Agatha De Ferrers, the 6
th daughter of Sir William De Ferrers, 5th Earl of Derby, by his wife Sib
yl Marshall - otherwards he was betrothed [engaged] to marry. This marria
ge did NOT take place. Footnote 'd' reads in part: "This Agatha was a cons
iderable heiress, being coheir to her mother Sybil, sister and (in her iss
ue) coheir of Walter (Marshal), 8th Earl of Pembroke. See ante, vol. i
v, p. 199, ped. chart sub DERBY. Her marriage was, however, transferr
ed by Eon, before 24 July 1255, to Hugh Mortimer of Chelmarsh, whom she ma
rried before 1258." Eon did marry but to Millicent De Cauntelo (Cantilupe
), as detailed below.
