Certainly Keats-Rohan [Domesday Descendants pp. 558, 559] gives him only one
wife, and makes her the mother of Geoffrey de Lucy, Godfrey, bishop of
Winchester, Matilda, wife of Walter fitz Robert of Dunmow, Alice, wife of
Odinel de Umfraville, and Aveline, wife of Gilbert de Montfichet.

If that's accurate, it would identify her as a sister of Faramus, but it's
not clear what her evidence is. There are 2/3 of a page of references,
including an article E. Amt, "Richard de Lucy", Medieval Prosopography, 9.1
(1988). (Though that may relate to his grandson Richard.)

To this, Peter Stewart then added:

The full title of Emilie Amt's article is 'Richard de Lucy, Henry II's
Justiciar'. She gave him only one wife, name "Roysia", mother to all five of
the children ascribed to him.
