Walter Langton, bishop of Coventry and Lichfield (d. 1321) was, by his own account, the son of Simon Peverel (d. in or before 1304) and Amicia (d. in or before 1297); he was the elder brother of Sir Robert Peverel [ODNB]. Sir Robert Peverel married Alice and was the father of Edmund Peverel. Eleanor, second wife of Robert Brus VI, had a daughter named Alice by her second husband Richard le Waleys. Alice wife of Robert Peverel and Alice daughter of Richard le Waleys were different people. Regards. John
Thanks, John Has anyone run into Simon Peverel before? I don't seem to have him on my radar.
