“REYNOLD GREY, Knt., 3rd Lord Grey of Ruthin, of Ruthin, Denbighshire, Wales, Wrest (in Silsoe), Bedfordshire, Over Bletchley, Buckinghamshire, Water Eaton and Hemingford Grey, Huntingdonshire, and, in right of his 2nd wife, of Astky, Bedworth, and Bentley, Warwickshire, Broughton, Leicestershire, etc., Governor in Ireland, Privy Councillor to King Henry IV, son and heir, born about 1362 (aged 26 in 1388; 28 in 1390; 30 and more in 1396). He married (1st) shortly after 25 Nov. 1378 MARGARET ROOS (or ROS), daughter of Thomas de Roos, Knt., 4th Lord Roos of Helmsley, by Beatrice, daughter of Ralph de Stafford, K.G., 1st Earl of Stafford [see ROOS 10 for her ancestry]. They had two sons, Thomas (living 1387) and John, KG., and several daughters, including Eleanor and Margaret. He presented to the church of Swepstone, Leicestershire in 1383. He was heir general in 1389 to his cousin, John de Hastings, Earl of Pembroke, by which he inherited numerous estates, including the manors of Benham Valence, Berkshire, Valence (in Great Shelford), Cambridgeshire, Brampton, Huntingdonshire, East Sutton, Hartley, Luddesdon, and Sutton Valence, Kent, Hastings (in Tottenham), Middlesex, Wootton and Yardley Hastings, Northamptonshire, Aston (in Munslow), Shropshire, Little Marston (in West Camel), Somerset, Chelmscote (in Brailes), Fillongley, Fulbrook, and Pillerton (in Pillerton Priors), Warwickshire, Littleton Pannell (in West or Bishop's Lavington), Wiltshire, etc. He subsequently assumed the style "Lord of Hastings, Wexford and Ruthin." He was summoned to Parliament from 6 Dec. 1389 to 26 Sept. 1439, by writs directed Reginaldo de Grey de Ruthyn chivaler. He attended the king in Ireland in 1394 and 1399. He gave his assent in Parliament 23 October 1399 to the secret imprisonment of King Richard II. He carried the Great Spurs and the Second Sword and performed the office of Napperer at the Coronation of King Henry IV in 1399. He presented to the churches of Great Brickhill, Buckinghamshire, 1399, and Wootton, Northamptonshire, 1405, 1410, 1431. In 1401 he had a suit in the Court of Chivalry with his cousin, Edward Hastings, Knt., for the undifferenced arms of Hastings; the case was decided in his favor 20 years later. He was appointed one of the king's lieutenants in North Wales 15 Jan. 1401/2. Early in 1402, he was taken prisoner by Owain Glyn Dwr, remaining a captive throughout the whole year. He had to pay a ransom of 10,000 marks, and give his eldest son and others as hostages. According to Welsh writers, he was forced to marry Joan, daughter of Owain Glyn Dwr. At the coronation of King Henry V in 1413, Reynold claimed to carry the Great Gilt Spurs and the Second Sword before the king. He married (2nd) before 7 Feb. 1414/5 JOAN ASTLEY (or ASTELEY), widow of Thomas Raleigh, of Farnborough, Warwickshire (died 30 Sept. 1404), and daughter and heiress of William Astley, Knt., 4th Lord Astley, of Astley, Bedworth, Bentley, and Weddington, Warwickshire, by his wife, Joan (or Katherine), daughter of John Willoughby, 3rd Lord Willoughby of Eresby [see ASTLEY 11.1 for her ancestry]. They had three sons, Edward, Knt. [Lord Ferrers of Groby], Robert, Esq., and John, Esq., and three daughters, Constance (wife of John Cressy, Knt.), Elizabeth, and Eleanor. He was a member of the Trinity Guild of Coventry, Warwickshire. He was about to go abroad in 1417. He went to France with the king in 1425. In 1427 William Ferrers, Lord Ferrers of Groby, owed him a debt of 1,000.

“ROBERT I the Magnificent, Count of Hiémois, 1026, Duke of Normandy, 1027-1035, 2nd son. He was heir in 1027 to his older brother, Richard (III), Duke of Normandy. By his mistress, ARLETTE (or HERLEVE), daughter of Fulbert of Falaise, he had one illegitimate son, William the Conqueror [King of England, Duke of Normandy], and also by Arlette or an unknown mistress, one illegitimate daughter, Alice [Countess of Aumale]. ROBERT I, Duke of Normandy; set off on a pilgrimage to Jerusalem early in 1035, and subsequently died at Nicaea 1-3 July 1035. Herleve married c.1030 HERLUIN DE CONTEVILLE, Vicomte, seigneur of Conteville. They had two sons, Eudes [Bishop of Bayeux, Earl of Kent] and Robert [Count of Mortain], and one daughter, Muriel. He founded Grestain Abbey in Normandy about 1050. He and his wife renounced their claim to the tithe of Toutainville and to the vill called Mesnil-Dastin to Preaux Abbey. His wife, Herleve, is thought to have been living in 1050-51, but died soon afterwards. He married (2nd) FREDESENDE ___. They had two sons, Jean (who appears to have died young) and Raoul Fitz Herluin (or de Conteville) [seigneur of Corneville-sur-Risle and Martainville-en-Lieuvin, presumably Domesday tenant of Chapel Allerton, Huish (in Burnham), Adber (in Trent), and Brent, Somerset]. HERLUIN DE CONTEVILLE died about 1066. He and his first wife, Arlette, were buried in Grestain Abbey. His widow, Fredesende, granted part of dower lands at Le Neubourg, Cantelou, and Honnaville (dep. Calvados) to Grestain Abbey.

Child of Robert of Normandy, by Herleve of Falaise:
i. WILLIAM, Duke of Normandy, King of England [see next].
Child of Robert of Normandy, by a mistress, possibly Herleve of Falaise:
i. ALICE (AELIDIS, ADELIZA, ADELISA, ADELIDIS) OF NORMANDY, born before 1035. She married (1st) ENGUERRAND II, Count of Ponthieu, son and heir of Hugues II, Count of Ponthieu and Montreuil, seigneur of Abbeville, by Berthe, daughter of Guérinfrid, seigneur of Aumale. They had one daughter, Alice. He was slain before the Château d'Arques 25 October 1053. His widow, Alice, married (2nd) 1053/4 LAMBERT OF BOULOGNE, Count of Lens, Governor of Lille Castle, younger son of Eustache I, Count of Boulogne, by Mathilde (or Mahaut), daughter of Lambert I, Count of Louvain [see BOULOGNE 1 for his ancestry]. They had one daughter, Judith. In 1047 he and his brother, Count Eustache, and Count Baldwin V of Flanders were in attendance at the court of King Henry III of Germany, where they witnessed Henry's confirmation of a gift to St. Medard. LAMBERT OF BOULOGNE, Count of Lens, was slain in battle at Phalempin in 1054. His widow, Alice, married (3rd) in 1060 EUDES III, Count of Champagne, Banner-bearer to the Archbishops of Rouen, son and heir of Étienne, Count of Troyes and Meaux, by his wife, Adelaide. They had one son, Stephen (or Étienne) [Count of Aumale]. In the period, 1047-55, he witnessed an agreement between Rahier, husband of Arembourg, and the canons of Saint-Maurice of Angers, by which the canons temporarily relinquished certain rights in the church of Joué. At the death of his father about 1047 or 1048, he was deprived of the county of Champagne by his uncle, Thibaut III, and took refuge with William, Duke of Normandy [afterwards William the Conqueror, King of England]. William gave him his sister, Alice, in marriage. After the conquest of England in 1066, in which Eudes rendered good service, King William granted him the lordship of Holderness in England. William also erected the terrritory of Aumale into a county, which lands had been given to Eudes by Jean de Bayeux, Archbishop of Rouen. In 1082 William I, King of England, gave the Abbey of Holy Trinity at Caen the bourg of Le Homme with its revenues, with a reservation in favor of his sister, Alice, Countess of Aumale, of the tenancy during her life. Alice, Countess of Aumale, was living in 1086, and died before 1096 (date of charter). Sometime in the period, 1087-1095, Eudes witnessed a charter of King William Rufus, confirming to the Abbey of Saint Pierre au Mont Blandin in Gand certain possessions in his kingdom. Following the death of King William the Conqueror in 1087, he supported William Rufus as king in opposition to Robert, Duke of Normandy. In 1095 he joined the rebellion of Robert de Mowbray against King William Rufus, for which he was imprisoned by William and continued in confinement the remainder of his life. Eudes, Count of Champagne, died in prison sometime between Jan. 1096 and 2 August 1107. Du Plessis Histoire de l'Église de Meaux 2 (1731): 8.

i. EUDES, Bishop of Bayeux, Earl of Kent. He was an uterine half-brother of King William the Conqueror. In 1049, while still a youth, he was granted the see of Bayeux. His active career was that of a warrior and statesman. He found ships for the invasion of England and fought in person at Senlac. He became Earl of Kent in 1066-67, and for some years he was a trusted royal minister. He acquired lands in more than twenty English counties. He worked energetically to build up the resources, both material and spiritual, of his see. At times he acted as viceroy in King William's absence and led royal forces to chastise rebellions. He took part in the northern campaign with his nephew, Robert Curthose, in 1080. In 1083 he was suddenly disgraced and imprisoned on the king's orders. In 1087 King William, when on his death-bed, reluctantly permitted his release. In 1088 he supported the rebellion of Robert Curthose against King William Rufus. In 1096 he went on the 1st Crusade. EUDES, Bishop of Bayeux, died in Jan. 1097 while visiting Sicily, and was buried in Palermo Cathedral. By an unknown mistress, he had one illegitimate son, John.

“ROBERT I the Magnificent, Count of Hiémois, 1026, Duke of Normandy, 1027-1035, 2nd son. He was heir in 1027 to his older brother, Richard (III), Duke of Normandy. By his mistress, ARLETTE (or HERLEVE), daughter of Fulbert of Falaise, he had one illegitimate son, William the Conqueror [King of England, Duke of Normandy], and also by Arlette or an unknown mistress, one illegitimate daughter, Alice [Countess of Aumale]. ROBERT I, Duke of Normandy; set off on a pilgrimage to Jerusalem early in 1035, and subsequently died at Nicaea 1-3 July 1035. Herleve married c.1030 HERLUIN DE CONTEVILLE, Vicomte, seigneur of Conteville. They had two sons, Eudes [Bishop of Bayeux, Earl of Kent] and Robert [Count of Mortain], and one daughter, Muriel. He founded Grestain Abbey in Normandy about 1050. He and his wife renounced their claim to the tithe of Toutainville and to the vill called Mesnil-Dastin to Preaux Abbey. His wife, Herleve, is thought to have been living in 1050-51, but died soon afterwards. He married (2nd) FREDESENDE ___. They had two sons, Jean (who appears to have died young) and Raoul Fitz Herluin (or de Conteville) [seigneur of Corneville-sur-Risle and Martainville-en-Lieuvin, presumably Domesday tenant of Chapel Allerton, Huish (in Burnham), Adber (in Trent), and Brent, Somerset]. HERLUIN DE CONTEVILLE died about 1066. He and his first wife, Arlette, were buried in Grestain Abbey. His widow, Fredesende, granted part of dower lands at Le Neubourg, Cantelou, and Honnaville (dep.

Child of Robert of Normandy, by Herleve of Falaise:
i. WILLIAM, Duke of Normandy, King of England [see next].
Child of Robert of Normandy, by a mistress, possibly Herleve of Falaise:
i. ALICE (AELIDIS, ADELIZA, ADELISA, ADELIDIS) OF NORMANDY, born before 1035. She married (1st) ENGUERRAND II, Count of Ponthieu, son and heir of Hugues II, Count of Ponthieu and Montreuil, seigneur of Abbeville, by Berthe, daughter of Guérinfrid, seigneur of Aumale. They had one daughter, Alice. He was slain before the Château d'Arques 25 October 1053. His widow, Alice, married (2nd) 1053/4 LAMBERT OF BOULOGNE, Count of Lens, Governor of Lille Castle, younger son of Eustache I, Count of Boulogne, by Mathilde (or Mahaut), daughter of Lambert I, Count of Louvain [see BOULOGNE 1 for his ancestry]. They had one daughter, Judith. In 1047 he and his brother, Count Eustache, and Count Baldwin V of Flanders were in attendance at the court of King Henry III of Germany, where they witnessed Henry's confirmation of a gift to St. Medard. LAMBERT OF BOULOGNE, Count of Lens, was slain in battle at Phalempin in 1054. His widow, Alice, married (3rd) in 1060 EUDES III, Count of Champagne, Banner-bearer to the Archbishops of Rouen, son and heir of Étienne, Count of Troyes and Meaux, by his wife, Adelaide. They had one son, Stephen (or Étienne) [Count of Aumale]. In the period, 1047-55, he witnessed an agreement between Rahier, husband of Arembourg, and the canons of Saint-Maurice of Angers, by which the canons temporarily relinquished certain rights in the church of Joué. At the death of his father about 1047 or 1048, he was deprived of the county of Champagne by his uncle, Thibaut III, and took refuge with William, Duke of Normandy [afterwards William the Conqueror, King of England]. William gave him his sister, Alice, in marriage. After the conquest of England in 1066, in which Eudes rendered good service, King William granted him the lordship of Holderness in England. William also erected the terrritory of Aumale into a county, which lands had been given to Eudes by Jean de Bayeux, Archbishop of Rouen. In 1082 William I, King of England, gave the Abbey of Holy Trinity at Caen the bourg of Le Homme with its revenues, with a reservation in favor of his sister, Alice, Countess of Aumale, of the tenancy during her life. Alice, Countess of Aumale, was living in 1086, and died before 1096 (date of charter). Sometime in the period, 1087-1095, Eudes witnessed a charter of King William Rufus, confirming to the Abbey of Saint Pierre au Mont Blandin in Gand certain possessions in his kingdom. Following the death of King William the Conqueror in 1087, he supported William Rufus as king in opposition to Robert, Duke of Normandy. In 1095 he joined the rebellion of Robert de Mowbray against King William Rufus, for which he was imprisoned by William and continued in confinement the remainder of his life. Eudes, Count of Champagne, died in prison sometime between Jan. 1096 and 2 August 1107. Du Plessis Histoire de l'Église de Meaux 2 (1731): 8.

Children of Herleve of Falaise, by Herluin de Conteville:
i. EUDES, Bishop of Bayeux, Earl of Kent. He was an uterine half-brother of King William the Conqueror. In 1049, while still a youth, he was granted the see of Bayeux. His active career was that of a warrior and statesman. He found ships for the invasion of England and fought in person at Senlac. He became Earl of Kent in 1066-67, and for some years he was a trusted royal minister. He acquired lands in more than twenty English counties. He worked energetically to build up the resources, both material and spiritual, of his see. At times he acted as viceroy in King William's absence and led royal forces to chastise rebellions. He took part in the northern campaign with his nephew, Robert Curthose, in 1080. In 1083 he was suddenly disgraced and imprisoned on the king's orders. In 1087 King William, when on his death-bed, reluctantly permitted his release. In 1088 he supported the rebellion of Robert Curthose against King William Rufus. In 1096 he went on the 1st Crusade. EUDES, Bishop of Bayeux, died in Jan. 1097 while visiting Sicily, and was buried in Palermo Cathedral. By an unknown mistress, he had one illegitimate son, John.

He was head of the house of Haie-du-Puits in the Cotentin, and undoubtedly married a Muriel, as appears by the charters of Lessay, whether she were a daughter of Herluin or not.

2. “Royal Ancestry: A Study in Colonial & Medieval Families,” Douglas Richardson (2013):
“WILLIAM the Conqueror, Duke (or Count) of Normandy, 1035-87, King of England, 1066-87, illegitimate son of Robert, Duke of Normandy, by his mistress, Axlette (or Herleve) [see Appendix, Line A for his ancestry]. He was probably born at Falaise 1027-28. In 1046-7 William's right to be duke was attacked by his cousin, Guy, count of Brionne. Guy and his associates were defeated by an army led by William and the French king Henri I to the south-west of Caen at Val-es-Dunes. In 1049 William joined the French king's campaign against Geoffrey Martel, Count of Anjou, taking part in the successful siege of the castle of Mouliheme near Angers. He married about 1050 (marriage prohibited 1049, dispensation dated 1059, they being related by near kinship within the 7th degree) MAUD OF FLANDERS, daughter of Baudouin V, Count-Marquis of Flanders, by Adele, daughter of Robert II, King of France [see Appendix, Line B for her ancestry]. They had four sons, Robert Curthose puke of Normandy], Richard, William II Rufus [King of England], and Henry [I] [King of England, Duke of Normandy, Count of Cotentin], and five daughters, Alice (or Adelise) (nun at St Leger in Preaux), Maud, Constance, Cecily [Abbess of Holy Trinity, Caen], and Adele (wife of Etienne Henri, Count of Blois). In 1051 William visited England and probably received a promise of the English succession from his childless cousin, King Edward the Confessor. According to Norman writers, King Edward's brother-in-law, Harold Godwinesson (later King Harold), who visited the Norman court in 1064 or 1065, swore an oath to support William's claim to the throne of England. However, when King Edward died (5 Jan 1066), Harold was hastily anointed king (6 Jan 1066) and was accepted by the English nobility. On 28 September 1066 William landed at Pevensey with his army and defeated Harold's forces in the Battle of Hastings 14 October 1066. William was crowned King of England in Westminster Abbey 25 December 1066 by Aldred, Archbishop of York. He invaded Scotland in 1072 and Wales in 1081. He spent most of his time in Normandy, but returned to England each time when it was absolutely necessary. In 1082 William imprisoned his half-brother, Eudes, Bishop of Bayeux and Earl of Kent, on a charge of disloyalty. He was a major patron of monasteries, founding two great abbeys at St Etienne of Caen and Battle, and making donations to a host of other churches. His wife, Maud, died 2 November 1083, and was buried at Sainte-Trinite in Caen. Her tombstone with inscription carved round the edge has survived. In 1085 William brought a large army to meet the threat of an invasion by Canute IV of Denmark, but it never occurred. One of the most important deeds of William in his last years was ordering of economic and tenurial survey of England, the results of which were summarized in the Domesday Book. In the summer of 1086 the Conqueror departed for the continent, where he went on a military expedition to retaliate against an invading French garrison at the border town of Mantes. He was injured while riding a horse and the ailing king was carried back to Rouen and then moved for peace and quiet to the priory of Saint Gervais outside the city. Surrounded by clergy and magnates, he apparently remained lucid until the end, which came on 9 September 1087. His corpse was transported by river and sea to Caen, where he was buried in the Abbey church of Saint-Etienne.

“ROGER DE CLARE (otherwise ROGER FITZ RICHARD), 2nd Earl of Hertford (also styled Earl of Clare), younger son. He married MAUD DE SAINT HILARY, daughter and heiress of James de Saint Hilary, of Field Dalling, Norfolk, by his wife, Aveline. They had four sons, Richard [3rd Earl of Hertford (or Clare)], John, Richard [2nd of name], and James, and one daughter, Aveline. He was heir in 1153 to his older brother, Gilbert de Clare, 1st Earl of Hertford. In the period, 1153-73, he confirmed the grant which Walter Fountains and subsequently Tebaud Sorrel made of four acres in Norton in Finchingfield, Essex to the Hospitailers. He accompanied King Henry II to France on at least two occasions, once probably in 1156, when he is found at the Siege of Chinon, and once in the winter of 1160-61. In 1157, and in the following years, he was engaged against Rhys ap Gryffydd in Wales. In 1163 he disputed with Thomas Becket, Archbishop of Canterbury regarding the latter's claim for fealty in respect of Tonbridge Castle. In 1164 he took part in the Constitutions of Clarendon. Sometime before 1164 he and his brother, Richard, witnessed a charter of Walter Giffard, Earl of Buckingham, to Newington Longueville Priory. In 1166 he certified his barony as consisting of 149 knights fees. In 1170 he was a commissioner to enquire into the proceedings of the sheriffs in Kent, Surrey, Middlesex, Berkshire, Oxfordshire, and Bedfordshire. Sometime before his death, he gave the church of Barton Bendish, Norfolk to the monks of Bec dwelling at St. Neot's. His wife, Maud, gave a mark of silver to the nuns of Godstow for the health of the soul of the Earl her husband. ROGER DE CLARE, 2nd Earl of Hertford (or Clare), died in 1173, and was buried at Stoke by Clare Priory, Suffolk. In the period, 1173-76, his widow, Maud, granted the monks of St. Andrew, Northampton her mill of Shipton under Wychwood, Oxfordshire. She married (2nd) before Michaelmas 1176 WILLIAM D'AUBENEY, 2nd Earl of Arundel (or Sussex) [see CLIFTON 4], Chief Butler of England, Privy Councillor, Constable of Windsor Castle, 1191-3, son and heir of William d'Aubeney, 1st Earl of Arundel (or Sussex), Chief Butler of England, by Alice, Queen Dowager of England, daughter of Gottfried (or Godefroy) I, Duke of Lower Lorraine, Count of Louvain [see CLIFTON 3 for his ancestry]. They had three sons, William [3rd Earl of Arundel], Alan, and Godfrey (or Geoffrey). In 1176/7 he was confirmed as Earl of Sussex, but the Castle and Honour of Arundel were, in accordance with the policy of King Henry II, retained by the Crown. He served as assessor in the royal court in 1177 to arbitrate between the Kings of Castile and Navarre. He was granted restoration of the Castle and Honour of Arundel by King Richard I 27 June 1190, when he became Earl of Arundel. In 1194 he was one of the Receivers of the money raised for the king's ransom. At an unknown date, he granted various lands in Quiddenham, Norfolk to Reading Abbey, Berkshire. WILLIAM D'AUBENEY, Earl of Arundel, died 24 Dec. 1196, and was buried at Wymondham Priory, Norfolk.

“ROGER DE CLARE (otherwise ROGER FITZ RICHARD), 2nd Earl of Hertford (also styled Earl of Clare), younger son. He married MAUD DE SAINT HILARY, daughter and heiress of James de Saint Hilary, of Field Dalling, Norfolk, by his wife, Aveline. They had four sons, Richard [3rd Earl of Hertford (or Clare)], John, Richard [2nd of name], and James, and one daughter, Aveline. He was heir in 1153 to his older brother, Gilbert de Clare, 1st Earl of Hertford. In the period, 1153-73, he confirmed the grant which Walter Fountains and subsequently Tebaud Sorrel made of four acres in Norton in Finchingfield, Essex to the Hospitailers. He accompanied King Henry II to France on at least two occasions, once probably in 1156, when he is found at the Siege of Chinon, and once in the winter of 1160-61. In 1157, and in the following years, he was engaged against Rhys ap Gryffydd in Wales. In 1163 he disputed with Thomas Becket, Archbishop of Canterbury regarding the latter's claim for fealty in respect of Tonbridge Castle. In 1164 he took part in the Constitutions of Clarendon. Sometime before 1164 he and his brother, Richard, witnessed a charter of Walter Giffard, Earl of Buckingham, to Newington Longueville Priory. In 1166 he certified his barony as consisting of 149 knights fees. In 1170 he was a commissioner to enquire into the proceedings of the sheriffs in Kent, Surrey, Middlesex, Berkshire, Oxfordshire, and Bedfordshire. Sometime before his death, he gave the church of Barton Bendish, Norfolk to the monks of Bec dwelling at St. Neot's. His wife, Maud, gave a mark of silver to the nuns of Godstow for the health of the soul of the Earl her husband. ROGER DE CLARE, 2nd Earl of Hertford (or Clare), died in 1173, and was buried at Stoke by Clare Priory, Suffolk. In the period, 1173-76, his widow, Maud, granted the monks of St. Andrew, Northampton her mill of Shipton under Wychwood, Oxfordshire. She married (2nd) before Michaelmas 1176 WILLIAM D'AUBENEY, 2nd Earl of Arundel (or Sussex) [see CLIFTON 4], Chief Butler of England, Privy Councillor, Constable of Windsor Castle, 1191-3, son and heir of William d'Aubeney, 1st Earl of Arundel (or Sussex), Chief Butler of England, by Alice, Queen Dowager of England, daughter of Gottfried (or Godefroy) I, Duke of Lower Lorraine, Count of Louvain [see CLIFTON 3 for his ancestry]. They had three sons, William [3rd Earl of Arundel], Alan, and Godfrey (or Geoffrey). In 1176/7 he was confirmed as Earl of Sussex, but the Castle and Honour of Arundel were, in accordance with the policy of King Henry II, retained by the Crown. He served as assessor in the royal court in 1177 to arbitrate between the Kings of Castile and Navarre. He was granted restoration of the Castle and Honour of Arundel by King Richard I 27 June 1190, when he became Earl of Arundel. In 1194 he was one of the Receivers of the money raised for the king's ransom. At an unknown date, he granted various lands in Quiddenham, Norfolk to Reading Abbey, Berkshire. WILLIAM D'AUBENEY, Earl of Arundel, died 24 Dec. 1196, and was buried at Wymondham Priory, Norfolk.

“ROGER DE CLARE (otherwise ROGER FITZ RICHARD), 2nd Earl of Hertford (also styled Earl of Clare), younger son. He married MAUD DE SAINT HILARY, daughter and heiress of James de Saint Hilary, of Field Dalling, Norfolk, by his wife, Aveline. They had four sons, Richard [3rd Earl of Hertford (or Clare)], John, Richard [2nd of name], and James, and one daughter, Aveline. He was heir in 1153 to his older brother, Gilbert de Clare, 1st Earl of Hertford. In the period, 1153-73, he confirmed the grant which Walter Fountains and subsequently Tebaud Sorrel made of four acres in Norton in Finchingfield, Essex to the Hospitailers. He accompanied King Henry II to France on at least two occasions, once probably in 1156, when he is found at the Siege of Chinon, and once in the winter of 1160-61. In 1157, and in the following years, he was engaged against Rhys ap Gryffydd in Wales. In 1163 he disputed with Thomas Becket, Archbishop of Canterbury regarding the latter's claim for fealty in respect of Tonbridge Castle. In 1164 he took part in the Constitutions of Clarendon. Sometime before 1164 he and his brother, Richard, witnessed a charter of Walter Giffard, Earl of Buckingham, to Newington Longueville Priory. In 1166 he certified his barony as consisting of 149 knights fees. In 1170 he was a commissioner to enquire into the proceedings of the sheriffs in Kent, Surrey, Middlesex, Berkshire, Oxfordshire, and Bedfordshire. Sometime before his death, he gave the church of Barton Bendish, Norfolk to the monks of Bec dwelling at St. Neot's. His wife, Maud, gave a mark of silver to the nuns of Godstow for the health of the soul of the Earl her husband. ROGER DE CLARE, 2nd Earl of Hertford (or Clare), died in 1173, and was buried at Stoke by Clare Priory, Suffolk. In the period, 1173-76, his widow, Maud, granted the monks of St. Andrew, Northampton her mill of Shipton under Wychwood, Oxfordshire. She married (2nd) before Michaelmas 1176 WILLIAM D'AUBENEY, 2nd Earl of Arundel (or Sussex) [see CLIFTON 4], Chief Butler of England, Privy Councillor, Constable of Windsor Castle, 1191-3, son and heir of William d'Aubeney, 1st Earl of Arundel (or Sussex), Chief Butler of England, by Alice, Queen Dowager of England, daughter of Gottfried (or Godefroy) I, Duke of Lower Lorraine, Count of Louvain [see CLIFTON 3 for his ancestry]. They had three sons, William [3rd Earl of Arundel], Alan, and Godfrey (or Geoffrey). In 1176/7 he was confirmed as Earl of Sussex, but the Castle and Honour of Arundel were, in accordance with the policy of King Henry II, retained by the Crown. He served as assessor in the royal court in 1177 to arbitrate between the Kings of Castile and Navarre. He was granted restoration of the Castle and Honour of Arundel by King Richard I 27 June 1190, when he became Earl of Arundel. In 1194 he was one of the Receivers of the money raised for the king's ransom. At an unknown date, he granted various lands in Quiddenham, Norfolk to Reading Abbey, Berkshire. WILLIAM D'AUBENEY, Earl of Arundel, died 24 Dec. 1196, and was buried at Wymondham Priory, Norfolk.

“ROGER DE CLARE (otherwise ROGER FITZ RICHARD), 2nd Earl of Hertford (also styled Earl of Clare), younger son. He married MAUD DE SAINT HILARY, daughter and heiress of James de Saint Hilary, of Field Dalling, Norfolk, by his wife, Aveline. They had four sons, Richard [3rd Earl of Hertford (or Clare)], John, Richard [2nd of name], and James, and one daughter, Aveline. He was heir in 1153 to his older brother, Gilbert de Clare, 1st Earl of Hertford. In the period, 1153-73, he confirmed the grant which Walter Fountains and subsequently Tebaud Sorrel made of four acres in Norton in Finchingfield, Essex to the Hospitailers. He accompanied King Henry II to France on at least two occasions, once probably in 1156, when he is found at the Siege of Chinon, and once in the winter of 1160-61. In 1157, and in the following years, he was engaged against Rhys ap Gryffydd in Wales. In 1163 he disputed with Thomas Becket, Archbishop of Canterbury regarding the latter's claim for fealty in respect of Tonbridge Castle. In 1164 he took part in the Constitutions of Clarendon. Sometime before 1164 he and his brother, Richard, witnessed a charter of Walter Giffard, Earl of Buckingham, to Newington Longueville Priory. In 1166 he certified his barony as consisting of 149 knights fees. In 1170 he was a commissioner to enquire into the proceedings of the sheriffs in Kent, Surrey, Middlesex, Berkshire, Oxfordshire, and Bedfordshire. Sometime before his death, he gave the church of Barton Bendish, Norfolk to the monks of Bec dwelling at St. Neot's. His wife, Maud, gave a mark of silver to the nuns of Godstow for the health of the soul of the Earl her husband. ROGER DE CLARE, 2nd Earl of Hertford (or Clare), died in 1173, and was buried at Stoke by Clare Priory, Suffolk. In the period, 1173-76, his widow, Maud, granted the monks of St. Andrew, Northampton her mill of Shipton under Wychwood, Oxfordshire.

They had three sons, William [3rd Earl of Arundel], Alan, and Godfrey (or Geoffrey). In 1176/7 he was confirmed as Earl of Sussex, but the Castle and Honour of Arundel were, in accordance with the policy of King Henry II, retained by the Crown. He served as assessor in the royal court in 1177 to arbitrate between the Kings of Castile and Navarre. He was granted restoration of the Castle and Honour of Arundel by King Richard I 27 June 1190, when he became Earl of Arundel. In 1194 he was one of the Receivers of the money raised for the king's ransom. At an unknown date, he granted various lands in Quiddenham, Norfolk to Reading Abbey, Berkshire.

3. “Royal Ancestry: A Study in Colonial & Medieval Families,” Douglas Richardson (2013):
“ISABEL LE BIGOD, married (1st) GILBERT DE LACY (or LASCY), of Ewyas Lacy, Herefordshire, son and heir apparent of Walter de Lacy, Knt., of Weobley, Holme Lacy, Mansell Gamage, and Yarkhill, Herefordshire, Ludlow, Rock [Farm] (in Ludlow), and Stanton Lacy, Shropshire, lord of Meath, Ireland, by Margaret (or Margery), daughter of William de Brewes. Isabel's maritagium included lands in Great Connell, co. Kildare, Ireland. They had one son, Walter, and two daughters, Margery and Maud. Gilbert was hostage for his father in August 1215. GILBERT DE LACY died shortly before 25 Dec. 1230, and was buried in Llanthony Priory, Wales. His widow, Isabel, married (2nd) before 12 April 1234 JOHN FITZ GEOFFREY, Knt., of Shere, Surrey, Fambridge, Essex, Whaddon, Steeple Claydon, Quarrendon, and Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire, Redmarley Adam (in Great Witley), Worcestershire, etc., Sheriff of Yorkshire, 1234-6, Justiciar of Ireland, Justice of the Forest south of Trent, younger son of Geoffrey Fitz Peter, Knt., Earl of Essex, Justiciar of England, by his 2nd wife, Aveline, daughter of Roger de Clare, Earl of Clare [see ESSEX 2 for his ancestry]. He was born about 1205. They had two sons, John, Knt. [Lord Fitz John] and Richard, Knt. [Lord Fitz John], and four daughters, Maud, Isabel, Aveline, and Joan. In 1227 he sued the Abbot of Missenden for 22 acres of meadow in Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire in which the abbot had ingress only through Ralph de Chenduit to whom William [de Mandeville], Earl of Essex (brother of the said John), demised the meadow for a term. He was granted the manor of Steeple Claydon, Buckinghamshire about 1230 by Henry d'Oilly' his possession of the manor was confirmed by the king in 1232 following the death of Henry d'Oilly. In 1233 he was summoned to respond to Henry de Kemeseck regarding the right of presentation to the church of East Tilbury, Essex. John replied that that the church belonged to the hospital which his father, Geoffrey Fitz Peter, had built upon land purchased from Clement de Monasterio, who held it of the church. Clement was present and said that Geoffrey had taken the land from him by force. It was admitted that the land on which the hospital was built pertained to the church, which in its turn pertained to the ancestral fief of the earls at Pleshey. Consequently John lost his case. Sometime in the period, 1233-6, his half-sister, Maud de Mandeville, Countess of Essex and Hereford, quitclaimed to him 100s. which he owed her annually for Cherhill, Wiltshire. In 1234 she granted him the manor of Quarrendon, Buckinghamshire, he rendering to her the service due to the chief lord of the fee, as well as the service of a twentieth of a knight. In 1237 he was sent to the Council of Lyons to protest against the papal tribute. In 1240 the king granted him the manor of Ringwood, Hampshire, it being described as "of the lands of the Bretons." The king granted him the manor of Whaddon, Buckinghamshire in 1242, which Hugh d'Aubeney, Earl of Arundel, had surrendered to the king of the lands of the Normans. The same year the marriage of the sons and heirs of John de Vipont was granted to him for a fine of 200 marks. In 1243 Roger de Clere conveyed the manor of Twineham Benfield (in Twineham), Sussex to him. In 1253 the king granted him the cantred of the Isles of Thomon in Ireland. In 1254, at his instance, the king gave a charter to his nephew, Richard de la Rokele, for free warren in Richard's demesne lands in the counties of Kent, Wiltshire, and Essex, together with weekly markets and annual fairs at his manors of Wokenden, Essex and Marke Lavington, Wiltshire. SIR JOHN FITZ GEOFFREY died 23 Nov. 1258.

He arrived in England soon after 9 March 1250/1. In 1252 he and his wife, Maud, had livery of all the liberties and customs of Meath, which her grandfather, Walter de Lacy, had held. In 1254 they had livery of the Castle of Trim in Ireland, and a moiety of 40 marcates of land. The same year he was granted 50 livres toumois by the king to sustain him in the king's service. He was in Gascony with Edward the king's son in August 1255. In 1259 he and his wife, Maud, gave 40s. of annual rent from lands by Kenlis to Beaubec Abbey. In 1260 he partitioned the barony of Weobley, Herefordshire with his wife's brother-in-law, John de Verdun. He was summoned by the king to serve against the Welsh in 1260, 1276, and 1282. Following the capture of the Irish justidar in Dec. 1264, Geoffrey, who was already a member of the council in Ireland, assumed control of the government and secured reconciliation between the warring parties. In 1266 he and his wife, Maud, obtained permission from Gilles, Bishop of Toul, to found the collegiale of Vaucouleurs.

In 1272 he was summoned by the king of France against Roger-Bernard III, Count of Foix. He accompanied Prince Edward to the Holy Land but returned before him. He was made Justiciar of Ireland in October 1273, which office he held until 17 June 1276.

In 1295 the liberty of Trim was again restored to him, in consideration of his services in Welsh wars. In 1297 he was a commissioner on the king's part to settle the difficulties between the Constable and Marshal, which resulted in the king appointing him marshal and Thomas de Berkeley constable.

He married MAUD DE SAINT HILARY, daughter and heiress of James de Saint Hilary, of Field Dalling, Norfolk, by his wife, Aveline. They had four sons, Richard [3rd Earl of Hertford (or Clare)], John, Richard [2nd of name], and James, and one daughter, Aveline. He was heir in 1153 to his older brother, Gilbert de Clare, 1st Earl of Hertford. In the period, 1153-73, he confirmed the grant which Walter Fountains and subsequently Tebaud Sorrel made of four acres in Norton in Finchingfield, Essex to the Hospitailers. He accompanied King Henry II to France on at least two occasions, once probably in 1156, when he is found at the Siege of Chinon, and once in the winter of 1160-61. In 1157, and in the following years, he was engaged against Rhys ap Gryffydd in Wales. In 1163 he disputed with Thomas Becket, Archbishop of Canterbury regarding the latter's claim for fealty in respect of Tonbridge Castle. In 1164 he took part in the Constitutions of Clarendon. Sometime before 1164 he and his brother, Richard, witnessed a charter of Walter Giffard, Earl of Buckingham, to Newington Longueville Priory. In 1166 he certified his barony as consisting of 149 knights fees. In 1170 he was a commissioner to enquire into the proceedings of the sheriffs in Kent, Surrey, Middlesex, Berkshire, Oxfordshire, and Bedfordshire. Sometime before his death, he gave the church of Barton Bendish, Norfolk to the monks of Bec dwelling at St. Neot's.

Sometime in or before 1199, he made a grant to William de Wrotham, Archdeacon of Taunton, of all his land of Sutton at Hone, Kent to make a hospital for the maintenance of thirteen poor men and three chaplains in honour of the Holy Trinity, St. Mary, and All Saints. In the period, 1200-13, he made notification that Abbot Ralph and the convent of Westminster had at his petition confirmed to the nuns of Shouldham all tithes pertaining to them in Clakelose Hundred, Norfolk, in return for £1 10s. due annually to the almoner of Westminster. In the same period, Abbot Ralph and the convent of Westminster granted him the vill of Claygate, Surrey to hold of them for his lifetime. In 1204 King John granted him the manor of Winterslow, Wiltshire, and, in 1205, the honour of Berkhampstead, Hertfordshire with the castle at a fee farm of £100 per annum. He campaigned against the Welsh in 1206 and 1210. He was granted a significant part of the lands forfeited by Normans, including the manors of Depden and Hatfield Peverel, Essex, and other lands in Norfolk and Suffolk, all worth over £100 per annum. In 1207 the king confirmed his possession of the manor of Notgrove, Gloucestershire, which Geoffrey had by the gift of John Eskelling. Sometime before 1212, he was granted the manor of Gussage Dynaunt (or Gussage St. Michael), Dorset, which manor was forfeited by Roland de Dinan. At some unspecified date, when already earl, he granted all his right in St. Peter's chapel in Drayton to the canons of St. Peter's Cathedral, York. He was the founder of the first church of Wintney Priory, Hampshire. SIR GEOFFREY FITZ PETER, Earl of Essex, died 14 October 1213, and was buried in Shouldham Priory, Norfolk. In 1213-4 the king commanded Geoffrey de Buckland to let the king have, at the price any others would give for them, the corn, pigs, and other chattels at Berkhampstead, Hertfordshire which belonged his brother, Geoffrey Fitz Peter, lately deceased. About 1214 his widow, Aveline, granted the canons of Holy Trinity, London, in frank almoin, a half mark quit rent out of her Manor of Towcester, Northamptonshire, part of whose body is buried there. In 1221 the Prior of the Hospital of Jerusalem in England sued her regarding two virgates and five acres of land in Towcester, Northamptonshire. Aveline, Countess of Essex, died before 4 June 1225.

He was born before 1145. They had one son, John, Knt., and four daughters, Hawise, Cecily, ___, and Maud. Sometime in the period, 1157-66, he witnessed an exchange of land between Roger de Tichborne and the Bishop of Winchester. He held a fee in Cherhill, Wiltshire of new enfeoffment in 1166. Sometime in the period, c.1166-90, Elias de Studley conveyed to him his land held of the fee of William Malbanc in Heytesbury and Cherhill, Wiltshire at an annual rent of 20s.

They had no issue. She married (2nd) about Jan. 1220 (date of fine) (as his 2nd wife) WILLIAM DE BEAUCHAMP, Knt., of Bedford, Bedfordshire, Shelsley Beauchamp, Worcestershire, etc., Baron of the Exchequer, Sheriff of Bedfordshire and Buckinghamshire, 1235-7, hereditary Grand Almoner at Coronation of King Henry III, son and heir of Simon de Beauchamp, of Bedford, Bedfordshire, by his wife, Isabel. He was born about 1186 (of age in 1206-7). Her maritagium included the manor of Belchamp, Essex. They had three sons, Simon, Knt., William, Knt., and John, and four daughters, Joan (nun at Chicksands), Maud, Beatrice, and Ela. He married (1st) before 1207 GUNNOR DE LANVALLAY, daughter of William de Lanvallay, by Hawise, daughter of Hugh de Buckland. William and Gunnor had one son, John (dead before 1232). He took part in King John's expedition to Poitou in 1214. He joined the baronial host at Stamford in 1215, and entertained them at Bedford as they marched on London. He was among the baronial leaders excommunicated by name in Dec. 1215. He forfeited Bedford Castle, together with the manor of Shelsley Beauchamp, Worcestershire, which lands was granted in 1216 to Falkes de Breaute. He was taken prisoner at Lincoln by the royal forces in May 1217, but made his peace before the end of the year. The honour of Bedford was restored to him in 1224. In 1244-5 he was with the army in Wales. SIR WILLIAM DE BEAUCHAMP died shortly after 28 Dec. 1260. Claiming to take her dower at her choice, his widow, Ida, raided the manor of Little Crawley, Buckinghamshire, "pulled down houses, cut down trees, and did other enormous damage," for which actions she was subsequently fined. She was living in 1266-7, but died testate before 1269-70.

“ROGER DE QUINCY, Knt., 2nd Earl of Winchester, of Ware, Hertfordshire, Eynesbury, Keyston and Southoe, Huntingdonshire, Belgrave, Burton Overy, Braunstone, Galby, King's Norton, and Laughton, Leicestershire, Shipton (in Shipton-on-Cherwell), Oxfordshire, Seckington, Warwickshire, etc., and Leuchars, Fife, Scotland, and, in right of his 1st wife, hereditary Constable of Scotland, 2nd but eldest surviving son. He married (1st) ELLEN OF GALLOWAY, 2nd but let surviving daughter and co-heiress of Alan Fitz Roland, Lord of Galloway, hereditary Constable of Scotland, by his 1st wife, ___, daughter of Roger de Lacy, Knt., of Pontefract, Yorkshire, hereditary Constable of Chester [see LACY 2.iii for her ancestry]. Her maritagium included the manor of Kippax, Yorkshire. They had three daughters, Margaret (or Margery), Elizabeth (or Isabel), and Ellen. He was excommunicated with his father by Pope Innocent III 16 Dec. 1215. He was presumably on Crusade at Damietta at the time of his father's death in 1219. His eldest brother, Robert, then being dead, Roger did homage and received livery of his father's lands 16 Feb. 1221. In 1222 he served as a captain in the king's army in Poitou. In 1230 his niece, Margaret de Quincy, wife of John de Lacy, released her claim to the main Quincy inheritance to him; in return he granted to John and Margaret and their issue her mother, Hawise's dower, including the manor of Grantchester, Cambridgeshire, to hold of him and his heirs. In 1233 a notification of Walter, Archbishop of York, stated that the priory of St. John of Pontefract had recovered the advowson of Kippax, Yorkshire against Roger de Quincy in an assize of darrein presentment. He succeeded to the earldom of Winchester in 1235 on his mother's death. In 1235 the Gallwegians, being opposed to the partition of Alan of Galloway's dominions among his three daughters (including Roger's wife, Ellen), petitioned King Alexander II to make Alan's illegitimate son, Thomas, their overlord. The king rejected the petition, and an insurrection took place, but was soon suppressed. He presented to a mediety of the church of Croxton, Leicestershire, 1235, and to the churches of Markfield, Leicestershire, 1254, 1257; Laughton, Leicestershire, 1248, 1254, 1258, 1269; and Wadenhoe, Northamptonshire, 1261. In 1237 he had license to import corn and victuals from Ireland through a merchant named Erskin of Kirkcudbright in Scotland. In 1239 he joined other nobles in writing a letter of remonstrance to Pope Gregory IX, complaining of the Pope's infringement of the rights of English patrons. Roger served with the king in Guienne in 1242. His wife, Ellen, was living 21 Nov. 1245. She was buried at BracIdey, Northamptonshire. In 1246 he again joined in a letter sent to the pope with reference to the grievances of England against the Roman see. On the death of his wife's sister, Christian, Countess of Aumale, in 1246, he obtained a further portion of Galloway in right of his wife. He ruled the chiefs there with great severity; they rose against him in 1247, and besieged him in one of his castles. Preferring a quick death by the sword to a lingering one of starvation, he suddenly caused the gates to be thrown open, and almost unattended, cut his way through the besiegers, and rode until he reached the court of the King of the Scots. King Alexander punished the rebels and re-established Roger in his possessions. About 1250 Roger quitclaimed to the church of St. Mary and St. Nicholas, Littlemore, Oxfordshire the suit of his court at Chinnor, Oxfordshire, required for the 18 acres in the fields of Svdenham, Oxfordshire, which the said nuns of Littlemore had of the gift of Saher de Quincy his father. He married (2nd) before 12 June 1250 MAUD DE BOHUN, widow of Anselm Marshal, 9th Earl of Pembroke, hereditary Master Marshal, hereditary Steward of Leinster (died at Chepstow 22, 23, or 24 Dec. 1245) [see MARSHAL 3.v], and daughter of Humphrey de Bohun, Knt., Earl of Hereford and Essex, hereditary Constable of England, by Maud, daughter of Raoul (or Ralph) d'Exoudun, 7th Count of Eu. They had no issue. About 1250 he witnessed a charter of Richard de Harcourt, Knt., of Stanton Harcourt, Oxfordshire in favor of his son, William de Harcourt [see BOHUN 6 for her ancestry]. His wife, Maud, died at Groby (in Ratby), Leicestershire 20 October 1252, and was buried at Brackley, Northamptonshire. In the period, 1252-7, he exchanged the manors of Kippax and Scholes and the advowson of the church of Kippax, Yorkshire with his great nephew, Edmund de Lacy, for the manor of Elmsall (in South Kirkby), Yorkshire. He married (3rd) shortly before 17 Jan. 1252/3 ELEANOR DE FERRERS, widow of William de Vaux, of Tharston and Houghton, Norfolk (died testate shortly before 5 Dec. 1252), and daughter of William de Ferrers, Knt., 5th Earl of Derby, by his lst wife, Sibyl, 3rd daughter of William Marshal, Knt., 4th Earl of Pembroke (or Striguil), hereditary Master Marshal [see FERRERS 7 for her ancestry]. They had no issue. Eleanor was co-heiress in 1245 to her uncle, Anselm Marshal, 9th Earl of Pembroke. In 1253 he granted the manor of Ware, Hertfordshire to his younger brother, Robert de Quincy, to hold of him and his heirs at the yearly rent of half a mark and by service of a knight's fee. In 1257 the king appointed him a joint commissioner for composing the disputes between King Alexander III of Scotland and certain of Alexander's nobles. He fought in Wales 1258, and the same year, was one of the twenty-four elected by the Barons for the observance of the Provisions of Oxford. About 1260 he granted a charter to the burgesses of Brackley, Northamptonshire, and made many gifts to the Hospital there, including that of a sarcophagus, 1240, to lie on the right side of the heart of his mother, Margaret de Quincy, and to be filled three times a year with winnowed corn for the use of the Hospital. About 1264 he granted Nicholas de Clacmanan, the king's brewer, the whole land of the constabulary of Clacmannan. At an unknown date, he granted to the monks of Lindores Abbey that they and their men should have a free road through the middle of his wood at Kinloch near Collessie and through the whole of his land as far as to the moor of Eden for heather and through the middle of the moor for peats. At an unknown date, he likewise confirmed the grant of his father to St. Andrews Priory of three silver marks annually from the mill of Leuchars, Fife. SIR ROGER DE QUINCY, 2nd Earl of Winchester, Constable of Scotland, died 25 April 1264, and was probably buried at Brackley, Northamptonshire. His widow, Eleanor, married (3rd) before 8 Sept. 1267 (as his 2nd wife) ROGER DE LEYBOURNE, Knt., of Elham, Kent, Steward of the King's Household, Warden of the Cinque Ports, Sheriff of Kent, Warden of the Forests beyond Trent, son of Roger de Leybourne, of Leybourne, Kent, by Eleanor, daughter and co-heiress of Stephen de Turnham. SIR ROGER DE LEYBOURNE died 5 Nov. 1271. Eleanor, Countess of Winchester, died 16 October 1274.

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. 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.

1. “Royal Ancestry: A Study in Colonial & Medieval Families,” Douglas Richardson (2013):
“ROGER DE QUINCY, Knt., 2nd Earl of Winchester, of Ware, Hertfordshire, Eynesbury, Keyston and Southoe, Huntingdonshire, Belgrave, Burton Overy, Braunstone, Galby, King's Norton, and Laughton, Leicestershire, Shipton (in Shipton-on-Cherwell), Oxfordshire, Seckington, Warwickshire, etc., and Leuchars, Fife, Scotland, and, in right of his 1st wife, hereditary Constable of Scotland, 2nd but eldest surviving son. He married (1st) ELLEN OF GALLOWAY, 2nd but let surviving daughter and co-heiress of Alan Fitz Roland, Lord of Galloway, hereditary Constable of Scotland, by his 1st wife, ___, daughter of Roger de Lacy, Knt., of Pontefract, Yorkshire, hereditary Constable of Chester [see LACY 2.iii for her ancestry]. Her maritagium included the manor of Kippax, Yorkshire. They had three daughters, Margaret (or Margery), Elizabeth (or Isabel), and Ellen. He was excommunicated with his father by Pope Innocent III 16 Dec. 1215. He was presumably on Crusade at Damietta at the time of his father's death in 1219. His eldest brother, Robert, then being dead, Roger did homage and received livery of his father's lands 16 Feb. 1221. In 1222 he served as a captain in the king's army in Poitou. In 1230 his niece, Margaret de Quincy, wife of John de Lacy, released her claim to the main Quincy inheritance to him; in return he granted to John and Margaret and their issue her mother, Hawise's dower, including the manor of Grantchester, Cambridgeshire, to hold of him and his heirs. In 1233 a notification of Walter, Archbishop of York, stated that the priory of St. John of Pontefract had recovered the advowson of Kippax, Yorkshire against Roger de Quincy in an assize of darrein presentment. He succeeded to the earldom of Winchester in 1235 on his mother's death. In 1235 the Gallwegians, being opposed to the partition of Alan of Galloway's dominions among his three daughters (including Roger's wife, Ellen), petitioned King Alexander II to make Alan's illegitimate son, Thomas, their overlord. The king rejected the petition, and an insurrection took place, but was soon suppressed. He presented to a mediety of the church of Croxton, Leicestershire, 1235, and to the churches of Markfield, Leicestershire, 1254, 1257; Laughton, Leicestershire, 1248, 1254, 1258, 1269; and Wadenhoe, Northamptonshire, 1261. In 1237 he had license to import corn and victuals from Ireland through a merchant named Erskin of Kirkcudbright in Scotland. In 1239 he joined other nobles in writing a letter of remonstrance to Pope Gregory IX, complaining of the Pope's infringement of the rights of English patrons. Roger served with the king in Guienne in 1242. His wife, Ellen, was living 21 Nov. 1245. She was buried at BracIdey, Northamptonshire. In 1246 he again joined in a letter sent to the pope with reference to the grievances of England against the Roman see. On the death of his wife's sister, Christian, Countess of Aumale, in 1246, he obtained a further portion of Galloway in right of his wife. He ruled the chiefs there with great severity; they rose against him in 1247, and besieged him in one of his castles. Preferring a quick death by the sword to a lingering one of starvation, he suddenly caused the gates to be thrown open, and almost unattended, cut his way through the besiegers, and rode until he reached the court of the King of the Scots. King Alexander punished the rebels and re-established Roger in his possessions. About 1250 Roger quitclaimed to the church of St. Mary and St. Nicholas, Littlemore, Oxfordshire the suit of his court at Chinnor, Oxfordshire, required for the 18 acres in the fields of Svdenham, Oxfordshire, which the said nuns of Littlemore had of the gift of Saher de Quincy his father. He married (2nd) before 12 June 1250 MAUD DE BOHUN, widow of Anselm Marshal, 9th Earl of Pembroke, hereditary Master Marshal, hereditary Steward of Leinster (died at Chepstow 22, 23, or 24 Dec. 1245) [see MARSHAL 3.v], and daughter of Humphrey de Bohun, Knt., Earl of Hereford and Essex, hereditary Constable of England, by Maud, daughter of Raoul (or Ralph) d'Exoudun, 7th Count of Eu. They had no issue. About 1250 he witnessed a charter of Richard de Harcourt, Knt., of Stanton Harcourt, Oxfordshire in favor of his son, William de Harcourt [see BOHUN 6 for her ancestry]. His wife, Maud, died at Groby (in Ratby), Leicestershire 20 October 1252, and was buried at Brackley, Northamptonshire. In the period, 1252-7, he exchanged the manors of Kippax and Scholes and the advowson of the church of Kippax, Yorkshire with his great nephew, Edmund de Lacy, for the manor of Elmsall (in South Kirkby), Yorkshire. He married (3rd) shortly before 17 Jan. 1252/3 ELEANOR DE FERRERS, widow of William de Vaux, of Tharston and Houghton, Norfolk (died testate shortly before 5 Dec. 1252), and daughter of William de Ferrers, Knt., 5th Earl of Derby, by his lst wife, Sibyl, 3rd daughter of William Marshal, Knt., 4th Earl of Pembroke (or Striguil), hereditary Master Marshal [see FERRERS 7 for her ancestry]. They had no issue. Eleanor was co-heiress in 1245 to her uncle, Anselm Marshal, 9th Earl of Pembroke. In 1253 he granted the manor of Ware, Hertfordshire to his younger brother, Robert de Quincy, to hold of him and his heirs at the yearly rent of half a mark and by service of a knight's fee. In 1257 the king appointed him a joint commissioner for composing the disputes between King Alexander III of Scotland and certain of Alexander's nobles. He fought in Wales 1258, and the same year, was one of the twenty-four elected by the Barons for the observance of the Provisions of Oxford. About 1260 he granted a charter to the burgesses of Brackley, Northamptonshire, and made many gifts to the Hospital there, including that of a sarcophagus, 1240, to lie on the right side of the heart of his mother, Margaret de Quincy, and to be filled three times a year with winnowed corn for the use of the Hospital. About 1264 he granted Nicholas de Clacmanan, the king's brewer, the whole land of the constabulary of Clacmannan. At an unknown date, he granted to the monks of Lindores Abbey that they and their men should have a free road through the middle of his wood at Kinloch near Collessie and through the whole of his land as far as to the moor of Eden for heather and through the middle of the moor for peats. At an unknown date, he likewise confirmed the grant of his father to St. Andrews Priory of three silver marks annually from the mill of Leuchars, Fife. SIR ROGER DE QUINCY, 2nd Earl of Winchester, Constable of Scotland, died 25 April 1264, and was probably buried at Brackley, Northamptonshire. His widow, Eleanor, married (3rd) before 8 Sept. 1267 (as his 2nd wife) ROGER DE LEYBOURNE, Knt., of Elham, Kent, Steward of the King's Household, Warden of the Cinque Ports, Sheriff of Kent, Warden of the Forests beyond Trent, son of Roger de Leybourne, of Leybourne, Kent, by Eleanor, daughter and co-heiress of Stephen de Turnham. SIR ROGER DE LEYBOURNE died 5 Nov. 1271. Eleanor, Countess of Winchester, died 16 October 1274.

“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.

6740 RESEARCH_NOTES:
1. “Royal Ancestry: A Study in Colonial & Medieval Families,” Douglas Richardson (2013):
“ROGER DE QUINCY, Knt., 2nd Earl of Winchester, of Ware, Hertfordshire, Eynesbury, Keyston and Southoe, Huntingdonshire, Belgrave, Burton Overy, Braunstone, Galby, King's Norton, and Laughton, Leicestershire, Shipton (in Shipton-on-Cherwell), Oxfordshire, Seckington, Warwickshire, etc., and Leuchars, Fife, Scotland, and, in right of his 1st wife, hereditary Constable of Scotland, 2nd but eldest surviving son. He married (1st) ELLEN OF GALLOWAY, 2nd but let surviving daughter and co-heiress of Alan Fitz Roland, Lord of Galloway, hereditary Constable of Scotland, by his 1st wife, ___, daughter of Roger de Lacy, Knt., of Pontefract, Yorkshire, hereditary Constable of Chester [see LACY 2.iii for her ancestry]. Her maritagium included the manor of Kippax, Yorkshire. They had three daughters, Margaret (or Margery), Elizabeth (or Isabel), and Ellen. He was excommunicated with his father by Pope Innocent III 16 Dec. 1215. He was presumably on Crusade at Damietta at the time of his father's death in 1219. His eldest brother, Robert, then being dead, Roger did homage and received livery of his father's lands 16 Feb. 1221. In 1222 he served as a captain in the king's army in Poitou. In 1230 his niece, Margaret de Quincy, wife of John de Lacy, released her claim to the main Quincy inheritance to him; in return he granted to John and Margaret and their issue her mother, Hawise's dower, including the manor of Grantchester, Cambridgeshire, to hold of him and his heirs. In 1233 a notification of Walter, Archbishop of York, stated that the priory of St. John of Pontefract had recovered the advowson of Kippax, Yorkshire against Roger de Quincy in an assize of darrein presentment. He succeeded to the earldom of Winchester in 1235 on his mother's death. In 1235 the Gallwegians, being opposed to the partition of Alan of Galloway's dominions among his three daughters (including Roger's wife, Ellen), petitioned King Alexander II to make Alan's illegitimate son, Thomas, their overlord. The king rejected the petition, and an insurrection took place, but was soon suppressed. He presented to a mediety of the church of Croxton, Leicestershire, 1235, and to the churches of Markfield, Leicestershire, 1254, 1257; Laughton, Leicestershire, 1248, 1254, 1258, 1269; and Wadenhoe, Northamptonshire, 1261. In 1237 he had license to import corn and victuals from Ireland through a merchant named Erskin of Kirkcudbright in Scotland. In 1239 he joined other nobles in writing a letter of remonstrance to Pope Gregory IX, complaining of the Pope's infringement of the rights of English patrons. Roger served with the king in Guienne in 1242. His wife, Ellen, was living 21 Nov. 1245. She was buried at BracIdey, Northamptonshire. In 1246 he again joined in a letter sent to the pope with reference to the grievances of England against the Roman see. On the death of his wife's sister, Christian, Countess of Aumale, in 1246, he obtained a further portion of Galloway in right of his wife. He ruled the chiefs there with great severity; they rose against him in 1247, and besieged him in one of his castles. Preferring a quick death by the sword to a lingering one of starvation, he suddenly caused the gates to be thrown open, and almost unattended, cut his way through the besiegers, and rode until he reached the court of the King of the Scots. King Alexander punished the rebels and re-established Roger in his possessions. About 1250 Roger quitclaimed to the church of St. Mary and St. Nicholas, Littlemore, Oxfordshire the suit of his court at Chinnor, Oxfordshire, required for the 18 acres in the fields of Svdenham, Oxfordshire, which the said nuns of Littlemore had of the gift of Saher de Quincy his father. He married (2nd) before 12 June 1250 MAUD DE BOHUN, widow of Anselm Marshal, 9th Earl of Pembroke, hereditary Master Marshal, hereditary Steward of Leinster (died at Chepstow 22, 23, or 24 Dec. 1245) [see MARSHAL 3.v], and daughter of Humphrey de Bohun, Knt., Earl of Hereford and Essex, hereditary Constable of England, by Maud, daughter of Raoul (or Ralph) d'Exoudun, 7th Count of Eu. They had no issue. About 1250 he witnessed a charter of Richard de Harcourt, Knt., of Stanton Harcourt, Oxfordshire in favor of his son, William de Harcourt [see BOHUN 6 for her ancestry]. His wife, Maud, died at Groby (in Ratby), Leicestershire 20 October 1252, and was buried at Brackley, Northamptonshire. In the period, 1252-7, he exchanged the manors of Kippax and Scholes and the advowson of the church of Kippax, Yorkshire with his great nephew, Edmund de Lacy, for the manor of Elmsall (in South Kirkby), Yorkshire. He married (3rd) shortly before 17 Jan. 1252/3 ELEANOR DE FERRERS, widow of William de Vaux, of Tharston and Houghton, Norfolk (died testate shortly before 5 Dec. 1252), and daughter of William de Ferrers, Knt., 5th Earl of Derby, by his lst wife, Sibyl, 3rd daughter of William Marshal, Knt., 4th Earl of Pembroke (or Striguil), hereditary Master Marshal [see FERRERS 7 for her ancestry]. They had no issue. Eleanor was co-heiress in 1245 to her uncle, Anselm Marshal, 9th Earl of Pembroke. In 1253 he granted the manor of Ware, Hertfordshire to his younger brother, Robert de Quincy, to hold of him and his heirs at the yearly rent of half a mark and by service of a knight's fee. In 1257 the king appointed him a joint commissioner for composing the disputes between King Alexander III of Scotland and certain of Alexander's nobles. He fought in Wales 1258, and the same year, was one of the twenty-four elected by the Barons for the observance of the Provisions of Oxford. About 1260 he granted a charter to the burgesses of Brackley, Northamptonshire, and made many gifts to the Hospital there, including that of a sarcophagus, 1240, to lie on the right side of the heart of his mother, Margaret de Quincy, and to be filled three times a year with winnowed corn for the use of the Hospital. About 1264 he granted Nicholas de Clacmanan, the king's brewer, the whole land of the constabulary of Clacmannan. At an unknown date, he granted to the monks of Lindores Abbey that they and their men should have a free road through the middle of his wood at Kinloch near Collessie and through the whole of his land as far as to the moor of Eden for heather and through the middle of the moor for peats. At an unknown date, he likewise confirmed the grant of his father to St. Andrews Priory of three silver marks annually from the mill of Leuchars, Fife. SIR ROGER DE QUINCY, 2nd Earl of Winchester, Constable of Scotland, died 25 April 1264, and was probably buried at Brackley, Northamptonshire. His widow, Eleanor, married (3rd) before 8 Sept. 1267 (as his 2nd wife) ROGER DE LEYBOURNE, Knt., of Elham, Kent, Steward of the King's Household, Warden of the Cinque Ports, Sheriff of Kent, Warden of the Forests beyond Trent, son of Roger de Leybourne, of Leybourne, Kent, by Eleanor, daughter and co-heiress of Stephen de Turnham. SIR ROGER DE LEYBOURNE died 5 Nov. 1271. Eleanor, Countess of Winchester, died 16 October 1274.

The first mentioned countess died on the 20th of Oct., and was buried at Brackley, where the earl's former wife was also buried.

“HUMPHREY DE BOHUN, Knt., 6th Earl of Hereford, 7th Earl of Essex, hereditary Constable of England, Constable of the Exchequer, 1228, Constable of Dover Castle and Warden of Cinque Ports, 1239-41, Sheriff of Kent, 1239-41, Warden of the Marches of Wales, 1245, Privy Councillor, 1258, Justice of Assize at Cardiff, 1261, Chief Captain of the Army in Wales, 1263, Constable of Haye, Huntingdon, and Tregruk Castles, son and heir, born about 1200 (of age in 1221). He married (1st) MAUD OF EU, daughter of Raoul (or Ralph) d'Exoudun (or d'Issoudun), Count of Eu, Baron of Hastings, Sussex, and seigneur of Issoudun, Melte, Chize, and la Mothe-Saint-Heray, in Poitou, by Alice, daughter of Henry, 6th Count of Eu, Baron of Hastings, Sussex [see EU 7 for her ancestry]. They had four sons, Humphrey, Knt., Henry, Knt., Geoffrey, and [Master] Ralph (clerk), and four daughters, Maud, Alice, Eleanor, and Mary. After Humphrey's father's death in 1220, William Briwerre had custody of Caldicot, Monmouthshire and Walton, Surrey. The following year, Humphrey had livery of Caldicot Castle and all lands held in chief, the king having taken his homage. In Easter term 1226 he sued his mother and stepfather, Maud and Roger de Dauntsey, regarding the manor of Heddington, Wiltshire. The same term he also sued Ela, Countess of Salisbury, regarding lands in Bishopstrow, East Coulston, Manningford Bruce (in Wilsford), Newton Tony, Staverton (in Trowbridge), Trowbridge, and Wilsford, Wiltshire. He joined Richard, Earl of Cornwall, in his quarrel with the king in 1227. In 1228/9 he had aquittance for 15-1/5 fees of the moiety of the fees of Trowbridge, Wiltshire. He fought in France in 1230, in Gascony in 1242 and 1253, and in Wales in 1257. In 1234 the king thanked him and Richard de Argentein for the diligence which they applied in seizing into the king's hands the castle of Pevensey, Sussex. At the Coronation of Queen Eleanor in 1236, he was Marshal of the Household. He succeeded his mother as 7th Earl of Essex in 1236. In 1237 he went on a pilgrimage to Santiago in Spain. He presented to the churches of Thoreby, Lincolnshire, 1237, and Kimbolton, Huntingdonshire, 1242, and to the chapel of Kirnbolton, Huntingdonshire, 1239. He stood sponsor at the baptism of Edward I in 1239. His wife, Maud, died 14 August 1241, and was buried at Llanthony Abbey near Gloucester. He married (2nd) MAUD DE AVENBURY, presumably sister of Walter, Osbert, and [Master] Giles de Avenbury. They had two sons, John, Knt., and Miles, Knt. In 1242 he was in the expedition to France, but returned because of the king's foreign favorites. In 1242 Ralph de Mortimer and his wife, Gwladus, sued him in a plea of land and dower. He granted the tithes of Wilsford, Wiltshire to Farleigh Priory about 1243. In 1244 the cause of the Welsh rebellion is assigned to his having kept in his hand the inheritance of the wife of David ap Llywelyn, Prince of North Wales. In 1246 he joined in the letter of remonstrance from the English peers to Pope Innocent IV. He was present at the Great Council of 1248.
