      Biography
      Aline Bassett was born in 1246, or about 1237 or 1230, probably in Wooten Basset, Wiltshire, England.

      Aline was the daughter and heir of Philip Basset.[1] Her father had previously been married to Helewisa, and, by the courtesy of England, held the manor of Wykes in the hundred of Tendring, in Essex, of Helewisa's inheritance, in chief of Sir Matthew de Luviayn alias Luvayn.[1] He later was married to Lady Ella.[1]

      Aline was married to Sir Hugh le Despenser,[1] in 1260 in Wycombe, Buckinghamshire, England. After his death, she sought the protection of her father, who was given Despenser's lands for his services to the king.

      Aline married her second husband, Roger Bigod Earl of Norfolk,[1] before 29 Oct 1271, and became Countess of Norfolk.

      Aline's father died on the morrow of Saints Simon and Jude (29 October 1271); Aline was his heir, or her husband Roger Bigod was in her right.[1]

      Aline died on or before 11 April, 1281, in Loughborough, Leicestershire, England.
