Roger Tempest married Alice, daughter of Elias de Rilleston of Rilleston in Craven. As "Alizcia filia Elye de Rilleston in ligea potestate mea et viduitate," she gave to the monks of Furness, the service & homage of Robert de Stiveton on 1/2 a carucate of land in Threpland and on 2 tofts in Crakhow. [Duch: of Lanc., Ancient Deeds, L.482. The 36 Rep: Dep: K. P. R. App. 1, p.186, dates it between 1188 and 1216]. The land is evidently that which she gave in free marriage with her sister Agnes to Robert de Stiveton and which Richard Tempest (her son) sometime before 1222-3 confirmed to this Robert as the gift of "Alicia mea dedit Roberto de Stiveton in maritagio cum Agneti mater tera mea" [Dodsw: MSS, vol. 83, fol. 14). Alice had land in Threpland by the gift of Helias (or Elias) de Rilleston, to which Eustace de Rilleston, grandson of Elias, released all title to the priory of Marton [Ibid. fol. 14d]. Andrew de Stoc, fil Norman, gave to Kirkstall Abbey 2 bovates in Brayzewell [Bracewell] one of which was held by Alice, widow of Roger Tempest and for which 30d were due to Richard Tempest [Kirkstall Chart., p.190].

Alicia married Roger Tempest, son of Richard Tempest and Unknown.¹²²⁶ (Roger Tempest was born about 1145 in Bracewell, Yorkshire, England ¹²²⁶ and died By Nov 1220 in Bracewell, Yorkshire, England ¹²²⁶.)
