    Wolfhamcote has a few connections to the daughters of Ivo de Alspathe
    A few comments of those involved:

    James le Bret , [son and hier of Alice & Walter le Bret] . James le Bret held land here.
    Walter le Bret had married Alice, the eldest daughter and Thomas de Aderne had married Gunnor, daughter of Ivo de Alspathe, had come to an aggreement about the advowson of the church of Wolfhampcote.

    [Walter himself for himself and his heirs and the advowson of the same church remains to the aforesaid Walter and his heirs without any claims. And for this agreement the same Walter gave to the aforesaid Thomas five marks of silver]

    : [Hec est finalis concordia facta in curia domini regis apud Warewic die Lune proxima post octavas apostolorum Petri et Pauli anno xxxj regni regis Henrici secundi coram Willelmo de Ver[] et Robarto de Inglyscham Radulfo filio Stephani et Milone de
    Micheloages et Ricardo Flandrensi justiciariis domini regis et aliis baronibus militibus domini regis ibidem presentibus inter Thomam de Arderne [et] Walterum le Bret de ecclesia de Wolfammescote quis advocatus presentavit ulterum personam qui mortuus [
    est] ad eandem ecclesiam cuius advocacionem idem Thomas clamavit versus predictum Walterum scilicet quod idem Thomas remisit totum clamium suum versus ipsum Walterum pro se et heredibus suis et advocacio eiusdem ecclesie remanet predicto Waltero et
    heredibus suis absque tamen calumpnia Et pro hac concordia dedit idem Walterus predicto Thome v marcas argenti]

    The heir of James le Bret was Alice Breton, ( Le Bret) likley his sister who brought Wolfhampcote, Wyken and Bignall in Oxon, Alice married 1243-4 to Walter de Langley , son of Geoffrey de Langley, Justicar.

    BIGNELL, though in the parish of Bicester, was a member of Kirtlington manor. Its overlordship followed the same descent as Kirtlington. (fn. 178) In the early 13th century the tenant of Bignell was James le Bret, who made a number of grants to Bicester
    Priory of lands in Bignell. (fn. 179) In 1279 the tenant holding Bignell as a ΒΌ knight's fee of the lord of Kirtlington was Walter de Langley, son of Geoffrey de Langley, the notorious justice of the forest. (fn. 180) Walter died in 1280 (fn. 181) and
    Bignell was then held in dower by his widow Alice. (fn. 182) By 1316 the manor had passed to Walter's son John de Langley, (fn. 183) who about 1325 gave it to his younger son Geoffrey.

    At Wolfhamcote, I also see the Geofrey de Langley having dealings with Walter de Cherlecote who maried Cecily de Lucy.

    Rosie Bevan once asked in an Academia paper dated 2016, if a daughter of Cecily de Lucy and Walter de Cherlecote could have married an early Gerard de Alspath and have a son named Willaim de Lucy, by 1227. I would like to know if there is any update on
    that question since 2016 if any has the answer.
