ALAN Basset, son of THOMAS Basset [I] of Headington, Oxfordshire & his wife Alice de Dunstanville (-before 30 Sep 1230). "Thomas Bass" granted "manerium meum de Comptun cum terra de Berewic" to "Alano filio meo" by charter dated to [1180/82?], witnessed by "…Waltero de Dunstanvile, Alano de Dunstanvile, Fulcone Basset…Thoma Basset juvene…"[329]. "Thomas Basset", with the consent of "Gilleberti primogeni filii mei", granted "Cumtonam…cuius medietas fuit maritagium matris mee, altera…medietatis…fuit maritagium uxoris mee matris eorum" to "Alano filio meo fratri suo" by charter dated to [1180/82?], witnessed by "…Walterus de Dunstanvill, Alanus de Dunstanvill, Fulco Basset…Thomas Basset juvenis…"[330]. The Roll of Honour dated [1186/87] records that "Gilberto Basset…Alano Basset" held land in the honour of Walingford[331]. Military fee certifications in the Red Book of the Exchequer, in 1166, record that "Alanus Basset" held one knight fee "in Wokinges et Mapeldorwelle…ex dono Regis Ricardi" in Surrey, and one knight fee in Wycombe, Berkshire[332]. This entry must be redated to after 1189 if it is correct that the knight fees were granted by King Richard I. King John confirmed that “Waltero de Dunstanvill” had granted the manor of Winterbourne to “Alan Basset”, under a charter confirmed by King Richard I, by charter dated 10 Apr 1200[333]. The Red Book of the Exchequer records "Alanus Basset" holding "Berwike…de feodo Adæ de Port" and two knights’ fees "de honore Walingforde…in Wottone" in Wiltshire, and land "in Wokinges" in Surrey, in [1210/12][334]. Henry III King of England ordered "Petro de Maulay" to release "…Alanum Basset" from custody dated 21 Dec 1216[335]. A charter dated 1217 records that "Alanum Basset" granted the manor of Yarlington, Somerset to "Isobel quondam uxorem Willelmi de Monte Acuto" [as her dower] by charter dated 1217, witnessed by "Gilberto Basset, Warino Basset…"[336]. Alan presumably died before 30 Sep 1230, the date of the grant to his son Gilbert cited below.
[m firstly ALICE de Grey, daughter of --- (-before 15 Apr 1206). William Reedy, in the genealogical tables in the introduction to his collection of Basset charters, names "Alice de Gray" as the first wife of Alan Basset and mother of the sons shown below[337]. He does not cite the primary source which confirms that this is correct. Alice has not been connected with the Grey families. The similarity between “Alice de Gray” and “Aline de Gai” (Alan’s supposed second wife) is striking. Unless another source emerges which confirms the separate identity of Alan’s two supposed wives, it appears likely that he had only a single wife. In any case, the chronology of Alan’s sons, in particular the likely dates of the marriages of Gilbert and Philip, suggests that Aline de Gai (first named in 1206, see below) was their mother[338].
m [secondly] (before 16 Apr 1206, [1203 or before?]) ALINE de Gai, daughter of ---. A charter dated 16 Apr 1206 records a final settlement between "Thomam filium Ricardi et Aliciam uxorem suam" and "Alanum Basset et Alinam uxorem suam" relating to one knight’s fee in Broad Town, Wiltshire[339]. William Reedy names her “Aline de Gai”, as mother of the two older daughters named below (no source cited)[340]. The primary source which confirms her family origin has not been identified. The Victoria County History of Buckinghamshire records that King John granted Wycombe in Buckinghamshire to Alan Basset (with Robert Vipont) in 1203 and notes that “this grant represents the manor of Bassets Bury, which was held of the honour of Wallingford by one knight’s fee”[341]. The grant is also recorded (as Nova Feudamenta) in the Testa de Nevill, dated to 1212[342]. The Testa de Nevill (1212) also includes "Alanus Basset de hereditate uxoris sue ii milites" in its list of tenants of the honour of Wallingford[343]. The reference to two knights’ fees indicates that this was a different land holding. Nevertheless, the apparent connection between Wallingford and Alan’s wife suggests that she may also have held some undefined interest in Wycombe. If that is correct, the couple may have married in 1203 or before.
Alan & his [second] wife had three children:
6. ALINE Basset . The Testa de Nevill includes a list of landholdings in Dorset, dated 1219, which includes "Aluina que fuit uxor Drogonis de Monte Acuto est de donatione domini regis", adding that "est in custodia Alani Basset per Regem Johannem et est maritanda et terra sua in Pideltun valet xx.l"[379]. "Alan Basset" made a fine "by Richard Talbot" for marrying "Aline who was the wife of Drogo de Montagu…without the king’s licence", dated [Oct] 1224[380]. m firstly DREUX de Montagu, son of WILLIAM de Montagu & his wife Isabel --- (-before 1219). m secondly ([1219/24]) RICHARD [V] Talbot of Linton, son of GILBERT Talbot of Linton & his wife --- (-before 13 Apr 1234).

Biography
Birth and Parentage
Aline was the daughter of Alan Basset and Aline de Gai. Her birth date is uncertain.
Marriages and Children
Aline married twice. Her first husband was Drew de Montagu, son of William de Montagu, Sheriff of Somersetshire & Dorsetshire, Custodian of Sherborne Castle, Justiciar and Isabel, and took place before 1213.
They had at least one child:
1.) William.
Dreux de Montagu died by 1217, when a charter refers to Aline as formerly his wife.
Between 1219 and 1224 (when a fine was paid for the marriage being without royal license) Aline married Richard Talbot, son of Gilbert Talbot.
They probably had at least one child:
1.) Gilbert
The evidence for his being a son of Richard Talbot and Aline Basset appears to be indirect.
Research Notes
Previously-shown Son, Richard
Another son has previously been shown on WikiTree for Aline Basset and Richard Talbot: Richard Talbot. There appears to be no source for this relationship, and the sources given in his profile make it clear that he was a member of the branch of the Talbot family associated with Malahide, Ireland. He has therefore been detached.

=== [passmore4.ged] Ancestry.com 28174.GED ===
[passmore4.ged] Ancestry.com 28174.GED lists Aline as having been born in 1208 and lists the parents of Aline Basset as Philip Basset (b Wycombe, Buckinghamshire, England c 1184, d 29 oct 1271) and Hawise de Lovaine (b Little Easton, Essex, England c 1215). Philip Basset was the son of Alan Basset, (1155-1233) and Aline de Gai (1159-?). Other sources (LDS 23844377, Ancestry.com 10899.GED) list Aline as the daughter of Alan directly. 10899.GED lists another Aline as the daughter of Philip, so there were 2 Alines, which accounts for some of the confusion.
