The heir of James le Bret was Alice Breton, ( Le Bret) his sister who brought Wolfhampcote, Wyken and Bignall in Oxon, to Walter de Langley , son of Geoffrey de Langley, Justicar. Married 1243/4
James le Bret also held at Bignall,
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 ¼ 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.

Notes: At Wolfhamcote, I also see Geoffrey de Langley appearing with Walter de Cherlecote who married 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. Is there anu update on this.
