Biography
Beatrice de Beauchamp was born between 1107 and 1120, the heiress of Houghton Conquest, and daughter of Robert de Beauchamp, a son of Hugh de Beauchamp of Bedford.
She married Hugh de Morville, of Kirkoswald (born about 1115 in Kirkoswald, Penrith, Cumberland, England.) She was mentioned in a charter of Malcolm IV (1153-65) as wife of Hugh de Moreville. The marriage may have taken place about 1130.
She had at least two sons and two daughters. Hugh de Morville, Lord of Westmorland, inherited his estates of north England. He was a principal player in the assassination of Thomas Becket, Archbishop of Canterbury. He subsequently fell out of favour with the king and was forfeited (1174) when the Lordship of Westmorland (which he had inherited from his father who had received it from David I) was granted to his sister, Maud, whose husband was William de Vieuxpont.
Richard de Morville, possibly the second son, inherited the Scottish estates along with his father's lands in the honour of Huntingdon. He also successed in the constableship of Scotland.
It has been proposed that Simon de Moreville (d. 1167), of Kirkoswald in Cumbria, who married Ada de Engaine, heiress of Burgh-by-Sands in Cumbria, was a son of Hugh and Beatrice.
Before 1157, Hugh II's other sister, Ada married Roger Bertram, lord of Mitford, Northumberland.
It has been suggested that Grace, wife of the Cumbrian magnate Sir Hubert de Vaux, of Gilsland, was yet another daughter of Hugh and Beatrice.
She died after 1153.
