General Notes:
Lucy of Bolingbroke (died circa 1138)[1] was an Anglo-Norman heiress in central England and, later in life, countess of Chester. Probably related to the old English earls of Mercia, she came to possess extensive lands in Lincolnshire which she passed on to her husbands and sons. She was a notable religious patron, founding or co-founding two small religious houses and endowing several with lands and churches.
Lucy married Ranulf LE MESCHIN 3d Earl of Chester, son of Ranulf "The Viscount" DE BRIQUESSART and Margaret GOZ, before 1101. (Ranulf LE MESCHIN 3d Earl of Chester was born in 1070, died in Jan 1129 and was buried in Chester Abbey.)
