WILLIAM [III de Courcy] (-1171). An undated manuscript relating to Croxton Abbey, Leicestershire records that “Avicia de Romely domina de Bescaudeby” married ”Willielmum Paynel”, and had “filium Willielmum de Curci et filiam Aliciam”[1860]. Military fee certifications in the Red Book of the Exchequer, in 1166, record the knights’ fees held by "Willelmi de Curcy dapiferi" in Somerset "quam avus suus et pater suus tenuerunt"[1861]. "…Willelmo de Curci dapifero…" witnessed the charter dated to [1165/89] under which Henry II King of England confirmed concessions made to Bayeux abbey[1862]. The Red Book of the Exchequer records enfeoffments in the duchy of Normandy in [1172], "Willelmus de Curseio" with five knights "de honore de Curceio" and 33 knights in his own service[1863]. m as her second husband, GUNDRED de Warenne, widow of PETER de Valognes, daughter of RAINALD de Warenne & his wife Alice de Wormgay (-before 6 Dec 1224). She married thirdly Geoffroy Hose. “Gundreda de Waren” claimed “ecclesiam de Newinham...advocationem” from the abbot of Abindon in 1194 through “in loco suo Gilone Hose”, while “Henr de Godham senescallus Warin fil Gerald” also claimed it as “hereditas uxoris domini sui”[1864]. "Gundreda que fuit uxor Gaufr Huse" paid a fine for "custodia Gaufr filii et heredis sui cum tota terra sua" in Wiltshire, dated 1199[1865]. An order dated 6 Dec 1224 required the confiscation of "the vill of Newnham that Gundrea de Warenne held in dower, which is an inheritance partible between Joan wife of Hugh de Neville, and Margaret wife of Falkes de Bréauté", with savings for "the executors of the testament of the same Gundrea"[1866]. William & his wife had three children:

i) WILLIAM [IV de Courcy] ([1163/64]-before Oct 1194). The Rotuli de Dominabus of 1185 records “Willelmus filius Willelmi de Curci…in custodia Domini Regis et per eum in custodia Roberti le Poher…xx annorum” and his land “Werefeld"[1867]. William must have died before his mother’s claim to the advocacy of the church of Nuneham (see above).
ii) ALICE de Courcy . Her family origin is confirmed by the undated charter under which her daughter “Margareta de Redeveris” donated revenue from "manerio meo de Newenham…unde eisdem teneor de testamento Aliciæ de Churci matris meæ" to Clerkenwell St Mary’s by undated charter[1868]. Her parentage is indicated more precisely by an order dated 6 Dec 1224 which required the confiscation of "the vill of Newnham that Gundrea de Warenne held in dower, which is an inheritance partible between Joan wife of Hugh de Neville, and Margaret wife of Falkes de Bréauté", with savings for "the executors of the testament of the same Gundrea"[1869]. "Aaliz de Curceio wife of Warin son of Gerold chamberlain of the king of England" confirmed donations to Marmoutier made by her father by charter dated to [1200][1870]. m Sir Warin FitzGerald (The Younger) WARIN FitzGerold], son of HENRY FitzGerold & his wife Matilda --- ([1167]-after 14 Nov 1216).
iii) daughter . Farrer says that Joan was the daughter of Alice, daughter of William [III] de Curcy, by a first marriage to Henry de Cornhill, but he does not cite the primary source on which this information is based[1871]. m ---.] One child:

(a) JOAN (-after 6 Dec 1224). Her family origin is indicated by an order dated 6 Dec 1224 which required the confiscation of "the vill of Newnham that Gundrea de Warenne held in dower, which is an inheritance partible between Joan wife of Hugh de Neville, and Margaret wife of Falkes de Bréauté", with savings for "the executors of the testament of the same Gundrea"[1872]. It is not clear from this source whether Joan was the daughter or the granddaughter of the deceased. As the second heiress Margaret can be shown to be the granddaughter, it is possible that Joan was also a granddaughter, born from an older daughter. A further clue about her parentage is provided by the Testa de Nevill which includes a list of landholdings in the honour of Boulogne, dated to [1217/18], which includes "Rogerus filius Renfrey et Walterus Avenel et uxor Hugonis de Nevill" holding parts of "Gamegeya"[1873]. King John confirmed "unam feriam singulis annis apud Wakering" to "Hug de Nevill et Johe ux sue" by charter dated 30 Apr 1200[1874]. m HUGH Neville, son of --- (-after 1210).
