Research Notes
There is widespread confusion because of Dugdale's 17th century attempt to reconstruct the family. According to him, after Lambert Scoteny died his heirs were two sisters, Bertha and Aumaris.[2] Dugdale was apparently uncertain of the exact descent from Lambert to Fredescancia, and apparently believed there were two Fredescancias.
However, as explained by Sanders:[3]
- Bertha was the mother of Lambert, and probably Lambert's main inheritance came from her. So she may have held possession after he died, but not as an heiress.
- Lambert's heirs were the two daughters of his brother Walter, grand-daughters of Bertha.
- Fredescancia de Scoteni was a coheiress and grand-daughter of one of these grand-daughters of Bertha.
- Instead of there being two Fredescancias, she simply had two husbands, Hugh de Willoughby and then Walter de Killingholm.

1. Keep her connected to Hugh Willoughby as spouse (who I propose to merge with his grandson), but disconnect from everyone else. She is in the wrong generation. <strike>2. Change LNAB to Criol. She married into the Scoteny family.</strike>
I will add sourced notes in the form of a Research section which can help support the finished article.

The son we have given her is also said by Complete Peerage to have unknown parents.
Probably this profile is based upon something like this old book: https://books.google.be/books?id=igsjxZtKmJkC&pg=PA559 (Collins)
But that disagrees with modern scholars.
I think such accounts are all based on Dugdale https://quod.lib.umich.edu/e/eebo/A36794.0001.001/1:6.266?rgn=div2;submit=Go;subview=detail;type=simple;view=fulltext;q1=scoteni
Here is another one based on his https://books.google.be/books?id=JPw-AQAAMAAJ&pg=PA170 (Banks)
You can see the original explanation by Dugdale was closer to modern scholarship than what Wikitree has. Cockerington was not a surname, just a manor
