In 1300, when Alice was sixteen, she married her first husband, Sir Thomas Leybourne (died May 1307), son of Sir William Leybourne, by whom she had one daughter: •
Juliana de Leybourne (1303/4 – 30 October/2 November 1367), married, firstly, John, Lord Hastings, by whom she had issue; secondly, Thomas le Blount; thirdly, William Clinton. On 28 February 1309, less than two years after the death of her first husband, Alice married secondly
Guy de Beauchamp, 10th Earl of Warwick, the only son of
William de Beauchamp, 9th Earl of Warwick and
Maud FitzJohn. He had been previously married to Isabel de Clare, the daughter of
Gilbert de Clare, 6th Earl of Gloucester and
Alice de Lusignan of Angoulême, but the marriage, which had produced no children, was annulled. Guy had already distinguished himself in the
Wars of Scottish Independence and was one of the
Ordainers, who sought to restrict the powers of the king. Guy de Beauchamp was one of the chief adversaries of Piers Gaveston, King Edward's favourite, who often referred to Guy as
The Mad Hound, due to the Earl's habit of foaming at the mouth when angry. In 1312, Guy de Beauchamp captured Gaveston and took him to his principal residence
Warwick Castle where Gaveston was held prisoner and afterwards murdered. Alice and Guy had two sons and two daughters: • Maud de Beauchamp (died 1366); she married Geoffrey de Say, 2nd Lord Say, by whom she had issue. •
Thomas de Beauchamp, 11th Earl of Warwick (14 February 1314 – 13 November 1369), married
Katherine Mortimer, by whom he had sixteen children. •
John de Beauchamp, Lord Beauchamp KG (1315 – 2 December 1360); carried the
royal standard at the
Battle of Crécy. • Elizabeth de Beauchamp (1316—1359); she married in 1328
Thomas Astley, 3rd Lord Astley, by whom she had two sons, William Astley, 4th Lord Astley and Sir Thomas Astley, ancestor of the
Astleys of Patshull and of Everley. Following the sudden death of Guy de Beauchamp at Warwick Castle on 12 August 1315, which was rumoured to have been caused by poisoning, Alice married, thirdly, on 26 October 1316, William la Zouche, 1st Lord Zouche de Mortimer (see
Baron Zouche), by whom she had a son and a daughter: • Alan la Zouche (bef. 15 November 1317 – 12 November 1346), 2nd Lord Zouche de Mortimer. • Joyce la Zouche (c. 1318/20 – 1372); she married John Botetourt, 2nd Baron Botetourt. ==Death==
