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.

Mr. Yeatman gives no authority whatever for this statement, and it is to be regretted that it has been quoted as history.

She was also a cousin of Henry de Pomerio, apparently, through her mother. It is through the evidence of Charter 9 that we can be certain that she brought Lord Wiliam the manor of Coletone - as a part of her dowry, probably. This manor her family held from the de Nonants … Reichel identifies Coletone as the Pomeroy manor of Domesday, and suggests that a daughter of the house of Pomeroy may have married a de Valle, these being the parents of Beatrix who in turn had Coletone as her dowry.") - but see Thorn Domesday Book: Devon (Domesday Book 9) (1985): 20 (author states that William Briwere purchased Shiphay Collaton, Devon from the Pomeroy family and gave it to Torre Abbey).

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.

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.

Although he was the heir male of his great-grandfather, William de Percy, he only obtained possession of approximately a moiety of the Percy barony (i.e., the moiety held by his great aunt, Maud de Percy, Countess of Warwick), until the death in 1244 of his uncle, Richard de Percy, who held the other moiety and with whom he had a long series of disputes. In 1214 he proceeded to Rome on the king's service. In 1221 he served with the king at Biham. In 1224 he was excused scutage for the army in Wales for his good service.

Children of Mabel of Chester, by William d'Aubeney:
i. HUGH D'AUBENEY, Knt., 5th Earl of Arundel, Chief Butler of England, 2nd son of William d'Aubeney, 3rd Earl of Arundel, by Mabel, 2nd daughter of Hugh, Earl of Chester. He was born about 1214 (of age in 1235). He was heir in 1224 to his older brother, William d'Aubeney, 4th Earl of Arundel. He was co-heir in 1232 to his uncle, Ranulph, Earl of Chester and Lincoln. In 1233 he made fine with the king by 2500 marks to have the lands of his late brother, William d'Aubeney, Earl of Arundel, until his legal age, as well as the lands which fell to Hugh by hereditary right of the lands formerly of his uncle, Ranulph, Earl of Chester and Lincoln. He married in 1234 ISABEL DE WARENNE, daughter of William de Warenne, Knt., 6th Earl of Surrey, Warden of the Cinque Ports, by Maud, daughter of William Marshal, Knt, 4th Earl of Pembroke (or Striguil), hereditary Master Marshal [see WARENNE 8 for her ancestry]. They had no issue. In 1240 he was summoned to restore the manor of Whaddon, Buckinghamshire to the king as an escheat of the Normans. Hugh stated that he, his brother, and his father had all been given livery of the lands, but, though he quoted the terms of the original grant made to his father in 1207, Whaddon was surrendered to the king. In 1242 he accompanied the King in his expedition to Guienne. SIR HUGH D'AUBENEY, Earl of Arundel, died 7 May 1243, and was buried at Wymondham Priory, Norfolk. In 1244 his widow, Countess Isabel, sued Robert de Sheney for the third part of one carucate of land in Smisby, Derbyshire, and Ralph de Kenninghall for the third part of nine acres of land and one acre pf pasture in Kenninghall, Norfolk, and the one third part of 14 acres of land in Riddlesworth, Norfolk. The same year she also sued Thomas le Treys for the third part of one carucate of land in Atdeborough, Norfolk, William de Oddingseles for the third part of one-half carucate of land in Leeds, Yorkshire, Roger de Somery and Nichole his wife for the third part of two carucates of land in Chipping Campden, Gloucestershire, and one third part of one carucate of land in Great Tew, Oxfordshire, and Hugh le Bigod for the one third part of one carucate of land in Stoughton, Sussex. In 1249 Countess Isabel founded the Abbey of Marham, Norfolk. She presented to the church of Shenley, Buckinghamshire in 1272. In 1271 Roger de Somery was engaged in a lengthy lawsuit with her regarding the advowson of the church of Olney, Buckinghamshire; in 1273 it was noted that the patronage of the church was to remain with Roger by a concord between him and Countess Isabel. In 1277-8 Master John de Croft arraigned an assize of novel disseisin against her and others touching a tenement in Bilsham, Sussex. In 1278-9 Nigel le Got arraigned an assize of novel disseisin against her and others touching a tenement in Wymondham, Norfolk. Isabel, Countess of Arundel, died shortly before 23 Nov. 1282, and was buried at Marham, Norfolk. Blomefield Essay towards a Top.

2. “Royal Ancestry: A Study in Colonial & Medieval Families,” Douglas Richardson (2013):
“HUGH, 6th Earl of Chester, hereditary Vicomte of Avranches in Normandy, seigneur of Saint Sever and Briquessart, son and heir, born about 1141 (of age in 1162). He is sometimes called Hugh of Cyfeiliog, because, according to a late writer, he was born in that district of Wales. According to the chronicler, John of Hexham, it was agreed at Carlisle in 1150 that a son of Ranulph, Earl of Chester, should marry one of the daughters of Henry, son of the king of Scotland. The son of Earl Ranulph was presumably his eldest son, Hugh. The projected marriage never took place. In the period, 1154-7, Earl Hugh and his mother, Countess Maud, gave Styvechale (south of Coventry) to Walter, Bishop of Chester, and his successors for the absolution of Hugh's father, Lord Earl Ranulph, and the redemption of his soul and that of his ancestors. Sometime in the period, 1155- 63, the king ordered Earl Hugh and his mother, Countess Maud, to give to the Abbot and monks of Gloucester the rents which Hugh's father, Earl Ranulph, gave them in the mills of Oldney and Tadwell. He was present in 1163 at Dover for King Henry II's renewal of the Flemish money fief, and also attended the Council of Clarendon in January 1164. Sometime in the period, 1166-87, he confirmed the former grant made to Saint-Etienne Abbey, Caen by Ranulph, Vicomte of Bayeux, his ancestor, of all the land the said Ranulph possessed at Bretteville-l'Orgueilleuse. He married in 1169 BERTRADE DE MONTFORT, daughter of Simon de Montfort, Count of Evreux, seigneur of Montfort-l'Amaury, by his wife, Maud. She was born about 1156 (aged 29 in 1185). They had one son, Ranulph, Knt. [Earl of Chester and Lincoln], and five daughters, Maud, Mabel, Agnes, Hawise, and (wife of Llywelyn ap Iorwerth, Prince of North Wales). By an unknown mistress (or mistresses), he also had two illegitimate sons, William (or Pain) (of Milton), and Roger, and one illegitimate daughter, Amice. Hugh joined the rebellion of King Henry II's sons in 1173. He was captured by King Henry II at Dol in August 1173. In 1174 he was deprived of his lands for rebellion. He was subsequently regranted his honours and lands at the Council of Northampton in 1177. In March 1178 he witnessed King Henry II's award in the dispute between Alfonso IX, King of Castile, and Sancho V, King of Navarre. During his lifetime, he granted some lands in the Wirral to the Abbey of St. Werburgh, Chester, and made other special gifts to Stanlow Priory, St Mary's, Coventry, and the nuns of Buffington and Greenfield priories. He also confirmed his mother's grants to her foundation of Augustinian canons at Calke, Derbyshire, and those of his father to his convent of the Benedictine nuns of St Mary's, Chester. In 1171 he confirmed the grants of his father to the Abbey of St. Stephen in the diocese of Bayeux. He likewise granted the church of Belchford, Lincolnshire to Trentham Priory, and the church of Combe, Gloucestershire to the Abbey of Bordesley, Warwickshire. HUGH, Earl of Chester, died at Leek, Staffordshire 30 June 1181, and was buried next to his father in the chapter house of St Werburgh's, Chester. Sometime in the period, 1188-99, his widow, Bertrade, witnessed a charter of her son, Ranulph, Earl of Chester. In the period, 1190-1200, she reached agreement with the abbot and convent of Troarn in Normandy regarding the construction of a mill and fishpond on the boundary between her wood and theirs. Sometime before 1194-1203, she exchanged lands with the canons of Repton. Sometime in the period, 1200-10, she granted to Ralph Carbonel, of Halton, Lincolnshire, for his homage and service a half a knight's fee which he held of the said countess in Halton. In 1223 Richard Duket and Simon de Sees brought a plea of novel disseisin against her touching a tenement in Harmston, Lincolnshire. In 1226 she presented to the church of Waddington, Lincolnshire. In 1227 she arraigned an assize of last presentation to the church of Waddington, Lincolnshire against the abbot of St. Sever. Bertrade, Countess of Chester, died in 1227, after 31 March.

i. RANULPH, Knt., Earl of Chester, Vicomte of Avranches in Normandy, Judge in the King's Court, 1193, Constable of Sermilly Castle, 1201-4, Constable of the Tower of Avranches, 1203, Governor of the Peak Castle and Forest, 1215, Sheriff of Lancashire, 1216-22, Sheriff of Shropshire and Staffordshire, 1216,1217-23, Steward of the Town and Honour of Lancaster, 1216-23, Constable of Fotheringay Castle, 1221-2, Steward of the Honour of Leicester, 1222, and, in right of his 1st wife, Duke of Brittany, Earl of Richmond, son and heir, born at Oswestry in Powys c.1172. He was knighted by the king at Caen 1 Jan. 1187/8. He married (1st) 3 Feb. 1187/8 (or 1189) CONSTANCE OF BRITTANY [see BRITTANY 6], widow of Geoffrey of England, Duke of Brittany, Earl of Richmond (killed in a tournament at Paris 19 August 1186) [see ENGLAND 4.v], and daughter and heiress of Conan IV le Petit, Duke of Brittany, Earl of Richmond, by Margaret, daughter of Henry of Scotland, Earl of Northumberland [see BRITTANY 5 for her ancestry]. She was born about 1162. They had no issue. In 1194 he was commander of the forces for King Richard I. He took part in the second Coronation of King Richard I, which was solemnised in Winchester Cathedral 17 April 1194. In 1196 Ranulph captured his wife, Constance, en route to her finalizing negotiations with King Richard I and confined her at Benvron for at least a year. Soon after her release, she sought the annulment of their marriage, which was granted in 1199, presumably on grounds on consanguinity; she subsequently married (3rd) before October 1199 (as his 1st wife) GUY DE THOUARS, in right of his 1st wife, Count (or Duke) of Brittany, Earl of Richmond [see BRITTANY 6]. Constance died testate at Nantes 4 (or 5) Sept. 1201. Ranulph married (2nd) before 7 October 1200 CLEMENCE DE FOUGERES, widow of Main de Vitre (or Dinan) (died 1198), seigneur of Dinan, and daughter of Guillaume de Fougères, seigneur of Fougères, by Agatha, daughter of Guillaume du Hommet, Constable of Normandy [see FOUGERES 5 for her ancestry]. Her maritagium included land in the valley of Mortain. They had no issue. He was engaged in warfare with the Welsh from 1209 to 1214. He was faithful to King John against the rebellious Barons. He was one of the executors of King John who died 19 October 1216; and one of most zealous supporters of the young king, Henry III. In 1217, as Joint Commander of the royal army, he contributed to the defeat of the rebels under the Count of Perche. He was created Earl of Lincoln 23 May 1217. He went on crusade to the Holy Land in May 1218, and distinguished himself at the Siege of Damietta. He returned to England in August 1220. In 1223 he was required to surrender his castles. In 1229 he opposed in Parliament the grant of a tenth to the Pope, and forbade its collection in his own domain. In 1229 Earl Ranulph granted tithes in Wilsford, Wiltshire, formerly held of the Earl of Lincoln, to Roger, Succentor of Salisbury. He served as Chief Commander of the royal troops in Brittany, 1230-1, and in June 1231 was a Joint Commissioner to treat with France. Sometime between April 1231 and his death, he resigned the earldom of Lincoln to his sister, Hawise de Quincy. RANULPH, Earl of Chester, died at Wallingford 28 October 1232, and was buried at St. Werburg's, Chester, his heart being interred at Dieulacres Abbey. His widow, Clemence, died in 1252. Sandford Gen.

Children of Mabel of Chester, by William d'Aubeney:
i. HUGH D'AUBENEY, Knt., 5th Earl of Arundel, Chief Butler of England, 2nd son of William d'Aubeney, 3rd Earl of Arundel, by Mabel, 2nd daughter of Hugh, Earl of Chester. He was born about 1214 (of age in 1235). He was heir in 1224 to his older brother, William d'Aubeney, 4th Earl of Arundel. He was co-heir in 1232 to his uncle, Ranulph, Earl of Chester and Lincoln. In 1233 he made fine with the king by 2500 marks to have the lands of his late brother, William d'Aubeney, Earl of Arundel, until his legal age, as well as the lands which fell to Hugh by hereditary right of the lands formerly of his uncle, Ranulph, Earl of Chester and Lincoln. He married in 1234 ISABEL DE WARENNE, daughter of William de Warenne, Knt., 6th Earl of Surrey, Warden of the Cinque Ports, by Maud, daughter of William Marshal, Knt, 4th Earl of Pembroke (or Striguil), hereditary Master Marshal [see WARENNE 8 for her ancestry]. They had no issue. In 1240 he was summoned to restore the manor of Whaddon, Buckinghamshire to the king as an escheat of the Normans. Hugh stated that he, his brother, and his father had all been given livery of the lands, but, though he quoted the terms of the original grant made to his father in 1207, Whaddon was surrendered to the king. In 1242 he accompanied the King in his expedition to Guienne. SIR HUGH D'AUBENEY, Earl of Arundel, died 7 May 1243, and was buried at Wymondham Priory, Norfolk. In 1244 his widow, Countess Isabel, sued Robert de Sheney for the third part of one carucate of land in Smisby, Derbyshire, and Ralph de Kenninghall for the third part of nine acres of land and one acre pf pasture in Kenninghall, Norfolk, and the one third part of 14 acres of land in Riddlesworth, Norfolk. The same year she also sued Thomas le Treys for the third part of one carucate of land in Atdeborough, Norfolk, William de Oddingseles for the third part of one-half carucate of land in Leeds, Yorkshire, Roger de Somery and Nichole his wife for the third part of two carucates of land in Chipping Campden, Gloucestershire, and one third part of one carucate of land in Great Tew, Oxfordshire, and Hugh le Bigod for the one third part of one carucate of land in Stoughton, Sussex. In 1249 Countess Isabel founded the Abbey of Marham, Norfolk. She presented to the church of Shenley, Buckinghamshire in 1272. In 1271 Roger de Somery was engaged in a lengthy lawsuit with her regarding the advowson of the church of Olney, Buckinghamshire; in 1273 it was noted that the patronage of the church was to remain with Roger by a concord between him and Countess Isabel. In 1277-8 Master John de Croft arraigned an assize of novel disseisin against her and others touching a tenement in Bilsham, Sussex. In 1278-9 Nigel le Got arraigned an assize of novel disseisin against her and others touching a tenement in Wymondham, Norfolk. Isabel, Countess of Arundel, died shortly before 23 Nov. 1282, and was buried at Marham, Norfolk. Blomefield Essay towards a Top.

2. “Royal Ancestry: A Study in Colonial & Medieval Families,” Douglas Richardson (2013):
“HUGH, 6th Earl of Chester, hereditary Vicomte of Avranches in Normandy, seigneur of Saint Sever and Briquessart, son and heir, born about 1141 (of age in 1162). He is sometimes called Hugh of Cyfeiliog, because, according to a late writer, he was born in that district of Wales. According to the chronicler, John of Hexham, it was agreed at Carlisle in 1150 that a son of Ranulph, Earl of Chester, should marry one of the daughters of Henry, son of the king of Scotland. The son of Earl Ranulph was presumably his eldest son, Hugh. The projected marriage never took place. In the period, 1154-7, Earl Hugh and his mother, Countess Maud, gave Styvechale (south of Coventry) to Walter, Bishop of Chester, and his successors for the absolution of Hugh's father, Lord Earl Ranulph, and the redemption of his soul and that of his ancestors. Sometime in the period, 1155- 63, the king ordered Earl Hugh and his mother, Countess Maud, to give to the Abbot and monks of Gloucester the rents which Hugh's father, Earl Ranulph, gave them in the mills of Oldney and Tadwell. He was present in 1163 at Dover for King Henry II's renewal of the Flemish money fief, and also attended the Council of Clarendon in January 1164. Sometime in the period, 1166-87, he confirmed the former grant made to Saint-Etienne Abbey, Caen by Ranulph, Vicomte of Bayeux, his ancestor, of all the land the said Ranulph possessed at Bretteville-l'Orgueilleuse. He married in 1169 BERTRADE DE MONTFORT, daughter of Simon de Montfort, Count of Evreux, seigneur of Montfort-l'Amaury, by his wife, Maud. She was born about 1156 (aged 29 in 1185). They had one son, Ranulph, Knt. [Earl of Chester and Lincoln], and five daughters, Maud, Mabel, Agnes, Hawise, and (wife of Llywelyn ap Iorwerth, Prince of North Wales). By an unknown mistress (or mistresses), he also had two illegitimate sons, William (or Pain) (of Milton), and Roger, and one illegitimate daughter, Amice. Hugh joined the rebellion of King Henry II's sons in 1173. He was captured by King Henry II at Dol in August 1173. In 1174 he was deprived of his lands for rebellion. He was subsequently regranted his honours and lands at the Council of Northampton in 1177. In March 1178 he witnessed King Henry II's award in the dispute between Alfonso IX, King of Castile, and Sancho V, King of Navarre. During his lifetime, he granted some lands in the Wirral to the Abbey of St. Werburgh, Chester, and made other special gifts to Stanlow Priory, St Mary's, Coventry, and the nuns of Buffington and Greenfield priories. He also confirmed his mother's grants to her foundation of Augustinian canons at Calke, Derbyshire, and those of his father to his convent of the Benedictine nuns of St Mary's, Chester. In 1171 he confirmed the grants of his father to the Abbey of St. Stephen in the diocese of Bayeux. He likewise granted the church of Belchford, Lincolnshire to Trentham Priory, and the church of Combe, Gloucestershire to the Abbey of Bordesley, Warwickshire. HUGH, Earl of Chester, died at Leek, Staffordshire 30 June 1181, and was buried next to his father in the chapter house of St Werburgh's, Chester. Sometime in the period, 1188-99, his widow, Bertrade, witnessed a charter of her son, Ranulph, Earl of Chester. In the period, 1190-1200, she reached agreement with the abbot and convent of Troarn in Normandy regarding the construction of a mill and fishpond on the boundary between her wood and theirs. Sometime before 1194-1203, she exchanged lands with the canons of Repton. Sometime in the period, 1200-10, she granted to Ralph Carbonel, of Halton, Lincolnshire, for his homage and service a half a knight's fee which he held of the said countess in Halton. In 1223 Richard Duket and Simon de Sees brought a plea of novel disseisin against her touching a tenement in Harmston, Lincolnshire. In 1226 she presented to the church of Waddington, Lincolnshire. In 1227 she arraigned an assize of last presentation to the church of Waddington, Lincolnshire against the abbot of St. Sever. Bertrade, Countess of Chester, died in 1227, after 31 March.

Children of Hugh, Earl of Chester, by Bertrade de Montfort:
i. RANULPH, Knt., Earl of Chester, Vicomte of Avranches in Normandy, Judge in the King's Court, 1193, Constable of Sermilly Castle, 1201-4, Constable of the Tower of Avranches, 1203, Governor of the Peak Castle and Forest, 1215, Sheriff of Lancashire, 1216-22, Sheriff of Shropshire and Staffordshire, 1216,1217-23, Steward of the Town and Honour of Lancaster, 1216-23, Constable of Fotheringay Castle, 1221-2, Steward of the Honour of Leicester, 1222, and, in right of his 1st wife, Duke of Brittany, Earl of Richmond, son and heir, born at Oswestry in Powys c.1172. He was knighted by the king at Caen 1 Jan. 1187/8. He married (1st) 3 Feb. 1187/8 (or 1189) CONSTANCE OF BRITTANY [see BRITTANY 6], widow of Geoffrey of England, Duke of Brittany, Earl of Richmond (killed in a tournament at Paris 19 August 1186) [see ENGLAND 4.v], and daughter and heiress of Conan IV le Petit, Duke of Brittany, Earl of Richmond, by Margaret, daughter of Henry of Scotland, Earl of Northumberland [see BRITTANY 5 for her ancestry]. She was born about 1162. They had no issue. In 1194 he was commander of the forces for King Richard I. He took part in the second Coronation of King Richard I, which was solemnised in Winchester Cathedral 17 April 1194. In 1196 Ranulph captured his wife, Constance, en route to her finalizing negotiations with King Richard I and confined her at Benvron for at least a year. Soon after her release, she sought the annulment of their marriage, which was granted in 1199, presumably on grounds on consanguinity; she subsequently married (3rd) before October 1199 (as his 1st wife) GUY DE THOUARS, in right of his 1st wife, Count (or Duke) of Brittany, Earl of Richmond [see BRITTANY 6]. Constance died testate at Nantes 4 (or 5) Sept. 1201. Ranulph married (2nd) before 7 October 1200 CLEMENCE DE FOUGERES, widow of Main de Vitre (or Dinan) (died 1198), seigneur of Dinan, and daughter of Guillaume de Fougères, seigneur of Fougères, by Agatha, daughter of Guillaume du Hommet, Constable of Normandy [see FOUGERES 5 for her ancestry]. Her maritagium included land in the valley of Mortain. They had no issue. He was engaged in warfare with the Welsh from 1209 to 1214. He was faithful to King John against the rebellious Barons. He was one of the executors of King John who died 19 October 1216; and one of most zealous supporters of the young king, Henry III. In 1217, as Joint Commander of the royal army, he contributed to the defeat of the rebels under the Count of Perche. He was created Earl of Lincoln 23 May 1217. He went on crusade to the Holy Land in May 1218, and distinguished himself at the Siege of Damietta. He returned to England in August 1220. In 1223 he was required to surrender his castles. In 1229 he opposed in Parliament the grant of a tenth to the Pope, and forbade its collection in his own domain. In 1229 Earl Ranulph granted tithes in Wilsford, Wiltshire, formerly held of the Earl of Lincoln, to Roger, Succentor of Salisbury. He served as Chief Commander of the royal troops in Brittany, 1230-1, and in June 1231 was a Joint Commissioner to treat with France. Sometime between April 1231 and his death, he resigned the earldom of Lincoln to his sister, Hawise de Quincy. RANULPH, Earl of Chester, died at Wallingford 28 October 1232, and was buried at St. Werburg's, Chester, his heart being interred at Dieulacres Abbey. His widow, Clemence, died in 1252. Sandford Gen.

Children of Mabel of Chester, by William d'Aubeney:
i. HUGH D'AUBENEY, Knt., 5th Earl of Arundel, Chief Butler of England, 2nd son of William d'Aubeney, 3rd Earl of Arundel, by Mabel, 2nd daughter of Hugh, Earl of Chester. He was born about 1214 (of age in 1235). He was heir in 1224 to his older brother, William d'Aubeney, 4th Earl of Arundel. He was co-heir in 1232 to his uncle, Ranulph, Earl of Chester and Lincoln. In 1233 he made fine with the king by 2500 marks to have the lands of his late brother, William d'Aubeney, Earl of Arundel, until his legal age, as well as the lands which fell to Hugh by hereditary right of the lands formerly of his uncle, Ranulph, Earl of Chester and Lincoln. He married in 1234 ISABEL DE WARENNE, daughter of William de Warenne, Knt., 6th Earl of Surrey, Warden of the Cinque Ports, by Maud, daughter of William Marshal, Knt, 4th Earl of Pembroke (or Striguil), hereditary Master Marshal [see WARENNE 8 for her ancestry]. They had no issue. In 1240 he was summoned to restore the manor of Whaddon, Buckinghamshire to the king as an escheat of the Normans. Hugh stated that he, his brother, and his father had all been given livery of the lands, but, though he quoted the terms of the original grant made to his father in 1207, Whaddon was surrendered to the king. In 1242 he accompanied the King in his expedition to Guienne. SIR HUGH D'AUBENEY, Earl of Arundel, died 7 May 1243, and was buried at Wymondham Priory, Norfolk. In 1244 his widow, Countess Isabel, sued Robert de Sheney for the third part of one carucate of land in Smisby, Derbyshire, and Ralph de Kenninghall for the third part of nine acres of land and one acre pf pasture in Kenninghall, Norfolk, and the one third part of 14 acres of land in Riddlesworth, Norfolk. The same year she also sued Thomas le Treys for the third part of one carucate of land in Atdeborough, Norfolk, William de Oddingseles for the third part of one-half carucate of land in Leeds, Yorkshire, Roger de Somery and Nichole his wife for the third part of two carucates of land in Chipping Campden, Gloucestershire, and one third part of one carucate of land in Great Tew, Oxfordshire, and Hugh le Bigod for the one third part of one carucate of land in Stoughton, Sussex. In 1249 Countess Isabel founded the Abbey of Marham, Norfolk. She presented to the church of Shenley, Buckinghamshire in 1272. In 1271 Roger de Somery was engaged in a lengthy lawsuit with her regarding the advowson of the church of Olney, Buckinghamshire; in 1273 it was noted that the patronage of the church was to remain with Roger by a concord between him and Countess Isabel. In 1277-8 Master John de Croft arraigned an assize of novel disseisin against her and others touching a tenement in Bilsham, Sussex. In 1278-9 Nigel le Got arraigned an assize of novel disseisin against her and others touching a tenement in Wymondham, Norfolk. Isabel, Countess of Arundel, died shortly before 23 Nov. 1282, and was buried at Marham, Norfolk. Blomefield Essay towards a Top.

Children of Hugh le Bigod, by Maud Marshal:
i. ROGER LE BIGOD, Knt., 6th Earl of Norfolk, hereditary Steward of the Household, hereditary Warden of Romford Forest, Chief Justice Itinerant in cos. Essex and Hertford, 1234, Marshal of England, 1246 (in right of his mother), Warden of the Town and Castle of Tulac, 1249, Warden of the Coast of Norfolk and Suffolk, 1257, Privy Councillor, 1258, Joint Guardian of England, 1259, Constable of Colchester and Orford Castles, son and heir, born about 1209. He may have been the unnamed son of Hugh le Bigod who was held hostage by King John during the civil war of 1215-17, and whose capture perhaps occurred when Framlingham was surrendered to royalist forces in March 1216. He married at Alnwick, Northumberland 1 June 1225 ISABEL OF SCOTLAND, daughter of William the Lion, King of Scots, by Ermengarde, daughter of Richard de Beaumont, Vicomte of Beaumont [see SCOTLAND 4 for her ancestry]. They had no issue. While still under age, he entered into his inheritance in 1228. He was knighted by King Henry III at Gloucester in 1233. He unsuccessfully disputed Simon de Montfort's claim to the Stewardship at the Coronation of Queen Eleanor. In 1242 he served the king in the early part of the disastrous campaign in Poitou. In 1245 he was chief of the English delegation to the Council of Lyons, and chief of the plenipotentiarires to treat of peace between the Emperor and the Pope. The same year he repudiated his wife, nominally on the ground of consanguinity. He was compelled by ecclesiastical sentence to take her back in 1253. The king confirmed his mother's commission of the marshalcy to him in 1246. In 1253 he witnessed a sentence of excommunication and anathema against violators of the liberties of the church and of the realm. In 1254 he brought over the king's message to the Grand Council for a supply of money. In 1257 he was member of an abortive embassy to France to demand certain rights. In 1258 he served as one of the ambassadors to attend the conference at Cambray. His wife, Isabel, appears to have been living in Gloucestershire in October 1263. Her exact date of death is unknown, but she was buried in the Black Friars, London. In 1270 he wrote the king asking him to allow Roger, son of his brother Hugh, to be his attorney as Marshal. SIR ROGER LE BIGOD, 6th Earl of Norfolk, died 3 (or 4) July 1270, and was buried 10 July at Thetford, Norfolk. Clutterbuck Hist. & Antiqs. of Hertford 2 (1821): 510-511 (Marshal-Bigod ped.).

2. “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.

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.

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.

They had eight sons, Geoffrey, Peter, Knt., Walter, John (or Jean), Simon, Nicholas, Peter (2nd of name), and William, and two daughters, Joan and Katherine [Prioress of Aconbury]. 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.

In 1294 the liberty of Trim, which had been taken into the king's hands, was restored to him. This liberty was soon afterwards taken again into the king's hands for Geoffrey's contempt in not executing the king's mandate concerning Nicholas Bacun, a prisoner in the gaol of the liberty. 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.

4. “Royal Ancestry: A Study in Colonial & Medieval Families,” Douglas Richardson (2013):
“HENRY OF LANCASTER, Knt., 2nd son, lord of Monmouth and Threecastles, Steward of England, Constable of Abergavenny and Kenilworth Castles, 1326, Chief Guardian of the King, 1327, Captain-General in the Marches towards Scotland, 1327, Councillor of Regency, 1345, and, in right of his wife, of East Garston and North Standen (in Hungerford), Berkshire, Lillingstone Dansey, Buckinghamshire, Etloe Duchy (in Awre) and Kempsford, Gloucestershire, King's Somborne, Hampshire, Stoke Bruerne, Northamptonshire, and Kidwelly, Carmarthenshire, Ogmore, Glamorgan, Wales, etc., born at Grosmont Castle, Monmouthshire about 1281. He married after 30 Dec. 1291 (grant of her marriage) and before 2 March 1296/7 MAUD DE CHAWORTH, daughter and heiress of Patrick de Chaworth, Knt., of Kidwelly, Carmarthenshire, Wales, East Garston and North Standen (in Hungerford), Berkshire, Kempsford, Gloucestershire, King's Somborne, Hampshire, Stoke Bruerne, Northamptonshire, Berwick St. James and Standon Chaworth, Wiltshire, etc., by Isabel, daughter of William de Beauchamp, Knt., 9th Earl of Warwick [see CHAWORTH 7 for her ancestry]. She was born about 1282 (aged 1 in 1283). They had one son, Henry, KG. [Duke of Lancaster, Earl of Derby, Leicester, and Lincoln], and six daughters, Blanche, Maud, Eleanor, Mary, Joan, and Isabel. In 1297 he had livery of Monmouth and the lands of his father beyond Severn. He served in Flanders in 1297-8 and during the wars with the Scots. He fought at the Battle of Falkirk 22 July 1298. He was summoned to Parliament 6 Feb. 1298/9, by writ directed Henrico de Lancastre nepoti Regis and Henrico de Lancastre, whereby he is held to have become Lord Lancaster. He took part in the Siege of Caerlaverock in 1300. He signed the Barons' letter to Pope Boniface VIII in 1301 as D’n’s de Munemue [Lord of Monmouth]. In 1306 Henry and his wife, Maud, conveyed the manors of Alderton and Stoke Bruerne, Northamptonshire, together with the advowsons of both churches, to William de Combemartin and his heirs. In 1307 he was pardoned for aiding the escape of John le Harper from prison. He and his wife attended the Coronation of King Edward II in 1308, where he bore the sceptre with a dove on the top. In 1310 he was one of those who forced the King to agree to the appointment of the Lords Ordainers. In 1315-16 he joined the marcher lords in suppressing the rebellion of Llywelyn Bren. In 1316 Walter, Bishop of Exeter, was summoned to answer Henry and his wife, Maud, on a plea that he permit them to present a fit parson to the church of Broadhemsbury, Devonshire, which is vacant and belongs to their gift. In 1318 Henry was in France with the king's leave in order to obtain "the heritage" which descended to him on his brother John's death. His wife, Maud, was living 4 August 1320, but died testate before 3 Dec. 1322, and was buried at Mottisfont Priory, Hampshire. In 1320 he joined the confederacy of the Marchers against the Despensers. He was heir in 1322 to his older brother, Thomas of Lancaster, Earl of Lancaster, Leicester, and Derby. In 1323 he petitioned the King and Council for the earldoms of Lancaster and Leicester. He received a writ of livery of the earldom and honour of Leicester 29 March 1324, becoming thereby Earl of Leicester. On the queen's return to England with Roger de Mortimer in Sept. 1326, he joined her party against King Edward II, which led to a general desertion of the king's cause. He was present as Earl of Lancaster and Leicester in 1326 at a meeting at Bristol which appointed Prince Edward keeper of the realm during his father, the king's absence, the king having fled to Wales. Earl Henry afterwards captured the king at Neath and took him to Llantrisant, Glamorgan 16 Nov. 1326. He was appointed to take charge of the king, and was responsible for his custody at Kenilworth until 4 April 1327. He was present at the Coronation of King Edward III 1 Feb. 1326/7. In October 1328 he refused to attend the Parliament. He soon quarreled with Queen Isabel, and, in consequence, in Jan. 1328 the queen's forces spent a week ravaging his lands in the neighborhood of Leicester. He collected an armed force and marched northwards to meet Mortimer but was forced to submit, after which his lands were handed back to him. In 1329 he was going beyond seas to France with a large retinue. In Dec. 1329 he was joined with the Bishop of Norwich in the negotiations with King Philippe VI of France. In 1330 he had license to found a hospital for poor persons and pilgrims in his town of Leicester. Upon the fall of Roger de Mortimer, his close personal relations with the young king were renewed. In 1332 the king granted him 500 marks yearly for the better maintenance of his estate. The same year Earl Henry granted the manors of Wirksworth, Bouteshale, and Iretonwood, Derbyshire to William de Walkington for life. In 1335 he was with the king at Newcastle-on-Tyne, where the invasion of Scotland by King Edward III and Edward de Balliol was planned and carried out. In 1343 he was granted an indult for plenary remission at the hour of death. In July 1345 he was appointed to the Council of Prince Lionel, Keeper of England, during the king's absence. SIR HENRY OF LANCASTER, Earl of Lancaster and Leicester, Lord of Monmouth, died 22 Sept. 1345, and was buried with great state on the north side of the high altar of Newark Abbey, Leicester, Leicestershire. He left a will dated 8 Sept. 1345, proved 15 Feb. 1345/6 (Lincoln Episc. Reg., 104 Beck).

“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.

They had one son, George, Knt., and two daughters, Milicent and Joan. Eve was co-heiress in 1230 to her father, by which she inherited a 1/4th share of a 1/3rd share of the barony of Miles of Gloucester. She was also co-heiress in 1233 to her great-uncle, William Briwerre, Knt. He went on the military expedition to Gascony in 1242-3. He was granted an annual fee of £50 at the exchequer in 1243. He received frequent gifts of deer and timber from the royal forests. He came into fierce conflict with John of Monmouth between 1248 and 1253 over Penrhos Castle. On 3 March 1250/1 he did homage for all lands and tenements which his father held from the king in chief. In June 1253 he gave the advowson of the church of Aston Cantlow, Warwickshire to Studley Priory, Warwickshire to maintain hospitality and a hostel for the poor outside the priory gate. In 1253-4 he served again with the king in Gascony, emerging as one of the king's most important courtiers. He was still with the king in mid-July 1254, but must have returned to England soon afterwards. SIR WILLIAM DE CANTELOWE died testate 25 September 1254, and was buried at Studley Priory, Warwickshire. He left a substantial sum of money in his will to redeem his unfulfilled crusading vow.

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

Children of William Marshal, Knt., by Isabel de Clare:
i. WILLIAM MARSHAL, Knt., 5th Earl of Pembroke, hereditary Master Marshal, hereditary Steward of Leinster, of Hampstead Marshall, Berkshire, Silchester, Hampshire, Hinxworth, Hertfordshire, Great Bedwyn, Wexcombe (in Great Bedwyn), and Wootton Rivers, Wiltshire, etc., joint Warden of Bamborough Castle, 1212, Constable (or Keeper) of Caerleon, Carmarthen, Cardigan, Ludgarshall, and Marlborough Castles, Receiver of the Exchange of all of England, 1217-21, Justiciar of Ireland, 1224-6, son and heir, born about 1190, in Normandy. In 1205 his father gave him to King John as a hostage for his loyalty; he was released in 1212. He married (1st) in 1214 ALICE DE BETHUNE, daughter of Baldwin de Bethune, Count of Aumale, by Hawise, daughter of William, Count of Aumale. They had no issue. Her dowry included the manor of Wantage, Berkshire. He joined the baronial opposition, and in Feb. 1214/5 he was present at the meeting of the barons at Stamford. In June he was elected one of the 25 Barons to ensure the execution of the provisions of Magna Carta. He was subsequently excommunicated by the Pope 11 Dec. 1215. His wife, Alice, was living Sept. 1215. She died probably about 1216, and was buried in St. Paul's Cathedral, London. In the period, 1215-19, he confirmed the legacy left by his former wife, Alice de Bethun, of 100s. from her manor of Luton, Bedfordshire to the dean and chapter of St. Paul's, London for the foundation of a chantry in the church of St. Paul's. In the same period, he also gave a rent of 20s. from his mill at Brache (in Luton), Bedfordshire to the church of St. Paul, London for the celebration of the obit of his wife, and for a light for her tomb. In April 1216 he had letters of safe conduct to go to his father. In May 1216 he was one of the Barons who joined Louis of France and did homage to him. In July 1216 he seized Worcester for Louis, but retreated when the Earl of Chester approached. In the autumn he deserted Louis and retired to Wales. In March 1216/7 he joined William Longespée, Earl of Salisbury in a revolt at Rye against Louis, who was only saved by the arrival of a French fleet. With Salisbury he besieged and took the Castles of Winchester and Southampton, after which he besieged and captured Marlborough Castle. He fought at the Battle of Lincoln 20 May 1217. In May 1219 he succeeded his father in the Earldom and estates, but he ceded the Norman lands to his brother Richard 20 May 1220. In 1223 he sailed from Ireland with a large force to fight the Welsh, recaputured his castles, defeated Llywelyn and compelled him to come to terms. He married (2nd) by betrothal dated 23 April 1224 ELEANOR OF ENGLAND, daughter of John, King of England, by his 2nd wife, Isabel, daughter and heiress of Ademar (or Aimar) III Taillefer, Count of Angoulême [see ENGLAND 5 for her ancestry]. She was born at Gloucester in 1215. Her maritagium included the manors of Brabourne and Sutton, Kent. They had no issue. In 1224 he wrote Hubert de Burgh the justiciar requesting justice for John Marshal his kinsman. Sometime before 1224 he enfeoffed Fulk Fitz Warin with the manor of Wantage, Berkshire. He was appointed one of the executors in the 1225 will of William Longespée, Earl of Salisbury. He was appointed joint Ambassador to France in 1225 and joint Ambassador to the German Congress at Antwerp in 1227. 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, except the capital messuage. In 1230 he accompanied the king on his fruitless march to Bordeaux. He founded the house of Friars Preachers at Kilkenny, and was a benefactor to the abbeys of Tintern and Mottisfont, the priory of Inistioge, St. Paul's Cathedral, and the hospital of St. Mary Rounceval. SIR WILLIAM MARSHALL, 5th Earl of Pembroke, died 6 April 1231, and was buried 15 April 1231 in the Temple Church, London. His widow, Eleanor, married (2nd) in the King's chapel at Westminster 7 Jan. 1237/8 SIMON DE MONTFORT, Knt., Earl of Leicester, High Steward of England, Governor of Gascony [see LEICESTER 10], 3rd son of Simon de Montfort, Earl of Leicester, seigneur of Montfort, by Alice, daughter of Bouchard de Montmorency, seigneur of Montmorency, Conflans-Sainte-Honorine, Heronville, and Ecouen. He was born about 1208. They had five sons, Henry, Knt., Simon, Knt., Amaury (clerk), Guy [Count of Nola], and Richard, and two daughters, including Eleanor (wife of Llywelyn ap Gruffudd, Prince of Wales, lord of Snowdon). In 1229 his older brother, Amaury de Montfort, surrendered to him all their father's inheritance in England. In August 1231 King Henry III restored him in his father's lands in England. In 1236 he served as High Steward at Queen Eleanor's coronation. In 1240 he embarked on a Crusade to the Holy Land and returned to Europe in Spring 1242. He took part in King Henry III's unsuccessful expedition to Poitou in 1242. In 1253 he and his wife, Eleanor, were granted Kenilworth castle, Warwickshire, and the manor of Odiham, Hampshire for life. In 1254 he was sent to Scotland on a secret mission for the king. In 1263 Parliament denounced the king as "false to his oath" and declared war on all violators of the "Provisions." In July 1263 Earl Simon and the barons entered London, where he made the king ratify his concessions. In 1264 a decisive battle was fought at Lewes, where the King and his son Edward were captured. Simon subsequently carried on the government under the King's name and seal, including the summoning of a Parliament in London in Jan. 1265. SIR SIMON DE MONTFORT, Earl of Leicester, was slain at the Battle of Evesham 4 August 1265, and was buried at Evesham Abbey. His tomb at Evesham at once became a shrine at which miracles were wrought. He left a will dated 1 Jan. 1259. His widow, Eleanor, went into exile about Nov. 1265. She retired to the convent of the sisters of Saint-Dominique near Montargis in France, where she died testate 13 April 1275.

ii. RICHARD MARSHAL, Knt., 6th Earl of Pembroke, hereditary Master Marshal, of Hampstead Marshall, Berkshire, Silchester, Hampshire, Hinxworth, Hertfordshire, etc., seigneur of Longueville and Orbec in Normandy, and, in right of his wife, seigneur of Dinan in Brittany, 2nd son, born after 1090 [sic 1190?]. In 1220 his older brother, William ceded all his Norman lands to him. He married in 1222 GERVAISE DE DINAN, widow of Juhel II de Mayenne, seigneur of Mayenne and Dinan (died 2 or 4 May 1220) [see BOHUN 4.iii], and Geoffroi I, Vicomte of Rohan (died 25 Sept. 1221), and daughter of Alain de Dinan (or Vitré). They had no issue. In 1225 he was present at a meeting of Breton nobles in Nantes. In 1226 he and his wife, Gervaise, were granted a weekly market at Ringwood, Hampshire, to be held at the manor until the king came of age. In 1232 the Pope ordered the Bishop of Lisieux to ascertain what degree of affinity existed between Richard and his wife, Gervaise, and to report to the Pope. In 1233 he led the Barons in appealing to the king to dismiss his foreign advisors. In 1233 he was proclaimed a traitor and the office of Marshal was declared to be forfeited. He made an alliance with Llywelyn, and for some months successfully carried on warfare against the royal forces. In 1234 he proceeded to Ireland, where he took Limerick and recovered some of his castles. An abortive conference with the rebels at the Carragh of Kildare on 1 April was followed by a battle, in which he was wounded and captured. While recovering from his wounds, he was practically murdered by a treacherous surgeon. SIR RICHARD MARSHAL, Earl of Pembroke, died at Kilkenny Castle, co. Kilkenny, Ireland 16 April 1234, and was buried in the Church of the Franciscans at Kilkenny 17 April 1234. He was a benefactor to the abbeys of Dunbrothy, St. Aubin des Bois, and Savigny, and he confirmed the possessions of Beaulieu Abbey. His widow, Gervaise, founded a chantry in Saint-Aubin-des-Bois Abbey 22 December 1236. She was also a benefactor of Lehon Priory. Gervaise, Countess of Pembroke, died testate sometime before June 1248. Dugdale Monasticon Anglicanum 5 (1825): 266 (Obit. of Tintern Abbey: "Richardus comes marescallus obiit die xv.

iii. GILBERT MARSHAL, Knt., 7th Earl of Pembroke, hereditary Master Marshal, of Hampstead Marshall, Berkshire, Silchester, Hampshire, Hinxworth, Hertfordshire, etc., 3rd son. He was originally intended for the Church. He took minor orders and from 1225 held benefices. In 1229 he went to the Holy Land. He supported his older brother, Richard Marshal, and acted for him in Ireland. He was heir in 1234 to his brother, Richard Marshal, Knt., Earl of Pembroke. The king knighted him at Winchester 11 June 1234, and invested him with the Earldom of Pembroke and the office of Marshal. In Dec. 1234 he was granted the honor of Laigle, Sussex, together with Pevensey Castle. He married at Berwick 1 August 1235 MARGERY (or MARGARET) OF SCOTLAND, daughter of William the Lion, King of Scots, Earl of Northumberland, by Ermengarde, daughter of Richard de Beaumont, Vicomte of Beaumont-en-Maine [see SCOTLAND 4 for her ancestry]. He received with her a large dowry in Scotland, with 10,000 marks and more. They had no issue. By an unknown mistress, he had one illegitimate daughter, Isabel (contracted to marry Rhys ap Maelgwn Vychan [died 1255]). In 1235 he was granted the honors of Glamorgan and Carmarthen. He officiated as Marshal at the Coronation of Queen Eleanor in 1236. In 1238 he supported his brother-in-law, Richard, Earl of Cornwall, against the king's foreign favorites. Sometime after 1234 he enfeoffed Godfrey de Crowcombe and Ralph Fitz Nicholas in his manor of Compton Bassett, Wiltshire, in return for nominal services of spurs and gloves. SIR GILBERT MARSHAL, Earl of Pembroke, died at Hertford Priory 27 June 1241 of injuries received at a tournament, and was buried in the new Temple Church, London beside his father and brother. He was a benefactor to the monastery of St. Mary de Gloria in the diocese of Anagni, to the abbeys of Nutley and Tintern, and to the lepers' hospital of St. Mary Magdalene of Little Haverford. His widow, Margery, Countess of Pembroke, died 17 Nov. 1244, and was buried in the church of the Black Friars, London.

iv. WALTER MARSHAL, Knt., 8th Earl of Pembroke, hereditary Master Marshal, hereditary Steward of Leinster, of Hampstead Marshall, Berkshire, Bere and Sturminster, Dorset, Silchester, Hampshire, Himtworth, Hertfordshire, Goodrich Castle, Herefordshire, Box, Great Bedwyn, Wexcombe (in Great Bedwyn), and Wootton Rivers, Wiltshire, etc., seigneur of Orbec and Longueville in Normandy, and, in right of his wife, Earl of Lincoln, 4th son. His father in his lifetime gave him Sturminster, Dorset. His father or his brother gave him Goodrich Castle, Herefordshire and Bere, Dorset. In 1233 he supported his brother, Richard, against the king's foreign favorites and his lands were forfeited. In 1234 he was in Ireland with his brother Richard, who sent him away before the fatal Battle of Kildare, lest his family should be extirpated. He passed over to Wales with his brothers and was pardoned with them. In 1239 he was alienated from King Henry III, by the king's hostility to his brother, Gilbert Marshal. In 1240 he was sent into Wales with a large army to strengthen Cardigan Castle, and he took for his brother Gilbert lands appurtenant to the honour of Carmarthen. In June 1241 he took part in the tournament at which Gilbert Marshal was mortally wounded. The king at first refused to invest Walter in the Earldom of Pembroke as Gilbert's heir, because he had forbidden the tournament, but on 27 October the king relented and invested Walter with both the earldom and office of Marshal. He married 6 Jan. 1241/2 MARGARET (or MARGERY) DE QUINCY, widow of John de Lacy (or Lascy) (also known as John of Chester), Knt., Earl of Lincoln, hereditary Constable of Chester (died 22 July 1240) [see LACY 3], and daughter and heiress of Robert de Quincy, by Hawise, sue jure Countess of Lincoln, daughter of Hugh, Earl of Chester [see QUINCY 6.i for her ancestry]. She was born before 1217. They had no issue. He served as a captain in the king's army in Gascony and Poitou in 1242. In 1243 he surrendered his wife's castle of Bolingbroke, Lincolnshire and her mother's lands in Lincolnshire, which estates were subsequently restored to him and his wife, Margaret. In 1244 he was one of the laymen who was elected to consider the king's demand for a subsidy. He presented to the church of West Halton, Lincolnshire in 1242, and to a mediety of the church of Toynton St. Peter, Lincolnshire in 1245. SIR WALTER MARSHAL, Earl of Pembroke, died at Goodrich Castle, Herefordshire 24 Nov. 1245, and was buried at Tintern Abbey, Monmouthshire. By judgments of the King's court, his widow, Margaret, recovered dower out of lands in Ireland held by Walter Marshal, and she received seisin of one-third of all of the Earl's lands and tenements in Ireland. In 1252 his widow, Margaret, and Richard de Wiltshire were granted a yearly fair at the manor of Chelbury, Lincolnshire. In 1262 an action of recaption was brought against Margaret, Countess of Lincoln, Joce de Stepping [her steward], and John de Lusby. In 1263 the king promised that her executors should have free administration of her goods. In the period, 1263-6, Master Walter of Stainsby filed a writ of attachment against Joce de Stepping, Steward of Margaret, Countess of Lincoln, which required Joce to answer for having distrained Master Walter to perform suit at the court of Lusby contrary to law. Margaret, Countess of Lincoln and Pembroke, died at Hampstead, Middlesex shortly before 30 March 1266, and was buried near her father in the Church of the Hospitallers, Clerkenwell, Middlesex, Baker Hist. & Antiqs. of Northampton 1 (1822-30): 563 (Beaumont-Quincy ped.).

“WILLIAM DE CANTELOWE, Knt., of Eaton Bray, Bedfordshire, Ellesborough, Buckinghamshire, Barby and Lubbesthrope, Leicestershire, Aston Cantlow and Studley, Warwickshire, Caine, Wiltshire, etc., Constable of Builth Castle, 1254, and, in right of his wife, of Abergavenny, Monmouthshire, Totnes, Devon, etc., son and heir. He married before July 1241 EVE DE BREWES (or BREUSE), daughter of William de Brewes, Knt., of Totnes, Devon, Kingston, Herefordshire, Abergavenny, Monmouthshire, etc., by Eve, daughter of William Marshal, Knt., Earl of Pembroke, hereditary Master Marshal [see BRIWERRE 5 for her ancestry]. They had one son, George, Knt., and two daughters, Milicent and Joan. Eve was co-heiress in 1230 to her father, by which she inherited a 1/4th share of a 1/3rd share of the barony of Miles of Gloucester. She was also co-heiress in 1233 to her great-uncle, William Briwerre, Knt. He went on the military expedition to Gascony in 1242-3. He was granted an annual fee of £50 at the exchequer in 1243. He received frequent gifts of deer and timber from the royal forests. He came into fierce conflict with John of Monmouth between 1248 and 1253 over Penrhos Castle. On 3 March 1250/1 he did homage for all lands and tenements which his father held from the king in chief. In June 1253 he gave the advowson of the church of Aston Cantlow, Warwickshire to Studley Priory, Warwickshire to maintain hospitality and a hostel for the poor outside the priory gate. In 1253-4 he served again with the king in Gascony, emerging as one of the king's most important courtiers. He was still with the king in mid-July 1254, but must have returned to England soon afterwards. SIR WILLIAM DE CANTELOWE died testate 25 September 1254, and was buried at Studley Priory, Warwickshire. He left a substantial sum of money in his will to redeem his unfulfilled crusading vow. His widow, Eve, died about 20 July 1255.

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

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

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

He was elected Bishop of Hereford 15 June 1275, and was consecrated by Archbishop Kilwardby 8 September 1275. THOMAS DE CANTELOWE, Bishop of Hereford, died at Castrum Florenti (Ferento, now in ruins) 25 August 1282. He left a will dated 18 August 1282. His flesh and viscera were buried at the monastery of San Severo outside Orvieto. His bones were returned to England and placed under a slab in the east end of Hereford Cathedral, where they remained until moved into a table tomb in the north transept in 1287. His successor Richard Swinfield (died 1317) became a tireless promoter of Cantelowe's canonization. Between 1287 and 1312 nearly 500 miracles were recorded as evidence of his sanctity, a figure surpassed in the surviving records of medieval England only by the 700 attributed to Thomas Becket. Swinfield's attempts to secure the canonization of his predecessor had little immediate success, though after an inquisition authorized by Clement V found that Cantelowe had died in communion with the church, the pope ordered an investigation of his life and miracles, which took place in London and Hereford. Both inquisitorial processes occurred in 1307. Continued support for the bishop's cause, by Kings Edward I and Edward II and by many other secular and ecclesiastical magnates, resulted in his canonization 17 April 1320. A new shrine was constructed in the east end of the cathedral. On 25 October 1349, in the presence of King Edward III and many other lay and clerical notables, his bones were translated from the north transept to this new location. There the remains lay undisturbed until 1538, when, along with much else that represented papal authority in England, the shrine, its ornaments, and its contents were removed.

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

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

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

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

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

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

He married (1st) before July 1215 or 1216 (date of pardon) MILICENT DE GOURNAY, Countess of Evreux, widow of Amaury de Montfort, Count of Evreux in Normandy, Earl of Gloucester in England (died before November 1213), and daughter of Hugh (or Hugues) de Gournay (died 1214), seigneur of Gournay-en-Brie, and of Wendover, Buckinghamshire, Houghton, Bedfordshire, Caister and Cantley, Norfolk, Mapledurham, Oxfordshire, etc, by Juliane, daughter of Aubrey II, Count of Dammartin [see GOURNAY 4 for her ancestry]. They had five sons, William, Knt., [Master] Thomas [Bishop of Hereford, Chancellor of England, Chancellor of Oxford University], [Master] Hugh [Archdeacon of Gloucester], John, and Nicholas, and two daughters, Agnes and Juliane. Like his father, he was named by Roger of Wendover as one of King John's "evil counselors." In 1217 Gilbert de Clare, Earl of Gloucester, granted William's wife, Milicent, the manors of Marlow, Buckinghamshire and Burford, Oxfordshire, together with the life grant of the viii of Hambleden, Buckinghamshire in satisfaction of Milicent's claims to dower in the lands of her former husband, Amaury de Evreux. In 1217 William was at the Siege of Mountsorrel and at the Battle of Lincoln. By the mid-1220s he was a follower of Ranulph, Earl of Chester, and witnessed many of his charters. He participated in Earl Ranulph's armed demonstration at the Tower of London in 1223, but then submitted with the earl. He presented to the churches of Bulwick, Northamptonshire, 1226 and 1247, and Barby, Northamptonshire, 1230. He obtained a confirmation of the manor of Aston Cantlow, Warwickshire in 1227 and again in 1231. He joined Chester on the king's expedition to Brittany in 1230. He married (2nd) after Michaelmas 1233 (date of lawsuit) MAUD FITZ GEOFFREY, widow of Henry d'Oilly (died 1232), of Hook Norton, Kidlington, and Little Minster (in Minster Lovell), Oxfordshire, and daughter of Geoffrey Fitz Peter, Knt., Earl of Essex, by his 2nd wife, Aveline, daughter of Roger de Clare, Earl of Hertford [see ESSEX 2 for her ancestry]. They had no issue. Sometime in the period, 1227-36, Maud had the manor of Gussage St. Michael, Dorset by gift from her half-sister, Maud de Mandeville, Countess of Essex and Hereford. In 1234 he served as one of the executors of the will of Ranulph, Earl of Chester. In 1236 he went on pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela. In 1237 the king granted him the manors of Great Bowden and Market Harborough, Leicestershire for life. In 1241 he was one of the English arbitrators with Dafydd of Gwynedd. He was appointed one of the guardians of the realm during the king's expedition to Poitou in 1242. In 1242 William son of William Marmion sued him. In 1242-3 he presented to the church of Coningsby, Lincolnshire, in right of his ward, Philip Marmion. In 1244 Peter de Freney conveyed the manor of Clipsharn, Rutland to him. In 1244-5 William de Cantelowe, senior, levied a fine by which William de Haket was bound not to sell, injure, waste, or spoil any part of the manor of Little Merston (in West Camel), Somerset, as it was only his or life, and afterwards should go to the said William de Cantelowe. He was one of the proctors of the English baronage at the Council of Lyons in 1245, delivering a lengthy complaint against Roman exactions.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

In 1184 he accounted for the farm of Kinver before the itinerant justices in Oxfordshire. He married (1st) before 25 Jan. 1184/5 BEATRICE DE SAY, daughter and co-heiress of William de Say, of Kimbolton, Huntingdonshire, and Saham, Norfolk [see SAY 4.i for her ancestry].

In 1186-7 King Henry II granted him the manor of Cherhill, Wiltshire, to hold in fee and inheritance by the service of one knight, as his father Peter or his brother Robert held it. In the period, 1186-89, he and his two half-brothers, William and Hugh de Buckland, witnessed a charter of William, Earl of Ferrers, to Ralph Fitz Stephen. In the period, c.1189-99, he founded Shouldham Abbey, Norfolk, to which he gave the manor and the advowson of the church of Shouldham, Norfolk, together with the churches of Shouldham Thorpe, Stoke Ferry, and Wereham, Norfolk. In 1190 he obtained the lands to which his wife's grandmother, Beatrice, had become heir on the death of her nephew, William de Mandeville, Earl of Essex. From Easter 1190 he received the third penny of the county of Essex. Sometime in the period, 1190-1213, Sibyl de Fiennes, daughter of Pharamus of Boulogne, conveyed to him 300 acres on Hyngeshill [?in Quarrendon, Buckinghamshire] at an annual rent of an unmewed sparrowhawk, or 12d.

About 1195 he and his half-brothers, William and Geoffrey de Buckland, witnessed a charter of Geoffrey Fitz Nigel de Gardino to William de Ultra la Haia. In 1195 he owed £4 4s. in the vill of Lydford, Devon for making the market of the king there. His wife, Beatrice, died in childbed before 19 April 1197. Her body was initially buried in Chicksands Priory, Bedfordshire, but later transferred to Shouldham Priory, Norfolk. In 1198 Eustace de Balliol and his wife, Pernel (widow of Geoffrey's brother Robert), quitclaimed all their right to lands in Salthrop (in Wroughton), Wiltshire to Geoffrey, in return for 30 marks silver. He was present at the Coronation of King John 27 May 1199, where he was girded with the sword of earl. In the period, 1199-1216, Geoffrey gave Shouldham Priory, Norfolk twelve shops, with the rooms over them, in the parish of St. Mary's Colechurch, London, for the purpose of sustaining the lights of the church and of providing the sacramental wine. 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. He was granted a weekly market and yearly fair at Amersham, Buckinghamshire and Kimbolton, Huntingdonshire in 1200.

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. Geoffrey married (2nd) before 29 May 1205 (date of grant) AVELINE DE CLARE, widow of William de Munchensy, of Swanscombe, Kent, Winfarthing and Gooderstone, Norfolk, etc. (died shortly before 7 May 1204) [see CLARE 4.ii], and daughter of Roger de Clare, Earl of Clare or Hertford, by Maud, daughter and heiress of James de Saint Hilary [see CLARE 4 for her ancestry].

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

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

2. “Royal Ancestry: A Study in Colonial & Medieval Families,” Douglas Richardson (2013):
“WILLIAM DE CANTELOWE, Knt., of Leigh, Dorset, Ellesborough and Mentmore, Buckinghamshire, Meole Brace, Shropshire, Barcheston and Studley, Warwickshire, Caine, Wiltshire, etc., Steward of the Household of John, Count of Mortain, 1198, Sheriff of Worcestershire, 1200-15, Sheriff of Warwickshire and Leicestershire, 1201-4, 1209-23, itinerant Justice in Staffordshire, 1203, Sheriff of Herefordshire, 1204-5, Steward of the King's Household, 1204-22, a Norman by birth. He married MASCELINE (or MAZRA) DE BRACY (or BRASCY, BRACI), daughter of Audulf de Bracy, of Meole Brace, Shropshire, Eaton Bray, Bedfordshire, Mentmore, Buckinghamshire, etc. They had four sons, William, Knt., Robert, Walter [Bishop of Worcester], and Matthew [Rector of Ribston, Yorkshire and Alvechurch, Worcestershire], and one daughter, (wife of Thurstan de Montfort). He witnessed two acts of King John while John was still an earl in 1198. The first was dated 12 July 1198 when William was styled 'tune senescallus;' the second was dated 4 Dec. 1198, just a few months before King Richard's death. William became one of the king's stewards of the household with Peter de Stokes and Robert de Thornham. In 1203 the king granted him lands in Great Bowden and Market Harborough, Leicestershire to hold during pleasure; William in turn entrusted the manors to his brother, Roger Orget. He took part in the ineffectual expedition to Poitou in 1205. The same year he was granted the manor of Eaton Bray, Bedfordshire, in exchange for 300 marks and the manor of Cockeswall; Eaton Bray subsequently became the head of the Cantelowe barony. In 1208 he was granted custody of the see of Worcester, and was a justice in Nottinghamshire. In 1209 he settled a dispute which he had with the Prior of Dunstaple regarding 50 acres in Shortgrave, Bedfordshire; he quitclaimed the said 50 acres to the Prior, as well as 20 acres in Eaton, Bedfordshire, which was part of the land which the Prior claimed by virtue of a grant made by Audulf de Bracy, father of Masceline, wife of William. He and William Briwerre supervised elections to the vacant sees of York and Carlisle in 1214. Wendover's description of him as one of John's "evil counselors" probably owes much to his role as a gaoler of baronial hostages. Wendover also suggests that Cantelowe may have wavered in his loyalty after the rebel seizure of London in 1215, but this is belied by the stream of royal writs sent to him in 1215-16. In 1215 he also witnessed the royal declaration of free election to sees and abbeys. He took the side of the king in his war with the barons. In 1215-16 he was granted a number of manors belonging to rebels, and was commissioned to treat with those who might return into the king's peace. In 1216 he was granted letters of presentation to the advowson of the church of Preston, Warwickshire, the gift belonging to the king because the land of Thurstan de Montfort was in his hand. In 1217 he was at the Siege of Mountsorrel and at the Battle of Lincoln. He presented to the churches of Ridlington, Rutland, 1217, 1218, 1221, and Hinxworth, Hertfordshire, 1218. In 1218 he witnessed the treaty of Worcester with Llywelyn ap Iorwerth, and was an itinerant justice in Bedfordshire. The same year the Sheriff was ordered to inform the king why he had disseised William of seven hides of land in Eaton. In 1219 he was a commissioner investigating encroachments on the royal forests in Oxfordshire, Buckinghamshire, and Herefordshire. His wife, Masceline, seems to have been living in 1220. Sometime before 1223, he appears to have acquired some of William Mattel's lands at Totternhoe, Bedfordshire. In 1223 he joined the armed demonstration of Ranulph, Earl of Chester at the Tower against the government of Hubert de Burgh; he submitted at Northampton on 30 December. He joined the royal Siege of Bedford in the summer of 1224. In 1225 he was allowed £1084 at the exchequer for war expenses under King John; this cancelled a list of debts that included increments due on county farms, scutages, and the fine for the custody of the lands and heir of Robert Chandos. As "William de Cantelowe, senior," he presented his son, [Master] Walter de Cantelowe, to the church of Bulwick, Northamptonshire in 1227. He obtained a confirmation of the manor of Aston Cantlow, Warwickshire in 1227 and 1231. In 1227 Richard Fitz William was called to warranty by William de Cantelowe for a third part of the manor of Ellesborough, Buckinghamshire, which Geva Basset, widow of the said Richard's uncle, also named Richard Fitz William, claimed in dower. He served in Wales in 1228, Brittany in 1230, and Wales again in 1231. In 1229, following the death of his brother, Roger Orget, the king re-granted him the manors of Great Bowden and Market Harborough, Leicestershire. In 1230 he received confirmation from the crown of the vill, market, and manor of Bingley, Yorkshire which he had of the gift and feoffment of Ranulph, Earl of Chester and Lincoln. In 1232 he impleaded William son of William Corbicun to acquit him of service which Thomas, Earl of Warwick, demanded for lands in Barcheston and Studley, Warwickshire. He was heir c.1234 to his uncle, Fulk de Cantelowe, by which he inherited lands in Calstone Wellington, Wiltshire. He signed the confirmation of Magna Carta in 1236. On 23 October 1236 the king granted to him that he may render the 32 marks which were exacted from him by summons of the Exchequer, namely 30 marks for the prest of Hereford and 2 marks for the debts of Robert Barat his brother. At an unknown date, he granted the chapel in his court of Eaton Bray, Bedfordshire one messuage and 12 acres of land in Eaton Bray, six measures of wheat yearly, and 22 solidates of annual rent; with a further grant of 50s. yearly, to support a second chaplain, and of a croft to keep a lamp burning in the chapel. SIR WILLIAM DE CANTELOWE died at Reading, Berkshire 7 April 1239, and was buried at Studley Priory, Warwickshire.

Children of William de Cantelowe, by Masreline (or Mazra) de Bracy:
i. WILLIAM DE CANTELOWE, Knt. [see next].
ii. ROBERT DE CANTELOWE, of Meole Brace, Shropshire and Bingley, Yorkshire. In 1254 the king granted him permission to use the liberties and quittances in his manor of Bingley, Yorkshire as his father, William de Cantelowe, used by the king's charter. The same year he was granted free warren in all his demesne lands in Bingley, Yorkshire and Meules, Shropshire. Francisque-Michel Rdles Garcons 1 (1885): 470, 497. C.P.R 1247-1258 (1908): 305, 323.
iii. [MASTER] WALTER DE CANTELOWE, King's clerk, Archdeacon of Stafford, Bishop of Worcester. He was presented to a series of parish livings, i.e, Eyton in 1208, Burton and Worfield in 1215, Long Itchington, Rampisham, Preston, Priors Hardwick, and a moiety of Stokes in 1216, Hinxworth, Hertfordshire in 1219, Penrith, Cumberland in 1222, and Bulwick, Northamptonshire in 1227, and finally, on 22 July 1231, to a canonry and prebend in Lichfield Cathedral. He was evidently a pluralist, and as such was not wholly disinterested when, at the legatine council of 1237, he pleaded the cause of many noble pluralists, "who have until now lived honourably, giving what hospitality they could and dispensing alms with open doors," who were threatened with impoverishment by being reduced to a single benefice each. He served as king's proctor at the Roman court in 1227 and 1229. He acted as justice in eyre for several counties in 1232, and received a number of papal commissions to serve as a judge-delegate or to execute papal mandates. In January 1235 he was one of three envoys sent to France to bear truce proposals to King Louis IX and to swear on King Henry III's behalf to observe the conditions of the truce. He was elected as Bishop of Worcester 30 August 1236; his election received royal assent 9 September. In April 1237 he was ordained priest at Viterbo by Pope Gregory IX, who consecrated him 3 May. In October 1237 he was enthroned at Worcester in the presence of the papal legate, Cardinal Otto, the Archbishop of Canterbury, and the King and Queen of Scots. In 1237, as bishop-elect of Worcester, he again attended the papal court on the king's behalf. He proved himself a zealous diocesan bishop, sharing with Bishop Grosseteste of Lincoln a concern for the reform of abuses and the improvement of pastoral standards. The synodal statutes he promulgated for the Worcester diocese in 1240, frequently revised and updated, provided a model for the legislation of several of his episcopal colleagues. In 1240 he obtained papal sanction for a drive to remove married clergy from parishes and to deprive those who had succeeded their fathers in their benefices. He displayed the same energy in protecting and extending the temporal and spiritual rights of his see. He attended the Council of Lyons with other English prelates in 1245. In 1246 he stood with Robert Grosseteste in supporting the pope's right to receive financial aid from the clergy. In 1252 he supported Simon de Montfort against charges lodged by the king of extortion and mistreatment in Montfort's rule of Gascony. From 1255 onwards he was chief spokesman for the clerical opposition to King Henry's acceptance of the Sicilian crown for his second son, Edmund. In 1257 he was one of those sent to France to negotiate terms of a permanent peace. He played a leading role in the revolutionary events of the years 1258-65. At the Oxford parliament of June 1258 he was the only cleric chosen by the baronial side to serve on the committee of twenty-four which drafted the provisions of Oxford, and he was subsequently elected a member of the standing council imposed upon the king by the new constitution. In 1259 he was appointed one of the councillors to act as regents while the king was absent in France. Following King Henry's recovery of power in 1261, he remained a stalwart supporter of Montfort and an unyielding upholder of the provisions. He put his name to the baronial letters submitting the cause of the reformers to the arbitration of Louis IX, and his nephew, Thomas de Cantelowe, was entrusted with expounding the baronial case to Louis at Amiens. In March 1264, together with the bishops of Winchester, London, and Chichester, he held talks with the king's representatives at Brackley and Oxford, offering baronial acceptance of Louis' verdict on condition that King Henry expelled unacceptable aliens from court and allowed the council to nominate his ministers. In May, he and Henry de Sandwich, Bishop of London, accompanied Montfort's army on the march to Lewes, and on the eve of the battle made a last effort to mediate between Montfort and the king. But after this overture failed, Cantilupe exhorted Montfort's troops to confess their sins, gave them absolution, and blessed them. He was subsequently present at the Battles of Evesham, 1264, and Lewes, 1265. WALTER DE CANTELOWE, Bishop of Worcester, died at his manor of Blockley, Gloucestershire 12 Feb. 1266, and was buried by the monks beside the high altar in Worcester Cathedral. A zealous pastor, a scholar, and an idealist, as the spiritual mentor of one of the most radical political movements of the middle ages, he ranks among the greatest ecclesiastical leaders of his generation.

In 1239 Pope Gregory IX granted a dispensation to "Matthew de Cantelupe, clerk of the diocese of York, brother to the Bishop of Worcester, allowing him to hold more benefices than one." At an unknown date, he reached agreement with Philip, Abbot of Bordesley, relative to the fishery in the water called `Arewe' and common of pasture in the woods and fields in `Osmerleg' and in the wood called ‘Sortwode.'

“HUGH DE GOURNAY, seigneur of Gournay-en-Brie, also of Bledlow and Wendover, Buckinghamshire, Houghton, Bedfordshire, Gainer and Cantley, Norfolk, Mapledurham, Oxfordshire, etc., benefactor of Bellosane, Clairruissel and Fécamp Abbeys and the Priory of St. Laurent en Lions, Normandy, and Missenden Abbey, Buckinghamshire, younger but eldest surviving son and heir by his father's 2nd marriage, born say 1150-55 (adult by 1180). He married before 1193 JULIANE DE DAMMARTIN, daughter of Aubrey (or Alberic) II, Count of Dammartin, by Mahaut (or Mathilde), daughter of Renaud II, Count of Clermont-en-Beauvaisis [see DAMMARTIN 3 for her ancestry]. They had two sons, Gerard and Hugh, and one daughter, Millicent. In 1190 he was granted the manor of Houghton Regis, Bedfordshire. In 1191 he accompanied King Richard I on the 3rd Crusade. At the capture of Acre, he commanded 100 knights. In 1193, he swung over temporarily to King Philip's side and his manors of Houghton and Bledlow were taken. In 1184 Louis de Gournay, on Hugh's behalf, was pardoned £40 by the king on the Norman Pipe Rolls. In 1198 he granted the five churches of Caistor [on Sea] and the church of Cantley to the collegiate church of St. Hildevert, Gournay. The same year he made an exchange with the monks of Bec Hellouin in Normandy, by which the manor of Bledlow, Buckinghamshire passed to that alien abbey. In 1202 the manor of Wendover, Buckinghamshire was re-granted to him. In 1202 he joined the French side and Wendover was granted to Ralph de Tilley. In 1205 he gave Bucilly Abbey with the consent of his wife and children 5 muids of white wine and 20 sols laonnais which he had of 100 cens annually at Nouvion-le-Comte at la Saint-Remy. In 1206 he was pardoned at the instance of Otto the Emperor, and permitted to return to England. Sometime in the period, c.1206-14, he granted Missenden Abbey various tracts of land, including land in Peterley, Pirenor, and Hughenden. In 1210 he paid a fine of 700 marks that he might hold Wendover, Buckinghamshire, without being disseised thereof, unless by judgment in the king's courts. He was Sheriff of Buckinghamshire and Bedfordshire in 1214, being then "weighed down with sickness." HUGH DE GOURNAY died 25 October 1214 at Rouen in Normandy "after donning the garb of a Templar and discarding it by apostasy."

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

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

“HUGH DE GOURNAY, seigneur of Gournay-en-Brie, also of Bledlow and Wendover, Buckinghamshire, Houghton, Bedfordshire, Gainer and Cantley, Norfolk, Mapledurham, Oxfordshire, etc., benefactor of Bellosane, Clairruissel and Fécamp Abbeys and the Priory of St. Laurent en Lions, Normandy, and Missenden Abbey, Buckinghamshire, younger but eldest surviving son and heir by his father's 2nd marriage, born say 1150-55 (adult by 1180). He married before 1193 JULIANE DE DAMMARTIN, daughter of Aubrey (or Alberic) II, Count of Dammartin, by Mahaut (or Mathilde), daughter of Renaud II, Count of Clermont-en-Beauvaisis [see DAMMARTIN 3 for her ancestry]. They had two sons, Gerard and Hugh, and one daughter, Millicent. In 1190 he was granted the manor of Houghton Regis, Bedfordshire. In 1191 he accompanied King Richard I on the 3rd Crusade. At the capture of Acre, he commanded 100 knights. In 1193, he swung over temporarily to King Philip's side and his manors of Houghton and Bledlow were taken. In 1184 Louis de Gournay, on Hugh's behalf, was pardoned £40 by the king on the Norman Pipe Rolls. In 1198 he granted the five churches of Caistor [on Sea] and the church of Cantley to the collegiate church of St. Hildevert, Gournay. The same year he made an exchange with the monks of Bec Hellouin in Normandy, by which the manor of Bledlow, Buckinghamshire passed to that alien abbey. In 1202 the manor of Wendover, Buckinghamshire was re-granted to him. In 1202 he joined the French side and Wendover was granted to Ralph de Tilley. In 1205 he gave Bucilly Abbey with the consent of his wife and children 5 muids of white wine and 20 sols laonnais which he had of 100 cens annually at Nouvion-le-Comte at la Saint-Remy. In 1206 he was pardoned at the instance of Otto the Emperor, and permitted to return to England. Sometime in the period, c.1206-14, he granted Missenden Abbey various tracts of land, including land in Peterley, Pirenor, and Hughenden. In 1210 he paid a fine of 700 marks that he might hold Wendover, Buckinghamshire, without being disseised thereof, unless by judgment in the king's courts. He was Sheriff of Buckinghamshire and Bedfordshire in 1214, being then "weighed down with sickness." HUGH DE GOURNAY died 25 October 1214 at Rouen in Normandy "after donning the garb of a Templar and discarding it by apostasy."

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

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

“WILLIAM DE CANTELOWE, Knt., of Leigh, Dorset, Ellesborough and Mentmore, Buckinghamshire, Meole Brace, Shropshire, Barcheston and Studley, Warwickshire, Caine, Wiltshire, etc., Steward of the Household of John, Count of Mortain, 1198, Sheriff of Worcestershire, 1200-15, Sheriff of Warwickshire and Leicestershire, 1201-4, 1209-23, itinerant Justice in Staffordshire, 1203, Sheriff of Herefordshire, 1204-5, Steward of the King's Household, 1204-22, a Norman by birth. He married MASCELINE (or MAZRA) DE BRACY (or BRASCY, BRACI), daughter of Audulf de Bracy, of Meole Brace, Shropshire, Eaton Bray, Bedfordshire, Mentmore, Buckinghamshire, etc. They had four sons, William, Knt., Robert, Walter [Bishop of Worcester], and Matthew [Rector of Ribston, Yorkshire and Alvechurch, Worcestershire], and one daughter, (wife of Thurstan de Montfort). He witnessed two acts of King John while John was still an earl in 1198. The first was dated 12 July 1198 when William was styled 'tune senescallus;' the second was dated 4 Dec. 1198, just a few months before King Richard's death. William became one of the king's stewards of the household with Peter de Stokes and Robert de Thornham. In 1203 the king granted him lands in Great Bowden and Market Harborough, Leicestershire to hold during pleasure; William in turn entrusted the manors to his brother, Roger Orget. He took part in the ineffectual expedition to Poitou in 1205. The same year he was granted the manor of Eaton Bray, Bedfordshire, in exchange for 300 marks and the manor of Cockeswall; Eaton Bray subsequently became the head of the Cantelowe barony. In 1208 he was granted custody of the see of Worcester, and was a justice in Nottinghamshire. In 1209 he settled a dispute which he had with the Prior of Dunstaple regarding 50 acres in Shortgrave, Bedfordshire; he quitclaimed the said 50 acres to the Prior, as well as 20 acres in Eaton, Bedfordshire, which was part of the land which the Prior claimed by virtue of a grant made by Audulf de Bracy, father of Masceline, wife of William. He and William Briwerre supervised elections to the vacant sees of York and Carlisle in 1214. Wendover's description of him as one of John's "evil counselors" probably owes much to his role as a gaoler of baronial hostages. Wendover also suggests that Cantelowe may have wavered in his loyalty after the rebel seizure of London in 1215, but this is belied by the stream of royal writs sent to him in 1215-16. In 1215 he also witnessed the royal declaration of free election to sees and abbeys. He took the side of the king in his war with the barons. In 1215-16 he was granted a number of manors belonging to rebels, and was commissioned to treat with those who might return into the king's peace. In 1216 he was granted letters of presentation to the advowson of the church of Preston, Warwickshire, the gift belonging to the king because the land of Thurstan de Montfort was in his hand. In 1217 he was at the Siege of Mountsorrel and at the Battle of Lincoln. He presented to the churches of Ridlington, Rutland, 1217, 1218, 1221, and Hinxworth, Hertfordshire, 1218. In 1218 he witnessed the treaty of Worcester with Llywelyn ap Iorwerth, and was an itinerant justice in Bedfordshire. The same year the Sheriff was ordered to inform the king why he had disseised William of seven hides of land in Eaton. In 1219 he was a commissioner investigating encroachments on the royal forests in Oxfordshire, Buckinghamshire, and Herefordshire. His wife, Masceline, seems to have been living in 1220. Sometime before 1223, he appears to have acquired some of William Mattel's lands at Totternhoe, Bedfordshire. In 1223 he joined the armed demonstration of Ranulph, Earl of Chester at the Tower against the government of Hubert de Burgh; he submitted at Northampton on 30 December. He joined the royal Siege of Bedford in the summer of 1224. In 1225 he was allowed £1084 at the exchequer for war expenses under King John; this cancelled a list of debts that included increments due on county farms, scutages, and the fine for the custody of the lands and heir of Robert Chandos. As "William de Cantelowe, senior," he presented his son, [Master] Walter de Cantelowe, to the church of Bulwick, Northamptonshire in 1227. He obtained a confirmation of the manor of Aston Cantlow, Warwickshire in 1227 and 1231. In 1227 Richard Fitz William was called to warranty by William de Cantelowe for a third part of the manor of Ellesborough, Buckinghamshire, which Geva Basset, widow of the said Richard's uncle, also named Richard Fitz William, claimed in dower. He served in Wales in 1228, Brittany in 1230, and Wales again in 1231. In 1229, following the death of his brother, Roger Orget, the king re-granted him the manors of Great Bowden and Market Harborough, Leicestershire. In 1230 he received confirmation from the crown of the vill, market, and manor of Bingley, Yorkshire which he had of the gift and feoffment of Ranulph, Earl of Chester and Lincoln. In 1232 he impleaded William son of William Corbicun to acquit him of service which Thomas, Earl of Warwick, demanded for lands in Barcheston and Studley, Warwickshire. He was heir c.1234 to his uncle, Fulk de Cantelowe, by which he inherited lands in Calstone Wellington, Wiltshire. He signed the confirmation of Magna Carta in 1236. On 23 October 1236 the king granted to him that he may render the 32 marks which were exacted from him by summons of the Exchequer, namely 30 marks for the prest of Hereford and 2 marks for the debts of Robert Barat his brother. At an unknown date, he granted the chapel in his court of Eaton Bray, Bedfordshire one messuage and 12 acres of land in Eaton Bray, six measures of wheat yearly, and 22 solidates of annual rent; with a further grant of 50s. yearly, to support a second chaplain, and of a croft to keep a lamp burning in the chapel. SIR WILLIAM DE CANTELOWE died at Reading, Berkshire 7 April 1239, and was buried at Studley Priory, Warwickshire.

Children of William de Cantelowe, by Masreline (or Mazra) de Bracy:
i. WILLIAM DE CANTELOWE, Knt. [see next].
ii. ROBERT DE CANTELOWE, of Meole Brace, Shropshire and Bingley, Yorkshire. In 1254 the king granted him permission to use the liberties and quittances in his manor of Bingley, Yorkshire as his father, William de Cantelowe, used by the king's charter. The same year he was granted free warren in all his demesne lands in Bingley, Yorkshire and Meules, Shropshire. Francisque-Michel Rdles Garcons 1 (1885): 470, 497. C.P.R 1247-1258 (1908): 305, 323.
iii. [MASTER] WALTER DE CANTELOWE, King's clerk, Archdeacon of Stafford, Bishop of Worcester. He was presented to a series of parish livings, i.e, Eyton in 1208, Burton and Worfield in 1215, Long Itchington, Rampisham, Preston, Priors Hardwick, and a moiety of Stokes in 1216, Hinxworth, Hertfordshire in 1219, Penrith, Cumberland in 1222, and Bulwick, Northamptonshire in 1227, and finally, on 22 July 1231, to a canonry and prebend in Lichfield Cathedral. He was evidently a pluralist, and as such was not wholly disinterested when, at the legatine council of 1237, he pleaded the cause of many noble pluralists, "who have until now lived honourably, giving what hospitality they could and dispensing alms with open doors," who were threatened with impoverishment by being reduced to a single benefice each. He served as king's proctor at the Roman court in 1227 and 1229. He acted as justice in eyre for several counties in 1232, and received a number of papal commissions to serve as a judge-delegate or to execute papal mandates. In January 1235 he was one of three envoys sent to France to bear truce proposals to King Louis IX and to swear on King Henry III's behalf to observe the conditions of the truce. He was elected as Bishop of Worcester 30 August 1236; his election received royal assent 9 September. In April 1237 he was ordained priest at Viterbo by Pope Gregory IX, who consecrated him 3 May. In October 1237 he was enthroned at Worcester in the presence of the papal legate, Cardinal Otto, the Archbishop of Canterbury, and the King and Queen of Scots. In 1237, as bishop-elect of Worcester, he again attended the papal court on the king's behalf. He proved himself a zealous diocesan bishop, sharing with Bishop Grosseteste of Lincoln a concern for the reform of abuses and the improvement of pastoral standards. The synodal statutes he promulgated for the Worcester diocese in 1240, frequently revised and updated, provided a model for the legislation of several of his episcopal colleagues. In 1240 he obtained papal sanction for a drive to remove married clergy from parishes and to deprive those who had succeeded their fathers in their benefices. He displayed the same energy in protecting and extending the temporal and spiritual rights of his see. He attended the Council of Lyons with other English prelates in 1245. In 1246 he stood with Robert Grosseteste in supporting the pope's right to receive financial aid from the clergy. In 1252 he supported Simon de Montfort against charges lodged by the king of extortion and mistreatment in Montfort's rule of Gascony. From 1255 onwards he was chief spokesman for the clerical opposition to King Henry's acceptance of the Sicilian crown for his second son, Edmund. In 1257 he was one of those sent to France to negotiate terms of a permanent peace. He played a leading role in the revolutionary events of the years 1258-65. At the Oxford parliament of June 1258 he was the only cleric chosen by the baronial side to serve on the committee of twenty-four which drafted the provisions of Oxford, and he was subsequently elected a member of the standing council imposed upon the king by the new constitution. In 1259 he was appointed one of the councillors to act as regents while the king was absent in France. Following King Henry's recovery of power in 1261, he remained a stalwart supporter of Montfort and an unyielding upholder of the provisions. He put his name to the baronial letters submitting the cause of the reformers to the arbitration of Louis IX, and his nephew, Thomas de Cantelowe, was entrusted with expounding the baronial case to Louis at Amiens. In March 1264, together with the bishops of Winchester, London, and Chichester, he held talks with the king's representatives at Brackley and Oxford, offering baronial acceptance of Louis' verdict on condition that King Henry expelled unacceptable aliens from court and allowed the council to nominate his ministers. In May, he and Henry de Sandwich, Bishop of London, accompanied Montfort's army on the march to Lewes, and on the eve of the battle made a last effort to mediate between Montfort and the king. But after this overture failed, Cantilupe exhorted Montfort's troops to confess their sins, gave them absolution, and blessed them. He was subsequently present at the Battles of Evesham, 1264, and Lewes, 1265. WALTER DE CANTELOWE, Bishop of Worcester, died at his manor of Blockley, Gloucestershire 12 Feb. 1266, and was buried by the monks beside the high altar in Worcester Cathedral. A zealous pastor, a scholar, and an idealist, as the spiritual mentor of one of the most radical political movements of the middle ages, he ranks among the greatest ecclesiastical leaders of his generation.

At an unknown date, he reached agreement with Philip, Abbot of Bordesley, relative to the fishery in the water called `Arewe' and common of pasture in the woods and fields in `Osmerleg' and in the wood called ‘Sortwode.'

Wendover's description of him as one of John's "evil counselors" probably owes much to his role as a gaoler of baronial hostages. Wendover also suggests that Cantelowe may have wavered in his loyalty after the rebel seizure of London in 1215, but this is belied by the stream of royal writs sent to him in 1215-16. In 1215 he also witnessed the royal declaration of free election to sees and abbeys. He took the side of the king in his war with the barons. In 1215-16 he was granted a number of manors belonging to rebels, and was commissioned to treat with those who might return into the king's peace. In 1216 he was granted letters of presentation to the advowson of the church of Preston, Warwickshire, the gift belonging to the king because the land of Thurstan de Montfort was in his hand. In 1217 he was at the Siege of Mountsorrel and at the Battle of Lincoln. He presented to the churches of Ridlington, Rutland, 1217, 1218, 1221, and Hinxworth, Hertfordshire, 1218. In 1218 he witnessed the treaty of Worcester with Llywelyn ap Iorwerth, and was an itinerant justice in Bedfordshire. The same year the Sheriff was ordered to inform the king why he had disseised William of seven hides of land in Eaton. In 1219 he was a commissioner investigating encroachments on the royal forests in Oxfordshire, Buckinghamshire, and Herefordshire. His wife, Masceline, seems to have been living in 1220. Sometime before 1223, he appears to have acquired some of William Mattel's lands at Totternhoe, Bedfordshire. In 1223 he joined the armed demonstration of Ranulph, Earl of Chester at the Tower against the government of Hubert de Burgh; he submitted at Northampton on 30 December. He joined the royal Siege of Bedford in the summer of 1224. In 1225 he was allowed £1084 at the exchequer for war expenses under King John; this cancelled a list of debts that included increments due on county farms, scutages, and the fine for the custody of the lands and heir of Robert Chandos. As "William de Cantelowe, senior," he presented his son, [Master] Walter de Cantelowe, to the church of Bulwick, Northamptonshire in 1227. He obtained a confirmation of the manor of Aston Cantlow, Warwickshire in 1227 and 1231. In 1227 Richard Fitz William was called to warranty by William de Cantelowe for a third part of the manor of Ellesborough, Buckinghamshire, which Geva Basset, widow of the said Richard's uncle, also named Richard Fitz William, claimed in dower. He served in Wales in 1228, Brittany in 1230, and Wales again in 1231. In 1229, following the death of his brother, Roger Orget, the king re-granted him the manors of Great Bowden and Market Harborough, Leicestershire. In 1230 he received confirmation from the crown of the vill, market, and manor of Bingley, Yorkshire which he had of the gift and feoffment of Ranulph, Earl of Chester and Lincoln. In 1232 he impleaded William son of William Corbicun to acquit him of service which Thomas, Earl of Warwick, demanded for lands in Barcheston and Studley, Warwickshire. He was heir c.1234 to his uncle, Fulk de Cantelowe, by which he inherited lands in Calstone Wellington, Wiltshire. He signed the confirmation of Magna Carta in 1236. On 23 October 1236 the king granted to him that he may render the 32 marks which were exacted from him by summons of the Exchequer, namely 30 marks for the prest of Hereford and 2 marks for the debts of Robert Barat his brother. At an unknown date, he granted the chapel in his court of Eaton Bray, Bedfordshire one messuage and 12 acres of land in Eaton Bray, six measures of wheat yearly, and 22 solidates of annual rent; with a further grant of 50s. yearly, to support a second chaplain, and of a croft to keep a lamp burning in the chapel. SIR WILLIAM DE CANTELOWE died at Reading, Berkshire 7 April 1239, and was buried at Studley Priory, Warwickshire.

Children of William de Cantelowe, by Masreline (or Mazra) de Bracy:
i. WILLIAM DE CANTELOWE, Knt. [see next].
ii. ROBERT DE CANTELOWE, of Meole Brace, Shropshire and Bingley, Yorkshire. In 1254 the king granted him permission to use the liberties and quittances in his manor of Bingley, Yorkshire as his father, William de Cantelowe, used by the king's charter. The same year he was granted free warren in all his demesne lands in Bingley, Yorkshire and Meules, Shropshire. Francisque-Michel Rdles Garcons 1 (1885): 470, 497. C.P.R 1247-1258 (1908): 305, 323.
iii. [MASTER] WALTER DE CANTELOWE, King's clerk, Archdeacon of Stafford, Bishop of Worcester. He was presented to a series of parish livings, i.e, Eyton in 1208, Burton and Worfield in 1215, Long Itchington, Rampisham, Preston, Priors Hardwick, and a moiety of Stokes in 1216, Hinxworth, Hertfordshire in 1219, Penrith, Cumberland in 1222, and Bulwick, Northamptonshire in 1227, and finally, on 22 July 1231, to a canonry and prebend in Lichfield Cathedral. He was evidently a pluralist, and as such was not wholly disinterested when, at the legatine council of 1237, he pleaded the cause of many noble pluralists, "who have until now lived honourably, giving what hospitality they could and dispensing alms with open doors," who were threatened with impoverishment by being reduced to a single benefice each. He served as king's proctor at the Roman court in 1227 and 1229. He acted as justice in eyre for several counties in 1232, and received a number of papal commissions to serve as a judge-delegate or to execute papal mandates. In January 1235 he was one of three envoys sent to France to bear truce proposals to King Louis IX and to swear on King Henry III's behalf to observe the conditions of the truce. He was elected as Bishop of Worcester 30 August 1236; his election received royal assent 9 September. In April 1237 he was ordained priest at Viterbo by Pope Gregory IX, who consecrated him 3 May. In October 1237 he was enthroned at Worcester in the presence of the papal legate, Cardinal Otto, the Archbishop of Canterbury, and the King and Queen of Scots. In 1237, as bishop-elect of Worcester, he again attended the papal court on the king's behalf. He proved himself a zealous diocesan bishop, sharing with Bishop Grosseteste of Lincoln a concern for the reform of abuses and the improvement of pastoral standards. The synodal statutes he promulgated for the Worcester diocese in 1240, frequently revised and updated, provided a model for the legislation of several of his episcopal colleagues. In 1240 he obtained papal sanction for a drive to remove married clergy from parishes and to deprive those who had succeeded their fathers in their benefices. He displayed the same energy in protecting and extending the temporal and spiritual rights of his see. He attended the Council of Lyons with other English prelates in 1245. In 1246 he stood with Robert Grosseteste in supporting the pope's right to receive financial aid from the clergy. In 1252 he supported Simon de Montfort against charges lodged by the king of extortion and mistreatment in Montfort's rule of Gascony. From 1255 onwards he was chief spokesman for the clerical opposition to King Henry's acceptance of the Sicilian crown for his second son, Edmund. In 1257 he was one of those sent to France to negotiate terms of a permanent peace. He played a leading role in the revolutionary events of the years 1258-65. At the Oxford parliament of June 1258 he was the only cleric chosen by the baronial side to serve on the committee of twenty-four which drafted the provisions of Oxford, and he was subsequently elected a member of the standing council imposed upon the king by the new constitution. In 1259 he was appointed one of the councillors to act as regents while the king was absent in France. Following King Henry's recovery of power in 1261, he remained a stalwart supporter of Montfort and an unyielding upholder of the provisions. He put his name to the baronial letters submitting the cause of the reformers to the arbitration of Louis IX, and his nephew, Thomas de Cantelowe, was entrusted with expounding the baronial case to Louis at Amiens. In March 1264, together with the bishops of Winchester, London, and Chichester, he held talks with the king's representatives at Brackley and Oxford, offering baronial acceptance of Louis' verdict on condition that King Henry expelled unacceptable aliens from court and allowed the council to nominate his ministers. In May, he and Henry de Sandwich, Bishop of London, accompanied Montfort's army on the march to Lewes, and on the eve of the battle made a last effort to mediate between Montfort and the king. But after this overture failed, Cantilupe exhorted Montfort's troops to confess their sins, gave them absolution, and blessed them. He was subsequently present at the Battles of Evesham, 1264, and Lewes, 1265. WALTER DE CANTELOWE, Bishop of Worcester, died at his manor of Blockley, Gloucestershire 12 Feb. 1266, and was buried by the monks beside the high altar in Worcester Cathedral. A zealous pastor, a scholar, and an idealist, as the spiritual mentor of one of the most radical political movements of the middle ages, he ranks among the greatest ecclesiastical leaders of his generation.

“WILLIAM DE CANTELOWE, Knt., of Leigh, Dorset, Ellesborough and Mentmore, Buckinghamshire, Meole Brace, Shropshire, Barcheston and Studley, Warwickshire, Caine, Wiltshire, etc., Steward of the Household of John, Count of Mortain, 1198, Sheriff of Worcestershire, 1200-15, Sheriff of Warwickshire and Leicestershire, 1201-4, 1209-23, itinerant Justice in Staffordshire, 1203, Sheriff of Herefordshire, 1204-5, Steward of the King's Household, 1204-22, a Norman by birth. He married MASCELINE (or MAZRA) DE BRACY (or BRASCY, BRACI), daughter of Audulf de Bracy, of Meole Brace, Shropshire, Eaton Bray, Bedfordshire, Mentmore, Buckinghamshire, etc. They had four sons, William, Knt., Robert, Walter [Bishop of Worcester], and Matthew [Rector of Ribston, Yorkshire and Alvechurch, Worcestershire], and one daughter, (wife of Thurstan de Montfort). He witnessed two acts of King John while John was still an earl in 1198. The first was dated 12 July 1198 when William was styled 'tune senescallus;' the second was dated 4 Dec. 1198, just a few months before King Richard's death. William became one of the king's stewards of the household with Peter de Stokes and Robert de Thornham. In 1203 the king granted him lands in Great Bowden and Market Harborough, Leicestershire to hold during pleasure; William in turn entrusted the manors to his brother, Roger Orget. He took part in the ineffectual expedition to Poitou in 1205. The same year he was granted the manor of Eaton Bray, Bedfordshire, in exchange for 300 marks and the manor of Cockeswall; Eaton Bray subsequently became the head of the Cantelowe barony. In 1208 he was granted custody of the see of Worcester, and was a justice in Nottinghamshire. In 1209 he settled a dispute which he had with the Prior of Dunstaple regarding 50 acres in Shortgrave, Bedfordshire; he quitclaimed the said 50 acres to the Prior, as well as 20 acres in Eaton, Bedfordshire, which was part of the land which the Prior claimed by virtue of a grant made by Audulf de Bracy, father of Masceline, wife of William.

He was presented to a series of parish livings, i.e, Eyton in 1208, Burton and Worfield in 1215, Long Itchington, Rampisham, Preston, Priors Hardwick, and a moiety of Stokes in 1216, Hinxworth, Hertfordshire in 1219, Penrith, Cumberland in 1222, and Bulwick, Northamptonshire in 1227, and finally, on 22 July 1231, to a canonry and prebend in Lichfield Cathedral. He was evidently a pluralist, and as such was not wholly disinterested when, at the legatine council of 1237, he pleaded the cause of many noble pluralists, "who have until now lived honourably, giving what hospitality they could and dispensing alms with open doors," who were threatened with impoverishment by being reduced to a single benefice each. He served as king's proctor at the Roman court in 1227 and 1229. He acted as justice in eyre for several counties in 1232, and received a number of papal commissions to serve as a judge-delegate or to execute papal mandates. In January 1235 he was one of three envoys sent to France to bear truce proposals to King Louis IX and to swear on King Henry III's behalf to observe the conditions of the truce. He was elected as Bishop of Worcester 30 August 1236; his election received royal assent 9 September. In April 1237 he was ordained priest at Viterbo by Pope Gregory IX, who consecrated him 3 May. In October 1237 he was enthroned at Worcester in the presence of the papal legate, Cardinal Otto, the Archbishop of Canterbury, and the King and Queen of Scots. In 1237, as bishop-elect of Worcester, he again attended the papal court on the king's behalf. He proved himself a zealous diocesan bishop, sharing with Bishop Grosseteste of Lincoln a concern for the reform of abuses and the improvement of pastoral standards. The synodal statutes he promulgated for the Worcester diocese in 1240, frequently revised and updated, provided a model for the legislation of several of his episcopal colleagues. In 1240 he obtained papal sanction for a drive to remove married clergy from parishes and to deprive those who had succeeded their fathers in their benefices. He displayed the same energy in protecting and extending the temporal and spiritual rights of his see. He attended the Council of Lyons with other English prelates in 1245. In 1246 he stood with Robert Grosseteste in supporting the pope's right to receive financial aid from the clergy. In 1252 he supported Simon de Montfort against charges lodged by the king of extortion and mistreatment in Montfort's rule of Gascony. From 1255 onwards he was chief spokesman for the clerical opposition to King Henry's acceptance of the Sicilian crown for his second son, Edmund. In 1257 he was one of those sent to France to negotiate terms of a permanent peace. He played a leading role in the revolutionary events of the years 1258-65. At the Oxford parliament of June 1258 he was the only cleric chosen by the baronial side to serve on the committee of twenty-four which drafted the provisions of Oxford, and he was subsequently elected a member of the standing council imposed upon the king by the new constitution. In 1259 he was appointed one of the councillors to act as regents while the king was absent in France. Following King Henry's recovery of power in 1261, he remained a stalwart supporter of Montfort and an unyielding upholder of the provisions. He put his name to the baronial letters submitting the cause of the reformers to the arbitration of Louis IX, and his nephew, Thomas de Cantelowe, was entrusted with expounding the baronial case to Louis at Amiens. In March 1264, together with the bishops of Winchester, London, and Chichester, he held talks with the king's representatives at Brackley and Oxford, offering baronial acceptance of Louis' verdict on condition that King Henry expelled unacceptable aliens from court and allowed the council to nominate his ministers. In May, he and Henry de Sandwich, Bishop of London, accompanied Montfort's army on the march to Lewes, and on the eve of the battle made a last effort to mediate between Montfort and the king. But after this overture failed, Cantilupe exhorted Montfort's troops to confess their sins, gave them absolution, and blessed them. He was subsequently present at the Battles of Evesham, 1264, and Lewes, 1265. WALTER DE CANTELOWE, Bishop of Worcester, died at his manor of Blockley, Gloucestershire 12 Feb. 1266, and was buried by the monks beside the high altar in Worcester Cathedral. A zealous pastor, a scholar, and an idealist, as the spiritual mentor of one of the most radical political movements of the middle ages, he ranks among the greatest ecclesiastical leaders of his generation.

1. “Royal Ancestry: A Study in Colonial & Medieval Families,” Douglas Richardson (2013):
“WILLIAM DE CANTELOWE, Knt., of Leigh, Dorset, Ellesborough and Mentmore, Buckinghamshire, Meole Brace, Shropshire, Barcheston and Studley, Warwickshire, Caine, Wiltshire, etc., Steward of the Household of John, Count of Mortain, 1198, Sheriff of Worcestershire, 1200-15, Sheriff of Warwickshire and Leicestershire, 1201-4, 1209-23, itinerant Justice in Staffordshire, 1203, Sheriff of Herefordshire, 1204-5, Steward of the King's Household, 1204-22, a Norman by birth. He married MASCELINE (or MAZRA) DE BRACY (or BRASCY, BRACI), daughter of Audulf de Bracy, of Meole Brace, Shropshire, Eaton Bray, Bedfordshire, Mentmore, Buckinghamshire, etc. They had four sons, William, Knt., Robert, Walter [Bishop of Worcester], and Matthew [Rector of Ribston, Yorkshire and Alvechurch, Worcestershire], and one daughter, (wife of Thurstan de Montfort). He witnessed two acts of King John while John was still an earl in 1198. The first was dated 12 July 1198 when William was styled 'tune senescallus;' the second was dated 4 Dec. 1198, just a few months before King Richard's death. William became one of the king's stewards of the household with Peter de Stokes and Robert de Thornham. In 1203 the king granted him lands in Great Bowden and Market Harborough, Leicestershire to hold during pleasure; William in turn entrusted the manors to his brother, Roger Orget. He took part in the ineffectual expedition to Poitou in 1205. The same year he was granted the manor of Eaton Bray, Bedfordshire, in exchange for 300 marks and the manor of Cockeswall; Eaton Bray subsequently became the head of the Cantelowe barony. In 1208 he was granted custody of the see of Worcester, and was a justice in Nottinghamshire. In 1209 he settled a dispute which he had with the Prior of Dunstaple regarding 50 acres in Shortgrave, Bedfordshire; he quitclaimed the said 50 acres to the Prior, as well as 20 acres in Eaton, Bedfordshire, which was part of the land which the Prior claimed by virtue of a grant made by Audulf de Bracy, father of Masceline, wife of William. He and William Briwerre supervised elections to the vacant sees of York and Carlisle in 1214. Wendover's description of him as one of John's "evil counselors" probably owes much to his role as a gaoler of baronial hostages. Wendover also suggests that Cantelowe may have wavered in his loyalty after the rebel seizure of London in 1215, but this is belied by the stream of royal writs sent to him in 1215-16. In 1215 he also witnessed the royal declaration of free election to sees and abbeys. He took the side of the king in his war with the barons. In 1215-16 he was granted a number of manors belonging to rebels, and was commissioned to treat with those who might return into the king's peace. In 1216 he was granted letters of presentation to the advowson of the church of Preston, Warwickshire, the gift belonging to the king because the land of Thurstan de Montfort was in his hand. In 1217 he was at the Siege of Mountsorrel and at the Battle of Lincoln. He presented to the churches of Ridlington, Rutland, 1217, 1218, 1221, and Hinxworth, Hertfordshire, 1218. In 1218 he witnessed the treaty of Worcester with Llywelyn ap Iorwerth, and was an itinerant justice in Bedfordshire. The same year the Sheriff was ordered to inform the king why he had disseised William of seven hides of land in Eaton. In 1219 he was a commissioner investigating encroachments on the royal forests in Oxfordshire, Buckinghamshire, and Herefordshire. His wife, Masceline, seems to have been living in 1220. Sometime before 1223, he appears to have acquired some of William Mattel's lands at Totternhoe, Bedfordshire. In 1223 he joined the armed demonstration of Ranulph, Earl of Chester at the Tower against the government of Hubert de Burgh; he submitted at Northampton on 30 December. He joined the royal Siege of Bedford in the summer of 1224. In 1225 he was allowed £1084 at the exchequer for war expenses under King John; this cancelled a list of debts that included increments due on county farms, scutages, and the fine for the custody of the lands and heir of Robert Chandos. As "William de Cantelowe, senior," he presented his son, [Master] Walter de Cantelowe, to the church of Bulwick, Northamptonshire in 1227. He obtained a confirmation of the manor of Aston Cantlow, Warwickshire in 1227 and 1231. In 1227 Richard Fitz William was called to warranty by William de Cantelowe for a third part of the manor of Ellesborough, Buckinghamshire, which Geva Basset, widow of the said Richard's uncle, also named Richard Fitz William, claimed in dower. He served in Wales in 1228, Brittany in 1230, and Wales again in 1231. In 1229, following the death of his brother, Roger Orget, the king re-granted him the manors of Great Bowden and Market Harborough, Leicestershire. In 1230 he received confirmation from the crown of the vill, market, and manor of Bingley, Yorkshire which he had of the gift and feoffment of Ranulph, Earl of Chester and Lincoln. In 1232 he impleaded William son of William Corbicun to acquit him of service which Thomas, Earl of Warwick, demanded for lands in Barcheston and Studley, Warwickshire. He was heir c.1234 to his uncle, Fulk de Cantelowe, by which he inherited lands in Calstone Wellington, Wiltshire. He signed the confirmation of Magna Carta in 1236. On 23 October 1236 the king granted to him that he may render the 32 marks which were exacted from him by summons of the Exchequer, namely 30 marks for the prest of Hereford and 2 marks for the debts of Robert Barat his brother. At an unknown date, he granted the chapel in his court of Eaton Bray, Bedfordshire one messuage and 12 acres of land in Eaton Bray, six measures of wheat yearly, and 22 solidates of annual rent; with a further grant of 50s. yearly, to support a second chaplain, and of a croft to keep a lamp burning in the chapel. SIR WILLIAM DE CANTELOWE died at Reading, Berkshire 7 April 1239, and was buried at Studley Priory, Warwickshire.

“WILLIAM DE CANTELOWE, Knt., of Leigh, Dorset, Ellesborough and Mentmore, Buckinghamshire, Meole Brace, Shropshire, Barcheston and Studley, Warwickshire, Caine, Wiltshire, etc., Steward of the Household of John, Count of Mortain, 1198, Sheriff of Worcestershire, 1200-15, Sheriff of Warwickshire and Leicestershire, 1201-4, 1209-23, itinerant Justice in Staffordshire, 1203, Sheriff of Herefordshire, 1204-5, Steward of the King's Household, 1204-22, a Norman by birth. He married MASCELINE (or MAZRA) DE BRACY (or BRASCY, BRACI), daughter of Audulf de Bracy, of Meole Brace, Shropshire, Eaton Bray, Bedfordshire, Mentmore, Buckinghamshire, etc. They had four sons, William, Knt., Robert, Walter [Bishop of Worcester], and Matthew [Rector of Ribston, Yorkshire and Alvechurch, Worcestershire], and one daughter, (wife of Thurstan de Montfort). He witnessed two acts of King John while John was still an earl in 1198. The first was dated 12 July 1198 when William was styled 'tune senescallus;' the second was dated 4 Dec. 1198, just a few months before King Richard's death. William became one of the king's stewards of the household with Peter de Stokes and Robert de Thornham. In 1203 the king granted him lands in Great Bowden and Market Harborough, Leicestershire to hold during pleasure; William in turn entrusted the manors to his brother, Roger Orget. He took part in the ineffectual expedition to Poitou in 1205. The same year he was granted the manor of Eaton Bray, Bedfordshire, in exchange for 300 marks and the manor of Cockeswall; Eaton Bray subsequently became the head of the Cantelowe barony. In 1208 he was granted custody of the see of Worcester, and was a justice in Nottinghamshire. In 1209 he settled a dispute which he had with the Prior of Dunstaple regarding 50 acres in Shortgrave, Bedfordshire; he quitclaimed the said 50 acres to the Prior, as well as 20 acres in Eaton, Bedfordshire, which was part of the land which the Prior claimed by virtue of a grant made by Audulf de Bracy, father of Masceline, wife of William. He and William Briwerre supervised elections to the vacant sees of York and Carlisle in 1214. Wendover's description of him as one of John's "evil counselors" probably owes much to his role as a gaoler of baronial hostages. Wendover also suggests that Cantelowe may have wavered in his loyalty after the rebel seizure of London in 1215, but this is belied by the stream of royal writs sent to him in 1215-16. In 1215 he also witnessed the royal declaration of free election to sees and abbeys. He took the side of the king in his war with the barons. In 1215-16 he was granted a number of manors belonging to rebels, and was commissioned to treat with those who might return into the king's peace. In 1216 he was granted letters of presentation to the advowson of the church of Preston, Warwickshire, the gift belonging to the king because the land of Thurstan de Montfort was in his hand. In 1217 he was at the Siege of Mountsorrel and at the Battle of Lincoln. He presented to the churches of Ridlington, Rutland, 1217, 1218, 1221, and Hinxworth, Hertfordshire, 1218. In 1218 he witnessed the treaty of Worcester with Llywelyn ap Iorwerth, and was an itinerant justice in Bedfordshire. The same year the Sheriff was ordered to inform the king why he had disseised William of seven hides of land in Eaton. In 1219 he was a commissioner investigating encroachments on the royal forests in Oxfordshire, Buckinghamshire, and Herefordshire. His wife, Masceline, seems to have been living in 1220. Sometime before 1223, he appears to have acquired some of William Mattel's lands at Totternhoe, Bedfordshire. In 1223 he joined the armed demonstration of Ranulph, Earl of Chester at the Tower against the government of Hubert de Burgh; he submitted at Northampton on 30 December. He joined the royal Siege of Bedford in the summer of 1224. In 1225 he was allowed £1084 at the exchequer for war expenses under King John; this cancelled a list of debts that included increments due on county farms, scutages, and the fine for the custody of the lands and heir of Robert Chandos. As "William de Cantelowe, senior," he presented his son, [Master] Walter de Cantelowe, to the church of Bulwick, Northamptonshire in 1227. He obtained a confirmation of the manor of Aston Cantlow, Warwickshire in 1227 and 1231. In 1227 Richard Fitz William was called to warranty by William de Cantelowe for a third part of the manor of Ellesborough, Buckinghamshire, which Geva Basset, widow of the said Richard's uncle, also named Richard Fitz William, claimed in dower. He served in Wales in 1228, Brittany in 1230, and Wales again in 1231. In 1229, following the death of his brother, Roger Orget, the king re-granted him the manors of Great Bowden and Market Harborough, Leicestershire. In 1230 he received confirmation from the crown of the vill, market, and manor of Bingley, Yorkshire which he had of the gift and feoffment of Ranulph, Earl of Chester and Lincoln. In 1232 he impleaded William son of William Corbicun to acquit him of service which Thomas, Earl of Warwick, demanded for lands in Barcheston and Studley, Warwickshire. He was heir c.1234 to his uncle, Fulk de Cantelowe, by which he inherited lands in Calstone Wellington, Wiltshire. He signed the confirmation of Magna Carta in 1236. On 23 October 1236 the king granted to him that he may render the 32 marks which were exacted from him by summons of the Exchequer, namely 30 marks for the prest of Hereford and 2 marks for the debts of Robert Barat his brother. At an unknown date, he granted the chapel in his court of Eaton Bray, Bedfordshire one messuage and 12 acres of land in Eaton Bray, six measures of wheat yearly, and 22 solidates of annual rent; with a further grant of 50s. yearly, to support a second chaplain, and of a croft to keep a lamp burning in the chapel. SIR WILLIAM DE CANTELOWE died at Reading, Berkshire 7 April 1239, and was buried at Studley Priory, Warwickshire.

Children of William de Cantelowe, by Masreline (or Mazra) de Bracy:
i. WILLIAM DE CANTELOWE, Knt. [see next].
ii. ROBERT DE CANTELOWE, of Meole Brace, Shropshire and Bingley, Yorkshire. In 1254 the king granted him permission to use the liberties and quittances in his manor of Bingley, Yorkshire as his father, William de Cantelowe, used by the king's charter. The same year he was granted free warren in all his demesne lands in Bingley, Yorkshire and Meules, Shropshire. Francisque-Michel Rdles Garcons 1 (1885): 470, 497. C.P.R 1247-1258 (1908): 305, 323.
iii. [MASTER] WALTER DE CANTELOWE, King's clerk, Archdeacon of Stafford, Bishop of Worcester. He was presented to a series of parish livings, i.e, Eyton in 1208, Burton and Worfield in 1215, Long Itchington, Rampisham, Preston, Priors Hardwick, and a moiety of Stokes in 1216, Hinxworth, Hertfordshire in 1219, Penrith, Cumberland in 1222, and Bulwick, Northamptonshire in 1227, and finally, on 22 July 1231, to a canonry and prebend in Lichfield Cathedral. He was evidently a pluralist, and as such was not wholly disinterested when, at the legatine council of 1237, he pleaded the cause of many noble pluralists, "who have until now lived honourably, giving what hospitality they could and dispensing alms with open doors," who were threatened with impoverishment by being reduced to a single benefice each. He served as king's proctor at the Roman court in 1227 and 1229. He acted as justice in eyre for several counties in 1232, and received a number of papal commissions to serve as a judge-delegate or to execute papal mandates. In January 1235 he was one of three envoys sent to France to bear truce proposals to King Louis IX and to swear on King Henry III's behalf to observe the conditions of the truce. He was elected as Bishop of Worcester 30 August 1236; his election received royal assent 9 September. In April 1237 he was ordained priest at Viterbo by Pope Gregory IX, who consecrated him 3 May. In October 1237 he was enthroned at Worcester in the presence of the papal legate, Cardinal Otto, the Archbishop of Canterbury, and the King and Queen of Scots. In 1237, as bishop-elect of Worcester, he again attended the papal court on the king's behalf. He proved himself a zealous diocesan bishop, sharing with Bishop Grosseteste of Lincoln a concern for the reform of abuses and the improvement of pastoral standards. The synodal statutes he promulgated for the Worcester diocese in 1240, frequently revised and updated, provided a model for the legislation of several of his episcopal colleagues. In 1240 he obtained papal sanction for a drive to remove married clergy from parishes and to deprive those who had succeeded their fathers in their benefices. He displayed the same energy in protecting and extending the temporal and spiritual rights of his see. He attended the Council of Lyons with other English prelates in 1245. In 1246 he stood with Robert Grosseteste in supporting the pope's right to receive financial aid from the clergy. In 1252 he supported Simon de Montfort against charges lodged by the king of extortion and mistreatment in Montfort's rule of Gascony. From 1255 onwards he was chief spokesman for the clerical opposition to King Henry's acceptance of the Sicilian crown for his second son, Edmund. In 1257 he was one of those sent to France to negotiate terms of a permanent peace. He played a leading role in the revolutionary events of the years 1258-65. At the Oxford parliament of June 1258 he was the only cleric chosen by the baronial side to serve on the committee of twenty-four which drafted the provisions of Oxford, and he was subsequently elected a member of the standing council imposed upon the king by the new constitution. In 1259 he was appointed one of the councillors to act as regents while the king was absent in France. Following King Henry's recovery of power in 1261, he remained a stalwart supporter of Montfort and an unyielding upholder of the provisions. He put his name to the baronial letters submitting the cause of the reformers to the arbitration of Louis IX, and his nephew, Thomas de Cantelowe, was entrusted with expounding the baronial case to Louis at Amiens. In March 1264, together with the bishops of Winchester, London, and Chichester, he held talks with the king's representatives at Brackley and Oxford, offering baronial acceptance of Louis' verdict on condition that King Henry expelled unacceptable aliens from court and allowed the council to nominate his ministers. In May, he and Henry de Sandwich, Bishop of London, accompanied Montfort's army on the march to Lewes, and on the eve of the battle made a last effort to mediate between Montfort and the king. But after this overture failed, Cantilupe exhorted Montfort's troops to confess their sins, gave them absolution, and blessed them. He was subsequently present at the Battles of Evesham, 1264, and Lewes, 1265. WALTER DE CANTELOWE, Bishop of Worcester, died at his manor of Blockley, Gloucestershire 12 Feb. 1266, and was buried by the monks beside the high altar in Worcester Cathedral. A zealous pastor, a scholar, and an idealist, as the spiritual mentor of one of the most radical political movements of the middle ages, he ranks among the greatest ecclesiastical leaders of his generation.

At an unknown date, he reached agreement with Philip, Abbot of Bordesley, relative to the fishery in the water called `Arewe' and common of pasture in the woods and fields in `Osmerleg' and in the wood called ‘Sortwode.'

Children of William de Cantelowe, by Masreline (or Mazra) de Bracy:
i. WILLIAM DE CANTELOWE, Knt. [see next].
ii. ROBERT DE CANTELOWE, of Meole Brace, Shropshire and Bingley, Yorkshire. In 1254 the king granted him permission to use the liberties and quittances in his manor of Bingley, Yorkshire as his father, William de Cantelowe, used by the king's charter. The same year he was granted free warren in all his demesne lands in Bingley, Yorkshire and Meules, Shropshire. Francisque-Michel Rdles Garcons 1 (1885): 470, 497. C.P.R 1247-1258 (1908): 305, 323.
iii. [MASTER] WALTER DE CANTELOWE, King's clerk, Archdeacon of Stafford, Bishop of Worcester. He was presented to a series of parish livings, i.e, Eyton in 1208, Burton and Worfield in 1215, Long Itchington, Rampisham, Preston, Priors Hardwick, and a moiety of Stokes in 1216, Hinxworth, Hertfordshire in 1219, Penrith, Cumberland in 1222, and Bulwick, Northamptonshire in 1227, and finally, on 22 July 1231, to a canonry and prebend in Lichfield Cathedral. He was evidently a pluralist, and as such was not wholly disinterested when, at the legatine council of 1237, he pleaded the cause of many noble pluralists, "who have until now lived honourably, giving what hospitality they could and dispensing alms with open doors," who were threatened with impoverishment by being reduced to a single benefice each. He served as king's proctor at the Roman court in 1227 and 1229. He acted as justice in eyre for several counties in 1232, and received a number of papal commissions to serve as a judge-delegate or to execute papal mandates. In January 1235 he was one of three envoys sent to France to bear truce proposals to King Louis IX and to swear on King Henry III's behalf to observe the conditions of the truce. He was elected as Bishop of Worcester 30 August 1236; his election received royal assent 9 September. In April 1237 he was ordained priest at Viterbo by Pope Gregory IX, who consecrated him 3 May. In October 1237 he was enthroned at Worcester in the presence of the papal legate, Cardinal Otto, the Archbishop of Canterbury, and the King and Queen of Scots. In 1237, as bishop-elect of Worcester, he again attended the papal court on the king's behalf. He proved himself a zealous diocesan bishop, sharing with Bishop Grosseteste of Lincoln a concern for the reform of abuses and the improvement of pastoral standards. The synodal statutes he promulgated for the Worcester diocese in 1240, frequently revised and updated, provided a model for the legislation of several of his episcopal colleagues. In 1240 he obtained papal sanction for a drive to remove married clergy from parishes and to deprive those who had succeeded their fathers in their benefices. He displayed the same energy in protecting and extending the temporal and spiritual rights of his see. He attended the Council of Lyons with other English prelates in 1245. In 1246 he stood with Robert Grosseteste in supporting the pope's right to receive financial aid from the clergy. In 1252 he supported Simon de Montfort against charges lodged by the king of extortion and mistreatment in Montfort's rule of Gascony. From 1255 onwards he was chief spokesman for the clerical opposition to King Henry's acceptance of the Sicilian crown for his second son, Edmund. In 1257 he was one of those sent to France to negotiate terms of a permanent peace. He played a leading role in the revolutionary events of the years 1258-65. At the Oxford parliament of June 1258 he was the only cleric chosen by the baronial side to serve on the committee of twenty-four which drafted the provisions of Oxford, and he was subsequently elected a member of the standing council imposed upon the king by the new constitution. In 1259 he was appointed one of the councillors to act as regents while the king was absent in France. Following King Henry's recovery of power in 1261, he remained a stalwart supporter of Montfort and an unyielding upholder of the provisions. He put his name to the baronial letters submitting the cause of the reformers to the arbitration of Louis IX, and his nephew, Thomas de Cantelowe, was entrusted with expounding the baronial case to Louis at Amiens. In March 1264, together with the bishops of Winchester, London, and Chichester, he held talks with the king's representatives at Brackley and Oxford, offering baronial acceptance of Louis' verdict on condition that King Henry expelled unacceptable aliens from court and allowed the council to nominate his ministers. In May, he and Henry de Sandwich, Bishop of London, accompanied Montfort's army on the march to Lewes, and on the eve of the battle made a last effort to mediate between Montfort and the king. But after this overture failed, Cantilupe exhorted Montfort's troops to confess their sins, gave them absolution, and blessed them. He was subsequently present at the Battles of Evesham, 1264, and Lewes, 1265. WALTER DE CANTELOWE, Bishop of Worcester, died at his manor of Blockley, Gloucestershire 12 Feb. 1266, and was buried by the monks beside the high altar in Worcester Cathedral. A zealous pastor, a scholar, and an idealist, as the spiritual mentor of one of the most radical political movements of the middle ages, he ranks among the greatest ecclesiastical leaders of his generation.

“WALTER DE CANTELOWE, of Brimpton, Berkshire, Adber and Leigh, Dorset, Fontley and Oakley, Hampshire, and Barwick, Camel, and Chilton Cantelo, Somerset. 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. WALTER DE CANTELOWE was living in 1205, when the king gave him a dolium of wine.

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.

“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.

“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.

In 1247, as William Marshal, of Norton, he reached agreement with William de Brackley, Prior of Luffield, whereby he quitclaimed the service of a pair of gilt spurs and suit of court every three week in respect of an estate at Monksbarn (in Whittlebury), Northamptonshire, so that the prior should thereafter hold of him in free alms, quit of all secular service. The same year he also reached agreement with the Templars regarding rent owed for land in Cowley, Oxfordshire. He was granted weekly markets to be held at the manors of Haselbury Plucknett, Somerset and Messingham, Lincolnshire in 1265. WILLIAM LE MARSHAL died Sept. 1265. His widow, Elizabeth, married (2nd) before 1274-5 (date of lawsuit) DAVID AP GRUFFUDD, Knt., Prince of North Wales, and, in right of his wife, of Foulsham, Norfolk, Colton, Staffordshire, etc., younger son of Gruffudd ap Llywelyn, by Senena ferch Cadadog. They had two sons, Llywelyn and Owain, and seven daughters, including Gwladus. By his mistress, Tangwystl, daughter of Owain Fflam, of Deheubarth, he also had an illegitimate son, Dafydd Goch. In 1242 his mother, Senena, agreed to give him and his brother, Roderick, as hostages to King Henry III of England. In 1252, as lord of Cwmwd Maen, he entered into a composition with the Abbot and convent of Bardsey. He presented to the church of Plumpton, Northamptonshire 24 Dec. 1273. In 1274-5 Hubert de Rully and Isabel his wife arraigned an assize of mort d'ancestor against David Fitz-Griffin touching a mill in Foulsham, Norfolk. In 1275-6 Hubert de Ruyly and Isabel his wife, and Nicholas de Pulham and Aveline his wife arraigned an assize of mort d'ancestor against David ab Gruffud and Elizabeth his wife touching a mill in Foulsham, Norfolk. In 1278-9 William son of Alexander de Blacoined [Blakesley] arraigned an assize of novel disseisin against David ab Gruffud and others touching a tenement in Great Blakesley, Northamptonshire. In the same year Albric de Wytlebiry arraigned a similar assize against David ab Gruffud and others touching a tenement in Great Blakesley, Northamptonshire. In 1279 David and his wife, Elizabeth, sued her step-son, John le Marshal, for a third of the manor of Colton, Staffordshire as the dower of Elizabeth; John stated he only held a rent of 12s. of which he offered a third. In 1280 the king seised the third part of the manor of Haselbury, Somerset, which David and his wife, Elizabeth, held as the dower of the said Elizabeth of the lands which were of William Marshal her late husband; later the same year the king wishing to grant indulgence to the said David and Elizabeth ordered that the third part of the manor be restored to them. In 1282 David suddenly surprised the Castle of Hawarden, killed many of the knights and squires who formed the garrison, and carried off Roger de Clifford, the Justiciary, as a prisoner into the hills. DAVID AP GRUFFUDD, Prince of North Wales, was executed for treason 3 October 1283. His widow, as "Lady Elizabeth de Ferrers," presented to the church of Plumpton, Northamptonshire in 1285. She presented to the church of Greens Norton, Northamptonshire 20 Dec. 1296, which presentation was disputed by King Edward I, as guardian of William, heir of John Marshal.

2. “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.

2. “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. The house at that place had been founded by his ancestors; and for those reasons he chose it for his wife's burial-place.

1. “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.

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 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.

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.

2. “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.

Dying young, she left no offspring by the earl, as was also the case with his former wife, the daughter of Alan of Galway, who died previously, leaving him only female children. The first mentioned countess died on the 20th of Oct., and was buried at Brackley, where the earl's former wife was also buried. The house at that place had been founded by his ancestors; and for those reasons he chose it for his wife's burial-place.

1. “Royal Ancestry: A Study in Colonial & Medieval Families,” Douglas Richardson (2013):
“ROBERT DE MUSCEGROS, Knt., of Charlton Musgrove, Norton, and Stowell, Somerset, Boddington and Kemerton, Gloucestershire, Great Finborough, Suffolk, etc., Constable of Bristol Castle, son and heir, born about 1252 (aged 23 in 1275). He fought in Wales in 1272 and 1277. He had livery of his father's lands 4 June 1275. He married (1st) before 1276 an unidentified wife, ___. They had one daughter, Hawise. In October 1275 Robert handed over his castle of Bunratty in Ireland to the king, on condition that as soon as the contention between the king and his subjects in Ireland is settled, and the said Robert has paid all expenses for its repair, munition, upkeep, and custody while in the king's hand, it shall be restored to him or his heirs. In 1276-7 John Herreward arraigned an assize of novel disseisin against him and others touching a tenement in Thatcham, Berkshire. In July 1276 Thomas de Clare granted him the manors of Aldworth, Compton, and Hampstead Norris, Berkshire, Alvescot, Oxfordshire, and Cottesmore, Rutland, in exchange for Bunratty Castle, Tradree cantred, and Ui-Corbmaig, all in County Clare, in Ireland. In 1277-8 Robert Gobald arraigned an assize of mort d'ancestor against him touching a messuage and land in Sowell, Somerset. He married (2nd) AGNES DE FERRERS, daughter of William de Ferrers, Knt., 5th Earl of Derby, by his 2nd wife, Margaret (or Margery), daughter and co-heiress of Roger de Quincy, Knt., 2nd Earl of Winchester, hereditary Constable of Scotland [see FERRERS 7 for her ancestry]. Her maritagium included the manor of Chinnor, Oxfordshire. They had no issue. In 1278-9 John Bochenel arraigned an assize of novel disseisin against him and Thomas de Clare regarding common of pasture in Hampstead Cyfrevast, Berkshire. Sometime before 1279, he and Sir Robert de Tibetot witnessed a charter of Pain de Chaworth to Godstow Abbey, Oxfordshire. SIR ROBERT DE MUSCEGROS died 27 Dec. 1280. His widow, Agnes, had dower assigned to her 9 May 1281. In her widowhood, Agnes issued a charter naming her husband, Robert de Muscegros, and her grandfather, Roger de Quincy, Earl of Winchester. Sometime before October 1283, Richard de Bois, custodian of Corfe Castle, Dorset bought the land late of Robert de Muscegros at Gotowre super Mare [in Studland] and in the nearby warren of Corfe, Dorset for the king's uses. Agnes had license to remarry for a fine of 200 marks 17 April 1287. She died without issue before 1297.
