de Broc, Rannulf
Son of Oin Purcel (Fees, 67) and nephew of Nigel de Broc. Usher and marshal to Henry II. His usher serjeanty was located at Catteshill, in Godalming Hundred, Surrey (Fees, 67; Rotuli Chartarum, p. 161). From 1158 to 1168 he was receiver of the forest of ‘Witingelega’ in Hampshire. He supported the king during the Becket affair, and was put in charge of the possessions of the see of Canterbury. In 1166 he held half a fee from the honour of Arundel, at Angmering, Sussex (cf. Fees, 688), and from William de Winlesores, at Pepperharrow, a fee acquired by purchase. His wife Dametta de Gorron (Cur. Reg. R. viii, p. 135) brought him land at Frollebury, Hampshire, Chetton, Eudon and Berwick, Shropshire. At his death c.1179, he left five daughters and coheirs, of whom the eldest was Edelina, wife of Stephen of Turnham; the others were Felicia, wife of William Harang, Sibil, wife of William de Arundel and Ralph Belet, Lucy, and Clemence, wife of William de Tatlington. His widow Dametta died in 1204. Farrer, HKF iii, 70-71; VCH Hants iv, 254, Round, King’s Serjeants, pp. 98ff.

680 de Sai, Ingelran
Son of Jordan de Sai, seigneur of Aunay, and Lucy de Rumilly. Norman supporter of King Stephen who captured Baldwin de Redvers (Or. Vit. vi, 514). Captured fighting for the king at Lincoln in 1141 (ibidem, 546). Brother-in-law of Richard du Hommet, constable of Normandy. Father of a son Geoffrey (Arch. dépt. Calvados, H660).

de Sai, Isabel
Daughter and heiress of Elias de Say, Lord of Clun, Shropshire, c.1145 (Sanders, 112). She married first William fitz Alan (d.1160), secondly, Geoffrey de Vere (d.1170), lord of Clun in 1166, and thirdly, William Boterel III of Boscastle, Cornwall. She died probably in 1199, when her son William II FitzAlan succeeded her as lord of Clun.
Dugdale, Monasticon Anglicanum, IV, p. 76, no. IV

de Sai, Jordan
Jordan de Sai, seigneur of Aunay-sur-Odon, Calvados, arr. and cant. Vire. Perhaps son of William de Sai and Agnes, daughter of Hugh de Grandmesnil (Ord. Vit. iv, 230). He married Lucy de Rumilly, probably daughter and Norman heiress of Robert fitz Rainfred de Remilly by whom he had several sons, including Ingelran (q.v.), Gilbert and Peter, and a daughter Agnes who married Richard de Hommet, constable of Normany (for the affiliation of Agnes as daughter of Jordan, and not, as Clay, EYC vii, p. 32 suggested, of Gilbert, see Arch. dept. du Calvados H660, Histoire de l'abbaye d'Aunay). Jordan's career was Norman, but he acquired a smallholding in England under Henry I, partly at least in respect of his wife Lucy. In or about 1127 Henry I confirmed to the abbey of Aunay the foundation grants of Jordan de Say, his wife Lucy and sons Ingelran, Gilbert and Peter, in Aunay, Hérouville, Ranville and Asnières (in Calvados) and Cenilly and Remilly (Manche) and in England (Haskins, Norman Institutions, App. F, no. 8, pp. 297–98; RRAN ii, 1544). In 1141 the Empress Matilda confirmed William I de Say (q.v.) in the English lands of his father, whose career was presumably still primarily Norman. Jordan de Sai made a grant to Eynsham for the burial of his son William, attested by his son Rannulf, before 1161 and probably in 1148 (Cart Eynsham i, 153; Clay, EYC vii, p. 33). For a discussion of this family and its relationship to the Rumilly family of Remilly, see Clay, EYC vii, pp. 31–35. Le Harding, Etudes sur la baronnie et l'abbaye d'Aunay-sur-Odon.

de Sai, Petrus
Son of Jordan de Sai and Lucy.
Cronne/Davis, RRAN III, no. 29

681 de Sai, Theoderic
Probably son of William de Sai, a Domesday tenant of Roger de Lacy. He was active by 1100, when he attested a grant by Hugh de Lacy to St Peter's, Gloucester (Hist. S. Petri, iii, 256). He occurs as a benefactor of Shrewsbury abbey c. 1102 By 1126 he had been granted further holdings in Shropshire, at Wheathill, Stoke upon Tern and Stokesay, and Childrey in Berkshire.

de Sai, Willelm
Son of Jordan de Sai and Lucy de Rumilly. Married Beatrice, sister of Geoffrey II de Mandeville. Ally of Geoffrey by 1141, when the Empress Matilda granted him the land his father had held in England. The Ramsey Chronicle alleged that he died with his brother-in-law Geoffrey de Mandeville in 1144 (Chron. Rams., p. 347), but a Charter for St Neots (BL Cotton Faustina A iv, fol. 54, cited by Clay, EYC vii, p. 33), shows that he survived him by a few years. He left two sons, William and Geoffrey, at his death c. 1155, when William occurs in the Pipe Roll. See Foundation Book of Walden Monastery, pp. xix, xxvii-xxviii, xxix, lxxiv, 14-16, 86, which describes him as 'a man of fierce, warlike temperament, upon whose aid [Geoffrey de Mandeville] relied thereafter' (pp. 14–17).
Cronne/Davis, RRAN III, no. 275

de Sai, Willelm
Named as uncle ('avunculus') of William II de Say in the latter's Carta of 1166. Held one fee at Wheatenhurst, Gloucestershire, from his nephew. Also occurs as William de Say, brother of William de Say, who gave the tithe of a mill at Wheatenhurst to the abbey of Troarn (EYC vii, p. 33).
Red Book of the Exchequer, ed. Hall (1897), pp. 373–74

de Sai, Willelm II
Son of William de Say (d.c.1144) and Beatrice de Mandeville.

His immediate heir was his brother Geoffrey His daughter Beatrice was in 1190 recognized as heir of the Mandeville earls of Essex (Sanders, 71). See Foundation Book of Walden Monastery, pp. xxciii, lxxiv, 86, 88, 182.
