In or before 1242 Alan Zouche (age 38) and Helen or Ela Quincy were married. She the daughter of Roger de Quincy 2nd Earl Winchester (age 46) and Helen Galloway Countess Winchester.
Around 1242 [his daughter] Helen Zouche was born to Alan Zouche (age 39) and [his wife] Helen or Ela Quincy at Winchester, Hampshire [Map].
On 29th September 1242 [his son] Roger Zouche was born to Alan Zouche (age 39) and [his wife] Helen or Ela Quincy at Lubbesthorpe Manor Lubbesthorpe Blaby, Leicestershire. He married before 1267 his fourth cousin Ela Longespée and had issue.
Around 1250 [his son] Oliver Zouche was born to Alan Zouche (age 47) and [his wife] Helen or Ela Quincy.
Around 1251 [his daughter] Margaret Zouche Baroness Warkworth was born to Alan Zouche (age 48) and [his wife] Helen or Ela Quincy. She married after 1307 Robert Fitzroger 5th Baron Warkworth, son of Roger Fitzjohn 4th Baron Warkworth, and had issue.
On 31st October 1266 the Dictum of Kenilworth was issued. The Dictum was a peace agreement between King Henry III of England (age 59) and the rebels who were besieged in the impregnable Kenilworth Castle [Map]. The committee included: Bishop Walter Branscombe (age 46), Archbishop Walter Giffard (age 41), Bishop Nicholas Ely, Gilbert de Clare 8th Earl Gloucester 7th Earl Hertford, Humphrey Bohun 2nd Earl Hereford 1st Earl Essex (age 62), Philip Basset (age 82), John Balliol (age 58), Robert Walerand, Alan Zouche (age 63), Roger Somery 2nd Baron Dudley (age 76), and Warin Bassingbourne.
Robert Ferrers 6th Earl of Derby (age 27) and Henry Hastings (age 31) were fined seven times their annual income. The Dictum, however, required the rebels to pay their fines before being restored to their lands; something of a Catch-22 since if they weren't restored to their lands, they would have no income to pay the fine.
On 23rd June 1267 Alan Zouche (age 64) was appointed Warden of London and Constable of the Tower of London which offices he held until September.
The History of William Marshal was commissioned by his son shortly after William’s death in 1219 to celebrate the Marshal’s remarkable life; it is an authentic, contemporary voice. The manuscript was discovered in 1861 by French historian Paul Meyer. Meyer published the manuscript in its original Anglo-French in 1891 in two books. This book is a line by line translation of the first of Meyer’s books; lines 1-10152. Book 1 of the History begins in 1139 and ends in 1194. It describes the events of the Anarchy, the role of William’s father John, John’s marriages, William’s childhood, his role as a hostage at the siege of Newbury, his injury and imprisonment in Poitou where he met Eleanor of Aquitaine and his life as a knight errant. It continues with the accusation against him of an improper relationship with Margaret, wife of Henry the Young King, his exile, and return, the death of Henry the Young King, the rebellion of Richard, the future King Richard I, war with France, the death of King Henry II, and the capture of King Richard, and the rebellion of John, the future King John. It ends with the release of King Richard and the death of John Marshal.
