• Background Information. 874
Alan, son of Roland, first appears in 1196 with lands at Teinford, Northampton, which apparently he held apart from his father. After his father's dath in 1200, he constantly appears as a witness in royal charters, and apparently took his share in public affairs. In July 1212, as a Scottish baron holding lands in England, King John, of England, asked for him to assist in John's invasion of Ireland. For coming to the aid of King John and for other services, King John granted him, 1213, a large number of fiefs in Ireland. To these were added the rights of forest and privileges of fairs and markets.
One of the last references to him in English records is a permit to him to send a ship to Ireland to buy victuals, between Candlemas and Michaelma 1232. He died in 1234 and was buried in the Abbey of Dundrennan. His first wife was the daughter of Reginald, Lord of the Isles, by whom he had two daughters. One of these daughters died while a hostage to the King of England. The other daughter was Elena, who married Roger de Quincy, who by right of her became Constable of England. He married a second time, 1209, to Margaret, eldest daughter of David, Earl of Hunting, by whom he had a son and two daughters. His third and last wife was a daughter of Hugh de Lacy, of Ireland, by whom he had no Issue.
