Biography
Beatrix de Villers was the daughter and heir of Sir Robert de Villers, son of Richard de Villiers, a crusader under Edward I (NOTE: this does not make sense, as Edward I was not born until 1236. Do they mean under Richard I? Gunn-471 20:31, 1 October 2017 (EDT)). She inherited the estate Little Crosby, Lancashire. She was said to be a great beauty
She was under the control of King John "Lackland", and, according to tradition, hoped to marry him and become Queen. However, he spurned her and married her off to one of his barons, Robert de Molyneux.
She bitterly cursed the House of Molyneux and called down maledictions of misery, blasting their loves with tragedy.
Descendants from this marriage include the Earls of Sefton, Ireland, Teversall, and Nottinghamshire.

I’ve been trying to piece the dates on Vincent Molyneux together and this text states he was a son of Beatrice which is impossible since he was returned as a Knight to Parliament in 1301, per the same source. Some strong dissonance going on. It lists his wife as Isabel Dugale.
I think there’s been mix ups between Vincent’s somewhere.
