Henry DLM became a robber of churches and went to Bampton prison, escaped and was killed as a felon, although he was not tried in court. 1267 his lands were seized by the King.

Soc. 35) (1979): 94. This record indicates that Henry de la Mare above granted his tenement in Hurdcott by Winterbourne [Earls] sometime in the period, c.1220-1236 to Bradenstoke Priory. The grant was made for the salvation of Henry and Cecily his wife. VCH Oxford 15 (2006): 18–23 confirms that Henry de la Mare who died 1236-39, left a widow, Cecily. Following his death, she evidently claimed dower in his property at Alvescot, Oxfordshire. However, Cecily de la Mare can hardly be the same person of Cecily Avenel (died c.1301) whose known husband, John de Muscegros, was born in 1232. In truth, Cecily Avenel's interest in Alvescot, Oxfordshire came by way of a grant by her son, Robert de Muscegros, who obtained the manor in 1276, by an exchange of property with Sir Thomas de Clare. For further particulars of the Muscegros family, you may wish to consult my book, Royal Ancestry (2013). Best always, Douglas Richardson, Salt Lake City, Utah
