The medieval love story of Lucy de Thweng and Nicholas Meinell is one suitable for an action packed television drama - replete with knights in armour, multiple abductions, assault, vengeance, kidnapping, enmity with the church, bribery and corruption, excommunication - all set within the backdrop of famine and war with Scotland. Michael Prestwich explored it in some detail in 2003 (An Everyday Story of Knightly Folk, pp151-162) without considering one of the dilemmas of the couple - that their relationship was considered incestuous because they were related within the prohibited degree of consanguinity.(note#136-Incest was considered in much broader terms than today - one could not enter marriage with anyone who shared the same great, great grandparent or less as oneself, i.e. marriage below the 5th degree was unacceptable and considered incest) In the early 14th century the detail of their kinship was such common knowledge that it was evidently not considered necessary to document it and has thus been long forgotten. Their precise relationship has never been explained in modern times, but if the wife of Stephen Meinell was a daughter of Peter and Joan de Brus, as appears the case, then that kinship is explained; they were related in the third and fourth degree of consanguinity, both being descendants of Peter and Joan de Brus.
