Alexander II had decided to partition the lordship between the Anglo-Norman husbands of Alan's three living daughters, Roger de Quincy (married to Ela), John de Balliol (married to Derborgaill) and William de Forz (married to Cairistiona).
The Castle and the Honor of Holderness passed on the death of William de Forz in 1241 to his son William de Forz, 4th Earl of Albemarle (died 1260).
It had also included the county of Aumale, but this had recently been lost to the French, along with the rest of Normandy.

The Earldom of Albemarle which he inherited from his mother, included a large estate in Yorkshire, notably the wapentake of Holderness, including the castle of Skipsea, and the honour of Craven, as well as estates in Lincolnshire and elsewhere.
