Avice was one of the daughters and co-heirs of Sir Roger de Lascelles and his wife Isabel.[1][2]
In April 1282 her father arranged a marriage for her with Robert, son and heir of Sir Simon Constable of Halsham, Yorkshire. [3] They had children:[4]
John (b. ca. 1304)
William
Catherine (m. William de Melsa)
In the 1302 settlement of her father's estate, she and her husband were given part of his lands in Yorkshire. They exchanged Ellerton-upon-Derwent for Kirkby under Knowle and part of Escrick with her sister Matilda de Tilliol in 1324/5.[3]
Her husband Robert Constable was dead by January 1336.[5] Avice was still living in May 1344, when she made a fine. [6]
Research Notes
In her mother's 1323 IPM, Avice is called age 40 (b. 1283), but this is obviously wrong since her marriage had been arranged in 1282. She was probably still a child at the marriage, however.
