  === Life Sketch ===
  Born about 1110
  Daughter of [father unknown] and Letitia de Malpas
  Wife of Nigel de Puis
  Mother of Robert FitzNigel and William le Belward
  Agnes and her husband Nigel de Puis had adult sons called Robert, Richard and William.
  
  It seems probable that Agnes' eldest son, Robert, was the man known as Robert FitzNigel. Since his motheer was called "de Malpas" and certainly owned lands in Kegworth, this relationship would eplain how fitzNigel came to bein possession of lands in both places.
  
  The known beneficiaries of fitzNigel's lands in Cheshire were David the Clerk and his apparent brother Robert fizWilliam. One possible reasson could be that they were fitzNigel's nephews. William Belward may have been the same man as Agnes de Malpas' son William and thus Robert fitzNigel's brother. Robert fitzNigel apparently had no direct descendants, so it is perfectly possbile that his brother's sons were his heirs. Some seventeenth century material records that Belward's family came into possession of some of their Malpas lands in 1187 or 1188, immediately after fitzNigel's death.
  
  If Agnes was born in 1110, estimate her sons' birth years in the 1140's.
  
  Robert fitzNigel, died 1186
  Richard
  William, youngest, perhaps the same as William Belward.
