Henry Fitz Gerold, who succeeded to Kingston Lisle in 1218, married Ermentrude Talbot and had a son and heir Warin alive in 1254 [Eynsham Cartul. loc. cit.; Anct. D. (P.R.O.), C 2135; Feet of F. Berks. 26 Hen. III, no. 25; 30 Hen. III, no. 3; Rôles Gascons, i, 472]. Warin evidently died without issue, for Alice, the daughter of Henry [Abbrev. Plac. (Rec. Com.), 311], was his ultimate heir.

She married Robert de Lisle of Rougemont [Blomfield, Topog. Hist. of Norfolk, ii, 242-3; Feet of F. Berks. 45 Hen. III, no. 3] and had two sons Robert and Gerard [Blomfield, loc. cit]. To the latter she granted in 1269 the manor of Kingston Lisle in tail to hold of her and her heirs [Feet of F. Berks. 54 Hen. III, no. 3]. Gerard had a son Warin [Wrottesley, Ped. from Plea R. 157], who was in possession in 1316 [Feud. Aids, i, 50] and settled the manor in 1320 on the heirs of himself and his wife Alice Tyes [Feet of F. Berks. 13 Edw. II, no. 3]. His lands were forfeited on his execution for rebellion in 1322 [Chart. R. 15 Edw. II, m. 4] and granted to Hugh le Despencer. They were subsequently restored to Alice, who was still in possession in 1336 [Cal. Chart. R. 1327\endash 41, p. 357]. Her heir was her son Gerard de Lisle [Chan. Inq. p.m. 1 Edw. III (1st nos.), no. 15; Wrottesley, loc. cit], who was summoned to Parliament as a baron in 1357 [G.E.C. Peerage, v, 113]. He had a son Warin [Chan. Inq. p.m. 34 Edw. III (1st nos.), no. 53], whose daughter and heir Margaret married Thomas Berkeley[Wrottesley, loc. cit.; Chan. Inq. p.m. 7 Edw. IV, no. 44].
