He was heir in 1209 to his uncle, Robert de Courtenay. He married in 1210-11 (grant of her marriage) MARY DE VERNON, widow of Peter de Preaux, Knt.,* of Alton, Hampshire, Sudbury (in West Ham), Essex, etc., lord of the Channel Islands, Constable of Rouen (living 1209), and daughter of William de Vernon, Knt., 5th Earl of Devon, by Mabel, daughter of Robert II, Count of Meulan [see VERMANDOIS 8 for her ancestry]. Her maritagium included lands in Crewkerne, Somerset, with the foreign hundred and the chace there. They had three sons, John, Knt., William, Knt., and Robert [Dean of Auckland], and two daughters, Egeline and Hawise. In 1209 he paid a fine to the king of 400 marks and two great horses to have seisin of the manor of Sutton, Berkshire. In 1211 he owed 1,200 marks to have the honour of Oakhampton, Devon, which had been in the king's hands. In 1217 he was ordered by the king to release Exeter Castle and the stannaries and coinage of Devon to the queen mother. In 1214 he sued Roger Chike and two others regarding lands in Sutton, Berkshire. In April 1218 he offered 5 marks to have a jury concerning the hundred of Redlane which he said was his and pertains to his manor of Iweme, which hundred, and the hundred of Gillingham, were withdrawn from him and his ancestors. In July 1218 the king committed custody of the manor of Sutton, Berkshire to John of Wiggonholt for as long as it pleases the king, so that he answer for the issues of the same manor to Stephen de Croy, merchant of Amiens, for the debt which Robert de Courtenay owed him. In 1219 the king ordered the Sheriff of Devon that he cause Robert de Courtenay to have full seisin of all lands and appurtenances in Devonshire formerly of Hawise de Courtenay, his mother, which fell to the said Robert by inheritance. In 1220 he was granted a two day fair at his manor of Okehampton, Devon. In 1220 John de Saint Helen sued him regarding half a hide of land in Sutton, Berkshire. The same year Maud de Courtenay (his aunt and step-grandmother) sued him regarding the manors of Oakhampton, Chulmleigh, Kenn, and Musbury, and Sampford, Devon and Hemington, Somerset, which she claimed as her right. In 1224 he made fine with the king to render £30 to him annually at the Exchequer of the £190 8s. 7d. due from him to the king; he was allowed such costs he incurred, by order of the king and the same justiciar, to fill a breach in the wall of Exeter castle. In 1227 the king committed the manor of Sedborough (in Parkham), Devon with its appurtenances to his wife, Mary. In 1230 he was overseas in the service of the king. In the period, 1230-2, he settled a long standing dispute with Abingdon Abbey regarding digging turves from the manor of Culham for the repair of Sutton mill, Berkshire. SIR ROBERT DE COURTENAY died at Iweme, Dorset about 27 July 1242, and was buried at Ford Abbey, Dorset. His widow, Mary, was living 15 July 1250.

They had no issue. He accompanied King Richard I on crusade in 1190. He distinguished himself at the Siege of Acre in 1192. In the period, 1194-9, he served King Richard I throughout his wars against Philip II of France. In 1203 he was in charge of the escheats of Normandy and the Jews, except for the Jews of Rouen and Caen. The same year he was granted all the land which Peter de Meulan (his Wife's uncle) held at Sens, Normandy. In 1204, in agreement with the leading men of the city, he surrendered Rouen to King Philippe Auguste of France. He was living in 1209.] Brooke Discoverie of Certaine Errours (1724): 75-76.

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

| 6252 | RESEARCH_NOTES: 1. “Royal Ancestry: A Study in Colonial & Medieval Families,” Douglas Richardson (2013): “JOHN DE GREY, Knt., 2nd Lord Grey of Rotherfield, of Rotherfield, Cogges, and Somerton, Oxfordshire, Shabbington and East Claydon, Buckinghamshire, Duston, Northamptonshire, Olton (in Solihull), Warwickshire, Killerby, Yorkshire, etc., son and heir by his father's 1st marriage, born about 1319-29 (aged 30 or 40 in 1359). He married MAUD ___.* They had six sons, John [1st of name], Brian [Brother of the Order of St John of Jerusalem, Preceptor of Beverley, Turcopolier], John [2nd of name], Bartholomew [3rd Lord Grey of Rotherfield], Robert, Knt. [4th Lord Grey of Rotherfield], and Richard, Knt., and two daughters, Juliane and Maud. He had letters of protection going beyond seas with his cousin, William de Clinton, Earl of Huntingdon, in 1344. He was in the Crecy campaign in 1346 in the first division with Edward, Prince of Wales. In 1360 he owed a debt of 1,000 marks to the Prior of the Hospital of Saint John of Jerusalem in England. He was summoned to Parliament from 20 Nov. 1360 to 4 October 1373, by writs directed Johanni de Grg or Johanni de Grg de RothTeeld. In 1361 he had license to grant the advowson of the church of Oxborough, Norfolk to the Prior and brethren of St. John of Jerusalem in England; he also had license to settle the manor of Duston, Northamptonshire on himself for life, with successive remainders to his elder son, John, his next son, John, and another son, Bartholomew, and their respective heirs male. In 1362 he had license to grant the advowson of half the church of Darfield, Yorkshire to the Prior of the Hospital of Saint John of Jerusalem. He presented to a mediety of the churchof Ketdewell, Yorkshire, 1362, and to the church of Arley, Warwickshire, 1365, 1371. In 1366 Bartholomew de Burghersh, KG., 4th Lord Burghersh, petitioned the Pope on behalf of him and his wife for an indult for plenary remission. In 1368, as Sir John Grey, he presented to the church of Syderstone, Norfolk, it being his turn to present. In 1372 he had license to grant a messuage and land in East Claydon, Buckinghamshire to the Prior and convent of Bisham. SIR JOHN DE GREY, 2nd Lord Grey of Rotherfield, died 4 June 1375. He left a will dated 1375, proved 16 June 1375 (Linc. Epis. Reg., 116 Bokingham), requesting burial in the monastery of St. James near Northampton. In 1384 his widow, Maud, was pardoned for failing to appear when sued by Robert Ashcombe for a debt of £40. In 1386, her sons, Robert Grey, Lord Grey of Rotherfield, and Richard Grey, and Ralph Hastings entered a recognizance of £1000 for themselves, their men and servants not to hurt or harm Robert Ashcombe. Maud, Lady Grey of Rotherfield, died 23 Jan. 1386/7. (* Footnote: C.P. 6 (1926): 147 & footnote k (sub Grey) states that Maud, wife of Sir John de Grey above, was "possibly" the daughter of Bartholomew de Burghersh, Knt., 3rd Lord Burghersh [see BURGHERSH 12]. While it is true that the younger Bartholomew de Burghersh, K.G., 4th Lord Burghersh petitioned the Pope on behalf of John and Maud in 1366 [see Papal Regs.: Petitions 1 (1896): 5311, there is nothing in that record which suggests that Maud de Grey was the sister of Bartholomew de Burghersh, 4th Lord Burghersh. Even so, Maud de Grey may well have been a member of the Burghersh family. New research indicates that the arms of Grey of Rotherfield (i.e., Barry of six Argent and Azure a bendlet Gules) are impaled with those of Burghersh on a shield found in the church of Ewelme, Oxfordshire at the tomb of Alice Chaucer, Duchess of Suffolk (died 1475) (see Harvey et al. Vis. of Oxford 1566, 1574, 1634 & 1574 (H.S.P. 5) (1871): 38-40; Lyle Original Identity of the York & Towneley Cycles (1919): 116-118; Krauss et al. Three Chaucer Studies (1932): 47; Oxoniensa 5 (1940): 78-93). This impalement suggests that there was a marriage sometime before 1475 between a male member of the Grey family of Rotherfield and a Burghersh female, but whether it commemorates the marriage of John and Maud de Grey is unknown. Duchess Alice Chaucer was blood related to the Burghersh family through her mother, Maud, who was the daughter and co-heiress of John Burghersh, Knt. (died 1391), of Ewelme, Oxfordshire. Another shield at the tomb of Duchess Alice displays the arms of Mohun impaling Burghersh, which surely commemorates the marriage of Duchess Alice's cousin, Joan, de Burghersh, and her husband, John de Mohun, KG., 2nd Lord Mohun. Joan de Burghersh is a known daughter of Bartholomew de Burghersh, Knt., 3rd Lord Burghersh [see MOHUN 13]. This matter needs further study.) Dugdale Antiqs. of Warwickshire 1 (1730): 104.

| 6253 | RESEARCH_NOTES: 1. “Royal Ancestry: A Study in Colonial & Medieval Families,” Douglas Richardson (2013): “JOHN DE GREY, Knt., 2nd Lord Grey of Rotherfield, of Rotherfield, Cogges, and Somerton, Oxfordshire, Shabbington and East Claydon, Buckinghamshire, Duston, Northamptonshire, Olton (in Solihull), Warwickshire, Killerby, Yorkshire, etc., son and heir by his father's 1st marriage, born about 1319-29 (aged 30 or 40 in 1359). He married MAUD ___.* They had six sons, John [1st of name], Brian [Brother of the Order of St John of Jerusalem, Preceptor of Beverley, Turcopolier], John [2nd of name], Bartholomew [3rd Lord Grey of Rotherfield], Robert, Knt. [4th Lord Grey of Rotherfield], and Richard, Knt., and two daughters, Juliane and Maud. He had letters of protection going beyond seas with his cousin, William de Clinton, Earl of Huntingdon, in 1344. He was in the Crecy campaign in 1346 in the first division with Edward, Prince of Wales. In 1360 he owed a debt of 1,000 marks to the Prior of the Hospital of Saint John of Jerusalem in England. He was summoned to Parliament from 20 Nov. 1360 to 4 October 1373, by writs directed Johanni de Grg or Johanni de Grg de RothTeeld. In 1361 he had license to grant the advowson of the church of Oxborough, Norfolk to the Prior and brethren of St. John of Jerusalem in England; he also had license to settle the manor of Duston, Northamptonshire on himself for life, with successive remainders to his elder son, John, his next son, John, and another son, Bartholomew, and their respective heirs male. In 1362 he had license to grant the advowson of half the church of Darfield, Yorkshire to the Prior of the Hospital of Saint John of Jerusalem. He presented to a mediety of the churchof Ketdewell, Yorkshire, 1362, and to the church of Arley, Warwickshire, 1365, 1371. In 1366 Bartholomew de Burghersh, KG., 4th Lord Burghersh, petitioned the Pope on behalf of him and his wife for an indult for plenary remission. In 1368, as Sir John Grey, he presented to the church of Syderstone, Norfolk, it being his turn to present. In 1372 he had license to grant a messuage and land in East Claydon, Buckinghamshire to the Prior and convent of Bisham. SIR JOHN DE GREY, 2nd Lord Grey of Rotherfield, died 4 June 1375. He left a will dated 1375, proved 16 June 1375 (Linc. Epis. Reg., 116 Bokingham), requesting burial in the monastery of St. James near Northampton. In 1384 his widow, Maud, was pardoned for failing to appear when sued by Robert Ashcombe for a debt of £40. In 1386, her sons, Robert Grey, Lord Grey of Rotherfield, and Richard Grey, and Ralph Hastings entered a recognizance of £1000 for themselves, their men and servants not to hurt or harm Robert Ashcombe. Maud, Lady Grey of Rotherfield, died 23 Jan. 1386/7. (* Footnote: C.P. 6 (1926): 147 & footnote k (sub Grey) states that Maud, wife of Sir John de Grey above, was "possibly" the daughter of Bartholomew de Burghersh, Knt., 3rd Lord Burghersh [see BURGHERSH 12]. While it is true that the younger Bartholomew de Burghersh, K.G., 4th Lord Burghersh petitioned the Pope on behalf of John and Maud in 1366 [see Papal Regs.: Petitions 1 (1896): 5311, there is nothing in that record which suggests that Maud de Grey was the sister of Bartholomew de Burghersh, 4th Lord Burghersh. Even so, Maud de Grey may well have been a member of the Burghersh family. New research indicates that the arms of Grey of Rotherfield (i.e., Barry of six Argent and Azure a bendlet Gules) are impaled with those of Burghersh on a shield found in the church of Ewelme, Oxfordshire at the tomb of Alice Chaucer, Duchess of Suffolk (died 1475) (see Harvey et al. Vis. of Oxford 1566, 1574, 1634 & 1574 (H.S.P. 5) (1871): 38-40; Lyle Original Identity of the York & Towneley Cycles (1919): 116-118; Krauss et al. Three Chaucer Studies (1932): 47; Oxoniensa 5 (1940): 78-93). This impalement suggests that there was a marriage sometime before 1475 between a male member of the Grey family of Rotherfield and a Burghersh female, but whether it commemorates the marriage of John and Maud de Grey is unknown. Duchess Alice Chaucer was blood related to the Burghersh family through her mother, Maud, who was the daughter and co-heiress of John Burghersh, Knt. (died 1391), of Ewelme, Oxfordshire. Another shield at the tomb of Duchess Alice displays the arms of Mohun impaling Burghersh, which surely commemorates the marriage of Duchess Alice's cousin, Joan, de Burghersh, and her husband, John de Mohun, KG., 2nd Lord Mohun. Joan de Burghersh is a known daughter of Bartholomew de Burghersh, Knt., 3rd Lord Burghersh [see MOHUN 13]. This matter needs further study.) Dugdale Antiqs. of Warwickshire 1 (1730): 104.

He was born about 1254 (aged 24 in 1278). Isabel had the manor of Chedworth, Gloucestershire in free marriage. They had one daughter, Maud. In 1275-6 he arraigned an assize of novel disseisin against Nicholas Attewode and others touching a tenement in Weston Chaurz, Hampshire. In 1276 he witnessed a deed of his older brother, Pain de Chaworth, to Aaron son of Vives, a Jew. He was Captain of the king's munition in Wales in 1277. Sometime during the period, c.1278-82, Patrick witnessed a charter of Guy de Bryan to the burgesses of Laugharne, Carmarthenshire, Wales. He was heir in 1279 to his older brother, Pain de Chaworth, Knt. In 1279-80 Walter atte Berewe arraigned an assize of novel disseisin against Patrick de Chaworth and others touching a tenement in Etloe, Gloucestershire. In 1280-1 the king granted murage to the bailiffs and men of Kidwelly, Carmarthenshire for a term of five years at the instance of Patrick de Chaworth their lord. Patrick fought in Wales in 1282. On 6 June 1283, he confirmed the gift of his brother, Pain de Chaworth, to Godstow Abbey, which provided for the anniversaries of the obits of their mother, Hawise, and grandmother, Eve. SIR PATRICK DE CHAWORTH died testate shortly before 7 July 1283. His widow, Isabel, married (2nd) between 10 Sept. 1285 (record of Highworth Hundred Rolls) and 27 Jan. 1287 (date of fine for marrying without license) HUGH LE DESPENSER, Knt., of Loughborough, Arnesby, Barrow, Beaumanor, and Hugglescote (in Ibstock), Leicestershire, Ryhall, Rutlandshire, Wycombe, Buckinghamshire, Maplederwell, Hampshire, Woking, Surrey, Broad Town (then in Cliff-Pippard), Eastern (in Wootton Basset), Wootton Basset, Wiltshire, Barrowby, Hillam, Parlington, and Shippen [Ho], Yorkshire, etc., Justice of the Forest south of Trent, 1297-1307, 1308-11, 1312-15, 1324-6, Privy Councillor, 1297, Warden of the Coasts south of Trent, 1303, Constable of Devizes, Marlborough, Odiham, St. Briavel's, and Striguil Castles, son and heir of Hugh le Despenser, Knt., of Loughborough, Leicestershire, Justiciar of England, by Aline (or Aveline), daughter and heiress of Philip Basset, Knt., Justiciar of England. He was born 1 March 1260/1 (aged 14 in 1275). They had two sons, Hugh, Knt. [2nd Lord Despenser], and Philip, Knt., and four daughters, Aline (wife of Edward Burnell, Knt., Lord Burnell), Isabel, Margaret, and Elizabeth. He was heir in 1275 to his cousin, John le Despenser, by which he inherited the manor of Arnesby, Leicestershire. A letter of William de Valence to John de Kirkby indicates that the Queen exacted 1,000 marks from Hugh because of his marriage. In Jan. 1285 the king took the manor of Bollington, Cheshire because Hugh took emends of ale without warrant. In 1286 and again in 1287, he appointed attorneys, he then going beyond seas. He released all right to his lands and tenements in Soham, Cambridgeshire and Bollington in Macclesfield, Cheshire to the king in 1286-7. He was with the king in Gascony in 1287. In 1289 he was going beyond seas with Roger le Bigod, Earl of Norfolk. He presented to the churches of Cossington, Leicestershire, 1289, Stoke Brueme, Northamptonshire, 1292, 1304, and Winterbourne Houghton, Dorset, 1316, 1317. In 1292 he was granted a weekly market and year fair at Arnesby, Leicestershire. In 1293 he had license to enclosed 30 acres of wood adjoining his park at Fastern (in Wootton Basset), Wiltshire. In 1293-4 he claimed to have view of frankpledge in his manor of Barrowby, Hillam, Parlington, and Shippen [Ho], Yorkshire, and that he and his men were free from suits of counties, hundreds/wapentakes/ridings, and from sheriff's aid and murdrum and view of frankpledge. He was appointed an envoy to treat with the King of the Romans in 1294. He was summoned to Parliament from 24 June 1295 to 14 March 1321/2, by writs directed Hugoni le Despenser, whereby he is held to have become Lord Despenser. In 1295 he was going beyond seas on the king's service. The following year he was going beyond seas on an embassy for the king. In 1297 he was granted 20 oaks fit for timber by the king. The same year he took part in the expedition to Flanders. In 1297 he demised the manor of Arnesby, Leicestershire to two tenants for a term of seven years. In 1298 Maud le Barber of Garscherch testified in London court that Saer le Barber said that Sir Hugh le Despenser "kept more robbers with him than any man in England." In 1299 he was granted the manors of Chelworth and Somerford, Wiltshire, together with the bailiwick of the Forest of Braydon, by his kinsman, Robert de Kaynes (or Kaignes). He was present at the Siege of Caerlaverock in 1300. In 1300 he was going to the court of Rome on the king's special affairs. In 1301 Ralph Pipard granted him the manor of Great Haseley, Oxfordshire. In 1302 Robert de Kaynes, Knt. conveyed to him the manors of Tarrant Keyneston, Dorset and two parts of the manor of Newentone, Wales, together with the reversion of the manors of Dodford, Northamptonshire, Oxhill, Warwickshire, Coombe Keynes, Wiltshire, and a third part of Newentone, Wales. He took part in the negotiations with France which preceded the peace of 1303. In 1305 he was sent as Joint Ambassador to Pope Clement V at Lyons, where he obtained a bull absolving the king from the oaths which he had taken to his people. In Feb. 1306 Hugh received a papal indult to have a portable altar. His wife, Isabel, died shortly before 30 May 1306. At the Coronation of King Edward II in 1308, he carried part of the royal insignia. In the quarrel about Peter de Gavaston in 1308, Hugh alone sided with the king against the barons. He was regarded as a deserter from the common cause, and the parliament which met at Northampton procured his dismissal from the king's council. His disgrace was not of long duration; he received the castles of Devizes and Marlborough, and became the chief adviser of the king. On the death of Gavaston in 1312, he became the chief man of the court party, and encouraged the king to form plans of revenge against the barons. He was present at the Battle of Bannockburn 24 June 1314, and accompanied the king in his flight to Dunbar, and thence by sea to Berwick. About this time his son, Sir Hugh le Despenser, joined the king's side. He was appointed Ambassador to Pope John XXII in 1319, and Joint Ambassador to the Pope in 1320. In May and June 1321 the barons of the Welsh Marches and their adherents ravaged the lands of the younger Despenser in Wales and those of the elder throughout the country. In August of that year both Despensers were accused in Parliament, chiefly on account of the son's misconduct, of many misdeeds, including appropriating royal power to themselves, counselling the King evilly, and replacing good ministers by bad ones. They were then disinherited and exiled from the realm. The elder Hugh accordingly retired to the Continent. The sentence on the Despensers was pronounced unlawful at a provincial council of the clergy about 1 Jan. 1321/2. In March following, the elder Hugh accompanied the King against the contrariants, and was present at the judgment on Thomas, Earl of Lancaster. The proceedings against the Despensers were annulled and cancelled, and his lands restored 7 May 1322. He was created Earl of Winchester 10 May 1322, and granted £20 yearly from the issues of Hampshire, together with the Castle and manor of Brimpsfield, Gloucestershire, and the manors of Badgeworth and Syde, Gloucestershire, Ashton Giffard, Codford St. Peter, Sherrington, and Stapleford, Wiltshire (formerly belonging to John Giffard), as well as other lands formerly belonging to Thomas Mauduit, Henry le Tyeys, Warin de Lisle, and John de Kyngeston. The queen hated the Despensers, and when some difficulty arose in France, she gladly left the kingdom on an embassy to her brother, King Charles IV of France. When the queen landed in England with an armed force in Sept. 1326, she put out a proclamation against the Despensers. On the king's flight to Wales in October 1326, Earl Hugh was dispatched to defend Bristol, which, however, he at once surrendered on the arrival of the Queen. The next day, 27 October 1326, SIR HUGH LE DESPENSER, Earl of Winchester, was tried - without being allowed to speak in his own defence - condemned to death as a traitor, and hanged on the common gallows, all his honours forfeited. His head was sent to Winchester. Bridges Hist. & Antiqs. of Northamptonshire 1 (1791): 325. Nichols Hist. & Antiqs. of Leicester 3(1) (1800): 136-137.

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

JOAN DE CLARE, married (1st DUNCAN OF FIFE, 9th Earl of Fife (in Scotland), son and heir of Colban of Fife, Knt., 8th Earl of Fife, by Anne [see GROBY 8], daughter and co-heiress of Alan Durward, Knt., of Coull and Lumphanan, Aberdeenshire, Lintrathen, Angus, Lundin, Fife, Reedie (in Airlie), Forfarshire, Urquhart, Moray, etc., Usher of the King of Scots, Justiciar of Scotland. He was born about 1262 (aged 8 in 1270). They had one son, Duncan, Knt. [10th Earl of Fife]. He was admitted to the possession of his Earldom in 1284. He was chosen one of the six Regents of the Kingdom [Scotland] in 1286. DUNCAN OF FIFE, 9th Earl of Fife, was murdered by Sir Patrick de Abernethy and others on the king's highway at Pitpollok 10 Sept. 1289, and was buried at Coupar Angus Abbey, Perthshire. In 1292 his widow, Countess Joan, paid a fine of 1,000 marks of silver to King Edward I to have her marriage and for leave to marry whomever she pleased. In 1299, while on her way between Stirling Castle and Edinburgh, she was abducted by Herbert de Morham, Knt., of Scotland, who imprisoned her in the house of Thomas his brother in an aborted attempt to get her to marry him. In April 1299 she complained to King Edward I that Morham had also taken her jewels, horses, robes, and other goods to the value of £2,000, an "committed other enormities to the scandal of the countess and the king's contempt." On 1 Nov. 1299 she granted John de Hastings, lord of Abergavenny, the manors of Clapthome, Northamptonshire, and Carlton fle Moorland], Lincolnshire, together with her lands in Scotland, namely Strazhurd, Kimile, and Loygiastre, Perthshire and Coull and Lumphanan, Aberdeenshire, to hold the said lands for the term of his life, paying to the said Joan £80 per year. Joan married (2nd) after 1 Nov. 1299 (date of grant) GERVASE AVENEL, Knt., of Scotland. In 1305 the Earl of Atholl petitioned King Edward I to deliver Coull, Aberdeenshire to Joan, Countess of Fife. In 1316 King Edward II ordered Gervase and Joan to hand over various tenements in Carlton le Moorland, Lincolnshire to the Abbot of Thornton. In 1317 the king granted Hugh le Despenser the younger the manor of Glapthom, Northamptonshire, "which Gervase Avenel and Joan, his wife, and Douegal de Fyf, son of the said Joan, held of the inheritance of the said Joan, ... which was forfeited to the king because they lately adhered to his Scotch enemies." The same year her estate in Hampshire also escheated to the Crown. In 1322 the king granted Hugh le Despenser the younger the manor of Carlton le Moorland, Lincolnshire, "late of Gervase Avenel and Joan his wife, who adhered to the Scots, and whose lands therefore escheated to the king." … [Source not transcribed.] Children of Gilbert de Clare, Knt., by Joan of England: i.

He was knighted by the king 22 May 1306. In October 1306 his lands were ordered to be seized at the King's hands and his body to be arrested in consequence of his having absented himself from the King's army in Scotland without license. After the death of his mother in April 1307, he was styled Earl of Gloucester and Hertford. On 18 August 1307 all his lands in Wales were granted to him, and, on 28 Nov. following, he had livery of his father's lands, though still under age, and also had livery of his lands in London and others held in socage. Sometime in the period, 1307-11, Gilbert de Clare, Earl of Gloucester and Hertford, Henry de Lacy, Earl of Lincoln, and other earls and barons, while assembled in the Parliament in London, wrote to the Pope praying for the canonization of Thomas de Cantelowe, late Bishop of Hereford. He married at Waltham Abbey 29 Sept. 1308 MAUD DE BURGH, daughter of Richard de Burgh, Knt., 3rd Earl of Ulster, lord of Connacht, by his wife, Margaret [see BURGH 5 for her ancestry]. They had one son, John. He took no part in the disputes occasioned by the favors showered by his uncle, the King, on the king's favorite, Peter de Gavaston. In 1308 he was made chief Captain of the expedition into Scotland to relieve Rutherglen Castle in Scotland. He presented to the church of Rendcombe, Gloucestershire in 1308. He was forbidden to tourney in June 1309 and again in Jan. 1313. He was appointed one of the Lords Ordainer of Reform in 1310. In August 1310 he accompanied the King to Berwick. In 1310-11 he granted land at Deineck [?Deviockl, Cornwall for the use of poor students in the University of Oxford. In 1311 he was appointed Keeper of the Realm during the king's absence in Scotland. He was with the king in Scotland in April 1311, and in June was with him at Berwick. In 1312, after the murder of Peter de Gavaston, he and the Earl of Richmond tried to make peace between the king and Thomas, Earl of Lancaster. In May 1313 he was again appointed regent during the king's absence in France. In 1314 he was going overseas on the king's service in the train of Queen Isabel on an embassy concerning Gascony. SIR GILBERT DE CLARE, Earl of Gloucester and Hertford, fought at the Battle of Bannockburn 24 June 1314, where he was slain while leading a fierce attack on the Scots. His body was buried at Tewkesbury Abbey, Gloucestershire at his father's right hand. His widow, Maud, presented to the church of Bletchingley, Surrey 4 July 1320.

They had one daughter, Margaret. He was not summoned to Parliament. He was knighted in 1327. He presented to the church of Stokenham, Devon in 1328. In 1329 he acknowledged that he owed the king 1,000 marks, to be levied, in default of payment, of his lands and chattels in Norfolk. He was pardoned in 1330 for adhering to Henry, Earl of Lancaster, and other rebels. He was one of the guardians of the coast against the Scots in July 1333. He was on commissions of array, etc., in Cornwall in 1336, and in Devon in 1338. He was heir in 1340 to his younger brother, Edward de Monthermer, Knt., Lord Monthermer, by which he inherited the manors of Lantyan, Cornwall, Hunton cm Crawley), Hampshire, and Erlestoke, Wiltshire. SIR THOMAS DE MONTHERMER, 2nd Lord Monthermer, died 24 June 1340, being slain at the Battle of Sluys. In March 1341 the king requested that his widow, Margaret, pay 100 marks a year to the Earl of Salisbury for the support of her daughter, Margaret de Monthermer, whose wardship the king has granted to him. His widow, Margaret, received a papal indult for plenary remission in 1346. She died 15, 22, or 26 May 1349. … [Source not transcribed.] (Footnote: Contemporary records indicate that Margaret de Brewes, wife of Thomas de Monthermer, was earlier the wife of Henry le Tyeys, whom she married in or before 1316 [see Pugh Abs. of Feet of Fines Rel. Wiltshire (Wiltshire Arch. & Nat. Hist. Soc. Recs. 1) (1939): 251. In 1320 Henry le Tyeys and his wife, Margaret, were granted lands in Bockhampton (in Lamboum), Berkshire, for life; Bockhampton was held after Henry's death by Margaret de Monthermer [see VCH Berkshire 4 (1924): 258; Feudal Aids 1(1899): 621. Thomas and Margaret de Monthermer also possessed part of the manor of Lydiard Tregoze, Wiltshire, which was previously held by Henry le Tyeys [see VCH Wiltshire 9 (1970): 83]. Cal. Inas. Misc. 2 (1916): 457 shows that Margaret de Monthermer held this property in dower, evidently in right of her first marriage. Elsewhere, the IPM of Alice, sister of Henry le Tyeys, taken in 1350 indicates that Margeret "who was the wife of Henry Tieys" previously held a one-third share in the manor of Bracken, Yorkshire in dower, and that the said Margaret died 20 May 1349. This is virtually the same death date given for Thomas de Montherrner's wife Margaret recorded in her own TPM taken in the previous year [see Cal.

He served as a surety for his step-mother, Isabel, in 1325, for repayment of a loan of £200. He was knighted in 1327. In 1330 he was suspected of being implicated in the so-called plot of Edmund of Woodstock, Earl of Kent. His lands were confiscated and he was confined to Winchester Castle for "certain seclitions." The king ordered that his lands be restored 3 Dec. 1330. In 1334 and 1335 he was summoned for military service | de Hastings, John (I6241)

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.

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.

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.

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

In 1209 he paid a fine to the king of 400 marks and two great horses to have seisin of the manor of Sutton, Berkshire. In 1211 he owed 1,200 marks to have the honour of Oakhampton, Devon, which had been in the king's hands. In 1217 he was ordered by the king to release Exeter Castle and the stannaries and coinage of Devon to the queen mother. In 1214 he sued Roger Chike and two others regarding lands in Sutton, Berkshire. In April 1218 he offered 5 marks to have a jury concerning the hundred of Redlane which he said was his and pertains to his manor of Iweme, which hundred, and the hundred of Gillingham, were withdrawn from him and his ancestors. In July 1218 the king committed custody of the manor of Sutton, Berkshire to John of Wiggonholt for as long as it pleases the king, so that he answer for the issues of the same manor to Stephen de Croy, merchant of Amiens, for the debt which Robert de Courtenay owed him.

In 1220 he was granted a two day fair at his manor of Okehampton, Devon. In 1220 John de Saint Helen sued him regarding half a hide of land in Sutton, Berkshire. The same year Maud de Courtenay (his aunt and step-grandmother) sued him regarding the manors of Oakhampton, Chulmleigh, Kenn, and Musbury, and Sampford, Devon and Hemington, Somerset, which she claimed as her right. In 1224 he made fine with the king to render £30 to him annually at the Exchequer of the £190 8s. 7d. due from him to the king; he was allowed such costs he incurred, by order of the king and the same justiciar, to fill a breach in the wall of Exeter castle. In 1227 the king committed the manor of Sedborough (in Parkham), Devon with its appurtenances to his wife, Mary. In 1230 he was overseas in the service of the king.

Sometime in the period, 1234-46, he confirmed the grants of his father and ancestors to the monks of Stogursey. In 1240 he sailed with Richard, Earl of Cornwall, for Palestine. After his return to England, he was so rapacious and oppressive in the execution of his office as Forester that he escaped prison only by payment of a very heavy fine. He retired in disgrace to Wethersfield, Essex. SIR JOHN DE NEVILLE died at Wethersfield, Essex shortly before 8 June 1246, and was buried at Waltham Abbey, Essex.

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.

Surrey and Sussex, 1295, Joint Warden north of Trent, 1295, justice itinerant, son and heir by his father's 2nd marriage, born in or after August 1231. He married in August 1247 ALICE (or ALIX) DE LUSIGNAN, daughter of Hugues [X] le Brun (or de Lusignan), Count of La Marche and Angoulême, seigneur of Lusignan, Château-Larcher, Montreuil-Bonnin, and la Mothe-Saint-Heray de Lusignan, by Isabel, widow of John, King of England [see ENGLAND 5], and daughter and heiress of Ademar Ill Taillefer, Count of Angoulême [see ENGLAND 5 for her ancestry]. Alice was the uterine half-sister of King Henry III of England [see ENGLAND 6]. They had one son, William, Knt., and two daughters, Eleanor and Isabel. By an unknown noblewoman, he had also two illegitimate sons, [Master] John [Vicar of Dewsbury, York, Rector of Dorking, Surrey and Fishlake, Yorkshire, Prebendary of Thockrington, living 1330] and [Master] William (Rector of Hatfield, Yorkshire, living 1314). He was with Edward, Prince of Wales, in Gascony in 1254, and knighted with him in Spain. In 1255 he joined the other nobles in their resistance to the influx of foreigners into England. In Sept. 1255 he was instructed to escort the King of Scotland to the King. His wife, Alice, died 9 Feb. 1255/6. In 1257 he accompanied Richard, Earl of Cornwall, King elect of the Romans, to Almain. In 1260 he went overseas in the service of Prince Edward. He joined Simon de Montfort and Prince Edward with many of the magnates in 1263. He was in the prince's army at the Battle of Lewes 14 May 1264, whence he and the king's brothers fled to Pevensey, subsequently crossing to France. In 1265 he fought at the Battle of Evesham under Prince Edward. He was in joint command of the royalist forces at Chesterfield in 1266. In 1266 he quitclaimed to the Prior and Convent of Lewes his right to the advowson of the church of Dewsbury, Yorkshire. In 1267 he received a pardon for excesses committed in the recent time of disturbance. He took the cross 24 June 1268, though it does not appear that he went on crusade. In May 1270 the king granted him a writ to recover certain parcels of land which belonged to David de Ashby in Ashby de la Zouch, Leicestershire, together with the wardship of Isabel, daughter of Stephen, son and heir of the said David de Ashby, against Alan la Zouche, Knt. and Ellen his wife, who the earl said unlawfully occupied the land. In July 1270 he quarrelled in Westminster Hall with Alan la Zouche, Knt. and attacked him so violently that he died on 10 August following, his son escaping with difficulty. The earl fled to his castle at Reigate, Surrey, pursued by Prince Edward, and begged for mercy. On 4 August 1270 he was pardoned upon his agreeing to pay a substantial sum to the king. On 20 Nov. 1272, four days after the king's death, he swore allegiance to Prince Edward, then on his way home from a crusade. The Earl was one of the guardians of the realm until his return. In 1274-5 John d'Eiville arraigned an assize of mort d'ancestor against him touching the manor of Greetwell, Lincolnshire. In the same period, John son of Gilbert de Cokerington arraigned an assize of mort d'ancestor against him touching possessions in North Kynton and Covenham, Lincolnshire. In the same period, Simon le Franceis and others arraigned an assize of novel disseisin against him and others touching a tenement in Helpringham, Lincolnshire. In 1277-8 William Foliot and Isabel his wife arraigned an assize of novel disseisin against Ellen widow of Alan la Zouche and John de Warenne, Earl of Surrey, touching a tenement in Ashby, Northamptonshire. He was summoned to serve against the Welsh in 1277 and 1294, and against the Scots, 1291, 1297, and 1300. He was heir c.1282 to his sister, Isabel de Warenne, Countess of Arundel, by which he inherited the patronage of Marham Abbey, Norfolk, which abbey was founded by his sister in 1251. In 1282 the king granted him the land of Bromfield and Yale, together with the Castle of Dinas Bran in Denbighshire. In 1290 he was going as the king's envoy to Scotland. In 1291 he was appointed Keeper of Scotland. He defeated the Scots at the Battle of Dunbar 27 April 1296. On 3 Sept. 1296 he was appointed Keeper of the realm of Scotland. In August 1297 the Scots attacked his advance guard, under Henry de Percy, but were repelled; but on 10 Sept. the Earl was defeated with great slaughter at Stirling, and fled to Berwick, which he abandoned and lost. In Dec. 1297 he was appointed Captain of the army to oppose the invading Scots; in Jan. and Feb. 1297/8 he marched into Scotland. He commanded the rear-guard at the Battle of Falkirk 22 July 1298. In 1300 he commanded the second division at the Siege of Caerlaverock. He signed the Barons' letter to Pope Boniface VIII in 1301 as Comes Warenne. SIR JOHN DE WARENNE, 7th Earl of Surrey, died testate at Kennington, near London, about 29 Sept. 1304. He and his wife, Alice, were buried before the high altar at Lewes Priory, Sussex.

Surrey and Sussex, 1295, Joint Warden north of Trent, 1295, justice itinerant, son and heir by his father's 2nd marriage, born in or after August 1231. He married in August 1247 ALICE (or ALIX) DE LUSIGNAN, daughter of Hugues [X] le Brun (or de Lusignan), Count of La Marche and Angoulême, seigneur of Lusignan, Château-Larcher, Montreuil-Bonnin, and la Mothe-Saint-Heray de Lusignan, by Isabel, widow of John, King of England [see ENGLAND 5], and daughter and heiress of Ademar Ill Taillefer, Count of Angoulême [see ENGLAND 5 for her ancestry]. Alice was the uterine half-sister of King Henry III of England [see ENGLAND 6]. They had one son, William, Knt., and two daughters, Eleanor and Isabel. By an unknown noblewoman, he had also two illegitimate sons, [Master] John [Vicar of Dewsbury, York, Rector of Dorking, Surrey and Fishlake, Yorkshire, Prebendary of Thockrington, living 1330] and [Master] William (Rector of Hatfield, Yorkshire, living 1314). He was with Edward, Prince of Wales, in Gascony in 1254, and knighted with him in Spain. In 1255 he joined the other nobles in their resistance to the influx of foreigners into England. In Sept. 1255 he was instructed to escort the King of Scotland to the King. His wife, Alice, died 9 Feb. 1255/6. In 1257 he accompanied Richard, Earl of Cornwall, King elect of the Romans, to Almain. In 1260 he went overseas in the service of Prince Edward. He joined Simon de Montfort and Prince Edward with many of the magnates in 1263. He was in the prince's army at the Battle of Lewes 14 May 1264, whence he and the king's brothers fled to Pevensey, subsequently crossing to France. In 1265 he fought at the Battle of Evesham under Prince Edward. He was in joint command of the royalist forces at Chesterfield in 1266. In 1266 he quitclaimed to the Prior and Convent of Lewes his right to the advowson of the church of Dewsbury, Yorkshire. In 1267 he received a pardon for excesses committed in the recent time of disturbance. He took the cross 24 June 1268, though it does not appear that he went on crusade. In May 1270 the king granted him a writ to recover certain parcels of land which belonged to David de Ashby in Ashby de la Zouch, Leicestershire, together with the wardship of Isabel, daughter of Stephen, son and heir of the said David de Ashby, against Alan la Zouche, Knt. and Ellen his wife, who the earl said unlawfully occupied the land. In July 1270 he quarrelled in Westminster Hall with Alan la Zouche, Knt. and attacked him so violently that he died on 10 August following, his son escaping with difficulty. The earl fled to his castle at Reigate, Surrey, pursued by Prince Edward, and begged for mercy. On 4 August 1270 he was pardoned upon his agreeing to pay a substantial sum to the king. On 20 Nov. 1272, four days after the king's death, he swore allegiance to Prince Edward, then on his way home from a crusade. The Earl was one of the guardians of the realm until his return. In 1274-5 John d'Eiville arraigned an assize of mort d'ancestor against him touching the manor of Greetwell, Lincolnshire. In the same period, John son of Gilbert de Cokerington arraigned an assize of mort d'ancestor against him touching possessions in North Kynton and Covenham, Lincolnshire. In the same period, Simon le Franceis and others arraigned an assize of novel disseisin against him and others touching a tenement in Helpringham, Lincolnshire. In 1277-8 William Foliot and Isabel his wife arraigned an assize of novel disseisin against Ellen widow of Alan la Zouche and John de Warenne, Earl of Surrey, touching a tenement in Ashby, Northamptonshire. He was summoned to serve against the Welsh in 1277 and 1294, and against the Scots, 1291, 1297, and 1300. He was heir c.1282 to his sister, Isabel de Warenne, Countess of Arundel, by which he inherited the patronage of Marham Abbey, Norfolk, which abbey was founded by his sister in 1251. In 1282 the king granted him the land of Bromfield and Yale, together with the Castle of Dinas Bran in Denbighshire. In 1290 he was going as the king's envoy to Scotland. In 1291 he was appointed Keeper of Scotland. He defeated the Scots at the Battle of Dunbar 27 April 1296. On 3 Sept. 1296 he was appointed Keeper of the realm of Scotland. In August 1297 the Scots attacked his advance guard, under Henry de Percy, but were repelled; but on 10 Sept. the Earl was defeated with great slaughter at Stirling, and fled to Berwick, which he abandoned and lost. In Dec. 1297 he was appointed Captain of the army to oppose the invading Scots; in Jan. and Feb. 1297/8 he marched into Scotland. He commanded the rear-guard at the Battle of Falkirk 22 July 1298. In 1300 he commanded the second division at the Siege of Caerlaverock. He signed the Barons' letter to Pope Boniface VIII in 1301 as Comes Warenne. SIR JOHN DE WARENNE, 7th Earl of Surrey, died testate at Kennington, near London, about 29 Sept. 1304. He and his wife, Alice, were buried before the high altar at Lewes Priory, Sussex.

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

| 6280 | RESEARCH_NOTES: 1. “Royal Ancestry: A Study in Colonial & Medieval Families,” Douglas Richardson (2013): “JOHN FITZ GILBERT (also known as JOHN THE MARSHAL), of Cherhill, Great Bedwyn, Marlborough, Rockley, Tidworth, and Wexcombe (in Great Bedwyn), Wiltshire, Newbury, Berkshire, Nettlecombe, Somerset, etc., hereditary Master Marshal of England, son and heir, was of age in 1130. He married (1st) before 1130 ALINE PIPARD, daughter and heiress of Walter Pipard. They had two sons, Gilbert and Walter. In 1130 he accounted for his father's lands, and for the land and daughter of Walter Pipard. He was a loyal and trusted royal official and attested to at least twelve acts of King Henry I between 1129-35. He was with King Henry I in Normandy in 1130, and probably soon afterwards in England. About 1130 the king granted him Borough of Great Bedwyn, Wiltshire, which consisted of the tenements of 25 burgesses, and the lordship in demesne of Stock, Wexcombe, and Wilton and of what became West Bedwyn and Little Bedwyn manors. In 1137 he accompanied King Stephen on his expedition to Normandy. He took possession and fortified the Castles of Ludgershall and Marlborough, Wiltshire in 1138. In 1140 he held Marlborough, Wiltshire for King Stephen, and captured Robert Fitz Hubert who had taken the royal castle of Devizes. About 1141 he repudiated his wife, Aline; she subsequently married Stephen de Gay.* He married (2nd) SIBYL OF SALISBURY, daughter of Walter of Salisbury (also known as Walter Fitz Edward), of Chitterne, Wiltshire, Great Gaddesden, Hertfordshire, North Aston, Oxfordshire, etc., hereditary Sheriff of Wiltshire, by Sibyl, daughter of Patrick de Chaources (or Sourches) [see LONGESPÉE 2 for her ancestry]. Her maritagium included the manor of Mildenhall, Wiltshire. They had four sons, John [Marshal of England], William, Knt. [3rd Earl of Pembroke and Strigull, Lord of Leinster, Marshal of England], Anselm, and Henry [Archdeacon of Stafford, Dean of York, Bishop of Exeter], and two daughters, Maud and ___. He deserted to the Empress in 1141 and supported the Angevin cause thenceforth until 1154. He witnessed at least four charters of the Empress, and there are two writs addressed to him in Wiltshire by her. He also witnessed five charters of Duke Henry in Normandy. In 1141 he was cut off and surrounded in Wherwell Abbey, Hampshire, but escaped with the loss of an eye and other wounds. In 1142 he was with the Empress at Oxford, and two years later at Devizes. In 1144 he was raiding the surrounding country from Marlborough Castle and oppressing the clergy. He was with Maud's son, Henry, at Devizes in 1149 and 1153. In 1152 Newbury Castle was defended by his constable against King Stephen. On the accession of King Henry II in 1154, he was granted Marlbrough Castle and manors of Cherhill and Wexcombe, Wiltshire by the king. In 1155-6 he granted to the Templars all his land at Temple Rockley, Wiltshire which he held of his brother-in-law, Patrick, Earl of Salisbury free and clear of secular service. He had to surrender Marlborough Castle to the king in 1158. He is probably the "John Fitz Gilbert" who witnessed a charter of William de Chesney dated c.1159-63. He was present at the Council of Clarendon in 1164; soon afterwards he sued Thomas Becket for part of his manor of Pagham, Sussex. He was a benefactor of Troarn Abbey, to which he gave land and a house in Winchester, Hampshire. JOHN FITZ GILBERT died shortly before Michaelmas 1165. His wife, Sibyl, died 3 June, year unknown. In 1175-6 part of a fine due to the crown from his heirs was remitted in reimbursements for repairs done to Marlborough Castle. (* Note: Aline Pipard and her 2nd husband, Stephen de Gay, were the parents of Philip de Gay, of Northbrook (in Kirklinton), Oxfordshire, and Wootton Basset, Broadtown (in Cliffe Pipard), and Compton Basset, Wiltshire. He married Cecily ___. They had two daughters, Cecily and Aline (wife of Alan Basset, Knt.). Philip de Gay died shortly before 3 July 1190, when the king made a division of his lands between his two daughters. His widow, Cecily, was in the king's gift in 1194-5.

They had six sons, William [1st of name] (lord of Tullaroan, Governor of Kilkenny, Constable and Seneschal of Leinster, died before 1242), Robert (died before 1219), William [2nd of name] (died before 1242), Hamon (of Dormston, Worcestershire), Anselm [Bishop of St. David's], and possibly Richard [monk at Westminster], and one daughter, Margaret (or Margery). In 1194 he faced the seizure of his rents and chattels at Sodbury, Gloucestershire presumably as a result of his support for the rebellion led in that year by the king's brother John [future King John]. The king's officials collected £11 as a year's rent from Sodbury, with William's confiscated stock, corn and perquisites there being valued at more than £20. About 1200 he issued a charter for Saint-Evroul concerning Soulangy and promised to respect `antiquas consuetudines' at `Alnetum.' In 1203-4 the Abbess of Caen fined to have the peace of William le Gras, Seneschal of Normandy, and Louvrecaire and for restitution of her lands and men whom mercenaries had seized. Late in 1203 King John fled Normandy for England. He was joined there shortly afterwards by William le Gras, his steward, and by a large number of William's sons and relations. Following his departure from Normandy, there were some 22 separate complaints against William in which he was accused of extorting lands or rights while he was seneschal. In 1204 the king ordered the sheriff of Somerset that, if the manor of Newton St Loe, late of Robert de Saint-Lo, was in the king's hands, then to deliver it to William Crassus; if the manor was not in the king's hands, then it was to be seized and seisin delivered to William. Sometime before 1215 Juliane Ponte de l'Arche, wife of Robert de Berkeley, granted to Southwick Priory the tenement, held by free burgage tenure, which William Crassus [le Gras] sold to her in his great need, together with all his houses and a small messuage near the norwthwest corner of the cemetery of the church of St. Mary at Berkeley, Gloucestershire.

William le Gras (Crassus) was from an Anglo-Norman baronial family long established in central Normandy and was a kinsman of William Marshal and Ralph Taisson; nevertheless, he tended to favour John's detested mercenaries and was afterwards credited with turning the Norman barons against John in 1203. A generation later he was remembered with loathing in the region around Falaise for using his power as seneschal to extort lands from his neighbours; hence the king of France confiscated the lands of William le Gras as he marched through this district in 1204, and loudly excluded him from his amnesty to the Normans.").

He married (1st) before 1130 ALINE PIPARD, daughter and heiress of Walter Pipard. They had two sons, Gilbert and Walter. In 1130 he accounted for his father's lands, and for the land and daughter of Walter Pipard. He was a loyal and trusted royal official and attested to at least twelve acts of King Henry I between 1129-35. He was with King Henry I in Normandy in 1130, and probably soon afterwards in England. About 1130 the king granted him Borough of Great Bedwyn, Wiltshire, which consisted of the tenements of 25 burgesses, and the lordship in demesne of Stock, Wexcombe, and Wilton and of what became West Bedwyn and Little Bedwyn manors. In 1137 he accompanied King Stephen on his expedition to Normandy. He took possession and fortified the Castles of Ludgershall and Marlborough, Wiltshire in 1138. In 1140 he held Marlborough, Wiltshire for King Stephen, and captured Robert Fitz Hubert who had taken the royal castle of Devizes. About 1141 he repudiated his wife, Aline; she subsequently married Stephen de Gay.* He married (2nd) SIBYL OF SALISBURY, daughter of Walter of Salisbury (also known as Walter Fitz Edward), of Chitterne, Wiltshire, Great Gaddesden, Hertfordshire, North Aston, Oxfordshire, etc., hereditary Sheriff of Wiltshire, by Sibyl, daughter of Patrick de Chaources (or Sourches) [see LONGESPÉE 2 for her ancestry]. Her maritagium included the manor of Mildenhall, Wiltshire. They had four sons, John [Marshal of England], William, Knt. [3rd Earl of Pembroke and Strigull, Lord of Leinster, Marshal of England], Anselm, and Henry [Archdeacon of Stafford, Dean of York, Bishop of Exeter], and two daughters, Maud and ___. He deserted to the Empress in 1141 and supported the Angevin cause thenceforth until 1154. He witnessed at least four charters of the Empress, and there are two writs addressed to him in Wiltshire by her. He also witnessed five charters of Duke Henry in Normandy. In 1141 he was cut off and surrounded in Wherwell Abbey, Hampshire, but escaped with the loss of an eye and other wounds. In 1142 he was with the Empress at Oxford, and two years later at Devizes. In 1144 he was raiding the surrounding country from Marlborough Castle and oppressing the clergy. He was with Maud's son, Henry, at Devizes in 1149 and 1153. In 1152 Newbury Castle was defended by his constable against King Stephen. On the accession of King Henry II in 1154, he was granted Marlbrough Castle and manors of Cherhill and Wexcombe, Wiltshire by the king. In 1155-6 he granted to the Templars all his land at Temple Rockley, Wiltshire which he held of his brother-in-law, Patrick, Earl of Salisbury free and clear of secular service. He had to surrender Marlborough Castle to the king in 1158. He is probably the "John Fitz Gilbert" who witnessed a charter of William de Chesney dated c.1159-63. He was present at the Council of Clarendon in 1164; soon afterwards he sued Thomas Becket for part of his manor of Pagham, Sussex. He was a benefactor of Troarn Abbey, to which he gave land and a house in Winchester, Hampshire. JOHN FITZ GILBERT died shortly before Michaelmas 1165. His wife, Sibyl, died 3 June, year unknown. In 1175-6 part of a fine due to the crown from his heirs was remitted in reimbursements for repairs done to Marlborough Castle. (* Note: Aline Pipard and her 2nd husband, Stephen de Gay, were the parents of Philip de Gay, of Northbrook (in Kirklinton), Oxfordshire, and Wootton Basset, Broadtown (in Cliffe Pipard), and Compton Basset, Wiltshire. He married Cecily ___. They had two daughters, Cecily and Aline (wife of Alan Basset, Knt.). Philip de Gay died shortly before 3 July 1190, when the king made a division of his lands between his two daughters. His widow, Cecily, was in the king's gift in 1194-5.

This was his son and successor, the third baron, who married Mahaut de Pont de l'Arche and died in 1227, when he was succeeded by his son David, the fourth baron. The third baron is often called simply William baron of Naas', and hence the confusion with his father; but in several documents his patronymic appears, for example, as the grantee in two charters calendared in this volume (p. 154) and ascribed to c.1205. One of these is transcribed (p. 200), and the Latin is free from any possible ambiguity: Willelmo filio Villelmi baroni del Nas.

They had six sons, William [1st of name] (lord of Tullaroan, Governor of Kilkenny, Constable and Seneschal of Leinster, died before 1242), Robert (died before 1219), William [2nd of name] (died before 1242), Hamon (of Dormston, Worcestershire), Anselm [Bishop of St. David's], and possibly Richard [monk at Westminster], and one daughter, Margaret (or Margery). In 1194 he faced the seizure of his rents and chattels at Sodbury, Gloucestershire presumably as a result of his support for the rebellion led in that year by the king's brother John [future King John]. The king's officials collected £11 as a year's rent from Sodbury, with William's confiscated stock, corn and perquisites there being valued at more than £20. About 1200 he issued a charter for Saint-Evroul concerning Soulangy and promised to respect `antiquas consuetudines' at `Alnetum.' In 1203-4 the Abbess of Caen fined to have the peace of William le Gras, Seneschal of Normandy, and Louvrecaire and for restitution of her lands and men whom mercenaries had seized. Late in 1203 King John fled Normandy for England. He was joined there shortly afterwards by William le Gras, his steward, and by a large number of William's sons and relations. Following his departure from Normandy, there were some 22 separate complaints against William in which he was accused of extorting lands or rights while he was seneschal. In 1204 the king ordered the sheriff of Somerset that, if the manor of Newton St Loe, late of Robert de Saint-Lo, was in the king's hands, then to deliver it to William Crassus; if the manor was not in the king's hands, then it was to be seized and seisin delivered to William. Sometime before 1215 Juliane Ponte de l'Arche, wife of Robert de Berkeley, granted to Southwick Priory the tenement, held by free burgage tenure, which William Crassus [le Gras] sold to her in his great need, together with all his houses and a small messuage near the norwthwest corner of the cemetery of the church of St. Mary at Berkeley, Gloucestershire.

A generation later he was remembered with loathing in the region around Falaise for using his power as seneschal to extort lands from his neighbours; hence the king of France confiscated the lands of William le Gras as he marched through this district in 1204, and loudly excluded him from his amnesty to the Normans.").

He married (1st) before 1130 ALINE PIPARD, daughter and heiress of Walter Pipard. They had two sons, Gilbert and Walter. In 1130 he accounted for his father's lands, and for the land and daughter of Walter Pipard. He was a loyal and trusted royal official and attested to at least twelve acts of King Henry I between 1129-35. He was with King Henry I in Normandy in 1130, and probably soon afterwards in England. About 1130 the king granted him Borough of Great Bedwyn, Wiltshire, which consisted of the tenements of 25 burgesses, and the lordship in demesne of Stock, Wexcombe, and Wilton and of what became West Bedwyn and Little Bedwyn manors. In 1137 he accompanied King Stephen on his expedition to Normandy. He took possession and fortified the Castles of Ludgershall and Marlborough, Wiltshire in 1138. In 1140 he held Marlborough, Wiltshire for King Stephen, and captured Robert Fitz Hubert who had taken the royal castle of Devizes. About 1141 he repudiated his wife, Aline; she subsequently married Stephen de Gay.* He married (2nd) SIBYL OF SALISBURY, daughter of Walter of Salisbury (also known as Walter Fitz Edward), of Chitterne, Wiltshire, Great Gaddesden, Hertfordshire, North Aston, Oxfordshire, etc., hereditary Sheriff of Wiltshire, by Sibyl, daughter of Patrick de Chaources (or Sourches) [see LONGESPÉE 2 for her ancestry]. Her maritagium included the manor of Mildenhall, Wiltshire. They had four sons, John [Marshal of England], William, Knt. [3rd Earl of Pembroke and Strigull, Lord of Leinster, Marshal of England], Anselm, and Henry [Archdeacon of Stafford, Dean of York, Bishop of Exeter], and two daughters, Maud and ___. He deserted to the Empress in 1141 and supported the Angevin cause thenceforth until 1154. He witnessed at least four charters of the Empress, and there are two writs addressed to him in Wiltshire by her. He also witnessed five charters of Duke Henry in Normandy. In 1141 he was cut off and surrounded in Wherwell Abbey, Hampshire, but escaped with the loss of an eye and other wounds. In 1142 he was with the Empress at Oxford, and two years later at Devizes. In 1144 he was raiding the surrounding country from Marlborough Castle and oppressing the clergy. He was with Maud's son, Henry, at Devizes in 1149 and 1153. In 1152 Newbury Castle was defended by his constable against King Stephen. On the accession of King Henry II in 1154, he was granted Marlbrough Castle and manors of Cherhill and Wexcombe, Wiltshire by the king. In 1155-6 he granted to the Templars all his land at Temple Rockley, Wiltshire which he held of his brother-in-law, Patrick, Earl of Salisbury free and clear of secular service. He had to surrender Marlborough Castle to the king in 1158. He is probably the "John Fitz Gilbert" who witnessed a charter of William de Chesney dated c.1159-63. He was present at the Council of Clarendon in 1164; soon afterwards he sued Thomas Becket for part of his manor of Pagham, Sussex. He was a benefactor of Troarn Abbey, to which he gave land and a house in Winchester, Hampshire. JOHN FITZ GILBERT died shortly before Michaelmas 1165. His wife, Sibyl, died 3 June, year unknown. In 1175-6 part of a fine due to the crown from his heirs was remitted in reimbursements for repairs done to Marlborough Castle. (* Note: Aline Pipard and her 2nd husband, Stephen de Gay, were the parents of Philip de Gay, of Northbrook (in Kirklinton), Oxfordshire, and Wootton Basset, Broadtown (in Cliffe Pipard), and Compton Basset, Wiltshire. He married Cecily ___. They had two daughters, Cecily and Aline (wife of Alan Basset, Knt.). Philip de Gay died shortly before 3 July 1190, when the king made a division of his lands between his two daughters. His widow, Cecily, was in the king's gift in 1194-5.

This was his son and successor, the third baron, who married Mahaut de Pont de l'Arche and died in 1227, when he was succeeded by his son David, the fourth baron. The third baron is often called simply William baron of Naas', and hence the confusion with his father; but in several documents his patronymic appears, for example, as the grantee in two charters calendared in this volume (p. 154) and ascribed to c.1205. One of these is transcribed (p. 200), and the Latin is free from any possible ambiguity: Willelmo filio Villelmi baroni del Nas.

They had six sons, William [1st of name] (lord of Tullaroan, Governor of Kilkenny, Constable and Seneschal of Leinster, died before 1242), Robert (died before 1219), William [2nd of name] (died before 1242), Hamon (of Dormston, Worcestershire), Anselm [Bishop of St. David's], and possibly Richard [monk at Westminster], and one daughter, Margaret (or Margery). In 1194 he faced the seizure of his rents and chattels at Sodbury, Gloucestershire presumably as a result of his support for the rebellion led in that year by the king's brother John [future King John]. The king's officials collected £11 as a year's rent from Sodbury, with William's confiscated stock, corn and perquisites there being valued at more than £20. About 1200 he issued a charter for Saint-Evroul concerning Soulangy and promised to respect `antiquas consuetudines' at `Alnetum.' In 1203-4 the Abbess of Caen fined to have the peace of William le Gras, Seneschal of Normandy, and Louvrecaire and for restitution of her lands and men whom mercenaries had seized. Late in 1203 King John fled Normandy for England. He was joined there shortly afterwards by William le Gras, his steward, and by a large number of William's sons and relations. Following his departure from Normandy, there were some 22 separate complaints against William in which he was accused of extorting lands or rights while he was seneschal. In 1204 the king ordered the sheriff of Somerset that, if the manor of Newton St Loe, late of Robert de Saint-Lo, was in the king's hands, then to deliver it to William Crassus; if the manor was not in the king's hands, then it was to be seized and seisin delivered to William.

A generation later he was remembered with loathing in the region around Falaise for using his power as seneschal to extort lands from his neighbours; hence the king of France confiscated the lands of William le Gras as he marched through this district in 1204, and loudly excluded him from his amnesty to the Normans.").

He married (1st) before 1130 ALINE PIPARD, daughter and heiress of Walter Pipard. They had two sons, Gilbert and Walter. In 1130 he accounted for his father's lands, and for the land and daughter of Walter Pipard. He was a loyal and trusted royal official and attested to at least twelve acts of King Henry I between 1129-35. He was with King Henry I in Normandy in 1130, and probably soon afterwards in England. About 1130 the king granted him Borough of Great Bedwyn, Wiltshire, which consisted of the tenements of 25 burgesses, and the lordship in demesne of Stock, Wexcombe, and Wilton and of what became West Bedwyn and Little Bedwyn manors. In 1137 he accompanied King Stephen on his expedition to Normandy. He took possession and fortified the Castles of Ludgershall and Marlborough, Wiltshire in 1138. In 1140 he held Marlborough, Wiltshire for King Stephen, and captured Robert Fitz Hubert who had taken the royal castle of Devizes. About 1141 he repudiated his wife, Aline; she subsequently married Stephen de Gay.* He married (2nd) SIBYL OF SALISBURY, daughter of Walter of Salisbury (also known as Walter Fitz Edward), of Chitterne, Wiltshire, Great Gaddesden, Hertfordshire, North Aston, Oxfordshire, etc., hereditary Sheriff of Wiltshire, by Sibyl, daughter of Patrick de Chaources (or Sourches) [see LONGESPÉE 2 for her ancestry]. Her maritagium included the manor of Mildenhall, Wiltshire. They had four sons, John [Marshal of England], William, Knt. [3rd Earl of Pembroke and Strigull, Lord of Leinster, Marshal of England], Anselm, and Henry [Archdeacon of Stafford, Dean of York, Bishop of Exeter], and two daughters, Maud and ___. He deserted to the Empress in 1141 and supported the Angevin cause thenceforth until 1154. He witnessed at least four charters of the Empress, and there are two writs addressed to him in Wiltshire by her. He also witnessed five charters of Duke Henry in Normandy. In 1141 he was cut off and surrounded in Wherwell Abbey, Hampshire, but escaped with the loss of an eye and other wounds. In 1142 he was with the Empress at Oxford, and two years later at Devizes. In 1144 he was raiding the surrounding country from Marlborough Castle and oppressing the clergy. He was with Maud's son, Henry, at Devizes in 1149 and 1153. In 1152 Newbury Castle was defended by his constable against King Stephen. On the accession of King Henry II in 1154, he was granted Marlbrough Castle and manors of Cherhill and Wexcombe, Wiltshire by the king. In 1155-6 he granted to the Templars all his land at Temple Rockley, Wiltshire which he held of his brother-in-law, Patrick, Earl of Salisbury free and clear of secular service. He had to surrender Marlborough Castle to the king in 1158. He is probably the "John Fitz Gilbert" who witnessed a charter of William de Chesney dated c.1159-63. He was present at the Council of Clarendon in 1164; soon afterwards he sued Thomas Becket for part of his manor of Pagham, Sussex. He was a benefactor of Troarn Abbey, to which he gave land and a house in Winchester, Hampshire. JOHN FITZ GILBERT died shortly before Michaelmas 1165. His wife, Sibyl, died 3 June, year unknown. In 1175-6 part of a fine due to the crown from his heirs was remitted in reimbursements for repairs done to Marlborough Castle. (* Note: Aline Pipard and her 2nd husband, Stephen de Gay, were the parents of Philip de Gay, of Northbrook (in Kirklinton), Oxfordshire, and Wootton Basset, Broadtown (in Cliffe Pipard), and Compton Basset, Wiltshire. He married Cecily ___. They had two daughters, Cecily and Aline (wife of Alan Basset, Knt.). Philip de Gay died shortly before 3 July 1190, when the king made a division of his lands between his two daughters. His widow, Cecily, was in the king's gift in 1194-5.

This was his son and successor, the third baron, who married Mahaut de Pont de l'Arche and died in 1227, when he was succeeded by his son David, the fourth baron. The third baron is often called simply William baron of Naas', and hence the confusion with his father; but in several documents his patronymic appears, for example, as the grantee in two charters calendared in this volume (p. 154) and ascribed to c.1205. One of these is transcribed (p. 200), and the Latin is free from any possible ambiguity: Willelmo filio Villelmi baroni del Nas.

They had six sons, William [1st of name] (lord of Tullaroan, Governor of Kilkenny, Constable and Seneschal of Leinster, died before 1242), Robert (died before 1219), William [2nd of name] (died before 1242), Hamon (of Dormston, Worcestershire), Anselm [Bishop of St. David's], and possibly Richard [monk at Westminster], and one daughter, Margaret (or Margery). In 1194 he faced the seizure of his rents and chattels at Sodbury, Gloucestershire presumably as a result of his support for the rebellion led in that year by the king's brother John [future King John]. The king's officials collected £11 as a year's rent from Sodbury, with William's confiscated stock, corn and perquisites there being valued at more than £20. About 1200 he issued a charter for Saint-Evroul concerning Soulangy and promised to respect `antiquas consuetudines' at `Alnetum.' In 1203-4 the Abbess of Caen fined to have the peace of William le Gras, Seneschal of Normandy, and Louvrecaire and for restitution of her lands and men whom mercenaries had seized. Late in 1203 King John fled Normandy for England. He was joined there shortly afterwards by William le Gras, his steward, and by a large number of William's sons and relations. Following his departure from Normandy, there were some 22 separate complaints against William in which he was accused of extorting lands or rights while he was seneschal. In 1204 the king ordered the sheriff of Somerset that, if the manor of Newton St Loe, late of Robert de Saint-Lo, was in the king's hands, then to deliver it to William Crassus; if the manor was not in the king's hands, then it was to be seized and seisin delivered to William. Sometime before 1215 Juliane Ponte de l'Arche, wife of Robert de Berkeley, granted to Southwick Priory the tenement, held by free burgage tenure, which William Crassus [le Gras] sold to her in his great need, together with all his houses and a small messuage near the norwthwest corner of the cemetery of the church of St. Mary at Berkeley, Gloucestershire.

He married (1st) before 1130 ALINE PIPARD, daughter and heiress of Walter Pipard. They had two sons, Gilbert and Walter. In 1130 he accounted for his father's lands, and for the land and daughter of Walter Pipard. He was a loyal and trusted royal official and attested to at least twelve acts of King Henry I between 1129-35. He was with King Henry I in Normandy in 1130, and probably soon afterwards in England. About 1130 the king granted him Borough of Great Bedwyn, Wiltshire, which consisted of the tenements of 25 burgesses, and the lordship in demesne of Stock, Wexcombe, and Wilton and of what became West Bedwyn and Little Bedwyn manors. In 1137 he accompanied King Stephen on his expedition to Normandy. He took possession and fortified the Castles of Ludgershall and Marlborough, Wiltshire in 1138. In 1140 he held Marlborough, Wiltshire for King Stephen, and captured Robert Fitz Hubert who had taken the royal castle of Devizes. About 1141 he repudiated his wife, Aline; she subsequently married Stephen de Gay.* He married (2nd) SIBYL OF SALISBURY, daughter of Walter of Salisbury (also known as Walter Fitz Edward), of Chitterne, Wiltshire, Great Gaddesden, Hertfordshire, North Aston, Oxfordshire, etc., hereditary Sheriff of Wiltshire, by Sibyl, daughter of Patrick de Chaources (or Sourches) [see LONGESPÉE 2 for her ancestry]. Her maritagium included the manor of Mildenhall, Wiltshire. They had four sons, John [Marshal of England], William, Knt. [3rd Earl of Pembroke and Strigull, Lord of Leinster, Marshal of England], Anselm, and Henry [Archdeacon of Stafford, Dean of York, Bishop of Exeter], and two daughters, Maud and ___. He deserted to the Empress in 1141 and supported the Angevin cause thenceforth until 1154. He witnessed at least four charters of the Empress, and there are two writs addressed to him in Wiltshire by her. He also witnessed five charters of Duke Henry in Normandy. In 1141 he was cut off and surrounded in Wherwell Abbey, Hampshire, but escaped with the loss of an eye and other wounds. In 1142 he was with the Empress at Oxford, and two years later at Devizes. In 1144 he was raiding the surrounding country from Marlborough Castle and oppressing the clergy. He was with Maud's son, Henry, at Devizes in 1149 and 1153. In 1152 Newbury Castle was defended by his constable against King Stephen. On the accession of King Henry II in 1154, he was granted Marlbrough Castle and manors of Cherhill and Wexcombe, Wiltshire by the king. In 1155-6 he granted to the Templars all his land at Temple Rockley, Wiltshire which he held of his brother-in-law, Patrick, Earl of Salisbury free and clear of secular service. He had to surrender Marlborough Castle to the king in 1158. He is probably the "John Fitz Gilbert" who witnessed a charter of William de Chesney dated c.1159-63. He was present at the Council of Clarendon in 1164; soon afterwards he sued Thomas Becket for part of his manor of Pagham, Sussex. He was a benefactor of Troarn Abbey, to which he gave land and a house in Winchester, Hampshire. JOHN FITZ GILBERT died shortly before Michaelmas 1165. His wife, Sibyl, died 3 June, year unknown. In 1175-6 part of a fine due to the crown from his heirs was remitted in reimbursements for repairs done to Marlborough Castle. (* Note: Aline Pipard and her 2nd husband, Stephen de Gay, were the parents of Philip de Gay, of Northbrook (in Kirklinton), Oxfordshire, and Wootton Basset, Broadtown (in Cliffe Pipard), and Compton Basset, Wiltshire.

This was his son and successor, the third baron, who married Mahaut de Pont de l'Arche and died in 1227, when he was succeeded by his son David, the fourth baron. The third baron is often called simply William baron of Naas', and hence the confusion with his father; but in several documents his patronymic appears, for example, as the grantee in two charters calendared in this volume (p. 154) and ascribed to c.1205. One of these is transcribed (p. 200), and the Latin is free from any possible ambiguity: Willelmo filio Villelmi baroni del Nas.

They had six sons, William [1st of name] (lord of Tullaroan, Governor of Kilkenny, Constable and Seneschal of Leinster, died before 1242), Robert (died before 1219), William [2nd of name] (died before 1242), Hamon (of Dormston, Worcestershire), Anselm [Bishop of St. David's], and possibly Richard [monk at Westminster], and one daughter, Margaret (or Margery). In 1194 he faced the seizure of his rents and chattels at Sodbury, Gloucestershire presumably as a result of his support for the rebellion led in that year by the king's brother John [future King John]. The king's officials collected £11 as a year's rent from Sodbury, with William's confiscated stock, corn and perquisites there being valued at more than £20. About 1200 he issued a charter for Saint-Evroul concerning Soulangy and promised to respect `antiquas consuetudines' at `Alnetum.' In 1203-4 the Abbess of Caen fined to have the peace of William le Gras, Seneschal of Normandy, and Louvrecaire and for restitution of her lands and men whom mercenaries had seized. Late in 1203 King John fled Normandy for England. He was joined there shortly afterwards by William le Gras, his steward, and by a large number of William's sons and relations. Following his departure from Normandy, there were some 22 separate complaints against William in which he was accused of extorting lands or rights while he was seneschal. In 1204 the king ordered the sheriff of Somerset that, if the manor of Newton St Loe, late of Robert de Saint-Lo, was in the king's hands, then to deliver it to William Crassus; if the manor was not in the king's hands, then it was to be seized and seisin delivered to William. Sometime before 1215 Juliane Ponte de l'Arche, wife of Robert de Berkeley, granted to Southwick Priory the tenement, held by free burgage tenure, which William Crassus [le Gras] sold to her in his great need, together with all his houses and a small messuage near the norwthwest corner of the cemetery of the church of St. Mary at Berkeley, Gloucestershire.

A generation later he was remembered with loathing in the region around Falaise for using his power as seneschal to extort lands from his neighbours; hence the king of France confiscated the lands of William le Gras as he marched through this district in 1204, and loudly excluded him from his amnesty to the Normans.").

He married (1st) before 1130 ALINE PIPARD, daughter and heiress of Walter Pipard. They had two sons, Gilbert and Walter. In 1130 he accounted for his father's lands, and for the land and daughter of Walter Pipard. He was a loyal and trusted royal official and attested to at least twelve acts of King Henry I between 1129-35. He was with King Henry I in Normandy in 1130, and probably soon afterwards in England. About 1130 the king granted him Borough of Great Bedwyn, Wiltshire, which consisted of the tenements of 25 burgesses, and the lordship in demesne of Stock, Wexcombe, and Wilton and of what became West Bedwyn and Little Bedwyn manors. In 1137 he accompanied King Stephen on his expedition to Normandy. He took possession and fortified the Castles of Ludgershall and Marlborough, Wiltshire in 1138. In 1140 he held Marlborough, Wiltshire for King Stephen, and captured Robert Fitz Hubert who had taken the royal castle of Devizes. About 1141 he repudiated his wife, Aline; she subsequently married Stephen de Gay.* He married (2nd) SIBYL OF SALISBURY, daughter of Walter of Salisbury (also known as Walter Fitz Edward), of Chitterne, Wiltshire, Great Gaddesden, Hertfordshire, North Aston, Oxfordshire, etc., hereditary Sheriff of Wiltshire, by Sibyl, daughter of Patrick de Chaources (or Sourches) [see LONGESPÉE 2 for her ancestry]. Her maritagium included the manor of Mildenhall, Wiltshire. They had four sons, John [Marshal of England], William, Knt. [3rd Earl of Pembroke and Strigull, Lord of Leinster, Marshal of England], Anselm, and Henry [Archdeacon of Stafford, Dean of York, Bishop of Exeter], and two daughters, Maud and ___. He deserted to the Empress in 1141 and supported the Angevin cause thenceforth until 1154. He witnessed at least four charters of the Empress, and there are two writs addressed to him in Wiltshire by her. He also witnessed five charters of Duke Henry in Normandy. In 1141 he was cut off and surrounded in Wherwell Abbey, Hampshire, but escaped with the loss of an eye and other wounds. In 1142 he was with the Empress at Oxford, and two years later at Devizes. In 1144 he was raiding the surrounding country from Marlborough Castle and oppressing the clergy. He was with Maud's son, Henry, at Devizes in 1149 and 1153. In 1152 Newbury Castle was defended by his constable against King Stephen. On the accession of King Henry II in 1154, he was granted Marlbrough Castle and manors of Cherhill and Wexcombe, Wiltshire by the king. In 1155-6 he granted to the Templars all his land at Temple Rockley, Wiltshire which he held of his brother-in-law, Patrick, Earl of Salisbury free and clear of secular service. He had to surrender Marlborough Castle to the king in 1158. He is probably the "John Fitz Gilbert" who witnessed a charter of William de Chesney dated c.1159-63. He was present at the Council of Clarendon in 1164; soon afterwards he sued Thomas Becket for part of his manor of Pagham, Sussex. He was a benefactor of Troarn Abbey, to which he gave land and a house in Winchester, Hampshire. JOHN FITZ GILBERT died shortly before Michaelmas 1165. His wife, Sibyl, died 3 June, year unknown. In 1175-6 part of a fine due to the crown from his heirs was remitted in reimbursements for repairs done to Marlborough Castle. (* Note: Aline Pipard and her 2nd husband, Stephen de Gay, were the parents of Philip de Gay, of Northbrook (in Kirklinton), Oxfordshire, and Wootton Basset, Broadtown (in Cliffe Pipard), and Compton Basset, Wiltshire. He married Cecily ___. They had two daughters, Cecily and Aline (wife of Alan Basset, Knt.). Philip de Gay died shortly before 3 July 1190, when the king made a division of his lands between his two daughters. His widow, Cecily, was in the king's gift in 1194-5.

He was appointed custodian and receiver of all escheats in England. He was acting as a judge in cos. Oxford and Berks in 1192. JOHN MARSHAL was killed in March 1194, while defending Marlborough Castle, Wiltshire for John, Count of Mortain [afterwards King John]. His corpse was brought to Cirencester, Gloucestershire, where there was a funeral service in the church. The body was subsequently buried in Bradenstoke Priory, Wiltshire.

They had no issue. In 1191 he paid £1000 to have livery of his inheritance. Sometime in the period, c.1191-1215, he granted Southwick Priory 2s. rent a year from a messuage and land in Berkeley, Gloucestershire for the improvement of the lighting of the Southwick church. He sided with the rebellious Barons against King John and was pardoned in 1214. He again rebelled and was excommunicated. His lands were restored in 1216-17 on payment of a fine of £966, excepting Berkeley. Sometime before 1215 his wife, Juliane, granted to Southwick Priory the tenement, held by free burgage tenure, which William Crassus [le Gras] sold to her in his great need, together with all his houses and a small messuage near the norwthwest corner of the cemetery of the church of St. Mary at Berkeley, Gloucestershire. His wife, Juliane, died 15 Nov. 1217, and was buried at St. Augustine's, Bristol. He married (2nd) in 1218 LUCY ___, kinswoman [neptis] of William Longespée, Earl of Salisbury. They had no issue. SIR ROBERT DE BERKELEY died 13 May 1220, and was buried at St. Augustine's, Bristol. His widow, Lucy, married (2nd) before 1222 (as his la wife) HUGH DE GOURNAY, of Wendover, Buckinghamshire, Caister and Cantley, Norfolk, Mapledurham, Oxfordshire, etc. [see GOURNAY 5]. They had no issue. He joined the barons against King John. In 1216 his manor of Wendover was granted to William de Fiennes, and in 1218 his lands in Lincolnshire to William de Cantelowe. His lands were restored 2 May 1222 (excepting Wendover). In 1223 the king ordered his lands in cos. Gloucester, Warwick, and Leicester be taken for attending a tournament without leave at Blyth, Nottinghamshire. The same year he lost all his land in the jurisdiction of the Constable of Bristol for hunting in the royal forest without leave. He fought against the Welsh in 1228 and in Brittany in 1234. His wife, Lucy, died 18 January 1234, and was buried at St. Augustine's. HUGH DE GOURNAY died shortly before 23 July 1238, and was buried at Langley Abbey, Norfolk.

This was his son and successor, the third baron, who married Mahaut de Pont de l'Arche and died in 1227, when he was succeeded by his son David, the fourth baron. The third baron is often called simply William baron of Naas', and hence the confusion with his father; but in several documents his patronymic appears, for example, as the grantee in two charters calendared in this volume (p. 154) and ascribed to c.1205. One of these is transcribed (p. 200), and the Latin is free from any possible ambiguity: Willelmo filio Villelmi baroni del Nas.

They had six sons, William [1st of name] (lord of Tullaroan, Governor of Kilkenny, Constable and Seneschal of Leinster, died before 1242), Robert (died before 1219), William [2nd of name] (died before 1242), Hamon (of Dormston, Worcestershire), Anselm [Bishop of St. David's], and possibly Richard [monk at Westminster], and one daughter, Margaret (or Margery). In 1194 he faced the seizure of his rents and chattels at Sodbury, Gloucestershire presumably as a result of his support for the rebellion led in that year by the king's brother John [future King John]. The king's officials collected £11 as a year's rent from Sodbury, with William's confiscated stock, corn and perquisites there being valued at more than £20. About 1200 he issued a charter for Saint-Evroul concerning Soulangy and promised to respect `antiquas consuetudines' at `Alnetum.' In 1203-4 the Abbess of Caen fined to have the peace of William le Gras, Seneschal of Normandy, and Louvrecaire and for restitution of her lands and men whom mercenaries had seized. Late in 1203 King John fled Normandy for England. He was joined there shortly afterwards by William le Gras, his steward, and by a large number of William's sons and relations. Following his departure from Normandy, there were some 22 separate complaints against William in which he was accused of extorting lands or rights while he was seneschal. In 1204 the king ordered the sheriff of Somerset that, if the manor of Newton St Loe, late of Robert de Saint-Lo, was in the king's hands, then to deliver it to William Crassus; if the manor was not in the king's hands, then it was to be seized and seisin delivered to William. Sometime before 1215 Juliane Ponte de l'Arche, wife of Robert de Berkeley, granted to Southwick Priory the tenement, held by free burgage tenure, which William Crassus [le Gras] sold to her in his great need, together with all his houses and a small messuage near the norwthwest corner of the cemetery of the church of St. Mary at Berkeley, Gloucestershire.

He married (1st) before 1130 ALINE PIPARD, daughter and heiress of Walter Pipard. They had two sons, Gilbert and Walter. In 1130 he accounted for his father's lands, and for the land and daughter of Walter Pipard. He was a loyal and trusted royal official and attested to at least twelve acts of King Henry I between 1129-35. He was with King Henry I in Normandy in 1130, and probably soon afterwards in England. About 1130 the king granted him Borough of Great Bedwyn, Wiltshire, which consisted of the tenements of 25 burgesses, and the lordship in demesne of Stock, Wexcombe, and Wilton and of what became West Bedwyn and Little Bedwyn manors. In 1137 he accompanied King Stephen on his expedition to Normandy. He took possession and fortified the Castles of Ludgershall and Marlborough, Wiltshire in 1138. In 1140 he held Marlborough, Wiltshire for King Stephen, and captured Robert Fitz Hubert who had taken the royal castle of Devizes. About 1141 he repudiated his wife, Aline; she subsequently married Stephen de Gay.* He married (2nd) SIBYL OF SALISBURY, daughter of Walter of Salisbury (also known as Walter Fitz Edward), of Chitterne, Wiltshire, Great Gaddesden, Hertfordshire, North Aston, Oxfordshire, etc., hereditary Sheriff of Wiltshire, by Sibyl, daughter of Patrick de Chaources (or Sourches) [see LONGESPÉE 2 for her ancestry]. Her maritagium included the manor of Mildenhall, Wiltshire. They had four sons, John [Marshal of England], William, Knt. [3rd Earl of Pembroke and Strigull, Lord of Leinster, Marshal of England], Anselm, and Henry [Archdeacon of Stafford, Dean of York, Bishop of Exeter], and two daughters, Maud and ___. He deserted to the Empress in 1141 and supported the Angevin cause thenceforth until 1154. He witnessed at least four charters of the Empress, and there are two writs addressed to him in Wiltshire by her. He also witnessed five charters of Duke Henry in Normandy. In 1141 he was cut off and surrounded in Wherwell Abbey, Hampshire, but escaped with the loss of an eye and other wounds. In 1142 he was with the Empress at Oxford, and two years later at Devizes. In 1144 he was raiding the surrounding country from Marlborough Castle and oppressing the clergy. He was with Maud's son, Henry, at Devizes in 1149 and 1153. In 1152 Newbury Castle was defended by his constable against King Stephen. On the accession of King Henry II in 1154, he was granted Marlbrough Castle and manors of Cherhill and Wexcombe, Wiltshire by the king. In 1155-6 he granted to the Templars all his land at Temple Rockley, Wiltshire which he held of his brother-in-law, Patrick, Earl of Salisbury free and clear of secular service. He had to surrender Marlborough Castle to the king in 1158. He is probably the "John Fitz Gilbert" who witnessed a charter of William de Chesney dated c.1159-63. He was present at the Council of Clarendon in 1164; soon afterwards he sued Thomas Becket for part of his manor of Pagham, Sussex. He was a benefactor of Troarn Abbey, to which he gave land and a house in Winchester, Hampshire. JOHN FITZ GILBERT died shortly before Michaelmas 1165. His wife, Sibyl, died 3 June, year unknown. In 1175-6 part of a fine due to the crown from his heirs was remitted in reimbursements for repairs done to Marlborough Castle. (* Note: Aline Pipard and her 2nd husband, Stephen de Gay, were the parents of Philip de Gay, of Northbrook (in Kirklinton), Oxfordshire, and Wootton Basset, Broadtown (in Cliffe Pipard), and Compton Basset, Wiltshire. He married Cecily ___. They had two daughters, Cecily and Aline (wife of Alan Basset, Knt.). Philip de Gay died shortly before 3 July 1190, when the king made a division of his lands between his two daughters. His widow, Cecily, was in the king's gift in 1194-5.

This was his son and successor, the third baron, who married Mahaut de Pont de l'Arche and died in 1227, when he was succeeded by his son David, the fourth baron. The third baron is often called simply William baron of Naas', and hence the confusion with his father; but in several documents his patronymic appears, for example, as the grantee in two charters calendared in this volume (p. 154) and ascribed to c.1205. One of these is transcribed (p. 200), and the Latin is free from any possible ambiguity: Willelmo filio Villelmi baroni del Nas.

They had six sons, William [1st of name] (lord of Tullaroan, Governor of Kilkenny, Constable and Seneschal of Leinster, died before 1242), Robert (died before 1219), William [2nd of name] (died before 1242), Hamon (of Dormston, Worcestershire), Anselm [Bishop of St. David's], and possibly Richard [monk at Westminster], and one daughter, Margaret (or Margery). In 1194 he faced the seizure of his rents and chattels at Sodbury, Gloucestershire presumably as a result of his support for the rebellion led in that year by the king's brother John [future King John]. The king's officials collected £11 as a year's rent from Sodbury, with William's confiscated stock, corn and perquisites there being valued at more than £20. About 1200 he issued a charter for Saint-Evroul concerning Soulangy and promised to respect `antiquas consuetudines' at `Alnetum.' In 1203-4 the Abbess of Caen fined to have the peace of William le Gras, Seneschal of Normandy, and Louvrecaire and for restitution of her lands and men whom mercenaries had seized. Late in 1203 King John fled Normandy for England. He was joined there shortly afterwards by William le Gras, his steward, and by a large number of William's sons and relations. Following his departure from Normandy, there were some 22 separate complaints against William in which he was accused of extorting lands or rights while he was seneschal. In 1204 the king ordered the sheriff of Somerset that, if the manor of Newton St Loe, late of Robert de Saint-Lo, was in the king's hands, then to deliver it to William Crassus; if the manor was not in the king's hands, then it was to be seized and seisin delivered to William. Sometime before 1215 Juliane Ponte de l'Arche, wife of Robert de Berkeley, granted to Southwick Priory the tenement, held by free burgage tenure, which William Crassus [le Gras] sold to her in his great need, together with all his houses and a small messuage near the norwthwest corner of the cemetery of the church of St. Mary at Berkeley, Gloucestershire.

A generation later he was remembered with loathing in the region around Falaise for using his power as seneschal to extort lands from his neighbours; hence the king of France confiscated the lands of William le Gras as he marched through this district in 1204, and loudly excluded him from his amnesty to the Normans.").

He married (1st) before 1130 ALINE PIPARD, daughter and heiress of Walter Pipard. They had two sons, Gilbert and Walter. In 1130 he accounted for his father's lands, and for the land and daughter of Walter Pipard. He was a loyal and trusted royal official and attested to at least twelve acts of King Henry I between 1129-35. He was with King Henry I in Normandy in 1130, and probably soon afterwards in England. About 1130 the king granted him Borough of Great Bedwyn, Wiltshire, which consisted of the tenements of 25 burgesses, and the lordship in demesne of Stock, Wexcombe, and Wilton and of what became West Bedwyn and Little Bedwyn manors. In 1137 he accompanied King Stephen on his expedition to Normandy. He took possession and fortified the Castles of Ludgershall and Marlborough, Wiltshire in 1138. In 1140 he held Marlborough, Wiltshire for King Stephen, and captured Robert Fitz Hubert who had taken the royal castle of Devizes. About 1141 he repudiated his wife, Aline; she subsequently married Stephen de Gay.* He married (2nd) SIBYL OF SALISBURY, daughter of Walter of Salisbury (also known as Walter Fitz Edward), of Chitterne, Wiltshire, Great Gaddesden, Hertfordshire, North Aston, Oxfordshire, etc., hereditary Sheriff of Wiltshire, by Sibyl, daughter of Patrick de Chaources (or Sourches) [see LONGESPÉE 2 for her ancestry]. Her maritagium included the manor of Mildenhall, Wiltshire. They had four sons, John [Marshal of England], William, Knt. [3rd Earl of Pembroke and Strigull, Lord of Leinster, Marshal of England], Anselm, and Henry [Archdeacon of Stafford, Dean of York, Bishop of Exeter], and two daughters, Maud and ___. He deserted to the Empress in 1141 and supported the Angevin cause thenceforth until 1154. He witnessed at least four charters of the Empress, and there are two writs addressed to him in Wiltshire by her. He also witnessed five charters of Duke Henry in Normandy. In 1141 he was cut off and surrounded in Wherwell Abbey, Hampshire, but escaped with the loss of an eye and other wounds. In 1142 he was with the Empress at Oxford, and two years later at Devizes. In 1144 he was raiding the surrounding country from Marlborough Castle and oppressing the clergy. He was with Maud's son, Henry, at Devizes in 1149 and 1153. In 1152 Newbury Castle was defended by his constable against King Stephen. On the accession of King Henry II in 1154, he was granted Marlbrough Castle and manors of Cherhill and Wexcombe, Wiltshire by the king. In 1155-6 he granted to the Templars all his land at Temple Rockley, Wiltshire which he held of his brother-in-law, Patrick, Earl of Salisbury free and clear of secular service. He had to surrender Marlborough Castle to the king in 1158. He is probably the "John Fitz Gilbert" who witnessed a charter of William de Chesney dated c.1159-63. He was present at the Council of Clarendon in 1164; soon afterwards he sued Thomas Becket for part of his manor of Pagham, Sussex. He was a benefactor of Troarn Abbey, to which he gave land and a house in Winchester, Hampshire. JOHN FITZ GILBERT died shortly before Michaelmas 1165. His wife, Sibyl, died 3 June, year unknown. In 1175-6 part of a fine due to the crown from his heirs was remitted in reimbursements for repairs done to Marlborough Castle.

This was his son and successor, the third baron, who married Mahaut de Pont de l'Arche and died in 1227, when he was succeeded by his son David, the fourth baron. The third baron is often called simply William baron of Naas', and hence the confusion with his father; but in several documents his patronymic appears, for example, as the grantee in two charters calendared in this volume (p. 154) and ascribed to c.1205. One of these is transcribed (p. 200), and the Latin is free from any possible ambiguity: Willelmo filio Villelmi baroni del Nas.

They had six sons, William [1st of name] (lord of Tullaroan, Governor of Kilkenny, Constable and Seneschal of Leinster, died before 1242), Robert (died before 1219), William [2nd of name] (died before 1242), Hamon (of Dormston, Worcestershire), Anselm [Bishop of St. David's], and possibly Richard [monk at Westminster], and one daughter, Margaret (or Margery). In 1194 he faced the seizure of his rents and chattels at Sodbury, Gloucestershire presumably as a result of his support for the rebellion led in that year by the king's brother John [future King John]. The king's officials collected £11 as a year's rent from Sodbury, with William's confiscated stock, corn and perquisites there being valued at more than £20. About 1200 he issued a charter for Saint-Evroul concerning Soulangy and promised to respect `antiquas consuetudines' at `Alnetum.' In 1203-4 the Abbess of Caen fined to have the peace of William le Gras, Seneschal of Normandy, and Louvrecaire and for restitution of her lands and men whom mercenaries had seized. Late in 1203 King John fled Normandy for England. He was joined there shortly afterwards by William le Gras, his steward, and by a large number of William's sons and relations. Following his departure from Normandy, there were some 22 separate complaints against William in which he was accused of extorting lands or rights while he was seneschal. In 1204 the king ordered the sheriff of Somerset that, if the manor of Newton St Loe, late of Robert de Saint-Lo, was in the king's hands, then to deliver it to William Crassus; if the manor was not in the king's hands, then it was to be seized and seisin delivered to William. Sometime before 1215 Juliane Ponte de l'Arche, wife of Robert de Berkeley, granted to Southwick Priory the tenement, held by free burgage tenure, which William Crassus [le Gras] sold to her in his great need, together with all his houses and a small messuage near the norwthwest corner of the cemetery of the church of St. Mary at Berkeley, Gloucestershire.

A generation later he was remembered with loathing in the region around Falaise for using his power as seneschal to extort lands from his neighbours; hence the king of France confiscated the lands of William le Gras as he marched through this district in 1204, and loudly excluded him from his amnesty to the Normans.").

He married (1st) before 1130 ALINE PIPARD, daughter and heiress of Walter Pipard. They had two sons, Gilbert and Walter. In 1130 he accounted for his father's lands, and for the land and daughter of Walter Pipard. He was a loyal and trusted royal official and attested to at least twelve acts of King Henry I between 1129-35. He was with King Henry I in Normandy in 1130, and probably soon afterwards in England. About 1130 the king granted him Borough of Great Bedwyn, Wiltshire, which consisted of the tenements of 25 burgesses, and the lordship in demesne of Stock, Wexcombe, and Wilton and of what became West Bedwyn and Little Bedwyn manors. In 1137 he accompanied King Stephen on his expedition to Normandy. He took possession and fortified the Castles of Ludgershall and Marlborough, Wiltshire in 1138. In 1140 he held Marlborough, Wiltshire for King Stephen, and captured Robert Fitz Hubert who had taken the royal castle of Devizes. About 1141 he repudiated his wife, Aline; she subsequently married Stephen de Gay.* He married (2nd) SIBYL OF SALISBURY, daughter of Walter of Salisbury (also known as Walter Fitz Edward), of Chitterne, Wiltshire, Great Gaddesden, Hertfordshire, North Aston, Oxfordshire, etc., hereditary Sheriff of Wiltshire, by Sibyl, daughter of Patrick de Chaources (or Sourches) [see LONGESPÉE 2 for her ancestry]. Her maritagium included the manor of Mildenhall, Wiltshire. They had four sons, John [Marshal of England], William, Knt. [3rd Earl of Pembroke and Strigull, Lord of Leinster, Marshal of England], Anselm, and Henry [Archdeacon of Stafford, Dean of York, Bishop of Exeter], and two daughters, Maud and ___. He deserted to the Empress in 1141 and supported the Angevin cause thenceforth until 1154. He witnessed at least four charters of the Empress, and there are two writs addressed to him in Wiltshire by her. He also witnessed five charters of Duke Henry in Normandy. In 1141 he was cut off and surrounded in Wherwell Abbey, Hampshire, but escaped with the loss of an eye and other wounds. In 1142 he was with the Empress at Oxford, and two years later at Devizes. In 1144 he was raiding the surrounding country from Marlborough Castle and oppressing the clergy. He was with Maud's son, Henry, at Devizes in 1149 and 1153. In 1152 Newbury Castle was defended by his constable against King Stephen. On the accession of King Henry II in 1154, he was granted Marlbrough Castle and manors of Cherhill and Wexcombe, Wiltshire by the king. In 1155-6 he granted to the Templars all his land at Temple Rockley, Wiltshire which he held of his brother-in-law, Patrick, Earl of Salisbury free and clear of secular service. He had to surrender Marlborough Castle to the king in 1158. He is probably the "John Fitz Gilbert" who witnessed a charter of William de Chesney dated c.1159-63. He was present at the Council of Clarendon in 1164; soon afterwards he sued Thomas Becket for part of his manor of Pagham, Sussex. He was a benefactor of Troarn Abbey, to which he gave land and a house in Winchester, Hampshire. JOHN FITZ GILBERT died shortly before Michaelmas 1165. His wife, Sibyl, died 3 June, year unknown. In 1175-6 part of a fine due to the crown from his heirs was remitted in reimbursements for repairs done to Marlborough Castle. (* Note: Aline Pipard and her 2nd husband, Stephen de Gay, were the parents of Philip de Gay, of Northbrook (in Kirklinton), Oxfordshire, and Wootton Basset, Broadtown (in Cliffe Pipard), and Compton Basset, Wiltshire. He married Cecily ___. They had two daughters, Cecily and Aline (wife of Alan Basset, Knt.). Philip de Gay died shortly before 3 July 1190, when the king made a division of his lands between his two daughters. His widow, Cecily, was in the king's gift in 1194-5.

He succeeded to part of his father's lands in 1165, and in 1166 he succeeded to the lands of his half-brother, Gilbert Fitz John, with the office of Master Marshal. In 1170 he was with Henry the Young King at Winchester. In 1171-2 he was sent to Ireland in charge of the treasure amounting to £333.6.8. Sometime in the period, 1185-94, he gave the church of Cheddar, Somerset to Bradenstoke Priory, Wiltshire for his soul and the souls of his father, brethren, and relatives at rest there. He acted as Marshal at the Coronation of King Richard I in 1189, where he carried the Gold Spurs. The same year the king confirmed him in the manor of Wexcombe (in Great Bedwyn), Wiltshire. He was appointed custodian and receiver of all escheats in England. He was acting as a judge in cos. Oxford and Berks in 1192. JOHN MARSHAL was killed in March 1194, while defending Marlborough Castle, Wiltshire for John, Count of Mortain [afterwards King John]. His corpse was brought to Cirencester, Gloucestershire, where there was a funeral service in the church. The body was subsequently buried in Bradenstoke Priory, Wiltshire.

This was his son and successor, the third baron, who married Mahaut de Pont de l'Arche and died in 1227, when he was succeeded by his son David, the fourth baron. The third baron is often called simply William baron of Naas', and hence the confusion with his father; but in several documents his patronymic appears, for example, as the grantee in two charters calendared in this volume (p. 154) and ascribed to c.1205. One of these is transcribed (p. 200), and the Latin is free from any possible ambiguity: Willelmo filio Villelmi baroni del Nas. It is found also in the interesting document by which G[eoffrey de Henelawe] bishop of St. Davids (1203-14), after reciting grants of the dapiferate of St. Davids by previous bishops (1) to Maurice, son of Gerald and his heirs, (2) to William, son of Maurice, son of Gerald and his heirs, granted and confirmed the same to William, son of William, son of Maurice and his heirs; and again in the declaration of loyalty by the magnates of Ireland c.1212, and as a witness in 1221 to the grant already mentioned by Walter de Lacy to Philip de Angulo enrolled in the Irish Chancery.

They had six sons, William [1st of name] (lord of Tullaroan, Governor of Kilkenny, Constable and Seneschal of Leinster, died before 1242), Robert (died before 1219), William [2nd of name] (died before 1242), Hamon (of Dormston, Worcestershire), Anselm [Bishop of St. David's], and possibly Richard [monk at Westminster], and one daughter, Margaret (or Margery). In 1194 he faced the seizure of his rents and chattels at Sodbury, Gloucestershire presumably as a result of his support for the rebellion led in that year by the king's brother John [future King John]. The king's officials collected £11 as a year's rent from Sodbury, with William's confiscated stock, corn and perquisites there being valued at more than £20. About 1200 he issued a charter for Saint-Evroul concerning Soulangy and promised to respect `antiquas consuetudines' at `Alnetum.' In 1203-4 the Abbess of Caen fined to have the peace of William le Gras, Seneschal of Normandy, and Louvrecaire and for restitution of her lands and men whom mercenaries had seized. Late in 1203 King John fled Normandy for England. He was joined there shortly afterwards by William le Gras, his steward, and by a large number of William's sons and relations. Following his departure from Normandy, there were some 22 separate complaints against William in which he was accused of extorting lands or rights while he was seneschal. In 1204 the king ordered the sheriff of Somerset that, if the manor of Newton St Loe, late of Robert de Saint-Lo, was in the king's hands, then to deliver it to William Crassus; if the manor was not in the king's hands, then it was to be seized and seisin delivered to William. Sometime before 1215 Juliane Ponte de l'Arche, wife of Robert de Berkeley, granted to Southwick Priory the tenement, held by free burgage tenure, which William Crassus [le Gras] sold to her in his great need, together with all his houses and a small messuage near the norwthwest corner of the cemetery of the church of St. Mary at Berkeley, Gloucestershire.

A generation later he was remembered with loathing in the region around Falaise for using his power as seneschal to extort lands from his neighbours; hence the king of France confiscated the lands of William le Gras as he marched through this district in 1204, and loudly excluded him from his amnesty to the Normans.").

| 6289 | RESEARCH_NOTES: 1. “Royal Ancestry: A Study in Colonial & Medieval Families,” Douglas Richardson (2013): “JOHN FITZ GILBERT (also known as JOHN THE MARSHAL), of Cherhill, Great Bedwyn, Marlborough, Rockley, Tidworth, and Wexcombe (in Great Bedwyn), Wiltshire, Newbury, Berkshire, Nettlecombe, Somerset, etc., hereditary Master Marshal of England, son and heir, was of age in 1130. He married (1st) before 1130 ALINE PIPARD, daughter and heiress of Walter Pipard. They had two sons, Gilbert and Walter. In 1130 he accounted for his father's lands, and for the land and daughter of Walter Pipard. He was a loyal and trusted royal official and attested to at least twelve acts of King Henry I between 1129-35. He was with King Henry I in Normandy in 1130, and probably soon afterwards in England. About 1130 the king granted him Borough of Great Bedwyn, Wiltshire, which consisted of the tenements of 25 burgesses, and the lordship in demesne of Stock, Wexcombe, and Wilton and of what became West Bedwyn and Little Bedwyn manors. In 1137 he accompanied King Stephen on his expedition to Normandy. He took possession and fortified the Castles of Ludgershall and Marlborough, Wiltshire in 1138. In 1140 he held Marlborough, Wiltshire for King Stephen, and captured Robert Fitz Hubert who had taken the royal castle of Devizes. About 1141 he repudiated his wife, Aline; she subsequently married Stephen de Gay.* He married (2nd) SIBYL OF SALISBURY, daughter of Walter of Salisbury (also known as Walter Fitz Edward), of Chitterne, Wiltshire, Great Gaddesden, Hertfordshire, North Aston, Oxfordshire, etc., hereditary Sheriff of Wiltshire, by Sibyl, daughter of Patrick de Chaources (or Sourches) [see LONGESPÉE 2 for her ancestry]. Her maritagium included the manor of Mildenhall, Wiltshire. They had four sons, John [Marshal of England], William, Knt. [3rd Earl of Pembroke and Strigull, Lord of Leinster, Marshal of England], Anselm, and Henry [Archdeacon of Stafford, Dean of York, Bishop of Exeter], and two daughters, Maud and ___. He deserted to the Empress in 1141 and supported the Angevin cause thenceforth until 1154. He witnessed at least four charters of the Empress, and there are two writs addressed to him in Wiltshire by her. He also witnessed five charters of Duke Henry in Normandy. In 1141 he was cut off and surrounded in Wherwell Abbey, Hampshire, but escaped with the loss of an eye and other wounds. In 1142 he was with the Empress at Oxford, and two years later at Devizes. In 1144 he was raiding the surrounding country from Marlborough Castle and oppressing the clergy. He was with Maud's son, Henry, at Devizes in 1149 and 1153. In 1152 Newbury Castle was defended by his constable against King Stephen. On the accession of King Henry II in 1154, he was granted Marlbrough Castle and manors of Cherhill and Wexcombe, Wiltshire by the king. In 1155-6 he granted to the Templars all his land at Temple Rockley, Wiltshire which he held of his brother-in-law, Patrick, Earl of Salisbury free and clear of secular service. He had to surrender Marlborough Castle to the king in 1158. He is probably the "John Fitz Gilbert" who witnessed a charter of William de Chesney dated c.1159-63. He was present at the Council of Clarendon in 1164; soon afterwards he sued Thomas Becket for part of his manor of Pagham, Sussex.

On 12 Sept. 1220 William baron of Naas and Eve [sic] his wife made fine with the king by 100 marks for having dower in the manor of Grene, co. Limerick which pertains to Eve of the free tenement formerly of Phillip de Brewes, her former husband, in Ireland. WILLIAM FITZ WILLIAM, Baron of Naas, died shortly before 23 March 1227. His widow, Maud, died shortly before 16 July 1233, when Maurice Fitz Gerold, Justiciar of Ireland, was granted the land of Grene, co. Limerick which she previously held. Sweetman Cal. Docs. Rel.

This was his son and successor, the third baron, who married Mahaut de Pont de l'Arche and died in 1227, when he was succeeded by his son David, the fourth baron. The third baron is often called simply William baron of Naas', and hence the confusion with his father; but in several documents his patronymic appears, for example, as the grantee in two charters calendared in this volume (p. 154) and ascribed to c.1205. One of these is transcribed (p. 200), and the Latin is free from any possible ambiguity: Willelmo filio Villelmi baroni del Nas.

They had six sons, William [1st of name] (lord of Tullaroan, Governor of Kilkenny, Constable and Seneschal of Leinster, died before 1242), Robert (died before 1219), William [2nd of name] (died before 1242), Hamon (of Dormston, Worcestershire), Anselm [Bishop of St. David's], and possibly Richard [monk at Westminster], and one daughter, Margaret (or Margery). In 1194 he faced the seizure of his rents and chattels at Sodbury, Gloucestershire presumably as a result of his support for the rebellion led in that year by the king's brother John [future King John]. The king's officials collected £11 as a year's rent from Sodbury, with William's confiscated stock, corn and perquisites there being valued at more than £20. About 1200 he issued a charter for Saint-Evroul concerning Soulangy and promised to respect `antiquas consuetudines' at `Alnetum.' In 1203-4 the Abbess of Caen fined to have the peace of William le Gras, Seneschal of Normandy, and Louvrecaire and for restitution of her lands and men whom mercenaries had seized. Late in 1203 King John fled Normandy for England. He was joined there shortly afterwards by William le Gras, his steward, and by a large number of William's sons and relations. Following his departure from Normandy, there were some 22 separate complaints against William in which he was accused of extorting lands or rights while he was seneschal. In 1204 the king ordered the sheriff of Somerset that, if the manor of Newton St Loe, late of Robert de Saint-Lo, was in the king's hands, then to deliver it to William Crassus; if the manor was not in the king's hands, then it was to be seized and seisin delivered to William. Sometime before 1215 Juliane Ponte de l'Arche, wife of Robert de Berkeley, granted to Southwick Priory the tenement, held by free burgage tenure, which William Crassus [le Gras] sold to her in his great need, together with all his houses and a small messuage near the norwthwest corner of the cemetery of the church of St. Mary at Berkeley, Gloucestershire.

A generation later he was remembered with loathing in the region around Falaise for using his power as seneschal to extort lands from his neighbours; hence the king of France confiscated the lands of William le Gras as he marched through this district in 1204, and loudly excluded him from his amnesty to the Normans.").

He married (1st) before 1130 ALINE PIPARD, daughter and heiress of Walter Pipard. They had two sons, Gilbert and Walter. In 1130 he accounted for his father's lands, and for the land and daughter of Walter Pipard. He was a loyal and trusted royal official and attested to at least twelve acts of King Henry I between 1129-35. He was with King Henry I in Normandy in 1130, and probably soon afterwards in England. About 1130 the king granted him Borough of Great Bedwyn, Wiltshire, which consisted of the tenements of 25 burgesses, and the lordship in demesne of Stock, Wexcombe, and Wilton and of what became West Bedwyn and Little Bedwyn manors. In 1137 he accompanied King Stephen on his expedition to Normandy. He took possession and fortified the Castles of Ludgershall and Marlborough, Wiltshire in 1138. In 1140 he held Marlborough, Wiltshire for King Stephen, and captured Robert Fitz Hubert who had taken the royal castle of Devizes. About 1141 he repudiated his wife, Aline; she subsequently married Stephen de Gay.* He married (2nd) SIBYL OF SALISBURY, daughter of Walter of Salisbury (also known as Walter Fitz Edward), of Chitterne, Wiltshire, Great Gaddesden, Hertfordshire, North Aston, Oxfordshire, etc., hereditary Sheriff of Wiltshire, by Sibyl, daughter of Patrick de Chaources (or Sourches) [see LONGESPÉE 2 for her ancestry]. Her maritagium included the manor of Mildenhall, Wiltshire. They had four sons, John [Marshal of England], William, Knt. [3rd Earl of Pembroke and Strigull, Lord of Leinster, Marshal of England], Anselm, and Henry [Archdeacon of Stafford, Dean of York, Bishop of Exeter], and two daughters, Maud and ___. He deserted to the Empress in 1141 and supported the Angevin cause thenceforth until 1154. He witnessed at least four charters of the Empress, and there are two writs addressed to him in Wiltshire by her. He also witnessed five charters of Duke Henry in Normandy. In 1141 he was cut off and surrounded in Wherwell Abbey, Hampshire, but escaped with the loss of an eye and other wounds. In 1142 he was with the Empress at Oxford, and two years later at Devizes. In 1144 he was raiding the surrounding country from Marlborough Castle and oppressing the clergy. He was with Maud's son, Henry, at Devizes in 1149 and 1153. In 1152 Newbury Castle was defended by his constable against King Stephen. On the accession of King Henry II in 1154, he was granted Marlbrough Castle and manors of Cherhill and Wexcombe, Wiltshire by the king. In 1155-6 he granted to the Templars all his land at Temple Rockley, Wiltshire which he held of his brother-in-law, Patrick, Earl of Salisbury free and clear of secular service. He had to surrender Marlborough Castle to the king in 1158. He is probably the "John Fitz Gilbert" who witnessed a charter of William de Chesney dated c.1159-63. He was present at the Council of Clarendon in 1164; soon afterwards he sued Thomas Becket for part of his manor of Pagham, Sussex. He was a benefactor of Troarn Abbey, to which he gave land and a house in Winchester, Hampshire. JOHN FITZ GILBERT died shortly before Michaelmas 1165. His wife, Sibyl, died 3 June, year unknown. In 1175-6 part of a fine due to the crown from his heirs was remitted in reimbursements for repairs done to Marlborough Castle. (* Note: Aline Pipard and her 2nd husband, Stephen de Gay, were the parents of Philip de Gay, of Northbrook (in Kirklinton), Oxfordshire, and Wootton Basset, Broadtown (in Cliffe Pipard), and Compton Basset, Wiltshire. He married Cecily ___. They had two daughters, Cecily and Aline (wife of Alan Basset, Knt.). Philip de Gay died shortly before 3 July 1190, when the king made a division of his lands between his two daughters. His widow, Cecily, was in the king's gift in 1194-5.

In 1170 he was with Henry the Young King at Winchester. In 1171-2 he was sent to Ireland in charge of the treasure amounting to £333.6.8. Sometime in the period, 1185-94, he gave the church of Cheddar, Somerset to Bradenstoke Priory, Wiltshire for his soul and the souls of his father, brethren, and relatives at rest there. He acted as Marshal at the Coronation of King Richard I in 1189, where he carried the Gold Spurs. The same year the king confirmed him in the manor of Wexcombe (in Great Bedwyn), Wiltshire. He was appointed custodian and receiver of all escheats in England. He was acting as a judge in cos. Oxford and Berks in 1192. JOHN MARSHAL was killed in March 1194, while defending Marlborough Castle, Wiltshire for John, Count of Mortain [afterwards King John]. His corpse was brought to Cirencester, Gloucestershire, where there was a funeral service in the church. The body was subsequently buried in Bradenstoke Priory, Wiltshire.

She married (2nd) WILLIAM FITZ WILLIAM, Baron of Naas, co. Kildare, son and heir of William Fitz Maurice, Baron of Naas, co. Kildare, by Aline, daughter of Richard de Clare, Earl of Pembroke [see PEMBROKE 4.ii for his ancestry]. They had three sons, David [Baron of Naas], William, and Maurice. He was granted Karakytell Castle, with five knights' fees, by King John in 1199, and five knights' fees in Karakytell and Kyldruman by William de Brewes about 1209.

This was his son and successor, the third baron, who married Mahaut de Pont de l'Arche and died in 1227, when he was succeeded by his son David, the fourth baron. The third baron is often called simply William baron of Naas', and hence the confusion with his father; but in several documents his patronymic appears, for example, as the grantee in two charters calendared in this volume (p. 154) and ascribed to c.1205. One of these is transcribed (p. 200), and the Latin is free from any possible ambiguity: Willelmo filio Villelmi baroni del Nas. It is found also in the interesting document by which G[eoffrey de Henelawe] bishop of St. Davids (1203-14), after reciting grants of the dapiferate of St. Davids by previous bishops (1) to Maurice, son of Gerald and his heirs, (2) to William, son of Maurice, son of Gerald and his heirs, granted and confirmed the same to William, son of William, son of Maurice and his heirs; and again in the declaration of loyalty by the magnates of Ireland c.1212, and as a witness in 1221 to the grant already mentioned by Walter de Lacy to Philip de Angulo enrolled in the Irish Chancery.

They had six sons, William [1st of name] (lord of Tullaroan, Governor of Kilkenny, Constable and Seneschal of Leinster, died before 1242), Robert (died before 1219), William [2nd of name] (died before 1242), Hamon (of Dormston, Worcestershire), Anselm [Bishop of St. David's], and possibly Richard [monk at Westminster], and one daughter, Margaret (or Margery). In 1194 he faced the seizure of his rents and chattels at Sodbury, Gloucestershire presumably as a result of his support for the rebellion led in that year by the king's brother John [future King John]. The king's officials collected £11 as a year's rent from Sodbury, with William's confiscated stock, corn and perquisites there being valued at more than £20. About 1200 he issued a charter for Saint-Evroul concerning Soulangy and promised to respect `antiquas consuetudines' at `Alnetum.' In 1203-4 the Abbess of Caen fined to have the peace of William le Gras, Seneschal of Normandy, and Louvrecaire and for restitution of her lands and men whom mercenaries had seized. Late in 1203 King John fled Normandy for England. He was joined there shortly afterwards by William le Gras, his steward, and by a large number of William's sons and relations. Following his departure from Normandy, there were some 22 separate complaints against William in which he was accused of extorting lands or rights while he was seneschal. In 1204 the king ordered the sheriff of Somerset that, if the manor of Newton St Loe, late of Robert de Saint-Lo, was in the king's hands, then to deliver it to William Crassus; if the manor was not in the king's hands, then it was to be seized and seisin delivered to William. Sometime before 1215 Juliane Ponte de l'Arche, wife of Robert de Berkeley, granted to Southwick Priory the tenement, held by free burgage tenure, which William Crassus [le Gras] sold to her in his great need, together with all his houses and a small messuage near the norwthwest corner of the cemetery of the church of St. Mary at Berkeley, Gloucestershire.

A generation later he was remembered with loathing in the region around Falaise for using his power as seneschal to extort lands from his neighbours; hence the king of France confiscated the lands of William le Gras as he marched through this district in 1204, and loudly excluded him from his amnesty to the Normans.").

| 6291 | RESEARCH_NOTES: 1. “Royal Ancestry: A Study in Colonial & Medieval Families,” Douglas Richardson (2013): “JOHN FITZ GILBERT (also known as JOHN THE MARSHAL), of Cherhill, Great Bedwyn, Marlborough, Rockley, Tidworth, and Wexcombe (in Great Bedwyn), Wiltshire, Newbury, Berkshire, Nettlecombe, Somerset, etc., hereditary Master Marshal of England, son and heir, was of age in 1130. He married (1st) before 1130 ALINE PIPARD, daughter and heiress of Walter Pipard. They had two sons, Gilbert and Walter. In 1130 he accounted for his father's lands, and for the land and daughter of Walter Pipard. He was a loyal and trusted royal official and attested to at least twelve acts of King Henry I between 1129-35. He was with King Henry I in Normandy in 1130, and probably soon afterwards in England. About 1130 the king granted him Borough of Great Bedwyn, Wiltshire, which consisted of the tenements of 25 burgesses, and the lordship in demesne of Stock, Wexcombe, and Wilton and of what became West Bedwyn and Little Bedwyn manors. In 1137 he accompanied King Stephen on his expedition to Normandy. He took possession and fortified the Castles of Ludgershall and Marlborough, Wiltshire in 1138. In 1140 he held Marlborough, Wiltshire for King Stephen, and captured Robert Fitz Hubert who had taken the royal castle of Devizes. About 1141 he repudiated his wife, Aline; she subsequently married Stephen de Gay.* He married (2nd) SIBYL OF SALISBURY, daughter of Walter of Salisbury (also known as Walter Fitz Edward), of Chitterne, Wiltshire, Great Gaddesden, Hertfordshire, North Aston, Oxfordshire, etc., hereditary Sheriff of Wiltshire, by Sibyl, daughter of Patrick de Chaources (or Sourches) [see LONGESPÉE 2 for her ancestry]. Her maritagium included the manor of Mildenhall, Wiltshire. They had four sons, John [Marshal of England], William, Knt. [3rd Earl of Pembroke and Strigull, Lord of Leinster, Marshal of England], Anselm, and Henry [Archdeacon of Stafford, Dean of York, Bishop of Exeter], and two daughters, Maud and ___. He deserted to the Empress in 1141 and supported the Angevin cause thenceforth until 1154. He witnessed at least four charters of the Empress, and there are two writs addressed to him in Wiltshire by her. He also witnessed five charters of Duke Henry in Normandy. In 1141 he was cut off and surrounded in Wherwell Abbey, Hampshire, but escaped with the loss of an eye and other wounds. In 1142 he was with the Empress at Oxford, and two years later at Devizes. In 1144 he was raiding the surrounding country from Marlborough Castle and oppressing the clergy. He was with Maud's son, Henry, at Devizes in 1149 and 1153. In 1152 Newbury Castle was defended by his constable against King Stephen. On the accession of King Henry II in 1154, he was granted Marlbrough Castle and manors of Cherhill and Wexcombe, Wiltshire by the king. In 1155-6 he granted to the Templars all his land at Temple Rockley, Wiltshire which he held of his brother-in-law, Patrick, Earl of Salisbury free and clear of secular service. He had to surrender Marlborough Castle to the king in 1158. He is probably the "John Fitz Gilbert" who witnessed a charter of William de Chesney dated c.1159-63. He was present at the Council of Clarendon in 1164; soon afterwards he sued Thomas Becket for part of his manor of Pagham, Sussex. He was a benefactor of Troarn Abbey, to which he gave land and a house in Winchester, Hampshire. JOHN FITZ GILBERT died shortly before Michaelmas 1165. His wife, Sibyl, died 3 June, year unknown. In 1175-6 part of a fine due to the crown from his heirs was remitted in reimbursements for repairs done to Marlborough Castle. (* Note: Aline Pipard and her 2nd husband, Stephen de Gay, were the parents of Philip de Gay, of Northbrook (in Kirklinton), Oxfordshire, and Wootton Basset, Broadtown (in Cliffe Pipard), and Compton Basset, Wiltshire. He married Cecily ___. They had two daughters, Cecily and Aline (wife of Alan Basset, Knt.). Philip de Gay died shortly before 3 July 1190, when the king made a division of his lands between his two daughters. His widow, Cecily, was in the king's gift in 1194-5.

It is found also in the interesting document by which G[eoffrey de Henelawe] bishop of St. Davids (1203-14), after reciting grants of the dapiferate of St. Davids by previous bishops (1) to Maurice, son of Gerald and his heirs, (2) to William, son of Maurice, son of Gerald and his heirs, granted and confirmed the same to William, son of William, son of Maurice and his heirs; and again in the declaration of loyalty by the magnates of Ireland c.1212, and as a witness in 1221 to the grant already mentioned by Walter de Lacy to Philip de Angulo enrolled in the Irish Chancery.

They had six sons, William [1st of name] (lord of Tullaroan, Governor of Kilkenny, Constable and Seneschal of Leinster, died before 1242), Robert (died before 1219), William [2nd of name] (died before 1242), Hamon (of Dormston, Worcestershire), Anselm [Bishop of St. David's], and possibly Richard [monk at Westminster], and one daughter, Margaret (or Margery). In 1194 he faced the seizure of his rents and chattels at Sodbury, Gloucestershire presumably as a result of his support for the rebellion led in that year by the king's brother John [future King John]. The king's officials collected £11 as a year's rent from Sodbury, with William's confiscated stock, corn and perquisites there being valued at more than £20. About 1200 he issued a charter for Saint-Evroul concerning Soulangy and promised to respect `antiquas consuetudines' at `Alnetum.' In 1203-4 the Abbess of Caen fined to have the peace of William le Gras, Seneschal of Normandy, and Louvrecaire and for restitution of her lands and men whom mercenaries had seized. Late in 1203 King John fled Normandy for England. He was joined there shortly afterwards by William le Gras, his steward, and by a large number of William's sons and relations. Following his departure from Normandy, there were some 22 separate complaints against William in which he was accused of extorting lands or rights while he was seneschal. In 1204 the king ordered the sheriff of Somerset that, if the manor of Newton St Loe, late of Robert de Saint-Lo, was in the king's hands, then to deliver it to William Crassus; if the manor was not in the king's hands, then it was to be seized and seisin delivered to William. Sometime before 1215 Juliane Ponte de l'Arche, wife of Robert de Berkeley, granted to Southwick Priory the tenement, held by free burgage tenure, which William Crassus [le Gras] sold to her in his great need, together with all his houses and a small messuage near the norwthwest corner of the cemetery of the church of St. Mary at Berkeley, Gloucestershire.

A generation later he was remembered with loathing in the region around Falaise for using his power as seneschal to extort lands from his neighbours; hence the king of France confiscated the lands of William le Gras as he marched through this district in 1204, and loudly excluded him from his amnesty to the Normans.").

He married (1st) before 1130 ALINE PIPARD, daughter and heiress of Walter Pipard. They had two sons, Gilbert and Walter. In 1130 he accounted for his father's lands, and for the land and daughter of Walter Pipard. He was a loyal and trusted royal official and attested to at least twelve acts of King Henry I between 1129-35. He was with King Henry I in Normandy in 1130, and probably soon afterwards in England. About 1130 the king granted him Borough of Great Bedwyn, Wiltshire, which consisted of the tenements of 25 burgesses, and the lordship in demesne of Stock, Wexcombe, and Wilton and of what became West Bedwyn and Little Bedwyn manors. In 1137 he accompanied King Stephen on his expedition to Normandy. He took possession and fortified the Castles of Ludgershall and Marlborough, Wiltshire in 1138. In 1140 he held Marlborough, Wiltshire for King Stephen, and captured Robert Fitz Hubert who had taken the royal castle of Devizes. About 1141 he repudiated his wife, Aline; she subsequently married Stephen de Gay.* He married (2nd) SIBYL OF SALISBURY, daughter of Walter of Salisbury (also known as Walter Fitz Edward), of Chitterne, Wiltshire, Great Gaddesden, Hertfordshire, North Aston, Oxfordshire, etc., hereditary Sheriff of Wiltshire, by Sibyl, daughter of Patrick de Chaources (or Sourches) [see LONGESPÉE 2 for her ancestry]. Her maritagium included the manor of Mildenhall, Wiltshire. They had four sons, John [Marshal of England], William, Knt. [3rd Earl of Pembroke and Strigull, Lord of Leinster, Marshal of England], Anselm, and Henry [Archdeacon of Stafford, Dean of York, Bishop of Exeter], and two daughters, Maud and ___. He deserted to the Empress in 1141 and supported the Angevin cause thenceforth until 1154. He witnessed at least four charters of the Empress, and there are two writs addressed to him in Wiltshire by her. He also witnessed five charters of Duke Henry in Normandy. In 1141 he was cut off and surrounded in Wherwell Abbey, Hampshire, but escaped with the loss of an eye and other wounds. In 1142 he was with the Empress at Oxford, and two years later at Devizes. In 1144 he was raiding the surrounding country from Marlborough Castle and oppressing the clergy. He was with Maud's son, Henry, at Devizes in 1149 and 1153. In 1152 Newbury Castle was defended by his constable against King Stephen. On the accession of King Henry II in 1154, he was granted Marlbrough Castle and manors of Cherhill and Wexcombe, Wiltshire by the king. In 1155-6 he granted to the Templars all his land at Temple Rockley, Wiltshire which he held of his brother-in-law, Patrick, Earl of Salisbury free and clear of secular service. He had to surrender Marlborough Castle to the king in 1158. He is probably the "John Fitz Gilbert" who witnessed a charter of William de Chesney dated c.1159-63. He was present at the Council of Clarendon in 1164; soon afterwards he sued Thomas Becket for part of his manor of Pagham, Sussex. He was a benefactor of Troarn Abbey, to which he gave land and a house in Winchester, Hampshire. JOHN FITZ GILBERT died shortly before Michaelmas 1165. His wife, Sibyl, died 3 June, year unknown. In 1175-6 part of a fine due to the crown from his heirs was remitted in reimbursements for repairs done to Marlborough Castle. (* Note: Aline Pipard and her 2nd husband, Stephen de Gay, were the parents of Philip de Gay, of Northbrook (in Kirklinton), Oxfordshire, and Wootton Basset, Broadtown (in Cliffe Pipard), and Compton Basset, Wiltshire. He married Cecily ___. They had two daughters, Cecily and Aline (wife of Alan Basset, Knt.). Philip de Gay died shortly before 3 July 1190, when the king made a division of his lands between his two daughters. His widow, Cecily, was in the king's gift in 1194-5.

In 1170 he was with Henry the Young King at Winchester. In 1171-2 he was sent to Ireland in charge of the treasure amounting to £333.6.8. Sometime in the period, 1185-94, he gave the church of Cheddar, Somerset to Bradenstoke Priory, Wiltshire for his soul and the souls of his father, brethren, and relatives at rest there. He acted as Marshal at the Coronation of King Richard I in 1189, where he carried the Gold Spurs. The same year the king confirmed him in the manor of Wexcombe (in Great Bedwyn), Wiltshire. He was appointed custodian and receiver of all escheats in England. He was acting as a judge in cos. Oxford and Berks in 1192. JOHN MARSHAL was killed in March 1194, while defending Marlborough Castle, Wiltshire for John, Count of Mortain [afterwards King John]. His corpse was brought to Cirencester, Gloucestershire, where there was a funeral service in the church. The body was subsequently buried in Bradenstoke Priory, Wiltshire.

This was his son and successor, the third baron, who married Mahaut de Pont de l'Arche and died in 1227, when he was succeeded by his son David, the fourth baron. The third baron is often called simply William baron of Naas', and hence the confusion with his father; but in several documents his patronymic appears, for example, as the grantee in two charters calendared in this volume (p. 154) and ascribed to c.1205. One of these is transcribed (p. 200), and the Latin is free from any possible ambiguity: Willelmo filio Villelmi baroni del Nas.

They had six sons, William [1st of name] (lord of Tullaroan, Governor of Kilkenny, Constable and Seneschal of Leinster, died before 1242), Robert (died before 1219), William [2nd of name] (died before 1242), Hamon (of Dormston, Worcestershire), Anselm [Bishop of St. David's], and possibly Richard [monk at Westminster], and one daughter, Margaret (or Margery). In 1194 he faced the seizure of his rents and chattels at Sodbury, Gloucestershire presumably as a result of his support for the rebellion led in that year by the king's brother John [future King John]. The king's officials collected £11 as a year's rent from Sodbury, with William's confiscated stock, corn and perquisites there being valued at more than £20. About 1200 he issued a charter for Saint-Evroul concerning Soulangy and promised to respect `antiquas consuetudines' at `Alnetum.' In 1203-4 the Abbess of Caen fined to have the peace of William le Gras, Seneschal of Normandy, and Louvrecaire and for restitution of her lands and men whom mercenaries had seized. Late in 1203 King John fled Normandy for England. He was joined there shortly afterwards by William le Gras, his steward, and by a large number of William's sons and relations. Following his departure from Normandy, there were some 22 separate complaints against William in which he was accused of extorting lands or rights while he was seneschal. In 1204 the king ordered the sheriff of Somerset that, if the manor of Newton St Loe, late of Robert de Saint-Lo, was in the king's hands, then to deliver it to William Crassus; if the manor was not in the king's hands, then it was to be seized and seisin delivered to William. Sometime before 1215 Juliane Ponte de l'Arche, wife of Robert de Berkeley, granted to Southwick Priory the tenement, held by free burgage tenure, which William Crassus [le Gras] sold to her in his great need, together with all his houses and a small messuage near the norwthwest corner of the cemetery of the church of St. Mary at Berkeley, Gloucestershire.

William le Gras (Crassus) was from an Anglo-Norman baronial family long established in central Normandy and was a kinsman of William Marshal and Ralph Taisson; nevertheless, he tended to favour John's detested mercenaries and was afterwards credited with turning the Norman barons against John in 1203. A generation later he was remembered with loathing in the region around Falaise for using his power as seneschal to extort lands from his neighbours; hence the king of France confiscated the lands of William le Gras as he marched through this district in 1204, and loudly excluded him from his amnesty to the Normans.").

Genealogist n.s. 5 (1889): 209-212 ("The recent publication of Bracton's Note Book' has brought to light two cases, which supply evidence on this subject ... The first of these cases is to be found in the extracts from the Westminster Plea Roll for Trinity Term, 2 Henry III (1218), in which William, Earl of Salisbury (the famous Longsword), claims, in right of his wife, Ela, from Pagan de Chaworth, certain Manors in Gloucestershire, as those which Patrick de Chaworth, Pagan's predecessor (antecessor), gave in marriage with Sibilla, his daughter, in the time of Henry I, which right descended from Sibilla to his son Patrick, and from Patrick to his son William, the father of Ela. Pagan does not challenge this statement in any respect, but pleads, and successfully, that so far from establishing the claim of the Earl and his wife to hold these Manors in capite from the King, it only shows that the ancestors of the Countess received them in marriage from his ancestors. Acccording to the pedigree thus admitted in court, it is clear that Sibilla was daughter of the original Patrick de Chaworth, who had acquired, through marrying Matilda, one of Arnulph de Hesding's daughters, a share of Arnulph's Domesday manors, some of which were afterwards again given as a marriage portion with Sibilla to Walter of Salisbury ... The difficulties as to the dates of the birth of Sibilla's children, supposed to be involved, have no real existence. All that is known as to her son, Earl Patrick, is that he was of age in 1142, and born, therefore, at least as early as 1121, whilst his sister, Hawise, is said to have become the second wife of Rotrou (III), Count of Perche, in 1126, when she may have been, perhaps, sixteen.").

He married (1st) before 1130 ALINE PIPARD, daughter and heiress of Walter Pipard. They had two sons, Gilbert and Walter. In 1130 he accounted for his father's lands, and for the land and daughter of Walter Pipard. He was a loyal and trusted royal official and attested to at least twelve acts of King Henry I between 1129-35. He was with King Henry I in Normandy in 1130, and probably soon afterwards in England. About 1130 the king granted him Borough of Great Bedwyn, Wiltshire, which consisted of the tenements of 25 burgesses, and the lordship in demesne of Stock, Wexcombe, and Wilton and of what became West Bedwyn and Little Bedwyn manors. In 1137 he accompanied King Stephen on his expedition to Normandy. He took possession and fortified the Castles of Ludgershall and Marlborough, Wiltshire in 1138. In 1140 he held Marlborough, Wiltshire for King Stephen, and captured Robert Fitz Hubert who had taken the royal castle of Devizes. About 1141 he repudiated his wife, Aline; she subsequently married Stephen de Gay.* He married (2nd) SIBYL OF SALISBURY, daughter of Walter of Salisbury (also known as Walter Fitz Edward), of Chitterne, Wiltshire, Great Gaddesden, Hertfordshire, North Aston, Oxfordshire, etc., hereditary Sheriff of Wiltshire, by Sibyl, daughter of Patrick de Chaources (or Sourches) [see LONGESPÉE 2 for her ancestry]. Her maritagium included the manor of Mildenhall, Wiltshire. They had four sons, John [Marshal of England], William, Knt. [3rd Earl of Pembroke and Strigull, Lord of Leinster, Marshal of England], Anselm, and Henry [Archdeacon of Stafford, Dean of York, Bishop of Exeter], and two daughters, Maud and ___. He deserted to the Empress in 1141 and supported the Angevin cause thenceforth until 1154. He witnessed at least four charters of the Empress, and there are two writs addressed to him in Wiltshire by her. He also witnessed five charters of Duke Henry in Normandy. In 1141 he was cut off and surrounded in Wherwell Abbey, Hampshire, but escaped with the loss of an eye and other wounds. In 1142 he was with the Empress at Oxford, and two years later at Devizes. In 1144 he was raiding the surrounding country from Marlborough Castle and oppressing the clergy. He was with Maud's son, Henry, at Devizes in 1149 and 1153. In 1152 Newbury Castle was defended by his constable against King Stephen. On the accession of King Henry II in 1154, he was granted Marlbrough Castle and manors of Cherhill and Wexcombe, Wiltshire by the king. In 1155-6 he granted to the Templars all his land at Temple Rockley, Wiltshire which he held of his brother-in-law, Patrick, Earl of Salisbury free and clear of secular service. He had to surrender Marlborough Castle to the king in 1158. He is probably the "John Fitz Gilbert" who witnessed a charter of William de Chesney dated c.1159-63. He was present at the Council of Clarendon in 1164; soon afterwards he sued Thomas Becket for part of his manor of Pagham, Sussex. He was a benefactor of Troarn Abbey, to which he gave land and a house in Winchester, Hampshire. JOHN FITZ GILBERT died shortly before Michaelmas 1165. His wife, Sibyl, died 3 June, year unknown. In 1175-6 part of a fine due to the crown from his heirs was remitted in reimbursements for repairs done to Marlborough Castle. (* Note: Aline Pipard and her 2nd husband, Stephen de Gay, were the parents of Philip de Gay, of Northbrook (in Kirklinton), Oxfordshire, and Wootton Basset, Broadtown (in Cliffe Pipard), and Compton Basset, Wiltshire. He married Cecily ___. They had two daughters, Cecily and Aline (wife of Alan Basset, Knt.). Philip de Gay died shortly before 3 July 1190, when the king made a division of his lands between his two daughters. His widow, Cecily, was in the king's gift in 1194-5.

His wife, Juliane, died 15 Nov. 1217, and was buried at St. Augustine's, Bristol. He married (2nd) in 1218 LUCY ___, kinswoman [neptis] of William Longespée, Earl of Salisbury. They had no issue. SIR ROBERT DE BERKELEY died 13 May 1220, and was buried at St. Augustine's, Bristol.

They had no issue. He joined the barons against King John. In 1216 his manor of Wendover was granted to William de Fiennes, and in 1218 his lands in Lincolnshire to William de Cantelowe. His lands were restored 2 May 1222 (excepting Wendover). In 1223 the king ordered his lands in cos. Gloucester, Warwick, and Leicester be taken for attending a tournament without leave at Blyth, Nottinghamshire. The same year he lost all his land in the jurisdiction of the Constable of Bristol for hunting in the royal forest without leave. He fought against the Welsh in 1228 and in Brittany in 1234. His wife, Lucy, died 18 January 1234, and was buried at St. Augustine's. HUGH DE GOURNAY died shortly before 23 July 1238, and was buried at Langley Abbey, Norfolk.

This was his son and successor, the third baron, who married Mahaut de Pont de l'Arche and died in 1227, when he was succeeded by his son David, the fourth baron. The third baron is often called simply William baron of Naas', and hence the confusion with his father; but in several documents his patronymic appears, for example, as the grantee in two charters calendared in this volume (p. 154) and ascribed to c.1205. One of these is transcribed (p. 200), and the Latin is free from any possible ambiguity: Willelmo filio Villelmi baroni del Nas.

They had six sons, William [1st of name] (lord of Tullaroan, Governor of Kilkenny, Constable and Seneschal of Leinster, died before 1242), Robert (died before 1219), William [2nd of name] (died before 1242), Hamon (of Dormston, Worcestershire), Anselm [Bishop of St. David's], and possibly Richard [monk at Westminster], and one daughter, Margaret (or Margery). In 1194 he faced the seizure of his rents and chattels at Sodbury, Gloucestershire presumably as a result of his support for the rebellion led in that year by the king's brother John [future King John]. The king's officials collected £11 as a year's rent from Sodbury, with William's confiscated stock, corn and perquisites there being valued at more than £20. About 1200 he issued a charter for Saint-Evroul concerning Soulangy and promised to respect `antiquas consuetudines' at `Alnetum.' In 1203-4 the Abbess of Caen fined to have the peace of William le Gras, Seneschal of Normandy, and Louvrecaire and for restitution of her lands and men whom mercenaries had seized. Late in 1203 King John fled Normandy for England. He was joined there shortly afterwards by William le Gras, his steward, and by a large number of William's sons and relations. Following his departure from Normandy, there were some 22 separate complaints against William in which he was accused of extorting lands or rights while he was seneschal. In 1204 the king ordered the sheriff of Somerset that, if the manor of Newton St Loe, late of Robert de Saint-Lo, was in the king's hands, then to deliver it to William Crassus; if the manor was not in the king's hands, then it was to be seized and seisin delivered to William. Sometime before 1215 Juliane Ponte de l'Arche, wife of Robert de Berkeley, granted to Southwick Priory the tenement, held by free burgage tenure, which William Crassus [le Gras] sold to her in his great need, together with all his houses and a small messuage near the norwthwest corner of the cemetery of the church of St. Mary at Berkeley, Gloucestershire.

A generation later he was remembered with loathing in the region around Falaise for using his power as seneschal to extort lands from his neighbours; hence the king of France confiscated the lands of William le Gras as he marched through this district in 1204, and loudly excluded him from his amnesty to the Normans.").
