This marriage brought the name of Ranulf or Randolph into the family. It was Ranulf de Glanville who took prisoner the Scottish King, William the Lion, at Alnwick in 1174 and thus for the first time Scotland and the Scottish church was brought under subjection to England. Lord Robert Fitz Randolph commenced to build the Castle at Middleham A.D. 1190. Conan Earl of Richmond had previously given the forest of Wensleydale to Lord Robert. (The setting for Scene V, Part III of Wm. Shakespeare's play "Henry VI" was in a park near Middleham Castle in Yorkshire). Beauchief Abbey was built in 1183 by Robert as an act of contrition because he knew of a plot to assassinate St. Thomas of Canterbury and failed to warn the victim. (Ripley, Believe it or Not, 1960)
