Notes
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_de_Morville
Richard de Morville (died 1189), succeeded his father Hugh de Morville (died 1162) as 
Constable of Scotland and in his Scottish estates and English lands at Bozeat in 
Northamptonshire, and Rutland, as well as a number of feus of the Honour of 
Huntingdon.[1]

Around 1180 Richard de Morville, with the consent of his son William, granted liberty 
to the monks of Melrose to plough and sow the lands of Blainslie and the plain beyond 
the grove over to the Leader Water.[2] This grant was confirmed by William de 
Morville, presumably his son.

Later in the twelfth century, Richard de Morville rented Eddleston - now a parish in 
Peeblesshire - from the Bishop of Glasgow.[3]

Richard married Avice (who survived him), Possibly the daughter of William de 
Lancaster, Baron of Kendal by his spouse Gundred, daughter of William de Warenne, 
2nd Earl of Surrey. They had at least four children:
Malcolm, accidentally killed by Adulf de St.Martin while hunting.
William, alive in 1180 but said to have died without issue.
Maud, who married William de Vieuxpont (who became Lord of Westmorland)
Elena (born circa 1170), eventual sole heir to her father, who married Roland of 
Galloway (died 1200).
