=== Richard Fitz Roy (natural son of King Jo ===
Richard Fitz Roy (natural son of King John), married Rohese , d. 1264/5, daughter of Fulbert of Dover. [Ancestral Root s]
Rose, daughter and heiress of Robert of Dover. [Burke's Pe erage]
Note: Rohesia's father could be called Robert, although Anc estral Roots named him Fulbert in two different lines.
Note: CP XIV:87 corrects CP II:127 in renaming her "Rose, d aughter of Foubert de Douvres" from her older name "Rohese , daughter of Robert de Dover". This apparently is her lat est name. But then CP VIII:518, as corrected by XIV:468, n ames her "Royce, daughter of Robert de Douvres" (sounds lik e a Rolls!). Rose/Rohese/Royce?
