He held two knights' fees of William de Roumare in 1166. He also held lands of William de Roumare in Normandy. He married AMICE ___. They had three sons, William, Knt., Robert Barat (or Cantelowe), and Roger Orget, and three daughters, Nichole, Sibyl, and probably Isabel. His name occurs on a role of the Norman Exchequer dated 1184. He was a member of the entourage of John, Count of Mortain [afterwards King John]. In 1195 William de Saint Mary accounted £4 for the farm at Barwick, Somerset of Walter de Cantelowe for half a year. In 1201 he sued Robert de Cantelowe for the vill of Chilton Cantelo, Somerset as being his right and inheritance, whereof his father, William de Cantelowe, was seised during the reign of King Henry II [1154-89]. In 1201-2 he conveyed all his right in the vill of Chilton Cantelo, Somerset to Robert de Cantelowe; for this concession Robert gave Walter 28 marks of money, and thereupon Walter did homage to Robert in the Court. In 1204-5 the king issued a writ to the Sheriff of Norfolk to deliver to Walter certain lands in that county which the king had previously committed to the custody of William his son. At an unknown date, he granted in pure and perpetual alms for the salvation of his soul and those of his wife, Amice, his son and heir, William de Cantelowe, his other children, and his ancestors to Christchurch Priory 1/2 mark a year from his rent at Leigh, Dorset, viz. 20d. to be paid each quarter by Sampson de Leigh and his heirs.

He held two knights' fees of William de Roumare in 1166. He also held lands of William de Roumare in Normandy. He married AMICE ___. They had three sons, William, Knt., Robert Barat (or Cantelowe), and Roger Orget, and three daughters, Nichole, Sibyl, and probably Isabel. His name occurs on a role of the Norman Exchequer dated 1184. He was a member of the entourage of John, Count of Mortain [afterwards King John]. In 1195 William de Saint Mary accounted £4 for the farm at Barwick, Somerset of Walter de Cantelowe for half a year. In 1201 he sued Robert de Cantelowe for the vill of Chilton Cantelo, Somerset as being his right and inheritance, whereof his father, William de Cantelowe, was seised during the reign of King Henry II [1154-89]. In 1201-2 he conveyed all his right in the vill of Chilton Cantelo, Somerset to Robert de Cantelowe; for this concession Robert gave Walter 28 marks of money, and thereupon Walter did homage to Robert in the Court. In 1204-5 the king issued a writ to the Sheriff of Norfolk to deliver to Walter certain lands in that county which the king had previously committed to the custody of William his son. At an unknown date, he granted in pure and perpetual alms for the salvation of his soul and those of his wife, Amice, his son and heir, William de Cantelowe, his other children, and his ancestors to Christchurch Priory 1/2 mark a year from his rent at Leigh, Dorset, viz. 20d. to be paid each quarter by Sampson de Leigh and his heirs.

Child of Gilbert de Gant, by Rohese de Clare: a. ALICE DE GANT, daughter and heiress. She married SIMON DE SENLIS, Earl of Northampton and Huntingdon [see BEAUCHAMP 4.i], son and heir of Simon de Senlis, Earl of Huntingdon, by Isabel (or Elizabeth), daughter of Robert of Meulan, Knt., 1st Earl of Leicester [see BEAUCHAMP 4 for his ancestry]. He was born about 1138. He was a minor at his father's death in 1153, and remained in ward to the king for about five years. They had one son, Simon, who died young. Sometime before 1163 he confirmed his father's grant in Merton, Oxfordshire to the Templars. He and his wife, Alice, issued two confirmation charters to Stixwould Priory c.1155-60. In 1174 he was recognized as Earl of Huntingdon. As Simon, Earl of Huntingdon, he granted to the monks of Wardon, Bedfordshire a certain road as they had it on the day he came to the Siege of Huntingdon.

In 1124 he removed the Priory of Clare, Suffolk from its original site to Stoke by Clare, a few miles away, and rebuilt the church and monastic buildings for the monks. In 1130 he had pardons from exactions in four counties; the king also assisted him in the matter of a large debt to the Jewish moneylenders of London. He rebuilt the clas church of Llanbadarn Fawr, which his father had given to Gloucester Abbey, as a priory of the house. He founded a priory at Tonbridge, Kent. He was also active as a patron of Cardigan Priory. RICHARD FITZ GILBERT, lord of Clare, was surprised and slain by the Welsh, near Abergavenny 15 April 1136, and was buried at the Chapter House at Gloucester. Sometime before 1143 his widow, Alice, was rescued from the Welsh by Miles of Gloucester. About 1148 she gave the mill of Taddewell to the monks of St. Peter, Gloucester for the soul of her late husband, Richard Fitz Gilbert; this gift was confirmed by King Henry II in 1153-4.

ALICE DE CLARE, married before 1151 CADWALADR AP GRUFFUDD AP CYNAN, Prince of North Wales, of Cynfael, Meirion, younger son of Gruffudd ap Cynan, by Angharad, daughter of Owain ab Edwin. They had four sons, Cunedda (or Conan), Randwlff, Gruffudd, and Richard. During his father's lifetime he accompanied his elder brother, Owain, on many predatory excursions against rival princes. In 1121 they ravaged Meirionydd, and apparently conquered it. In 1135 and 1136 they led three successful expeditions to Ceredigion, and managed to get possession of at least the northern portion of that district. In 1137 Owain succeeded, on Gruffudd ap Cynan's death, to the sovereignty of Gwynedd or North Wales. Cadwaladr appears to have found his portion in his former conquests of Meirionydd and northern Ceredigion. The intruder from Gwynedd soon became involved in feuds both with his south Welsh neighbours and with his family. In 1143 his men slew Anarawd, son of Gruffudd of South Wales, to whom Owain Gwynedd had promised his daughter in marriage. Repudiated by his brother, who sent his son Howel to ravage his share of Ceredigion and to attack his castle of Aberystwith, Cadwaladr fled to Ireland, whence he returned next year with a fleet of Irish Danes, to wreak vengeance on Owain. The fleet had already landed at the mouth of the Menai Straits when the intervention of the `goodmen' of Gwynedd reconciled the brothers. Disgusted at what they probably regarded as treachery, the Irish pirates seized and blinded Cadwaladr, and only released him on the payment of a heavy ransom of 2,000 bondmen (some of the chroniclers say cattle). Their attempt to plunder the country was successfully resisted by Owain. In 1146, however, fresh hostilities broke out between Cadwaladr and his brother's sons Howel and Cynan. They invaded Meirionydd and captured his castle of Cynvael, despite the valiant resistance of his steward, Morvran, abbot of Whitland. This disaster lost Cadwaladr Meirionydd, and so hard was he pressed that, despite his building a castle at Llanrhystyd in Ceredigion (1148), he was compelled to surrender his possessions in that district to his son, apparently in hope of a compromise; but Howel next year captured his cousin and conquered his territory, while the brothers of the murdered Anarawd profited by the dissensions of the princes of Gwynedd to conquer Ceredigion as far north as the Aeron, and soon extended their conquests into Howel's recent acquisitions. Meanwhile Cadwaladr was expelled by Owain from his last refuge in Mona. Cadwaladr now seems to have taken refuge with the English, with whom, if we may believe a late authority, his marriage with a lady of the house of Clare had already connected him (Powel, History of Cambria, p. 232, ed. 1584). The death of Stephen put an end to the long period of Welsh freedom under which Cadwaladr had grown up. In 1156 he was temporarily granted an estate at Ness, Shropshire worth £7 a year. In 1157 Henry II's first expedition to Wales, though by no means a brilliant success, was able to effect Cadwaladr's restoration to his old dominions. Despite his blindness, Cadwaladr had not lost his energy. In 1158 he joined the marcher lords and his nephews in an expedition against Rhys ap Gruffudd of South Wales. In 1165 Cadwaladr took part in the general resistance to Henry II's third expedition to Wales. In 1169 the death of Owain Gwynedd probably weakened his position. In March 1172 Cadwaladr himself died, and was buried in the same tomb as Owain, before the high altar of Bangor Cathedral (Gir. Cambr. It. Camb. in Op. (Rolls ed.), iii. 133). In 1156 he was temporarily granted an estate at Ness, Shropshire worth £7 a year. He died in 1172, and was buried before the high altar of Bangor Cathedral. Wynn Hist. of the Gnydir Fam. (1827): 20.

Between 1151 and 1152 Ranulf, Earl of Chester ... confirmed the Monks of Shrewsbury in the possession of all their lands between the Ribble and the Mersey. 'The Earl's Charter is dated at Chester, and attested as follows. - Testibus, Comite de Clara, et Cadwaladro ... The Earl of Clare here alluded to, was Gilbert. He was Nephew of Earl Ranulph himself, and, in the year 1146, had been given up to Stephen as a hostage for his Uncle's good faith and allegiance. His flight from Stephen's Court is recorded by the Chroniclers. It is evident that he took refuge with his Uncle. He died, in 1151 without issue, and was succeeded by his brother Roger. This fact, as well as a comparison of dates and ages, will show that Cadwalader's wife, Alice, was a Sister of Earl Gilbert and a daughter of Earl Richard de Clare, and, finally, a niece of Ranulph, Earl of Chester. For a time he [Cadwallader] remained in alliance with the English, as when, in 1159, he assisted the Earls of Clare and of Bristol to relieve Carmarthen, then besieged by Prince Rese of South Wales. He was also a munificent Benefactor to Haughmond Abbey. In 1165 he is found leagued with Owen Gwyneth against the English, and probably retained that adverse position till his death in 1172.").

Children of Walter de Gant, by Maud of Brittany: i. GILBERT DE GANT, of Folkingham, Lincolnshire, Stanton (in Fen Stanton), Huntingdonshire, Burley, Rutland, etc., son and heir, born at Bridlington about 1120. In the period, 1139-1149, he confirmed his father's gift of land to Hausgot de Eakring. He fought on the side of King Stephen at the Battle of Lincoln in Feb. 1140/1, where he was taken prisoner by Ranulph, Earl of Chester. He married ROHESE DE CLARE, daughter of Richard Fitz Gilbert, of Clare, Suffolk, by Alice, daughter of Ranulph, Earl of Chester [see CLARE 3 for her ancestry]. They had one daughter, Alice. In 1147 he claimed the honour of Pontefract against Henry de Lacy, and, in the fighting which ensued, Pontefract Priory was burned down and Gilbert was excommunicated. He was created Earl of Lincoln c.1148. About 1148, as Earl of Lincoln, he founded Rufford Abbey, Nottinghamshire. In the period, 1148-53, he granted Rufford Abbey all the land which Ralph son of Rainger held of him in Cratela, Nottinghamshire less a bovate, in exchange for a carucate of land in Barton on Humber, Lincolnshire. In the period, 1148-66, his wife, Rohese confirmed to the monks of Kirkstead the donation of Ralph Fitz Gilbert of land at Scampton, Lincolnshire which her husband, Earl Gilbert, gave her in dower.

He gave the advowsons of Woodham Walter (c. 1167) and Burnham (c. 1170), both in Essex, to the Hospitallers. In 1155 he gave the church of Burnham on Crouch, Essex to Dunmow Priory. In the period, 1167-1170, he gave the advowsons of Burnham and Woodham Walter, Essex to the Hospitallers. Sometime about 1170 he granted his warhorse and arms to the Hospitaliers on his decease. His first wife, Maud, was presumably living about 1170. About 1175 he gave three mills and various tracts of land in Daventry and Drayton, Northamptonshire to St. Mary of La Charite and the monks of St. Augustine in Daventry. He also gave the oblations of his household to the monks of Daventry to maintain the lights in the priory church.

He married SIBYL DE CHAOURCES, daughter of Patrick (or Patrice) de Chaources (or de Sourches), seigneur of Sourches (in Saint-Symphorien) in Maine, Toddington, Bedfordshire, Great Wishford, Wiltshire, etc., by Maud, daughter of Ernulph (or Arnulph) de Hesdin (or Hesding) [see CHAWORTH 1 for her ancestry]. They had three sons, William, Patrick [1st Earl of Salisbury], and Walter [Canon of Bradenstoke], and two daughters, Hawise and Sibyl. About 1115 King Henry I gave, or more probably confirmed, to the church of Salisbury two hides of land at Warminster, Wiltshire which Walter, son of Edward of Salisbury, had held. In 1130 he was acquitted of £4 of Danegeld in Dorset and £7 in Wiltshire. He was present at the Council of Northampton in 1131. He was with King Stephen at Westminster at Easter 1136, and at Salisbury at Christmas 1139. He founded Bradenstoke Priory in the parish of Lyneham, Wiltshire in 1139. He endowed the priory with the vill of Bradenstoke and the church to Lyneham, Wiltshire; his charter was confirmed by his wife, Sibyl, and his sons, William and Patrick. In 1142 he granted the manor of Tarlton (in Rodmarton), Gloucestershire to the Cathedral church of Salisbury, in recompense for the harm done to the church by his son, William. His wife, Sibyl, predeceased him. WALTER OF SALISBURY took the habit of a canon at Bradenstoke Priory. He died in 1147. He and his wife, Sibyl, were buried at Bradenstoke Priory in the same grave.

As a baron, he witnessed a charter of king Stephen, in the year 1136; and in 1142 he founded the priory of Bradenstoke, in the vale of Malmesbury, placing therein regular canons of the order of St. Augustine. After the death of his wife (as related in the Book of Lacock), he assume the tonsure and habit of the canons; and there the bodies of both his wife and himself were placed in one tomb by the presbytery. The name of his wife was Sibilla de Cadurcis, or (in English) Chaworth, by him he left issue his son and heir Patrick, afterwards the first Earl of Salisbury. Two younger sons, Walter and William, are said to have been canons of Bradenstoke. Hawise, a daughter, was very honourably married in France. She became, in 1126, the second wife of Rotrou first comte de Perche; and was remarried before 1145 to Robert of France, comte de Dreux: she died before 1152.").

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

Something of the early history of this very difficult family has already been sketched, but the line can be extended further backwards. Its founder appears to be Hugh, younger son of Ernauld lord of Marigne in southern Maine, who built a castle at Sourches; he occurs in the Cartulary of Marrnoutier about 1046/50 as Hugues de Sourches le Marigné. He gave St. Mars de Ballon (vicum sancti Medardi juxta castrum Baledoni) to the Abbey of la Couture. His son Patric became a monk of la Couture, and under the style Patricus de Cadurcis filius flugonis de Matrinniaco [Marigné] gave Lavaré to the Abbey about 1050, his sons Hugh and Geoffrey consenting. His successor, probably his grandson and the son of Hugh (who attests 1050 and 1085), is the Patric I de Chaworth who heads the family in the accounts already published by this Society. Having accidentally killed a lad, he made atonement to the father by giving the church of Bemay, and land at Bemay and Sourches to la Couture about 1080/90; when making ready for the First Crusade in 1095, he entrusted his son Hugh to the same Abbey. His wife Matilda was probably a daughter of Ernulf de Hesdin, the Domesday tenant of Toddington; she and her husband granted the church there (Dedingtona Dodingetona) to la Couture, and the grant was confirmed by King Henry I, in a charter of the probable date 1105/7. To St. Peter Gloucester he gave a hide at Ampney before 1104, confirmed by Henry I probably in 1105; in 1115/30 he further gave to the monastery the church of Kempsford with lands and mills there and elsewhere in co. Gloucs.; their last gift is dated 1133. He appears in the Pipe Roll of 1130 as pardoned Danegeld in Oxon. Wilts. Glos. Beds. and Berks.; and it is implied that he was alive in 1135.").

He was in the army of King Stephen at the Battle of Lincoln 2 Feb. 1140/1, but fled with his brother, Count Waleran, before the enemy's opening charge. However, the brothers soon rallied to the queen during the king's captivity and were with her in London about June 1141. After King Stephen's release in Nov. 1141, he witnessed royal charters at Canterbury at Christmas 1141 and at Ipswich in early 1142.

Sometime before 1148 he witnessed a charter of Roger Fitz Humphrey to the Templars. In 1153 he witnessed the treaty between King Stephen and Henry, Duke of Normandy [future King Henry II]. After the accession of King Henry II, he continued to act as Sheriff and was frequently at Court. He witnessed a charter of his brother-in-law, John Marshal, to the Templars in 1155-6. At an unknown date, he gave Bradenstoke Priory the church of Wilcot, with its dependent chapel at Draycot Fitz Payne, as well as a portion of the manor of Wilcot, Wiltshire. He also exchanged the property in Wilsford, Wiltshire given by his father, for the rest of the manor of Wilcot, Wiltshire, and also gave a salt pit in Canford, Dorset. His wife, Countess Ela, gave the same priory land and rents in Hatherop, Gloucestershire worth 100s. yearly. In 1167 he accompanied King Henry II to Poitou, where the king assigned him to protect his queen, Eleanor of Aquitaine. PATRICK, Earl of Salisbury was slain about 7 April 1168 by Poitevin nobles while riding near the castle of Lusigan in Poitou with Queen Eleanor. He was buried in the Abbey of St. Hilaire in Poitiers. Queen Eleanor and her son, Richard, subsequently founded an anniversary at St.-Hilaire for their salvation and for the soul of Earl Patrick "who died in our service." His widow, Ela, Countess of Salisbury, died 10 Dec. 1174.

In 1158 the Bishop of Soissons absolved him from an excommunication pronounced because of exactions against the priory of Councy. About 1177 another Bishop of Soissons lifted an interdict which the bishop had laid on Robert's land because of a dispute with the prelate. In 1170's he was involved in a dispute over property which he had unjustly taken from the abbey of Igny. In 1183 Pope Lucius III authorized the cathedral chapter at Chartres to excommunicate named barons, including Robert, for exactions in that diocese. ROBERT I, Count of Dreux and Braine, died 11 October 1188. His widow, Agnes, founded Saint-Yved Abbey in Braine. She died 24 July 1204. Robert and his wife, Agnès, were buried in the church of the Abbey of Saint-Yved, Braine.

He married SIBYL DE CHAOURCES, daughter of Patrick (or Patrice) de Chaources (or de Sourches), seigneur of Sourches (in Saint-Symphorien) in Maine, Toddington, Bedfordshire, Great Wishford, Wiltshire, etc., by Maud, daughter of Ernulph (or Arnulph) de Hesdin (or Hesding) [see CHAWORTH 1 for her ancestry]. They had three sons, William, Patrick [1st Earl of Salisbury], and Walter [Canon of Bradenstoke], and two daughters, Hawise and Sibyl. About 1115 King Henry I gave, or more probably confirmed, to the church of Salisbury two hides of land at Warminster, Wiltshire which Walter, son of Edward of Salisbury, had held. In 1130 he was acquitted of £4 of Danegeld in Dorset and £7 in Wiltshire. He was present at the Council of Northampton in 1131. He was with King Stephen at Westminster at Easter 1136, and at Salisbury at Christmas 1139. He founded Bradenstoke Priory in the parish of Lyneham, Wiltshire in 1139. He endowed the priory with the vill of Bradenstoke and the church to Lyneham, Wiltshire; his charter was confirmed by his wife, Sibyl, and his sons, William and Patrick. In 1142 he granted the manor of Tarlton (in Rodmarton), Gloucestershire to the Cathedral church of Salisbury, in recompense for the harm done to the church by his son, William. His wife, Sibyl, predeceased him. WALTER OF SALISBURY took the habit of a canon at Bradenstoke Priory. He died in 1147. He and his wife, Sibyl, were buried at Bradenstoke Priory in the same grave.

As a baron, he witnessed a charter of king Stephen, in the year 1136; and in 1142 he founded the priory of Bradenstoke, in the vale of Malmesbury, placing therein regular canons of the order of St. Augustine. After the death of his wife (as related in the Book of Lacock), he assume the tonsure and habit of the canons; and there the bodies of both his wife and himself were placed in one tomb by the presbytery. The name of his wife was Sibilla de Cadurcis, or (in English) Chaworth, by him he left issue his son and heir Patrick, afterwards the first Earl of Salisbury. Two younger sons, Walter and William, are said to have been canons of Bradenstoke. Hawise, a daughter, was very honourably married in France.

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

MAUD (or MATHILDE, MAHAUT) OF ENGLAND, married in 1103 (as his 1st wife) ROTROU II “the Great,” Count of Perche, seigneur of Belleme, son and heir of Geoffroi, Count of Mortagne and Perche, by Beatrix, daughter of Count Hilduin, Count of Montdidier and Roucy. He was born about 1080. Her maritagium likely included the manors of Aldboume and Wanborough, Wiltshire. They had two daughters, Philippe and Felicie. During the 1st Crusade, he fought at the Siege of Nicaea in mid-1097. He commanded a division that broke out of Antioch in June 1098. He crusaded against the Muslims in Spain probably in 1108. In 1114 he aided his father-in-law, King Henry I, at the Siege of Belleme. At the request of his wife, Maud, a hide of land at Wanborough, Wiltshire was given to Lewes Priory. His wife, Maud, was drowned in the shipwreck of the White Ship 25 Dec. 1120. He was Governor of Tudela in Aragon and participated in campaigns in Aragon from 1123 until the mid-1130s. He returned to Perche by 1135.

They had three sons, Geoffroi, Rotrou (III) [Count of Perche], and Etienne [Archbishop-elect of Palermo]. After King Henry I's death in 1135, he and his nephew, Richer de l'Aigle, extorted the castles of Moulins and Bonmoulins as the price for their support for King Stephen. In 1139 he was taken in the English king's pay and defeated the unruly knights of Breteuil.

In June 1137 he was one of the nobles who deserted the army of King Stephen in Normandy. The king pursued them to Pont-Audemer, where he held William and other youths and did his best to pacify them, but did not dare make them fight. William was with his half-brother, Waleran, Count of Meulan, at Rouen 18 Dec. 1138, and at Oxford in 1139 or early in 1140. He was in the army of King Stephen at the Battle of Lincoln 2 Feb. 1140/1, but fled with his brother, Count Waleran, before the enemy's opening charge. However, the brothers soon rallied to the queen during the king's captivity and were with her in London about June 1141. After King Stephen's release in Nov. 1141, he witnessed royal charters at Canterbury at Christmas 1141 and at Ipswich in early 1142. He married ELA (or ALA) OF PONTHIEU, daughter of Guillaume III Talvas, Count of Ponthieu and Alençon, by Ela, daughter of Eudes I Borel, Duke of Burgundy. They had one daughter, Isabel. He took the cross on Palm Sunday 24 March 1145/6, and subsequently accompanied King Louis VIII of France on crusade in June 1147. WILLIAM DE WARENNE, 3rd Earl of Surrey, died 19 Jan. 1147/8, being slain when the rearguard of the French king's army was cut to pieces in Laodicea. About 1150 Theobald, Archbishop of Canterbury, remonstrated with his widow, Ela, for detaining from the monks of Lewes Priory the tithes of her dower lands. She married (2nd) probably in or before 1152 (as his 2nd wife) PATRICK OF SALISBURY (otherwise known as PATRICK FITZ WALTER), 1st Earl of Salisbury [see LONGESPEE 3], hereditary Sheriff of Wiltshire, Steward of the Household to Empress Maud, son and heir of Walter of Salisbury (also known as Walter Fitz Edward), of Chitteme, Wiltshire, Great Gaddesden, Hertfordshire, North Aston, Oxfordshire, etc., hereditary Sheriff of Wiltshire, Constable of Salisbury Castle, by Sibyl, daughter of Patrick de Chaources (or Sourches) [see LONGESPEE 2 for his ancestry]. They had four sons, William [2nd Earl of Salisbury], Patrick [Canon of Bradenstoke], Philip [Canon of Bradenstoke], and Roger. He was created Earl of Salisbury (or Wiltshire) about 1143; he occurs once as Earl of Wiltshire in the period, 1111 50. He witnessed a charter of Henry d'Oilly in the period, 1144-47. Sometime before 1148 he witnessed a charter of Roger Fitz Humphrey to the Templars. In 1153 he witnessed the treaty between King Stephen and Henry, Duke of Normandy [future King Henry II]. After the accession of King Henry II, he continued to act as Sheriff and was frequently at Court. He witnessed a charter of his brother-in-law, John Marshal, to the Templars in 1155-6. At an unknown date, he gave Bradenstoke Priory the church of Wilcot, with its dependent chapel at Draycot Fitz Payne, as well as a portion of the manor of Wilcot, Wiltshire. He also exchanged the property in Wilsford, Wiltshire given by his father, for the rest of the manor of Wilcot, Wiltshire, and also gave a salt pit in Canford, Dorset. His wife, Countess Ela, gave the same priory land and rents in Hatherop, Gloucestershire worth 100s. yearly. In 1167 he accompanied King Henry II to Poitou, where the king assigned him to protect his queen, Eleanor of Aquitaine. PATRICK, Earl of Salisbury was slain about 7 April 1168 by Poitevin nobles while riding near the castle of Lusigan in Poitou with Queen Eleanor. He was buried in the Abbey of St. Hilaire in Poitiers. Queen Eleanor and her son, Richard, subsequently founded an anniversary at St.-Hilaire for their salvation and for the soul of Earl Patrick "who died in our service." His widow, Ela, Countess of Salisbury, died 10 Dec. 1174.

In 1149 he was involved in an aborted conspiracy to seize the throne. His wife, Hawise, died before 1152. He married (2nd) in late 1152 AGNES DE BAUDEMENT, lady of Fere-en-Tardenois, Nesle, Pontarcis, Longueville, Quincy, and Baudement, widow of Milon II, Count of Bar-sur-Seine (died 1 October 1151), and daughter and heiress of Guy (or Gui) de Baudement, seigneur of Braine, Seneschal of Champagne, by his wife, Alix.

In 1158 the Bishop of Soissons absolved him from an excommunication pronounced because of exactions against the priory of Councy. About 1177 another Bishop of Soissons lifted an interdict which the bishop had laid on Robert's land because of a dispute with the prelate. In 1170's he was involved in a dispute over property which he had unjustly taken from the abbey of Igny. In 1183 Pope Lucius III authorized the cathedral chapter at Chartres to excommunicate named barons, including Robert, for exactions in that diocese.

He married after 10 Feb. 1365/6 AGNES POYNINGS (or PONYNGES), daughter of Michael de Poynings, Knt., 1st Lord Poynings, by his wife, Joan [see POYNINGS 14 for her ancestry]. They had two sons, Thomas, Knt. [5th Lord Bardolf] and William, Knt., and two daughters, Elizabeth and Cecily. His wife, Agnes, was a legatee in the 1369 will of her mother, Joan, Lady Poynings, and in the 1374 will of her brother, Thomas de Poynings, 2nd Lord Poynings. He presented to the churches of Cantley, Norfolk, 1372 and 1373; Watton-atte-Stone, Hertfordshire, 1373; North Runcton, Norfolk, 1373; Bradwell, Essex, 1378; and Gedling, Nottinghamshire, 1379; and to the chapel of St. Mary in Watton-atte-Stone, Hertfordshire, 1375. He was summoned to Parliament from 28 Dec. 1375 to 3 Sept. 1385, by writs directed Willelmo Bardolf’ de Wirmegge. In 1377 he brought a suit against William Fitz Hugh of London, goldsmith, "for refusing to surrender four scochons [escutcheons] with hatchments of his arms" which were found in Fitz Hugh's possession. At an unknown date, he conveyed the reversion of the manor of Holton, Oxfordshire to Robert Bardolf, Knt., for life. SIR WILLIAM BARDOLF, 4th Lord Bardolf, died 29 Jan. 1385/6. He left a will dated 12 Sept. 1385, requesting burial in the quire of the church of the Friar Carmelites at Lynn, Norfolk. His widow, Agnes, married (2nd) shortly after 10 April 1386 THOMAS MORTIMER, Knt., of Cavendish, Wratting, and Stansfield, Suffolk, and, in right of his wife, of Wormegay, Cantley, and Caister, Norfolk, Chief Justice of Ireland, 1382, Seneschal (or Under Steward) of the Liberty of Bury St. Edmund, younger son of Roger de Mortimer, K.G., 2nd Earl of March, Marshal of England, by Philippe, daughter of William de Montagu, Knt., 1st Earl of Salisbury, 3td Lord Montagu, Marshal of England [see MORTIMER 12 for his ancestry]. They had no known issue. He was a legatee in the 1380 will of his brother, Edmund de Mortimer, Earl of March and Ulster, who bequeathed him £100. He fought at the Battle of Radcot Bridge in 1387, where he killed Thomas Molineux, Constable of Chester Castle. In 1389-90 Sir Thomas Mortimer, William Ford, clerk, and William Skreyve fined with Stephen le Scrope, Knt., and Margery his wife regarding the manor of Great Finborough, Suffolk. He presented to the churches of Cantley and Whinburgh, Norfolk, 1391; Garveston, Norfolk, 1392; and West Briggs and Wormegay, Norfolk, 1397. In 1394-5 he and others fined with Walter Russell and Alice his wife regarding Arrington and Crauden, Cambridgeshire. He was a legatee and named a supervisor of the 1396 will of Walter Brugge, clerk. He was impeached of high treason by Parliament in 1397, and became a fugitive. His chief crime was the same as that of Warwick and Gloucester, namely the levying of war against the king at Harringay Park (now Hornsey), Middlesex in 1388. The king did not ask for any declaration of the crime by Parliament. Sir Thomas was to stand convicted by default if within three months he failed to appear to stand trial. On 24 Sept. 1397 an order was sent to his nephew, Roger Mortimer, Earl of March, Lieutenant of Ireland, to send Sir Thomas over to appear before the Parliament. Sir Thomas fled to one of the Irish septs and was outlawed. In 1401-2 Agnes, Lady Bardolf released the manor of Grays (in Cavendish), Suffolk to her nephew, Robert Poynings, Lord Poynings, and others. She presented to the church of North Runcton, Norfolk in 1402. SIR THOMAS MORTIMER died in Scotland sometime before 14 March 1402/3, on which date his widow, Agnes, had license to go on a pilgrimage to Rome and Cologne with twelve men and twelve horses in her company. Following his death, his remains were brought to England and buried at Wigmore Abbey, Herefordshire. Agnes, Lady Bardolf died 12 June 1403, and was buried in Trinity Priory, Aldgate, London.

They had one son, John, Knt. In or before 1198 he became Chamberlain to John, Count of Mortain [afterwards King John]. At John's accession to the throne, he became the most important official in the country, and received many grants of lands, wardships and offices, including Shrievaltys successively of eleven counties, and the honour of Camel, Somerset formerly belonging to William de Roumare. Sometime before 1202, he gave the church of East Camel, Somerset to Cleeve Abbey, Somerset. He held the castle of Chinon for King John, but after a year's siege, he was obliged to evacuate it. In the fight to break through the French lines was severely wounded and taken prisoner 23 June 1205, after which he was in disgrace and did not appear in public affairs for several years. He temporarily lost the honour of Camel, Somerset between 1205 and 1207, but recovered possession and held it until 1228, when he exchanged it for other royal lands. His wife, Beatrice, died shortly before 12 Dec. 1214. At the meeting at Runnymede he sided with King John, and was named in Magna Carta, and was one of those appointed to uphold the twenty-five Barons who were made custodians thereof. In 1216 he defended Dover Castle against Prince Louis and the Barons. In August 1217 he defeated a French fleet off Dover at the Battle of South Foreland. In Sept. 1217 he was a party to the treaty of peace made by Prince Louis at Lambeth before he left England. Hubert married (2nd) c.17 Sept. 1217 ISABEL OF GLOUCESTER, Countess of Gloucester, lady of Glamorgan, divorced wife of King John of England [see ENGLAND 5], and widow of Geoffrey de Mandeville, Knt., 5th Earl of Essex (died 23 Feb. 1215/6) [see ESSEX 2.i], and youngest daughter and co-heiress of William Fitz Robert, Earl of Gloucester, by Hawise, daughter of Robert of Meulan, Knt., 1st Earl of Leicester [see GLOUCESTER 4 for her ancestry]. They had no issue. His wife, Isabel, died 14 October 1217, and was buried in Canterbury Cathedral Church. He married (3rd) at York, Yorkshire in June 1221 MARGARET (or MARGERY) OF SCOTLAND [see SCOTLAND 4.iii], daughter of William the Lion, King of Scots, Earl of Huntingdon, by Ermengarde, daughter of Richard de Beaumont, Vicomte of Beaumont-en-Maine [see SCOTLAND 4 for her ancestry]. They had one daughter, Margaret. In 1221 he demanded that the royal castles, which had been seized by the Barons, and some of which were in the hands of foreigners likes Faukes de Breaute, should be restored to the Crown. In 1221 he gave the advowson of the church of Portslade, Sussex to Bradsole Abbey. About 1221 he founded a house of Dominican friars near Ludgate in London, and gave them land in Holborn for their house. In 1222 he suppressed a riot in London with great severity. In 1222 Matthew nephew of Geoffrey Wake fined 200 marks with him for a quitclaim to Ebbesborne Wake, Wiltshire. In 1223 the Earl of Chester with Faukes de Breaute and others combined against him, but he overcame them; in August 1224 he captured Breautes castle of Bedford and secured his banishment. He was granted a market at Burgh next Aylsham, Norfolk in 1226. He was created Earl of Kent 19 Feb. 1226/7, entailed on the issue of Hubert by his 3rd wife, Margaret In 1227 he and his wife, Margaret, were granted an unspecified number of fairs at three manors, including Nayland, Suffolk. In March 1227 the king granted him the manor of Upper Arleigh, Staffordshire, which formerly belonged to his brother, Thomas de Burgh, Knt. In 1228 he and his wife, Margaret, were granted unspecified markets and fairs at four manors, including Hadleigh, Essex and Haughley and Nayland, Suffolk. In 1229 Roger de Dauntsey, Knt., and his wife, Maud de Mandeville, Countess of Essex and Hereford, sold him one moiety of the manor of Long Compton, Warwickshire, including the capital messuage. In October 1229 he and his wife, Margaret, were granted the manor, castle, and honour of Knaresborough, Yorkshire; he also had a grant of the honour of Eye, Suffolk. He accompanied the king on his expedition to Poitou and Gascony in 1230, for the failure of which he was blamed. In 1231 he was granted a weekly market and a yearly fair at Long Compton, Warwickshire. In 1231 Anketil Mallore was summoned by Earl Hubert to state by what warrant he held the manor of [Upper] Arleigh, Staffordshire, which was the demesne of the king, and which the said Earl had by gift of the king. The king acknowledged that the Earl was in seisin, and had been disseised by him. Thus, it was considered that the Earl should recover his seisin, and that Anketill was in mercy. In early 1231 or early 1232 the pope set up an inquiry into Hubert's marriage on the grounds that Margaret his 3rd wife was related to his 2nd wife. Hubert's anger was widely known and provoked a papal letter of rebuke 9 June 1232. King Henry chafed at the restraints which his powerful minister imposed on him, and found an excuse to break him, depriving him of the Justiciarship. He was ordered to surrender the castles of Dover, Canterbury, Rochester, Windsor, Odiham, Hertford, Colchester, the Tower, and all his other castles. He was pardoned by the king in 1234; his lands were restored to him and he recovered his earldom. However, for the rest of his life he had little part in public affairs. In 1238 Huward de Bikelegh brought a suit against him for seizure of the fair at Holwell, Somerset. SIR HUBERT DE BURGH, Earl of Kent, died testate at Banstead, Surrey shortly before 5 May 1243. His widow, Margaret, Countess of Kent, died 15 Nov. 1259. He and his wife, Margaret, were buried in the church of the Black Friars, London. Brooke Discoverie of Certaine Errours (1724): 36-37.

He married BEATRICE DE VALLE, former mistress of Reynold Fitz Roy, Earl of Cornwall. They had two sons, Richard and William, Knt., and five daughters, Grace, Isabel, Joan, Alice, and Margery. He was made custodian of the barony of Bampton, Devon in 1185, following the flight from England of Fulk Paynell. In 1190 he was granted the manor of King's Somborne, Hampshire. In 1190-91 a dispute between him and Hugh Buvet, Canon of Salisbury, was settled regarding the church of King's Somborne, Hampshire; it being resolved that William should possess the right of presentation to the church and that Hugh and his successors should receive an annual pension of 100s. Sometime in the period, 1189-99, he was granted a weekly market in 'The Street' parcel of King's Somborne, Hampshire. In the same period, he was granted the manor of Pentewan, Cornwall, together with the advowson of Lamwenep, Cornwall by Godfrey de Lucy, Bishop of Winchester. In 1191-2 he granted a rent of 20 shillings to the Priory of St. Denys, near Southampton. He remained loyal to King Richard I throughout the king's absence, both on crusade and in captivity. He sat as a justice on the king's bench in the reigns of Kings Richard and John. He was present at Worms in 1193, when the terms of King Richard's ransom were agreed. In 1198 he purchase the manor of Bradworthy, Devon from Henry de Pomeroy son of Maud de Vitré. In 1198 he successfully claimed lands in Goodleigh, Devon against Jordan d'Abernon, Baldwin Giffard, and Margaret de Bellalanda. In 1199 he was granted the manor of Bridgwater, Somerset by Fulk Paynell as part of an exchange, which property became his chief seat. In 1199 Baldwin Giffard and Jordan d'Abernon sued out a writ of mort d'ancestor against him for the half vill of Lynton and the vill of Forston, Devon. Sometime in the period, 1199-1226, Walter Croc, son of Walter Croc, granted him in fee and inheritance, his moiety of the lands which he had inherited from his uncle, Walter Bruton. In the same period, Jervase Juas, son of Bretell Juas, granted him all his land of Colentona, together with the advowson of the church. In the period, 1199-1226, Fulk Paynell, of Bampton, addressed the Prior and Chapter of the Hospital of England, declaring that by his charter he had confirmed to William Briwerre his manor of Renham, and commanding the Chapter to answer thenceforth to the said William the yearly rent of 101., which used to be paid to the said Fulk. In the period, 1199-1226, Richard de Pyro issued letters patent in favor of William Briwerre, by which the said Richard made oath that he would confirm the charter of the land of Chedesie [Chedzoy], Somerset made by William de Pyro, his father, to the said William Briwerre. He founded Torre Abbey, Devon, 1196, Dunkeswell Abbey, Devon, 1201, and Mottisfont Priory, Hampshire, 1201. In 1200 he had license to fortify a castle in Hampshire either at Ashley or Stockbridge. The same year he was granted a weekly market and yearly fair at Bridgwater, SomerSer. In 1203 the king granted him 1/2 fee in Bakewell, Derbyshire, and the following year increased the grant by the gift of the other 1/2 fee there. In 1204 the king made several other grants to him, including the barony of Horsley, Derbyshire (except for the castle of Horsley), the honour of Lavendon, Buckinghamshire, and the manors of Chesterfield, Derbyshire, Axminster, Devon, and Sneinton, Nottinghamshire. In 1209 he was appointed to negotiate with the pope's legates at Dover. In 1211 he was numbered by Roger of Wendover among King John's "evil counselors." He signed the treaty made by King John with the Count of Boulogne in May 1212. He was granted the manor of Chedzoy, Somerset in 1215, following the rebellion of William de Montagu; between 1219 and 1226 he and Alan Basset, guardian of the heir of William de Montagu, disputed possession of Chedzoy. During the minority of King Henry III, he played an important role in the revitalization of royal finances following the chaos created by the civil war. He presented to the churches of Stoke Bruerne, Northamptonshire, 1217 and 1221, and Blisworth, Northamptonshire, 1226. In 1217 he gave a gold chalice to Worcester Cathedral for its rededication. He also sent two silver chalices to Premontre in France, and founded the Hospital of St. John at Bridgwater, Somerset for thirteen poor people besides religious and strangers. He is also said to have founded the Benedictine nunnery of Polsloe, Devon. In 1218 he was involved in a dispute with Peter, Bishop of Winchester and Walter, Prior and the convent of St. Swithun's regarding customs and demands claimed by William Briwerre from the men of the bishop and prior of Winchester in the forest of William's bailiwick and in the hundred of Somborne. In 1218 he accounted for 40s. for land of Kingeswere for the previous and current years. In 1223 he opposed the confirmation of the Magna Carta and the charter of the forest, declaring that they were "extorted by violence." SIR WILLIAM BRIWERRE died 24 Nov. 1226, and was buried in the habit of a Cistercian monk before the high altar in Dunkeswell Abbey, Devon. At her death, his wife, Beatrice, was buried at Mottisfont Priory, Hampshire.
