Sir Roland's son, Sir Ralph, married the sister of Alexander, Bishop of Lincoln, an opinion which is based upon the mention, in the charter of Alan Earl of Brittany and Richmond, of Robert de Aluers of that time, as son of the Bishop's nephew - son, that is of Geoffrey, son of Ralph and the Bishop's sister. This Ralph, the Duchess of Cleveland tells us, signed as witness to a charter of Robert Earl of Leicester's to St. Ebrulf's monastery, and he is probably the same Ralph de Aluers when we find signing, as on of Bishop Alexander's men, to a charter given by Robert Earl of Leicester to the Bishop.[1]

...Ralph left two sons, Roland and Geoffrey, of whom the elder, Roland, succeeded his father in Buckinghamshire and Berkshire estates, while Geoffrey received lands at Bourton in North Oxfordshire, and probably in Warwick also.[2]
