1. “Royal Ancestry: A Study in Colonial & Medieval Families,” Douglas Richardson (2013):
“HUGH, 6th Earl of Chester, hereditary Vicomte of Avranches in Normandy, seigneur of Saint Sever and Briquessart, son and heir, born about 1141 (of age in 1162). He is sometimes called Hugh of Cyfeiliog, because, according to a late writer, he was born in that district of Wales. According to the chronicler, John of Hexham, it was agreed at Carlisle in 1150 that a son of Ranulph, Earl of Chester, should marry one of the daughters of Henry, son of the king of Scotland. The son of Earl Ranulph was presumably his eldest son, Hugh. The projected marriage never took place. In the period, 1154-7, Earl Hugh and his mother, Countess Maud, gave Styvechale (south of Coventry) to Walter, Bishop of Chester, and his successors for the absolution of Hugh's father, Lord Earl Ranulph, and the redemption of his soul and that of his ancestors. Sometime in the period, 1155- 63, the king ordered Earl Hugh and his mother, Countess Maud, to give to the Abbot and monks of Gloucester the rents which Hugh's father, Earl Ranulph, gave them in the mills of Oldney and Tadwell. He was present in 1163 at Dover for King Henry II's renewal of the Flemish money fief, and also attended the Council of Clarendon in January 1164. Sometime in the period, 1166-87, he confirmed the former grant made to Saint-Etienne Abbey, Caen by Ranulph, Vicomte of Bayeux, his ancestor, of all the land the said Ranulph possessed at Bretteville-l'Orgueilleuse. He married in 1169 BERTRADE DE MONTFORT, daughter of Simon de Montfort, Count of Evreux, seigneur of Montfort-l'Amaury, by his wife, Maud. She was born about 1156 (aged 29 in 1185). They had one son, Ranulph, Knt. [Earl of Chester and Lincoln], and five daughters, Maud, Mabel, Agnes, Hawise, and (wife of Llywelyn ap Iorwerth, Prince of North Wales). By an unknown mistress (or mistresses), he also had two illegitimate sons, William (or Pain) (of Milton), and Roger, and one illegitimate daughter, Amice. Hugh joined the rebellion of King Henry II's sons in 1173. He was captured by King Henry II at Dol in August 1173. In 1174 he was deprived of his lands for rebellion. He was subsequently regranted his honours and lands at the Council of Northampton in 1177. In March 1178 he witnessed King Henry II's award in the dispute between Alfonso IX, King of Castile, and Sancho V, King of Navarre. During his lifetime, he granted some lands in the Wirral to the Abbey of St. Werburgh, Chester, and made other special gifts to Stanlow Priory, St Mary's, Coventry, and the nuns of Buffington and Greenfield priories. He also confirmed his mother's grants to her foundation of Augustinian canons at Calke, Derbyshire, and those of his father to his convent of the Benedictine nuns of St Mary's, Chester. In 1171 he confirmed the grants of his father to the Abbey of St. Stephen in the diocese of Bayeux. He likewise granted the church of Belchford, Lincolnshire to Trentham Priory, and the church of Combe, Gloucestershire to the Abbey of Bordesley, Warwickshire. HUGH, Earl of Chester, died at Leek, Staffordshire 30 June 1181, and was buried next to his father in the chapter house of St Werburgh's, Chester. Sometime in the period, 1188-99, his widow, Bertrade, witnessed a charter of her son, Ranulph, Earl of Chester. In the period, 1190-1200, she reached agreement with the abbot and convent of Troarn in Normandy regarding the construction of a mill and fishpond on the boundary between her wood and theirs. Sometime before 1194-1203, she exchanged lands with the canons of Repton. Sometime in the period, 1200-10, she granted to Ralph Carbonel, of Halton, Lincolnshire, for his homage and service a half a knight's fee which he held of the said countess in Halton. In 1223 Richard Duket and Simon de Sees brought a plea of novel disseisin against her touching a tenement in Harmston, Lincolnshire. In 1226 she presented to the church of Waddington, Lincolnshire. In 1227 she arraigned an assize of last presentation to the church of Waddington, Lincolnshire against the abbot of St. Sever. Bertrade, Countess of Chester, died in 1227, after 31 March.

Children of Hugh, Earl of Chester, by Bertrade de Montfort:
i. RANULPH, Knt., Earl of Chester, Vicomte of Avranches in Normandy, Judge in the King's Court, 1193, Constable of Sermilly Castle, 1201-4, Constable of the Tower of Avranches, 1203, Governor of the Peak Castle and Forest, 1215, Sheriff of Lancashire, 1216-22, Sheriff of Shropshire and Staffordshire, 1216,1217-23, Steward of the Town and Honour of Lancaster, 1216-23, Constable of Fotheringay Castle, 1221-2, Steward of the Honour of Leicester, 1222, and, in right of his 1st wife, Duke of Brittany, Earl of Richmond, son and heir, born at Oswestry in Powys c.1172. He was knighted by the king at Caen 1 Jan. 1187/8. He married (1st) 3 Feb. 1187/8 (or 1189) CONSTANCE OF BRITTANY [see BRITTANY 6], widow of Geoffrey of England, Duke of Brittany, Earl of Richmond (killed in a tournament at Paris 19 August 1186) [see ENGLAND 4.v], and daughter and heiress of Conan IV le Petit, Duke of Brittany, Earl of Richmond, by Margaret, daughter of Henry of Scotland, Earl of Northumberland [see BRITTANY 5 for her ancestry]. She was born about 1162. They had no issue. In 1194 he was commander of the forces for King Richard I. He took part in the second Coronation of King Richard I, which was solemnised in Winchester Cathedral 17 April 1194. In 1196 Ranulph captured his wife, Constance, en route to her finalizing negotiations with King Richard I and confined her at Benvron for at least a year. Soon after her release, she sought the annulment of their marriage, which was granted in 1199, presumably on grounds on consanguinity; she subsequently married (3rd) before October 1199 (as his 1st wife) GUY DE THOUARS, in right of his 1st wife, Count (or Duke) of Brittany, Earl of Richmond [see BRITTANY 6]. Constance died testate at Nantes 4 (or 5) Sept. 1201. Ranulph married (2nd) before 7 October 1200 CLEMENCE DE FOUGERES, widow of Main de Vitre (or Dinan) (died 1198), seigneur of Dinan, and daughter of Guillaume de Fougères, seigneur of Fougères, by Agatha, daughter of Guillaume du Hommet, Constable of Normandy [see FOUGERES 5 for her ancestry]. Her maritagium included land in the valley of Mortain. They had no issue. He was engaged in warfare with the Welsh from 1209 to 1214. He was faithful to King John against the rebellious Barons. He was one of the executors of King John who died 19 October 1216; and one of most zealous supporters of the young king, Henry III. In 1217, as Joint Commander of the royal army, he contributed to the defeat of the rebels under the Count of Perche. He was created Earl of Lincoln 23 May 1217. He went on crusade to the Holy Land in May 1218, and distinguished himself at the Siege of Damietta. He returned to England in August 1220. In 1223 he was required to surrender his castles. In 1229 he opposed in Parliament the grant of a tenth to the Pope, and forbade its collection in his own domain. In 1229 Earl Ranulph granted tithes in Wilsford, Wiltshire, formerly held of the Earl of Lincoln, to Roger, Succentor of Salisbury. He served as Chief Commander of the royal troops in Brittany, 1230-1, and in June 1231 was a Joint Commissioner to treat with France. Sometime between April 1231 and his death, he resigned the earldom of Lincoln to his sister, Hawise de Quincy. RANULPH, Earl of Chester, died at Wallingford 28 October 1232, and was buried at St. Werburg's, Chester, his heart being interred at Dieulacres Abbey. His widow, Clemence, died in 1252. Sandford Gen.

Children of Hugh, Earl of Chester, by Bertrade de Montfort:
i. RANULPH, Knt., Earl of Chester, Vicomte of Avranches in Normandy, Judge in the King's Court, 1193, Constable of Sermilly Castle, 1201-4, Constable of the Tower of Avranches, 1203, Governor of the Peak Castle and Forest, 1215, Sheriff of Lancashire, 1216-22, Sheriff of Shropshire and Staffordshire, 1216,1217-23, Steward of the Town and Honour of Lancaster, 1216-23, Constable of Fotheringay Castle, 1221-2, Steward of the Honour of Leicester, 1222, and, in right of his 1st wife, Duke of Brittany, Earl of Richmond, son and heir, born at Oswestry in Powys c.1172. He was knighted by the king at Caen 1 Jan. 1187/8. He married (1st) 3 Feb. 1187/8 (or 1189) CONSTANCE OF BRITTANY [see BRITTANY 6], widow of Geoffrey of England, Duke of Brittany, Earl of Richmond (killed in a tournament at Paris 19 August 1186) [see ENGLAND 4.v], and daughter and heiress of Conan IV le Petit, Duke of Brittany, Earl of Richmond, by Margaret, daughter of Henry of Scotland, Earl of Northumberland [see BRITTANY 5 for her ancestry]. She was born about 1162. They had no issue. In 1194 he was commander of the forces for King Richard I. He took part in the second Coronation of King Richard I, which was solemnised in Winchester Cathedral 17 April 1194. In 1196 Ranulph captured his wife, Constance, en route to her finalizing negotiations with King Richard I and confined her at Benvron for at least a year. Soon after her release, she sought the annulment of their marriage, which was granted in 1199, presumably on grounds on consanguinity; she subsequently married (3rd) before October 1199 (as his 1st wife) GUY DE THOUARS, in right of his 1st wife, Count (or Duke) of Brittany, Earl of Richmond [see BRITTANY 6]. Constance died testate at Nantes 4 (or 5) Sept. 1201. Ranulph married (2nd) before 7 October 1200 CLEMENCE DE FOUGERES, widow of Main de Vitre (or Dinan) (died 1198), seigneur of Dinan, and daughter of Guillaume de Fougères, seigneur of Fougères, by Agatha, daughter of Guillaume du Hommet, Constable of Normandy [see FOUGERES 5 for her ancestry]. Her maritagium included land in the valley of Mortain. They had no issue. He was engaged in warfare with the Welsh from 1209 to 1214. He was faithful to King John against the rebellious Barons. He was one of the executors of King John who died 19 October 1216; and one of most zealous supporters of the young king, Henry III. In 1217, as Joint Commander of the royal army, he contributed to the defeat of the rebels under the Count of Perche. He was created Earl of Lincoln 23 May 1217. He went on crusade to the Holy Land in May 1218, and distinguished himself at the Siege of Damietta. He returned to England in August 1220. In 1223 he was required to surrender his castles. In 1229 he opposed in Parliament the grant of a tenth to the Pope, and forbade its collection in his own domain. In 1229 Earl Ranulph granted tithes in Wilsford, Wiltshire, formerly held of the Earl of Lincoln, to Roger, Succentor of Salisbury. He served as Chief Commander of the royal troops in Brittany, 1230-1, and in June 1231 was a Joint Commissioner to treat with France. Sometime between April 1231 and his death, he resigned the earldom of Lincoln to his sister, Hawise de Quincy. RANULPH, Earl of Chester, died at Wallingford 28 October 1232, and was buried at St. Werburg's, Chester, his heart being interred at Dieulacres Abbey. His widow, Clemence, died in 1252. Sandford Gen.

1. “Royal Ancestry: A Study in Colonial & Medieval Families,” Douglas Richardson (2013):
“HUGH, 6th Earl of Chester, hereditary Vicomte of Avranches in Normandy, seigneur of Saint Sever and Briquessart, son and heir, born about 1141 (of age in 1162). He is sometimes called Hugh of Cyfeiliog, because, according to a late writer, he was born in that district of Wales. According to the chronicler, John of Hexham, it was agreed at Carlisle in 1150 that a son of Ranulph, Earl of Chester, should marry one of the daughters of Henry, son of the king of Scotland. The son of Earl Ranulph was presumably his eldest son, Hugh. The projected marriage never took place. In the period, 1154-7, Earl Hugh and his mother, Countess Maud, gave Styvechale (south of Coventry) to Walter, Bishop of Chester, and his successors for the absolution of Hugh's father, Lord Earl Ranulph, and the redemption of his soul and that of his ancestors. Sometime in the period, 1155- 63, the king ordered Earl Hugh and his mother, Countess Maud, to give to the Abbot and monks of Gloucester the rents which Hugh's father, Earl Ranulph, gave them in the mills of Oldney and Tadwell. He was present in 1163 at Dover for King Henry II's renewal of the Flemish money fief, and also attended the Council of Clarendon in January 1164. Sometime in the period, 1166-87, he confirmed the former grant made to Saint-Etienne Abbey, Caen by Ranulph, Vicomte of Bayeux, his ancestor, of all the land the said Ranulph possessed at Bretteville-l'Orgueilleuse. He married in 1169 BERTRADE DE MONTFORT, daughter of Simon de Montfort, Count of Evreux, seigneur of Montfort-l'Amaury, by his wife, Maud. She was born about 1156 (aged 29 in 1185). They had one son, Ranulph, Knt. [Earl of Chester and Lincoln], and five daughters, Maud, Mabel, Agnes, Hawise, and (wife of Llywelyn ap Iorwerth, Prince of North Wales). By an unknown mistress (or mistresses), he also had two illegitimate sons, William (or Pain) (of Milton), and Roger, and one illegitimate daughter, Amice. Hugh joined the rebellion of King Henry II's sons in 1173. He was captured by King Henry II at Dol in August 1173. In 1174 he was deprived of his lands for rebellion. He was subsequently regranted his honours and lands at the Council of Northampton in 1177. In March 1178 he witnessed King Henry II's award in the dispute between Alfonso IX, King of Castile, and Sancho V, King of Navarre. During his lifetime, he granted some lands in the Wirral to the Abbey of St. Werburgh, Chester, and made other special gifts to Stanlow Priory, St Mary's, Coventry, and the nuns of Buffington and Greenfield priories. He also confirmed his mother's grants to her foundation of Augustinian canons at Calke, Derbyshire, and those of his father to his convent of the Benedictine nuns of St Mary's, Chester. In 1171 he confirmed the grants of his father to the Abbey of St. Stephen in the diocese of Bayeux. He likewise granted the church of Belchford, Lincolnshire to Trentham Priory, and the church of Combe, Gloucestershire to the Abbey of Bordesley, Warwickshire. HUGH, Earl of Chester, died at Leek, Staffordshire 30 June 1181, and was buried next to his father in the chapter house of St Werburgh's, Chester. Sometime in the period, 1188-99, his widow, Bertrade, witnessed a charter of her son, Ranulph, Earl of Chester. In the period, 1190-1200, she reached agreement with the abbot and convent of Troarn in Normandy regarding the construction of a mill and fishpond on the boundary between her wood and theirs. Sometime before 1194-1203, she exchanged lands with the canons of Repton. Sometime in the period, 1200-10, she granted to Ralph Carbonel, of Halton, Lincolnshire, for his homage and service a half a knight's fee which he held of the said countess in Halton. In 1223 Richard Duket and Simon de Sees brought a plea of novel disseisin against her touching a tenement in Harmston, Lincolnshire. In 1226 she presented to the church of Waddington, Lincolnshire. In 1227 she arraigned an assize of last presentation to the church of Waddington, Lincolnshire against the abbot of St. Sever. Bertrade, Countess of Chester, died in 1227, after 31 March.

Ranulph married (2nd) before 7 October 1200 CLEMENCE DE FOUGERES, widow of Main de Vitre (or Dinan) (died 1198), seigneur of Dinan, and daughter of Guillaume de Fougères, seigneur of Fougères, by Agatha, daughter of Guillaume du Hommet, Constable of Normandy [see FOUGERES 5 for her ancestry]. Her maritagium included land in the valley of Mortain. They had no issue. He was engaged in warfare with the Welsh from 1209 to 1214. He was faithful to King John against the rebellious Barons. He was one of the executors of King John who died 19 October 1216; and one of most zealous supporters of the young king, Henry III. In 1217, as Joint Commander of the royal army, he contributed to the defeat of the rebels under the Count of Perche. He was created Earl of Lincoln 23 May 1217. He went on crusade to the Holy Land in May 1218, and distinguished himself at the Siege of Damietta. He returned to England in August 1220. In 1223 he was required to surrender his castles. In 1229 he opposed in Parliament the grant of a tenth to the Pope, and forbade its collection in his own domain. In 1229 Earl Ranulph granted tithes in Wilsford, Wiltshire, formerly held of the Earl of Lincoln, to Roger, Succentor of Salisbury. He served as Chief Commander of the royal troops in Brittany, 1230-1, and in June 1231 was a Joint Commissioner to treat with France. Sometime between April 1231 and his death, he resigned the earldom of Lincoln to his sister, Hawise de Quincy. RANULPH, Earl of Chester, died at Wallingford 28 October 1232, and was buried at St. Werburg's, Chester, his heart being interred at Dieulacres Abbey. His widow, Clemence, died in 1252. Sandford Gen.

1. “Royal Ancestry: A Study in Colonial & Medieval Families,” Douglas Richardson (2013):
“HUGH, 6th Earl of Chester, hereditary Vicomte of Avranches in Normandy, seigneur of Saint Sever and Briquessart, son and heir, born about 1141 (of age in 1162). He is sometimes called Hugh of Cyfeiliog, because, according to a late writer, he was born in that district of Wales. According to the chronicler, John of Hexham, it was agreed at Carlisle in 1150 that a son of Ranulph, Earl of Chester, should marry one of the daughters of Henry, son of the king of Scotland. The son of Earl Ranulph was presumably his eldest son, Hugh. The projected marriage never took place. In the period, 1154-7, Earl Hugh and his mother, Countess Maud, gave Styvechale (south of Coventry) to Walter, Bishop of Chester, and his successors for the absolution of Hugh's father, Lord Earl Ranulph, and the redemption of his soul and that of his ancestors. Sometime in the period, 1155- 63, the king ordered Earl Hugh and his mother, Countess Maud, to give to the Abbot and monks of Gloucester the rents which Hugh's father, Earl Ranulph, gave them in the mills of Oldney and Tadwell. He was present in 1163 at Dover for King Henry II's renewal of the Flemish money fief, and also attended the Council of Clarendon in January 1164. Sometime in the period, 1166-87, he confirmed the former grant made to Saint-Etienne Abbey, Caen by Ranulph, Vicomte of Bayeux, his ancestor, of all the land the said Ranulph possessed at Bretteville-l'Orgueilleuse. He married in 1169 BERTRADE DE MONTFORT, daughter of Simon de Montfort, Count of Evreux, seigneur of Montfort-l'Amaury, by his wife, Maud. She was born about 1156 (aged 29 in 1185). They had one son, Ranulph, Knt. [Earl of Chester and Lincoln], and five daughters, Maud, Mabel, Agnes, Hawise, and (wife of Llywelyn ap Iorwerth, Prince of North Wales). By an unknown mistress (or mistresses), he also had two illegitimate sons, William (or Pain) (of Milton), and Roger, and one illegitimate daughter, Amice. Hugh joined the rebellion of King Henry II's sons in 1173. He was captured by King Henry II at Dol in August 1173. In 1174 he was deprived of his lands for rebellion. He was subsequently regranted his honours and lands at the Council of Northampton in 1177. In March 1178 he witnessed King Henry II's award in the dispute between Alfonso IX, King of Castile, and Sancho V, King of Navarre. During his lifetime, he granted some lands in the Wirral to the Abbey of St. Werburgh, Chester, and made other special gifts to Stanlow Priory, St Mary's, Coventry, and the nuns of Buffington and Greenfield priories. He also confirmed his mother's grants to her foundation of Augustinian canons at Calke, Derbyshire, and those of his father to his convent of the Benedictine nuns of St Mary's, Chester. In 1171 he confirmed the grants of his father to the Abbey of St. Stephen in the diocese of Bayeux. He likewise granted the church of Belchford, Lincolnshire to Trentham Priory, and the church of Combe, Gloucestershire to the Abbey of Bordesley, Warwickshire. HUGH, Earl of Chester, died at Leek, Staffordshire 30 June 1181, and was buried next to his father in the chapter house of St Werburgh's, Chester. Sometime in the period, 1188-99, his widow, Bertrade, witnessed a charter of her son, Ranulph, Earl of Chester. In the period, 1190-1200, she reached agreement with the abbot and convent of Troarn in Normandy regarding the construction of a mill and fishpond on the boundary between her wood and theirs. Sometime before 1194-1203, she exchanged lands with the canons of Repton. Sometime in the period, 1200-10, she granted to Ralph Carbonel, of Halton, Lincolnshire, for his homage and service a half a knight's fee which he held of the said countess in Halton. In 1223 Richard Duket and Simon de Sees brought a plea of novel disseisin against her touching a tenement in Harmston, Lincolnshire. In 1226 she presented to the church of Waddington, Lincolnshire. In 1227 she arraigned an assize of last presentation to the church of Waddington, Lincolnshire against the abbot of St. Sever. Bertrade, Countess of Chester, died in 1227, after 31 March.

1. “Royal Ancestry: A Study in Colonial & Medieval Families,” Douglas Richardson (2013):
“HUGH, 6th Earl of Chester, hereditary Vicomte of Avranches in Normandy, seigneur of Saint Sever and Briquessart, son and heir, born about 1141 (of age in 1162). He is sometimes called Hugh of Cyfeiliog, because, according to a late writer, he was born in that district of Wales. According to the chronicler, John of Hexham, it was agreed at Carlisle in 1150 that a son of Ranulph, Earl of Chester, should marry one of the daughters of Henry, son of the king of Scotland. The son of Earl Ranulph was presumably his eldest son, Hugh. The projected marriage never took place. In the period, 1154-7, Earl Hugh and his mother, Countess Maud, gave Styvechale (south of Coventry) to Walter, Bishop of Chester, and his successors for the absolution of Hugh's father, Lord Earl Ranulph, and the redemption of his soul and that of his ancestors. Sometime in the period, 1155- 63, the king ordered Earl Hugh and his mother, Countess Maud, to give to the Abbot and monks of Gloucester the rents which Hugh's father, Earl Ranulph, gave them in the mills of Oldney and Tadwell. He was present in 1163 at Dover for King Henry II's renewal of the Flemish money fief, and also attended the Council of Clarendon in January 1164. Sometime in the period, 1166-87, he confirmed the former grant made to Saint-Etienne Abbey, Caen by Ranulph, Vicomte of Bayeux, his ancestor, of all the land the said Ranulph possessed at Bretteville-l'Orgueilleuse. He married in 1169 BERTRADE DE MONTFORT, daughter of Simon de Montfort, Count of Evreux, seigneur of Montfort-l'Amaury, by his wife, Maud. She was born about 1156 (aged 29 in 1185). They had one son, Ranulph, Knt. [Earl of Chester and Lincoln], and five daughters, Maud, Mabel, Agnes, Hawise, and (wife of Llywelyn ap Iorwerth, Prince of North Wales). By an unknown mistress (or mistresses), he also had two illegitimate sons, William (or Pain) (of Milton), and Roger, and one illegitimate daughter, Amice. Hugh joined the rebellion of King Henry II's sons in 1173. He was captured by King Henry II at Dol in August 1173. In 1174 he was deprived of his lands for rebellion. He was subsequently regranted his honours and lands at the Council of Northampton in 1177. In March 1178 he witnessed King Henry II's award in the dispute between Alfonso IX, King of Castile, and Sancho V, King of Navarre. During his lifetime, he granted some lands in the Wirral to the Abbey of St. Werburgh, Chester, and made other special gifts to Stanlow Priory, St Mary's, Coventry, and the nuns of Buffington and Greenfield priories. He also confirmed his mother's grants to her foundation of Augustinian canons at Calke, Derbyshire, and those of his father to his convent of the Benedictine nuns of St Mary's, Chester. In 1171 he confirmed the grants of his father to the Abbey of St. Stephen in the diocese of Bayeux. He likewise granted the church of Belchford, Lincolnshire to Trentham Priory, and the church of Combe, Gloucestershire to the Abbey of Bordesley, Warwickshire. HUGH, Earl of Chester, died at Leek, Staffordshire 30 June 1181, and was buried next to his father in the chapter house of St Werburgh's, Chester. Sometime in the period, 1188-99, his widow, Bertrade, witnessed a charter of her son, Ranulph, Earl of Chester. In the period, 1190-1200, she reached agreement with the abbot and convent of Troarn in Normandy regarding the construction of a mill and fishpond on the boundary between her wood and theirs. Sometime before 1194-1203, she exchanged lands with the canons of Repton. Sometime in the period, 1200-10, she granted to Ralph Carbonel, of Halton, Lincolnshire, for his homage and service a half a knight's fee which he held of the said countess in Halton. In 1223 Richard Duket and Simon de Sees brought a plea of novel disseisin against her touching a tenement in Harmston, Lincolnshire. In 1226 she presented to the church of Waddington, Lincolnshire. In 1227 she arraigned an assize of last presentation to the church of Waddington, Lincolnshire against the abbot of St. Sever. Bertrade, Countess of Chester, died in 1227, after 31 March.

Children of Hugh, Earl of Chester, by Bertrade de Montfort:
i. RANULPH, Knt., Earl of Chester, Vicomte of Avranches in Normandy, Judge in the King's Court, 1193, Constable of Sermilly Castle, 1201-4, Constable of the Tower of Avranches, 1203, Governor of the Peak Castle and Forest, 1215, Sheriff of Lancashire, 1216-22, Sheriff of Shropshire and Staffordshire, 1216,1217-23, Steward of the Town and Honour of Lancaster, 1216-23, Constable of Fotheringay Castle, 1221-2, Steward of the Honour of Leicester, 1222, and, in right of his 1st wife, Duke of Brittany, Earl of Richmond, son and heir, born at Oswestry in Powys c.1172. He was knighted by the king at Caen 1 Jan. 1187/8. He married (1st) 3 Feb. 1187/8 (or 1189) CONSTANCE OF BRITTANY [see BRITTANY 6], widow of Geoffrey of England, Duke of Brittany, Earl of Richmond (killed in a tournament at Paris 19 August 1186) [see ENGLAND 4.v], and daughter and heiress of Conan IV le Petit, Duke of Brittany, Earl of Richmond, by Margaret, daughter of Henry of Scotland, Earl of Northumberland [see BRITTANY 5 for her ancestry]. She was born about 1162. They had no issue. In 1194 he was commander of the forces for King Richard I. He took part in the second Coronation of King Richard I, which was solemnised in Winchester Cathedral 17 April 1194. In 1196 Ranulph captured his wife, Constance, en route to her finalizing negotiations with King Richard I and confined her at Benvron for at least a year. Soon after her release, she sought the annulment of their marriage, which was granted in 1199, presumably on grounds on consanguinity; she subsequently married (3rd) before October 1199 (as his 1st wife) GUY DE THOUARS, in right of his 1st wife, Count (or Duke) of Brittany, Earl of Richmond [see BRITTANY 6]. Constance died testate at Nantes 4 (or 5) Sept. 1201. Ranulph married (2nd) before 7 October 1200 CLEMENCE DE FOUGERES, widow of Main de Vitre (or Dinan) (died 1198), seigneur of Dinan, and daughter of Guillaume de Fougères, seigneur of Fougères, by Agatha, daughter of Guillaume du Hommet, Constable of Normandy [see FOUGERES 5 for her ancestry]. Her maritagium included land in the valley of Mortain. They had no issue. He was engaged in warfare with the Welsh from 1209 to 1214. He was faithful to King John against the rebellious Barons. He was one of the executors of King John who died 19 October 1216; and one of most zealous supporters of the young king, Henry III. In 1217, as Joint Commander of the royal army, he contributed to the defeat of the rebels under the Count of Perche. He was created Earl of Lincoln 23 May 1217. He went on crusade to the Holy Land in May 1218, and distinguished himself at the Siege of Damietta. He returned to England in August 1220. In 1223 he was required to surrender his castles. In 1229 he opposed in Parliament the grant of a tenth to the Pope, and forbade its collection in his own domain. In 1229 Earl Ranulph granted tithes in Wilsford, Wiltshire, formerly held of the Earl of Lincoln, to Roger, Succentor of Salisbury. He served as Chief Commander of the royal troops in Brittany, 1230-1, and in June 1231 was a Joint Commissioner to treat with France. Sometime between April 1231 and his death, he resigned the earldom of Lincoln to his sister, Hawise de Quincy. RANULPH, Earl of Chester, died at Wallingford 28 October 1232, and was buried at St. Werburg's, Chester, his heart being interred at Dieulacres Abbey. His widow, Clemence, died in 1252. Sandford Gen.

He married in 1169 BERTRADE DE MONTFORT, daughter of Simon de Montfort, Count of Evreux, seigneur of Montfort-l'Amaury, by his wife, Maud. She was born about 1156 (aged 29 in 1185). They had one son, Ranulph, Knt. [Earl of Chester and Lincoln], and five daughters, Maud, Mabel, Agnes, Hawise, and (wife of Llywelyn ap Iorwerth, Prince of North Wales). By an unknown mistress (or mistresses), he also had two illegitimate sons, William (or Pain) (of Milton), and Roger, and one illegitimate daughter, Amice. Hugh joined the rebellion of King Henry II's sons in 1173. He was captured by King Henry II at Dol in August 1173. In 1174 he was deprived of his lands for rebellion. He was subsequently regranted his honours and lands at the Council of Northampton in 1177. In March 1178 he witnessed King Henry II's award in the dispute between Alfonso IX, King of Castile, and Sancho V, King of Navarre. During his lifetime, he granted some lands in the Wirral to the Abbey of St. Werburgh, Chester, and made other special gifts to Stanlow Priory, St Mary's, Coventry, and the nuns of Buffington and Greenfield priories. He also confirmed his mother's grants to her foundation of Augustinian canons at Calke, Derbyshire, and those of his father to his convent of the Benedictine nuns of St Mary's, Chester. In 1171 he confirmed the grants of his father to the Abbey of St. Stephen in the diocese of Bayeux. He likewise granted the church of Belchford, Lincolnshire to Trentham Priory, and the church of Combe, Gloucestershire to the Abbey of Bordesley, Warwickshire. HUGH, Earl of Chester, died at Leek, Staffordshire 30 June 1181, and was buried next to his father in the chapter house of St Werburgh's, Chester. Sometime in the period, 1188-99, his widow, Bertrade, witnessed a charter of her son, Ranulph, Earl of Chester. In the period, 1190-1200, she reached agreement with the abbot and convent of Troarn in Normandy regarding the construction of a mill and fishpond on the boundary between her wood and theirs. Sometime before 1194-1203, she exchanged lands with the canons of Repton. Sometime in the period, 1200-10, she granted to Ralph Carbonel, of Halton, Lincolnshire, for his homage and service a half a knight's fee which he held of the said countess in Halton. In 1223 Richard Duket and Simon de Sees brought a plea of novel disseisin against her touching a tenement in Harmston, Lincolnshire. In 1226 she presented to the church of Waddington, Lincolnshire. In 1227 she arraigned an assize of last presentation to the church of Waddington, Lincolnshire against the abbot of St. Sever. Bertrade, Countess of Chester, died in 1227, after 31 March.

Children of Hugh, Earl of Chester, by Bertrade de Montfort:
i. RANULPH, Knt., Earl of Chester, Vicomte of Avranches in Normandy, Judge in the King's Court, 1193, Constable of Sermilly Castle, 1201-4, Constable of the Tower of Avranches, 1203, Governor of the Peak Castle and Forest, 1215, Sheriff of Lancashire, 1216-22, Sheriff of Shropshire and Staffordshire, 1216,1217-23, Steward of the Town and Honour of Lancaster, 1216-23, Constable of Fotheringay Castle, 1221-2, Steward of the Honour of Leicester, 1222, and, in right of his 1st wife, Duke of Brittany, Earl of Richmond, son and heir, born at Oswestry in Powys c.1172. He was knighted by the king at Caen 1 Jan. 1187/8. He married (1st) 3 Feb. 1187/8 (or 1189) CONSTANCE OF BRITTANY [see BRITTANY 6], widow of Geoffrey of England, Duke of Brittany, Earl of Richmond (killed in a tournament at Paris 19 August 1186) [see ENGLAND 4.v], and daughter and heiress of Conan IV le Petit, Duke of Brittany, Earl of Richmond, by Margaret, daughter of Henry of Scotland, Earl of Northumberland [see BRITTANY 5 for her ancestry]. She was born about 1162. They had no issue. In 1194 he was commander of the forces for King Richard I. He took part in the second Coronation of King Richard I, which was solemnised in Winchester Cathedral 17 April 1194. In 1196 Ranulph captured his wife, Constance, en route to her finalizing negotiations with King Richard I and confined her at Benvron for at least a year. Soon after her release, she sought the annulment of their marriage, which was granted in 1199, presumably on grounds on consanguinity; she subsequently married (3rd) before October 1199 (as his 1st wife) GUY DE THOUARS, in right of his 1st wife, Count (or Duke) of Brittany, Earl of Richmond [see BRITTANY 6]. Constance died testate at Nantes 4 (or 5) Sept. 1201. Ranulph married (2nd) before 7 October 1200 CLEMENCE DE FOUGERES, widow of Main de Vitre (or Dinan) (died 1198), seigneur of Dinan, and daughter of Guillaume de Fougères, seigneur of Fougères, by Agatha, daughter of Guillaume du Hommet, Constable of Normandy [see FOUGERES 5 for her ancestry]. Her maritagium included land in the valley of Mortain. They had no issue. He was engaged in warfare with the Welsh from 1209 to 1214. He was faithful to King John against the rebellious Barons. He was one of the executors of King John who died 19 October 1216; and one of most zealous supporters of the young king, Henry III. In 1217, as Joint Commander of the royal army, he contributed to the defeat of the rebels under the Count of Perche. He was created Earl of Lincoln 23 May 1217. He went on crusade to the Holy Land in May 1218, and distinguished himself at the Siege of Damietta. He returned to England in August 1220. In 1223 he was required to surrender his castles. In 1229 he opposed in Parliament the grant of a tenth to the Pope, and forbade its collection in his own domain. In 1229 Earl Ranulph granted tithes in Wilsford, Wiltshire, formerly held of the Earl of Lincoln, to Roger, Succentor of Salisbury. He served as Chief Commander of the royal troops in Brittany, 1230-1, and in June 1231 was a Joint Commissioner to treat with France. Sometime between April 1231 and his death, he resigned the earldom of Lincoln to his sister, Hawise de Quincy. RANULPH, Earl of Chester, died at Wallingford 28 October 1232, and was buried at St. Werburg's, Chester, his heart being interred at Dieulacres Abbey. His widow, Clemence, died in 1252. Sandford Gen.

i. MALCOLM IV (also known as MALCOLM DE WARENNE), King of Scots, 1153-65, Earl of Huntingdon, 1157-65, son and heir, born 20 March 1141-2. He succeeded his grandfather, King David I, as King of Scots in 1153. He ceded Northumberland, Cumberland, and Westmorland to King Henry II of England in 1157, in exchange for the earldom of Huntingdon. Sometime in the period, 1157-65, he confirmed to Brinkburn Priory the earlier grants of his father and Roger Bertram. He went to France with King Henry II in 1159, and was present at the Siege of Toulouse. He was knighted by King Henry II at Tours in 1159/60. He founded the Abbey of Coupar Angus in 1161, and the Hospital of St. Margaret at Huntingdon in or before 1165. KING MALCOLM IV died unmarried at Jedburgh 9 Dec. 1165, and was buried in the church of the Holy Trinity at Dunfermline, Fife.

1. “Royal Ancestry: A Study in Colonial & Medieval Families,” Douglas Richardson (2013):
“HUGH, 6th Earl of Chester, hereditary Vicomte of Avranches in Normandy, seigneur of Saint Sever and Briquessart, son and heir, born about 1141 (of age in 1162). He is sometimes called Hugh of Cyfeiliog, because, according to a late writer, he was born in that district of Wales. According to the chronicler, John of Hexham, it was agreed at Carlisle in 1150 that a son of Ranulph, Earl of Chester, should marry one of the daughters of Henry, son of the king of Scotland. The son of Earl Ranulph was presumably his eldest son, Hugh. The projected marriage never took place. In the period, 1154-7, Earl Hugh and his mother, Countess Maud, gave Styvechale (south of Coventry) to Walter, Bishop of Chester, and his successors for the absolution of Hugh's father, Lord Earl Ranulph, and the redemption of his soul and that of his ancestors. Sometime in the period, 1155- 63, the king ordered Earl Hugh and his mother, Countess Maud, to give to the Abbot and monks of Gloucester the rents which Hugh's father, Earl Ranulph, gave them in the mills of Oldney and Tadwell. He was present in 1163 at Dover for King Henry II's renewal of the Flemish money fief, and also attended the Council of Clarendon in January 1164. Sometime in the period, 1166-87, he confirmed the former grant made to Saint-Etienne Abbey, Caen by Ranulph, Vicomte of Bayeux, his ancestor, of all the land the said Ranulph possessed at Bretteville-l'Orgueilleuse. He married in 1169 BERTRADE DE MONTFORT, daughter of Simon de Montfort, Count of Evreux, seigneur of Montfort-l'Amaury, by his wife, Maud. She was born about 1156 (aged 29 in 1185). They had one son, Ranulph, Knt. [Earl of Chester and Lincoln], and five daughters, Maud, Mabel, Agnes, Hawise, and (wife of Llywelyn ap Iorwerth, Prince of North Wales). By an unknown mistress (or mistresses), he also had two illegitimate sons, William (or Pain) (of Milton), and Roger, and one illegitimate daughter, Amice. Hugh joined the rebellion of King Henry II's sons in 1173. He was captured by King Henry II at Dol in August 1173. In 1174 he was deprived of his lands for rebellion. He was subsequently regranted his honours and lands at the Council of Northampton in 1177. In March 1178 he witnessed King Henry II's award in the dispute between Alfonso IX, King of Castile, and Sancho V, King of Navarre. During his lifetime, he granted some lands in the Wirral to the Abbey of St. Werburgh, Chester, and made other special gifts to Stanlow Priory, St Mary's, Coventry, and the nuns of Buffington and Greenfield priories. He also confirmed his mother's grants to her foundation of Augustinian canons at Calke, Derbyshire, and those of his father to his convent of the Benedictine nuns of St Mary's, Chester. In 1171 he confirmed the grants of his father to the Abbey of St. Stephen in the diocese of Bayeux. He likewise granted the church of Belchford, Lincolnshire to Trentham Priory, and the church of Combe, Gloucestershire to the Abbey of Bordesley, Warwickshire. HUGH, Earl of Chester, died at Leek, Staffordshire 30 June 1181, and was buried next to his father in the chapter house of St Werburgh's, Chester. Sometime in the period, 1188-99, his widow, Bertrade, witnessed a charter of her son, Ranulph, Earl of Chester. In the period, 1190-1200, she reached agreement with the abbot and convent of Troarn in Normandy regarding the construction of a mill and fishpond on the boundary between her wood and theirs. Sometime before 1194-1203, she exchanged lands with the canons of Repton. Sometime in the period, 1200-10, she granted to Ralph Carbonel, of Halton, Lincolnshire, for his homage and service a half a knight's fee which he held of the said countess in Halton. In 1223 Richard Duket and Simon de Sees brought a plea of novel disseisin against her touching a tenement in Harmston, Lincolnshire. In 1226 she presented to the church of Waddington, Lincolnshire. In 1227 she arraigned an assize of last presentation to the church of Waddington, Lincolnshire against the abbot of St. Sever. Bertrade, Countess of Chester, died in 1227, after 31 March.

Children of Hugh, Earl of Chester, by Bertrade de Montfort:
i. RANULPH, Knt., Earl of Chester, Vicomte of Avranches in Normandy, Judge in the King's Court, 1193, Constable of Sermilly Castle, 1201-4, Constable of the Tower of Avranches, 1203, Governor of the Peak Castle and Forest, 1215, Sheriff of Lancashire, 1216-22, Sheriff of Shropshire and Staffordshire, 1216,1217-23, Steward of the Town and Honour of Lancaster, 1216-23, Constable of Fotheringay Castle, 1221-2, Steward of the Honour of Leicester, 1222, and, in right of his 1st wife, Duke of Brittany, Earl of Richmond, son and heir, born at Oswestry in Powys c.1172. He was knighted by the king at Caen 1 Jan. 1187/8. He married (1st) 3 Feb. 1187/8 (or 1189) CONSTANCE OF BRITTANY [see BRITTANY 6], widow of Geoffrey of England, Duke of Brittany, Earl of Richmond (killed in a tournament at Paris 19 August 1186) [see ENGLAND 4.v], and daughter and heiress of Conan IV le Petit, Duke of Brittany, Earl of Richmond, by Margaret, daughter of Henry of Scotland, Earl of Northumberland [see BRITTANY 5 for her ancestry]. She was born about 1162. They had no issue. In 1194 he was commander of the forces for King Richard I. He took part in the second Coronation of King Richard I, which was solemnised in Winchester Cathedral 17 April 1194. In 1196 Ranulph captured his wife, Constance, en route to her finalizing negotiations with King Richard I and confined her at Benvron for at least a year. Soon after her release, she sought the annulment of their marriage, which was granted in 1199, presumably on grounds on consanguinity; she subsequently married (3rd) before October 1199 (as his 1st wife) GUY DE THOUARS, in right of his 1st wife, Count (or Duke) of Brittany, Earl of Richmond [see BRITTANY 6]. Constance died testate at Nantes 4 (or 5) Sept. 1201. Ranulph married (2nd) before 7 October 1200 CLEMENCE DE FOUGERES, widow of Main de Vitre (or Dinan) (died 1198), seigneur of Dinan, and daughter of Guillaume de Fougères, seigneur of Fougères, by Agatha, daughter of Guillaume du Hommet, Constable of Normandy [see FOUGERES 5 for her ancestry]. Her maritagium included land in the valley of Mortain. They had no issue. He was engaged in warfare with the Welsh from 1209 to 1214. He was faithful to King John against the rebellious Barons. He was one of the executors of King John who died 19 October 1216; and one of most zealous supporters of the young king, Henry III. In 1217, as Joint Commander of the royal army, he contributed to the defeat of the rebels under the Count of Perche. He was created Earl of Lincoln 23 May 1217. He went on crusade to the Holy Land in May 1218, and distinguished himself at the Siege of Damietta. He returned to England in August 1220. In 1223 he was required to surrender his castles. In 1229 he opposed in Parliament the grant of a tenth to the Pope, and forbade its collection in his own domain. In 1229 Earl Ranulph granted tithes in Wilsford, Wiltshire, formerly held of the Earl of Lincoln, to Roger, Succentor of Salisbury. He served as Chief Commander of the royal troops in Brittany, 1230-1, and in June 1231 was a Joint Commissioner to treat with France. Sometime between April 1231 and his death, he resigned the earldom of Lincoln to his sister, Hawise de Quincy. RANULPH, Earl of Chester, died at Wallingford 28 October 1232, and was buried at St. Werburg's, Chester, his heart being interred at Dieulacres Abbey. His widow, Clemence, died in 1252. Sandford Gen.

“HUGH, 6th Earl of Chester, hereditary Vicomte of Avranches in Normandy, seigneur of Saint Sever and Briquessart, son and heir, born about 1141 (of age in 1162). He is sometimes called Hugh of Cyfeiliog, because, according to a late writer, he was born in that district of Wales. According to the chronicler, John of Hexham, it was agreed at Carlisle in 1150 that a son of Ranulph, Earl of Chester, should marry one of the daughters of Henry, son of the king of Scotland. The son of Earl Ranulph was presumably his eldest son, Hugh. The projected marriage never took place. In the period, 1154-7, Earl Hugh and his mother, Countess Maud, gave Styvechale (south of Coventry) to Walter, Bishop of Chester, and his successors for the absolution of Hugh's father, Lord Earl Ranulph, and the redemption of his soul and that of his ancestors. Sometime in the period, 1155- 63, the king ordered Earl Hugh and his mother, Countess Maud, to give to the Abbot and monks of Gloucester the rents which Hugh's father, Earl Ranulph, gave them in the mills of Oldney and Tadwell. He was present in 1163 at Dover for King Henry II's renewal of the Flemish money fief, and also attended the Council of Clarendon in January 1164. Sometime in the period, 1166-87, he confirmed the former grant made to Saint-Etienne Abbey, Caen by Ranulph, Vicomte of Bayeux, his ancestor, of all the land the said Ranulph possessed at Bretteville-l'Orgueilleuse. He married in 1169 BERTRADE DE MONTFORT, daughter of Simon de Montfort, Count of Evreux, seigneur of Montfort-l'Amaury, by his wife, Maud. She was born about 1156 (aged 29 in 1185). They had one son, Ranulph, Knt. [Earl of Chester and Lincoln], and five daughters, Maud, Mabel, Agnes, Hawise, and (wife of Llywelyn ap Iorwerth, Prince of North Wales). By an unknown mistress (or mistresses), he also had two illegitimate sons, William (or Pain) (of Milton), and Roger, and one illegitimate daughter, Amice. Hugh joined the rebellion of King Henry II's sons in 1173. He was captured by King Henry II at Dol in August 1173. In 1174 he was deprived of his lands for rebellion. He was subsequently regranted his honours and lands at the Council of Northampton in 1177. In March 1178 he witnessed King Henry II's award in the dispute between Alfonso IX, King of Castile, and Sancho V, King of Navarre. During his lifetime, he granted some lands in the Wirral to the Abbey of St. Werburgh, Chester, and made other special gifts to Stanlow Priory, St Mary's, Coventry, and the nuns of Buffington and Greenfield priories. He also confirmed his mother's grants to her foundation of Augustinian canons at Calke, Derbyshire, and those of his father to his convent of the Benedictine nuns of St Mary's, Chester. In 1171 he confirmed the grants of his father to the Abbey of St. Stephen in the diocese of Bayeux. He likewise granted the church of Belchford, Lincolnshire to Trentham Priory, and the church of Combe, Gloucestershire to the Abbey of Bordesley, Warwickshire. HUGH, Earl of Chester, died at Leek, Staffordshire 30 June 1181, and was buried next to his father in the chapter house of St Werburgh's, Chester. Sometime in the period, 1188-99, his widow, Bertrade, witnessed a charter of her son, Ranulph, Earl of Chester. In the period, 1190-1200, she reached agreement with the abbot and convent of Troarn in Normandy regarding the construction of a mill and fishpond on the boundary between her wood and theirs. Sometime before 1194-1203, she exchanged lands with the canons of Repton. Sometime in the period, 1200-10, she granted to Ralph Carbonel, of Halton, Lincolnshire, for his homage and service a half a knight's fee which he held of the said countess in Halton. In 1223 Richard Duket and Simon de Sees brought a plea of novel disseisin against her touching a tenement in Harmston, Lincolnshire. In 1226 she presented to the church of Waddington, Lincolnshire. In 1227 she arraigned an assize of last presentation to the church of Waddington, Lincolnshire against the abbot of St. Sever. Bertrade, Countess of Chester, died in 1227, after 31 March.

Children of Hugh, Earl of Chester, by Bertrade de Montfort:
i. RANULPH, Knt., Earl of Chester, Vicomte of Avranches in Normandy, Judge in the King's Court, 1193, Constable of Sermilly Castle, 1201-4, Constable of the Tower of Avranches, 1203, Governor of the Peak Castle and Forest, 1215, Sheriff of Lancashire, 1216-22, Sheriff of Shropshire and Staffordshire, 1216,1217-23, Steward of the Town and Honour of Lancaster, 1216-23, Constable of Fotheringay Castle, 1221-2, Steward of the Honour of Leicester, 1222, and, in right of his 1st wife, Duke of Brittany, Earl of Richmond, son and heir, born at Oswestry in Powys c.1172. He was knighted by the king at Caen 1 Jan. 1187/8. He married (1st) 3 Feb. 1187/8 (or 1189) CONSTANCE OF BRITTANY [see BRITTANY 6], widow of Geoffrey of England, Duke of Brittany, Earl of Richmond (killed in a tournament at Paris 19 August 1186) [see ENGLAND 4.v], and daughter and heiress of Conan IV le Petit, Duke of Brittany, Earl of Richmond, by Margaret, daughter of Henry of Scotland, Earl of Northumberland [see BRITTANY 5 for her ancestry]. She was born about 1162. They had no issue. In 1194 he was commander of the forces for King Richard I. He took part in the second Coronation of King Richard I, which was solemnised in Winchester Cathedral 17 April 1194. In 1196 Ranulph captured his wife, Constance, en route to her finalizing negotiations with King Richard I and confined her at Benvron for at least a year. Soon after her release, she sought the annulment of their marriage, which was granted in 1199, presumably on grounds on consanguinity; she subsequently married (3rd) before October 1199 (as his 1st wife) GUY DE THOUARS, in right of his 1st wife, Count (or Duke) of Brittany, Earl of Richmond [see BRITTANY 6]. Constance died testate at Nantes 4 (or 5) Sept. 1201. Ranulph married (2nd) before 7 October 1200 CLEMENCE DE FOUGERES, widow of Main de Vitre (or Dinan) (died 1198), seigneur of Dinan, and daughter of Guillaume de Fougères, seigneur of Fougères, by Agatha, daughter of Guillaume du Hommet, Constable of Normandy [see FOUGERES 5 for her ancestry]. Her maritagium included land in the valley of Mortain. They had no issue. He was engaged in warfare with the Welsh from 1209 to 1214. He was faithful to King John against the rebellious Barons. He was one of the executors of King John who died 19 October 1216; and one of most zealous supporters of the young king, Henry III. In 1217, as Joint Commander of the royal army, he contributed to the defeat of the rebels under the Count of Perche. He was created Earl of Lincoln 23 May 1217. He went on crusade to the Holy Land in May 1218, and distinguished himself at the Siege of Damietta. He returned to England in August 1220. In 1223 he was required to surrender his castles. In 1229 he opposed in Parliament the grant of a tenth to the Pope, and forbade its collection in his own domain. In 1229 Earl Ranulph granted tithes in Wilsford, Wiltshire, formerly held of the Earl of Lincoln, to Roger, Succentor of Salisbury. He served as Chief Commander of the royal troops in Brittany, 1230-1, and in June 1231 was a Joint Commissioner to treat with France. Sometime between April 1231 and his death, he resigned the earldom of Lincoln to his sister, Hawise de Quincy. RANULPH, Earl of Chester, died at Wallingford 28 October 1232, and was buried at St. Werburg's, Chester, his heart being interred at Dieulacres Abbey. His widow, Clemence, died in 1252. Sandford Gen.

He also confirmed his mother's grants to her foundation of Augustinian canons at Calke, Derbyshire, and those of his father to his convent of the Benedictine nuns of St Mary's, Chester. In 1171 he confirmed the grants of his father to the Abbey of St. Stephen in the diocese of Bayeux. He likewise granted the church of Belchford, Lincolnshire to Trentham Priory, and the church of Combe, Gloucestershire to the Abbey of Bordesley, Warwickshire. HUGH, Earl of Chester, died at Leek, Staffordshire 30 June 1181, and was buried next to his father in the chapter house of St Werburgh's, Chester. Sometime in the period, 1188-99, his widow, Bertrade, witnessed a charter of her son, Ranulph, Earl of Chester. In the period, 1190-1200, she reached agreement with the abbot and convent of Troarn in Normandy regarding the construction of a mill and fishpond on the boundary between her wood and theirs. Sometime before 1194-1203, she exchanged lands with the canons of Repton. Sometime in the period, 1200-10, she granted to Ralph Carbonel, of Halton, Lincolnshire, for his homage and service a half a knight's fee which he held of the said countess in Halton. In 1223 Richard Duket and Simon de Sees brought a plea of novel disseisin against her touching a tenement in Harmston, Lincolnshire. In 1226 she presented to the church of Waddington, Lincolnshire. In 1227 she arraigned an assize of last presentation to the church of Waddington, Lincolnshire against the abbot of St. Sever. Bertrade, Countess of Chester, died in 1227, after 31 March.

RANULPH, Knt., Earl of Chester, Vicomte of Avranches in Normandy, Judge in the King's Court, 1193, Constable of Sermilly Castle, 1201-4, Constable of the Tower of Avranches, 1203, Governor of the Peak Castle and Forest, 1215, Sheriff of Lancashire, 1216-22, Sheriff of Shropshire and Staffordshire, 1216,1217-23, Steward of the Town and Honour of Lancaster, 1216-23, Constable of Fotheringay Castle, 1221-2, Steward of the Honour of Leicester, 1222, and, in right of his 1st wife, Duke of Brittany, Earl of Richmond, son and heir, born at Oswestry in Powys c.1172. He was knighted by the king at Caen 1 Jan. 1187/8. He married (1st) 3 Feb. 1187/8 (or 1189) CONSTANCE OF BRITTANY [see BRITTANY 6], widow of Geoffrey of England, Duke of Brittany, Earl of Richmond (killed in a tournament at Paris 19 August 1186) [see ENGLAND 4.v], and daughter and heiress of Conan IV le Petit, Duke of Brittany, Earl of Richmond, by Margaret, daughter of Henry of Scotland, Earl of Northumberland [see BRITTANY 5 for her ancestry]. She was born about 1162. They had no issue. In 1194 he was commander of the forces for King Richard I. He took part in the second Coronation of King Richard I, which was solemnised in Winchester Cathedral 17 April 1194. In 1196 Ranulph captured his wife, Constance, en route to her finalizing negotiations with King Richard I and confined her at Benvron for at least a year. Soon after her release, she sought the annulment of their marriage, which was granted in 1199, presumably on grounds on consanguinity; she subsequently married (3rd) before October 1199 (as his 1st wife) GUY DE THOUARS, in right of his 1st wife, Count (or Duke) of Brittany, Earl of Richmond [see BRITTANY 6]. Constance died testate at Nantes 4 (or 5) Sept. 1201. Ranulph married (2nd) before 7 October 1200 CLEMENCE DE FOUGERES, widow of Main de Vitre (or Dinan) (died 1198), seigneur of Dinan, and daughter of Guillaume de Fougères, seigneur of Fougères, by Agatha, daughter of Guillaume du Hommet, Constable of Normandy [see FOUGERES 5 for her ancestry]. Her maritagium included land in the valley of Mortain. They had no issue. He was engaged in warfare with the Welsh from 1209 to 1214. He was faithful to King John against the rebellious Barons. He was one of the executors of King John who died 19 October 1216; and one of most zealous supporters of the young king, Henry III. In 1217, as Joint Commander of the royal army, he contributed to the defeat of the rebels under the Count of Perche. He was created Earl of Lincoln 23 May 1217. He went on crusade to the Holy Land in May 1218, and distinguished himself at the Siege of Damietta. He returned to England in August 1220. In 1223 he was required to surrender his castles. In 1229 he opposed in Parliament the grant of a tenth to the Pope, and forbade its collection in his own domain. In 1229 Earl Ranulph granted tithes in Wilsford, Wiltshire, formerly held of the Earl of Lincoln, to Roger, Succentor of Salisbury. He served as Chief Commander of the royal troops in Brittany, 1230-1, and in June 1231 was a Joint Commissioner to treat with France. Sometime between April 1231 and his death, he resigned the earldom of Lincoln to his sister, Hawise de Quincy. RANULPH, Earl of Chester, died at Wallingford 28 October 1232, and was buried at St. Werburg's, Chester, his heart being interred at Dieulacres Abbey. His widow, Clemence, died in 1252. Sandford Gen.

“JOHN DE LACY (or LASCY) (also known as JOHN OF CHESTER), Knt., of Pontefract, Yorkshire, Naseby, Northamptonshire, Hatton, Cheshire, etc., hereditary Constable of Chester, Keeper of Duninton Castle, 1214, Constable of Whitchurch Castle, 1233, Privy Councillor, 1237, Sheriff of Cheshire, 1237, Constable of Chester and Beeston Castles, 1237, son and heir, born about 1192 (of age in 1213). He married (1st) ALICE DE L'AIGLE, daughter of Gilbert de l'Aigle, of Pevensey, Sussex, by Isabel de Warenne, daughter of Hamelin, 5th Earl of Surrey (illegitimate son of Geoffrey Plantagenet, (Count of Anjou) [see WARENNE 7.iv for her ancestry]. They had no issue. She was buried at Norton Priory, Cheshire. He obtained livery of his inheritance in July 1213. In 1213-14 he was with the king in Poitou. He was one of the few English barons to take the Cross for the Crusades along with the king 4 March 1214. In 1215 he joined the confederacy of the barons against 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. At the end of the year he made peace with the king, but next summer was again in rebellion, and King John destroyed his castle of Donington. In August 1217 he was pardoned by King Henry III, and in Nov. 1217 he was commissioned to conduct the King of Scots to him. In 1218 he accompanied Ranulph, Earl of Chester, on crusade, and fought at the Siege of Damietta. He returned to England about August 1220, and in Feb. 1220/1 took part in the reduction of Skipton Castle. He married (2nd) in 1221, before 21 June MARGARET (or MARGERY) DE QUINCY, daughter and heiress of Robert de Quincy, by Hawise, suo jure Countess of Lincoln, daughter of Hugh, Earl of Chester [see QUINCY 6.i for her ancestry]. She was born before 1217. They had one son, Edmund, Knt. [Constable of Chester], and three daughters, including Maud and Margaret. In 1223 he held the prescriptive right to a weekly market held at the manor of Snaith, Yorkshire. In 1226 he acted as itinerant judge in Lincolnshire and Lancashire, and, in the former county in 1233. In 1227 he was sent on an embassy to Antwerp. He presented to the churches of Naseby, Northamptonshire in 1227 and 1231, and Wadenhoe, Rutland, 1237, and two portions of the church of Clipstone, Northamptonshire in 1228, 1229, 1230, and 1235. In 1229 he was appointed to conduct Alexander II, King of Scots to England to meet King Henry III of England at York. From about 1230 he was about the court, and in that year was a commissioner to treat for a truce with France. In 1230 John and Margaret released their claim to the main Quincy estates to her uncle, Roger de Quincy; Roger in return granted them and their issue her mother's dower, including the manor of Grantchester, Cambridgeshire, to hold of Roger and his heirs. In 1231 he was in Wales on the king's service. Sometime before 1232, he exchanged one acre of land in the vill of Kingston with Christchurch Priory, Hampshire, in return for an acre of the priory's land also in Kingston. In 1232 he took a prominent part as the king's commissioner in the proceedings against Hubert de Burgh, Earl of Kent. On 22 Nov. 1232, at the instance of Margaret's mother, Hawise de Quincy, the king granted John the £20 per annum which Ranulph, late Earl of Chester and Lincoln, had received for the 3rd penny of the county as Earl of Lincoln, and which the Earl had in his lifetime granted to Hawise his sister: to hold in nomine comitis Lincolnie to the said John and his heirs by Margaret his wife, whereby he became Earl of Lincoln. In 1233 he was one of Hubert de Burgh's keepers at Devizes Castle until he should become a Templar. The same year he joined the party against Peter des Roches, Bishop of Winchester, but the Bishop gained him over, and from that time he acted with the Court, becoming one of the king's unpopular councillors. He was a justice in Lincolnshire in 1234. In 1236 he carried one of the State swords at the Coronation of Queen Eleanor. The same year a dispute occured between John, Earl of Lincoln, and Margaret his wife and the Prior of Wimborne, the former alleging that a new market had been raised in Wimborne Minster, Dorset, to the detriment of their existing market in the town. In 1237 he was a plenipotentiary to make peace with Scotland. SIR JOHN DE LACY, Earl of Lincoln, Constable of Chester, died 22 July 1240, and was buried near his father in the monk's choir at Stanlaw Abbey, his body being removed later to Whalley Abbey. She presented to the church of North Thoresby, Lincolnshire in 1241. His widow, Margaret, married (2nd) 6 Jan. 1241/2 WALTER MARSHAL, Knt., 8th Earl of Pembroke, hereditary Master Marshal [see MARSHAL 3.iv], hereditary Steward of Leinster, of Hampstead Marshall, Berkshire, Bere and Sturminster, Dorset, Silchester, Hampshire, Hinxworth, Hertfordshire, Goodrich Castle, Herefordshire, Box, Great Bedwyn, Wexcombe (in Great Bedwyn), and Wootton Rivers, Wiltshire, etc., seigneur of Orbec and Longueville, and, in right of his wife, Earl of Lincoln, 4th son of William Marshal, Knt., 4th Earl of Pembroke (or Sttiguil), by Isabel, daughter of Richard Fitz Gilbert (nicknamed Strongbow), 2nd Earl of Pembroke (or Striguil) [see MARSHAL 3 for his ancestry]. He was born after 1198. They had no issue. In 1233 he supported his brother Richard Marshal against the king's foreign favorites and his lands were forfeited. In 1234 he was in Ireland with his brother Richard, who sent him away before the fatal Battle of Kildare, lest his family should be extirpated. He passed over to Wales with his brothers and was pardoned with them. In 1239 he was alienated from King Henry III, by the king's hostility to his brother Gilbert Marshal. In 1240 he was sent into Wales with a large army to strengthen Cardigan Castle, and he took for his brother Gilbert lands appurtenant to the honour of Carmarthen. In June 1241 he took part in the tournament at which Gilbert Marshal was mortally wounded. The king at first refused to invest Walter in the Earldom of Pembroke as Gilbert's heir, because he had forbidden the tournament, but on 27 October the king relented and invested Walter with both the earldom and office of Marshal. He served as a captain in the king's army in Gascony and Poitou in 1242. In 1243 he surrendered his wife's castle of Bolingbroke, Lincolnshire and her mother's lands in Lincolnshire, which estates were subsequently restored to him and his wife, Margaret. In 1244 he was one of the laymen who was elected to consider the king's demand for a subsidy. He presented to the church of West Halton, Lincolnshire in 1242, and to a mediety of the church of Toynton St. Peter, Lincolnshire in 1245. SIR WALTER MARSHAL, Earl of Pembroke, died at Goodrich Castle, Herefordshire 24 Nov. 1245, and was buried at Tintern Abbey, Monmouthshire. By judgments of the King's court, his widow, Margaret, recovered dower out of lands in Ireland held by Walter Marshal, and she received seisin of one-third of all of the Earl's lands and tenements in Ireland. In 1252 his widow, Margaret, and Richard de Wiltshire were granted a yearly fair at the manor of Chelbury, Lincolnshire. In 1262 an action of recaption was brought against Margaret, Countess of Lincoln, Joce de Stepping [her steward], and John de Lusby. In 1263 the king promised that her executors should have free administration of her goods. In the period, 1263-6, Master Walter of Stainsby filed a writ of attachment against Joce de Stepping, Steward of Margaret, Countess of Lincoln, which required Joce to answer for having distrained Master Walter to perform suit at the court of Lusby contrary to law. Margaret, Countess of Lincoln and Pembroke, died at Hampstead, Middlesex shortly before 30 March 1266, and was buried near her father in the Church of the Hospitallers, Clerkenwell, Middlesex.

His father in his lifetime gave him Sturminster, Dorset. His father or his brother gave him Goodrich Castle, Herefordshire and Bere, Dorset. In 1233 he supported his brother, Richard, against the king's foreign favorites and his lands were forfeited. In 1234 he was in Ireland with his brother Richard, who sent him away before the fatal Battle of Kildare, lest his family should be extirpated. He passed over to Wales with his brothers and was pardoned with them. In 1239 he was alienated from King Henry III, by the king's hostility to his brother, Gilbert Marshal. In 1240 he was sent into Wales with a large army to strengthen Cardigan Castle, and he took for his brother Gilbert lands appurtenant to the honour of Carmarthen. In June 1241 he took part in the tournament at which Gilbert Marshal was mortally wounded. The king at first refused to invest Walter in the Earldom of Pembroke as Gilbert's heir, because he had forbidden the tournament, but on 27 October the king relented and invested Walter with both the earldom and office of Marshal. He married 6 Jan. 1241/2 MARGARET (or MARGERY) DE QUINCY, widow of John de Lacy (or Lascy) (also known as John of Chester), Knt., Earl of Lincoln, hereditary Constable of Chester (died 22 July 1240) [see LACY 3], and daughter and heiress of Robert de Quincy, by Hawise, sue jure Countess of Lincoln, daughter of Hugh, Earl of Chester [see QUINCY 6.i for her ancestry]. She was born before 1217. They had no issue. He served as a captain in the king's army in Gascony and Poitou in 1242. In 1243 he surrendered his wife's castle of Bolingbroke, Lincolnshire and her mother's lands in Lincolnshire, which estates were subsequently restored to him and his wife, Margaret. In 1244 he was one of the laymen who was elected to consider the king's demand for a subsidy. He presented to the church of West Halton, Lincolnshire in 1242, and to a mediety of the church of Toynton St. Peter, Lincolnshire in 1245. SIR WALTER MARSHAL, Earl of Pembroke, died at Goodrich Castle, Herefordshire 24 Nov. 1245, and was buried at Tintern Abbey, Monmouthshire. By judgments of the King's court, his widow, Margaret, recovered dower out of lands in Ireland held by Walter Marshal, and she received seisin of one-third of all of the Earl's lands and tenements in Ireland. In 1252 his widow, Margaret, and Richard de Wiltshire were granted a yearly fair at the manor of Chelbury, Lincolnshire. In 1262 an action of recaption was brought against Margaret, Countess of Lincoln, Joce de Stepping [her steward], and John de Lusby. In 1263 the king promised that her executors should have free administration of her goods. In the period, 1263-6, Master Walter of Stainsby filed a writ of attachment against Joce de Stepping, Steward of Margaret, Countess of Lincoln, which required Joce to answer for having distrained Master Walter to perform suit at the court of Lusby contrary to law.

6110 RESEARCH_NOTES:
1. “Royal Ancestry: A Study in Colonial & Medieval Families,” Douglas Richardson (2013):
“HUGH, 6th Earl of Chester, hereditary Vicomte of Avranches in Normandy, seigneur of Saint Sever and Briquessart, son and heir, born about 1141 (of age in 1162). He is sometimes called Hugh of Cyfeiliog, because, according to a late writer, he was born in that district of Wales. According to the chronicler, John of Hexham, it was agreed at Carlisle in 1150 that a son of Ranulph, Earl of Chester, should marry one of the daughters of Henry, son of the king of Scotland. The son of Earl Ranulph was presumably his eldest son, Hugh. The projected marriage never took place. In the period, 1154-7, Earl Hugh and his mother, Countess Maud, gave Styvechale (south of Coventry) to Walter, Bishop of Chester, and his successors for the absolution of Hugh's father, Lord Earl Ranulph, and the redemption of his soul and that of his ancestors. Sometime in the period, 1155- 63, the king ordered Earl Hugh and his mother, Countess Maud, to give to the Abbot and monks of Gloucester the rents which Hugh's father, Earl Ranulph, gave them in the mills of Oldney and Tadwell. He was present in 1163 at Dover for King Henry II's renewal of the Flemish money fief, and also attended the Council of Clarendon in January 1164. Sometime in the period, 1166-87, he confirmed the former grant made to Saint-Etienne Abbey, Caen by Ranulph, Vicomte of Bayeux, his ancestor, of all the land the said Ranulph possessed at Bretteville-l'Orgueilleuse. He married in 1169 BERTRADE DE MONTFORT, daughter of Simon de Montfort, Count of Evreux, seigneur of Montfort-l'Amaury, by his wife, Maud. She was born about 1156 (aged 29 in 1185). They had one son, Ranulph, Knt. [Earl of Chester and Lincoln], and five daughters, Maud, Mabel, Agnes, Hawise, and (wife of Llywelyn ap Iorwerth, Prince of North Wales). By an unknown mistress (or mistresses), he also had two illegitimate sons, William (or Pain) (of Milton), and Roger, and one illegitimate daughter, Amice. Hugh joined the rebellion of King Henry II's sons in 1173. He was captured by King Henry II at Dol in August 1173. In 1174 he was deprived of his lands for rebellion. He was subsequently regranted his honours and lands at the Council of Northampton in 1177. In March 1178 he witnessed King Henry II's award in the dispute between Alfonso IX, King of Castile, and Sancho V, King of Navarre. During his lifetime, he granted some lands in the Wirral to the Abbey of St. Werburgh, Chester, and made other special gifts to Stanlow Priory, St Mary's, Coventry, and the nuns of Buffington and Greenfield priories. He also confirmed his mother's grants to her foundation of Augustinian canons at Calke, Derbyshire, and those of his father to his convent of the Benedictine nuns of St Mary's, Chester. In 1171 he confirmed the grants of his father to the Abbey of St. Stephen in the diocese of Bayeux. He likewise granted the church of Belchford, Lincolnshire to Trentham Priory, and the church of Combe, Gloucestershire to the Abbey of Bordesley, Warwickshire. HUGH, Earl of Chester, died at Leek, Staffordshire 30 June 1181, and was buried next to his father in the chapter house of St Werburgh's, Chester. Sometime in the period, 1188-99, his widow, Bertrade, witnessed a charter of her son, Ranulph, Earl of Chester. In the period, 1190-1200, she reached agreement with the abbot and convent of Troarn in Normandy regarding the construction of a mill and fishpond on the boundary between her wood and theirs. Sometime before 1194-1203, she exchanged lands with the canons of Repton. Sometime in the period, 1200-10, she granted to Ralph Carbonel, of Halton, Lincolnshire, for his homage and service a half a knight's fee which he held of the said countess in Halton. In 1223 Richard Duket and Simon de Sees brought a plea of novel disseisin against her touching a tenement in Harmston, Lincolnshire. In 1226 she presented to the church of Waddington, Lincolnshire. In 1227 she arraigned an assize of last presentation to the church of Waddington, Lincolnshire against the abbot of St. Sever. Bertrade, Countess of Chester, died in 1227, after 31 March.

Children of Hugh, Earl of Chester, by Bertrade de Montfort:
i. RANULPH, Knt., Earl of Chester, Vicomte of Avranches in Normandy, Judge in the King's Court, 1193, Constable of Sermilly Castle, 1201-4, Constable of the Tower of Avranches, 1203, Governor of the Peak Castle and Forest, 1215, Sheriff of Lancashire, 1216-22, Sheriff of Shropshire and Staffordshire, 1216,1217-23, Steward of the Town and Honour of Lancaster, 1216-23, Constable of Fotheringay Castle, 1221-2, Steward of the Honour of Leicester, 1222, and, in right of his 1st wife, Duke of Brittany, Earl of Richmond, son and heir, born at Oswestry in Powys c.1172. He was knighted by the king at Caen 1 Jan. 1187/8. He married (1st) 3 Feb. 1187/8 (or 1189) CONSTANCE OF BRITTANY [see BRITTANY 6], widow of Geoffrey of England, Duke of Brittany, Earl of Richmond (killed in a tournament at Paris 19 August 1186) [see ENGLAND 4.v], and daughter and heiress of Conan IV le Petit, Duke of Brittany, Earl of Richmond, by Margaret, daughter of Henry of Scotland, Earl of Northumberland [see BRITTANY 5 for her ancestry]. She was born about 1162. They had no issue. In 1194 he was commander of the forces for King Richard I. He took part in the second Coronation of King Richard I, which was solemnised in Winchester Cathedral 17 April 1194. In 1196 Ranulph captured his wife, Constance, en route to her finalizing negotiations with King Richard I and confined her at Benvron for at least a year. Soon after her release, she sought the annulment of their marriage, which was granted in 1199, presumably on grounds on consanguinity; she subsequently married (3rd) before October 1199 (as his 1st wife) GUY DE THOUARS, in right of his 1st wife, Count (or Duke) of Brittany, Earl of Richmond [see BRITTANY 6]. Constance died testate at Nantes 4 (or 5) Sept. 1201. Ranulph married (2nd) before 7 October 1200 CLEMENCE DE FOUGERES, widow of Main de Vitre (or Dinan) (died 1198), seigneur of Dinan, and daughter of Guillaume de Fougères, seigneur of Fougères, by Agatha, daughter of Guillaume du Hommet, Constable of Normandy [see FOUGERES 5 for her ancestry]. Her maritagium included land in the valley of Mortain. They had no issue. He was engaged in warfare with the Welsh from 1209 to 1214. He was faithful to King John against the rebellious Barons. He was one of the executors of King John who died 19 October 1216; and one of most zealous supporters of the young king, Henry III. In 1217, as Joint Commander of the royal army, he contributed to the defeat of the rebels under the Count of Perche. He was created Earl of Lincoln 23 May 1217. He went on crusade to the Holy Land in May 1218, and distinguished himself at the Siege of Damietta. He returned to England in August 1220. In 1223 he was required to surrender his castles. In 1229 he opposed in Parliament the grant of a tenth to the Pope, and forbade its collection in his own domain. In 1229 Earl Ranulph granted tithes in Wilsford, Wiltshire, formerly held of the Earl of Lincoln, to Roger, Succentor of Salisbury. He served as Chief Commander of the royal troops in Brittany, 1230-1, and in June 1231 was a Joint Commissioner to treat with France. Sometime between April 1231 and his death, he resigned the earldom of Lincoln to his sister, Hawise de Quincy. RANULPH, Earl of Chester, died at Wallingford 28 October 1232, and was buried at St. Werburg's, Chester, his heart being interred at Dieulacres Abbey. His widow, Clemence, died in 1252. Sandford Gen.

6111 RESEARCH_NOTES:
1. “Royal Ancestry: A Study in Colonial & Medieval Families,” Douglas Richardson (2013):
“HUGH, 6th Earl of Chester, hereditary Vicomte of Avranches in Normandy, seigneur of Saint Sever and Briquessart, son and heir, born about 1141 (of age in 1162). He is sometimes called Hugh of Cyfeiliog, because, according to a late writer, he was born in that district of Wales. According to the chronicler, John of Hexham, it was agreed at Carlisle in 1150 that a son of Ranulph, Earl of Chester, should marry one of the daughters of Henry, son of the king of Scotland. The son of Earl Ranulph was presumably his eldest son, Hugh. The projected marriage never took place. In the period, 1154-7, Earl Hugh and his mother, Countess Maud, gave Styvechale (south of Coventry) to Walter, Bishop of Chester, and his successors for the absolution of Hugh's father, Lord Earl Ranulph, and the redemption of his soul and that of his ancestors. Sometime in the period, 1155- 63, the king ordered Earl Hugh and his mother, Countess Maud, to give to the Abbot and monks of Gloucester the rents which Hugh's father, Earl Ranulph, gave them in the mills of Oldney and Tadwell. He was present in 1163 at Dover for King Henry II's renewal of the Flemish money fief, and also attended the Council of Clarendon in January 1164. Sometime in the period, 1166-87, he confirmed the former grant made to Saint-Etienne Abbey, Caen by Ranulph, Vicomte of Bayeux, his ancestor, of all the land the said Ranulph possessed at Bretteville-l'Orgueilleuse. He married in 1169 BERTRADE DE MONTFORT, daughter of Simon de Montfort, Count of Evreux, seigneur of Montfort-l'Amaury, by his wife, Maud. She was born about 1156 (aged 29 in 1185). They had one son, Ranulph, Knt. [Earl of Chester and Lincoln], and five daughters, Maud, Mabel, Agnes, Hawise, and (wife of Llywelyn ap Iorwerth, Prince of North Wales). By an unknown mistress (or mistresses), he also had two illegitimate sons, William (or Pain) (of Milton), and Roger, and one illegitimate daughter, Amice. Hugh joined the rebellion of King Henry II's sons in 1173. He was captured by King Henry II at Dol in August 1173. In 1174 he was deprived of his lands for rebellion. He was subsequently regranted his honours and lands at the Council of Northampton in 1177. In March 1178 he witnessed King Henry II's award in the dispute between Alfonso IX, King of Castile, and Sancho V, King of Navarre. During his lifetime, he granted some lands in the Wirral to the Abbey of St. Werburgh, Chester, and made other special gifts to Stanlow Priory, St Mary's, Coventry, and the nuns of Buffington and Greenfield priories. He also confirmed his mother's grants to her foundation of Augustinian canons at Calke, Derbyshire, and those of his father to his convent of the Benedictine nuns of St Mary's, Chester. In 1171 he confirmed the grants of his father to the Abbey of St. Stephen in the diocese of Bayeux. He likewise granted the church of Belchford, Lincolnshire to Trentham Priory, and the church of Combe, Gloucestershire to the Abbey of Bordesley, Warwickshire. HUGH, Earl of Chester, died at Leek, Staffordshire 30 June 1181, and was buried next to his father in the chapter house of St Werburgh's, Chester. Sometime in the period, 1188-99, his widow, Bertrade, witnessed a charter of her son, Ranulph, Earl of Chester. In the period, 1190-1200, she reached agreement with the abbot and convent of Troarn in Normandy regarding the construction of a mill and fishpond on the boundary between her wood and theirs. Sometime before 1194-1203, she exchanged lands with the canons of Repton. Sometime in the period, 1200-10, she granted to Ralph Carbonel, of Halton, Lincolnshire, for his homage and service a half a knight's fee which he held of the said countess in Halton. In 1223 Richard Duket and Simon de Sees brought a plea of novel disseisin against her touching a tenement in Harmston, Lincolnshire. In 1226 she presented to the church of Waddington, Lincolnshire. In 1227 she arraigned an assize of last presentation to the church of Waddington, Lincolnshire against the abbot of St. Sever. Bertrade, Countess of Chester, died in 1227, after 31 March.

In 1196 Ranulph captured his wife, Constance, en route to her finalizing negotiations with King Richard I and confined her at Benvron for at least a year. Soon after her release, she sought the annulment of their marriage, which was granted in 1199, presumably on grounds on consanguinity; she subsequently married (3rd) before October 1199 (as his 1st wife) GUY DE THOUARS, in right of his 1st wife, Count (or Duke) of Brittany, Earl of Richmond [see BRITTANY 6].

Her maritagium included land in the valley of Mortain. They had no issue. He was engaged in warfare with the Welsh from 1209 to 1214. He was faithful to King John against the rebellious Barons. He was one of the executors of King John who died 19 October 1216; and one of most zealous supporters of the young king, Henry III. In 1217, as Joint Commander of the royal army, he contributed to the defeat of the rebels under the Count of Perche. He was created Earl of Lincoln 23 May 1217. He went on crusade to the Holy Land in May 1218, and distinguished himself at the Siege of Damietta. He returned to England in August 1220. In 1223 he was required to surrender his castles. In 1229 he opposed in Parliament the grant of a tenth to the Pope, and forbade its collection in his own domain. In 1229 Earl Ranulph granted tithes in Wilsford, Wiltshire, formerly held of the Earl of Lincoln, to Roger, Succentor of Salisbury.

1. “Royal Ancestry: A Study in Colonial & Medieval Families,” Douglas Richardson (2013):
“HUGH, 6th Earl of Chester, hereditary Vicomte of Avranches in Normandy, seigneur of Saint Sever and Briquessart, son and heir, born about 1141 (of age in 1162). He is sometimes called Hugh of Cyfeiliog, because, according to a late writer, he was born in that district of Wales. According to the chronicler, John of Hexham, it was agreed at Carlisle in 1150 that a son of Ranulph, Earl of Chester, should marry one of the daughters of Henry, son of the king of Scotland. The son of Earl Ranulph was presumably his eldest son, Hugh. The projected marriage never took place. In the period, 1154-7, Earl Hugh and his mother, Countess Maud, gave Styvechale (south of Coventry) to Walter, Bishop of Chester, and his successors for the absolution of Hugh's father, Lord Earl Ranulph, and the redemption of his soul and that of his ancestors. Sometime in the period, 1155- 63, the king ordered Earl Hugh and his mother, Countess Maud, to give to the Abbot and monks of Gloucester the rents which Hugh's father, Earl Ranulph, gave them in the mills of Oldney and Tadwell. He was present in 1163 at Dover for King Henry II's renewal of the Flemish money fief, and also attended the Council of Clarendon in January 1164. Sometime in the period, 1166-87, he confirmed the former grant made to Saint-Etienne Abbey, Caen by Ranulph, Vicomte of Bayeux, his ancestor, of all the land the said Ranulph possessed at Bretteville-l'Orgueilleuse. He married in 1169 BERTRADE DE MONTFORT, daughter of Simon de Montfort, Count of Evreux, seigneur of Montfort-l'Amaury, by his wife, Maud. She was born about 1156 (aged 29 in 1185). They had one son, Ranulph, Knt. [Earl of Chester and Lincoln], and five daughters, Maud, Mabel, Agnes, Hawise, and (wife of Llywelyn ap Iorwerth, Prince of North Wales). By an unknown mistress (or mistresses), he also had two illegitimate sons, William (or Pain) (of Milton), and Roger, and one illegitimate daughter, Amice. Hugh joined the rebellion of King Henry II's sons in 1173. He was captured by King Henry II at Dol in August 1173. In 1174 he was deprived of his lands for rebellion. He was subsequently regranted his honours and lands at the Council of Northampton in 1177. In March 1178 he witnessed King Henry II's award in the dispute between Alfonso IX, King of Castile, and Sancho V, King of Navarre. During his lifetime, he granted some lands in the Wirral to the Abbey of St. Werburgh, Chester, and made other special gifts to Stanlow Priory, St Mary's, Coventry, and the nuns of Buffington and Greenfield priories. He also confirmed his mother's grants to her foundation of Augustinian canons at Calke, Derbyshire, and those of his father to his convent of the Benedictine nuns of St Mary's, Chester. In 1171 he confirmed the grants of his father to the Abbey of St. Stephen in the diocese of Bayeux. He likewise granted the church of Belchford, Lincolnshire to Trentham Priory, and the church of Combe, Gloucestershire to the Abbey of Bordesley, Warwickshire. HUGH, Earl of Chester, died at Leek, Staffordshire 30 June 1181, and was buried next to his father in the chapter house of St Werburgh's, Chester. Sometime in the period, 1188-99, his widow, Bertrade, witnessed a charter of her son, Ranulph, Earl of Chester. In the period, 1190-1200, she reached agreement with the abbot and convent of Troarn in Normandy regarding the construction of a mill and fishpond on the boundary between her wood and theirs. Sometime before 1194-1203, she exchanged lands with the canons of Repton. Sometime in the period, 1200-10, she granted to Ralph Carbonel, of Halton, Lincolnshire, for his homage and service a half a knight's fee which he held of the said countess in Halton. In 1223 Richard Duket and Simon de Sees brought a plea of novel disseisin against her touching a tenement in Harmston, Lincolnshire. In 1226 she presented to the church of Waddington, Lincolnshire. In 1227 she arraigned an assize of last presentation to the church of Waddington, Lincolnshire against the abbot of St. Sever. Bertrade, Countess of Chester, died in 1227, after 31 March.

“AGNES OF CHESTER, married in 1192 WILLIAM DE FERRERS, Knt, 4th Earl of Derby, Sheriff of Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire, 1194, Sheriff of Lancashire, 1223-8, son and heir of William de Ferrers, 3rd Earl of Derby, by Sibyl, daughter of William de Briouze (or Brewes). They had five sons, William, Knt. [5th Earl of Derby], Thomas, Knt, Hugh, Knt., Robert, and Ranulph (parson of St. Michael's on the Wyre, Lancashire), and three daughters, Bertha, Agnes (wife of Richard de Montfitchet), and ___. He had livery of his lands in 1190-91. Before the return of King Richard I from captivity to England, he supported the Justiciar against John, Count of Mortain, and, with the Earl of Chester, he besieged Nottingham Castle. He took part in the second Coronation of King Richard I, which was solemnized in Winchester Cathedral 17 April 1194. He was present at the Coronation of King John 27 May 1199. On 7 June 1199 the king restored and confirmed to him the third penny of Derby, and with his own hand girded him with the sword as an Earl. In 1213 he witnessed the king's surrender of the kingdom to Pope Innocent III. He was a witness to the last will of King John in 1216, and appointed one of its managers and disposers. He was present at the Coronation of King Henry III 28 October 1216. On 30 October following, the king granted him the Castles of Peak and Bolsover, Derbyshire, and, on 16 Jan. 1216/17, he was granted the manor of Melbourne, Derbyshire to hold until the king was 14 years of age. He assisted the Regent to raise the Siege of Lincoln Castle 20 May 1217, and, with his brother-in-law, Ranulph, Earl of Chester, he commanded the royal forces which razed Montsorel Castle. In June 1218 he went on Crusade. In 1225 he witnessed the third great charter of King Henry III. He was heir c.1226/7 to his younger brother, Robert de Ferrers. He accompanied the king in the expedition to Brittany and Poitou in 1230. In 1230 the king pardoned him up to 100 marks of the £170 which were exacted from him for the debts of his uncle, Robert de Ferrers. He was present at the Council of London Feb. 1231/2. His wife, Agnes, was co-heiress in 1232 to her brother, Ranulph, Earl of Chester and Lincoln, by which she inherited the Castle and manor of Chartley, Staffordshire, the Castle and vill of West Derby, Lancashire, and the borough of Liverpool, Lancashire, together with all the lands which Earl Ranulph had held between Ribble and Mersey (including the fiefs of Manchester, Widnes, Warrington, Tottington and Croston, Makerfield and Sefton, Lancashire), and the vills of Bugbrooke, Northamptonshire and Navenby, Lincolnshire. In 1236 he and his wife, Agnes, quitclaimed the advowson of the church of Bolton, Lancashire to Herbert, Prior of Mattersey. He presented to the churches of Brington, Northamptonshire, 1237, and Higham Ferrers, Northamptonshire, 1238. In 1241 Stephen de Meverel sued William de Ferrers, Earl of Derby, and Agnes his wife regarding the advowson of Gatton, Staffordshire; William and Agnes appeared by attorney, and stated that the advowson formed part of the inheritance of Agnes, which fell to her by the death of Ranulph, Earl of Chester, and that they could not answer without their co-parceners. In 1244 he was summoned for military service against the Scots. At an unknown date, he granted 24 acres in his Forest of Needwood to Robert son of Thomas of the Cross. At an unknown date, he granted 19 acres in the manor of Horecross (in Yoxall), Staffordshire to Bartholomew Andwinckle. At an unknown date, he granted all the town of Horecross (in Yoxall), Staffordshire to Hugh Melbourn. SIR WILLIAM DE FERRERS, Earl of Derby, died testate 22 Sept. 1247. His widow, Agnes, died testate 2 Nov. 1247.

1. “Royal Ancestry: A Study in Colonial & Medieval Families,” Douglas Richardson (2013):
“HUGH, 6th Earl of Chester, hereditary Vicomte of Avranches in Normandy, seigneur of Saint Sever and Briquessart, son and heir, born about 1141 (of age in 1162). He is sometimes called Hugh of Cyfeiliog, because, according to a late writer, he was born in that district of Wales. According to the chronicler, John of Hexham, it was agreed at Carlisle in 1150 that a son of Ranulph, Earl of Chester, should marry one of the daughters of Henry, son of the king of Scotland. The son of Earl Ranulph was presumably his eldest son, Hugh. The projected marriage never took place. In the period, 1154-7, Earl Hugh and his mother, Countess Maud, gave Styvechale (south of Coventry) to Walter, Bishop of Chester, and his successors for the absolution of Hugh's father, Lord Earl Ranulph, and the redemption of his soul and that of his ancestors. Sometime in the period, 1155- 63, the king ordered Earl Hugh and his mother, Countess Maud, to give to the Abbot and monks of Gloucester the rents which Hugh's father, Earl Ranulph, gave them in the mills of Oldney and Tadwell. He was present in 1163 at Dover for King Henry II's renewal of the Flemish money fief, and also attended the Council of Clarendon in January 1164. Sometime in the period, 1166-87, he confirmed the former grant made to Saint-Etienne Abbey, Caen by Ranulph, Vicomte of Bayeux, his ancestor, of all the land the said Ranulph possessed at Bretteville-l'Orgueilleuse. He married in 1169 BERTRADE DE MONTFORT, daughter of Simon de Montfort, Count of Evreux, seigneur of Montfort-l'Amaury, by his wife, Maud. She was born about 1156 (aged 29 in 1185). They had one son, Ranulph, Knt. [Earl of Chester and Lincoln], and five daughters, Maud, Mabel, Agnes, Hawise, and (wife of Llywelyn ap Iorwerth, Prince of North Wales). By an unknown mistress (or mistresses), he also had two illegitimate sons, William (or Pain) (of Milton), and Roger, and one illegitimate daughter, Amice. Hugh joined the rebellion of King Henry II's sons in 1173. He was captured by King Henry II at Dol in August 1173. In 1174 he was deprived of his lands for rebellion. He was subsequently regranted his honours and lands at the Council of Northampton in 1177. In March 1178 he witnessed King Henry II's award in the dispute between Alfonso IX, King of Castile, and Sancho V, King of Navarre. During his lifetime, he granted some lands in the Wirral to the Abbey of St. Werburgh, Chester, and made other special gifts to Stanlow Priory, St Mary's, Coventry, and the nuns of Buffington and Greenfield priories. He also confirmed his mother's grants to her foundation of Augustinian canons at Calke, Derbyshire, and those of his father to his convent of the Benedictine nuns of St Mary's, Chester. In 1171 he confirmed the grants of his father to the Abbey of St. Stephen in the diocese of Bayeux. He likewise granted the church of Belchford, Lincolnshire to Trentham Priory, and the church of Combe, Gloucestershire to the Abbey of Bordesley, Warwickshire. HUGH, Earl of Chester, died at Leek, Staffordshire 30 June 1181, and was buried next to his father in the chapter house of St Werburgh's, Chester. Sometime in the period, 1188-99, his widow, Bertrade, witnessed a charter of her son, Ranulph, Earl of Chester. In the period, 1190-1200, she reached agreement with the abbot and convent of Troarn in Normandy regarding the construction of a mill and fishpond on the boundary between her wood and theirs. Sometime before 1194-1203, she exchanged lands with the canons of Repton. Sometime in the period, 1200-10, she granted to Ralph Carbonel, of Halton, Lincolnshire, for his homage and service a half a knight's fee which he held of the said countess in Halton. In 1223 Richard Duket and Simon de Sees brought a plea of novel disseisin against her touching a tenement in Harmston, Lincolnshire. In 1226 she presented to the church of Waddington, Lincolnshire. In 1227 she arraigned an assize of last presentation to the church of Waddington, Lincolnshire against the abbot of St. Sever. Bertrade, Countess of Chester, died in 1227, after 31 March.

Children of Hugh, Earl of Chester, by Bertrade de Montfort:
i. RANULPH, Knt., Earl of Chester, Vicomte of Avranches in Normandy, Judge in the King's Court, 1193, Constable of Sermilly Castle, 1201-4, Constable of the Tower of Avranches, 1203, Governor of the Peak Castle and Forest, 1215, Sheriff of Lancashire, 1216-22, Sheriff of Shropshire and Staffordshire, 1216,1217-23, Steward of the Town and Honour of Lancaster, 1216-23, Constable of Fotheringay Castle, 1221-2, Steward of the Honour of Leicester, 1222, and, in right of his 1st wife, Duke of Brittany, Earl of Richmond, son and heir, born at Oswestry in Powys c.1172. He was knighted by the king at Caen 1 Jan. 1187/8. He married (1st) 3 Feb. 1187/8 (or 1189) CONSTANCE OF BRITTANY [see BRITTANY 6], widow of Geoffrey of England, Duke of Brittany, Earl of Richmond (killed in a tournament at Paris 19 August 1186) [see ENGLAND 4.v], and daughter and heiress of Conan IV le Petit, Duke of Brittany, Earl of Richmond, by Margaret, daughter of Henry of Scotland, Earl of Northumberland [see BRITTANY 5 for her ancestry]. She was born about 1162. They had no issue. In 1194 he was commander of the forces for King Richard I. He took part in the second Coronation of King Richard I, which was solemnised in Winchester Cathedral 17 April 1194. In 1196 Ranulph captured his wife, Constance, en route to her finalizing negotiations with King Richard I and confined her at Benvron for at least a year. Soon after her release, she sought the annulment of their marriage, which was granted in 1199, presumably on grounds on consanguinity; she subsequently married (3rd) before October 1199 (as his 1st wife) GUY DE THOUARS, in right of his 1st wife, Count (or Duke) of Brittany, Earl of Richmond [see BRITTANY 6]. Constance died testate at Nantes 4 (or 5) Sept. 1201. Ranulph married (2nd) before 7 October 1200 CLEMENCE DE FOUGERES, widow of Main de Vitre (or Dinan) (died 1198), seigneur of Dinan, and daughter of Guillaume de Fougères, seigneur of Fougères, by Agatha, daughter of Guillaume du Hommet, Constable of Normandy [see FOUGERES 5 for her ancestry]. Her maritagium included land in the valley of Mortain. They had no issue. He was engaged in warfare with the Welsh from 1209 to 1214. He was faithful to King John against the rebellious Barons. He was one of the executors of King John who died 19 October 1216; and one of most zealous supporters of the young king, Henry III. In 1217, as Joint Commander of the royal army, he contributed to the defeat of the rebels under the Count of Perche. He was created Earl of Lincoln 23 May 1217. He went on crusade to the Holy Land in May 1218, and distinguished himself at the Siege of Damietta. He returned to England in August 1220. In 1223 he was required to surrender his castles. In 1229 he opposed in Parliament the grant of a tenth to the Pope, and forbade its collection in his own domain. In 1229 Earl Ranulph granted tithes in Wilsford, Wiltshire, formerly held of the Earl of Lincoln, to Roger, Succentor of Salisbury. He served as Chief Commander of the royal troops in Brittany, 1230-1, and in June 1231 was a Joint Commissioner to treat with France. Sometime between April 1231 and his death, he resigned the earldom of Lincoln to his sister, Hawise de Quincy. RANULPH, Earl of Chester, died at Wallingford 28 October 1232, and was buried at St. Werburg's, Chester, his heart being interred at Dieulacres Abbey. His widow, Clemence, died in 1252. Sandford Gen.

“MAUD OF GLOUCESTER, married before 1135 RANULPH DE GERNONS, Knt., 5th Earl of Chester, lord of Eastham and Macclesfield, Cheshire, Coventry, Warwickshire, Barrow upon Soar, Leicestershire, and Greetham, Lincolnshire, etc., hereditary Vicomte of Avranches in Normandy, son and heir of Ranulph (nicknamed le Meschin), 4th Earl of Chester, hereditary Vicomte of Bayeux, by Lucy, widow of Ives de Taillebois and Roger Fitz Gerold, and heiress (and possibly daughter) of Thorold, Sheriff of Lincoln. He was probably born about 1105. She had the manor of Chipping Campden, Gloucestershire by the gift of her father. They had two sons, Hugh [6th Earl of Chester] and Richard. By an unknown mistress, he apparently had an illegitimate son, Robert Fitz Count. He was present at royal councils in Northampton, 1131, Westminster, 1132, and Windsor, 1132. He accepted King Stephen's accession in 1135, and attended the royal council at Westminster in 1136. In 1136 he witnessed the Oxford charter of liberties. In 1136 or 1137 he led a disastrous expedition into Wales from which he was one of the few to escape alive. In 1140 he attempted to capture Henry of Scotland and his wife on their return from King Stephen's court. The same year he surprised the city of Lincoln and manned it for the empress. The king's response was to visit Lincolnshire, where he peaceably renewed a pact with Ranulph. King Stephen left for London before Christmas, but made a surprise return during the festival to lay siege to Lincoln Castle. Ranulph managed to escape, obtained the armed assistance of his father-in-law, Robert, Earl of Gloucester, and other Angevin adherents, raised soldiers from Cheshire and Wales, and marched back to Lincoln, where his wife and half-brother were continuing to resist the siege. At the subsequent Battle of Lincoln 2 February 1141 the king was captured, and Ranulph followed up his victory with sack and slaughter in the city itself. At the Siege of Winchester in September 1141 he initially joined the queen's army, only to encounter such suspicion and hostility that he switched to the empress's camp. In 1144 he was besieged in Lincoln by the king. He met King Stephen at Stamford probably early in 1146, where he apparently renewed his fealty to the king. The king granted him royal manors in Warwickshire, Leicestershire, Nottinghamshire, and Lincolnshire, the towns of Newcastle under Lyme, and Derby, land in Grimsby, and the soke of Grantham, plus the honors of William d'Aubeny Brito (Belvoir), Roger de Bully (Tickhill), and Roger de Poitou (Lancaster, although that which lay north of the Ribble was under Scottish control). He was also confirmed in his tenure of Lincoln Castle. He duly helped Stephen to capture Bedford town and besiege Wallingford Castle in 1146, but the king and the royalist magnates remained deeply suspicious of his failure to restore revenues from royal lands and castles he had seized. He was again with the king at Northampton 29 August 1146, but his refusal to give hostages or restore royal property led to his sudden arrest and imprisonment He was released after agreeing to Stephen's terms and taking an oath not to resist the king in future, whereupon he set about trying to recover by force what he had been obliged to surrender. Subsequent campaigns led to armed confrontations with Stephen's son Eustache, and on at least two occasions, near Coventry (probably early in 1147) and Lincoln (1149), with the king himself. He did homage to David I, King of Scots at Carlisle in 1149, who granted him the honour of Lancaster (including lands north of the Ribble) in exchange for a renunciation of claims to Carlisle. In 1150, in alliance with Madog ap Maredudd, king of Powys, he prepared an attack on Owain Gwynedd, but the enterprise collapsed after defeat at Coleshill. Some time between 1149 and 1153, he made a formal agreement with Robert, Earl of Leicester, whereby each pledged to bring only twenty knights if obliged by his liege lord to fight against the other. Both earls joined the Angevin campaign in 1153. At Devizes in 1153, Henry, Duke of Normandy gave him lavish grants in the north midlands, including the estates of several royalist barons which the earl was effectively being invited to seize; Ranulph was also restored in his 'Norman inheritance,' which has been interpreted to include Breuil, the castle of Vire, and other holdings once associated with his family, together with comital status and extensive lordship in the Avranchin. During his lifetime, Ranulph founded four religious houses, including an abbey for Savignac monks at Basingwerk, Flintshire, in 1131, priories for Benedictine monks and nuns at Minting, Lincolnshire, and Chester respectively (both at uncertain dates), and, on his deathbed, a priory for Augustinian canons at Trentham, Staffordshire. RANULPH DE GERNONS, Earl of Chester, died at Gresley, Derbyshire 17 Dec. 1153, and was buried at St. Werburg's, Chester. Sometime in the period, 1153-59, his widow, Maud, with consent of her son, Hugh, gave the canons of Calke, then part of Ticknall, the church of St. Wiestan-in-Repton, Derbyshire. Probably in 1158 Queen Eleanor, wife of Henry II, gave confirmation to his widow, Maud, of her wapentake and hundred of Repton, Derbyshire. In 1172 she founded Repton Priory, Derbyshire. Maud, Countess of Chester, died 29 July 1189.

“Children of Saher de Quincy, Knt., by Margaret of Leicester:
i. ROBERT DE QUINCY, son and heir apparent. He married c.1197-1200 (date of charter) HAWISE OF CHESTER, suo jure Countess of Lincoln, daughter of Hugh, Earl of Chester, by Bertrade, daughter of Simon de Montfort, Count of Evreux [see CHESTER 5 for her ancestry]. She was born in 1180. She had 10 librates of land in Waddington, land in Sibsey, and the service of three fees in Cabourn in marriage. They had one daughter, Margaret (or Margery). He and his father were captured at the Battle of Lincoln 20 May 1217. ROBERT DE QUINCY died at London in 1217, and was buried at the Church of the Hospitallers, Clerkenwell, Middlesex. In the period, 1217-19, his widow, Hawise, granted a rent to the brethren of the Hospital of Jerusalem in England for the foundation of a chantry at the Hospitallers' house at Clerkenwell, Middlesex, for the soul of her husband, Robert. About 1230-1 his widow, Hawise, received a charter from her brother, Ranulph, Earl of Chester and Lincoln, purporting to convey to her the Earldom of Lincoln. On 27 October 1232, shortly after Ranulph's death, the King granted the 3rd penny of the county of Lincoln to Hawise as the Earl's sister and co-heiress, in consequence of which grant she may be held to have become the Countess of Lincoln. On the preliminary division of the honour of Chester, she received the castle and manor of Bolingbroke, Lincolnshire, with the Earl's lands in Lindsey and Holland. As Hawise, Countess of Lincoln, she presented to the churches of Toynton All Saints, Lincolnshire, 1235, 1237; Little Steeping, Lincolnshire, 1235; a mediety of Toynton St. Peter, Lincolnshire, 1237; and Winceby, Lincolnshire, 1233, ?1246-7. In 1241 she sued Amabel, widow of Richard Rufus, in a plea of dower in Northamptonshire. Hawise de Quincy, Countess of Lincoln, died shortly before 19 Feb. 1242/3. Brooke Cat.

Children of Mabel of Chester, by William d'Aubeney:
i. HUGH D'AUBENEY, Knt., 5th Earl of Arundel, Chief Butler of England, 2nd son of William d'Aubeney, 3rd Earl of Arundel, by Mabel, 2nd daughter of Hugh, Earl of Chester. He was born about 1214 (of age in 1235). He was heir in 1224 to his older brother, William d'Aubeney, 4th Earl of Arundel. He was co-heir in 1232 to his uncle, Ranulph, Earl of Chester and Lincoln. In 1233 he made fine with the king by 2500 marks to have the lands of his late brother, William d'Aubeney, Earl of Arundel, until his legal age, as well as the lands which fell to Hugh by hereditary right of the lands formerly of his uncle, Ranulph, Earl of Chester and Lincoln. He married in 1234 ISABEL DE WARENNE, daughter of William de Warenne, Knt., 6th Earl of Surrey, Warden of the Cinque Ports, by Maud, daughter of William Marshal, Knt, 4th Earl of Pembroke (or Striguil), hereditary Master Marshal [see WARENNE 8 for her ancestry]. They had no issue. In 1240 he was summoned to restore the manor of Whaddon, Buckinghamshire to the king as an escheat of the Normans. Hugh stated that he, his brother, and his father had all been given livery of the lands, but, though he quoted the terms of the original grant made to his father in 1207, Whaddon was surrendered to the king. In 1242 he accompanied the King in his expedition to Guienne. SIR HUGH D'AUBENEY, Earl of Arundel, died 7 May 1243, and was buried at Wymondham Priory, Norfolk. In 1244 his widow, Countess Isabel, sued Robert de Sheney for the third part of one carucate of land in Smisby, Derbyshire, and Ralph de Kenninghall for the third part of nine acres of land and one acre pf pasture in Kenninghall, Norfolk, and the one third part of 14 acres of land in Riddlesworth, Norfolk. The same year she also sued Thomas le Treys for the third part of one carucate of land in Atdeborough, Norfolk, William de Oddingseles for the third part of one-half carucate of land in Leeds, Yorkshire, Roger de Somery and Nichole his wife for the third part of two carucates of land in Chipping Campden, Gloucestershire, and one third part of one carucate of land in Great Tew, Oxfordshire, and Hugh le Bigod for the one third part of one carucate of land in Stoughton, Sussex. In 1249 Countess Isabel founded the Abbey of Marham, Norfolk. She presented to the church of Shenley, Buckinghamshire in 1272. In 1271 Roger de Somery was engaged in a lengthy lawsuit with her regarding the advowson of the church of Olney, Buckinghamshire; in 1273 it was noted that the patronage of the church was to remain with Roger by a concord between him and Countess Isabel. In 1277-8 Master John de Croft arraigned an assize of novel disseisin against her and others touching a tenement in Bilsham, Sussex. In 1278-9 Nigel le Got arraigned an assize of novel disseisin against her and others touching a tenement in Wymondham, Norfolk.

1. “Royal Ancestry: A Study in Colonial & Medieval Families,” Douglas Richardson (2013):
“HUGUES LE GRAND (also known as Hugues brother of the King), Count of Crépy, younger son, born about 1057. He married about 1080 ADELE DE VERMANDOIS, Countess of Vermandois, daughter of Heribert IV, Count of Vermandois, by Adele, daughter of Raoul III, Count of Valois. They had four sons, Raoul (I) [Count of Vermandois, Count of Peronne], Henri [seigneur of Chaumont-en-Vexin], Simon [Bishop of Noyon], and Guillaume, and five daughters, Mahaut, Beatrice (or Beatrix) (wife of Hugues, seigneur of Gournay-en-Brie), Isabel (or Elizabeth), Constance (wife of Geoffroi de la Ferté-Ancoul), and Agnes (wife of Bonifacio I, Marquis of Vasto). In 1079, as "count Hugh brother of the king" [comitis Hugonis fratris regis], he witnessed his brother King Philippe I's charter confirming the foundation of St.-Quintin Beauvais. In 1081, as "Hugone, Regis fratre, de Crispeio," he and his wife, Adèle, witnessed the foundation charter of Hugues, Count of Dammartin for the Priory of Saint-Leu of Esserent. He witnessed a charter of his brother, King Philippe I, in 1082 as "Hugues, Count of Crépy." HUGUES-LE-GRAND, Count of Crépy, was wounded at the Battle of Heraclea in Sept. 1101, and died at Tarsus in Cilicia 18 October 1101. He was buried in the Cathedral of St. Paul in Tarsus. His widow, Adèle, married (2nd) before 1104 (as his 1st wife) RENAUD II, seigneur of Clermont, afterwards Count of Clermont-en-Beauvaisis, Châtelain of Creil, and, in right of his 1st wife, Count of Vermandois [see CLERMONT 2], son and heir of Hugues de Clermont, seigneur of Clermont-en-Beauvaisis, Breuil-le-Vert, Creil, Luzarches, and Mouchy-Saint-Elou, by Marguerite, daughter of Hildouin (or Hellouin) II, Count of Montdidier [see CLERMONT 1 for his ancestry]. He was born about 1085. They had one daughter, Marguerite (wife of Charles le Bon, Count of Flanders, Hugues II Candavène, Count of Saint Pol, and Baudouin d'Encre). Adèle, Countess of Vermandois, died 28 September, between 1120 and 1124. Renaud married (2nd) CLEMENCE OF BAR, daughter of Renaud I, Count of Bar-le-Duc, by Gisèle, daughter of Gérard, Count of Vaudémont. They had seven sons, Raoul (I) le Roux [Count of Clermont, Constable of France], Simon, Chev., Etienne, Guy, Renaud, Hugues [Dean of Metz, Abbot of Saint-Germer, Saint-Lucien, and Cluny], and Gautier, and three daughters, Marguerite (wife of Guy III de Senlis, seigneur of Chantilly, Boutillier of France), Mahaut (or Mathilde), and Comtesse (wife of Rogues de la Tournelle). In 1152 he confirmed the gifts of his parents, Hugues and Marguerite, and Hugh and Richard, Earls of Chester, to St.-Leu d'Esserent. RENAUD II, Count of Clermont-en-Beauvaisis, died sometime before 1162. His widow, Clemence, married (3rd) THIBAUT III DE NANTEUIL, seigneur of Nanteuil-le-Haudouin and Crépy, son and heir of Thibaut II, seigneur of Nanteuil-le-Haudouin and Crépy, by his 1st wife, Mathilde. They had three sons, Philippe [seigneur of Nanteuil-le-Haudouin], Guy [seigneur of Bouillancy], and Gautier (or Gaucher). THIBAUT III DE NANTEUIL died 20 Jan. 1183. His widow, Clemence, was living in 1185.

1. “Royal Ancestry: A Study in Colonial & Medieval Families,” Douglas Richardson (2013):
“HUGUES LE GRAND (also known as Hugues brother of the King), Count of Crépy, younger son, born about 1057. He married about 1080 ADELE DE VERMANDOIS, Countess of Vermandois, daughter of Heribert IV, Count of Vermandois, by Adele, daughter of Raoul III, Count of Valois. They had four sons, Raoul (I) [Count of Vermandois, Count of Peronne], Henri [seigneur of Chaumont-en-Vexin], Simon [Bishop of Noyon], and Guillaume, and five daughters, Mahaut, Beatrice (or Beatrix) (wife of Hugues, seigneur of Gournay-en-Brie), Isabel (or Elizabeth), Constance (wife of Geoffroi de la Ferté-Ancoul), and Agnes (wife of Bonifacio I, Marquis of Vasto). In 1079, as "count Hugh brother of the king" [comitis Hugonis fratris regis], he witnessed his brother King Philippe I's charter confirming the foundation of St.-Quintin Beauvais. In 1081, as "Hugone, Regis fratre, de Crispeio," he and his wife, Adèle, witnessed the foundation charter of Hugues, Count of Dammartin for the Priory of Saint-Leu of Esserent. He witnessed a charter of his brother, King Philippe I, in 1082 as "Hugues, Count of Crépy." HUGUES-LE-GRAND, Count of Crépy, was wounded at the Battle of Heraclea in Sept. 1101, and died at Tarsus in Cilicia 18 October 1101. He was buried in the Cathedral of St. Paul in Tarsus. His widow, Adèle, married (2nd) before 1104 (as his 1st wife) RENAUD II, seigneur of Clermont, afterwards Count of Clermont-en-Beauvaisis, Châtelain of Creil, and, in right of his 1st wife, Count of Vermandois [see CLERMONT 2], son and heir of Hugues de Clermont, seigneur of Clermont-en-Beauvaisis, Breuil-le-Vert, Creil, Luzarches, and Mouchy-Saint-Elou, by Marguerite, daughter of Hildouin (or Hellouin) II, Count of Montdidier [see CLERMONT 1 for his ancestry]. He was born about 1085. They had one daughter, Marguerite (wife of Charles le Bon, Count of Flanders, Hugues II Candavène, Count of Saint Pol, and Baudouin d'Encre). Adèle, Countess of Vermandois, died 28 September, between 1120 and 1124. Renaud married (2nd) CLEMENCE OF BAR, daughter of Renaud I, Count of Bar-le-Duc, by Gisèle, daughter of Gérard, Count of Vaudémont. They had seven sons, Raoul (I) le Roux [Count of Clermont, Constable of France], Simon, Chev., Etienne, Guy, Renaud, Hugues [Dean of Metz, Abbot of Saint-Germer, Saint-Lucien, and Cluny], and Gautier, and three daughters, Marguerite (wife of Guy III de Senlis, seigneur of Chantilly, Boutillier of France), Mahaut (or Mathilde), and Comtesse (wife of Rogues de la Tournelle). In 1152 he confirmed the gifts of his parents, Hugues and Marguerite, and Hugh and Richard, Earls of Chester, to St.-Leu d'Esserent. RENAUD II, Count of Clermont-en-Beauvaisis, died sometime before 1162. His widow, Clemence, married (3rd) THIBAUT III DE NANTEUIL, seigneur of Nanteuil-le-Haudouin and Crépy, son and heir of Thibaut II, seigneur of Nanteuil-le-Haudouin and Crépy, by his 1st wife, Mathilde. They had three sons, Philippe [seigneur of Nanteuil-le-Haudouin], Guy [seigneur of Bouillancy], and Gautier (or Gaucher). THIBAUT III DE NANTEUIL died 20 Jan. 1183. His widow, Clemence, was living in 1185.

1. “Royal Ancestry: A Study in Colonial & Medieval Families,” Douglas Richardson (2013):
“HUGUES LE GRAND (also known as Hugues brother of the King), Count of Crépy, younger son, born about 1057. He married about 1080 ADELE DE VERMANDOIS, Countess of Vermandois, daughter of Heribert IV, Count of Vermandois, by Adele, daughter of Raoul III, Count of Valois. They had four sons, Raoul (I) [Count of Vermandois, Count of Peronne], Henri [seigneur of Chaumont-en-Vexin], Simon [Bishop of Noyon], and Guillaume, and five daughters, Mahaut, Beatrice (or Beatrix) (wife of Hugues, seigneur of Gournay-en-Brie), Isabel (or Elizabeth), Constance (wife of Geoffroi de la Ferté-Ancoul), and Agnes (wife of Bonifacio I, Marquis of Vasto). In 1079, as "count Hugh brother of the king" [comitis Hugonis fratris regis], he witnessed his brother King Philippe I's charter confirming the foundation of St.-Quintin Beauvais. In 1081, as "Hugone, Regis fratre, de Crispeio," he and his wife, Adèle, witnessed the foundation charter of Hugues, Count of Dammartin for the Priory of Saint-Leu of Esserent. He witnessed a charter of his brother, King Philippe I, in 1082 as "Hugues, Count of Crépy." HUGUES-LE-GRAND, Count of Crépy, was wounded at the Battle of Heraclea in Sept. 1101, and died at Tarsus in Cilicia 18 October 1101. He was buried in the Cathedral of St. Paul in Tarsus. His widow, Adèle, married (2nd) before 1104 (as his 1st wife) RENAUD II, seigneur of Clermont, afterwards Count of Clermont-en-Beauvaisis, Châtelain of Creil, and, in right of his 1st wife, Count of Vermandois [see CLERMONT 2], son and heir of Hugues de Clermont, seigneur of Clermont-en-Beauvaisis, Breuil-le-Vert, Creil, Luzarches, and Mouchy-Saint-Elou, by Marguerite, daughter of Hildouin (or Hellouin) II, Count of Montdidier [see CLERMONT 1 for his ancestry]. He was born about 1085. They had one daughter, Marguerite (wife of Charles le Bon, Count of Flanders, Hugues II Candavène, Count of Saint Pol, and Baudouin d'Encre). Adèle, Countess of Vermandois, died 28 September, between 1120 and 1124. Renaud married (2nd) CLEMENCE OF BAR, daughter of Renaud I, Count of Bar-le-Duc, by Gisèle, daughter of Gérard, Count of Vaudémont. They had seven sons, Raoul (I) le Roux [Count of Clermont, Constable of France], Simon, Chev., Etienne, Guy, Renaud, Hugues [Dean of Metz, Abbot of Saint-Germer, Saint-Lucien, and Cluny], and Gautier, and three daughters, Marguerite (wife of Guy III de Senlis, seigneur of Chantilly, Boutillier of France), Mahaut (or Mathilde), and Comtesse (wife of Rogues de la Tournelle). In 1152 he confirmed the gifts of his parents, Hugues and Marguerite, and Hugh and Richard, Earls of Chester, to St.-Leu d'Esserent. RENAUD II, Count of Clermont-en-Beauvaisis, died sometime before 1162. His widow, Clemence, married (3rd) THIBAUT III DE NANTEUIL, seigneur of Nanteuil-le-Haudouin and Crépy, son and heir of Thibaut II, seigneur of Nanteuil-le-Haudouin and Crépy, by his 1st wife, Mathilde. They had three sons, Philippe [seigneur of Nanteuil-le-Haudouin], Guy [seigneur of Bouillancy], and Gautier (or Gaucher). THIBAUT III DE NANTEUIL died 20 Jan. 1183. His widow, Clemence, was living in 1185.

“HUGUES LE GRAND (also known as Hugues brother of the King), Count of Crépy, younger son, born about 1057. He married about 1080 ADELE DE VERMANDOIS, Countess of Vermandois, daughter of Heribert IV, Count of Vermandois, by Adele, daughter of Raoul III, Count of Valois. They had four sons, Raoul (I) [Count of Vermandois, Count of Peronne], Henri [seigneur of Chaumont-en-Vexin], Simon [Bishop of Noyon], and Guillaume, and five daughters, Mahaut, Beatrice (or Beatrix) (wife of Hugues, seigneur of Gournay-en-Brie), Isabel (or Elizabeth), Constance (wife of Geoffroi de la Ferté-Ancoul), and Agnes (wife of Bonifacio I, Marquis of Vasto). In 1079, as "count Hugh brother of the king" [comitis Hugonis fratris regis], he witnessed his brother King Philippe I's charter confirming the foundation of St.-Quintin Beauvais. In 1081, as "Hugone, Regis fratre, de Crispeio," he and his wife, Adèle, witnessed the foundation charter of Hugues, Count of Dammartin for the Priory of Saint-Leu of Esserent. He witnessed a charter of his brother, King Philippe I, in 1082 as "Hugues, Count of Crépy." HUGUES-LE-GRAND, Count of Crépy, was wounded at the Battle of Heraclea in Sept. 1101, and died at Tarsus in Cilicia 18 October 1101. He was buried in the Cathedral of St. Paul in Tarsus. His widow, Adèle, married (2nd) before 1104 (as his 1st wife) RENAUD II, seigneur of Clermont, afterwards Count of Clermont-en-Beauvaisis, Châtelain of Creil, and, in right of his 1st wife, Count of Vermandois [see CLERMONT 2], son and heir of Hugues de Clermont, seigneur of Clermont-en-Beauvaisis, Breuil-le-Vert, Creil, Luzarches, and Mouchy-Saint-Elou, by Marguerite, daughter of Hildouin (or Hellouin) II, Count of Montdidier [see CLERMONT 1 for his ancestry]. He was born about 1085. They had one daughter, Marguerite (wife of Charles le Bon, Count of Flanders, Hugues II Candavène, Count of Saint Pol, and Baudouin d'Encre). Adèle, Countess of Vermandois, died 28 September, between 1120 and 1124. Renaud married (2nd) CLEMENCE OF BAR, daughter of Renaud I, Count of Bar-le-Duc, by Gisèle, daughter of Gérard, Count of Vaudémont. They had seven sons, Raoul (I) le Roux [Count of Clermont, Constable of France], Simon, Chev., Etienne, Guy, Renaud, Hugues [Dean of Metz, Abbot of Saint-Germer, Saint-Lucien, and Cluny], and Gautier, and three daughters, Marguerite (wife of Guy III de Senlis, seigneur of Chantilly, Boutillier of France), Mahaut (or Mathilde), and Comtesse (wife of Rogues de la Tournelle). In 1152 he confirmed the gifts of his parents, Hugues and Marguerite, and Hugh and Richard, Earls of Chester, to St.-Leu d'Esserent. RENAUD II, Count of Clermont-en-Beauvaisis, died sometime before 1162. His widow, Clemence, married (3rd) THIBAUT III DE NANTEUIL, seigneur of Nanteuil-le-Haudouin and Crépy, son and heir of Thibaut II, seigneur of Nanteuil-le-Haudouin and Crépy, by his 1st wife, Mathilde. They had three sons, Philippe [seigneur of Nanteuil-le-Haudouin], Guy [seigneur of Bouillancy], and Gautier (or Gaucher). THIBAUT III DE NANTEUIL died 20 Jan. 1183. His widow, Clemence, was living in 1185.

1. “Royal Ancestry: A Study in Colonial & Medieval Families,” Douglas Richardson (2013):
“HUGUES LE GRAND (also known as Hugues brother of the King), Count of Crépy, younger son, born about 1057. He married about 1080 ADELE DE VERMANDOIS, Countess of Vermandois, daughter of Heribert IV, Count of Vermandois, by Adele, daughter of Raoul III, Count of Valois. They had four sons, Raoul (I) [Count of Vermandois, Count of Peronne], Henri [seigneur of Chaumont-en-Vexin], Simon [Bishop of Noyon], and Guillaume, and five daughters, Mahaut, Beatrice (or Beatrix) (wife of Hugues, seigneur of Gournay-en-Brie), Isabel (or Elizabeth), Constance (wife of Geoffroi de la Ferté-Ancoul), and Agnes (wife of Bonifacio I, Marquis of Vasto). In 1079, as "count Hugh brother of the king" [comitis Hugonis fratris regis], he witnessed his brother King Philippe I's charter confirming the foundation of St.-Quintin Beauvais. In 1081, as "Hugone, Regis fratre, de Crispeio," he and his wife, Adèle, witnessed the foundation charter of Hugues, Count of Dammartin for the Priory of Saint-Leu of Esserent. He witnessed a charter of his brother, King Philippe I, in 1082 as "Hugues, Count of Crépy." HUGUES-LE-GRAND, Count of Crépy, was wounded at the Battle of Heraclea in Sept. 1101, and died at Tarsus in Cilicia 18 October 1101. He was buried in the Cathedral of St. Paul in Tarsus. His widow, Adèle, married (2nd) before 1104 (as his 1st wife) RENAUD II, seigneur of Clermont, afterwards Count of Clermont-en-Beauvaisis, Châtelain of Creil, and, in right of his 1st wife, Count of Vermandois [see CLERMONT 2], son and heir of Hugues de Clermont, seigneur of Clermont-en-Beauvaisis, Breuil-le-Vert, Creil, Luzarches, and Mouchy-Saint-Elou, by Marguerite, daughter of Hildouin (or Hellouin) II, Count of Montdidier [see CLERMONT 1 for his ancestry]. He was born about 1085. They had one daughter, Marguerite (wife of Charles le Bon, Count of Flanders, Hugues II Candavène, Count of Saint Pol, and Baudouin d'Encre). Adèle, Countess of Vermandois, died 28 September, between 1120 and 1124. Renaud married (2nd) CLEMENCE OF BAR, daughter of Renaud I, Count of Bar-le-Duc, by Gisèle, daughter of Gérard, Count of Vaudémont. They had seven sons, Raoul (I) le Roux [Count of Clermont, Constable of France], Simon, Chev., Etienne, Guy, Renaud, Hugues [Dean of Metz, Abbot of Saint-Germer, Saint-Lucien, and Cluny], and Gautier, and three daughters, Marguerite (wife of Guy III de Senlis, seigneur of Chantilly, Boutillier of France), Mahaut (or Mathilde), and Comtesse (wife of Rogues de la Tournelle). In 1152 he confirmed the gifts of his parents, Hugues and Marguerite, and Hugh and Richard, Earls of Chester, to St.-Leu d'Esserent. RENAUD II, Count of Clermont-en-Beauvaisis, died sometime before 1162. His widow, Clemence, married (3rd) THIBAUT III DE NANTEUIL, seigneur of Nanteuil-le-Haudouin and Crépy, son and heir of Thibaut II, seigneur of Nanteuil-le-Haudouin and Crépy, by his 1st wife, Mathilde. They had three sons, Philippe [seigneur of Nanteuil-le-Haudouin], Guy [seigneur of Bouillancy], and Gautier (or Gaucher). THIBAUT III DE NANTEUIL died 20 Jan. 1183. His widow, Clemence, was living in 1185.

“HUGUES LE GRAND (also known as Hugues brother of the King), Count of Crépy, younger son, born about 1057. He married about 1080 ADELE DE VERMANDOIS, Countess of Vermandois, daughter of Heribert IV, Count of Vermandois, by Adele, daughter of Raoul III, Count of Valois. They had four sons, Raoul (I) [Count of Vermandois, Count of Peronne], Henri [seigneur of Chaumont-en-Vexin], Simon [Bishop of Noyon], and Guillaume, and five daughters, Mahaut, Beatrice (or Beatrix) (wife of Hugues, seigneur of Gournay-en-Brie), Isabel (or Elizabeth), Constance (wife of Geoffroi de la Ferté-Ancoul), and Agnes (wife of Bonifacio I, Marquis of Vasto). In 1079, as "count Hugh brother of the king" [comitis Hugonis fratris regis], he witnessed his brother King Philippe I's charter confirming the foundation of St.-Quintin Beauvais. In 1081, as "Hugone, Regis fratre, de Crispeio," he and his wife, Adèle, witnessed the foundation charter of Hugues, Count of Dammartin for the Priory of Saint-Leu of Esserent. He witnessed a charter of his brother, King Philippe I, in 1082 as "Hugues, Count of Crépy." HUGUES-LE-GRAND, Count of Crépy, was wounded at the Battle of Heraclea in Sept. 1101, and died at Tarsus in Cilicia 18 October 1101. He was buried in the Cathedral of St. Paul in Tarsus. His widow, Adèle, married (2nd) before 1104 (as his 1st wife) RENAUD II, seigneur of Clermont, afterwards Count of Clermont-en-Beauvaisis, Châtelain of Creil, and, in right of his 1st wife, Count of Vermandois [see CLERMONT 2], son and heir of Hugues de Clermont, seigneur of Clermont-en-Beauvaisis, Breuil-le-Vert, Creil, Luzarches, and Mouchy-Saint-Elou, by Marguerite, daughter of Hildouin (or Hellouin) II, Count of Montdidier [see CLERMONT 1 for his ancestry]. He was born about 1085. They had one daughter, Marguerite (wife of Charles le Bon, Count of Flanders, Hugues II Candavène, Count of Saint Pol, and Baudouin d'Encre). Adèle, Countess of Vermandois, died 28 September, between 1120 and 1124. Renaud married (2nd) CLEMENCE OF BAR, daughter of Renaud I, Count of Bar-le-Duc, by Gisèle, daughter of Gérard, Count of Vaudémont. They had seven sons, Raoul (I) le Roux [Count of Clermont, Constable of France], Simon, Chev., Etienne, Guy, Renaud, Hugues [Dean of Metz, Abbot of Saint-Germer, Saint-Lucien, and Cluny], and Gautier, and three daughters, Marguerite (wife of Guy III de Senlis, seigneur of Chantilly, Boutillier of France), Mahaut (or Mathilde), and Comtesse (wife of Rogues de la Tournelle). In 1152 he confirmed the gifts of his parents, Hugues and Marguerite, and Hugh and Richard, Earls of Chester, to St.-Leu d'Esserent. RENAUD II, Count of Clermont-en-Beauvaisis, died sometime before 1162. His widow, Clemence, married (3rd) THIBAUT III DE NANTEUIL, seigneur of Nanteuil-le-Haudouin and Crépy, son and heir of Thibaut II, seigneur of Nanteuil-le-Haudouin and Crépy, by his 1st wife, Mathilde. They had three sons, Philippe [seigneur of Nanteuil-le-Haudouin], Guy [seigneur of Bouillancy], and Gautier (or Gaucher). THIBAUT III DE NANTEUIL died 20 Jan. 1183. His widow, Clemence, was living in 1185.

“IDA DE TONY. Prior to marriage, Ida was a mistress of King Henry II of England [see ENGLAND 4], by whom she was the mother of William Longespée, Knt., Earl of Salisbury [see LONGESPEE 5]. She married about Christmas 1181 ROGER LE BIGOD, Knt., 4th Earl of Norfolk, hereditary Steward of the Household, Privy Councillor, Keeper of Hertford Castle, 1191, Judge in the King's Court, 1195, 1196, 1199, 1202, Chief Judge in the King's Court, 1197, Warden of Romford Forest, 1200, son and heir of Hugh le Bigod, 3rd Earl of Norfolk, by his 1st wife, Juliane, daughter of Aubrey de Vere, of Great Addington and Drayton, Northamptonshire and Hedingham, Essex. He was born before 1140. They had five sons, Hugh [5th Earl of Norfolk], William, Roger, John, and Ralph, and three daughters, Mary, Margaret, and Ida. He bore the standard of St. Edmund at the Battle of Fornham in 1173. On the death of Roger's father in 1176, he and his stepmother, Gundred, appealed to the king on a dispute touching the inheritance, the countess pressing the claims of her own son. King Henry II subsequently seized the Bigod lands into his own hands. During the remainder of the reign, it seems Roger had little power, even if his succession was allowed. In the period, 1177-89, he confirmed the gift of Walter son of William de Shaldingfield his knight made to Sibton Abbey, Suffolk of 41 acres of land in Bruisyard, Suffolk. In the same period, he granted Reiner Fitz Berengar and Richard his son land in Friday Street, London. On King Richard I's accession in 1189, Roger was confirmed in the earldom of Norfolk and in the stewardship of the royal household. He was also appointed an ambassador to King Philippe of France to arrange for Richard's coming crusade. In the period, 1189-93, Roger granted 3 marks of annual rent in Walton, Norfolk to Reading Abbey for the health of his soul and that of his wife, Ida. In the same period, he granted the land of Geoffrey Fitz Geoffrey to West Dereham Abbey. In the period, 1189-1202, he granted William Fitz Richard a certain member of the manor of Notley, Essex. In the period, 1189-1202, he confirmed to the nuns of St. Mary, Wix the alms that Roger de Glanville gave them in Middleton, Suffolk. In the period, 1189-1202, he granted Richard de Seething 20 acres of land in Seething, Norfolk. In the period, 1189-1202, he granted Roger de Reimes the manor of Colne, Essex. In the period, 1189-1202, he granted to the men of Acle, Norfolk that they shall have hereditarily their turbaries. In the period, 1189-1204, Reynold de Thorp granted him and his heirs six acres of land Hervey the baker held of his fee in Heveningham, Suffolk; in the same period Earl Roger granted the same property to Hervey the baker and his heirs for the free annual service of 12d. payable to the grantor and his heirs and liable in Id. in the pound towards scutage. In the period, 1189-1217, he granted Sibton Abbey 21 acres of land in Wrabton (in Yoxford) and Kelsale, Suffolk, in exchange for the same amount of the monks' demesne which Roger enclosed within his park at Kelsale, Suffolk. In the period, 1189-1221, he grant to Barlings Abbey all his right in Holy Trinity, Bungay. In the period, 1189-1221, he granted to Anketil son of Anketil de Bungay land in Halvergate, Norfolk. In the period, 1189-1221, he granted Dodnash Priory his mill of Flatford in East Bergholt, Norfolk. In the same period, he granted to Dodnash Priory the homage and service of Adam Burris. In 1191 he was put in charge of Hereford Castle. In 1193 he was summoned with certain other barons and prelates to attend the chancellor into Germany, where negotiations were being carried on to effect King Richard's release from captivity. The same year he confirmed the covenant between Wymonclham Abbey and Ralph de Melves, his knight. In the period, 1193-8, he granted Reading Abbey three marks of rent from the church of Finchingfield. In 1194 he was present at the great council held at Nottingham. At the re-coronation of King Richard I 17 April 1194, he assisted in bearing the canopy. He served as a justiciar, fines being levied before him in the fifth year of Richard's reign and from the seventh onwards. He continued to act as a judge in King John's reign. In 1198 he confirmed earlier gifts to Felixstone Priory. In the period, 1199-1202, he granted Colne Priory the church of Dovercourt and the chapel of Harwich. In the period, 1199-1221, he granted Hinlding Priory the chapel of All Saints, Hacheston, Suffolk. In the same period, he granted Carrow Nunnery two sheaves of the tithe of Halvergate, Norfolk. In the period, 1199-1221, he quitclaimed to Ely Cathedral all actions and plaints in the hundreds of Carlford, Wilford, and Loes, Suffolk. In the period, 1199-1221, he granted Leiston Abbey the church of St. Mary, Middleton. In 1200 he was sent with other nobles to escort his wife's kinsman, William the Lion, King of Scots to do homage to King John at Lincoln. The same year William Fitz Alan agreed to hold for the life of the earl half a fee in Theberton, Suffolk. In 1209 his half-brother, Hugh le Bigod, quitclaimed to him all his right to the lands of Acle, Earsham, Halvergate, Little Framingham, and South Walsham, Norfolk, and Settrington, Yorkshire, in exchange for £30 worth of lands. He was imprisoned for unknown causes in 1213. He accompanied the king to Poitou in 1214. The following year he joined the confederacy of the barons against 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. His lands were forfeited and cruelly ravaged by the king. After the accession of King Henry III, he returned to his allegiance, and had order for the restoration of his lands in September 1217. SIR ROGER LE BIGOD, 4th Earl of Norfolk, died in 1221, before 2 August.

“IDA DE TONY. Prior to marriage, Ida was a mistress of King Henry II of England [see ENGLAND 4], by whom she was the mother of William Longespée, Knt., Earl of Salisbury [see LONGESPEE 5]. She married about Christmas 1181 ROGER LE BIGOD, Knt., 4th Earl of Norfolk, hereditary Steward of the Household, Privy Councillor, Keeper of Hertford Castle, 1191, Judge in the King's Court, 1195, 1196, 1199, 1202, Chief Judge in the King's Court, 1197, Warden of Romford Forest, 1200, son and heir of Hugh le Bigod, 3rd Earl of Norfolk, by his 1st wife, Juliane, daughter of Aubrey de Vere, of Great Addington and Drayton, Northamptonshire and Hedingham, Essex. He was born before 1140. They had five sons, Hugh [5th Earl of Norfolk], William, Roger, John, and Ralph, and three daughters, Mary, Margaret, and Ida. He bore the standard of St. Edmund at the Battle of Fornham in 1173. On the death of Roger's father in 1176, he and his stepmother, Gundred, appealed to the king on a dispute touching the inheritance, the countess pressing the claims of her own son. King Henry II subsequently seized the Bigod lands into his own hands. During the remainder of the reign, it seems Roger had little power, even if his succession was allowed. In the period, 1177-89, he confirmed the gift of Walter son of William de Shaldingfield his knight made to Sibton Abbey, Suffolk of 41 acres of land in Bruisyard, Suffolk. In the same period, he granted Reiner Fitz Berengar and Richard his son land in Friday Street, London. On King Richard I's accession in 1189, Roger was confirmed in the earldom of Norfolk and in the stewardship of the royal household. He was also appointed an ambassador to King Philippe of France to arrange for Richard's coming crusade. In the period, 1189-93, Roger granted 3 marks of annual rent in Walton, Norfolk to Reading Abbey for the health of his soul and that of his wife, Ida. In the same period, he granted the land of Geoffrey Fitz Geoffrey to West Dereham Abbey. In the period, 1189-1202, he granted William Fitz Richard a certain member of the manor of Notley, Essex. In the period, 1189-1202, he confirmed to the nuns of St. Mary, Wix the alms that Roger de Glanville gave them in Middleton, Suffolk. In the period, 1189-1202, he granted Richard de Seething 20 acres of land in Seething, Norfolk. In the period, 1189-1202, he granted Roger de Reimes the manor of Colne, Essex. In the period, 1189-1202, he granted to the men of Acle, Norfolk that they shall have hereditarily their turbaries. In the period, 1189-1204, Reynold de Thorp granted him and his heirs six acres of land Hervey the baker held of his fee in Heveningham, Suffolk; in the same period Earl Roger granted the same property to Hervey the baker and his heirs for the free annual service of 12d. payable to the grantor and his heirs and liable in Id. in the pound towards scutage. In the period, 1189-1217, he granted Sibton Abbey 21 acres of land in Wrabton (in Yoxford) and Kelsale, Suffolk, in exchange for the same amount of the monks' demesne which Roger enclosed within his park at Kelsale, Suffolk. In the period, 1189-1221, he grant to Barlings Abbey all his right in Holy Trinity, Bungay. In the period, 1189-1221, he granted to Anketil son of Anketil de Bungay land in Halvergate, Norfolk. In the period, 1189-1221, he granted Dodnash Priory his mill of Flatford in East Bergholt, Norfolk. In the same period, he granted to Dodnash Priory the homage and service of Adam Burris. In 1191 he was put in charge of Hereford Castle. In 1193 he was summoned with certain other barons and prelates to attend the chancellor into Germany, where negotiations were being carried on to effect King Richard's release from captivity. The same year he confirmed the covenant between Wymonclham Abbey and Ralph de Melves, his knight. In the period, 1193-8, he granted Reading Abbey three marks of rent from the church of Finchingfield. In 1194 he was present at the great council held at Nottingham. At the re-coronation of King Richard I 17 April 1194, he assisted in bearing the canopy. He served as a justiciar, fines being levied before him in the fifth year of Richard's reign and from the seventh onwards. He continued to act as a judge in King John's reign. In 1198 he confirmed earlier gifts to Felixstone Priory. In the period, 1199-1202, he granted Colne Priory the church of Dovercourt and the chapel of Harwich. In the period, 1199-1221, he granted Hinlding Priory the chapel of All Saints, Hacheston, Suffolk. In the same period, he granted Carrow Nunnery two sheaves of the tithe of Halvergate, Norfolk. In the period, 1199-1221, he quitclaimed to Ely Cathedral all actions and plaints in the hundreds of Carlford, Wilford, and Loes, Suffolk. In the period, 1199-1221, he granted Leiston Abbey the church of St. Mary, Middleton. In 1200 he was sent with other nobles to escort his wife's kinsman, William the Lion, King of Scots to do homage to King John at Lincoln. The same year William Fitz Alan agreed to hold for the life of the earl half a fee in Theberton, Suffolk. In 1209 his half-brother, Hugh le Bigod, quitclaimed to him all his right to the lands of Acle, Earsham, Halvergate, Little Framingham, and South Walsham, Norfolk, and Settrington, Yorkshire, in exchange for £30 worth of lands. He was imprisoned for unknown causes in 1213. He accompanied the king to Poitou in 1214. The following year he joined the confederacy of the barons against 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. His lands were forfeited and cruelly ravaged by the king. After the accession of King Henry III, he returned to his allegiance, and had order for the restoration of his lands in September 1217. SIR ROGER LE BIGOD, 4th Earl of Norfolk, died in 1221, before 2 August.

“IDA DE TONY. Prior to marriage, Ida was a mistress of King Henry II of England [see ENGLAND 4], by whom she was the mother of William Longespée, Knt., Earl of Salisbury [see LONGESPEE 5]. She married about Christmas 1181 ROGER LE BIGOD, Knt., 4th Earl of Norfolk, hereditary Steward of the Household, Privy Councillor, Keeper of Hertford Castle, 1191, Judge in the King's Court, 1195, 1196, 1199, 1202, Chief Judge in the King's Court, 1197, Warden of Romford Forest, 1200, son and heir of Hugh le Bigod, 3rd Earl of Norfolk, by his 1st wife, Juliane, daughter of Aubrey de Vere, of Great Addington and Drayton, Northamptonshire and Hedingham, Essex. He was born before 1140. They had five sons, Hugh [5th Earl of Norfolk], William, Roger, John, and Ralph, and three daughters, Mary, Margaret, and Ida. He bore the standard of St. Edmund at the Battle of Fornham in 1173. On the death of Roger's father in 1176, he and his stepmother, Gundred, appealed to the king on a dispute touching the inheritance, the countess pressing the claims of her own son. King Henry II subsequently seized the Bigod lands into his own hands. During the remainder of the reign, it seems Roger had little power, even if his succession was allowed. In the period, 1177-89, he confirmed the gift of Walter son of William de Shaldingfield his knight made to Sibton Abbey, Suffolk of 41 acres of land in Bruisyard, Suffolk. In the same period, he granted Reiner Fitz Berengar and Richard his son land in Friday Street, London. On King Richard I's accession in 1189, Roger was confirmed in the earldom of Norfolk and in the stewardship of the royal household.

“GUNDRED DE WARENNE, married (1st) before 1130 ROGER, 2nd Earl of Warwick, son and heir of Henry de Beaumont, 1st Earl of Warwick, by Margaret, daughter of Geoffrey, Count of Perche. He was probably a minor in 1119. They had three sons, William [3rd Earl of Warwick] Waleran [4th Earl of Warwick], and Henry, and three daughters, Gundred (wife of Hugh le Bigod, Earl of Norfolk and Roger de Glanville), Margaret, and Agnes (wife of Geoffrey de Clinton the younger). He joined his parents, Henry and Margaret, in an undated grant of property to Warwick St. Mary. He succeeded to the earldom in 1123, before Easter, presumably when he came of age. He completed the foundation of the collegiate church of St. Mary and All Saints, Warwick c.1123. He attested charters of King Henry I, the two latest in 1131. After the accession of King Stephen, he was at the Easter court in 1136 at Westminster. He witnessed the king's charter of liberties at Oxford in April 1136. Following the Battle of Lincoln in 1141, he joined the Empress Maud of his own free will. He served with her at the Siege of Winchester in 1141, but early in 1142 he was with King Stephen at Stamford. At an unknown date he allowed Warwick Castle to be garrisoned by Stephen's troops. In 1153 he was with the king when he heard that the garrison had been tricked by Henry's knights and the Castle surrendered. He founded the Templars' House and St. Michael's Hospital, both in Warwick, and completed the foundation of Warwick Priory. ROGER, 2nd Earl of Warwick, died in 1153. In the Pipe Roll of 5 Henry II [1158-9], his widow, Gundred, had remission granted of the scutage upon 20 knights' fees which she no doubt held in dower. She married (2nd) (as his 2nd wife) WILLIAM DE LANCASTER (also known as WILLIAM FITZ GILBERT), of Kendal, Westmorland, Lamplugh, Muncaster, and Workington, Cumberland, Garstang, Ulverston, Warton, and Wyresdale, Lancashire, etc., son and heir of Gilbert, by his wife, Godith. In the period, 1150-5, Roger de Mowbray granted him all his land of Lonsdale, Kendal, and Horton in Ribblesdale. In the period, 1153-60, he was granted lands in Gastang, Ulverston, and Warton, Lancashire by William, Count of Boulogne and Mortain. In the period, 1153-6, he and his wife, Gundred, and his son and heir, William, granted the canons of St. Mary de Pré, Leicester the manor and church of Cockerham, Lancashire. In the period, 1156-60, he added common of pasture throughout his fee in Lonsdale and Amoundemess. His wife, Gundred, Countess of Warwick, was living in 1166. WILLIAM DE LANCASTER died before Michaelmas 1170, when Richard de Morville proferred 200 marks for a writ to sue for lands which he claimed in marriage with Avice his wife, daughter of the said William.

“IDA DE TONY. Prior to marriage, Ida was a mistress of King Henry II of England [see ENGLAND 4], by whom she was the mother of William Longespée, Knt., Earl of Salisbury [see LONGESPEE 5]. She married about Christmas 1181 ROGER LE BIGOD, Knt., 4th Earl of Norfolk, hereditary Steward of the Household, Privy Councillor, Keeper of Hertford Castle, 1191, Judge in the King's Court, 1195, 1196, 1199, 1202, Chief Judge in the King's Court, 1197, Warden of Romford Forest, 1200, son and heir of Hugh le Bigod, 3rd Earl of Norfolk, by his 1st wife, Juliane, daughter of Aubrey de Vere, of Great Addington and Drayton, Northamptonshire and Hedingham, Essex. He was born before 1140. They had five sons, Hugh [5th Earl of Norfolk], William, Roger, John, and Ralph, and three daughters, Mary, Margaret, and Ida. He bore the standard of St. Edmund at the Battle of Fornham in 1173. On the death of Roger's father in 1176, he and his stepmother, Gundred, appealed to the king on a dispute touching the inheritance, the countess pressing the claims of her own son. King Henry II subsequently seized the Bigod lands into his own hands. During the remainder of the reign, it seems Roger had little power, even if his succession was allowed. In the period, 1177-89, he confirmed the gift of Walter son of William de Shaldingfield his knight made to Sibton Abbey, Suffolk of 41 acres of land in Bruisyard, Suffolk.

“IDA DE TONY. Prior to marriage, Ida was a mistress of King Henry II of England [see ENGLAND 4], by whom she was the mother of William Longespée, Knt., Earl of Salisbury [see LONGESPEE 5]. She married about Christmas 1181 ROGER LE BIGOD, Knt., 4th Earl of Norfolk, hereditary Steward of the Household, Privy Councillor, Keeper of Hertford Castle, 1191, Judge in the King's Court, 1195, 1196, 1199, 1202, Chief Judge in the King's Court, 1197, Warden of Romford Forest, 1200, son and heir of Hugh le Bigod, 3rd Earl of Norfolk, by his 1st wife, Juliane, daughter of Aubrey de Vere, of Great Addington and Drayton, Northamptonshire and Hedingham, Essex. He was born before 1140. They had five sons, Hugh [5th Earl of Norfolk], William, Roger, John, and Ralph, and three daughters, Mary, Margaret, and Ida. He bore the standard of St. Edmund at the Battle of Fornham in 1173. On the death of Roger's father in 1176, he and his stepmother, Gundred, appealed to the king on a dispute touching the inheritance, the countess pressing the claims of her own son. King Henry II subsequently seized the Bigod lands into his own hands. During the remainder of the reign, it seems Roger had little power, even if his succession was allowed. In the period, 1177-89, he confirmed the gift of Walter son of William de Shaldingfield his knight made to Sibton Abbey, Suffolk of 41 acres of land in Bruisyard, Suffolk. In the same period, he granted Reiner Fitz Berengar and Richard his son land in Friday Street, London. On King Richard I's accession in 1189, Roger was confirmed in the earldom of Norfolk and in the stewardship of the royal household. He was also appointed an ambassador to King Philippe of France to arrange for Richard's coming crusade. In the period, 1189-93, Roger granted 3 marks of annual rent in Walton, Norfolk to Reading Abbey for the health of his soul and that of his wife, Ida. In the same period, he granted the land of Geoffrey Fitz Geoffrey to West Dereham Abbey. In the period, 1189-1202, he granted William Fitz Richard a certain member of the manor of Notley, Essex. In the period, 1189-1202, he confirmed to the nuns of St. Mary, Wix the alms that Roger de Glanville gave them in Middleton, Suffolk. In the period, 1189-1202, he granted Richard de Seething 20 acres of land in Seething, Norfolk. In the period, 1189-1202, he granted Roger de Reimes the manor of Colne, Essex. In the period, 1189-1202, he granted to the men of Acle, Norfolk that they shall have hereditarily their turbaries. In the period, 1189-1204, Reynold de Thorp granted him and his heirs six acres of land Hervey the baker held of his fee in Heveningham, Suffolk; in the same period Earl Roger granted the same property to Hervey the baker and his heirs for the free annual service of 12d. payable to the grantor and his heirs and liable in Id. in the pound towards scutage. In the period, 1189-1217, he granted Sibton Abbey 21 acres of land in Wrabton (in Yoxford) and Kelsale, Suffolk, in exchange for the same amount of the monks' demesne which Roger enclosed within his park at Kelsale, Suffolk. In the period, 1189-1221, he grant to Barlings Abbey all his right in Holy Trinity, Bungay. In the period, 1189-1221, he granted to Anketil son of Anketil de Bungay land in Halvergate, Norfolk. In the period, 1189-1221, he granted Dodnash Priory his mill of Flatford in East Bergholt, Norfolk. In the same period, he granted to Dodnash Priory the homage and service of Adam Burris. In 1191 he was put in charge of Hereford Castle. In 1193 he was summoned with certain other barons and prelates to attend the chancellor into Germany, where negotiations were being carried on to effect King Richard's release from captivity. The same year he confirmed the covenant between Wymonclham Abbey and Ralph de Melves, his knight. In the period, 1193-8, he granted Reading Abbey three marks of rent from the church of Finchingfield. In 1194 he was present at the great council held at Nottingham. At the re-coronation of King Richard I 17 April 1194, he assisted in bearing the canopy. He served as a justiciar, fines being levied before him in the fifth year of Richard's reign and from the seventh onwards. He continued to act as a judge in King John's reign. In 1198 he confirmed earlier gifts to Felixstone Priory. In the period, 1199-1202, he granted Colne Priory the church of Dovercourt and the chapel of Harwich. In the period, 1199-1221, he granted Hinlding Priory the chapel of All Saints, Hacheston, Suffolk. In the same period, he granted Carrow Nunnery two sheaves of the tithe of Halvergate, Norfolk. In the period, 1199-1221, he quitclaimed to Ely Cathedral all actions and plaints in the hundreds of Carlford, Wilford, and Loes, Suffolk. In the period, 1199-1221, he granted Leiston Abbey the church of St. Mary, Middleton. In 1200 he was sent with other nobles to escort his wife's kinsman, William the Lion, King of Scots to do homage to King John at Lincoln. The same year William Fitz Alan agreed to hold for the life of the earl half a fee in Theberton, Suffolk. In 1209 his half-brother, Hugh le Bigod, quitclaimed to him all his right to the lands of Acle, Earsham, Halvergate, Little Framingham, and South Walsham, Norfolk, and Settrington, Yorkshire, in exchange for £30 worth of lands. He was imprisoned for unknown causes in 1213. He accompanied the king to Poitou in 1214. The following year he joined the confederacy of the barons against 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. His lands were forfeited and cruelly ravaged by the king. After the accession of King Henry III, he returned to his allegiance, and had order for the restoration of his lands in September 1217. SIR ROGER LE BIGOD, 4th Earl of Norfolk, died in 1221, before 2 August.
