Richard DE MORVILLE Constable of Scotland

  General Notes:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_de_Morville
Richard de Morville (died 1189), succeeded his father Hugh de Morville (died 1162) as Constable of Scotland and in his Scottish estates and English lands at Bozeat in Northamptonshire, and Rutland, as well as a number of feus of the Honour of Huntingdon.

Around 1180 Richard de Morville, with the consent of his son William, granted liberty to the monks of Melrose to plough and sow the lands of Blainslie and the plain beyond the grove over to the Leader Water. This grant was confirmed by William de Morville, presumably his son.

Later in the twelfth century, Richard de Morville rented Eddleston - now a parish in Peeblesshire - from the Bishop of Glasgow.

Richard married Avice (who survived him), the daughter of William de Lancaster I, possibly by his spouse Gundred, daughter of William de Warenne, 2nd Earl of Surrey. They had at least four children:

Malcolm, accidentally killed by Adulf de St.Martin while hunting.
William, alive in 1180 but said to have died without issue.
Maud, who married William de Vieuxpont (who became Lord of Westmorland)
Elena (born circa 1170), eventual sole heir to her father, who married Roland of Galloway (died 1200).

Richard married Avice OF LANCASTER, daughter of William OF LANCASTER and Unknown, before 1170. (Avice OF LANCASTER died after 1189.)
