Paternal Family Tree: Zouche
Around 1203 Alan Zouche was born to Roger Zouche [aged 28] and Margaret Bisset at Ashby-de-la-Zouch, Leicestershire.
In or before 1242 Alan Zouche [aged 38] and Helen or Ela Quincy were married. She the daughter of Roger de Quincy 2nd Earl Winchester [aged 46] and Helen Galloway Countess Winchester.
Around 1242 [his daughter] Helen Zouche was born to Alan Zouche [aged 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 [aged 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 [aged 47] and [his wife] Helen or Ela Quincy.
Around 1251 [his daughter] Margaret Zouche Baroness Warkworth was born to Alan Zouche [aged 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 [aged 59] and the rebels who were besieged in the impregnable Kenilworth Castle [Map]. The committee included: Bishop Walter Branscombe [aged 46], Archbishop Walter Giffard [aged 41], Bishop Nicholas of Ely, Gilbert de Clare 8th Earl Gloucester 7th Earl Hertford, Humphrey Bohun 2nd Earl Hereford 1st Earl Essex [aged 62], Philip Basset [aged 82], John Balliol [aged 58], Robert Walerand, Alan Zouche [aged 63], Roger Somery 2nd Baron Dudley [aged 76], and Warin Bassingbourne.
Robert Ferrers 6th Earl of Derby [aged 27] and Henry Hastings [aged 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 [aged 64] was appointed Warden of London and Constable of the Tower of London which offices he held until September.
On 1st July 1270 Alan Zouche [aged 67] and his son Roger Zouche [aged 27] were attacked at during a trial between him and John Warenne 6th Earl of Surrey [aged 39]. Alan was seriously injured and left there, his son escaped. On 4th August 1270 John Warenne 6th Earl of Surrey agreed to pay substantial compensation to the injured. Alan died eight days later.
Annals Londonienses. John, Earl Warenne [aged 39], within the octave [1st July 1270] of the Nativity of Saint John the Baptist, with the king nearby and the justices present, mortally wounded Alan de la Zouche [aged 67] at Westminster in the king's hall. Nevertheless, contrary to God and justice, he eventually secured a settlement through his friends by means of money. Let all England rejoice, and Canterbury more especially, for around the feast of Saint Margaret [20th July] it was visited by God. For in parts overseas Boniface, the unprofitable minister of that church, ended his last day.
Johannes comes Warenniæ in octavis Sancti Johannis Baptistæ, [rege] non distante, justitiariisque præsentibus, Alanum la Suche apud Westmonasterium in aula regis interfecit. Tandem tamen contra Deum et justitiam, mediante pecunia, pacem per amicos procuravit. Tota lætetur Anglia, specialiusque Cantuaria cirea festum Sanctæ Margaretæ œ Deo visitata; in partibus enim transmarinis Bonifacius ejusdem ecclesiæ minister inutilis diem clausit extremum.

Chronicles of the Reigns of Edward I and II Volume 1 Annals of London and Annals of St Paul's
This volume brings together two important medieval chronicles of the reigns of Edward I and Edward II: the Annals of London (Annales Londonienses) and the Annals of St Paul’s (Annales Paulini). Written close to the events they describe, these chronicles offer a vivid contemporary record of English political, military, ecclesiastical and civic life from the late thirteenth to the early fourteenth century. Their particular strength lies in their London perspective, recording not only the affairs of kings, nobles and bishops, but also parliaments, royal proclamations, civic disputes, elections of mayors and sheriffs, executions, tournaments, religious ceremonies, fires, floods, disturbances and the everyday concerns of the capital. The chronicles cover some of the most dramatic events of the period, including the wars of Edward I, conflict with Scotland, the turbulent reign of Edward II, the rise and fall of Piers Gaveston and the Despensers, the rebellion of Thomas of Lancaster, Queen Isabella’s invasion of England, the deposition of Edward II, and the accession of Edward III. The Annales Paulini, associated with St Paul’s Cathedral, is particularly rich in detailed observations of London and its clergy and citizens. An essential primary source for students and readers interested in medieval England, London history, Edward I, Edward II, Edward III, the Scottish wars, medieval politics, and ecclesiastical history, this volume provides an unusually immediate view of a kingdom undergoing profound political upheaval.
