Sir Nicholas de Leycester - Sir Nicolas de Leycester

I do not think Sir Nicholas de Leycester was the son of Blanche of Artois

I think you are right but lots of ancestry web state she was. Who do you think are his parents?

I think we don’t know. He married “up.”

“Lecester of Talley” pedigree in Visitation - he’s top of the pedigree.

Wow - you certainly are an expert. The info I have that he is the son of Edmund Crouchback and Blanch d'Artois seems wrong. Nicolas seems to be local guy "made good" when he married Margaret Dutton?
i have only being researching my family tree for a short while but happy to be a descendant of Sir Nicolas.
I have also found I have a blood line to William The Conqueror albeit it was through Robert 1st Earl of Gloucester - illegitimate son of Henry I.
Thanks for your help
