Dear Pat, Tim, Todd, Chris, et al.,
Some time ago there was discussion on the subject of the Clare
chevrons and the Montfichet family. A question was raised as to
whether the use of chevrons by the Montfichet family was adequate -
let along significant - evidence as to an alleged Montfichet descent
from the de Clare family.
==================

Following is the detailed pedigree.
Cheers,
John

" In 1242-3 the heir of Walter Oliphant (as though Walter were dead)
is said to hold one fee in Lilford of the Earl of Albemarle of the
Honour of Huntingdon. (fn. 17) This heir was apparently David
Oliphant, one of the magnates of Scotland, who in 1244 was returned as
holding one fee in Northamptonshire of William de Forz, Earl of
Albemarle, and Christine his wife. (fn. 18) It would seem that this
David was dead without issue before 1266 when Walter de Moray
(Moravia), apparently one of his heirs, presented to the church of
Lilford. (fn. 19) Divorgilla his widow, described as Lady of Lilford,
held the manor of Lilford for life by gift of Walter de Moray, who
reserved the advowson of the church. (fn. 20) Divorgilla Oliphant gave

Scotland, and heir of the Lady Divorgilla Oliphant, Lady of Lilford,
granted the lands he had received from her to Laurence son of Sir
Walter de Montfichet, his kinsman, with reversion to John son of the
said Laurence. (fn. 22) In 1296 Divorgilla claimed the advowson of the
church of Lilford against William son of Walter de Moray, and the King
presented because the lands of Scottish magnates had been taken into
his hands. (fn. 23) However, in 1299, the presentation was quashed as
having been made in error, the patronage belonging to William de
Moray. (fn. 24) "[VCH Northampton 3:227-23129, cites Buccleuch Deeds]
