Sometime in the period, 1157-66, he witnessed an exchange of land between Roger de Tichborne and the Bishop of Winchester. He held a fee in Cherhill, Wiltshire of new enfeoffment in 1166. Sometime in the period, c.1166-90, Elias de Studley conveyed to him his land held of the fee of William Malbanc in Heytesbury and Cherhill, Wiltshire at an annual rent of 20s. In 1184 he accounted for the farm of Kinver before the itinerant justices in Oxfordshire. He married (1st) before 25 Jan. 1184/5 BEATRICE DE SAY, daughter and co-heiress of William de Say, of Kimbolton, Huntingdonshire, and Saham, Norfolk [see SAY 4.i for her ancestry]. They had three sons, Geoffrey de Mandeville [5th Earl of Essex], William de Mandeville, Knt. [6th Earl of Essex], and Henry [Dean of Wolverhampton], and two daughters, Maud and Alice. In 1186-7 King Henry II granted him the manor of Cherhill, Wiltshire, to hold in fee and inheritance by the service of one knight, as his father Peter or his brother Robert held it. In the period, 1186-89, he and his two half-brothers, William and Hugh de Buckland, witnessed a charter of William, Earl of Ferrers, to Ralph Fitz Stephen. In the period, c.1189-99, he founded Shouldham Abbey, Norfolk, to which he gave the manor and the advowson of the church of Shouldham, Norfolk, together with the churches of Shouldham Thorpe, Stoke Ferry, and Wereham, Norfolk. In 1190 he obtained the lands to which his wife's grandmother, Beatrice, had become heir on the death of her nephew, William de Mandeville, Earl of Essex. From Easter 1190 he received the third penny of the county of Essex. Sometime in the period, 1190-1213, Sibyl de Fiennes, daughter of Pharamus of Boulogne, conveyed to him 300 acres on Hyngeshill [?in Quarrendon, Buckinghamshire] at an annual rent of an unmewed sparrowhawk, or 12d. Sometime in the period, 1190-1213, he granted the manor of Cherhill, Wiltshire to his younger son, William de Mandeville. He was one of those excommunicated for his part in removing Longchamp in 1191. About 1195 he and his half-brothers, William and Geoffrey de Buckland, witnessed a charter of Geoffrey Fitz Nigel de Gardino to William de Ultra la Haia. In 1195 he owed £4 4s. in the vill of Lydford, Devon for making the market of the king there. His wife, Beatrice, died in childbed before 19 April 1197. Her body was initially buried in Chicksands Priory, Bedfordshire, but later transferred to Shouldham Priory, Norfolk. In 1198 Eustace de Balliol and his wife, Pernel (widow of Geoffrey's brother Robert), quitclaimed all their right to lands in Salthrop (in Wroughton), Wiltshire to Geoffrey, in return for 30 marks silver. He was present at the Coronation of King John 27 May 1199, where he was girded with the sword of earl. In the period, 1199-1216, Geoffrey gave Shouldham Priory, Norfolk twelve shops, with the rooms over them, in the parish of St. Mary's Colechurch, London, for the purpose of sustaining the lights of the church and of providing the sacramental wine. Sometime in or before 1199, he made a grant to William de Wrotham, Archdeacon of Taunton, of all his land of Sutton at Hone, Kent to make a hospital for the maintenance of thirteen poor men and three chaplains in honour of the Holy Trinity, St. Mary, and All Saints. He was granted a weekly market and yearly fair at Amersham, Buckinghamshire and Kimbolton, Huntingdonshire in 1200. In the period, 1200-13, he made notification that Abbot Ralph and the convent of Westminster had at his petition confirmed to the nuns of Shouldham all tithes pertaining to them in Clakelose Hundred, Norfolk, in return for £1 10s. due annually to the almoner of Westminster. In the same period, Abbot Ralph and the convent of Westminster granted him the vill of Claygate, Surrey to hold of them for his lifetime. In 1204 King John granted him the manor of Winterslow, Wiltshire, and, in 1205, the honour of Berkhampstead, Hertfordshire with the castle at a fee farm of £100 per annum. Geoffrey married (2nd) before 29 May 1205 (date of grant) AVELINE DE CLARE, widow of William de Munchensy, of Swanscombe, Kent, Winfarthing and Gooderstone, Norfolk, etc. (died shortly before 7 May 1204) [see CLARE 4.ii], and daughter of Roger de Clare, Earl of Clare or Hertford, by Maud, daughter and heiress of James de Saint Hilary [see CLARE 4 for her ancestry]. They had one son, John, Knt, and four daughters, Hawise, Cecily, ___, and Maud. He campaigned against the Welsh in 1206 and 1210. He was granted a significant part of the lands forfeited by Normans, including the manors of Depden and Hatfield Peverel, Essex, and other lands in Norfolk and Suffolk, all worth over £100 per annum. In 1207 the king confirmed his possession of the manor of Notgrove, Gloucestershire, which Geoffrey had by the gift of John Eskelling. The same year he was granted a weekly market and yearly fair at Moretonhampstead, Devon. Sometime before 1212, he was granted the manor of Gussage Dynaunt (or Gussage St. Michael), Dorset, which manor was forfeited by Roland de Dinan. At some unspecified date, when already earl, he granted all his right in St. Peter's chapel in Drayton to the canons of St. Peter's Cathedral, York. He was the founder of the first church of Whitney Priory, Hampshire. SIR GEOFFREY FITZ PETER, Earl of Essex, died 14 October 1213, and was buried in Shouldham Priory, Norfolk. In 1213-4 the king commanded Geoffrey de Buckland to let the king have, at the price any others would give for them, the corn, pigs, and other chattels at Berkhampstead, Hertfordshire which belonged his brother, Geoffrey Fitz Peter, lately deceased. About 1214 his widow, Aveline, granted the canons of Holy Trinity, London, in frank almoin, a half mark quit rent out of her manor of Towcester, Northamptonshire, part of whose body is buried there. In 1221 the Prior of the Hospital of Jerusalem in England sued her regarding two virgates and five acres of land in Towcester, Northamptonshire. Aveline, Countess of Essex, died before 4 June 1225.

Sometime in the period, 1157-66, he witnessed an exchange of land between Roger de Tichborne and the Bishop of Winchester. He held a fee in Cherhill, Wiltshire of new enfeoffment in 1166. Sometime in the period, c.1166-90, Elias de Studley conveyed to him his land held of the fee of William Malbanc in Heytesbury and Cherhill, Wiltshire at an annual rent of 20s. In 1184 he accounted for the farm of Kinver before the itinerant justices in Oxfordshire. He married (1st) before 25 Jan. 1184/5 BEATRICE DE SAY, daughter and co-heiress of William de Say, of Kimbolton, Huntingdonshire, and Saham, Norfolk [see SAY 4.i for her ancestry]. They had three sons, Geoffrey de Mandeville [5th Earl of Essex], William de Mandeville, Knt. [6th Earl of Essex], and Henry [Dean of Wolverhampton], and two daughters, Maud and Alice. In 1186-7 King Henry II granted him the manor of Cherhill, Wiltshire, to hold in fee and inheritance by the service of one knight, as his father Peter or his brother Robert held it. In the period, 1186-89, he and his two half-brothers, William and Hugh de Buckland, witnessed a charter of William, Earl of Ferrers, to Ralph Fitz Stephen. In the period, c.1189-99, he founded Shouldham Abbey, Norfolk, to which he gave the manor and the advowson of the church of Shouldham, Norfolk, together with the churches of Shouldham Thorpe, Stoke Ferry, and Wereham, Norfolk. In 1190 he obtained the lands to which his wife's grandmother, Beatrice, had become heir on the death of her nephew, William de Mandeville, Earl of Essex. From Easter 1190 he received the third penny of the county of Essex. Sometime in the period, 1190-1213, Sibyl de Fiennes, daughter of Pharamus of Boulogne, conveyed to him 300 acres on Hyngeshill [?in Quarrendon, Buckinghamshire] at an annual rent of an unmewed sparrowhawk, or 12d. Sometime in the period, 1190-1213, he granted the manor of Cherhill, Wiltshire to his younger son, William de Mandeville. He was one of those excommunicated for his part in removing Longchamp in 1191. About 1195 he and his half-brothers, William and Geoffrey de Buckland, witnessed a charter of Geoffrey Fitz Nigel de Gardino to William de Ultra la Haia. In 1195 he owed £4 4s. in the vill of Lydford, Devon for making the market of the king there. His wife, Beatrice, died in childbed before 19 April 1197. Her body was initially buried in Chicksands Priory, Bedfordshire, but later transferred to Shouldham Priory, Norfolk. In 1198 Eustace de Balliol and his wife, Pernel (widow of Geoffrey's brother Robert), quitclaimed all their right to lands in Salthrop (in Wroughton), Wiltshire to Geoffrey, in return for 30 marks silver. He was present at the Coronation of King John 27 May 1199, where he was girded with the sword of earl. In the period, 1199-1216, Geoffrey gave Shouldham Priory, Norfolk twelve shops, with the rooms over them, in the parish of St. Mary's Colechurch, London, for the purpose of sustaining the lights of the church and of providing the sacramental wine. Sometime in or before 1199, he made a grant to William de Wrotham, Archdeacon of Taunton, of all his land of Sutton at Hone, Kent to make a hospital for the maintenance of thirteen poor men and three chaplains in honour of the Holy Trinity, St. Mary, and All Saints. He was granted a weekly market and yearly fair at Amersham, Buckinghamshire and Kimbolton, Huntingdonshire in 1200. In the period, 1200-13, he made notification that Abbot Ralph and the convent of Westminster had at his petition confirmed to the nuns of Shouldham all tithes pertaining to them in Clakelose Hundred, Norfolk, in return for £1 10s. due annually to the almoner of Westminster. In the same period, Abbot Ralph and the convent of Westminster granted him the vill of Claygate, Surrey to hold of them for his lifetime. In 1204 King John granted him the manor of Winterslow, Wiltshire, and, in 1205, the honour of Berkhampstead, Hertfordshire with the castle at a fee farm of £100 per annum. Geoffrey married (2nd) before 29 May 1205 (date of grant) AVELINE DE CLARE, widow of William de Munchensy, of Swanscombe, Kent, Winfarthing and Gooderstone, Norfolk, etc. (died shortly before 7 May 1204) [see CLARE 4.ii], and daughter of Roger de Clare, Earl of Clare or Hertford, by Maud, daughter and heiress of James de Saint Hilary [see CLARE 4 for her ancestry]. They had one son, John, Knt, and four daughters, Hawise, Cecily, ___, and Maud. He campaigned against the Welsh in 1206 and 1210. He was granted a significant part of the lands forfeited by Normans, including the manors of Depden and Hatfield Peverel, Essex, and other lands in Norfolk and Suffolk, all worth over £100 per annum. In 1207 the king confirmed his possession of the manor of Notgrove, Gloucestershire, which Geoffrey had by the gift of John Eskelling. The same year he was granted a weekly market and yearly fair at Moretonhampstead, Devon. Sometime before 1212, he was granted the manor of Gussage Dynaunt (or Gussage St. Michael), Dorset, which manor was forfeited by Roland de Dinan. At some unspecified date, when already earl, he granted all his right in St. Peter's chapel in Drayton to the canons of St. Peter's Cathedral, York. He was the founder of the first church of Whitney Priory, Hampshire. SIR GEOFFREY FITZ PETER, Earl of Essex, died 14 October 1213, and was buried in Shouldham Priory, Norfolk. In 1213-4 the king commanded Geoffrey de Buckland to let the king have, at the price any others would give for them, the corn, pigs, and other chattels at Berkhampstead, Hertfordshire which belonged his brother, Geoffrey Fitz Peter, lately deceased. About 1214 his widow, Aveline, granted the canons of Holy Trinity, London, in frank almoin, a half mark quit rent out of her manor of Towcester, Northamptonshire, part of whose body is buried there. In 1221 the Prior of the Hospital of Jerusalem in England sued her regarding two virgates and five acres of land in Towcester, Northamptonshire. Aveline, Countess of Essex, died before 4 June 1225.

Sometime in the period, 1157-66, he witnessed an exchange of land between Roger de Tichborne and the Bishop of Winchester. He held a fee in Cherhill, Wiltshire of new enfeoffment in 1166. Sometime in the period, c.1166-90, Elias de Studley conveyed to him his land held of the fee of William Malbanc in Heytesbury and Cherhill, Wiltshire at an annual rent of 20s. In 1184 he accounted for the farm of Kinver before the itinerant justices in Oxfordshire. He married (1st) before 25 Jan. 1184/5 BEATRICE DE SAY, daughter and co-heiress of William de Say, of Kimbolton, Huntingdonshire, and Saham, Norfolk [see SAY 4.i for her ancestry]. They had three sons, Geoffrey de Mandeville [5th Earl of Essex], William de Mandeville, Knt. [6th Earl of Essex], and Henry [Dean of Wolverhampton], and two daughters, Maud and Alice. In 1186-7 King Henry II granted him the manor of Cherhill, Wiltshire, to hold in fee and inheritance by the service of one knight, as his father Peter or his brother Robert held it. In the period, 1186-89, he and his two half-brothers, William and Hugh de Buckland, witnessed a charter of William, Earl of Ferrers, to Ralph Fitz Stephen. In the period, c.1189-99, he founded Shouldham Abbey, Norfolk, to which he gave the manor and the advowson of the church of Shouldham, Norfolk, together with the churches of Shouldham Thorpe, Stoke Ferry, and Wereham, Norfolk. In 1190 he obtained the lands to which his wife's grandmother, Beatrice, had become heir on the death of her nephew, William de Mandeville, Earl of Essex. From Easter 1190 he received the third penny of the county of Essex. Sometime in the period, 1190-1213, Sibyl de Fiennes, daughter of Pharamus of Boulogne, conveyed to him 300 acres on Hyngeshill [?in Quarrendon, Buckinghamshire] at an annual rent of an unmewed sparrowhawk, or 12d. Sometime in the period, 1190-1213, he granted the manor of Cherhill, Wiltshire to his younger son, William de Mandeville. He was one of those excommunicated for his part in removing Longchamp in 1191. About 1195 he and his half-brothers, William and Geoffrey de Buckland, witnessed a charter of Geoffrey Fitz Nigel de Gardino to William de Ultra la Haia. In 1195 he owed £4 4s. in the vill of Lydford, Devon for making the market of the king there. His wife, Beatrice, died in childbed before 19 April 1197. Her body was initially buried in Chicksands Priory, Bedfordshire, but later transferred to Shouldham Priory, Norfolk. In 1198 Eustace de Balliol and his wife, Pernel (widow of Geoffrey's brother Robert), quitclaimed all their right to lands in Salthrop (in Wroughton), Wiltshire to Geoffrey, in return for 30 marks silver. He was present at the Coronation of King John 27 May 1199, where he was girded with the sword of earl. In the period, 1199-1216, Geoffrey gave Shouldham Priory, Norfolk twelve shops, with the rooms over them, in the parish of St. Mary's Colechurch, London, for the purpose of sustaining the lights of the church and of providing the sacramental wine. Sometime in or before 1199, he made a grant to William de Wrotham, Archdeacon of Taunton, of all his land of Sutton at Hone, Kent to make a hospital for the maintenance of thirteen poor men and three chaplains in honour of the Holy Trinity, St. Mary, and All Saints. He was granted a weekly market and yearly fair at Amersham, Buckinghamshire and Kimbolton, Huntingdonshire in 1200. In the period, 1200-13, he made notification that Abbot Ralph and the convent of Westminster had at his petition confirmed to the nuns of Shouldham all tithes pertaining to them in Clakelose Hundred, Norfolk, in return for £1 10s. due annually to the almoner of Westminster. In the same period, Abbot Ralph and the convent of Westminster granted him the vill of Claygate, Surrey to hold of them for his lifetime. In 1204 King John granted him the manor of Winterslow, Wiltshire, and, in 1205, the honour of Berkhampstead, Hertfordshire with the castle at a fee farm of £100 per annum. Geoffrey married (2nd) before 29 May 1205 (date of grant) AVELINE DE CLARE, widow of William de Munchensy, of Swanscombe, Kent, Winfarthing and Gooderstone, Norfolk, etc. (died shortly before 7 May 1204) [see CLARE 4.ii], and daughter of Roger de Clare, Earl of Clare or Hertford, by Maud, daughter and heiress of James de Saint Hilary [see CLARE 4 for her ancestry]. They had one son, John, Knt, and four daughters, Hawise, Cecily, ___, and Maud. He campaigned against the Welsh in 1206 and 1210. He was granted a significant part of the lands forfeited by Normans, including the manors of Depden and Hatfield Peverel, Essex, and other lands in Norfolk and Suffolk, all worth over £100 per annum. In 1207 the king confirmed his possession of the manor of Notgrove, Gloucestershire, which Geoffrey had by the gift of John Eskelling. The same year he was granted a weekly market and yearly fair at Moretonhampstead, Devon. Sometime before 1212, he was granted the manor of Gussage Dynaunt (or Gussage St. Michael), Dorset, which manor was forfeited by Roland de Dinan. At some unspecified date, when already earl, he granted all his right in St. Peter's chapel in Drayton to the canons of St. Peter's Cathedral, York. He was the founder of the first church of Whitney Priory, Hampshire. SIR GEOFFREY FITZ PETER, Earl of Essex, died 14 October 1213, and was buried in Shouldham Priory, Norfolk. In 1213-4 the king commanded Geoffrey de Buckland to let the king have, at the price any others would give for them, the corn, pigs, and other chattels at Berkhampstead, Hertfordshire which belonged his brother, Geoffrey Fitz Peter, lately deceased. About 1214 his widow, Aveline, granted the canons of Holy Trinity, London, in frank almoin, a half mark quit rent out of her manor of Towcester, Northamptonshire, part of whose body is buried there. In 1221 the Prior of the Hospital of Jerusalem in England sued her regarding two virgates and five acres of land in Towcester, Northamptonshire. Aveline, Countess of Essex, died before 4 June 1225.

“WILLIAM FITZ ROBERT, 2nd Earl of Gloucester, lord of Glamorgan and Caerleon, seigneur of Torigny in Manche, Normandy, etc., Governor of Wareham Castle, 1144, son and heir. In 1128 he witnessed an agreement between his father and the Abbot of Fecamp. He married about 1150 HAWISE OF LEICESTER, daughter of Robert of Meulan, Knt., 1st Earl of Leicester, by Amice, daughter of Raoul, seigneur of Gael in Brittany and Bréteuil in Normandy [see LEICESTER 6 for her ancestry]. They had one son, Robert (living c.1170), and three daughters, Mabel, Amice, and Isabel. In 1128 he was a witness to an agreement between his father and the Abbot of Fécamp. In 1141 he served as surety for his father, then a prisoner at Rochester. In 1147 he overthrew Henry de Tracy at Castle Cary. Sometime in the period, 1147-50, probably before March 1148/9, he signed a treaty with Roger, Earl of Hereford, by which William agreed to hold faith and give aid to Roger as his man, against all men except their lord, Henry; William promised aid especially for the purpose of disinheriting Gilbert de Lacy. Sometime in the period, 1147-83, he granted Margam Abbey land in Margam, in exchange for the land of Baldwin the Harper of Newborough. Sometime in the period, 1147-83, he gave to the church and monks of St. Giles, Little Malvern, Worcestershire ten acres in the forest of Malvern with appurtenances in the said forest for inclosure and cultivation. In 1148 he gave a confirmation to Gloucester jointly with his mother. In 1153 he was one of the witnesses to the agreement between King Stephen and Henry, Duke of Normandy [afterwards King Henry II]; he also witnessed a charter of Duke Henry dated at Bristol. In 1158 he and his wife and son Robert were captured at Cardiff Castle by Ivor the Little and carried into the woods, where they were held as prisoners until the earl redressed Ivor's grievances. He witnessed a charter of his father-in-law, Robert, Earl of Leicester, dated c.1150-60. He founded Keynsham Priory in Somerset in 1169, and was a benefactor to many other religious foundations. About 1170 he granted his son, Robert, land in Margam, which Robert thereupon gave to Abbot Conan and the convent. In 1173 he took the king's part against his sons, and later that year went to the help of the king's forces at the Battle of Fornham. In 1174 he submitted to the king, and in 1175 he surrendered Bristol Castle to him. In 1178 he witnessed King Henry's charter to Waltham Abbey. In 1183 the king imprisoned a number of magnates of whose loyalty he was doubtful, including Earl William. About 1183 Earl William granted Walter Lageles land which his father held, for an annual rent of eight shillings. About 1183 he granted Kenaithur son of Herbert son of Godwinet and his brothers the lands of Keleculum and Treikik WILLIAM FITZ ROBERT, Earl of Gloucester, died 23 Nov. 1183, and was buried at Keynsham Abbey, Somerset. In the period, 1183-97, his widow, Hawise, granted W. de Arundel her servant a burgage situated beside the bridge of her borough of Fairford. In the same period, she granted to the burgesses of Peters field all the liberties and free customs which William her husband formerly granted to them by his charter. In 1189-90 she witnessed a charter of his brother, Robert, Earl of Leicester. Hawise, Countess of Gloucester, died 24 April 1197.

3. “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.

Sometime in the period, 1157-66, he witnessed an exchange of land between Roger de Tichborne and the Bishop of Winchester. He held a fee in Cherhill, Wiltshire of new enfeoffment in 1166. Sometime in the period, c.1166-90, Elias de Studley conveyed to him his land held of the fee of William Malbanc in Heytesbury and Cherhill, Wiltshire at an annual rent of 20s. In 1184 he accounted for the farm of Kinver before the itinerant justices in Oxfordshire. He married (1st) before 25 Jan. 1184/5 BEATRICE DE SAY, daughter and co-heiress of William de Say, of Kimbolton, Huntingdonshire, and Saham, Norfolk [see SAY 4.i for her ancestry]. They had three sons, Geoffrey de Mandeville [5th Earl of Essex], William de Mandeville, Knt. [6th Earl of Essex], and Henry [Dean of Wolverhampton], and two daughters, Maud and Alice. In 1186-7 King Henry II granted him the manor of Cherhill, Wiltshire, to hold in fee and inheritance by the service of one knight, as his father Peter or his brother Robert held it. In the period, 1186-89, he and his two half-brothers, William and Hugh de Buckland, witnessed a charter of William, Earl of Ferrers, to Ralph Fitz Stephen. In the period, c.1189-99, he founded Shouldham Abbey, Norfolk, to which he gave the manor and the advowson of the church of Shouldham, Norfolk, together with the churches of Shouldham Thorpe, Stoke Ferry, and Wereham, Norfolk. In 1190 he obtained the lands to which his wife's grandmother, Beatrice, had become heir on the death of her nephew, William de Mandeville, Earl of Essex. From Easter 1190 he received the third penny of the county of Essex. Sometime in the period, 1190-1213, Sibyl de Fiennes, daughter of Pharamus of Boulogne, conveyed to him 300 acres on Hyngeshill [?in Quarrendon, Buckinghamshire] at an annual rent of an unmewed sparrowhawk, or 12d. Sometime in the period, 1190-1213, he granted the manor of Cherhill, Wiltshire to his younger son, William de Mandeville. He was one of those excommunicated for his part in removing Longchamp in 1191. About 1195 he and his half-brothers, William and Geoffrey de Buckland, witnessed a charter of Geoffrey Fitz Nigel de Gardino to William de Ultra la Haia. In 1195 he owed £4 4s. in the vill of Lydford, Devon for making the market of the king there. His wife, Beatrice, died in childbed before 19 April 1197. Her body was initially buried in Chicksands Priory, Bedfordshire, but later transferred to Shouldham Priory, Norfolk. In 1198 Eustace de Balliol and his wife, Pernel (widow of Geoffrey's brother Robert), quitclaimed all their right to lands in Salthrop (in Wroughton), Wiltshire to Geoffrey, in return for 30 marks silver. He was present at the Coronation of King John 27 May 1199, where he was girded with the sword of earl. In the period, 1199-1216, Geoffrey gave Shouldham Priory, Norfolk twelve shops, with the rooms over them, in the parish of St. Mary's Colechurch, London, for the purpose of sustaining the lights of the church and of providing the sacramental wine. Sometime in or before 1199, he made a grant to William de Wrotham, Archdeacon of Taunton, of all his land of Sutton at Hone, Kent to make a hospital for the maintenance of thirteen poor men and three chaplains in honour of the Holy Trinity, St. Mary, and All Saints. He was granted a weekly market and yearly fair at Amersham, Buckinghamshire and Kimbolton, Huntingdonshire in 1200. In the period, 1200-13, he made notification that Abbot Ralph and the convent of Westminster had at his petition confirmed to the nuns of Shouldham all tithes pertaining to them in Clakelose Hundred, Norfolk, in return for £1 10s. due annually to the almoner of Westminster. In the same period, Abbot Ralph and the convent of Westminster granted him the vill of Claygate, Surrey to hold of them for his lifetime. In 1204 King John granted him the manor of Winterslow, Wiltshire, and, in 1205, the honour of Berkhampstead, Hertfordshire with the castle at a fee farm of £100 per annum. Geoffrey married (2nd) before 29 May 1205 (date of grant) AVELINE DE CLARE, widow of William de Munchensy, of Swanscombe, Kent, Winfarthing and Gooderstone, Norfolk, etc. (died shortly before 7 May 1204) [see CLARE 4.ii], and daughter of Roger de Clare, Earl of Clare or Hertford, by Maud, daughter and heiress of James de Saint Hilary [see CLARE 4 for her ancestry]. They had one son, John, Knt, and four daughters, Hawise, Cecily, ___, and Maud. He campaigned against the Welsh in 1206 and 1210. He was granted a significant part of the lands forfeited by Normans, including the manors of Depden and Hatfield Peverel, Essex, and other lands in Norfolk and Suffolk, all worth over £100 per annum. In 1207 the king confirmed his possession of the manor of Notgrove, Gloucestershire, which Geoffrey had by the gift of John Eskelling. The same year he was granted a weekly market and yearly fair at Moretonhampstead, Devon. Sometime before 1212, he was granted the manor of Gussage Dynaunt (or Gussage St. Michael), Dorset, which manor was forfeited by Roland de Dinan. At some unspecified date, when already earl, he granted all his right in St. Peter's chapel in Drayton to the canons of St. Peter's Cathedral, York. He was the founder of the first church of Whitney Priory, Hampshire. SIR GEOFFREY FITZ PETER, Earl of Essex, died 14 October 1213, and was buried in Shouldham Priory, Norfolk. In 1213-4 the king commanded Geoffrey de Buckland to let the king have, at the price any others would give for them, the corn, pigs, and other chattels at Berkhampstead, Hertfordshire which belonged his brother, Geoffrey Fitz Peter, lately deceased. About 1214 his widow, Aveline, granted the canons of Holy Trinity, London, in frank almoin, a half mark quit rent out of her manor of Towcester, Northamptonshire, part of whose body is buried there. In 1221 the Prior of the Hospital of Jerusalem in England sued her regarding two virgates and five acres of land in Towcester, Northamptonshire. Aveline, Countess of Essex, died before 4 June 1225.

2. “Royal Ancestry: A Study in Colonial & Medieval Families,” Douglas Richardson (2013):
“HENRY DE BOHUN, of Trowbridge, Heddington, and Newton Tony, Wiltshire, hereditary Constable of England, son and heir, born about 1175 (aged 10 in 1185). In 1185 he was a minor in the custody of his widowed grandmother, Margaret de Bohun. He attested a number of her charters and accounted for relief for her lands in 1197. Sometime in the period, 1187-93, he witnessed a charter for his mother to Bradenstoke Priory. He married MAUD DE MANDEVILLE,* daughter of Geoffrey Fitz Peter, Knt., 4th Earl of Essex, by his 1st wife, Beatrice, eldest daughter and co-heiress of William de Say, of Kimbolton, Huntingdonshire, and Saham, Norfolk [see ESSEX 2 for her ancestry]. Her maritagium included the manor of Wheatenhurst, and property in Framilode (in Fretherne), Gloucestershire. They had two sons, Humphrey, Knt. [Earl of Hereford and Essex] and possibly Henry. In 1196 his sister, Maud de Bohun, quitclaimed to him all her right to the viii of Walton upon Thames, Surrey (a Bohun family property), in exchange for confirmation of lands which she had in marriage with Juhel de Mayenne, namely lands in the vills of Blackmoor (in Selbome), Hampshire and Newton Tony, Wiltshire. Henry was created Earl of Hereford 28 April 1200, on his consenting to release his right to certain lands which his ancestor, Miles of Gloucester, Earl of Hereford, had received from his father-in-law, Bernard de Newmarch. In 1200 he was sent with other nobles to escort his uncle, William the Lion, King of Scotland to do homage to King John at Lincoln. The same year he was granted a weekly market and yearly fair at Trowbridge, Wiltshire. Sometime in the period, 1200-20, with consent of his wife, Countess Maud, he gave a messuage with curtilage in Framilode (in Fretherne), Gloucestershire to the monks of Winchcombe Abbey. In the same period, he granted land in Westbury, Gloucestershire to Richard Fitz Roger, of Westbury, for the services of 1/4 knights' fee. In 1204 Earl Henry was involved in a legal dispute with his uncle, David, Earl of Huntingdon, regarding 20 knight's fees in the honour of Huntingdon, including the manors of Glaston and Ryhall, Rutland; Earl David failed to appear to prosecute his claim and seisin was given to Henry. In the period, 1208-11, his uncle, William the Lion, King of Scotland confirmed to William Noble lands in Kilpunt and Illieston (both in Kirkliston), West Lothian in Scotland, which lands were previously granted to said Noble by Henry de Bohun, Earl of Hereford. In 1212 William Longespée, Earl of Salisbury, and his wife, Ela, instituted suit in the king's court against Ela's kinsman, Earl Henry, for the barony of Trowbridge, Wiltshire, Henry's chief fief. The king assumed control of the honour, but allowed Earl William's agents to levy scutage from its tenants. Sometime before 1215 he granted a house and land on English Street in Southampton to Beaulieu Abbey. In 1215 he joined the confederacy of the barons against the king, and his lands were seized by the king He was one of the twenty-five barons elected to guarantee the observance of Magna Carta, signed by King John 15 June 1215. In consequence he was among the barons excommunicated by Pope Innocent III 16 Dec. 1215. After the death of King John, he adhered to the party of Louis of France, and his lands were again declared forfeited. He fought at the Battle of Lincoln, where he was taken prisoner 20 May 1217. He was subsequently released and his lands restored, excepting the manor of Ryhall, Rutland. About Michaelmas 1219 Alan le Grant was charged one mark by the king to have an assize of novel disseisin against Henry, Earl of Hereford, in Surrey. Sometime before 1219, he quitclaimed to Malmesbury Abbey all his right to one carucate of pasture land located between Kemble and Chelworth, Wiltshire. HENRY DE BOHUN, 5th Earl of Hereford, went on a crusade to the Holy Land in 1219, where he died 1 June 1220. He was buried with his son, Henry, in the chapter house of Llanthony Priory outside Gloucester. In Michaelmas term 1220 and Michaelmas term 1221 his widow, Maud, sued William Longespee, Earl of Salisbury, and Ela his wife in a plea of dower in Wiltshire. Maud married (2nd) after Michaelmas 1221 (date of lawsuit) and before Easter term 1226 (date of lawsuit) ROGER DE DAUNTSEY (or DE DAUNTESEY), Knt., of Dauntsey and Wilsford, Wiltshire, and, in right of his wife, of Pleshey, Debden, High Easter, Walden, and Waltham, Essex, Amersham and Quarrendon, Buckinghamshire, Kimbolton, Huntingdonshire, Enfield, Middlesex, Long Compton, Warwickshire, etc. They had no issue. In 1226 she and her husband, Roger, were sued by her son, Humphrey de Bohun, Earl of Hereford, regarding the manor of Heddington, Wiltshire. Maud was heiress in 1227 to her brother, William de Mandeville, 6th Earl of Essex, whereby she became suo jure Countess of Essex. She and Roger had livery of her Mandeville inheritance 29 October 1227 and 22 Feb. 1227/8. In the period, 1226-c.1243, Roger reached an agreement with Simon, Prior of Bradenstoke, concerning a close called Linley situated between their lands. In the period, 1227-32, she gave a tenth of her means of life to the nunnery of St. Mary Clerkenwell, as her cousin, Geoffrey de Mandeville, 2.d Earl of Essex, granted it. In 1229 Roger and his wife, Countess Maud, sold one moiety of the manor of Long Compton, Warwickshire, excluding the capital messuage, to William Marshal, Earl of Pembroke, and the other moiety of the manor, including the capital messuage, to Hubert de Burgh, Earl of Kent. In 1229/30 she received the manors of Gussage, Dorset and Debden, Essex, as well as property in Winchester, Hampshire, by settlement with her half-brother, John Fitz Geoffrey. Countess Maud subsequently conveyed the manor of Gussage, Dorset to her half-sister, Maud Fitz Geoffrey (died 1261), wife successively of Henry d'Oilly, Knt., and William de Cantelowe, Knt., Steward of the King's Household. Countess Maud instituted annulment proceedings in 1232 to free herself from her second husband, Roger. In Easter term 1232 Josce de Cornhull sued Roger and his wife, Maud, regarding a debt of £24 14s. 3d. in Essex. Following a sentence of divorce pronounced in Court Christian, Maud had a writ of livery, 24 April 1233, for all the lands of her inheritance then in the hands of Roger. A papal review board, however, overturned the sentence of divorce three years later and adjudged her to be Roger's lawful wife. The castles and lands which comprised Maud's inheritance and dower, and from which she had made grants in her "free widowhood" during those three years, were ordered restored to Roger in July 1236. Sometime in the period, 1233-6, she quitclaimed to her half-brother, John Fitz Geoffrey, 100s. which he owed her annually for Cherhill, Wiltshire. In 1234 she granted her half-brother, John Fitz Geoffrey, the manor of Quarrendon, Buckinghamshire, he rendering to her the service due to the chief lord of the fee, as well as the service of a twentieth of a knight. In the period, 1234-5, she leased the manors of Saffron Walden and Debden, Essex to Edmund, Archbishop of Canterbury at an annual rent of £120, until a debt of 7,160 marks owed by her late brothers, Geoffrey and William de Mandeville, was paid in full. In Jan. 1236 the king requested that she fulfill the promise which she gave to Master John de Ferentino, Archdeacon of Norwich, of making him a provision of £10 yearly in land in the manor of High Easter, Essex. Maud de Mandeville, Countess of Essex and Hereford, died 27 August 1236. On 25 October 1236 Ela, Countess of Salisbury, reached agreement with William Longespee, her eldest son, to grant a moiety of the manor of Heddington, Wiltshire to Lacock Priory, which property fell to her on the death of Countess Maud. Sir Roger de Dauntsey was living in August 1238.

They had five sons, William, Knt., [Master] Thomas [Bishop of Hereford, Chancellor of England, Chancellor of Oxford University], [Master] Hugh [Archdeacon of Gloucester], John, and Nicholas, and two daughters, Agnes and Juliane. Like his father, he was named by Roger of Wendover as one of King John's "evil counselors." In 1217 Gilbert de Clare, Earl of Gloucester, granted William's wife, Milicent, the manors of Marlow, Buckinghamshire and Burford, Oxfordshire, together with the life grant of the viii of Hambleden, Buckinghamshire in satisfaction of Milicent's claims to dower in the lands of her former husband, Amaury de Evreux.

He participated in Earl Ranulph's armed demonstration at the Tower of London in 1223, but then submitted with the earl. He presented to the churches of Bulwick, Northamptonshire, 1226 and 1247, and Barby, Northamptonshire, 1230. He obtained a confirmation of the manor of Aston Cantlow, Warwickshire in 1227 and again in 1231. He joined Chester on the king's expedition to Brittany in 1230.

Sometime in the period, 1157-66, he witnessed an exchange of land between Roger de Tichborne and the Bishop of Winchester. He held a fee in Cherhill, Wiltshire of new enfeoffment in 1166. Sometime in the period, c.1166-90, Elias de Studley conveyed to him his land held of the fee of William Malbanc in Heytesbury and Cherhill, Wiltshire at an annual rent of 20s. In 1184 he accounted for the farm of Kinver before the itinerant justices in Oxfordshire. He married (1st) before 25 Jan. 1184/5 BEATRICE DE SAY, daughter and co-heiress of William de Say, of Kimbolton, Huntingdonshire, and Saham, Norfolk [see SAY 4.i for her ancestry]. They had three sons, Geoffrey de Mandeville [5th Earl of Essex], William de Mandeville, Knt. [6th Earl of Essex], and Henry [Dean of Wolverhampton], and two daughters, Maud and Alice. In 1186-7 King Henry II granted him the manor of Cherhill, Wiltshire, to hold in fee and inheritance by the service of one knight, as his father Peter or his brother Robert held it. In the period, 1186-89, he and his two half-brothers, William and Hugh de Buckland, witnessed a charter of William, Earl of Ferrers, to Ralph Fitz Stephen. In the period, c.1189-99, he founded Shouldham Abbey, Norfolk, to which he gave the manor and the advowson of the church of Shouldham, Norfolk, together with the churches of Shouldham Thorpe, Stoke Ferry, and Wereham, Norfolk. In 1190 he obtained the lands to which his wife's grandmother, Beatrice, had become heir on the death of her nephew, William de Mandeville, Earl of Essex. From Easter 1190 he received the third penny of the county of Essex. Sometime in the period, 1190-1213, Sibyl de Fiennes, daughter of Pharamus of Boulogne, conveyed to him 300 acres on Hyngeshill [?in Quarrendon, Buckinghamshire] at an annual rent of an unmewed sparrowhawk, or 12d. Sometime in the period, 1190-1213, he granted the manor of Cherhill, Wiltshire to his younger son, William de Mandeville. He was one of those excommunicated for his part in removing Longchamp in 1191. About 1195 he and his half-brothers, William and Geoffrey de Buckland, witnessed a charter of Geoffrey Fitz Nigel de Gardino to William de Ultra la Haia. In 1195 he owed £4 4s. in the vill of Lydford, Devon for making the market of the king there. His wife, Beatrice, died in childbed before 19 April 1197. Her body was initially buried in Chicksands Priory, Bedfordshire, but later transferred to Shouldham Priory, Norfolk. In 1198 Eustace de Balliol and his wife, Pernel (widow of Geoffrey's brother Robert), quitclaimed all their right to lands in Salthrop (in Wroughton), Wiltshire to Geoffrey, in return for 30 marks silver. He was present at the Coronation of King John 27 May 1199, where he was girded with the sword of earl. In the period, 1199-1216, Geoffrey gave Shouldham Priory, Norfolk twelve shops, with the rooms over them, in the parish of St. Mary's Colechurch, London, for the purpose of sustaining the lights of the church and of providing the sacramental wine. Sometime in or before 1199, he made a grant to William de Wrotham, Archdeacon of Taunton, of all his land of Sutton at Hone, Kent to make a hospital for the maintenance of thirteen poor men and three chaplains in honour of the Holy Trinity, St. Mary, and All Saints. He was granted a weekly market and yearly fair at Amersham, Buckinghamshire and Kimbolton, Huntingdonshire in 1200. In the period, 1200-13, he made notification that Abbot Ralph and the convent of Westminster had at his petition confirmed to the nuns of Shouldham all tithes pertaining to them in Clakelose Hundred, Norfolk, in return for £1 10s. due annually to the almoner of Westminster. In the same period, Abbot Ralph and the convent of Westminster granted him the vill of Claygate, Surrey to hold of them for his lifetime. In 1204 King John granted him the manor of Winterslow, Wiltshire, and, in 1205, the honour of Berkhampstead, Hertfordshire with the castle at a fee farm of £100 per annum. Geoffrey married (2nd) before 29 May 1205 (date of grant) AVELINE DE CLARE, widow of William de Munchensy, of Swanscombe, Kent, Winfarthing and Gooderstone, Norfolk, etc. (died shortly before 7 May 1204) [see CLARE 4.ii], and daughter of Roger de Clare, Earl of Clare or Hertford, by Maud, daughter and heiress of James de Saint Hilary [see CLARE 4 for her ancestry]. They had one son, John, Knt, and four daughters, Hawise, Cecily, ___, and Maud. He campaigned against the Welsh in 1206 and 1210. He was granted a significant part of the lands forfeited by Normans, including the manors of Depden and Hatfield Peverel, Essex, and other lands in Norfolk and Suffolk, all worth over £100 per annum. In 1207 the king confirmed his possession of the manor of Notgrove, Gloucestershire, which Geoffrey had by the gift of John Eskelling. The same year he was granted a weekly market and yearly fair at Moretonhampstead, Devon. Sometime before 1212, he was granted the manor of Gussage Dynaunt (or Gussage St. Michael), Dorset, which manor was forfeited by Roland de Dinan. At some unspecified date, when already earl, he granted all his right in St. Peter's chapel in Drayton to the canons of St. Peter's Cathedral, York. He was the founder of the first church of Whitney Priory, Hampshire. SIR GEOFFREY FITZ PETER, Earl of Essex, died 14 October 1213, and was buried in Shouldham Priory, Norfolk. In 1213-4 the king commanded Geoffrey de Buckland to let the king have, at the price any others would give for them, the corn, pigs, and other chattels at Berkhampstead, Hertfordshire which belonged his brother, Geoffrey Fitz Peter, lately deceased. About 1214 his widow, Aveline, granted the canons of Holy Trinity, London, in frank almoin, a half mark quit rent out of her manor of Towcester, Northamptonshire, part of whose body is buried there. In 1221 the Prior of the Hospital of Jerusalem in England sued her regarding two virgates and five acres of land in Towcester, Northamptonshire. Aveline, Countess of Essex, died before 4 June 1225.

“ISABEL LE BIGOD, married (1st) GILBERT DE LACY (or LASCY), of Ewyas Lacy, Herefordshire, son and heir apparent of Walter de Lacy, Knt., of Weobley, Holme Lacy, Mansell Gamage, and Yarkhill, Herefordshire, Ludlow, Rock [Farm] (in Ludlow), and Stanton Lacy, Shropshire, lord of Meath, Ireland, by Margaret (or Margery), daughter of William de Brewes. Isabel's maritagium included lands in Great Connell, co. Kildare, Ireland. They had one son, Walter, and two daughters, Margery and Maud. Gilbert was hostage for his father in August 1215. GILBERT DE LACY died shortly before 25 Dec. 1230, and was buried in Llanthony Priory, Wales. His widow, Isabel, married (2nd) before 12 April 1234 JOHN FITZ GEOFFREY, Knt., of Shere, Surrey, Fambridge, Essex, Whaddon, Steeple Claydon, Quarrendon, and Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire, Redmarley Adam (in Great Witley), Worcestershire, etc., Sheriff of Yorkshire, 1234-6, Justiciar of Ireland, Justice of the Forest south of Trent, younger son of Geoffrey Fitz Peter, Knt., Earl of Essex, Justiciar of England, by his 2nd wife, Aveline, daughter of Roger de Clare, Earl of Clare [see ESSEX 2 for his ancestry]. He was born about 1205. They had two sons, John, Knt. [Lord Fitz John] and Richard, Knt. [Lord Fitz John], and four daughters, Maud, Isabel, Aveline, and Joan. In 1227 he sued the Abbot of Missenden for 22 acres of meadow in Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire in which the abbot had ingress only through Ralph de Chenduit to whom William [de Mandeville], Earl of Essex (brother of the said John), demised the meadow for a term. He was granted the manor of Steeple Claydon, Buckinghamshire about 1230 by Henry d'Oilly' his possession of the manor was confirmed by the king in 1232 following the death of Henry d'Oilly. In 1233 he was summoned to respond to Henry de Kemeseck regarding the right of presentation to the church of East Tilbury, Essex. John replied that that the church belonged to the hospital which his father, Geoffrey Fitz Peter, had built upon land purchased from Clement de Monasterio, who held it of the church. Clement was present and said that Geoffrey had taken the land from him by force. It was admitted that the land on which the hospital was built pertained to the church, which in its turn pertained to the ancestral fief of the earls at Pleshey. Consequently John lost his case. Sometime in the period, 1233-6, his half-sister, Maud de Mandeville, Countess of Essex and Hereford, quitclaimed to him 100s. which he owed her annually for Cherhill, Wiltshire. In 1234 she granted him the manor of Quarrendon, Buckinghamshire, he rendering to her the service due to the chief lord of the fee, as well as the service of a twentieth of a knight. In 1237 he was sent to the Council of Lyons to protest against the papal tribute. In 1240 the king granted him the manor of Ringwood, Hampshire, it being described as "of the lands of the Bretons." The king granted him the manor of Whaddon, Buckinghamshire in 1242, which Hugh d'Aubeney, Earl of Arundel, had surrendered to the king of the lands of the Normans. The same year the marriage of the sons and heirs of John de Vipont was granted to him for a fine of 200 marks. In 1243 Roger de Clere conveyed the manor of Twineham Benfield (in Twineham), Sussex to him. In 1253 the king granted him the cantred of the Isles of Thomon in Ireland. In 1254, at his instance, the king gave a charter to his nephew, Richard de la Rokele, for free warren in Richard's demesne lands in the counties of Kent, Wiltshire, and Essex, together with weekly markets and annual fairs at his manors of Wokenden, Essex and Marke Lavington, Wiltshire. SIR JOHN FITZ GEOFFREY died 23 Nov. 1258.

She was co-heiress in 1241 to her paternal grandfather, Walter de Lacy, Knt., by which she inherited half of the barony of Weobley, Herefordshire. She married (1st) before 15 March 1244 PETER (or PIERRE) OF GENEVA (or GENEVE), Governor of Windsor Castle, 1248-9, and, in right of his wife, of Ludlow, Shropshire, eldest son of Humbert, Count of Genevois.

They had eight sons, Geoffrey, Peter, Knt., Walter, John (or Jean), Simon, Nicholas, Peter (2nd of name), and William, and two daughters, Joan and Katherine [Prioress of Aconbury]. He arrived in England soon after 9 March 1250/1. In 1252 he and his wife, Maud, had livery of all the liberties and customs of Meath, which her grandfather, Walter de Lacy, had held. In 1254 they had livery of the Castle of Trim in Ireland, and a moiety of 40 marcates of land. The same year he was granted 50 livres toumois by the king to sustain him in the king's service. He was in Gascony with Edward the king's son in August 1255. In 1259 he and his wife, Maud, gave 40s. of annual rent from lands by Kenlis to Beaubec Abbey. In 1260 he partitioned the barony of Weobley, Herefordshire with his wife's brother-in-law, John de Verdun. He was summoned by the king to serve against the Welsh in 1260, 1276, and 1282. Following the capture of the Irish justidar in Dec. 1264, Geoffrey, who was already a member of the council in Ireland, assumed control of the government and secured reconciliation between the warring parties. In 1266 he and his wife, Maud, obtained permission from Gilles, Bishop of Toul, to found the collegiale of Vaucouleurs. The same year, with consent of his wife, he gave the affouage in the woods of Vaucouleurs for the house of Utigney, which Rieval Abbey possessed at Broussey-en-Blois. In 1267 he was appointed with Robert Walerand to treat of peace with Llywelyn ap Gruffudd of Wales. In 1267 he granted the manor of Stanton to his wife's aunt, Katherine de Lacy, for a term. The same year he and his wife, Maud, gave to the Prioress and Convent of Acombury a moiety of four mills in Ludlow, with the suits thereof, together with half a merk rent. In 1270 he accompanied Edward the king's son on crusade to the Holy Land. In 1270-1 he gave the Order of the Hospital of the Holy Spirit of Rome the "maison-dieu" of Vaucouleurs, together with 20 joumaux of arable land and four journaux of vignes. In 1272 he was summoned by the king of France against Roger-Bernard III, Count of Foix. He accompanied Prince Edward to the Holy Land but returned before him. He was made Justiciar of Ireland in October 1273, which office he held until 17 June 1276. In 1277-8 Katherine de Lacy arraigned an assize of novel dissseisin against him and Gilbert de Lacy regarding a tenement in Downton, Shropshire. In 1280 he and his wife, Maud, had attorneys nominated for them for three years, they then going to Lorraine. In 1280 he and Maurice de Craon rendered an account of their mission to the king of France on the subject of the peace concluded between the kings of England and Castile. In 1283 he and his wife, Maud, granted all their lands in England and Wales to their son, Peter. In 1287 he received letters of protection, he then being in Flanders in service to the king.

In 1294 the liberty of Trim, which had been taken into the king's hands, was restored to him. This liberty was soon afterwards taken again into the king's hands for Geoffrey's contempt in not executing the king's mandate concerning Nicholas Bacun, a prisoner in the gaol of the liberty. In 1295 the liberty of Trim was again restored to him, in consideration of his services in Welsh wars. In 1297 he was a commissioner on the king's part to settle the difficulties between the Constable and Marshal, which resulted in the king appointing him marshal and Thomas de Berkeley constable. In 1298 and 1299 he was sent to treat with the envoys of the King of France concerning peace. He was summoned to Parliament from 6 Feb. 1298/9 to 3 Nov. 1306, by writs directed Galfrido de Genevill', GEYnvill', and Gienvill', or the like, whereby he is held to have become Lord Geneville.

“GILBERT DE CLARE, Knt., 4th Earl of Hertford, Lord of Harfleur and Mostrevilliers in Normandy, 1202, son and heir, born about 1180. In 1211 he held 6-1/2 knights fees in Kent of his mother's maritagium. He and his father joined the confederacy of the barons against the king in 1215. He was as one of the twenty-five barons elected to guarantee the observance of Magna Carta, which King John signed 15 June 1215. In consequence he and his father were excommunicated by Pope Innocent III 16 Dec. 1215, but at this time, he was a party to the negotiations for peace. He had a safe-conduct from the king 9 Nov. 1215, which was repeated 27 March 1216, after the fall of Colchester. He fought on the side of Louis of France at the Battle of Lincoln 19 May 1217, and was taken prisoner by William Marshal, Earl of Pembroke. He was afterwards released, and his lands restored. He married 9 October 1217 ISABEL MARSHAL, 2nd 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]. She was born at Pembroke Castle 9 October 1200. They had three sons, Richard, Knt. [Earl of Gloucester and Hertford], William, Knt., and Gilbert, and three daughters, Amice, Agnes, and Isabel. He was recognized as Earl of Gloucester (in his mother's lifetime) in November 1217. In 1217 he gave the manor of Hambleden, Buckinghamshire to Milicent de Cantelowe for life in settlement of her other claims in dower on the estates of her former husband, Amaury, Count of Evreux (Gilbert's 1st cousin). In 1218 Hugh de Vivonne was ordered to give up the Forest of Keynsham to him. In July 1222 he was forbidden to attack the castle of Dinas Powys in Glamorgan. From this time forward he frequently attests royal grants. In 1223 he joined his brother-in-law, the Earl Marshal, in an expedition into Wales. Probably about 1223 he confirmed the grant of Hamo de Blean (alias Crevequer) to the Priory of St. Gregory, Clerkenwell. In 1224 the king ordered his bailiffs of Bristol to cause Earl Gilbert to have five tuns of the 40 tuns of wine that he lately took to the king's use in the vill of Bristol at the same market price. He was present in 1225 at the confirmation of Magna Carta by King Henry III. In 1227 he sued William de Similly for the manor of Princes Risborough, Buckinghamshire, which he claimed as his right. In 1227 he served as witness to the king's charter permitting the removal of the cathedral from Old to New Salisbury and confirming the same rights to the new city as Winchester enjoyed. The same year he supported Richard, Earl of Cornwall, against the king, with regard to the forest laws and the misgovernment of Hubert de Burgh. The king soon gave way to the barons' threats, and meeting them at Northampton in August, promised them satisfaction of their demands. In Sept. 1227 he was one of the nobles accredited to meet the princes of the Empire at Antwerp. He led an army against the Welsh in 1228 and captured Morgan Gam, who was released the following year. In Feb. 1228 he had a gift of 40 rafters in the wood of Auvour to house himself at Cranborne, Dorset. In 1228 he again led an army against the Welsh and discovered iron, lead, and silver mines in Wales. In Feb. 1230 he and William Earl Marshal were ordered to yield up to the Archdeacon of Llandaff all the possessions of the bishopric which they had taken on the bishop's death. Early in 1230 he crossed over into Brittany with the king, where he served as a commander in the royal army. SIR GILBERT DE CLARE, Earl of Gloucester and Hertford, died at Penros in that duchy 25 October 1230, and was buried 11 November 1230 before the high altar at Tewkesbury Abbey, Gloucestershire. His funeral was conducted with great state. He left two wills, one dated 30 April 1230, the other 23 October 1230, proved before Michaelmas, 1233. By the terms of his will, he left a gilt silver cross to Tewkesbury Abbey, as well as the wood of Mythe by Severn side during the minority of his son. His widow, Isabel, married (2nd) 30 March 1231 (as his 1st wife) RICHARD OF ENGLAND, Earl of Cornwall, Count of Poitou [see CORNWALL 6], Lieutenant of Guienne, 1226-7, Keeper of Castle and Honour of Wallingford, 1230-1, Lord of the Manor, Castle, and Honour of Knaresborough, 1235, Lord of the Manor and Castle of Lideford, 1239, Commander-in-Chief of the Crusaders, 1240-1, Privy Councillor, 1253, Joint Guardian of England, 1253-4, younger son of John, King of England, by his 2nd wife, Isabel, daughter of Ademar, Count of Angoulême [see ENGLAND 5 for his ancestry]. They had three sons, John, Henry, Knt., and Nicholas, and one daughter, Isabel. He was granted the borough of Wilton, Wiltshire by his brother, King Henry III, on the occasion of his marriage. In 1232-3 he fought in Wales against Llywelyn ap Iorwerth. In 1237 he openly rebuked his brother the king for his greed and maladmininistration. He was on an embassy to Emperor Frederick in 1237. By March 1233 he had driven Llywelyn back and strongly fortified Radnor Castle. His wife, Isabel, died testate at Berkhampstead, Hertfordshire in childbed of jaundice 17 Jan. 1239/40. Her body was buried at Beaulieu Abbey, Hampshire, her bowels went to Missenden, and her heart was sent to Tewkesbury Abbey for burial in her 1st husband's grave. In 1240 he left for the Holy Land on crusade, in the company of a large number of English knights and nobles. In 1241 negotiated a treaty with the sultan of Krak, by which many French captives were restored to liberty. He fought in Poitou in 1242-3. Richard married (2nd) at Westminster Abbey 23 Nov. 1243 SANCHE (or SANCHIA) OF PROVENCE, daughter and co-heiress of Raymond Berenger V, Count and Marquis of Provence, Count of Forcalquier, by Beatrice, daughter of Thomas (or Tommaso) I, Count of Savoy, Marquis in Italy. She was the sister of Eleanor of Provence, wife of his brother, King Henry III of England. She was born about 1225 at Aix-en-Provence. They had two sons, one unnamed and Edmund, Knt. [Earl of Cornwall]. In December 1243 the king demanded a written renunciation of any rights that Richard might possess in Ireland or Gascony, together with an explicit disclaimer of the award that had been made at Saintes. In return, Richard was confirmed in possession of Cornwall and of the honours of Wallingford and Eye. He was granted the honour of Bradninch, Devon in 1244. In 1246, together with King Henry III, he sought unsuccessfully to appose the efforts of Charles of Anjou, husband of Sanche's younger sister, Beatrice, to claim the entire dominion of Count Raymond Berengar V of Provence. He served as principal governor of the mint between 1247 and 1258, an office from which he derived considerable profit. He was Joint Plenipotentiary to France and Ambassador to Pope Innocent IV in 1250. He was elected King of the Romans (also styled King of Almain) 13 Jan. 1256/7, and was crowned at Aachen 17 May 1257. He failed to establish his authority in Germany, however, was soon dispossessed, and returned to England in Jan. 1259. In April 1261 he was elected senator of Rome for life, a purely honorary title which he made no attempt to exercise in person, and in which he was subsequently supplanted by Charles of Anjou. His wife, Sanche, died at Berkhampstead, Hertfordshire 9 Nov. 1261. In1263 he secured a temporary truce after war had broken out between his brother the king and the English barons. In 1264, when conflict became inevitable, he supported his brother. He was taken prisoner with his brother at the Battle of Lewes 14 May 1264. After the Battle of Evesham 4 August 1265, he was released and his lands restored. He married (3rd) at Kaiserslautern, Germany 16 June 1269 BEATRICE DE FALKENBURG (or FAUQUEMONT), daughter of Dietrich II de Falkenburg, seigneur of Montjoye, by Berta, daughter of Walram of Limburg, seigneur of Montjoye. They had no issue. By an unknown mistress (or mistresses), he had several illegitimate children, including Philip (clerk), Richard, Knt., and Walter, Knt. He purchased the honour of Trematon, Cornwall in 1270. RICHARD, King of the Romans, Earl of Cornwall, died testate at Berkhampstead, Hertfordshire 2 (or 3) April 1272, and was buried with his 2nd wife, Sanche, at Hailes Abbey, Gloucestershire, his heart being interred in the choir of the Franciscan church at Oxford. His widow, Beatrice, died testate 17 October 1277, and was buried before the high altar a the Friars Minors, Oxford.

The right arm, in mail, is extended backwards, and holds upright a long straight sword. Above the upper edge of the surcoat is seen the throat, closely fitted with mail, and on the head a flat-topped helmet. The left arm is covered with a heater shield, with conceals the breast and bears a lion rampant, with probably a border. The saddle is raised below and behind, and the two girths cross salute fashion under the horse's belly. Over the knight's right shoulder is a narrow embossed belt, for sword or dagger. The horse is cut with great freedom, and does not appear to be in armour. The legend is: `SIGIL[LUM RICARDI COMITIS CORNU]BIE.’ Upon the obverse is large, bold heater shield, about two inches high, bearing a lion rampant within a plain border, charged with fourteen roundels. Round and behind the shield is scroll work of an early English character. The legend, in place of the usual cross, commences with a crescent SIG[ILLVM] RICARDI COMITIS [CORN]UBIE.' It is remarkable that Richard did not bear the arms of England, but those of Poictou.

vi. GILBERT DE CLARE, 3rd son, born 12 Sept. 1229. In 1241 the abbot of Tewkesbury was permitted to present William de Staneway to the church of Great Marlow, Buckinghamshire, allowing Gilbert de Clare, a minor ["pupilli”], a pension of 16 marks in compensation for the benefice until other provisions could be made for him. In 1244, being then a resident of the diocese of Worcester, he was granted a papal dispensation at the request of his step-father, Richard, Earl of Cornwall, to hold beneficies to the yearly value of 300 silver marks.

2. “Royal Ancestry: A Study in Colonial & Medieval Families,” Douglas Richardson (2013):
“RICHARD DE CLARE, Knt, 3rd Earl of Hertford (also styled Earl of Clare), of Clare, Suffolk, son and heir. He married AMICE OF GLOUCESTER, daughter and co-heiress of William Fitz Robert, 2nd Earl of Gloucester, lord of Glamorgan and Caerleon, seigneur of Torigny in Manche, Normandy, etc., by Hawise, daughter of Robert of Meulan, Knt., 1st Earl of Leicester [see GLOUCESTER 4 for her ancestry]. Her maritagium included the town of Sudbury, Suffolk and 6- 1/2 knights fees in Kent. They had four sons, Gilbert, Knt. [Earl of Gloucester and Hertford], Richard, Roger, and Henry, and three daughters, Maud, Hawise, and [?Joan] (wife of Rhys Gryg, lord of Dynevor or Ystradtywi, Prince of South Wales). Sometime in or before 1172 he gave assent to the grant of his father, Earl Roger de Clare to the Hospital of St. John of Jerusalem of the advowson of Tonbridge, Kent. He and his father-in-law, William, Earl of Gloucester, were both suspected of complicity, if not direct involvement, in the rebellion of Earl Hugh le Bigod in 1173-4. Clare subsequently supported the king, when the king's son, Henry, rebelled against his father. In the period, 1185-4214, he gave the advowson of the church of Yalding with the chapel of Brenchley, Kent to the church of St. Mary Magdalene, Tonbridge, Kent. In 1188 he and Roger le Bigod, Earl of Norfolk, disputed for the honor of carrying the banner of St. Edmund in battle. He was present at the Coronation of King Richard I at Westminster in 1189. In 1191 he was one of the eleven appointed by the Chancellor to determined the questions between himself and Prince John. In 1193 he was enjoined by the Chancellor to accompany him on his return to King Richard, then a prisoner in Germany. In 1194/5 he had acquittance as being with the King in the army in Normandy. At the start of the reign of King Richard I the barony of Long Crendon, Buckinghamshire (which had escheated to the crown in 1164) was divided between him and William Marshal, Knt., later Earl of Pembroke. He had a grant from King John of a moiety of the Giffard estates in Normandy and England. In 1198 he excused himself from personal attendance on the king at Hertford. Sometime before Michaelmas 1198, Earl Richard and his wife, Amice, were separated by order of the Pope on grounds of consanguinity, at which date she claimed the town of Sudbury, Suffolk, which had been her marriage portion. They were evidently divorced by 1200, when Amice was styled "formerly the Countess of Clare." In 1202-3 she repeated her claim to the town of Sudbury, Suffolk, and, in 1205-7, she claimed the advowson of St. Gregories, Sudbury, Suffolk, which the Prioress of Eton said had been granted to Eton by Earl William, Amice's father. The issue of the validity of their marriage was presumably resolved, as Amice styled herself in later charters the "Countess of Clare." Regardless, they appeared to have been estranged at the time of Earl Richard's death, as her charters make no mention of her husband, but only their son and heir, Gilbert. In 1201 he paid £100 in order to obtain possession of the manor of Saham, Norfolk by writ of mort d'ancestor against Roger de Tony, but Tony subsequently recovered the manor. Sometime prior to 1206, he granted the church of Yalding, Kent with the chapelry of Brenchley to Tonbridge Priory. In 1211 Amice, Countess of Clare, offered 40 marks for the recovery of certain fees of which she had been disseised by Guy de Chanceaux. In 1214 the canons of Nutley Abbey secured the church of Bottesham, Cambridgeshire against Richard de Clare. He joined the confederacy of the barons against the king in 1215. He was one of the twenty-five barons elected to guarantee the observance of Magna Carta, which King John signed 15 June 1215. In consequence he was among the barons excommunicated by Pope Innocent III 16 Dec. 1215. On 9 Nov. 1215 he was one of the commissioners on the part of the Barons to treat of peace with the king. On returning to fealty 5 October 1217, he had restitution of his lands. On the death of her sister, Isabel, Countess of Gloucester (former wife of King John) in 1217, Amice became sole heir to their father, William, Earl of Gloucester. SIR RICHARD DE CLARE, Earl of Hertford, died between 30 October and 28 Nov. 1217. Following his death, Tonbridge Priory petitioned the bishop to grant indulgence "to all who pray for the soul of Sir Richard de Clare, formerly Earl of Hertford, whose body lies in the church of St. Mary Magdalen of Tonbridge, and the souls of all faithful departed deceased and those who have assisted in the building or upkeep of the lights, etc." of the church of St. Mary Magdalen in Tonbridge. His widow, Amice, caused the earl's body to be carried to Tewkesbury Abbey, Gloucestershire, where it was buried in the choir of the Abbey. In the period, 1217-23, in her widowhood ["viduitate mea”], she gave to Stoke by Clare Priory a messuage and possessions of the hospital of St. Sepulchre in Sudbury, Suffolk. In the period, 1217-36, Amice, Countess of Clare, in her widowhood ["viduitate mea”] confirmed grants made to Margam Abbey by her grandfather, Robert, Earl of Gloucester, and William, Earl of Gloucester. At an unknown date, Countess Amice founded the hospital of St. Sepulchre in Sudbury, Suffolk, as well as one dedicated to Jesus Christ and the Blessed Virgin Mary. At an unknown date, Amice granted Abraham Fitz Ralph of Thaxted three acres at Holgate in her fee at Sudbury, Suffolk at a yearly rent of 12d. Amice, Countess of Clare, allegedly died 1 January 1224/5.*
(* Note: C.P. 6 (1926): 503 (sub Hertford) says Amice de Clare, Countess of Hertford "is stated to have died 1 January 1224/5, before which date she appears to have been recognized as Countess of Gloucester." This statement regarding her being acknowledged Countess of Gloucester appears to be without foundation. In Amice's own charters which have survived and in contemporary records, she is styled solely as Countess of Clare (i.e., Hertford), and never as Countess of Gloucester [see, for instance, Dugdale Monasticon Anglicanum 6(3) (1830): 1658-1659 (charters of Amice, Countess of Clare, daughter of William Earl of Gloucester); Fry & Fry Abs. of Feet of Fines Rel. Dorset 1 (Dorset Rec. Soc. 5) (1896): 26; Clark Carke et Alia Munimenta de Glamorgancia 2 (1910): 358 (charter of Arnice, Countess of Clare, widow); Harper-Bill Stoke by Clare Cartulary 1 (Suffolk Charters 4) (1982): 41-48 (charters of Amice, Countess of Clare); Mortimer Charters of St. Bartholomerv's Priory (Suffolk Charters 15) (1996): 25-26 (charter of Amice, Countess of Clare)]. Rather, Dugdale Monasticon Anglicanum 1 (1817): 33 states that Amice's son and heir, Gilbert de Clare, took up the twin earldoms of Gloucester and Hertford in 1217, which occurred during his mother's lifetime. In Nov. 1217, shortly after the death of his aunt, Isabel, Countess of Gloucester, Gilbert confirmed several benefactions as Earl of Gloucester and Hertford [see Stevenson Durford Cartulary (Sussex Rec. Soc. 90) (2006): 811. In the same month there was a plea between Gilbert de Clare, Earl of Gloucester, and William de Cauntelo and his wife, Milicent, widow of Amaury, Count of Evreux. Livery of various lands was also ordered [see CP. 5 (1926): 694 (sub Gloucester)]. Gilbert certainly had possession of the Gloucester inheritance before 1220/1, when the Pipe Rolls sub Norfolk and Suffolk state that "Isti habunt quietancias per brevia ... Comes de Clara de 131 f etc." [see Great Roll of the Pipe Michaelmas 1221, cited in C.P. 6 (1926): 503, footnote c]. Presumably Amice was excluded from the Gloucester inheritance by the terms of her father's agreement with King Henry II in 1176, by which King Henry's son, John (later King John) was acknowledged as heir to William Earl of Gloucester (as future husband of his youngest daughter, Isabel); in return for this grant, the king agreed to give £100 yearly rental to Earl William's older daughters, Mabel and Amice [see Lambert Bletchingley A Parish Hist. 1 (1921): 53-54, 59, footnote 2].)

iii. ROGER DE CLARE, of Middleton, Norfolk, and, in right of his wife, of Norton, Suffolk, Chipstead, Surrey, and Southwick and Wickham, Sussex, younger son. Probably about 1223 he witnessed a confirmation charter of his brother, Earl Gilbert de Clare, to the priory of St. Gregory, Clerkenwell. In Feb. 1225 Roger had the grant of land in Ashingdon, Essex formerly belonging to John de Beauchamp, which land he restored in March 1225. In 1226 he received the grant of an annual fee of £25 from the Exchequer, on going to Gascony with Richard, Earl of Cornwall. In 1230 he was granted £15 in lands, and his annual wage accordingly reduced to £10. He married before Feb. 1231 ALICE DE DAMMARTIN, widow of John de Wauton (died shortly before Sept. 1230), of Walton-on-the Hill, Surrey, and daughter of Eudes Dammartin, of Strumpshaw, Norfolk, and Chipstead, Effingham, Mickleham, and Tandridge, Surrey, presumably by ___, sister of Richard de Lucy. They had no issue. His wife, Alice, was heiress in 1225 to her brother, Eudes de Dammartin. In 1232 he was one of those sent to accompany Margaret, Countess of Kent, to London. In March 1233 he had a gift of the king of two stags and ten hinds to be taken from his late brother, Earl Gilbert's park at Bletchingley, Surrey. He served in the Welsh campaign of 1233-4. In 1236 he had the gift of two stags from the king to be taken from his nephew, Earl Richard's park at Hundon, Suffolk. Before Jan. 1241 he left for the Holy Land, presumably in the English expedition led by Richard, Earl of Cornwall. In May 1241 his essoin in an action was adjourned for five weeks he then returning from the Holy Land. ROGER DE CLARE presumably died on the way home shortly before August 1241, when an order was issued to take his lands into the king's hands. In Jan. 1241/2 his widow, Alice, agreed to pay 200 marks to the king at the rate of £25 a year to have seisin of Roger's lands in Middleton, Norfolk, until his unnamed heirs were of age or married. She evidently died about 1255.

Children of [?Joan] de Clare, by Rhys Gryg:
a. MAREDUDD AP RHYS GRYG, of Dryslwyn and Llandovery, Carmarthenshire, younger son by his father's 2nd marriage, born in or before 1222. He married 1234/41 ___, niece of Gilbert Marshal, 7th Earl of Pembroke, hereditary Master Marshal of England, and granddaughter of William Marshal, Knt., 4th Earl of Pembroke, by Isabel, daughter of Richard de Clare. They had one son, Rhys, Knt. Sometime before 1241, he was granted the commotes of Ystlwyf and Newcastle Emlyn, Carmarthenshire by Gilbert Marshal, Earl of Pembroke. He was at variance with his nephew, Rhys Fychan ap Rhys Mechyll, during the greater part of their lives. He accompanied Llywelyn ap Gruffudd on his victorious expeditions of 1256, and was rewarded with grants of lands around Llanbadarn and Cantref Buellt. He took a leading part in the Welsh victory of Cymerau in 1257. In 1258 he went over to the English king, who conceded to him all the lands he then held, as well as lands belonging to his nephew, Rhys, in Mabuderith, Mabelneu, etc. In 1258 he concluded an alliance with Llywelyn ap Gruffudd. In 1259 he defected from Llywelyn, who had him imprisoned. Llywelyn demanded that he surrender Newcastle Emlyn and Dinefwr to him that year. Maredudd sided with the Welsh in 1261. In 1265-6 he was again taken into the English king's pay. MAREDUDD AP RHYS died at his castle at Dryslwyn, Carmarthenshire 22 July 1271, and was buried at Whitland Abbey.

Child of Maredudd ap Rhys Gryg, by ___, niece of Gilbert Marshal:
1) RHYS AP MAREDUDD, Knt., of Dryslwyn and Ystlwyf, Carmarthenshire, son and heir. He married by papal dispensation dated 10 Dec. 1283 (they being related in the 3rd and 4th degrees of kindred) ADA DE HASTINGS, daughter of Henry de Hastings, Knt., of Lidgate, Cavendish, Gazeley, Little Udeley, Rede, etc., Suffolk, Nailstone and Wistow, Leicestershire, Yardley Hastings, Northamptonshire, Aston (in Munslow), Shropshire, Fillongley, Warwickshire, etc., hereditary Steward of the liberty of Bury St. Edmunds Abbey, by Joan, daughter of William de Cantelowe, Knt. [see HASTINGS 9 for her ancestry]. Her maritagium included Emlyn Is Cuch (in the hundred of Cilgerran), Pembrokshire, and St. Clear's, Carmarthenshire. They had no issue. In the crisis of 1276-7, he confirmed his loyalty to King Edward I of England. The king granted him Dinefwr Castle, together with the commotes of Maenordeilo, Mallaen, Caeo, and Mabelfyw, all in Cantref Mawr; he was also granted the commotes of Gwynionydd and Mabwynion, Cardiganshire on a limited basis. In 1277, with the defeat of Prince Llywelyn, King Edward I retook possession of Dinefwr Castle and later reclaimed Maenordeilo. In 1282 Rhys was granted a yearly fair to be held at the manor of Dryslwyn. In 1282 Rhys was required to required to give up any formal claims to Dinefwr Castle; however, he was granted the lands of Rhys Wyndod in Caeo and Mallaen and given formal seisin of the commotes of Gwynionydd and Mabwynion, Cardiganshire. In 1285 he was granted a weekly market and yearly fair to be held at the manor of Lampeter, Cardiganshire. In June 1287 he rebelled against King Edward I of England and captured Dinefwr, Carreg Cennen, and Llandovery Castles. The king mustered a force of 22,000 men to meet the danger; by Sept. 1287 his castle of Dryslwyn had been captured. In Nov. 1287, however, Rhys renewed the struggle, moving to Carmarthenshire where he captured Newcastle Emlyn. He held out there against royalist forces until Jan. 1288, when the castle was taken. In 1290 his forfeited lands in Wales were granted to Robert de Tibetot, to hold until Easter next, and for the four years after. In 1290, having raised a new insurrection, Rhys was opposed by Robert de Tibetot, the king's justiciar. Four thousand Welshmen were slain and Rhys was taken prisoner. SIR RHYS AP MAREDUDD was tried at York soon after Michaelmas [29 Sept.] 1291 and there cruelly executed. On 14 June 1293 his widow, Ada, was allowed to retain all the lands which she held in her own right. Ada married (2nd) before 1306 (date of settlement) (as his 2nd wife) ROBERT DE CHAMPAINE (or CHAMPAYNE, CHAMPAGNE, CHAUMPAYNE), of Thurlaston and Wigston, Leicestershire, and Great Doddington, Northamptonshire, son and heir of Nicholas de Champaigne, of Great Doddington, Northamptonshire, by Joan, daughter and heir of Adam son of Philip, of Northampton. He was a minor in 1274, he already being married. By his previous marriage, he was the father of one son, Robert. In 1279-80 Robert de Skeftinton and Joan his wife arraigned an assize of novel disseisin against him and others touching a tenement in Great Doddington, Northamptonshire. In the same period, Isabel widow of Robert le Freman arraigned an assize of novel disseisin against hint and others touching a tenement in Great Doddington, Northamptonshire. In 1280-1 Michael Fitz Durand and Mabel his wife arraigned an assize of novel disseisin against Robert de Charnpaigne and Stephen de Ouensby regarding a tenement in Doddington, Northamptonshire.

In 1282 he remitted and quitclaimed to Devorguille of Gallloway, wife of John de Balliol, his right in the manor of Borgue in Galloway. He presented to the church of Thurlaston, Leicestershire in 1288. In 1296 an assize came to recognize whether Robert de Champaine, John de Champaine, and others disseised Robert Skeffington [step-father of Robert de Champaine] of his free tenements in Wigston, Leicestershire; the jury found in favor of Robert de Champaine. In 1301 he sued Thomas Skeffington regarding 11 messuages, 5 virgates of land, and 2s. of rent in Collingtree, Northamptonshire. His wife, Ada, died sometime before 1308-9. In 1313 Robert settled the manors of Thurleston, Leicestershire and Great Doddington, Northamptonshire on himself for life, with reversion to his son and heir, Robert de Champaine the younger, and his wife, Margaret. He married (3rd) MAUD ROBERT DE CHAMPAINE died shortly before 27 May 1315, when his widow, Maud, acknowledged that she owed a debt of £20 to Richer de Refham, to be levied, in default of payment, of her lands and chattels in Essex.

1. “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.

DUNCAN OF FIFE, 9th Earl of Fife, was murdered by Sir Patrick de Abernethy and others on the king's highway at Pitpollok 10 Sept. 1289, and was buried at Coupar Angus Abbey, Perthshire. 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." On 1 Nov. 1299 she granted John de Hastings, lord of Abergavenny, the manors of Clapthome, Northamptonshire, and Carlton fle Moorland], Lincolnshire, together with her lands in Scotland, namely Strazhurd, Kimile, and Loygiastre, Perthshire and Coull and Lumphanan, Aberdeenshire, to hold the said lands for the term of his life, paying to the said Joan £80 per year.

In 1316 King Edward II ordered Gervase and Joan to hand over various tenements in Carlton le Moorland, Lincolnshire to the Abbot of Thornton. In 1317 the king granted Hugh le Despenser the younger the manor of Glapthom, Northamptonshire, "which Gervase Avenel and Joan, his wife, and Douegal de Fyf, son of the said Joan, held of the inheritance of the said Joan, ... which was forfeited to the king because they lately adhered to his Scotch enemies." 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.]

He was knighted by the king 22 May 1306. In October 1306 his lands were ordered to be seized at the King's hands and his body to be arrested in consequence of his having absented himself from the King's army in Scotland without license. After the death of his mother in April 1307, he was styled Earl of Gloucester and Hertford. On 18 August 1307 all his lands in Wales were granted to him, and, on 28 Nov. following, he had livery of his father's lands, though still under age, and also had livery of his lands in London and others held in socage. Sometime in the period, 1307-11, Gilbert de Clare, Earl of Gloucester and Hertford, Henry de Lacy, Earl of Lincoln, and other earls and barons, while assembled in the Parliament in London, wrote to the Pope praying for the canonization of Thomas de Cantelowe, late Bishop of Hereford. He married at Waltham Abbey 29 Sept. 1308 MAUD DE BURGH, daughter of Richard de Burgh, Knt., 3rd Earl of Ulster, lord of Connacht, by his wife, Margaret [see BURGH 5 for her ancestry]. They had one son, John. He took no part in the disputes occasioned by the favors showered by his uncle, the King, on the king's favorite, Peter de Gavaston. In 1308 he was made chief Captain of the expedition into Scotland to relieve Rutherglen Castle in Scotland. He presented to the church of Rendcombe, Gloucestershire in 1308. He was forbidden to tourney in June 1309 and again in Jan. 1313. He was appointed one of the Lords Ordainer of Reform in 1310. In August 1310 he accompanied the King to Berwick. In 1310-11 he granted land at Deineck [?Deviockl, Cornwall for the use of poor students in the University of Oxford. In 1311 he was appointed Keeper of the Realm during the king's absence in Scotland. He was with the king in Scotland in April 1311, and in June was with him at Berwick.

In May 1313 he was again appointed regent during the king's absence in France. In 1314 he was going overseas on the king's service in the train of Queen Isabel on an embassy concerning Gascony. SIR GILBERT DE CLARE, Earl of Gloucester and Hertford, fought at the Battle of Bannockburn 24 June 1314, where he was slain while leading a fierce attack on the Scots. His body was buried at Tewkesbury Abbey, Gloucestershire at his father's right hand. His widow, Maud, presented to the church of Bletchingley, Surrey 4 July 1320.

ii. THOMAS DE MONTHERMER, Knt., 2nd Lord Monthermer, of Stokenham, Oakford, Sterte, and Pyworthy, Devon, Warblington, Hampshire, Eriestoke, Wiltshire, son and heir, born 4 October 1301, and was baptized by the Bishop of Llandaff 8 October 1301. He married after 23 July 1326 MARGARET DE BREWES, widow of Henry le Tyeys, Knt., 2nd Lord Tyeys, of Chilton Foliar, Draycot Foliar, and Lydiard Tregoze, Wiltshire, Noke, Oxfordshire, etc. (executed 3 April 1322) [see MONTAGU 5.ii.a], and daughter of Peter de Brewes, Knt., of Tetbury, Gloucestershire, Bidlington, Chesworth, Findon, Grinstead, Sedgwick, and Washington, Sussex, etc., by his wife, Agnes de Clifford [see TETBURY 9 for her ancestry]." They had one daughter, Margaret. He was not summoned to Parliament. He was knighted in 1327. He presented to the church of Stokenham, Devon in 1328. In 1329 he acknowledged that he owed the king 1,000 marks, to be levied, in default of payment, of his lands and chattels in Norfolk. He was pardoned in 1330 for adhering to Henry, Earl of Lancaster, and other rebels. He was one of the guardians of the coast against the Scots in July 1333. He was on commissions of array, etc., in Cornwall in 1336, and in Devon in 1338. He was heir in 1340 to his younger brother, Edward de Monthermer, Knt., Lord Monthermer, by which he inherited the manors of Lantyan, Cornwall, Hunton cm Crawley), Hampshire, and Erlestoke, Wiltshire. SIR THOMAS DE MONTHERMER, 2nd Lord Monthermer, died 24 June 1340, being slain at the Battle of Sluys. In March 1341 the king requested that his widow, Margaret, pay 100 marks a year to the Earl of Salisbury for the support of her daughter, Margaret de Monthermer, whose wardship the king has granted to him. 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. Wiltshire (Wiltshire Arch. & Nat. Hist. Soc. Recs. 1) (1939): 251. 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. IPM 9 (1916): nos. 344, 571; C.F.R. 6 (1921): 277; Abs. of IPM - Alice "Tyies," wife of Warin de Insula (see FHL Microfilm 917256)1.)
Child of Thomas de Monthermer, by Margaret de Brewes:
a. MARGARET DE MONTHERMER, married JOHN DE MONTAGU, Knt., Lord Montagu [see MONTAGU 8].
iii. EDWARD DE MONTHERMER, Knt., of Lantyan, Cornwall, Hunton (in Crawley) and Warblington, Hampshire, and Erlestoke, Wiltshire, younger son. 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. He died testate in early Dec. 1339, apparently unmarried, and was buried near his mother in the church of the Austin Friars at Clare, Suffolk. … [Source not transcribed.]”

2. “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. 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.

“ALAN DE PERCY, of Topcliffe, Yorkshire, son and heir. He married EMMA DE GANT (or GAUNT), daughter of Gilbert de Gant, of Folkingham, Lincolnshire, by Alice, daughter of Hugues, seigneur of Montfort-sur-Risle [see GANT 1 for ancestry]. Her maritagium included land in Wold Newton, Ganton, and Staxton, and presumably also in Horkstow, Lincolnshire. They had six sons, William, Walter, Geoffrey, Henry, Alan, and Robert, and one daughter. By an unknown mistress (or mistresses), he also had two illegitimate sons, Alan, Knt., and Geoffrey. His dispute with the bishop of Durham for lands in the soke of Welton was settled in 1100 by their restoration by King William II to the bishop. He confirmed his father's gifts to Whitby Abbey and made several additions, and was a benefactor of St. Peter's Hospital, York. In 1121 he was present at Durham with other magnates when the monks of Durham asserted their claim to the patronage of Tynemouth Priory. He witnessed notifications issued by King Henry I at Portsmouth, 1109-14, Winchester, 1115-16, and Rockingham, 1126-29. He and his son, William, gave land in Holme on the Wolds to Haslat de Leconfield. ALAN DE PERCY was living in 1130, and died not later than Dec. 1135. In Feb. 1135/6 King Stephen confirmed the benefactions made to Whitby Abbey by Alan de Percy and by his father, William de Percy. He was buried at Whitby Abbey. In 1140 his widow, Emma, quitclaimed to John, Abbot of Fountains, two bovates of land in Merston, Yorkshire. At an unknown date, she gave a carucate of land to Bridlington Priory, with the assent of her son, William.

“ISABEL (or ELIZABETH) DE VERMANDOIS, married (1st) in early 1096 ROBERT OF MEULAN (or DE BEAUMONT), Knt.,* Count of Meulan, seigneur of Beaumont, Pont-Audemer, Brionne, and Vatteville (all in Normandy), son and heir of Roger de Beaumont, seigneur of Pont Audemer, Brionne, la Haye-Aubrée, Sahuz, Tourville, Vieilles, etc., chatelain of Beaumont-le-Roger, by Adeline (or Aline), daughter of Waleran (or Galeran) [I], Count of Meulan. 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]. There is no evidence that either Robert or his male descendants used the name "de Beaumont" after the year 1082, when Robert first occurs as Robert, Count of Meulan.)

“ALAN DE PERCY, of Topcliffe, Yorkshire, son and heir. He married EMMA DE GANT (or GAUNT), daughter of Gilbert de Gant, of Folkingham, Lincolnshire, by Alice, daughter of Hugues, seigneur of Montfort-sur-Risle [see GANT 1 for ancestry]. Her maritagium included land in Wold Newton, Ganton, and Staxton, and presumably also in Horkstow, Lincolnshire. They had six sons, William, Walter, Geoffrey, Henry, Alan, and Robert, and one daughter. By an unknown mistress (or mistresses), he also had two illegitimate sons, Alan, Knt., and Geoffrey. His dispute with the bishop of Durham for lands in the soke of Welton was settled in 1100 by their restoration by King William II to the bishop. He confirmed his father's gifts to Whitby Abbey and made several additions, and was a benefactor of St. Peter's Hospital, York. In 1121 he was present at Durham with other magnates when the monks of Durham asserted their claim to the patronage of Tynemouth Priory. He witnessed notifications issued by King Henry I at Portsmouth, 1109-14, Winchester, 1115-16, and Rockingham, 1126-29. He and his son, William, gave land in Holme on the Wolds to Haslat de Leconfield. ALAN DE PERCY was living in 1130, and died not later than Dec. 1135. In Feb. 1135/6 King Stephen confirmed the benefactions made to Whitby Abbey by Alan de Percy and by his father, William de Percy. He was buried at Whitby Abbey. In 1140 his widow, Emma, quitclaimed to John, Abbot of Fountains, two bovates of land in Merston, Yorkshire. At an unknown date, she gave a carucate of land to Bridlington Priory, with the assent of her son, William.

“GILBERT FITZ RICHARD (also styled DE CLARE and DE TONBRIDGE), of Clare, Suffolk, Tonbridge, Kent, etc., born before 1066. He succeeded to the English possessions of his father. He married ALICE (or ADELICIA, ADELIZ, ADALICIA, ADELID, HADALAIDIS) DE CLERMONT, daughter of Hugues, seigneur of Clermont, Breuil-le-Vert, Creil, Luzarches, and Mouchy-Saint-Elou, by Marguerite, daughter of Hildouin de Rameru, Count of Montdidier and Roucy [see CLERMONT 1 for her ancestry]. They had four sons, Richard, Gilbert, Walter, and Baldwin, and four daughters, Rohese (or Rose), Avice, Margaret, and Alice. In 1088 he joined the revolt of Eudes, Bishop of Bayeux, and others against King William Rufus in favor of Robert Curthose. He was besieged at Tonbridge, Kent by the king, but wounded and forced to surrender. He was evidently pardoned, as he afterwards witnessed a number of royal charters. He founded the Priory of Clare in 1090. He served in the king's army in 1091. He was involved in a conspiracy with Robert de Mowbray and others to dethrone King William Rufus in 1095 but, joining the king's army, he informed on his fellow conspirators as the army moved to suppress Mowbray. He was once again pardoned, but does not reappear in the king's company. He was granted the lordship of Cardigan, 1107-11, by King Henry I. He raised an army and subdued the region, building castles at Castles of Aberystwyth and Llanbadarn. He was a patron of Bec, granting the collegiate church at Clare to be colonized by Benedictines from the Norman house, confirmed his mother's endowment of St. Neots. He also made grants to Lewes Priory from his Surrey lands and granted the church of Llanbadarn to Gloucester Abbey. At an unknown date, wife, Alice, founded an anniversary at the Priory of Saint-Leu d'Esserent for herself and for her parents, Hugues de Clermont and his wife, Marguerite. GILBERT FITZ RICHARD last appears * Westminster 16 September 1115. The Welsh annals note his death in 1117. His widow, Alice, married (2nd) before 1123 BOUCHARD DE MONTMORENCY. They had one son, Hervé de Montmorency [Constable of Ireland]. In the period, 1136-38, she confirmed in alms to Thorney Abbey, Cambridgshire the gift of a half a yardland and ten acres in Lowick and four yardlands in Rounds made by a certain Tovi.

It would be desirable to affiliate this wife of Gilbert more distinctly, by showing which of the Counts of Clermont was her father. According to Père Anselme (Hist. Généalogique) she was the daughter of Hugh, first Comte de Clermont en Beauvaisis, by his wife Marguerite de Rouey, daughter of Hildouin, fourth Comte de Rouey, and Alex. de Chastillon; but though he states this in the genealogy of Clare, he gives no such daughter to Count Hugh in that of Clermont, naming only three daughters, - 1, Ermentrude, wife of Hugh, Earl of Chester; 2, Richilde, wife of Dreux, second Seigneur de Mello; and 3, Emma, wife of Matthieu, first Comte de Beaumont sur l'Oise. The fact of her parentage depends, therefore, at present on the statement of Guillaume de Jumièges, and the authenticity of a note appended to her charter in the Register of Thorney Abbey, and thus printed by Dugdale: `Adelicia de Claramonte dicta (folio 11, cap. 9, parte 4).'

They had four sons, Richard, Gilbert, Walter, and Baldwin, and four daughters, Rohese (or Rose), Avice, Margaret, and Alice. In 1088 he joined the revolt of Eudes, Bishop of Bayeux, and others against King William Rufus in favor of Robert Curthose. He was besieged at Tonbridge, Kent by the king, but wounded and forced to surrender. He was evidently pardoned, as he afterwards witnessed a number of royal charters. He founded the Priory of Clare in 1090. He served in the king's army in 1091. He was involved in a conspiracy with Robert de Mowbray and others to dethrone King William Rufus in 1095 but, joining the king's army, he informed on his fellow conspirators as the army moved to suppress Mowbray. He was once again pardoned, but does not reappear in the king's company. He was granted the lordship of Cardigan, 1107-11, by King Henry I. He raised an army and subdued the region, building castles at Castles of Aberystwyth and Llanbadarn. He was a patron of Bec, granting the collegiate church at Clare to be colonized by Benedictines from the Norman house, confirmed his mother's endowment of St. Neots. He also made grants to Lewes Priory from his Surrey lands and granted the church of Llanbadarn to Gloucester Abbey. At an unknown date, wife, Alice, founded an anniversary at the Priory of Saint-Leu d'Esserent for herself and for her parents, Hugues de Clermont and his wife, Marguerite. GILBERT FITZ RICHARD last appears * Westminster 16 September 1115. The Welsh annals note his death in 1117. His widow, Alice, married (2nd) before 1123 BOUCHARD DE MONTMORENCY. They had one son, Hervé de Montmorency [Constable of Ireland]. In the period, 1136-38, she confirmed in alms to Thorney Abbey, Cambridgshire the gift of a half a yardland and ten acres in Lowick and four yardlands in Rounds made by a certain Tovi.

The fact of her parentage depends, therefore, at present on the statement of Guillaume de Jumièges, and the authenticity of a note appended to her charter in the Register of Thorney Abbey, and thus printed by Dugdale: `Adelicia de Claramonte dicta (folio 11, cap. 9, parte 4).'

“GILBERT FITZ RICHARD (also styled DE CLARE and DE TONBRIDGE), of Clare, Suffolk, Tonbridge, Kent, etc., born before 1066. He succeeded to the English possessions of his father. He married ALICE (or ADELICIA, ADELIZ, ADALICIA, ADELID, HADALAIDIS) DE CLERMONT, daughter of Hugues, seigneur of Clermont, Breuil-le-Vert, Creil, Luzarches, and Mouchy-Saint-Elou, by Marguerite, daughter of Hildouin de Rameru, Count of Montdidier and Roucy [see CLERMONT 1 for her ancestry]. They had four sons, Richard, Gilbert, Walter, and Baldwin, and four daughters, Rohese (or Rose), Avice, Margaret, and Alice. In 1088 he joined the revolt of Eudes, Bishop of Bayeux, and others against King William Rufus in favor of Robert Curthose. He was besieged at Tonbridge, Kent by the king, but wounded and forced to surrender. He was evidently pardoned, as he afterwards witnessed a number of royal charters. He founded the Priory of Clare in 1090. He served in the king's army in 1091. He was involved in a conspiracy with Robert de Mowbray and others to dethrone King William Rufus in 1095 but, joining the king's army, he informed on his fellow conspirators as the army moved to suppress Mowbray. He was once again pardoned, but does not reappear in the king's company. He was granted the lordship of Cardigan, 1107-11, by King Henry I. He raised an army and subdued the region, building castles at Castles of Aberystwyth and Llanbadarn. He was a patron of Bec, granting the collegiate church at Clare to be colonized by Benedictines from the Norman house, confirmed his mother's endowment of St. Neots. He also made grants to Lewes Priory from his Surrey lands and granted the church of Llanbadarn to Gloucester Abbey. At an unknown date, wife, Alice, founded an anniversary at the Priory of Saint-Leu d'Esserent for herself and for her parents, Hugues de Clermont and his wife, Marguerite. GILBERT FITZ RICHARD last appears * Westminster 16 September 1115. The Welsh annals note his death in 1117. His widow, Alice, married (2nd) before 1123 BOUCHARD DE MONTMORENCY. They had one son, Hervé de Montmorency [Constable of Ireland]. In the period, 1136-38, she confirmed in alms to Thorney Abbey, Cambridgshire the gift of a half a yardland and ten acres in Lowick and four yardlands in Rounds made by a certain Tovi.

He witnessed a grant of his father, Renaud, to Fécamp Abbey. At an unknown date, as "Hugues, son of Renaud the Chamberlain," he granted the monks of Fécamp free passage of their ships through Creil. Sometime after 1067 he approved the gift to Engelard, abbot of St. Martin des Champs, by his cousin Waleran the Chamberlain, of half of the land of Rungis. In the period, 1096-99, he gave the Abbey of Saint-Germer-de-Flay the church of Breuil-le-Vert and the tithes of Villiers-St.-Leu. HUGUES, seigneur of Clermont, died between 1101 and 1103. Following his death, his daughter, Alice, wife of Gilbert de Clare, styled "daughter of Hugues de Clermont," founded an anniversary at the Priory of Saint-Leu d'Esserent for herself and for her parents, Hugues and Marguerite.

1. “Royal Ancestry: A Study in Colonial & Medieval Families,” Douglas Richardson (2013):
“GILBERT FITZ RICHARD (also styled DE CLARE and DE TONBRIDGE), of Clare, Suffolk, Tonbridge, Kent, etc., born before 1066. He succeeded to the English possessions of his father. He married ALICE (or ADELICIA, ADELIZ, ADALICIA, ADELID, HADALAIDIS) DE CLERMONT, daughter of Hugues, seigneur of Clermont, Breuil-le-Vert, Creil, Luzarches, and Mouchy-Saint-Elou, by Marguerite, daughter of Hildouin de Rameru, Count of Montdidier and Roucy [see CLERMONT 1 for her ancestry]. They had four sons, Richard, Gilbert, Walter, and Baldwin, and four daughters, Rohese (or Rose), Avice, Margaret, and Alice. In 1088 he joined the revolt of Eudes, Bishop of Bayeux, and others against King William Rufus in favor of Robert Curthose. He was besieged at Tonbridge, Kent by the king, but wounded and forced to surrender. He was evidently pardoned, as he afterwards witnessed a number of royal charters. He founded the Priory of Clare in 1090. He served in the king's army in 1091. He was involved in a conspiracy with Robert de Mowbray and others to dethrone King William Rufus in 1095 but, joining the king's army, he informed on his fellow conspirators as the army moved to suppress Mowbray. He was once again pardoned, but does not reappear in the king's company. He was granted the lordship of Cardigan, 1107-11, by King Henry I. He raised an army and subdued the region, building castles at Castles of Aberystwyth and Llanbadarn. He was a patron of Bec, granting the collegiate church at Clare to be colonized by Benedictines from the Norman house, confirmed his mother's endowment of St. Neots. He also made grants to Lewes Priory from his Surrey lands and granted the church of Llanbadarn to Gloucester Abbey. At an unknown date, wife, Alice, founded an anniversary at the Priory of Saint-Leu d'Esserent for herself and for her parents, Hugues de Clermont and his wife, Marguerite. GILBERT FITZ RICHARD last appears * Westminster 16 September 1115. The Welsh annals note his death in 1117. His widow, Alice, married (2nd) before 1123 BOUCHARD DE MONTMORENCY. They had one son, Hervé de Montmorency [Constable of Ireland]. In the period, 1136-38, she confirmed in alms to Thorney Abbey, Cambridgshire the gift of a half a yardland and ten acres in Lowick and four yardlands in Rounds made by a certain Tovi.

It would be desirable to affiliate this wife of Gilbert more distinctly, by showing which of the Counts of Clermont was her father. According to Père Anselme (Hist. Généalogique) she was the daughter of Hugh, first Comte de Clermont en Beauvaisis, by his wife Marguerite de Rouey, daughter of Hildouin, fourth Comte de Rouey, and Alex. de Chastillon; but though he states this in the genealogy of Clare, he gives no such daughter to Count Hugh in that of Clermont, naming only three daughters, - 1, Ermentrude, wife of Hugh, Earl of Chester; 2, Richilde, wife of Dreux, second Seigneur de Mello; and 3, Emma, wife of Matthieu, first Comte de Beaumont sur l'Oise. The fact of her parentage depends, therefore, at present on the statement of Guillaume de Jumièges, and the authenticity of a note appended to her charter in the Register of Thorney Abbey, and thus printed by Dugdale: `Adelicia de Claramonte dicta (folio 11, cap. 9, parte 4).'

“RICHARD FITZ GILBERT, of Bienfaite and Orbec, Normandy, lord of Clare, Suffolk, Tonbridge, Kent, Standon, Hertfordshire, Blechingley, Surrey, etc., son of Gilbert Fitz Godfrey, Count of Brionne, born about 1030-35. He married ROHESE (or ROHAIS, ROHAID, ROAXIDIS) GIFFARD, daughter of Walter Giffard, of Longueville-sur-Scie (Seine-Maritime), Normandy, Long Crendon, Buckinghamshire, etc., by Agnes, daughter of Gerard Flaitel (or Fleitel). They had six sons, Roger, Gilbert, Walter, Richard [Abbot of Ely], Robert, and Godfrey, and four daughters, Rohese, Alice (wife of Walter Tirel), and Avice. He was among those consulted about the proposed invasion of England in the assembly at Bonneville-sur-Touques in 1066, but there is no direct evidence of his personal participation at Hastings or in the campaign. Nevertheless, he was a significant figure soon afterwards and occurs as a witness of royal charters throughout the reign of King William the Conqueror. He was rewarded with no fewer than 176 lordships, which consisted of two concentrations of lands, one in Kent and Surrey, and the other in Suffolk and Essex. His holdings at Tonbridge, Kent and Clare, Suffolk were both given motte and bailey castles. During the king's absence, he served as Joint Chief Justiciar. He played a leading role in suppressing the rebellion of Roger de Breteuil, Earl of Hereford and Ralph de Gael in 1075 or 1076. In 1078 or 1079 he and his wife, Rohese, sent to Bec Abbey for a colony of monks to replenish the vacant convent at Neotsbury, Huntingdonshire. Sometime before 1086 he granted the monks of Bec his manors of Tooting and Streatham, and land in Horsham (in Walton-on-Thames), all in Surrey. Sometime before 1090 he confirmed to the monks of Bec two thirds of his demesne tithes and one villain in Standon, Hertfordshire; and two thirds of his demesne tithes in Blechingley, Chivington, Woodmansteme, Tolworth, Chipstead, Betchworth, and Walton Leigh, Surrey and houses in Southwark, Surrey and Tonbridge, Kent. RICHARD FITZ GILBERT died about 1090, and was buried at St. Neots, Huntingdonshire. His widow, Rohese, was still living in 1113, when she granted the whole of her manor of Eynesbury, Huntingdonshire to St. Neot's Priory, Huntingdonshire.

He witnessed a grant of his father, Renaud, to Fécamp Abbey. At an unknown date, as "Hugues, son of Renaud the Chamberlain," he granted the monks of Fécamp free passage of their ships through Creil. Sometime after 1067 he approved the gift to Engelard, abbot of St. Martin des Champs, by his cousin Waleran the Chamberlain, of half of the land of Rungis. In the period, 1096-99, he gave the Abbey of Saint-Germer-de-Flay the church of Breuil-le-Vert and the tithes of Villiers-St.-Leu. HUGUES, seigneur of Clermont, died between 1101 and 1103. Following his death, his daughter, Alice, wife of Gilbert de Clare, styled "daughter of Hugues de Clermont," founded an anniversary at the Priory of Saint-Leu d'Esserent for herself and for her parents, Hugues and Marguerite.

“GILBERT FITZ RICHARD (also styled DE CLARE and DE TONBRIDGE), of Clare, Suffolk, Tonbridge, Kent, etc., born before 1066. He succeeded to the English possessions of his father. He married ALICE (or ADELICIA, ADELIZ, ADALICIA, ADELID, HADALAIDIS) DE CLERMONT, daughter of Hugues, seigneur of Clermont, Breuil-le-Vert, Creil, Luzarches, and Mouchy-Saint-Elou, by Marguerite, daughter of Hildouin de Rameru, Count of Montdidier and Roucy [see CLERMONT 1 for her ancestry]. They had four sons, Richard, Gilbert, Walter, and Baldwin, and four daughters, Rohese (or Rose), Avice, Margaret, and Alice. In 1088 he joined the revolt of Eudes, Bishop of Bayeux, and others against King William Rufus in favor of Robert Curthose. He was besieged at Tonbridge, Kent by the king, but wounded and forced to surrender. He was evidently pardoned, as he afterwards witnessed a number of royal charters. He founded the Priory of Clare in 1090. He served in the king's army in 1091. He was involved in a conspiracy with Robert de Mowbray and others to dethrone King William Rufus in 1095 but, joining the king's army, he informed on his fellow conspirators as the army moved to suppress Mowbray. He was once again pardoned, but does not reappear in the king's company. He was granted the lordship of Cardigan, 1107-11, by King Henry I. He raised an army and subdued the region, building castles at Castles of Aberystwyth and Llanbadarn. He was a patron of Bec, granting the collegiate church at Clare to be colonized by Benedictines from the Norman house, confirmed his mother's endowment of St. Neots. He also made grants to Lewes Priory from his Surrey lands and granted the church of Llanbadarn to Gloucester Abbey. At an unknown date, wife, Alice, founded an anniversary at the Priory of Saint-Leu d'Esserent for herself and for her parents, Hugues de Clermont and his wife, Marguerite. GILBERT FITZ RICHARD last appears * Westminster 16 September 1115. The Welsh annals note his death in 1117. His widow, Alice, married (2nd) before 1123 BOUCHARD DE MONTMORENCY. They had one son, Hervé de Montmorency [Constable of Ireland]. In the period, 1136-38, she confirmed in alms to Thorney Abbey, Cambridgshire the gift of a half a yardland and ten acres in Lowick and four yardlands in Rounds made by a certain Tovi.

Assoc. 26 (1870): 149-160 ("The first of the Clares who wrote himself Earl of Hertford is said to have been Richard, eldest son of Gilbert de Tonbridge, by his wife Adeliza, who is stated by Guillaume de Jumièges to have been the daughter of a Comte de Clermont ... It would be desirable to affiliate this wife of Gilbert more distinctly, by showing which of the Counts of Clermont was her father. According to Père Anselme (Hist. Généalogique) she was the daughter of Hugh, first Comte de Clermont en Beauvaisis, by his wife Marguerite de Rouey, daughter of Hildouin, fourth Comte de Rouey, and Alex. de Chastillon; but though he states this in the genealogy of Clare, he gives no such daughter to Count Hugh in that of Clermont, naming only three daughters, - 1, Ermentrude, wife of Hugh, Earl of Chester; 2, Richilde, wife of Dreux, second Seigneur de Mello; and 3, Emma, wife of Matthieu, first Comte de Beaumont sur l'Oise. The fact of her parentage depends, therefore, at present on the statement of Guillaume de Jumièges, and the authenticity of a note appended to her charter in the Register of Thorney Abbey, and thus printed by Dugdale: `Adelicia de Claramonte dicta (folio 11, cap. 9, parte 4).'

He gave the church of Topcliffe, Yorkshire to St. Peter's York for the work of repair and building. WILLIAM DE PERCY was living in the year ending at Michaelmas 1170, and almost certainly in that ending at Michaelmas 1175, when Helte de Boisdele owed 100s. in Lincolnshire for the light of 2 knights' fees which he claimed against him. At his death, he was buried at Fountains Abbey. His widow, Sibyl, married (3rd) about 1182 RALPH D'AUBENEY, of Aubourn and Binbrook, Lincolnshire. RALPH D'AUBENEY died before Michaelmas 1192. His widow, Sibyl, was living in 1212. At her death, she was buried at Nun Appleton Priory, Yorkshire.

He is said to have married ANNE LE BOTELER, daughter of William le Boteler, of Oversley, Warwickshire, Dodington and Loppington, Shropshire, by Ankaret, daughter of Gruffudd ap Madoc [see OVERSLEY 9 for her ancestry]. He took part in the expedition to Scotland in 1293. He presented to the church of Credenhill, Herefordshire in 1307, 1308, and 1313. In 1313 he was among those who were pardoned for their part in the death of Peter de Gavaston, Earl of Cornwall. In 1322 he joined the barons confederated against the Despensers. He was captured at the Battle of Boroughbridge 16 March 1321/2. He was subsequently allowed to purchase his pardon 1 Nov. 1322 by a fine of £2000, and a promise of one tun of wine annually to the king. As a further condition of his pardon, he was summoned to perform service in Guienne in 1325. After the overthrow of King Edward II in 1327, he appears as Lord Chamberlain. In 1328 he was granted free warren in his demesne lands of Eccleswall (in Linton) and Credenhill, Herefordshire, and Longhope, Gloucestershire. He accompanied King Edward III on his voyage to do homage for his French possessions in 1329. He was summoned to Parliament from 27 Jan. 1331/2 by writs directed Gilberto Talbot, whereby he is held to have become Lord Talbot. In May 1334 he complained that Henry de Yanesore, Henry de Brunshope, and several others broke his park at Credenhill, Herefordshire, hunted there, and carried away deer. In 1337 he was appointed with Hugh le Despenser captain of the men raised for the wars in South Wales. SIR GILBERT TALBOT, 1st Lord Talbot, died at Eccleswall, Herefordshire 24 Feb. 1345/6.
