  "He [Richard Tracy Esq.] married Barbara Lucy, pupil of Fox, the Martyrologist, she was the daughter of Thomas Lucy, of Charlecote, in Warwickshire, and it was her nephew on whom Shakespeare took revenge, by writing in one of his plays as Justice Shallow, as it was before Sir Thomas Lucy, Shakespeare was arraigned for deer stealing. Richard Tracy, Esq., of Stanway, and Barbara Lucy had three sons and three daughters. He was sheriff of Gloucestershire in 1560, Barbara Lucy, his wife, was a descendant in the sixteenth generation from Hugh de Mountfort, son of Gilbert de Gamet and Alice Mountfort, and great grand-son of Baldwin V, Count of Flanders, who married Alice, daughter of Richard II, King of France. Through her ancestress, Judith, wife of Baldwin, the first Count of Flanders, Barbara Lucy descended from the Emperor Charlemagne, and through his ancestors, Alfritha, wife of Baldwin II, Count of Flanders, she was descended from Alfred the Great, and other Saxon kings of England." pages 6-7
