| 5557 | RESEARCH_NOTES: 1. “A Longstreet Family History,” by Rupert James Longstreet (DeLand, Fla., 1960), available on FHL film 2056005 item 3 or online at “OUR IMMIGRANT ANCESTOR. DIRCK STOFFELSE. The first record of the presence in America of our immigrant ancestor was made on June 14, 1663, when a list of "equipment and munitions of war" possessed by the Dutch settlers at Ameersfoort (Brooklyn) revealed that DIRCK STOFFELSEN was responsible for one pound of powder valued at one florin. (Documents Relating to the Colonial History of N.Y., II, 463) In September, 1687, there was a "roll of those who have taken the oath of allegiance in Kings County in the Province of New York ... in the 3rd year of His Maj Reigne", and in this roll, "off fflackland" we find entered: DIRCK STOFFELSE - 30 Jeare STOFFEL DIRCKSEN - native Intrepreted, this means that Dirck had lived in the colony for 30 years (which sets the date of his arrival as 1657) and that his son Stoffel was born in the colony. (Documentary History of New York, I, 431) The following ante-nuptial agreement found in the Gravesend Town Records, Bk 3 p. 114, gives us more information about Dirck: “To all Christian people to whom this present writing shall come: Know ye thatt I Dirck Stoffelsen living att Ameersfoort in Kings County upon Long Island in ye province of New York weduwaer of Catherine van Lewen deceased, being now remarried with Johanna havens widdow of Johannis holsard deceased my present wife: Therefore know ye thatt I Dirck Stoffelsen above sd being in perfect memorie make hereby my present loving wyf Johanna haavens in my last will and testament my sole joynty heir and executrix of all my whole estate both moveable and unmoveable onely excepted my eldest son Stoffel direcksen shale injoye a lumm for weavings, so as ye lumm comes from ye workman: in the time of a yeare from ye date here of above his tother brother and sister butt all my whole estate as above sd is left unto my loving wyf Johanna haavens: she to be my joynty heir and executrix duering her lifetime: without any molestation or disturbance by my children, or by thier procurement, att any time or times whatsoever hereafter; remarrion or nott remarrien, my loving wyf above shall remain my joynty heire and executrix. And therefore I Johanna havens widdow of Johannis holsard deceased, living in ye same towne and countie and province above specified, being now remarried with Dirck Stoffelsen my present husband I Johanna above sd being in perfect memorie, doe hereby as my last will and testament, make my present loving husband my sole and joynty heir and executor of all my estate moveable and unmoveable none excepted and if god should be pleased to give us children together in our marriage, them children then with the rest of our fore children: are to have equal portion together after our decease butt ye surviving of us either male or female is to possess both whole estates of both sides without molestation or disturbance of both parties theire children or anyone else of theire procurement att any time or times whatsoever hereafter: this is our will so to do being in perfect memorie, and in confirmation both parties have hereunto sett our hands this 18 of februa 1690/1. DIRCK STOFFELS JOHANNA HAVENS Subscribed and Acknowledged in the presence of us: ARSTEN JANSEN BARENT YUIANSEN JOHN EMANS: Clerke” We do not know the date of death of Dirck's first wife Catherine, but she was with him as witness to a baptism on 11-16-1684 (Documentary History of New York, 1898). As we see above, Dirck was remarried by Feb. 18, 1690/1. In 1698, there was a census of Flatland, Long Island, in which was listed the then family of Dirck Langstraat, consisting of "Men 1 Wo 1 Chil 3" (Kings County, New York, Genealogical Club Collections, III, 88). On 4-25-1696, Dirch is recorded with his second wife Johanna Havens at the Reformed Dutch Church in Brooklyn, witnessing the baptism of grandsons Jan and Dirck (History of Middlesex County, NJ, by Wall and Pickersgill I,79) The last known record of this family in Long Island is the following: (New York Genealogical and Biographical Record, 54:180) “Sept. 10, 1698: Antony Warshaer of Flatlands and Maritje his wife deed Stoffel Langstraat, Adrian Langstraat, Johannes Holsaer, Classje Lake and Cretje Williamse, late of Kings County, house, orchard, etc. in Flatlands bounded by property of John Vandyckhuys and Derick Amertman. The parties of the second part paying full value to Antony Holsaer, Benjamein Holsaer, Dirick Langstraat and Marytntje Langstraat when they are of age or marry the ninth part of said property. Signed by Antony alone. Wit by Henry Filkin and Ferdinand Vansycklyn, Jr. Ack. Sept. 15, Rec'd Sept. 16, 1698 before and by Henry Filkin, Reg. We know from the ante-nuptial agreement that Dirck had three children by his first wife Catherine, viz. eldest son Stoffel and a brother and a sister. In the Warshaer deed we learn the name of the brother, i.e. Arian (Adrian, Aaron). We learn the name of the sister, Classje, from (M-11). Thus Dirck's first three children, by Catherine, were: Stoffel, Adrian and Classje. The Warshaer deed names two more as minors in 1698, and therefore of the second marriage, i.e. Dirick and Maryntje. This list of five does not wholly agree with the Flatlands census of 1698. Who the third child of that list may have been remains undetermined. The list of five is also in disagreement with (Register of Early Settlers in Kings County, Long Island, New York, By T.G. Bergen), where Bergen states that the children of Dirck were: Stoffel, Classje, Adrian, Richard of Shrewsbury, Johannis (sup), and Samuel (sup). Berger may have counted Johannis Holsard of the Warshaer deed as a Longstreet, in error. Of his "Samuel", there is no present explanation. Nor do we know why Bergen credited "Richard of Shrewsbury" to a place as a son of the Immigrant Dirck, for the Warshaer deed again lists "Dirick" as a minor in 1698, and in any case born after 1690, as a son of Dirck and Johanna. In the light of such data as we now have, it seems likely that this "Richard" is a grandson of Dirck by his son Stoffel, and the author of will #2659M (see later); that is, he is the Dirick b. 1696 to Stoffel and Mayke Lanen. Therefore we shall proceed to develop his family history on the assumption that the immigrant ancestor founded his line upon the two elder sons, viz. Stoffel and Adrian (Aaron). Of his third son, by Johanna, we have no further data. DIRCK STOFFELSE [Children:] -Stoffel Dircksen b. ca. 1666 -Classje Dircksen b. ca. 1672 -Adrian (Aaron) bp. 9-16-1677 (Omitting Dirck's two children by his second marriage - Dirick and Maryntje - for neither of whom we have any record of issue.)” | Langestraet, Maryntje (I5733)

| 5558 | RESEARCH_NOTES: 1. “Royal Ancestry: A Study in Colonial & Medieval Families,” Douglas Richardson (2013): "ALICE DE MOHUN. She married (1st) WILLIAM DE CLINTON. They had no issue. He died before 1237. In that year, the king released the manors of Aston Chiveray and Oke (both in the parish of Aston Clinton), Buckinghamshire to her. She married (2nd) before 16 Dec. 1246 ROBERT DE BEAUCHAMP, Knt., of Hatch Beauchamp, Marston, and Shepton Beauchamp, Somerset, Maidencourt (in East Garston), Berkshire, Dorton, Buckinghamshire, Bolbury Beauchamp (in Malborough) and Tale (in Payhembury), Devon, Shepperton, Middlesex, etc., Justice in Eyre for the Western Counties, son and heir of Robert„de Beauchamp (also known as Robert Fitz Simon), of Hatch Beauchamp, Marston, Shepton Beauchamp, and Stoke-under-Hamdon, Somerset, Bolbury Beauchamp (in Malborough), Devon, etc., and, in right of his wife, of Maidencourt (in East Garston), Berkshire and Dorton, Buckinghamshire, by Juliane, illegitimate daughter of John Marshal, King's Marshal [see MARSHAL 2.i], elder brother of William Marshal, Earl of Pembroke. The maritagium of Alice de Mohun included the Soke of Mohun within and without the City of London between Fleet-Bridge and Charing. They had four sons, John [1st of name], John, Kilt. [2nd of name], Humphrey, Knt., and Robert (Parson of Stoke-under-Hamdon, Somerset), and two daughters, Isabel and Mary. He was repeatedly summoned to perform military service in various expeditions against the Scots and the Welsh from 1244 to 1263. In 1247-8, as "Robert de Beauchamp the younger," he granted John, Prior of Sandelford, Berkshire two quarters of corn yearly from his manor of Maidencourt (in East Garston), Berkshire. In 1251 he and his wife, Alice, conveyed to Richard, Abbot of Westminster the Soke of Mohun within and without the City of London; in return the Abbot released to Robert and his heirs the annual rent payable by him for the view of frankpledge of his manor of Shepperton, Middlesex. In 1254 he gave 5 marks and 10s. worth of rent at Bolbury Beauchamp (in Malborough), together with one ploughland in Tale (in Payhembury), Devon, to Walter le Chaumberleng and Joan his wife, in exchange for lands at Belstone and Upcote, Devon. In 1255 he and his aunt, Sibyl de Bermingham, were in default in respect of the manor of Dorton, Buckinghamshire; they absented themselves from suit of court for three years. In 1260 he was granted a weekly market and annual fair at his manors of Merston and Shepton, Somerset. At an unknown date, he granted to the Hospital of St. Mary Magdalene half an acre of land in his demesne of Tale, Devon next the meadow they have of the gift of Roger de Tale. At an unknown date, Walter de Wanci quitclaimed to him a virgate of land in the town of Sheen, Surrey, which Walter had of the gift of Michael Belet. At an unknown date, he appointed William de Plessis as his attorney against the Prior of Sandleford on a plea of rent. SIR ROBERT DE BEAUCHAMP died shortly before 25 October 1263. Following his death, his widow, Alice, had a liaison with James de Audley, Knt. (died in Ireland about 11 June 1272) [see AUDLEY 8], by whom she had one illegitimate son, James. In 1263 James de Audley procured the wardship of the lands and heirs of her late husband, Robert de Beauchamp. In 1265-6 Alice gave half a mark for a writ of pone in Berkshire. In 1269-70 she sued for the recovery of lands at Parkham (in Sadborough), Devon. The same year Alice sued the Prior of Frithelstoke, Devon for land in Belstone, Devon, alleging that her husband had demised it to the Priory during her coverture; the prior called John, son of Robert de Beauchamp, to warrant. About 1270 she released the manors of Fairlight, Sussex, Halewick, Middlesex, and Old, Northamptonshire to her son, James. Sometime before 1272 Alice purchased the manor of Hardwick, Oxfordshire from Ralph d'Aundeley. In 1272-3 she arraigned an assize of novel disseisin against James son of James de Audley, etc., touching a tenement in Horseheath, Cambridgeshire. In 1274 seisin of the wardship of the lands and heir of Hamon de Mascy were restored to her, she previously having them by grant of James de Audley, Knt. (died 1272). In 1273-4 the Prior of Birkenhead arraigned an assize of darrein presentment against Alice de Beauchamp, keeper of the land and heirs of Hamo de Masy, touching the church of Bowdon, Cheshire. In 1275 she was engaged in a lawsuit against Henry de Audley, son and heir of James de Audley, Knt., to recover the marior of Horseheath, Cambridgeshire; in 1278 Henry's brother and heir, William de Audley, conceded the manor to her and her son, James. In 1276-7 Alice arraigned an assize of novel disseisin against Alice widow of Adam de Merseye and Nicholas her son touching a tenement in Hors eheath, Cambridgeshire. At an unknown date, Alan de Scaleriis and his wife, Panel, and John son of William de Horsale conveyed lands in Horseheath, Cambridgeshire to Alice de Beauchamp for life, with successive remainders to her children, James, Mary, and Humphrey.

He died before 1237. In that year, the king released the manors of Aston Chiveray and Oke (both in the parish of Aston Clinton), Buckinghamshire to her. She married (2nd) before 16 Dec. 1246 ROBERT DE BEAUCHAMP, Knt., of Hatch Beauchamp, Marston, and Shepton Beauchamp, Somerset, Maidencourt (in East Garston), Berkshire, Dorton, Buckinghamshire, Bolbury Beauchamp (in Malborough) and Tale (in Payhembury), Devon, Shepperton, Middlesex, etc., Justice in Eyre for the Western Counties, son and heir of Robert„de Beauchamp (also known as Robert Fitz Simon), of Hatch Beauchamp, Marston, Shepton Beauchamp, and Stoke-under-Hamdon, Somerset, Bolbury Beauchamp (in Malborough), Devon, etc., and, in right of his wife, of Maidencourt (in East Garston), Berkshire and Dorton, Buckinghamshire, by Juliane, illegitimate daughter of John Marshal, King's Marshal [see MARSHAL 2.i], elder brother of William Marshal, Earl of Pembroke.

In 1247-8, as "Robert de Beauchamp the younger," he granted John, Prior of Sandelford, Berkshire two quarters of corn yearly from his manor of Maidencourt (in East Garston), Berkshire. In 1251 he and his wife, Alice, conveyed to Richard, Abbot of Westminster the Soke of Mohun within and without the City of London; in return the Abbot released to Robert and his heirs the annual rent payable by him for the view of frankpledge of his manor of Shepperton, Middlesex.

Following his death, his widow, Alice, had a liaison with James de Audley, Knt. (died in Ireland about 11 June 1272) [see AUDLEY 8], by whom she had one illegitimate son, James. In 1263 James de Audley procured the wardship of the lands and heirs of her late husband, Robert de Beauchamp. In 1265-6 Alice gave half a mark for a writ of pone in Berkshire. In 1269-70 she sued for the recovery of lands at Parkham (in Sadborough), Devon. The same year Alice sued the Prior of Frithelstoke, Devon for land in Belstone, Devon, alleging that her husband had demised it to the Priory during her coverture; the prior called John, son of Robert de Beauchamp, to warrant.

He was repeatedly summoned to perform military service in various expeditions against the Scots and the Welsh from 1244 to 1263. In 1247-8, as "Robert de Beauchamp the younger," he granted John, Prior of Sandelford, Berkshire two quarters of corn yearly from his manor of Maidencourt (in East Garston), Berkshire. In 1251 he and his wife, Alice, conveyed to Richard, Abbot of Westminster the Soke of Mohun within and without the City of London; in return the Abbot released to Robert and his heirs the annual rent payable by him for the view of frankpledge of his manor of Shepperton, Middlesex. In 1254 he gave 5 marks and 10s. worth of rent at Bolbury Beauchamp (in Malborough), together with one ploughland in Tale (in Payhembury), Devon, to Walter le Chaumberleng and Joan his wife, in exchange for lands at Belstone and Upcote, Devon. In 1255 he and his aunt, Sibyl de Bermingham, were in default in respect of the manor of Dorton, Buckinghamshire; they absented themselves from suit of court for three years. In 1260 he was granted a weekly market and annual fair at his manors of Merston and Shepton, Somerset.

Following his death, his widow, Alice, had a liaison with James de Audley, Knt. (died in Ireland about 11 June 1272) [see AUDLEY 8], by whom she had one illegitimate son, James. In 1263 James de Audley procured the wardship of the lands and heirs of her late husband, Robert de Beauchamp. In 1265-6 Alice gave half a mark for a writ of pone in Berkshire. In 1269-70 she sued for the recovery of lands at Parkham (in Sadborough), Devon. The same year Alice sued the Prior of Frithelstoke, Devon for land in Belstone, Devon, alleging that her husband had demised it to the Priory during her coverture; the prior called John, son of Robert de Beauchamp, to warrant. About 1270 she released the manors of Fairlight, Sussex, Halewick, Middlesex, and Old, Northamptonshire to her son, James. Sometime before 1272 Alice purchased the manor of Hardwick, Oxfordshire from Ralph d'Aundeley.

He married (1st) 11 Nov. 1100 MAUD OF SCOTLAND, daughter of Malcolm III (CeannMor), King of Scots, by his 2nd wife, [Saint] Margaret, daughter of Edward Ætheling [see SCOTLAND 1 for her parentage]. She was born in 1079. They had one son, William, and one daughter, Maud. His wife, Maud, died at Westminster 1 May 1118. He married (2nd) at Windsor, Berkshire 29 Jan. 1121 ALICE (or AELIZ, ALEIDE, ALEYDA, AELIDIS, ADELIDE, ADELIDIS, ADELAIDIS, ADELIZA, ADELIZE, ATHELICE) OF LOUVAIN, daughter of Gottfried (or Godefroy) I, Duke of Lower Lorraine, Count of Louvain, by his 1st wife, Ida, daughter of Otto II, Count of Chiny. She was born about 1103. They had no issue. By various mistresses, he had eight illegitimate sons, Robert [Earl of Gloucester], Richard, Fulk, Reynold [Earl of Cornwall], Robert, Gilbert, William de Tracy, and Henry, and nine illegitimate daughters, Maud (or Mathilde) (wife of Rotrou II, Count of Perche), Alice, Maud (or Mathilde) (wife of Conan III, Duke of Brittany), Juliane (wife of Eustache de Pacy, seigneur of Breteuil and Pacy), Mabel (wife of Guillaume Gouet, seigneur of Montmirail), Constance (wife of Roscelin de Beaumont), Aline (wife of Mathieu de Montmorency), Sibyl (wife of Alexander I, King of Scots), and Isabel.* HENRY I, King of England died at Lyons-la-Forêt (near Rouen), Normandy 1 Dec. 1135, and was buried at Reading Abbey, Berkshire. His widow, Alice, married (2nd) after Dec. 1136 but later than summer 1139 WILLIAM D'AUBENEY, Earl of Lincoln, afterwards 1st Earl of Arundel (or Sussex), hereditary Chief Butler of England, Privy Councillor to King Henry I [see CLIFTON 3]. They had four sons, William [2nd Earl of Arundel or Sussex], Reiner, Henry, and Godfrey, and two daughters, Alice (wife of Jean I, Count of Eu and Alvred de Saint Martin) and Olive. He was a witness to King Stephen's 2nd Charter of Liberties in 1136. He was created Earl of Lincoln c.1138. He gave shelter to Empress Maud at Arundel Castle in 1139, but afterwards adhered to King Stephen. His earldom was transferred from Lincoln to Sussex before Christmas 1141. In his own later charters he is styled Earl of Chichester. About 1145 he witnessed a charter of Henry Hussey as "Consul Willelmo de Cicesterr." His wife, Alice, presented to the prebend of West Dean in 1150. Alice, dowager Queen of England, died as a nun at Affligem Abbey in Brabant 25 (or 26) March 1151, and was buried at Reading Abbey, Berkshire. He was influential in arranging the treaty of 1153, whereby the Crown continued with King Stephen for life, though the inheritance thereof was secured to Henry II. He subscribed his name to this instrument as "Comes Cicestrie." By grant dated c.1155, King Henry II confirmed to him as "William, Earl of Arundel" the Castle of Arundel, with the whole honour of Arundel and all its appurtenances. He served as Joint Ambassador to France and to the Pope in 1163/4. He served as Chief Ambassador with Princess Maud to Germany in 1168. He was appointed joint Commander of the royal army in Normandy in 1173. In Sept. 1173 he assisted in the defeat near Bury St. Edmunds of the Earl of Leicester. He founded Buckenham Abbey, Norfolk and Pynharn Priory, Sussex. WILLIAM D'AUBENEY, 1st Earl of Arundel (or Sussex), died at Waverley Abbey, Surrey 4 (or 12) October 1176, and was buried at Wymondham Priory, Norfolk. [Footnote *: In 1824 the Scottish historian Chalmers stated that King Henry I of England had an illegitimate daughter, Elizabeth, who married Fergus, lord of Galloway (died 1161). [see Chalmers Caledonia 3 (1824): 250, footnote k ("Fergus [lord of Galloway] ... was a prince of some note, even at the court of Henry I. of England, is certain : as he took to wife, according to the heralds, genealogists, and chroniclers, Elizabeth, the natural daughter of Henry I.")]. Scots Peerage 4 (1907): 135-136 (sub Galloway), however, debunked Chalmers' statement, noting that the authorities quoted by Chalmers "do not bear out his assertion." Even so, other secondary sources have continued to repeat Chalmers' unfounded claim: See, for example, Mackenzie History of Galloway (1841): 167-172 ("Fergus ... married Elizabeth, illegitimate daughter of Henry I. of England"); Anderson Scottish Nation 2 (1862): 195 ("Fergus, lord of Galloway ... married Elizabeth, illegitimate daughter of Henry I. of England ..."); M'Kerlie Galloway in Ancient & Modern Times (1891): 155 ("It is necessary to repeat here that Fergus married Elizabeth, the natural daughter of King Henry I. of England."); Maxwell Hist. of Dumfries & Galloway (1896): 47-48 ("Fergus ... married Elizabeth, natural daughter of Henry I., and sister of Sibilla, who married Alexander I., brother of David."); Ramsay Angevin Empire (1903): 90, footnote 7 ("Gunfrith [i.e., Godred] was son of Olaf, by Afreca, daughter of Fergus of Galloway, by 'Elisabeth,' reputed natural daughter of Henry I."); Oram Lordship of Galloway (2000): 60; Green Henry I, King of England & Duke of Normandy (2006): Appendix I, Chart 2 (chart). Barrow Robert Bruce (1965): 36, footnote 2 notes that "Roger Howden calls Uchtred son of Fergus of Galloway a cousin of King Henry II (Gesta Henrici Secundi Benedicti Abbatis, ed. Stubbs, Rolls Ser., i, 80)," a relationship which Professor Barrow states "is best explained on the supposition that Fergus married a bastard daughter of Henry I." However, given that King Henry II of England had a Scottish grandmother, a more likely explanation of the kinship between the Galloway and English royal families is that the wife of Fergus was near related to the Scottish royal family, possibly being a sister of William Fitz Duncan, whose grandfather was Malcolm Canmore, King of Scots [died 1093]. This arrangement would make Uchtred son of Fergus and King Henry II of England related in the 3rd degree of kindred (or second cousins).] D'Achery Spicilegium 10 (1671): 612-613 (Continuatio Chronici Afflegemiensis: "Filia præfati Ducis Aleidis juncta matrimonio Regi Angliæ, post obitum secundi con jugis Afflegemiensis Claustri solitudinem ad reliquum vitæ ad humandum corpus elegit in domo turti Ecclesiæ contigua, cum una aut akera ancilla in Fratrum Afflegemiensiurn quieta taciturna multitudine solitaria habitavit, & beato fine quievit, de qua epitaphium: Aleidis Regina Anglim, filia Ducis Godefridi cum barba, Regnum suscepit in Anglia an MCXXI. obiit 9 Kal.

The first was William d'Aubigny pincerna who married Queen Adeliza, widow of King Henry I, and in her right became lord of the honour and castle of Arundel. He styles himself William Earl of Lincoln in three charters in which his identity is proved by references to his wife. They are in favour of Lewes Priory and the abbeys of Reading and Affligem-and in the case of Affligem there is also a charter of Adeliza referring to her husband as earl of Lincoln (Round, Geoffrey de Mandeville 3245; Warner and Ellis, Facsimiles, no. 14; E. de Marneffe, Cartulaire de l’abbaye de Affligem in Analectes pour servir à l’histoire ecclesiastique de la Belgique, 2o section, pp. 104,106). In royal charters it is usually impossible to distinguish him from his successor, William de Roumare, since the normal style of both was Willelmus comes de Lincolnia, or (before he was an earl) from his father, William d'Aubignypincerna, who died before June 1139 (Reg. iii. 973). If Robert de Torigny is right (Chronicles iv. 137) William had married Adeliza by September 1139, and it is tempting to assume that it was on his marriage that he was made earl of Lincoln, his connection with that county being that his mother, Maud Bigod, was a grand-daughter, and possible co-heiress, of Robert de Tosny of Belvoir. We do not know precisely when he was transferred from Lincoln to Sussex, but it was certainly by Christmas 1141 when he attested a charter as Comite Willelmo de Sudsexa (Reg. iii. 276).").

They had one son, Guillaume [seigneur of Montmirail]. He joined his parents and his brothers, Robert and Matthew, in the foundation of the Priory of St. Giles des Chateigniers as a cell of Tiron. In 1114, as William Gouet junior, he was one of the nobles of Thibaut, Count of Chartres, whom the count called to advise him. In 1116, with his father and mother, he gave judgment in a dispute between the abbey of Marmoutier and Gaston de Brou. As "Guillaume Goët le jeune," he witnessed a charter of Guillaume de Mesmerand to the leproserie of Chateaudun c.1120. He succeeded his father before c.1125. He made an agreement c.1125 with the Prior of Saint-Denis de Nogent regarding the churches of Ceton and Saint-Ulphace. He likewise gave c.1125 to the monks of Saint-Denis the church of Unverre that Gaston de Brou gave them and that his mother Eustachie unjustly retained; for which gift he received 10 livres and his wife, Mabel, 100 sous. About 1127 he witnessed a charter of Ives de Courville, by which he quitclaimed his land in Courville to Thibaut IV, Count of Blois. In 1136 he granted various privileges to Tiron Abbey. In 1140 he confirmed the gift of Bois-Ruffin made by Ursion de Meslay. Guizot Hist. des Ducs de Normandie par Guillaume de Jumièges (1826): 284-286 (Guillaume de Jumièges, Histoire des Normands, Liv.

He married (1st) 11 Nov. 1100 MAUD OF SCOTLAND, daughter of Malcolm III (CeannMor), King of Scots, by his 2nd wife, [Saint] Margaret, daughter of Edward Ætheling [see SCOTLAND 1 for her parentage]. She was born in 1079. They had one son, William, and one daughter, Maud. His wife, Maud, died at Westminster 1 May 1118. He married (2nd) at Windsor, Berkshire 29 Jan. 1121 ALICE (or AELIZ, ALEIDE, ALEYDA, AELIDIS, ADELIDE, ADELIDIS, ADELAIDIS, ADELIZA, ADELIZE, ATHELICE) OF LOUVAIN, daughter of Gottfried (or Godefroy) I, Duke of Lower Lorraine, Count of Louvain, by his 1st wife, Ida, daughter of Otto II, Count of Chiny. She was born about 1103. They had no issue. By various mistresses, he had eight illegitimate sons, Robert [Earl of Gloucester], Richard, Fulk, Reynold [Earl of Cornwall], Robert, Gilbert, William de Tracy, and Henry, and nine illegitimate daughters, Maud (or Mathilde) (wife of Rotrou II, Count of Perche), Alice, Maud (or Mathilde) (wife of Conan III, Duke of Brittany), Juliane (wife of Eustache de Pacy, seigneur of Breteuil and Pacy), Mabel (wife of Guillaume Gouet, seigneur of Montmirail), Constance (wife of Roscelin de Beaumont), Aline (wife of Mathieu de Montmorency), Sibyl (wife of Alexander I, King of Scots), and Isabel.* HENRY I, King of England died at Lyons-la-Forêt (near Rouen), Normandy 1 Dec. 1135, and was buried at Reading Abbey, Berkshire. His widow, Alice, married (2nd) after Dec. 1136 but later than summer 1139 WILLIAM D'AUBENEY, Earl of Lincoln, afterwards 1st Earl of Arundel (or Sussex), hereditary Chief Butler of England, Privy Councillor to King Henry I [see CLIFTON 3]. They had four sons, William [2nd Earl of Arundel or Sussex], Reiner, Henry, and Godfrey, and two daughters, Alice (wife of Jean I, Count of Eu and Alvred de Saint Martin) and Olive. He was a witness to King Stephen's 2nd Charter of Liberties in 1136. He was created Earl of Lincoln c.1138. He gave shelter to Empress Maud at Arundel Castle in 1139, but afterwards adhered to King Stephen. His earldom was transferred from Lincoln to Sussex before Christmas 1141. In his own later charters he is styled Earl of Chichester. About 1145 he witnessed a charter of Henry Hussey as "Consul Willelmo de Cicesterr." His wife, Alice, presented to the prebend of West Dean in 1150. Alice, dowager Queen of England, died as a nun at Affligem Abbey in Brabant 25 (or 26) March 1151, and was buried at Reading Abbey, Berkshire. He was influential in arranging the treaty of 1153, whereby the Crown continued with King Stephen for life, though the inheritance thereof was secured to Henry II. He subscribed his name to this instrument as "Comes Cicestrie." By grant dated c.1155, King Henry II confirmed to him as "William, Earl of Arundel" the Castle of Arundel, with the whole honour of Arundel and all its appurtenances. He served as Joint Ambassador to France and to the Pope in 1163/4. He served as Chief Ambassador with Princess Maud to Germany in 1168. He was appointed joint Commander of the royal army in Normandy in 1173. In Sept. 1173 he assisted in the defeat near Bury St. Edmunds of the Earl of Leicester. He founded Buckenham Abbey, Norfolk and Pynharn Priory, Sussex. WILLIAM D'AUBENEY, 1st Earl of Arundel (or Sussex), died at Waverley Abbey, Surrey 4 (or 12) October 1176, and was buried at Wymondham Priory, Norfolk. [Footnote *: In 1824 the Scottish historian Chalmers stated that King Henry I of England had an illegitimate daughter, Elizabeth, who married Fergus, lord of Galloway (died 1161). [see Chalmers Caledonia 3 (1824): 250, footnote k ("Fergus [lord of Galloway] ... was a prince of some note, even at the court of Henry I. of England, is certain : as he took to wife, according to the heralds, genealogists, and chroniclers, Elizabeth, the natural daughter of Henry I.")]. Scots Peerage 4 (1907): 135-136 (sub Galloway), however, debunked Chalmers' statement, noting that the authorities quoted by Chalmers "do not bear out his assertion." Even so, other secondary sources have continued to repeat Chalmers' unfounded claim: See, for example, Mackenzie History of Galloway (1841): 167-172 ("Fergus ... married Elizabeth, illegitimate daughter of Henry I. of England"); Anderson Scottish Nation 2 (1862): 195 ("Fergus, lord of Galloway ... married Elizabeth, illegitimate daughter of Henry I. of England ..."); M'Kerlie Galloway in Ancient & Modern Times (1891): 155 ("It is necessary to repeat here that Fergus married Elizabeth, the natural daughter of King Henry I. of England."); Maxwell Hist. of Dumfries & Galloway (1896): 47-48 ("Fergus ... married Elizabeth, natural daughter of Henry I., and sister of Sibilla, who married Alexander I., brother of David."); Ramsay Angevin Empire (1903): 90, footnote 7 ("Gunfrith [i.e., Godred] was son of Olaf, by Afreca, daughter of Fergus of Galloway, by 'Elisabeth,' reputed natural daughter of Henry I."); Oram Lordship of Galloway (2000): 60; Green Henry I, King of England & Duke of Normandy (2006): Appendix I, Chart 2 (chart). Barrow Robert Bruce (1965): 36, footnote 2 notes that "Roger Howden calls Uchtred son of Fergus of Galloway a cousin of King Henry II (Gesta Henrici Secundi Benedicti Abbatis, ed. Stubbs, Rolls Ser., i, 80)," a relationship which Professor Barrow states "is best explained on the supposition that Fergus married a bastard daughter of Henry I." However, given that King Henry II of England had a Scottish grandmother, a more likely explanation of the kinship between the Galloway and English royal families is that the wife of Fergus was near related to the Scottish royal family, possibly being a sister of William Fitz Duncan, whose grandfather was Malcolm Canmore, King of Scots [died 1093]. This arrangement would make Uchtred son of Fergus and King Henry II of England related in the 3rd degree of kindred (or second cousins).] D'Achery Spicilegium 10 (1671): 612-613 (Continuatio Chronici Afflegemiensis: "Filia præfati Ducis Aleidis juncta matrimonio Regi Angliæ, post obitum secundi con jugis Afflegemiensis Claustri solitudinem ad reliquum vitæ ad humandum corpus elegit in domo turti Ecclesiæ contigua, cum una aut akera ancilla in Fratrum Afflegemiensiurn quieta taciturna multitudine solitaria habitavit, & beato fine quievit, de qua epitaphium: Aleidis Regina Anglim, filia Ducis Godefridi cum barba, Regnum suscepit in Anglia an MCXXI. obiit 9 Kal.

The first was William d'Aubigny pincerna who married Queen Adeliza, widow of King Henry I, and in her right became lord of the honour and castle of Arundel. He styles himself William Earl of Lincoln in three charters in which his identity is proved by references to his wife. They are in favour of Lewes Priory and the abbeys of Reading and Affligem-and in the case of Affligem there is also a charter of Adeliza referring to her husband as earl of Lincoln (Round, Geoffrey de Mandeville 3245; Warner and Ellis, Facsimiles, no. 14; E. de Marneffe, Cartulaire de l’abbaye de Affligem in Analectes pour servir à l’histoire ecclesiastique de la Belgique, 2o section, pp. 104,106). In royal charters it is usually impossible to distinguish him from his successor, William de Roumare, since the normal style of both was Willelmus comes de Lincolnia, or (before he was an earl) from his father, William d'Aubignypincerna, who died before June 1139 (Reg. iii. 973). If Robert de Torigny is right (Chronicles iv. 137) William had married Adeliza by September 1139, and it is tempting to assume that it was on his marriage that he was made earl of Lincoln, his connection with that county being that his mother, Maud Bigod, was a grand-daughter, and possible co-heiress, of Robert de Tosny of Belvoir. We do not know precisely when he was transferred from Lincoln to Sussex, but it was certainly by Christmas 1141 when he attested a charter as Comite Willelmo de Sudsexa (Reg. iii. 276).").

He was created Earl of Cornwall about April 1141. He and Robert, Earl of Leicester, were recognized by contemporaries as "the most powerful men in the kingdom." His wife, Mabel, fell into insanity in the 1140s. He witnessed a charter of Henry d'Oilly in the period, 1114-47. In 1153 he witnessed the agreement between King Stephen and Henry, Duke of Normandy [afterwards King Henry II]. He and Robert, Earl of Leicester, acted as intermediary between the king and Thomas Becket at Northampton in 1164. He played a major part in opposing the rebels of 1173-4 in England.

They had one son, Guillaume [seigneur of Montmirail]. He joined his parents and his brothers, Robert and Matthew, in the foundation of the Priory of St. Giles des Chateigniers as a cell of Tiron. In 1114, as William Gouet junior, he was one of the nobles of Thibaut, Count of Chartres, whom the count called to advise him. In 1116, with his father and mother, he gave judgment in a dispute between the abbey of Marmoutier and Gaston de Brou. As "Guillaume Goët le jeune," he witnessed a charter of Guillaume de Mesmerand to the leproserie of Chateaudun c.1120. He succeeded his father before c.1125. He made an agreement c.1125 with the Prior of Saint-Denis de Nogent regarding the churches of Ceton and Saint-Ulphace. He likewise gave c.1125 to the monks of Saint-Denis the church of Unverre that Gaston de Brou gave them and that his mother Eustachie unjustly retained; for which gift he received 10 livres and his wife, Mabel, 100 sous. About 1127 he witnessed a charter of Ives de Courville, by which he quitclaimed his land in Courville to Thibaut IV, Count of Blois. In 1136 he granted various privileges to Tiron Abbey.

He married (1st) ISABEL ___. They had no known issue. He married (2nd) before 1 Jan. 1204 (date of charter) AGNES DE DAMMARTIN, daughter of Aubrey II, Count of Dammartin, by Mahaut, daughter of Renaud II, Count of Clermont-en-Beauvaisis [see DAMMARTIN 3 for her ancestry]. They had three sons, Enguerrand (or Ingram), Knt., Michael [Rector of Walkern, Hertfordshire, Dean of Bridgnorth], and Baldwin, Knt., and four daughters, Mahaut (wife of Baldwin III, Count of Guines), Katherine, (wife of Flamunscheye), and allegedly ___ (wife of Bartholomew de Hampden). In 1204 he acknowledged he would receive a rent of five sous sterling from Andres Abbey, instead of the cappa the monastery formerly gave him to be their protector. In 1206 the king granted him such plenary seisin of the manor of Mattock, Somerset, as his mother Sibyl had held. In October 1207, with consent of his wife, Agnes, he confirmed to Saint-Josse Abbey the earlier gift of his grandfather, Pharamus de Tingri, of the tithe of Sombres. In a charter dated August 1210 Guillaume provided that the monks of Ardres Abbey should keep the anniversary of his former wife Isabel. In 1216 he was deprived of his manor of Mattock, Somerset, he then being with the king's enemies. In 1218 he paid the king 200 marks for having seisin of the manor of Wendover, Buckinghamshire. In 1221 he paid 100 marks to the king for custody of the lands of Arnold, Count of Guines, in Kent, excluding land in Bedfordshire already commited to Henry de Trubleville. In 1227 he was preemptorily ordered to stop molesting the abbot of Missenden Abbey in respect of the latter's free tenement in Wendover, Buckinghamshire. In 1229 he made fine with the king by 40 marks, so that he is not to cross with the king at his first crossing at Michaelmas in 15 days. At an unknown date, he gave the canons of St. Mary Missenden all the land which Wimond held of him in Wendover, Buckinghamshire, together with Wimond himself and his progeny. On 4 July 1240 the king, upon the death of Guillaume (or William) de Fiennes, took homage from Enguerrand, son and heir of the same Guillaume, for the lands that he held of the king in chief. In 1244 his widow, Agnes, was granted administration of the manor of Martock, Somerset on behalf of their son and heir, Enguerrand.

He married (1st) ISABEL ___. They had no known issue. He married (2nd) before 1 Jan. 1204 (date of charter) AGNES DE DAMMARTIN, daughter of Aubrey II, Count of Dammartin, by Mahaut, daughter of Renaud II, Count of Clermont-en-Beauvaisis [see DAMMARTIN 3 for her ancestry]. They had three sons, Enguerrand (or Ingram), Knt., Michael [Rector of Walkern, Hertfordshire, Dean of Bridgnorth], and Baldwin, Knt., and four daughters, Mahaut (wife of Baldwin III, Count of Guines), Katherine, (wife of Flamunscheye), and allegedly ___ (wife of Bartholomew de Hampden). In 1204 he acknowledged he would receive a rent of five sous sterling from Andres Abbey, instead of the cappa the monastery formerly gave him to be their protector. In 1206 the king granted him such plenary seisin of the manor of Mattock, Somerset, as his mother Sibyl had held. In October 1207, with consent of his wife, Agnes, he confirmed to Saint-Josse Abbey the earlier gift of his grandfather, Pharamus de Tingri, of the tithe of Sombres. In a charter dated August 1210 Guillaume provided that the monks of Ardres Abbey should keep the anniversary of his former wife Isabel. In 1216 he was deprived of his manor of Mattock, Somerset, he then being with the king's enemies. In 1218 he paid the king 200 marks for having seisin of the manor of Wendover, Buckinghamshire. In 1221 he paid 100 marks to the king for custody of the lands of Arnold, Count of Guines, in Kent, excluding land in Bedfordshire already commited to Henry de Trubleville. In 1227 he was preemptorily ordered to stop molesting the abbot of Missenden Abbey in respect of the latter's free tenement in Wendover, Buckinghamshire. In 1229 he made fine with the king by 40 marks, so that he is not to cross with the king at his first crossing at Michaelmas in 15 days. At an unknown date, he gave the canons of St. Mary Missenden all the land which Wimond held of him in Wendover, Buckinghamshire, together with Wimond himself and his progeny. On 4 July 1240 the king, upon the death of Guillaume (or William) de Fiennes, took homage from Enguerrand, son and heir of the same Guillaume, for the lands that he held of the king in chief. In 1244 his widow, Agnes, was granted administration of the manor of Martock, Somerset on behalf of their son and heir, Enguerrand.

He married MAHAUT (or MATHILDE) OF CLERMONT, daughter of Renaud II, Count of Clermont-en-Beauvaisis, by Clemence, Countess of Dammartin, daughter of Renaud I, Count of Bar-le-Duc [see CLERMONT 2 for her ancestry]. They had three sons, Renaud [Count of Boulogne, Dammartin, and Mortain], Simon [Count of Aumale, Ponthieu, and Monstreuil], and Raoul, and four daughters, Alix (or Aleide, Adelicia) (wife of Jean II, seigneur of Trie), Agnes, Clemence (wife of Jacques de Prische, 4th son of Guillaume, Chatelain of Saint Omer), and Juliane. In 1174 either he or his father, Aubrey, as "Aubrey Count of Dammartin," witnessed a charter of Ralph Fitz Ralph Fitz Reinger and his brother, Hugh, to Rufford Abbey. About 1175, as Aubrey, Count of Dammartin, he granted Missenden Abbey the hermitage and chapel of Muswell, together with the tithe of the demesne of Piddington, Oxfordshire; this grant was made with the consent of his son and heir, Renaud. In 1177, as "Aubrey Count of Dammartin," he witnessed a charter of his brother-in-law, Raoul, Count of Clermont. Some time before 1184 he successfully claimed to have an hereditary right to Merton, Oxfordshire; he subsequently obtained a charter from King Henry II confirming the manor of Merton to himself and his son Renaud with all the rights that their ancestors had enjoyed under King Henry I. In 1183-4, as "Aubrey, Count of Dammartin," he issued a charter confirming the previous grant of Merton, Oxfordshire to the Templars, excepting the fee and tenement of Guy of Merton and his heirs, the overlordship of which Aubrey reserved to himself. Sometime before 1184 Earl Simon de Semis confirmed to Aubrey and his son, Renaud, lands in Beachampton (in Great Staughton) and Southoe, Huntingdonshire. In 1185 he and his wife, Countess Mathilde, and his son, Renaud, Count of Boulogne, issued a charter to the canons and prior of Dammartin. In 1193 he and his wife, Mathilde, witnessed a charter of their son-in-law, Jean de Trie, to the Abbey of St.-Paul. In 1194 the manor of Piddington, Oxfordshire, was described as lately belonging to the Count of Dammartin, it then being in royal hands as an escheat. In 1200 he granted the Priory of Saint-Leu d'Esserent 40 shilling Parisien of rent. In 1202 [sic] he and his wife, Mathilde, gave the chapel of their manor of Rouville to the church of Alisay. AUBREY II, Count of Dammartin-en-Goële, died at London 19 Sept. 1200, and was buried in the Abbey of Jumièges. He left a testament dated 20 [sic] Sept. 1200. His widow, Mahout, was co-heiress in 1218 to her great-nephew, Thibaut, Count of Blois and Clermont. In 1218 she quitclaimed her rights in the comté of Clermont to King Philippe Auguste.

Sometime before 1184 Simon Earl of Huntingdon and Northampton granted him the manor of Wrestlingworth, Bedfordshire. In 1189 he was granted the castle and forest of Lillebonne, Normandy by King Henry II. In 1198 King Richard I confirmed to him the forest of Lillebonne and the inheritance in England and in Normandy of his wife, Ida, as count Mathieu held it, and all the inheritance of his father count Aubrey de Dammartin. The same year the king granted him the manor of Bampton, Oxfordshire. In 1202 King Philippe granted him the fortress and county of Aumale. Following Renaud's defection from the England king in 1203, the manor of Bampton passed in custody to Geoffrey Fitz Peter, Earl of Essex. In 1204-6 King Philippe Auguste granted Mortain and Saint-James in Normandy to Count Renaud and his brother, Simon, only to confiscate them once more in 1211. In 1212 King John restored to him the manors of Wrestlingworth, Bedfordshire, Kirton-in-Lindsay, Lincolnshire, Bampton, Cold Norton, and Piddington, Oxfordshire, Ryhall, Rutland, and Little Haugh (in Norton), Suffolk. He was defeated by King Philippe Auguste at the Battle of Bouvines in 1214, and forfeited his title of count. Although still regarded as part of Renaud's honour of Boulogne after his capture at the Battle of Bouvines, the manor of Bampton, Oxfordshire was granted at pleasure in 1217 to Fawkes de Breaute.

Sometime during the period, c.1278-82, Patrick witnessed a charter of Guy de Bryan to the burgesses of Laugharne, Carmarthenshire, Wales. He was heir in 1279 to his older brother, Pain de Chaworth, Knt. In 1279-80 Walter atte Berewe arraigned an assize of novel disseisin against Patrick de Chaworth and others touching a tenement in Etloe, Gloucestershire. In 1280-1 the king granted murage to the bailiffs and men of Kidwelly, Carmarthenshire for a term of five years at the instance of Patrick de Chaworth their lord. Patrick fought in Wales in 1282. On 6 June 1283, he confirmed the gift of his brother, Pain de Chaworth, to Godstow Abbey, which provided for the anniversaries of the obits of their mother, Hawise, and grandmother, Eve. SIR PATRICK DE CHAWORTH died testate shortly before 7 July 1283. His widow, Isabel, married (2nd) between 10 Sept. 1285 (record of Highworth Hundred Rolls) and 27 Jan. 1287 (date of fine for marrying without license) HUGH LE DESPENSER, Knt., of Loughborough, Arnesby, Barrow, Beaumanor, and Hugglescote (in Ibstock), Leicestershire, Ryhall, Rutlandshire, Wycombe, Buckinghamshire, Maplederwell, Hampshire, Woking, Surrey, Broad Town (then in Cliff-Pippard), Eastern (in Wootton Basset), Wootton Basset, Wiltshire, Barrowby, Hillam, Parlington, and Shippen [Ho], Yorkshire, etc., Justice of the Forest south of Trent, 1297-1307, 1308-11, 1312-15, 1324-6, Privy Councillor, 1297, Warden of the Coasts south of Trent, 1303, Constable of Devizes, Marlborough, Odiham, St. Briavel's, and Striguil Castles, son and heir of Hugh le Despenser, Knt., of Loughborough, Leicestershire, Justiciar of England, by Aline (or Aveline), daughter and heiress of Philip Basset, Knt., Justiciar of England.

[2nd Lord Despenser], and Philip, Knt., and four daughters, Aline (wife of Edward Burnell, Knt., Lord Burnell), Isabel, Margaret, and Elizabeth. He was heir in 1275 to his cousin, John le Despenser, by which he inherited the manor of Arnesby, Leicestershire. A letter of William de Valence to John de Kirkby indicates that the Queen exacted 1,000 marks from Hugh because of his marriage. In Jan. 1285 the king took the manor of Bollington, Cheshire because Hugh took emends of ale without warrant. In 1286 and again in 1287, he appointed attorneys, he then going beyond seas. He released all right to his lands and tenements in Soham, Cambridgeshire and Bollington in Macclesfield, Cheshire to the king in 1286-7. He was with the king in Gascony in 1287. In 1289 he was going beyond seas with Roger le Bigod, Earl of Norfolk. He presented to the churches of Cossington, Leicestershire, 1289, Stoke Brueme, Northamptonshire, 1292, 1304, and Winterbourne Houghton, Dorset, 1316, 1317. In 1292 he was granted a weekly market and year fair at Arnesby, Leicestershire. In 1293 he had license to enclosed 30 acres of wood adjoining his park at Fastern (in Wootton Basset), Wiltshire. In 1293-4 he claimed to have view of frankpledge in his manor of Barrowby, Hillam, Parlington, and Shippen [Ho], Yorkshire, and that he and his men were free from suits of counties, hundreds/wapentakes/ridings, and from sheriff's aid and murdrum and view of frankpledge. He was appointed an envoy to treat with the King of the Romans in 1294. He was summoned to Parliament from 24 June 1295 to 14 March 1321/2, by writs directed Hugoni le Despenser, whereby he is held to have become Lord Despenser. In 1295 he was going beyond seas on the king's service. The following year he was going beyond seas on an embassy for the king. In 1297 he was granted 20 oaks fit for timber by the king. The same year he took part in the expedition to Flanders. In 1297 he demised the manor of Arnesby, Leicestershire to two tenants for a term of seven years. In 1298 Maud le Barber of Garscherch testified in London court that Saer le Barber said that Sir Hugh le Despenser "kept more robbers with him than any man in England." In 1299 he was granted the manors of Chelworth and Somerford, Wiltshire, together with the bailiwick of the Forest of Braydon, by his kinsman, Robert de Kaynes (or Kaignes). He was present at the Siege of Caerlaverock in 1300. In 1300 he was going to the court of Rome on the king's special affairs. In 1301 Ralph Pipard granted him the manor of Great Haseley, Oxfordshire. In 1302 Robert de Kaynes, Knt. conveyed to him the manors of Tarrant Keyneston, Dorset and two parts of the manor of Newentone, Wales, together with the reversion of the manors of Dodford, Northamptonshire, Oxhill, Warwickshire, Coombe Keynes, Wiltshire, and a third part of Newentone, Wales. He took part in the negotiations with France which preceded the peace of 1303. In 1305 he was sent as Joint Ambassador to Pope Clement V at Lyons, where he obtained a bull absolving the king from the oaths which he had taken to his people. In Feb. 1306 Hugh received a papal indult to have a portable altar. His wife, Isabel, died shortly before 30 May 1306. At the Coronation of King Edward II in 1308, he carried part of the royal insignia. In the quarrel about Peter de Gavaston in 1308, Hugh alone sided with the king against the barons. He was regarded as a deserter from the common cause, and the parliament which met at Northampton procured his dismissal from the king's council. His disgrace was not of long duration; he received the castles of Devizes and Marlborough, and became the chief adviser of the king. On the death of Gavaston in 1312, he became the chief man of the court party, and encouraged the king to form plans of revenge against the barons. He was present at the Battle of Bannockburn 24 June 1314, and accompanied the king in his flight to Dunbar, and thence by sea to Berwick. About this time his son, Sir Hugh le Despenser, joined the king's side. He was appointed Ambassador to Pope John XXII in 1319, and Joint Ambassador to the Pope in 1320. In May and June 1321 the barons of the Welsh Marches and their adherents ravaged the lands of the younger Despenser in Wales and those of the elder throughout the country. In August of that year both Despensers were accused in Parliament, chiefly on account of the son's misconduct, of many misdeeds, including appropriating royal power to themselves, counselling the King evilly, and replacing good ministers by bad ones. They were then disinherited and exiled from the realm. The elder Hugh accordingly retired to the Continent. The sentence on the Despensers was pronounced unlawful at a provincial council of the clergy about 1 Jan. 1321/2. In March following, the elder Hugh accompanied the King against the contrariants, and was present at the judgment on Thomas, Earl of Lancaster. The proceedings against the Despensers were annulled and cancelled, and his lands restored 7 May 1322. He was created Earl of Winchester 10 May 1322, and granted £20 yearly from the issues of Hampshire, together with the Castle and manor of Brimpsfield, Gloucestershire, and the manors of Badgeworth and Syde, Gloucestershire, Ashton Giffard, Codford St. Peter, Sherrington, and Stapleford, Wiltshire (formerly belonging to John Giffard), as well as other lands formerly belonging to Thomas Mauduit, Henry le Tyeys, Warin de Lisle, and John de Kyngeston. The queen hated the Despensers, and when some difficulty arose in France, she gladly left the kingdom on an embassy to her brother, King Charles IV of France. When the queen landed in England with an armed force in Sept. 1326, she put out a proclamation against the Despensers. On the king's flight to Wales in October 1326, Earl Hugh was dispatched to defend Bristol, which, however, he at once surrendered on the arrival of the Queen. The next day, 27 October 1326, SIR HUGH LE DESPENSER, Earl of Winchester, was tried - without being allowed to speak in his own defence - condemned to death as a traitor, and hanged on the common gallows, all his honours forfeited.

The queen hated the Despensers, and when some difficulty arose in France, she gladly left the kingdom on an embassy to her brother, King Charles IV of France. When the queen landed in England with an armed force in Sept. 1326, she put out a proclamation against the Despensers. On the king's flight to Wales in October 1326, Earl Hugh was dispatched to defend Bristol, which, however, he at once surrendered on the arrival of the Queen. The next day, 27 October 1326, SIR HUGH LE DESPENSER, Earl of Winchester, was tried - without being allowed to speak in his own defence - condemned to death as a traitor, and hanged on the common gallows, all his honours forfeited. His head was sent to Winchester. Bridges Hist. & Antiqs. of Northamptonshire 1 (1791): 325. Nichols Hist. & Antiqs. of Leicester 3(1) (1800): 136-137.

| 5571 | RESEARCH_NOTES: 1. “Royal Ancestry: A Study in Colonial & Medieval Families,” Douglas Richardson (2013): "ISABEL DE BEAUCHAMP, married (1st) PATRICK DE CHAWORTH, Knt. [see CHAWORTH 7], of Kidwelly, Carmarthenshire, Wales, East Garston and North Standen (in Hungerford), Berkshire, Kempsford, Gloucestershire, King's Somborne, Hampshire, Stoke Bruerne, Northamptonshire, Berwick St. James and Standon Chaworth, Wiltshire, etc., younger son of Patrick de Chaworth, Knt., of Kempsford, Gloucestershire, North Standen (in Hungerford), Berkshire, King's Sombome, Hampshire, Stoke Brueme, Northamptonshire, etc., by Hawise, daughter and heiress of Thomas de London, of Kidwelly, Carmarthenshire, Ogmore, Glamorgan, East Garston, Berkshire, and Hannington, Wiltshire [see CHAWORTH 6 for his ancestry]. He was born about 1254 (aged 24 in 1278). Isabel had the manor of Chedworth, Gloucestershire in free marriage. They had one daughter, Maud. In 1275-6 he arraigned an assize of novel disseisin against Nicholas Attewode and others touching a tenement in Weston Chaurz, Hampshire. In 1276 he witnessed a deed of his older brother, Pain de Chaworth, to Aaron son of Vives, a Jew. He was Captain of the king's munition in Wales in 1277. Sometime during the period, c.1278-82, Patrick witnessed a charter of Guy de Bryan to the burgesses of Laugharne, Carmarthenshire, Wales. He was heir in 1279 to his older brother, Pain de Chaworth, Knt. In 1279-80 Walter atte Berewe arraigned an assize of novel disseisin against Patrick de Chaworth and others touching a tenement in Etloe, Gloucestershire. In 1280-1 the king granted murage to the bailiffs and men of Kidwelly, Carmarthenshire for a term of five years at the instance of Patrick de Chaworth their lord. Patrick fought in Wales in 1282. On 6 June 1283, he confirmed the gift of his brother, Pain de Chaworth, to Godstow Abbey, which provided for the anniversaries of the obits of their mother, Hawise, and grandmother, Eve. SIR PATRICK DE CHAWORTH died testate shortly before 7 July 1283. His widow, Isabel, married (2nd) between 10 Sept. 1285 (record of Highworth Hundred Rolls) and 27 Jan. 1287 (date of fine for marrying without license) HUGH LE DESPENSER, Knt., of Loughborough, Arnesby, Barrow, Beaumanor, and Hugglescote (in Ibstock), Leicestershire, Ryhall, Rutlandshire, Wycombe, Buckinghamshire, Maplederwell, Hampshire, Woking, Surrey, Broad Town (then in Cliff-Pippard), Eastern (in Wootton Basset), Wootton Basset, Wiltshire, Barrowby, Hillam, Parlington, and Shippen [Ho], Yorkshire, etc., Justice of the Forest south of Trent, 1297-1307, 1308-11, 1312-15, 1324-6, Privy Councillor, 1297, Warden of the Coasts south of Trent, 1303, Constable of Devizes, Marlborough, Odiham, St. Briavel's, and Striguil Castles, son and heir of Hugh le Despenser, Knt., of Loughborough, Leicestershire, Justiciar of England, by Aline (or Aveline), daughter and heiress of Philip Basset, Knt., Justiciar of England. He was born 1 March 1260/1 (aged 14 in 1275). They had two sons, Hugh, Knt. [2nd Lord Despenser], and Philip, Knt., and four daughters, Aline (wife of Edward Burnell, Knt., Lord Burnell), Isabel, Margaret, and Elizabeth. He was heir in 1275 to his cousin, John le Despenser, by which he inherited the manor of Arnesby, Leicestershire. A letter of William de Valence to John de Kirkby indicates that the Queen exacted 1,000 marks from Hugh because of his marriage. In Jan. 1285 the king took the manor of Bollington, Cheshire because Hugh took emends of ale without warrant. In 1286 and again in 1287, he appointed attorneys, he then going beyond seas. He released all right to his lands and tenements in Soham, Cambridgeshire and Bollington in Macclesfield, Cheshire to the king in 1286-7. He was with the king in Gascony in 1287. In 1289 he was going beyond seas with Roger le Bigod, Earl of Norfolk. He presented to the churches of Cossington, Leicestershire, 1289, Stoke Brueme, Northamptonshire, 1292, 1304, and Winterbourne Houghton, Dorset, 1316, 1317. In 1292 he was granted a weekly market and year fair at Arnesby, Leicestershire. In 1293 he had license to enclosed 30 acres of wood adjoining his park at Fastern (in Wootton Basset), Wiltshire. In 1293-4 he claimed to have view of frankpledge in his manor of Barrowby, Hillam, Parlington, and Shippen [Ho], Yorkshire, and that he and his men were free from suits of counties, hundreds/wapentakes/ridings, and from sheriff's aid and murdrum and view of frankpledge. He was appointed an envoy to treat with the King of the Romans in 1294. He was summoned to Parliament from 24 June 1295 to 14 March 1321/2, by writs directed Hugoni le Despenser, whereby he is held to have become Lord Despenser. In 1295 he was going beyond seas on the king's service. The following year he was going beyond seas on an embassy for the king. In 1297 he was granted 20 oaks fit for timber by the king. The same year he took part in the expedition to Flanders. In 1297 he demised the manor of Arnesby, Leicestershire to two tenants for a term of seven years. In 1298 Maud le Barber of Garscherch testified in London court that Saer le Barber said that Sir Hugh le Despenser "kept more robbers with him than any man in England." In 1299 he was granted the manors of Chelworth and Somerford, Wiltshire, together with the bailiwick of the Forest of Braydon, by his kinsman, Robert de Kaynes (or Kaignes). He was present at the Siege of Caerlaverock in 1300. In 1300 he was going to the court of Rome on the king's special affairs. In 1301 Ralph Pipard granted him the manor of Great Haseley, Oxfordshire. In 1302 Robert de Kaynes, Knt. conveyed to him the manors of Tarrant Keyneston, Dorset and two parts of the manor of Newentone, Wales, together with the reversion of the manors of Dodford, Northamptonshire, Oxhill, Warwickshire, Coombe Keynes, Wiltshire, and a third part of Newentone, Wales. He took part in the negotiations with France which preceded the peace of 1303. In 1305 he was sent as Joint Ambassador to Pope Clement V at Lyons, where he obtained a bull absolving the king from the oaths which he had taken to his people. In Feb. 1306 Hugh received a papal indult to have a portable altar. His wife, Isabel, died shortly before 30 May 1306. At the Coronation of King Edward II in 1308, he carried part of the royal insignia. In the quarrel about Peter de Gavaston in 1308, Hugh alone sided with the king against the barons. He was regarded as a deserter from the common cause, and the parliament which met at Northampton procured his dismissal from the king's council. His disgrace was not of long duration; he received the castles of Devizes and Marlborough, and became the chief adviser of the king. On the death of Gavaston in 1312, he became the chief man of the court party, and encouraged the king to form plans of revenge against the barons. He was present at the Battle of Bannockburn 24 June 1314, and accompanied the king in his flight to Dunbar, and thence by sea to Berwick. About this time his son, Sir Hugh le Despenser, joined the king's side. He was appointed Ambassador to Pope John XXII in 1319, and Joint Ambassador to the Pope in 1320. In May and June 1321 the barons of the Welsh Marches and their adherents ravaged the lands of the younger Despenser in Wales and those of the elder throughout the country. In August of that year both Despensers were accused in Parliament, chiefly on account of the son's misconduct, of many misdeeds, including appropriating royal power to themselves, counselling the King evilly, and replacing good ministers by bad ones. They were then disinherited and exiled from the realm. The elder Hugh accordingly retired to the Continent. The sentence on the Despensers was pronounced unlawful at a provincial council of the clergy about 1 Jan. 1321/2. In March following, the elder Hugh accompanied the King against the contrariants, and was present at the judgment on Thomas, Earl of Lancaster. The proceedings against the Despensers were annulled and cancelled, and his lands restored 7 May 1322. He was created Earl of Winchester 10 May 1322, and granted £20 yearly from the issues of Hampshire, together with the Castle and manor of Brimpsfield, Gloucestershire, and the manors of Badgeworth and Syde, Gloucestershire, Ashton Giffard, Codford St. Peter, Sherrington, and Stapleford, Wiltshire (formerly belonging to John Giffard), as well as other lands formerly belonging to Thomas Mauduit, Henry le Tyeys, Warin de Lisle, and John de Kyngeston. The queen hated the Despensers, and when some difficulty arose in France, she gladly left the kingdom on an embassy to her brother, King Charles IV of France. When the queen landed in England with an armed force in Sept. 1326, she put out a proclamation against the Despensers.

ELIZABETH LE DESPENSER, married RALPH DE CAMOYS, Knt., 1st Lord Camoys [see CAMOYS 6].” 2. “Royal Ancestry: A Study in Colonial & Medieval Families,” Douglas Richardson (2013): “GILBERT DE CLARE, Knt., 7th Earl of Gloucester, 6th Earl of Hertford, Steward of St. Edmund's Abbey, son and heir, born at Christchurch, Hampshire 2 Sept. 1243. He married (1st) in the spring of 1253 ALICE (or ALIX) DE LUSIGNAN (or DE LA MARCHE), daughter of Hugues [XI] le Brun (or de Lusignan), Count of La Marche and Angouleme, seigneur of Lusignan in Poitou (uterine brother of Henry III, King of England), by Yolande, daughter of Pierre de Braille sled Mauclerc, Knt., Duke of Brittany, Earl of Richmond [see LUSIGNAN 6 for her ancestry]. They had two daughters, Isabel and Joan. Earl Gilbert played an important role in the constitutional crisis and the Barons' War, 1258-67. Initially he supported the Baronial cause. He and Simon de Montfort, Earl of Leicester captured Rochester, Kent 18 April 1264, but shortly afterwards Tonbridge and Rochester fell to the royalists, who soon gained control over southeast England. On 6 May the royalist forces were camped at Lewes, Sussex. Attempts at arbitration failed, and on 14 May the Battle of Lewes was fought. Earl Gilbert commanded the 2nd line at the battle, where the king and his brother, Richard, Earl of Cornwall, were captured. Prince Edward and his cousin, Henry of Almain, became hostages, being initially sent to Dover Castle. The king and Richard of Cornwall were taken to London with Montfort. Montfort made every effort to secure peace, as unrest within the realm continued. Earl Gilbert, then the most powerful lord in the kingdom, was annoyed because Bristol had passed into Montfort’s hands. Furthermore, the earl was jealous of Montfort’s monopoly of power. Consequently early in 1265 Earl Gilbert withdrew to the Welsh Marsh, the home of Montfort’s intractable enemies. In Feb. 1265 Montfort banned a tournament at Dunstable for fear of conflict between his men and the followers of Earl Gilbert. All efforts to arrange ameeting between Montfort and Earl Gilbert failed. On 28 May 1265 Prince Edward escaped from captivity to join Mortimer and Earl Gilbert at Wigmore. The following month, Prince Edward and Earl Gilbert were denounced as rebels by Montfort. Earl Gilbert shared Prince Edward's victory at Kenilworth 31 July-August 1265, and, at the Battle of Evesham, 4 August 1765 he commanded the 2nd division and contributed largely to the victory. At the end of 1266, Earl Gilbert quarreled with Mortimer, who favored a more violent policy of repression. Sometime before 1267, Earl Gilbert conveyed the manor of Sunworth (in Buriton), Hampshire to Roger de Loveday, to hold to him and his heirs by the annual payment of a pair of gilt spurs at Easter. Earl Gilbert and his wife, Alice, were legally separated at Norwich, Norfolk 18 July 1271. In 1271 he had license to enditch his new castle of Caerphilly in Wales. At the death of King Henry III 16 Nov. 1272, Earl Gilbert took the lead in swearing fealty to King Edward I, who was then in Sicily returning from the Crusade. He was Joint Guardian of England during the king's absence. In 1274-5 William de Valence and Joan his wife arraigned an assize of novel disseisin against Gilbert [de Clare], Earl of Gloucester, and Robert de Boyton touching a tenement in Woolstone, Buckinghamshire. In 1275 Gilbert went to France to negotiate for peace. He was summoned to serve against the Welsh in 1277 and 1282. In 1278 he was among those selected to escort King Alexander III of Scotland to the king. He failed to recover his ancestors' lands in Normandy in the Paris Parlement in 1279. In May 1283 he was contracted to marry the king's daughter, Joan, provided he be formally divorced from his wife, Alice, and be free to marry where he will, and also that he obtain a dispensation from the Pope to marry to Joan, a 1st cousin once removed of Alice. In 1285 Gilbert was absolved from the contract of marriage between him and his former wife, Alice. He granted Alice various properties for her support, including the park and manor of Thaxted, Essex, and the manors of Warham, Wells, and Wiveton, Norfolk, Burford, Oxfordshire,and Speenhamland, Berkshire; she subsequently married Gilbert de Lindsey.* In 1286 and 1287 he was beyond seas with the king, and, in June 1287, he was again in Wales on the king's service. In 1287 he sued Cecily de Vivonne, widow of John de Beauchamp, and others regarding the wardship of Thomas de Hawy. He married (2nd) at Westminster Abbey 23 April 1290 (by dispensation dated 16 Nov. 1289, they being related in the 2nd & 3rd degrees of affinity) JOAN OF ENGLAND [sometimes styled JOAN OF ACRE], daughter of Edward I, King of England, by his 1st wife, Eleanor, daughter of [Saint] Fernando III, King of Castile, Leon, Galicia, Toledo, Cordoba, Jaen, and Seville [see ENGLAND 7 for her ancestry]. She was born at Acre in Palestine in Spring 1272. They had one son, Gilbert, Knt. [Earl of Gloucester and Hertford], and three daughters, Eleanor, Margaret, and Elizabeth. In 1291 his quarrels with the Earl of Hereford about Brecknock culminated in a private war between them. Both earls were imprisoned by the king, Earl Gilbert being fined 10,000 marks as the aggressor. In 1291 his wife, Joan, received a papal indult to enter Cistercian monasteries accompanied by eight honest matrons. In 1293 he was appointed Captain of the forces in Ireland, and resided there until some time in 1294. He presented to the churches of Marlow, Buckinghamshire, 1295, and Thurning, Northamptonshire, 1295. SIR GILBERT DE CLARE, Earl of Gloucester and Hertford, died at Monmouth Castle 7 Dec. 1295, and was buried at Tewkesbury Abbey, Gloucestershire. His widow, Joan, married (2nd) early in 1297 RALPH DE MONTHERMER, Knt., Privy Councillor, Keeper of Caerlyon, Cardiff, Caerfilly, Lantrissan, Newburgh, and Usk Castles, 1307, Steward of the lands of Earl of Buchan, 1308, Guardian and Lieutenant in Scotland, 1311, Steward of the lands of John ap Adam, 1311, Justice of the Forest south of Trent, 1315-20. Ralph was a native of Wales. Ralph was a native of Wales, and was near related to John Bluet, Knt., who served as his bachelor in Scotland in 1303. Ralph and Joan had two sons, Thomas, Knt. [2nd Lord Monthermer], and Edward, Knt. [Lord Monthermer], and one daughter, Mary (wife of Duncan of Fife, Knt., 10th Earl of Fife [see CLARE 8.ii.a below]). Their marriage enraged her father, the king, and he committed Ralph to prison in Bristol Castle 10-22 July 1297, and all of Joan's lands were seised into the king's hand. By the mediation of Anthony Bek, Bishop of Durham, peace was made between the king and his daughter, and her lands were restored to her 31 July 1297, save Tonbridge and the Isle of Portland. The king afterwards became much attached to his new son-in-law, who was summoned to Parliament as Earl of Gloucester and Hertford during the minority of his step-son, Gilbert de Clare. By Sept. 1297 Ralph and his wife were allowed to stay in the outer bailey of Windsor Castle, which the king had lent them. In 1297 he was summoned to serve with the king's overseas expedition. In 1298 he was appointed Captain of the 4th Division of the king's army in Scotland. He was summoned to serve against the Scots in 1299, 1300, and frequently thereafter. He fought at the Battle of Falkirk 22 July 1298, and was present at the Siege of Caerlaverock Castle in 1300. He presented to the churches of Pimperne, Dorset, 1299, and Naseby, Northamptonshire, 1305. He signed the Barons' letter to Pope Boniface VIII in 1301 as Rad'us de Monte H'meri Com' Glouc' & Herf’. In 1303 he and his wife, Joan, arraigned an assize of novel disseisin against Gilbert son of Thomas de Clare concerning a tenement in Plashes (in Standon), Hertfordshire. He was briefly Earl of Atholl in Scotland, 1306-7, he being defeated by King Robert de Brus in 1307. JOAN OF ENGLAND died 7 April 1307, and was buried in the Austin Friars at Clare, Suffolk. In August 1307 he surrendered to King Edward II custody of the lands of his step-son, Gilbert de Clare, a minor, and had a grant of 5,000 marks in lieu thereof. In 1308 John de Huntley, of cos. Somerset and Gloucester, owed him a debt of £15. The same year he had license to hunt in the king's forests or chases when passing through them. He was granted a charter for a weekly market and two yearly fairs at his manor of Llanfair Discoed, Monmouthshire in Nov. 1308. He was summoned to Parliament from 4 March 1308/9 to 13 Sept. 1324, by writs directed Rldulpho de Monte Hermerii, whereby he is held to have become Lord Monthermer. In 1309 he was granted the barony of Erlestoke, Wiltshire, including the manors of Stokenharn, Oakford, Pyworthy, and Sterte, Devon and Hunton, Hampshire. A similar grant of Warblington, Hampshire was made to him in Dec. 1310. He was going beyond seas in the king's service in May 1313. In 1313 Henry Fitz Alan brought a writ of replevin against him and complained that he had wrongfully seised his beasts, namely two bullocks, one calf, and two mares in Dodbrooke Burgh, Devon, whereby Henry claimed he suffered damages to the amount of £20. Ralph fought at the Battle of Bannockburn 24 June 1314, where he was taken prisoner. In 1315 he had permission to go on pilgrimage to Santiago of Compostella in Spain. The same year he presented to the church of Stokenham, Devon. He likewise presented to the church of Shorncote, Wiltshire in 1316 and 1317, by reason of the land and heir of John ap Adam being in his hand. He married (2nd) before 20 Nov. 1318 (without the king's permission) ISABELLE DESPENSER, widow successively of Gilbert de Clare, Knt. (died shortly before 16 Nov. 1307) [see BADLESMERE 8.i] and John de Hastings, Knt., 1st Lord Hastings (died 10 Feb. 1312/3) [see HASTINGS 10], and daughter of Hugh le Despenser, Knt., Earl of Winchester, 1st Lord Despenser, by Isabel, daughter of William de Beauchamp, Knt., 9th Earl of Warwick [see DESPENSER 10 for her ancestry]. In Dec. 1318 perambulation was made by the mayor, sheriffs, and aldermen of London of the land of the Dean and Chapter of St. Paul's in the parish of St. Dunstan [?in the East}, London on complaint of Thomas de Neusom, clerk of Sir Ralph de Monthermer, who stated that because the tenement of the Dean and Chapter adjoining that of Ralph was not built up along the street, vagabonds crossing the tenement by night broke down Ralph's party-walls and entered and done damage there. Ralph and his wife, Isabel, were pardoned by the king 12 August 1319 for marrying without the king's permission. In 1324 he was summoned for military service in Gascon in person. After the reduction of the Queen's household in1324, the king's daughers, Eleanor and Joan, were put in charge of Ralph and his wife in the king's castle of Marlborough. SIR RALPH DE MONTHERMER, 1st Lord Monthermer, died 10 May (or 5 April) 1325, and was buried at Grey Friars, Salisbury, Wiltshire. He left a will enrolled 15 July 1325. On 19 Feb. 1325/6 his widow, Isabel, was appointed custodian of the corpus of Marlborough Castle and of the houses within the walls for the safe dwelling of herself and of the king's daughters living with her. Isabel died testate 4 (or 5) Dec. 1334, and was buried at Grey Friars, Salisbury, Wiltshire. [Footnote 9. For evidence of Alice's 2nd marriage, see Cal. IP.M 3 (1912): 234-251; Genealogist n.s. 38 (1922): 169-172.

In 1292 his widow, Countess Joan, paid a fine of 1,000 marks of silver to King Edward I to have her marriage and for leave to marry whomever she pleased. In 1299, while on her way between Stirling Castle and Edinburgh, she was abducted by Herbert de Morham, Knt., of Scotland, who imprisoned her in the house of Thomas his brother in an aborted attempt to get her to marry him. In April 1299 she complained to King Edward I that Morham had also taken her jewels, horses, robes, and other goods to the value of £2,000, an "committed other enormities to the scandal of the countess and the king's contempt."

The same year her estate in Hampshire also escheated to the Crown. In 1322 the king granted Hugh le Despenser the younger the manor of Carlton le Moorland, Lincolnshire, "late of Gervase Avenel and Joan his wife, who adhered to the Scots, and whose lands therefore escheated to the king." … [Source not transcribed.] Children of Gilbert de Clare, Knt., by Joan of England: i.

His widow, Margaret, received a papal indult for plenary remission in 1346. She died 15, 22, or 26 May 1349. … [Source not transcribed.] (Footnote: Contemporary records indicate that Margaret de Brewes, wife of Thomas de Monthermer, was earlier the wife of Henry le Tyeys, whom she married in or before 1316 [see Pugh Abs. of Feet of Fines Rel.

In 1320 Henry le Tyeys and his wife, Margaret, were granted lands in Bockhampton (in Lamboum), Berkshire, for life; Bockhampton was held after Henry's death by Margaret de Monthermer [see VCH Berkshire 4 (1924): 258; Feudal Aids 1(1899): 621. Thomas and Margaret de Monthermer also possessed part of the manor of Lydiard Tregoze, Wiltshire, which was previously held by Henry le Tyeys [see VCH Wiltshire 9 (1970): 83]. Cal. Inas. Misc. 2 (1916): 457 shows that Margaret de Monthermer held this property in dower, evidently in right of her first marriage. Elsewhere, the IPM of Alice, sister of Henry le Tyeys, taken in 1350 indicates that Margeret "who was the wife of Henry Tieys" previously held a one-third share in the manor of Bracken, Yorkshire in dower, and that the said Margaret died 20 May 1349. This is virtually the same death date given for Thomas de Montherrner's wife Margaret recorded in her own TPM taken in the previous year [see Cal.

He served as a surety for his step-mother, Isabel, in 1325, for repayment of a loan of £200. He was knighted in 1327. In 1330 he was suspected of being implicated in the so-called plot of Edmund of Woodstock, Earl of Kent. His lands were confiscated and he was confined to Winchester Castle for "certain seclitions." The king ordered that his lands be restored 3 Dec. 1330. In 1334 and 1335 he was summoned for military service against the Scots. He was summoned to Parliament 00 23 April and 21 June 1337, by writs directed Edward° de Monte Hermerii, whereby he is held to have become Lord Monthermer. In 1337 he mortgaged the manor of Hunton (in Crawley), Hampshire to Peter de la Mare. He took part in Edward Ill's expedition to Antwerp in 1338. SIR EDWARD DE MONTHERMER, Lord Monthermer, was mortally wounded at Vironfosse 23 October 1339.

[see CHAWORTH 7], of Kidwelly, Carmarthenshire, Wales, East Garston and North Standen (in Hungerford), Berkshire, Kempsford, Gloucestershire, King's Somborne, Hampshire, Stoke Bruerne, Northamptonshire, Berwick St. James and Standon Chaworth, Wiltshire, etc., younger son of Patrick de Chaworth, Knt., of Kempsford, Gloucestershire, North Standen (in Hungerford), Berkshire, King's Sombome, Hampshire, Stoke Brueme, Northamptonshire, etc., by Hawise, daughter and heiress of Thomas de London, of Kidwelly, Carmarthenshire, Ogmore, Glamorgan, East Garston, Berkshire, and Hannington, Wiltshire [see CHAWORTH 6 for his ancestry]. He was born about 1254 (aged 24 in 1278). Isabel had the manor of Chedworth, Gloucestershire in free marriage. They had one daughter, Maud. In 1275-6 he arraigned an assize of novel disseisin against Nicholas Attewode and others touching a tenement in Weston Chaurz, Hampshire. In 1276 he witnessed a deed of his older brother, Pain de Chaworth, to Aaron son of Vives, a Jew. He was Captain of the king's munition in Wales in 1277. Sometime during the period, c.1278-82, Patrick witnessed a charter of Guy de Bryan to the burgesses of Laugharne, Carmarthenshire, Wales. He was heir in 1279 to his older brother, Pain de Chaworth, Knt. In 1279-80 Walter atte Berewe arraigned an assize of novel disseisin against Patrick de Chaworth and others touching a tenement in Etloe, Gloucestershire. In 1280-1 the king granted murage to the bailiffs and men of Kidwelly, Carmarthenshire for a term of five years at the instance of Patrick de Chaworth their lord. Patrick fought in Wales in 1282. On 6 June 1283, he confirmed the gift of his brother, Pain de Chaworth, to Godstow Abbey, which provided for the anniversaries of the obits of their mother, Hawise, and grandmother, Eve. SIR PATRICK DE CHAWORTH died testate shortly before 7 July 1283. His widow, Isabel, married (2nd) between 10 Sept. 1285 (record of Highworth Hundred Rolls) and 27 Jan. 1287 (date of fine for marrying without license) HUGH LE DESPENSER, Knt., of Loughborough, Arnesby, Barrow, Beaumanor, and Hugglescote (in Ibstock), Leicestershire, Ryhall, Rutlandshire, Wycombe, Buckinghamshire, Maplederwell, Hampshire, Woking, Surrey, Broad Town (then in Cliff-Pippard), Eastern (in Wootton Basset), Wootton Basset, Wiltshire, Barrowby, Hillam, Parlington, and Shippen [Ho], Yorkshire, etc., Justice of the Forest south of Trent, 1297-1307, 1308-11, 1312-15, 1324-6, Privy Councillor, 1297, Warden of the Coasts south of Trent, 1303, Constable of Devizes, Marlborough, Odiham, St. Briavel's, and Striguil Castles, son and heir of Hugh le Despenser, Knt., of Loughborough, Leicestershire, Justiciar of England, by Aline (or Aveline), daughter and heiress of Philip Basset, Knt., Justiciar of England. He was born 1 March 1260/1 (aged 14 in 1275). They had two sons, Hugh, Knt. [2nd Lord Despenser], and Philip, Knt., and four daughters, Aline (wife of Edward Burnell, Knt., Lord Burnell), Isabel, Margaret, and Elizabeth. He was heir in 1275 to his cousin, John le Despenser, by which he inherited the manor of Arnesby, Leicestershire. A letter of William de Valence to John de Kirkby indicates that the Queen exacted 1,000 marks from Hugh because of his marriage. In Jan. 1285 the king took the manor of Bollington, Cheshire because Hugh took emends of ale without warrant. In 1286 and again in 1287, he appointed attorneys, he then going beyond seas. He released all right to his lands and tenements in Soham, Cambridgeshire and Bollington in Macclesfield, Cheshire to the king in 1286-7. He was with the king in Gascony in 1287. In 1289 he was going beyond seas with Roger le Bigod, Earl of Norfolk. He presented to the churches of Cossington, Leicestershire, 1289, Stoke Brueme, Northamptonshire, 1292, 1304, and Winterbourne Houghton, Dorset, 1316, 1317. In 1292 he was granted a weekly market and year fair at Arnesby, Leicestershire. In 1293 he had license to enclosed 30 acres of wood adjoining his park at Fastern (in Wootton Basset), Wiltshire. In 1293-4 he claimed to have view of frankpledge in his manor of Barrowby, Hillam, Parlington, and Shippen [Ho], Yorkshire, and that he and his men were free from suits of counties, hundreds/wapentakes/ridings, and from sheriff's aid and murdrum and view of frankpledge. He was appointed an envoy to treat with the King of the Romans in 1294. He was summoned to Parliament from 24 June 1295 to 14 March 1321/2, by writs directed Hugoni le Despenser, whereby he is held to have become Lord Despenser. In 1295 he was going beyond seas on the king's service. The following year he was going beyond seas on an embassy for the king. In 1297 he was granted 20 oaks fit for timber by the king. The same year he took part in the expedition to Flanders. In 1297 he demised the manor of Arnesby, Leicestershire to two tenants for a term of seven years. In 1298 Maud le Barber of Garscherch testified in London court that Saer le Barber said that Sir Hugh le Despenser "kept more robbers with him than any man in England." In 1299 he was granted the manors of Chelworth and Somerford, Wiltshire, together with the bailiwick of the Forest of Braydon, by his kinsman, Robert de Kaynes (or Kaignes). He was present at the Siege of Caerlaverock in 1300. In 1300 he was going to the court of Rome on the king's special affairs. In 1301 Ralph Pipard granted him the manor of Great Haseley, Oxfordshire. In 1302 Robert de Kaynes, Knt. conveyed to him the manors of Tarrant Keyneston, Dorset and two parts of the manor of Newentone, Wales, together with the reversion of the manors of Dodford, Northamptonshire, Oxhill, Warwickshire, Coombe Keynes, Wiltshire, and a third part of Newentone, Wales. He took part in the negotiations with France which preceded the peace of 1303. In 1305 he was sent as Joint Ambassador to Pope Clement V at Lyons, where he obtained a bull absolving the king from the oaths which he had taken to his people. In Feb. 1306 Hugh received a papal indult to have a portable altar. His wife, Isabel, died shortly before 30 May 1306. At the Coronation of King Edward II in 1308, he carried part of the royal insignia. In the quarrel about Peter de Gavaston in 1308, Hugh alone sided with the king against the barons. He was regarded as a deserter from the common cause, and the parliament which met at Northampton procured his dismissal from the king's council. His disgrace was not of long duration; he received the castles of Devizes and Marlborough, and became the chief adviser of the king. On the death of Gavaston in 1312, he became the chief man of the court party, and encouraged the king to form plans of revenge against the barons. He was present at the Battle of Bannockburn 24 June 1314, and accompanied the king in his flight to Dunbar, and thence by sea to Berwick. About this time his son, Sir Hugh le Despenser, joined the king's side. He was appointed Ambassador to Pope John XXII in 1319, and Joint Ambassador to the Pope in 1320. In May and June 1321 the barons of the Welsh Marches and their adherents ravaged the lands of the younger Despenser in Wales and those of the elder throughout the country. In August of that year both Despensers were accused in Parliament, chiefly on account of the son's misconduct, of many misdeeds, including appropriating royal power to themselves, counselling the King evilly, and replacing good ministers by bad ones. They were then disinherited and exiled from the realm. The elder Hugh accordingly retired to the Continent. The sentence on the Despensers was pronounced unlawful at a provincial council of the clergy about 1 Jan. 1321/2. In March following, the elder Hugh accompanied the King against the contrariants, and was present at the judgment on Thomas, Earl of Lancaster. The proceedings against the Despensers were annulled and cancelled, and his lands restored 7 May 1322. He was created Earl of Winchester 10 May 1322, and granted £20 yearly from the issues of Hampshire, together with the Castle and manor of Brimpsfield, Gloucestershire, and the manors of Badgeworth and Syde, Gloucestershire, Ashton Giffard, Codford St. Peter, Sherrington, and Stapleford, Wiltshire (formerly belonging to John Giffard), as well as other lands formerly belonging to Thomas Mauduit, Henry le Tyeys, Warin de Lisle, and John de Kyngeston. The queen hated the Despensers, and when some difficulty arose in France, she gladly left the kingdom on an embassy to her brother, King Charles IV of France. When the queen landed in England with an armed force in Sept. 1326, she put out a proclamation against the Despensers. On the king's flight to Wales in October 1326, Earl Hugh was dispatched to defend Bristol, which, however, he at once surrendered on the arrival of the Queen. The next day, 27 October 1326, SIR HUGH LE DESPENSER, Earl of Winchester, was tried - without being allowed to speak in his own defence - condemned to death as a traitor, and hanged on the common gallows, all his honours forfeited.

MAUD DE CHAWORTH, married HENRY OF LANCASTER, Knt., Earl of Lancaster and Leicester, Lord of Monmouth [see LANCASTER 8].” 4. “Royal Ancestry: A Study in Colonial & Medieval Families,” Douglas Richardson (2013): “HENRY OF LANCASTER, Knt., 2nd son, lord of Monmouth and Threecastles, Steward of England, Constable of Abergavenny and Kenilworth Castles, 1326, Chief Guardian of the King, 1327, Captain-General in the Marches towards Scotland, 1327, Councillor of Regency, 1345, and, in right of his wife, of East Garston and North Standen (in Hungerford), Berkshire, Lillingstone Dansey, Buckinghamshire, Etloe Duchy (in Awre) and Kempsford, Gloucestershire, King's Somborne, Hampshire, Stoke Bruerne, Northamptonshire, and Kidwelly, Carmarthenshire, Ogmore, Glamorgan, Wales, etc., born at Grosmont Castle, Monmouthshire about 1281. He married after 30 Dec. 1291 (grant of her marriage) and before 2 March 1296/7 MAUD DE CHAWORTH, daughter and heiress of Patrick de Chaworth, Knt., of Kidwelly, Carmarthenshire, Wales, East Garston and North Standen (in Hungerford), Berkshire, Kempsford, Gloucestershire, King's Somborne, Hampshire, Stoke Bruerne, Northamptonshire, Berwick St. James and Standon Chaworth, Wiltshire, etc., by Isabel, daughter of William de Beauchamp, Knt., 9th Earl of Warwick [see CHAWORTH 7 for her ancestry]. She was born about 1282 (aged 1 in 1283). They had one son, Henry, KG. [Duke of Lancaster, Earl of Derby, Leicester, and Lincoln], and six daughters, Blanche, Maud, Eleanor, Mary, Joan, and Isabel. In 1297 he had livery of Monmouth and the lands of his father beyond Severn. He served in Flanders in 1297-8 and during the wars with the Scots. He fought at the Battle of Falkirk 22 July 1298. He was summoned to Parliament 6 Feb. 1298/9, by writ directed Henrico de Lancastre nepoti Regis and Henrico de Lancastre, whereby he is held to have become Lord Lancaster. He took part in the Siege of Caerlaverock in 1300. He signed the Barons' letter to Pope Boniface VIII in 1301 as D’n’s de Munemue [Lord of Monmouth]. In 1306 Henry and his wife, Maud, conveyed the manors of Alderton and Stoke Bruerne, Northamptonshire, together with the advowsons of both churches, to William de Combemartin and his heirs. In 1307 he was pardoned for aiding the escape of John le Harper from prison. He and his wife attended the Coronation of King Edward II in 1308, where he bore the sceptre with a dove on the top. In 1310 he was one of those who forced the King to agree to the appointment of the Lords Ordainers. In 1315-16 he joined the marcher lords in suppressing the rebellion of Llywelyn Bren. In 1316 Walter, Bishop of Exeter, was summoned to answer Henry and his wife, Maud, on a plea that he permit them to present a fit parson to the church of Broadhemsbury, Devonshire, which is vacant and belongs to their gift. In 1318 Henry was in France with the king's leave in order to obtain "the heritage" which descended to him on his brother John's death. His wife, Maud, was living 4 August 1320, but died testate before 3 Dec. 1322, and was buried at Mottisfont Priory, Hampshire. In 1320 he joined the confederacy of the Marchers against the Despensers. He was heir in 1322 to his older brother, Thomas of Lancaster, Earl of Lancaster, Leicester, and Derby. In 1323 he petitioned the King and Council for the earldoms of Lancaster and Leicester. He received a writ of livery of the earldom and honour of Leicester 29 March 1324, becoming thereby Earl of Leicester. On the queen's return to England with Roger de Mortimer in Sept. 1326, he joined her party against King Edward II, which led to a general desertion of the king's cause. He was present as Earl of Lancaster and Leicester in 1326 at a meeting at Bristol which appointed Prince Edward keeper of the realm during his father, the king's absence, the king having fled to Wales. Earl Henry afterwards captured the king at Neath and took him to Llantrisant, Glamorgan 16 Nov. 1326. He was appointed to take charge of the king, and was responsible for his custody at Kenilworth until 4 April 1327. He was present at the Coronation of King Edward III 1 Feb. 1326/7. In October 1328 he refused to attend the Parliament. He soon quarreled with Queen Isabel, and, in consequence, in Jan. 1328 the queen's forces spent a week ravaging his lands in the neighborhood of Leicester. He collected an armed force and marched northwards to meet Mortimer but was forced to submit, after which his lands were handed back to him. In 1329 he was going beyond seas to France with a large retinue. In Dec. 1329 he was joined with the Bishop of Norwich in the negotiations with King Philippe VI of France. In 1330 he had license to found a hospital for poor persons and pilgrims in his town of Leicester. Upon the fall of Roger de Mortimer, his close personal relations with the young king were renewed. In 1332 the king granted him 500 marks yearly for the better maintenance of his estate. The same year Earl Henry granted the manors of Wirksworth, Bouteshale, and Iretonwood, Derbyshire to William de Walkington for life. In 1335 he was with the king at Newcastle-on-Tyne, where the invasion of Scotland by King Edward III and Edward de Balliol was planned and carried out. In 1343 he was granted an indult for plenary remission at the hour of death. In July 1345 he was appointed to the Council of Prince Lionel, Keeper of England, during the king's absence. SIR HENRY OF LANCASTER, Earl of Lancaster and Leicester, Lord of Monmouth, died 22 Sept. 1345, and was buried with great state on the north side of the high altar of Newark Abbey, Leicester, Leicestershire.

They had no issue. He presented to the church of Wyck Rissington, Gloucestershire in 1309 and 1312. In 1310 Alice, widow of Walter de Beauchamp, was summoned to answer him of a plea wherefore she made waste and sale of the lands, houses, woods, and gardens which she had in the wardship of the inheritance of the said Edward in Broom Court near Bidford, Warwickshire to his disherison. He served in the Scottish wars, 1311-14. He was summoned to Parliament from 19 Dec. 1311 to 24 October 1314, by writs directed Edwardo Burnell, whereby he is held to have become Lord Burnell.

[see CHAWORTH 7], of Kidwelly, Carmarthenshire, Wales, East Garston and North Standen (in Hungerford), Berkshire, Kempsford, Gloucestershire, King's Somborne, Hampshire, Stoke Bruerne, Northamptonshire, Berwick St. James and Standon Chaworth, Wiltshire, etc., younger son of Patrick de Chaworth, Knt., of Kempsford, Gloucestershire, North Standen (in Hungerford), Berkshire, King's Sombome, Hampshire, Stoke Brueme, Northamptonshire, etc., by Hawise, daughter and heiress of Thomas de London, of Kidwelly, Carmarthenshire, Ogmore, Glamorgan, East Garston, Berkshire, and Hannington, Wiltshire [see CHAWORTH 6 for his ancestry]. He was born about 1254 (aged 24 in 1278). Isabel had the manor of Chedworth, Gloucestershire in free marriage. They had one daughter, Maud. In 1275-6 he arraigned an assize of novel disseisin against Nicholas Attewode and others touching a tenement in Weston Chaurz, Hampshire. In 1276 he witnessed a deed of his older brother, Pain de Chaworth, to Aaron son of Vives, a Jew. He was Captain of the king's munition in Wales in 1277. Sometime during the period, c.1278-82, Patrick witnessed a charter of Guy de Bryan to the burgesses of Laugharne, Carmarthenshire, Wales. He was heir in 1279 to his older brother, Pain de Chaworth, Knt. In 1279-80 Walter atte Berewe arraigned an assize of novel disseisin against Patrick de Chaworth and others touching a tenement in Etloe, Gloucestershire. In 1280-1 the king granted murage to the bailiffs and men of Kidwelly, Carmarthenshire for a term of five years at the instance of Patrick de Chaworth their lord. Patrick fought in Wales in 1282. On 6 June 1283, he confirmed the gift of his brother, Pain de Chaworth, to Godstow Abbey, which provided for the anniversaries of the obits of their mother, Hawise, and grandmother, Eve. SIR PATRICK DE CHAWORTH died testate shortly before 7 July 1283. His widow, Isabel, married (2nd) between 10 Sept. 1285 (record of Highworth Hundred Rolls) and 27 Jan. 1287 (date of fine for marrying without license) HUGH LE DESPENSER, Knt., of Loughborough, Arnesby, Barrow, Beaumanor, and Hugglescote (in Ibstock), Leicestershire, Ryhall, Rutlandshire, Wycombe, Buckinghamshire, Maplederwell, Hampshire, Woking, Surrey, Broad Town (then in Cliff-Pippard), Eastern (in Wootton Basset), Wootton Basset, Wiltshire, Barrowby, Hillam, Parlington, and Shippen [Ho], Yorkshire, etc., Justice of the Forest south of Trent, 1297-1307, 1308-11, 1312-15, 1324-6, Privy Councillor, 1297, Warden of the Coasts south of Trent, 1303, Constable of Devizes, Marlborough, Odiham, St. Briavel's, and Striguil Castles, son and heir of Hugh le Despenser, Knt., of Loughborough, Leicestershire, Justiciar of England, by Aline (or Aveline), daughter and heiress of Philip Basset, Knt., Justiciar of England. He was born 1 March 1260/1 (aged 14 in 1275). They had two sons, Hugh, Knt. [2nd Lord Despenser], and Philip, Knt., and four daughters, Aline (wife of Edward Burnell, Knt., Lord Burnell), Isabel, Margaret, and Elizabeth. He was heir in 1275 to his cousin, John le Despenser, by which he inherited the manor of Arnesby, Leicestershire. A letter of William de Valence to John de Kirkby indicates that the Queen exacted 1,000 marks from Hugh because of his marriage. In Jan. 1285 the king took the manor of Bollington, Cheshire because Hugh took emends of ale without warrant. In 1286 and again in 1287, he appointed attorneys, he then going beyond seas. He released all right to his lands and tenements in Soham, Cambridgeshire and Bollington in Macclesfield, Cheshire to the king in 1286-7. He was with the king in Gascony in 1287. In 1289 he was going beyond seas with Roger le Bigod, Earl of Norfolk. He presented to the churches of Cossington, Leicestershire, 1289, Stoke Brueme, Northamptonshire, 1292, 1304, and Winterbourne Houghton, Dorset, 1316, 1317. In 1292 he was granted a weekly market and year fair at Arnesby, Leicestershire. In 1293 he had license to enclosed 30 acres of wood adjoining his park at Fastern (in Wootton Basset), Wiltshire. In 1293-4 he claimed to have view of frankpledge in his manor of Barrowby, Hillam, Parlington, and Shippen [Ho], Yorkshire, and that he and his men were free from suits of counties, hundreds/wapentakes/ridings, and from sheriff's aid and murdrum and view of frankpledge. He was appointed an envoy to treat with the King of the Romans in 1294. He was summoned to Parliament from 24 June 1295 to 14 March 1321/2, by writs directed Hugoni le Despenser, whereby he is held to have become Lord Despenser. In 1295 he was going beyond seas on the king's service. The following year he was going beyond seas on an embassy for the king. In 1297 he was granted 20 oaks fit for timber by the king. The same year he took part in the expedition to Flanders. In 1297 he demised the manor of Arnesby, Leicestershire to two tenants for a term of seven years. In 1298 Maud le Barber of Garscherch testified in London court that Saer le Barber said that Sir Hugh le Despenser "kept more robbers with him than any man in England." In 1299 he was granted the manors of Chelworth and Somerford, Wiltshire, together with the bailiwick of the Forest of Braydon, by his kinsman, Robert de Kaynes (or Kaignes). He was present at the Siege of Caerlaverock in 1300. In 1300 he was going to the court of Rome on the king's special affairs. In 1301 Ralph Pipard granted him the manor of Great Haseley, Oxfordshire. In 1302 Robert de Kaynes, Knt. conveyed to him the manors of Tarrant Keyneston, Dorset and two parts of the manor of Newentone, Wales, together with the reversion of the manors of Dodford, Northamptonshire, Oxhill, Warwickshire, Coombe Keynes, Wiltshire, and a third part of Newentone, Wales. He took part in the negotiations with France which preceded the peace of 1303. In 1305 he was sent as Joint Ambassador to Pope Clement V at Lyons, where he obtained a bull absolving the king from the oaths which he had taken to his people. In Feb. 1306 Hugh received a papal indult to have a portable altar. His wife, Isabel, died shortly before 30 May 1306. At the Coronation of King Edward II in 1308, he carried part of the royal insignia. In the quarrel about Peter de Gavaston in 1308, Hugh alone sided with the king against the barons. He was regarded as a deserter from the common cause, and the parliament which met at Northampton procured his dismissal from the king's council. His disgrace was not of long duration; he received the castles of Devizes and Marlborough, and became the chief adviser of the king. On the death of Gavaston in 1312, he became the chief man of the court party, and encouraged the king to form plans of revenge against the barons. He was present at the Battle of Bannockburn 24 June 1314, and accompanied the king in his flight to Dunbar, and thence by sea to Berwick. About this time his son, Sir Hugh le Despenser, joined the king's side. He was appointed Ambassador to Pope John XXII in 1319, and Joint Ambassador to the Pope in 1320. In May and June 1321 the barons of the Welsh Marches and their adherents ravaged the lands of the younger Despenser in Wales and those of the elder throughout the country. In August of that year both Despensers were accused in Parliament, chiefly on account of the son's misconduct, of many misdeeds, including appropriating royal power to themselves, counselling the King evilly, and replacing good ministers by bad ones. They were then disinherited and exiled from the realm. The elder Hugh accordingly retired to the Continent. The sentence on the Despensers was pronounced unlawful at a provincial council of the clergy about 1 Jan. 1321/2. In March following, the elder Hugh accompanied the King against the contrariants, and was present at the judgment on Thomas, Earl of Lancaster. The proceedings against the Despensers were annulled and cancelled, and his lands restored 7 May 1322. He was created Earl of Winchester 10 May 1322, and granted £20 yearly from the issues of Hampshire, together with the Castle and manor of Brimpsfield, Gloucestershire, and the manors of Badgeworth and Syde, Gloucestershire, Ashton Giffard, Codford St. Peter, Sherrington, and Stapleford, Wiltshire (formerly belonging to John Giffard), as well as other lands formerly belonging to Thomas Mauduit, Henry le Tyeys, Warin de Lisle, and John de Kyngeston. The queen hated the Despensers, and when some difficulty arose in France, she gladly left the kingdom on an embassy to her brother, King Charles IV of France. When the queen landed in England with an armed force in Sept. 1326, she put out a proclamation against the Despensers. On the king's flight to Wales in October 1326, Earl Hugh was dispatched to defend Bristol, which, however, he at once surrendered on the arrival of the Queen. The next day, 27 October 1326, SIR HUGH LE DESPENSER, Earl of Winchester, was tried - without being allowed to speak in his own defence - condemned to death as a traitor, and hanged on the common gallows, all his honours forfeited.

She married (1st) WILLIAM OF ENGLAND, Count of Boulogne and Mortain, and, in right of his wife, 4th Earl of Surrey, 2nd but eldest surviving son and heir of Stephen, King of England, by Maud, daughter and heiress of Eustace, Count of Boulogne [see BRABANT 3 for his ancestry]. He was born between 1132-7. They had no issue. He became Count of Boulogne and Mortain on the death of his older brother, Eustache, in August 1153. He was knighted by King Henry II at Carlisle in 1158. At an unknown date, he confirmed the previous gift of his father, King Stephen, to the nuns of Ste.-Marie of Mortain. He died on the Toulouse expedition in October 1159, and was buried in the hospital of Montmorillon in Poitou. His widow, Isabel, married (2nd) in 1164 (probably in April) HAMELIN, vicomte of Touraine, and, in right of his wife, 5th Earl of Surrey, Advocate of St. Berlin, illegitimate son of Geoffrey, Count of Anjou, Duke of Normandy [see ENGLAND 3]. He was half-brother to Henry II, King of England. They had one son, William [6th Earl of Surrey], and three daughters, Maud, Ela, and Isabel. He was present at the Council of Northampton in 1164, and joined in the denunciation of Archbishop Thomas as a traitor. In 1173 he supported King Henry II against his sons. In 1176 he was one of the nobles who escorted Joan, daughter of King Henry II, for her marriage to the King of Sicily. In the period, 1178-1202, Robert de Pormort sold to Hamelin, Earl of Surrey all the fee which the said Robert,held of the earl, in Louveautuit in Normandy for 65 marks and 25 l. of Anjou. He was present at the first coronation of King Richard I in 1189. In the king's absence, he supported the chancellor against the intrigues of the king's brother, John [later King John]. In 1193 he was one of the treasurers for the ransom of King Richard I. At King Richard I's second coronation in 1194, he bore one of the three swords. He was present at the Coronation of King John in 1199. In 1200 he was granted a weekly market at Conisborourgh, Yorkshire. In 1201 strife arose between Hugh, Abbot of Cluny and Hamelin, Earl Warenne concerning the appointment and institution of the Prior of Lewes; the matter was settled by the mediation of Hubert, Archbishop of Canterbury, Eustace, Bishop of Ely, and Geoffrey Fitz Peter, Justiciar of England. In 1202 he granted the advowson of the church of Leigh, Surrey to the Priory of St. Mary Overy, Southwark. HAMELIN, 5th Earl of Surrey (or Warenne), died 7 May 1202. In 1202-3 his widow, Isabel, granted a virgate of land to Richard son of Robert, of Combe. She was living April 1203, but probably died soon afterwards, possibly 12 July 1203.

ELA DE WARENNE, married (1st) ROBERT DE NEWBURGH [see FITZWILLIAM 8]; (2nd) WILLIAM FITZ WILLIAM, of Sprotborough, Yorkshire [see FITZ WILLIAM 8]. iv. ISABEL DE WARENNE. She married (1st) ROBERT DE LACY (or LACI, LASCI), of Pontefract, Yorkshire, son and heir of Henry de Lacy. They had no issue. He attended the Coronation of Richard I in 1189. He confirmed his father's gift in Snydale (in Normanton), Yorkshire to Kirkstall Abbey, Yorkshire, and added three carucates of land in this vill. He also gave the vill of Rishton (or Rushton), Lancashire to the same abbey. At an unknown date, he gave Accrington, Lancashire to Kirkstall Abbey, in compensation for the loss of Cliviger, Lancashire. He was also a benefactor of Fountains Abbey, Yorkshire. ROBERT DE LACY died 21 August 1193, and was buried at Kirkstall Abbey. His widow, Isabel, married (2nd) before 1196 GILBERT DE L'AIGLE, of Pevensey, Sussex, Greywell, Hampshire, Westcote (in Dorking) and Witley, Surrey, etc., seigneur of l'Aigle in Normandy, son and heir of Richer III de l'Aigle, of Pevensey, Sussex, seigneur of l'Aigle in Normandy, by his wife, Odeline (or Edeline). They had three sons, Gilbert, Richer, and William, and one daughter, Alice (wife of John de Lacy, Knt., Constable of Chester, 1st Earl of Lincoln). He went to Normandy shortly before 1200. In Michaelmas term 1200 his wife, Isabel, complained before the justices of the bench that Roger, Constable of Chester, had disseised her of dower given her by her former husband, Robert de Lacy. Gilbert's lands were seized in 1204 because of his opposition to King John. In 1207 William de Warenne, Earl of Surrey, gave 3000 marks to have custody of his lands for the use of his sister, Gilbert's wife. In 1208 he had a partial restitution of his lands, but appears to have fallen off again. In 1216 the king sent him a message, urging him to return to fealty, and offering to restore all his lands if he did so. In April 1226 he had license to pass to and from Normandy. In Sept. 1226 his English lands were taken into the king's hands, possibly as a pledge for his loyalty to King Henry III. His lands were restored the following spring on payment of a fine of 500 marks. His wife, Isabel, was a legatee in the 1228 will of Richard de Elmham, Canon of St. Martin le Grant, London, who bequeathed her a box for sacred ceremonial objects. In 1229 he founded the Priory of the Holy Trinity at Michelharn, Sussex. In 1230 he accompanied the king on his expedition to France. The same year Juliane de Pevensey arraigned an assize of novel disseisin against Gilbert de l'Aigle regarding a tenement in Hailsham, Sussex; in 1232 Juliane was amerced 10s. for a false claim. Gilbert was a benefactor of Chaise-Dieu Abbey and Saint-Sulpice Priory, and also confirmed the gifts of his predecessors to Trappe Abbey. GILBERT DE L'AIGLE died shortly before 19 Dec. 1231. On 16 Jan. 1232 his widow, Isabel, was assigned dower out of Gilbert's lands in Sussex, Surrey, and Hampshire. At an unknown date, his wife, Isabel, received one-third of the manor of Northease (in Rodmell), Sussex from her brother, William de Warenne, Earl of Surrey, in exchange for lands in Yorkshire. She gave this one third interest in frank almoin to Michelham Priory. Isabel died without surviving legitimate issue shortly before 30 Nov. 1234.

RICHARD FITZ ROY (otherwise DE WARENNE, also styled DE CHILHAM), of Chilhatn, Kent, married ROSE DE DOVER [see ATHOLL 9]. * The mother of King John's illegitimate son, Richard Fitz Roy, is identified by the 13th Century chronicler, Robert of Gloucester, as the "erles doughter of wareine" [that is, the daughter of the Earl of Warenne]. Contemporary records lend support for this parentage, as Richard Fitz Roy was styled as an adult as "Richard de Warenne" [see, for example, Curia Regis Rolls 16 (1979): 232 ("Ricardus de Warenn' filius regis Johannis"), 450 ("Ricardus de Warein"); Rotuli Litterarum Clausarum 2 (1844): 523]. Richard Fitz Roy also used the surname Warenne on his personal seal [see Birch Cat. Seals in the British Museum 3 (1894): 640]. Richard Fitz Roy's maternal grandfather, Hamelin, Earl of Warenne, had three known daughters, Maud, Ela, and Isabel, conceivably any one of whom could have been Richard's mother. Richard Fitz Roy, however, occurs in two contemporary records listed side by side Isabel's 2nd husband, Gilbert de l'Aigle [see C.P.R. 1216-1225 (1901), page 70; C.P.R. 1225-1232 (1903): 357-362]. Richard also had a daughter named Isabel, but none named Maud or Ela. These pieces of evidence may be considered a good indication but not conclusive evidence that Richard Fitz Roy was the son of Isabel de Warenne." | de Warenne, Isabel (I7184)

She married (1st) WILLIAM OF ENGLAND, Count of Boulogne and Mortain, and, in right of his wife, 4th Earl of Surrey, 2nd but eldest surviving son and heir of Stephen, King of England, by Maud, daughter and heiress of Eustace, Count of Boulogne [see BRABANT 3 for his ancestry]. He was born between 1132-7. They had no issue. He became Count of Boulogne and Mortain on the death of his older brother, Eustache, in August 1153. He was knighted by King Henry II at Carlisle in 1158. At an unknown date, he confirmed the previous gift of his father, King Stephen, to the nuns of Ste.-Marie of Mortain. He died on the Toulouse expedition in October 1159, and was buried in the hospital of Montmorillon in Poitou. His widow, Isabel, married (2nd) in 1164 (probably in April) HAMELIN, vicomte of Touraine, and, in right of his wife, 5th Earl of Surrey, Advocate of St. Berlin, illegitimate son of Geoffrey, Count of Anjou, Duke of Normandy [see ENGLAND 3]. He was half-brother to Henry II, King of England. They had one son, William [6th Earl of Surrey], and three daughters, Maud, Ela, and Isabel. He was present at the Council of Northampton in 1164, and joined in the denunciation of Archbishop Thomas as a traitor. In 1173 he supported King Henry II against his sons. In 1176 he was one of the nobles who escorted Joan, daughter of King Henry II, for her marriage to the King of Sicily. In the period, 1178-1202, Robert de Pormort sold to Hamelin, Earl of Surrey all the fee which the said Robert,held of the earl, in Louveautuit in Normandy for 65 marks and 25 l. of Anjou. He was present at the first coronation of King Richard I in 1189. In the king's absence, he supported the chancellor against the intrigues of the king's brother, John [later King John]. In 1193 he was one of the treasurers for the ransom of King Richard I. At King Richard I's second coronation in 1194, he bore one of the three swords. He was present at the Coronation of King John in 1199. In 1200 he was granted a weekly market at Conisborourgh, Yorkshire. In 1201 strife arose between Hugh, Abbot of Cluny and Hamelin, Earl Warenne concerning the appointment and institution of the Prior of Lewes; the matter was settled by the mediation of Hubert, Archbishop of Canterbury, Eustace, Bishop of Ely, and Geoffrey Fitz Peter, Justiciar of England. In 1202 he granted the advowson of the church of Leigh, Surrey to the Priory of St. Mary Overy, Southwark. HAMELIN, 5th Earl of Surrey (or Warenne), died 7 May 1202. In 1202-3 his widow, Isabel, granted a virgate of land to Richard son of Robert, of Combe. She was living April 1203, but probably died soon afterwards, possibly 12 July 1203.

ELA DE WARENNE, married (1st) ROBERT DE NEWBURGH [see FITZWILLIAM 8]; (2nd) WILLIAM FITZ WILLIAM, of Sprotborough, Yorkshire [see FITZ WILLIAM 8]. iv. ISABEL DE WARENNE. She married (1st) ROBERT DE LACY (or LACI, LASCI), of Pontefract, Yorkshire, son and heir of Henry de Lacy. They had no issue. He attended the Coronation of Richard I in 1189. He confirmed his father's gift in Snydale (in Normanton), Yorkshire to Kirkstall Abbey, Yorkshire, and added three carucates of land in this vill. He also gave the vill of Rishton (or Rushton), Lancashire to the same abbey. At an unknown date, he gave Accrington, Lancashire to Kirkstall Abbey, in compensation for the loss of Cliviger, Lancashire. He was also a benefactor of Fountains Abbey, Yorkshire. ROBERT DE LACY died 21 August 1193, and was buried at Kirkstall Abbey. His widow, Isabel, married (2nd) before 1196 GILBERT DE L'AIGLE, of Pevensey, Sussex, Greywell, Hampshire, Westcote (in Dorking) and Witley, Surrey, etc., seigneur of l'Aigle in Normandy, son and heir of Richer III de l'Aigle, of Pevensey, Sussex, seigneur of l'Aigle in Normandy, by his wife, Odeline (or Edeline). They had three sons, Gilbert, Richer, and William, and one daughter, Alice (wife of John de Lacy, Knt., Constable of Chester, 1st Earl of Lincoln). He went to Normandy shortly before 1200. In Michaelmas term 1200 his wife, Isabel, complained before the justices of the bench that Roger, Constable of Chester, had disseised her of dower given her by her former husband, Robert de Lacy. Gilbert's lands were seized in 1204 because of his opposition to King John. In 1207 William de Warenne, Earl of Surrey, gave 3000 marks to have custody of his lands for the use of his sister, Gilbert's wife. In 1208 he had a partial restitution of his lands, but appears to have fallen off again. In 1216 the king sent him a message, urging him to return to fealty, and offering to restore all his lands if he did so. In April 1226 he had license to pass to and from Normandy. In Sept. 1226 his English lands were taken into the king's hands, possibly as a pledge for his loyalty to King Henry III. His lands were restored the following spring on payment of a fine of 500 marks. His wife, Isabel, was a legatee in the 1228 will of Richard de Elmham, Canon of St. Martin le Grant, London, who bequeathed her a box for sacred ceremonial objects. In 1229 he founded the Priory of the Holy Trinity at Michelharn, Sussex. In 1230 he accompanied the king on his expedition to France.

RICHARD FITZ ROY (otherwise DE WARENNE, also styled DE CHILHAM), of Chilhatn, Kent, married ROSE DE DOVER [see ATHOLL 9]. * The mother of King John's illegitimate son, Richard Fitz Roy, is identified by the 13th Century chronicler, Robert of Gloucester, as the "erles doughter of wareine" [that is, the daughter of the Earl of Warenne]. Contemporary records lend support for this parentage, as Richard Fitz Roy was styled as an adult as "Richard de Warenne" [see, for example, Curia Regis Rolls 16 (1979): 232 ("Ricardus de Warenn' filius regis Johannis"), 450 ("Ricardus de Warein"); Rotuli Litterarum Clausarum 2 (1844): 523]. Richard Fitz Roy also used the surname Warenne on his personal seal [see Birch Cat. Seals in the British Museum 3 (1894): 640]. Richard Fitz Roy's maternal grandfather, Hamelin, Earl of Warenne, had three known daughters, Maud, Ela, and Isabel, conceivably any one of whom could have been Richard's mother. Richard Fitz Roy, however, occurs in two contemporary records listed side by side Isabel's 2nd husband, Gilbert de l'Aigle [see C.P.R. 1216-1225 (1901), page 70; C.P.R. 1225-1232 (1903): 357-362]. Richard also had a daughter named Isabel, but none named Maud or Ela. These pieces of evidence may be considered a good indication but not conclusive evidence that Richard Fitz Roy was the son of Isabel de Warenne." 2. “Royal Ancestry: A Study in Colonial & Medieval Families,” Douglas Richardson (2013): “MAUD OF ENGLAND, sometimes styled "Lady of the English" (rarely "Queen of the English"), daughter and heiress, born at London about 8 Feb. 1102 (8 years old in 1110). She married (1st) at Mainz 7 January 1114 HEINRICH (or HENRY) V, Holy Roman Emperor, son of Heinrich IV, Holy Roman Emperor, by Bertha, daughter of Otto, Count of Savoy. They had no issue. HEINRICH V died at Utrecht 23 May 1125. Maud was declared heir presumptive to her father in 1126. She married (2nd) Le Mans, Maine 17 June 1128 GEOFFREY PLANTAGENET, (nicknamed le Bel), Count of Anjou and Maine, Knt., son and heir of Foulques V le Jeune, Count of Anjou, King of Jerusalem, by his 1st wife, Eremburge, daughter and heiress of Helie, Count of Maine. He was born 24 August 1113. They had three sons, Henry (II) [King of England, Duke of Normandy and Aquitaine, Count of Anjou], Geoffrey [Count of Anjou and Nantes], and William Longespée. By an unknown mistress (or mistresses), Geoffrey also had one illegitimate son, Hamelin [5th Earl of Surrey], and two illegitimate daughters, Emma and Mary [Abbess of Shaftesbury]. On her father, King Henry I's death in 1135, she at once entered Normandy to claim her inheritance. The border districts submitted to her, but England chose her cousin, Stephen, for its king, and Normandy soon followed suit. The following year, Geoffrey gave Ambrières, Gorron, and Châtilon-sur-Colmont to Juhel de Mayenne, on condition that he help obtain the inheritance of Geoffrey's wife, Maud. In 1139 Maud landed in England with 140 knights, where she was besieged at Arundel Castle by King Stephen. In the civil war which ensued, Stephen was captured at Lincoln in Feb. 1141 and imprisoned at Bristol. A legatine council of the English church held at Winchester in April 1141 declared Stephen deposed and proclaimed Maud "Lady of the English." Stephen was subsequently released from prison and had himself recrowned on the anniversary of his first coronation. During 1142 and 1143, Geoffrey secured all of Normandy west and south of the Seine, and, on 14 Jan. 1144, he crossed the Seine and entered Rouen. He assumed the title of Duke of Normandy in summer 1144. In 1144 he founded an Augustine priory at Château-l'Ermitage in Anjou. Geoffrey held the duchy until 1149, when he and Maud conjointly ceded it to their son, Henry, which cession was formally ratified by King Louis VII of France the following year. GEOFFREY, Count of Anjou and Maine, died at Château-du-Loir 7 Sept. 1151, and was buried in St. Julien's, Le Mans, Maine. In 1153 the Treaty of Westminster allowed Stephen should remain King of England for life and that Maud's son, Henry, should succeed him. MAUD, late Empress of Almain, died at Rouen, Normandy 10 Sept. 1167, and was buried at Bec Abbey, Normandy. At her death, her wealth was distributed to the poor, and to various hospitals, churches, and monasteries. Sandford Gen. Hist. of the Kings of England (1677): 34-37.

Illegitimate children of Geoffrey Plantagenet, by an unknown mistress (or mistresses), i. HAMELIN, 5th Earl of Surrey, married ISABEL DE WARENNE [see WARENNE 7]. ii. EMMA [OF ANJOU],* married in summer 1174 DAFYDD AB OWAIN, Prince (or King) of North Wales, younger son of Owain Gwynedd, by Christina, daughter of Gronw ab Owain ab Edwin. They had two sons, Owain and Einion, and two daughters, Gwenhwyfar (or Wennour) (wife of Meurig ap Roger Powys) and Gwenllian (wife of Gruffiidd ap Cadwgon). In 1157 he took part in the ambush of Hawarden Woods. In 1170 he and his brother, Rhodri, attacked and killed their half-brother, Hywel ab Owain, in a battle near Pentraeth. In 1173 he attacked another half-brother, Maelgwn ab Owain, and drove him from Anglesey. In 1174 he ejected all his rivals, whereby he became ruler of the whole of Gwynedd. There are evidences on the Pipe Roll of 1176 of Emma, wife of Dafydd ab Owain, having visited her brother, King Henry II of England. In 1175 he was attacked by his brother, Rhodri, and driven into the eastern half of Gweynedd. In 1177 King Henry II bestowed the manors of Ellesmere, Shropshire and Halesowen, Worcestershire on his sister, Emma. Dafydd subsequently settled in the Middle Country, where he resided in a castle at Rhuddlan, Caemarvonshire. In 1187 Archbishop Baldwin lodged one night at Rhuddlan Castle to visit Dafydd's wife, Emma, the king's sister. About 1190-4 Dafydd and his wife, Emma, together with their son, Owain, gave Stockett in Ellesmere, Shropshire to Haughmond Abbey. In 1193 she restored the manor of Halesowen, Worcestershire to her nephew, King Richard I, in exchange for rents of other manors including Broom and Clent, Worcestershire. In 1194 Dafydd was defeated by his nephew, Llywelyn ap Iorwerth [see WALES 6], in a battle at Aberconwy. About 1196 he and his wife, Emma, at the request of their son, ()wain, gave the whole land of Cricket (in Ellesmere), together with pannage for 100 swine, to Haughmond Abbey. In 1197 Dafydd was imprisoned by Llywelyn ap Iorwerth. He was released in Jan. 1198 by the intervention of Hubert Walter, Archbishop of Canterbury, and spent the rest of his life in England. In 1200 he and his wife, Emma, were sued in the king's court by Gerald and his wife, Margery, John Grefelne and his wife, Maud, and several other parties regarding one virgate and a half of land in Chatley (in Halesowen), Worcestershire. The same year King John ordered that Emma not be impleaded, except before the king himself, for any tenement which she held on that day that King Henry II gave her the manors of Ellesmere and Halesowen. In the assizes of October. 1203 [sic] Dafydd and his wife, Emma, were sued by Reynold de Thirn for disseising him of a tenement in Stockett and Kenewick (n Ellesmere), Shropshire, but the suit could not proceed as the property was then in the hands of the king. DAFYDD AB OWAIN, former Prince (or King) of North Wales, died in exile about May 1203, in which month King John ordered his justiciar to find an equivalent for Ellesmere, Shropshire for Emma, widow of Dafydd, as far as possible from the marches. His widow, Emma, was living in 1212, then holding Halesowen, Worcestershire. Sometime before her death, Emma conveyed three carucates of land and two mills in Chatley and Lapal (in Halesowen), Worcestershire to her granddaughter [“neptes"], Agnes, wife of Stephen de Chatley, in marriage. Emma presumably died c.1214, when her name last appears in the Pipe Rolls; in 1214 King John of England granted the manor of Halesowen, Worcestershire to Peter des Roches, Bishop of Winchester, for the purpose of building and endowing a religious house.

In 1204 King John of England ordered that the Sheriff of Warwickshire value Robert de Harcourt's manor of Elmdon, Warwickshire, and to give 13 librates therein to Owain ap Dafydd, in exchange for Owain's land of Ellesmere, Shropshire. About 1204 Owain confirmed the premises of Stockett (in Ellesmere), Shropshire to hold to Haughmond Abbey under himself and his heirs. In 1205 the king assigned him 15 librates of land in Waltham, Lincolnshire. In 1212 the king granted Owain ap Dafydd and his cousin, Gruffudd ap Rhodri, the three cantrefs of Rhos, Rhufoniog, and Dyffryn Clwyd, and also promising them Arfon, Arllechwedd, and Lleyn, if they could win them.

In 1205 his father gave him to King John as a hostage for his loyalty; he was released in 1212. He married (1st) in 1214 ALICE DE BETHUNE, daughter of Baldwin de Bethune, Count of Aumale, by Hawise, daughter of William, Count of Aumale. They had no issue. Her dowry included the manor of Wantage, Berkshire. He joined the baronial opposition, and in Feb. 1214/5 he was present at the meeting of the barons at Stamford. In June he was elected one of the 25 Barons to ensure the execution of the provisions of Magna Carta. He was subsequently excommunicated by the Pope 11 Dec. 1215. His wife, Alice, was living Sept. 1215. She died probably about 1216, and was buried in St. Paul's Cathedral, London. In the period, 1215-19, he confirmed the legacy left by his former wife, Alice de Bethun, of 100s. from her manor of Luton, Bedfordshire to the dean and chapter of St. Paul's, London for the foundation of a chantry in the church of St. Paul's. In the same period, he also gave a rent of 20s. from his mill at Brache (in Luton), Bedfordshire to the church of St. Paul, London for the celebration of the obit of his wife, and for a light for her tomb. In April 1216 he had letters of safe conduct to go to his father. In May 1216 he was one of the Barons who joined Louis of France and did homage to him. In July 1216 he seized Worcester for Louis, but retreated when the Earl of Chester approached. In the autumn he deserted Louis and retired to Wales. In March 1216/7 he joined William Longespée, Earl of Salisbury in a revolt at Rye against Louis, who was only saved by the arrival of a French fleet. With Salisbury he besieged and took the Castles of Winchester and Southampton, after which he besieged and captured Marlborough Castle. He fought at the Battle of Lincoln 20 May 1217. In May 1219 he succeeded his father in the Earldom and estates, but he ceded the Norman lands to his brother Richard 20 May 1220. In 1223 he sailed from Ireland with a large force to fight the Welsh, recaputured his castles, defeated Llywelyn and compelled him to come to terms. He married (2nd) by betrothal dated 23 April 1224 ELEANOR OF ENGLAND, daughter of John, King of England, by his 2nd wife, Isabel, daughter and heiress of Ademar (or Aimar) III Taillefer, Count of Angoulême [see ENGLAND 5 for her ancestry]. She was born at Gloucester in 1215. Her maritagium included the manors of Brabourne and Sutton, Kent. They had no issue. In 1224 he wrote Hubert de Burgh the justiciar requesting justice for John Marshal his kinsman. Sometime before 1224 he enfeoffed Fulk Fitz Warin with the manor of Wantage, Berkshire. He was appointed one of the executors in the 1225 will of William Longespée, Earl of Salisbury. He was appointed joint Ambassador to France in 1225 and joint Ambassador to the German Congress at Antwerp in 1227. In 1229 Roger de Dauntsey, Knt., and his wife, Maud de Mandeville, Countess of Essex and Hereford, sold him one moiety of the manor of Long Compton, Warwickshire, except the capital messuage. In 1230 he accompanied the king on his fruitless march to Bordeaux. He founded the house of Friars Preachers at Kilkenny, and was a benefactor to the abbeys of Tintern and Mottisfont, the priory of Inistioge, St. Paul's Cathedral, and the hospital of St. Mary Rounceval. SIR WILLIAM MARSHALL, 5th Earl of Pembroke, died 6 April 1231, and was buried 15 April 1231 in the Temple Church, London. His widow, Eleanor, married (2nd) in the King's chapel at Westminster 7 Jan. 1237/8 SIMON DE MONTFORT, Knt., Earl of Leicester, High Steward of England, Governor of Gascony [see LEICESTER 10], 3rd son of Simon de Montfort, Earl of Leicester, seigneur of Montfort, by Alice, daughter of Bouchard de Montmorency, seigneur of Montmorency, Conflans-Sainte-Honorine, Heronville, and Ecouen. He was born about 1208. They had five sons, Henry, Knt., Simon, Knt., Amaury (clerk), Guy [Count of Nola], and Richard, and two daughters, including Eleanor (wife of Llywelyn ap Gruffudd, Prince of Wales, lord of Snowdon). In 1229 his older brother, Amaury de Montfort, surrendered to him all their father's inheritance in England. In August 1231 King Henry III restored him in his father's lands in England. In 1236 he served as High Steward at Queen Eleanor's coronation. In 1240 he embarked on a Crusade to the Holy Land and returned to Europe in Spring 1242. He took part in King Henry III's unsuccessful expedition to Poitou in 1242. In 1253 he and his wife, Eleanor, were granted Kenilworth castle, Warwickshire, and the manor of Odiham, Hampshire for life. In 1254 he was sent to Scotland on a secret mission for the king. In 1263 Parliament denounced the king as "false to his oath" and declared war on all violators of the "Provisions." In July 1263 Earl Simon and the barons entered London, where he made the king ratify his concessions. In 1264 a decisive battle was fought at Lewes, where the King and his son Edward were captured. Simon subsequently carried on the government under the King's name and seal, including the summoning of a Parliament in London in Jan. 1265. SIR SIMON DE MONTFORT, Earl of Leicester, was slain at the Battle of Evesham 4 August 1265, and was buried at Evesham Abbey. His tomb at Evesham at once became a shrine at which miracles were wrought. He left a will dated 1 Jan. 1259. His widow, Eleanor, went into exile about Nov. 1265. She retired to the convent of the sisters of Saint-Dominique near Montargis in France, where she died testate 13 April 1275.

| 5578 | RESEARCH_NOTES: 1. “Royal Ancestry: A Study in Colonial & Medieval Families,” Douglas Richardson (2013): "JOHN OF ENGLAND (nicknamed Lackland), King of England, Lord of Ireland, Duke of Normandy and Aquitaine, Count of Anjou, youngest son, born at Oxford about 27 Dec. 1166. In 1173 he was contracted to marry Alice of Maurienne, eldest daughter of Humbert III, Count of Maurienne and Savoy, Marquis of Italy. This marriage scheme failed when his older brother, Henry, as count of Anjou, refused their father's proposal to give John the castles of Chinon, Loudun, and Mirebeau. In 1174 it was agreed that John should have Nottingham and Marlborough Castles in England and certain castles and rents in France. In 1177 his father declared him King of Ireland, and arranged his succession to the earldom of Gloucester. In March 1185 his father knighted him at Windsor, and sent him to govern Ireland. John treated the Irishmen with such insolence, they deserted the English cause and kept the Kings of Limerick, Cork, and Connacht from coming to do fealty to him. He was recalled from Ireland by his father in Sept. 1185. His father's continued favor to him contributed to the rebellion of John's older brother, Richard, though at the end of Henry's reign, John deserted his father to support Richard. On Richard's accession as king in 1189, he made John Count of Mortain in Normandy, and granted him the castles and honours of Marlborough, Ludgershall, Lancaster, Bolsover, and the Peak, the town of Nottingham, the honours of Tickhill and Wallingford, and the county of Derby, with the honour of Peverel. John married (1st) at Marlborough, Wiltshire 29 August 1189 ISABEL OF GLOUCESTER, Countess of Gloucester, lady of Glamorgan, youngest daughter and co-heiress of William Fitz Robert, Earl of Gloucester, by Hawise, daughter of Robert de Beaumont, 2nd Earl of Leicester [see GLOUCESTER 4 for her ancestry]. Baldwin, Archbishop of Canterbury, protested against the marriage, John and Isabel being related in the 3rd degree of kindred. They had no issue. He was present at the Coronation of his brother, King Richard I, in Sept. 1189. By the end of 1189, John was further granted the counties of Dorset, Somerset, Devon, and Cornwall, with all rights of jurisdiction. In 1191, while Richard was on crusade, John broke his promise not to enter England during Richard's absence, and, on learning of Richard's imprisonment in Germany, attempted unsuccessfully to seize control of England. On Richard's return in 1193, John was deprived of his English lands and excommunicated. In May 1193 Richard and John were reconciled by the mediation of the queen- mother. In 1195 Richard granted him the county of Mortain, the honour of Eye, and earldom of Gloucester. In the beginning of April 1199, as Richard was dying, he named John his successor in England and all his dominions. On the death of Richard, 6 April 1199, John ascended the throne and was crowned King of England at Westminster Abbey 27 May 1199. In 1199 he obtained a divorce from his wife, Isabel, on grounds of consanguinity. She was subsequently kept a state prisoner until 1214.* John married (2nd) at Bordeaux 24 August 1200 ISABEL OF ANGOULÊME, daughter and heiress of Adémar (or Aitnar) Ill Taillefer, Count of Angoulême, by Alice (or Alaïs, Alaidis), daughter of Pierre of France, seigneur of Courtenay, Montargis, and Châteaurenard (younger son of Louis VI, King of France). She was born in 1188, and was previously contracted to marry Hugues IX le Brun (died Nov. 1219), Count of La Marche, seigneur of Lusignan and Couhé. She was crowned queen 8 October 1200. They had five children (see below). By various mistresses, King John had a large number of illegitimate children, including nine sons, Richard, Knt., Oliver, John, Geoffrey, Henry, Knt., Osbert Giffard, Eudes (or Ives), Bartholomew (clerk), and possibly Philip, and four daughters, Joan, ___, Maud [Abbess of Barking], and allegedly Isabel. War with France followed John's refusal to appear in 1202 before King Philippe Auguste of France concerning the grievance of the Lusignans. At first John was successful in defending his French lands, capturing his nephew, Arthur of Brittany, in August 1202, but, in 1204, he lost Normandy, Anjou, Maine, and Touraine to the French king. For the next ten years, John resided almost permanently in England (the first such Angevin king) and attempted to restore his finances for further warfare in France by determined taxation and exploitation of his feudal prerogatives (later the basis for the charge of tyranny). In 1205 he began a quarrel with the Church when he refused to accept Pope Innocent III's nomination of Stephen Langton as Archbishop of Canterbury. His intransigence in the matter led the Pope to impose an interdict on England in 1208, suspending all religious services, and excommunicating King John. In 1210 he went to Ireland, where he took Carrickfergus, seized the lands of the Lacys and banished the Earl of Ulster, built several fortresses, appointed sheriffs and other officers to carry out the English system of law, and coined new money. He arrested all the Jews in England, and made them pay 66,000 marks. In 1211 he made an expedition into North Wales, compelled the submission of Llywelyn, and raised fortresses. In 1213, after five years of amassing the revenues of vacant or appropriated sees and abbeys, John agreed to become a vassal to the Pope for an annual tribute of one thousand marks, with absolution from excommunication and the lifting of the interdict. In 1214 John conducted another campaign in France, and suffered a disastrous defeat at the Battle of Bouvines on the river Margne. An alliance of barons took advantage of this defeat to launch a rebellion which was successful in forcing John to agree to a comprehensive and humiliating agreement at Runnymede near Windsor 19 June 1215 called the Magna Carta [Great Charter]. This defined the rights of the Church, barons, and the people. John soon repudiated the charter, claiming he acted under duress, and civil war ensued. JOHN, King of England, died testate suddenly at the Bishop of Lincoln's castle at Newark 19 October 1216, and was buried at Worcester Cathedral. His widow, Isabel, returned to France in 1217, to take up residence in her native city of Angoulême. She reasserted her control over Cognac, and entered into prolonged and violent disputes with Reginald de Pons over the castle of Merpins, and with Bartholomew le Puy. She married (2nd) 10 May 1220 HUGUES [X] LE BRUN (otherwise known as HUGUES DE LUSIGNAN), Count of La Marche, seigneur of Lusignan, Château-Larcher, Montreuil-Bonnin, and la Mothe-Saint-Heray, and, in right of his wife, Count of Angoulême, son and heir of Hugues [IX] le Brun, Count of La Marche, seigneur of Lusignan and Couhe, by his 1st wife, Agatha, daughter of Pierre de Montrabel, seigneur of Preuilly. They had five sons, Hugh le Brun (XI) [Count of La Marche and Angoulême], Guy (or Gui), Chev. [seigneur of Couhe, Cognac, Merpins, etc.], Geoffrey, Chev. [seigneur of Jarnac, Châteauneuf, Château-Larcher, etc.], William de Valence, Knt. [Lord (or Earl) of Pembroke], and Aymer [Bishop elect of Winchester], and four daughters, Agnes (wife of Goillaume de Chauvigiy, seigneur of Châteauroux), Alice (or Alix) (wife of John de Warenne, Knt., 7th Earl of Surrey [see WARENNE 9]), Isabelle (wife of Maurice IV de Craon), and Marguerite (wife successively of Raymond VII, Count of Toulouse [see ENGLAND 4.vii.a above], Amaury IX, Vicomte of Thouars, and Geoffroi V, seigneur of Châteaubriant). In 1224 Hugues de Lusignan defected to King Louis VIII of France during the Capetian invasion of Poitou, with Louis promising Isabel 2000 lives Parisis annually in return for her dower lands forfeit in England, and the annual revenues of Langeais near Tours in exchange for rights that she claimed as dower at Saumur in Anjou. In 1230 they entered into alliance with King Louis IX of France, who granted Isabel an annual pension of 5000 livres Tours in return for resignation of her dower rights she daimed in England, Normandy, and Anjou. In 1242 she and her husband, Hugues, rebelled against the French. In return for a pardon from King Louis IX, they were forced to relinquish the pensions paid to them since 1224 and to abandon their claim to Saintes. Isabel was subsequently implicated in a plot to poison King Louis IX and his brother, Alphonse, Count of Poitiers. Isabel, dowager Queen of England, Countess of La Marche and Angoulême, subsequently took refuge in Fontevrault Abbey, where she died testate 4 June 1246. She was initially buried in the common graveyard of the Abbey, but at her son, King Henry III's request, her remains were moved in 1254 to the choir of the Abbey Church. Hugues [X] de Lusignan, Count of La Marche and Angoulême, went on crusade to Holy Land in 1248. He was mortally wounded at the capture of Damietta 6 June 1249. He left a will dated 8 August 1248. (* Note: In 1207 Isabel of Gloucester, former wife of King John, was lodged in Sherborne Castle [see Hardy Rotuli Litterarum Clausarum 1 (1833): 92; Hardy Rotali Iitterarum Patentium (1835): 77; C.P. 5 (1926): 689-692 (sub Gloucester)]. Early in 1214, she was in Bristol Castle, apparently closely guarded (ibid., p. 108b), and was brought thence to be given in marriage to Geoffrey de Mandeville [see Hardy Rotuli Litterarum Clausarum 1 (1833): 162b, 163b, 209b; Hardy Rotuli Litterarum Patentium' (1835): 109b; English Hist.

Children of Isabel of England, by Emperor Frederick (or Friedrich) II: a. MARGARETHA OF HOHENSTAUFEN, born in Feb. 1237. She married before Feb. 1254 (by contract dated 1245) (as his 1st wife) ALBRECHT II OF MEISSEN (nicknamed "The Degenerate”), Margrave of Meissen, Landgrave of Thuringen, son and heir of Heinrich, Margrave of Meissen, Landgrave of Thuringen, by his 1st wife, Constanze, daughter of Leopold VI, Duke of Austria and Styria. He was born in 1240. They had three sons, Heinrich, Friedrich (I) [Margrave of Meissen, Landgrave of Thuringen], and Dietrich (or Dietzmann), and two daughters, Margaretha and Agnes (wife of Heinrich I, Duke of Braunschweig-Grübenhagen). In 1262 his father made a division of his territories, by which Thuringen and the Saxon palatinate were allotted to Albrecht. In consequence of this arrangement, Albrecht was called Landgrave of Thuringen until the death of his father in 1288, and under this title, he is more frequrntly mentioned in history than under that of Margrave of Meissen. He distinguished himself early by valour and military skill in the war of succession in which his father was involved for his lands in Thiiringen. His wife, Margaretha, died at Frankfurt 8 August 1270, and was buried in Frankfurt. ALBRECHT II, Landgrave of Thuringen, died at Erfurt 13 Nov. 1315. Descendants include Erik of Pomerania, King of Denmark, Sweden, and Norway [see LANCASTER 9.vii] and the later Electors and Kings of Saxony.

| 5579 | RESEARCH_NOTES: 1. “Royal Ancestry: A Study in Colonial & Medieval Families,” Douglas Richardson (2013): "JOHN OF ENGLAND (nicknamed Lackland), King of England, Lord of Ireland, Duke of Normandy and Aquitaine, Count of Anjou, youngest son, born at Oxford about 27 Dec. 1166. In 1173 he was contracted to marry Alice of Maurienne, eldest daughter of Humbert III, Count of Maurienne and Savoy, Marquis of Italy. This marriage scheme failed when his older brother, Henry, as count of Anjou, refused their father's proposal to give John the castles of Chinon, Loudun, and Mirebeau. In 1174 it was agreed that John should have Nottingham and Marlborough Castles in England and certain castles and rents in France. In 1177 his father declared him King of Ireland, and arranged his succession to the earldom of Gloucester. In March 1185 his father knighted him at Windsor, and sent him to govern Ireland. John treated the Irishmen with such insolence, they deserted the English cause and kept the Kings of Limerick, Cork, and Connacht from coming to do fealty to him. He was recalled from Ireland by his father in Sept. 1185. His father's continued favor to him contributed to the rebellion of John's older brother, Richard, though at the end of Henry's reign, John deserted his father to support Richard. On Richard's accession as king in 1189, he made John Count of Mortain in Normandy, and granted him the castles and honours of Marlborough, Ludgershall, Lancaster, Bolsover, and the Peak, the town of Nottingham, the honours of Tickhill and Wallingford, and the county of Derby, with the honour of Peverel. John married (1st) at Marlborough, Wiltshire 29 August 1189 ISABEL OF GLOUCESTER, Countess of Gloucester, lady of Glamorgan, youngest daughter and co-heiress of William Fitz Robert, Earl of Gloucester, by Hawise, daughter of Robert de Beaumont, 2nd Earl of Leicester [see GLOUCESTER 4 for her ancestry]. Baldwin, Archbishop of Canterbury, protested against the marriage, John and Isabel being related in the 3rd degree of kindred. They had no issue. He was present at the Coronation of his brother, King Richard I, in Sept. 1189. By the end of 1189, John was further granted the counties of Dorset, Somerset, Devon, and Cornwall, with all rights of jurisdiction. In 1191, while Richard was on crusade, John broke his promise not to enter England during Richard's absence, and, on learning of Richard's imprisonment in Germany, attempted unsuccessfully to seize control of England. On Richard's return in 1193, John was deprived of his English lands and excommunicated. In May 1193 Richard and John were reconciled by the mediation of the queen- mother. In 1195 Richard granted him the county of Mortain, the honour of Eye, and earldom of Gloucester. In the beginning of April 1199, as Richard was dying, he named John his successor in England and all his dominions. On the death of Richard, 6 April 1199, John ascended the throne and was crowned King of England at Westminster Abbey 27 May 1199. In 1199 he obtained a divorce from his wife, Isabel, on grounds of consanguinity. She was subsequently kept a state prisoner until 1214.* John married (2nd) at Bordeaux 24 August 1200 ISABEL OF ANGOULÊME, daughter and heiress of Adémar (or Aitnar) Ill Taillefer, Count of Angoulême, by Alice (or Alaïs, Alaidis), daughter of Pierre of France, seigneur of Courtenay, Montargis, and Châteaurenard (younger son of Louis VI, King of France). She was born in 1188, and was previously contracted to marry Hugues IX le Brun (died Nov. 1219), Count of La Marche, seigneur of Lusignan and Couhé. She was crowned queen 8 October 1200. They had five children (see below). By various mistresses, King John had a large number of illegitimate children, including nine sons, Richard, Knt., Oliver, John, Geoffrey, Henry, Knt., Osbert Giffard, Eudes (or Ives), Bartholomew (clerk), and possibly Philip, and four daughters, Joan, ___, Maud [Abbess of Barking], and allegedly Isabel. War with France followed John's refusal to appear in 1202 before King Philippe Auguste of France concerning the grievance of the Lusignans. At first John was successful in defending his French lands, capturing his nephew, Arthur of Brittany, in August 1202, but, in 1204, he lost Normandy, Anjou, Maine, and Touraine to the French king. For the next ten years, John resided almost permanently in England (the first such Angevin king) and attempted to restore his finances for further warfare in France by determined taxation and exploitation of his feudal prerogatives (later the basis for the charge of tyranny). In 1205 he began a quarrel with the Church when he refused to accept Pope Innocent III's nomination of Stephen Langton as Archbishop of Canterbury. His intransigence in the matter led the Pope to impose an interdict on England in 1208, suspending all religious services, and excommunicating King John. In 1210 he went to Ireland, where he took Carrickfergus, seized the lands of the Lacys and banished the Earl of Ulster, built several fortresses, appointed sheriffs and other officers to carry out the English system of law, and coined new money. He arrested all the Jews in England, and made them pay 66,000 marks. In 1211 he made an expedition into North Wales, compelled the submission of Llywelyn, and raised fortresses. In 1213, after five years of amassing the revenues of vacant or appropriated sees and abbeys, John agreed to become a vassal to the Pope for an annual tribute of one thousand marks, with absolution from excommunication and the lifting of the interdict. In 1214 John conducted another campaign in France, and suffered a disastrous defeat at the Battle of Bouvines on the river Margne. An alliance of barons took advantage of this defeat to launch a rebellion which was successful in forcing John to agree to a comprehensive and humiliating agreement at Runnymede near Windsor 19 June 1215 called the Magna Carta [Great Charter]. This defined the rights of the Church, barons, and the people. John soon repudiated the charter, claiming he acted under duress, and civil war ensued. JOHN, King of England, died testate suddenly at the Bishop of Lincoln's castle at Newark 19 October 1216, and was buried at Worcester Cathedral. His widow, Isabel, returned to France in 1217, to take up residence in her native city of Angoulême. She reasserted her control over Cognac, and entered into prolonged and violent disputes with Reginald de Pons over the castle of Merpins, and with Bartholomew le Puy. She married (2nd) 10 May 1220 HUGUES [X] LE BRUN (otherwise known as HUGUES DE LUSIGNAN), Count of La Marche, seigneur of Lusignan, Château-Larcher, Montreuil-Bonnin, and la Mothe-Saint-Heray, and, in right of his wife, Count of Angoulême, son and heir of Hugues [IX] le Brun, Count of La Marche, seigneur of Lusignan and Couhe, by his 1st wife, Agatha, daughter of Pierre de Montrabel, seigneur of Preuilly. They had five sons, Hugh le Brun (XI) [Count of La Marche and Angoulême], Guy (or Gui), Chev. [seigneur of Couhe, Cognac, Merpins, etc.], Geoffrey, Chev. [seigneur of Jarnac, Châteauneuf, Château-Larcher, etc.], William de Valence, Knt. [Lord (or Earl) of Pembroke], and Aymer [Bishop elect of Winchester], and four daughters, Agnes (wife of Goillaume de Chauvigiy, seigneur of Châteauroux), Alice (or Alix) (wife of John de Warenne, Knt., 7th Earl of Surrey [see WARENNE 9]), Isabelle (wife of Maurice IV de Craon), and Marguerite (wife successively of Raymond VII, Count of Toulouse [see ENGLAND 4.vii.a above], Amaury IX, Vicomte of Thouars, and Geoffroi V, seigneur of Châteaubriant). In 1224 Hugues de Lusignan defected to King Louis VIII of France during the Capetian invasion of Poitou, with Louis promising Isabel 2000 lives Parisis annually in return for her dower lands forfeit in England, and the annual revenues of Langeais near Tours in exchange for rights that she claimed as dower at Saumur in Anjou. In 1230 they entered into alliance with King Louis IX of France, who granted Isabel an annual pension of 5000 livres Tours in return for resignation of her dower rights she daimed in England, Normandy, and Anjou. In 1242 she and her husband, Hugues, rebelled against the French. In return for a pardon from King Louis IX, they were forced to relinquish the pensions paid to them since 1224 and to abandon their claim to Saintes. Isabel was subsequently implicated in a plot to poison King Louis IX and his brother, Alphonse, Count of Poitiers. Isabel, dowager Queen of England, Countess of La Marche and Angoulême, subsequently took refuge in Fontevrault Abbey, where she died testate 4 June 1246. She was initially buried in the common graveyard of the Abbey, but at her son, King Henry III's request, her remains were moved in 1254 to the choir of the Abbey Church. Hugues [X] de Lusignan, Count of La Marche and Angoulême, went on crusade to Holy Land in 1248. He was mortally wounded at the capture of Damietta 6 June 1249. He left a will dated 8 August 1248. (* Note: In 1207 Isabel of Gloucester, former wife of King John, was lodged in Sherborne Castle [see Hardy Rotuli Litterarum Clausarum 1 (1833): 92; Hardy Rotali Iitterarum Patentium (1835): 77; C.P. 5 (1926): 689-692 (sub Gloucester)]. Early in 1214, she was in Bristol Castle, apparently closely guarded (ibid., p. 108b), and was brought thence to be given in marriage to Geoffrey de Mandeville [see Hardy Rotuli Litterarum Clausarum 1 (1833): 162b, 163b, 209b; Hardy Rotuli Litterarum Patentium' (1835): 109b; English Hist.

She married (2nd) 16/26 Jan. 1213/4 (as his 2nd wife) Geoffrey de Mandeville, Knt., Earl of Essex [see ESSEX 2.i], Constable of the Tower of London, 1213, joint Marshal of the Army of the Barons, 1215, and, in right of his wife, Earl of Gloucester [see Palgrave Antient Kalendars & Invs. of the Treasury of His Majesty's Exchequer 1 (1836): 90 (Isabel, wife of Geoffrey de Mandeville, styled "kinswoman" [cognatam] of King John; Luard Annales Monastici 2 (Rolls Ser. 36) (1865): 282 (Annals of Waverley sub A.D. 1215: "Obiit Gaufridus de Mandevilla comes de Essexia."); Doyle Official Baronage of England 1 (1886): 685 (sub Essex); Doyle Official Baronage of England 2 (1886): 12-13 (sub Gloucester); C.P. 5 (1926): 126-130 (sub Essex); Holt Magna Calla (1992): 206-2101.

Isabel married (3rd) c.17 Sept. 1217 (as his 2nd wife) Hubert de Burgh, Earl of Kent [see BARDOLF 8; SCOTLAND 4.iii]. They had no issue. Isabel, Countess of Gloucester and Essex, died 14 October 1217, and was buried in Canterbury Cathedral Church [see Luard Annales Monastici 2 (Rolls Ser. 36) (1865): 289 (Annales de Waverleia sub A.D. 1217: "Obiit Isabel comitissa Gloucestriæ"); Meyer Culture of Christendom (1993): 142 ( Canterbury Obituary Lists: "14 October [2 Id.

Children of Isabel of England, by Emperor Frederick (or Friedrich) II: a. MARGARETHA OF HOHENSTAUFEN, born in Feb. 1237. She married before Feb. 1254 (by contract dated 1245) (as his 1st wife) ALBRECHT II OF MEISSEN (nicknamed "The Degenerate”), Margrave of Meissen, Landgrave of Thuringen, son and heir of Heinrich, Margrave of Meissen, Landgrave of Thuringen, by his 1st wife, Constanze, daughter of Leopold VI, Duke of Austria and Styria. He was born in 1240. They had three sons, Heinrich, Friedrich (I) [Margrave of Meissen, Landgrave of Thuringen], and Dietrich (or Dietzmann), and two daughters, Margaretha and Agnes (wife of Heinrich I, Duke of Braunschweig-Grübenhagen). In 1262 his father made a division of his territories, by which Thuringen and the Saxon palatinate were allotted to Albrecht. In consequence of this arrangement, Albrecht was called Landgrave of Thuringen until the death of his father in 1288, and under this title, he is more frequrntly mentioned in history than under that of Margrave of Meissen. He distinguished himself early by valour and military skill in the war of succession in which his father was involved for his lands in Thiiringen. His wife, Margaretha, died at Frankfurt 8 August 1270, and was buried in Frankfurt. ALBRECHT II, Landgrave of Thuringen, died at Erfurt 13 Nov. 1315. Descendants include Erik of Pomerania, King of Denmark, Sweden, and Norway [see LANCASTER 9.vii] and the later Electors and Kings of Saxony.

He married (1st) an unidentified wife, kinswoman of Queen Eleanor of Aquitaine (wife of King Henry II of England). They had three sons, William, Robert, and Reynold, and one daughter, Egeline. He was a witness in 1150 at Rouen in Normandy of a charter of Henry, Duke of Normandy (afterwards King Henry II of England). He held lands in Sutton, Berkshire in 1160-1, and received a grant of the manor from King Henry II sometime in the period, 1175-84. He witnessed numerous charters of King Henry II issued in the period, 1164-88. He was frequently in the king's train on his itineraries in England and France. In 1171 he accompanied the king in his campaign in Ireland. He married (2nd) after 1173 MAUD FITZ ROBERT, daughter of Robert Fitz Roy (illegitimate son of King Henry I of England), by Maud, daughter of Robert d'Avranches [see ENGLAND 2.i for her ancestry]. In 1174 he witnessed an agreement between King Henry II and William the Lion, King of Scots. He was first recorded as holding lands in Devon in 1175-6. Sometime prior to his death, he granted two islands in the Thames between Witteneiam [?Wittenham] and Wadeiam [?Waddeson] to Abingdon Abbey. REYNOLD DE COURTENAY was living Michaelmas 1190, and died before Michaelmas 1191. In 1204-5 the king presented to the chapel of Musbury, Devon, which should have been in his widow, Maud's gift. In 1213 Maud obtained letters of safe conduct permitting her to return to England and petition for the king's favor. In 1215 the king directed the Constable of Wallingford to deliver to her seisin of the vill of Waddesdon, Buckinghamshire, which formed part of her dower. She presented to the church of Waddesdon, Buckinghamshire about 1215. In 1220 she sued Robert de Courtenay and Reynold de Courtenay (her nephews and step-grandsons) for the manors of Oakharnpton, Chawleigh, Chulmleigh, Kenn, and Musbury, and Sampford, Devon and Hernington, Somerset, which she claimed as her right; Robert answered that no claims under French titles were valid; Maud rebutted that the properties were in England and she was English.

He married (1st) an unidentified wife, kinswoman of Queen Eleanor of Aquitaine (wife of King Henry II of England). They had three sons, William, Robert, and Reynold, and one daughter, Egeline. He was a witness in 1150 at Rouen in Normandy of a charter of Henry, Duke of Normandy (afterwards King Henry II of England). He held lands in Sutton, Berkshire in 1160-1, and received a grant of the manor from King Henry II sometime in the period, 1175-84. He witnessed numerous charters of King Henry II issued in the period, 1164-88. He was frequently in the king's train on his itineraries in England and France. In 1171 he accompanied the king in his campaign in Ireland. He married (2nd) after 1173 MAUD FITZ ROBERT, daughter of Robert Fitz Roy (illegitimate son of King Henry I of England), by Maud, daughter of Robert d'Avranches [see ENGLAND 2.i for her ancestry]. In 1174 he witnessed an agreement between King Henry II and William the Lion, King of Scots. He was first recorded as holding lands in Devon in 1175-6. Sometime prior to his death, he granted two islands in the Thames between Witteneiam [?Wittenham] and Wadeiam [?Waddeson] to Abingdon Abbey. REYNOLD DE COURTENAY was living Michaelmas 1190, and died before Michaelmas 1191. In 1204-5 the king presented to the chapel of Musbury, Devon, which should have been in his widow, Maud's gift. In 1213 Maud obtained letters of safe conduct permitting her to return to England and petition for the king's favor. In 1215 the king directed the Constable of Wallingford to deliver to her seisin of the vill of Waddesdon, Buckinghamshire, which formed part of her dower. She presented to the church of Waddesdon, Buckinghamshire about 1215. In 1220 she sued Robert de Courtenay and Reynold de Courtenay (her nephews and step-grandsons) for the manors of Oakharnpton, Chawleigh, Chulmleigh, Kenn, and Musbury, and Sampford, Devon and Hernington, Somerset, which she claimed as her right; Robert answered that no claims under French titles were valid; Maud rebutted that the properties were in England and she was English. Maud died shortly before 3 August 1224. In 1227 a mandate was sent to the sheriff of Gloucestershire ordering him to make enquiry of Peter Fitz Herbert concerning scutage for the manor of Okehampton, Devon which belonged to Maud de Courtenay.

The same year Maud de Courtenay (his aunt and step-grandmother) sued him regarding the manors of Oakhampton, Chulmleigh, Kenn, and Musbury, and Sampford, Devon and Hemington, Somerset, which she claimed as her right. In 1224 he made fine with the king to render £30 to him annually at the Exchequer of the £190 8s. 7d. due from him to the king; he was allowed such costs he incurred, by order of the king and the same justiciar, to fill a breach in the wall of Exeter castle. In 1227 the king committed the manor of Sedborough (in Parkham), Devon with its appurtenances to his wife, Mary. In 1230 he was overseas in the service of the king. In the period, 1230-2, he settled a long standing dispute with Abingdon Abbey regarding digging turves from the manor of Culham for the repair of Sutton mill, Berkshire. SIR ROBERT DE COURTENAY died at Iweme, Dorset about 27 July 1242, and was buried at Ford Abbey, Dorset. His widow, Mary, was living 15 July 1250. [*Mary de Vernon married (1st) in 1201 (date of charter) (betrothal dated early 1200) Peter de Preaux, Knt., of Alton, Hampshire, Sudbury (in West Ham), Essex, etc., lord of the Channel Islands, Constable of Rouen, younger son of Osbert de Preaux, of Normandy. They had no issue. He accompanied King Richard I on crusade in 1190. He distinguished himself at the Siege of Acre in 1192. In the period, 1194-9, he served King Richard I throughout his wars against Philip II of France. In 1203 he was in charge of the escheats of Normandy and the Jews, except for the Jews of Rouen and Caen. The same year he was granted all the land which Peter de Meulan (his Wife's uncle) held at Sens, Normandy. In 1204, in agreement with the leading men of the city, he surrendered Rouen to King Philippe Auguste of France. He was living in 1209.] Brooke Discoverie of Certaine Errours (1724): 75-76.

Nonetheless, cousins they were, so that in 1217, when Robert de Courtenay was asked to surrender Exeter to Isabella, he is described in King Henry III's letter as 'our kinsman.' Perhaps because of his kinship to one of the leading families of France, Robert de Courtenay of Okehampton appears to have been singled out for particularly harsh treatment by Louis and the French during the civil war of 1216-17, being deprived of his lands in one of Louis' few surviving English charters. The fact that the original of this charter survived amongst the Courtenay family archives in France provides further proof, if such were needed, of the kinship between the English and French Courtenays. Robert appears as witness to Isabella's charter in favour of the monks of St. Nicholas Exeter, issued at Exeter in May 1217.). Knight Great Roll of the Pipe Michaelmas 1222 (Pubs.

He married (1st) an unidentified wife, kinswoman of Queen Eleanor of Aquitaine (wife of King Henry II of England). They had three sons, William, Robert, and Reynold, and one daughter, Egeline. He was a witness in 1150 at Rouen in Normandy of a charter of Henry, Duke of Normandy (afterwards King Henry II of England). He held lands in Sutton, Berkshire in 1160-1, and received a grant of the manor from King Henry II sometime in the period, 1175-84. He witnessed numerous charters of King Henry II issued in the period, 1164-88. He was frequently in the king's train on his itineraries in England and France. In 1171 he accompanied the king in his campaign in Ireland. He married (2nd) after 1173 MAUD FITZ ROBERT, daughter of Robert Fitz Roy (illegitimate son of King Henry I of England), by Maud, daughter of Robert d'Avranches [see ENGLAND 2.i for her ancestry]. In 1174 he witnessed an agreement between King Henry II and William the Lion, King of Scots. He was first recorded as holding lands in Devon in 1175-6. Sometime prior to his death, he granted two islands in the Thames between Witteneiam [?Wittenham] and Wadeiam [?Waddeson] to Abingdon Abbey. REYNOLD DE COURTENAY was living Michaelmas 1190, and died before Michaelmas 1191. In 1204-5 the king presented to the chapel of Musbury, Devon, which should have been in his widow, Maud's gift. In 1213 Maud obtained letters of safe conduct permitting her to return to England and petition for the king's favor. In 1215 the king directed the Constable of Wallingford to deliver to her seisin of the vill of Waddesdon, Buckinghamshire, which formed part of her dower. She presented to the church of Waddesdon, Buckinghamshire about 1215. In 1220 she sued Robert de Courtenay and Reynold de Courtenay (her nephews and step-grandsons) for the manors of Oakharnpton, Chawleigh, Chulmleigh, Kenn, and Musbury, and Sampford, Devon and Hernington, Somerset, which she claimed as her right; Robert answered that no claims under French titles were valid; Maud rebutted that the properties were in England and she was English. Maud died shortly before 3 August 1224.

REYNOLD DE COURTENAY was living Michaelmas 1190, and died before Michaelmas 1191. In 1204-5 the king presented to the chapel of Musbury, Devon, which should have been in his widow, Maud's gift. In 1213 Maud obtained letters of safe conduct permitting her to return to England and petition for the king's favor. In 1215 the king directed the Constable of Wallingford to deliver to her seisin of the vill of Waddesdon, Buckinghamshire, which formed part of her dower. She presented to the church of Waddesdon, Buckinghamshire about 1215. In 1220 she sued Robert de Courtenay and Reynold de Courtenay (her nephews and step-grandsons) for the manors of Oakharnpton, Chawleigh, Chulmleigh, Kenn, and Musbury, and Sampford, Devon and Hernington, Somerset, which she claimed as her right; Robert answered that no claims under French titles were valid; Maud rebutted that the properties were in England and she was English. Maud died shortly before 3 August 1224. In 1227 a mandate was sent to the sheriff of Gloucestershire ordering him to make enquiry of Peter Fitz Herbert concerning scutage for the manor of Okehampton, Devon which belonged to Maud de Courtenay.

| 5585 | RESEARCH_NOTES: 1. “Royal Ancestry: A Study in Colonial & Medieval Families,” Douglas Richardson (2013): "ROBERT DE BRÉTEUIL, Knt., nicknamed “ès Blanchemains,” 2nd Earl of Leicester, Steward of England and Normandy, seigneur of Bréteuil and Paci in Normandy, son and heir, born before 1135 (adult by 1153). He married before 1155/59 PERNEL DE GRANDMESNIL, daughter of Hugh de Grandmesnil, of Hinckley, Leicestershire. They had three sons, William, Robert [3rd Earl of Leicester], and Roger [Chancellor of Scotland, Bishop of Saint Andrew], and four daughters, Arnice, Margaret (or Margery), Hawise (nun), and Pernel. He witnessed charter of his father in the period, c.1150-60. In 1172 his Norman fees consisted of 81 knights' fees of the honour of Bréteuil and 40 knights' fees of the honour of Grandmesnil. In 1173 he joined the revolt of Young King Henry, son of King Henry II of England. His English estates were confiscated and the town of Leicester was taken and burnt. King Henry II himself marched on Bréteuil, and captured and burned the place in Sept. 1173. Robert landed in England from Flanders the same month, at the head of a force of Flemings, and being joined by Hugh le Bigod, Earl of Norfolk, they plundered Norwich and besieged and took the castle of Hagenet in October 1173. He and his wife were intercepted and taken prisoner at Fornham, near Bury St. Edmunds. In the king's treaty with Louis in Sept. 1174, provision was made for the earl's liberation. His castle of Leicester was demolished. His lands and honours were subsequently restored at the Council of Northampton in Jan. 1177, except for Mountsorrel Castle. He witnessed a charter of his cousin, Robert II, Count of Meulan, in 1180. In 1183 he was arrested and imprisoned with his brother-in-law, William, Earl of Gloucester. He was in attendence on the king at Christmas 1186. In 1189-90 he confirmed earlier grants to Nuneaton Priory made by Gervase Paynel, John de Cranford, and Roger Walensis. He attested a charter to the monks of Canterbury in 1189. He was present at the Coronation of King Richard I in 1189, where he carried one of the swords of state. A little after this ceremony, he departed for the Holy Land. Sometime before 1190 he confirmed the gifts of his parents to the leproserie of Bréteuil. He was a benefactor to the Abbey of Saint-Etienne of Caen, to that of Vaux-de-Cemai, to the Priories of Plessis-Grimoud and Sainte-Barbe in Auge, and also to the leproserie of Grand-Beaulieu in Chartres. At an unknown date, he granted the tithe of the fish in his fishponds at Groby, Leicestershire to Nuneaton Priory. At an unknown date, he granted one bovate of land in Groby, Leicestershire to his sister, Isabel, Countess of Northampton, which sometime in or after 1190, she gave to Nuneaton Priory with the provision that the service due be rendered to the earl of Leicester and his heirs. At an unknown date, he granted Saint-Etienne Abbey for the health of the soul of his wife, Countess Pernel, the right to have a turner in his forest of Bréteuil. SIR ROBERT DE BRÉTEUIL, 2nd Earl of Leicester, died at sea near Brindisi or in Rumania on the way to Jerusalem 31 August 1190, and was buried in Durazzo, Greece. In 1203 the king remitted to his widow, Pernel, the sum of 55 marks argent owed to Aaron, a Jew in Lincoln. In 1204 Pernel proffered 3,000 marks to have possession of Leicester, with its appurtenances, and for those fees which belonged to the honour of Grandmesnil. Saher de Quincy made counter-proffers and defeated Pernel's aims. Pernel, Countess of Leicester, died 1 April 1212.

Sometime after 1190 he granted six virgates of land in Wyken near Hinkley, Leicestershire to Nuneaton Priory, in exchange for the land of Bernard of Waltham in Waltham on the Wolds, Leicestershire. He was invested with the earldom of Leicester by King Richard I at Messina in 1191. He was captured by Philippe Auguste, King of France in 1193, while defending Rouen. Following King Philippe's conquest of Paci in Normandy in 1194 (which was confirmed by treaty by King Richard I in 1195-6), Earl Robert, who was then a captive, was forced to cede Paci as a ransom. He made two futile attempts in 1198 to recover Paci in Normandy. In 1203-4 he granted the church of Lincoln and William, Bishop of Lincoln, 16 virgates of land in Thurmaston, with his capital messuage in the same village, in augmentation of the exchange assigned for the manor of Leicester. In 1204 he and William Marshal were sent as ambassadors to negotiate a truce with King Philippe Auguste of France. ROBERT DE BRÉTEUIL, 3rd Earl of Leicester, died 20 October 1204.

MARGARET (or MARGERY) OF LEICESTER, married SAHER DE QUINCY, Knt., 1st Earl of Winchester [see QUINCY 6].” 2. “Royal Ancestry: A Study in Colonial & Medieval Families,” Douglas Richardson (2013): “ROBERT OF MEULAN, Knt., nicknamed “le Bossu,” 1st Earl of Leicester, Justiciar of England, 1155-68, and, in right of his wife, of seigneur of Bréteuil, Lire, and Gloz in Normandy, younger son, born in 1104. He and his brother, Waleran, were brought up at the court of King Henry I of England with great care on account of the king's gratitude to their father. At his father's death in 1118, he succeeded to his English fiefs. He married after Nov. 1120 AMICE DE GAEL, daughter of Raoul de Gael, seigneur of Gael in Brittany and Bréteuil in Normandy. They had four sons, Robert, Knt. [2nd Earl of Leicester], Henry, Geoffrey, and John, and three daughters, Isabel (or Elizabeth), Hawise, and Margaret. He was granted the honour of Bréteuil in Normandy by his wife's father, who resigned it in his favor. He was knighted in 1122. Sometime in the period, 1126-68, he gave the church of Weedon, Northamptonshire to Bec Abbey. He was present at the death-bed of King Henry I in 1135. In the anarchy which followed, war broke out between Robert and his hereditary foe, Roger de Tony, whom he eventually captured with his brother, Waleran's assistance. Sometime in the period, c.1135-68, he and his son, Robert, confirmed the grant to Bec Abbey by William de Braol of £10 annual rent in “Pachem” (unidentified). In Dec. 1137 he and his brother, Waleran, returned to England with King Stephen as his chief advisers. In 1139 he and his brother seized the Bishops of Salisbury and Lincoln at Oxford. Sometime in the period, 1139-1141 he was granted the city, castle, and entire county of Hereford by King Stephen; the grant cannot have been much more than momentary. He devoted himself to his foundation of St. Mary de Pré at Leicester, which was accomplished in 1143. After the death of King Stephen, he appears to have made a truce with the Angevin party in Normandy. Following the death of his wife's cousin, William de Paci, in 1153, he was granted Paci in Normandy by Henry, Duke of Normandy (afterwards King Henry II). On Duke Henry's landing in England in 1153, he supplied him freely with means for his struggle. Shortly after the coronation of King Henry II in 1154, he was appointed chief justiciar of England. In 1158 he was left in charge of the kingdom, in a vice-regal capacity, until the king's return from Normandy in 1163. He was present at the Council of Clarendon, 13-28 Jan. 1163/4, and was the first to attest the "Constitutions," to which he procured the assent of Thomas à Becket. In 1165, on the king's departure, he was again left in charge of the kingdom. He appears to have accompanied the king to Normandy in spring 1166, but leaving him, returned to his post before October, and retained it until his death. In addition to St. Mary de Pré, he founded the abbey of Garendon, the monastery of Nuneaton, the priory of Lusfield, and the hospital of Brackley. He was also a benefactor to the Abbeys of Lire and la Chaise-Dieu in Normandy. At an unknown date, he confirmed to the church of Saint Nigasius of Meulan one ounce of gold in Thurmaston, Leicestershire which Amice his wife had formerly given. SIR ROBERT OF MEULAN, 1st Earl of Leicester, died 5 April 1168. His widow, Amice, is said to have entered the convent of Nuneaton Priory. She died 31 August, year uncertain.

They had one son, Simon [Earl of Huntingdon and Northampton], and three daughters, Amice, Hawise, and Isabel. By an unknown mistress, he had an illegitimate son, Simon. He witnessed the Oxford charter of King Stephen in 1136. He was recognized as Earl of Northampton previous to 1140. About 1140, as "Earl Simon," he granted three bovates and two tofts in Barton on Humber, Lincolnshire to William his chamberlain. He fought for King Stephen at the Battle of Lincoln in 1141, and was one of the three earls who remained faithful to Queen Maud during her husband's captivity. About 1145 he exchanged various rents from the mills of Earl's Barton and Great Doddington, Northamptonshire with the Prior and convent of St. Andrew's, Northampton, in return for lands in Hardingstone, Northamptonshire. After the death of his half-brother, Henry of Scotland, in 1152, he obtained the earldom of Huntingdon. He appears five times in the charters of his brother-in- law, Robert, Earl of Leicester, including treaties with the Bishop of Lincoln and Earl of Chester. In 1152-3 he granted Merton, Oxfordshire to the Templers. He founded the nunnery of De la Pre, June 1184. He was buried in St. Andrew's Priory, Northampton, to which he was a benefactor. His widow, Alice, died in 1185. She gave the mills of Folkingham, Lincolnshire to Sempinghan Priory, Lincolnshire in order that she might be buried there, but it appears she was instead buried at Bridlington Priory, Yorkshire.

| 5588 | RESEARCH_NOTES: 1. “Royal Ancestry: A Study in Colonial & Medieval Families,” Douglas Richardson (2013): "THOMAS DE BERKELEY, Knt., of Berkeley, Gloucestershire, Wendon, Essex, etc., Vice-Constable of England, 2nd but 1st surviving son and heir, born at Berkeley about 1251 (aged 30 in 1281). He married in 1267 JOAN DE FERRERS, daughter of William de Ferrers, Knt., 5th Earl of Derby, by his 2nd wife, Margaret (or Margery), daughter and co-heiress of Roger de Quincy, Knt., 2nd Earl of Winchester, hereditary Constable of Scotland [see FERRERS 7 for her ancestry]. Her maritagium included the manors of Coston, Leicestershire and Eynesbury Berkeley, Huntingdonshire. They had four sons, Maurice, Knt. [2nd Lord Berkeley], Thomas, Knt., John, and [Master] James [Bishop of Exeter], and two daughters, Margaret and Isabel [Prioress of Buckland Priory]. In the period, c.1254-60, Robert de Ferrers granted the manor of Easton, Leicestershire to his sister, Joan de Ferrers. He was present at the Battle of Evesham in 1265. He and his wife, Joan, presented to the church of Coston, Leicestershire in 1277. He served in the first expedition against Llywelyn, Prince of Wales, in 1277, and again in the second invasion under the king in 1282. In 1284 he was ordered by the Bishop of Worcester against distraining the cattle of the tenants of the church of Cam. He was on the commission to inquire into claims to the Scottish crown in 1292. In 1292 John Tarbaud brought the Replegiare against him; Thomas avowed the taking by reason that he and his ancestors had held the hundred of Berkeley of the king in fee farm, in which hundred all those within the precinct of the hundred ought to come at two Lawdays in the year to present hue and cry. He was summoned to Parliament 24 June 1295 by writ directed Thome de Berkelegh', whereby he may be held to have become Lord Berkeley. He was employed on an embassy to France in 1296, and to Pope Clement V in 1307. He fought at the Battle of Falkirk 22 July 1298, and was present at the Siege of Caerlaverock in 1300. He signed the Barons' letter to Pope Boniface VIII in 1301 as D'n's de Berkele. In 1303, while Thomas and his son, Maurice, were with the king in Scotland, Maurice's officers seized and imprisoned a Bristol burgess named Richard Cornwall at Redcliffe on a charge of murder. The men of Bristol liberated their fellow townsman, and, according to a complaint lodged by Maurice, they made away with goods to the value of 500 marks. This resulted in open conflict with the burgesses of Bristol, in which the burgesses alleged that the Berkeleys' men beat and assaulted them, so that they were not able to venture outside the town on legitimate business. The justices appointed to deal with the case gave judgment against the Berkeleys. A heavy amercement was levied on them which was commuted for service in the Scottish war, but the liberties of the manor and hundred of Bedminster were taken into the king's hands. In 1303 he purchased the reversion of the manor of Frampton on Severn, Gloucestershire from Richard de Clifford son and heir of John de Clifford, Knt.; he subsequently conveyed the manor in 1305 to Robert Fitz Payn, 1st Lord Fitzpayn, and his wife, Isabel, for an annual rent of 22 marks. In 1306 he obtained a license to alienate in mortmain two shops in Wells, Somerset to the Prioress and sisters of Buckland Priory. He was summoned to attend the Coronation of King Edward II in 1308. He was taken prisoner at the Battle of Bannockburn 24 June 1314, paying a large sum for his ransom. His wife, Joan, died 19 March 1309/10, and was buried at St. Augustine's, Bristol. In 1321 the king directed him and 70 others to arrest those that disturb the peace and spread false reports. SIR THOMAS DE BERKELEY, 1st Lord Berkeley, died 23 July 1321.

In 1314 he had livery of his lands. He was present at a Parliament in Dublin in 1324. In 1327 he was admonished for refusing to obey the Justiciar. On 27 August 1329 the king gave him all the royal liberties in co. Kerry, except the four usual pleas and the profits from the crosses, by the service of a knight's fee, by the name and honour of Earl of Desmond. In 1330 he assisted John Darcy the Justiciar in subduing the O'Nolans and O'Mores. He was prohibited from attacking the Earl of Ulster in 1330; both earls were taken in custody, but Desmond escaped. The same year he was ordered to appear before the king and Council to receive justice in a certain matter. He was arrested at Limerick 16 August 1331, and sent to Dublin Castle. He was imprisoned for about 18 months, when he was released. His wife, Katherine, died at Dublin about 1 Nov. 1331.

The earl escaped and could not be found. In June 1346 he received a special protection in order that he might come to England to answer his accusers. He remained in custody a long time. He was released 18 Feb. 1347/8. In 1349 he was pardoned for all treasons, acts of war, etc. In 1351 he received a special protection against his enemies in Ireland.

He married in 1267 JOAN DE FERRERS, daughter of William de Ferrers, Knt., 5th Earl of Derby, by his 2nd wife, Margaret (or Margery), daughter and co-heiress of Roger de Quincy, Knt., 2nd Earl of Winchester, hereditary Constable of Scotland [see FERRERS 7 for her ancestry]. Her maritagium included the manors of Coston, Leicestershire and Eynesbury Berkeley, Huntingdonshire. They had four sons, Maurice, Knt. [2nd Lord Berkeley], Thomas, Knt., John, and [Master] James [Bishop of Exeter], and two daughters, Margaret and Isabel [Prioress of Buckland Priory]. In the period, c.1254-60, Robert de Ferrers granted the manor of Easton, Leicestershire to his sister, Joan de Ferrers. He was present at the Battle of Evesham in 1265. He and his wife, Joan, presented to the church of Coston, Leicestershire in 1277. He served in the first expedition against Llywelyn, Prince of Wales, in 1277, and again in the second invasion under the king in 1282. In 1284 he was ordered by the Bishop of Worcester against distraining the cattle of the tenants of the church of Cam. He was on the commission to inquire into claims to the Scottish crown in 1292. In 1292 John Tarbaud brought the Replegiare against him; Thomas avowed the taking by reason that he and his ancestors had held the hundred of Berkeley of the king in fee farm, in which hundred all those within the precinct of the hundred ought to come at two Lawdays in the year to present hue and cry. He was summoned to Parliament 24 June 1295 by writ directed Thome de Berkelegh', whereby he may be held to have become Lord Berkeley. He was employed on an embassy to France in 1296, and to Pope Clement V in 1307. He fought at the Battle of Falkirk 22 July 1298, and was present at the Siege of Caerlaverock in 1300. He signed the Barons' letter to Pope Boniface VIII in 1301 as D'n's de Berkele. In 1303, while Thomas and his son, Maurice, were with the king in Scotland, Maurice's officers seized and imprisoned a Bristol burgess named Richard Cornwall at Redcliffe on a charge of murder. The men of Bristol liberated their fellow townsman, and, according to a complaint lodged by Maurice, they made away with goods to the value of 500 marks. This resulted in open conflict with the burgesses of Bristol, in which the burgesses alleged that the Berkeleys' men beat and assaulted them, so that they were not able to venture outside the town on legitimate business. The justices appointed to deal with the case gave judgment against the Berkeleys. A heavy amercement was levied on them which was commuted for service in the Scottish war, but the liberties of the manor and hundred of Bedminster were taken into the king's hands. In 1303 he purchased the reversion of the manor of Frampton on Severn, Gloucestershire from Richard de Clifford son and heir of John de Clifford, Knt.; he subsequently conveyed the manor in 1305 to Robert Fitz Payn, 1st Lord Fitzpayn, and his wife, Isabel, for an annual rent of 22 marks. In 1306 he obtained a license to alienate in mortmain two shops in Wells, Somerset to the Prioress and sisters of Buckland Priory. He was summoned to attend the Coronation of King Edward II in 1308. He was taken prisoner at the Battle of Bannockburn 24 June 1314, paying a large sum for his ransom. His wife, Joan, died 19 March 1309/10, and was buried at St. Augustine's, Bristol. In 1321 the king directed him and 70 others to arrest those that disturb the peace and spread false reports. SIR THOMAS DE BERKELEY, 1st Lord Berkeley, died 23 July 1321.

He married (1st) before 14 May 1219 SIBYL MARSHAL, died before 1238, 3rd daughter of William Marshal, Knt., 4th Earl of Pembroke (or Strigoil), hereditary Master Marshal, by Isabel, daughter of Richard Fitz Gilbert (nicknamed "Strongbow”), 2nd Earl of Pembroke (or Strigoil) [see MARSHAL 3 for her ancestry]. They had seven daughters, Agnes, Isabel, Maud, Sibyl, Joan, Agatha (wife of Hugh de Mortimer), and Eleanor. He was afflicted from youth with gout, and habitually travelled in a chariot or litter. He accompanied the king to France in 1230. He married (2nd) in or before 1238 MARGARET (or MARGERY) DE QUINCY, daughter and co-heiress of Roger de Quincy, 2nd Earl of Winchester, by his 1st wife, Ellen, daughter and co-heiress of Alan Fitz Roland, lord of Galloway, hereditary Constable of Scotland [see QUINCY 7 for her ancestry]. They had two sons, Robert, Knt. [6th Earl of Derby], and William, Knt., and three daughters, Elizabeth, Joan, and Agnes. He had livery of Chardey Castle and the rest of his mother's lands 10 Nov. 1247. He was invested with the Earldom of Derby 2 Feb. 1247/8. In 1245 he was granted respite of forest offences because he "laboured under infirmity." He presented to the church of Brington, Northamptonshire in 1250. While passing over a bridge at St. Neots, Huntingdonshire, he was accidentally thrown from his chariot sustaining broken limb bones from which he never recovered. SIR WILLIAM DE FERRERS, 5th Earl of Derby, died at Evington, Leicestershire 24 (or 28) March 1254, and was buried at Merevale Abbey, Warwickshire. His widow, Margaret, presented to the churches of Keyston, Huntingdonshire, 1255, Irchester, Northamptonshire, 1267, and Higham Ferrers, Northamptonshire, 1268, 1275. She was co-heiress in 1264 to her father, Roger de Quincy, Knt., Earl of Winchester, by which she inherited the hereditary office of Constable of Scotland, together with the manors of Groby (in Ratby) and Thurnby, Leicestershire, Ware, Hertfordshire, Keyston and Southoe, Huntingdonshire, Chinnor, Oxfordshire, etc. In 1268-9 the Prior and convent of Lenton released the church of Irchester, Northamptonshire to Margaret de Ferrers, Countess of Derby, who in turn levied a fine of it to the use of herself and her heirs. In 1270 she resigned the office of Constable of Scotland to her brother-in-law, Alexander Comyn, Knt., Earl of Buchan. In 1270 Margaret and her sisters, Ellen and Elizabeth, gave license for the election of William de Shaldeston as Prior of the Hospital of St. James and St. John at Brackley, Northamptonshire. In 1272-3 Margaret arraigned an assize of novel disseisin against John le Fauconer, of Thurcaston, and others, touching a tenement in Groby, Leicestershire. In 1273 Philip de Fifife sued her for the next presentation to the church of Fyfield, Berkshire. In 1274-5 Ellen de Quincy and Alexander Comyn and his wife, Elizabeth, sued their sister, Margaret de Ferrers, Countess of Derby, regarding possessions in Eynesbury, Huntingdonshire. On the assignment of Quincy dower lands in 1275, Margaret was assigned a third part of the manor of Southoe Ferrers, Huntingdonshire, together with a third part of the chief messuage. In 1275-6 William de Karuill' arraigned an assize of mort d'ancestor against her touching a messuage and land in Brampton, Northamptonshire. Sometime in the period, 1275-9, she acquired the one-third share of the same manor assigned to her sister, Elizabeth Comyn, thus increasing Margaret's share to two-thirds. In 1276 Margaret had letters of protection, she then going to Scotland. In 1277-8 Alice widow of John de Kent arraigned an assize of novel disseisin against her and others touching a tenement in Chardey, Staffordshire. About 1281 Margaret de Ferrers, Countess of Derby, Ellen la Zouche, and Alexander Comyn, Earl of Buchan, and his wife, Elizabeth, sued Ranulph son of Robert de Neville and his wife, Euphame, regarding 11-1/2 virgates in Syston, Leicestershire. Margaret, Countess of Derby, died shortly before 12 March 1280/1, on which date custody of all lands late of the said Countess Margaret were granted by the king to Richard Fukeram to hold during pleasure, so that he cultivate and sow them and answer for the issues at the Exchequer. In 1282 custody of the manor of Southoe, Huntingdonshire late of Margaret, Countess of Derby, deceased was granted by the king to John de Aese, Vicomte of Tartas to hold during the minority of the heirs. The same month custody of the manor of Keyston, Huntingdonshire late of Margaret, Countess of Derby, deceased was likewise granted by the king to John de Byu.elard to hold during the minority of the heirs. In 1281 the king ratified the demise of John de Aysse, Vicomte of Tartas, to Baldwin Wake and Hawise his wife of custody of the manor of Southoe, Huntingdonshire which he had of the gift of the king by the extent of £40 2s. 8d. yearly to hold during the minority of the heirs of Margery, Countess of Derby.

| 5590 | RESEARCH_NOTES: 1. “Royal Ancestry: A Study in Colonial & Medieval Families,” Douglas Richardson (2013): "WILLIAM DE WARENNE, 3rd Earl of Surrey, son and heir, probably born in 1119. In June 1137 he was one of the nobles who deserted the army of King Stephen in Normandy. The king pursued them to Pont-Audemer, where he held William and other youths and did his best to pacify them, but did not dare make them fight. William was with his half-brother, Waleran, Count of Meulan, at Rouen 18 Dec. 1138, and at Oxford in 1139 or early in 1140. He was in the army of King Stephen at the Battle of Lincoln 2 Feb. 1140/1, but fled with his brother, Count Waleran, before the enemy's opening charge. However, the brothers soon rallied to the queen during the king's captivity and were with her in London about June 1141. After King Stephen's release in Nov. 1141, he witnessed royal charters at Canterbury at Christmas 1141 and at Ipswich in early 1142. He married ELA (or ALA) OF PONTHIEU, daughter of Guillaume III Talvas, Count of Ponthieu and Alençon, by Ela, daughter of Eudes I Borel, Duke of Burgundy. They had one daughter, Isabel. He took the cross on Palm Sunday 24 March 1145/6, and subsequently accompanied King Louis VIII of France on crusade in June 1147. WILLIAM DE WARENNE, 3rd Earl of Surrey, died 19 Jan. 1147/8, being slain when the rearguard of the French king's army was cut to pieces in Laodicea. About 1150 Theobald, Archbishop of Canterbury, remonstrated with his widow, Ela, for detaining from the monks of Lewes Priory the tithes of her dower lands. She married (2nd) probably in or before 1152 (as his 2nd wife) PATRICK OF SALISBURY (otherwise known as PATRICK FITZ WALTER), 1st Earl of Salisbury [see LONGESPEE 3], hereditary Sheriff of Wiltshire, Steward of the Household to Empress Maud, son and heir of Walter of Salisbury (also known as Walter Fitz Edward), of Chitteme, Wiltshire, Great Gaddesden, Hertfordshire, North Aston, Oxfordshire, etc., hereditary Sheriff of Wiltshire, Constable of Salisbury Castle, by Sibyl, daughter of Patrick de Chaources (or Sourches) [see LONGESPEE 2 for his ancestry]. They had four sons, William [2nd Earl of Salisbury], Patrick [Canon of Bradenstoke], Philip [Canon of Bradenstoke], and Roger. He was created Earl of Salisbury (or Wiltshire) about 1143; he occurs once as Earl of Wiltshire in the period, 1111 50. He witnessed a charter of Henry d'Oilly in the period, 1144-47.

He was born about 1046. They had three sons, Waleran (or Galeran) [II] [Count of Meulan, Earl of Worcester], Robert, Knt. [1st Earl of Leicester], and Hugh [said to be Earl of Bedford], and five daughters, including Adeline (wife of Hugues IV, seigneur of Montfort-sur-Risle), Aubrey (wife of Hugues II, seigneur of Châteauneuf), Maud, and Isabel (or Elizabeth). When he was very young, he accompanied William, Duke of Normandy [future King William], to England and distinguished himself at the Battle of Hastings in 1066. He subsequently received large grants of land in Warwickshire, with smaller holdings in Leicestershire, Northamptonshire, and Wiltshire. Sometime in the period, 1066-77, Robert and his father, Roger, attested a royal confirmation for St.-Etienne, Caen. As "Robert de Beaumont," he witnessed a charter of Eudes, Bishop of Bayeux [half-brother of King William the Conqueror] dated probably in 1079. In 1080 he and his father were present at the king's court in Normandy. Robert became Count of Meulan about autumn 1080, following the death of his maternal uncle, Hugues II, Count of Meulan. As "Robert, Count of Meulan," he attested a charter of King Philippe I of France dated 6 Jan. 1082 following the Christmas court of King Philippe I in 1081. He was back at the Norman ducal court on 5 Sept. 1082, where he joined his father and brother as witnesses to a suit adjudicated in the presence of King William the Conqueror. About 1088 he quarreled with Duke Robert of Normandy about the castellanship of Brionne, in consequence of the exchange of Brionne for Ivry made by his father. He was present at the ducal court in 1087, 1088, 1089, 1091, and on three further occasions during the early 1090s. In 1097, when King William Rufus invaded France, he admitted him to his castle of Meulan. He was present at the king's death in 1100. On the accession of King Henry I, he supported Henry in the general rising which followed and became his trusted counsellor. On the death of Ives de Grandmesnil on Crusade, he retained his estates, which Ives had mortgaged to him about 1102. Thereby he acquired one-quarter of the town of Leicester, the whole of which was later granted to him by the king. After obtaining the whole town of Leicester, he is said to have become Earl of Leicester, but being already Count of Meulan, he was never so styled. In 1103 he was dispatched by King Henry on a mission to Normandy. The same year he betrothed his infant daughter to Amaury, youngest son of Simon de Montfort, as part of a treaty to end conflicts amongst the "warlike marchers." In 1104 he was one of the Norman barons who adhered to King Henry on his arrival in Normandy. He was present in the king's army at the Battle of Tenchebrai in 1106. In 1110 he was besieged at Meulan by King Louis VI, who took the castle by storm. In the following year he retaliated by a raid on Paris, which he plundered. In 1112 he gave the manor of Chisenbury, Wiltshire for the kitchen of the monks of Bec Abbey. ROBERT OF MEULAN, Count of Meulan, died 5 June 1118, and was buried in the chapter-house of the Abbey of St.-Pierre, Preaux. His widow, Isabel, married (2nd) WILLIAM DE WARENNE, 2nd Earl of Surrey (usually styled Earl of Warenne), son and heir of William de Warenne, 1st Earl of Surrey, by his 1st wife, Gundred, sister of Gerbod the Fleming, Earl of Chester. They had three sons, William [3rd Earl of Surrey], Ralph, and Reynold, and two daughters, Ada and Gundred. In 1090 he was among those fighting in Normandy against Robert de Belleme who was supported by Duke Robert. He witnessed three charters of the king at Windsor in Sept. 1101. In autumn 1101 he accompanied Duke Robert to Normandy, supporting him against the king, and was deprived of his inheritance in England. In 1103, however, as a result of the duke's intercession, he was restored to the earldom of Surrey by the king. In 1106 he accompanied the king to Normandy, and commanded a division of his army at the Battle of Tinchebrai. In 1109 he was present at a council held at Nottingham. In 1110 he was with the king at Dover, becoming a surety for the performance of the treaty with Robert, Count of Flanders. In 1111 he was one of the optimates who acted in a judicial capacity in a plea in Normandy; about that time he was given the castle of Saint-Saens by the king, which had been forfeited by Elias de Saint-Saens. In 1119 he commanded a division at the Battle of Brémule. In 1131 he was present a the council at Northampton. He was one of the earls present at the death of King Henry I 1 Dec. 1135. The same month he was given the administration of the region of Rouen and the pays de Caux. He was present at the court of King Stephen at Easter 1136. William de Warenne, 2nd Earl of Surrey, died 11 May 1138, and was buried at his father's feet in the chapter-house at Lewes, Sussex. His widow, Isabel, was living c.1138. She died 13 (or 17) February, sometime before June 1147, when her son, William de Warenne, 3rd Earl of Surrey, left on crusade. (* The latest datable document that Robert attests as "Robert de Beaumont" is a charter of King William the Conqueror for Lessay dated 14 July 1080. Robert acquired the county of Meulan shortly thereafter and thenceforth always attested with his comital title [see Vaughn Anselm of Bec & Robert of Meulan (1987): 88].

In June 1137 he was one of the nobles who deserted the army of King Stephen in Normandy. The king pursued them to Pont-Audemer, where he held William and other youths and did his best to pacify them, but did not dare make them fight. William was with his half-brother, Waleran, Count of Meulan, at Rouen 18 Dec. 1138, and at Oxford in 1139 or early in 1140. He was in the army of King Stephen at the Battle of Lincoln 2 Feb. 1140/1, but fled with his brother, Count Waleran, before the enemy's opening charge. However, the brothers soon rallied to the queen during the king's captivity and were with her in London about June 1141. After King Stephen's release in Nov. 1141, he witnessed royal charters at Canterbury at Christmas 1141 and at Ipswich in early 1142. He married ELA (or ALA) OF PONTHIEU, daughter of Guillaume III Talvas, Count of Ponthieu and Alençon, by Ela, daughter of Eudes I Borel, Duke of Burgundy. They had one daughter, Isabel. He took the cross on Palm Sunday 24 March 1145/6, and subsequently accompanied King Louis VIII of France on crusade in June 1147. WILLIAM DE WARENNE, 3rd Earl of Surrey, died 19 Jan. 1147/8, being slain when the rearguard of the French king's army was cut to pieces in Laodicea. About 1150 Theobald, Archbishop of Canterbury, remonstrated with his widow, Ela, for detaining from the monks of Lewes Priory the tithes of her dower lands. She married (2nd) probably in or before 1152 (as his 2nd wife) PATRICK OF SALISBURY (otherwise known as PATRICK FITZ WALTER), 1st Earl of Salisbury [see LONGESPEE 3], hereditary Sheriff of Wiltshire, Steward of the Household to Empress Maud, son and heir of Walter of Salisbury (also known as Walter Fitz Edward), of Chitteme, Wiltshire, Great Gaddesden, Hertfordshire, North Aston, Oxfordshire, etc., hereditary Sheriff of Wiltshire, Constable of Salisbury Castle, by Sibyl, daughter of Patrick de Chaources (or Sourches) [see LONGESPEE 2 for his ancestry]. They had four sons, William [2nd Earl of Salisbury], Patrick [Canon of Bradenstoke], Philip [Canon of Bradenstoke], and Roger. He was created Earl of Salisbury (or Wiltshire) about 1143; he occurs once as Earl of Wiltshire in the period, 1111 50. He witnessed a charter of Henry d'Oilly in the period, 1144-47. Sometime before 1148 he witnessed a charter of Roger Fitz Humphrey to the Templars. In 1153 he witnessed the treaty between King Stephen and Henry, Duke of Normandy [future King Henry II]. After the accession of King Henry II, he continued to act as Sheriff and was frequently at Court. He witnessed a charter of his brother-in-law, John Marshal, to the Templars in 1155-6. At an unknown date, he gave Bradenstoke Priory the church of Wilcot, with its dependent chapel at Draycot Fitz Payne, as well as a portion of the manor of Wilcot, Wiltshire. He also exchanged the property in Wilsford, Wiltshire given by his father, for the rest of the manor of Wilcot, Wiltshire, and also gave a salt pit in Canford, Dorset. His wife, Countess Ela, gave the same priory land and rents in Hatherop, Gloucestershire worth 100s. yearly. In 1167 he accompanied King Henry II to Poitou, where the king assigned him to protect his queen, Eleanor of Aquitaine. PATRICK, Earl of Salisbury was slain about 7 April 1168 by Poitevin nobles while riding near the castle of Lusigan in Poitou with Queen Eleanor. He was buried in the Abbey of St. Hilaire in Poitiers. Queen Eleanor and her son, Richard, subsequently founded an anniversary at St.-Hilaire for their salvation and for the soul of Earl Patrick "who died in our service." His widow, Ela, Countess of Salisbury, died 10 Dec. 1174.

He was born about 1046. They had three sons, Waleran (or Galeran) [II] [Count of Meulan, Earl of Worcester], Robert, Knt. [1st Earl of Leicester], and Hugh [said to be Earl of Bedford], and five daughters, including Adeline (wife of Hugues IV, seigneur of Montfort-sur-Risle), Aubrey (wife of Hugues II, seigneur of Châteauneuf), Maud, and Isabel (or Elizabeth). When he was very young, he accompanied William, Duke of Normandy [future King William], to England and distinguished himself at the Battle of Hastings in 1066. He subsequently received large grants of land in Warwickshire, with smaller holdings in Leicestershire, Northamptonshire, and Wiltshire. Sometime in the period, 1066-77, Robert and his father, Roger, attested a royal confirmation for St.-Etienne, Caen. As "Robert de Beaumont," he witnessed a charter of Eudes, Bishop of Bayeux [half-brother of King William the Conqueror] dated probably in 1079. In 1080 he and his father were present at the king's court in Normandy. Robert became Count of Meulan about autumn 1080, following the death of his maternal uncle, Hugues II, Count of Meulan. As "Robert, Count of Meulan," he attested a charter of King Philippe I of France dated 6 Jan. 1082 following the Christmas court of King Philippe I in 1081. He was back at the Norman ducal court on 5 Sept. 1082, where he joined his father and brother as witnesses to a suit adjudicated in the presence of King William the Conqueror. About 1088 he quarreled with Duke Robert of Normandy about the castellanship of Brionne, in consequence of the exchange of Brionne for Ivry made by his father. He was present at the ducal court in 1087, 1088, 1089, 1091, and on three further occasions during the early 1090s. In 1097, when King William Rufus invaded France, he admitted him to his castle of Meulan. He was present at the king's death in 1100. On the accession of King Henry I, he supported Henry in the general rising which followed and became his trusted counsellor. On the death of Ives de Grandmesnil on Crusade, he retained his estates, which Ives had mortgaged to him about 1102. Thereby he acquired one-quarter of the town of Leicester, the whole of which was later granted to him by the king. After obtaining the whole town of Leicester, he is said to have become Earl of Leicester, but being already Count of Meulan, he was never so styled. In 1103 he was dispatched by King Henry on a mission to Normandy. The same year he betrothed his infant daughter to Amaury, youngest son of Simon de Montfort, as part of a treaty to end conflicts amongst the "warlike marchers." In 1104 he was one of the Norman barons who adhered to King Henry on his arrival in Normandy. He was present in the king's army at the Battle of Tenchebrai in 1106. In 1110 he was besieged at Meulan by King Louis VI, who took the castle by storm. In the following year he retaliated by a raid on Paris, which he plundered. In 1112 he gave the manor of Chisenbury, Wiltshire for the kitchen of the monks of Bec Abbey. ROBERT OF MEULAN, Count of Meulan, died 5 June 1118, and was buried in the chapter-house of the Abbey of St.-Pierre, Preaux. His widow, Isabel, married (2nd) WILLIAM DE WARENNE, 2nd Earl of Surrey (usually styled Earl of Warenne), son and heir of William de Warenne, 1st Earl of Surrey, by his 1st wife, Gundred, sister of Gerbod the Fleming, Earl of Chester. They had three sons, William [3rd Earl of Surrey], Ralph, and Reynold, and two daughters, Ada and Gundred. In 1090 he was among those fighting in Normandy against Robert de Belleme who was supported by Duke Robert. He witnessed three charters of the king at Windsor in Sept. 1101. In autumn 1101 he accompanied Duke Robert to Normandy, supporting him against the king, and was deprived of his inheritance in England. In 1103, however, as a result of the duke's intercession, he was restored to the earldom of Surrey by the king. In 1106 he accompanied the king to Normandy, and commanded a division of his army at the Battle of Tinchebrai. In 1109 he was present at a council held at Nottingham. In 1110 he was with the king at Dover, becoming a surety for the performance of the treaty with Robert, Count of Flanders. In 1111 he was one of the optimates who acted in a judicial capacity in a plea in Normandy; about that time he was given the castle of Saint-Saens by the king, which had been forfeited by Elias de Saint-Saens. In 1119 he commanded a division at the Battle of Brémule. In 1131 he was present a the council at Northampton. He was one of the earls present at the death of King Henry I 1 Dec. 1135. The same month he was given the administration of the region of Rouen and the pays de Caux. He was present at the court of King Stephen at Easter 1136. William de Warenne, 2nd Earl of Surrey, died 11 May 1138, and was buried at his father's feet in the chapter-house at Lewes, Sussex. His widow, Isabel, was living c.1138. She died 13 (or 17) February, sometime before June 1147, when her son, William de Warenne, 3rd Earl of Surrey, left on crusade. (* The latest datable document that Robert attests as "Robert de Beaumont" is a charter of King William the Conqueror for Lessay dated 14 July 1080. Robert acquired the county of Meulan shortly thereafter and thenceforth always attested with his comital title [see Vaughn Anselm of Bec & Robert of Meulan (1987): 88].

He married c.1323 (date of fine) ELIZABETH BOTETOURT, daughter of John Botetourt, Knt., 1st Lord Botetourt, by Maud, daughter of Thomas Fitz Otes, Knt. [see BOTETOURT 8 for her ancestry]. Her maritagium evidently included the manor of Great Carbrooke, Norfolk. They had three sons, William, K.G.

He was summoned to Parliament from 7 August 1327 to 1 April 1335, by writs directed Willelmo le Latymer. In 1328 her mother, Maud Botetourt, obtained a license to convey to William and Elizabeth his wife her share of the barony of Bedford, Bedfordshire, including the manors of Bromham, Cardington, Dilwick, Renhold, and Wootton, Bedfordshire. In 1329 William was pardoned for having previously purchased without license the hereditary office of coiner of the Mint from his late mother-in-law, Maud Botetourt. In 1330 the king granted the manor of Isenharnpstead (in Chesharn), Buckinghamshire to William and his wife, Elizabeth, which manor had formerly been given to William and Elizabeth by her mother, Maud, from her inheritance. In 1335 he complained that Thomas de la Grove broke his park at Isenharnpstead Chesharn), Buckingharnpshire, hunted and carried away his deer, and committed other trespasses. WILLIAM LATIMER, 3rd Lord Latimer, died shortly before 2 Nov. 1335. He was still unburied 10 Dec. 1335, when the king ordered that 500 marks of his goods be delivered to his widow, Elizabeth, and other executors.

They had no issue. In 1340 he was taken prisoner at the Siege of Lisle, and sent in irons to Paris. He was subsequently distinguished at the Siege of Lochrnaben Castle in 1341. He was summoned to Parliament 25 Feb. 1341/2, by writ directed Roberto de Ufford, le fitz. In 1343 he acknowledged that he owed a debt of 100 marks to William de Clinton, Earl of Huntingdon, to be levied, in default of payment, of his lands and chattels in co. Suffolk. He nominated attorneys going beyond seas 10 July 1344. ROBERT DE UFFORD, Lord Ufford, was living in October 1344, and died sometime before 19 June 1362. In 1346 Elizabeth was ordered to provide six men-at-arms and 12 archers for the Siege of Calais. In 1352 she exchanged the manor of Cardington, Bedfordshire for the manor of Renhold, Bedfordshire with her cousin, John Picot, Knt. She presented to the church of Corby, Northamptonshire in 1365 and 1368. In 1373-4 she and six others, presumably her feoffees, were granted permission to grant land in Bedford to the Prior and convent of Newnham, Bedfordshire.

They had one son, John, Knt. Sometime after 1240 he released a messuage in Thorne and Baine, Yorkshire to his half-brother, John de Warenne, Earl of Surrey, which messuage he evidently had by gift of his mother. In 1248 he carried his mother's body to Tintern Abbey, Monmouthshire for burial. In 1259 he was fined 40 marks by the king for a hunting transgression.

In 1215 he and his father joined the confederacy of the barons against the king. Both father and son were selected to be one of the twenty-five barons elected to guarantee the observance of Magna Carta, signed by King John 15 June 1215. In consequence, Hugh and his father were among the barons excommunicated by Pope Innocent III 16 Dec. 1215. He made homage for the Earldom of Norfolk 2 August 1221. In the period, 1221-5, he granted the homage and service of Hervey the baker and the tenement he held in Heveningharn, Suffolk to Sibton Abbey, Suffolk. In the same period, he granted the manor of Stockton, Norfolk to Hamo Lenveise. In the same period, he granted land in Mettingham, Suffolk to John Fitz Augustine.

In 1227 he joined the Earl of Cornwall at Stamford in his revolt against the king, but at Christmas was with the king at York. In 1229 he was about the make a voyage on the king's service. He was heir in 1234 to his sister, Isabel de Warenne, widow of Gilbert de l'Aigle. In 1236 he acted as Butler at the Coronation of Queen Eleanor of Provence, in place of his son-in-law, Hugh, Earl of Arundel. In 1238 he was cited to appear before Robert Grosseteste, Bishop of Lincoln, because mass has been celebrated in the earl's hall at Grantham, Lincolnshire. SIR WILLIAM DE WARENNE, 6th Earl of Surrey, died testate in London 27 May 1240, and was buried in the priory church of Lewes, Sussex.

He may have been the unnamed son of Hugh le Bigod who was held hostage by King John during the civil war of 1215-17, and whose capture perhaps occurred when Framlingham was surrendered to royalist forces in March 1216. He married at Alnwick, Northumberland 1 June 1225 ISABEL OF SCOTLAND, daughter of William the Lion, King of Scots, by Ermengarde, daughter of Richard de Beaumont, Vicomte of Beaumont [see SCOTLAND 4 for her ancestry]. They had no issue. While still under age, he entered into his inheritance in 1228. He was knighted by King Henry III at Gloucester in 1233. He unsuccessfully disputed Simon de Montfort's claim to the Stewardship at the Coronation of Queen Eleanor. In 1242 he served the king in the early part of the disastrous campaign in Poitou. In 1245 he was chief of the English delegation to the Council of Lyons, and chief of the plenipotentiarires to treat of peace between the Emperor and the Pope. The same year he repudiated his wife, nominally on the ground of consanguinity. He was compelled by ecclesiastical sentence to take her back in 1253. The king confirmed his mother's commission of the marshalcy to him in 1246. In 1253 he witnessed a sentence of excommunication and anathema against violators of the liberties of the church and of the realm. In 1254 he brought over the king's message to the Grand Council for a supply of money. In 1257 he was member of an abortive embassy to France to demand certain rights. In 1258 he served as one of the ambassadors to attend the conference at Cambray. His wife, Isabel, appears to have been living in Gloucestershire in October 1263. Her exact date of death is unknown, but she was buried in the Black Friars, London. In 1270 he wrote the king asking him to allow Roger, son of his brother Hugh, to be his attorney as Marshal.

He had livery of his lands in 1190-91. Before the return of King Richard I from captivity to England, he supported the Justiciar against John, Count of Mortain, and, with the Earl of Chester, he besieged Nottingham Castle. He took part in the second Coronation of King Richard I, which was solemnized in Winchester Cathedral 17 April 1194. He was present at the Coronation of King John 27 May 1199. On 7 June 1199 the king restored and confirmed to him the third penny of Derby, and with his own hand girded him with the sword as an Earl. In 1213 he witnessed the king's surrender of the kingdom to Pope Innocent III. He was a witness to the last will of King John in 1216, and appointed one of its managers and disposers. He was present at the Coronation of King Henry III 28 October 1216. On 30 October following, the king granted him the Castles of Peak and Bolsover, Derbyshire, and, on 16 Jan. 1216/17, he was granted the manor of Melbourne, Derbyshire to hold until the king was 14 years of age. He assisted the Regent to raise the Siege of Lincoln Castle 20 May 1217, and, with his brother-in-law, Ranulph, Earl of Chester, he commanded the royal forces which razed Montsorel Castle. In June 1218 he went on Crusade. In 1225 he witnessed the third great charter of King Henry III. He was heir c.1226/7 to his younger brother, Robert de Ferrers. He accompanied the king in the expedition to Brittany and Poitou in 1230. In 1230 the king pardoned him up to 100 marks of the £170 which were exacted from him for the debts of his uncle, Robert de Ferrers. He was present at the Council of London Feb. 1231/2. His wife, Agnes, was co-heiress in 1232 to her brother, Ranulph, Earl of Chester and Lincoln, by which she inherited the Castle and manor of Chartley, Staffordshire, the Castle and vill of West Derby, Lancashire, and the borough of Liverpool, Lancashire, together with all the lands which Earl Ranulph had held between Ribble and Mersey (including the fiefs of Manchester, Widnes, Warrington, Tottington and Croston, Makerfield and Sefton, Lancashire), and the vills of Bugbrooke, Northamptonshire and Navenby, Lincolnshire. In 1236 he and his wife, Agnes, quitclaimed the advowson of the church of Bolton, Lancashire to Herbert, Prior of Mattersey. He presented to the churches of Brington, Northamptonshire, 1237, and Higham Ferrers, Northamptonshire, 1238. In 1241 Stephen de Meverel sued William de Ferrers, Earl of Derby, and Agnes his wife regarding the advowson of Gatton, Staffordshire; William and Agnes appeared by attorney, and stated that the advowson formed part of the inheritance of Agnes, which fell to her by the death of Ranulph, Earl of Chester, and that they could not answer without their co-parceners. In 1244 he was summoned for military service against the Scots. At an unknown date, he granted 24 acres in his Forest of Needwood to Robert son of Thomas of the Cross. At an unknown date, he granted 19 acres in the manor of Horecross (in Yoxall), Staffordshire to Bartholomew Andwinckle.

He took part in the second Coronation of King Richard I, which was solemnized in Winchester Cathedral 17 April 1194. He was present at the Coronation of King John 27 May 1199. On 7 June 1199 the king restored and confirmed to him the third penny of Derby, and with his own hand girded him with the sword as an Earl. In 1213 he witnessed the king's surrender of the kingdom to Pope Innocent III. He was a witness to the last will of King John in 1216, and appointed one of its managers and disposers. He was present at the Coronation of King Henry III 28 October 1216. On 30 October following, the king granted him the Castles of Peak and Bolsover, Derbyshire, and, on 16 Jan. 1216/17, he was granted the manor of Melbourne, Derbyshire to hold until the king was 14 years of age. He assisted the Regent to raise the Siege of Lincoln Castle 20 May 1217, and, with his brother-in-law, Ranulph, Earl of Chester, he commanded the royal forces which razed Montsorel Castle. In June 1218 he went on Crusade. In 1225 he witnessed the third great charter of King Henry III. He was heir c.1226/7 to his younger brother, Robert de Ferrers. He accompanied the king in the expedition to Brittany and Poitou in 1230. In 1230 the king pardoned him up to 100 marks of the £170 which were exacted from him for the debts of his uncle, Robert de Ferrers. He was present at the Council of London Feb. 1231/2. His wife, Agnes, was co-heiress in 1232 to her brother, Ranulph, Earl of Chester and Lincoln, by which she inherited the Castle and manor of Chartley, Staffordshire, the Castle and vill of West Derby, Lancashire, and the borough of Liverpool, Lancashire, together with all the lands which Earl Ranulph had held between Ribble and Mersey (including the fiefs of Manchester, Widnes, Warrington, Tottington and Croston, Makerfield and Sefton, Lancashire), and the vills of Bugbrooke, Northamptonshire and Navenby, Lincolnshire.

He presented to the churches of Brington, Northamptonshire, 1237, and Higham Ferrers, Northamptonshire, 1238. In 1241 Stephen de Meverel sued William de Ferrers, Earl of Derby, and Agnes his wife regarding the advowson of Gatton, Staffordshire; William and Agnes appeared by attorney, and stated that the advowson formed part of the inheritance of Agnes, which fell to her by the death of Ranulph, Earl of Chester, and that they could not answer without their co-parceners. In 1244 he was summoned for military service against the Scots. At an unknown date, he granted 24 acres in his Forest of Needwood to Robert son of Thomas of the Cross.

He was born about 1293 (proved his age in 1314). They had two sons, John, Knt. [Lord Saint Philibert], and Thomas, and three daughters, Maud, Alice, and Margaret (or Margery). In 1318 he went on a pilgrimage to Santiago. He was on service overseas under Thomas of Brotherton, Earl of Norfolk in 1320. In 1322 her parents, John Botetourt and his wife, Maud, conveyed the manor of Chignal Smealey, Essex to him and his wife, Ada, and the heirs of John. He fought in Gascony in 1325 and 1331. SIR JOHN DE SAINT PHILIBERT died testate shortly before 22 Feb. 1333 in Gascony. On 8 July 1342 the king permitted his widow, Ada, to have respite until Easter next for her homage, which she owed for the lands which her late husband, John, held in chief. In August 1342 Ada, widow of John de Saint Philibert, Knt., John de la Grave, and Peter Pyrpond acknowledged that they owed Gilbert Talbot, Knt., 500 marks, to be levied, in default of payment, of their lands and chattels in Essex. She was granted a papal indult for plenary remission 20 July 1343. Ada married (2nd) before Hilary term 1344-5 (date of lawsuit) RICHARD FITZSIMON, K.G., of Dunmow, Essex, Bawsey and Pensthorpe, Norfolk, etc., son and heir of Simon Fitz Richard, of Dunmow, Essex, Pensthorpe, Norfolk, etc., by Nichole, daughter of William de Boville, Knt.* He attended the 2nd Dunstable Tournament in 1334. In 1338 he was on the king's service under the command of Reynold Cobham, Knt. In Michaelmas term 1340 Robert de Staunton sued Ada, formerly the wife of John de Saint Philibert, regarding a messuage and four carucates of land, excepting two virgates, in Thorineyton, Gloucestershire; Ada stated she held the tenements in question for her life of the inheritance of John, son and heir of John de Saint Philibert, and the reversion of them after her death belonged to him, and she could not answer without him, and that the said John was under age and in the custody of the king; the suit was to remain till the full age of the said John. In 1340 William Carbonel and Margery his wife desired a writ to summon Nichole, wife of Thomas de Hindringham, and Richard Fitz Simon her son regarding the manors of Bawsey, Glosthorp, and Badingham, Norfolk; Richard brought the king's protection, he being then to sail with the king to foreign parts. In 1341-2 Richard conveyed his right in the manor and the advowson of the church of Wilby, Suffolk to William Carbonel; William Carbonel and his wife Margaret in turn conveyed their rights in the manors of Bawsey and Glosthorp, Norfolk to him. In 1344-5 Richard sued Robert de Marney, Knt., regarding the taking of 10 cows and 100 sheep in Leigh, Essex. In 1345 he had letters of protection to pass beyond sea in the retinue of Henry, Earl of Derby. The same year he witnessed a release of Walter Pavely, Knt., to Sir Adam de Saint Philibert and Richard le Forester. In 1345 John Gernon, Knt. sued Ada, widow of John de Saint Philibert regarding a presentation to Leighs Priory, Essex. In May-June 1346 he was granted letters of protection until Christmas next. In 1346 he served in the king's expedition to France under Robert de Ufford, Earl of Suffolk. In 1347 he was still employed on the continent, and, in 1348, he was serving under Edward the Black Prince. SIR RICHARD FITZ SIMON was living 28 May 1348, when he and others conveyed the manor and advowson of Litcham, Norfolk to Richard de Rugham. His wife, Ada, died shortly before 31 May-2 June 1349.

She married before June 1282 JOHN BOTETOURT (or BUTETURTE, BOUTECOURTE, BOTECOURT, BUTECOURT), Knt., of Little Effingham and Upton, Norfolk, Great Bradley, Suffolk, etc., and, in right of his wife, of Mendlesham, Suffolk, Bromham, Cardington, Dilewick, Renhold, and Wootton, Bedfordshire, Linslade, Buckinghamshire, Hamerton, Huntingdonshire, Shelsley Beauchamp, Worcestershire, etc., Admiral of the North Fleet, Warden of the Forest of Dean and Constable of St. Briayels Castle, 1291-1308, Governor of Framlingham Castle, son and heir of Guy Botetourt, Knt., of Little Effingham, Cantley, Cranworth, Fishley, Kimberley, Upton, and Woodrising, Norfolk, by his wife, Ada. They had four sons, Thomas, Knt., John, K.B., Otes, Knt., and Robert, and three daughters, Joan, Ada, and Elizabeth. He began his household career as a falconer in the 1270s. He first campaigned in Wales in 1282 as a squire of the household. His wife, Maud, was co-heiress in 1283 to her brother, Otes Fitz Thomas, and sole heiress in 1285 to her sister, Joan, wife of Guy Ferre, by which she inherited the hereditary office of coiner of the Mint, together with the manors of Mendlesham, Suffolk, Belchamp Otton, Gestingthorpe, and Gosfield, Essex, Woodmancote, Gloucestershire, Hamerton, Huntingdonshire, Shelsley Beauchamp, Worcestershire, and a one-third share of the barony of Bedford, Bedfordshire. In 1286 he claimed view of frankpledge and free warren in Hamerton, Huntingdonshire. Sometime in the period, 1291-1302, Maud was heiress to her cousin, Joan, daughter of Hugh Fitz Otes, Knt., by which she inherited the manor of Isetthampstead (in Chesham), Buckinghamshire. In 1292-3 he was a justice of gaol delivery in Warwickshire and Leicestershire. In 1293 he and his wife Maud his wife quitclaimed to the Abbot of Colchester their right to the advowson of the church of Hamerton, Huntingdonshire. In 1294 when the king faced the threat of French galleys raiding the south coast of England, he appointed two household knights, William de Leyboume and John Botetourt as captain and sub-captain of the fleet. In the following year they were described as admirals - the first use of the term in England. In 1296 he commanded 94 ships taken from ports between Harwich and King's Lynn, the great majority from Yarmouth. In 1298 and 1299 he served on four commissions of oyer and terminer. In 1298 he had letters of protection for one year, he then going to Scotland. He was accompanied in that campaign by his younger brother, Guy Botetourt, and his valet, William Botetourt. In 1300 he complained William de Wolcherchehaw, taverner, beat one of his carters and did "other enormities;" the defendant came into court and pledged a cask of wine to him. He was present at the Siege of Caerlaverock in 1300; the metrical chronicler of that siege described him as "light of heart and doing good to all." The same year he was appointed one of three commissioners to inquire into cases of exportation of sterling money, gold and silver, plate, wool, etc., and the exchange of the same for base coin which was imported into England and unlawfully changed. He signed the Barons' letter to Pope Boniface VIII in 1301. In 1304 he led a raid into Nithsdale with 130 cavalry and 1,770 infantry. The same year the king ordered him to assist Robert de Brus, then on the English side, in transporting one great engine in preparation of the siege train for the siege of Stirling in Scotland. He was summoned to Parliament from 13 July 1305 to 13 Sept. 1324, by writs directed Jobanni Botetourt, whereby he may be held to have become Lord Botetourt. In 1305 he was appointed one of the justices of trailbaston. The same year he was sent to treat with the Scots on the affairs of that kingdom. In 1306 he enrolled himself as performing the service of one knight in Scotland, but in fact he had a contingent of three knights and eleven squires with him. In 1307 he again commanded a raid against the Scots. Sometime before 1309-10, he and his wife, Maud, conveyed land in Linslade, Buckinghamshire to William Rous. In 1309-10 William Fitz Walter conveyed the manor of Great Bradley, Suffolk to him and his wife, Maud. In 1310 he obtained a license to alienate lands and rents in Mendlesham, Suffolk in mot twain to the value of 100s. for a chaplain to celebrate in Mendlesham church. In 1311 he and his wife, Maud, were granted the reversion of the manors of Fulbourn, Cambridgeshire and Great Carbrooke, Norfolk by Baldwin de Manners, Knt., who died childless in 1320. John sold the former manor to William la Zouche Mortimer, Knt., Lord Zouche, and Alice his wife in 1323; the latter manor was held in 1327 by John Botetourt's son-in-law, William le Latimer. In 1312 John Botetourt and several others were granted letters of safe-conduct by the king to confer in London with Arnold, Cardinal of St. Prisca, and Louis, Count of Evreux, who were sent to help effect a reconciliation between King Edward II and the disaffected earls. In 1314 he commanded the fleet employed in the expedition against Scotland. The same year Peter de Burgate, Knt., released all his right in the manor of Mendlesham, Suffolk to him and his wife, Maud. In 1315 he complained that those recruited for his company were "feeble chaps, not strong enough, not properly dressed, and lacking bows and arrows." In 1316 he presented his brother, Master Roger Botetourt, as rector of Great Bradley, Suffolk. In 1318 he again presented to the church of Great Bradley, Suffolk. The same year he and his wife, Maud, complained that Richard, Abbot of St. Edmunds, William de Cleye, and many others came to Tivetshall, Norfolk, where Maud and some of the servants of the said John were lodged, maliciously raised a hue and cry against them, expelled the said Maud and the servants from the inn, carried away the goods of the said John, and assaulted the said servants. Either he or his grandson, John Botetourt, was heir sometime after 1318-19 to his brother, William Botetourt, by which he inherited the manor of Cantley, Norfolk. In 1319 he and his wife, Maud, sold the manor of Woodmancote, Gloucestershire to Robert de Swynburn. In 1320 he obtained a license to alienate one acre of land in Fishley, Norfolk, together with the advowson of a moiety of the church of Fishley, Norfolk, to the Prior and Convent of St. Mary's, Weybridge, and for them to appropriate the said moiety, to find a chaplain to celebrate divine services for the soul of the said John and the souls of his ancestors. In 1321 he and his wife, Maud, sold the manor of Shelsley Beauchamp, Worcestershire to John de Wysham, Knt., and his wife, Hawise de Poynings; in 1322-3 he conveyed the manor and advowson of the church of Little Effingham, Norfolk to the same couple. John joined the rebellion of Thomas, Earl of Lancaster, and fought at the Battle of Boroughbridge 16 March 1321/2. He was subsequently fined £1000, and received a pardon 8 October 1322. In 1323 he and his wife, Maud, conveyed the manor of Isenhampstead Chesham), Buckinghamshire to Hugh le Despenser the younger, but, on Hugh's execution and attainder in 1326, the manor escheated to the crown and custody was re-granted to Maud Botetourt. In 1323-4 they made a settlement of the manor of Great Carbrooke, Norfolk, evidently in connection with the marriage of their daughter, Elizabeth, to William le Latimer, as William was lord of this manor in 1327. In 1324 John paid the Italian bankers, the Peruzzi, 100 marks, evidently in payment of a debt he owed to Hugh le Despenser the younger. SIR JOHN BOTETOURT, 1st Lord Botetourt, died 25 Nov. 1324. In 1325 his widow, Maud, sued Andrew de Bures, Robert de Bures and his wife, Hillary, and John de Wysham and his wife, Hawise, for one third part of the manor of Little Effingham, Norfolk, which she claimed as her dower. In 1327 she likewise sued Robert son of John Botetourt, John de Wynchestre and others regarding unspecified land in Suffolk. In 1328 she obtained a license to enfeoff Master William Artoys of a messuage and land in Renhold, Bedfordshire. On 12 Nov. 1328 she obtained a license to convey to her daughter and son-in-law, Elizabeth and William le Latimer, her share of the barony of Bedford, Bedfordshire, including the manors of Bromham, Cardington, Dilewick, Renhold, and Wootton, Bedfordshire. Maud, Lady Botetourt, died shortly before 27 Nov. 1328. In May 1329 her son-in-law, William le Latimer, was pardoned for having previously purchased from her without license the hereditary office of coiner of the Mint. In 1330 John and Maud's son, Otes Botetourt, obtained a license to alienate in mortrnain a messuage, 30 acres of land, and 30s. in rent in Mendlesham, Suffolk to a chaplain to celebrate divine services in the parish church of Mendlesham for the souls of his parents. (Note: F.N. Craig published a brilliant article entitled "The Parentage of John Botetourt (died 1324)" in TAG 63 (1988): 145-153, which article provides compelling evidence that Sir John Botetourt, 1st Lord Botetourt, is the son and heir of Sir Guy Botetourt (died c.1316), of Effingham, Norfolk, by his wife, Ada (living 1311-12). Specifically, Mr. Craig showed that Sir Guy Botetourt had the manors of Effingham (his chief seat), Uphall (in Cantley), and Upton, Norfolk, all of which passed to Sir John Botetourt, 1st Lord Botetourt, or his descendants. For additional evidence of Sir John Botetourt's parentage, see Byerly & Byerly Recs. of the Wardrobe & Household 1286-1289 (1986): 258, which mentions Robert brother of John Botetourt. This Robert appears to be the same individual as Robert son of Guy Botetourt, a priest, who occurs in 1306; a Roger son of Guy Botetourt, also a priest, is named in 1306 [see Papal Regs.: Letters 2 (1895): 15, 211. In 1294 Roger Botetourt and his brother Robert [presumably the same individuals] jointly acquired a messuage in St. Michael's parish, Cambridge in 1294 [see Cooper Mems. of Cambridge (1861): 215]. In 1306 the king gave license to Master Roger and Robert Boutetourt to enclose the lane on the south side of their dwelling-place in Cambridge [see C.P.R. 1301-4307 (1898): 435]. Master Roger later sold this property alone in 1324 as "Master Roger, the son of the noble man Sir Guy Buttetourte." [see Cooper, ibid.; Procs. Soc. of Antiquaries of London 2nd Ser. 4 (1869): 200-201; Rye Pedes Finium or Fines Rd Cambridge (1891): 90]. Master Roger is doubtless the same person as the Roger Botetourt who was rector of Little Effingham, Norfolk, which advowson was held by Sir John Botetourt, 1st Lord Botetourt, in 1317 (see Watkin Inv. of Church Goods temp. Edward III (Norfolk Rec. Soc. 19(2)) (1948): 137, 215). Robert Botetourt also served as a feoffee in 1311, when Sir Baldwin de Manners settled the reversion of two manors on Sir John Botetourt and Maud his wife [see Blomefield Essay towards a Top. Hist. of Norfolk 1 (1739): 608; Banks Baronies in Fee 2 (1843): 101 (sub Manners); Rye Pedes Finium or Fines Rel. Cambridge (1891): 891. Records further shows that Sir John Boteourt, who owned the manor of Great Bradley, Suffolk, appointed Robert Botetourt as rector at Great Bradley, Suffolk in 1311, and Master Roger Botetourt as rector of the same place in 1316. Sir John Botetourt, 1st Lord Botetourt, also had three additional brothers, Ralph Botetourt, who joined his father, Guy Botetourt, Knt., and Guy's wife, Ada, in fines dated 1296-7 and 1297-8 (see Rye Short Cal. Feet of Fines for Norfolk 1 (1885): 149, 151); Guy Botetourt, who accompanied his brother, Sir John, to Scotland in 1298 (see Gough Scotland in 1298 (1888): 22. 68, 166) and Thomas Botetourt, who in 1300 was owed a debt as "Thomas son of Guy Botetourt." (see National Archives, C241/35/295). In 1305-6 Thomas made a settlement of the manor of Cranworth, Norfolk, and property in Wood Rising, Norfolk on his parents, Guy and Ada Botetourt (see Rye Short Cal Feet of Fines for Norfolk 2 (1886): 230). In 1307 Thomas Botetourt, a subdeacon, was the pluralist rector of Tivetshall, Norfolk and Euston and Troston, Suffolk (see Blomefield Essay towards a Top. Hist. of Norfolk 1 (1739): 138; 2 (1739): 880); Tivetshall, Norfolk is the place where John Botetourt's wife, Maud, and his servants were expelled from the inn in 1318 by the Abbot of Sc. Edmunds and other men (see above). Taken together, the various pieces of evidence, the passage of lands, and the close association of these individuals make it clear that Sir John, Master Roger, Robert, Guy, Ralph, and Master Thomas Botetourt were all sons of Sir Guy Botetourt, Knt. (died c.1316), of Effingham, Norfolk, and his wife, Ada For further particulars regarding Sir Guy Botetourt (died c.1316), and his wife, Ada, see Blomefield Essay towards a Top.

For further particulars regarding Sir John Botetourt's younger brothers, Master Roger (son of Guy) Botetourt, a priest, who occurs variously from 1294 to 1330/1, holding the benefices of Thompson, Norfolk, and Great Wigston, Leicestershire, and Robert Botetourt, a priest, who occurs variously from 1286/89 to 1311, holding the benefices of Caulebourne, Hampshire and Fomcett, Norfolk, see Potts Liber Cantabtigiensis (1855): 337; Rye Short CaL of Feet of Fines for Norfolk 2 (1886): 282, Willis & Clark Architectural Hist. of the Univ. of Cambridge 1 (1886): 162; Rye Short CaL Feet of Fines for Norfolk 2 (1886): 282; C.P.R. 1321-1324 (1904): 245; Feudal Aids 3 (1904): 458; TAG 63 (1988): 153; National Archives, C 241/77/28, C 241/101/124. Finally, Mr. Craig in his Botetourt article in TAG 63 (1988): 146 (chart), 151 identified "John le Botetourt," brother of William son of Ralph de Saham, clerk, who occurs in a Norfolk pleading dated 1307 as being the same person as Sir John Botetourt, 1st Lord Botetourt; however, the person in the 1307 pleading appears to be a separate and distinct individual from Sir John Botetourt, as he was neither a knight or a baron [see Blomefield Essay towards a Top.

Prestwich Edward I (1997): 131-132 ("Edward [I] appears to have been remarkably faithful to his queens ... there is the curious inclusion of John Botetourt in a genealogical table in a Hailes Abbey chronicle. His name appears to be written over an erasure, and there is nothing in Botetourt's career to suggest that he was an illegitimate son of the king. He first appeared in royal service as a falconer, but rose to high rank, becoming a banneret in 1298. He was of East Anglian gentry origin, and became lord of Mendlesham through marriage. It is possible that the scribe intended to put the name of Edward's daughter Elizabeth's husband where Botetourt's now features. This evidence places no more than a question mark against Edward's fidelity. Edward's grandfather John and his great-grandfather Henry II had not been faithful husbands, but attitudes and expectations changed in the thirteenth century. Henry III's reputation had been impeccable, as of course had that of Louis IX. It would have been surprising had Edward not followed the precedent set by two kings whom he greatly admired. In general terms, the Hailes chronicle is a reliable source, but in the absence of any corroborative evidence, it is difficult to credit the evidence of this genealogical table. It is worth noting that Edward II's bastard son was duly acknowledged as such in a royal record, there is no such evidence in the case of John Botetourt").

| 5598 | RESEARCH_NOTES: 1. “Royal Ancestry: A Study in Colonial & Medieval Families,” Douglas Richardson (2013): “ADA BOTETOURT, married (1st) before 1322 (date of settlement) JOHN DE SAINT PHILIBERT, Knt., of Eaton Hastings, Cresswell (in Bray), Hanney, and Sulham, Berkshire, Tormarton and Southrop, Gloucestershire, etc., son and heir of Hugh de Saint Philibert, Knt., of Eaton Hastings, Cresswell (in Bray), and Hanney, Berkshire, by Alice, daughter of Bennet de Blakenham. He was born about 1293 (proved his age in 1314). They had two sons, John, Knt. [Lord Saint Philibert], and Thomas, and three daughters, Maud, Alice, and Margaret (or Margery). In 1318 he went on a pilgrimage to Santiago. He was on service overseas under Thomas of Brotherton, Earl of Norfolk in 1320. In 1322 her parents, John Botetourt and his wife, Maud, conveyed the manor of Chignal Smealey, Essex to him and his wife, Ada, and the heirs of John. He fought in Gascony in 1325 and 1331. SIR JOHN DE SAINT PHILIBERT died testate shortly before 22 Feb. 1333 in Gascony. On 8 July 1342 the king permitted his widow, Ada, to have respite until Easter next for her homage, which she owed for the lands which her late husband, John, held in chief. In August 1342 Ada, widow of John de Saint Philibert, Knt., John de la Grave, and Peter Pyrpond acknowledged that they owed Gilbert Talbot, Knt., 500 marks, to be levied, in default of payment, of their lands and chattels in Essex. She was granted a papal indult for plenary remission 20 July 1343. Ada married (2nd) before Hilary term 1344-5 (date of lawsuit) RICHARD FITZSIMON, K.G., of Dunmow, Essex, Bawsey and Pensthorpe, Norfolk, etc., son and heir of Simon Fitz Richard, of Dunmow, Essex, Pensthorpe, Norfolk, etc., by Nichole, daughter of William de Boville, Knt.* He attended the 2nd Dunstable Tournament in 1334. In 1338 he was on the king's service under the command of Reynold Cobham, Knt. In Michaelmas term 1340 Robert de Staunton sued Ada, formerly the wife of John de Saint Philibert, regarding a messuage and four carucates of land, excepting two virgates, in Thorineyton, Gloucestershire; Ada stated she held the tenements in question for her life of the inheritance of John, son and heir of John de Saint Philibert, and the reversion of them after her death belonged to him, and she could not answer without him, and that the said John was under age and in the custody of the king; the suit was to remain till the full age of the said John. In 1340 William Carbonel and Margery his wife desired a writ to summon Nichole, wife of Thomas de Hindringham, and Richard Fitz Simon her son regarding the manors of Bawsey, Glosthorp, and Badingham, Norfolk; Richard brought the king's protection, he being then to sail with the king to foreign parts. In 1341-2 Richard conveyed his right in the manor and the advowson of the church of Wilby, Suffolk to William Carbonel; William Carbonel and his wife Margaret in turn conveyed their rights in the manors of Bawsey and Glosthorp, Norfolk to him. In 1344-5 Richard sued Robert de Marney, Knt., regarding the taking of 10 cows and 100 sheep in Leigh, Essex. In 1345 he had letters of protection to pass beyond sea in the retinue of Henry, Earl of Derby. The same year he witnessed a release of Walter Pavely, Knt., to Sir Adam de Saint Philibert and Richard le Forester. In 1345 John Gernon, Knt. sued Ada, widow of John de Saint Philibert regarding a presentation to Leighs Priory, Essex. In May-June 1346 he was granted letters of protection until Christmas next. In 1346 he served in the king's expedition to France under Robert de Ufford, Earl of Suffolk. In 1347 he was still employed on the continent, and, in 1348, he was serving under Edward the Black Prince. SIR RICHARD FITZ SIMON was living 28 May 1348, when he and others conveyed the manor and advowson of Litcham, Norfolk to Richard de Rugham. His wife, Ada, died shortly before 31 May-2 June 1349.

She married before June 1282 JOHN BOTETOURT (or BUTETURTE, BOUTECOURTE, BOTECOURT, BUTECOURT), Knt., of Little Effingham and Upton, Norfolk, Great Bradley, Suffolk, etc., and, in right of his wife, of Mendlesham, Suffolk, Bromham, Cardington, Dilewick, Renhold, and Wootton, Bedfordshire, Linslade, Buckinghamshire, Hamerton, Huntingdonshire, Shelsley Beauchamp, Worcestershire, etc., Admiral of the North Fleet, Warden of the Forest of Dean and Constable of St. Briayels Castle, 1291-1308, Governor of Framlingham Castle, son and heir of Guy Botetourt, Knt., of Little Effingham, Cantley, Cranworth, Fishley, Kimberley, Upton, and Woodrising, Norfolk, by his wife, Ada. They had four sons, Thomas, Knt., John, K.B., Otes, Knt., and Robert, and three daughters, Joan, Ada, and Elizabeth. He began his household career as a falconer in the 1270s. He first campaigned in Wales in 1282 as a squire of the household. His wife, Maud, was co-heiress in 1283 to her brother, Otes Fitz Thomas, and sole heiress in 1285 to her sister, Joan, wife of Guy Ferre, by which she inherited the hereditary office of coiner of the Mint, together with the manors of Mendlesham, Suffolk, Belchamp Otton, Gestingthorpe, and Gosfield, Essex, Woodmancote, Gloucestershire, Hamerton, Huntingdonshire, Shelsley Beauchamp, Worcestershire, and a one-third share of the barony of Bedford, Bedfordshire. In 1286 he claimed view of frankpledge and free warren in Hamerton, Huntingdonshire. Sometime in the period, 1291-1302, Maud was heiress to her cousin, Joan, daughter of Hugh Fitz Otes, Knt., by which she inherited the manor of Isetthampstead (in Chesham), Buckinghamshire. In 1292-3 he was a justice of gaol delivery in Warwickshire and Leicestershire. In 1293 he and his wife Maud his wife quitclaimed to the Abbot of Colchester their right to the advowson of the church of Hamerton, Huntingdonshire. In 1294 when the king faced the threat of French galleys raiding the south coast of England, he appointed two household knights, William de Leyboume and John Botetourt as captain and sub-captain of the fleet. In the following year they were described as admirals - the first use of the term in England. In 1296 he commanded 94 ships taken from ports between Harwich and King's Lynn, the great majority from Yarmouth. In 1298 and 1299 he served on four commissions of oyer and terminer. In 1298 he had letters of protection for one year, he then going to Scotland. He was accompanied in that campaign by his younger brother, Guy Botetourt, and his valet, William Botetourt. In 1300 he complained William de Wolcherchehaw, taverner, beat one of his carters and did "other enormities;" the defendant came into court and pledged a cask of wine to him. He was present at the Siege of Caerlaverock in 1300; the metrical chronicler of that siege described him as "light of heart and doing good to all." The same year he was appointed one of three commissioners to inquire into cases of exportation of sterling money, gold and silver, plate, wool, etc., and the exchange of the same for base coin which was imported into England and unlawfully changed. He signed the Barons' letter to Pope Boniface VIII in 1301. In 1304 he led a raid into Nithsdale with 130 cavalry and 1,770 infantry. The same year the king ordered him to assist Robert de Brus, then on the English side, in transporting one great engine in preparation of the siege train for the siege of Stirling in Scotland. He was summoned to Parliament from 13 July 1305 to 13 Sept. 1324, by writs directed Jobanni Botetourt, whereby he may be held to have become Lord Botetourt. In 1305 he was appointed one of the justices of trailbaston. The same year he was sent to treat with the Scots on the affairs of that kingdom. In 1306 he enrolled himself as performing the service of one knight in Scotland, but in fact he had a contingent of three knights and eleven squires with him. In 1307 he again commanded a raid against the Scots. Sometime before 1309-10, he and his wife, Maud, conveyed land in Linslade, Buckinghamshire to William Rous. In 1309-10 William Fitz Walter conveyed the manor of Great Bradley, Suffolk to him and his wife, Maud. In 1310 he obtained a license to alienate lands and rents in Mendlesham, Suffolk in mot twain to the value of 100s. for a chaplain to celebrate in Mendlesham church. In 1311 he and his wife, Maud, were granted the reversion of the manors of Fulbourn, Cambridgeshire and Great Carbrooke, Norfolk by Baldwin de Manners, Knt., who died childless in 1320. John sold the former manor to William la Zouche Mortimer, Knt., Lord Zouche, and Alice his wife in 1323; the latter manor was held in 1327 by John Botetourt's son-in-law, William le Latimer. In 1312 John Botetourt and several others were granted letters of safe-conduct by the king to confer in London with Arnold, Cardinal of St. Prisca, and Louis, Count of Evreux, who were sent to help effect a reconciliation between King Edward II and the disaffected earls. In 1314 he commanded the fleet employed in the expedition against Scotland. The same year Peter de Burgate, Knt., released all his right in the manor of Mendlesham, Suffolk to him and his wife, Maud. In 1315 he complained that those recruited for his company were "feeble chaps, not strong enough, not properly dressed, and lacking bows and arrows." In 1316 he presented his brother, Master Roger Botetourt, as rector of Great Bradley, Suffolk. In 1318 he again presented to the church of Great Bradley, Suffolk. The same year he and his wife, Maud, complained that Richard, Abbot of St. Edmunds, William de Cleye, and many others came to Tivetshall, Norfolk, where Maud and some of the servants of the said John were lodged, maliciously raised a hue and cry against them, expelled the said Maud and the servants from the inn, carried away the goods of the said John, and assaulted the said servants. Either he or his grandson, John Botetourt, was heir sometime after 1318-19 to his brother, William Botetourt, by which he inherited the manor of Cantley, Norfolk. In 1319 he and his wife, Maud, sold the manor of Woodmancote, Gloucestershire to Robert de Swynburn. In 1320 he obtained a license to alienate one acre of land in Fishley, Norfolk, together with the advowson of a moiety of the church of Fishley, Norfolk, to the Prior and Convent of St. Mary's, Weybridge, and for them to appropriate the said moiety, to find a chaplain to celebrate divine services for the soul of the said John and the souls of his ancestors. In 1321 he and his wife, Maud, sold the manor of Shelsley Beauchamp, Worcestershire to John de Wysham, Knt., and his wife, Hawise de Poynings; in 1322-3 he conveyed the manor and advowson of the church of Little Effingham, Norfolk to the same couple. John joined the rebellion of Thomas, Earl of Lancaster, and fought at the Battle of Boroughbridge 16 March 1321/2. He was subsequently fined £1000, and received a pardon 8 October 1322. In 1323 he and his wife, Maud, conveyed the manor of Isenhampstead Chesham), Buckinghamshire to Hugh le Despenser the younger, but, on Hugh's execution and attainder in 1326, the manor escheated to the crown and custody was re-granted to Maud Botetourt. In 1323-4 they made a settlement of the manor of Great Carbrooke, Norfolk, evidently in connection with the marriage of their daughter, Elizabeth, to William le Latimer, as William was lord of this manor in 1327. In 1324 John paid the Italian bankers, the Peruzzi, 100 marks, evidently in payment of a debt he owed to Hugh le Despenser the younger. SIR JOHN BOTETOURT, 1st Lord Botetourt, died 25 Nov. 1324. In 1325 his widow, Maud, sued Andrew de Bures, Robert de Bures and his wife, Hillary, and John de Wysham and his wife, Hawise, for one third part of the manor of Little Effingham, Norfolk, which she claimed as her dower. In 1327 she likewise sued Robert son of John Botetourt, John de Wynchestre and others regarding unspecified land in Suffolk. In 1328 she obtained a license to enfeoff Master William Artoys of a messuage and land in Renhold, Bedfordshire. On 12 Nov. 1328 she obtained a license to convey to her daughter and son-in-law, Elizabeth and William le Latimer, her share of the barony of Bedford, Bedfordshire, including the manors of Bromham, Cardington, Dilewick, Renhold, and Wootton, Bedfordshire. Maud, Lady Botetourt, died shortly before 27 Nov. 1328. In May 1329 her son-in-law, William le Latimer, was pardoned for having previously purchased from her without license the hereditary office of coiner of the Mint. In 1330 John and Maud's son, Otes Botetourt, obtained a license to alienate in mortrnain a messuage, 30 acres of land, and 30s. in rent in Mendlesham, Suffolk to a chaplain to celebrate divine services in the parish church of Mendlesham for the souls of his parents. (Note: F.N. Craig published a brilliant article entitled "The Parentage of John Botetourt (died 1324)" in TAG 63 (1988): 145-153, which article provides compelling evidence that Sir John Botetourt, 1st Lord Botetourt, is the son and heir of Sir Guy Botetourt (died c.1316), of Effingham, Norfolk, by his wife, Ada (living 1311-12). Specifically, Mr. Craig showed that Sir Guy Botetourt had the manors of Effingham (his chief seat), Uphall (in Cantley), and Upton, Norfolk, all of which passed to Sir John Botetourt, 1st Lord Botetourt, or his descendants. For additional evidence of Sir John Botetourt's parentage, see Byerly & Byerly Recs. of the Wardrobe & Household 1286-1289 (1986): 258, which mentions Robert brother of John Botetourt. This Robert appears to be the same individual as Robert son of Guy Botetourt, a priest, who occurs in 1306; a Roger son of Guy Botetourt, also a priest, is named in 1306 [see Papal Regs.: Letters 2 (1895): 15, 211. In 1294 Roger Botetourt and his brother Robert [presumably the same individuals] jointly acquired a messuage in St. Michael's parish, Cambridge in 1294 [see Cooper Mems. of Cambridge (1861): 215]. In 1306 the king gave license to Master Roger and Robert Boutetourt to enclose the lane on the south side of their dwelling-place in Cambridge [see C.P.R. 1301-4307 (1898): 435]. Master Roger later sold this property alone in 1324 as "Master Roger, the son of the noble man Sir Guy Buttetourte." [see Cooper, ibid.; Procs. Soc. of Antiquaries of London 2nd Ser. 4 (1869): 200-201; Rye Pedes Finium or Fines Rd Cambridge (1891): 90]. Master Roger is doubtless the same person as the Roger Botetourt who was rector of Little Effingham, Norfolk, which advowson was held by Sir John Botetourt, 1st Lord Botetourt, in 1317 (see Watkin Inv. of Church Goods temp. Edward III (Norfolk Rec. Soc. 19(2)) (1948): 137, 215). Robert Botetourt also served as a feoffee in 1311, when Sir Baldwin de Manners settled the reversion of two manors on Sir John Botetourt and Maud his wife [see Blomefield Essay towards a Top. Hist. of Norfolk 1 (1739): 608; Banks Baronies in Fee 2 (1843): 101 (sub Manners); Rye Pedes Finium or Fines Rel. Cambridge (1891): 891. Records further shows that Sir John Boteourt, who owned the manor of Great Bradley, Suffolk, appointed Robert Botetourt as rector at Great Bradley, Suffolk in 1311, and Master Roger Botetourt as rector of the same place in 1316. Sir John Botetourt, 1st Lord Botetourt, also had three additional brothers, Ralph Botetourt, who joined his father, Guy Botetourt, Knt., and Guy's wife, Ada, in fines dated 1296-7 and 1297-8 (see Rye Short Cal. Feet of Fines for Norfolk 1 (1885): 149, 151); Guy Botetourt, who accompanied his brother, Sir John, to Scotland in 1298 (see Gough Scotland in 1298 (1888): 22. 68, 166) and Thomas Botetourt, who in 1300 was owed a debt as "Thomas son of Guy Botetourt." (see National Archives, C241/35/295). In 1305-6 Thomas made a settlement of the manor of Cranworth, Norfolk, and property in Wood Rising, Norfolk on his parents, Guy and Ada Botetourt (see Rye Short Cal Feet of Fines for Norfolk 2 (1886): 230). In 1307 Thomas Botetourt, a subdeacon, was the pluralist rector of Tivetshall, Norfolk and Euston and Troston, Suffolk (see Blomefield Essay towards a Top. Hist. of Norfolk 1 (1739): 138; 2 (1739): 880); Tivetshall, Norfolk is the place where John Botetourt's wife, Maud, and his servants were expelled from the inn in 1318 by the Abbot of Sc. Edmunds and other men (see above). Taken together, the various pieces of evidence, the passage of lands, and the close association of these individuals make it clear that Sir John, Master Roger, Robert, Guy, Ralph, and Master Thomas Botetourt were all sons of Sir Guy Botetourt, Knt. (died c.1316), of Effingham, Norfolk, and his wife, Ada For further particulars regarding Sir Guy Botetourt (died c.1316), and his wife, Ada, see Blomefield Essay towards a Top.

For further particulars regarding Sir John Botetourt's younger brothers, Master Roger (son of Guy) Botetourt, a priest, who occurs variously from 1294 to 1330/1, holding the benefices of Thompson, Norfolk, and Great Wigston, Leicestershire, and Robert Botetourt, a priest, who occurs variously from 1286/89 to 1311, holding the benefices of Caulebourne, Hampshire and Fomcett, Norfolk, see Potts Liber Cantabtigiensis (1855): 337; Rye Short CaL of Feet of Fines for Norfolk 2 (1886): 282, Willis & Clark Architectural Hist. of the Univ. of Cambridge 1 (1886): 162; Rye Short CaL Feet of Fines for Norfolk 2 (1886): 282; C.P.R. 1321-1324 (1904): 245; Feudal Aids 3 (1904): 458; TAG 63 (1988): 153; National Archives, C 241/77/28, C 241/101/124. Finally, Mr. Craig in his Botetourt article in TAG 63 (1988): 146 (chart), 151 identified "John le Botetourt," brother of William son of Ralph de Saham, clerk, who occurs in a Norfolk pleading dated 1307 as being the same person as Sir John Botetourt, 1st Lord Botetourt; however, the person in the 1307 pleading appears to be a separate and distinct individual from Sir John Botetourt, as he was neither a knight or a baron [see Blomefield Essay towards a Top.

Prestwich Edward I (1997): 131-132 ("Edward [I] appears to have been remarkably faithful to his queens ... there is the curious inclusion of John Botetourt in a genealogical table in a Hailes Abbey chronicle. His name appears to be written over an erasure, and there is nothing in Botetourt's career to suggest that he was an illegitimate son of the king. He first appeared in royal service as a falconer, but rose to high rank, becoming a banneret in 1298. He was of East Anglian gentry origin, and became lord of Mendlesham through marriage. It is possible that the scribe intended to put the name of Edward's daughter Elizabeth's husband where Botetourt's now features. This evidence places no more than a question mark against Edward's fidelity. Edward's grandfather John and his great-grandfather Henry II had not been faithful husbands, but attitudes and expectations changed in the thirteenth century. Henry III's reputation had been impeccable, as of course had that of Louis IX. It would have been surprising had Edward not followed the precedent set by two kings whom he greatly admired. In general terms, the Hailes chronicle is a reliable source, but in the absence of any corroborative evidence, it is difficult to credit the evidence of this genealogical table. It is worth noting that Edward II's bastard son was duly acknowledged as such in a royal record, there is no such evidence in the case of John Botetourt").

In 1318 he went on a pilgrimage to Santiago. He was on service overseas under Thomas of Brotherton, Earl of Norfolk in 1320. In 1322 her parents, John Botetourt and his wife, Maud, conveyed the manor of Chignal Smealey, Essex to him and his wife, Ada, and the heirs of John. He fought in Gascony in 1325 and 1331. SIR JOHN DE SAINT PHILIBERT died testate shortly before 22 Feb. 1333 in Gascony. On 8 July 1342 the king permitted his widow, Ada, to have respite until Easter next for her homage, which she owed for the lands which her late husband, John, held in chief. In August 1342 Ada, widow of John de Saint Philibert, Knt., John de la Grave, and Peter Pyrpond acknowledged that they owed Gilbert Talbot, Knt., 500 marks, to be levied, in default of payment, of their lands and chattels in Essex. She was granted a papal indult for plenary remission 20 July 1343. Ada married (2nd) before Hilary term 1344-5 (date of lawsuit) RICHARD FITZSIMON, K.G., of Dunmow, Essex, Bawsey and Pensthorpe, Norfolk, etc., son and heir of Simon Fitz Richard, of Dunmow, Essex, Pensthorpe, Norfolk, etc., by Nichole, daughter of William de Boville, Knt.* He attended the 2nd Dunstable Tournament in 1334. In 1338 he was on the king's service under the command of Reynold Cobham, Knt. In Michaelmas term 1340 Robert de Staunton sued Ada, formerly the wife of John de Saint Philibert, regarding a messuage and four carucates of land, excepting two virgates, in Thorineyton, Gloucestershire; Ada stated she held the tenements in question for her life of the inheritance of John, son and heir of John de Saint Philibert, and the reversion of them after her death belonged to him, and she could not answer without him, and that the said John was under age and in the custody of the king; the suit was to remain till the full age of the said John. In 1340 William Carbonel and Margery his wife desired a writ to summon Nichole, wife of Thomas de Hindringham, and Richard Fitz Simon her son regarding the manors of Bawsey, Glosthorp, and Badingham, Norfolk; Richard brought the king's protection, he being then to sail with the king to foreign parts. In 1341-2 Richard conveyed his right in the manor and the advowson of the church of Wilby, Suffolk to William Carbonel; William Carbonel and his wife Margaret in turn conveyed their rights in the manors of Bawsey and Glosthorp, Norfolk to him. In 1344-5 Richard sued Robert de Marney, Knt., regarding the taking of 10 cows and 100 sheep in Leigh, Essex. In 1345 he had letters of protection to pass beyond sea in the retinue of Henry, Earl of Derby. The same year he witnessed a release of Walter Pavely, Knt., to Sir Adam de Saint Philibert and Richard le Forester. In 1345 John Gernon, Knt. sued Ada, widow of John de Saint Philibert regarding a presentation to Leighs Priory, Essex. In May-June 1346 he was granted letters of protection until Christmas next. In 1346 he served in the king's expedition to France under Robert de Ufford, Earl of Suffolk. In 1347 he was still employed on the continent, and, in 1348, he was serving under Edward the Black Prince. SIR RICHARD FITZ SIMON was living 28 May 1348, when he and others conveyed the manor and advowson of Litcham, Norfolk to Richard de Rugham. His wife, Ada, died shortly before 31 May-2 June 1349. (* Note: Eller Mems.: Arch. & Eccl. of the West Winch Manors (1861): 75-78 alleges that Sir Richard Fitz Simon and his wife, Ada Botetourt, had a daughter and heiress, Nichole, wife of John Spoo (see also Burke Gen. & Heraldic Dict. of the Landed Gentry of Great Britain & Ireland 2 (1863): 1468 (sub Symons)).

JOHN DE SAINT PHILIBERT, of Eaton Hastings, Berkshire, Tormarton, Gloucestershire, etc., and, in right of his wife, of Sherborne St. John, Hampshire, son and heir, born about 1327 (aged 6 in 1333). He appears to have married as a child (1st) JOAN DE UFFORD, daughter of Robert de Ufford, K.G., 1st Earl of Suffolk, Lord Ufford, by Margaret, daughter of Walter de Norwich, Knt., Chief Baron of the Exchequer, Lord High Treasurer. They had no issue. In 1345 he was illegally arrested when on pilgrimage at Pisa. He married (2550) before 3 Sept. 1347 MARGARET DE SAINT JOHN, daughter of Hugh de Saint John, Knt, 2.0 Lord Saint John of Basing, by Mirabel, daughter of Hugh Wake, Knt. [see PAULET 9 for her ancestry]. She was born about 1329 (aged 18 in 1347). They had two sons, Adam and John. In 1347 he was in the retinue of Edward, Prince of Wales in France. His wife, Margaret, was co-heiress in 1347 to her brother, Edmund de Saint John, 3rd Lord Saint John. He did homage for his lands 11 Jan. 1347/8. He served in France and Gascony in 1348, 1349, 1355, 1356, and 1358. He was summoned to Parliament 20 Nov. 1348, by writ directed Johanni de Sancto Philiberto, whereby he is held to have become Lord Saint Philibert. In 1351 he conveyed the manors of Tormarton, Gloucestershire and Westwell, Oxfordshire to William de Edington, Bishop of Winchester. In 1353 he surrendered the manor of Eaton Hastings, Berkshire to the king, reserving a life interest to himself and his wife, Margaret.

She married before June 1282 JOHN BOTETOURT (or BUTETURTE, BOUTECOURTE, BOTECOURT, BUTECOURT), Knt., of Little Effingham and Upton, Norfolk, Great Bradley, Suffolk, etc., and, in right of his wife, of Mendlesham, Suffolk, Bromham, Cardington, Dilewick, Renhold, and Wootton, Bedfordshire, Linslade, Buckinghamshire, Hamerton, Huntingdonshire, Shelsley Beauchamp, Worcestershire, etc., Admiral of the North Fleet, Warden of the Forest of Dean and Constable of St. Briayels Castle, 1291-1308, Governor of Framlingham Castle, son and heir of Guy Botetourt, Knt., of Little Effingham, Cantley, Cranworth, Fishley, Kimberley, Upton, and Woodrising, Norfolk, by his wife, Ada. They had four sons, Thomas, Knt., John, K.B., Otes, Knt., and Robert, and three daughters, Joan, Ada, and Elizabeth. He began his household career as a falconer in the 1270s. He first campaigned in Wales in 1282 as a squire of the household. His wife, Maud, was co-heiress in 1283 to her brother, Otes Fitz Thomas, and sole heiress in 1285 to her sister, Joan, wife of Guy Ferre, by which she inherited the hereditary office of coiner of the Mint, together with the manors of Mendlesham, Suffolk, Belchamp Otton, Gestingthorpe, and Gosfield, Essex, Woodmancote, Gloucestershire, Hamerton, Huntingdonshire, Shelsley Beauchamp, Worcestershire, and a one-third share of the barony of Bedford, Bedfordshire. In 1286 he claimed view of frankpledge and free warren in Hamerton, Huntingdonshire. Sometime in the period, 1291-1302, Maud was heiress to her cousin, Joan, daughter of Hugh Fitz Otes, Knt., by which she inherited the manor of Isetthampstead (in Chesham), Buckinghamshire. In 1292-3 he was a justice of gaol delivery in Warwickshire and Leicestershire. In 1293 he and his wife Maud his wife quitclaimed to the Abbot of Colchester their right to the advowson of the church of Hamerton, Huntingdonshire. In 1294 when the king faced the threat of French galleys raiding the south coast of England, he appointed two household knights, William de Leyboume and John Botetourt as captain and sub-captain of the fleet. In the following year they were described as admirals - the first use of the term in England. In 1296 he commanded 94 ships taken from ports between Harwich and King's Lynn, the great majority from Yarmouth. In 1298 and 1299 he served on four commissions of oyer and terminer. In 1298 he had letters of protection for one year, he then going to Scotland. He was accompanied in that campaign by his younger brother, Guy Botetourt, and his valet, William Botetourt. In 1300 he complained William de Wolcherchehaw, taverner, beat one of his carters and did "other enormities;" the defendant came into court and pledged a cask of wine to him. He was present at the Siege of Caerlaverock in 1300; the metrical chronicler of that siege described him as "light of heart and doing good to all." The same year he was appointed one of three commissioners to inquire into cases of exportation of sterling money, gold and silver, plate, wool, etc., and the exchange of the same for base coin which was imported into England and unlawfully changed. He signed the Barons' letter to Pope Boniface VIII in 1301. In 1304 he led a raid into Nithsdale with 130 cavalry and 1,770 infantry. The same year the king ordered him to assist Robert de Brus, then on the English side, in transporting one great engine in preparation of the siege train for the siege of Stirling in Scotland. He was summoned to Parliament from 13 July 1305 to 13 Sept. 1324, by writs directed Jobanni Botetourt, whereby he may be held to have become Lord Botetourt. In 1305 he was appointed one of the justices of trailbaston. The same year he was sent to treat with the Scots on the affairs of that kingdom. In 1306 he enrolled himself as performing the service of one knight in Scotland, but in fact he had a contingent of three knights and eleven squires with him. In 1307 he again commanded a raid against the Scots. Sometime before 1309-10, he and his wife, Maud, conveyed land in Linslade, Buckinghamshire to William Rous. In 1309-10 William Fitz Walter conveyed the manor of Great Bradley, Suffolk to him and his wife, Maud. In 1310 he obtained a license to alienate lands and rents in Mendlesham, Suffolk in mot twain to the value of 100s. for a chaplain to celebrate in Mendlesham church. In 1311 he and his wife, Maud, were granted the reversion of the manors of Fulbourn, Cambridgeshire and Great Carbrooke, Norfolk by Baldwin de Manners, Knt., who died childless in 1320. John sold the former manor to William la Zouche Mortimer, Knt., Lord Zouche, and Alice his wife in 1323; the latter manor was held in 1327 by John Botetourt's son-in-law, William le Latimer. In 1312 John Botetourt and several others were granted letters of safe-conduct by the king to confer in London with Arnold, Cardinal of St. Prisca, and Louis, Count of Evreux, who were sent to help effect a reconciliation between King Edward II and the disaffected earls. In 1314 he commanded the fleet employed in the expedition against Scotland. The same year Peter de Burgate, Knt., released all his right in the manor of Mendlesham, Suffolk to him and his wife, Maud. In 1315 he complained that those recruited for his company were "feeble chaps, not strong enough, not properly dressed, and lacking bows and arrows." In 1316 he presented his brother, Master Roger Botetourt, as rector of Great Bradley, Suffolk. In 1318 he again presented to the church of Great Bradley, Suffolk. The same year he and his wife, Maud, complained that Richard, Abbot of St. Edmunds, William de Cleye, and many others came to Tivetshall, Norfolk, where Maud and some of the servants of the said John were lodged, maliciously raised a hue and cry against them, expelled the said Maud and the servants from the inn, carried away the goods of the said John, and assaulted the said servants. Either he or his grandson, John Botetourt, was heir sometime after 1318-19 to his brother, William Botetourt, by which he inherited the manor of Cantley, Norfolk. In 1319 he and his wife, Maud, sold the manor of Woodmancote, Gloucestershire to Robert de Swynburn. In 1320 he obtained a license to alienate one acre of land in Fishley, Norfolk, together with the advowson of a moiety of the church of Fishley, Norfolk, to the Prior and Convent of St. Mary's, Weybridge, and for them to appropriate the said moiety, to find a chaplain to celebrate divine services for the soul of the said John and the souls of his ancestors. In 1321 he and his wife, Maud, sold the manor of Shelsley Beauchamp, Worcestershire to John de Wysham, Knt., and his wife, Hawise de Poynings; in 1322-3 he conveyed the manor and advowson of the church of Little Effingham, Norfolk to the same couple. John joined the rebellion of Thomas, Earl of Lancaster, and fought at the Battle of Boroughbridge 16 March 1321/2. He was subsequently fined £1000, and received a pardon 8 October 1322. In 1323 he and his wife, Maud, conveyed the manor of Isenhampstead Chesham), Buckinghamshire to Hugh le Despenser the younger, but, on Hugh's execution and attainder in 1326, the manor escheated to the crown and custody was re-granted to Maud Botetourt. In 1323-4 they made a settlement of the manor of Great Carbrooke, Norfolk, evidently in connection with the marriage of their daughter, Elizabeth, to William le Latimer, as William was lord of this manor in 1327. In 1324 John paid the Italian bankers, the Peruzzi, 100 marks, evidently in payment of a debt he owed to Hugh le Despenser the younger. SIR JOHN BOTETOURT, 1st Lord Botetourt, died 25 Nov. 1324. In 1325 his widow, Maud, sued Andrew de Bures, Robert de Bures and his wife, Hillary, and John de Wysham and his wife, Hawise, for one third part of the manor of Little Effingham, Norfolk, which she claimed as her dower. In 1327 she likewise sued Robert son of John Botetourt, John de Wynchestre and others regarding unspecified land in Suffolk. In 1328 she obtained a license to enfeoff Master William Artoys of a messuage and land in Renhold, Bedfordshire. On 12 Nov. 1328 she obtained a license to convey to her daughter and son-in-law, Elizabeth and William le Latimer, her share of the barony of Bedford, Bedfordshire, including the manors of Bromham, Cardington, Dilewick, Renhold, and Wootton, Bedfordshire. Maud, Lady Botetourt, died shortly before 27 Nov. 1328. In May 1329 her son-in-law, William le Latimer, was pardoned for having previously purchased from her without license the hereditary office of coiner of the Mint. In 1330 John and Maud's son, Otes Botetourt, obtained a license to alienate in mortrnain a messuage, 30 acres of land, and 30s. in rent in Mendlesham, Suffolk to a chaplain to celebrate divine services in the parish church of Mendlesham for the souls of his parents. (Note: F.N. Craig published a brilliant article entitled "The Parentage of John Botetourt (died 1324)" in TAG 63 (1988): 145-153, which article provides compelling evidence that Sir John Botetourt, 1st Lord Botetourt, is the son and heir of Sir Guy Botetourt (died c.1316), of Effingham, Norfolk, by his wife, Ada (living 1311-12). Specifically, Mr. Craig showed that Sir Guy Botetourt had the manors of Effingham (his chief seat), Uphall (in Cantley), and Upton, Norfolk, all of which passed to Sir John Botetourt, 1st Lord Botetourt, or his descendants. For additional evidence of Sir John Botetourt's parentage, see Byerly & Byerly Recs. of the Wardrobe & Household 1286-1289 (1986): 258, which mentions Robert brother of John Botetourt. This Robert appears to be the same individual as Robert son of Guy Botetourt, a priest, who occurs in 1306; a Roger son of Guy Botetourt, also a priest, is named in 1306 [see Papal Regs.: Letters 2 (1895): 15, 211. In 1294 Roger Botetourt and his brother Robert [presumably the same individuals] jointly acquired a messuage in St. Michael's parish, Cambridge in 1294 [see Cooper Mems. of Cambridge (1861): 215]. In 1306 the king gave license to Master Roger and Robert Boutetourt to enclose the lane on the south side of their dwelling-place in Cambridge [see C.P.R. 1301-4307 (1898): 435]. Master Roger later sold this property alone in 1324 as "Master Roger, the son of the noble man Sir Guy Buttetourte." [see Cooper, ibid.; Procs. Soc. of Antiquaries of London 2nd Ser. 4 (1869): 200-201; Rye Pedes Finium or Fines Rd Cambridge (1891): 90]. Master Roger is doubtless the same person as the Roger Botetourt who was rector of Little Effingham, Norfolk, which advowson was held by Sir John Botetourt, 1st Lord Botetourt, in 1317 (see Watkin Inv. of Church Goods temp. Edward III (Norfolk Rec. Soc. 19(2)) (1948): 137, 215). Robert Botetourt also served as a feoffee in 1311, when Sir Baldwin de Manners settled the reversion of two manors on Sir John Botetourt and Maud his wife [see Blomefield Essay towards a Top. Hist. of Norfolk 1 (1739): 608; Banks Baronies in Fee 2 (1843): 101 (sub Manners); Rye Pedes Finium or Fines Rel. Cambridge (1891): 891. Records further shows that Sir John Boteourt, who owned the manor of Great Bradley, Suffolk, appointed Robert Botetourt as rector at Great Bradley, Suffolk in 1311, and Master Roger Botetourt as rector of the same place in 1316. Sir John Botetourt, 1st Lord Botetourt, also had three additional brothers, Ralph Botetourt, who joined his father, Guy Botetourt, Knt., and Guy's wife, Ada, in fines dated 1296-7 and 1297-8 (see Rye Short Cal. Feet of Fines for Norfolk 1 (1885): 149, 151); Guy Botetourt, who accompanied his brother, Sir John, to Scotland in 1298 (see Gough Scotland in 1298 (1888): 22. 68, 166) and Thomas Botetourt, who in 1300 was owed a debt as "Thomas son of Guy Botetourt." (see National Archives, C241/35/295). In 1305-6 Thomas made a settlement of the manor of Cranworth, Norfolk, and property in Wood Rising, Norfolk on his parents, Guy and Ada Botetourt (see Rye Short Cal Feet of Fines for Norfolk 2 (1886): 230). In 1307 Thomas Botetourt, a subdeacon, was the pluralist rector of Tivetshall, Norfolk and Euston and Troston, Suffolk (see Blomefield Essay towards a Top. Hist. of Norfolk 1 (1739): 138; 2 (1739): 880); Tivetshall, Norfolk is the place where John Botetourt's wife, Maud, and his servants were expelled from the inn in 1318 by the Abbot of Sc. Edmunds and other men (see above). Taken together, the various pieces of evidence, the passage of lands, and the close association of these individuals make it clear that Sir John, Master Roger, Robert, Guy, Ralph, and Master Thomas Botetourt were all sons of Sir Guy Botetourt, Knt. (died c.1316), of Effingham, Norfolk, and his wife, Ada For further particulars regarding Sir Guy Botetourt (died c.1316), and his wife, Ada, see Blomefield Essay towards a Top.

Prestwich Edward I (1997): 131-132 ("Edward [I] appears to have been remarkably faithful to his queens ... there is the curious inclusion of John Botetourt in a genealogical table in a Hailes Abbey chronicle. His name appears to be written over an erasure, and there is nothing in Botetourt's career to suggest that he was an illegitimate son of the king. He first appeared in royal service as a falconer, but rose to high rank, becoming a banneret in 1298. He was of East Anglian gentry origin, and became lord of Mendlesham through marriage. It is possible that the scribe intended to put the name of Edward's daughter Elizabeth's husband where Botetourt's now features. This evidence places no more than a question mark against Edward's fidelity. Edward's grandfather John and his great-grandfather Henry II had not been faithful husbands, but attitudes and expectations changed in the thirteenth century. Henry III's reputation had been impeccable, as of course had that of Louis IX. It would have been surprising had Edward not followed the precedent set by two kings whom he greatly admired. In general terms, the Hailes chronicle is a reliable source, but in the absence of any corroborative evidence, it is difficult to credit the evidence of this genealogical table. It is worth noting that Edward II's bastard son was duly acknowledged as such in a royal record, there is no such evidence in the case of John Botetourt").
