Richard de Lucy, the son of Reginald and Annabelle, was born in 1179, and in 1180. the building of the tower and much of the surrounding wall of Egremont Castle commenced. It must have been completed by 1200 because Richard decreed in that year; "those who held burage tenure in Egremont should find armed men for the defence of the fortress, hold watch and ward and be bound to and in his redemption in case of capture"

Richard de Lucy died in 1215, and Thomas de Multon paid a thousand marks to the king for the wardship of the deceased baron's two daughters, Annabell and Alice, and married them off to his sons.

Lambert de Moulton, son of Thomas de Moulton, married Annabel and she took his name. Alice married Alan de Moulton, but he adopted his wife's name, took that part of her aunt's estate (Alice de Romelli , wife of William Fitz Duncan) which came to the family upon her death without children, and established himself at Cockermouth Castle.

Richard married Ada de Morville, daughter of Hugh de Morville Forester of Cumberland and Helwise de Stuteville, in 1200 in Cumberland, England.¹⁶⁰ (Ada de Morville died after 1230 in England ¹⁶⁰.)
