Courcy 1

: de Courcy of Stoke Courcy, De Courcy of Kinsale Kingsale
The early generations of this family are not clear ! We do not have enough information to determine how to show them properly and so offer a compromise. Said by BP1870 to be descended from Charles of Laon, Duke of Lorraine d 991/4, and by some web sites to have been a younger son of Baudric 'the Teuton', was ...

m Rohesia de Grantmesnil dau of Hugh de Grentmesnil of Hinckley, Steward
i. William de Courcy of Stoke Courcy Steward to King Henry I
ii. Robert de Courcy of Stoke Courcy
BP1870 identifies Robert's wife as Avicia, daughter and co-heir of William de Meschines, Earl of Cambridge. We show below Avicia, daughter of William de Meschines, son/brother of 1st/2nd Earls of Chester, as wife of William de Curcy. This is one of several indications of some possible confusion between Roberts and Williams in this family.
a. William de Courcy of Stoke Courcy d 1171, Steward to King Henry II
BP1870 reports that William was succeeded by his eldest son John, who later became Earl of Ulster. As indicated below, we don't accept that succession.
iii.+ 3 sons
Where the following Richard. is to be placed in this Pedigree is as yet uncertain. TCP Lisle includes a table that shows the following Richard, 4 successive Williams, the marriage of William II to Avice de Meschines, and Alice. We hesitate to assume that this following Richard is the same person as the above Richard who came to England with the Conqueror, although the dates might fit. However, he might have been a cousin of that Richard. TCP Ulster introduces John, 'Earl of Ulster' as "a cadet of the de Curcy lords of Stogursey, Somerset". It seems reasonable to presume that Stogursey is the same as Stoke Courcy so, along with the erroneous suggestion reported in BP1870 that the 'Earl of Ulster' succeeded to Stoke Courcy, this might suggest that the following line of Williams is in fact after allowing for possible confusion between some Roberts and some Williams the same as the line mentioned above. This is to be researched further in due course.

The following connection is uncertain. TCP Ulster reports a suggestion that John, the so-called 'Earl of Ulster', was a son of a younger son of William II or possibly an illegitimate son of William III. TCP seems to lean to the following connection. The description 'of Exeter' is found in a web site dedicated to the Jordan family.

It is possible that this is the same person as the John of Rathkenny, shown above as an illegitimate son of John, 'Earl of Ulster'.
1. Miles de Courcy, 1st / - Lord Kinsale
1 BP1870 suggests that this Miles was son of John, 'Earl of Ulster', but BP1934 identifies his father as John 'the younger' with an implication, but without specification, that that John was son of John 'the elder', 'Earl of Ulster'. TCP Kingsale reports that "There is no proof whatsoever that Patrick was son of Miles de Courcy, said to be a son of John de Courcy the younger." TCP indicates that that presumption derives from a misconception of the way that the term "the younger" or "junior" was used at that time, implying that 'the younger' was not necessarily son of 'the elder'.
2 BP1934 identifies this Miles as the 1st to become Baron. TCP numbers the lords differently. We show both numberings, BP1934/TCP.
A. Patrick de Courcy, 2nd / - Lord Kinsale a 1221, d c1260
TCP Kingsale says that "nothing is known" for certain about Patrick's parentage.

TCP and BP1934 differ over the next few generations. We follow BP1934 to enable us to keep showing its numberings of the barons.
