1. | Richard LE FORT was born in 1015 in Normandy, France; died in UNKNOWN. Notes: Our knowledge of the noble Fortescue family comes from several sources, including "A Branch of the Fortescue Family Tree - Richard le Fort to George Fortescue, Father of Joanna and James Fortescue", by G. and E. Tithecott; and also "A History of the Family of Fortescue in all its Branches", by Thomas Fortescue Lord Clermont (1869). The succesion of Fortescues in the latter source, with references, and with some modifications, is found in a Fortescue Internet site: www. fortescue.org. Yet another source for Fortescues in Buckland Filleigh is the book "Buckland Filleigh - A Continuous Thread", by Jane Taylor. Note that a few of the early names, places and dates in these sources do not agree, which is not surprising given the availablity and state of the relevant documents. Family/Spouse: MARE. was born in 1018 in Contenin, France; died in UNKNOWN. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart] Children:
