    Back before the separation from Google Groups, in August 2023, I posted
    that I could find no evidence that Matilda de Windsor, daughter of
    Alexander de Windsor and Agnes, daughter of William de Lancaster, shared
    in the inheritance from her brother, Walter de Windsor. That was
    incorrect, as Matilda de Windsor was the unnamed wife of Hugh de
    Hosdenc. It appears that following the death of Hugh de Hosdenc, she
    remarried to Alan de Sancto Claro. Sinclair, Enigmatic Sinclairs, p.
    172-174; K. Stringer, rCLActs of Lordship: the records of the lords of Galloway to 1234,rCY T Brotherstone and D. Ditchburn, eds., Freedom and Authority, Scotland c. 1050 - c. 1650 (East Linton: Tuckwell Press,
    1996), p. 223.

    The first paragraph is a repost of the prior evidence showing that the
    wife of Hugh de Hosdenc was a sister of Walter de Windsor. The second paragraph is the additional evidence showing her name was Matilda. The
    third paragraph is a charter granting Carfrae in Scotland to Alan de
    Sancto Claro and wife, Matilda de Windsor.

    Alexander I de Windsor had at least one son, Walter de Windsor, and at
    least two daughters, Christiana de Windsor, wife Duncan de Lasceles, and Matilda, the wife of Hugh de Hosdenc, mother of Ralph de Hosdenc. In
    1200, Duncan de Lasceles and wife, Christiana, offered 10-u to have the
    land of Boulton in Cumberland that was ChristianarCOs inheritance from her father since she could not have her reasonable part of the inheritance
    in Scotland. 1200 Pipe Roll, p. 244. In the year 1202, Christiana de Wyndleshore granted land in Patestun [Paxton] Scotland adjacent the land
    of Hugh de Hodene to the Priory of Lanercost for the souls of William

    heir of her brother, Walter de Windlesor and have seisin of his lands in
    Essex and Hertfordshire and Yorkshire. 1203 Pipe Roll, p. 132, 212.
    Walter de Windesores held 1-+ knights fees of Richard de Montfichet in
    Essex and Hertfordshire. Red Book, p. 730, 733. In 1206, Ralph de
    Hosdeng and Duncan de Laceles and wife, Christiana, offered 40 marks in Bedfordshire for the total land of Walter de Windlesor held in capite.
    1206 Pipe Roll, p. 41. After 1203, Ralph de Haudeng granted land in Bekenesfeld [Beaconsfield, Buckinghamshire] that had been given by Lord

    Circa 1162-1182, Robert Brito de Aldwic gave to Clerkenwell Priory a
    rent of one mark in his part of Wanstede [Wanstead, Essex] saving to
    Hugh de Hosdene and his heirs, to whom Robert had previously released
    his part of Wanstede, namely, the third part of Wanstede, to be held by
    right of inheritance from Robert and his heirs for one mark of silver
    annual rent, which was recognized by Hugh de Hosdene, his wife Matilda,
    and his son, Ralph, and witnessed by Earl Aubrey [de Vere] and Countess
    Agnes, Simon de Catelu, Ralph de Cantelu, Thomas dapifer, Robert de
