The evidence that John "de Lacy" fitz Richard fitz Eustace married Alice de Essex is found in the _Rotuli de dominabus ... [1185]_ [PRS 35:29-30]: Alicia de Essex est de donatione Domini Regis, et est .lx. annorum, et est amita comitis Willelmi, et soror comitis Albrici, et habet ij. filios milites, et .j. filiam maritatam Johanni constabulario Cestrie.
[p. 30, n. 1] "For her tenure of Aynho under (her nephew) William (de Mandeville) Earl of Essex, see _Geoffrey de Mandeville_, p. 390, where is given the reference to his charter granting to her Aynho in free dower over and above that given her by her husband (dominus) Roger Fitz Richard (of Warkworth).... Her daughter married John (Fitz Eustace), Constable of Chester, who died on crusade with Richard I in 1190, leaving a son, Roger de Lacy, Constable of Chester." [Ref: Paul Reed SGM 2/17/1999]

William Farrer and J[ohn] Brownbill were editors of the Victoria County History of Lancaster, v. 1 (London, 1906). They go into a detailed study of the heirs of William fitz Nigel, the part of which holds our interest being on pp. 298-305.
[p. 299] "In 1172 John, constable of Chester, founded the Cistercian abbey of Stanlaw, in Cheshire.... He also founded the hospital of Castle Donnington.... He married Alice, daughter of Robert de [p. 300:] Essex, by Alice his wife, sister of Aubrey de Vere, earl of Oxford, and died at Tyre in the Holy Land during a crusade in the year 1190. Roger, his son, having succeeded him as constable of Chester .... The following year [1194] ... Albreda settled the whole estate which had been Robert de Lacy's upon her grandson, Roger, the constable, who thereupon assumed the name of Lacy and became possessed of the honours of Clitheroe and Pontefract, in addition to his own patrimony of Halton and Widnes.... [p. 302:] His death occurred on 1 October, 1211, after a protracted illness, during which he was invested with the monastic habit in the abbey of Stanlaw, where his remains were buried."
