| TCP (Stapleton) reports that "No issue is recorded" for Sir Nicholas and shows his successor as Roger (d before 1246) who married Juliana de Wath and was father of Sir Nicholas (who married Margery Basset), father of the 1st Lord. We follow BP1934 in showing that the husband of Juliana de Wath and grandfather of the 1st Lord was the following son of the above Sir Nicholas ... | |||||||||||||||
| (1) | Nicholas de Stapelton of Hachilsay | ||||||||||||||
| m. Juliana (dau of Robert de Wath) | |||||||||||||||

| BE1883 differs from BLG1952 and TCP (Stapleton) by showing: (1) Nicholas, 2nd Lord, as husband of Sibyl Bellew. BE1883 does not name the 1st Lord's wife. (2) Thomas, 4th Lord, as son of Nicholas (dvp) son of Miles, 3rd Lord. (3) Gilbert of Bedale, who married Agnes FitzAlan, as son of Miles, 3rd Lord. We follow BLG1952 which is supported by TCP for items (1) and (2). |
