  i. WILLIAM DE LANVALLAY [see next].
  ii. GEOFFREY DE LANVALLAY, of Westley (in Westley Waterless), Cambridgeshire, younger son. In 1223 the king granted him letters of protection, he then being in the king's service in Wales as a member of the household of his cousin, William de Mandeville, Earl of Essex. In 1227 Christian de Mandeville, Countess of Essex granted all her lands in the vill of Westley Westley Waterless), Cambridgeshire, together with the advowson of the church, to him and his mother, Hawise. In May 1227 the king ordered the Sheriff of Cambridgeshire to take the manor of Westley, Cambridgeshire into the king's hand, which the said Geoffrey held in his bailiwick. At an unknown date, he granted half of the manor of Westley, Cambridgeshire, together with his body for burial, to the monks of St. John Colchester. GEOFFREY DE LANVALLAY presumably died without issue, as the manor of Westley, Cambridgeshire subsequently fell to John de Burgh, the husband of his niece, Hawise de Lanvallay.
