 Nowhere in the de Lacy saga is there more dispute as to the true origins than in the pre-1066 history.      Following in-depth research into the family history, I offer you the de Lacy Chronicles answer to some of  the quoted anomalies.
Did the de Lacy family come from Lassy in Calvados? The name Lassy may have been there in Calvados long before the Lacy family came from elsewhere.
The name Lassy occurs in other parts of modern-day France, even as far south as the Pyrenees. Did the name derive from the Gaulish name Lascius?
There appears to be no local building evidence at Lassy commune to prove the de Lacy family wherever there.
