About John, Constable of Chester, Baron of Halton

http://fmg.ac/Projects/MedLands/ENGLISHNOBILITYMEDIEVAL3T-Z.htm#Ric...

He was never known as "de Lacy". His mother inherited the Lacy estates from her cousin after his death.

John de Lacy (1150, Lincoln, – 1190, Palestine) was the father of Baron Roger de Lacy. He was Lord of Flamborough [not true] and Constable of Chester. The son of Richard FitzEustace. He was a Governor in Ireland for Henry II. Being a patron of science, he maintained an astronomer at Halton Castle. He founded a Cistercian monastery at Stanlow.[9] In 1190 he granted the second known charter for a ferry at Runcorn Gap. He served with Richard I in the Third Crusade and died at the siege of Tyre.[11] From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barony_of_Halton#6_John_FitzRichard:

6 John FitzRichard (1171-1190)

The son of Richard FitzEustace. He was a Governor in Ireland for Henry II. Being a patron of science, he maintained an astronomer at Halton Castle. He founded a Cistercian monastery at Stanlow. In 1190 he granted the second known charter for a ferry at Runcorn Gap. He served with Richard I in the Third Crusade and died at the siege of Tyre.

NOTE: According to Wikipedia, his son was the one who adopted the de Lacy surname.

Roger Fitzrichard who was the founder of the Priory of Langley in Norfolk

He then married Albreda, daughter of Robert de Lissours and granddaughter to Robert de Lacy. (Lord of Pontefract who is my first cousin 30 times removed).
