  =========================================
  gave Robert D'Oyly in marriage his cast-off concubine, Edith de Greystock, sister of Ivo, ancestor of the baronial house of Greystock (whose arms were "Barry of six, argent and azure, three chaplets gules"), and dau. of Fornus de Greystock, also Lord of Greystock, son of Lyulph, alias Sigelwolfe, a great Saxon thane in the north,[72] On her marriage with Robert D'Oyly, King Henry gave her in frank marriage the manor of Steeple Cleydon,[73] co.

  ===============================================
  
  Edith, wife of Robert D'Oyly, became so religious, and munificent to the Church, that monkish writers call her "Memorabilis Matrona Deo devota;"[89] and state that the remainder of her life was passed in acts of devotion. Many grants to the Church her husband permitted her to make in his lifetime; which was probably owing to her personal charms (which are said to have been very great) and her husband being many years her senior. She gave lands to St. Mary's Abbey at Otley,[90] then recently founded on a corner of Otmoor, for the soul's health of her husband, self, sons, and King Henry I., prior to 1138; and gave the monks of Eynsham one of the villeins on her estate at Cleydon, with his wife, children, and all his cattle, in free alms for ever.
