     Joscelin de Louvaine The birth and ancestry of Josceline was as splendid as his estates were slender. He was a younger son by a 2nd wife of Godfrey, Count of Brabant and Louvain, and was descended through Louis IV, King of France, and his wife Gerberga, daughter of the King of Germany; son of Charles III, King of France, and Edgina, daughter of Edward, the Elder, King of England; son of Lewis II, King of France; son of Charles II, King of France; son of Lewis I, son of Charlemagne. Joselyn wedded Agnes upon condition that he should be called Jocelyn Percy, or else, that he should bear the arms of Lord Percy. He took counsel of his sister, the Queen, and chose to be called Jocelyn Percy rather than forsake his own arms ,for so he should have no right of title to his father's inheritance. The date of this marriage is not certain, but it was probably about 1150,when Agnes Percy was in her 17th year. Queen Adeliza conferred on her brother, by way of a wedding present, five and a half knights' fees in Yorkshire, and the honour of Petworth in Sussex. He lived for the remainder of his life in great splendour; and is chiefly remembered for the many rich gifts which he made to abbeys and religious houses.

     Henry de Percy Eighth Baron Percy Henry had livery of his father's lands in 1249 and was accorded permission to marry as he pleased, on payment of 900 pounds, a very large fine even for a baron. He inherited his father's 'faineant' nature, fighting valiantly in Wales and Scotland. He married Lady Eleanor Plantagenet, niece of King Henry III. This marriage knitted still closer the ties of relationship between the family of Percy and the reigning house, as Eleanor's mother was half-sister to King Henry III. He was born in 1228.

     William de Percy Seventh Baron Percy William de Percy was only 15 when his father died, and now became by right Baron de Percy, but his uncle, Richard de Percy, found no difficulty in usurping not only the administering of the entire estates of the family, but even the baronial title as well. He married Eleana, daughter of Inglegram de Baliol, and her relatives gradually induced William to assert himself. Richard defied every effort to dislodge him,and when the King himself was appealed to, a compromise was effected by which Richard was left in undisputed possession of the barony and estates until his death, after which William was to inherit both, to the exclusion of the usurper's sons, who died sine prole. When William, 7th Baron Percy, at length came into his own, he was in his 52nd year, and died in 1245. He was born in 1185 at Alnwick, Northumberland, England.

     Agnes de Percy was buried at Whitby Abbey. She Agnes de Percy, sister and co-heir, became sole inheritor of the line which for five generations had lorded it over the North Riding of Yorkshire. Last of the original family planted in Yorkshire by William, called Algernons, she passed on the great name and heritage to the sons whom she had borne to husband Josceline de Louvain. With her burial at Whitby Abbey began the story of the second and more splendid dynasty of Percy. While the Lady Agnes de Percy, eventual heiress of her race, was in her 16th year and as yet unwedded it occurred to the shrewd Queen Adeliza, 2nd wife of King Henry I, that no fitter match than this could be found for her own half-brother Josceline de Louvain. Accordingly she hastily summoned young Josceline from Brabant, and established him at court, where Agnes de Percy was a maid of honour. She was born in 1134. She died in 1205.

     Isabell de Brus was the daughter of Adam de Brus III and Joanna de Meschines.
