Note: Since Vitalis Engaine, son of the Richard Engaine of 1086, accounted for part of the lands of William de Lisores in 1130 it is most probable that Vitalis was father of Fulk de Lisores by a daughter of William de Lisores. This Vitalis son of Richard was the same Vitalis who controlled the Pytchley fee of his uncle William Ingaine, as indicted by his account in 1129/30 to 'rehave' his land of Laxton (PR 31 Henry I 82). By a second marriage, to the daughter of Fulk the sheriff, Vitalis was father of Richard II Engaine of Pytchley. Thenceforth, the Abington fee descended with Fulk de Lisores and the Pytchley fee with Richard II Engaine.
This simple solution was, in fact provided long ago by Hugh Candidus, p. 61 (Stapleton, 170 note), who wrote: Vitalis fuit pater Fulconis de Lisures, et Ricardi Engayne, qui genuit secundum Ricardum. The occurrence of both a Richard and Vitalis Engaine in the Northants Survey has confused the issue, since much of that document is anachronistic to its central date of c.1127 in referring back to Domesday Book or forward to a point in the 1170s.
