Ranulph III de Gernon le Meschines 1st/4th Earl of CHESTER Notes:

Chester was also Vicomte de Bayeux. He was also known as Ranulph de Briquessart. He succeeded to the title of Vicomte dAvranches on 25 November 1120 and was created Earl of Chester in 1121. He was Commander of the Royal forces in Normandy in 1124. He died either on 17 or 27 January 1128 at Chester and is buried at St. Werburgs, Chester. His wife Lucy survived him, and in 1130 paid 500 marks to King Henry for license to remain unmarried for 5 years. * Parents: \Ranulph Meschines, Viscount of Bayeux\ and \Maud (Margaret dAvranches)\ sister of Earl Hugh of Avranches - Gherbod II has beeen suggested as a father but this is very unlikely * Spouse: Lucy Countess of Chester. Ranulf DE BRIQUESSART "Le Meschin", Earl of Chester and Lucy Countess of Chester were married about 1098. * Children: Adelize/Alice DE GERNON, Ranulf de Gernon Viscount dAvranches, Earl of Chester. Ranulf de Meschines has arms which are, on the Queens Park Suspension Bridge, a white lion on a red ground and, in the stained glass of the Town Hall, possibly a red lion on a gold ground. To add further confusion some versions of the arms of his son Ranulf de Gernon (shown in the church window on his page) and that shown on the bridge also differ - the window shows a metallic lion on a red field, while the bridge shows the opposite. Could it be that one or the other has got the arms of the father and son mixed up? The arms on the lodge in Grosvenor Park don help much as they also show that the father and son had oppositely coloured arms, but in this case they have become blue and gold!
