M, b. circa 1271, d. before 15 March 1302
FatherFulk de Rycote III b. c 1250
     Fulk was born circa 1271 in Thame, Oxfordshire, England, at the Manor of Rycote. Fulk married Margaret le Despenser, daughter of Sir Adam le Despenser and Joan (?), circa 1293 in Thame, Oxfordshire, England, at the Manor of Rycote. Fulk departed this life before 15 March 1302 in Thame, Oxfordshire, England, at the Manor of Rycote.1,2

Important Notes: It is not known exactly how many Fulk de Rycote's there were. Some researchers say Fulk II [born ca 1225] was the father of a boy born in 1295, yet others say it was Fulk V who was the boy's father. It seems rather unlikely that a man born in 1225 fathered a boy in 1295. As to whether there is one or two other Fulk's, it is unknown. For now, two additional Fulk's have been inserted. New information is being added every day, hopefully this mystery can be unraveled. If anyone can come across any additional information, we would be most appreciative in learning about it. Many thanks. - klm.
