incised slab of Joan de Lucy .1369 looking very grown up, who was "not three years old"
Aged 2 years and 3 months in January 1369, she died on the 30th September 1369, possibly of the Black Death which was prevalent here at that time.
She was the only child of Anthony de Lucy 1368 & 2nd wife Joan daughter of Sir Henry Fitzhenry of Ravensworth & Joan daughter of Richard Fourneux
Her mother had m1 William 2nd Lord Greystoke flic.kr/p/conwcS having 4 children Ralph 3rd Lord, William, Robert & Alice wife of Robert de Harington
Having m2 Anthony 3rd Lord Lucy of Cockermouth in 1365 (obtaining a pardon for marrying without license in 1366) , after his death she m3 Sir Matthew de Redmond d1390 of Levens Westmorland, and died and was buried at Clerkenwell, London in 1408

After the death of Joan de Lucy , her father dying before her, the de Lucy estates passed to her father's sister, Maud 2nd wife of Gilbert de Umfraville 1380/81 , 10th Earl of Angus ,
Their only child dying young, for lack of surviving heirs, Maud, as Countess of Angus, held Gilbert’s Scottish & Northumberland estates.
After Gilbert's death, Henry Percy, 1st Earl of Northumberland (1341–1407/08), bought in 1381 the licence fee on Gilbert’s lands and, therefore, the hand of Maud . This was prior to the death of his own wife Margaret daughter of Ralph de Neville, widow of Lord William de Ros who died in the same year, allowing Maud & Henry Percy to marry soon after. The Crown allowed Maud to settle all her estates on the Earl’s son, Henry Percy (‘Hotspur), which excluded any heirs at law.
Maud de Lucy died without surviving issue on 18 December 1398, Henry Hotspur only outlived her for five years dying at the Battle of Shrewsbury in 1403
