1. “Royal Ancestry: A Study in Colonial & Medieval Families,” Douglas Richardson (2013):
“RICHARD FITZ GILBERT (nicknamed Strongbow), 2nd Earl of Pembroke, Earl of Striguil, of Chepstow, Monmouthshire, Hinxworth, Hertfordshire, etc., seigneur of Bienfaite and Orbec (both in Normandy), Justiciar of Ireland, son and heir, born about 1130. On the accession of King Henry II in 1154, he refused to acknowledged Richard as earl and took the lordship of Pembroke into his own hands. In Autumn 1167 he came to an agreement with Dermot MacMurrough, King of Leinster; for the earl's assistance with an army, he could have Eve, Dermot's eldest daughter in marriage and the succession to Leinster. An army was assembled led by Raymond Fitz Gerald (also known as Raymond le Gros) that included Welsh archers; it captured the towns of Wexford, Waterford, and Dublin in 1169-70. Richard married at Waterford, Ireland about 26 August 1170 EVE OF LEINSTER daughter of Dermot MacMurrough (also called Diarmait MacMurchada), King of Leinster, by Mor, daughter of Muirchertach Ua Tuathail From 1172 onwards, he was styled Earl of Striguil. They had one son, Gilbert [Earl of Pembroke], and one daughter, Isabel. In 1173 he played a critical role in Normandy in defending the castle of Gisors and recapturing Verneuil for the king. RICHARD FITZ GILBERT, 2nd Earl of Pembroke died about 20 April 1176, and was buried in the Church of the Holy Trinity [Christ Church], Dublin. His widow, Eve, was living in 1187. Sometime in the period, 1185-94, his widow, Eve, as "heres Regis Deremicii,"confirmed to John Comyn, Archbishop of Dublin, and his successors all of her earlier gifts. At her death, she was buried in Tintern Abbey, Monmouthshire.

2. “Royal Ancestry: A Study in Colonial & Medieval Families,” Douglas Richardson (2013):
“WILLIAM MARSHAL, Knt., hereditary Marshal of England, Sheriff of Gloucestershire, 1189-94, 1198-1207, Sheriff of Sussex, 1193-1208, Warden of the Forest of Dean and Constable of St. Briavels Castle, 1194-1206, Constable of Lillebonne, 1202, Protector, Regent of the Kingdom, 1216-19, and, in right of his wife, Earl of Pembroke and Striguil, Lord of Leinster, probably born in 1146. In 1152 his father gave him as a hostage to King Stephen at the Siege of Newbury. At a later date, his father sent him to his cousin, William de Tancarville, Chamberlain of Normandy, with whom he remained for eight years as a squire. In 1167, while riding near the castle of Lusigan in Poitou with his uncle, Patrick, Earl of Salisbury, and Queen Eleanor, two of the Lusignan brothers attacked and killed Earl Patrick who was unarmed; William was wounded and taken prisoner while defending the Queen's retreat into the castle. Eventually he was ransomed by Queen Eleanor and returned to England. During the period, 1170-83, he was a member of the household of Henry "the Young King." In 1173 he supported Henry the Young King in his rebellion against King Henry II. Young Henry chose to knight him, and on his death bed in 1183, Henry charged him to carry his cross to the Holy Sepulchre. When William returned to England c.1187, King Henry II made him a member of his household. He was granted the manor of Cartmel, Lancashire by the king in 1187, where the following year he founded a priory for Regular canons of the order of St. Augustine. He was with King Henry II in France in 1188 and 1189. He was present at King Henry II's deathbed at Chinon in July 1189, and escorted the body to Fontevrault. He married in London in August 1189 ISABEL DE CLARE, daughter of Richard Fitz Gilbert [de Clare], 2nd Earl of Pembroke, by Eve, daughter of Dairmait Macmurchada, King of Leinster [see PEMBROKE 4 for her ancestry]. They had five sons, William, Knt. [Earl of Pembroke], Richard, Knt. [Earl of Pembroke], Gilbert, Knt. [Earl of Pembroke], Walter, Knt. [Earl of Pembroke and Lincoln], and Anselm [Earl of Pembroke], and five daughters, Maud, Isabel, Sibyl, Eve, and Joan. She was heiress in 1185-89 of her brother, Gilbert Fitz Richard (otherwise known as Gilbert de Strigoil). He was present at the Coronation of King Richard I in 1189, where he bore the gold scepter with the cross. Shortly afterwards he was appointed one of the subordinate Justiciars of England, first under Hugh, Bishop of Durham, and then under William de Longchamp. In 1190 he fined for 2,000 marks for a moiety of the lands of Walter Giffard, sometime Earl of Buckingham, including the manors of Chilton, Dorton, Long Crendon, and Loughton, Buckinghamshire, Caversham and Long Wittenham, Berkshire, and Wootton Rivers, Wiltshire, together with the fief of Longueville in Normandy. In 1191, when the Archbishop of Rouen superceded Longchamp, William became his chief assistant. When John, Count of Mortain (later King John) revolted in 1193, William besieged and took Windsor Castle. He was heir in 1194 to his elder brother, John Marshal, whereby he succeeded his brother as hereditary Master Marshal. He took part in the Siege of Nottingham Castle in 1194. From 1194 to 1199, he was almost continually in Normandy with King Richard I. One of Richard's last acts was to appoint him custodian of Rouen and the royal treasure there. He was present at the Coronation of King John in 1199. In 1200 the king confirmed the marshalship to him. He served John actively in Gascony, England, and Normandy. William may have paid a brief visit to Ireland in the winter of 1200-1. In 1201 he was granted a yearly fair to be held at the borough of Pembroke in Wales. In 1202 he loaned money to his kinsman, Geoffrey II, Count of Perche, who was preparing to go on crusade. In 1204 he was sent with Robert, Earl of Leicester as ambassadors to negotiate a truce with King Philippe Auguste of France. In 1204 he was granted a weekly market to be held in the vill of Castle Goodrich, Herefordshire. The same year he invaded Wales and captured Kilgerran. In 1206 he gave the Templars the advowson of the church of Speen, Berkshire. He spent most of his time in Ireland from 1207 to 1213. In 1213 he witnessed King John's charter of resignation to the Pope. He was given charge of the Castles of Haverfordwest, Carmarthen, Cardigan, and Gower, and Dunamase in Ireland. He was one of the few English earls to remain loyal to the king through the First Barons' War. He was one of the king's representatives at Runnymede in 1215. Following the death of King John in 1216, he was named by the king's council to serve as Regent of the Kingdom. In 1217 he routed the French and the rebel Barons at Lincoln. In Sept. 1217 he concluded the treaty of Lambeth with Prince Louis. In 1218 he was granted weekly markets to be held at his manors of Toddington, Bedfordshire, Speen, Berkshire, Long Crendon, Buckinghamshire, and Bosham, Sussex, and yearly fairs at Toddington, Bedfordshire and Sturminster Marshall, Dorset. During his lifetime, he founded and endowed monasteries at Voto (or Tintern Minor), Duiske (or Graig-na-Managh), and Kilkenny, in Ireland. He was also a benefactor to the chapter of Lisieux, the abbeys of Foucarmont, Gloucester, Tintern, Nutley, and St. Thomas, Dublin, the priories of Longueville, Bradenstoke, Pembroke, Pill, and Stanley, Holy Trinity and St. Kevin, Dublin, the Templars, and other religious bodies. SIR WILLIAM MARSHAL, Earl of Pembroke, died at Caversham, Berkshire 14 May 1219, and was buried in the Temple Church, London. His widow, Isabel, Countess of Pembroke, died 7 March 1220, and was buried at Tintern Abbey.

“RICHARD FITZ GILBERT (nicknamed Strongbow), 2nd Earl of Pembroke, Earl of Striguil, of Chepstow, Monmouthshire, Hinxworth, Hertfordshire, etc., seigneur of Bienfaite and Orbec (both in Normandy), Justiciar of Ireland, son and heir, born about 1130. On the accession of King Henry II in 1154, he refused to acknowledged Richard as earl and took the lordship of Pembroke into his own hands. In Autumn 1167 he came to an agreement with Dermot MacMurrough, King of Leinster; for the earl's assistance with an army, he could have Eve, Dermot's eldest daughter in marriage and the succession to Leinster. An army was assembled led by Raymond Fitz Gerald (also known as Raymond le Gros) that included Welsh archers; it captured the towns of Wexford, Waterford, and Dublin in 1169-70. Richard married at Waterford, Ireland about 26 August 1170 EVE OF LEINSTER daughter of Dermot MacMurrough (also called Diarmait MacMurchada), King of Leinster, by Mor, daughter of Muirchertach Ua Tuathail From 1172 onwards, he was styled Earl of Striguil. They had one son, Gilbert [Earl of Pembroke], and one daughter, Isabel. In 1173 he played a critical role in Normandy in defending the castle of Gisors and recapturing Verneuil for the king. RICHARD FITZ GILBERT, 2nd Earl of Pembroke died about 20 April 1176, and was buried in the Church of the Holy Trinity [Christ Church], Dublin. His widow, Eve, was living in 1187. Sometime in the period, 1185-94, his widow, Eve, as "heres Regis Deremicii,"confirmed to John Comyn, Archbishop of Dublin, and his successors all of her earlier gifts. At her death, she was buried in Tintern Abbey, Monmouthshire.

2. “Royal Ancestry: A Study in Colonial & Medieval Families,” Douglas Richardson (2013):
"GILBERT FITZ GILBERT (nicknamed Strongbow), 2nd son, born probably about 1100. He married ISABEL OF MEULAN, former mistress of King Henry I [see ENGLAND 2], and daughter of Robert of Meulan (or de Beaumont), Count of Meulan, by Isabel (or Elizabeth), daughter of Hugues “le Grand,” Count of Crépy [see VERMANDOIS 5 for her ancestry]. They had one son, Richard [2nd Earl of Pembroke], and one daughter, Basilia. He consented to a gift of his mother, Alice, to Thorney Abbey dated c.1136-38. He was heir c.1137-38 to his uncle, Walter Fitz Richard, by which he inherited the barony of Chepstow, Monmouthshire and the manor of Hinxworth, Hertfordshire. He was created Earl of Pembroke by King Stephen in 1138. Sometime in the period, 1138-48, he granted the church of St. Mary, Southwark land in Great Parndon, Essex, together with the chapel and tithe of Torp [?Southorpe in Southchurch, Essex] and the tithe of Coptfold (in Margaretting), Essex, for the canons to build a hospice. About 1147-8 he issued a charter by which he confirmed the earlier grant by Roger Fitz Humphrey to the Templars of land in Inglewood (in Kintbury), Berkshire. GILBERT FITZ GILBERT, 1st Earl of Pembroke, died 6 Jan. 1147/8. His widow, Isabel, married (2nd) RALPH BLUET, of Silchester, Hampshire and Lacock, Wiltshire. They had three sons, Ralph, Knt., Walter, and William. RALPH BLUET was living in 1167. Isabel was a benefactor of the nuns of Saint-Saens, to whom she gave half her mill of Eskekeville. This gift was subsequently confirmed c.1177 by King Henry II of England. She confirmed the gift of her son, Earl Richard, to Foucarmont Abbey, which act was confirmed by King Henry II of England in the period, 1185-89. Isabel was allegedly living in 1172.

Children of Isabel of Meulan, by Ralph Bluet:
1. RALPH BLUET (or BLOET), Knt., of Silchester, Hampshire, Daglingworth, Gloucestershire, and Lackham, Wiltshire, son and heir, born say 1150 (of age in 1174-5).* He married say 1177 (possibly as his 2nd wife) NEST OF WALES, former mistress of King Henry II [see ENGLAND 4], and daughter of Iorwerth ab Owain, lord of Caerleon, Monmouthshire, by Angharad, daughter of Uchdrud, Bishop of Llandaff. They had at least three sons, Ralph, William, Knt., and Roland (killed in Ireland in 1217), and at least two daughters, Alda (wife of Amaury le Despenser) and Emma [Abbess of Godstow]. About 1170 Ralph and his younger brother, Walter Bluet, together with their mother, Countess Isabel, witnessed a Welsh charter of his older half-brother, Richard Fitz Gilbert, Earl of Pembroke. In the period, 1174-9, he reached agreement with his neighbor, William Fitz Patrick, Earl of Salisbury regarding the church of Lacock, Wiltshire, which was in their common fee. About 1177 he gave the church of Daglingworth, Gloucestershire to Godstow Abbey, Oxfordshire, which gift was afterwards confirmed by his brother, Walter, and later by their nephew, William. He and his younger brother, William, were joint keepers of the Castle and honour of Striguil from 1185-8. In the period, 1189-94, he witnessed a charter of William Marshal, afterwards Earl of Pembroke [husband of his niece, Isabel de Clare] to Cat tale] Priory. He also witnessed an undated charter of Geoffrey Fitz Robert (husband of his half-sister, Basilia de Clare) to Duiske Abbey. SIR RALPH BLUET died about c.1196-9. About 1196-9 his widow, Nest, their son, Ralph, and his brothers granted the monastery rmonasteriuml of Duntesborne, Gloucestershire to Godstow Abbey, together with her daughter, presumably the Emma Bluet, who was later elected Abbess of Godstow in 1248. In 1200 Nest sued Robert Bluet in a plea regarding a half of hide of land in Daglingworth, Gloucestershire. In 1201 she sued her brother, Hywel de Caerleon, regarding the town of Caerleon, Monmouthshire. The same year she sued William de Brewes in a plea of land in Herefordshire. Arch.

(* Note: Ralph Bluet's identification as the son of Isabel of Meulan, Countess of Pembroke is dependant of several pieces of evidence, chief among them being a previously overlooked charter issued by Ralph Bluet's younger brother, William Bluet, dated c.1168-89, in which William styled himself "brother of Earl Richard" (i.e., half- brother of Richard Fitz Gilbert (de Clare), Earl of Pembroke) [see Madox Formulare Anglicanum (1702): 182; National Archives, E 327/2981. The charter was issued at the court of William Bluet's cousin, Robert de Bréteuil, 2nd Earl of Leicester. About 1170 Ralph Bluet and another brother, Walter Bluet, together with their mother, Countess Isabel, witnessed a charter of Ralph and Walter's half-brother, Richard Fitz Gilbert, Earl of Pembroke [see Owen Cat. MSS ReZ Vales in the British Museum 4 (Cymmrodorion Rec. Ser. 4) (1922): 660-6651.

[see Dugdale Monasticon Anglicanum 5 (1825): 266].

“WILLIAM DE FERRERS, Knt., 5th Earl of Derby, Constable of Bolsover Castle, 1235-6, son and heir, born about 1193. He married (1st) before 14 May 1219 SIBYL MARSHAL, died before 1238, 3rd daughter of William Marshal, Knt., 4th Earl of Pembroke (or Strigoil), hereditary Master Marshal, by Isabel, daughter of Richard Fitz Gilbert (nicknamed "Strongbow”), 2nd Earl of Pembroke (or Strigoil) [see MARSHAL 3 for her ancestry]. They had seven daughters, Agnes, Isabel, Maud, Sibyl, Joan, Agatha (wife of Hugh de Mortimer), and Eleanor. He was afflicted from youth with gout, and habitually travelled in a chariot or litter. He accompanied the king to France in 1230. He married (2nd) in or before 1238 MARGARET (or MARGERY) DE QUINCY, daughter and co-heiress of Roger de Quincy, 2nd Earl of Winchester, by his 1st wife, Ellen, daughter and co-heiress of Alan Fitz Roland, lord of Galloway, hereditary Constable of Scotland [see QUINCY 7 for her ancestry]. They had two sons, Robert, Knt. [6th Earl of Derby], and William, Knt., and three daughters, Elizabeth, Joan, and Agnes. He had livery of Chardey Castle and the rest of his mother's lands 10 Nov. 1247. He was invested with the Earldom of Derby 2 Feb. 1247/8. In 1245 he was granted respite of forest offences because he "laboured under infirmity." He presented to the church of Brington, Northamptonshire in 1250. While passing over a bridge at St. Neots, Huntingdonshire, he was accidentally thrown from his chariot sustaining broken limb bones from which he never recovered. SIR WILLIAM DE FERRERS, 5th Earl of Derby, died at Evington, Leicestershire 24 (or 28) March 1254, and was buried at Merevale Abbey, Warwickshire. His widow, Margaret, presented to the churches of Keyston, Huntingdonshire, 1255, Irchester, Northamptonshire, 1267, and Higham Ferrers, Northamptonshire, 1268, 1275. She was co-heiress in 1264 to her father, Roger de Quincy, Knt., Earl of Winchester, by which she inherited the hereditary office of Constable of Scotland, together with the manors of Groby (in Ratby) and Thurnby, Leicestershire, Ware, Hertfordshire, Keyston and Southoe, Huntingdonshire, Chinnor, Oxfordshire, etc. In 1268-9 the Prior and convent of Lenton released the church of Irchester, Northamptonshire to Margaret de Ferrers, Countess of Derby, who in turn levied a fine of it to the use of herself and her heirs. In 1270 she resigned the office of Constable of Scotland to her brother-in-law, Alexander Comyn, Knt., Earl of Buchan. In 1270 Margaret and her sisters, Ellen and Elizabeth, gave license for the election of William de Shaldeston as Prior of the Hospital of St. James and St. John at Brackley, Northamptonshire. In 1272-3 Margaret arraigned an assize of novel disseisin against John le Fauconer, of Thurcaston, and others, touching a tenement in Groby, Leicestershire. In 1273 Philip de Fifife sued her for the next presentation to the church of Fyfield, Berkshire. In 1274-5 Ellen de Quincy and Alexander Comyn and his wife, Elizabeth, sued their sister, Margaret de Ferrers, Countess of Derby, regarding possessions in Eynesbury, Huntingdonshire. On the assignment of Quincy dower lands in 1275, Margaret was assigned a third part of the manor of Southoe Ferrers, Huntingdonshire, together with a third part of the chief messuage. In 1275-6 William de Karuill' arraigned an assize of mort d'ancestor against her touching a messuage and land in Brampton, Northamptonshire.

“WILLIAM MARSHAL, Knt., hereditary Marshal of England, Sheriff of Gloucestershire, 1189-94, 1198-1207, Sheriff of Sussex, 1193-1208, Warden of the Forest of Dean and Constable of St. Briavels Castle, 1194-1206, Constable of Lillebonne, 1202, Protector, Regent of the Kingdom, 1216-19, and, in right of his wife, Earl of Pembroke and Striguil, Lord of Leinster, probably born in 1146. In 1152 his father gave him as a hostage to King Stephen at the Siege of Newbury. At a later date, his father sent him to his cousin, William de Tancarville, Chamberlain of Normandy, with whom he remained for eight years as a squire. In 1167, while riding near the castle of Lusigan in Poitou with his uncle, Patrick, Earl of Salisbury, and Queen Eleanor, two of the Lusignan brothers attacked and killed Earl Patrick who was unarmed; William was wounded and taken prisoner while defending the Queen's retreat into the castle. Eventually he was ransomed by Queen Eleanor and returned to England. During the period, 1170-83, he was a member of the household of Henry "the Young King." In 1173 he supported Henry the Young King in his rebellion against King Henry II. Young Henry chose to knight him, and on his death bed in 1183, Henry charged him to carry his cross to the Holy Sepulchre. When William returned to England c.1187, King Henry II made him a member of his household. He was granted the manor of Cartmel, Lancashire by the king in 1187, where the following year he founded a priory for Regular canons of the order of St. Augustine. He was with King Henry II in France in 1188 and 1189. He was present at King Henry II's deathbed at Chinon in July 1189, and escorted the body to Fontevrault. He married in London in August 1189 ISABEL DE CLARE, daughter of Richard Fitz Gilbert [de Clare], 2nd Earl of Pembroke, by Eve, daughter of Dairmait Macmurchada, King of Leinster [see PEMBROKE 4 for her ancestry]. They had five sons, William, Knt. [Earl of Pembroke], Richard, Knt. [Earl of Pembroke], Gilbert, Knt. [Earl of Pembroke], Walter, Knt. [Earl of Pembroke and Lincoln], and Anselm [Earl of Pembroke], and five daughters, Maud, Isabel, Sibyl, Eve, and Joan. She was heiress in 1185-89 of her brother, Gilbert Fitz Richard (otherwise known as Gilbert de Strigoil). He was present at the Coronation of King Richard I in 1189, where he bore the gold scepter with the cross. Shortly afterwards he was appointed one of the subordinate Justiciars of England, first under Hugh, Bishop of Durham, and then under William de Longchamp. In 1190 he fined for 2,000 marks for a moiety of the lands of Walter Giffard, sometime Earl of Buckingham, including the manors of Chilton, Dorton, Long Crendon, and Loughton, Buckinghamshire, Caversham and Long Wittenham, Berkshire, and Wootton Rivers, Wiltshire, together with the fief of Longueville in Normandy. In 1191, when the Archbishop of Rouen superceded Longchamp, William became his chief assistant. When John, Count of Mortain (later King John) revolted in 1193, William besieged and took Windsor Castle. He was heir in 1194 to his elder brother, John Marshal, whereby he succeeded his brother as hereditary Master Marshal. He took part in the Siege of Nottingham Castle in 1194. From 1194 to 1199, he was almost continually in Normandy with King Richard I. One of Richard's last acts was to appoint him custodian of Rouen and the royal treasure there. He was present at the Coronation of King John in 1199. In 1200 the king confirmed the marshalship to him. He served John actively in Gascony, England, and Normandy. William may have paid a brief visit to Ireland in the winter of 1200-1. In 1201 he was granted a yearly fair to be held at the borough of Pembroke in Wales. In 1202 he loaned money to his kinsman, Geoffrey II, Count of Perche, who was preparing to go on crusade. In 1204 he was sent with Robert, Earl of Leicester as ambassadors to negotiate a truce with King Philippe Auguste of France. In 1204 he was granted a weekly market to be held in the vill of Castle Goodrich, Herefordshire. The same year he invaded Wales and captured Kilgerran. In 1206 he gave the Templars the advowson of the church of Speen, Berkshire. He spent most of his time in Ireland from 1207 to 1213. In 1213 he witnessed King John's charter of resignation to the Pope. He was given charge of the Castles of Haverfordwest, Carmarthen, Cardigan, and Gower, and Dunamase in Ireland. He was one of the few English earls to remain loyal to the king through the First Barons' War. He was one of the king's representatives at Runnymede in 1215. Following the death of King John in 1216, he was named by the king's council to serve as Regent of the Kingdom. In 1217 he routed the French and the rebel Barons at Lincoln. In Sept. 1217 he concluded the treaty of Lambeth with Prince Louis. In 1218 he was granted weekly markets to be held at his manors of Toddington, Bedfordshire, Speen, Berkshire, Long Crendon, Buckinghamshire, and Bosham, Sussex, and yearly fairs at Toddington, Bedfordshire and Sturminster Marshall, Dorset. During his lifetime, he founded and endowed monasteries at Voto (or Tintern Minor), Duiske (or Graig-na-Managh), and Kilkenny, in Ireland. He was also a benefactor to the chapter of Lisieux, the abbeys of Foucarmont, Gloucester, Tintern, Nutley, and St. Thomas, Dublin, the priories of Longueville, Bradenstoke, Pembroke, Pill, and Stanley, Holy Trinity and St. Kevin, Dublin, the Templars, and other religious bodies. SIR WILLIAM MARSHAL, Earl of Pembroke, died at Caversham, Berkshire 14 May 1219, and was buried in the Temple Church, London. His widow, Isabel, Countess of Pembroke, died 7 March 1220, and was buried at Tintern Abbey.

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.

“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.

“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 OF ENGLAND, Knt., Earl of Cornwall, Count of Poitou, Lieutenant of Guienne, 1226-7, Keeper of Castle and Honour of Wallingford, 1230-1, Lord of the Manor, Castle, and Honour of Knaresborough, 1235, Lord of the Manor and Castle of Lideford, 1239, Commander-in-Chief of the Crusaders, 12/10 1, Privy Councillor, 1253, Joint Guardian of England, 1253, 2nd son, born at Winchester Castle 5 Jan. 1209. He was knighted by his brother, King Henry III, 2 Feb. 1224/5. He was granted the honour of Launceston, Cornwall in 1225 and the honour of Berkhampstead, Hertfordshire in 1229. He fought for his brother in Brittany in 1230. He married (1st) at Fawley, Buckinghamshire 30 March 1231 ISABEL MARSHAL, widow of Gilbert de Clare, 4th Earl of Gloucester, 5th Earl of Hertford [see CLARE 6], and 2nd daughter of William Marshal, Knt., 4th Earl of Pembroke (or Striguil), hereditary Master Marshal, by Isabel, daughter of Richard Fitz Gilbert (nicknamed Strongbow), 2nd Earl of Pembroke (or Striguil) [see MARSHAL 3 for her ancestry]. She was born at Pembroke Castle 9 October 1200. They had four children (see below). He was granted the borough of Wilton, Wiltshire by his brother, King Henry III, on the occasion of his marriage. In 1232-3 he fought in Wales against Llywelyn ap Iorwerth. In 1237 he openly rebuked his brother the king for his greed and maladmininistration. He was on an embassy to Emperor Frederick in 1237. By March 1233 he had driven Llywelyn back and strongly fortified Radnor Castle. His wife, Isabel, died testate at Berkharnpstead, Hertfordshire in childbed of jaundice 17 Jan. 1239/40. Her body was buried at Beaulieu Abbey, Hampshire, her bowels went to Missenden, and her heart was sent to Tewkesbury Abbey for burial in her 1st husband's grave. In 1240 he left for the Holy Land on crusade, in the company of a large number of English knights and nobles. In 1241 he negotiated a treaty with the sultan of Krak, by which many French captives were restored to liberty. He fought in Poitou in 1242-3. He married (2nd) at Westminster Abbey 23 Nov. 1243 (by contract dated 17 July 1242) SANCHE (or SANCHIA, SENCHIA) OF PROVENCE, 3rd daughter and co-heiress of Raymond Berenger V, Count and Marquis of Provence, Count of Forcalquier, by Beatrice, daughter of Thomas (or Tommaso) 1, Count of Savoy, Marquis in Italy. She was the sister of Eleanor of Provence, wife of his brother, King Henry III of England [see ENGLAND 6]. She was born about 1225 at Aix-en-Provence. They had two sons (see below). In Dec. 1243 the king demanded a written renunciation of any rights that Richard might possess in Ireland or Gascony, together with an explicit disclaimer of the award that had been made at Saintes. In return, Richard was confirmed in possession of Cornwall and of the honours of Wallingford and Eye. In 1244 he negotiated a treaty with Scotland and sat on the committee to investigate baronial grievances against the crown. The same year he was granted the honour of Bradninch, Devon. In 1245 he allowed his nephew the Welsh rebel, Dafydd ap Llywelyn, to take shelter at Tintagel Castle in Cornwall. In 1246, together with King Henry III, he sought unsuccessfully to oppose the efforts of Charles of Anjou, husband of Sanche's younger sister, Beatrice, to claim the entire dominion of Count Raymond Berengar V of Provence. He served as principal governor of the royal mint between 1247 and 1258, during which period he organized the first complete recoinage since 1180. In 1247 he presented to the churches of Arnbrosden, Horspath, and Brightwell. He was Joint Plenipotentiary to France and Ambassador to Pope Innocent IV in 1250. In 1252 he determined the amount of Simon de Montfort's expenses while lieutenant in Gascony. He served as Regent of England in 1253-4, 1264, and de facto 1270-2. He was elected King of the Romans (also styled King of Almain) 13 Jan. 1256/7, and was crowned at Aachen 17 May 1257. He failed to establish his authority in Germany, however, was soon dispossessed, and returned to England in Jan. 1259. In 1260 he mediated between the Earl of Gloucester and the Lord Edward and the king. In April 1261 he was elected senator of Rome for life, a purely honorary title which he made no attempt to exercise in person, and in which he was subsequently supplanted by Charles of Anjou. His wife, Sanche (or Sanchia), died at Berkharnpstead, Hertfordshire 9 Nov. 1261. In 1263 he secured a temporary truce after war had broken out between his brother the king and the English barons. In 1264, when conflict became inevitable, he supported his brother. He was taken prisoner with his brother at the Battle of Lewes 14 May 1264. After the Battle of Evesham 4 August 1265, he was released and his lands restored. He married (3rd) at Kaiserslautern, Germany 16 June 1269 BEATRICE DE FALKENBURG (or FAUQUEMONT), daughter of Dietrich II de Falkenburg, seigneur of Montjoye, by Berta, daughter of Walrarn of Limburg, seigneur of Montjoye. They had no issue. By an unknown mistress (or mistresses), he had several illegitimate children, including three sons, Philip (clerk), Richard, Knt., and Walter, Knt., and one daughter, Joan. He presented to the church of St. Stithian's, Cornwall in 1268. In 1270 he purchased from Roger de Vautort the honour of Trematon, Cornwall, consisting of 60-1/2 knights' fees, including the Castle and manor of Trematon, Cornwall and the manor and advowson of Calstock, Cornwall. RICHARD, King of the Romans, Earl of Cornwall, died testate at Berkhampstead, Hertfordshire 2 (or 3) April 1272, and was buried with his 2nd wife, Sanche, at Hailes Abbey, Gloucestershire, his heart being interred in the choir of the Church of the Grey Friars, Oxford. His widow, Beatrice, died testate 17 October 1277, and was buried before the high altar at the Church of the Grey Friars, Oxford.

He was a far wiser man than his brother, who seems to have consulted him on many occasions, although they were often at variance. Wallingford ... was his chief seat, where he lived with great splendour ... The seal [on the charter] is imperfect, but what remains is well cut and clear ... On the upper side ... is a knight on horseback galloping to the proper left. He wears a loose plaited surcoat, girdled at the waist, and with the skirt freely flawing backwards, shewing the right leg from the knee in armour, apparently mail, with a prick-spur. The right arm, in mail, is extended backwards, and holds upright a long straight sword. Above the upper edge of the surcoat is seen the throat, closely fitted with mail, and on the head a flat-topped helmet. The left arm is covered with a heater shield, with conceals the breast and bears a lion rampant, with probably a border. The saddle is raised below and behind, and the two girths cross saltire fashion under the horse's belly. Over the knight's right shoulder is a narrow embossed belt, for sword or dagger. The horse is cut with great freedom, and does not appear to be in armour. The legend is: `SIGIL[LUM RICARDI COMITIS CORNU]BIE.' Upon the obverse is large, bold heater shield, about two inches high, bearing a lion rampant within a plain border, charged with fourteen roundels. Round and behind the shield is scroll work of an early English character. The legend, in place of the usual cross, commences with a crescent `SIG[ILLVM] RICARDI COMITIS [CORN]UBIE.' It is remarkable that Richard did not bear the arms of England, but those of Poictou. 'Argent, a lion rampant gules, crowned or,' which he placed within ‘a border sable, bezantée,' derived from the old Earls of Cornwall, and thus, as was not unusal, represented both his earldoms on his shield.").

For a few years it seemed possible that it would be possible to persuade the pope to crown him emperor ... although crowned king of the Romans (i.e., emperor designate) at Aachen in May 1257, he was never more than king of the Rhineland and even that was largely honorific, his four brief visits (1257-9, 1260, 1262-3, 1268-9) having more ceremonial than political significance.").

iii. HENRY OF CORNWALL, Knt. (usually styled HENRY OF ALMAIN), Constable of Corfe Castle, 2nd but 1st surviving son, born at Haughley Castle, Suffolk 2 Nov. 1235. In 1247 and also in 1250 he accompanied his father on trips to France. He was knighted by his father at Aachen 18 May 1257. In 1260 he became a regular partisan of Simon de Montfort. In June 1263 he was arrested at Boulogne and imprisoned by Enguerrand de Fiennes. On 23 August 1263, he was again in England, and was sent to treat with Llywelyn of Wales. In Sept. 1263 he was again sent to France. On his return, he joined Prince Edward, under whose strong influence he remained the rest of the baronial war. He was taken prisoner with his father at the Battle of Lewes 14 May 1264. He was released 4 Sept. 1264, and was allowed under stringent conditions to go to France to treat with King Louis. He and his brother, Edmund, witnessed two charters of their father to Burnham Abbey, one dated 1266. He married at Windsor, Berkshire 15 May 1269 CONSTANCE DE BEARN, Countess of Bigorre, Vicomtesse of Marsan, widow of Alfonso, Infante of Aragon (died before 25 March 1260), and 1st daughter and co-heiress of Gaston VII, Vicomte of Beam, lord of Montcada and Castelvielh, by his 1st wife, Mathe (or Mate), Vicomtesse of Marsan, daughter of Bozon de Matha, Count of Bigorre, seigneur of Cognac. They had no issue. Between May and August 1269 he was engaged at Paris in the negotiation of terms with Louis IX for the Lord Edward's participation in the forthcoming crusade, and in August 1270 he sailed with Edward's crusading army. He went first to Gascony, where he left his wife, and thence proceeded to Aigues Mortes, where he joined his cousin, Prince Edward. They arrived at Tunis to find King Louis of France dead, and a peace made with the infidels. Early in 1271 he was sent north by Edward to accompany the funeral cortege of King Louis. Edward commissioned Henry to return to the west to settle the disorderly affairs of Gascony. Henry accompanied the kings of France and Spain in their journey through southern and central Italy. They arrived at Viterbo on 9 March. SIR HENRY OF ALMAIN was cruelly murdered while attending mass in the church of San Silvestro (now the Chiesa di Gesii) at Viterbo, Italy 13 March 1270/1, by his cousins, Simon and Guy de Montfort. His cold blooded murder excited universal horror. Henry's viscera were buried in the cathedral church of Viterbo 'between two popes.' His bones and heart were conveyed to England. His heart encased in a costly vase was deposited in Westminster Abbey, where it became an object of popular veneration. His bones were buried before the high altar at Hailes Abbey, Gloucestershire. In 1278-9 Robert de Wyston arraigned an assize of mort d'ancestor against his widow, Constance, touching a messuage and land in Wiston, Nottinghamshire. Constance married (3rd) Sept. 1279 (by contract dated at Paris 5 July 1279) (as his 2nd wife) AIMON II, Count of Geneva, and, in right of his 2nd wife, Vicomte of Marsan, son of Rodolph, Count of Geneva, by Marie, daughter of Albert III, seigneur of la Tour-du-Pin and Coligny. They had no issue. He died 18 Nov. 1280. He left a will dated 18 Nov. 1280. In 1280-1 Edmund, Earl of Cornwall, arraigned two assizes of mort d'ancestor against her touching land and rents in Stockwith, Misterton, and Walkeringham, Nottinghamshire. In October 1309 King Edward II of England granted her respite for two years for her debts due to him. Constance de Beam, Viscountess of Marsan, died 25 April 1310. She left a will dated 6 April 1310.

He and his brother, Henry, witnessed two charters of their father to Burnham Abbey, one dated 1266. He married at Ruislip, Middlesex 7 October 1272 MARGARET DE CLARE, daughter of Richard de Clare, Knt., Earl of Gloucester and Hertford, by his 2nd wife, Maud, daughter of John de Lacy, Knt., Earl of Lincoln [see CLARE 7 for her ancestry]. She was born in 1250. Her maritagium included the manor of Hambledon, Buckinghamshire. They had no issue. He presented to the churches of Lydford, Devon, 1272, 1285, Sancreed, Cornwall, 1275, Lanteglos by Camelford, Cornwall, 1276, St. Stephen's by Saltash, Cornwall, 1276, Ladock, Cornwall, 1279, 1281, Michaelstow, Cornwall, 1279, 1282, Manton, Rutland, 1280, 1296, Yardley Hastings, Northamptonshire, 1280, St. Stithian's, Cornwall, 1283, North Stoke, Oxfordshire, 1291, Beckley, Oxfordshire, 1291, 1299, and Hambledon, Buckinghamshire, 1295.

In 1276 John Tumbur and Amice his wife sold one messuage in the suburb of Oxford to Earl Edmund for 16 marks. In 1278 commission was granted to Peter de Tregluthenou, coroner of Cornwall, and John de Treisgeu to take inquisition on which John Morsel put himself, who was lately indicted of receiving persons who broke the park of Edmund, Earl of Cornwall, at Lanteglos, Cornwall, hunted therein, and carried away deer. The same year commission was likewise granted to Oliver de Dinham and Walter de Wynbum touching the persons who entered the free chace of Edmund, Earl of Cornwall, of Dartmoor, Devon and his parks of Clymeslond, Liskaret, Restormel, and Lanteglos, Cornwall, hunted therein and carried away deer. In 1280-1 he arraigned three assizes of mort d'ancestor against his former sister-in-law, Constance de Beam, touching land and rent in Stockwith, Misterton, and Walkeringham, Nottinghamshire.

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

“RICHARD OF ENGLAND, Knt., Earl of Cornwall, Count of Poitou, Lieutenant of Guienne, 1226-7, Keeper of Castle and Honour of Wallingford, 1230-1, Lord of the Manor, Castle, and Honour of Knaresborough, 1235, Lord of the Manor and Castle of Lideford, 1239, Commander-in-Chief of the Crusaders, 12/10 1, Privy Councillor, 1253, Joint Guardian of England, 1253, 2nd son, born at Winchester Castle 5 Jan. 1209. He was knighted by his brother, King Henry III, 2 Feb. 1224/5. He was granted the honour of Launceston, Cornwall in 1225 and the honour of Berkhampstead, Hertfordshire in 1229. He fought for his brother in Brittany in 1230. He married (1st) at Fawley, Buckinghamshire 30 March 1231 ISABEL MARSHAL, widow of Gilbert de Clare, 4th Earl of Gloucester, 5th Earl of Hertford [see CLARE 6], and 2nd daughter of William Marshal, Knt., 4th Earl of Pembroke (or Striguil), hereditary Master Marshal, by Isabel, daughter of Richard Fitz Gilbert (nicknamed Strongbow), 2nd Earl of Pembroke (or Striguil) [see MARSHAL 3 for her ancestry]. She was born at Pembroke Castle 9 October 1200. They had four children (see below). He was granted the borough of Wilton, Wiltshire by his brother, King Henry III, on the occasion of his marriage. In 1232-3 he fought in Wales against Llywelyn ap Iorwerth. In 1237 he openly rebuked his brother the king for his greed and maladmininistration. He was on an embassy to Emperor Frederick in 1237. By March 1233 he had driven Llywelyn back and strongly fortified Radnor Castle. His wife, Isabel, died testate at Berkharnpstead, Hertfordshire in childbed of jaundice 17 Jan. 1239/40. Her body was buried at Beaulieu Abbey, Hampshire, her bowels went to Missenden, and her heart was sent to Tewkesbury Abbey for burial in her 1st husband's grave. In 1240 he left for the Holy Land on crusade, in the company of a large number of English knights and nobles. In 1241 he negotiated a treaty with the sultan of Krak, by which many French captives were restored to liberty. He fought in Poitou in 1242-3. He married (2nd) at Westminster Abbey 23 Nov. 1243 (by contract dated 17 July 1242) SANCHE (or SANCHIA, SENCHIA) OF PROVENCE, 3rd daughter and co-heiress of Raymond Berenger V, Count and Marquis of Provence, Count of Forcalquier, by Beatrice, daughter of Thomas (or Tommaso) 1, Count of Savoy, Marquis in Italy. She was the sister of Eleanor of Provence, wife of his brother, King Henry III of England [see ENGLAND 6]. She was born about 1225 at Aix-en-Provence. They had two sons (see below). In Dec. 1243 the king demanded a written renunciation of any rights that Richard might possess in Ireland or Gascony, together with an explicit disclaimer of the award that had been made at Saintes. In return, Richard was confirmed in possession of Cornwall and of the honours of Wallingford and Eye. In 1244 he negotiated a treaty with Scotland and sat on the committee to investigate baronial grievances against the crown. The same year he was granted the honour of Bradninch, Devon. In 1245 he allowed his nephew the Welsh rebel, Dafydd ap Llywelyn, to take shelter at Tintagel Castle in Cornwall. In 1246, together with King Henry III, he sought unsuccessfully to oppose the efforts of Charles of Anjou, husband of Sanche's younger sister, Beatrice, to claim the entire dominion of Count Raymond Berengar V of Provence. He served as principal governor of the royal mint between 1247 and 1258, during which period he organized the first complete recoinage since 1180. In 1247 he presented to the churches of Arnbrosden, Horspath, and Brightwell. He was Joint Plenipotentiary to France and Ambassador to Pope Innocent IV in 1250. In 1252 he determined the amount of Simon de Montfort's expenses while lieutenant in Gascony. He served as Regent of England in 1253-4, 1264, and de facto 1270-2. He was elected King of the Romans (also styled King of Almain) 13 Jan. 1256/7, and was crowned at Aachen 17 May 1257. He failed to establish his authority in Germany, however, was soon dispossessed, and returned to England in Jan. 1259. In 1260 he mediated between the Earl of Gloucester and the Lord Edward and the king. In April 1261 he was elected senator of Rome for life, a purely honorary title which he made no attempt to exercise in person, and in which he was subsequently supplanted by Charles of Anjou. His wife, Sanche (or Sanchia), died at Berkharnpstead, Hertfordshire 9 Nov. 1261. In 1263 he secured a temporary truce after war had broken out between his brother the king and the English barons. In 1264, when conflict became inevitable, he supported his brother. He was taken prisoner with his brother at the Battle of Lewes 14 May 1264. After the Battle of Evesham 4 August 1265, he was released and his lands restored. He married (3rd) at Kaiserslautern, Germany 16 June 1269 BEATRICE DE FALKENBURG (or FAUQUEMONT), daughter of Dietrich II de Falkenburg, seigneur of Montjoye, by Berta, daughter of Walrarn of Limburg, seigneur of Montjoye. They had no issue. By an unknown mistress (or mistresses), he had several illegitimate children, including three sons, Philip (clerk), Richard, Knt., and Walter, Knt., and one daughter, Joan. He presented to the church of St. Stithian's, Cornwall in 1268. In 1270 he purchased from Roger de Vautort the honour of Trematon, Cornwall, consisting of 60-1/2 knights' fees, including the Castle and manor of Trematon, Cornwall and the manor and advowson of Calstock, Cornwall. RICHARD, King of the Romans, Earl of Cornwall, died testate at Berkhampstead, Hertfordshire 2 (or 3) April 1272, and was buried with his 2nd wife, Sanche, at Hailes Abbey, Gloucestershire, his heart being interred in the choir of the Church of the Grey Friars, Oxford. His widow, Beatrice, died testate 17 October 1277, and was buried before the high altar at the Church of the Grey Friars, Oxford.

He was a far wiser man than his brother, who seems to have consulted him on many occasions, although they were often at variance. Wallingford ... was his chief seat, where he lived with great splendour ... The seal [on the charter] is imperfect, but what remains is well cut and clear ... On the upper side ... is a knight on horseback galloping to the proper left. He wears a loose plaited surcoat, girdled at the waist, and with the skirt freely flawing backwards, shewing the right leg from the knee in armour, apparently mail, with a prick-spur. The right arm, in mail, is extended backwards, and holds upright a long straight sword. Above the upper edge of the surcoat is seen the throat, closely fitted with mail, and on the head a flat-topped helmet. The left arm is covered with a heater shield, with conceals the breast and bears a lion rampant, with probably a border. The saddle is raised below and behind, and the two girths cross saltire fashion under the horse's belly. Over the knight's right shoulder is a narrow embossed belt, for sword or dagger. The horse is cut with great freedom, and does not appear to be in armour. The legend is: `SIGIL[LUM RICARDI COMITIS CORNU]BIE.' Upon the obverse is large, bold heater shield, about two inches high, bearing a lion rampant within a plain border, charged with fourteen roundels. Round and behind the shield is scroll work of an early English character. The legend, in place of the usual cross, commences with a crescent `SIG[ILLVM] RICARDI COMITIS [CORN]UBIE.' It is remarkable that Richard did not bear the arms of England, but those of Poictou. 'Argent, a lion rampant gules, crowned or,' which he placed within ‘a border sable, bezantée,' derived from the old Earls of Cornwall, and thus, as was not unusal, represented both his earldoms on his shield.").

Richard was almost a sort of a vice-king ... Richard had little consistent political philosophy ... Some saw Richard as a trickster, a man who would do anything for the right price. Nonetheless, Richard's influence lent an element of cohesion to English politics. For a few years it seemed possible that it would be possible to persuade the pope to crown him emperor ... although crowned king of the Romans (i.e., emperor designate) at Aachen in May 1257, he was never more than king of the Rhineland and even that was largely honorific, his four brief visits (1257-9, 1260, 1262-3, 1268-9) having more ceremonial than political significance.").

iii. HENRY OF CORNWALL, Knt. (usually styled HENRY OF ALMAIN), Constable of Corfe Castle, 2nd but 1st surviving son, born at Haughley Castle, Suffolk 2 Nov. 1235. In 1247 and also in 1250 he accompanied his father on trips to France. He was knighted by his father at Aachen 18 May 1257. In 1260 he became a regular partisan of Simon de Montfort. In June 1263 he was arrested at Boulogne and imprisoned by Enguerrand de Fiennes. On 23 August 1263, he was again in England, and was sent to treat with Llywelyn of Wales. In Sept. 1263 he was again sent to France. On his return, he joined Prince Edward, under whose strong influence he remained the rest of the baronial war. He was taken prisoner with his father at the Battle of Lewes 14 May 1264. He was released 4 Sept. 1264, and was allowed under stringent conditions to go to France to treat with King Louis. He and his brother, Edmund, witnessed two charters of their father to Burnham Abbey, one dated 1266. He married at Windsor, Berkshire 15 May 1269 CONSTANCE DE BEARN, Countess of Bigorre, Vicomtesse of Marsan, widow of Alfonso, Infante of Aragon (died before 25 March 1260), and 1st daughter and co-heiress of Gaston VII, Vicomte of Beam, lord of Montcada and Castelvielh, by his 1st wife, Mathe (or Mate), Vicomtesse of Marsan, daughter of Bozon de Matha, Count of Bigorre, seigneur of Cognac. They had no issue. Between May and August 1269 he was engaged at Paris in the negotiation of terms with Louis IX for the Lord Edward's participation in the forthcoming crusade, and in August 1270 he sailed with Edward's crusading army. He went first to Gascony, where he left his wife, and thence proceeded to Aigues Mortes, where he joined his cousin, Prince Edward. They arrived at Tunis to find King Louis of France dead, and a peace made with the infidels. Early in 1271 he was sent north by Edward to accompany the funeral cortege of King Louis. Edward commissioned Henry to return to the west to settle the disorderly affairs of Gascony. Henry accompanied the kings of France and Spain in their journey through southern and central Italy. They arrived at Viterbo on 9 March. SIR HENRY OF ALMAIN was cruelly murdered while attending mass in the church of San Silvestro (now the Chiesa di Gesii) at Viterbo, Italy 13 March 1270/1, by his cousins, Simon and Guy de Montfort. His cold blooded murder excited universal horror. Henry's viscera were buried in the cathedral church of Viterbo 'between two popes.' His bones and heart were conveyed to England. His heart encased in a costly vase was deposited in Westminster Abbey, where it became an object of popular veneration. His bones were buried before the high altar at Hailes Abbey, Gloucestershire. In 1278-9 Robert de Wyston arraigned an assize of mort d'ancestor against his widow, Constance, touching a messuage and land in Wiston, Nottinghamshire.

He and his brother, Henry, witnessed two charters of their father to Burnham Abbey, one dated 1266. He married at Ruislip, Middlesex 7 October 1272 MARGARET DE CLARE, daughter of Richard de Clare, Knt., Earl of Gloucester and Hertford, by his 2nd wife, Maud, daughter of John de Lacy, Knt., Earl of Lincoln [see CLARE 7 for her ancestry]. She was born in 1250. Her maritagium included the manor of Hambledon, Buckinghamshire. They had no issue. He presented to the churches of Lydford, Devon, 1272, 1285, Sancreed, Cornwall, 1275, Lanteglos by Camelford, Cornwall, 1276, St. Stephen's by Saltash, Cornwall, 1276, Ladock, Cornwall, 1279, 1281, Michaelstow, Cornwall, 1279, 1282, Manton, Rutland, 1280, 1296, Yardley Hastings, Northamptonshire, 1280, St. Stithian's, Cornwall, 1283, North Stoke, Oxfordshire, 1291, Beckley, Oxfordshire, 1291, 1299, and Hambledon, Buckinghamshire, 1295.

In 1276 John Tumbur and Amice his wife sold one messuage in the suburb of Oxford to Earl Edmund for 16 marks. In 1278 commission was granted to Peter de Tregluthenou, coroner of Cornwall, and John de Treisgeu to take inquisition on which John Morsel put himself, who was lately indicted of receiving persons who broke the park of Edmund, Earl of Cornwall, at Lanteglos, Cornwall, hunted therein, and carried away deer. The same year commission was likewise granted to Oliver de Dinham and Walter de Wynbum touching the persons who entered the free chace of Edmund, Earl of Cornwall, of Dartmoor, Devon and his parks of Clymeslond, Liskaret, Restormel, and Lanteglos, Cornwall, hunted therein and carried away deer.

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

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

“ROBERT DE COURTENAY, Knt., of Okehampton, Kenn, Musbury, and Sampford Courtenay, Devon, Sutton Courtenay, Berkshire, Waddesdon, Buckinghamshire, lwerne, Dorset, etc., Sheriff of Devonshire, 1215, 1218, Justice for Berkshire and Wiltshire, 1235, son and heir. He was heir in 1209 to his uncle, Robert de Courtenay. He married in 1210-11 (grant of her marriage) MARY DE VERNON, widow of Peter de Preaux, Knt.,* of Alton, Hampshire, Sudbury (in West Ham), Essex, etc., lord of the Channel Islands, Constable of Rouen (living 1209), and daughter of William de Vernon, Knt., 5th Earl of Devon, by Mabel, daughter of Robert II, Count of Meulan [see VERMANDOIS 8 for her ancestry]. Her maritagium included lands in Crewkerne, Somerset, with the foreign hundred and the chace there. They had three sons, John, Knt., William, Knt., and Robert [Dean of Auckland], and two daughters, Egeline and Hawise. In 1209 he paid a fine to the king of 400 marks and two great horses to have seisin of the manor of Sutton, Berkshire. In 1211 he owed 1,200 marks to have the honour of Oakhampton, Devon, which had been in the king's hands. In 1217 he was ordered by the king to release Exeter Castle and the stannaries and coinage of Devon to the queen mother. In 1214 he sued Roger Chike and two others regarding lands in Sutton, Berkshire. In April 1218 he offered 5 marks to have a jury concerning the hundred of Redlane which he said was his and pertains to his manor of Iweme, which hundred, and the hundred of Gillingham, were withdrawn from him and his ancestors. In July 1218 the king committed custody of the manor of Sutton, Berkshire to John of Wiggonholt for as long as it pleases the king, so that he answer for the issues of the same manor to Stephen de Croy, merchant of Amiens, for the debt which Robert de Courtenay owed him. In 1219 the king ordered the Sheriff of Devon that he cause Robert de Courtenay to have full seisin of all lands and appurtenances in Devonshire formerly of Hawise de Courtenay, his mother, which fell to the said Robert by inheritance. In 1220 he was granted a two day fair at his manor of Okehampton, Devon. In 1220 John de Saint Helen sued him regarding half a hide of land in Sutton, Berkshire. The same year Maud de Courtenay (his aunt and step-grandmother) sued him regarding the manors of Oakhampton, Chulmleigh, Kenn, and Musbury, and Sampford, Devon and Hemington, Somerset, which she claimed as her right. In 1224 he made fine with the king to render £30 to him annually at the Exchequer of the £190 8s. 7d. due from him to the king; he was allowed such costs he incurred, by order of the king and the same justiciar, to fill a breach in the wall of Exeter castle. In 1227 the king committed the manor of Sedborough (in Parkham), Devon with its appurtenances to his wife, Mary. In 1230 he was overseas in the service of the king. In the period, 1230-2, he settled a long standing dispute with Abingdon Abbey regarding digging turves from the manor of Culham for the repair of Sutton mill, Berkshire. SIR ROBERT DE COURTENAY died at Iweme, Dorset about 27 July 1242, and was buried at Ford Abbey, Dorset. His widow, Mary, was living 15 July 1250.
[*Mary de Vernon married (1st) in 1201 (date of charter) (betrothal dated early 1200) Peter de Preaux, Knt., of Alton, Hampshire, Sudbury (in West Ham), Essex, etc., lord of the Channel Islands, Constable of Rouen, younger son of Osbert de Preaux, of Normandy. They had no issue. He accompanied King Richard I on crusade in 1190. He distinguished himself at the Siege of Acre in 1192. In the period, 1194-9, he served King Richard I throughout his wars against Philip II of France. In 1203 he was in charge of the escheats of Normandy and the Jews, except for the Jews of Rouen and Caen. The same year he was granted all the land which Peter de Meulan (his Wife's uncle) held at Sens, Normandy. In 1204, in agreement with the leading men of the city, he surrendered Rouen to King Philippe Auguste of France. He was living in 1209.]

The same year Maud de Courtenay (his aunt and step-grandmother) sued him regarding the manors of Oakhampton, Chulmleigh, Kenn, and Musbury, and Sampford, Devon and Hemington, Somerset, which she claimed as her right. In 1224 he made fine with the king to render £30 to him annually at the Exchequer of the £190 8s. 7d. due from him to the king; he was allowed such costs he incurred, by order of the king and the same justiciar, to fill a breach in the wall of Exeter castle. In 1227 the king committed the manor of Sedborough (in Parkham), Devon with its appurtenances to his wife, Mary. In 1230 he was overseas in the service of the king. In the period, 1230-2, he settled a long standing dispute with Abingdon Abbey regarding digging turves from the manor of Culham for the repair of Sutton mill, Berkshire.

“ROBERT DE COURTENAY, Knt., of Okehampton, Kenn, Musbury, and Sampford Courtenay, Devon, Sutton Courtenay, Berkshire, Waddesdon, Buckinghamshire, lwerne, Dorset, etc., Sheriff of Devonshire, 1215, 1218, Justice for Berkshire and Wiltshire, 1235, son and heir. He was heir in 1209 to his uncle, Robert de Courtenay. He married in 1210-11 (grant of her marriage) MARY DE VERNON, widow of Peter de Preaux, Knt.,* of Alton, Hampshire, Sudbury (in West Ham), Essex, etc., lord of the Channel Islands, Constable of Rouen (living 1209), and daughter of William de Vernon, Knt., 5th Earl of Devon, by Mabel, daughter of Robert II, Count of Meulan [see VERMANDOIS 8 for her ancestry]. Her maritagium included lands in Crewkerne, Somerset, with the foreign hundred and the chace there. They had three sons, John, Knt., William, Knt., and Robert [Dean of Auckland], and two daughters, Egeline and Hawise. In 1209 he paid a fine to the king of 400 marks and two great horses to have seisin of the manor of Sutton, Berkshire. In 1211 he owed 1,200 marks to have the honour of Oakhampton, Devon, which had been in the king's hands. In 1217 he was ordered by the king to release Exeter Castle and the stannaries and coinage of Devon to the queen mother. In 1214 he sued Roger Chike and two others regarding lands in Sutton, Berkshire. In April 1218 he offered 5 marks to have a jury concerning the hundred of Redlane which he said was his and pertains to his manor of Iweme, which hundred, and the hundred of Gillingham, were withdrawn from him and his ancestors. In July 1218 the king committed custody of the manor of Sutton, Berkshire to John of Wiggonholt for as long as it pleases the king, so that he answer for the issues of the same manor to Stephen de Croy, merchant of Amiens, for the debt which Robert de Courtenay owed him. In 1219 the king ordered the Sheriff of Devon that he cause Robert de Courtenay to have full seisin of all lands and appurtenances in Devonshire formerly of Hawise de Courtenay, his mother, which fell to the said Robert by inheritance. In 1220 he was granted a two day fair at his manor of Okehampton, Devon. In 1220 John de Saint Helen sued him regarding half a hide of land in Sutton, Berkshire. The same year Maud de Courtenay (his aunt and step-grandmother) sued him regarding the manors of Oakhampton, Chulmleigh, Kenn, and Musbury, and Sampford, Devon and Hemington, Somerset, which she claimed as her right. In 1224 he made fine with the king to render £30 to him annually at the Exchequer of the £190 8s. 7d. due from him to the king; he was allowed such costs he incurred, by order of the king and the same justiciar, to fill a breach in the wall of Exeter castle. In 1227 the king committed the manor of Sedborough (in Parkham), Devon with its appurtenances to his wife, Mary. In 1230 he was overseas in the service of the king. In the period, 1230-2, he settled a long standing dispute with Abingdon Abbey regarding digging turves from the manor of Culham for the repair of Sutton mill, Berkshire.

The same year Maud de Courtenay (his aunt and step-grandmother) sued him regarding the manors of Oakhampton, Chulmleigh, Kenn, and Musbury, and Sampford, Devon and Hemington, Somerset, which she claimed as her right. In 1224 he made fine with the king to render £30 to him annually at the Exchequer of the £190 8s. 7d. due from him to the king; he was allowed such costs he incurred, by order of the king and the same justiciar, to fill a breach in the wall of Exeter castle. In 1227 the king committed the manor of Sedborough (in Parkham), Devon with its appurtenances to his wife, Mary. In 1230 he was overseas in the service of the king. In the period, 1230-2, he settled a long standing dispute with Abingdon Abbey regarding digging turves from the manor of Culham for the repair of Sutton mill, Berkshire.

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

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

“JOHN DE NEVILLE, Knt., of Little Hallingbury, Essex, Stogursey, Somerset, South Stoke, Sussex, West Harnham, Wiltshire, etc., Chief Forester and Justice of the King's Forest throughout England, son and heir. He married in 1230 HAWISE DE COURTENAY, daughter of Robert de Courtenay, Knt., Okehampton, Kenn, Musbury, and Sampford Courtenay, Devon, Sutton Courtenay, Berkshire, Waddesdon, Buckinghamshire, Iwerne, Dorset, etc., by Mary, daughter of William de Vernon, Knt., 5th Earl of Devon [see COURTENAY 3 for her ancestry]. Her maritagium included eleven librates of land in Waddesdon, Buckinghamshire and 24 librates of land and the advowson of the church in Alphington, Devon. They had two sons, Hugh, Knt., and John, and one daughter, Joan. In 1231 he sued William, Prior of Cowick, regarding the advowson of the church of Alphington, Devon. In 1234, before his father's death, he fined to have the bailiwick of the King's Forest in Oxfordshire, Northamptonshire, Buckinghamshire, and Huntingdonshire for life; after his father's death, he did homage 21 July 1234. He was appointed Chief Forester and Justice of the whole of the King's Forest through England 21 October 1235. Sometime in the period, 1234-46, he confirmed the grants of his father and ancestors to the monks of Stogursey. In 1240 he sailed with Richard, Earl of Cornwall, for Palestine. After his return to England, he was so rapacious and oppressive in the execution of his office as Forester that he escaped prison only by payment of a very heavy fine. He retired in disgrace to Wethersfield, Essex. SIR JOHN DE NEVILLE died at Wethersfield, Essex shortly before 8 June 1246, and was buried at Waltham Abbey, Essex. His widow, Hawise, married (2nd) before Easter 1254 (date of fine) JOHN DE GATESDEN, Knt., of Broadwater, Barcombe, Didling, Dumpford, Elsted, and Trotton, Sussex, Stockholt (in Akeley), Buckinghamshire, Eling and Lasham, Hampshire, Compton, Surrey, etc. They had one daughter, Margaret (or Margery). Sometime before 1262 he granted the Dean and Chapter of Chichester one acre of land in Didling, Sussex. SIR JOHN DE GATESDEN died shortly before 17 October 1262. In 1264 his widow, Hawise, was given two deer as a gift of the king. Sometime in the period, 1265-9, she and her daughter, Joan, witnessed an alleged miracle in Sussex, which was accredited to the late Simon de Montfort, Earl of Leicester. Hawise was a benefactress of Beeleigh (Maldon) Abbey, and founded a chantry at the Priory of Mottenden in Headcorn, Kent. She died shortly before 8 April 1269.

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

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

“REYNOLD DE COURTENAY, in right of his wife, of Okehampton, Alphington, Kenn, Musbury, Wimple, and Winkleigh, Devon, younger son by his father's 1st marriage, born about 1150. He married after 1173 and before 1178 HAWISE DE COURCY, daughter and heiress of William de Courcy (or ?Geoffrey de Crimes?), by Maud, daughter of Robert d'Avranches. She was born before 1162, and was the older half-sister of his father's 2nd wife, Maud Fitz Robert. They had three sons, Robert, Knt., Reynold, Knt., and Henry. In 1178 he and his wife, Hawise, were granted license to have a free chapel at Oakhampton, Devon. At an unknown date, he witnessed a charter of his brother, Robert de Courtenay. REYNOLD DE COURTENAY died 27 Sept. 1194, and was buried at Ford Abbey, Dorset. In 1199 she fined for 300 marks for the lands of her mother, which included 40 librates in England and just as many in Normandy. In 1201 she owed 40 marks and one palfrey for 18 knights' fees. The same year she paid 40 marks for permission to cross the seas. In 1205 she owed 500 pounds and five palfreys to have livery of the honour of Oakhampton, Devon. At an unknown date, she confirmed to Christchurch Priory the land of Wicha in the manor of Chulmleigh, Devon, which land her predecessor, Richard Fitz Baldwin, previously gave to William Martel. Sometime during her widowhood, she granted the advowson of the church of Alphington, Devon to Henry de Courtenay. At an unknown date, she gave Ford Abbey the whole land of Haregrave, Devon in frankalmoin for maintaining three poor persons in the infirmary of the said house. Hawise died 31 July 1219, and was buried at Ford Abbey, Dorset. On 14 August 1219 the king ordered the Sheriff of Devon to take into the king's hand all lands and tenements in his bailiwick formerly of Hawise de Courtenay, and keep them safely until the king orders otherwise. The same year her sister, Maud de Courtenay, brought a lawsuit against her, but the action was stayed due to Hawise's death.

“JOHN DE NEVILLE, Knt., of Little Hallingbury, Essex, Stogursey, Somerset, South Stoke, Sussex, West Harnham, Wiltshire, etc., Chief Forester and Justice of the King's Forest throughout England, son and heir. He married in 1230 HAWISE DE COURTENAY, daughter of Robert de Courtenay, Knt., Okehampton, Kenn, Musbury, and Sampford Courtenay, Devon, Sutton Courtenay, Berkshire, Waddesdon, Buckinghamshire, Iwerne, Dorset, etc., by Mary, daughter of William de Vernon, Knt., 5th Earl of Devon [see COURTENAY 3 for her ancestry]. Her maritagium included eleven librates of land in Waddesdon, Buckinghamshire and 24 librates of land and the advowson of the church in Alphington, Devon. They had two sons, Hugh, Knt., and John, and one daughter, Joan. In 1231 he sued William, Prior of Cowick, regarding the advowson of the church of Alphington, Devon. In 1234, before his father's death, he fined to have the bailiwick of the King's Forest in Oxfordshire, Northamptonshire, Buckinghamshire, and Huntingdonshire for life; after his father's death, he did homage 21 July 1234. He was appointed Chief Forester and Justice of the whole of the King's Forest through England 21 October 1235. Sometime in the period, 1234-46, he confirmed the grants of his father and ancestors to the monks of Stogursey. In 1240 he sailed with Richard, Earl of Cornwall, for Palestine. After his return to England, he was so rapacious and oppressive in the execution of his office as Forester that he escaped prison only by payment of a very heavy fine. He retired in disgrace to Wethersfield, Essex. SIR JOHN DE NEVILLE died at Wethersfield, Essex shortly before 8 June 1246, and was buried at Waltham Abbey, Essex. His widow, Hawise, married (2nd) before Easter 1254 (date of fine) JOHN DE GATESDEN, Knt., of Broadwater, Barcombe, Didling, Dumpford, Elsted, and Trotton, Sussex, Stockholt (in Akeley), Buckinghamshire, Eling and Lasham, Hampshire, Compton, Surrey, etc. They had one daughter, Margaret (or Margery). Sometime before 1262 he granted the Dean and Chapter of Chichester one acre of land in Didling, Sussex. SIR JOHN DE GATESDEN died shortly before 17 October 1262. In 1264 his widow, Hawise, was given two deer as a gift of the king. Sometime in the period, 1265-9, she and her daughter, Joan, witnessed an alleged miracle in Sussex, which was accredited to the late Simon de Montfort, Earl of Leicester. Hawise was a benefactress of Beeleigh (Maldon) Abbey, and founded a chantry at the Priory of Mottenden in Headcorn, Kent. She died shortly before 8 April 1269.

1. “Royal Ancestry: A Study in Colonial & Medieval Families,” Douglas Richardson (2013):
“ROBERT DE FERRERS, Knt., 6th Earl of Derby, of Tutbury, Staffordshire, son and heir by his father's 2nd marriage, born about 1239 (aged 9 in 1249, came of age in 1260). He married (1st) at Westminster by contract dated 26 July 1249 MARY (or MARIE) DE LUSIGNAN (or MARY DE LA MARCHE), daughter of Hugues XI le Brun (or de Lusignan), Knt., Count of La Marche and Angouleme, seigneur of Lusignan in Poitou (uterine half-brother of Henry III, King of England), by Yolande, daughter of Pierre de Braine (nicknamed Mauclerc), Knt., Duke of Brittany, Earl of Richmond [see LUSIGNAN 6 for her ancestry]. She was born about 1242 (aged 7 in 1249). About 1260 he gave his younger brother, William de Ferrers, the manor of Bolton (in Great Bolton), Lancashire, together with all his lands in the wapentake of Leyland, Lancashire, including the manors of Bispham, Bolton, Bretherton, Charnock (in Charnock Richard), Chorley, Duxbury, Heath Charnock, Mawdesley, Shevington, and Welch Whittle, Lancashire. In the period, c.1254-60, he granted the manor of Easton, Leicestershire to his sister, Joan. In 1262 he made a gift in free alms to the Prior and convent of St. Thomas by Stafford of the manor of Sueneshurst and the township of Pendleton (in Eccles), Lancashire, together with the advowson of Stowe by Chartley, Saffordshire. On the outbreak of the Barons' War in 1263, he joined the Barons and seized three of Prince Edward's castles. He captured Worcester 29 Feb. 1263/4, and destroyed the town and Jewry. He absented himself from the Battle of Lewes, but, with 20,000 foot and many horsemen, put to flight the royal forces near Chester in November following. On 24 Dec. 1264 he was summoned to Parliament by writ directed Comiti Derb’. In that Parliament he was accused of divers trespasses and was sent to the Tower by Earl Simon de Montfort, but was pardoned 5 Dec. 1265. A few months later he again rebelled, and joining forces with John Deiville, Baldwin Wake, and others, he devastated the Midlands. He was subsequently captured by royal forces at the Battle of Chesterfield 15 May 1266, and remained a prisoner for nearly three years. All his castles, lands, and tenements were granted to the king's younger son, Edmund of Lancaster, 28 June 1266. His wife, Mary, was living 11 July 1266. In 1269 he regained his liberty by agreeing to redeem his lands by paying £50,000, a promise he later said was extorted from him under fear of corporal punishment while he was a prisoner, but was unable to raise the money. Robert married (2nd) 26 June 1269 ELEANOR DE BOHUN, daughter of Humphrey de Bohun, Knt., of Kimbolton, Huntingdonshire, by Eleanor, daughter and co-heiress of William de Brewes, Knt. [see BOHUN 7 for her ancestry]. They had two sons, John, Knt. [1st Lord Ferrers of Chartley], and Thomas, and one daughter, Eleanor. Sometime in the period, 1269-79, he made a gift in free alms to the Prior and convent of St. Thomas by Stafford for the souls of himself and his two wives, Mary and Eleanor, with his own body to be buried at St. Thomas, of two messuages in the town of Chartley, together with the advowson of Stowe by Chartley, Staffordshire. In 1274 he unsuccessfully sued Edmund son of King Henry III in a plea that he might redeem his lands according to the Dictum of Kenilworth; Edmund replied that Robert could not claim the benefit of the dictum of Kenilworth, because after it was passed and published he had come to him of his own free will and agreed to redeem his lands and himself from prison for a sum of £50,000 to be paid to the said Edmund on the Quindene of St. John the Baptist, 53 Henry III. In 1275-6 he arraigned an assize of mort d'ancestor against Devorguille de Balliol touching a messuage in Repton, Derbyshire. In the same period, he arraigned an assize of mort d'ancestor against the master of the hospital of St. Lazarus of Burton touching a messuage and land in Burrow-Ash, Derbyshire. In the same period, he arraigned an assize of novel disseisin against Sampson de Dun' and another touching a tenement in Breadsall, Derbyshire. In 1276-7 Geoffrey de Skeftington arraigned an assize of novel disseisin against him and others touching a tenement in Breadsall, Derbyshire. In the same period, Geoffrey de Skeftington arraigned an assize of novel disseisin against him and others touching a tenement in Morley, Derbyshire. SIR ROBERT DE FERRERS, sometime Earl of Derby, died shortly before 27 April 1279, and was buried at St. Thomas Priory at Stafford, Staffordshire. In Michaelmas term 1279 his widow, Eleanor, sued Edmund the king's brother for dower in a third of Tutbury, Scropton, Rolleston, Marchington, Calyngewode, Uttoxeter, Adgeresley, and Newborough, Staffordshire, and Duffield, Spondon, Chatesdene, and nine other vills named in Derbyshire; Edmund appeared in court and stated he held nothing in Spondon or Chatesdene, and as regards to the rest Eleanor had no claim to dower in them, because neither at the time Robert had married her nor any time afterwards had he been seised of them. About 1280 Eleanor petitioned the king for the restoration of the manor of Chartley, Staffordshire, stating it was part of the inheritance of her son, John de Ferrers, who is under age and in the king's keeping. In 1284 she sued Thomas de Bray in a plea regarding custody of the land and heir of William le Botiller. In 1286 a commission was appointed by the king to investigate the persons who hunted and carried away deer and felled and carried away trees in the park of Eleanor, late the wife of Robert de Ferrers, at Chardey, Staffordshire. In 1290 she and her brother, Humphrey de Bohun, Earl of Hereford, acknowledged they owed a debt of £200 to Robert de Tibetot and Matthew de Columbers, the king's butler. In 1295 she presented to the church of Keyston, Huntingdonshire. She and her son, John de Ferrers, presented to the church of Eynesbury, Huntingdonshire in 1296. Eleanor, Countess of Derby, died 20 Feb. 1313/4, and was buried at Walden Abbey, Essex.

“ROBERT DE FERRERS, Knt., 6th Earl of Derby, of Tutbury, Staffordshire, son and heir by his father's 2nd marriage, born about 1239 (aged 9 in 1249, came of age in 1260). He married (1st) at Westminster by contract dated 26 July 1249 MARY (or MARIE) DE LUSIGNAN (or MARY DE LA MARCHE), daughter of Hugues XI le Brun (or de Lusignan), Knt., Count of La Marche and Angouleme, seigneur of Lusignan in Poitou (uterine half-brother of Henry III, King of England), by Yolande, daughter of Pierre de Braine (nicknamed Mauclerc), Knt., Duke of Brittany, Earl of Richmond [see LUSIGNAN 6 for her ancestry]. She was born about 1242 (aged 7 in 1249). About 1260 he gave his younger brother, William de Ferrers, the manor of Bolton (in Great Bolton), Lancashire, together with all his lands in the wapentake of Leyland, Lancashire, including the manors of Bispham, Bolton, Bretherton, Charnock (in Charnock Richard), Chorley, Duxbury, Heath Charnock, Mawdesley, Shevington, and Welch Whittle, Lancashire. In the period, c.1254-60, he granted the manor of Easton, Leicestershire to his sister, Joan. In 1262 he made a gift in free alms to the Prior and convent of St. Thomas by Stafford of the manor of Sueneshurst and the township of Pendleton (in Eccles), Lancashire, together with the advowson of Stowe by Chartley, Saffordshire. On the outbreak of the Barons' War in 1263, he joined the Barons and seized three of Prince Edward's castles. He captured Worcester 29 Feb. 1263/4, and destroyed the town and Jewry.

1. “Royal Ancestry: A Study in Colonial & Medieval Families,” Douglas Richardson (2013):
“ROBERT DE FERRERS, Knt., 6th Earl of Derby, of Tutbury, Staffordshire, son and heir by his father's 2nd marriage, born about 1239 (aged 9 in 1249, came of age in 1260). He married (1st) at Westminster by contract dated 26 July 1249 MARY (or MARIE) DE LUSIGNAN (or MARY DE LA MARCHE), daughter of Hugues XI le Brun (or de Lusignan), Knt., Count of La Marche and Angouleme, seigneur of Lusignan in Poitou (uterine half-brother of Henry III, King of England), by Yolande, daughter of Pierre de Braine (nicknamed Mauclerc), Knt., Duke of Brittany, Earl of Richmond [see LUSIGNAN 6 for her ancestry]. She was born about 1242 (aged 7 in 1249). About 1260 he gave his younger brother, William de Ferrers, the manor of Bolton (in Great Bolton), Lancashire, together with all his lands in the wapentake of Leyland, Lancashire, including the manors of Bispham, Bolton, Bretherton, Charnock (in Charnock Richard), Chorley, Duxbury, Heath Charnock, Mawdesley, Shevington, and Welch Whittle, Lancashire. In the period, c.1254-60, he granted the manor of Easton, Leicestershire to his sister, Joan. In 1262 he made a gift in free alms to the Prior and convent of St. Thomas by Stafford of the manor of Sueneshurst and the township of Pendleton (in Eccles), Lancashire, together with the advowson of Stowe by Chartley, Saffordshire. On the outbreak of the Barons' War in 1263, he joined the Barons and seized three of Prince Edward's castles. He captured Worcester 29 Feb. 1263/4, and destroyed the town and Jewry. He absented himself from the Battle of Lewes, but, with 20,000 foot and many horsemen, put to flight the royal forces near Chester in November following. On 24 Dec. 1264 he was summoned to Parliament by writ directed Comiti Derb’. In that Parliament he was accused of divers trespasses and was sent to the Tower by Earl Simon de Montfort, but was pardoned 5 Dec. 1265. A few months later he again rebelled, and joining forces with John Deiville, Baldwin Wake, and others, he devastated the Midlands. He was subsequently captured by royal forces at the Battle of Chesterfield 15 May 1266, and remained a prisoner for nearly three years. All his castles, lands, and tenements were granted to the king's younger son, Edmund of Lancaster, 28 June 1266. His wife, Mary, was living 11 July 1266. In 1269 he regained his liberty by agreeing to redeem his lands by paying £50,000, a promise he later said was extorted from him under fear of corporal punishment while he was a prisoner, but was unable to raise the money. Robert married (2nd) 26 June 1269 ELEANOR DE BOHUN, daughter of Humphrey de Bohun, Knt., of Kimbolton, Huntingdonshire, by Eleanor, daughter and co-heiress of William de Brewes, Knt. [see BOHUN 7 for her ancestry]. They had two sons, John, Knt. [1st Lord Ferrers of Chartley], and Thomas, and one daughter, Eleanor. Sometime in the period, 1269-79, he made a gift in free alms to the Prior and convent of St. Thomas by Stafford for the souls of himself and his two wives, Mary and Eleanor, with his own body to be buried at St. Thomas, of two messuages in the town of Chartley, together with the advowson of Stowe by Chartley, Staffordshire. In 1274 he unsuccessfully sued Edmund son of King Henry III in a plea that he might redeem his lands according to the Dictum of Kenilworth; Edmund replied that Robert could not claim the benefit of the dictum of Kenilworth, because after it was passed and published he had come to him of his own free will and agreed to redeem his lands and himself from prison for a sum of £50,000 to be paid to the said Edmund on the Quindene of St. John the Baptist, 53 Henry III. In 1275-6 he arraigned an assize of mort d'ancestor against Devorguille de Balliol touching a messuage in Repton, Derbyshire. In the same period, he arraigned an assize of mort d'ancestor against the master of the hospital of St. Lazarus of Burton touching a messuage and land in Burrow-Ash, Derbyshire. In the same period, he arraigned an assize of novel disseisin against Sampson de Dun' and another touching a tenement in Breadsall, Derbyshire. In 1276-7 Geoffrey de Skeftington arraigned an assize of novel disseisin against him and others touching a tenement in Breadsall, Derbyshire. In the same period, Geoffrey de Skeftington arraigned an assize of novel disseisin against him and others touching a tenement in Morley, Derbyshire. SIR ROBERT DE FERRERS, sometime Earl of Derby, died shortly before 27 April 1279, and was buried at St. Thomas Priory at Stafford, Staffordshire. In Michaelmas term 1279 his widow, Eleanor, sued Edmund the king's brother for dower in a third of Tutbury, Scropton, Rolleston, Marchington, Calyngewode, Uttoxeter, Adgeresley, and Newborough, Staffordshire, and Duffield, Spondon, Chatesdene, and nine other vills named in Derbyshire; Edmund appeared in court and stated he held nothing in Spondon or Chatesdene, and as regards to the rest Eleanor had no claim to dower in them, because neither at the time Robert had married her nor any time afterwards had he been seised of them. About 1280 Eleanor petitioned the king for the restoration of the manor of Chartley, Staffordshire, stating it was part of the inheritance of her son, John de Ferrers, who is under age and in the king's keeping. In 1284 she sued Thomas de Bray in a plea regarding custody of the land and heir of William le Botiller. In 1286 a commission was appointed by the king to investigate the persons who hunted and carried away deer and felled and carried away trees in the park of Eleanor, late the wife of Robert de Ferrers, at Chardey, Staffordshire. In 1290 she and her brother, Humphrey de Bohun, Earl of Hereford, acknowledged they owed a debt of £200 to Robert de Tibetot and Matthew de Columbers, the king's butler. In 1295 she presented to the church of Keyston, Huntingdonshire. She and her son, John de Ferrers, presented to the church of Eynesbury, Huntingdonshire in 1296. Eleanor, Countess of Derby, died 20 Feb. 1313/4, and was buried at Walden Abbey, Essex.

2. “Royal Ancestry: A Study in Colonial & Medieval Families,” Douglas Richardson (2013):
“WILLIAM DE FERRERS, Knt., 5th Earl of Derby, Constable of Bolsover Castle, 1235-6, son and heir, born about 1193. He married (1st) before 14 May 1219 SIBYL MARSHAL, died before 1238, 3rd daughter of William Marshal, Knt., 4th Earl of Pembroke (or Strigoil), hereditary Master Marshal, by Isabel, daughter of Richard Fitz Gilbert (nicknamed "Strongbow”), 2nd Earl of Pembroke (or Strigoil) [see MARSHAL 3 for her ancestry]. They had seven daughters, Agnes, Isabel, Maud, Sibyl, Joan, Agatha (wife of Hugh de Mortimer), and Eleanor. He was afflicted from youth with gout, and habitually travelled in a chariot or litter. He accompanied the king to France in 1230. He married (2nd) in or before 1238 MARGARET (or MARGERY) DE QUINCY, daughter and co-heiress of Roger de Quincy, 2nd Earl of Winchester, by his 1st wife, Ellen, daughter and co-heiress of Alan Fitz Roland, lord of Galloway, hereditary Constable of Scotland [see QUINCY 7 for her ancestry]. They had two sons, Robert, Knt. [6th Earl of Derby], and William, Knt., and three daughters, Elizabeth, Joan, and Agnes. He had livery of Chardey Castle and the rest of his mother's lands 10 Nov. 1247. He was invested with the Earldom of Derby 2 Feb. 1247/8. In 1245 he was granted respite of forest offences because he "laboured under infirmity." He presented to the church of Brington, Northamptonshire in 1250. While passing over a bridge at St. Neots, Huntingdonshire, he was accidentally thrown from his chariot sustaining broken limb bones from which he never recovered. SIR WILLIAM DE FERRERS, 5th Earl of Derby, died at Evington, Leicestershire 24 (or 28) March 1254, and was buried at Merevale Abbey, Warwickshire. His widow, Margaret, presented to the churches of Keyston, Huntingdonshire, 1255, Irchester, Northamptonshire, 1267, and Higham Ferrers, Northamptonshire, 1268, 1275. She was co-heiress in 1264 to her father, Roger de Quincy, Knt., Earl of Winchester, by which she inherited the hereditary office of Constable of Scotland, together with the manors of Groby (in Ratby) and Thurnby, Leicestershire, Ware, Hertfordshire, Keyston and Southoe, Huntingdonshire, Chinnor, Oxfordshire, etc. In 1268-9 the Prior and convent of Lenton released the church of Irchester, Northamptonshire to Margaret de Ferrers, Countess of Derby, who in turn levied a fine of it to the use of herself and her heirs. In 1270 she resigned the office of Constable of Scotland to her brother-in-law, Alexander Comyn, Knt., Earl of Buchan. In 1270 Margaret and her sisters, Ellen and Elizabeth, gave license for the election of William de Shaldeston as Prior of the Hospital of St. James and St. John at Brackley, Northamptonshire. In 1272-3 Margaret arraigned an assize of novel disseisin against John le Fauconer, of Thurcaston, and others, touching a tenement in Groby, Leicestershire. In 1273 Philip de Fifife sued her for the next presentation to the church of Fyfield, Berkshire. In 1274-5 Ellen de Quincy and Alexander Comyn and his wife, Elizabeth, sued their sister, Margaret de Ferrers, Countess of Derby, regarding possessions in Eynesbury, Huntingdonshire. On the assignment of Quincy dower lands in 1275, Margaret was assigned a third part of the manor of Southoe Ferrers, Huntingdonshire, together with a third part of the chief messuage. In 1275-6 William de Karuill' arraigned an assize of mort d'ancestor against her touching a messuage and land in Brampton, Northamptonshire. Sometime in the period, 1275-9, she acquired the one-third share of the same manor assigned to her sister, Elizabeth Comyn, thus increasing Margaret's share to two-thirds. In 1276 Margaret had letters of protection, she then going to Scotland. In 1277-8 Alice widow of John de Kent arraigned an assize of novel disseisin against her and others touching a tenement in Chardey, Staffordshire. About 1281 Margaret de Ferrers, Countess of Derby, Ellen la Zouche, and Alexander Comyn, Earl of Buchan, and his wife, Elizabeth, sued Ranulph son of Robert de Neville and his wife, Euphame, regarding 11-1/2 virgates in Syston, Leicestershire. Margaret, Countess of Derby, died shortly before 12 March 1280/1, on which date custody of all lands late of the said Countess Margaret were granted by the king to Richard Fukeram to hold during pleasure, so that he cultivate and sow them and answer for the issues at the Exchequer. In 1282 custody of the manor of Southoe, Huntingdonshire late of Margaret, Countess of Derby, deceased was granted by the king to John de Aese, Vicomte of Tartas to hold during the minority of the heirs.

In 1247, as William Marshal, of Norton, he reached agreement with William de Brackley, Prior of Luffield, whereby he quitclaimed the service of a pair of gilt spurs and suit of court every three week in respect of an estate at Monksbarn (in Whittlebury), Northamptonshire, so that the prior should thereafter hold of him in free alms, quit of all secular service. The same year he also reached agreement with the Templars regarding rent owed for land in Cowley, Oxfordshire. He was granted weekly markets to be held at the manors of Haselbury Plucknett, Somerset and Messingham, Lincolnshire in 1265. WILLIAM LE MARSHAL died Sept. 1265.

In 1280 the king seised the third part of the manor of Haselbury, Somerset, which David and his wife, Elizabeth, held as the dower of the said Elizabeth of the lands which were of William Marshal her late husband; later the same year the king wishing to grant indulgence to the said David and Elizabeth ordered that the third part of the manor be restored to them. In 1282 David suddenly surprised the Castle of Hawarden, killed many of the knights and squires who formed the garrison, and carried off Roger de Clifford, the Justiciary, as a prisoner into the hills.

“WILLIAM DE FERRERS, Knt., of Groby (in Ratby), Leicestershire, Woodham Ferris, Stebbing, and Fairstead, Essex, Ware, Hertfordshire, Newbottle, Northamptonshire, Constable of Scotland, 2nd son, born about 1240. In 1251 his father gave him the manor and advowson of Woodham, the manor of Stebbing, the capital messuage at Chiche (now St. Osyth), and lands in Fairstead, Essex, to hold in tail general, by the service of five knights' fees. Between four and five years later, before he was of age, he had livery of these lands; subsequently he exchanged them with his mother for lands in Scotland and Galloway, but he again had entry therein, with her consent, 16 days before her death in Feb. 1280/1. About 1260 his brother, Robert de Ferrers, Earl of Derby, gave him the manor of Bolton (in Great Bolton), Lancashire, together with all his lands in the wapentake of Leyland, Lancashire, including the manors of Bispham, Bolton, Bretherton, Charnock (in Chamock Richard), Chorley, Duxbury, Heath Chamock, Mawdesley, Shevington, and Welch Whittle, Lancashire. He married (1st) in 1270 ANNE DURWARD, widow of Colban of Fife, Knt., 8th Earl of Fife (died 1270), and daughter and co-heiress of Alan Durward, Knt., of Coull and Lumphanan, Aberdeenshire, Lintrathen, Angus, Lundin, Fife, Reedie (in Airlie), Forfarshire, Urquhart, Moray, etc., Usher of the King of Scots, Justiciar of Scotland, by Marjory, illegitimate daughter of Alexander II, King of Scots [see SCOTLAND 5.i for her ancestry]. They had one son, William, Knt. [1st Lord Ferrers of Groby]. He was summoned for military service from 18 March 1263/4 to 14 March 1282/3. He was among the prisoners taken after the conflict at Northampton 5 or 6 April 1264, and was committed by Edward the king's son to the custody of Roger de Leybourne. Roger demanded an excessive ransom, threatening to take him to Ireland if he did not pay it; on 5 Jan. 1264/5 Roger was ordered to release him and let him come to the king. William was admitted to the king's presence and pardoned all trespasses committed by him up to 11 July 1266. Sometime before 1272 he gave to Charley Priory, Leicestershire 5-1/2 acres near their sheepfold, for the purpose of enlarging the courtyard of the priory; he likewise gave the same priory 30 acres of land in the Milne-leghs by Charley, Leicestershire. His wife, Anne, was co-heiress in 1275 to her father, by which she inherited the baronies of Coull, O'Neill, and Lumphanan, Aberdeenshire. In 1275-6 Adam de Holand claimed and recovered 16 acres in Buxton, Lancashire of William de Ferrers. In 1277-8 Henry de Asteleg' arraigned an assize of novel disseisin against him and others touching a tenement in Chorley, Lancashire. In the same period, William son of Henry de Holecroft arraigned an assize of novel disseisin against him and others touching common of pasture in Chorley, Lancashire. In May 1280 the king permitted William to retain the manor of Groby (in Ratby), Leicestershire, of which his mother had enfeoffed him, for a fine of 40 marks. In 1280-1 Henry le Fevre arraigned an assize against him touching a fosse levied in Chorley, Lancashire. In 1280-1 he arraigned an assize of novel disseisin against John de Roselis touching a tenement in Newbotde, Northamptonshire. He was with the king in the army of Wales in 1282. He was summoned to attend the king at Shrewsbury 28 June 1283, by writ directed Willelmo de Ferrariis. He was summoned to a military council 14 June 1287. He married (2nd) ELEANOR DE LOVAINE, daughter of Matthew de Lovaine, Knt., of Little Easton, Essex, by his wife, Muriel. SIR WILLIAM DE FERRERS died shortly before 20 Dec. 1287. In 1288 custody of his lands was granted to Nicholas de Segrave [the younger] for a fine of 100 marks and £160 per annum. His widow, Eleanor, subsequently journeyed to Scotland with the view of obtaining possession of the jointure to which she was entitled from the lands held by her deceased husband in Scotland. She was abducted by WILLIAM DE DOUGLAS, Knt., nicknamed The Hardy, of Douglas, Lanarkshire, Faudon, Northumberland, etc., from the manor of Ellen la Zouche at Tranent, East Lothian, Scotland shortly before 28 Jan. 1288/9, on which date the Sheriff of Northumberland was ordered to take his lands into the king's hand and arrest and imprison him. Douglas was imprisoned in Leeds Castle, Kent, but was released 15 May 1290. Upon the payment of a fine of £100, the marriage of Eleanor was granted to him 18 Feb. 1290/1, which marriage soon afterwards took place, she becoming his second wife. They had two sons, Hugh [clerk] and Archibald, Knt. He is first mentioned in 1256, when his father, William de Douglas, Knt., declared before a court that he had provided him lands in Warndon, Northumberland, with two guardians, as he was then under age. In 1267 he was severely wounded in defense of his father's house at Faudon, Northumberland. In 1288 he imprisoned Hugh de Abernethy, Knt., in his castle of Douglas, who was one of the assassins of Duncan, Earl of Fife. In 1291 he was commanded by King Edward I of England to release the prisoner to William de St. Clare. The same year he and other Scottish magnates did homage to King Edward I as Lord Paramount of Scotland. He was one of the barons who disregarded the summons calling upon them to attend the first Parliament held by John de Balliol as King of Scotland 10 Feb. 1292. Shortly afterwards he refused to pay part of his mother's jointure, in consequence of which she proceeded against him before the justiciaries and obtained a judgment, appointing her to be infeft in certain lands, and awarding her 140 marks in damages. When the officers of the king proceeded to Douglas to execute this decree, he seized them and confined them for a night. He was arraigned before the king's second Parliament held at Sterling 3 August 1293. He pleaded that the officers were wrong in levying the damages so soon. He was, nevertheless, found guilty, and committed to prison, but soon released. In October 1295 he was appointed Governor of Berwick Castle when that place was besieged by King Edward I of England. The town having been taken by storm 30 March, he capitulated the same day on security for life and limb. After swearing fealty to the English monarch 10 June 1296, his lands in the shires of Fife, Edinburgh, Berwick, Dumfries, and Wigtown were restored to him by special favor; his manor of Fawdon, Northumberland, however, was made over to Gilbert de Umfreville, Earl of Angus. His submission was of short duration, however, for he soon joined Wallace in the spring of 1297, in consequence of which Robert de Brus laid waste his lands in Douglasdale, and carried his wife and family captive into Annandale. He obtained possession of Sanquhar Castle by stratagem, in which place he was besieged until relieved by Wallace. He was one of the leaders of the Scottish host, when in the neighborhood of Irvine, it found itself in the presence of the English army under the command of Percy 9 July 1297. He was one of the chief negotiators of the Treaty of Irvine then made, which treaty failed to secure the submission of Scotland. Finding that many of the barons for whom he had acted drew back from the agreement and delayed the delivery of their hostages, he considered himself bound in honor to surrender to the English generals, by whom he was conveyed to Roxburgh. On 12 October following, SIR WILLIAM DE DOUGLAS was sent to the Tower 12 October 1297, where he died shortly before 24 Jan. 1298/9. After his death, the lands which his widow, Eleanor, held in dower of her first husband were restored to her, those in England 24 Jan. 1298/9, and those in Scotland 22 July 1302. In 1305 she sued Robert de Umfreville and Lucy his wife for dower in the manor of Faudon (in Ingram), Northumberland. Eleanor married (39 shortly after 8 April 1305 (date of license to marry) WILLIAM BAGOT, Knt., of The Hyde (in Coppenhall) and Patshull, Staffordshire, son and heir of William Bagot, Knt., of The Hyde (in Coppenhall) and Patshull, Staffordshire, by his wife, Isabel. They had no issue. In 1295 John parson of Weston under Brewood sued him and his brother, Robert Bagot, clerk, for deforcing him of four acres of wood and 40 acres of pasture in Wilbrighton, Staffordshire. In 1296 he was about to proceed to Gascony with Robert Fitz Walter in the retinue of Edmund the king's brother. In 1297, as “William Bagod, junior,” he recovered a messuage and a carucate of land in Patshull, Staffordshire in a suit against Roger Peye. He was serving in Scotland in 1298, 1300, 1301, and 1306. In 1303 he obtained a grant of free warren in his demesne lands at The Hyde (in Coppenhall), Staffordshire.

i. HUGH DE DOUGLAS, clerk. He was born about 1294 (aged 2 in 1296). He was taken into custody at his father's manor of Stebbing, Essex when aged nearly two, at a time when his father was in rebellion against King Edward I of England. He became Canon of Glasgow before 17 May 1325, when he was noted as being absent from the meeting of the Glasgow chapter. He witnessed an act of John de Lindsay, Bishop of Glasgow in 1329. He was heir in 1333 to his nephew, William de Douglas, lord of Douglas, son of his older half-brother, James de Douglas. He made various grants from his inheritance in the period, 1332 12, including grants as lord of Douglas at Edinburgh dated 1342. He resigned the whole Douglas inheritance to the king at Aberdeen 26 May 1342; three days later it was granted to his. nephew, William de Douglas, Knt., afterwards 1st Earl of Douglas. He retained his tight as Prebendary of Old Roxburgh held in the Cathedral church of Glasgow until 8 Feb. 1347/8, when he resigned this position through his proctor on exchange for the church of Skirling, Peeblesshire. About 1362 he was still owing annates for this church, but he was described by the collector in his accounts as imp otens in facultatibus. He died unmarried.

ii. ARCHIBALD DE DOUGLAS, Knt., of Liddesdale, Regent of Scotland, 1333. He married BEATRICE DE LINDSAY, daughter of Alexander de Lindsay, of Crawford. They had two sons, John and William, Knt. [Earl of Douglas and Mar], and one daughter, Eleanor. In 1320 the king granted him lands in Morebattle, Roxburghshite and Kirkandrews, Dumfriesshire. In 1324 he was granted the lands of Rattray Orimond, Carnglass, and others in Buchan. He acted in vigorous opposition to the claims of Edward de Balliol to the Scottish throne. In 1332 Gilbert son of Robert de Umfreville sued him regarding the manor of Faudon (in Ingram), Northumberland. SIR ARCHIBALD DE DOUGLAS was slain at the Battle of Halidon Hill 19 July 1333. At the time of his death, he owned the baronies of Cavers, Drumlanrig, Terregles, and Westcalder, and part of Conveth in Aberdeenshire. In 1335 his widow, Beatrice, was residing in the fortress of Cumbernauld, when it was besieged by the English. She and other noble ladies were compelled to surrender, but apparently were not kept prisoners very long. Sometime in the period, 1335-8, Duncan, Earl of Fife, granted the barony of West Calder, Midlothian to Beatrice and her son and heir, John de Douglas. Beatrice married (2nd) (as his 1st wife) ROBERT DE ERSKINE, Knt., of Erskine, High Chamberlain of Scotland, 1350-7,1363-4, Keeper of Stirling Castle, son and heir of William de Erskine, Knt. They had two sons, Thomas, Knt. and Nicholas (of Kinnoull), and one daughter, Marion (wife of Maurice Drummond, of Concraig). At an unknown date, he had a charter of lands in the holding of Erskine by Robert Stewart, Steward of Scotland, which grant was confirmed by the king in 1352. His wife, Beatrice, died before 1352. In some private quarrel, he wounded and imprisoned Walter de Menteith and his brother. To appease the feud thus engendered, a marriage was arranged about 1352 between him and Walter de Menteith's kinswoman, Christian Menteith, widow of Edward Keith, Knt., of Sinton, and daughter of John Menteith, Knt, of Arran, Strathgartney, and Knapdale. He and Christian were subsequently dispensed 6 March 1355 to remain in marriage, she and his 1st wife, Beatrice, being related in the 4th degree of consanguinity. They had no surviving issue. He was very active in promoting the release of King David II. In 1357 he was one of the Scottish plenipotentiaries sent to treat with England regarding the king's ransom. He was employed on several embassies, chiefly to England, but also to the French and Papal Courts. In 1358 he had a charter from Thomas, Earl of Mar, of the lands of Garioch. In 1361 he granted Kintulach, Perthshire to Cambuskenneth Abbey. In 1362 he granted the patronage of the church of Kinnoull to the same abbey. In 1368 he received a charter conferring on him and his wife, Christian, the lands of Alloa, Galbardstoun, Isle of Clackmannan, the New Park near Stirling, land called Brewhaugh in the Forest of Clackmannan, plus other lands. He did homage at the Coronation of King Robert II in 1371. In 1373 he exchanged the lands of Ednam for an annual rent of £100. In 1376 he resigned the barony of Dun, Forfarshire to his son, Thomas. He was a frequent attender of Parliament and Council up to 1384. SIR ROBERT DE ERSKINE died shortly before Martinmas 1385. His widow, Christian, died about 1387.

Children of Archibald de Douglas, Knt., by Beatrice de Lindsay:
a. JOHN DE DOUGLAS. He is mentioned in a charter dated 1335-8, as heir of his mother. He may be the John de Douglas who was at the court of King David II of Scotland in 1338-9. He appears to have accompanied King David II to Normandy, and in 1340 formed one of his household at Château Gaillard. He died without issue overseas before 29 May 1342, when the Douglas estates were settled on his younger brother, William, as heir of their father. Scots Peerage 3 (1906): 142 (sub Earl of Douglas).

He married probably shortly before 13 Nov. 1357 MARGARET OF MAR, daughter of Donald, Earl of Mar, by Isabel Stewart. They had one son, James, Knt. [Earl of Douglas and Mar] [see BRUS 10.viii], and one daughter, Isabel [Countess of Mar and Garioch] (wife of Malcolm de Drummond, Knt., Lord of Mar, and Alexander Stewart, Knt., Earl of Mar and Garioch [see BRUS 10.iv.a]).

He was present in the Parliament of Scotland held 20 Sept. 1397. In the following January, probably on the 26th, he was created Earl of Douglas. He attended the Coronation of King Robert II at Scone 26 March 1371. His wife, Margaret, was heiress c.1374 to her brother, Thomas, Earl of Mar, Lord of Garioch, by which she became suo jure Countess of Mar.

“ROBERT DE GANT (or GAUNT), of Folkingham, Barton-upon-Humber, Edenham, and Heckington, Lincolnshire, Burley, Rutland, etc., 2nd son. He married (1st) before 10 August 1152 (date of charter) ALICE PAYNELL, widow of Richard de Courcy (living c.1140-7), and daughter and heiress of William Paynell, of Hooton Pagnell, Yorkshire, Saltby, Leicestershire, Irnham, Lincolnshire, etc., by Avice (or Amice) de Rumilly, daughter of William Meschin. They had one daughter, Avice. At an unspecified date, he and his wife, Alice, exchanged lands on the north side of the way called Levigatha for lands on the south side of the way with the abbot and monks of Vaudey. At an unknown date, he confirmed the former gift of William Paynell to Kirkstall Abbey of two carucates in Keighley, Yorkshire. At an unknown date, he confirmed to the canons of Drax all that William Paynell and Avice his wife gave to them in frank almoin. He likewise granted to the canons of Drax one carucate of land which William Paynell gave them and three tofts in Saltby, Leicestershire, also giving them one carucate of land of his demesne in the same manor and two tofts adjoining. His wife, Alice, died before 1180-81. He married (2nd) GUNNOR D'AUBENEY, daughter of Ralph d'Aubeney, of Aubourn and Binbrook, Lincolnshire, by Sibyl, daughter of Thebaud de Valoines. They had two sons, Gilbert, Knt., and Stephen, and one daughter, Ellen. His wife, Gunnor, was co-heiress to her brother, Ralph d'Aubeney, by which she inherited the manors of Aubourn and Binbrook, Lincolnshire, and North Dalton, and Upper and Lower Naburn, Yorkshire. He was heir in 1185 to his niece, Alice de Gant, Countess of Huntingdon and Northampton. Sometime before 1186 he conveyed the advowson of the church of Irnham, Lincolnshire, together with one toft in Hunmanby, Yorkshire, to Bardney Abbey. Sometime before 1189 he and his wife, Gunnor, conveyed one bovate of land in the territory of Edenharn, Lincolnshire to the Abbey of St. Mary of Vaudey. Sometime before 1191, he and his nephew [nepos], Robert de Gant, witnessed a charter of Robert son of Peter Scot to Kirkstall Abbey. At an unknown date, he granted Robert de Well eight acres in Salterhaga near Skeridleby, Lincolnshire. ROBERT DE GANT died in 1191, and was buried at Vaudey Abbey, Lincolnshire. His widow, Gunnor, married (2nd) before 25 April 1197 (date of fine) (as his 2nd wife) NICHOLAS DE STUTEVILLE, of Cottingham, Yorkshire, Liddel, Cumberland, Kettleby Thorpe and Bigby, Lincolnshire, etc., 2nd son of Robert de Stuteville, of Cottingham, Yorkshire, by his wife, Helewise. On 25 April 1197 he and his wife, Gunnor, together with one of her sisters and her husband and the widower of her eldest sister, were plaintiffs in a final concord by which William d'Aubeney (their first cousin) recognized their right to the lands of Ralph d'Aubeney, namely a fee of 15 knights in Aubourn, Lincolnshire, and elsewhere in Lincolnshire and Yorkshire.

“WILLIAM DE FERRERS, Knt., 5th Earl of Derby, Constable of Bolsover Castle, 1235-6, son and heir, born about 1193. He married (1st) before 14 May 1219 SIBYL MARSHAL, died before 1238, 3rd daughter of William Marshal, Knt., 4th Earl of Pembroke (or Strigoil), hereditary Master Marshal, by Isabel, daughter of Richard Fitz Gilbert (nicknamed "Strongbow”), 2nd Earl of Pembroke (or Strigoil) [see MARSHAL 3 for her ancestry]. They had seven daughters, Agnes, Isabel, Maud, Sibyl, Joan, Agatha (wife of Hugh de Mortimer), and Eleanor. He was afflicted from youth with gout, and habitually travelled in a chariot or litter. He accompanied the king to France in 1230. He married (2nd) in or before 1238 MARGARET (or MARGERY) DE QUINCY, daughter and co-heiress of Roger de Quincy, 2nd Earl of Winchester, by his 1st wife, Ellen, daughter and co-heiress of Alan Fitz Roland, lord of Galloway, hereditary Constable of Scotland [see QUINCY 7 for her ancestry]. They had two sons, Robert, Knt. [6th Earl of Derby], and William, Knt., and three daughters, Elizabeth, Joan, and Agnes. He had livery of Chardey Castle and the rest of his mother's lands 10 Nov. 1247. He was invested with the Earldom of Derby 2 Feb. 1247/8. In 1245 he was granted respite of forest offences because he "laboured under infirmity." He presented to the church of Brington, Northamptonshire in 1250. While passing over a bridge at St. Neots, Huntingdonshire, he was accidentally thrown from his chariot sustaining broken limb bones from which he never recovered. SIR WILLIAM DE FERRERS, 5th Earl of Derby, died at Evington, Leicestershire 24 (or 28) March 1254, and was buried at Merevale Abbey, Warwickshire. His widow, Margaret, presented to the churches of Keyston, Huntingdonshire, 1255, Irchester, Northamptonshire, 1267, and Higham Ferrers, Northamptonshire, 1268, 1275. She was co-heiress in 1264 to her father, Roger de Quincy, Knt., Earl of Winchester, by which she inherited the hereditary office of Constable of Scotland, together with the manors of Groby (in Ratby) and Thurnby, Leicestershire, Ware, Hertfordshire, Keyston and Southoe, Huntingdonshire, Chinnor, Oxfordshire, etc. In 1268-9 the Prior and convent of Lenton released the church of Irchester, Northamptonshire to Margaret de Ferrers, Countess of Derby, who in turn levied a fine of it to the use of herself and her heirs. In 1270 she resigned the office of Constable of Scotland to her brother-in-law, Alexander Comyn, Knt., Earl of Buchan. In 1270 Margaret and her sisters, Ellen and Elizabeth, gave license for the election of William de Shaldeston as Prior of the Hospital of St. James and St. John at Brackley, Northamptonshire. In 1272-3 Margaret arraigned an assize of novel disseisin against John le Fauconer, of Thurcaston, and others, touching a tenement in Groby, Leicestershire. In 1273 Philip de Fifife sued her for the next presentation to the church of Fyfield, Berkshire. In 1274-5 Ellen de Quincy and Alexander Comyn and his wife, Elizabeth, sued their sister, Margaret de Ferrers, Countess of Derby, regarding possessions in Eynesbury, Huntingdonshire. On the assignment of Quincy dower lands in 1275, Margaret was assigned a third part of the manor of Southoe Ferrers, Huntingdonshire, together with a third part of the chief messuage. In 1275-6 William de Karuill' arraigned an assize of mort d'ancestor against her touching a messuage and land in Brampton, Northamptonshire. Sometime in the period, 1275-9, she acquired the one-third share of the same manor assigned to her sister, Elizabeth Comyn, thus increasing Margaret's share to two-thirds. In 1276 Margaret had letters of protection, she then going to Scotland. In 1277-8 Alice widow of John de Kent arraigned an assize of novel disseisin against her and others touching a tenement in Chardey, Staffordshire. About 1281 Margaret de Ferrers, Countess of Derby, Ellen la Zouche, and Alexander Comyn, Earl of Buchan, and his wife, Elizabeth, sued Ranulph son of Robert de Neville and his wife, Euphame, regarding 11-1/2 virgates in Syston, Leicestershire. Margaret, Countess of Derby, died shortly before 12 March 1280/1, on which date custody of all lands late of the said Countess Margaret were granted by the king to Richard Fukeram to hold during pleasure, so that he cultivate and sow them and answer for the issues at the Exchequer. In 1282 custody of the manor of Southoe, Huntingdonshire late of Margaret, Countess of Derby, deceased was granted by the king to John de Aese, Vicomte of Tartas to hold during the minority of the heirs. The same month custody of the manor of Keyston, Huntingdonshire late of Margaret, Countess of Derby, deceased was likewise granted by the king to John de Byu.elard to hold during the minority of the heirs. In 1281 the king ratified the demise of John de Aysse, Vicomte of Tartas, to Baldwin Wake and Hawise his wife of custody of the manor of Southoe, Huntingdonshire which he had of the gift of the king by the extent of £40 2s. 8d. yearly to hold during the minority of the heirs of Margery, Countess of Derby.

iv. [MASTER] THOMAS DE CANTELOWE, Archdeacon of Stafford, Precentor of York, Chancellor of Oxford University, Chancellor of England, Bishop of Hereford, born about 1220. He and his brother, Hugh de Cantelowe, went to Paris in the early 1240s where they pursued arts degrees. He was appointed Rector of Wintringharn, Lincolnshire in 1244. In 1245 Thomas and his brother, Hugh, attended the 1st Council of Lyons in 1245, where Thomas was appointed papal chaplain by Pope Innocent IV, and also received a dispensation allowing him to hold benefices in plurality. After attaining his Master of Arts at Paris, he completed his studies at Oxford in canon law c.1255, incepting as a doctor in that faculty. He was presented to the church of Deighton, Yorkshire by Agatha Trussebut in 1247. He Was Rector of Aston Cantlow, Warwickshire in 1253. In 1261 he was elected Chancellor of Oxford University. In December 1263 he went to Amiens to represent baronial interests in their disputes with King Henry III. He drafted the three documents through which the barons' case was submitted to the arbitrament of Louis IX. The French king's rejection of the baronial proposals, in the mise of Amiens of January 1264, was the catalyst that brought Montfortians into open conflict with King Henry III. After Simon de Montfort's victory at the Battle of Lewes in May 1264, the magnate council of nine, and a compliant King Henry III, in February 1265 appointed Thomas as Chancellor of England. Though his execution of duties as chancellor seems to have been of brief duration, the acts he carried out were performed with his usual fastidious attention to detail and consciousness of iresponskality. Following the Battle of Evesham in 1265, he remained abroad for several years, studying theology at Paris. In 1268 he was granted a dispensation to be absent for three years to study theology. About 1272 be had returned to Oxford where, in June 1273, he became a doctor of theology. He was again appointed Chancellor of the university in Jan. 1274, where he played an important part in quelling a student riot between the `northeners' and the 'southerners'. In May 1274 he attended the 2nd Council of Lyons where, as at the first Lyons council, he was made a papal chaplain. He was elected Bishop of Hereford 15 June 1275, and was consecrated by Archbishop Kilwardby 8 September 1275. THOMAS DE CANTELOWE, Bishop of Hereford, died at Castrum Florenti (Ferento, now in ruins) 25 August 1282. He left a will dated 18 August 1282. His flesh and viscera were buried at the monastery of San Severo outside Orvieto. His bones were returned to England and placed under a slab in the east end of Hereford Cathedral, where they remained until moved into a table tomb in the north transept in 1287. His successor Richard Swinfield (died 1317) became a tireless promoter of Cantelowe's canonization. Between 1287 and 1312 nearly 500 miracles were recorded as evidence of his sanctity, a figure surpassed in the surviving records of medieval England only by the 700 attributed to Thomas Becket. Swinfield's attempts to secure the canonization of his predecessor had little immediate success, though after an inquisition authorized by Clement V found that Cantelowe had died in communion with the church, the pope ordered an investigation of his life and miracles, which took place in London and Hereford. Both inquisitorial processes occurred in 1307. Continued support for the bishop's cause, by Kings Edward I and Edward II and by many other secular and ecclesiastical magnates, resulted in his canonization 17 April 1320. A new shrine was constructed in the east end of the cathedral. On 25 October 1349, in the presence of King Edward III and many other lay and clerical notables, his bones were translated from the north transept to this new location. There the remains lay undisturbed until 1538, when, along with much else that represented papal authority in England, the shrine, its ornaments, and its contents were removed.

“WILLIAM DE CANTELOWE, Knt., of Eaton Bray, Bedfordshire, Ellesborough, Buckinghamshire, Cold Hatton, Eyton, Harley, Hope Bowdler, Marton, Meole Brace, Stanwardine-on-campo, Stapleton, Whittingslow, and Wilderley, Shropshire, Aston Cantlow, Hunningham, Ipsley, and [Upper] Shuckburgh, Warwickshire, Poulton, Wiltshire, etc., Steward of the Royal Household, 1239-51, Sheriff of Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire, 1239-40, Keeper of the Town of Shrewsbury, Constable of Nottingham Castle, Keeper of Lundy Island, son and heir. He married (1st) before July 1215 or 1216 (date of pardon) MILICENT DE GOURNAY, Countess of Evreux, widow of Amaury de Montfort, Count of Evreux in Normandy, Earl of Gloucester in England (died before November 1213), and daughter of Hugh (or Hugues) de Gournay (died 1214), seigneur of Gournay-en-Brie, and of Wendover, Buckinghamshire, Houghton, Bedfordshire, Caister and Cantley, Norfolk, Mapledurham, Oxfordshire, etc, by Juliane, daughter of Aubrey II, Count of Dammartin [see GOURNAY 4 for her ancestry]. They had five sons, William, Knt., [Master] Thomas [Bishop of Hereford, Chancellor of England, Chancellor of Oxford University], [Master] Hugh [Archdeacon of Gloucester], John, and Nicholas, and two daughters, Agnes and Juliane. Like his father, he was named by Roger of Wendover as one of King John's "evil counselors." In 1217 Gilbert de Clare, Earl of Gloucester, granted William's wife, Milicent, the manors of Marlow, Buckinghamshire and Burford, Oxfordshire, together with the life grant of the viii of Hambleden, Buckinghamshire in satisfaction of Milicent's claims to dower in the lands of her former husband, Amaury de Evreux. In 1217 William was at the Siege of Mountsorrel and at the Battle of Lincoln. By the mid-1220s he was a follower of Ranulph, Earl of Chester, and witnessed many of his charters. He participated in Earl Ranulph's armed demonstration at the Tower of London in 1223, but then submitted with the earl. He presented to the churches of Bulwick, Northamptonshire, 1226 and 1247, and Barby, Northamptonshire, 1230. He obtained a confirmation of the manor of Aston Cantlow, Warwickshire in 1227 and again in 1231. He joined Chester on the king's expedition to Brittany in 1230. He married (2nd) after Michaelmas 1233 (date of lawsuit) MAUD FITZ GEOFFREY, widow of Henry d'Oilly (died 1232), of Hook Norton, Kidlington, and Little Minster (in Minster Lovell), Oxfordshire, and daughter of Geoffrey Fitz Peter, Knt., Earl of Essex, by his 2nd wife, Aveline, daughter of Roger de Clare, Earl of Hertford [see ESSEX 2 for her ancestry]. They had no issue. Sometime in the period, 1227-36, Maud had the manor of Gussage St. Michael, Dorset by gift from her half-sister, Maud de Mandeville, Countess of Essex and Hereford. In 1234 he served as one of the executors of the will of Ranulph, Earl of Chester. In 1236 he went on pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela. In 1237 the king granted him the manors of Great Bowden and Market Harborough, Leicestershire for life. In 1241 he was one of the English arbitrators with Dafydd of Gwynedd. He was appointed one of the guardians of the realm during the king's expedition to Poitou in 1242. In 1242 William son of William Marmion sued him. In 1242-3 he presented to the church of Coningsby, Lincolnshire, in right of his ward, Philip Marmion. In 1244 Peter de Freney conveyed the manor of Clipsharn, Rutland to him. In 1244-5 William de Cantelowe, senior, levied a fine by which William de Haket was bound not to sell, injure, waste, or spoil any part of the manor of Little Merston (in West Camel), Somerset, as it was only his or life, and afterwards should go to the said William de Cantelowe. He was one of the proctors of the English baronage at the Council of Lyons in 1245, delivering a lengthy complaint against Roman exactions. His wife, Maud, had a gift of bucks from Sherwood Forest by the king in 1245 and 1248. SIR WILLIAM DE CANTILOWE died testate 22 Feb. 1250/1. His viscera was buried at Oseney Abbey, Oxfordshire. In 1252 his widow, Maud, went to Scotland with Margaret, the king's daughter, Queen of Scotland, by order of the king. She held the advowson of the Rectory of Berwick St. James, Wiltshire for life. In 1260 Hawise de London, widow of Patrick de Chaworth, Knt., leased to Maud and to Maud's nephew, John son of John Fitz Geoffrey, the manor of East Garston, Berkshire for a term of 11 years. His widow, Maud, died 1 March 1260/1.

iv. [MASTER] THOMAS DE CANTELOWE, Archdeacon of Stafford, Precentor of York, Chancellor of Oxford University, Chancellor of England, Bishop of Hereford, born about 1220. He and his brother, Hugh de Cantelowe, went to Paris in the early 1240s where they pursued arts degrees. He was appointed Rector of Wintringharn, Lincolnshire in 1244. In 1245 Thomas and his brother, Hugh, attended the 1st Council of Lyons in 1245, where Thomas was appointed papal chaplain by Pope Innocent IV, and also received a dispensation allowing him to hold benefices in plurality. After attaining his Master of Arts at Paris, he completed his studies at Oxford in canon law c.1255, incepting as a doctor in that faculty. He was presented to the church of Deighton, Yorkshire by Agatha Trussebut in 1247. He Was Rector of Aston Cantlow, Warwickshire in 1253. In 1261 he was elected Chancellor of Oxford University. In December 1263 he went to Amiens to represent baronial interests in their disputes with King Henry III. He drafted the three documents through which the barons' case was submitted to the arbitrament of Louis IX. The French king's rejection of the baronial proposals, in the mise of Amiens of January 1264, was the catalyst that brought Montfortians into open conflict with King Henry III. After Simon de Montfort's victory at the Battle of Lewes in May 1264, the magnate council of nine, and a compliant King Henry III, in February 1265 appointed Thomas as Chancellor of England. Though his execution of duties as chancellor seems to have been of brief duration, the acts he carried out were performed with his usual fastidious attention to detail and consciousness of iresponskality. Following the Battle of Evesham in 1265, he remained abroad for several years, studying theology at Paris. In 1268 he was granted a dispensation to be absent for three years to study theology. About 1272 be had returned to Oxford where, in June 1273, he became a doctor of theology. He was again appointed Chancellor of the university in Jan. 1274, where he played an important part in quelling a student riot between the `northeners' and the 'southerners'. In May 1274 he attended the 2nd Council of Lyons where, as at the first Lyons council, he was made a papal chaplain. He was elected Bishop of Hereford 15 June 1275, and was consecrated by Archbishop Kilwardby 8 September 1275. THOMAS DE CANTELOWE, Bishop of Hereford, died at Castrum Florenti (Ferento, now in ruins) 25 August 1282. He left a will dated 18 August 1282. His flesh and viscera were buried at the monastery of San Severo outside Orvieto. His bones were returned to England and placed under a slab in the east end of Hereford Cathedral, where they remained until moved into a table tomb in the north transept in 1287. His successor Richard Swinfield (died 1317) became a tireless promoter of Cantelowe's canonization. Between 1287 and 1312 nearly 500 miracles were recorded as evidence of his sanctity, a figure surpassed in the surviving records of medieval England only by the 700 attributed to Thomas Becket. Swinfield's attempts to secure the canonization of his predecessor had little immediate success, though after an inquisition authorized by Clement V found that Cantelowe had died in communion with the church, the pope ordered an investigation of his life and miracles, which took place in London and Hereford. Both inquisitorial processes occurred in 1307. Continued support for the bishop's cause, by Kings Edward I and Edward II and by many other secular and ecclesiastical magnates, resulted in his canonization 17 April 1320. A new shrine was constructed in the east end of the cathedral. On 25 October 1349, in the presence of King Edward III and many other lay and clerical notables, his bones were translated from the north transept to this new location. There the remains lay undisturbed until 1538, when, along with much else that represented papal authority in England, the shrine, its ornaments, and its contents were removed.

“WILLIAM DE CANTELOWE, Knt., of Eaton Bray, Bedfordshire, Ellesborough, Buckinghamshire, Cold Hatton, Eyton, Harley, Hope Bowdler, Marton, Meole Brace, Stanwardine-on-campo, Stapleton, Whittingslow, and Wilderley, Shropshire, Aston Cantlow, Hunningham, Ipsley, and [Upper] Shuckburgh, Warwickshire, Poulton, Wiltshire, etc., Steward of the Royal Household, 1239-51, Sheriff of Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire, 1239-40, Keeper of the Town of Shrewsbury, Constable of Nottingham Castle, Keeper of Lundy Island, son and heir. He married (1st) before July 1215 or 1216 (date of pardon) MILICENT DE GOURNAY, Countess of Evreux, widow of Amaury de Montfort, Count of Evreux in Normandy, Earl of Gloucester in England (died before November 1213), and daughter of Hugh (or Hugues) de Gournay (died 1214), seigneur of Gournay-en-Brie, and of Wendover, Buckinghamshire, Houghton, Bedfordshire, Caister and Cantley, Norfolk, Mapledurham, Oxfordshire, etc, by Juliane, daughter of Aubrey II, Count of Dammartin [see GOURNAY 4 for her ancestry]. They had five sons, William, Knt., [Master] Thomas [Bishop of Hereford, Chancellor of England, Chancellor of Oxford University], [Master] Hugh [Archdeacon of Gloucester], John, and Nicholas, and two daughters, Agnes and Juliane. Like his father, he was named by Roger of Wendover as one of King John's "evil counselors." In 1217 Gilbert de Clare, Earl of Gloucester, granted William's wife, Milicent, the manors of Marlow, Buckinghamshire and Burford, Oxfordshire, together with the life grant of the viii of Hambleden, Buckinghamshire in satisfaction of Milicent's claims to dower in the lands of her former husband, Amaury de Evreux. In 1217 William was at the Siege of Mountsorrel and at the Battle of Lincoln. By the mid-1220s he was a follower of Ranulph, Earl of Chester, and witnessed many of his charters. He participated in Earl Ranulph's armed demonstration at the Tower of London in 1223, but then submitted with the earl. He presented to the churches of Bulwick, Northamptonshire, 1226 and 1247, and Barby, Northamptonshire, 1230. He obtained a confirmation of the manor of Aston Cantlow, Warwickshire in 1227 and again in 1231. He joined Chester on the king's expedition to Brittany in 1230. He married (2nd) after Michaelmas 1233 (date of lawsuit) MAUD FITZ GEOFFREY, widow of Henry d'Oilly (died 1232), of Hook Norton, Kidlington, and Little Minster (in Minster Lovell), Oxfordshire, and daughter of Geoffrey Fitz Peter, Knt., Earl of Essex, by his 2nd wife, Aveline, daughter of Roger de Clare, Earl of Hertford [see ESSEX 2 for her ancestry]. They had no issue. Sometime in the period, 1227-36, Maud had the manor of Gussage St. Michael, Dorset by gift from her half-sister, Maud de Mandeville, Countess of Essex and Hereford. In 1234 he served as one of the executors of the will of Ranulph, Earl of Chester. In 1236 he went on pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela. In 1237 the king granted him the manors of Great Bowden and Market Harborough, Leicestershire for life. In 1241 he was one of the English arbitrators with Dafydd of Gwynedd. He was appointed one of the guardians of the realm during the king's expedition to Poitou in 1242. In 1242 William son of William Marmion sued him. In 1242-3 he presented to the church of Coningsby, Lincolnshire, in right of his ward, Philip Marmion. In 1244 Peter de Freney conveyed the manor of Clipsharn, Rutland to him. In 1244-5 William de Cantelowe, senior, levied a fine by which William de Haket was bound not to sell, injure, waste, or spoil any part of the manor of Little Merston (in West Camel), Somerset, as it was only his or life, and afterwards should go to the said William de Cantelowe. He was one of the proctors of the English baronage at the Council of Lyons in 1245, delivering a lengthy complaint against Roman exactions. His wife, Maud, had a gift of bucks from Sherwood Forest by the king in 1245 and 1248. SIR WILLIAM DE CANTILOWE died testate 22 Feb. 1250/1. His viscera was buried at Oseney Abbey, Oxfordshire. In 1252 his widow, Maud, went to Scotland with Margaret, the king's daughter, Queen of Scotland, by order of the king. She held the advowson of the Rectory of Berwick St. James, Wiltshire for life. In 1260 Hawise de London, widow of Patrick de Chaworth, Knt., leased to Maud and to Maud's nephew, John son of John Fitz Geoffrey, the manor of East Garston, Berkshire for a term of 11 years. His widow, Maud, died 1 March 1260/1.

iv. [MASTER] THOMAS DE CANTELOWE, Archdeacon of Stafford, Precentor of York, Chancellor of Oxford University, Chancellor of England, Bishop of Hereford, born about 1220. He and his brother, Hugh de Cantelowe, went to Paris in the early 1240s where they pursued arts degrees. He was appointed Rector of Wintringharn, Lincolnshire in 1244. In 1245 Thomas and his brother, Hugh, attended the 1st Council of Lyons in 1245, where Thomas was appointed papal chaplain by Pope Innocent IV, and also received a dispensation allowing him to hold benefices in plurality. After attaining his Master of Arts at Paris, he completed his studies at Oxford in canon law c.1255, incepting as a doctor in that faculty. He was presented to the church of Deighton, Yorkshire by Agatha Trussebut in 1247. He Was Rector of Aston Cantlow, Warwickshire in 1253. In 1261 he was elected Chancellor of Oxford University. In December 1263 he went to Amiens to represent baronial interests in their disputes with King Henry III. He drafted the three documents through which the barons' case was submitted to the arbitrament of Louis IX. The French king's rejection of the baronial proposals, in the mise of Amiens of January 1264, was the catalyst that brought Montfortians into open conflict with King Henry III. After Simon de Montfort's victory at the Battle of Lewes in May 1264, the magnate council of nine, and a compliant King Henry III, in February 1265 appointed Thomas as Chancellor of England. Though his execution of duties as chancellor seems to have been of brief duration, the acts he carried out were performed with his usual fastidious attention to detail and consciousness of iresponskality. Following the Battle of Evesham in 1265, he remained abroad for several years, studying theology at Paris. In 1268 he was granted a dispensation to be absent for three years to study theology. About 1272 be had returned to Oxford where, in June 1273, he became a doctor of theology. He was again appointed Chancellor of the university in Jan. 1274, where he played an important part in quelling a student riot between the `northeners' and the 'southerners'. In May 1274 he attended the 2nd Council of Lyons where, as at the first Lyons council, he was made a papal chaplain. He was elected Bishop of Hereford 15 June 1275, and was consecrated by Archbishop Kilwardby 8 September 1275. THOMAS DE CANTELOWE, Bishop of Hereford, died at Castrum Florenti (Ferento, now in ruins) 25 August 1282. He left a will dated 18 August 1282. His flesh and viscera were buried at the monastery of San Severo outside Orvieto. His bones were returned to England and placed under a slab in the east end of Hereford Cathedral, where they remained until moved into a table tomb in the north transept in 1287. His successor Richard Swinfield (died 1317) became a tireless promoter of Cantelowe's canonization. Between 1287 and 1312 nearly 500 miracles were recorded as evidence of his sanctity, a figure surpassed in the surviving records of medieval England only by the 700 attributed to Thomas Becket. Swinfield's attempts to secure the canonization of his predecessor had little immediate success, though after an inquisition authorized by Clement V found that Cantelowe had died in communion with the church, the pope ordered an investigation of his life and miracles, which took place in London and Hereford. Both inquisitorial processes occurred in 1307. Continued support for the bishop's cause, by Kings Edward I and Edward II and by many other secular and ecclesiastical magnates, resulted in his canonization 17 April 1320. A new shrine was constructed in the east end of the cathedral. On 25 October 1349, in the presence of King Edward III and many other lay and clerical notables, his bones were translated from the north transept to this new location. There the remains lay undisturbed until 1538, when, along with much else that represented papal authority in England, the shrine, its ornaments, and its contents were removed.

“ROGER DE MOWBRAY, Knt., of Thirsk, Yorkshire, younger son, born about 1220 (came of age in 1241). He was heir in 1230 to his older brother, Nele (or Nigel) de Mowbray. He married (1st) after 13 April 1238 (date of grant of marriage) DE FURNIVAL, daughter of Thomas de Furnival, of Worksop, Nottinghamshire, and Sheffield, Yorkshire, by Bertha,* daughter of William de Ferrers, Earl of Chester [see FURNIVAL 8 for her ancestry]. They had two daughters, Joan and Elizabeth (or Isabel). He had the grant of a market and fair at Hovingham, Yorkshire in 1252. He married (2nd) before 1257 MAUD DE BEAUCHAMP, daughter of William de Beauchamp, Knt., of Bedford, Bedfordshire, by Ida, daughter of William Longespée, Knt., Earl of Salisbury (illegitimate son of King Henry II of England) [see BOTETOURT 6 for her ancestry]. They had six sons, Roger, Knt. [1st Lord Mowbray], John, Edmund, William, Andrew, and Robert. He was summoned for service in Scotland in 1258, and for service against the Welsh in 1260. He appears to have sided with King Henry III in the earlier days of the opposition of the Barons. SIR ROGER DE MOWBRAY died shortly before 18 October 1263, and was buried in the church of the Friars Preachers, Pontefract, Yorkshire. His widow, Maud, was co-heiress c.1266-7 to her niece, Joan, daughter of Simon de Beauchamp, Knt., by which she inherited a one-third share of the barony of Bedford, Bedfordshire.

He married (1st) before July 1215 or 1216 (date of pardon) MILICENT DE GOURNAY, Countess of Evreux, widow of Amaury de Montfort, Count of Evreux in Normandy, Earl of Gloucester in England (died before November 1213), and daughter of Hugh (or Hugues) de Gournay (died 1214), seigneur of Gournay-en-Brie, and of Wendover, Buckinghamshire, Houghton, Bedfordshire, Caister and Cantley, Norfolk, Mapledurham, Oxfordshire, etc, by Juliane, daughter of Aubrey II, Count of Dammartin [see GOURNAY 4 for her ancestry]. They had five sons, William, Knt., [Master] Thomas [Bishop of Hereford, Chancellor of England, Chancellor of Oxford University], [Master] Hugh [Archdeacon of Gloucester], John, and Nicholas, and two daughters, Agnes and Juliane. Like his father, he was named by Roger of Wendover as one of King John's "evil counselors." In 1217 Gilbert de Clare, Earl of Gloucester, granted William's wife, Milicent, the manors of Marlow, Buckinghamshire and Burford, Oxfordshire, together with the life grant of the viii of Hambleden, Buckinghamshire in satisfaction of Milicent's claims to dower in the lands of her former husband, Amaury de Evreux. In 1217 William was at the Siege of Mountsorrel and at the Battle of Lincoln. By the mid-1220s he was a follower of Ranulph, Earl of Chester, and witnessed many of his charters. He participated in Earl Ranulph's armed demonstration at the Tower of London in 1223, but then submitted with the earl. He presented to the churches of Bulwick, Northamptonshire, 1226 and 1247, and Barby, Northamptonshire, 1230. He obtained a confirmation of the manor of Aston Cantlow, Warwickshire in 1227 and again in 1231. He joined Chester on the king's expedition to Brittany in 1230.

They had no issue. Sometime in the period, 1227-36, Maud had the manor of Gussage St. Michael, Dorset by gift from her half-sister, Maud de Mandeville, Countess of Essex and Hereford. In 1234 he served as one of the executors of the will of Ranulph, Earl of Chester. In 1236 he went on pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela. In 1237 the king granted him the manors of Great Bowden and Market Harborough, Leicestershire for life. In 1241 he was one of the English arbitrators with Dafydd of Gwynedd. He was appointed one of the guardians of the realm during the king's expedition to Poitou in 1242. In 1242 William son of William Marmion sued him. In 1242-3 he presented to the church of Coningsby, Lincolnshire, in right of his ward, Philip Marmion. In 1244 Peter de Freney conveyed the manor of Clipsharn, Rutland to him. In 1244-5 William de Cantelowe, senior, levied a fine by which William de Haket was bound not to sell, injure, waste, or spoil any part of the manor of Little Merston (in West Camel), Somerset, as it was only his or life, and afterwards should go to the said William de Cantelowe. He was one of the proctors of the English baronage at the Council of Lyons in 1245, delivering a lengthy complaint against Roman exactions.

iv. [MASTER] THOMAS DE CANTELOWE, Archdeacon of Stafford, Precentor of York, Chancellor of Oxford University, Chancellor of England, Bishop of Hereford, born about 1220. He and his brother, Hugh de Cantelowe, went to Paris in the early 1240s where they pursued arts degrees. He was appointed Rector of Wintringharn, Lincolnshire in 1244. In 1245 Thomas and his brother, Hugh, attended the 1st Council of Lyons in 1245, where Thomas was appointed papal chaplain by Pope Innocent IV, and also received a dispensation allowing him to hold benefices in plurality. After attaining his Master of Arts at Paris, he completed his studies at Oxford in canon law c.1255, incepting as a doctor in that faculty. He was presented to the church of Deighton, Yorkshire by Agatha Trussebut in 1247. He Was Rector of Aston Cantlow, Warwickshire in 1253. In 1261 he was elected Chancellor of Oxford University. In December 1263 he went to Amiens to represent baronial interests in their disputes with King Henry III. He drafted the three documents through which the barons' case was submitted to the arbitrament of Louis IX. The French king's rejection of the baronial proposals, in the mise of Amiens of January 1264, was the catalyst that brought Montfortians into open conflict with King Henry III. After Simon de Montfort's victory at the Battle of Lewes in May 1264, the magnate council of nine, and a compliant King Henry III, in February 1265 appointed Thomas as Chancellor of England. Though his execution of duties as chancellor seems to have been of brief duration, the acts he carried out were performed with his usual fastidious attention to detail and consciousness of iresponskality. Following the Battle of Evesham in 1265, he remained abroad for several years, studying theology at Paris. In 1268 he was granted a dispensation to be absent for three years to study theology. About 1272 be had returned to Oxford where, in June 1273, he became a doctor of theology. He was again appointed Chancellor of the university in Jan. 1274, where he played an important part in quelling a student riot between the `northeners' and the 'southerners'. In May 1274 he attended the 2nd Council of Lyons where, as at the first Lyons council, he was made a papal chaplain. He was elected Bishop of Hereford 15 June 1275, and was consecrated by Archbishop Kilwardby 8 September 1275. THOMAS DE CANTELOWE, Bishop of Hereford, died at Castrum Florenti (Ferento, now in ruins) 25 August 1282. He left a will dated 18 August 1282. His flesh and viscera were buried at the monastery of San Severo outside Orvieto. His bones were returned to England and placed under a slab in the east end of Hereford Cathedral, where they remained until moved into a table tomb in the north transept in 1287. His successor Richard Swinfield (died 1317) became a tireless promoter of Cantelowe's canonization. Between 1287 and 1312 nearly 500 miracles were recorded as evidence of his sanctity, a figure surpassed in the surviving records of medieval England only by the 700 attributed to Thomas Becket. Swinfield's attempts to secure the canonization of his predecessor had little immediate success, though after an inquisition authorized by Clement V found that Cantelowe had died in communion with the church, the pope ordered an investigation of his life and miracles, which took place in London and Hereford. Both inquisitorial processes occurred in 1307. Continued support for the bishop's cause, by Kings Edward I and Edward II and by many other secular and ecclesiastical magnates, resulted in his canonization 17 April 1320. A new shrine was constructed in the east end of the cathedral. On 25 October 1349, in the presence of King Edward III and many other lay and clerical notables, his bones were translated from the north transept to this new location. There the remains lay undisturbed until 1538, when, along with much else that represented papal authority in England, the shrine, its ornaments, and its contents were removed.

“ROBERT DE TREGOZ, Knt., of Trégots, Favarches, and St. Romphaire (all in Normandy), Bailiff of Côtentin, 1180, Sheriff of Wiltshire, 1191-2, Keeper of Salisbury and Clarendon Castles, and of Bristol, Warden of Gavray, Neaufle, and Similly Castles, and, in right of his wife, of Shipton Bellinger, Hampshire, Ewyas Harold, Herefordshire, Lydiard Tregoz, Wiltshire, etc., son and heir. He married SIBYL DE EWYAS (or EWIAS), daughter and co-heiress of Robert de Ewyas, of Ewyas Harold, Herefordshire, Lydiard Tregoze, Wiltshire, etc., by his wife, Pernel. They had three sons, Robert, John, and William [Rector of St. Keyne]. He was in constant attendance on King Richard I, witnessing a large number of his charters in England and Normandy. In 1194 the king granted him land in Martinsgrove (Groves in Oving), Sussex of the annual value of 100s. In 1197 he found a religious house near his castle as a cell to the abbey of Hambie. A few years later, he gave land in his manor of La Grave (in Oving), Sussex to Boxgrove Priory. He continued to enjoy royal favor under King John, many of whose charters he attested, and by his adherence to him lost his possessions in Normandy. In the inquest of 1212, he appears as holding in Herefordshire one knight's fee and a half in right of his wife. SIR ROBERT DE TREGOZ died shortly before 4 June 1214. In 1214 his widow, as Sibyl de Ewias, arraigned an assize of ultima presentacionis against the Abbot of Gloucester regarding the church of Brean, Somerset. In 1218 his widow, Sibyl, rendered account for 800 marks not to be distrained to marry, to marry as she chose, and to have her maritagium and dower of Robert de Tregoz [see Pipe Roll 2 Henry III, p. 93 (sub Herefordshire)]. In Nov. 1218 the lands of Robert de Tregoz in Tregots, Favarches, and St. Romphaire were granted to King Philip Augustus to Mile de Lévis. She married (2nd) before 13 Feb. 1216/7 ROGER DE CLIFFORD, of Tenbury, Worcestershire, Constable of Hanley Castle, 1216, Constable of St. Briavels Castle and Warden of the Forest of Dean, 1224-30, younger son of Walter de Clifford, of Clifford, Herefordshire, Corham, Shropshire, etc., Sheriff of Herefordshire, by Agnes, daughter of Roger de Condy. They had one son, Roger. He fought in Ireland in 1210. He adhered to King John against the Barons. In 1217 he was granted the manor of Axford, Wiltshire by the king. In 1221 he was present at the Siege of Bytharn Castle in Lincolnshire. In 1222 he brought a suit against the Prior of Gloucester regarding the advowson of the church of Burnham, Somerset, he pleading that the son of Robert de Ewyas, father of the plaintiff's wife, last presented to the church. He was granted a weekly market at Tenbury, Worcestershire in 1223 and free warren at Lydiard, Wiltshire in 1226. He was granted the manor of Severn Stoke, Worcestershire by William Marshal, Earl of Pembroke about 1229. In 1230 he was granted the manor of Slaughter, Gloucestershire by the king. ROGER DE CLIFFORD died shortly before 28 August 1231, and was buried in Dore Abbey, Herefordshire. His widow, Sibyl, as "Sibyl de Ewias, lady of Burneham," acknowledged that Helias the chaplain and the canons of Wells have a right of way to carry wheat and hay through the land of her men of Burnham, Somerset, and common of pasture with them for 5d. yearly rent at Michaelmas. Sibyl died shortly before 1 July 1236.

ROGER DE CLIFFORD, Knt., of Tenbury and Severn Stoke, Worcestershire, Bridge Sollers and Eardisley, Herefordshire, etc., Constable of Hereford Castle, 1263, Sheriff of Gloucestershire, 1263, Sheriff of Worcestershire and Herefordshire, Justiciar of Wales, Justice of the Forest south of Trent, 1265-70, son and heir, born about 1221 (of full age on 1 April 1242). He was made a ward of his uncle, Walter de Clifford, in 1231. He married (1st) before 1242 MAUD ___, widow of Hugh de Goumay. They had one son, Roger. In 1245 he was ordered to remain with John le Strange in the Matches at Montgomery for its defence. In 1246 he was granted £30 per annum for his services. He accompanied Richard de Clare, Earl of Gloucester on a pilgrimage in 1248. In 1249 he was granted a weekly market and yearly fair at Tenbury, Worcestershire and free-warren in Severn Stoke, Worcestershire. He accompanied Queen Eleanor to Gascony in 1254. In 1256 he had license to hunt the hare, fox, and cat, with his own dogs, in the forests of Gloucester, Worcestershire, and Shropshire. He fought in Wales in 1258. He was beyond seas with Prince Edward in 1260. In 1261 he and others were involved in a cause with the executors of William de Tregoz and Alan de Ardene. He joined the Barons under de Montfort in 1263. In 1263 Roger de Clifford, John Giffard of Brimpsfield, and other local dissidents successfully laid siege to Gloucester Castle in an attempt to remove the French knight Mari de Bezille from his office as county sheriff. The castle was later garrisoned for the Crown by Roger de Clifford who, having returned to his allegiance, was given custody of it at the end of 1263. In Feb. 1264 he was ordered to fortify and hold the bridge at Gloucester, while all other bridges on the Severn were to be destroyed. In 1264 he played a prominent part in the Siege of Nottingham, where he took Simon de Montfort the younger as prisoner. He was taken prisoner at the Battle of Lewes 14 May 1264; he was among those who were released on condition of appearing in parliament when summoned. He fought for the king at the Battle of Evesham 4 August 1265. In recognition of his services, the king released him from a debt of £399 17s. and granted him lands in Warwickshire and Leicestershire. In 1270 he accompanied Prince Edward on Crusade to the Holy Land. He married (2nd) at St.-Georges d'Espéranche, France (a Savoy fief) in June 1273 COUNTESS (or COMTESSE) ___, Countess of Loreto, possibly the widow of Conrad of Antioch, Count of Loreto (living 1268). By an uncertain wife, he had one daughter, Alice. In 1273 he wrote to Walter de Merton, Chancellor, regarding his suit concerning Glasbury, Radnorshire. In the period, 1274-76, he was granted license by the king to alienate land at Tenbury, Worcestershire to a house of Fontevrault. In 1276-7 William de Berkeroles and Joan his wife arraigned an assize of novel disseisin against him and others touching a tenement in Severn Stoke, Worcestershire. He was ordered by Pope Gregory X to pay 300 marks to the Dean and Canons of Hereford for his "confessions;" in 1277 he granted the canons his manors of Bridge Sollers, Herefordshire and Tenbury, Worcestershire as security for payment. In 1277-8 Nicholas de Sifrewast arraigned an assize of novel disseisin against him and others touching a tenement in Bridge, Herefordshire. In 1278 the king ordered that "Contissa, countess of Lorett[o]," wife of Roger de Clifford, have ten oaks for timber. In 1279 the king ordered that "Contesse Loretti," wife of Roger de Clifford, have ten oak-trunks for fuel from the forest of Kynefar. In 1280-81 Richard de Kynardesleye arraigned an assize of mort d'ancestor against him touching a mill in Bridge Sollers, Herefordshire. In 1282 he was granted custody of the lands and tenements of Mold, Cheshire and Hawarden, Flintshire, late of Robert de Mohaut, deceased, during the minority of the heirs of the said Robert. In 1282 David ap Gruffudd suddenly surprised Hawarden Castle, Flintshire, killed many of the knights and squires who formed the garrison, and carried off Roger as a prisoner into the hills. In 1284 Roger settled the manor of Severn Stoke, Worcestershire on himself and his wife, with remainder to his grandson, Roger de Clifford, a younger son of Roger Clifford, junior. SIR ROGER DE CLIFFORD died shortly before 3 April 1286. He left a will dated 26 October 1284, proved in 1286, requesting burial in the church of Dore. He mentioned his wife (not named) and his daughter, Alice. In 1282 the king ordered that the escheator on this side Trent not meddle with the robes, jewels, beds or other thing which pertain to the "countess of Lerett," late the wife of Roger de Clifford. In 1286 Roger, Vicar of Tenbury, was sued in the Exchequer by William Barrett, Chamberlain of London, and another for 12 marks which Sir Roger de Clifford, being deceased, owed the plaintiffs. In 1290 Cuntassa, late the wife of Roger of Clifford, requested the king's grace, stating that she has been grievously distrained by the sheriffs for various debts of her husband, but that she is not his heir, and only holds what the king has granted to her for life, and is unable to render the debts. In 1292 his widow was summoned by writ of Quo Warranto to satisfy the king whether she claimed to have free warren and hold pleas of the Crown in her manor of Bridge Sollers, Herefordshire. In 1293 Countess, late the wife of Roger de Clifford the elder, was granted protection for two years, she then going beyond seas. In 1295 she was granted protection for an additional year, she staying beyond seas. In April 1298 the king again granted the "countess of Loreto" letters ofprotection, she then staying beyond seas.

“ROGER DE MOWBRAY, Knt., of Thirsk, Yorkshire, younger son, born about 1220 (came of age in 1241). He was heir in 1230 to his older brother, Nele (or Nigel) de Mowbray. He married (1st) after 13 April 1238 (date of grant of marriage) DE FURNIVAL, daughter of Thomas de Furnival, of Worksop, Nottinghamshire, and Sheffield, Yorkshire, by Bertha,* daughter of William de Ferrers, Earl of Chester [see FURNIVAL 8 for her ancestry]. They had two daughters, Joan and Elizabeth (or Isabel). He had the grant of a market and fair at Hovingham, Yorkshire in 1252. He married (2nd) before 1257 MAUD DE BEAUCHAMP, daughter of William de Beauchamp, Knt., of Bedford, Bedfordshire, by Ida, daughter of William Longespée, Knt., Earl of Salisbury (illegitimate son of King Henry II of England) [see BOTETOURT 6 for her ancestry]. They had six sons, Roger, Knt. [1st Lord Mowbray], John, Edmund, William, Andrew, and Robert. He was summoned for service in Scotland in 1258, and for service against the Welsh in 1260. He appears to have sided with King Henry III in the earlier days of the opposition of the Barons. SIR ROGER DE MOWBRAY died shortly before 18 October 1263, and was buried in the church of the Friars Preachers, Pontefract, Yorkshire. His widow, Maud, was co-heiress c.1266-7 to her niece, Joan, daughter of Simon de Beauchamp, Knt., by which she inherited a one-third share of the barony of Bedford, Bedfordshire. She had restitution of Bedford Castle in 1267.

They had issue. His wife, Maud, died shortly before 4 April 1273, and was buried with her 1st husband. In 1274-5 Gocelin de Bratheweyt arraigned an assize of novel disseisin against Roger le Strange and Roger de Mowbray touching a tenement in Kirkby-Malzeard, Yorkshire. He married (2nd) before 18 June 1307 MAUD ___. In 1288 he was commander of an expedition against Rhys ap Maredudd. He was King's messenger at the Court of Rome in 1291-2. He was summoned to Parliament from 24 June 1295 to 26 August 1296, by writs directed Rogero Extraneo, whereby he is held to have become Lord Strange. He signed the Barons' letter to Pope Boniface VIII in 1301 as "Dominus de Ellesmere." Roger le Strange, Lord Strange, died 31 July 1311. His widow, Maud, was living 9 Feb. 1337.

In 1245 he was ordered to remain with John le Strange in the Matches at Montgomery for its defence. In 1246 he was granted £30 per annum for his services. He accompanied Richard de Clare, Earl of Gloucester on a pilgrimage in 1248. In 1249 he was granted a weekly market and yearly fair at Tenbury, Worcestershire and free-warren in Severn Stoke, Worcestershire. He accompanied Queen Eleanor to Gascony in 1254. In 1256 he had license to hunt the hare, fox, and cat, with his own dogs, in the forests of Gloucester, Worcestershire, and Shropshire. He fought in Wales in 1258. He was beyond seas with Prince Edward in 1260. In 1261 he and others were involved in a cause with the executors of William de Tregoz and Alan de Ardene. He joined the Barons under de Montfort in 1263. In 1263 Roger de Clifford, John Giffard of Brimpsfield, and other local dissidents successfully laid siege to Gloucester Castle in an attempt to remove the French knight Mari de Bezille from his office as county sheriff. The castle was later garrisoned for the Crown by Roger de Clifford who, having returned to his allegiance, was given custody of it at the end of 1263. In Feb. 1264 he was ordered to fortify and hold the bridge at Gloucester, while all other bridges on the Severn were to be destroyed. In 1264 he played a prominent part in the Siege of Nottingham, where he took Simon de Montfort the younger as prisoner. He was taken prisoner at the Battle of Lewes 14 May 1264; he was among those who were released on condition of appearing in parliament when summoned. He fought for the king at the Battle of Evesham 4 August 1265. In recognition of his services, the king released him from a debt of £399 17s. and granted him lands in Warwickshire and Leicestershire. In 1270 he accompanied Prince Edward on Crusade to the Holy Land. He married (2nd) at St.-Georges d'Espéranche, France (a Savoy fief) in June 1273 COUNTESS (or COMTESSE) ___, Countess of Loreto, possibly the widow of Conrad of Antioch, Count of Loreto (living 1268). By an uncertain wife, he had one daughter, Alice. In 1273 he wrote to Walter de Merton, Chancellor, regarding his suit concerning Glasbury, Radnorshire. In the period, 1274-76, he was granted license by the king to alienate land at Tenbury, Worcestershire to a house of Fontevrault. In 1276-7 William de Berkeroles and Joan his wife arraigned an assize of novel disseisin against him and others touching a tenement in Severn Stoke, Worcestershire. He was ordered by Pope Gregory X to pay 300 marks to the Dean and Canons of Hereford for his "confessions;" in 1277 he granted the canons his manors of Bridge Sollers, Herefordshire and Tenbury, Worcestershire as security for payment. In 1277-8 Nicholas de Sifrewast arraigned an assize of novel disseisin against him and others touching a tenement in Bridge, Herefordshire. In 1278 the king ordered that "Contissa, countess of Lorett[o]," wife of Roger de Clifford, have ten oaks for timber.

In 1280-81 Richard de Kynardesleye arraigned an assize of mort d'ancestor against him touching a mill in Bridge Sollers, Herefordshire. In 1282 he was granted custody of the lands and tenements of Mold, Cheshire and Hawarden, Flintshire, late of Robert de Mohaut, deceased, during the minority of the heirs of the said Robert. In 1282 David ap Gruffudd suddenly surprised Hawarden Castle, Flintshire, killed many of the knights and squires who formed the garrison, and carried off Roger as a prisoner into the hills. In 1284 Roger settled the manor of Severn Stoke, Worcestershire on himself and his wife, with remainder to his grandson, Roger de Clifford, a younger son of Roger Clifford, junior. SIR ROGER DE CLIFFORD died shortly before 3 April 1286. He left a will dated 26 October 1284, proved in 1286, requesting burial in the church of Dore. He mentioned his wife (not named) and his daughter, Alice. In 1282 the king ordered that the escheator on this side Trent not meddle with the robes, jewels, beds or other thing which pertain to the "countess of Lerett," late the wife of Roger de Clifford. In 1286 Roger, Vicar of Tenbury, was sued in the Exchequer by William Barrett, Chamberlain of London, and another for 12 marks which Sir Roger de Clifford, being deceased, owed the plaintiffs. In 1290 Cuntassa, late the wife of Roger of Clifford, requested the king's grace, stating that she has been grievously distrained by the sheriffs for various debts of her husband, but that she is not his heir, and only holds what the king has granted to her for life, and is unable to render the debts. In 1292 his widow was summoned by writ of Quo Warranto to satisfy the king whether she claimed to have free warren and hold pleas of the Crown in her manor of Bridge Sollers, Herefordshire. In 1293 Countess, late the wife of Roger de Clifford the elder, was granted protection for two years, she then going beyond seas. In 1295 she was granted protection for an additional year, she staying beyond seas. In April 1298 the king again granted the "countess of Loreto" letters ofprotection, she then staying beyond seas.

In 1290 Cuntassa, late the wife of Roger of Clifford, requested the king's grace, stating that she has been grievously distrained by the sheriffs for various debts of her husband, but that she is not his heir, and only holds what the king has granted to her for life, and is unable to render the debts. In 1292 his widow was summoned by writ of Quo Warranto to satisfy the king whether she claimed to have free warren and hold pleas of the Crown in her manor of Bridge Sollers, Herefordshire.
