=== Life Sketch ===
Alice was the daughter of Richard Tong of Stock - Bracewell.
She is a descendant of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_I_of_England Henry 1st of England son of William the Conqueror.
See profile: 9CS2-22H and 9H17-VTZ
In one suit, Richard was a defendant in an action brought by Richard de Tong for land in Stock (next to Bracewell) (Coram Rege Ro. 88 Mich 35-6 H. 3, m. 28, EBT notes). There are further references to this dispute in the same roll (mm. 35, 60d, EBT notes). The final settlement of the dispute (20 January 1251-52) may be found in Feet of Fines for Yorkshire, YASRS, Vol. 82, p. 62 and footnote there referencing Assize Roll 1046, m. 60d. This dispute is noted in EYC (v. 7, p. 245, and v. 3, p. 390).

Richard had married Elena, daughter and co-heir with Richard de Tang (Tong), whose father gave her about 90 acres of land in Bracewell and Stock on her marriage. Their son, Richard, born about 1201, became Sir Richard Tempest, of Bracewell, the earliest known knight. 1201 is a rough guess.
