Beatrix de Vesci of Alnwick Castle, was an eleventh-century medieval noble lady of 
house de Vesci.[1]

Life[edit]

Daughter and sole heir of Ivo de Vesci,[2] Builder and first Baron and his wife, Alda,
[3][4] Beatrix de Vesci was one of the richest heiresses of her time.[5] She was the 
first wife of Eustace Fitz John, also known as Eustacius fitz John de Burgo, Constable 
of Chestershire and Knaresborough. [6]

According to Dugdale, Beatrix had two sons, William and Geoffrey.[7] However, it is 
most often said that she died during childbirth of her first and only son, William de 
Vesci.[8] William de Vesci took his mother’s surname and would become the ancestor 
of the de Vesci baronial house.[9][10] William served as Sheriff of Northumberland 
from 1157 to 1170,[11] and Sheriff of Lancashire from 1166 to 1170.[12]

Upon the death of Eustace Fitz John, his lands passed to his son William by consent 
of King Henry II.[13]

Beatrix de Vesci's grandson, Eustace de Vesci, was one of the Surety Barons of the 
Magna Carta.[14]
