Although no contemporary document explicitly says so, 8406497Agnes is surely the daughter of 16812994William de Say. (Evidence: [1] 16812994William owned a manor at Streat, Sussex,1 which 8406497Agnes' husband 8406946Alexander later owned.2 [2] 16812994William had a son named William,1 and this son William served in the military with 8406946Alexander in 1276.3)

8406497Agnes' mother may have been 16812994William de Say's first wife, Sibyl ___4 (Indeed, Douglas Richardson's Royal Ancestry asserts that this is so.5), but I don't understand which contemporary evidence, if any, allows for such a conclusion.

8406497Agnes' brother William was born circa 1252 (On 20 November 1271, he was either 18 or 19 years old.1), so we can surmise that 8406497Agnes was born around roughly the same time.

8406497Agnes married 8406496Alexander de Cheyne. Their son 4203248William was born circa 1274.2
