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

“IDA DE TONY. Prior to marriage, Ida was a mistress of King Henry II of England [see ENGLAND 4], by whom she was the mother of William Longespée, Knt., Earl of Salisbury [see LONGESPEE 5]. She married about Christmas 1181 ROGER LE BIGOD, Knt., 4th Earl of Norfolk, hereditary Steward of the Household, Privy Councillor, Keeper of Hertford Castle, 1191, Judge in the King's Court, 1195, 1196, 1199, 1202, Chief Judge in the King's Court, 1197, Warden of Romford Forest, 1200, son and heir of Hugh le Bigod, 3rd Earl of Norfolk, by his 1st wife, Juliane, daughter of Aubrey de Vere, of Great Addington and Drayton, Northamptonshire and Hedingham, Essex. He was born before 1140. They had five sons, Hugh [5th Earl of Norfolk], William, Roger, John, and Ralph, and three daughters, Mary, Margaret, and Ida. He bore the standard of St. Edmund at the Battle of Fornham in 1173. On the death of Roger's father in 1176, he and his stepmother, Gundred, appealed to the king on a dispute touching the inheritance, the countess pressing the claims of her own son. King Henry II subsequently seized the Bigod lands into his own hands. During the remainder of the reign, it seems Roger had little power, even if his succession was allowed. In the period, 1177-89, he confirmed the gift of Walter son of William de Shaldingfield his knight made to Sibton Abbey, Suffolk of 41 acres of land in Bruisyard, Suffolk. In the same period, he granted Reiner Fitz Berengar and Richard his son land in Friday Street, London. On King Richard I's accession in 1189, Roger was confirmed in the earldom of Norfolk and in the stewardship of the royal household. He was also appointed an ambassador to King Philippe of France to arrange for Richard's coming crusade. In the period, 1189-93, Roger granted 3 marks of annual rent in Walton, Norfolk to Reading Abbey for the health of his soul and that of his wife, Ida. In the same period, he granted the land of Geoffrey Fitz Geoffrey to West Dereham Abbey. In the period, 1189-1202, he granted William Fitz Richard a certain member of the manor of Notley, Essex. In the period, 1189-1202, he confirmed to the nuns of St. Mary, Wix the alms that Roger de Glanville gave them in Middleton, Suffolk. In the period, 1189-1202, he granted Richard de Seething 20 acres of land in Seething, Norfolk. In the period, 1189-1202, he granted Roger de Reimes the manor of Colne, Essex. In the period, 1189-1202, he granted to the men of Acle, Norfolk that they shall have hereditarily their turbaries. In the period, 1189-1204, Reynold de Thorp granted him and his heirs six acres of land Hervey the baker held of his fee in Heveningham, Suffolk; in the same period Earl Roger granted the same property to Hervey the baker and his heirs for the free annual service of 12d. payable to the grantor and his heirs and liable in Id. in the pound towards scutage. In the period, 1189-1217, he granted Sibton Abbey 21 acres of land in Wrabton (in Yoxford) and Kelsale, Suffolk, in exchange for the same amount of the monks' demesne which Roger enclosed within his park at Kelsale, Suffolk. In the period, 1189-1221, he grant to Barlings Abbey all his right in Holy Trinity, Bungay. In the period, 1189-1221, he granted to Anketil son of Anketil de Bungay land in Halvergate, Norfolk. In the period, 1189-1221, he granted Dodnash Priory his mill of Flatford in East Bergholt, Norfolk. In the same period, he granted to Dodnash Priory the homage and service of Adam Burris. In 1191 he was put in charge of Hereford Castle. In 1193 he was summoned with certain other barons and prelates to attend the chancellor into Germany, where negotiations were being carried on to effect King Richard's release from captivity. The same year he confirmed the covenant between Wymonclham Abbey and Ralph de Melves, his knight. In the period, 1193-8, he granted Reading Abbey three marks of rent from the church of Finchingfield. In 1194 he was present at the great council held at Nottingham. At the re-coronation of King Richard I 17 April 1194, he assisted in bearing the canopy. He served as a justiciar, fines being levied before him in the fifth year of Richard's reign and from the seventh onwards. He continued to act as a judge in King John's reign. In 1198 he confirmed earlier gifts to Felixstone Priory. In the period, 1199-1202, he granted Colne Priory the church of Dovercourt and the chapel of Harwich. In the period, 1199-1221, he granted Hinlding Priory the chapel of All Saints, Hacheston, Suffolk. In the same period, he granted Carrow Nunnery two sheaves of the tithe of Halvergate, Norfolk. In the period, 1199-1221, he quitclaimed to Ely Cathedral all actions and plaints in the hundreds of Carlford, Wilford, and Loes, Suffolk. In the period, 1199-1221, he granted Leiston Abbey the church of St. Mary, Middleton. In 1200 he was sent with other nobles to escort his wife's kinsman, William the Lion, King of Scots to do homage to King John at Lincoln. The same year William Fitz Alan agreed to hold for the life of the earl half a fee in Theberton, Suffolk. In 1209 his half-brother, Hugh le Bigod, quitclaimed to him all his right to the lands of Acle, Earsham, Halvergate, Little Framingham, and South Walsham, Norfolk, and Settrington, Yorkshire, in exchange for £30 worth of lands. He was imprisoned for unknown causes in 1213. He accompanied the king to Poitou in 1214. The following year he joined the confederacy of the barons against the king. He was one of the twenty-five barons elected to guarantee the observance of Magna Carta, signed by King John 15 June 1215. In consequence he was among the barons excommunicated by Pope Innocent III 16 Dec. 1215. His lands were forfeited and cruelly ravaged by the king. After the accession of King Henry III, he returned to his allegiance, and had order for the restoration of his lands in September 1217. SIR ROGER LE BIGOD, 4th Earl of Norfolk, died in 1221, before 2 August.

2. “Royal Ancestry: A Study in Colonial & Medieval Families,” Douglas Richardson (2013):
“HENRY nicknamed “Beauclerc,” King of England, Duke of Normandy, Count of Cotentin, 4th son, born in 1068 or 1069. He married (1st) 11 Nov. 1100 MAUD OF SCOTLAND, daughter of Malcolm III (CeannMor), King of Scots, by his 2nd wife, [Saint] Margaret, daughter of Edward Ætheling [see SCOTLAND 1 for her parentage]. She was born in 1079. They had one son, William, and one daughter, Maud. His wife, Maud, died at Westminster 1 May 1118. He married (2nd) at Windsor, Berkshire 29 Jan. 1121 ALICE (or AELIZ, ALEIDE, ALEYDA, AELIDIS, ADELIDE, ADELIDIS, ADELAIDIS, ADELIZA, ADELIZE, ATHELICE) OF LOUVAIN, daughter of Gottfried (or Godefroy) I, Duke of Lower Lorraine, Count of Louvain, by his 1st wife, Ida, daughter of Otto II, Count of Chiny. She was born about 1103. They had no issue. By various mistresses, he had eight illegitimate sons, Robert [Earl of Gloucester], Richard, Fulk, Reynold [Earl of Cornwall], Robert, Gilbert, William de Tracy, and Henry, and nine illegitimate daughters, Maud (or Mathilde) (wife of Rotrou II, Count of Perche), Alice, Maud (or Mathilde) (wife of Conan III, Duke of Brittany), Juliane (wife of Eustache de Pacy, seigneur of Breteuil and Pacy), Mabel (wife of Guillaume Gouet, seigneur of Montmirail), Constance (wife of Roscelin de Beaumont), Aline (wife of Mathieu de Montmorency), Sibyl (wife of Alexander I, King of Scots), and Isabel.* HENRY I, King of England died at Lyons-la-Forêt (near Rouen), Normandy 1 Dec. 1135, and was buried at Reading Abbey, Berkshire. His widow, Alice, married (2nd) after Dec. 1136 but later than summer 1139 WILLIAM D'AUBENEY, Earl of Lincoln, afterwards 1st Earl of Arundel (or Sussex), hereditary Chief Butler of England, Privy Councillor to King Henry I [see CLIFTON 3]. They had four sons, William [2nd Earl of Arundel or Sussex], Reiner, Henry, and Godfrey, and two daughters, Alice (wife of Jean I, Count of Eu and Alvred de Saint Martin) and Olive. He was a witness to King Stephen's 2nd Charter of Liberties in 1136. He was created Earl of Lincoln c.1138. He gave shelter to Empress Maud at Arundel Castle in 1139, but afterwards adhered to King Stephen. His earldom was transferred from Lincoln to Sussex before Christmas 1141. In his own later charters he is styled Earl of Chichester. About 1145 he witnessed a charter of Henry Hussey as "Consul Willelmo de Cicesterr." His wife, Alice, presented to the prebend of West Dean in 1150. Alice, dowager Queen of England, died as a nun at Affligem Abbey in Brabant 25 (or 26) March 1151, and was buried at Reading Abbey, Berkshire. He was influential in arranging the treaty of 1153, whereby the Crown continued with King Stephen for life, though the inheritance thereof was secured to Henry II. He subscribed his name to this instrument as "Comes Cicestrie." By grant dated c.1155, King Henry II confirmed to him as "William, Earl of Arundel" the Castle of Arundel, with the whole honour of Arundel and all its appurtenances. He served as Joint Ambassador to France and to the Pope in 1163/4. He served as Chief Ambassador with Princess Maud to Germany in 1168. He was appointed joint Commander of the royal army in Normandy in 1173. In Sept. 1173 he assisted in the defeat near Bury St. Edmunds of the Earl of Leicester. He founded Buckenham Abbey, Norfolk and Pynharn Priory, Sussex. WILLIAM D'AUBENEY, 1st Earl of Arundel (or Sussex), died at Waverley Abbey, Surrey 4 (or 12) October 1176, and was buried at Wymondham Priory, Norfolk.
[Footnote *: In 1824 the Scottish historian Chalmers stated that King Henry I of England had an illegitimate daughter, Elizabeth, who married Fergus, lord of Galloway (died 1161). [see Chalmers Caledonia 3 (1824): 250, footnote k ("Fergus [lord of Galloway] ... was a prince of some note, even at the court of Henry I. of England, is certain : as he took to wife, according to the heralds, genealogists, and chroniclers, Elizabeth, the natural daughter of Henry I.")]. Scots Peerage 4 (1907): 135-136 (sub Galloway), however, debunked Chalmers' statement, noting that the authorities quoted by Chalmers "do not bear out his assertion." Even so, other secondary sources have continued to repeat Chalmers' unfounded claim: See, for example, Mackenzie History of Galloway (1841): 167-172 ("Fergus ... married Elizabeth, illegitimate daughter of Henry I. of England"); Anderson Scottish Nation 2 (1862): 195 ("Fergus, lord of Galloway ... married Elizabeth, illegitimate daughter of Henry I. of England ..."); M'Kerlie Galloway in Ancient & Modern Times (1891): 155 ("It is necessary to repeat here that Fergus married Elizabeth, the natural daughter of King Henry I. of England."); Maxwell Hist. of Dumfries & Galloway (1896): 47-48 ("Fergus ... married Elizabeth, natural daughter of Henry I., and sister of Sibilla, who married Alexander I., brother of David."); Ramsay Angevin Empire (1903): 90, footnote 7 ("Gunfrith [i.e., Godred] was son of Olaf, by Afreca, daughter of Fergus of Galloway, by 'Elisabeth,' reputed natural daughter of Henry I."); Oram Lordship of Galloway (2000): 60; Green Henry I, King of England & Duke of Normandy (2006): Appendix I, Chart 2 (chart). Barrow Robert Bruce (1965): 36, footnote 2 notes that "Roger Howden calls Uchtred son of Fergus of Galloway a cousin of King Henry II (Gesta Henrici Secundi Benedicti Abbatis, ed. Stubbs, Rolls Ser., i, 80)," a relationship which Professor Barrow states "is best explained on the supposition that Fergus married a bastard daughter of Henry I." However, given that King Henry II of England had a Scottish grandmother, a more likely explanation of the kinship between the Galloway and English royal families is that the wife of Fergus was near related to the Scottish royal family, possibly being a sister of William Fitz Duncan, whose grandfather was Malcolm Canmore, King of Scots [died 1093]. This arrangement would make Uchtred son of Fergus and King Henry II of England related in the 3rd degree of kindred (or second cousins).]

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

“MAUD DE SENLIS, married in 1112 ROBERT FITZ RICHARD, of Little Dunmow, Essex, Baynard's Castle, London, Cratfield, Suffolk, etc., Steward of Kings Henry I and Stephen, 5th son of Richard Fitz Gilbert, of Bienfaite and Orbec, Normandy, Clare, Suffolk, Tonbridge, Kent, by Rohese, daughter of Walter Giffard, of Long Crendon, Buckinghamshire [see CLARE 1 for his ancestry]. They had one son, Walter, and one daughter, Maud. He witnessed a number of charters of King Henry I. Sometime before 1136 he gave all his part of the water of Stour Mere, for the souls of himself and his ancestors, and for the love of his kinsman, Gerard Giffard the prior, to Stoke by Clare Priory, Suffolk. He accompanied King Stephen to York and Exeter in 1136. ROBERT FITZ RICHARD died in 1137, after 28 November, and was buried at St. Neot's Priory, Cambridgeshire. His widow, Maud, married (2nd) between 1137 and 1140 (as his 1st wife) SAHER DE QUINCY (or QUENCY), of Long Buckby, Northamptonshire and Wimpole, Cambridgeshire, and, in right of his 1st wife, of East Bradenham, Norfolk and Daventry, Northamptonshire; and, in right of his 2nd wife, of Great Childerley (in Childerley), Cambridgeshire. They had two sons, Robert and Saher, and one daughter, Alice. Sometime before 1176 Maud granted the church of East Bradenham, Norfolk to Norwich Cathedral with the consent of her son, Walter Fitz Robert. At an unknown date, with consent of Walter her son, she granted to Maurice Fitz Geoffrey all her dower lands in Essex and London, which William Fitz Walcher formerly held. He witnessed a charter of Simon son of Simon Earl of Northampton in 1153-7. His wife, Maud, was living in 1158. In 1158 he was pardoned 25s. danegeld in Northamptonshire. Sometime after 1163 he granted Sibton Abbey 20 acres of land from his demesne and 30 acres of broken heath in the village of Tuddenham, Suffolk. At an unknown date, Saher granted the canons of Dunmow, Essex a yearly rent of 10s. issuing out of the lordship of East Bradenham, Norfolk. Saher married (2nd) after 1165 ASCELINE PEVEREL, widow of Geoffrey de Waterville (occurs c.1138-61, dead in 1162), of Ailsworth and Upton (in Castor), Northamptonshire, and daughter of Robert Peverel, by his wife, Adelicia. They had no issue. She was co-heiress in 1148 to her brother, William Peverel, of Dover, by which she inherited a one-quarter share of the barony of Bourn, Cambridgeshire. Sometime between 1161 and 1172, she and her son, Ralph de Waterville, conceded to Shrewsbury Abbey a third of Crugelton and Slepe, Shropshire, as given previously by her uncle, Hamon Peverel. Sometime in the 1170s Saher confirmed William [de Belvoir] and his son, Reynold [de Oakley], in their possession of the manor of Great Childerley (in Childerley), Cambridgeshire. SAHER DE QUINCY died in 1190 (or about 1193).

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

“MAUD OF NORTHUMBERLAND, daughter and co-heiress, born about 1072 (aged 18 in 1090). She married (1st) in or before 1090 SIMON DE SENLIS, in right of his wife, Earl of Huntingdon and Northampton, and, lord of Conington, Huntingdonshire, Tottenham, Middlesex, Fotheringay, Northamptonshire, etc. They had two sons, Simon [Earl of Northampton] and [Saint] Waltheof [Prior of Kirkham, Abbot of Melrose], and one daughter, Maud. By an unknown mistress, he had an illegitimate son, Simon. He went on crusade in 1095. In 1098 he was captured during the Vexin campaign of King William Rufus in 1098, and was subsequently ransomed. He witnessed King Henry I's charter of liberties issued at his coronation in 1100. He attested royal charters in England from 1100-3, 1106-7, and 1109-11. Sometime in the period, 1093-1100, he and his wife, Maud, founded the Priory of St. Andrew's, Northampton. He reportedly built the first castle at Northampton. He witnessed a grant of King Henry I to Bath Abbey 8 August 1111 at Bishop's Waltham, as the king was crossing to Normandy. Simon and his wife, Maud, gave the tithe of Tottenham, Middlesex to the monks of St. Andrew's, Northampton. SIMON DE SENLIS, Earl of Huntingdon and Northampton, subsequently went abroad and died at La Charité-sur-Loire, and was buried there in the new priory church. The date of his death is uncertain. His widow, Maud, married (2nd) before Midsummer 1113 DAVID I, King of Scots [see SCOTLAND 2], 6th and youngest son of Malcolm III Canmore, King of Scots, by his 2nd wife, Margaret [see SCOTLAND I for his ancestry]. He was probably born about 1085. They had two sons, Malcolm and Henry [Earl of Northumberland], and two daughters, Clarisse and Hodierne. David was recognized as Earl of Huntingdon to the exclusion of his step-son, Simon; the earldom of Northampton reverted to the crown. As Earl of Huntingdon, he made various grants to St. Andrew's, Northampton. In 1113 he founded an abbey at Selkirk, afterwards removed to Kelso, and gave it land at Hardingstone and Northampton. He founded another abbey at Jedworth in 1118. He succeeded, his brother, Alexander I, as King of Scotland 25 April 1124. In 1127 he joined in the Barons' recognition of Empress Maud to succeed her father on the throne of England. When Stephen seized the crown, David took arms against him. His wife, Queen Maud, died 1130 or 1131, and was buried at Scone. About 1132 he gave the church of Tottenham, Middlesex to the canons of the church of Holy Trinity, London. In 1136 King David I resigned the earldom of Huntingdon to his son, Henry, who did homage to Stephen. David was defeated at the Battle of Standard 22 August 1138. DAVID I, King of Scots, died at Carlisle 24 May 1153, and was buried at Dunfermline, Fife.

This earldom came to King David by right of his wife, Maud daughter of Earl Waltheof, but he was her second husband and his claim was disputed by Simon de Senlis II who was Maud's son by her first marriage. Stephen was predisposed towards Simon (who supported him loyally) but anxious not to make an enemy of King David if he could help it, and he seems to have aimed at a compromise whereby Northampton would be detached from the earldom of Huntingdon and made a separate earldom for Simon. So far as Huntingdon was concerned, he granted it to King David's son Henry at the Treaty of Durham (5 February 1136). Henry presumably forfeited it during the Scottish war of 1138, but held it again from the second Treaty of Durham (9 April 1139) till the end of 1141, when he finally lost it. It was subsequently held by Simon de Senlis II together with Northampton (G.W.S. Barrow, in Regesta Regum Scottorum i. 102)."). Tait Medieval English Borough (1968): 154-155 ([King William Rufus] apparently ... rewarded the loyalty of Henry of Newburgh and Simon of Senlis with the earldoms of Warwick and Northampton and the lordships of those towns. Simon as the son-in-law of Waltheof had a hereditary claim to the earldom, though not to the town ... It has been doubted whether Simon received the earldom before Henry l's time (Farrer, Honors and Knights' Fees, ii. 296), but he attests a charter of the previous reign as earl (Davis, op. cit., no. 315) and was already earl at Henry's coronation. There is some evidence that Henry I granted the earldom of Northampton as well as that of Huntingdon to David of Scotland, the husband of Simon's widow, but he kept the lordship of the town in his own hands and it was being farmed from the Crown in 1130.).

“MAUD DE SENLIS, married in 1112 ROBERT FITZ RICHARD, of Little Dunmow, Essex, Baynard's Castle, London, Cratfield, Suffolk, etc., Steward of Kings Henry I and Stephen, 5th son of Richard Fitz Gilbert, of Bienfaite and Orbec, Normandy, Clare, Suffolk, Tonbridge, Kent, by Rohese, daughter of Walter Giffard, of Long Crendon, Buckinghamshire [see CLARE 1 for his ancestry]. They had one son, Walter, and one daughter, Maud. He witnessed a number of charters of King Henry I. Sometime before 1136 he gave all his part of the water of Stour Mere, for the souls of himself and his ancestors, and for the love of his kinsman, Gerard Giffard the prior, to Stoke by Clare Priory, Suffolk. He accompanied King Stephen to York and Exeter in 1136. ROBERT FITZ RICHARD died in 1137, after 28 November, and was buried at St. Neot's Priory, Cambridgeshire. His widow, Maud, married (2nd) between 1137 and 1140 (as his 1st wife) SAHER DE QUINCY (or QUENCY), of Long Buckby, Northamptonshire and Wimpole, Cambridgeshire, and, in right of his 1st wife, of East Bradenham, Norfolk and Daventry, Northamptonshire; and, in right of his 2nd wife, of Great Childerley (in Childerley), Cambridgeshire. They had two sons, Robert and Saher, and one daughter, Alice. Sometime before 1176 Maud granted the church of East Bradenham, Norfolk to Norwich Cathedral with the consent of her son, Walter Fitz Robert. At an unknown date, with consent of Walter her son, she granted to Maurice Fitz Geoffrey all her dower lands in Essex and London, which William Fitz Walcher formerly held. He witnessed a charter of Simon son of Simon Earl of Northampton in 1153-7. His wife, Maud, was living in 1158. In 1158 he was pardoned 25s. danegeld in Northamptonshire. Sometime after 1163 he granted Sibton Abbey 20 acres of land from his demesne and 30 acres of broken heath in the village of Tuddenham, Suffolk. At an unknown date, Saher granted the canons of Dunmow, Essex a yearly rent of 10s. issuing out of the lordship of East Bradenham, Norfolk. Saher married (2nd) after 1165 ASCELINE PEVEREL, widow of Geoffrey de Waterville (occurs c.1138-61, dead in 1162), of Ailsworth and Upton (in Castor), Northamptonshire, and daughter of Robert Peverel, by his wife, Adelicia. They had no issue. She was co-heiress in 1148 to her brother, William Peverel, of Dover, by which she inherited a one-quarter share of the barony of Bourn, Cambridgeshire. Sometime between 1161 and 1172, she and her son, Ralph de Waterville, conceded to Shrewsbury Abbey a third of Crugelton and Slepe, Shropshire, as given previously by her uncle, Hamon Peverel. Sometime in the 1170s Saher confirmed William [de Belvoir] and his son, Reynold [de Oakley], in their possession of the manor of Great Childerley (in Childerley), Cambridgeshire. SAHER DE QUINCY died in 1190 (or about 1193).

“MAUD FITZ THOMAS, born about 1269-72 (aged 26 in 1295, aged 30 in 1302). She married before June 1282 JOHN BOTETOURT (or BUTETURTE, BOUTECOURTE, BOTECOURT, BUTECOURT), Knt., of Little Effingham and Upton, Norfolk, Great Bradley, Suffolk, etc., and, in right of his wife, of Mendlesham, Suffolk, Bromham, Cardington, Dilewick, Renhold, and Wootton, Bedfordshire, Linslade, Buckinghamshire, Hamerton, Huntingdonshire, Shelsley Beauchamp, Worcestershire, etc., Admiral of the North Fleet, Warden of the Forest of Dean and Constable of St. Briayels Castle, 1291-1308, Governor of Framlingham Castle, son and heir of Guy Botetourt, Knt., of Little Effingham, Cantley, Cranworth, Fishley, Kimberley, Upton, and Woodrising, Norfolk, by his wife, Ada. They had four sons, Thomas, Knt., John, K.B., Otes, Knt., and Robert, and three daughters, Joan, Ada, and Elizabeth. He began his household career as a falconer in the 1270s. He first campaigned in Wales in 1282 as a squire of the household. His wife, Maud, was co-heiress in 1283 to her brother, Otes Fitz Thomas, and sole heiress in 1285 to her sister, Joan, wife of Guy Ferre, by which she inherited the hereditary office of coiner of the Mint, together with the manors of Mendlesham, Suffolk, Belchamp Otton, Gestingthorpe, and Gosfield, Essex, Woodmancote, Gloucestershire, Hamerton, Huntingdonshire, Shelsley Beauchamp, Worcestershire, and a one-third share of the barony of Bedford, Bedfordshire. In 1286 he claimed view of frankpledge and free warren in Hamerton, Huntingdonshire. Sometime in the period, 1291-1302, Maud was heiress to her cousin, Joan, daughter of Hugh Fitz Otes, Knt., by which she inherited the manor of Isetthampstead (in Chesham), Buckinghamshire. In 1292-3 he was a justice of gaol delivery in Warwickshire and Leicestershire. In 1293 he and his wife Maud his wife quitclaimed to the Abbot of Colchester their right to the advowson of the church of Hamerton, Huntingdonshire. In 1294 when the king faced the threat of French galleys raiding the south coast of England, he appointed two household knights, William de Leyboume and John Botetourt as captain and sub-captain of the fleet. In the following year they were described as admirals - the first use of the term in England. In 1296 he commanded 94 ships taken from ports between Harwich and King's Lynn, the great majority from Yarmouth. In 1298 and 1299 he served on four commissions of oyer and terminer. In 1298 he had letters of protection for one year, he then going to Scotland. He was accompanied in that campaign by his younger brother, Guy Botetourt, and his valet, William Botetourt. In 1300 he complained William de Wolcherchehaw, taverner, beat one of his carters and did "other enormities;" the defendant came into court and pledged a cask of wine to him. He was present at the Siege of Caerlaverock in 1300; the metrical chronicler of that siege described him as "light of heart and doing good to all." The same year he was appointed one of three commissioners to inquire into cases of exportation of sterling money, gold and silver, plate, wool, etc., and the exchange of the same for base coin which was imported into England and unlawfully changed. He signed the Barons' letter to Pope Boniface VIII in 1301. In 1304 he led a raid into Nithsdale with 130 cavalry and 1,770 infantry. The same year the king ordered him to assist Robert de Brus, then on the English side, in transporting one great engine in preparation of the siege train for the siege of Stirling in Scotland. He was summoned to Parliament from 13 July 1305 to 13 Sept. 1324, by writs directed Jobanni Botetourt, whereby he may be held to have become Lord Botetourt. In 1305 he was appointed one of the justices of trailbaston. The same year he was sent to treat with the Scots on the affairs of that kingdom. In 1306 he enrolled himself as performing the service of one knight in Scotland, but in fact he had a contingent of three knights and eleven squires with him. In 1307 he again commanded a raid against the Scots. Sometime before 1309-10, he and his wife, Maud, conveyed land in Linslade, Buckinghamshire to William Rous. In 1309-10 William Fitz Walter conveyed the manor of Great Bradley, Suffolk to him and his wife, Maud. In 1310 he obtained a license to alienate lands and rents in Mendlesham, Suffolk in mot twain to the value of 100s. for a chaplain to celebrate in Mendlesham church. In 1311 he and his wife, Maud, were granted the reversion of the manors of Fulbourn, Cambridgeshire and Great Carbrooke, Norfolk by Baldwin de Manners, Knt., who died childless in 1320. John sold the former manor to William la Zouche Mortimer, Knt., Lord Zouche, and Alice his wife in 1323; the latter manor was held in 1327 by John Botetourt's son-in-law, William le Latimer. In 1312 John Botetourt and several others were granted letters of safe-conduct by the king to confer in London with Arnold, Cardinal of St. Prisca, and Louis, Count of Evreux, who were sent to help effect a reconciliation between King Edward II and the disaffected earls. In 1314 he commanded the fleet employed in the expedition against Scotland. The same year Peter de Burgate, Knt., released all his right in the manor of Mendlesham, Suffolk to him and his wife, Maud. In 1315 he complained that those recruited for his company were "feeble chaps, not strong enough, not properly dressed, and lacking bows and arrows." In 1316 he presented his brother, Master Roger Botetourt, as rector of Great Bradley, Suffolk. In 1318 he again presented to the church of Great Bradley, Suffolk. The same year he and his wife, Maud, complained that Richard, Abbot of St. Edmunds, William de Cleye, and many others came to Tivetshall, Norfolk, where Maud and some of the servants of the said John were lodged, maliciously raised a hue and cry against them, expelled the said Maud and the servants from the inn, carried away the goods of the said John, and assaulted the said servants. Either he or his grandson, John Botetourt, was heir sometime after 1318-19 to his brother, William Botetourt, by which he inherited the manor of Cantley, Norfolk. In 1319 he and his wife, Maud, sold the manor of Woodmancote, Gloucestershire to Robert de Swynburn. In 1320 he obtained a license to alienate one acre of land in Fishley, Norfolk, together with the advowson of a moiety of the church of Fishley, Norfolk, to the Prior and Convent of St. Mary's, Weybridge, and for them to appropriate the said moiety, to find a chaplain to celebrate divine services for the soul of the said John and the souls of his ancestors. In 1321 he and his wife, Maud, sold the manor of Shelsley Beauchamp, Worcestershire to John de Wysham, Knt., and his wife, Hawise de Poynings; in 1322-3 he conveyed the manor and advowson of the church of Little Effingham, Norfolk to the same couple. John joined the rebellion of Thomas, Earl of Lancaster, and fought at the Battle of Boroughbridge 16 March 1321/2. He was subsequently fined £1000, and received a pardon 8 October 1322. In 1323 he and his wife, Maud, conveyed the manor of Isenhampstead Chesham), Buckinghamshire to Hugh le Despenser the younger, but, on Hugh's execution and attainder in 1326, the manor escheated to the crown and custody was re-granted to Maud Botetourt. In 1323-4 they made a settlement of the manor of Great Carbrooke, Norfolk, evidently in connection with the marriage of their daughter, Elizabeth, to William le Latimer, as William was lord of this manor in 1327. In 1324 John paid the Italian bankers, the Peruzzi, 100 marks, evidently in payment of a debt he owed to Hugh le Despenser the younger. SIR JOHN BOTETOURT, 1st Lord Botetourt, died 25 Nov. 1324. In 1325 his widow, Maud, sued Andrew de Bures, Robert de Bures and his wife, Hillary, and John de Wysham and his wife, Hawise, for one third part of the manor of Little Effingham, Norfolk, which she claimed as her dower. In 1327 she likewise sued Robert son of John Botetourt, John de Wynchestre and others regarding unspecified land in Suffolk. In 1328 she obtained a license to enfeoff Master William Artoys of a messuage and land in Renhold, Bedfordshire. On 12 Nov. 1328 she obtained a license to convey to her daughter and son-in-law, Elizabeth and William le Latimer, her share of the barony of Bedford, Bedfordshire, including the manors of Bromham, Cardington, Dilewick, Renhold, and Wootton, Bedfordshire. Maud, Lady Botetourt, died shortly before 27 Nov. 1328. In May 1329 her son-in-law, William le Latimer, was pardoned for having previously purchased from her without license the hereditary office of coiner of the Mint. In 1330 John and Maud's son, Otes Botetourt, obtained a license to alienate in mortrnain a messuage, 30 acres of land, and 30s. in rent in Mendlesham, Suffolk to a chaplain to celebrate divine services in the parish church of Mendlesham for the souls of his parents.
(Note: F.N. Craig published a brilliant article entitled "The Parentage of John Botetourt (died 1324)" in TAG 63 (1988): 145-153, which article provides compelling evidence that Sir John Botetourt, 1st Lord Botetourt, is the son and heir of Sir Guy Botetourt (died c.1316), of Effingham, Norfolk, by his wife, Ada (living 1311-12). Specifically, Mr. Craig showed that Sir Guy Botetourt had the manors of Effingham (his chief seat), Uphall (in Cantley), and Upton, Norfolk, all of which passed to Sir John Botetourt, 1st Lord Botetourt, or his descendants. For additional evidence of Sir John Botetourt's parentage, see Byerly & Byerly Recs. of the Wardrobe & Household 1286-1289 (1986): 258, which mentions Robert brother of John Botetourt. This Robert appears to be the same individual as Robert son of Guy Botetourt, a priest, who occurs in 1306; a Roger son of Guy Botetourt, also a priest, is named in 1306 [see Papal Regs.: Letters 2 (1895): 15, 211. In 1294 Roger Botetourt and his brother Robert [presumably the same individuals] jointly acquired a messuage in St. Michael's parish, Cambridge in 1294 [see Cooper Mems. of Cambridge (1861): 215]. In 1306 the king gave license to Master Roger and Robert Boutetourt to enclose the lane on the south side of their dwelling-place in Cambridge [see C.P.R. 1301-4307 (1898): 435]. Master Roger later sold this property alone in 1324 as "Master Roger, the son of the noble man Sir Guy Buttetourte." [see Cooper, ibid.; Procs. Soc. of Antiquaries of London 2nd Ser. 4 (1869): 200-201; Rye Pedes Finium or Fines Rd Cambridge (1891): 90]. Master Roger is doubtless the same person as the Roger Botetourt who was rector of Little Effingham, Norfolk, which advowson was held by Sir John Botetourt, 1st Lord Botetourt, in 1317 (see Watkin Inv. of Church Goods temp. Edward III (Norfolk Rec. Soc. 19(2)) (1948): 137, 215). Robert Botetourt also served as a feoffee in 1311, when Sir Baldwin de Manners settled the reversion of two manors on Sir John Botetourt and Maud his wife [see Blomefield Essay towards a Top. Hist. of Norfolk 1 (1739): 608; Banks Baronies in Fee 2 (1843): 101 (sub Manners); Rye Pedes Finium or Fines Rel. Cambridge (1891): 891. Records further shows that Sir John Boteourt, who owned the manor of Great Bradley, Suffolk, appointed Robert Botetourt as rector at Great Bradley, Suffolk in 1311, and Master Roger Botetourt as rector of the same place in 1316. Sir John Botetourt, 1st Lord Botetourt, also had three additional brothers, Ralph Botetourt, who joined his father, Guy Botetourt, Knt., and Guy's wife, Ada, in fines dated 1296-7 and 1297-8 (see Rye Short Cal. Feet of Fines for Norfolk 1 (1885): 149, 151); Guy Botetourt, who accompanied his brother, Sir John, to Scotland in 1298 (see Gough Scotland in 1298 (1888): 22. 68, 166) and Thomas Botetourt, who in 1300 was owed a debt as "Thomas son of Guy Botetourt." (see National Archives, C241/35/295). In 1305-6 Thomas made a settlement of the manor of Cranworth, Norfolk, and property in Wood Rising, Norfolk on his parents, Guy and Ada Botetourt (see Rye Short Cal Feet of Fines for Norfolk 2 (1886): 230). In 1307 Thomas Botetourt, a subdeacon, was the pluralist rector of Tivetshall, Norfolk and Euston and Troston, Suffolk (see Blomefield Essay towards a Top. Hist. of Norfolk 1 (1739): 138; 2 (1739): 880); Tivetshall, Norfolk is the place where John Botetourt's wife, Maud, and his servants were expelled from the inn in 1318 by the Abbot of Sc. Edmunds and other men (see above). Taken together, the various pieces of evidence, the passage of lands, and the close association of these individuals make it clear that Sir John, Master Roger, Robert, Guy, Ralph, and Master Thomas Botetourt were all sons of Sir Guy Botetourt, Knt. (died c.1316), of Effingham, Norfolk, and his wife, Ada For further particulars regarding Sir Guy Botetourt (died c.1316), and his wife, Ada, see Blomefield Essay towards a Top. Hist. of Norfolk 1 (1739): 625; Blomefield Essay towards a Top. Hist. of Norfolk 11 (1810): 102, 106, 133; Annual Rpt. of the Deputy Keeper 42 (1881): 678; Rye Short Cal.

For further particulars regarding Sir John Botetourt's younger brothers, Master Roger (son of Guy) Botetourt, a priest, who occurs variously from 1294 to 1330/1, holding the benefices of Thompson, Norfolk, and Great Wigston, Leicestershire, and Robert Botetourt, a priest, who occurs variously from 1286/89 to 1311, holding the benefices of Caulebourne, Hampshire and Fomcett, Norfolk, see Potts Liber Cantabtigiensis (1855): 337; Rye Short CaL of Feet of Fines for Norfolk 2 (1886): 282, Willis & Clark Architectural Hist. of the Univ. of Cambridge 1 (1886): 162; Rye Short CaL Feet of Fines for Norfolk 2 (1886): 282; C.P.R. 1321-1324 (1904): 245; Feudal Aids 3 (1904): 458; TAG 63 (1988): 153; National Archives, C 241/77/28, C 241/101/124. Finally, Mr. Craig in his Botetourt article in TAG 63 (1988): 146 (chart), 151 identified "John le Botetourt," brother of William son of Ralph de Saham, clerk, who occurs in a Norfolk pleading dated 1307 as being the same person as Sir John Botetourt, 1st Lord Botetourt; however, the person in the 1307 pleading appears to be a separate and distinct individual from Sir John Botetourt, as he was neither a knight or a baron [see Blomefield Essay towards a Top. Hist. of Norfolk 10 (1809): 199; Rye Short Cal. Feet of Fines for Norfolk 1 (1885): 138].

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

1. “Royal Ancestry: A Study in Colonial & Medieval Families,” Douglas Richardson (2013):
“MAUD FITZ THOMAS, born about 1269-72 (aged 26 in 1295, aged 30 in 1302). She married before June 1282 JOHN BOTETOURT (or BUTETURTE, BOUTECOURTE, BOTECOURT, BUTECOURT), Knt., of Little Effingham and Upton, Norfolk, Great Bradley, Suffolk, etc., and, in right of his wife, of Mendlesham, Suffolk, Bromham, Cardington, Dilewick, Renhold, and Wootton, Bedfordshire, Linslade, Buckinghamshire, Hamerton, Huntingdonshire, Shelsley Beauchamp, Worcestershire, etc., Admiral of the North Fleet, Warden of the Forest of Dean and Constable of St. Briayels Castle, 1291-1308, Governor of Framlingham Castle, son and heir of Guy Botetourt, Knt., of Little Effingham, Cantley, Cranworth, Fishley, Kimberley, Upton, and Woodrising, Norfolk, by his wife, Ada. They had four sons, Thomas, Knt., John, K.B., Otes, Knt., and Robert, and three daughters, Joan, Ada, and Elizabeth. He began his household career as a falconer in the 1270s. He first campaigned in Wales in 1282 as a squire of the household. His wife, Maud, was co-heiress in 1283 to her brother, Otes Fitz Thomas, and sole heiress in 1285 to her sister, Joan, wife of Guy Ferre, by which she inherited the hereditary office of coiner of the Mint, together with the manors of Mendlesham, Suffolk, Belchamp Otton, Gestingthorpe, and Gosfield, Essex, Woodmancote, Gloucestershire, Hamerton, Huntingdonshire, Shelsley Beauchamp, Worcestershire, and a one-third share of the barony of Bedford, Bedfordshire. In 1286 he claimed view of frankpledge and free warren in Hamerton, Huntingdonshire. Sometime in the period, 1291-1302, Maud was heiress to her cousin, Joan, daughter of Hugh Fitz Otes, Knt., by which she inherited the manor of Isetthampstead (in Chesham), Buckinghamshire. In 1292-3 he was a justice of gaol delivery in Warwickshire and Leicestershire. In 1293 he and his wife Maud his wife quitclaimed to the Abbot of Colchester their right to the advowson of the church of Hamerton, Huntingdonshire. In 1294 when the king faced the threat of French galleys raiding the south coast of England, he appointed two household knights, William de Leyboume and John Botetourt as captain and sub-captain of the fleet. In the following year they were described as admirals - the first use of the term in England. In 1296 he commanded 94 ships taken from ports between Harwich and King's Lynn, the great majority from Yarmouth. In 1298 and 1299 he served on four commissions of oyer and terminer. In 1298 he had letters of protection for one year, he then going to Scotland. He was accompanied in that campaign by his younger brother, Guy Botetourt, and his valet, William Botetourt. In 1300 he complained William de Wolcherchehaw, taverner, beat one of his carters and did "other enormities;" the defendant came into court and pledged a cask of wine to him. He was present at the Siege of Caerlaverock in 1300; the metrical chronicler of that siege described him as "light of heart and doing good to all." The same year he was appointed one of three commissioners to inquire into cases of exportation of sterling money, gold and silver, plate, wool, etc., and the exchange of the same for base coin which was imported into England and unlawfully changed. He signed the Barons' letter to Pope Boniface VIII in 1301. In 1304 he led a raid into Nithsdale with 130 cavalry and 1,770 infantry. The same year the king ordered him to assist Robert de Brus, then on the English side, in transporting one great engine in preparation of the siege train for the siege of Stirling in Scotland. He was summoned to Parliament from 13 July 1305 to 13 Sept. 1324, by writs directed Jobanni Botetourt, whereby he may be held to have become Lord Botetourt. In 1305 he was appointed one of the justices of trailbaston. The same year he was sent to treat with the Scots on the affairs of that kingdom. In 1306 he enrolled himself as performing the service of one knight in Scotland, but in fact he had a contingent of three knights and eleven squires with him. In 1307 he again commanded a raid against the Scots. Sometime before 1309-10, he and his wife, Maud, conveyed land in Linslade, Buckinghamshire to William Rous. In 1309-10 William Fitz Walter conveyed the manor of Great Bradley, Suffolk to him and his wife, Maud. In 1310 he obtained a license to alienate lands and rents in Mendlesham, Suffolk in mot twain to the value of 100s. for a chaplain to celebrate in Mendlesham church. In 1311 he and his wife, Maud, were granted the reversion of the manors of Fulbourn, Cambridgeshire and Great Carbrooke, Norfolk by Baldwin de Manners, Knt., who died childless in 1320. John sold the former manor to William la Zouche Mortimer, Knt., Lord Zouche, and Alice his wife in 1323; the latter manor was held in 1327 by John Botetourt's son-in-law, William le Latimer. In 1312 John Botetourt and several others were granted letters of safe-conduct by the king to confer in London with Arnold, Cardinal of St. Prisca, and Louis, Count of Evreux, who were sent to help effect a reconciliation between King Edward II and the disaffected earls. In 1314 he commanded the fleet employed in the expedition against Scotland. The same year Peter de Burgate, Knt., released all his right in the manor of Mendlesham, Suffolk to him and his wife, Maud. In 1315 he complained that those recruited for his company were "feeble chaps, not strong enough, not properly dressed, and lacking bows and arrows." In 1316 he presented his brother, Master Roger Botetourt, as rector of Great Bradley, Suffolk. In 1318 he again presented to the church of Great Bradley, Suffolk. The same year he and his wife, Maud, complained that Richard, Abbot of St. Edmunds, William de Cleye, and many others came to Tivetshall, Norfolk, where Maud and some of the servants of the said John were lodged, maliciously raised a hue and cry against them, expelled the said Maud and the servants from the inn, carried away the goods of the said John, and assaulted the said servants. Either he or his grandson, John Botetourt, was heir sometime after 1318-19 to his brother, William Botetourt, by which he inherited the manor of Cantley, Norfolk. In 1319 he and his wife, Maud, sold the manor of Woodmancote, Gloucestershire to Robert de Swynburn. In 1320 he obtained a license to alienate one acre of land in Fishley, Norfolk, together with the advowson of a moiety of the church of Fishley, Norfolk, to the Prior and Convent of St. Mary's, Weybridge, and for them to appropriate the said moiety, to find a chaplain to celebrate divine services for the soul of the said John and the souls of his ancestors. In 1321 he and his wife, Maud, sold the manor of Shelsley Beauchamp, Worcestershire to John de Wysham, Knt., and his wife, Hawise de Poynings; in 1322-3 he conveyed the manor and advowson of the church of Little Effingham, Norfolk to the same couple. John joined the rebellion of Thomas, Earl of Lancaster, and fought at the Battle of Boroughbridge 16 March 1321/2. He was subsequently fined £1000, and received a pardon 8 October 1322. In 1323 he and his wife, Maud, conveyed the manor of Isenhampstead Chesham), Buckinghamshire to Hugh le Despenser the younger, but, on Hugh's execution and attainder in 1326, the manor escheated to the crown and custody was re-granted to Maud Botetourt. In 1323-4 they made a settlement of the manor of Great Carbrooke, Norfolk, evidently in connection with the marriage of their daughter, Elizabeth, to William le Latimer, as William was lord of this manor in 1327. In 1324 John paid the Italian bankers, the Peruzzi, 100 marks, evidently in payment of a debt he owed to Hugh le Despenser the younger. SIR JOHN BOTETOURT, 1st Lord Botetourt, died 25 Nov. 1324. In 1325 his widow, Maud, sued Andrew de Bures, Robert de Bures and his wife, Hillary, and John de Wysham and his wife, Hawise, for one third part of the manor of Little Effingham, Norfolk, which she claimed as her dower. In 1327 she likewise sued Robert son of John Botetourt, John de Wynchestre and others regarding unspecified land in Suffolk. In 1328 she obtained a license to enfeoff Master William Artoys of a messuage and land in Renhold, Bedfordshire. On 12 Nov. 1328 she obtained a license to convey to her daughter and son-in-law, Elizabeth and William le Latimer, her share of the barony of Bedford, Bedfordshire, including the manors of Bromham, Cardington, Dilewick, Renhold, and Wootton, Bedfordshire. Maud, Lady Botetourt, died shortly before 27 Nov. 1328. In May 1329 her son-in-law, William le Latimer, was pardoned for having previously purchased from her without license the hereditary office of coiner of the Mint. In 1330 John and Maud's son, Otes Botetourt, obtained a license to alienate in mortrnain a messuage, 30 acres of land, and 30s. in rent in Mendlesham, Suffolk to a chaplain to celebrate divine services in the parish church of Mendlesham for the souls of his parents.
(Note: F.N. Craig published a brilliant article entitled "The Parentage of John Botetourt (died 1324)" in TAG 63 (1988): 145-153, which article provides compelling evidence that Sir John Botetourt, 1st Lord Botetourt, is the son and heir of Sir Guy Botetourt (died c.1316), of Effingham, Norfolk, by his wife, Ada (living 1311-12). Specifically, Mr. Craig showed that Sir Guy Botetourt had the manors of Effingham (his chief seat), Uphall (in Cantley), and Upton, Norfolk, all of which passed to Sir John Botetourt, 1st Lord Botetourt, or his descendants. For additional evidence of Sir John Botetourt's parentage, see Byerly & Byerly Recs. of the Wardrobe & Household 1286-1289 (1986): 258, which mentions Robert brother of John Botetourt. This Robert appears to be the same individual as Robert son of Guy Botetourt, a priest, who occurs in 1306; a Roger son of Guy Botetourt, also a priest, is named in 1306 [see Papal Regs.: Letters 2 (1895): 15, 211. In 1294 Roger Botetourt and his brother Robert [presumably the same individuals] jointly acquired a messuage in St. Michael's parish, Cambridge in 1294 [see Cooper Mems. of Cambridge (1861): 215]. In 1306 the king gave license to Master Roger and Robert Boutetourt to enclose the lane on the south side of their dwelling-place in Cambridge [see C.P.R. 1301-4307 (1898): 435]. Master Roger later sold this property alone in 1324 as "Master Roger, the son of the noble man Sir Guy Buttetourte." [see Cooper, ibid.; Procs. Soc. of Antiquaries of London 2nd Ser. 4 (1869): 200-201; Rye Pedes Finium or Fines Rd Cambridge (1891): 90]. Master Roger is doubtless the same person as the Roger Botetourt who was rector of Little Effingham, Norfolk, which advowson was held by Sir John Botetourt, 1st Lord Botetourt, in 1317 (see Watkin Inv. of Church Goods temp. Edward III (Norfolk Rec. Soc. 19(2)) (1948): 137, 215). Robert Botetourt also served as a feoffee in 1311, when Sir Baldwin de Manners settled the reversion of two manors on Sir John Botetourt and Maud his wife [see Blomefield Essay towards a Top. Hist. of Norfolk 1 (1739): 608; Banks Baronies in Fee 2 (1843): 101 (sub Manners); Rye Pedes Finium or Fines Rel. Cambridge (1891): 891. Records further shows that Sir John Boteourt, who owned the manor of Great Bradley, Suffolk, appointed Robert Botetourt as rector at Great Bradley, Suffolk in 1311, and Master Roger Botetourt as rector of the same place in 1316. Sir John Botetourt, 1st Lord Botetourt, also had three additional brothers, Ralph Botetourt, who joined his father, Guy Botetourt, Knt., and Guy's wife, Ada, in fines dated 1296-7 and 1297-8 (see Rye Short Cal. Feet of Fines for Norfolk 1 (1885): 149, 151); Guy Botetourt, who accompanied his brother, Sir John, to Scotland in 1298 (see Gough Scotland in 1298 (1888): 22. 68, 166) and Thomas Botetourt, who in 1300 was owed a debt as "Thomas son of Guy Botetourt." (see National Archives, C241/35/295). In 1305-6 Thomas made a settlement of the manor of Cranworth, Norfolk, and property in Wood Rising, Norfolk on his parents, Guy and Ada Botetourt (see Rye Short Cal Feet of Fines for Norfolk 2 (1886): 230). In 1307 Thomas Botetourt, a subdeacon, was the pluralist rector of Tivetshall, Norfolk and Euston and Troston, Suffolk (see Blomefield Essay towards a Top. Hist. of Norfolk 1 (1739): 138; 2 (1739): 880); Tivetshall, Norfolk is the place where John Botetourt's wife, Maud, and his servants were expelled from the inn in 1318 by the Abbot of Sc. Edmunds and other men (see above). Taken together, the various pieces of evidence, the passage of lands, and the close association of these individuals make it clear that Sir John, Master Roger, Robert, Guy, Ralph, and Master Thomas Botetourt were all sons of Sir Guy Botetourt, Knt. (died c.1316), of Effingham, Norfolk, and his wife, Ada For further particulars regarding Sir Guy Botetourt (died c.1316), and his wife, Ada, see Blomefield Essay towards a Top.

For further particulars regarding Sir John Botetourt's younger brothers, Master Roger (son of Guy) Botetourt, a priest, who occurs variously from 1294 to 1330/1, holding the benefices of Thompson, Norfolk, and Great Wigston, Leicestershire, and Robert Botetourt, a priest, who occurs variously from 1286/89 to 1311, holding the benefices of Caulebourne, Hampshire and Fomcett, Norfolk, see Potts Liber Cantabtigiensis (1855): 337; Rye Short CaL of Feet of Fines for Norfolk 2 (1886): 282, Willis & Clark Architectural Hist. of the Univ. of Cambridge 1 (1886): 162; Rye Short CaL Feet of Fines for Norfolk 2 (1886): 282; C.P.R. 1321-1324 (1904): 245; Feudal Aids 3 (1904): 458; TAG 63 (1988): 153; National Archives, C 241/77/28, C 241/101/124. Finally, Mr. Craig in his Botetourt article in TAG 63 (1988): 146 (chart), 151 identified "John le Botetourt," brother of William son of Ralph de Saham, clerk, who occurs in a Norfolk pleading dated 1307 as being the same person as Sir John Botetourt, 1st Lord Botetourt; however, the person in the 1307 pleading appears to be a separate and distinct individual from Sir John Botetourt, as he was neither a knight or a baron [see Blomefield Essay towards a Top. Hist. of Norfolk 10 (1809): 199; Rye Short Cal. Feet of Fines for Norfolk 1 (1885): 138].

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

1. “Royal Ancestry: A Study in Colonial & Medieval Families,” Douglas Richardson (2013):
“MAUD FITZ THOMAS, born about 1269-72 (aged 26 in 1295, aged 30 in 1302). She married before June 1282 JOHN BOTETOURT (or BUTETURTE, BOUTECOURTE, BOTECOURT, BUTECOURT), Knt., of Little Effingham and Upton, Norfolk, Great Bradley, Suffolk, etc., and, in right of his wife, of Mendlesham, Suffolk, Bromham, Cardington, Dilewick, Renhold, and Wootton, Bedfordshire, Linslade, Buckinghamshire, Hamerton, Huntingdonshire, Shelsley Beauchamp, Worcestershire, etc., Admiral of the North Fleet, Warden of the Forest of Dean and Constable of St. Briayels Castle, 1291-1308, Governor of Framlingham Castle, son and heir of Guy Botetourt, Knt., of Little Effingham, Cantley, Cranworth, Fishley, Kimberley, Upton, and Woodrising, Norfolk, by his wife, Ada. They had four sons, Thomas, Knt., John, K.B., Otes, Knt., and Robert, and three daughters, Joan, Ada, and Elizabeth. He began his household career as a falconer in the 1270s. He first campaigned in Wales in 1282 as a squire of the household. His wife, Maud, was co-heiress in 1283 to her brother, Otes Fitz Thomas, and sole heiress in 1285 to her sister, Joan, wife of Guy Ferre, by which she inherited the hereditary office of coiner of the Mint, together with the manors of Mendlesham, Suffolk, Belchamp Otton, Gestingthorpe, and Gosfield, Essex, Woodmancote, Gloucestershire, Hamerton, Huntingdonshire, Shelsley Beauchamp, Worcestershire, and a one-third share of the barony of Bedford, Bedfordshire. In 1286 he claimed view of frankpledge and free warren in Hamerton, Huntingdonshire. Sometime in the period, 1291-1302, Maud was heiress to her cousin, Joan, daughter of Hugh Fitz Otes, Knt., by which she inherited the manor of Isetthampstead (in Chesham), Buckinghamshire. In 1292-3 he was a justice of gaol delivery in Warwickshire and Leicestershire. In 1293 he and his wife Maud his wife quitclaimed to the Abbot of Colchester their right to the advowson of the church of Hamerton, Huntingdonshire. In 1294 when the king faced the threat of French galleys raiding the south coast of England, he appointed two household knights, William de Leyboume and John Botetourt as captain and sub-captain of the fleet. In the following year they were described as admirals - the first use of the term in England. In 1296 he commanded 94 ships taken from ports between Harwich and King's Lynn, the great majority from Yarmouth. In 1298 and 1299 he served on four commissions of oyer and terminer. In 1298 he had letters of protection for one year, he then going to Scotland. He was accompanied in that campaign by his younger brother, Guy Botetourt, and his valet, William Botetourt. In 1300 he complained William de Wolcherchehaw, taverner, beat one of his carters and did "other enormities;" the defendant came into court and pledged a cask of wine to him. He was present at the Siege of Caerlaverock in 1300; the metrical chronicler of that siege described him as "light of heart and doing good to all." The same year he was appointed one of three commissioners to inquire into cases of exportation of sterling money, gold and silver, plate, wool, etc., and the exchange of the same for base coin which was imported into England and unlawfully changed. He signed the Barons' letter to Pope Boniface VIII in 1301. In 1304 he led a raid into Nithsdale with 130 cavalry and 1,770 infantry. The same year the king ordered him to assist Robert de Brus, then on the English side, in transporting one great engine in preparation of the siege train for the siege of Stirling in Scotland. He was summoned to Parliament from 13 July 1305 to 13 Sept. 1324, by writs directed Jobanni Botetourt, whereby he may be held to have become Lord Botetourt. In 1305 he was appointed one of the justices of trailbaston. The same year he was sent to treat with the Scots on the affairs of that kingdom. In 1306 he enrolled himself as performing the service of one knight in Scotland, but in fact he had a contingent of three knights and eleven squires with him. In 1307 he again commanded a raid against the Scots. Sometime before 1309-10, he and his wife, Maud, conveyed land in Linslade, Buckinghamshire to William Rous. In 1309-10 William Fitz Walter conveyed the manor of Great Bradley, Suffolk to him and his wife, Maud. In 1310 he obtained a license to alienate lands and rents in Mendlesham, Suffolk in mot twain to the value of 100s. for a chaplain to celebrate in Mendlesham church. In 1311 he and his wife, Maud, were granted the reversion of the manors of Fulbourn, Cambridgeshire and Great Carbrooke, Norfolk by Baldwin de Manners, Knt., who died childless in 1320. John sold the former manor to William la Zouche Mortimer, Knt., Lord Zouche, and Alice his wife in 1323; the latter manor was held in 1327 by John Botetourt's son-in-law, William le Latimer. In 1312 John Botetourt and several others were granted letters of safe-conduct by the king to confer in London with Arnold, Cardinal of St. Prisca, and Louis, Count of Evreux, who were sent to help effect a reconciliation between King Edward II and the disaffected earls. In 1314 he commanded the fleet employed in the expedition against Scotland. The same year Peter de Burgate, Knt., released all his right in the manor of Mendlesham, Suffolk to him and his wife, Maud. In 1315 he complained that those recruited for his company were "feeble chaps, not strong enough, not properly dressed, and lacking bows and arrows." In 1316 he presented his brother, Master Roger Botetourt, as rector of Great Bradley, Suffolk. In 1318 he again presented to the church of Great Bradley, Suffolk. The same year he and his wife, Maud, complained that Richard, Abbot of St. Edmunds, William de Cleye, and many others came to Tivetshall, Norfolk, where Maud and some of the servants of the said John were lodged, maliciously raised a hue and cry against them, expelled the said Maud and the servants from the inn, carried away the goods of the said John, and assaulted the said servants. Either he or his grandson, John Botetourt, was heir sometime after 1318-19 to his brother, William Botetourt, by which he inherited the manor of Cantley, Norfolk. In 1319 he and his wife, Maud, sold the manor of Woodmancote, Gloucestershire to Robert de Swynburn. In 1320 he obtained a license to alienate one acre of land in Fishley, Norfolk, together with the advowson of a moiety of the church of Fishley, Norfolk, to the Prior and Convent of St. Mary's, Weybridge, and for them to appropriate the said moiety, to find a chaplain to celebrate divine services for the soul of the said John and the souls of his ancestors. In 1321 he and his wife, Maud, sold the manor of Shelsley Beauchamp, Worcestershire to John de Wysham, Knt., and his wife, Hawise de Poynings; in 1322-3 he conveyed the manor and advowson of the church of Little Effingham, Norfolk to the same couple. John joined the rebellion of Thomas, Earl of Lancaster, and fought at the Battle of Boroughbridge 16 March 1321/2. He was subsequently fined £1000, and received a pardon 8 October 1322. In 1323 he and his wife, Maud, conveyed the manor of Isenhampstead Chesham), Buckinghamshire to Hugh le Despenser the younger, but, on Hugh's execution and attainder in 1326, the manor escheated to the crown and custody was re-granted to Maud Botetourt. In 1323-4 they made a settlement of the manor of Great Carbrooke, Norfolk, evidently in connection with the marriage of their daughter, Elizabeth, to William le Latimer, as William was lord of this manor in 1327. In 1324 John paid the Italian bankers, the Peruzzi, 100 marks, evidently in payment of a debt he owed to Hugh le Despenser the younger. SIR JOHN BOTETOURT, 1st Lord Botetourt, died 25 Nov. 1324. In 1325 his widow, Maud, sued Andrew de Bures, Robert de Bures and his wife, Hillary, and John de Wysham and his wife, Hawise, for one third part of the manor of Little Effingham, Norfolk, which she claimed as her dower. In 1327 she likewise sued Robert son of John Botetourt, John de Wynchestre and others regarding unspecified land in Suffolk. In 1328 she obtained a license to enfeoff Master William Artoys of a messuage and land in Renhold, Bedfordshire. On 12 Nov. 1328 she obtained a license to convey to her daughter and son-in-law, Elizabeth and William le Latimer, her share of the barony of Bedford, Bedfordshire, including the manors of Bromham, Cardington, Dilewick, Renhold, and Wootton, Bedfordshire. Maud, Lady Botetourt, died shortly before 27 Nov. 1328. In May 1329 her son-in-law, William le Latimer, was pardoned for having previously purchased from her without license the hereditary office of coiner of the Mint. In 1330 John and Maud's son, Otes Botetourt, obtained a license to alienate in mortrnain a messuage, 30 acres of land, and 30s. in rent in Mendlesham, Suffolk to a chaplain to celebrate divine services in the parish church of Mendlesham for the souls of his parents.
(Note: F.N. Craig published a brilliant article entitled "The Parentage of John Botetourt (died 1324)" in TAG 63 (1988): 145-153, which article provides compelling evidence that Sir John Botetourt, 1st Lord Botetourt, is the son and heir of Sir Guy Botetourt (died c.1316), of Effingham, Norfolk, by his wife, Ada (living 1311-12). Specifically, Mr. Craig showed that Sir Guy Botetourt had the manors of Effingham (his chief seat), Uphall (in Cantley), and Upton, Norfolk, all of which passed to Sir John Botetourt, 1st Lord Botetourt, or his descendants. For additional evidence of Sir John Botetourt's parentage, see Byerly & Byerly Recs. of the Wardrobe & Household 1286-1289 (1986): 258, which mentions Robert brother of John Botetourt. This Robert appears to be the same individual as Robert son of Guy Botetourt, a priest, who occurs in 1306; a Roger son of Guy Botetourt, also a priest, is named in 1306 [see Papal Regs.: Letters 2 (1895): 15, 211. In 1294 Roger Botetourt and his brother Robert [presumably the same individuals] jointly acquired a messuage in St. Michael's parish, Cambridge in 1294 [see Cooper Mems. of Cambridge (1861): 215]. In 1306 the king gave license to Master Roger and Robert Boutetourt to enclose the lane on the south side of their dwelling-place in Cambridge [see C.P.R. 1301-4307 (1898): 435]. Master Roger later sold this property alone in 1324 as "Master Roger, the son of the noble man Sir Guy Buttetourte." [see Cooper, ibid.; Procs. Soc. of Antiquaries of London 2nd Ser. 4 (1869): 200-201; Rye Pedes Finium or Fines Rd Cambridge (1891): 90]. Master Roger is doubtless the same person as the Roger Botetourt who was rector of Little Effingham, Norfolk, which advowson was held by Sir John Botetourt, 1st Lord Botetourt, in 1317 (see Watkin Inv. of Church Goods temp. Edward III (Norfolk Rec. Soc. 19(2)) (1948): 137, 215). Robert Botetourt also served as a feoffee in 1311, when Sir Baldwin de Manners settled the reversion of two manors on Sir John Botetourt and Maud his wife [see Blomefield Essay towards a Top. Hist. of Norfolk 1 (1739): 608; Banks Baronies in Fee 2 (1843): 101 (sub Manners); Rye Pedes Finium or Fines Rel. Cambridge (1891): 891. Records further shows that Sir John Boteourt, who owned the manor of Great Bradley, Suffolk, appointed Robert Botetourt as rector at Great Bradley, Suffolk in 1311, and Master Roger Botetourt as rector of the same place in 1316. Sir John Botetourt, 1st Lord Botetourt, also had three additional brothers, Ralph Botetourt, who joined his father, Guy Botetourt, Knt., and Guy's wife, Ada, in fines dated 1296-7 and 1297-8 (see Rye Short Cal. Feet of Fines for Norfolk 1 (1885): 149, 151); Guy Botetourt, who accompanied his brother, Sir John, to Scotland in 1298 (see Gough Scotland in 1298 (1888): 22. 68, 166) and Thomas Botetourt, who in 1300 was owed a debt as "Thomas son of Guy Botetourt." (see National Archives, C241/35/295). In 1305-6 Thomas made a settlement of the manor of Cranworth, Norfolk, and property in Wood Rising, Norfolk on his parents, Guy and Ada Botetourt (see Rye Short Cal Feet of Fines for Norfolk 2 (1886): 230). In 1307 Thomas Botetourt, a subdeacon, was the pluralist rector of Tivetshall, Norfolk and Euston and Troston, Suffolk (see Blomefield Essay towards a Top. Hist. of Norfolk 1 (1739): 138; 2 (1739): 880); Tivetshall, Norfolk is the place where John Botetourt's wife, Maud, and his servants were expelled from the inn in 1318 by the Abbot of Sc. Edmunds and other men (see above). Taken together, the various pieces of evidence, the passage of lands, and the close association of these individuals make it clear that Sir John, Master Roger, Robert, Guy, Ralph, and Master Thomas Botetourt were all sons of Sir Guy Botetourt, Knt. (died c.1316), of Effingham, Norfolk, and his wife, Ada For further particulars regarding Sir Guy Botetourt (died c.1316), and his wife, Ada, see Blomefield Essay towards a Top.

Finally, Mr. Craig in his Botetourt article in TAG 63 (1988): 146 (chart), 151 identified "John le Botetourt," brother of William son of Ralph de Saham, clerk, who occurs in a Norfolk pleading dated 1307 as being the same person as Sir John Botetourt, 1st Lord Botetourt; however, the person in the 1307 pleading appears to be a separate and distinct individual from Sir John Botetourt, as he was neither a knight or a baron [see Blomefield Essay towards a Top.

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

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

For further particulars regarding Sir John Botetourt's younger brothers, Master Roger (son of Guy) Botetourt, a priest, who occurs variously from 1294 to 1330/1, holding the benefices of Thompson, Norfolk, and Great Wigston, Leicestershire, and Robert Botetourt, a priest, who occurs variously from 1286/89 to 1311, holding the benefices of Caulebourne, Hampshire and Fomcett, Norfolk, see Potts Liber Cantabtigiensis (1855): 337; Rye Short CaL of Feet of Fines for Norfolk 2 (1886): 282, Willis & Clark Architectural Hist. of the Univ. of Cambridge 1 (1886): 162; Rye Short CaL Feet of Fines for Norfolk 2 (1886): 282; C.P.R. 1321-1324 (1904): 245; Feudal Aids 3 (1904): 458; TAG 63 (1988): 153; National Archives, C 241/77/28, C 241/101/124. Finally, Mr. Craig in his Botetourt article in TAG 63 (1988): 146 (chart), 151 identified "John le Botetourt," brother of William son of Ralph de Saham, clerk, who occurs in a Norfolk pleading dated 1307 as being the same person as Sir John Botetourt, 1st Lord Botetourt; however, the person in the 1307 pleading appears to be a separate and distinct individual from Sir John Botetourt, as he was neither a knight or a baron [see Blomefield Essay towards a Top. Hist. of Norfolk 10 (1809): 199; Rye Short Cal. Feet of Fines for Norfolk 1 (1885): 138].

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

Children of Maud Fitz Thomas, by John Botetourt, Knt.:
i. THOMAS BOTETOURT, Knt. [see next].
ii. JOHN BOTETOURT, KB., of Belchamp Otton, Essex, married MARGARET ___ [see HELION 9].
iii. OTES BOTETOURT, Knt., of Mendlesham, Suffolk, and Hamerton, Huntingdonshire, younger son, adult by 1329. He married SIBYL ___, allegedly the daughter and heiress of Deincourt. They had one son, John, Knt. In 1329 he acknowledged that he owed 43 marks to John de Saint Philibert; to be levied, in default of payment, of his lands and chattels in Leicestershire. In 1330 he obtained a license to alienate a messuage, 30 acres of land and 30s. in rent in Mendlesham, Suffolk to a chaplain to celebrate divine services in the parish church for the souls of his parents, John and Maud Botetourt. SIR OTES BOTETOURT died 11 Nov. 1345. His widow, Sibyl, married (2nd) before 25 Sept. 1349 (date of commission) RICHARD TRULOVE (or TREWELOVE), Knt., King's yeoman, and, in right of his wife, of Mendlesham, Suffolk.

“WILLIAM LE LATIMER, Knt., 3rd Lord Latimer, of Scampston and Danby, Helpringham, and Thornton (in Pickering Lythe), Yorkshire, Sutton, Bedfordshire, Gameslby and Unthank, Cumberland, Bozeat, Corby, and Sutton, Northamptonshire, Wotton, Surrey, Terrington, Yorkshire, etc., son and heir by his father's 1st marriage, born about 1301 (aged 26 in 1327). He married c.1323 (date of fine) ELIZABETH BOTETOURT, daughter of John Botetourt, Knt., 1st Lord Botetourt, by Maud, daughter of Thomas Fitz Otes, Knt. [see BOTETOURT 8 for her ancestry]. Her maritagium evidently included the manor of Great Carbrooke, Norfolk. They had three sons, William, K.G. [4th Lord Latimer], Thomas, and Robert, Knt., and one daughter, Elizabeth (wife of Ralph de Ufford). He was summoned to Parliament from 7 August 1327 to 1 April 1335, by writs directed Willelmo le Latymer. In 1328 her mother, Maud Botetourt, obtained a license to convey to William and Elizabeth his wife her share of the barony of Bedford, Bedfordshire, including the manors of Bromham, Cardington, Dilwick, Renhold, and Wootton, Bedfordshire. In 1329 William was pardoned for having previously purchased without license the hereditary office of coiner of the Mint from his late mother-in-law, Maud Botetourt. In 1330 the king granted the manor of Isenharnpstead (in Chesharn), Buckinghamshire to William and his wife, Elizabeth, which manor had formerly been given to William and Elizabeth by her mother, Maud, from her inheritance. In 1335 he complained that Thomas de la Grove broke his park at Isenharnpstead Chesharn), Buckingharnpshire, hunted and carried away his deer, and committed other trespasses. WILLIAM LATIMER, 3rd Lord Latimer, died shortly before 2 Nov. 1335. He was still unburied 10 Dec. 1335, when the king ordered that 500 marks of his goods be delivered to his widow, Elizabeth, and other executors. Elizabeth married (2na) before 20 August 1337 (date of pardon for marrying without the king's license) ROBERT DE UFFORD, Lord Ufford, 1st son and heir apparent of Robert de Ufford, K.G., 1st Earl of Suffolk, Lord Ufford, by Margaret, daughter of Walter de Norwich, Knt., Chief Baron of the Exchequer, Lord High Treasurer. They had no issue. In 1340 he was taken prisoner at the Siege of Lisle, and sent in irons to Paris. He was subsequently distinguished at the Siege of Lochrnaben Castle in 1341. He was summoned to Parliament 25 Feb. 1341/2, by writ directed Roberto de Ufford, le fitz. In 1343 he acknowledged that he owed a debt of 100 marks to William de Clinton, Earl of Huntingdon, to be levied, in default of payment, of his lands and chattels in co. Suffolk. He nominated attorneys going beyond seas 10 July 1344. ROBERT DE UFFORD, Lord Ufford, was living in October 1344, and died sometime before 19 June 1362. In 1346 Elizabeth was ordered to provide six men-at-arms and 12 archers for the Siege of Calais. In 1352 she exchanged the manor of Cardington, Bedfordshire for the manor of Renhold, Bedfordshire with her cousin, John Picot, Knt. She presented to the church of Corby, Northamptonshire in 1365 and 1368. In 1373-4 she and six others, presumably her feoffees, were granted permission to grant land in Bedford to the Prior and convent of Newnham, Bedfordshire. She also granted lands in Salpho Stagsden and Goldington, Bedfordshire to the same priory. Elizabeth, Lady Latimer, died 11 April 1384. She left a will dated 21 March 1383/4, proved 26 April 1384, requesting burial in the Priory church of Newnham, Bedfordshire.

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

However, contemporary records indicate that Nichole was actually the daughter and heiress of William Rysinge, of Pensthorpe, Norfolk (see Chichele Reg. of Henry Chichele 3 (Canterbury & York Soc. 42) (1946): 424; Watkin Inv. of Church Goods temp.

1. “Royal Ancestry: A Study in Colonial & Medieval Families,” Douglas Richardson (2013):
“MAUD FITZ THOMAS, born about 1269-72 (aged 26 in 1295, aged 30 in 1302). She married before June 1282 JOHN BOTETOURT (or BUTETURTE, BOUTECOURTE, BOTECOURT, BUTECOURT), Knt., of Little Effingham and Upton, Norfolk, Great Bradley, Suffolk, etc., and, in right of his wife, of Mendlesham, Suffolk, Bromham, Cardington, Dilewick, Renhold, and Wootton, Bedfordshire, Linslade, Buckinghamshire, Hamerton, Huntingdonshire, Shelsley Beauchamp, Worcestershire, etc., Admiral of the North Fleet, Warden of the Forest of Dean and Constable of St. Briayels Castle, 1291-1308, Governor of Framlingham Castle, son and heir of Guy Botetourt, Knt., of Little Effingham, Cantley, Cranworth, Fishley, Kimberley, Upton, and Woodrising, Norfolk, by his wife, Ada. They had four sons, Thomas, Knt., John, K.B., Otes, Knt., and Robert, and three daughters, Joan, Ada, and Elizabeth. He began his household career as a falconer in the 1270s. He first campaigned in Wales in 1282 as a squire of the household. His wife, Maud, was co-heiress in 1283 to her brother, Otes Fitz Thomas, and sole heiress in 1285 to her sister, Joan, wife of Guy Ferre, by which she inherited the hereditary office of coiner of the Mint, together with the manors of Mendlesham, Suffolk, Belchamp Otton, Gestingthorpe, and Gosfield, Essex, Woodmancote, Gloucestershire, Hamerton, Huntingdonshire, Shelsley Beauchamp, Worcestershire, and a one-third share of the barony of Bedford, Bedfordshire. In 1286 he claimed view of frankpledge and free warren in Hamerton, Huntingdonshire. Sometime in the period, 1291-1302, Maud was heiress to her cousin, Joan, daughter of Hugh Fitz Otes, Knt., by which she inherited the manor of Isetthampstead (in Chesham), Buckinghamshire. In 1292-3 he was a justice of gaol delivery in Warwickshire and Leicestershire. In 1293 he and his wife Maud his wife quitclaimed to the Abbot of Colchester their right to the advowson of the church of Hamerton, Huntingdonshire. In 1294 when the king faced the threat of French galleys raiding the south coast of England, he appointed two household knights, William de Leyboume and John Botetourt as captain and sub-captain of the fleet. In the following year they were described as admirals - the first use of the term in England. In 1296 he commanded 94 ships taken from ports between Harwich and King's Lynn, the great majority from Yarmouth. In 1298 and 1299 he served on four commissions of oyer and terminer. In 1298 he had letters of protection for one year, he then going to Scotland. He was accompanied in that campaign by his younger brother, Guy Botetourt, and his valet, William Botetourt. In 1300 he complained William de Wolcherchehaw, taverner, beat one of his carters and did "other enormities;" the defendant came into court and pledged a cask of wine to him. He was present at the Siege of Caerlaverock in 1300; the metrical chronicler of that siege described him as "light of heart and doing good to all." The same year he was appointed one of three commissioners to inquire into cases of exportation of sterling money, gold and silver, plate, wool, etc., and the exchange of the same for base coin which was imported into England and unlawfully changed. He signed the Barons' letter to Pope Boniface VIII in 1301. In 1304 he led a raid into Nithsdale with 130 cavalry and 1,770 infantry. The same year the king ordered him to assist Robert de Brus, then on the English side, in transporting one great engine in preparation of the siege train for the siege of Stirling in Scotland. He was summoned to Parliament from 13 July 1305 to 13 Sept. 1324, by writs directed Jobanni Botetourt, whereby he may be held to have become Lord Botetourt. In 1305 he was appointed one of the justices of trailbaston. The same year he was sent to treat with the Scots on the affairs of that kingdom. In 1306 he enrolled himself as performing the service of one knight in Scotland, but in fact he had a contingent of three knights and eleven squires with him. In 1307 he again commanded a raid against the Scots. Sometime before 1309-10, he and his wife, Maud, conveyed land in Linslade, Buckinghamshire to William Rous. In 1309-10 William Fitz Walter conveyed the manor of Great Bradley, Suffolk to him and his wife, Maud. In 1310 he obtained a license to alienate lands and rents in Mendlesham, Suffolk in mot twain to the value of 100s. for a chaplain to celebrate in Mendlesham church. In 1311 he and his wife, Maud, were granted the reversion of the manors of Fulbourn, Cambridgeshire and Great Carbrooke, Norfolk by Baldwin de Manners, Knt., who died childless in 1320. John sold the former manor to William la Zouche Mortimer, Knt., Lord Zouche, and Alice his wife in 1323; the latter manor was held in 1327 by John Botetourt's son-in-law, William le Latimer. In 1312 John Botetourt and several others were granted letters of safe-conduct by the king to confer in London with Arnold, Cardinal of St. Prisca, and Louis, Count of Evreux, who were sent to help effect a reconciliation between King Edward II and the disaffected earls. In 1314 he commanded the fleet employed in the expedition against Scotland. The same year Peter de Burgate, Knt., released all his right in the manor of Mendlesham, Suffolk to him and his wife, Maud. In 1315 he complained that those recruited for his company were "feeble chaps, not strong enough, not properly dressed, and lacking bows and arrows." In 1316 he presented his brother, Master Roger Botetourt, as rector of Great Bradley, Suffolk. In 1318 he again presented to the church of Great Bradley, Suffolk. The same year he and his wife, Maud, complained that Richard, Abbot of St. Edmunds, William de Cleye, and many others came to Tivetshall, Norfolk, where Maud and some of the servants of the said John were lodged, maliciously raised a hue and cry against them, expelled the said Maud and the servants from the inn, carried away the goods of the said John, and assaulted the said servants. Either he or his grandson, John Botetourt, was heir sometime after 1318-19 to his brother, William Botetourt, by which he inherited the manor of Cantley, Norfolk. In 1319 he and his wife, Maud, sold the manor of Woodmancote, Gloucestershire to Robert de Swynburn. In 1320 he obtained a license to alienate one acre of land in Fishley, Norfolk, together with the advowson of a moiety of the church of Fishley, Norfolk, to the Prior and Convent of St. Mary's, Weybridge, and for them to appropriate the said moiety, to find a chaplain to celebrate divine services for the soul of the said John and the souls of his ancestors. In 1321 he and his wife, Maud, sold the manor of Shelsley Beauchamp, Worcestershire to John de Wysham, Knt., and his wife, Hawise de Poynings; in 1322-3 he conveyed the manor and advowson of the church of Little Effingham, Norfolk to the same couple. John joined the rebellion of Thomas, Earl of Lancaster, and fought at the Battle of Boroughbridge 16 March 1321/2. He was subsequently fined £1000, and received a pardon 8 October 1322. In 1323 he and his wife, Maud, conveyed the manor of Isenhampstead Chesham), Buckinghamshire to Hugh le Despenser the younger, but, on Hugh's execution and attainder in 1326, the manor escheated to the crown and custody was re-granted to Maud Botetourt. In 1323-4 they made a settlement of the manor of Great Carbrooke, Norfolk, evidently in connection with the marriage of their daughter, Elizabeth, to William le Latimer, as William was lord of this manor in 1327. In 1324 John paid the Italian bankers, the Peruzzi, 100 marks, evidently in payment of a debt he owed to Hugh le Despenser the younger. SIR JOHN BOTETOURT, 1st Lord Botetourt, died 25 Nov. 1324. In 1325 his widow, Maud, sued Andrew de Bures, Robert de Bures and his wife, Hillary, and John de Wysham and his wife, Hawise, for one third part of the manor of Little Effingham, Norfolk, which she claimed as her dower. In 1327 she likewise sued Robert son of John Botetourt, John de Wynchestre and others regarding unspecified land in Suffolk. In 1328 she obtained a license to enfeoff Master William Artoys of a messuage and land in Renhold, Bedfordshire. On 12 Nov. 1328 she obtained a license to convey to her daughter and son-in-law, Elizabeth and William le Latimer, her share of the barony of Bedford, Bedfordshire, including the manors of Bromham, Cardington, Dilewick, Renhold, and Wootton, Bedfordshire. Maud, Lady Botetourt, died shortly before 27 Nov. 1328. In May 1329 her son-in-law, William le Latimer, was pardoned for having previously purchased from her without license the hereditary office of coiner of the Mint. In 1330 John and Maud's son, Otes Botetourt, obtained a license to alienate in mortrnain a messuage, 30 acres of land, and 30s. in rent in Mendlesham, Suffolk to a chaplain to celebrate divine services in the parish church of Mendlesham for the souls of his parents.
(Note: F.N. Craig published a brilliant article entitled "The Parentage of John Botetourt (died 1324)" in TAG 63 (1988): 145-153, which article provides compelling evidence that Sir John Botetourt, 1st Lord Botetourt, is the son and heir of Sir Guy Botetourt (died c.1316), of Effingham, Norfolk, by his wife, Ada (living 1311-12). Specifically, Mr. Craig showed that Sir Guy Botetourt had the manors of Effingham (his chief seat), Uphall (in Cantley), and Upton, Norfolk, all of which passed to Sir John Botetourt, 1st Lord Botetourt, or his descendants. For additional evidence of Sir John Botetourt's parentage, see Byerly & Byerly Recs. of the Wardrobe & Household 1286-1289 (1986): 258, which mentions Robert brother of John Botetourt. This Robert appears to be the same individual as Robert son of Guy Botetourt, a priest, who occurs in 1306; a Roger son of Guy Botetourt, also a priest, is named in 1306 [see Papal Regs.: Letters 2 (1895): 15, 211. In 1294 Roger Botetourt and his brother Robert [presumably the same individuals] jointly acquired a messuage in St. Michael's parish, Cambridge in 1294 [see Cooper Mems. of Cambridge (1861): 215]. In 1306 the king gave license to Master Roger and Robert Boutetourt to enclose the lane on the south side of their dwelling-place in Cambridge [see C.P.R. 1301-4307 (1898): 435]. Master Roger later sold this property alone in 1324 as "Master Roger, the son of the noble man Sir Guy Buttetourte." [see Cooper, ibid.; Procs. Soc. of Antiquaries of London 2nd Ser. 4 (1869): 200-201; Rye Pedes Finium or Fines Rd Cambridge (1891): 90]. Master Roger is doubtless the same person as the Roger Botetourt who was rector of Little Effingham, Norfolk, which advowson was held by Sir John Botetourt, 1st Lord Botetourt, in 1317 (see Watkin Inv. of Church Goods temp. Edward III (Norfolk Rec. Soc. 19(2)) (1948): 137, 215). Robert Botetourt also served as a feoffee in 1311, when Sir Baldwin de Manners settled the reversion of two manors on Sir John Botetourt and Maud his wife [see Blomefield Essay towards a Top. Hist. of Norfolk 1 (1739): 608; Banks Baronies in Fee 2 (1843): 101 (sub Manners); Rye Pedes Finium or Fines Rel. Cambridge (1891): 891. Records further shows that Sir John Boteourt, who owned the manor of Great Bradley, Suffolk, appointed Robert Botetourt as rector at Great Bradley, Suffolk in 1311, and Master Roger Botetourt as rector of the same place in 1316. Sir John Botetourt, 1st Lord Botetourt, also had three additional brothers, Ralph Botetourt, who joined his father, Guy Botetourt, Knt., and Guy's wife, Ada, in fines dated 1296-7 and 1297-8 (see Rye Short Cal. Feet of Fines for Norfolk 1 (1885): 149, 151); Guy Botetourt, who accompanied his brother, Sir John, to Scotland in 1298 (see Gough Scotland in 1298 (1888): 22. 68, 166) and Thomas Botetourt, who in 1300 was owed a debt as "Thomas son of Guy Botetourt." (see National Archives, C241/35/295). In 1305-6 Thomas made a settlement of the manor of Cranworth, Norfolk, and property in Wood Rising, Norfolk on his parents, Guy and Ada Botetourt (see Rye Short Cal Feet of Fines for Norfolk 2 (1886): 230). In 1307 Thomas Botetourt, a subdeacon, was the pluralist rector of Tivetshall, Norfolk and Euston and Troston, Suffolk (see Blomefield Essay towards a Top. Hist. of Norfolk 1 (1739): 138; 2 (1739): 880); Tivetshall, Norfolk is the place where John Botetourt's wife, Maud, and his servants were expelled from the inn in 1318 by the Abbot of Sc. Edmunds and other men (see above). Taken together, the various pieces of evidence, the passage of lands, and the close association of these individuals make it clear that Sir John, Master Roger, Robert, Guy, Ralph, and Master Thomas Botetourt were all sons of Sir Guy Botetourt, Knt. (died c.1316), of Effingham, Norfolk, and his wife, Ada For further particulars regarding Sir Guy Botetourt (died c.1316), and his wife, Ada, see Blomefield Essay towards a Top.

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

2. “Royal Ancestry: A Study in Colonial & Medieval Families,” Douglas Richardson (2013):
“WILLIAM LE LATIMER, Knt., 3rd Lord Latimer, of Scampston and Danby, Helpringham, and Thornton (in Pickering Lythe), Yorkshire, Sutton, Bedfordshire, Gameslby and Unthank, Cumberland, Bozeat, Corby, and Sutton, Northamptonshire, Wotton, Surrey, Terrington, Yorkshire, etc., son and heir by his father's 1st marriage, born about 1301 (aged 26 in 1327). He married c.1323 (date of fine) ELIZABETH BOTETOURT, daughter of John Botetourt, Knt., 1st Lord Botetourt, by Maud, daughter of Thomas Fitz Otes, Knt. [see BOTETOURT 8 for her ancestry]. Her maritagium evidently included the manor of Great Carbrooke, Norfolk. They had three sons, William, K.G. [4th Lord Latimer], Thomas, and Robert, Knt., and one daughter, Elizabeth (wife of Ralph de Ufford). He was summoned to Parliament from 7 August 1327 to 1 April 1335, by writs directed Willelmo le Latymer. In 1328 her mother, Maud Botetourt, obtained a license to convey to William and Elizabeth his wife her share of the barony of Bedford, Bedfordshire, including the manors of Bromham, Cardington, Dilwick, Renhold, and Wootton, Bedfordshire. In 1329 William was pardoned for having previously purchased without license the hereditary office of coiner of the Mint from his late mother-in-law, Maud Botetourt. In 1330 the king granted the manor of Isenharnpstead (in Chesharn), Buckinghamshire to William and his wife, Elizabeth, which manor had formerly been given to William and Elizabeth by her mother, Maud, from her inheritance. In 1335 he complained that Thomas de la Grove broke his park at Isenharnpstead Chesharn), Buckingharnpshire, hunted and carried away his deer, and committed other trespasses. WILLIAM LATIMER, 3rd Lord Latimer, died shortly before 2 Nov. 1335. He was still unburied 10 Dec. 1335, when the king ordered that 500 marks of his goods be delivered to his widow, Elizabeth, and other executors. Elizabeth married (2na) before 20 August 1337 (date of pardon for marrying without the king's license) ROBERT DE UFFORD, Lord Ufford, 1st son and heir apparent of Robert de Ufford, K.G., 1st Earl of Suffolk, Lord Ufford, by Margaret, daughter of Walter de Norwich, Knt., Chief Baron of the Exchequer, Lord High Treasurer. They had no issue. In 1340 he was taken prisoner at the Siege of Lisle, and sent in irons to Paris. He was subsequently distinguished at the Siege of Lochrnaben Castle in 1341. He was summoned to Parliament 25 Feb. 1341/2, by writ directed Roberto de Ufford, le fitz. In 1343 he acknowledged that he owed a debt of 100 marks to William de Clinton, Earl of Huntingdon, to be levied, in default of payment, of his lands and chattels in co. Suffolk. He nominated attorneys going beyond seas 10 July 1344. ROBERT DE UFFORD, Lord Ufford, was living in October 1344, and died sometime before 19 June 1362. In 1346 Elizabeth was ordered to provide six men-at-arms and 12 archers for the Siege of Calais. In 1352 she exchanged the manor of Cardington, Bedfordshire for the manor of Renhold, Bedfordshire with her cousin, John Picot, Knt. She presented to the church of Corby, Northamptonshire in 1365 and 1368. In 1373-4 she and six others, presumably her feoffees, were granted permission to grant land in Bedford to the Prior and convent of Newnham, Bedfordshire. She also granted lands in Salpho Stagsden and Goldington, Bedfordshire to the same priory. Elizabeth, Lady Latimer, died 11 April 1384. She left a will dated 21 March 1383/4, proved 26 April 1384, requesting burial in the Priory church of Newnham, Bedfordshire.

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

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

For further particulars regarding Sir John Botetourt's younger brothers, Master Roger (son of Guy) Botetourt, a priest, who occurs variously from 1294 to 1330/1, holding the benefices of Thompson, Norfolk, and Great Wigston, Leicestershire, and Robert Botetourt, a priest, who occurs variously from 1286/89 to 1311, holding the benefices of Caulebourne, Hampshire and Fomcett, Norfolk, see Potts Liber Cantabtigiensis (1855): 337; Rye Short CaL of Feet of Fines for Norfolk 2 (1886): 282, Willis & Clark Architectural Hist. of the Univ. of Cambridge 1 (1886): 162; Rye Short CaL Feet of Fines for Norfolk 2 (1886): 282; C.P.R. 1321-1324 (1904): 245; Feudal Aids 3 (1904): 458; TAG 63 (1988): 153; National Archives, C 241/77/28, C 241/101/124. Finally, Mr. Craig in his Botetourt article in TAG 63 (1988): 146 (chart), 151 identified "John le Botetourt," brother of William son of Ralph de Saham, clerk, who occurs in a Norfolk pleading dated 1307 as being the same person as Sir John Botetourt, 1st Lord Botetourt; however, the person in the 1307 pleading appears to be a separate and distinct individual from Sir John Botetourt, as he was neither a knight or a baron [see Blomefield Essay towards a Top. Hist. of Norfolk 10 (1809): 199; Rye Short Cal. Feet of Fines for Norfolk 1 (1885): 138].

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

iii. OTES BOTETOURT, Knt., of Mendlesham, Suffolk, and Hamerton, Huntingdonshire, younger son, adult by 1329. He married SIBYL ___, allegedly the daughter and heiress of Deincourt. They had one son, John, Knt. In 1329 he acknowledged that he owed 43 marks to John de Saint Philibert; to be levied, in default of payment, of his lands and chattels in Leicestershire. In 1330 he obtained a license to alienate a messuage, 30 acres of land and 30s. in rent in Mendlesham, Suffolk to a chaplain to celebrate divine services in the parish church for the souls of his parents, John and Maud Botetourt. SIR OTES BOTETOURT died 11 Nov. 1345. His widow, Sibyl, married (2nd) before 25 Sept. 1349 (date of commission) RICHARD TRULOVE (or TREWELOVE), Knt., King's yeoman, and, in right of his wife, of Mendlesham, Suffolk. On 25 Sept. 1349 a commission of oyer and terrniner was appointed on complaint of Richard Trulove, who alleged that John de Wynchestre, Peter de Hoo, parson of the church of Ode, and Robert de Stokton and others broke his close at Mendlesham, Suffolk, carried away his goods, and assaulted his men and servants. In 1349 he was pardoned of the king's suit against him for the death of John de Wynchestre, and of any consequent outlawry.

2. “Royal Ancestry: A Study in Colonial & Medieval Families,” Douglas Richardson (2013):
“WILLIAM LE LATIMER, Knt., 3rd Lord Latimer, of Scampston and Danby, Helpringham, and Thornton (in Pickering Lythe), Yorkshire, Sutton, Bedfordshire, Gameslby and Unthank, Cumberland, Bozeat, Corby, and Sutton, Northamptonshire, Wotton, Surrey, Terrington, Yorkshire, etc., son and heir by his father's 1st marriage, born about 1301 (aged 26 in 1327). He married c.1323 (date of fine) ELIZABETH BOTETOURT, daughter of John Botetourt, Knt., 1st Lord Botetourt, by Maud, daughter of Thomas Fitz Otes, Knt. [see BOTETOURT 8 for her ancestry]. Her maritagium evidently included the manor of Great Carbrooke, Norfolk. They had three sons, William, K.G. [4th Lord Latimer], Thomas, and Robert, Knt., and one daughter, Elizabeth (wife of Ralph de Ufford). He was summoned to Parliament from 7 August 1327 to 1 April 1335, by writs directed Willelmo le Latymer. In 1328 her mother, Maud Botetourt, obtained a license to convey to William and Elizabeth his wife her share of the barony of Bedford, Bedfordshire, including the manors of Bromham, Cardington, Dilwick, Renhold, and Wootton, Bedfordshire. In 1329 William was pardoned for having previously purchased without license the hereditary office of coiner of the Mint from his late mother-in-law, Maud Botetourt. In 1330 the king granted the manor of Isenharnpstead (in Chesharn), Buckinghamshire to William and his wife, Elizabeth, which manor had formerly been given to William and Elizabeth by her mother, Maud, from her inheritance. In 1335 he complained that Thomas de la Grove broke his park at Isenharnpstead Chesharn), Buckingharnpshire, hunted and carried away his deer, and committed other trespasses. WILLIAM LATIMER, 3rd Lord Latimer, died shortly before 2 Nov. 1335. He was still unburied 10 Dec. 1335, when the king ordered that 500 marks of his goods be delivered to his widow, Elizabeth, and other executors. Elizabeth married (2na) before 20 August 1337 (date of pardon for marrying without the king's license) ROBERT DE UFFORD, Lord Ufford, 1st son and heir apparent of Robert de Ufford, K.G., 1st Earl of Suffolk, Lord Ufford, by Margaret, daughter of Walter de Norwich, Knt., Chief Baron of the Exchequer, Lord High Treasurer. They had no issue. In 1340 he was taken prisoner at the Siege of Lisle, and sent in irons to Paris. He was subsequently distinguished at the Siege of Lochrnaben Castle in 1341. He was summoned to Parliament 25 Feb. 1341/2, by writ directed Roberto de Ufford, le fitz. In 1343 he acknowledged that he owed a debt of 100 marks to William de Clinton, Earl of Huntingdon, to be levied, in default of payment, of his lands and chattels in co. Suffolk. He nominated attorneys going beyond seas 10 July 1344. ROBERT DE UFFORD, Lord Ufford, was living in October 1344, and died sometime before 19 June 1362. In 1346 Elizabeth was ordered to provide six men-at-arms and 12 archers for the Siege of Calais. In 1352 she exchanged the manor of Cardington, Bedfordshire for the manor of Renhold, Bedfordshire with her cousin, John Picot, Knt. She presented to the church of Corby, Northamptonshire in 1365 and 1368. In 1373-4 she and six others, presumably her feoffees, were granted permission to grant land in Bedford to the Prior and convent of Newnham, Bedfordshire. She also granted lands in Salpho Stagsden and Goldington, Bedfordshire to the same priory. Elizabeth, Lady Latimer, died 11 April 1384. She left a will dated 21 March 1383/4, proved 26 April 1384, requesting burial in the Priory church of Newnham, Bedfordshire.

6437 RESEARCH_NOTES:
1. “Royal Ancestry: A Study in Colonial & Medieval Families,” Douglas Richardson (2013):
“MAUD OF ENGLAND, sometimes styled "Lady of the English" (rarely "Queen of the English"), daughter and heiress, born at London about 8 Feb. 1102 (8 years old in 1110). She married (1st) at Mainz 7 January 1114 HEINRICH (or HENRY) V, Holy Roman Emperor, son of Heinrich IV, Holy Roman Emperor, by Bertha, daughter of Otto, Count of Savoy. They had no issue. HEINRICH V died at Utrecht 23 May 1125. Maud was declared heir presumptive to her father in 1126. She married (2nd) Le Mans, Maine 17 June 1128 GEOFFREY PLANTAGENET, (nicknamed le Bel), Count of Anjou and Maine, Knt., son and heir of Foulques V le Jeune, Count of Anjou, King of Jerusalem, by his 1st wife, Eremburge, daughter and heiress of Helie, Count of Maine. He was born 24 August 1113. They had three sons, Henry (II) [King of England, Duke of Normandy and Aquitaine, Count of Anjou], Geoffrey [Count of Anjou and Nantes], and William Longespée. By an unknown mistress (or mistresses), Geoffrey also had one illegitimate son, Hamelin [5th Earl of Surrey], and two illegitimate daughters, Emma and Mary [Abbess of Shaftesbury]. On her father, King Henry I's death in 1135, she at once entered Normandy to claim her inheritance. The border districts submitted to her, but England chose her cousin, Stephen, for its king, and Normandy soon followed suit. The following year, Geoffrey gave Ambrières, Gorron, and Châtilon-sur-Colmont to Juhel de Mayenne, on condition that he help obtain the inheritance of Geoffrey's wife, Maud. In 1139 Maud landed in England with 140 knights, where she was besieged at Arundel Castle by King Stephen. In the civil war which ensued, Stephen was captured at Lincoln in Feb. 1141 and imprisoned at Bristol. A legatine council of the English church held at Winchester in April 1141 declared Stephen deposed and proclaimed Maud "Lady of the English." Stephen was subsequently released from prison and had himself recrowned on the anniversary of his first coronation. During 1142 and 1143, Geoffrey secured all of Normandy west and south of the Seine, and, on 14 Jan. 1144, he crossed the Seine and entered Rouen. He assumed the title of Duke of Normandy in summer 1144. In 1144 he founded an Augustine priory at Château-l'Ermitage in Anjou. Geoffrey held the duchy until 1149, when he and Maud conjointly ceded it to their son, Henry, which cession was formally ratified by King Louis VII of France the following year. GEOFFREY, Count of Anjou and Maine, died at Château-du-Loir 7 Sept. 1151, and was buried in St. Julien's, Le Mans, Maine. In 1153 the Treaty of Westminster allowed Stephen should remain King of England for life and that Maud's son, Henry, should succeed him. MAUD, late Empress of Almain, died at Rouen, Normandy 10 Sept. 1167, and was buried at Bec Abbey, Normandy. At her death, her wealth was distributed to the poor, and to various hospitals, churches, and monasteries.

He was knighted by Thibaut, Count of Blois, in 1150. In 1158 he gave the nuns of St. Mary of Mortain 40 shillings of Anjou annually from his manor of Ste. Mère Eglise [Manche].

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

Child of Emma, by Dafydd ab Owain:
a. OWAIN AP DAFYDD, son and heir. In 1204 King John of England ordered that the Sheriff of Warwickshire value Robert de Harcourt's manor of Elmdon, Warwickshire, and to give 13 librates therein to Owain ap Dafydd, in exchange for Owain's land of Ellesmere, Shropshire. About 1204 Owain confirmed the premises of Stockett (in Ellesmere), Shropshire to hold to Haughmond Abbey under himself and his heirs. In 1205 the king assigned him 15 librates of land in Waltham, Lincolnshire. In 1212 the king granted Owain ap Dafydd and his cousin, Gruffudd ap Rhodri, the three cantrefs of Rhos, Rhufoniog, and Dyffryn Clwyd, and also promising them Arfon, Arllechwedd, and Lleyn, if they could win them. It does not appear, however, that this grant had any practical effect. Eyton Antiqs. of Shropshire 10 (1860): 234-236, 246, 249-251. Lloyd Hist. of Wales 2 (1912): 589-590, 616, 640.

1. “Royal Ancestry: A Study in Colonial & Medieval Families,” Douglas Richardson (2013):
“MAUD OF ENGLAND, sometimes styled "Lady of the English" (rarely "Queen of the English"), daughter and heiress, born at London about 8 Feb. 1102 (8 years old in 1110). She married (1st) at Mainz 7 January 1114 HEINRICH (or HENRY) V, Holy Roman Emperor, son of Heinrich IV, Holy Roman Emperor, by Bertha, daughter of Otto, Count of Savoy. They had no issue. HEINRICH V died at Utrecht 23 May 1125. Maud was declared heir presumptive to her father in 1126. She married (2nd) Le Mans, Maine 17 June 1128 GEOFFREY PLANTAGENET, (nicknamed le Bel), Count of Anjou and Maine, Knt., son and heir of Foulques V le Jeune, Count of Anjou, King of Jerusalem, by his 1st wife, Eremburge, daughter and heiress of Helie, Count of Maine. He was born 24 August 1113. They had three sons, Henry (II) [King of England, Duke of Normandy and Aquitaine, Count of Anjou], Geoffrey [Count of Anjou and Nantes], and William Longespée. By an unknown mistress (or mistresses), Geoffrey also had one illegitimate son, Hamelin [5th Earl of Surrey], and two illegitimate daughters, Emma and Mary [Abbess of Shaftesbury]. On her father, King Henry I's death in 1135, she at once entered Normandy to claim her inheritance. The border districts submitted to her, but England chose her cousin, Stephen, for its king, and Normandy soon followed suit. The following year, Geoffrey gave Ambrières, Gorron, and Châtilon-sur-Colmont to Juhel de Mayenne, on condition that he help obtain the inheritance of Geoffrey's wife, Maud. In 1139 Maud landed in England with 140 knights, where she was besieged at Arundel Castle by King Stephen. In the civil war which ensued, Stephen was captured at Lincoln in Feb. 1141 and imprisoned at Bristol. A legatine council of the English church held at Winchester in April 1141 declared Stephen deposed and proclaimed Maud "Lady of the English." Stephen was subsequently released from prison and had himself recrowned on the anniversary of his first coronation. During 1142 and 1143, Geoffrey secured all of Normandy west and south of the Seine, and, on 14 Jan. 1144, he crossed the Seine and entered Rouen. He assumed the title of Duke of Normandy in summer 1144. In 1144 he founded an Augustine priory at Château-l'Ermitage in Anjou. Geoffrey held the duchy until 1149, when he and Maud conjointly ceded it to their son, Henry, which cession was formally ratified by King Louis VII of France the following year. GEOFFREY, Count of Anjou and Maine, died at Château-du-Loir 7 Sept. 1151, and was buried in St. Julien's, Le Mans, Maine. In 1153 the Treaty of Westminster allowed Stephen should remain King of England for life and that Maud's son, Henry, should succeed him. MAUD, late Empress of Almain, died at Rouen, Normandy 10 Sept. 1167, and was buried at Bec Abbey, Normandy. At her death, her wealth was distributed to the poor, and to various hospitals, churches, and monasteries.

He was knighted by Thibaut, Count of Blois, in 1150. In 1158 he gave the nuns of St. Mary of Mortain 40 shillings of Anjou annually from his manor of Ste. Mère Eglise [Manche].

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

Child of Emma, by Dafydd ab Owain:
a. OWAIN AP DAFYDD, son and heir. In 1204 King John of England ordered that the Sheriff of Warwickshire value Robert de Harcourt's manor of Elmdon, Warwickshire, and to give 13 librates therein to Owain ap Dafydd, in exchange for Owain's land of Ellesmere, Shropshire. About 1204 Owain confirmed the premises of Stockett (in Ellesmere), Shropshire to hold to Haughmond Abbey under himself and his heirs. In 1205 the king assigned him 15 librates of land in Waltham, Lincolnshire. In 1212 the king granted Owain ap Dafydd and his cousin, Gruffudd ap Rhodri, the three cantrefs of Rhos, Rhufoniog, and Dyffryn Clwyd, and also promising them Arfon, Arllechwedd, and Lleyn, if they could win them. It does not appear, however, that this grant had any practical effect. Eyton Antiqs. of Shropshire 10 (1860): 234-236, 246, 249-251. Lloyd Hist. of Wales 2 (1912): 589-590, 616, 640.

“MAUD OF ENGLAND, sometimes styled "Lady of the English" (rarely "Queen of the English"), daughter and heiress, born at London about 8 Feb. 1102 (8 years old in 1110). She married (1st) at Mainz 7 January 1114 HEINRICH (or HENRY) V, Holy Roman Emperor, son of Heinrich IV, Holy Roman Emperor, by Bertha, daughter of Otto, Count of Savoy. They had no issue. HEINRICH V died at Utrecht 23 May 1125. Maud was declared heir presumptive to her father in 1126. She married (2nd) Le Mans, Maine 17 June 1128 GEOFFREY PLANTAGENET, (nicknamed le Bel), Count of Anjou and Maine, Knt., son and heir of Foulques V le Jeune, Count of Anjou, King of Jerusalem, by his 1st wife, Eremburge, daughter and heiress of Helie, Count of Maine. He was born 24 August 1113. They had three sons, Henry (II) [King of England, Duke of Normandy and Aquitaine, Count of Anjou], Geoffrey [Count of Anjou and Nantes], and William Longespée. By an unknown mistress (or mistresses), Geoffrey also had one illegitimate son, Hamelin [5th Earl of Surrey], and two illegitimate daughters, Emma and Mary [Abbess of Shaftesbury]. On her father, King Henry I's death in 1135, she at once entered Normandy to claim her inheritance. The border districts submitted to her, but England chose her cousin, Stephen, for its king, and Normandy soon followed suit. The following year, Geoffrey gave Ambrières, Gorron, and Châtilon-sur-Colmont to Juhel de Mayenne, on condition that he help obtain the inheritance of Geoffrey's wife, Maud. In 1139 Maud landed in England with 140 knights, where she was besieged at Arundel Castle by King Stephen. In the civil war which ensued, Stephen was captured at Lincoln in Feb. 1141 and imprisoned at Bristol. A legatine council of the English church held at Winchester in April 1141 declared Stephen deposed and proclaimed Maud "Lady of the English." Stephen was subsequently released from prison and had himself recrowned on the anniversary of his first coronation. During 1142 and 1143, Geoffrey secured all of Normandy west and south of the Seine, and, on 14 Jan. 1144, he crossed the Seine and entered Rouen. He assumed the title of Duke of Normandy in summer 1144. In 1144 he founded an Augustine priory at Château-l'Ermitage in Anjou. Geoffrey held the duchy until 1149, when he and Maud conjointly ceded it to their son, Henry, which cession was formally ratified by King Louis VII of France the following year. GEOFFREY, Count of Anjou and Maine, died at Château-du-Loir 7 Sept. 1151, and was buried in St. Julien's, Le Mans, Maine. In 1153 the Treaty of Westminster allowed Stephen should remain King of England for life and that Maud's son, Henry, should succeed him. MAUD, late Empress of Almain, died at Rouen, Normandy 10 Sept. 1167, and was buried at Bec Abbey, Normandy. At her death, her wealth was distributed to the poor, and to various hospitals, churches, and monasteries.

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

Child of Emma, by Dafydd ab Owain:
a. OWAIN AP DAFYDD, son and heir. In 1204 King John of England ordered that the Sheriff of Warwickshire value Robert de Harcourt's manor of Elmdon, Warwickshire, and to give 13 librates therein to Owain ap Dafydd, in exchange for Owain's land of Ellesmere, Shropshire. About 1204 Owain confirmed the premises of Stockett (in Ellesmere), Shropshire to hold to Haughmond Abbey under himself and his heirs. In 1205 the king assigned him 15 librates of land in Waltham, Lincolnshire. In 1212 the king granted Owain ap Dafydd and his cousin, Gruffudd ap Rhodri, the three cantrefs of Rhos, Rhufoniog, and Dyffryn Clwyd, and also promising them Arfon, Arllechwedd, and Lleyn, if they could win them. It does not appear, however, that this grant had any practical effect. Eyton Antiqs. of Shropshire 10 (1860): 234-236, 246, 249-251. Lloyd Hist. of Wales 2 (1912): 589-590, 616, 640.

“MAUD OF ENGLAND, sometimes styled "Lady of the English" (rarely "Queen of the English"), daughter and heiress, born at London about 8 Feb. 1102 (8 years old in 1110). She married (1st) at Mainz 7 January 1114 HEINRICH (or HENRY) V, Holy Roman Emperor, son of Heinrich IV, Holy Roman Emperor, by Bertha, daughter of Otto, Count of Savoy. They had no issue. HEINRICH V died at Utrecht 23 May 1125. Maud was declared heir presumptive to her father in 1126. She married (2nd) Le Mans, Maine 17 June 1128 GEOFFREY PLANTAGENET, (nicknamed le Bel), Count of Anjou and Maine, Knt., son and heir of Foulques V le Jeune, Count of Anjou, King of Jerusalem, by his 1st wife, Eremburge, daughter and heiress of Helie, Count of Maine. He was born 24 August 1113. They had three sons, Henry (II) [King of England, Duke of Normandy and Aquitaine, Count of Anjou], Geoffrey [Count of Anjou and Nantes], and William Longespée. By an unknown mistress (or mistresses), Geoffrey also had one illegitimate son, Hamelin [5th Earl of Surrey], and two illegitimate daughters, Emma and Mary [Abbess of Shaftesbury]. On her father, King Henry I's death in 1135, she at once entered Normandy to claim her inheritance. The border districts submitted to her, but England chose her cousin, Stephen, for its king, and Normandy soon followed suit. The following year, Geoffrey gave Ambrières, Gorron, and Châtilon-sur-Colmont to Juhel de Mayenne, on condition that he help obtain the inheritance of Geoffrey's wife, Maud. In 1139 Maud landed in England with 140 knights, where she was besieged at Arundel Castle by King Stephen. In the civil war which ensued, Stephen was captured at Lincoln in Feb. 1141 and imprisoned at Bristol. A legatine council of the English church held at Winchester in April 1141 declared Stephen deposed and proclaimed Maud "Lady of the English." Stephen was subsequently released from prison and had himself recrowned on the anniversary of his first coronation. During 1142 and 1143, Geoffrey secured all of Normandy west and south of the Seine, and, on 14 Jan. 1144, he crossed the Seine and entered Rouen. He assumed the title of Duke of Normandy in summer 1144. In 1144 he founded an Augustine priory at Château-l'Ermitage in Anjou. Geoffrey held the duchy until 1149, when he and Maud conjointly ceded it to their son, Henry, which cession was formally ratified by King Louis VII of France the following year. GEOFFREY, Count of Anjou and Maine, died at Château-du-Loir 7 Sept. 1151, and was buried in St. Julien's, Le Mans, Maine. In 1153 the Treaty of Westminster allowed Stephen should remain King of England for life and that Maud's son, Henry, should succeed him. MAUD, late Empress of Almain, died at Rouen, Normandy 10 Sept. 1167, and was buried at Bec Abbey, Normandy. At her death, her wealth was distributed to the poor, and to various hospitals, churches, and monasteries.

iii. WILLIAM LONGESPEE (otherwise WILLIAM FITZ EMPRESS), Vicomte of Dieppe, of Malden, Essex, Throwley, Kent, North Luffenham, Rutland, and Acton and Oulton, Suffolk, 3rd son, born at Argentan 22 July 1136. He was knighted by Thibaut, Count of Blois, in 1150. In 1158 he gave the nuns of St. Mary of Mortain 40 shillings of Anjou annually from his manor of Ste. Mère Eglise [Manche]. In the period, 1159-63, he sought to marry Isabel de Warenne, Countess of Surrey [see WARENNE 7], widow of his cousin, William, Count of Boulogne and Mortain (son of King Stephen of England). The marriage was opposed by Archbishop Becket on grounds of affinity (he and her former husband being related in the 3rd degree of kindred). He was a benefactor of Walsingham Abbey. WILLIAM LONGESPEE died at Rouen, Normandy 30 Jan. 1163/4, and was buried there in the Cathedral. Sandford Gen. Hist. of the Kings of England (1677): 37.

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

Child of Emma, by Dafydd ab Owain:
a. OWAIN AP DAFYDD, son and heir. In 1204 King John of England ordered that the Sheriff of Warwickshire value Robert de Harcourt's manor of Elmdon, Warwickshire, and to give 13 librates therein to Owain ap Dafydd, in exchange for Owain's land of Ellesmere, Shropshire. About 1204 Owain confirmed the premises of Stockett (in Ellesmere), Shropshire to hold to Haughmond Abbey under himself and his heirs. In 1205 the king assigned him 15 librates of land in Waltham, Lincolnshire. In 1212 the king granted Owain ap Dafydd and his cousin, Gruffudd ap Rhodri, the three cantrefs of Rhos, Rhufoniog, and Dyffryn Clwyd, and also promising them Arfon, Arllechwedd, and Lleyn, if they could win them. It does not appear, however, that this grant had any practical effect. Eyton Antiqs. of Shropshire 10 (1860): 234-236, 246, 249-251. Lloyd Hist. of Wales 2 (1912): 589-590, 616, 640.

“MAUD OF ENGLAND, sometimes styled "Lady of the English" (rarely "Queen of the English"), daughter and heiress, born at London about 8 Feb. 1102 (8 years old in 1110). She married (1st) at Mainz 7 January 1114 HEINRICH (or HENRY) V, Holy Roman Emperor, son of Heinrich IV, Holy Roman Emperor, by Bertha, daughter of Otto, Count of Savoy. They had no issue. HEINRICH V died at Utrecht 23 May 1125. Maud was declared heir presumptive to her father in 1126. She married (2nd) Le Mans, Maine 17 June 1128 GEOFFREY PLANTAGENET, (nicknamed le Bel), Count of Anjou and Maine, Knt., son and heir of Foulques V le Jeune, Count of Anjou, King of Jerusalem, by his 1st wife, Eremburge, daughter and heiress of Helie, Count of Maine. He was born 24 August 1113. They had three sons, Henry (II) [King of England, Duke of Normandy and Aquitaine, Count of Anjou], Geoffrey [Count of Anjou and Nantes], and William Longespée. By an unknown mistress (or mistresses), Geoffrey also had one illegitimate son, Hamelin [5th Earl of Surrey], and two illegitimate daughters, Emma and Mary [Abbess of Shaftesbury]. On her father, King Henry I's death in 1135, she at once entered Normandy to claim her inheritance. The border districts submitted to her, but England chose her cousin, Stephen, for its king, and Normandy soon followed suit. The following year, Geoffrey gave Ambrières, Gorron, and Châtilon-sur-Colmont to Juhel de Mayenne, on condition that he help obtain the inheritance of Geoffrey's wife, Maud. In 1139 Maud landed in England with 140 knights, where she was besieged at Arundel Castle by King Stephen. In the civil war which ensued, Stephen was captured at Lincoln in Feb. 1141 and imprisoned at Bristol. A legatine council of the English church held at Winchester in April 1141 declared Stephen deposed and proclaimed Maud "Lady of the English." Stephen was subsequently released from prison and had himself recrowned on the anniversary of his first coronation. During 1142 and 1143, Geoffrey secured all of Normandy west and south of the Seine, and, on 14 Jan. 1144, he crossed the Seine and entered Rouen. He assumed the title of Duke of Normandy in summer 1144. In 1144 he founded an Augustine priory at Château-l'Ermitage in Anjou. Geoffrey held the duchy until 1149, when he and Maud conjointly ceded it to their son, Henry, which cession was formally ratified by King Louis VII of France the following year. GEOFFREY, Count of Anjou and Maine, died at Château-du-Loir 7 Sept. 1151, and was buried in St. Julien's, Le Mans, Maine. In 1153 the Treaty of Westminster allowed Stephen should remain King of England for life and that Maud's son, Henry, should succeed him. MAUD, late Empress of Almain, died at Rouen, Normandy 10 Sept. 1167, and was buried at Bec Abbey, Normandy. At her death, her wealth was distributed to the poor, and to various hospitals, churches, and monasteries.

He was knighted by Thibaut, Count of Blois, in 1150. In 1158 he gave the nuns of St. Mary of Mortain 40 shillings of Anjou annually from his manor of Ste. Mère Eglise [Manche].

The marriage was opposed by Archbishop Becket on grounds of affinity (he and her former husband being related in the 3rd degree of kindred). He was a benefactor of Walsingham Abbey.

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

Child of Emma, by Dafydd ab Owain:
a. OWAIN AP DAFYDD, son and heir. In 1204 King John of England ordered that the Sheriff of Warwickshire value Robert de Harcourt's manor of Elmdon, Warwickshire, and to give 13 librates therein to Owain ap Dafydd, in exchange for Owain's land of Ellesmere, Shropshire. About 1204 Owain confirmed the premises of Stockett (in Ellesmere), Shropshire to hold to Haughmond Abbey under himself and his heirs. In 1205 the king assigned him 15 librates of land in Waltham, Lincolnshire. In 1212 the king granted Owain ap Dafydd and his cousin, Gruffudd ap Rhodri, the three cantrefs of Rhos, Rhufoniog, and Dyffryn Clwyd, and also promising them Arfon, Arllechwedd, and Lleyn, if they could win them. It does not appear, however, that this grant had any practical effect. Eyton Antiqs. of Shropshire 10 (1860): 234-236, 246, 249-251. Lloyd Hist. of Wales 2 (1912): 589-590, 616, 640.

6442 RESEARCH_NOTES:
1. “Royal Ancestry: A Study in Colonial & Medieval Families,” Douglas Richardson (2013):
“MAUD OF ENGLAND, sometimes styled "Lady of the English" (rarely "Queen of the English"), daughter and heiress, born at London about 8 Feb. 1102 (8 years old in 1110). She married (1st) at Mainz 7 January 1114 HEINRICH (or HENRY) V, Holy Roman Emperor, son of Heinrich IV, Holy Roman Emperor, by Bertha, daughter of Otto, Count of Savoy. They had no issue. HEINRICH V died at Utrecht 23 May 1125. Maud was declared heir presumptive to her father in 1126. She married (2nd) Le Mans, Maine 17 June 1128 GEOFFREY PLANTAGENET, (nicknamed le Bel), Count of Anjou and Maine, Knt., son and heir of Foulques V le Jeune, Count of Anjou, King of Jerusalem, by his 1st wife, Eremburge, daughter and heiress of Helie, Count of Maine. He was born 24 August 1113. They had three sons, Henry (II) [King of England, Duke of Normandy and Aquitaine, Count of Anjou], Geoffrey [Count of Anjou and Nantes], and William Longespée. By an unknown mistress (or mistresses), Geoffrey also had one illegitimate son, Hamelin [5th Earl of Surrey], and two illegitimate daughters, Emma and Mary [Abbess of Shaftesbury]. On her father, King Henry I's death in 1135, she at once entered Normandy to claim her inheritance. The border districts submitted to her, but England chose her cousin, Stephen, for its king, and Normandy soon followed suit. The following year, Geoffrey gave Ambrières, Gorron, and Châtilon-sur-Colmont to Juhel de Mayenne, on condition that he help obtain the inheritance of Geoffrey's wife, Maud. In 1139 Maud landed in England with 140 knights, where she was besieged at Arundel Castle by King Stephen. In the civil war which ensued, Stephen was captured at Lincoln in Feb. 1141 and imprisoned at Bristol. A legatine council of the English church held at Winchester in April 1141 declared Stephen deposed and proclaimed Maud "Lady of the English." Stephen was subsequently released from prison and had himself recrowned on the anniversary of his first coronation. During 1142 and 1143, Geoffrey secured all of Normandy west and south of the Seine, and, on 14 Jan. 1144, he crossed the Seine and entered Rouen. He assumed the title of Duke of Normandy in summer 1144. In 1144 he founded an Augustine priory at Château-l'Ermitage in Anjou. Geoffrey held the duchy until 1149, when he and Maud conjointly ceded it to their son, Henry, which cession was formally ratified by King Louis VII of France the following year. GEOFFREY, Count of Anjou and Maine, died at Château-du-Loir 7 Sept. 1151, and was buried in St. Julien's, Le Mans, Maine. In 1153 the Treaty of Westminster allowed Stephen should remain King of England for life and that Maud's son, Henry, should succeed him. MAUD, late Empress of Almain, died at Rouen, Normandy 10 Sept. 1167, and was buried at Bec Abbey, Normandy. At her death, her wealth was distributed to the poor, and to various hospitals, churches, and monasteries.

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

Child of Emma, by Dafydd ab Owain:
a. OWAIN AP DAFYDD, son and heir. In 1204 King John of England ordered that the Sheriff of Warwickshire value Robert de Harcourt's manor of Elmdon, Warwickshire, and to give 13 librates therein to Owain ap Dafydd, in exchange for Owain's land of Ellesmere, Shropshire. About 1204 Owain confirmed the premises of Stockett (in Ellesmere), Shropshire to hold to Haughmond Abbey under himself and his heirs. In 1205 the king assigned him 15 librates of land in Waltham, Lincolnshire. In 1212 the king granted Owain ap Dafydd and his cousin, Gruffudd ap Rhodri, the three cantrefs of Rhos, Rhufoniog, and Dyffryn Clwyd, and also promising them Arfon, Arllechwedd, and Lleyn, if they could win them. It does not appear, however, that this grant had any practical effect. Eyton Antiqs. of Shropshire 10 (1860): 234-236, 246, 249-251. Lloyd Hist. of Wales 2 (1912): 589-590, 616, 640.

“MAUD OF ENGLAND, sometimes styled "Lady of the English" (rarely "Queen of the English"), daughter and heiress, born at London about 8 Feb. 1102 (8 years old in 1110). She married (1st) at Mainz 7 January 1114 HEINRICH (or HENRY) V, Holy Roman Emperor, son of Heinrich IV, Holy Roman Emperor, by Bertha, daughter of Otto, Count of Savoy. They had no issue. HEINRICH V died at Utrecht 23 May 1125. Maud was declared heir presumptive to her father in 1126. She married (2nd) Le Mans, Maine 17 June 1128 GEOFFREY PLANTAGENET, (nicknamed le Bel), Count of Anjou and Maine, Knt., son and heir of Foulques V le Jeune, Count of Anjou, King of Jerusalem, by his 1st wife, Eremburge, daughter and heiress of Helie, Count of Maine. He was born 24 August 1113. They had three sons, Henry (II) [King of England, Duke of Normandy and Aquitaine, Count of Anjou], Geoffrey [Count of Anjou and Nantes], and William Longespée. By an unknown mistress (or mistresses), Geoffrey also had one illegitimate son, Hamelin [5th Earl of Surrey], and two illegitimate daughters, Emma and Mary [Abbess of Shaftesbury]. On her father, King Henry I's death in 1135, she at once entered Normandy to claim her inheritance. The border districts submitted to her, but England chose her cousin, Stephen, for its king, and Normandy soon followed suit. The following year, Geoffrey gave Ambrières, Gorron, and Châtilon-sur-Colmont to Juhel de Mayenne, on condition that he help obtain the inheritance of Geoffrey's wife, Maud. In 1139 Maud landed in England with 140 knights, where she was besieged at Arundel Castle by King Stephen. In the civil war which ensued, Stephen was captured at Lincoln in Feb. 1141 and imprisoned at Bristol. A legatine council of the English church held at Winchester in April 1141 declared Stephen deposed and proclaimed Maud "Lady of the English." Stephen was subsequently released from prison and had himself recrowned on the anniversary of his first coronation. During 1142 and 1143, Geoffrey secured all of Normandy west and south of the Seine, and, on 14 Jan. 1144, he crossed the Seine and entered Rouen. He assumed the title of Duke of Normandy in summer 1144. In 1144 he founded an Augustine priory at Château-l'Ermitage in Anjou. Geoffrey held the duchy until 1149, when he and Maud conjointly ceded it to their son, Henry, which cession was formally ratified by King Louis VII of France the following year. GEOFFREY, Count of Anjou and Maine, died at Château-du-Loir 7 Sept. 1151, and was buried in St. Julien's, Le Mans, Maine. In 1153 the Treaty of Westminster allowed Stephen should remain King of England for life and that Maud's son, Henry, should succeed him. MAUD, late Empress of Almain, died at Rouen, Normandy 10 Sept. 1167, and was buried at Bec Abbey, Normandy. At her death, her wealth was distributed to the poor, and to various hospitals, churches, and monasteries.

He was knighted by Thibaut, Count of Blois, in 1150. In 1158 he gave the nuns of St. Mary of Mortain 40 shillings of Anjou annually from his manor of Ste. Mère Eglise [Manche]. In the period, 1159-63, he sought to marry Isabel de Warenne, Countess of Surrey [see WARENNE 7], widow of his cousin, William, Count of Boulogne and Mortain (son of King Stephen of England). The marriage was opposed by Archbishop Becket on grounds of affinity (he and her former husband being related in the 3rd degree of kindred). He was a benefactor of Walsingham Abbey.

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

Child of Emma, by Dafydd ab Owain:
a. OWAIN AP DAFYDD, son and heir. In 1204 King John of England ordered that the Sheriff of Warwickshire value Robert de Harcourt's manor of Elmdon, Warwickshire, and to give 13 librates therein to Owain ap Dafydd, in exchange for Owain's land of Ellesmere, Shropshire. About 1204 Owain confirmed the premises of Stockett (in Ellesmere), Shropshire to hold to Haughmond Abbey under himself and his heirs. In 1205 the king assigned him 15 librates of land in Waltham, Lincolnshire. In 1212 the king granted Owain ap Dafydd and his cousin, Gruffudd ap Rhodri, the three cantrefs of Rhos, Rhufoniog, and Dyffryn Clwyd, and also promising them Arfon, Arllechwedd, and Lleyn, if they could win them. It does not appear, however, that this grant had any practical effect. Eyton Antiqs. of Shropshire 10 (1860): 234-236, 246, 249-251. Lloyd Hist. of Wales 2 (1912): 589-590, 616, 640.

“MAUD OF ENGLAND, sometimes styled "Lady of the English" (rarely "Queen of the English"), daughter and heiress, born at London about 8 Feb. 1102 (8 years old in 1110). She married (1st) at Mainz 7 January 1114 HEINRICH (or HENRY) V, Holy Roman Emperor, son of Heinrich IV, Holy Roman Emperor, by Bertha, daughter of Otto, Count of Savoy. They had no issue. HEINRICH V died at Utrecht 23 May 1125. Maud was declared heir presumptive to her father in 1126. She married (2nd) Le Mans, Maine 17 June 1128 GEOFFREY PLANTAGENET, (nicknamed le Bel), Count of Anjou and Maine, Knt., son and heir of Foulques V le Jeune, Count of Anjou, King of Jerusalem, by his 1st wife, Eremburge, daughter and heiress of Helie, Count of Maine. He was born 24 August 1113. They had three sons, Henry (II) [King of England, Duke of Normandy and Aquitaine, Count of Anjou], Geoffrey [Count of Anjou and Nantes], and William Longespée. By an unknown mistress (or mistresses), Geoffrey also had one illegitimate son, Hamelin [5th Earl of Surrey], and two illegitimate daughters, Emma and Mary [Abbess of Shaftesbury]. On her father, King Henry I's death in 1135, she at once entered Normandy to claim her inheritance. The border districts submitted to her, but England chose her cousin, Stephen, for its king, and Normandy soon followed suit. The following year, Geoffrey gave Ambrières, Gorron, and Châtilon-sur-Colmont to Juhel de Mayenne, on condition that he help obtain the inheritance of Geoffrey's wife, Maud. In 1139 Maud landed in England with 140 knights, where she was besieged at Arundel Castle by King Stephen. In the civil war which ensued, Stephen was captured at Lincoln in Feb. 1141 and imprisoned at Bristol. A legatine council of the English church held at Winchester in April 1141 declared Stephen deposed and proclaimed Maud "Lady of the English." Stephen was subsequently released from prison and had himself recrowned on the anniversary of his first coronation. During 1142 and 1143, Geoffrey secured all of Normandy west and south of the Seine, and, on 14 Jan. 1144, he crossed the Seine and entered Rouen. He assumed the title of Duke of Normandy in summer 1144. In 1144 he founded an Augustine priory at Château-l'Ermitage in Anjou. Geoffrey held the duchy until 1149, when he and Maud conjointly ceded it to their son, Henry, which cession was formally ratified by King Louis VII of France the following year. GEOFFREY, Count of Anjou and Maine, died at Château-du-Loir 7 Sept. 1151, and was buried in St. Julien's, Le Mans, Maine. In 1153 the Treaty of Westminster allowed Stephen should remain King of England for life and that Maud's son, Henry, should succeed him. MAUD, late Empress of Almain, died at Rouen, Normandy 10 Sept. 1167, and was buried at Bec Abbey, Normandy. At her death, her wealth was distributed to the poor, and to various hospitals, churches, and monasteries.

He was knighted by Thibaut, Count of Blois, in 1150. In 1158 he gave the nuns of St. Mary of Mortain 40 shillings of Anjou annually from his manor of Ste. Mère Eglise [Manche]. In the period, 1159-63, he sought to marry Isabel de Warenne, Countess of Surrey [see WARENNE 7], widow of his cousin, William, Count of Boulogne and Mortain (son of King Stephen of England). The marriage was opposed by Archbishop Becket on grounds of affinity (he and her former husband being related in the 3rd degree of kindred). He was a benefactor of Walsingham Abbey.

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

Child of Emma, by Dafydd ab Owain:
a. OWAIN AP DAFYDD, son and heir. In 1204 King John of England ordered that the Sheriff of Warwickshire value Robert de Harcourt's manor of Elmdon, Warwickshire, and to give 13 librates therein to Owain ap Dafydd, in exchange for Owain's land of Ellesmere, Shropshire. About 1204 Owain confirmed the premises of Stockett (in Ellesmere), Shropshire to hold to Haughmond Abbey under himself and his heirs. In 1205 the king assigned him 15 librates of land in Waltham, Lincolnshire. In 1212 the king granted Owain ap Dafydd and his cousin, Gruffudd ap Rhodri, the three cantrefs of Rhos, Rhufoniog, and Dyffryn Clwyd, and also promising them Arfon, Arllechwedd, and Lleyn, if they could win them. It does not appear, however, that this grant had any practical effect. Eyton Antiqs. of Shropshire 10 (1860): 234-236, 246, 249-251. Lloyd Hist. of Wales 2 (1912): 589-590, 616, 640.

“MAUD OF ENGLAND, sometimes styled "Lady of the English" (rarely "Queen of the English"), daughter and heiress, born at London about 8 Feb. 1102 (8 years old in 1110). She married (1st) at Mainz 7 January 1114 HEINRICH (or HENRY) V, Holy Roman Emperor, son of Heinrich IV, Holy Roman Emperor, by Bertha, daughter of Otto, Count of Savoy. They had no issue. HEINRICH V died at Utrecht 23 May 1125. Maud was declared heir presumptive to her father in 1126. She married (2nd) Le Mans, Maine 17 June 1128 GEOFFREY PLANTAGENET, (nicknamed le Bel), Count of Anjou and Maine, Knt., son and heir of Foulques V le Jeune, Count of Anjou, King of Jerusalem, by his 1st wife, Eremburge, daughter and heiress of Helie, Count of Maine. He was born 24 August 1113. They had three sons, Henry (II) [King of England, Duke of Normandy and Aquitaine, Count of Anjou], Geoffrey [Count of Anjou and Nantes], and William Longespée. By an unknown mistress (or mistresses), Geoffrey also had one illegitimate son, Hamelin [5th Earl of Surrey], and two illegitimate daughters, Emma and Mary [Abbess of Shaftesbury]. On her father, King Henry I's death in 1135, she at once entered Normandy to claim her inheritance. The border districts submitted to her, but England chose her cousin, Stephen, for its king, and Normandy soon followed suit. The following year, Geoffrey gave Ambrières, Gorron, and Châtilon-sur-Colmont to Juhel de Mayenne, on condition that he help obtain the inheritance of Geoffrey's wife, Maud. In 1139 Maud landed in England with 140 knights, where she was besieged at Arundel Castle by King Stephen. In the civil war which ensued, Stephen was captured at Lincoln in Feb. 1141 and imprisoned at Bristol. A legatine council of the English church held at Winchester in April 1141 declared Stephen deposed and proclaimed Maud "Lady of the English." Stephen was subsequently released from prison and had himself recrowned on the anniversary of his first coronation. During 1142 and 1143, Geoffrey secured all of Normandy west and south of the Seine, and, on 14 Jan. 1144, he crossed the Seine and entered Rouen. He assumed the title of Duke of Normandy in summer 1144. In 1144 he founded an Augustine priory at Château-l'Ermitage in Anjou. Geoffrey held the duchy until 1149, when he and Maud conjointly ceded it to their son, Henry, which cession was formally ratified by King Louis VII of France the following year. GEOFFREY, Count of Anjou and Maine, died at Château-du-Loir 7 Sept. 1151, and was buried in St. Julien's, Le Mans, Maine. In 1153 the Treaty of Westminster allowed Stephen should remain King of England for life and that Maud's son, Henry, should succeed him. MAUD, late Empress of Almain, died at Rouen, Normandy 10 Sept. 1167, and was buried at Bec Abbey, Normandy. At her death, her wealth was distributed to the poor, and to various hospitals, churches, and monasteries.

He was knighted by Thibaut, Count of Blois, in 1150. In 1158 he gave the nuns of St. Mary of Mortain 40 shillings of Anjou annually from his manor of Ste. Mère Eglise [Manche]. In the period, 1159-63, he sought to marry Isabel de Warenne, Countess of Surrey [see WARENNE 7], widow of his cousin, William, Count of Boulogne and Mortain (son of King Stephen of England). The marriage was opposed by Archbishop Becket on grounds of affinity (he and her former husband being related in the 3rd degree of kindred). He was a benefactor of Walsingham Abbey.

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

Child of Emma, by Dafydd ab Owain:
a. OWAIN AP DAFYDD, son and heir. In 1204 King John of England ordered that the Sheriff of Warwickshire value Robert de Harcourt's manor of Elmdon, Warwickshire, and to give 13 librates therein to Owain ap Dafydd, in exchange for Owain's land of Ellesmere, Shropshire. About 1204 Owain confirmed the premises of Stockett (in Ellesmere), Shropshire to hold to Haughmond Abbey under himself and his heirs. In 1205 the king assigned him 15 librates of land in Waltham, Lincolnshire. In 1212 the king granted Owain ap Dafydd and his cousin, Gruffudd ap Rhodri, the three cantrefs of Rhos, Rhufoniog, and Dyffryn Clwyd, and also promising them Arfon, Arllechwedd, and Lleyn, if they could win them. It does not appear, however, that this grant had any practical effect. Eyton Antiqs. of Shropshire 10 (1860): 234-236, 246, 249-251. Lloyd Hist. of Wales 2 (1912): 589-590, 616, 640.

“HENRY nicknamed “Beauclerc,” King of England, Duke of Normandy, Count of Cotentin, 4th son, born in 1068 or 1069. He married (1st) 11 Nov. 1100 MAUD OF SCOTLAND, daughter of Malcolm III (CeannMor), King of Scots, by his 2nd wife, [Saint] Margaret, daughter of Edward Ætheling [see SCOTLAND 1 for her parentage]. She was born in 1079. They had one son, William, and one daughter, Maud. His wife, Maud, died at Westminster 1 May 1118. He married (2nd) at Windsor, Berkshire 29 Jan. 1121 ALICE (or AELIZ, ALEIDE, ALEYDA, AELIDIS, ADELIDE, ADELIDIS, ADELAIDIS, ADELIZA, ADELIZE, ATHELICE) OF LOUVAIN, daughter of Gottfried (or Godefroy) I, Duke of Lower Lorraine, Count of Louvain, by his 1st wife, Ida, daughter of Otto II, Count of Chiny. She was born about 1103. They had no issue. By various mistresses, he had eight illegitimate sons, Robert [Earl of Gloucester], Richard, Fulk, Reynold [Earl of Cornwall], Robert, Gilbert, William de Tracy, and Henry, and nine illegitimate daughters, Maud (or Mathilde) (wife of Rotrou II, Count of Perche), Alice, Maud (or Mathilde) (wife of Conan III, Duke of Brittany), Juliane (wife of Eustache de Pacy, seigneur of Breteuil and Pacy), Mabel (wife of Guillaume Gouet, seigneur of Montmirail), Constance (wife of Roscelin de Beaumont), Aline (wife of Mathieu de Montmorency), Sibyl (wife of Alexander I, King of Scots), and Isabel.* HENRY I, King of England died at Lyons-la-Forêt (near Rouen), Normandy 1 Dec. 1135, and was buried at Reading Abbey, Berkshire. His widow, Alice, married (2nd) after Dec. 1136 but later than summer 1139 WILLIAM D'AUBENEY, Earl of Lincoln, afterwards 1st Earl of Arundel (or Sussex), hereditary Chief Butler of England, Privy Councillor to King Henry I [see CLIFTON 3]. They had four sons, William [2nd Earl of Arundel or Sussex], Reiner, Henry, and Godfrey, and two daughters, Alice (wife of Jean I, Count of Eu and Alvred de Saint Martin) and Olive. He was a witness to King Stephen's 2nd Charter of Liberties in 1136. He was created Earl of Lincoln c.1138. He gave shelter to Empress Maud at Arundel Castle in 1139, but afterwards adhered to King Stephen. His earldom was transferred from Lincoln to Sussex before Christmas 1141. In his own later charters he is styled Earl of Chichester. About 1145 he witnessed a charter of Henry Hussey as "Consul Willelmo de Cicesterr." His wife, Alice, presented to the prebend of West Dean in 1150. Alice, dowager Queen of England, died as a nun at Affligem Abbey in Brabant 25 (or 26) March 1151, and was buried at Reading Abbey, Berkshire. He was influential in arranging the treaty of 1153, whereby the Crown continued with King Stephen for life, though the inheritance thereof was secured to Henry II. He subscribed his name to this instrument as "Comes Cicestrie." By grant dated c.1155, King Henry II confirmed to him as "William, Earl of Arundel" the Castle of Arundel, with the whole honour of Arundel and all its appurtenances. He served as Joint Ambassador to France and to the Pope in 1163/4. He served as Chief Ambassador with Princess Maud to Germany in 1168. He was appointed joint Commander of the royal army in Normandy in 1173. In Sept. 1173 he assisted in the defeat near Bury St. Edmunds of the Earl of Leicester. He founded Buckenham Abbey, Norfolk and Pynharn Priory, Sussex. WILLIAM D'AUBENEY, 1st Earl of Arundel (or Sussex), died at Waverley Abbey, Surrey 4 (or 12) October 1176, and was buried at Wymondham Priory, Norfolk.
[Footnote *: In 1824 the Scottish historian Chalmers stated that King Henry I of England had an illegitimate daughter, Elizabeth, who married Fergus, lord of Galloway (died 1161). [see Chalmers Caledonia 3 (1824): 250, footnote k ("Fergus [lord of Galloway] ... was a prince of some note, even at the court of Henry I. of England, is certain : as he took to wife, according to the heralds, genealogists, and chroniclers, Elizabeth, the natural daughter of Henry I.")]. Scots Peerage 4 (1907): 135-136 (sub Galloway), however, debunked Chalmers' statement, noting that the authorities quoted by Chalmers "do not bear out his assertion." Even so, other secondary sources have continued to repeat Chalmers' unfounded claim: See, for example, Mackenzie History of Galloway (1841): 167-172 ("Fergus ... married Elizabeth, illegitimate daughter of Henry I. of England"); Anderson Scottish Nation 2 (1862): 195 ("Fergus, lord of Galloway ... married Elizabeth, illegitimate daughter of Henry I. of England ..."); M'Kerlie Galloway in Ancient & Modern Times (1891): 155 ("It is necessary to repeat here that Fergus married Elizabeth, the natural daughter of King Henry I. of England."); Maxwell Hist. of Dumfries & Galloway (1896): 47-48 ("Fergus ... married Elizabeth, natural daughter of Henry I., and sister of Sibilla, who married Alexander I., brother of David."); Ramsay Angevin Empire (1903): 90, footnote 7 ("Gunfrith [i.e., Godred] was son of Olaf, by Afreca, daughter of Fergus of Galloway, by 'Elisabeth,' reputed natural daughter of Henry I."); Oram Lordship of Galloway (2000): 60; Green Henry I, King of England & Duke of Normandy (2006): Appendix I, Chart 2 (chart). Barrow Robert Bruce (1965): 36, footnote 2 notes that "Roger Howden calls Uchtred son of Fergus of Galloway a cousin of King Henry II (Gesta Henrici Secundi Benedicti Abbatis, ed. Stubbs, Rolls Ser., i, 80)," a relationship which Professor Barrow states "is best explained on the supposition that Fergus married a bastard daughter of Henry I." However, given that King Henry II of England had a Scottish grandmother, a more likely explanation of the kinship between the Galloway and English royal families is that the wife of Fergus was near related to the Scottish royal family, possibly being a sister of William Fitz Duncan, whose grandfather was Malcolm Canmore, King of Scots [died 1093]. This arrangement would make Uchtred son of Fergus and King Henry II of England related in the 3rd degree of kindred (or second cousins).]

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

Illegitimate sons of King Henry I of England, by his mistress, Ansfride, widow of Anskill, a knight who was a tenant of Abingdon Abbey:
i. RICHARD FITZ ROY, born before 1101. He served against the French in 1119, and was captured at Les Andelys. He was set free with his comrades by King Louis, because they had taken sanctuary in the church of Notre Dame du Grand Andely. Later the same year he was with his father at the Siege of Evreux and the Battle of Brémule. In Sept. 1119 he was sent to raise the Siege at Bréteuil. He was betrothed to Amice de Gael, daughter of Raoul, seigneur of Gael in Brittany and Bréteuil in Normandy. He was drowned immediately afterwards in the wreck of the White Ship 25 Nov. 1120.

Illegitimate son of King Henry I of England, by his mistress, Sibyl Corbet:
i. REYNOLD FITZ ROY, Earl of Cornwall, Sheriff of Devon, 1173-5. He married in 1140 MABEL FITZ WILLIAM, daughter of William Fitz Richard, of Cornwall. They had one son, Nicholas, and four daughters, Denise (wife of Richard de Redvers, Earl of Devon), Maud, Sarah (wife of Ademar, Vicomte of Limoges), and Emme (wife of Guy V de Laval, seigneur of Laval). By a mistress, Beatrice de Valle (or Vaux) (afterwards wife of William Briwerre, Knt.), he had an illegitimate son, Henry Fitz Count. By an unknown mistress, he also had one illegitimate son, William. He was granted the lands of William, Earl of Mortain, amounting to 215-1/2 fees in Devon and Cornwall. He was created Earl of Cornwall about April 1141. He and Robert, Earl of Leicester, were recognized by contemporaries as "the most powerful men in the kingdom." His wife, Mabel, fell into insanity in the 1140s. He witnessed a charter of Henry d'Oilly in the period, 1114-47. In 1153 he witnessed the agreement between King Stephen and Henry, Duke of Normandy [afterwards King Henry II]. He and Robert, Earl of Leicester, acted as intermediary between the king and Thomas Becket at Northampton in 1164. He played a major part in opposing the rebels of 1173-4 in England.

1. “Royal Ancestry: A Study in Colonial & Medieval Families,” Douglas Richardson (2013):
“MAUD OF ENGLAND, sometimes styled "Lady of the English" (rarely "Queen of the English"), daughter and heiress, born at London about 8 Feb. 1102 (8 years old in 1110). She married (1st) at Mainz 7 January 1114 HEINRICH (or HENRY) V, Holy Roman Emperor, son of Heinrich IV, Holy Roman Emperor, by Bertha, daughter of Otto, Count of Savoy. They had no issue. HEINRICH V died at Utrecht 23 May 1125. Maud was declared heir presumptive to her father in 1126. She married (2nd) Le Mans, Maine 17 June 1128 GEOFFREY PLANTAGENET, (nicknamed le Bel), Count of Anjou and Maine, Knt., son and heir of Foulques V le Jeune, Count of Anjou, King of Jerusalem, by his 1st wife, Eremburge, daughter and heiress of Helie, Count of Maine. He was born 24 August 1113. They had three sons, Henry (II) [King of England, Duke of Normandy and Aquitaine, Count of Anjou], Geoffrey [Count of Anjou and Nantes], and William Longespée. By an unknown mistress (or mistresses), Geoffrey also had one illegitimate son, Hamelin [5th Earl of Surrey], and two illegitimate daughters, Emma and Mary [Abbess of Shaftesbury]. On her father, King Henry I's death in 1135, she at once entered Normandy to claim her inheritance. The border districts submitted to her, but England chose her cousin, Stephen, for its king, and Normandy soon followed suit. The following year, Geoffrey gave Ambrières, Gorron, and Châtilon-sur-Colmont to Juhel de Mayenne, on condition that he help obtain the inheritance of Geoffrey's wife, Maud. In 1139 Maud landed in England with 140 knights, where she was besieged at Arundel Castle by King Stephen. In the civil war which ensued, Stephen was captured at Lincoln in Feb. 1141 and imprisoned at Bristol. A legatine council of the English church held at Winchester in April 1141 declared Stephen deposed and proclaimed Maud "Lady of the English." Stephen was subsequently released from prison and had himself recrowned on the anniversary of his first coronation. During 1142 and 1143, Geoffrey secured all of Normandy west and south of the Seine, and, on 14 Jan. 1144, he crossed the Seine and entered Rouen. He assumed the title of Duke of Normandy in summer 1144. In 1144 he founded an Augustine priory at Château-l'Ermitage in Anjou. Geoffrey held the duchy until 1149, when he and Maud conjointly ceded it to their son, Henry, which cession was formally ratified by King Louis VII of France the following year. GEOFFREY, Count of Anjou and Maine, died at Château-du-Loir 7 Sept. 1151, and was buried in St. Julien's, Le Mans, Maine. In 1153 the Treaty of Westminster allowed Stephen should remain King of England for life and that Maud's son, Henry, should succeed him. MAUD, late Empress of Almain, died at Rouen, Normandy 10 Sept. 1167, and was buried at Bec Abbey, Normandy. At her death, her wealth was distributed to the poor, and to various hospitals, churches, and monasteries.

The marriage was opposed by Archbishop Becket on grounds of affinity (he and her former husband being related in the 3rd degree of kindred). He was a benefactor of Walsingham Abbey.

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

Child of Emma, by Dafydd ab Owain:
a. OWAIN AP DAFYDD, son and heir. In 1204 King John of England ordered that the Sheriff of Warwickshire value Robert de Harcourt's manor of Elmdon, Warwickshire, and to give 13 librates therein to Owain ap Dafydd, in exchange for Owain's land of Ellesmere, Shropshire. About 1204 Owain confirmed the premises of Stockett (in Ellesmere), Shropshire to hold to Haughmond Abbey under himself and his heirs. In 1205 the king assigned him 15 librates of land in Waltham, Lincolnshire. In 1212 the king granted Owain ap Dafydd and his cousin, Gruffudd ap Rhodri, the three cantrefs of Rhos, Rhufoniog, and Dyffryn Clwyd, and also promising them Arfon, Arllechwedd, and Lleyn, if they could win them. It does not appear, however, that this grant had any practical effect. Eyton Antiqs. of Shropshire 10 (1860): 234-236, 246, 249-251. Lloyd Hist. of Wales 2 (1912): 589-590, 616, 640.

“HENRY nicknamed “Beauclerc,” King of England, Duke of Normandy, Count of Cotentin, 4th son, born in 1068 or 1069. He married (1st) 11 Nov. 1100 MAUD OF SCOTLAND, daughter of Malcolm III (CeannMor), King of Scots, by his 2nd wife, [Saint] Margaret, daughter of Edward Ætheling [see SCOTLAND 1 for her parentage]. She was born in 1079. They had one son, William, and one daughter, Maud. His wife, Maud, died at Westminster 1 May 1118. He married (2nd) at Windsor, Berkshire 29 Jan. 1121 ALICE (or AELIZ, ALEIDE, ALEYDA, AELIDIS, ADELIDE, ADELIDIS, ADELAIDIS, ADELIZA, ADELIZE, ATHELICE) OF LOUVAIN, daughter of Gottfried (or Godefroy) I, Duke of Lower Lorraine, Count of Louvain, by his 1st wife, Ida, daughter of Otto II, Count of Chiny. She was born about 1103. They had no issue. By various mistresses, he had eight illegitimate sons, Robert [Earl of Gloucester], Richard, Fulk, Reynold [Earl of Cornwall], Robert, Gilbert, William de Tracy, and Henry, and nine illegitimate daughters, Maud (or Mathilde) (wife of Rotrou II, Count of Perche), Alice, Maud (or Mathilde) (wife of Conan III, Duke of Brittany), Juliane (wife of Eustache de Pacy, seigneur of Breteuil and Pacy), Mabel (wife of Guillaume Gouet, seigneur of Montmirail), Constance (wife of Roscelin de Beaumont), Aline (wife of Mathieu de Montmorency), Sibyl (wife of Alexander I, King of Scots), and Isabel.* HENRY I, King of England died at Lyons-la-Forêt (near Rouen), Normandy 1 Dec. 1135, and was buried at Reading Abbey, Berkshire. His widow, Alice, married (2nd) after Dec. 1136 but later than summer 1139 WILLIAM D'AUBENEY, Earl of Lincoln, afterwards 1st Earl of Arundel (or Sussex), hereditary Chief Butler of England, Privy Councillor to King Henry I [see CLIFTON 3]. They had four sons, William [2nd Earl of Arundel or Sussex], Reiner, Henry, and Godfrey, and two daughters, Alice (wife of Jean I, Count of Eu and Alvred de Saint Martin) and Olive. He was a witness to King Stephen's 2nd Charter of Liberties in 1136. He was created Earl of Lincoln c.1138. He gave shelter to Empress Maud at Arundel Castle in 1139, but afterwards adhered to King Stephen. His earldom was transferred from Lincoln to Sussex before Christmas 1141. In his own later charters he is styled Earl of Chichester. About 1145 he witnessed a charter of Henry Hussey as "Consul Willelmo de Cicesterr." His wife, Alice, presented to the prebend of West Dean in 1150. Alice, dowager Queen of England, died as a nun at Affligem Abbey in Brabant 25 (or 26) March 1151, and was buried at Reading Abbey, Berkshire. He was influential in arranging the treaty of 1153, whereby the Crown continued with King Stephen for life, though the inheritance thereof was secured to Henry II. He subscribed his name to this instrument as "Comes Cicestrie." By grant dated c.1155, King Henry II confirmed to him as "William, Earl of Arundel" the Castle of Arundel, with the whole honour of Arundel and all its appurtenances. He served as Joint Ambassador to France and to the Pope in 1163/4. He served as Chief Ambassador with Princess Maud to Germany in 1168. He was appointed joint Commander of the royal army in Normandy in 1173. In Sept. 1173 he assisted in the defeat near Bury St. Edmunds of the Earl of Leicester. He founded Buckenham Abbey, Norfolk and Pynharn Priory, Sussex. WILLIAM D'AUBENEY, 1st Earl of Arundel (or Sussex), died at Waverley Abbey, Surrey 4 (or 12) October 1176, and was buried at Wymondham Priory, Norfolk.
[Footnote *: In 1824 the Scottish historian Chalmers stated that King Henry I of England had an illegitimate daughter, Elizabeth, who married Fergus, lord of Galloway (died 1161). [see Chalmers Caledonia 3 (1824): 250, footnote k ("Fergus [lord of Galloway] ... was a prince of some note, even at the court of Henry I. of England, is certain : as he took to wife, according to the heralds, genealogists, and chroniclers, Elizabeth, the natural daughter of Henry I.")]. Scots Peerage 4 (1907): 135-136 (sub Galloway), however, debunked Chalmers' statement, noting that the authorities quoted by Chalmers "do not bear out his assertion." Even so, other secondary sources have continued to repeat Chalmers' unfounded claim: See, for example, Mackenzie History of Galloway (1841): 167-172 ("Fergus ... married Elizabeth, illegitimate daughter of Henry I. of England"); Anderson Scottish Nation 2 (1862): 195 ("Fergus, lord of Galloway ... married Elizabeth, illegitimate daughter of Henry I. of England ..."); M'Kerlie Galloway in Ancient & Modern Times (1891): 155 ("It is necessary to repeat here that Fergus married Elizabeth, the natural daughter of King Henry I. of England."); Maxwell Hist. of Dumfries & Galloway (1896): 47-48 ("Fergus ... married Elizabeth, natural daughter of Henry I., and sister of Sibilla, who married Alexander I., brother of David."); Ramsay Angevin Empire (1903): 90, footnote 7 ("Gunfrith [i.e., Godred] was son of Olaf, by Afreca, daughter of Fergus of Galloway, by 'Elisabeth,' reputed natural daughter of Henry I."); Oram Lordship of Galloway (2000): 60; Green Henry I, King of England & Duke of Normandy (2006): Appendix I, Chart 2 (chart). Barrow Robert Bruce (1965): 36, footnote 2 notes that "Roger Howden calls Uchtred son of Fergus of Galloway a cousin of King Henry II (Gesta Henrici Secundi Benedicti Abbatis, ed. Stubbs, Rolls Ser., i, 80)," a relationship which Professor Barrow states "is best explained on the supposition that Fergus married a bastard daughter of Henry I." However, given that King Henry II of England had a Scottish grandmother, a more likely explanation of the kinship between the Galloway and English royal families is that the wife of Fergus was near related to the Scottish royal family, possibly being a sister of William Fitz Duncan, whose grandfather was Malcolm Canmore, King of Scots [died 1093]. This arrangement would make Uchtred son of Fergus and King Henry II of England related in the 3rd degree of kindred (or second cousins).]

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

i. RICHARD FITZ ROY, born before 1101. He served against the French in 1119, and was captured at Les Andelys. He was set free with his comrades by King Louis, because they had taken sanctuary in the church of Notre Dame du Grand Andely. Later the same year he was with his father at the Siege of Evreux and the Battle of Brémule. In Sept. 1119 he was sent to raise the Siege at Bréteuil. He was betrothed to Amice de Gael, daughter of Raoul, seigneur of Gael in Brittany and Bréteuil in Normandy. He was drowned immediately afterwards in the wreck of the White Ship 25 Nov. 1120.

Illegitimate son of King Henry I of England, by his mistress, Sibyl Corbet:
i. REYNOLD FITZ ROY, Earl of Cornwall, Sheriff of Devon, 1173-5. He married in 1140 MABEL FITZ WILLIAM, daughter of William Fitz Richard, of Cornwall. They had one son, Nicholas, and four daughters, Denise (wife of Richard de Redvers, Earl of Devon), Maud, Sarah (wife of Ademar, Vicomte of Limoges), and Emme (wife of Guy V de Laval, seigneur of Laval). By a mistress, Beatrice de Valle (or Vaux) (afterwards wife of William Briwerre, Knt.), he had an illegitimate son, Henry Fitz Count. By an unknown mistress, he also had one illegitimate son, William. He was granted the lands of William, Earl of Mortain, amounting to 215-1/2 fees in Devon and Cornwall. He was created Earl of Cornwall about April 1141. He and Robert, Earl of Leicester, were recognized by contemporaries as "the most powerful men in the kingdom." His wife, Mabel, fell into insanity in the 1140s. He witnessed a charter of Henry d'Oilly in the period, 1114-47. In 1153 he witnessed the agreement between King Stephen and Henry, Duke of Normandy [afterwards King Henry II]. He and Robert, Earl of Leicester, acted as intermediary between the king and Thomas Becket at Northampton in 1164. He played a major part in opposing the rebels of 1173-4 in England.

“MAUD OF ENGLAND, sometimes styled "Lady of the English" (rarely "Queen of the English"), daughter and heiress, born at London about 8 Feb. 1102 (8 years old in 1110). She married (1st) at Mainz 7 January 1114 HEINRICH (or HENRY) V, Holy Roman Emperor, son of Heinrich IV, Holy Roman Emperor, by Bertha, daughter of Otto, Count of Savoy. They had no issue. HEINRICH V died at Utrecht 23 May 1125. Maud was declared heir presumptive to her father in 1126. She married (2nd) Le Mans, Maine 17 June 1128 GEOFFREY PLANTAGENET, (nicknamed le Bel), Count of Anjou and Maine, Knt., son and heir of Foulques V le Jeune, Count of Anjou, King of Jerusalem, by his 1st wife, Eremburge, daughter and heiress of Helie, Count of Maine. He was born 24 August 1113. They had three sons, Henry (II) [King of England, Duke of Normandy and Aquitaine, Count of Anjou], Geoffrey [Count of Anjou and Nantes], and William Longespée. By an unknown mistress (or mistresses), Geoffrey also had one illegitimate son, Hamelin [5th Earl of Surrey], and two illegitimate daughters, Emma and Mary [Abbess of Shaftesbury]. On her father, King Henry I's death in 1135, she at once entered Normandy to claim her inheritance. The border districts submitted to her, but England chose her cousin, Stephen, for its king, and Normandy soon followed suit. The following year, Geoffrey gave Ambrières, Gorron, and Châtilon-sur-Colmont to Juhel de Mayenne, on condition that he help obtain the inheritance of Geoffrey's wife, Maud. In 1139 Maud landed in England with 140 knights, where she was besieged at Arundel Castle by King Stephen. In the civil war which ensued, Stephen was captured at Lincoln in Feb. 1141 and imprisoned at Bristol. A legatine council of the English church held at Winchester in April 1141 declared Stephen deposed and proclaimed Maud "Lady of the English." Stephen was subsequently released from prison and had himself recrowned on the anniversary of his first coronation. During 1142 and 1143, Geoffrey secured all of Normandy west and south of the Seine, and, on 14 Jan. 1144, he crossed the Seine and entered Rouen. He assumed the title of Duke of Normandy in summer 1144. In 1144 he founded an Augustine priory at Château-l'Ermitage in Anjou. Geoffrey held the duchy until 1149, when he and Maud conjointly ceded it to their son, Henry, which cession was formally ratified by King Louis VII of France the following year. GEOFFREY, Count of Anjou and Maine, died at Château-du-Loir 7 Sept. 1151, and was buried in St. Julien's, Le Mans, Maine. In 1153 the Treaty of Westminster allowed Stephen should remain King of England for life and that Maud's son, Henry, should succeed him. MAUD, late Empress of Almain, died at Rouen, Normandy 10 Sept. 1167, and was buried at Bec Abbey, Normandy. At her death, her wealth was distributed to the poor, and to various hospitals, churches, and monasteries.

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

Child of Emma, by Dafydd ab Owain:
a. OWAIN AP DAFYDD, son and heir. In 1204 King John of England ordered that the Sheriff of Warwickshire value Robert de Harcourt's manor of Elmdon, Warwickshire, and to give 13 librates therein to Owain ap Dafydd, in exchange for Owain's land of Ellesmere, Shropshire. About 1204 Owain confirmed the premises of Stockett (in Ellesmere), Shropshire to hold to Haughmond Abbey under himself and his heirs. In 1205 the king assigned him 15 librates of land in Waltham, Lincolnshire. In 1212 the king granted Owain ap Dafydd and his cousin, Gruffudd ap Rhodri, the three cantrefs of Rhos, Rhufoniog, and Dyffryn Clwyd, and also promising them Arfon, Arllechwedd, and Lleyn, if they could win them. It does not appear, however, that this grant had any practical effect. Eyton Antiqs. of Shropshire 10 (1860): 234-236, 246, 249-251. Lloyd Hist. of Wales 2 (1912): 589-590, 616, 640.

“HENRY nicknamed “Beauclerc,” King of England, Duke of Normandy, Count of Cotentin, 4th son, born in 1068 or 1069. He married (1st) 11 Nov. 1100 MAUD OF SCOTLAND, daughter of Malcolm III (CeannMor), King of Scots, by his 2nd wife, [Saint] Margaret, daughter of Edward Ætheling [see SCOTLAND 1 for her parentage]. She was born in 1079. They had one son, William, and one daughter, Maud. His wife, Maud, died at Westminster 1 May 1118. He married (2nd) at Windsor, Berkshire 29 Jan. 1121 ALICE (or AELIZ, ALEIDE, ALEYDA, AELIDIS, ADELIDE, ADELIDIS, ADELAIDIS, ADELIZA, ADELIZE, ATHELICE) OF LOUVAIN, daughter of Gottfried (or Godefroy) I, Duke of Lower Lorraine, Count of Louvain, by his 1st wife, Ida, daughter of Otto II, Count of Chiny. She was born about 1103. They had no issue. By various mistresses, he had eight illegitimate sons, Robert [Earl of Gloucester], Richard, Fulk, Reynold [Earl of Cornwall], Robert, Gilbert, William de Tracy, and Henry, and nine illegitimate daughters, Maud (or Mathilde) (wife of Rotrou II, Count of Perche), Alice, Maud (or Mathilde) (wife of Conan III, Duke of Brittany), Juliane (wife of Eustache de Pacy, seigneur of Breteuil and Pacy), Mabel (wife of Guillaume Gouet, seigneur of Montmirail), Constance (wife of Roscelin de Beaumont), Aline (wife of Mathieu de Montmorency), Sibyl (wife of Alexander I, King of Scots), and Isabel.* HENRY I, King of England died at Lyons-la-Forêt (near Rouen), Normandy 1 Dec. 1135, and was buried at Reading Abbey, Berkshire. His widow, Alice, married (2nd) after Dec. 1136 but later than summer 1139 WILLIAM D'AUBENEY, Earl of Lincoln, afterwards 1st Earl of Arundel (or Sussex), hereditary Chief Butler of England, Privy Councillor to King Henry I [see CLIFTON 3]. They had four sons, William [2nd Earl of Arundel or Sussex], Reiner, Henry, and Godfrey, and two daughters, Alice (wife of Jean I, Count of Eu and Alvred de Saint Martin) and Olive. He was a witness to King Stephen's 2nd Charter of Liberties in 1136. He was created Earl of Lincoln c.1138. He gave shelter to Empress Maud at Arundel Castle in 1139, but afterwards adhered to King Stephen. His earldom was transferred from Lincoln to Sussex before Christmas 1141. In his own later charters he is styled Earl of Chichester. About 1145 he witnessed a charter of Henry Hussey as "Consul Willelmo de Cicesterr." His wife, Alice, presented to the prebend of West Dean in 1150. Alice, dowager Queen of England, died as a nun at Affligem Abbey in Brabant 25 (or 26) March 1151, and was buried at Reading Abbey, Berkshire. He was influential in arranging the treaty of 1153, whereby the Crown continued with King Stephen for life, though the inheritance thereof was secured to Henry II. He subscribed his name to this instrument as "Comes Cicestrie." By grant dated c.1155, King Henry II confirmed to him as "William, Earl of Arundel" the Castle of Arundel, with the whole honour of Arundel and all its appurtenances. He served as Joint Ambassador to France and to the Pope in 1163/4. He served as Chief Ambassador with Princess Maud to Germany in 1168. He was appointed joint Commander of the royal army in Normandy in 1173. In Sept. 1173 he assisted in the defeat near Bury St. Edmunds of the Earl of Leicester. He founded Buckenham Abbey, Norfolk and Pynharn Priory, Sussex. WILLIAM D'AUBENEY, 1st Earl of Arundel (or Sussex), died at Waverley Abbey, Surrey 4 (or 12) October 1176, and was buried at Wymondham Priory, Norfolk.
[Footnote *: In 1824 the Scottish historian Chalmers stated that King Henry I of England had an illegitimate daughter, Elizabeth, who married Fergus, lord of Galloway (died 1161). [see Chalmers Caledonia 3 (1824): 250, footnote k ("Fergus [lord of Galloway] ... was a prince of some note, even at the court of Henry I. of England, is certain : as he took to wife, according to the heralds, genealogists, and chroniclers, Elizabeth, the natural daughter of Henry I.")]. Scots Peerage 4 (1907): 135-136 (sub Galloway), however, debunked Chalmers' statement, noting that the authorities quoted by Chalmers "do not bear out his assertion." Even so, other secondary sources have continued to repeat Chalmers' unfounded claim: See, for example, Mackenzie History of Galloway (1841): 167-172 ("Fergus ... married Elizabeth, illegitimate daughter of Henry I. of England"); Anderson Scottish Nation 2 (1862): 195 ("Fergus, lord of Galloway ... married Elizabeth, illegitimate daughter of Henry I. of England ..."); M'Kerlie Galloway in Ancient & Modern Times (1891): 155 ("It is necessary to repeat here that Fergus married Elizabeth, the natural daughter of King Henry I. of England."); Maxwell Hist. of Dumfries & Galloway (1896): 47-48 ("Fergus ... married Elizabeth, natural daughter of Henry I., and sister of Sibilla, who married Alexander I., brother of David."); Ramsay Angevin Empire (1903): 90, footnote 7 ("Gunfrith [i.e., Godred] was son of Olaf, by Afreca, daughter of Fergus of Galloway, by 'Elisabeth,' reputed natural daughter of Henry I."); Oram Lordship of Galloway (2000): 60; Green Henry I, King of England & Duke of Normandy (2006): Appendix I, Chart 2 (chart). Barrow Robert Bruce (1965): 36, footnote 2 notes that "Roger Howden calls Uchtred son of Fergus of Galloway a cousin of King Henry II (Gesta Henrici Secundi Benedicti Abbatis, ed. Stubbs, Rolls Ser., i, 80)," a relationship which Professor Barrow states "is best explained on the supposition that Fergus married a bastard daughter of Henry I." However, given that King Henry II of England had a Scottish grandmother, a more likely explanation of the kinship between the Galloway and English royal families is that the wife of Fergus was near related to the Scottish royal family, possibly being a sister of William Fitz Duncan, whose grandfather was Malcolm Canmore, King of Scots [died 1093]. This arrangement would make Uchtred son of Fergus and King Henry II of England related in the 3rd degree of kindred (or second cousins).]

Davis King Stephen (1967): 137 ("[King] Stephen recognized three successive earls of Lincoln ... The first was William d'Aubigny pincerna who married Queen Adeliza, widow of King Henry I, and in her right became lord of the honour and castle of Arundel. He styles himself William Earl of Lincoln in three charters in which his identity is proved by references to his wife. They are in favour of Lewes Priory and the abbeys of Reading and Affligem-and in the case of Affligem there is also a charter of Adeliza referring to her husband as earl of Lincoln (Round, Geoffrey de Mandeville 3245; Warner and Ellis, Facsimiles, no. 14; E. de Marneffe, Cartulaire de l’abbaye de Affligem in Analectes pour servir à l’histoire ecclesiastique de la Belgique, 2o section, pp. 104,106). In royal charters it is usually impossible to distinguish him from his successor, William de Roumare, since the normal style of both was Willelmus comes de Lincolnia, or (before he was an earl) from his father, William d'Aubignypincerna, who died before June 1139 (Reg. iii. 973). If Robert de Torigny is right (Chronicles iv. 137) William had married Adeliza by September 1139, and it is tempting to assume that it was on his marriage that he was made earl of Lincoln, his connection with that county being that his mother, Maud Bigod, was a grand-daughter, and possible co-heiress, of Robert de Tosny of Belvoir. We do not know precisely when he was transferred from Lincoln to Sussex, but it was certainly by Christmas 1141 when he attested a charter as Comite Willelmo de Sudsexa (Reg. iii. 276).").

i. RICHARD FITZ ROY, born before 1101. He served against the French in 1119, and was captured at Les Andelys. He was set free with his comrades by King Louis, because they had taken sanctuary in the church of Notre Dame du Grand Andely. Later the same year he was with his father at the Siege of Evreux and the Battle of Brémule. In Sept. 1119 he was sent to raise the Siege at Bréteuil. He was betrothed to Amice de Gael, daughter of Raoul, seigneur of Gael in Brittany and Bréteuil in Normandy. He was drowned immediately afterwards in the wreck of the White Ship 25 Nov. 1120.

Illegitimate son of King Henry I of England, by his mistress, Sibyl Corbet:
i. REYNOLD FITZ ROY, Earl of Cornwall, Sheriff of Devon, 1173-5. He married in 1140 MABEL FITZ WILLIAM, daughter of William Fitz Richard, of Cornwall. They had one son, Nicholas, and four daughters, Denise (wife of Richard de Redvers, Earl of Devon), Maud, Sarah (wife of Ademar, Vicomte of Limoges), and Emme (wife of Guy V de Laval, seigneur of Laval). By a mistress, Beatrice de Valle (or Vaux) (afterwards wife of William Briwerre, Knt.), he had an illegitimate son, Henry Fitz Count. By an unknown mistress, he also had one illegitimate son, William. He was granted the lands of William, Earl of Mortain, amounting to 215-1/2 fees in Devon and Cornwall. He was created Earl of Cornwall about April 1141. He and Robert, Earl of Leicester, were recognized by contemporaries as "the most powerful men in the kingdom." His wife, Mabel, fell into insanity in the 1140s. He witnessed a charter of Henry d'Oilly in the period, 1114-47. In 1153 he witnessed the agreement between King Stephen and Henry, Duke of Normandy [afterwards King Henry II]. He and Robert, Earl of Leicester, acted as intermediary between the king and Thomas Becket at Northampton in 1164. He played a major part in opposing the rebels of 1173-4 in England.

6448 RESEARCH_NOTES:
1. “Royal Ancestry: A Study in Colonial & Medieval Families,” Douglas Richardson (2013):
“MAUD OF GLOUCESTER, married before 1135 RANULPH DE GERNONS, Knt., 5th Earl of Chester, lord of Eastham and Macclesfield, Cheshire, Coventry, Warwickshire, Barrow upon Soar, Leicestershire, and Greetham, Lincolnshire, etc., hereditary Vicomte of Avranches in Normandy, son and heir of Ranulph (nicknamed le Meschin), 4th Earl of Chester, hereditary Vicomte of Bayeux, by Lucy, widow of Ives de Taillebois and Roger Fitz Gerold, and heiress (and possibly daughter) of Thorold, Sheriff of Lincoln. He was probably born about 1105. She had the manor of Chipping Campden, Gloucestershire by the gift of her father. They had two sons, Hugh [6th Earl of Chester] and Richard. By an unknown mistress, he apparently had an illegitimate son, Robert Fitz Count. He was present at royal councils in Northampton, 1131, Westminster, 1132, and Windsor, 1132. He accepted King Stephen's accession in 1135, and attended the royal council at Westminster in 1136. In 1136 he witnessed the Oxford charter of liberties. In 1136 or 1137 he led a disastrous expedition into Wales from which he was one of the few to escape alive. In 1140 he attempted to capture Henry of Scotland and his wife on their return from King Stephen's court. The same year he surprised the city of Lincoln and manned it for the empress. The king's response was to visit Lincolnshire, where he peaceably renewed a pact with Ranulph. King Stephen left for London before Christmas, but made a surprise return during the festival to lay siege to Lincoln Castle. Ranulph managed to escape, obtained the armed assistance of his father-in-law, Robert, Earl of Gloucester, and other Angevin adherents, raised soldiers from Cheshire and Wales, and marched back to Lincoln, where his wife and half-brother were continuing to resist the siege. At the subsequent Battle of Lincoln 2 February 1141 the king was captured, and Ranulph followed up his victory with sack and slaughter in the city itself. At the Siege of Winchester in September 1141 he initially joined the queen's army, only to encounter such suspicion and hostility that he switched to the empress's camp. In 1144 he was besieged in Lincoln by the king. He met King Stephen at Stamford probably early in 1146, where he apparently renewed his fealty to the king. The king granted him royal manors in Warwickshire, Leicestershire, Nottinghamshire, and Lincolnshire, the towns of Newcastle under Lyme, and Derby, land in Grimsby, and the soke of Grantham, plus the honors of William d'Aubeny Brito (Belvoir), Roger de Bully (Tickhill), and Roger de Poitou (Lancaster, although that which lay north of the Ribble was under Scottish control). He was also confirmed in his tenure of Lincoln Castle. He duly helped Stephen to capture Bedford town and besiege Wallingford Castle in 1146, but the king and the royalist magnates remained deeply suspicious of his failure to restore revenues from royal lands and castles he had seized. He was again with the king at Northampton 29 August 1146, but his refusal to give hostages or restore royal property led to his sudden arrest and imprisonment He was released after agreeing to Stephen's terms and taking an oath not to resist the king in future, whereupon he set about trying to recover by force what he had been obliged to surrender. Subsequent campaigns led to armed confrontations with Stephen's son Eustache, and on at least two occasions, near Coventry (probably early in 1147) and Lincoln (1149), with the king himself. He did homage to David I, King of Scots at Carlisle in 1149, who granted him the honour of Lancaster (including lands north of the Ribble) in exchange for a renunciation of claims to Carlisle. In 1150, in alliance with Madog ap Maredudd, king of Powys, he prepared an attack on Owain Gwynedd, but the enterprise collapsed after defeat at Coleshill. Some time between 1149 and 1153, he made a formal agreement with Robert, Earl of Leicester, whereby each pledged to bring only twenty knights if obliged by his liege lord to fight against the other. Both earls joined the Angevin campaign in 1153. At Devizes in 1153, Henry, Duke of Normandy gave him lavish grants in the north midlands, including the estates of several royalist barons which the earl was effectively being invited to seize; Ranulph was also restored in his 'Norman inheritance,' which has been interpreted to include Breuil, the castle of Vire, and other holdings once associated with his family, together with comital status and extensive lordship in the Avranchin. During his lifetime, Ranulph founded four religious houses, including an abbey for Savignac monks at Basingwerk, Flintshire, in 1131, priories for Benedictine monks and nuns at Minting, Lincolnshire, and Chester respectively (both at uncertain dates), and, on his deathbed, a priory for Augustinian canons at Trentham, Staffordshire. RANULPH DE GERNONS, Earl of Chester, died at Gresley, Derbyshire 17 Dec. 1153, and was buried at St. Werburg's, Chester. Sometime in the period, 1153-59, his widow, Maud, with consent of her son, Hugh, gave the canons of Calke, then part of Ticknall, the church of St. Wiestan-in-Repton, Derbyshire. Probably in 1158 Queen Eleanor, wife of Henry II, gave confirmation to his widow, Maud, of her wapentake and hundred of Repton, Derbyshire. In 1172 she founded Repton Priory, Derbyshire. Maud, Countess of Chester, died 29 July 1189.

“MAUD OF GLOUCESTER, married before 1135 RANULPH DE GERNONS, Knt., 5th Earl of Chester, lord of Eastham and Macclesfield, Cheshire, Coventry, Warwickshire, Barrow upon Soar, Leicestershire, and Greetham, Lincolnshire, etc., hereditary Vicomte of Avranches in Normandy, son and heir of Ranulph (nicknamed le Meschin), 4th Earl of Chester, hereditary Vicomte of Bayeux, by Lucy, widow of Ives de Taillebois and Roger Fitz Gerold, and heiress (and possibly daughter) of Thorold, Sheriff of Lincoln. He was probably born about 1105. She had the manor of Chipping Campden, Gloucestershire by the gift of her father. They had two sons, Hugh [6th Earl of Chester] and Richard. By an unknown mistress, he apparently had an illegitimate son, Robert Fitz Count. He was present at royal councils in Northampton, 1131, Westminster, 1132, and Windsor, 1132. He accepted King Stephen's accession in 1135, and attended the royal council at Westminster in 1136. In 1136 he witnessed the Oxford charter of liberties. In 1136 or 1137 he led a disastrous expedition into Wales from which he was one of the few to escape alive. In 1140 he attempted to capture Henry of Scotland and his wife on their return from King Stephen's court. The same year he surprised the city of Lincoln and manned it for the empress. The king's response was to visit Lincolnshire, where he peaceably renewed a pact with Ranulph. King Stephen left for London before Christmas, but made a surprise return during the festival to lay siege to Lincoln Castle. Ranulph managed to escape, obtained the armed assistance of his father-in-law, Robert, Earl of Gloucester, and other Angevin adherents, raised soldiers from Cheshire and Wales, and marched back to Lincoln, where his wife and half-brother were continuing to resist the siege.

RANULPH DE GERNONS, Earl of Chester, died at Gresley, Derbyshire 17 Dec. 1153, and was buried at St. Werburg's, Chester. Sometime in the period, 1153-59, his widow, Maud, with consent of her son, Hugh, gave the canons of Calke, then part of Ticknall, the church of St. Wiestan-in-Repton, Derbyshire. Probably in 1158 Queen Eleanor, wife of Henry II, gave confirmation to his widow, Maud, of her wapentake and hundred of Repton, Derbyshire. In 1172 she founded Repton Priory, Derbyshire. Maud, Countess of Chester, died 29 July 1189.
