She married before Sept. 1197 WILLIAM LONGESPÉE, Knt., Earl of Salisbury, Lieutenant of Gascony, 1202, Seneschal of Avranches, 1203, Constable of Dover Castle and Warden of the Cinque Ports, 1204-6, Sheriff of Wiltshire, 1204-7, 1213-26, Lord of the Honour and Castle of Eye, 1205, Sheriff of Cambridgeshire and Huntingdonshire, 1212-16, Sheriff of Devon, 1217-18, Sheriff of Somersetshire, 1217, Sheriff of Lincolnshire, 1217-21, Sheriff of Shropshire and Staffordshire, 1223-4, Constable of Portchester, Southampton, and Winchester Castles, 1224, Keeper of the March of Wales, illegitimate son of Henry II, King of England, by his mistress, Ida, daughter of Ralph de Tony, of Flamstead, Hertfordshire [see ENGLAND 4 for his ancestry]. He was born say 1175-80. They had four sons, William, Knt. [Earl of Salisbury], Stephen, Knt., Richard [Canon of Salisbury], and Nicholas [Bishop of Salisbury], and six daughters, Ida, Mary, Isabel, Ela, Ida (2nd of name), and Pernel... Children of William Longespée, Knt., by Ela of Salisbury... viii. ELA LONGSPEE, married THOMAS OF WARWICK, Knt., 6th Earl of Warwick, son and heir of Henry, Earl of Warwick, by his 1st wife, Margery, daughter of Herity d'Oilly. He was presumably of age in 1229. They had no issue. He carried the third sword at the Coronation of Queen Eleanor in 1236. He died 26 (or 27) June 1242, and was buried in St. Mary's, Warwick. In 1247 his widow, Ela, Countess of Warwick, and Simon Fitz Simon sued John de Plescy, Earl of Warwick, and his wife, Margery, in a plea of warranty. Ela married (2nd) after Nov. 1254 and before 23 March 1254/5 (as his 2nd wife) PHILIP BASSET, Knt., of Soham, Cambridgeshire, Wycombe, Buckinghamshire, Maplederwell, Hampshire, Kirdington, Oxfordshire, Woking, Surrey, Wootton Basset, Wiltshire, etc., Constable of Colchester, Corfe, Devizes, Hadleigh, Oxford, and Sherbome Castles, 1259, Justiciar of England, Keeper of the Tower of London, younger son of Alan Basset, of Wootton Basset, Wiltshire, Wycombe, Buckinghamshire, Maplederwell, Hampshire, Woking, Surrey, etc., by Aline, daughter and co-heiress Philip de Gay, of Wootton Bassett and Broadtown, Wiltshire and Northbrook, Oxfordshire. They had no issue. In the period, 1230-41, his brother, Gilbert Basset, conveyed to him land in Middleton, late of Thomas Basset their older brother. In 1233 he helped free Hubert de Burgh, Earl of Kent, from captivity in Devizes Castle in Wiltshire; in return in 1234 Hubert de Burgh gave him 176 acres of his demesne land in Soham, Cambridgeshite, with lordship over numerous tenants. In 1238-9 he was granted lands in Soham and Fordham, Cambridgeshire by Peter de Bendenges and his wife Burga. In 1242 he was appointed one of the Constables of the Host, then about to set out for Poitou. In consideration of his services there, he was granted the manor of Kersey, Suffolk -- 1243. In 1245 he was appointed ambassador to the Council of Lyons. About 1245 he obtained a license to build a chapel in Soham, Cambridgeshire and to hear service therein. In 1252 William de Wydindon demised to him land and wood of `Okregge' in West Wycombe, Buckinghamshire for a term of seven years; Philip promised to keep William in his service, providing him food and clothing as one of his own esquires and supplying him with another horse if his own died; the grant was made perpetual in 1254. He fought in Wales in 1258. Philip was heir in 1259 to his older brother, Fulk Basset, Bishop of London. In 1260 Simon, Abbot of Bury St. Edmunds, demised the manor of Stapleford Abbots, Essex to him. The same year, at the instance of his cousin, Ela, Countess of Warwick, the king granted the abbess and nuns of Lacock Abbey quittance from cheminage in all the king's forests in Wiltshire and Gloucestershire. In 1261 he had a grant of 1000 marks per annum to maintain him in the office of Justiciar. About 1261 Laurence de Sanford granted him the manor of Lecquid, Glamorgan, Wales. In 1261-2 Thomas de Awelton and Agnes his wife conveyed lands in Doddington and Northwode, Cambridgeshire to Philip and his wife, Ela. In 1262 John de Burgh and Hawise his wife leased lands in Soham, Fordharn, Landwade, Wykes, Hanney, etc., Cambridgeshire to Sir Philip Basset for a term of 16 years for the sum of 400/. in hand. In 1262 Philip leased land in Rotherwick, Hampshire from Richard de la Rugge. The same year Richard, King of the Romans, quitclaimed to him all suit of court at Wallingford, Berkshire for life. He fought on the king's side at the Battle of Lewes in 1264, where the king was taken prisoner by the barons. In 1266 Thomas de Gay, rector of the church of Wootton Basset, Wiltshire, granted Philip his free chapel at Fasterne, Wiltshire, with renunciation of all right to sell the offerings made therein; the said Philip to pay 20s. yearly to the parish church of Wootton. In 1267 the king granted him for life a deer leap at his new park below his town of Wootton Basset, Wiltshire, and another at his old park below his manor of "la Fasteme." In 1267-8 his wife, Ela, gave property in Stinkinglane, in the parish of St. Nicholas de Macellis, London to the City of London for the use of the Franciscans. At an unknown date, Richard son of Richard de la Wyz released to him all his right in a meadow with pasture for six cattle in Compton, Wiltshire. Sometime before 1271 John de Burgh granted that he pay him 20s. yearly to the custody of Dover Castle, due from the manor of Beeston, which Philip holds from him. SIR PHILIP BASSET died testate 29 October 1271, and was buried at Stanley, Wiltshire. In 1278 his widow, Ela, complained that when she sent John the reeve of Claverdon to Brandon Castle, Warwickshire with a letter for 10 marks which Thebaud de Verdun owed her as relief for the manor, Eleanor, widow of John de Verdun (step-mother of Thebaud de Verdun) and her men took away the letter and imprisoned him for one night. In 1280 Ela was summoned to show by what warrant she took the fines of the breaches of the assize of bread and ale in Maplederwell, Hampshire, and to show cause why she should not permit her villeins of Maplederwell to make suit at the king's hundred court of Basingstoke. The same year she sued Hugh de Courtenay and his wife Eleanor (Ela's step-granddaughter) for one messuage and lands in Wootton Courtney, Somerset, which she claimed to be her right by the gift of Hugh de Neville; the jury found in favor of Hugh and Eleanor. In 1289 Ela, Countess of Warwick, was summoned to answer Hugh le Despenser on a plea as to why she had committed waste in the woods which she held in dower of Hugh's inheritance in Compton Bassett and Wolfhale, Wiltshire to Hugh's disinheritance. In 1290 she granted a messuage and 1/2 virgate of land in Nateley Eastrop, a croft of eight acres in Up Nately, and a messuage and garden in Maplederwell, all in Hampshire, to John, Bishop of Winchester, for use of a chantry and maintenance of a chaplain in the chapel of Maplederwell. In 1293 Hugh le Despenser confirmed the grant of Lady Ela Longespée, late the wife of Philip Basset, to Adam de Stock and Roger de Stock his brother of lands in Wolfhale, Wiltshire which she held in dower of Hugh's inheritance. Ela, Countess of Warwick, died 9 Feb. 1297/8, and was buried in Oseney Abbey, Oxfordshire. Sandford Gen. Hist. of the Kings of England (1677): 116.

She became the second time a widow in 1271, and survived for many years after, a very wealthy lady, having no children by either husband. In 1285 she was returned as holding the manor of Hoke-Norton in Oxfordshire, in capite, by the sergeantry of carvng before our lord the King on Christmas Day, when she had for her fee the King's knife with which she cut. We find several records of her piety, particularly in Oxford and its vicinity; for she seems to have lived during her widowhood at Headington, only two miles from that city. In the year 1287 we find the Countess of Warwick visiting Lacock, on which occasion she quit-claimed to the abbey her title in the manor of Hatherop. She died on Sunday Feb. 6, 1297, and was buried at Ousney Abbey, near Oxford, where Leland saw her tomb, 'a very fair flat marble, in the habit of a vowess, graven in a copper plate.' Two Seals of this lady are extant. The first closely resembles that of her Mother, having on one side her own figure holding a hawk, and on the other side the arms of Longespé in a shield, with a lion above and below; it is inscribed on both side S.

In her second Seal, the coat of Basset (wavy Or and Gules) is substituted for that of Longespe; the latter is placed in her hand, on the obverse, instead of the hawk, and is balanced by the coat of Newburgh, (checky Or and Azure, a chevron Ermine) placed over her right shoulder.

7102	RESEARCH_NOTES: 1. “Royal Ancestry: A Study in Colonial & Medieval Families,” Douglas Richardson (2013): “ELA OF SALISBURY, suo jure Countess of Salisbury, daughter and heiress, born in or about 1191. She married before Sept. 1197 WILLIAM LONGESPÉE, Knt., Earl of Salisbury, Lieutenant of Gascony, 1202, Seneschal of Avranches, 1203, Constable of Dover Castle and Warden of the Cinque Ports, 1204-6, Sheriff of Wiltshire, 1204-7, 1213-26, Lord of the Honour and Castle of Eye, 1205, Sheriff of Cambridgeshire and Huntingdonshire, 1212-16, Sheriff of Devon, 1217-18, Sheriff of Somersetshire, 1217, Sheriff of Lincolnshire, 1217-21, Sheriff of Shropshire and Staffordshire, 1223-4, Constable of Portchester, Southampton, and Winchester Castles, 1224, Keeper of the March of Wales, illegitimate son of Henry II, King of England, by his mistress, Ida, daughter of Ralph de Tony, of Flamstead, Hertfordshire [see ENGLAND 4 for his ancestry]. He was born say 1175-80. They had four sons, William, Knt. [Earl of Salisbury], Stephen, Knt., Richard [Canon of Salisbury], and Nicholas [Bishop of Salisbury], and six daughters, Ida, Mary, Isabel, Ela, Ida (2nd of name), and Pernel. In 1191 he was granted the manor of Kirton, Lincolnshire by his brother, King Richard I. He was present at the Coronation of his brother, King John, in 1199. In 1200 he witnessed the homage of William the Lion, King of Scots to King John at Lincoln. In 1202 he went on a diplomatic mission to France. In 1204 he escorted Llywelyn ap Iorwerth, Prince of North Wales, to the king. In 1206 he was in the escort of William the Lion, King of Scotland, to meet King John at York. In 1209 he headed an embassy to the prelates and princes of Germany, on behalf of the King's nephew, Otto, King of the Romans. In 1212 he and his wife, Ela, instituted suit in the king's court against Ela's kinsman, Henry de Bohun, for the entire barony of Trowbridge, Wiltshire, Henry's chief fief. The king assumed control of the honour, but allowed Earl William's agents to levy scutage from its tenants. In 1213 Earl William was joint commander of an expedition to help the Count of Flanders against France. In 1214, as Marshal of the King of England, he commanded forces which recovered nearly all of Flanders for the Count; after which he and the Counts of Flanders and Boulogne were captured at the Battle of Bouvines and thrown into prison in chains. He was released before May 1215, and returned to England. In 1215 he was present at Runnymeade on the king's side at the signing of the Magna Carta [Great Charter]. He was granted the manor of Andover, Hampshire in 1215 by his brother, King John. He remained a zealous royalist until June 1216, when he surrendered Salisbury Castle to Prince Louis. He returned his allegiance to the king before 7 March 1216/7, when his lands were restored to him. In August 1217 he was with Hubert de Burgh in the victory over the French fleet off Thanet. In 1217 he was granted the manor of Aldbourne, Wiltshire by the king. In 1220 he and his wife laid the 4th and 5th stones at the founding of the new Cathedral at Salisbury, Wiltshire. In 1222 he gave the manor of Heythrop, Gloucestershire to certain monks and brethren of the Carthusian order, and assigned part of his revenues towards the building of a monastery for them there. In 1223 he took part in the successful expedition against Llywelyn. In 1225 he went with Richard, Earl of Cornwall as a supervisory commander on a successful expedition to Gascony. He gave Bradenstoke Priory the advowson of the church of Rogerville (Seine-Inférieure), together with land and rents there and in Sandouville (Seine-Inférieure), and a virgate of land in Chitterne and one in Amesbury, Wiltshire. At an unspecified date William, with consent of Ela his wife, granted the land called "Chandewyk" to William de Nevill, which property he had by grant of Jordan de Saint Martin. SIR WILLIAM LONGESPÉE, Earl of Salisbury, died at Salisbury Castle, Wiltshire 7 March 1225/6, and was buried in Salisbury Cathedral, Wiltshire. He left a will dated Midlent 1225. Among other bequests he left 200 marks to the new building of the Salisbury Cathedral Church, plus £200 to the building of St. Mary Bentleywood, Wiltshire, together with his traveling chapel-furniture, breviary, and numerous head of cattle. In 1226 Humphrey de Bohun, Earl of Hereford, brought an action against Earl William's widow, Ela, over the castle and honour of Trowbridge, Wiltshire, including lands in Bishtopstrow, East Coulston, Manningford Bruce (in Wilsford), Newton Tony, Staverton (in Trowbridge), Trowbridge, and Wilsford, Wiltshire; the suit was settled by compromise in 1230, whereby the two parties divided the honour between them. In Jan. 1227 the king transferred Salisbury castle, together with the shrievalty of Wiltshire, to Ela during his pleasure, which she held until 1228. Further evidence of Ela's high standing in royal favour is indicated by the king's regular gifts of venison to her throughout the late 1220s, including one in Sept. 1227 to celebrate the forthcoming nuptials of her daughter, Mary. In 1227 the monks of Heythrop not liking their habitation, prevailed on Ela to remove them to Hinton, Somerset, where, in her park, she began a monastery for them, which was completed in 1232. In 1227 she granted all her land west of Bendeywood, Wiltshire to the Hospital of St. Nicholas' Hospital for the sustenance of the poor and infirm. In 1229 Countess Ela founded Lacock Abbey, Wiltshire. In April 1231 Ela secured custody of the county of Wiltshire and Salisbury Castle for the term of her life for a fine of 200 marks, the king stipulating that neither the countess or her heirs possessed any legal claim to the castle and county by hereditary right. She was co-heiress c.1232-3 to her mother, Eleanor de Vitré, by which she inherited an interest in the manor of Cowlinge, Suffolk. In Feb. 1236 her son and heir, William Longespée, guaranteed her gifts to Lacock Abbey, while she agreed to surrender all her lands, rents and rights to him on 1 Nov. following. On 25 October 1236 Ela, Countes of Salisbury, reached agreement with William Longespée, her first born son, that she may grant a moiety of the manor of Heddington, Wiltshire to Lacock Priory, which property fell to her on the death of Maud de Mandeville, Countess of Essex and Hereford. In the winter 1236-7 she resigned her custody of the county of Wiltshire. She subsequently entered her religious foundation at Lacock, where she took the veil before spring 1238. She served as abbess there from 1240 to 1257. In 1249 she gave formal license to her son, William, to depart on a crusade. In 1250, on the eve of the battle in which he was killed in Egypt, she saw a vision of him standing fully armed entering heaven, being joyfully received by attendant angels. She died 24 August 1261, and was buried in the convent choir beneath the altar at Lacock Abbey. Note: William Longespée, Earl of Salisbury has long been known to have been an illegitimate child of Henry II, King of England, allegedly by his mistress, Rosamond Clifford. As early as 1902, however, it was suspected that William Longespée's mother was connected to the Akeny family, a cadet branch of the Tony family [see Wordsworth 15th Cent. Cartulary of St. Nicholas' Hospital, Salisbury (1902): xxv, footnote 1]. New evidence has surfaced in recent years which proves conclusively that William Longespée was the son of King Henry II by another mistress, a certain Ida de Tony, afterwards wife of Roger le Bigod (died 1221), Earl of Norfolk [see C.P. 9 (1936): 586-589 (sub Norfolk); Kemp Reading Abbey Cartularies 1 (Camden 4th Ser. 31) (1986): 3711. For evidence that William Longespée was the son of Countess Ida le Bigod, see London Cartulary of Bradenstoke Priory (Wiltshire Rec. Soc. 35) (1979): 143, 188, which includes two charters in which Earl William Longespée specifically names his mother, Countess Ida. It is known from contemporary records that Countess Ida le Bigod had a younger son named Ralph le Bigod [see Thompson Libor Vita Ecclesia Dunelmenis (Surtees Soc. 136) (1923): fo. 63b]. Among the English prisoners captured at the Battle of Bouvines in 1214, there was a certain Ralph [le] Bigod, who a contemporary French record refers to as "brother" [that is, half-brother] of William Longespée, Earl of Salisbury [see Recueil des Historiens des Gaules et de la France 17 (1878): 101 (Guillelmus Armoricus: "Isti sunt Prisiones (capti in bello Bovinensi) ... Radulphus Bigot, frater Comitis Saresburiensis"); see also Malo Un Grand Feudataire, Renaud de Dammartin et la Coalition de Bouvines (1898):199, 209, which author identified Ralph le Bigod as brother of William Longespée, Earl of Salisbury]. For evidence that Countess Ida was a member of the Tony family, see Morris Bigod Earls of Norfolk (2005): 2, who cites a royal inquest dated 1275, in which jurors affirmed that Earl Roger le Bigod was given Ida de Tony in marriage by King Henry II, together with the manors of Acle, Halvergate, and South Walsharn, Norfolk [which properties were formerly held by Earl Roger's father] [see Rotuli Hundredorum 1 (1812): 504, 537]. Morris shows that Earl Roger le Bigod received these manors by writ of the king, he having held them for three quarters of a year at Michaelmas 1182 [see PR 28 Henry II, 1181-1182 (Pipe Roll Soc.) (1910): 64]. This appears to pinpoint to marriage of Ida de Tony and Earl Roger le Bigod as having occurred about Christmas 1181. As for Countess Ida's parentage, it seems certain that she was a daughter of Ralph de Tony (died 1162), of Flamstead, Hertfordshire, by his wife, Margaret (b. c.1125, living 1185), daughter of Robert of Meulan, Knt., 1st Earl of Leicester [see C.P. 7 (1929): 530, footnote e (incorrectly dates Ralph and Margaret's marriage as "after 1155" based on the misdating of a charter - correction provided by Ray Phair); C.P. 12(1) (1953): 764-765 (sub Tony); Power Norman Frontier in the 12th & Early 13th Cents. (2004): 525 (Tosny ped.)]. For evidence which supports Ida's placement as a child of Ralph de Tony, several facts may be noted. First, Countess Ida and her husband, Roger le Bigod, are known to have named children, Ralph and Margaret, presumably in honor of Ida's parents, Ralph and Margaret de Tony [see Thompson Libor Vita Ecclesia Dunelmenis (Surtees Soc. 136) (1923): fo. 63b1. Countess Ida was herself evidently named in honor of Ralph de Tony's mother, Ida of Hainault. Second, Morris notes that Ida de Tony was a royal ward at the time of her marriage to Roger le Bigod, meaning she was in the king's gift and that her father was previously a tenant in chief of the king who presumably would have died sometime between 1161 and 1182 [Morris, ibid.]. The only plausible male candidate in the Tony family who could fit to be Ida's father who was also a tenant in chief of the king is Ralph de Tony. Next, William Longespée and his descendants had a long standing association with the family of Roger de Akeny, of Garsington, Oxfordshire, which Roger was a younger brother of Ralph de Tony (died 1162) [see C.P. 8 (1932): chart foll. 464; 14 (1998): 614; Loyd Origins of Some Anglo-Norman Fams. (1951): 2; VCH Oxford 5 (1957): 138; Harper-Bill Dodnash Priory Charters (Suffolk Rec. Soc. 16) (1998): 34-37, 39-40, 72-73; Fam. Hist. 18 (1995-97): 47-64; 19 (1998): 125-129]. Lastly, Roger le Bigod and his step-son, William Longespée, both had associations with William the lion, King of Scots, which connection can be readily explained by virtue of King William's wife, Ermengarde, being sister to Constance de Beaumont, wife of Countess Ida's presumed brother, Roger de Tony [see C.P. 12(1) (1953): 760-769 (sub Tony)]. King William the Lion was likewise near related to both of Countess Ida's presumed parents, her father by a shared descent from Countess Judith, the niece of King William the Conqueror, and her mother by a shared descent from Isabel de Vermandois, Countess of Surrey. Roger le Bigod and William Longespée were both present with other English relations of William the lion at an important gathering at Lincoln in 1200, when William the lion paid homage to King John of England [see Stubbs Chronica Magistri Rogeri de Houedene 4 (Rolls Ser. 51) (1871): 141-142]. Thus, naming patterns, familial and political associations give strong evidence that Ida, wife of Earl Roger le Bigod, was a daughter of Ralph de Tony. Sandford Gen.

Mayo and Kilkea and Tirsteldermot, co. Connacht, Ireland, 2nd son. He witnessed a charter for Baldwin III, Count of Guisnes, in 1241. The same year he acknowledged he owed Richard Basset a debt of 20 marks. He married between 8 Feb. 1242/3 and 16 Dec. 1244 EMELINE DE RIDELISFORD, widow of Hugh de Lacy, 1st Earl of Ulster (died 1242), and daughter and co-heiress of Walter de Ridelisford, of Bray, Admekin (or Headford), Corofin, and Tristledermot (or Casdedermot), Ireland, by his wife, Armor. They had two daughters, Ela and Emeline. In 1243/6 he witnessed a charter of his cousin, Richard, Earl of Cornwall, to Shaftesbury Abbey. In 1247 he was pardoned a debt of £33 and a half mark by Licoria wife of David of Oxford the Jew. He presented to the church of Great Gaddesden, Hertfordshire in 1247. He took the cross in 1250. In 1251 he had a dispute with the Prior of St. Swithun's concerning lands in Hyneton. In 1255 he went to Gascony with Edward the king's son. In 1258 he was granted wardship of the land and heirs of his late brother-in-law, Walter Fitz Robert, by Edward the king's son for 3,000 marks. At some undetermined date, he was a benefactor of St. Giles Priory at Flamstead, Hertfordshire. SIR STEPHEN LONGESPÉE died testate shortly before 25 June 1260, and was buried at Lacock Priory, Wiltshire. In 1262 his widow, Emeline, conveyed one messuage, various lands, and pasture for eight cattle in Purscaule, Dorset to Juliane, Abbess of Shaftesbury. Emeline subsequently erected a chapel at Wanborough, Wiltshire in 1270, and endowed it for the maintenance of two chaplains. In 1274-5 Hugh le Mouner arraigned an assize against her touching a pond levied in Denford, Berkshire. In the same period, Agnes daughter of Walter le Clere arraigned an assize of novel disseisin against her touching a tenement in King's Sutton, Northamptonshire.

Child of Stephen Longespée, Knt., by Emeline de Ridelisford: a. EMELINE LONGESPÉE, 2nd daughter, born about 1252 (aged 24 in 1276). She married (as his 2nd wife) before 24 July 1276 MAURICE FITZ MAURICE, Knt., Justiciar of Ireland, 1272-3, son and heir of Maurice Fitz Gerald, 2nd Baron of Offaly in Ireland, Justiciar of Ireland, by his wife, Juliane. He was born about 1238. They had no issue. He married (1st) shortly before 28 October 1259 (date of dispensation to remove impediment to marriage) MAUD DE PRENDERGAST [see PRENDERGAST 8], born about 1242, widow successively of David Fitz Maurice (died 1249) and Maurice de Rochford (died 1258), and daughter and coheiress of Gerald de Prendergast (died 1251), of Beauvoir (or Carrigaline) and Ballacha in Orrery, co. Cork, Ireland, by his 2nd wife, ___, daughter of Richard de Burgh, lord of Connacht, Justiciar of Ireland [see PRENDERGAST 7 for her ancestry]. By his 1st wife, Maud de Prendergast, he had two daughters, Juliane (wife of Thomas de Clare, Knt., lord of Thomond in Connacht [see BADLESMERE 8]) and Amabil. He obtained lands in Connaught by feoffment of his father. In 1259 he was granted Athlone Castle and the shrievalty of Connaught. In 1260 he succeeded in plundering the O'Donnells, but was defeated in an expedition against Conor O'Brian at Coill-Berrain in Munster. He was summoned to England in 1262. In 1264 he was ordered to secure the Irish lands of the young Earl of Gloucester. In 1264 he took the justiciar, Thebaud le Boteler (or Butler), and John Cogan prisoners. He was twice granted letters of protection to England in 1266. In 1272 or 1273 he led another expedition against Brian Ruadh O'Brien. In 1276-7 Maurice and his wife, Emeline, brought an assize of novel disseisin against Humphrey de Bohun, Earl of Hereford and Essex, and others regarding a tenement in Denford (in Kintbury), Berkshire. In 1277 he accompanied his son-in-law, Thomas de Clare, against Brian Ruadh O'Brien, King of 'Thomond; Brian was taken prisoner and beheaded. SIR MAURICE FITZ MAURICE died testate shortly before 2 Sept. 1277. In 1292 his widow, Emeline, sued Thomas Fitz Maurice for the manor of Killorglin, co. Kerry, Ireland, which she claimed as her right by the gift of Christina de Marsh who previously had enfeoffed her and Maurice her late husband; the defendant vouched to warranty Gilbert de Clare, minor son and heir of Thomas de Clare. His widow, Emeline, was a legatee in the 1294 will of her uncle, Nicholas Longespée, Bishop of Salisbury. In 1298-9 she had a suit with John de Inteberge about lands at Kilcaly, near Limerick. In 1305-6 she settled the manor of Denford (in Kintbury), Berkshire on herself, with reversion to her great niece, Maud la Zouche, then betrothed to Robert de Holand, Knt., afterwards 1st Lord Holand. In 1314 she was granted the manor of Avington, Berkshire for life by Thomas, Earl of Lancaster. She presented to the chapel of Wanborough, Wiltshire in 1316.

They presumably had one son, Nicholas (living 1294). Before 1277 Alice's lands in Little Stanmore, Middlesex were fraudulently acquired by the moneylender, Adam de Stratton. She presumably married (2nd) WILLIAM DE BARNEVILLE, of Harrow, Middlesex. They had one son, John, of Little Stanmore and Oakington (in Harrow), Middlesex (occurs 1294-1337), and one daughter, Margaret, both of whom were legatees in the 1294 will of their grandfather, Bishop Nicholas Longespée. William (husband of Alice) was also appointed one of the executors of the 1294 will of Bishop Longespée. On Adam de Stratton's disgrace in 1290, Alice presumably recovered her lands, as her son, John de Barneville, later had lands in this parish [see C.P.R. 1313-1317 (1898): 558)].

ELA LONGSPEE, married THOMAS OF WARWICK, Knt., 6th Earl of Warwick, son and heir of Henry, Earl of Warwick, by his 1st wife, Margery, daughter of Herity d'Oilly. He was presumably of age in 1229. They had no issue. He carried the third sword at the Coronation of Queen Eleanor in 1236. He died 26 (or 27) June 1242, and was buried in St. Mary's, Warwick. In 1247 his widow, Ela, Countess of Warwick, and Simon Fitz Simon sued John de Plescy, Earl of Warwick, and his wife, Margery, in a plea of warranty. Ela married (2nd) after Nov. 1254 and before 23 March 1254/5 (as his 2nd wife) PHILIP BASSET, Knt., of Soham, Cambridgeshire, Wycombe, Buckinghamshire, Maplederwell, Hampshire, Kirdington, Oxfordshire, Woking, Surrey, Wootton Basset, Wiltshire, etc., Constable of Colchester, Corfe, Devizes, Hadleigh, Oxford, and Sherbome Castles, 1259, Justiciar of England, Keeper of the Tower of London, younger son of Alan Basset, of Wootton Basset, Wiltshire, Wycombe, Buckinghamshire, Maplederwell, Hampshire, Woking, Surrey, etc., by Aline, daughter and co-heiress Philip de Gay, of Wootton Bassett and Broadtown, Wiltshire and Northbrook, Oxfordshire. They had no issue. In the period, 1230-41, his brother, Gilbert Basset, conveyed to him land in Middleton, late of Thomas Basset their older brother. In 1233 he helped free Hubert de Burgh, Earl of Kent, from captivity in Devizes Castle in Wiltshire; in return in 1234 Hubert de Burgh gave him 176 acres of his demesne land in Soham, Cambridgeshite, with lordship over numerous tenants. In 1238-9 he was granted lands in Soham and Fordham, Cambridgeshire by Peter de Bendenges and his wife Burga. In 1242 he was appointed one of the Constables of the Host, then about to set out for Poitou. In consideration of his services there, he was granted the manor of Kersey, Suffolk -- 1243. In 1245 he was appointed ambassador to the Council of Lyons. About 1245 he obtained a license to build a chapel in Soham, Cambridgeshire and to hear service therein. In 1252 William de Wydindon demised to him land and wood of `Okregge' in West Wycombe, Buckinghamshire for a term of seven years; Philip promised to keep William in his service, providing him food and clothing as one of his own esquires and supplying him with another horse if his own died; the grant was made perpetual in 1254. He fought in Wales in 1258. Philip was heir in 1259 to his older brother, Fulk Basset, Bishop of London. In 1260 Simon, Abbot of Bury St. Edmunds, demised the manor of Stapleford Abbots, Essex to him. The same year, at the instance of his cousin, Ela, Countess of Warwick, the king granted the abbess and nuns of Lacock Abbey quittance from cheminage in all the king's forests in Wiltshire and Gloucestershire. In 1261 he had a grant of 1000 marks per annum to maintain him in the office of Justiciar. About 1261 Laurence de Sanford granted him the manor of Lecquid, Glamorgan, Wales. In 1261-2 Thomas de Awelton and Agnes his wife conveyed lands in Doddington and Northwode, Cambridgeshire to Philip and his wife, Ela. In 1262 John de Burgh and Hawise his wife leased lands in Soham, Fordharn, Landwade, Wykes, Hanney, etc., Cambridgeshire to Sir Philip Basset for a term of 16 years for the sum of 400/. in hand. In 1262 Philip leased land in Rotherwick, Hampshire from Richard de la Rugge. The same year Richard, King of the Romans, quitclaimed to him all suit of court at Wallingford, Berkshire for life. He fought on the king's side at the Battle of Lewes in 1264, where the king was taken prisoner by the barons. In 1266 Thomas de Gay, rector of the church of Wootton Basset, Wiltshire, granted Philip his free chapel at Fasterne, Wiltshire, with renunciation of all right to sell the offerings made therein; the said Philip to pay 20s. yearly to the parish church of Wootton. In 1267 the king granted him for life a deer leap at his new park below his town of Wootton Basset, Wiltshire, and another at his old park below his manor of "la Fasteme." In 1267-8 his wife, Ela, gave property in Stinkinglane, in the parish of St. Nicholas de Macellis, London to the City of London for the use of the Franciscans. At an unknown date, Richard son of Richard de la Wyz released to him all his right in a meadow with pasture for six cattle in Compton, Wiltshire. Sometime before 1271 John de Burgh granted that he pay him 20s. yearly to the custody of Dover Castle, due from the manor of Beeston, which Philip holds from him. SIR PHILIP BASSET died testate 29 October 1271, and was buried at Stanley, Wiltshire. In 1278 his widow, Ela, complained that when she sent John the reeve of Claverdon to Brandon Castle, Warwickshire with a letter for 10 marks which Thebaud de Verdun owed her as relief for the manor, Eleanor, widow of John de Verdun (step-mother of Thebaud de Verdun) and her men took away the letter and imprisoned him for one night. In 1280 Ela was summoned to show by what warrant she took the fines of the breaches of the assize of bread and ale in Maplederwell, Hampshire, and to show cause why she should not permit her villeins of Maplederwell to make suit at the king's hundred court of Basingstoke. The same year she sued Hugh de Courtenay and his wife Eleanor (Ela's step-granddaughter) for one messuage and lands in Wootton Courtney, Somerset, which she claimed to be her right by the gift of Hugh de Neville; the jury found in favor of Hugh and Eleanor. In 1289 Ela, Countess of Warwick, was summoned to answer Hugh le Despenser on a plea as to why she had committed waste in the woods which she held in dower of Hugh's inheritance in Compton Bassett and Wolfhale, Wiltshire to Hugh's disinheritance. In 1290 she granted a messuage and 1/2 virgate of land in Nateley Eastrop, a croft of eight acres in Up Nately, and a messuage and garden in Maplederwell, all in Hampshire, to John, Bishop of Winchester, for use of a chantry and maintenance of a chaplain in the chapel of Maplederwell. In 1293 Hugh le Despenser confirmed the grant of Lady Ela Longespée, late the wife of Philip Basset, to Adam de Stock and Roger de Stock his brother of lands in Wolfhale, Wiltshire which she held in dower of Hugh's inheritance. Ela, Countess of Warwick, died 9 Feb. 1297/8, and was buried in Oseney Abbey, Oxfordshire. Sandford Gen. Hist. of the Kings of England (1677): 116.

She became the second time a widow in 1271, and survived for many years after, a very wealthy lady, having no children by either husband. In 1285 she was returned as holding the manor of Hoke-Norton in Oxfordshire, in capite, by the sergeantry of carvng before our lord the King on Christmas Day, when she had for her fee the King's knife with which she cut. We find several records of her piety, particularly in Oxford and its vicinity; for she seems to have lived during her widowhood at Headington, only two miles from that city. In the year 1287 we find the Countess of Warwick visiting Lacock, on which occasion she quit-claimed to the abbey her title in the manor of Hatherop. She died on Sunday Feb. 6, 1297, and was buried at Ousney Abbey, near Oxford, where Leland saw her tomb, 'a very fair flat marble, in the habit of a vowess, graven in a copper plate.' Two Seals of this lady are extant. The first closely resembles that of her Mother, having on one side her own figure holding a hawk, and on the other side the arms of Longespé in a shield, with a lion above and below; it is inscribed on both side S.

In her second Seal, the coat of Basset (wavy Or and Gules) is substituted for that of Longespe; the latter is placed in her hand, on the obverse, instead of the hawk, and is balanced by the coat of Newburgh, (checky Or and Azure, a chevron Ermine) placed over her right shoulder.

7103	RESEARCH_NOTES: 1. “Royal Ancestry: A Study in Colonial & Medieval Families,” Douglas Richardson (2013): “ELA OF SALISBURY, suo jure Countess of Salisbury, daughter and heiress, born in or about 1191. She married before Sept. 1197 WILLIAM LONGESPÉE, Knt., Earl of Salisbury, Lieutenant of Gascony, 1202, Seneschal of Avranches, 1203, Constable of Dover Castle and Warden of the Cinque Ports, 1204-6, Sheriff of Wiltshire, 1204-7, 1213-26, Lord of the Honour and Castle of Eye, 1205, Sheriff of Cambridgeshire and Huntingdonshire, 1212-16, Sheriff of Devon, 1217-18, Sheriff of Somersetshire, 1217, Sheriff of Lincolnshire, 1217-21, Sheriff of Shropshire and Staffordshire, 1223-4, Constable of Portchester, Southampton, and Winchester Castles, 1224, Keeper of the March of Wales, illegitimate son of Henry II, King of England, by his mistress, Ida, daughter of Ralph de Tony, of Flamstead, Hertfordshire [see ENGLAND 4 for his ancestry]. He was born say 1175-80. They had four sons, William, Knt. [Earl of Salisbury], Stephen, Knt., Richard [Canon of Salisbury], and Nicholas [Bishop of Salisbury], and six daughters, Ida, Mary, Isabel, Ela, Ida (2nd of name), and Pernel. In 1191 he was granted the manor of Kirton, Lincolnshire by his brother, King Richard I. He was present at the Coronation of his brother, King John, in 1199. In 1200 he witnessed the homage of William the Lion, King of Scots to King John at Lincoln. In 1202 he went on a diplomatic mission to France. In 1204 he escorted Llywelyn ap Iorwerth, Prince of North Wales, to the king. In 1206 he was in the escort of William the Lion, King of Scotland, to meet King John at York. In 1209 he headed an embassy to the prelates and princes of Germany, on behalf of the King's nephew, Otto, King of the Romans. In 1212 he and his wife, Ela, instituted suit in the king's court against Ela's kinsman, Henry de Bohun, for the entire barony of Trowbridge, Wiltshire, Henry's chief fief. The king assumed control of the honour, but allowed Earl William's agents to levy scutage from its tenants. In 1213 Earl William was joint commander of an expedition to help the Count of Flanders against France. In 1214, as Marshal of the King of England, he commanded forces which recovered nearly all of Flanders for the Count; after which he and the Counts of Flanders and Boulogne were captured at the Battle of Bouvines and thrown into prison in chains. He was released before May 1215, and returned to England. In 1215 he was present at Runnymeade on the king's side at the signing of the Magna Carta [Great Charter]. He was granted the manor of Andover, Hampshire in 1215 by his brother, King John. He remained a zealous royalist until June 1216, when he surrendered Salisbury Castle to Prince Louis. He returned his allegiance to the king before 7 March 1216/7, when his lands were restored to him. In August 1217 he was with Hubert de Burgh in the victory over the French fleet off Thanet. In 1217 he was granted the manor of Aldbourne, Wiltshire by the king. In 1220 he and his wife laid the 4th and 5th stones at the founding of the new Cathedral at Salisbury, Wiltshire. In 1222 he gave the manor of Heythrop, Gloucestershire to certain monks and brethren of the Carthusian order, and assigned part of his revenues towards the building of a monastery for them there. In 1223 he took part in the successful expedition against Llywelyn. In 1225 he went with Richard, Earl of Cornwall as a supervisory commander on a successful expedition to Gascony. He gave Bradenstoke Priory the advowson of the church of Rogerville (Seine-Inférieure), together with land and rents there and in Sandouville (Seine-Inférieure), and a virgate of land in Chitterne and one in Amesbury, Wiltshire. At an unspecified date William, with consent of Ela his wife, granted the land called "Chandewyk" to William de Nevill, which property he had by grant of Jordan de Saint Martin. SIR WILLIAM LONGESPÉE, Earl of Salisbury, died at Salisbury Castle, Wiltshire 7 March 1225/6, and was buried in Salisbury Cathedral, Wiltshire. He left a will dated Midlent 1225. Among other bequests he left 200 marks to the new building of the Salisbury Cathedral Church, plus £200 to the building of St. Mary Bentleywood, Wiltshire, together with his traveling chapel-furniture, breviary, and numerous head of cattle. In 1226 Humphrey de Bohun, Earl of Hereford, brought an action against Earl William's widow, Ela, over the castle and honour of Trowbridge, Wiltshire, including lands in Bishtopstrow, East Coulston, Manningford Bruce (in Wilsford), Newton Tony, Staverton (in Trowbridge), Trowbridge, and Wilsford, Wiltshire; the suit was settled by compromise in 1230, whereby the two parties divided the honour between them. In Jan. 1227 the king transferred Salisbury castle, together with the shrievalty of Wiltshire, to Ela during his pleasure, which she held until 1228. Further evidence of Ela's high standing in royal favour is indicated by the king's regular gifts of venison to her throughout the late 1220s, including one in Sept. 1227 to celebrate the forthcoming nuptials of her daughter, Mary. In 1227 the monks of Heythrop not liking their habitation, prevailed on Ela to remove them to Hinton, Somerset, where, in her park, she began a monastery for them, which was completed in 1232. In 1227 she granted all her land west of Bendeywood, Wiltshire to the Hospital of St. Nicholas' Hospital for the sustenance of the poor and infirm. In 1229 Countess Ela founded Lacock Abbey, Wiltshire. In April 1231 Ela secured custody of the county of Wiltshire and Salisbury Castle for the term of her life for a fine of 200 marks, the king stipulating that neither the countess or her heirs possessed any legal claim to the castle and county by hereditary right. She was co-heiress c.1232-3 to her mother, Eleanor de Vitré, by which she inherited an interest in the manor of Cowlinge, Suffolk. In Feb. 1236 her son and heir, William Longespée, guaranteed her gifts to Lacock Abbey, while she agreed to surrender all her lands, rents and rights to him on 1 Nov. following. On 25 October 1236 Ela, Countes of Salisbury, reached agreement with William Longespée, her first born son, that she may grant a moiety of the manor of Heddington, Wiltshire to Lacock Priory, which property fell to her on the death of Maud de Mandeville, Countess of Essex and Hereford. In the winter 1236-7 she resigned her custody of the county of Wiltshire. She subsequently entered her religious foundation at Lacock, where she took the veil before spring 1238. She served as abbess there from 1240 to 1257. In 1249 she gave formal license to her son, William, to depart on a crusade. In 1250, on the eve of the battle in which he was killed in Egypt, she saw a vision of him standing fully armed entering heaven, being joyfully received by attendant angels. She died 24 August 1261, and was buried in the convent choir beneath the altar at Lacock Abbey. Note: William Longespée, Earl of Salisbury has long been known to have been an illegitimate child of Henry II, King of England, allegedly by his mistress, Rosamond Clifford. As early as 1902, however, it was suspected that William Longespée's mother was connected to the Akeny family, a cadet branch of the Tony family [see Wordsworth 15th Cent. Cartulary of St. Nicholas' Hospital, Salisbury (1902): xxv, footnote 1]. New evidence has surfaced in recent years which proves conclusively that William Longespée was the son of King Henry II by another mistress, a certain Ida de Tony, afterwards wife of Roger le Bigod (died 1221), Earl of Norfolk [see C.P. 9 (1936): 586-589 (sub Norfolk); Kemp Reading Abbey Cartularies 1 (Camden 4th Ser. 31) (1986): 3711. For evidence that William Longespée was the son of Countess Ida le Bigod, see London Cartulary of Bradenstoke Priory (Wiltshire Rec. Soc. 35) (1979): 143, 188, which includes two charters in which Earl William Longespée specifically names his mother, Countess Ida. It is known from contemporary records that Countess Ida le Bigod had a younger son named Ralph le Bigod [see Thompson Libor Vita Ecclesia Dunelmenis (Surtees Soc. 136) (1923): fo. 63b]. Among the English prisoners captured at the Battle of Bouvines in 1214, there was a certain Ralph [le] Bigod, who a contemporary French record refers to as "brother" [that is, half-brother] of William Longespée, Earl of Salisbury [see Recueil des Historiens des Gaules et de la France 17 (1878): 101 (Guillelmus Armoricus: "Isti sunt Prisiones (capti in bello Bovinensi) ... Radulphus Bigot, frater Comitis Saresburiensis"); see also Malo Un Grand Feudataire, Renaud de Dammartin et la Coalition de Bouvines (1898):199, 209, which author identified Ralph le Bigod as brother of William Longespée, Earl of Salisbury]. For evidence that Countess Ida was a member of the Tony family, see Morris Bigod Earls of Norfolk (2005): 2, who cites a royal inquest dated 1275, in which jurors affirmed that Earl Roger le Bigod was given Ida de Tony in marriage by King Henry II, together with the manors of Acle, Halvergate, and South Walsharn, Norfolk [which properties were formerly held by Earl Roger's father] [see Rotuli Hundredorum 1 (1812): 504, 537]. Morris shows that Earl Roger le Bigod received these manors by writ of the king, he having held them for three quarters of a year at Michaelmas 1182 [see PR 28 Henry II, 1181-1182 (Pipe Roll Soc.) (1910): 64]. This appears to pinpoint to marriage of Ida de Tony and Earl Roger le Bigod as having occurred about Christmas 1181. As for Countess Ida's parentage, it seems certain that she was a daughter of Ralph de Tony (died 1162), of Flamstead, Hertfordshire, by his wife, Margaret (b. c.1125, living 1185), daughter of Robert of Meulan, Knt., 1st Earl of Leicester [see C.P. 7 (1929): 530, footnote e (incorrectly dates Ralph and Margaret's marriage as "after 1155" based on the misdating of a charter - correction provided by Ray Phair); C.P. 12(1) (1953): 764-765 (sub Tony); Power Norman Frontier in the 12th & Early 13th Cents. (2004): 525 (Tosny ped.)]. For evidence which supports Ida's placement as a child of Ralph de Tony, several facts may be noted. First, Countess Ida and her husband, Roger le Bigod, are known to have named children, Ralph and Margaret, presumably in honor of Ida's parents, Ralph and Margaret de Tony [see Thompson Libor Vita Ecclesia Dunelmenis (Surtees Soc. 136) (1923): fo. 63b1. Countess Ida was herself evidently named in honor of Ralph de Tony's mother, Ida of Hainault. Second, Morris notes that Ida de Tony was a royal ward at the time of her marriage to Roger le Bigod, meaning she was in the king's gift and that her father was previously a tenant in chief of the king who presumably would have died sometime between 1161 and 1182 [Morris, ibid.]. The only plausible male candidate in the Tony family who could fit to be Ida's father who was also a tenant in chief of the king is Ralph de Tony. Next, William Longespée and his descendants had a long standing association with the family of Roger de Akeny, of Garsington, Oxfordshire, which Roger was a younger brother of Ralph de Tony (died 1162) [see C.P. 8 (1932): chart foll. 464; 14 (1998): 614; Loyd Origins of Some Anglo-Norman Fams. (1951): 2; VCH Oxford 5 (1957): 138; Harper-Bill Dodnash Priory Charters (Suffolk Rec. Soc. 16) (1998): 34-37, 39-40, 72-73; Fam. Hist. 18 (1995-97): 47-64; 19 (1998): 125-129]. Lastly, Roger le Bigod and his step-son, William Longespée, both had associations with William the lion, King of Scots, which connection can be readily explained by virtue of King William's wife, Ermengarde, being sister to Constance de Beaumont, wife of Countess Ida's presumed brother, Roger de Tony [see C.P. 12(1) (1953): 760-769 (sub Tony)]. King William the Lion was likewise near related to both of Countess Ida's presumed parents, her father by a shared descent from Countess Judith, the niece of King William the Conqueror, and her mother by a shared descent from Isabel de Vermandois, Countess of Surrey. Roger le Bigod and William Longespée were both present with other English relations of William the lion at an important gathering at Lincoln in 1200, when William the lion paid homage to King John of England [see Stubbs Chronica Magistri Rogeri de Houedene 4 (Rolls Ser. 51) (1871): 141-142]. Thus, naming patterns, familial and political associations give strong evidence that Ida, wife of Earl Roger le Bigod, was a daughter of Ralph de Tony. Sandford Gen.

The same year he acknowledged he owed Richard Basset a debt of 20 marks. He married between 8 Feb. 1242/3 and 16 Dec. 1244 EMELINE DE RIDELISFORD, widow of Hugh de Lacy, 1st Earl of Ulster (died 1242), and daughter and co-heiress of Walter de Ridelisford, of Bray, Admekin (or Headford), Corofin, and Tristledermot (or Casdedermot), Ireland, by his wife, Armor. They had two daughters, Ela and Emeline. In 1243/6 he witnessed a charter of his cousin, Richard, Earl of Cornwall, to Shaftesbury Abbey. In 1247 he was pardoned a debt of £33 and a half mark by Licoria wife of David of Oxford the Jew. He presented to the church of Great Gaddesden, Hertfordshire in 1247. He took the cross in 1250. In 1251 he had a dispute with the Prior of St. Swithun's concerning lands in Hyneton. In 1255 he went to Gascony with Edward the king's son. In 1258 he was granted wardship of the land and heirs of his late brother-in-law, Walter Fitz Robert, by Edward the king's son for 3,000 marks. At some undetermined date, he was a benefactor of St. Giles Priory at Flamstead, Hertfordshire.

By his 1st wife, Maud de Prendergast, he had two daughters, Juliane (wife of Thomas de Clare, Knt., lord of Thomond in Connacht [see BADLESMERE 8]) and Amabil. He obtained lands in Connaught by feoffment of his father. In 1259 he was granted Athlone Castle and the shrievalty of Connaught. In 1260 he succeeded in plundering the O'Donnells, but was defeated in an expedition against Conor O'Brian at Coill-Berrain in Munster. He was summoned to England in 1262. In 1264 he was ordered to secure the Irish lands of the young Earl of Gloucester. In 1264 he took the justiciar, Thebaud le Boteler (or Butler), and John Cogan prisoners. He was twice granted letters of protection to England in 1266. In 1272 or 1273 he led another expedition against Brian Ruadh O'Brien. In 1276-7 Maurice and his wife, Emeline, brought an assize of novel disseisin against Humphrey de Bohun, Earl of Hereford and Essex, and others regarding a tenement in Denford (in Kintbury), Berkshire. In 1277 he accompanied his son-in-law, Thomas de Clare, against Brian Ruadh O'Brien, King of 'Thomond; Brian was taken prisoner and beheaded. SIR MAURICE FITZ MAURICE died testate shortly before 2 Sept. 1277. In 1292 his widow, Emeline, sued Thomas Fitz Maurice for the manor of Killorglin, co. Kerry, Ireland, which she claimed as her right by the gift of Christina de Marsh who previously had enfeoffed her and Maurice her late husband; the defendant vouched to warranty Gilbert de Clare, minor son and heir of Thomas de Clare. His widow, Emeline, was a legatee in the 1294 will of her uncle, Nicholas Longespée, Bishop of Salisbury. In 1298-9 she had a suit with John de Inteberge about lands at Kilcaly, near Limerick. In 1305-6 she settled the manor of Denford (in Kintbury), Berkshire on herself, with reversion to her great niece, Maud la Zouche, then betrothed to Robert de Holand, Knt., afterwards 1st Lord Holand. In 1314 she was granted the manor of Avington, Berkshire for life by Thomas, Earl of Lancaster. She presented to the chapel of Wanborough, Wiltshire in 1316.

ALICE LONGESPÉE, married (1st) 1260-1 GEOFFREY DE JARPENVILLE Alice's maritagium included a messuage and lands in Little Stanmore, Middlesex, formerly belonging to Henry Bucointe, Knt., and land formerly held of her father, Nicholas Longespée, by Ralph de la Forde and others in a field called "Colemannesdene." They presumably had one son, Nicholas (living 1294). Before 1277 Alice's lands in Little Stanmore, Middlesex were fraudulently acquired by the moneylender, Adam de Stratton. She presumably married (2nd) WILLIAM DE BARNEVILLE, of Harrow, Middlesex. They had one son, John, of Little Stanmore and Oakington (in Harrow), Middlesex (occurs 1294-1337), and one daughter, Margaret, both of whom were legatees in the 1294 will of their grandfather, Bishop Nicholas Longespée. William (husband of Alice) was also appointed one of the executors of the 1294 will of Bishop Longespée. On Adam de Stratton's disgrace in 1290, Alice presumably recovered her lands, as her son, John de Barneville, later had lands in this parish [see C.P.R. 1313-1317 (1898): 558)]. WILLIAM DE BARNEVILLE was living in 1297/8. Alice and her 2nd husband, William de Barneville, are direct ancestors of William Barnville, of Harrow, Middlesex (died c.1397), Knight of the Shire for Middlesex, whose son (or grandson), John Barnville (died before 1482), left a daughter and heiress, Elizabeth Barnville [wife of Thomas Frowick, Knt, Chief Justice of the Common Pleas (died 1506) and Thomas Jakes, Esq.

Sir Robert de Roos had children named William, Isabel, and Ida, which given names occur among descendants of the Longespée family. Further research is needed, however, to establish the identity of Mary Longespée's husband.) vii. ISABEL LONGESPÉE. She married shortly after 16 May 1226 (as his 1st wife) WILLIAM DE VESCY, Knt., of Alnwick, Northumberland, son and heir of Eustace de Vescy, Knt., of Alnwick, Northumberland, by Margaret, illegitimate daughter of William the Lion, King of Scots [see SCOTLAND 4.vi for his ancestry]. He was born about 1205 (minor in 1216). They had no issue. He had livery of his inheritance 16 May 1226. He accompanied King Henry III's expedition to Brittany in 1230. In 1232 and 1234 he was forbidden to attend tournaments at Blyth, Northampton, and Cambridge. He was appointed to escort King Alexander and Queen Joan of Scotland to the English court in 1235, and again in August 1237. In 1242 he went with the king to Gascony. At his wife, Isabel's death, she was buried at Alnwick Abbey, Northumberland. He married (2nd) before 1244 AGNES DE FERRERS, daughter of William de Ferrers, Knt., 5th Earl of Derby, by his 1st wife, Sibyl, daughter of William Marshal, Knt., 4th Earl of Pembroke (or Strigoil), hereditary Master Marshal [see FERRERS 7 for her ancestry].

ELA LONGSPEE, married THOMAS OF WARWICK, Knt., 6th Earl of Warwick, son and heir of Henry, Earl of Warwick, by his 1st wife, Margery, daughter of Herity d'Oilly. He was presumably of age in 1229. They had no issue. He carried the third sword at the Coronation of Queen Eleanor in 1236. He died 26 (or 27) June 1242, and was buried in St. Mary's, Warwick. In 1247 his widow, Ela, Countess of Warwick, and Simon Fitz Simon sued John de Plescy, Earl of Warwick, and his wife, Margery, in a plea of warranty. Ela married (2nd) after Nov. 1254 and before 23 March 1254/5 (as his 2nd wife) PHILIP BASSET, Knt., of Soham, Cambridgeshire, Wycombe, Buckinghamshire, Maplederwell, Hampshire, Kirdington, Oxfordshire, Woking, Surrey, Wootton Basset, Wiltshire, etc., Constable of Colchester, Corfe, Devizes, Hadleigh, Oxford, and Sherbome Castles, 1259, Justiciar of England, Keeper of the Tower of London, younger son of Alan Basset, of Wootton Basset, Wiltshire, Wycombe, Buckinghamshire, Maplederwell, Hampshire, Woking, Surrey, etc., by Aline, daughter and co-heiress Philip de Gay, of Wootton Bassett and Broadtown, Wiltshire and Northbrook, Oxfordshire. They had no issue. In the period, 1230-41, his brother, Gilbert Basset, conveyed to him land in Middleton, late of Thomas Basset their older brother. In 1233 he helped free Hubert de Burgh, Earl of Kent, from captivity in Devizes Castle in Wiltshire; in return in 1234 Hubert de Burgh gave him 176 acres of his demesne land in Soham, Cambridgeshite, with lordship over numerous tenants. In 1238-9 he was granted lands in Soham and Fordham, Cambridgeshire by Peter de Bendenges and his wife Burga. In 1242 he was appointed one of the Constables of the Host, then about to set out for Poitou. In consideration of his services there, he was granted the manor of Kersey, Suffolk -- 1243. In 1245 he was appointed ambassador to the Council of Lyons. About 1245 he obtained a license to build a chapel in Soham, Cambridgeshire and to hear service therein. In 1252 William de Wydindon demised to him land and wood of `Okregge' in West Wycombe, Buckinghamshire for a term of seven years; Philip promised to keep William in his service, providing him food and clothing as one of his own esquires and supplying him with another horse if his own died; the grant was made perpetual in 1254. He fought in Wales in 1258. Philip was heir in 1259 to his older brother, Fulk Basset, Bishop of London. In 1260 Simon, Abbot of Bury St. Edmunds, demised the manor of Stapleford Abbots, Essex to him. The same year, at the instance of his cousin, Ela, Countess of Warwick, the king granted the abbess and nuns of Lacock Abbey quittance from cheminage in all the king's forests in Wiltshire and Gloucestershire. In 1261 he had a grant of 1000 marks per annum to maintain him in the office of Justiciar. About 1261 Laurence de Sanford granted him the manor of Lecquid, Glamorgan, Wales. In 1261-2 Thomas de Awelton and Agnes his wife conveyed lands in Doddington and Northwode, Cambridgeshire to Philip and his wife, Ela. In 1262 John de Burgh and Hawise his wife leased lands in Soham, Fordharn, Landwade, Wykes, Hanney, etc., Cambridgeshire to Sir Philip Basset for a term of 16 years for the sum of 400/. in hand. In 1262 Philip leased land in Rotherwick, Hampshire from Richard de la Rugge. The same year Richard, King of the Romans, quitclaimed to him all suit of court at Wallingford, Berkshire for life. He fought on the king's side at the Battle of Lewes in 1264, where the king was taken prisoner by the barons. In 1266 Thomas de Gay, rector of the church of Wootton Basset, Wiltshire, granted Philip his free chapel at Fasterne, Wiltshire, with renunciation of all right to sell the offerings made therein; the said Philip to pay 20s. yearly to the parish church of Wootton. In 1267 the king granted him for life a deer leap at his new park below his town of Wootton Basset, Wiltshire, and another at his old park below his manor of "la Fasteme." In 1267-8 his wife, Ela, gave property in Stinkinglane, in the parish of St. Nicholas de Macellis, London to the City of London for the use of the Franciscans. At an unknown date, Richard son of Richard de la Wyz released to him all his right in a meadow with pasture for six cattle in Compton, Wiltshire. Sometime before 1271 John de Burgh granted that he pay him 20s. yearly to the custody of Dover Castle, due from the manor of Beeston, which Philip holds from him. SIR PHILIP BASSET died testate 29 October 1271, and was buried at Stanley, Wiltshire. In 1278 his widow, Ela, complained that when she sent John the reeve of Claverdon to Brandon Castle, Warwickshire with a letter for 10 marks which Thebaud de Verdun owed her as relief for the manor, Eleanor, widow of John de Verdun (step-mother of Thebaud de Verdun) and her men took away the letter and imprisoned him for one night. In 1280 Ela was summoned to show by what warrant she took the fines of the breaches of the assize of bread and ale in Maplederwell, Hampshire, and to show cause why she should not permit her villeins of Maplederwell to make suit at the king's hundred court of Basingstoke. The same year she sued Hugh de Courtenay and his wife Eleanor (Ela's step-granddaughter) for one messuage and lands in Wootton Courtney, Somerset, which she claimed to be her right by the gift of Hugh de Neville; the jury found in favor of Hugh and Eleanor. In 1289 Ela, Countess of Warwick, was summoned to answer Hugh le Despenser on a plea as to why she had committed waste in the woods which she held in dower of Hugh's inheritance in Compton Bassett and Wolfhale, Wiltshire to Hugh's disinheritance. In 1290 she granted a messuage and 1/2 virgate of land in Nateley Eastrop, a croft of eight acres in Up Nately, and a messuage and garden in Maplederwell, all in Hampshire, to John, Bishop of Winchester, for use of a chantry and maintenance of a chaplain in the chapel of Maplederwell. In 1293 Hugh le Despenser confirmed the grant of Lady Ela Longespée, late the wife of Philip Basset, to Adam de Stock and Roger de Stock his brother of lands in Wolfhale, Wiltshire which she held in dower of Hugh's inheritance. Ela, Countess of Warwick, died 9 Feb. 1297/8, and was buried in Oseney Abbey, Oxfordshire. Sandford Gen. Hist. of the Kings of England (1677): 116.

She became the second time a widow in 1271, and survived for many years after, a very wealthy lady, having no children by either husband. In 1285 she was returned as holding the manor of Hoke-Norton in Oxfordshire, in capite, by the sergeantry of carvng before our lord the King on Christmas Day, when she had for her fee the King's knife with which she cut. We find several records of her piety, particularly in Oxford and its vicinity; for she seems to have lived during her widowhood at Headington, only two miles from that city. In the year 1287 we find the Countess of Warwick visiting Lacock, on which occasion she quit-claimed to the abbey her title in the manor of Hatherop. She died on Sunday Feb. 6, 1297, and was buried at Ousney Abbey, near Oxford, where Leland saw her tomb, 'a very fair flat marble, in the habit of a vowess, graven in a copper plate.' Two Seals of this lady are extant. The first closely resembles that of her Mother, having on one side her own figure holding a hawk, and on the other side the arms of Longespé in a shield, with a lion above and below; it is inscribed on both side S. ELE LVNGESPEYE COMITISSE WARWIC. In her second Seal, the coat of Basset (wavy Or and Gules) is substituted for that of Longespe; the latter is placed in her hand, on the obverse, instead of the hawk, and is balanced by the coat of Newburgh, (checky Or and Azure, a chevron Ermine) placed over her right shoulder.

7104	RESEARCH_NOTES: 1. “Royal Ancestry: A Study in Colonial & Medieval Families,” Douglas Richardson (2013): “ELA OF SALISBURY, suo jure Countess of Salisbury, daughter and heiress, born in or about 1191. She married before Sept. 1197 WILLIAM LONGESPÉE, Knt., Earl of Salisbury, Lieutenant of Gascony, 1202, Seneschal of Avranches, 1203, Constable of Dover Castle and Warden of the Cinque Ports, 1204-6, Sheriff of Wiltshire, 1204-7, 1213-26, Lord of the Honour and Castle of Eye, 1205, Sheriff of Cambridgeshire and Huntingdonshire, 1212-16, Sheriff of Devon, 1217-18, Sheriff of Somersetshire, 1217, Sheriff of Lincolnshire, 1217-21, Sheriff of Shropshire and Staffordshire, 1223-4, Constable of Portchester, Southampton, and Winchester Castles, 1224, Keeper of the March of Wales, illegitimate son of Henry II, King of England, by his mistress, Ida, daughter of Ralph de Tony, of Flamstead, Hertfordshire [see ENGLAND 4 for his ancestry]. He was born say 1175-80. They had four sons, William, Knt. [Earl of Salisbury], Stephen, Knt., Richard [Canon of Salisbury], and Nicholas [Bishop of Salisbury], and six daughters, Ida, Mary, Isabel, Ela, Ida (2nd of name), and Pernel. In 1191 he was granted the manor of Kirton, Lincolnshire by his brother, King Richard I. He was present at the Coronation of his brother, King John, in 1199. In 1200 he witnessed the homage of William the Lion, King of Scots to King John at Lincoln. In 1202 he went on a diplomatic mission to France. In 1204 he escorted Llywelyn ap Iorwerth, Prince of North Wales, to the king. In 1206 he was in the escort of William the Lion, King of Scotland, to meet King John at York. In 1209 he headed an embassy to the prelates and princes of Germany, on behalf of the King's nephew, Otto, King of the Romans. In 1212 he and his wife, Ela, instituted suit in the king's court against Ela's kinsman, Henry de Bohun, for the entire barony of Trowbridge, Wiltshire, Henry's chief fief. The king assumed control of the honour, but allowed Earl William's agents to levy scutage from its tenants. In 1213 Earl William was joint commander of an expedition to help the Count of Flanders against France. In 1214, as Marshal of the King of England, he commanded forces which recovered nearly all of Flanders for the Count; after which he and the Counts of Flanders and Boulogne were captured at the Battle of Bouvines and thrown into prison in chains. He was released before May 1215, and returned to England. In 1215 he was present at Runnymeade on the king's side at the signing of the Magna Carta [Great Charter]. He was granted the manor of Andover, Hampshire in 1215 by his brother, King John. He remained a zealous royalist until June 1216, when he surrendered Salisbury Castle to Prince Louis. He returned his allegiance to the king before 7 March 1216/7, when his lands were restored to him. In August 1217 he was with Hubert de Burgh in the victory over the French fleet off Thanet. In 1217 he was granted the manor of Aldbourne, Wiltshire by the king. In 1220 he and his wife laid the 4th and 5th stones at the founding of the new Cathedral at Salisbury, Wiltshire. In 1222 he gave the manor of Heythrop, Gloucestershire to certain monks and brethren of the Carthusian order, and assigned part of his revenues towards the building of a monastery for them there. In 1223 he took part in the successful expedition against Llywelyn. In 1225 he went with Richard, Earl of Cornwall as a supervisory commander on a successful expedition to Gascony. He gave Bradenstoke Priory the advowson of the church of Rogerville (Seine-Inférieure), together with land and rents there and in Sandouville (Seine-Inférieure), and a virgate of land in Chitterne and one in Amesbury, Wiltshire. At an unspecified date William, with consent of Ela his wife, granted the land called "Chandewyk" to William de Nevill, which property he had by grant of Jordan de Saint Martin. SIR WILLIAM LONGESPÉE, Earl of Salisbury, died at Salisbury Castle, Wiltshire 7 March 1225/6, and was buried in Salisbury Cathedral, Wiltshire. He left a will dated Midlent 1225. Among other bequests he left 200 marks to the new building of the Salisbury Cathedral Church, plus £200 to the building of St. Mary Bentleywood, Wiltshire, together with his traveling chapel-furniture, breviary, and numerous head of cattle. In 1226 Humphrey de Bohun, Earl of Hereford, brought an action against Earl William's widow, Ela, over the castle and honour of Trowbridge, Wiltshire, including lands in Bishtopstrow, East Coulston, Manningford Bruce (in Wilsford), Newton Tony, Staverton (in Trowbridge), Trowbridge, and Wilsford, Wiltshire; the suit was settled by compromise in 1230, whereby the two parties divided the honour between them. In Jan. 1227 the king transferred Salisbury castle, together with the shrievalty of Wiltshire, to Ela during his pleasure, which she held until 1228. Further evidence of Ela's high standing in royal favour is indicated by the king's regular gifts of venison to her throughout the late 1220s, including one in Sept. 1227 to celebrate the forthcoming nuptials of her daughter, Mary. In 1227 the monks of Heythrop not liking their habitation, prevailed on Ela to remove them to Hinton, Somerset, where, in her park, she began a monastery for them, which was completed in 1232. In 1227 she granted all her land west of Bendeywood, Wiltshire to the Hospital of St. Nicholas' Hospital for the sustenance of the poor and infirm. In 1229 Countess Ela founded Lacock Abbey, Wiltshire. In April 1231 Ela secured custody of the county of Wiltshire and Salisbury Castle for the term of her life for a fine of 200 marks, the king stipulating that neither the countess or her heirs possessed any legal claim to the castle and county by hereditary right. She was co-heiress c.1232-3 to her mother, Eleanor de Vitré, by which she inherited an interest in the manor of Cowlinge, Suffolk. In Feb. 1236 her son and heir, William Longespée, guaranteed her gifts to Lacock Abbey, while she agreed to surrender all her lands, rents and rights to him on 1 Nov. following. On 25 October 1236 Ela, Countes of Salisbury, reached agreement with William Longespée, her first born son, that she may grant a moiety of the manor of Heddington, Wiltshire to Lacock Priory, which property fell to her on the death of Maud de Mandeville, Countess of Essex and Hereford. In the winter 1236-7 she resigned her custody of the county of Wiltshire. She subsequently entered her religious foundation at Lacock, where she took the veil before spring 1238. She served as abbess there from 1240 to 1257. In 1249 she gave formal license to her son, William, to depart on a crusade. In 1250, on the eve of the battle in which he was killed in Egypt, she saw a vision of him standing fully armed entering heaven, being joyfully received by attendant angels. She died 24 August 1261, and was buried in the convent choir beneath the altar at Lacock Abbey. Note: William Longespée, Earl of Salisbury has long been known to have been an illegitimate child of Henry II, King of England, allegedly by his mistress, Rosamond Clifford. As early as 1902, however, it was suspected that William Longespée's mother was connected to the Akeny family, a cadet branch of the Tony family [see Wordsworth 15th Cent. Cartulary of St. Nicholas' Hospital, Salisbury (1902): xxv, footnote 1]. New evidence has surfaced in recent years which proves conclusively that William Longespée was the son of King Henry II by another mistress, a certain Ida de Tony, afterwards wife of Roger le Bigod (died 1221), Earl of Norfolk [see C.P. 9 (1936): 586-589 (sub Norfolk); Kemp Reading Abbey Cartularies 1 (Camden 4th Ser. 31) (1986): 3711. For evidence that William Longespée was the son of Countess Ida le Bigod, see London Cartulary of Bradenstoke Priory (Wiltshire Rec. Soc. 35) (1979): 143, 188, which includes two charters in which Earl William Longespée specifically names his mother, Countess Ida. It is known from contemporary records that Countess Ida le Bigod had a younger son named Ralph le Bigod [see Thompson Libor Vita Ecclesia Dunelmenis (Surtees Soc. 136) (1923): fo. 63b]. Among the English prisoners captured at the Battle of Bouvines in 1214, there was a certain Ralph [le] Bigod, who a contemporary French record refers to as "brother" [that is, half-brother] of William Longespée, Earl of Salisbury [see Recueil des Historiens des Gaules et de la France 17 (1878): 101 (Guillelmus Armoricus: "Isti sunt Prisiones (capti in bello Bovinensi) ... Radulphus Bigot, frater Comitis Saresburiensis"); see also Malo Un Grand Feudataire, Renaud de Dammartin et la Coalition de Bouvines (1898):199, 209, which author identified Ralph le Bigod as brother of William Longespée, Earl of Salisbury]. For evidence that Countess Ida was a member of the Tony family, see Morris Bigod Earls of Norfolk (2005): 2, who cites a royal inquest dated 1275, in which jurors affirmed that Earl Roger le Bigod was given Ida de Tony in marriage by King Henry II, together with the manors of Acle, Halvergate, and South Walsharn, Norfolk [which properties were formerly held by Earl Roger's father] [see Rotuli Hundredorum 1 (1812): 504, 537]. Morris shows that Earl Roger le Bigod received these manors by writ of the king, he having held them for three quarters of a year at Michaelmas 1182 [see PR 28 Henry II, 1181-1182 (Pipe Roll Soc.) (1910): 64]. This appears to pinpoint to marriage of Ida de Tony and Earl Roger le Bigod as having occurred about Christmas 1181. As for Countess Ida's parentage, it seems certain that she was a daughter of Ralph de Tony (died 1162), of Flamstead, Hertfordshire, by his wife, Margaret (b. c.1125, living 1185), daughter of Robert of Meulan, Knt., 1st Earl of Leicester [see C.P. 7 (1929): 530, footnote e (incorrectly dates Ralph and Margaret's marriage as "after 1155" based on the misdating of a charter - correction provided by Ray Phair); C.P. 12(1) (1953): 764-765 (sub Tony); Power Norman Frontier in the 12th & Early 13th Cents. (2004): 525 (Tosny ped.)]. For evidence which supports Ida's placement as a child of Ralph de Tony, several facts may be noted. First, Countess Ida and her husband, Roger le Bigod, are known to have named children, Ralph and Margaret, presumably in honor of Ida's parents, Ralph and Margaret de Tony [see Thompson Libor Vita Ecclesia Dunelmenis (Surtees Soc. 136) (1923): fo. 63b1. Countess Ida was herself evidently named in honor of Ralph de Tony's mother, Ida of Hainault. Second, Morris notes that Ida de Tony was a royal ward at the time of her marriage to Roger le Bigod, meaning she was in the king's gift and that her father was previously a tenant in chief of the king who presumably would have died sometime between 1161 and 1182 [Morris, ibid.]. The only plausible male candidate in the Tony family who could fit to be Ida's father who was also a tenant in chief of the king is Ralph de Tony. Next, William Longespée and his descendants had a long standing association with the family of Roger de Akeny, of Garsington, Oxfordshire, which Roger was a younger brother of Ralph de Tony (died 1162) [see C.P. 8 (1932): chart foll. 464; 14 (1998): 614; Loyd Origins of Some Anglo-Norman Fams. (1951): 2; VCH Oxford 5 (1957): 138; Harper-Bill Dodnash Priory Charters (Suffolk Rec. Soc. 16) (1998): 34-37, 39-40, 72-73; Fam. Hist. 18 (1995-97): 47-64; 19 (1998): 125-129]. Lastly, Roger le Bigod and his step-son, William Longespée, both had associations with William the lion, King of Scots, which connection can be readily explained by virtue of King William's wife, Ermengarde, being sister to Constance de Beaumont, wife of Countess Ida's presumed brother, Roger de Tony [see C.P. 12(1) (1953): 760-769 (sub Tony)]. King William the Lion was likewise near related to both of Countess Ida's presumed parents, her father by a shared descent from Countess Judith, the niece of King William the Conqueror, and her mother by a shared descent from Isabel de Vermandois, Countess of Surrey. Roger le Bigod and William Longespée were both present with other English relations of William the lion at an important gathering at Lincoln in 1200, when William the lion paid homage to King John of England [see Stubbs Chronica Magistri Rogeri de Houedene 4 (Rolls Ser. 51) (1871): 141-142]. Thus, naming patterns, familial and political associations give strong evidence that Ida, wife of Earl Roger le Bigod, was a daughter of Ralph de Tony. Sandford Gen.

ALICE LONGESPÉE, married (1st) 1260-1 GEOFFREY DE JARPENVILLE Alice's maritagium included a messuage and lands in Little Stanmore, Middlesex, formerly belonging to Henry Bucointe, Knt., and land formerly held of her father, Nicholas Longespée, by Ralph de la Forde and others in a field called "Colemannesdene." They presumably had one son, Nicholas (living 1294). Before 1277 Alice's lands in Little Stanmore, Middlesex were fraudulently acquired by the moneylender, Adam de Stratton. She presumably married (2nd) WILLIAM DE BARNEVILLE, of Harrow, Middlesex. They had one son, John, of Little Stanmore and Oakington (in Harrow), Middlesex (occurs 1294-1337), and one daughter, Margaret, both of whom were legatees in the 1294 will of their grandfather, Bishop Nicholas Longespée. William (husband of Alice) was also appointed one of the executors of the 1294 will of Bishop Longespée. On Adam de Stratton's disgrace in 1290, Alice presumably recovered her lands, as her son, John de Barneville, later had lands in this parish [see C.P.R. 1313-1317 (1898): 558)]. WILLIAM DE BARNEVILLE was living in 1297/8. Alice and her 2nd husband, William de Barneville, are direct ancestors of William Barnville, of Harrow, Middlesex (died c.1397), Knight of the Shire for Middlesex, whose son (or grandson), John Barnville (died before 1482), left a daughter and heiress, Elizabeth Barnville [wife of Thomas Frowick, Knt, Chief Justice of the Common Pleas (died 1506) and Thomas Jakes, Esq.

Sir Robert de Roos had children named William, Isabel, and Ida, which given names occur among descendants of the Longespée family. Further research is needed, however, to establish the identity of Mary Longespée's husband.) vii. ISABEL LONGESPÉE. She married shortly after 16 May 1226 (as his 1st wife) WILLIAM DE VESCY, Knt., of Alnwick, Northumberland, son and heir of Eustace de Vescy, Knt., of Alnwick, Northumberland, by Margaret, illegitimate daughter of William the Lion, King of Scots [see SCOTLAND 4.vi for his ancestry]. He was born about 1205 (minor in 1216). They had no issue. He had livery of his inheritance 16 May 1226. He accompanied King Henry III's expedition to Brittany in 1230. In 1232 and 1234 he was forbidden to attend tournaments at Blyth, Northampton, and Cambridge. He was appointed to escort King Alexander and Queen Joan of Scotland to the English court in 1235, and again in August 1237. In 1242 he went with the king to Gascony. At his wife, Isabel's death, she was buried at Alnwick Abbey, Northumberland. He married (2nd) before 1244 AGNES DE FERRERS, daughter of William de Ferrers, Knt., 5th Earl of Derby, by his 1st wife, Sibyl, daughter of William Marshal, Knt., 4th Earl of Pembroke (or Strigoil), hereditary Master Marshal [see FERRERS 7 for her ancestry]. Her maritagium included the manor of Stapleford, Leicestershire. They had two sons, John, Knt. [see BEAUMONT 6.vii], and William [1st Lord Vescy, Justiciar of Ireland]. His wife, Agnes, was co-heiress in 1245 to her uncle, Anselm Marshal, Earl of Pembroke. In 1245 he served in the Welsh campaign. In 1253 he had a protection, he then going with the king to Gascony. He founded the Carmelite priory at Hulne, Northumberland. SIR WILLIAM DE VESCY died in Gascony shortly before 7 October 1253, and was buried at Watton Priory, Yorkshire.

ELA LONGSPEE, married THOMAS OF WARWICK, Knt., 6th Earl of Warwick, son and heir of Henry, Earl of Warwick, by his 1st wife, Margery, daughter of Herity d'Oilly. He was presumably of age in 1229. They had no issue. He carried the third sword at the Coronation of Queen Eleanor in 1236. He died 26 (or 27) June 1242, and was buried in St. Mary's, Warwick. In 1247 his widow, Ela, Countess of Warwick, and Simon Fitz Simon sued John de Plescy, Earl of Warwick, and his wife, Margery, in a plea of warranty. Ela married (2nd) after Nov. 1254 and before 23 March 1254/5 (as his 2nd wife) PHILIP BASSET, Knt., of Soham, Cambridgeshire, Wycombe, Buckinghamshire, Maplederwell, Hampshire, Kirdington, Oxfordshire, Woking, Surrey, Wootton Basset, Wiltshire, etc., Constable of Colchester, Corfe, Devizes, Hadleigh, Oxford, and Sherbome Castles, 1259, Justiciar of England, Keeper of the Tower of London, younger son of Alan Basset, of Wootton Basset, Wiltshire, Wycombe, Buckinghamshire, Maplederwell, Hampshire, Woking, Surrey, etc., by Aline, daughter and co-heiress Philip de Gay, of Wootton Bassett and Broadtown, Wiltshire and Northbrook, Oxfordshire. They had no issue. In the period, 1230-41, his brother, Gilbert Basset, conveyed to him land in Middleton, late of Thomas Basset their older brother. In 1233 he helped free Hubert de Burgh, Earl of Kent, from captivity in Devizes Castle in Wiltshire; in return in 1234 Hubert de Burgh gave him 176 acres of his demesne land in Soham, Cambridgeshite, with lordship over numerous tenants. In 1238-9 he was granted lands in Soham and Fordham, Cambridgeshire by Peter de Bendenges and his wife Burga. In 1242 he was appointed one of the Constables of the Host, then about to set out for Poitou. In consideration of his services there, he was granted the manor of Kersey, Suffolk -- 1243. In 1245 he was appointed ambassador to the Council of Lyons. About 1245 he obtained a license to build a chapel in Soham, Cambridgeshire and to hear service therein. In 1252 William de Wydindon demised to him land and wood of `Okregge' in West Wycombe, Buckinghamshire for a term of seven years; Philip promised to keep William in his service, providing him food and clothing as one of his own esquires and supplying him with another horse if his own died; the grant was made perpetual in 1254. He fought in Wales in 1258. Philip was heir in 1259 to his older brother, Fulk Basset, Bishop of London. In 1260 Simon, Abbot of Bury St. Edmunds, demised the manor of Stapleford Abbots, Essex to him. The same year, at the instance of his cousin, Ela, Countess of Warwick, the king granted the abbess and nuns of Lacock Abbey quittance from cheminage in all the king's forests in Wiltshire and Gloucestershire. In 1261 he had a grant of 1000 marks per annum to maintain him in the office of Justiciar. About 1261 Laurence de Sanford granted him the manor of Lecquid, Glamorgan, Wales. In 1261-2 Thomas de Awelton and Agnes his wife conveyed lands in Doddington and Northwode, Cambridgeshire to Philip and his wife, Ela. In 1262 John de Burgh and Hawise his wife leased lands in Soham, Fordharn, Landwade, Wykes, Hanney, etc., Cambridgeshire to Sir Philip Basset for a term of 16 years for the sum of 400/. in hand. In 1262 Philip leased land in Rotherwick, Hampshire from Richard de la Rugge. The same year Richard, King of the Romans, quitclaimed to him all suit of court at Wallingford, Berkshire for life. He fought on the king's side at the Battle of Lewes in 1264, where the king was taken prisoner by the barons. In 1266 Thomas de Gay, rector of the church of Wootton Basset, Wiltshire, granted Philip his free chapel at Fasterne, Wiltshire, with renunciation of all right to sell the offerings made therein; the said Philip to pay 20s. yearly to the parish church of Wootton. In 1267 the king granted him for life a deer leap at his new park below his town of Wootton Basset, Wiltshire, and another at his old park below his manor of "la Fasteme." In 1267-8 his wife, Ela, gave property in Stinkinglane, in the parish of St. Nicholas de Macellis, London to the City of London for the use of the Franciscans. At an unknown date, Richard son of Richard de la Wyz released to him all his right in a meadow with pasture for six cattle in Compton, Wiltshire. Sometime before 1271 John de Burgh granted that he pay him 20s. yearly to the custody of Dover Castle, due from the manor of Beeston, which Philip holds from him. SIR PHILIP BASSET died testate 29 October 1271, and was buried at Stanley, Wiltshire. In 1278 his widow, Ela, complained that when she sent John the reeve of Claverdon to Brandon Castle, Warwickshire with a letter for 10 marks which Thebaud de Verdun owed her as relief for the manor, Eleanor, widow of John de Verdun (step-mother of Thebaud de Verdun) and her men took away the letter and imprisoned him for one night. In 1280 Ela was summoned to show by what warrant she took the fines of the breaches of the assize of bread and ale in Maplederwell, Hampshire, and to show cause why she should not permit her villeins of Maplederwell to make suit at the king's hundred court of Basingstoke. The same year she sued Hugh de Courtenay and his wife Eleanor (Ela's step-granddaughter) for one messuage and lands in Wootton Courtney, Somerset, which she claimed to be her right by the gift of Hugh de Neville; the jury found in favor of Hugh and Eleanor. In 1289 Ela, Countess of Warwick, was summoned to answer Hugh le Despenser on a plea as to why she had committed waste in the woods which she held in dower of Hugh's inheritance in Compton Bassett and Wolfhale, Wiltshire to Hugh's disinheritance. In 1290 she granted a messuage and 1/2 virgate of land in Nateley Eastrop, a croft of eight acres in Up Nately, and a messuage and garden in Maplederwell, all in Hampshire, to John, Bishop of Winchester, for use of a chantry and maintenance of a chaplain in the chapel of Maplederwell. In 1293 Hugh le Despenser confirmed the grant of Lady Ela Longespée, late the wife of Philip Basset, to Adam de Stock and Roger de Stock his brother of lands in Wolfhale, Wiltshire which she held in dower of Hugh's inheritance. Ela, Countess of Warwick, died 9 Feb. 1297/8, and was buried in Oseney Abbey, Oxfordshire. Sandford Gen. Hist. of the Kings of England (1677): 116.

She became the second time a widow in 1271, and survived for many years after, a very wealthy lady, having no children by either husband. In 1285 she was returned as holding the manor of Hoke-Norton in Oxfordshire, in capite, by the sergeantry of carvng before our lord the King on Christmas Day, when she had for her fee the King's knife with which she cut. We find several records of her piety, particularly in Oxford and its vicinity; for she seems to have lived during her widowhood at Headington, only two miles from that city. In the year 1287 we find the Countess of Warwick visiting Lacock, on which occasion she quit-claimed to the abbey her title in the manor of Hatherop. She died on Sunday Feb. 6, 1297, and was buried at Ousney Abbey, near Oxford, where Leland saw her tomb, 'a very fair flat marble, in the habit of a vowess, graven in a copper plate.' Two Seals of this lady are extant. The first closely resembles that of her Mother, having on one side her own figure holding a hawk, and on the other side the arms of Longespé in a shield, with a lion above and below; it is inscribed on both side S. ELE LVNGESPEYE COMITISSE WARWIC. In her second Seal, the coat of Basset (wavy Or and Gules) is substituted for that of Longespe; the latter is placed in her hand, on the obverse, instead of the hawk, and is balanced by the coat of Newburgh, (checky Or and Azure, a chevron Ermine) placed over her right shoulder.

She married before Sept. 1197 WILLIAM LONGESPÉE, Knt., Earl of Salisbury, Lieutenant of Gascony, 1202, Seneschal of Avranches, 1203, Constable of Dover Castle and Warden of the Cinque Ports, 1204-6, Sheriff of Wiltshire, 1204-7, 1213-26, Lord of the Honour and Castle of Eye, 1205, Sheriff of Cambridgeshire and Huntingdonshire, 1212-16, Sheriff of Devon, 1217-18, Sheriff of Somersetshire, 1217, Sheriff of Lincolnshire, 1217-21, Sheriff of Shropshire and Staffordshire, 1223-4, Constable of Portchester, Southampton, and Winchester Castles, 1224, Keeper of the March of Wales, illegitimate son of Henry II, King of England, by his mistress, Ida, daughter of Ralph de Tony, of Flamstead, Hertfordshire [see ENGLAND 4 for his ancestry]. He was born say 1175-80. They had four sons, William, Knt. [Earl of Salisbury], Stephen, Knt., Richard [Canon of Salisbury], and Nicholas [Bishop of Salisbury], and six daughters, Ida, Mary, Isabel, Ela, Ida (2nd of name), and Pernel. In 1191 he was granted the manor of Kirton, Lincolnshire by his brother, King Richard I. He was present at the Coronation of his brother, King John, in 1199. In 1200 he witnessed the homage of William the Lion, King of Scots to King John at Lincoln. In 1202 he went on a diplomatic mission to France. In 1204 he escorted Llywelyn ap Iorwerth, Prince of North Wales, to the king. In 1206 he was in the escort of William the Lion, King of Scotland, to meet King John at York. In 1209 he headed an embassy to the prelates and princes of Germany, on behalf of the King's nephew, Otto, King of the Romans. In 1212 he and his wife, Ela, instituted suit in the king's court against Ela's kinsman, Henry de Bohun, for the entire barony of Trowbridge, Wiltshire, Henry's chief fief. The king assumed control of the honour, but allowed Earl William's agents to levy scutage from its tenants. In 1213 Earl William was joint commander of an expedition to help the Count of Flanders against France. In 1214, as Marshal of the King of England, he commanded forces which recovered nearly all of Flanders for the Count; after which he and the Counts of Flanders and Boulogne were captured at the Battle of Bouvines and thrown into prison in chains. He was released before May 1215, and returned to England. In 1215 he was present at Runnymeade on the king's side at the signing of the Magna Carta [Great Charter]. He was granted the manor of Andover, Hampshire in 1215 by his brother, King John. He remained a zealous royalist until June 1216, when he surrendered Salisbury Castle to Prince Louis. He returned his allegiance to the king before 7 March 1216/7, when his lands were restored to him. In August 1217 he was with Hubert de Burgh in the victory over the French fleet off Thanet. In 1217 he was granted the manor of Aldbourne, Wiltshire by the king. In 1220 he and his wife laid the 4th and 5th stones at the founding of the new Cathedral at Salisbury, Wiltshire. In 1222 he gave the manor of Heythrop, Gloucestershire to certain monks and brethren of the Carthusian order, and assigned part of his revenues towards the building of a monastery for them there. In 1223 he took part in the successful expedition against Llywelyn. In 1225 he went with Richard, Earl of Cornwall as a supervisory commander on a successful expedition to Gascony. He gave Bradenstoke Priory the advowson of the church of Rogerville (Seine-Inférieure), together with land and rents there and in Sandouville (Seine-Inférieure), and a virgate of land in Chitterne and one in Amesbury, Wiltshire. At an unspecified date William, with consent of Ela his wife, granted the land called "Chandewyk" to William de Nevill, which property he had by grant of Jordan de Saint Martin. SIR WILLIAM LONGESPÉE, Earl of Salisbury, died at Salisbury Castle, Wiltshire 7 March 1225/6, and was buried in Salisbury Cathedral, Wiltshire. He left a will dated Midlent 1225. Among other bequests he left 200 marks to the new building of the Salisbury Cathedral Church, plus £200 to the building of St. Mary Bentleywood, Wiltshire, together with his traveling chapel-furniture, breviary, and numerous head of cattle. In 1226 Humphrey de Bohun, Earl of Hereford, brought an action against Earl William's widow, Ela, over the castle and honour of Trowbridge, Wiltshire, including lands in Bishtopstrow, East Coulston, Manningford Bruce (in Wilsford), Newton Tony, Staverton (in Trowbridge), Trowbridge, and Wilsford, Wiltshire; the suit was settled by compromise in 1230, whereby the two parties divided the honour between them. In Jan. 1227 the king transferred Salisbury castle, together with the shrievalty of Wiltshire, to Ela during his pleasure, which she held until 1228. Further evidence of Ela's high standing in royal favour is indicated by the king's regular gifts of venison to her throughout the late 1220s, including one in Sept. 1227 to celebrate the forthcoming nuptials of her daughter, Mary. In 1227 the monks of Heythrop not liking their habitation, prevailed on Ela to remove them to Hinton, Somerset, where, in her park, she began a monastery for them, which was completed in 1232. In 1227 she granted all her land west of Bendeywood, Wiltshire to the Hospital of St. Nicholas' Hospital for the sustenance of the poor and infirm. In 1229 Countess Ela founded Lacock Abbey, Wiltshire. In April 1231 Ela secured custody of the county of Wiltshire and Salisbury Castle for the term of her life for a fine of 200 marks, the king stipulating that neither the countess or her heirs possessed any legal claim to the castle and county by hereditary right. She was co-heiress c.1232-3 to her mother, Eleanor de Vitré, by which she inherited an interest in the manor of Cowlinge, Suffolk. In Feb. 1236 her son and heir, William Longespée, guaranteed her gifts to Lacock Abbey, while she agreed to surrender all her lands, rents and rights to him on 1 Nov. following. On 25 October 1236 Ela, Countes of Salisbury, reached agreement with William Longespée, her first born son, that she may grant a moiety of the manor of Heddington, Wiltshire to Lacock Priory, which property fell to her on the death of Maud de Mandeville, Countess of Essex and Hereford. In the winter 1236-7 she resigned her custody of the county of Wiltshire. She subsequently entered her religious foundation at Lacock, where she took the veil before spring 1238. She served as abbess there from 1240 to 1257. In 1249 she gave formal license to her son, William, to depart on a crusade. In 1250, on the eve of the battle in which he was killed in Egypt, she saw a vision of him standing fully armed entering heaven, being joyfully received by attendant angels. She died 24 August 1261, and was buried in the convent choir beneath the altar at Lacock Abbey. Note: William Longespée, Earl of Salisbury has long been known to have been an illegitimate child of Henry II, King of England, allegedly by his mistress, Rosamond Clifford. As early as 1902, however, it was suspected that William Longespée's mother was connected to the Akeny family, a cadet branch of the Tony family [see Wordsworth 15th Cent. Cartulary of St. Nicholas' Hospital, Salisbury (1902): xxv, footnote 1]. New evidence has surfaced in recent years which proves conclusively that William Longespée was the son of King Henry II by another mistress, a certain Ida de Tony, afterwards wife of Roger le Bigod (died 1221), Earl of Norfolk [see C.P. 9 (1936): 586-589 (sub Norfolk); Kemp Reading Abbey Cartularies 1 (Camden 4th Ser. 31) (1986): 3711. For evidence that William Longespée was the son of Countess Ida le Bigod, see London Cartulary of Bradenstoke Priory (Wiltshire Rec. Soc. 35) (1979): 143, 188, which includes two charters in which Earl William Longespée specifically names his mother, Countess Ida. It is known from contemporary records that Countess Ida le Bigod had a younger son named Ralph le Bigod [see Thompson Libor Vita Ecclesia Dunelmenis (Surtees Soc. 136) (1923): fo. 63b]. Among the English prisoners captured at the Battle of Bouvines in 1214, there was a certain Ralph [le] Bigod, who a contemporary French record refers to as "brother" [that is, half-brother] of William Longespée, Earl of Salisbury [see Recueil des Historiens des Gaules et de la France 17 (1878): 101 (Guillelmus Armoricus: "Isti sunt Prisiones (capti in bello Bovinensi) ... Radulphus Bigot, frater Comitis Saresburiensis"); see also Malo Un Grand Feudataire, Renaud de Dammartin et la Coalition de Bouvines (1898):199, 209, which author identified Ralph le Bigod as brother of William Longespée, Earl of Salisbury]. For evidence that Countess Ida was a member of the Tony family, see Morris Bigod Earls of Norfolk (2005): 2, who cites a royal inquest dated 1275, in which jurors affirmed that Earl Roger le Bigod was given Ida de Tony in marriage by King Henry II, together with the manors of Acle, Halvergate, and South Walsharn, Norfolk [which properties were formerly held by Earl Roger's father] [see Rotuli Hundredorum 1 (1812): 504, 537]. Morris shows that Earl Roger le Bigod received these manors by writ of the king, he having held them for three quarters of a year at Michaelmas 1182 [see PR 28 Henry II, 1181-1182 (Pipe Roll Soc.) (1910): 64]. This appears to pinpoint to marriage of Ida de Tony and Earl Roger le Bigod as having occurred about Christmas 1181. As for Countess Ida's parentage, it seems certain that she was a daughter of Ralph de Tony (died 1162), of Flamstead, Hertfordshire, by his wife, Margaret (b. c.1125, living 1185), daughter of Robert of Meulan, Knt., 1st Earl of Leicester [see C.P. 7 (1929): 530, footnote e (incorrectly dates Ralph and Margaret's marriage as "after 1155" based on the misdating of a charter - correction provided by Ray Phair); C.P. 12(1) (1953): 764-765 (sub Tony); Power Norman Frontier in the 12th & Early 13th Cents. (2004): 525 (Tosny ped.)]. For evidence which supports Ida's placement as a child of Ralph de Tony, several facts may be noted. First, Countess Ida and her husband, Roger le Bigod, are known to have named children, Ralph and Margaret, presumably in honor of Ida's parents, Ralph and Margaret de Tony [see Thompson Libor Vita Ecclesia Dunelmenis (Surtees Soc. 136) (1923): fo. 63b1. Countess Ida was herself evidently named in honor of Ralph de Tony's mother, Ida of Hainault. Second, Morris notes that Ida de Tony was a royal ward at the time of her marriage to Roger le Bigod, meaning she was in the king's gift and that her father was previously a tenant in chief of the king who presumably would have died sometime between 1161 and 1182 [Morris, ibid.]. The only plausible male candidate in the Tony family who could fit to be Ida's father who was also a tenant in chief of the king is Ralph de Tony. Next, William Longespée and his descendants had a long standing association with the family of Roger de Akeny, of Garsington, Oxfordshire, which Roger was a younger brother of Ralph de Tony (died 1162) [see C.P. 8 (1932): chart foll. 464; 14 (1998): 614; Loyd Origins of Some Anglo-Norman Fams. (1951): 2; VCH Oxford 5 (1957): 138; Harper-Bill Dodnash Priory Charters (Suffolk Rec. Soc. 16) (1998): 34-37, 39-40, 72-73; Fam. Hist. 18 (1995-97): 47-64; 19 (1998): 125-129]. Lastly, Roger le Bigod and his step-son, William Longespée, both had associations with William the lion, King of Scots, which connection can be readily explained by virtue of King William's wife, Ermengarde, being sister to Constance de Beaumont, wife of Countess Ida's presumed brother, Roger de Tony [see C.P. 12(1) (1953): 760-769 (sub Tony)]. King William the Lion was likewise near related to both of Countess Ida's presumed parents, her father by a shared descent from Countess Judith, the niece of King William the Conqueror, and her mother by a shared descent from Isabel de Vermandois, Countess of Surrey. Roger le Bigod and William Longespée were both present with other English relations of William the lion at an important gathering at Lincoln in 1200, when William the lion paid homage to King John of England [see Stubbs Chronica Magistri Rogeri de Houedene 4 (Rolls Ser. 51) (1871): 141-142]. Thus, naming patterns, familial and political associations give strong evidence that Ida, wife of Earl Roger le Bigod, was a daughter of Ralph de Tony. Sandford Gen.

STEPHEN LONGESPÉE, Knt., of King's Sutton, Northamptonshire, Great Gaddesden, Hertfordshire, Stokes, Oxfordshire, and Wanborough, Wiltshire, Seneschal of Gascony, Justiciar of Ireland, Constable of Bourg-sur-Mer (in Gironde), Corfe, and Sherbome Castles, and, in right of his wife, of Corrofin, co. Mayo and Kilkea and Tirsteldermot, co. Connacht, Ireland, 2nd son. He witnessed a charter for Baldwin III, Count of Guisnes, in 1241. The same year he acknowledged he owed Richard Basset a debt of 20 marks. He married between 8 Feb. 1242/3 and 16 Dec. 1244 EMELINE DE RIDELISFORD, widow of Hugh de Lacy, 1st Earl of Ulster (died 1242), and daughter and co-heiress of Walter de Ridelisford, of Bray, Admekin (or Headford), Corofin, and Tristledermot (or Casdedermot), Ireland, by his wife, Armor. They had two daughters, Ela and Emeline. In 1243/6 he witnessed a charter of his cousin, Richard, Earl of Cornwall, to Shaftesbury Abbey. In 1247 he was pardoned a debt of £33 and a half mark by Licoria wife of David of Oxford the Jew. He presented to the church of Great Gaddesden, Hertfordshire in 1247. He took the cross in 1250. In 1251 he had a dispute with the Prior of St. Swithun's concerning lands in Hyneton. In 1255 he went to Gascony with Edward the king's son. In 1258 he was granted wardship of the land and heirs of his late brother-in-law, Walter Fitz Robert, by Edward the king's son for 3,000 marks. At some undetermined date, he was a benefactor of St. Giles Priory at Flamstead, Hertfordshire. SIR STEPHEN LONGESPÉE died testate shortly before 25 June 1260, and was buried at Lacock Priory, Wiltshire. In 1262 his widow, Emeline, conveyed one messuage, various lands, and pasture for eight cattle in Purscaule, Dorset to Juliane, Abbess of Shaftesbury. Emeline subsequently erected a chapel at Wanborough, Wiltshire in 1270, and endowed it for the maintenance of two chaplains. In 1274-5 Hugh le Mouner arraigned an assize against her touching a pond levied in Denford, Berkshire.

Child of Stephen Longespée, Knt., by Emeline de Ridelisford: a. EMELINE LONGESPÉE, 2nd daughter, born about 1252 (aged 24 in 1276). She married (as his 2nd wife) before 24 July 1276 MAURICE FITZ MAURICE, Knt., Justiciar of Ireland, 1272-3, son and heir of Maurice Fitz Gerald, 2nd Baron of Offaly in Ireland, Justiciar of Ireland, by his wife, Juliane. He was born about 1238. They had no issue. He married (1st) shortly before 28 October 1259 (date of dispensation to remove impediment to marriage) MAUD DE PRENDERGAST [see PRENDERGAST 8], born about 1242, widow successively of David Fitz Maurice (died 1249) and Maurice de Rochford (died 1258), and daughter and coheiress of Gerald de Prendergast (died 1251), of Beauvoir (or Carrigaline) and Ballacha in Orrery, co. Cork, Ireland, by his 2nd wife, ___, daughter of Richard de Burgh, lord of Connacht, Justiciar of Ireland [see PRENDERGAST 7 for her ancestry]. By his 1st wife, Maud de Prendergast, he had two daughters, Juliane (wife of Thomas de Clare, Knt., lord of Thomond in Connacht [see BADLESMERE 8]) and Amabil. He obtained lands in Connaught by feoffment of his father. In 1259 he was granted Athlone Castle and the shrievalty of Connaught. In 1260 he succeeded in plundering the O'Donnells, but was defeated in an expedition against Conor O'Brian at Coill-Berrain in Munster. He was summoned to England in 1262. In 1264 he was ordered to secure the Irish lands of the young Earl of Gloucester. In 1264 he took the justiciar, Thebaud le Boteler (or Butler), and John Cogan prisoners. He was twice granted letters of protection to England in 1266. In 1272 or 1273 he led another expedition against Brian Ruadh O'Brien. In 1276-7 Maurice and his wife, Emeline, brought an assize of novel disseisin against Humphrey de Bohun, Earl of Hereford and Essex, and others regarding a tenement in Denford (in Kintbury), Berkshire. In 1277 he accompanied his son-in-law, Thomas de Clare, against Brian Ruadh O'Brien, King of 'Thomond; Brian was taken prisoner and beheaded. SIR MAURICE FITZ MAURICE died testate shortly before 2 Sept. 1277. In 1292 his widow, Emeline, sued Thomas Fitz Maurice for the manor of Killorglin, co. Kerry, Ireland, which she claimed as her right by the gift of Christina de Marsh who previously had enfeoffed her and Maurice her late husband; the defendant vouched to warranty Gilbert de Clare, minor son and heir of Thomas de Clare. His widow, Emeline, was a legatee in the 1294 will of her uncle, Nicholas Longespée, Bishop of Salisbury. In 1298-9 she had a suit with John de Inteberge about lands at Kilcaly, near Limerick. In 1305-6 she settled the manor of Denford (in Kintbury), Berkshire on herself, with reversion to her great niece, Maud la Zouche, then betrothed to Robert de Holand, Knt., afterwards 1st Lord Holand. In 1314 she was granted the manor of Avington, Berkshire for life by Thomas, Earl of Lancaster. She presented to the chapel of Wanborough, Wiltshire in 1316. In 1322, staying in England, she had letters appointing attorneys to represent her in Ireland for two years. She died shortly before 23 May 1331.

ALICE LONGESPÉE, married (1st) 1260-1 GEOFFREY DE JARPENVILLE Alice's maritagium included a messuage and lands in Little Stanmore, Middlesex, formerly belonging to Henry Bucointe, Knt., and land formerly held of her father, Nicholas Longespée, by Ralph de la Forde and others in a field called "Colemannesdene." They presumably had one son, Nicholas (living 1294). Before 1277 Alice's lands in Little Stanmore, Middlesex were fraudulently acquired by the moneylender, Adam de Stratton. She presumably married (2nd) WILLIAM DE BARNEVILLE, of Harrow, Middlesex. They had one son, John, of Little Stanmore and Oakington (in Harrow), Middlesex (occurs 1294-1337), and one daughter, Margaret, both of whom were legatees in the 1294 will of their grandfather, Bishop Nicholas Longespée. William (husband of Alice) was also appointed one of the executors of the 1294 will of Bishop Longespée. On Adam de Stratton's disgrace in 1290, Alice presumably recovered her lands, as her son, John de Barneville, later had lands in this parish [see C.P.R. 1313-1317 (1898): 558)]. WILLIAM DE BARNEVILLE was living in 1297/8. Alice and her 2nd husband, William de Barneville, are direct ancestors of William Barnville, of Harrow, Middlesex (died c.1397), Knight of the Shire for Middlesex, whose son (or grandson), John Barnville (died before 1482), left a daughter and heiress, Elizabeth Barnville [wife of Thomas Frowick, Knt, Chief Justice of the Common Pleas (died 1506) and Thomas Jakes, Esq.

ELA LONGSPEE, married THOMAS OF WARWICK, Knt., 6th Earl of Warwick, son and heir of Henry, Earl of Warwick, by his 1st wife, Margery, daughter of Herity d'Oilly. He was presumably of age in 1229. They had no issue. He carried the third sword at the Coronation of Queen Eleanor in 1236. He died 26 (or 27) June 1242, and was buried in St. Mary's, Warwick. In 1247 his widow, Ela, Countess of Warwick, and Simon Fitz Simon sued John de Plescy, Earl of Warwick, and his wife, Margery, in a plea of warranty. Ela married (2nd) after Nov. 1254 and before 23 March 1254/5 (as his 2nd wife) PHILIP BASSET, Knt., of Soham, Cambridgeshire, Wycombe, Buckinghamshire, Maplederwell, Hampshire, Kirdington, Oxfordshire, Woking, Surrey, Wootton Basset, Wiltshire, etc., Constable of Colchester, Corfe, Devizes, Hadleigh, Oxford, and Sherbome Castles, 1259, Justiciar of England, Keeper of the Tower of London, younger son of Alan Basset, of Wootton Basset, Wiltshire, Wycombe, Buckinghamshire, Maplederwell, Hampshire, Woking, Surrey, etc., by Aline, daughter and co-heiress Philip de Gay, of Wootton Bassett and Broadtown, Wiltshire and Northbrook, Oxfordshire. They had no issue. In the period, 1230-41, his brother, Gilbert Basset, conveyed to him land in Middleton, late of Thomas Basset their older brother. In 1233 he helped free Hubert de Burgh, Earl of Kent, from captivity in Devizes Castle in Wiltshire; in return in 1234 Hubert de Burgh gave him 176 acres of his demesne land in Soham, Cambridgeshite, with lordship over numerous tenants. In 1238-9 he was granted lands in Soham and Fordham, Cambridgeshire by Peter de Bendenges and his wife Burga. In 1242 he was appointed one of the Constables of the Host, then about to set out for Poitou. In consideration of his services there, he was granted the manor of Kersey, Suffolk -- 1243. In 1245 he was appointed ambassador to the Council of Lyons. About 1245 he obtained a license to build a chapel in Soham, Cambridgeshire and to hear service therein. In 1252 William de Wydindon demised to him land and wood of `Okregge' in West Wycombe, Buckinghamshire for a term of seven years; Philip promised to keep William in his service, providing him food and clothing as one of his own esquires and supplying him with another horse if his own died; the grant was made perpetual in 1254. He fought in Wales in 1258. Philip was heir in 1259 to his older brother, Fulk Basset, Bishop of London. In 1260 Simon, Abbot of Bury St. Edmunds, demised the manor of Stapleford Abbots, Essex to him. The same year, at the instance of his cousin, Ela, Countess of Warwick, the king granted the abbess and nuns of Lacock Abbey quittance from cheminage in all the king's forests in Wiltshire and Gloucestershire. In 1261 he had a grant of 1000 marks per annum to maintain him in the office of Justiciar. About 1261 Laurence de Sanford granted him the manor of Lecquid, Glamorgan, Wales. In 1261-2 Thomas de Awelton and Agnes his wife conveyed lands in Doddington and Northwode, Cambridgeshire to Philip and his wife, Ela. In 1262 John de Burgh and Hawise his wife leased lands in Soham, Fordharn, Landwade, Wykes, Hanney, etc., Cambridgeshire to Sir Philip Basset for a term of 16 years for the sum of 400/. in hand. In 1262 Philip leased land in Rotherwick, Hampshire from Richard de la Rugge. The same year Richard, King of the Romans, quitclaimed to him all suit of court at Wallingford, Berkshire for life. He fought on the king's side at the Battle of Lewes in 1264, where the king was taken prisoner by the barons. In 1266 Thomas de Gay, rector of the church of Wootton Basset, Wiltshire, granted Philip his free chapel at Fasterne, Wiltshire, with renunciation of all right to sell the offerings made therein; the said Philip to pay 20s. yearly to the parish church of Wootton. In 1267 the king granted him for life a deer leap at his new park below his town of Wootton Basset, Wiltshire, and another at his old park below his manor of "la Fasteme." In 1267-8 his wife, Ela, gave property in Stinkinglane, in the parish of St. Nicholas de Macellis, London to the City of London for the use of the Franciscans. At an unknown date, Richard son of Richard de la Wyz released to him all his right in a meadow with pasture for six cattle in Compton, Wiltshire. Sometime before 1271 John de Burgh granted that he pay him 20s. yearly to the custody of Dover Castle, due from the manor of Beeston, which Philip holds from him. SIR PHILIP BASSET died testate 29 October 1271, and was buried at Stanley, Wiltshire. In 1278 his widow, Ela, complained that when she sent John the reeve of Claverdon to Brandon Castle, Warwickshire with a letter for 10 marks which Thebaud de Verdun owed her as relief for the manor, Eleanor, widow of John de Verdun (step-mother of Thebaud de Verdun) and her men took away the letter and imprisoned him for one night. In 1280 Ela was summoned to show by what warrant she took the fines of the breaches of the assize of bread and ale in Maplederwell, Hampshire, and to show cause why she should not permit her villeins of Maplederwell to make suit at the king's hundred court of Basingstoke. The same year she sued Hugh de Courtenay and his wife Eleanor (Ela's step-granddaughter) for one messuage and lands in Wootton Courtney, Somerset, which she claimed to be her right by the gift of Hugh de Neville; the jury found in favor of Hugh and Eleanor. In 1289 Ela, Countess of Warwick, was summoned to answer Hugh le Despenser on a plea as to why she had committed waste in the woods which she held in dower of Hugh's inheritance in Compton Bassett and Wolfhale, Wiltshire to Hugh's disinheritance. In 1290 she granted a messuage and 1/2 virgate of land in Nateley Eastrop, a croft of eight acres in Up Nately, and a messuage and garden in Maplederwell, all in Hampshire, to John, Bishop of Winchester, for use of a chantry and maintenance of a chaplain in the chapel of Maplederwell. In 1293 Hugh le Despenser confirmed the grant of Lady Ela Longespée, late the wife of Philip Basset, to Adam de Stock and Roger de Stock his brother of lands in Wolfhale, Wiltshire which she held in dower of Hugh's inheritance. Ela, Countess of Warwick, died 9 Feb. 1297/8, and was buried in Oseney Abbey, Oxfordshire. Sandford Gen. Hist. of the Kings of England (1677): 116.

She became the second time a widow in 1271, and survived for many years after, a very wealthy lady, having no children by either husband. In 1285 she was returned as holding the manor of Hoke-Norton in Oxfordshire, in capite, by the sergeantry of carvng before our lord the King on Christmas Day, when she had for her fee the King's knife with which she cut. We find several records of her piety, particularly in Oxford and its vicinity; for she seems to have lived during her widowhood at Headington, only two miles from that city. In the year 1287 we find the Countess of Warwick visiting Lacock, on which occasion she quit-claimed to the abbey her title in the manor of Hatherop. She died on Sunday Feb. 6, 1297, and was buried at Ousney Abbey, near Oxford, where Leland saw her tomb, 'a very fair flat marble, in the habit of a vowess, graven in a copper plate.' Two Seals of this lady are extant. The first closely resembles that of her Mother, having on one side her own figure holding a hawk, and on the other side the arms of Longespé in a shield, with a lion above and below; it is inscribed on both side S.

In her second Seal, the coat of Basset (wavy Or and Gules) is substituted for that of Longespe; the latter is placed in her hand, on the obverse, instead of the hawk, and is balanced by the coat of Newburgh, (checky Or and Azure, a chevron Ermine) placed over her right shoulder.

7106	RESEARCH_NOTES: 1. “Royal Ancestry: A Study in Colonial & Medieval Families,” Douglas Richardson (2013): “ELA OF SALISBURY, suo jure Countess of Salisbury, daughter and heiress, born in or about 1191. She married before Sept. 1197 WILLIAM LONGESPÉE, Knt., Earl of Salisbury, Lieutenant of Gascony, 1202, Seneschal of Avranches, 1203, Constable of Dover Castle and Warden of the Cinque Ports, 1204-6, Sheriff of Wiltshire, 1204-7, 1213-26, Lord of the Honour and Castle of Eye, 1205, Sheriff of Cambridgeshire and Huntingdonshire, 1212-16, Sheriff of Devon, 1217-18, Sheriff of Somersetshire, 1217, Sheriff of Lincolnshire, 1217-21, Sheriff of Shropshire and Staffordshire, 1223-4, Constable of Portchester, Southampton, and Winchester Castles, 1224, Keeper of the March of Wales, illegitimate son of Henry II, King of England, by his mistress, Ida, daughter of Ralph de Tony, of Flamstead, Hertfordshire [see ENGLAND 4 for his ancestry]. He was born say 1175-80. They had four sons, William, Knt. [Earl of Salisbury], Stephen, Knt., Richard [Canon of Salisbury], and Nicholas [Bishop of Salisbury], and six daughters, Ida, Mary, Isabel, Ela, Ida (2nd of name), and Pernel. In 1191 he was granted the manor of Kirton, Lincolnshire by his brother, King Richard I. He was present at the Coronation of his brother, King John, in 1199. In 1200 he witnessed the homage of William the Lion, King of Scots to King John at Lincoln. In 1202 he went on a diplomatic mission to France. In 1204 he escorted Llywelyn ap Iorwerth, Prince of North Wales, to the king. In 1206 he was in the escort of William the Lion, King of Scotland, to meet King John at York. In 1209 he headed an embassy to the prelates and princes of Germany, on behalf of the King's nephew, Otto, King of the Romans. In 1212 he and his wife, Ela, instituted suit in the king's court against Ela's kinsman, Henry de Bohun, for the entire barony of Trowbridge, Wiltshire, Henry's chief fief. The king assumed control of the honour, but allowed Earl William's agents to levy scutage from its tenants. In 1213 Earl William was joint commander of an expedition to help the Count of Flanders against France. In 1214, as Marshal of the King of England, he commanded forces which recovered nearly all of Flanders for the Count; after which he and the Counts of Flanders and Boulogne were captured at the Battle of Bouvines and thrown into prison in chains. He was released before May 1215, and returned to England. In 1215 he was present at Runnymeade on the king's side at the signing of the Magna Carta [Great Charter]. He was granted the manor of Andover, Hampshire in 1215 by his brother, King John. He remained a zealous royalist until June 1216, when he surrendered Salisbury Castle to Prince Louis. He returned his allegiance to the king before 7 March 1216/7, when his lands were restored to him. In August 1217 he was with Hubert de Burgh in the victory over the French fleet off Thanet. In 1217 he was granted the manor of Aldbourne, Wiltshire by the king. In 1220 he and his wife laid the 4th and 5th stones at the founding of the new Cathedral at Salisbury, Wiltshire. In 1222 he gave the manor of Heythrop, Gloucestershire to certain monks and brethren of the Carthusian order, and assigned part of his revenues towards the building of a monastery for them there. In 1223 he took part in the successful expedition against Llywelyn. In 1225 he went with Richard, Earl of Cornwall as a supervisory commander on a successful expedition to Gascony. He gave Bradenstoke Priory the advowson of the church of Rogerville (Seine-Inférieure), together with land and rents there and in Sandouville (Seine-Inférieure), and a virgate of land in Chitterne and one in Amesbury, Wiltshire. At an unspecified date William, with consent of Ela his wife, granted the land called "Chandewyk" to William de Nevill, which property he had by grant of Jordan de Saint Martin. SIR WILLIAM LONGESPÉE, Earl of Salisbury, died at Salisbury Castle, Wiltshire 7 March 1225/6, and was buried in Salisbury Cathedral, Wiltshire. He left a will dated Midlent 1225. Among other bequests he left 200 marks to the new building of the Salisbury Cathedral Church, plus £200 to the building of St. Mary Bentleywood, Wiltshire, together with his traveling chapel-furniture, breviary, and numerous head of cattle. In 1226 Humphrey de Bohun, Earl of Hereford, brought an action against Earl William's widow, Ela, over the castle and honour of Trowbridge, Wiltshire, including lands in Bishtopstrow, East Coulston, Manningford Bruce (in Wilsford), Newton Tony, Staverton (in Trowbridge), Trowbridge, and Wilsford, Wiltshire; the suit was settled by compromise in 1230, whereby the two parties divided the honour between them. In Jan. 1227 the king transferred Salisbury castle, together with the shrievalty of Wiltshire, to Ela during his pleasure, which she held until 1228. Further evidence of Ela's high standing in royal favour is indicated by the king's regular gifts of venison to her throughout the late 1220s, including one in Sept. 1227 to celebrate the forthcoming nuptials of her daughter, Mary. In 1227 the monks of Heythrop not liking their habitation, prevailed on Ela to remove them to Hinton, Somerset, where, in her park, she began a monastery for them, which was completed in 1232. In 1227 she granted all her land west of Bendeywood, Wiltshire to the Hospital of St. Nicholas' Hospital for the sustenance of the poor and infirm. In 1229 Countess Ela founded Lacock Abbey, Wiltshire. In April 1231 Ela secured custody of the county of Wiltshire and Salisbury Castle for the term of her life for a fine of 200 marks, the king stipulating that neither the countess or her heirs possessed any legal claim to the castle and county by hereditary right. She was co-heiress c.1232-3 to her mother, Eleanor de Vitré, by which she inherited an interest in the manor of Cowlinge, Suffolk. In Feb. 1236 her son and heir, William Longespée, guaranteed her gifts to Lacock Abbey, while she agreed to surrender all her lands, rents and rights to him on 1 Nov. following. On 25 October 1236 Ela, Countes of Salisbury, reached agreement with William Longespée, her first born son, that she may grant a moiety of the manor of Heddington, Wiltshire to Lacock Priory, which property fell to her on the death of Maud de Mandeville, Countess of Essex and Hereford. In the winter 1236-7 she resigned her custody of the county of Wiltshire. She subsequently entered her religious foundation at Lacock, where she took the veil before spring 1238. She served as abbess there from 1240 to 1257. In 1249 she gave formal license to her son, William, to depart on a crusade. In 1250, on the eve of the battle in which he was killed in Egypt, she saw a vision of him standing fully armed entering heaven, being joyfully received by attendant angels. She died 24 August 1261, and was buried in the convent choir beneath the altar at Lacock Abbey. Note: William Longespée, Earl of Salisbury has long been known to have been an illegitimate child of Henry II, King of England, allegedly by his mistress, Rosamond Clifford. As early as 1902, however, it was suspected that William Longespée's mother was connected to the Akeny family, a cadet branch of the Tony family [see Wordsworth 15th Cent. Cartulary of St. Nicholas' Hospital, Salisbury (1902): xxv, footnote 1]. New evidence has surfaced in recent years which proves conclusively that William Longespée was the son of King Henry II by another mistress, a certain Ida de Tony, afterwards wife of Roger le Bigod (died 1221), Earl of Norfolk [see C.P. 9 (1936): 586-589 (sub Norfolk); Kemp Reading Abbey Cartularies 1 (Camden 4th Ser. 31) (1986): 3711. For evidence that William Longespée was the son of Countess Ida le Bigod, see London Cartulary of Bradenstoke Priory (Wiltshire Rec. Soc. 35) (1979): 143, 188, which includes two charters in which Earl William Longespée specifically names his mother, Countess Ida. It is known from contemporary records that Countess Ida le Bigod had a younger son named Ralph le Bigod [see Thompson Libor Vita Ecclesia Dunelmenis (Surtees Soc. 136) (1923): fo. 63b]. Among the English prisoners captured at the Battle of Bouvines in 1214, there was a certain Ralph [le] Bigod, who a contemporary French record refers to as "brother" [that is, half-brother] of William Longespée, Earl of Salisbury [see Recueil des Historiens des Gaules et de la France 17 (1878): 101 (Guillelmus Armoricus: "Isti sunt Prisiones (capti in bello Bovinensi) ... Radulphus Bigot, frater Comitis Saresburiensis"); see also Malo Un Grand Feudataire, Renaud de Dammartin et la Coalition de Bouvines (1898):199, 209, which author identified Ralph le Bigod as brother of William Longespée, Earl of Salisbury]. For evidence that Countess Ida was a member of the Tony family, see Morris Bigod Earls of Norfolk (2005): 2, who cites a royal inquest dated 1275, in which jurors affirmed that Earl Roger le Bigod was given Ida de Tony in marriage by King Henry II, together with the manors of Acle, Halvergate, and South Walsharn, Norfolk [which properties were formerly held by Earl Roger's father] [see Rotuli Hundredorum 1 (1812): 504, 537]. Morris shows that Earl Roger le Bigod received these manors by writ of the king, he having held them for three quarters of a year at Michaelmas 1182 [see PR 28 Henry II, 1181-1182 (Pipe Roll Soc.) (1910): 64]. This appears to pinpoint to marriage of Ida de Tony and Earl Roger le Bigod as having occurred about Christmas 1181. As for Countess Ida's parentage, it seems certain that she was a daughter of Ralph de Tony (died 1162), of Flamstead, Hertfordshire, by his wife, Margaret (b. c.1125, living 1185), daughter of Robert of Meulan, Knt., 1st Earl of Leicester [see C.P. 7 (1929): 530, footnote e (incorrectly dates Ralph and Margaret's marriage as "after 1155" based on the misdating of a charter - correction provided by Ray Phair); C.P. 12(1) (1953): 764-765 (sub Tony); Power Norman Frontier in the 12th & Early 13th Cents. (2004): 525 (Tosny ped.)]. For evidence which supports Ida's placement as a child of Ralph de Tony, several facts may be noted. First, Countess Ida and her husband, Roger le Bigod, are known to have named children, Ralph and Margaret, presumably in honor of Ida's parents, Ralph and Margaret de Tony [see Thompson Libor Vita Ecclesia Dunelmenis (Surtees Soc. 136) (1923): fo. 63b1. Countess Ida was herself evidently named in honor of Ralph de Tony's mother, Ida of Hainault. Second, Morris notes that Ida de Tony was a royal ward at the time of her marriage to Roger le Bigod, meaning she was in the king's gift and that her father was previously a tenant in chief of the king who presumably would have died sometime between 1161 and 1182 [Morris, ibid.]. The only plausible male candidate in the Tony family who could fit to be Ida's father who was also a tenant in chief of the king is Ralph de Tony. Next, William Longespée and his descendants had a long standing association with the family of Roger de Akeny, of Garsington, Oxfordshire, which Roger was a younger brother of Ralph de Tony (died 1162) [see C.P. 8 (1932): chart foll. 464; 14 (1998): 614; Loyd Origins of Some Anglo-Norman Fams. (1951): 2; VCH Oxford 5 (1957): 138; Harper-Bill Dodnash Priory Charters (Suffolk Rec. Soc. 16) (1998): 34-37, 39-40, 72-73; Fam. Hist. 18 (1995-97): 47-64; 19 (1998): 125-129]. Lastly, Roger le Bigod and his step-son, William Longespée, both had associations with William the lion, King of Scots, which connection can be readily explained by virtue of King William's wife, Ermengarde, being sister to Constance de Beaumont, wife of Countess Ida's presumed brother, Roger de Tony [see C.P. 12(1) (1953): 760-769 (sub Tony)]. King William the Lion was likewise near related to both of Countess Ida's presumed parents, her father by a shared descent from Countess Judith, the niece of King William the Conqueror, and her mother by a shared descent from Isabel de Vermandois, Countess of Surrey. Roger le Bigod and William Longespée were both present with other English relations of William the lion at an important gathering at Lincoln in 1200, when William the lion paid homage to King John of England [see Stubbs Chronica Magistri Rogeri de Houedene 4 (Rolls Ser. 51) (1871): 141-142]. Thus, naming patterns, familial and political associations give strong evidence that Ida, wife of Earl Roger le Bigod, was a daughter of Ralph de Tony. Sandford Gen.

Mayo and Kilkea and Tirsteldermot, co. Connacht, Ireland, 2nd son. He witnessed a charter for Baldwin III, Count of Guisnes, in 1241. The same year he acknowledged he owed Richard Basset a debt of 20 marks. He married between 8 Feb. 1242/3 and 16 Dec. 1244 EMELINE DE RIDELISFORD, widow of Hugh de Lacy, 1st Earl of Ulster (died 1242), and daughter and co-heiress of Walter de Ridelisford, of Bray, Admekin (or Headford), Corofin, and Tristledermot (or Casdedermot), Ireland, by his wife, Armor. They had two daughters, Ela and Emeline. In 1243/6 he witnessed a charter of his cousin, Richard, Earl of Cornwall, to Shaftesbury Abbey. In 1247 he was pardoned a debt of £33 and a half mark by Licoria wife of David of Oxford the Jew. He presented to the church of Great Gaddesden, Hertfordshire in 1247. He took the cross in 1250. In 1251 he had a dispute with the Prior of St. Swithun's concerning lands in Hyneton. In 1255 he went to Gascony with Edward the king's son. In 1258 he was granted wardship of the land and heirs of his late brother-in-law, Walter Fitz Robert, by Edward the king's son for 3,000 marks. At some undetermined date, he was a benefactor of St. Giles Priory at Flamstead, Hertfordshire. SIR STEPHEN LONGESPÉE died testate shortly before 25 June 1260, and was buried at Lacock Priory, Wiltshire. In 1262 his widow, Emeline, conveyed one messuage, various lands, and pasture for eight cattle in Purscaule, Dorset to Juliane, Abbess of Shaftesbury. Emeline subsequently erected a chapel at Wanborough, Wiltshire in 1270, and endowed it for the maintenance of two chaplains. In 1274-5 Hugh le Mouner arraigned an assize against her touching a pond levied in Denford, Berkshire. In the same period, Agnes daughter of Walter le Clere arraigned an assize of novel disseisin against her touching a tenement in King's Sutton, Northamptonshire. Emeline, Countess of Ulster, died between 18 May 1275 and 19 July 1276. Sandford Gen. Hist. of the Kings of England (1677): 116.

Child of Stephen Longespée, Knt., by Emeline de Ridelisford: a. EMELINE LONGESPÉE, 2nd daughter, born about 1252 (aged 24 in 1276). She married (as his 2nd wife) before 24 July 1276 MAURICE FITZ MAURICE, Knt., Justiciar of Ireland, 1272-3, son and heir of Maurice Fitz Gerald, 2nd Baron of Offaly in Ireland, Justiciar of Ireland, by his wife, Juliane. He was born about 1238. They had no issue. He married (1st) shortly before 28 October 1259 (date of dispensation to remove impediment to marriage) MAUD DE PRENDERGAST [see PRENDERGAST 8], born about 1242, widow successively of David Fitz Maurice (died 1249) and Maurice de Rochford (died 1258), and daughter and coheiress of Gerald de Prendergast (died 1251), of Beauvoir (or Carrigaline) and Ballacha in Orrery, co. Cork, Ireland, by his 2nd wife, ___, daughter of Richard de Burgh, lord of Connacht, Justiciar of Ireland [see PRENDERGAST 7 for her ancestry]. By his 1st wife, Maud de Prendergast, he had two daughters, Juliane (wife of Thomas de Clare, Knt., lord of Thomond in Connacht [see BADLESMERE 8]) and Amabil. He obtained lands in Connaught by feoffment of his father. In 1259 he was granted Athlone Castle and the shrievalty of Connaught. In 1260 he succeeded in plundering the O'Donnells, but was defeated in an expedition against Conor O'Brian at Coill-Berrain in Munster. He was summoned to England in 1262. In 1264 he was ordered to secure the Irish lands of the young Earl of Gloucester. In 1264 he took the justiciar, Thebaud le Boteler (or Butler), and John Cogan prisoners. He was twice granted letters of protection to England in 1266. In 1272 or 1273 he led another expedition against Brian Ruadh O'Brien. In 1276-7 Maurice and his wife, Emeline, brought an assize of novel disseisin against Humphrey de Bohun, Earl of Hereford and Essex, and others regarding a tenement in Denford (in Kintbury), Berkshire. In 1277 he accompanied his son-in-law, Thomas de Clare, against Brian Ruadh O'Brien, King of 'Thomond; Brian was taken prisoner and beheaded. SIR MAURICE FITZ MAURICE died testate shortly before 2 Sept. 1277. In 1292 his widow, Emeline, sued Thomas Fitz Maurice for the manor of Killorglin, co. Kerry, Ireland, which she claimed as her right by the gift of Christina de Marsh who previously had enfeoffed her and Maurice her late husband; the defendant vouched to warranty Gilbert de Clare, minor son and heir of Thomas de Clare. His widow, Emeline, was a legatee in the 1294 will of her uncle, Nicholas Longespée, Bishop of Salisbury. In 1298-9 she had a suit with John de Inteberge about lands at Kilcaly, near Limerick. In 1305-6 she settled the manor of Denford (in Kintbury), Berkshire on herself, with reversion to her great niece, Maud la Zouche, then betrothed to Robert de Holand, Knt., afterwards 1st Lord Holand. In 1314 she was granted the manor of Avington, Berkshire for life by Thomas, Earl of Lancaster. She presented to the chapel of Wanborough, Wiltshire in 1316. In 1322, staying in England, she had letters appointing attorneys to represent her in Ireland for two years. She died shortly before 23 May 1331.

They had no issue. He carried the third sword at the Coronation of Queen Eleanor in 1236. He died 26 (or 27) June 1242, and was buried in St. Mary's, Warwick. In 1247 his widow, Ela, Countess of Warwick, and Simon Fitz Simon sued John de Plescy, Earl of Warwick, and his wife, Margery, in a plea of warranty. Ela married (2nd) after Nov. 1254 and before 23 March 1254/5 (as his 2nd wife) PHILIP BASSET, Knt., of Soham, Cambridgeshire, Wycombe, Buckinghamshire, Maplederwell, Hampshire, Kirdington, Oxfordshire, Woking, Surrey, Wootton Basset, Wiltshire, etc., Constable of Colchester, Corfe, Devizes, Hadleigh, Oxford, and Sherbome Castles, 1259, Justiciar of England, Keeper of the Tower of London, younger son of Alan Basset, of Wootton Basset, Wiltshire, Wycombe, Buckinghamshire, Maplederwell, Hampshire, Woking, Surrey, etc., by Aline, daughter and co-heiress Philip de Gay, of Wootton Bassett and Broadtown, Wiltshire and Northbrook, Oxfordshire. They had no issue. In the period, 1230-41, his brother, Gilbert Basset, conveyed to him land in Middleton, late of Thomas Basset their older brother. In 1233 he helped free Hubert de Burgh, Earl of Kent, from captivity in Devizes Castle in Wiltshire; in return in 1234 Hubert de Burgh gave him 176 acres of his demesne land in Soham, Cambridgeshite, with lordship over numerous tenants. In 1238-9 he was granted lands in Soham and Fordham, Cambridgeshire by Peter de Bendenges and his wife Burga. In 1242 he was appointed one of the Constables of the Host, then about to set out for Poitou. In consideration of his services there, he was granted the manor of Kersey, Suffolk -- 1243. In 1245 he was appointed ambassador to the Council of Lyons. About 1245 he obtained a license to build a chapel in Soham, Cambridgeshire and to hear service therein. In 1252 William de Wydindon demised to him land and wood of `Okregge' in West Wycombe, Buckinghamshire for a term of seven years; Philip promised to keep William in his service, providing him food and clothing as one of his own esquires and supplying him with another horse if his own died; the grant was made perpetual in 1254. He fought in Wales in 1258. Philip was heir in 1259 to his older brother, Fulk Basset, Bishop of London. In 1260 Simon, Abbot of Bury St. Edmunds, demised the manor of Stapleford Abbots, Essex to him. The same year, at the instance of his cousin, Ela, Countess of Warwick, the king granted the abbess and nuns of Lacock Abbey quittance from cheminage in all the king's forests in Wiltshire and Gloucestershire. In 1261 he had a grant of 1000 marks per annum to maintain him in the office of Justiciar. About 1261 Laurence de Sanford granted him the manor of Lecquid, Glamorgan, Wales. In 1261-2 Thomas de Awelton and Agnes his wife conveyed lands in Doddington and Northwode, Cambridgeshire to Philip and his wife, Ela. In 1262 John de Burgh and Hawise his wife leased lands in Soham, Fordharn, Landwade, Wykes, Hanney, etc., Cambridgeshire to Sir Philip Basset for a term of 16 years for the sum of 400/. in hand. In 1262 Philip leased land in Rotherwick, Hampshire from Richard de la Rugge. The same year Richard, King of the Romans, quitclaimed to him all suit of court at Wallingford, Berkshire for life. He fought on the king's side at the Battle of Lewes in 1264, where the king was taken prisoner by the barons. In 1266 Thomas de Gay, rector of the church of Wootton Basset, Wiltshire, granted Philip his free chapel at Fasterne, Wiltshire, with renunciation of all right to sell the offerings made therein; the said Philip to pay 20s. yearly to the parish church of Wootton. In 1267 the king granted him for life a deer leap at his new park below his town of Wootton Basset, Wiltshire, and another at his old park below his manor of "la Fasteme." In 1267-8 his wife, Ela, gave property in Stinkinglane, in the parish of St. Nicholas de Macellis, London to the City of London for the use of the Franciscans. At an unknown date, Richard son of Richard de la Wyz released to him all his right in a meadow with pasture for six cattle in Compton, Wiltshire. Sometime before 1271 John de Burgh granted that he pay him 20s. yearly to the custody of Dover Castle, due from the manor of Beeston, which Philip holds from him. SIR PHILIP BASSET died testate 29 October 1271, and was buried at Stanley, Wiltshire. In 1278 his widow, Ela, complained that when she sent John the reeve of Claverdon to Brandon Castle, Warwickshire with a letter for 10 marks which Thebaud de Verdun owed her as relief for the manor, Eleanor, widow of John de Verdun (step-mother of Thebaud de Verdun) and her men took away the letter and imprisoned him for one night. In 1280 Ela was summoned to show by what warrant she took the fines of the breaches of the assize of bread and ale in Maplederwell, Hampshire, and to show cause why she should not permit her villeins of Maplederwell to make suit at the king's hundred court of Basingstoke. The same year she sued Hugh de Courtenay and his wife Eleanor (Ela's step-granddaughter) for one messuage and lands in Wootton Courtney, Somerset, which she claimed to be her right by the gift of Hugh de Neville; the jury found in favor of Hugh and Eleanor. In 1289 Ela, Countess of Warwick, was summoned to answer Hugh le Despenser on a plea as to why she had committed waste in the woods which she held in dower of Hugh's inheritance in Compton Bassett and Wolfhale, Wiltshire to Hugh's disinheritance. In 1290 she granted a messuage and 1/2 virgate of land in Nateley Eastrop, a croft of eight acres in Up Nately, and a messuage and garden in Maplederwell, all in Hampshire, to John, Bishop of Winchester, for use of a chantry and maintenance of a chaplain in the chapel of Maplederwell. In 1293 Hugh le Despenser confirmed the grant of Lady Ela Longespée, late the wife of Philip Basset, to Adam de Stock and Roger de Stock his brother of lands in Wolfhale, Wiltshire which she held in dower of Hugh's inheritance. Ela, Countess of Warwick, died 9 Feb. 1297/8, and was buried in Oseney Abbey, Oxfordshire. Sandford Gen. Hist. of the Kings of England (1677): 116.

She became the second time a widow in 1271, and survived for many years after, a very wealthy lady, having no children by either husband. In 1285 she was returned as holding the manor of Hoke-Norton in Oxfordshire, in capite, by the sergeantry of carvng before our lord the King on Christmas Day, when she had for her fee the King's knife with which she cut. We find several records of her piety, particularly in Oxford and its vicinity; for she seems to have lived during her widowhood at Headington, only two miles from that city. In the year 1287 we find the Countess of Warwick visiting Lacock, on which occasion she quit-claimed to the abbey her title in the manor of Hatherop. She died on Sunday Feb. 6, 1297, and was buried at Ousney Abbey, near Oxford, where Leland saw her tomb, 'a very fair flat marble, in the habit of a vowess, graven in a copper plate.' Two Seals of this lady are extant. The first closely resembles that of her Mother, having on one side her own figure holding a hawk, and on the other side the arms of Longespé in a shield, with a lion above and below; it is inscribed on both side S.

In her second Seal, the coat of Basset (wavy Or and Gules) is substituted for that of Longespe; the latter is placed in her hand, on the obverse, instead of the hawk, and is balanced by the coat of Newburgh, (checky Or and Azure, a chevron Ermine) placed over her right shoulder.

7107	RESEARCH_NOTES: 1. “Royal Ancestry: A Study in Colonial & Medieval Families,” Douglas Richardson (2013): “ELA OF SALISBURY, suo jure Countess of Salisbury, daughter and heiress, born in or about 1191. She married before Sept. 1197 WILLIAM LONGESPÉE, Knt., Earl of Salisbury, Lieutenant of Gascony, 1202, Seneschal of Avranches, 1203, Constable of Dover Castle and Warden of the Cinque Ports, 1204-6, Sheriff of Wiltshire, 1204-7, 1213-26, Lord of the Honour and Castle of Eye, 1205, Sheriff of Cambridgeshire and Huntingdonshire, 1212-16, Sheriff of Devon, 1217-18, Sheriff of Somersetshire, 1217, Sheriff of Lincolnshire, 1217-21, Sheriff of Shropshire and Staffordshire, 1223-4, Constable of Portchester, Southampton, and Winchester Castles, 1224, Keeper of the March of Wales, illegitimate son of Henry II, King of England, by his mistress, Ida, daughter of Ralph de Tony, of Flamstead, Hertfordshire [see ENGLAND 4 for his ancestry]. He was born say 1175-80. They had four sons, William, Knt. [Earl of Salisbury], Stephen, Knt., Richard [Canon of Salisbury], and Nicholas [Bishop of Salisbury], and six daughters, Ida, Mary, Isabel, Ela, Ida (2nd of name), and Pernel. In 1191 he was granted the manor of Kirton, Lincolnshire by his brother, King Richard I. He was present at the Coronation of his brother, King John, in 1199. In 1200 he witnessed the homage of William the Lion, King of Scots to King John at Lincoln. In 1202 he went on a diplomatic mission to France. In 1204 he escorted Llywelyn ap Iorwerth, Prince of North Wales, to the king. In 1206 he was in the escort of William the Lion, King of Scotland, to meet King John at York. In 1209 he headed an embassy to the prelates and princes of Germany, on behalf of the King's nephew, Otto, King of the Romans. In 1212 he and his wife, Ela, instituted suit in the king's court against Ela's kinsman, Henry de Bohun, for the entire barony of Trowbridge, Wiltshire, Henry's chief fief. The king assumed control of the honour, but allowed Earl William's agents to levy scutage from its tenants. In 1213 Earl William was joint commander of an expedition to help the Count of Flanders against France. In 1214, as Marshal of the King of England, he commanded forces which recovered nearly all of Flanders for the Count; after which he and the Counts of Flanders and Boulogne were captured at the Battle of Bouvines and thrown into prison in chains. He was released before May 1215, and returned to England. In 1215 he was present at Runnymeade on the king's side at the signing of the Magna Carta [Great Charter]. He was granted the manor of Andover, Hampshire in 1215 by his brother, King John. He remained a zealous royalist until June 1216, when he surrendered Salisbury Castle to Prince Louis. He returned his allegiance to the king before 7 March 1216/7, when his lands were restored to him. In August 1217 he was with Hubert de Burgh in the victory over the French fleet off Thanet. In 1217 he was granted the manor of Aldbourne, Wiltshire by the king. In 1220 he and his wife laid the 4th and 5th stones at the founding of the new Cathedral at Salisbury, Wiltshire. In 1222 he gave the manor of Heythrop, Gloucestershire to certain monks and brethren of the Carthusian order, and assigned part of his revenues towards the building of a monastery for them there. In 1223 he took part in the successful expedition against Llywelyn. In 1225 he went with Richard, Earl of Cornwall as a supervisory commander on a successful expedition to Gascony. He gave Bradenstoke Priory the advowson of the church of Rogerville (Seine-Inférieure), together with land and rents there and in Sandouville (Seine-Inférieure), and a virgate of land in Chitterne and one in Amesbury, Wiltshire. At an unspecified date William, with consent of Ela his wife, granted the land called "Chandewyk" to William de Nevill, which property he had by grant of Jordan de Saint Martin. SIR WILLIAM LONGESPÉE, Earl of Salisbury, died at Salisbury Castle, Wiltshire 7 March 1225/6, and was buried in Salisbury Cathedral, Wiltshire. He left a will dated Midlent 1225. Among other bequests he left 200 marks to the new building of the Salisbury Cathedral Church, plus £200 to the building of St. Mary Bentleywood, Wiltshire, together with his traveling chapel-furniture, breviary, and numerous head of cattle. In 1226 Humphrey de Bohun, Earl of Hereford, brought an action against Earl William's widow, Ela, over the castle and honour of Trowbridge, Wiltshire, including lands in Bishtopstrow, East Coulston, Manningford Bruce (in Wilsford), Newton Tony, Staverton (in Trowbridge), Trowbridge, and Wilsford, Wiltshire; the suit was settled by compromise in 1230, whereby the two parties divided the honour between them. In Jan. 1227 the king transferred Salisbury castle, together with the shrievalty of Wiltshire, to Ela during his pleasure, which she held until 1228. Further evidence of Ela's high standing in royal favour is indicated by the king's regular gifts of venison to her throughout the late 1220s, including one in Sept. 1227 to celebrate the forthcoming nuptials of her daughter, Mary. In 1227 the monks of Heythrop not liking their habitation, prevailed on Ela to remove them to Hinton, Somerset, where, in her park, she began a monastery for them, which was completed in 1232. In 1227 she granted all her land west of Bendeywood, Wiltshire to the Hospital of St. Nicholas' Hospital for the sustenance of the poor and infirm. In 1229 Countess Ela founded Lacock Abbey, Wiltshire. In April 1231 Ela secured custody of the county of Wiltshire and Salisbury Castle for the term of her life for a fine of 200 marks, the king stipulating that neither the countess or her heirs possessed any legal claim to the castle and county by hereditary right. She was co-heiress c.1232-3 to her mother, Eleanor de Vitré, by which she inherited an interest in the manor of Cowlinge, Suffolk. In Feb. 1236 her son and heir, William Longespée, guaranteed her gifts to Lacock Abbey, while she agreed to surrender all her lands, rents and rights to him on 1 Nov. following. On 25 October 1236 Ela, Countes of Salisbury, reached agreement with William Longespée, her first born son, that she may grant a moiety of the manor of Heddington, Wiltshire to Lacock Priory, which property fell to her on the death of Maud de Mandeville, Countess of Essex and Hereford. In the winter 1236-7 she resigned her custody of the county of Wiltshire. She subsequently entered her religious foundation at Lacock, where she took the veil before spring 1238. She served as abbess there from 1240 to 1257. In 1249 she gave formal license to her son, William, to depart on a crusade. In 1250, on the eve of the battle in which he was killed in Egypt, she saw a vision of him standing fully armed entering heaven, being joyfully received by attendant angels. She died 24 August 1261, and was buried in the convent choir beneath the altar at Lacock Abbey. Note: William Longespée, Earl of Salisbury has long been known to have been an illegitimate child of Henry II, King of England, allegedly by his mistress, Rosamond Clifford. As early as 1902, however, it was suspected that William Longespée's mother was connected to the Akeny family, a cadet branch of the Tony family [see Wordsworth 15th Cent. Cartulary of St. Nicholas' Hospital, Salisbury (1902): xxv, footnote 1]. New evidence has surfaced in recent years which proves conclusively that William Longespée was the son of King Henry II by another mistress, a certain Ida de Tony, afterwards wife of Roger le Bigod (died 1221), Earl of Norfolk [see C.P. 9 (1936): 586-589 (sub Norfolk); Kemp Reading Abbey Cartularies 1 (Camden 4th Ser. 31) (1986): 3711. For evidence that William Longespée was the son of Countess Ida le Bigod, see London Cartulary of Bradenstoke Priory (Wiltshire Rec. Soc. 35) (1979): 143, 188, which includes two charters in which Earl William Longespée specifically names his mother, Countess Ida. It is known from contemporary records that Countess Ida le Bigod had a younger son named Ralph le Bigod [see Thompson Libor Vita Ecclesia Dunelmenis (Surtees Soc. 136) (1923): fo. 63b]. Among the English prisoners captured at the Battle of Bouvines in 1214, there was a certain Ralph [le] Bigod, who a contemporary French record refers to as "brother" [that is, half-brother] of William Longespée, Earl of Salisbury [see Recueil des Historiens des Gaules et de la France 17 (1878): 101 (Guillelmus Armoricus: "Isti sunt Prisiones (capti in bello Bovinensi) ... Radulphus Bigot, frater Comitis Saresburiensis"); see also Malo Un Grand Feudataire, Renaud de Dammartin et la Coalition de Bouvines (1898):199, 209, which author identified Ralph le Bigod as brother of William Longespée, Earl of Salisbury]. For evidence that Countess Ida was a member of the Tony family, see Morris Bigod Earls of Norfolk (2005): 2, who cites a royal inquest dated 1275, in which jurors affirmed that Earl Roger le Bigod was given Ida de Tony in marriage by King Henry II, together with the manors of Acle, Halvergate, and South Walsharn, Norfolk [which properties were formerly held by Earl Roger's father] [see Rotuli Hundredorum 1 (1812): 504, 537]. Morris shows that Earl Roger le Bigod received these manors by writ of the king, he having held them for three quarters of a year at Michaelmas 1182 [see PR 28 Henry II, 1181-1182 (Pipe Roll Soc.) (1910): 64]. This appears to pinpoint to marriage of Ida de Tony and Earl Roger le Bigod as having occurred about Christmas 1181. As for Countess Ida's parentage, it seems certain that she was a daughter of Ralph de Tony (died 1162), of Flamstead, Hertfordshire, by his wife, Margaret (b. c.1125, living 1185), daughter of Robert of Meulan, Knt., 1st Earl of Leicester [see C.P. 7 (1929): 530, footnote e (incorrectly dates Ralph and Margaret's marriage as "after 1155" based on the misdating of a charter - correction provided by Ray Phair); C.P. 12(1) (1953): 764-765 (sub Tony); Power Norman Frontier in the 12th & Early 13th Cents. (2004): 525 (Tosny ped.)]. For evidence which supports Ida's placement as a child of Ralph de Tony, several facts may be noted. First, Countess Ida and her husband, Roger le Bigod, are known to have named children, Ralph and Margaret, presumably in honor of Ida's parents, Ralph and Margaret de Tony [see Thompson Libor Vita Ecclesia Dunelmenis (Surtees Soc. 136) (1923): fo. 63b1. Countess Ida was herself evidently named in honor of Ralph de Tony's mother, Ida of Hainault. Second, Morris notes that Ida de Tony was a royal ward at the time of her marriage to Roger le Bigod, meaning she was in the king's gift and that her father was previously a tenant in chief of the king who presumably would have died sometime between 1161 and 1182 [Morris, ibid.]. The only plausible male candidate in the Tony family who could fit to be Ida's father who was also a tenant in chief of the king is Ralph de Tony. Next, William Longespée and his descendants had a long standing association with the family of Roger de Akeny, of Garsington, Oxfordshire, which Roger was a younger brother of Ralph de Tony (died 1162) [see C.P. 8 (1932): chart foll. 464; 14 (1998): 614; Loyd Origins of Some Anglo-Norman Fams. (1951): 2; VCH Oxford 5 (1957): 138; Harper-Bill Dodnash Priory Charters (Suffolk Rec. Soc. 16) (1998): 34-37, 39-40, 72-73; Fam. Hist. 18 (1995-97): 47-64; 19 (1998): 125-129]. Lastly, Roger le Bigod and his step-son, William Longespée, both had associations with William the lion, King of Scots, which connection can be readily explained by virtue of King William's wife, Ermengarde, being sister to Constance de Beaumont, wife of Countess Ida's presumed brother, Roger de Tony [see C.P. 12(1) (1953): 760-769 (sub Tony)]. King William the Lion was likewise near related to both of Countess Ida's presumed parents, her father by a shared descent from Countess Judith, the niece of King William the Conqueror, and her mother by a shared descent from Isabel de Vermandois, Countess of Surrey. Roger le Bigod and William Longespée were both present with other English relations of William the lion at an important gathering at Lincoln in 1200, when William the lion paid homage to King John of England [see Stubbs Chronica Magistri Rogeri de Houedene 4 (Rolls Ser. 51) (1871): 141-142]. Thus, naming patterns, familial and political associations give strong evidence that Ida, wife of Earl Roger le Bigod, was a daughter of Ralph de Tony. Sandford Gen.

Mayo and Kilkea and Tirsteldermot, co. Connacht, Ireland, 2nd son. He witnessed a charter for Baldwin III, Count of Guisnes, in 1241. The same year he acknowledged he owed Richard Basset a debt of 20 marks. He married between 8 Feb. 1242/3 and 16 Dec. 1244 EMELINE DE RIDELISFORD, widow of Hugh de Lacy, 1st Earl of Ulster (died 1242), and daughter and co-heiress of Walter de Ridelisford, of Bray, Admekin (or Headford), Corofin, and Tristledermot (or Casdedermot), Ireland, by his wife, Armor. They had two daughters, Ela and Emeline. In 1243/6 he witnessed a charter of his cousin, Richard, Earl of Cornwall, to Shaftesbury Abbey. In 1247 he was pardoned a debt of £33 and a half mark by Licoria wife of David of Oxford the Jew. He presented to the church of Great Gaddesden, Hertfordshire in 1247. He took the cross in 1250. In 1251 he had a dispute with the Prior of St. Swithun's concerning lands in Hyneton. In 1255 he went to Gascony with Edward the king's son. In 1258 he was granted wardship of the land and heirs of his late brother-in-law, Walter Fitz Robert, by Edward the king's son for 3,000 marks. At some undetermined date, he was a benefactor of St. Giles Priory at Flamstead, Hertfordshire. SIR STEPHEN LONGESPÉE died testate shortly before 25 June 1260, and was buried at Lacock Priory, Wiltshire. In 1262 his widow, Emeline, conveyed one messuage, various lands, and pasture for eight cattle in Purscaule, Dorset to Juliane, Abbess of Shaftesbury.

She married (as his 2nd wife) before 24 July 1276 MAURICE FITZ MAURICE, Knt., Justiciar of Ireland, 1272-3, son and heir of Maurice Fitz Gerald, 2nd Baron of Offaly in Ireland, Justiciar of Ireland, by his wife, Juliane. He was born about 1238. They had no issue. He married (1st) shortly before 28 October 1259 (date of dispensation to remove impediment to marriage) MAUD DE PRENDERGAST [see PRENDERGAST 8], born about 1242, widow successively of David Fitz Maurice (died 1249) and Maurice de Rochford (died 1258), and daughter and coheiress of Gerald de Prendergast (died 1251), of Beauvoir (or Carrigaline) and Ballacha in Orrery, co. Cork, Ireland, by his 2nd wife, ___, daughter of Richard de Burgh, lord of Connacht, Justiciar of Ireland [see PRENDERGAST 7 for her ancestry]. By his 1st wife, Maud de Prendergast, he had two daughters, Juliane (wife of Thomas de Clare, Knt., lord of Thomond in Connacht [see BADLESMERE 8]) and Amabil. He obtained lands in Connaught by feoffment of his father. In 1259 he was granted Athlone Castle and the shrievalty of Connaught. In 1260 he succeeded in plundering the O'Donnells, but was defeated in an expedition against Conor O'Brian at Coill-Berrain in Munster. He was summoned to England in 1262. In 1264 he was ordered to secure the Irish lands of the young Earl of Gloucester. In 1264 he took the justiciar, Thebaud le Boteler (or Butler), and John Cogan prisoners. He was twice granted letters of protection to England in 1266. In 1272 or 1273 he led another expedition against Brian Ruadh O'Brien. In 1276-7 Maurice and his wife, Emeline, brought an assize of novel disseisin against Humphrey de Bohun, Earl of Hereford and Essex, and others regarding a tenement in Denford (in Kintbury), Berkshire. In 1277 he accompanied his son-in-law, Thomas de Clare, against Brian Ruadh O'Brien, King of 'Thomond; Brian was taken prisoner and beheaded. SIR MAURICE FITZ MAURICE died testate shortly before 2 Sept. 1277. In 1292 his widow, Emeline, sued Thomas Fitz Maurice for the manor of Killorglin, co. Kerry, Ireland, which she claimed as her right by the gift of Christina de Marsh who previously had enfeoffed her and Maurice her late husband; the defendant vouched to warranty Gilbert de Clare, minor son and heir of Thomas de Clare. His widow, Emeline, was a legatee in the 1294 will of her uncle, Nicholas Longespée, Bishop of Salisbury. In 1298-9 she had a suit with John de Inteberge about lands at Kilcaly, near Limerick. In 1305-6 she settled the manor of Denford (in Kintbury), Berkshire on herself, with reversion to her great niece, Maud la Zouche, then betrothed to Robert de Holand, Knt., afterwards 1st Lord Holand. In 1314 she was granted the manor of Avington, Berkshire for life by Thomas, Earl of Lancaster. She presented to the chapel of Wanborough, Wiltshire in 1316. In 1322, staying in England, she had letters appointing attorneys to represent her in Ireland for two years. She died shortly before 23 May 1331.

ALICE LONGESPÉE, married (1st) 1260-1 GEOFFREY DE JARPENVILLE Alice's maritagium included a messuage and lands in Little Stanmore, Middlesex, formerly belonging to Henry Bucointe, Knt., and land formerly held of her father, Nicholas Longespée, by Ralph de la Forde and others in a field called "Colemannesdene." They presumably had one son, Nicholas (living 1294). Before 1277 Alice's lands in Little Stanmore, Middlesex were fraudulently acquired by the moneylender, Adam de Stratton. She presumably married (2nd) WILLIAM DE BARNEVILLE, of Harrow, Middlesex. They had one son, John, of Little Stanmore and Oakington (in Harrow), Middlesex (occurs 1294-1337), and one daughter, Margaret, both of whom were legatees in the 1294 will of their grandfather, Bishop Nicholas Longespée. William (husband of Alice) was also appointed one of the executors of the 1294 will of Bishop Longespée. On Adam de Stratton's disgrace in 1290, Alice presumably recovered her lands, as her son, John de Barneville, later had lands in this parish [see C.P.R. 1313-1317 (1898): 558)]. WILLIAM DE BARNEVILLE was living in 1297/8.

ELA LONGSPEE, married THOMAS OF WARWICK, Knt., 6th Earl of Warwick, son and heir of Henry, Earl of Warwick, by his 1st wife, Margery, daughter of Herity d'Oilly. He was presumably of age in 1229. They had no issue. He carried the third sword at the Coronation of Queen Eleanor in 1236. He died 26 (or 27) June 1242, and was buried in St. Mary's, Warwick. In 1247 his widow, Ela, Countess of Warwick, and Simon Fitz Simon sued John de Plescy, Earl of Warwick, and his wife, Margery, in a plea of warranty. Ela married (2nd) after Nov. 1254 and before 23 March 1254/5 (as his 2nd wife) PHILIP BASSET, Knt., of Soham, Cambridgeshire, Wycombe, Buckinghamshire, Maplederwell, Hampshire, Kirdington, Oxfordshire, Woking, Surrey, Wootton Basset, Wiltshire, etc., Constable of Colchester, Corfe, Devizes, Hadleigh, Oxford, and Sherbome Castles, 1259, Justiciar of England, Keeper of the Tower of London, younger son of Alan Basset, of Wootton Basset, Wiltshire, Wycombe, Buckinghamshire, Maplederwell, Hampshire, Woking, Surrey, etc., by Aline, daughter and co-heiress Philip de Gay, of Wootton Bassett and Broadtown, Wiltshire and Northbrook, Oxfordshire. They had no issue. In the period, 1230-41, his brother, Gilbert Basset, conveyed to him land in Middleton, late of Thomas Basset their older brother. In 1233 he helped free Hubert de Burgh, Earl of Kent, from captivity in Devizes Castle in Wiltshire; in return in 1234 Hubert de Burgh gave him 176 acres of his demesne land in Soham, Cambridgeshite, with lordship over numerous tenants. In 1238-9 he was granted lands in Soham and Fordham, Cambridgeshire by Peter de Bendenges and his wife Burga. In 1242 he was appointed one of the Constables of the Host, then about to set out for Poitou. In consideration of his services there, he was granted the manor of Kersey, Suffolk -- 1243. In 1245 he was appointed ambassador to the Council of Lyons. About 1245 he obtained a license to build a chapel in Soham, Cambridgeshire and to hear service therein. In 1252 William de Wydindon demised to him land and wood of `Okregge' in West Wycombe, Buckinghamshire for a term of seven years; Philip promised to keep William in his service, providing him food and clothing as one of his own esquires and supplying him with another horse if his own died; the grant was made perpetual in 1254. He fought in Wales in 1258. Philip was heir in 1259 to his older brother, Fulk Basset, Bishop of London. In 1260 Simon, Abbot of Bury St. Edmunds, demised the manor of Stapleford Abbots, Essex to him. The same year, at the instance of his cousin, Ela, Countess of Warwick, the king granted the abbess and nuns of Lacock Abbey quittance from cheminage in all the king's forests in Wiltshire and Gloucestershire. In 1261 he had a grant of 1000 marks per annum to maintain him in the office of Justiciar. About 1261 Laurence de Sanford granted him the manor of Lecquid, Glamorgan, Wales. In 1261-2 Thomas de Awelton and Agnes his wife conveyed lands in Doddington and Northwode, Cambridgeshire to Philip and his wife, Ela. In 1262 John de Burgh and Hawise his wife leased lands in Soham, Fordharn, Landwade, Wykes, Hanney, etc., Cambridgeshire to Sir Philip Basset for a term of 16 years for the sum of 400/. in hand. In 1262 Philip leased land in Rotherwick, Hampshire from Richard de la Rugge. The same year Richard, King of the Romans, quitclaimed to him all suit of court at Wallingford, Berkshire for life. He fought on the king's side at the Battle of Lewes in 1264, where the king was taken prisoner by the barons. In 1266 Thomas de Gay, rector of the church of Wootton Basset, Wiltshire, granted Philip his free chapel at Fasterne, Wiltshire, with renunciation of all right to sell the offerings made therein; the said Philip to pay 20s. yearly to the parish church of Wootton. In 1267 the king granted him for life a deer leap at his new park below his town of Wootton Basset, Wiltshire, and another at his old park below his manor of "la Fasteme." In 1267-8 his wife, Ela, gave property in Stinkinglane, in the parish of St. Nicholas de Macellis, London to the City of London for the use of the Franciscans. At an unknown date, Richard son of Richard de la Wyz released to him all his right in a meadow with pasture for six cattle in Compton, Wiltshire. Sometime before 1271 John de Burgh granted that he pay him 20s. yearly to the custody of Dover Castle, due from the manor of Beeston, which Philip holds from him. SIR PHILIP BASSET died testate 29 October 1271, and was buried at Stanley, Wiltshire. In 1278 his widow, Ela, complained that when she sent John the reeve of Claverdon to Brandon Castle, Warwickshire with a letter for 10 marks which Thebaud de Verdun owed her as relief for the manor, Eleanor, widow of John de Verdun (step-mother of Thebaud de Verdun) and her men took away the letter and imprisoned him for one night. In 1280 Ela was summoned to show by what warrant she took the fines of the breaches of the assize of bread and ale in Maplederwell, Hampshire, and to show cause why she should not permit her villeins of Maplederwell to make suit at the king's hundred court of Basingstoke. The same year she sued Hugh de Courtenay and his wife Eleanor (Ela's step-granddaughter) for one messuage and lands in Wootton Courtney, Somerset, which she claimed to be her right by the gift of Hugh de Neville; the jury found in favor of Hugh and Eleanor. In 1289 Ela, Countess of Warwick, was summoned to answer Hugh le Despenser on a plea as to why she had committed waste in the woods which she held in dower of Hugh's inheritance in Compton Bassett and Wolfhale, Wiltshire to Hugh's disinheritance. In 1290 she granted a messuage and 1/2 virgate of land in Nateley Eastrop, a croft of eight acres in Up Nately, and a messuage and garden in Maplederwell, all in Hampshire, to John, Bishop of Winchester, for use of a chantry and maintenance of a chaplain in the chapel of Maplederwell. In 1293 Hugh le Despenser confirmed the grant of Lady Ela Longespée, late the wife of Philip Basset, to Adam de Stock and Roger de Stock his brother of lands in Wolfhale, Wiltshire which she held in dower of Hugh's inheritance.

She became the second time a widow in 1271, and survived for many years after, a very wealthy lady, having no children by either husband. In 1285 she was returned as holding the manor of Hoke-Norton in Oxfordshire, in capite, by the sergeantry of carvng before our lord the King on Christmas Day, when she had for her fee the King's knife with which she cut. We find several records of her piety, particularly in Oxford and its vicinity; for she seems to have lived during her widowhood at Headington, only two miles from that city. In the year 1287 we find the Countess of Warwick visiting Lacock, on which occasion she quit-claimed to the abbey her title in the manor of Hatherop. She died on Sunday Feb. 6, 1297, and was buried at Ousney Abbey, near Oxford, where Leland saw her tomb, 'a very fair flat marble, in the habit of a vowess, graven in a copper plate.' Two Seals of this lady are extant. The first closely resembles that of her Mother, having on one side her own figure holding a hawk, and on the other side the arms of Longespé in a shield, with a lion above and below; it is inscribed on both side S.

In her second Seal, the coat of Basset (wavy Or and Gules) is substituted for that of Longespe; the latter is placed in her hand, on the obverse, instead of the hawk, and is balanced by the coat of Newburgh, (checky Or and Azure, a chevron Ermine) placed over her right shoulder.

7108	RESEARCH_NOTES: 1. “Royal Ancestry: A Study in Colonial & Medieval Families,” Douglas Richardson (2013): “ELA OF SALISBURY, suo jure Countess of Salisbury, daughter and heiress, born in or about 1191. She married before Sept. 1197 WILLIAM LONGESPÉE, Knt., Earl of Salisbury, Lieutenant of Gascony, 1202, Seneschal of Avranches, 1203, Constable of Dover Castle and Warden of the Cinque Ports, 1204-6, Sheriff of Wiltshire, 1204-7, 1213-26, Lord of the Honour and Castle of Eye, 1205, Sheriff of Cambridgeshire and Huntingdonshire, 1212-16, Sheriff of Devon, 1217-18, Sheriff of Somersetshire, 1217, Sheriff of Lincolnshire, 1217-21, Sheriff of Shropshire and Staffordshire, 1223-4, Constable of Portchester, Southampton, and Winchester Castles, 1224, Keeper of the March of Wales, illegitimate son of Henry II, King of England, by his mistress, Ida, daughter of Ralph de Tony, of Flamstead, Hertfordshire [see ENGLAND 4 for his ancestry]. He was born say 1175-80. They had four sons, William, Knt. [Earl of Salisbury], Stephen, Knt., Richard [Canon of Salisbury], and Nicholas [Bishop of Salisbury], and six daughters, Ida, Mary, Isabel, Ela, Ida (2nd of name), and Pernel. In 1191 he was granted the manor of Kirton, Lincolnshire by his brother, King Richard I. He was present at the Coronation of his brother, King John, in 1199. In 1200 he witnessed the homage of William the Lion, King of Scots to King John at Lincoln. In 1202 he went on a diplomatic mission to France. In 1204 he escorted Llywelyn ap Iorwerth, Prince of North Wales, to the king. In 1206 he was in the escort of William the Lion, King of Scotland, to meet King John at York. In 1209 he headed an embassy to the prelates and princes of Germany, on behalf of the King's nephew, Otto, King of the Romans. In 1212 he and his wife, Ela, instituted suit in the king's court against Ela's kinsman, Henry de Bohun, for the entire barony of Trowbridge, Wiltshire, Henry's chief fief. The king assumed control of the honour, but allowed Earl William's agents to levy scutage from its tenants. In 1213 Earl William was joint commander of an expedition to help the Count of Flanders against France. In 1214, as Marshal of the King of England, he commanded forces which recovered nearly all of Flanders for the Count; after which he and the Counts of Flanders and Boulogne were captured at the Battle of Bouvines and thrown into prison in chains. He was released before May 1215, and returned to England. In 1215 he was present at Runnymeade on the king's side at the signing of the Magna Carta [Great Charter]. He was granted the manor of Andover, Hampshire in 1215 by his brother, King John. He remained a zealous royalist until June 1216, when he surrendered Salisbury Castle to Prince Louis. He returned his allegiance to the king before 7 March 1216/7, when his lands were restored to him. In August 1217 he was with Hubert de Burgh in the victory over the French fleet off Thanet. In 1217 he was granted the manor of Aldbourne, Wiltshire by the king. In 1220 he and his wife laid the 4th and 5th stones at the founding of the new Cathedral at Salisbury, Wiltshire. In 1222 he gave the manor of Heythrop, Gloucestershire to certain monks and brethren of the Carthusian order, and assigned part of his revenues towards the building of a monastery for them there. In 1223 he took part in the successful expedition against Llywelyn. In 1225 he went with Richard, Earl of Cornwall as a supervisory commander on a successful expedition to Gascony. He gave Bradenstoke Priory the advowson of the church of Rogerville (Seine-Inférieure), together with land and rents there and in Sandouville (Seine-Inférieure), and a virgate of land in Chitterne and one in Amesbury, Wiltshire. At an unspecified date William, with consent of Ela his wife, granted the land called "Chandewyk" to William de Nevill, which property he had by grant of Jordan de Saint Martin. SIR WILLIAM LONGESPÉE, Earl of Salisbury, died at Salisbury Castle, Wiltshire 7 March 1225/6, and was buried in Salisbury Cathedral, Wiltshire. He left a will dated Midlent 1225. Among other bequests he left 200 marks to the new building of the Salisbury Cathedral Church, plus £200 to the building of St. Mary Bentleywood, Wiltshire, together with his traveling chapel-furniture, breviary, and numerous head of cattle. In 1226 Humphrey de Bohun, Earl of Hereford, brought an action against Earl William's widow, Ela, over the castle and honour of Trowbridge, Wiltshire, including lands in Bishtopstrow, East Coulston, Manningford Bruce (in Wilsford), Newton Tony, Staverton (in Trowbridge), Trowbridge, and Wilsford, Wiltshire; the suit was settled by compromise in 1230, whereby the two parties divided the honour between them. In Jan. 1227 the king transferred Salisbury castle, together with the shrievalty of Wiltshire, to Ela during his pleasure, which she held until 1228. Further evidence of Ela's high standing in royal favour is indicated by the king's regular gifts of venison to her throughout the late 1220s, including one in Sept. 1227 to celebrate the forthcoming nuptials of her daughter, Mary. In 1227 the monks of Heythrop not liking their habitation, prevailed on Ela to remove them to Hinton, Somerset, where, in her park, she began a monastery for them, which was completed in 1232. In 1227 she granted all her land west of Bendeywood, Wiltshire to the Hospital of St. Nicholas' Hospital for the sustenance of the poor and infirm. In 1229 Countess Ela founded Lacock Abbey, Wiltshire. In April 1231 Ela secured custody of the county of Wiltshire and Salisbury Castle for the term of her life for a fine of 200 marks, the king stipulating that neither the countess or her heirs possessed any legal claim to the castle and county by hereditary right. She was co-heiress c.1232-3 to her mother, Eleanor de Vitré, by which she inherited an interest in the manor of Cowlinge, Suffolk. In Feb. 1236 her son and heir, William Longespée, guaranteed her gifts to Lacock Abbey, while she agreed to surrender all her lands, rents and rights to him on 1 Nov. following. On 25 October 1236 Ela, Countes of Salisbury, reached agreement with William Longespée, her first born son, that she may grant a moiety of the manor of Heddington, Wiltshire to Lacock Priory, which property fell to her on the death of Maud de Mandeville, Countess of Essex and Hereford. In the winter 1236-7 she resigned her custody of the county of Wiltshire. She subsequently entered her religious foundation at Lacock, where she took the veil before spring 1238. She served as abbess there from 1240 to 1257. In 1249 she gave formal license to her son, William, to depart on a crusade. In 1250, on the eve of the battle in which he was killed in Egypt, she saw a vision of him standing fully armed entering heaven, being joyfully received by attendant angels. She died 24 August 1261, and was buried in the convent choir beneath the altar at Lacock Abbey. Note: William Longespée, Earl of Salisbury has long been known to have been an illegitimate child of Henry II, King of England, allegedly by his mistress, Rosamond Clifford. As early as 1902, however, it was suspected that William Longespée's mother was connected to the Akeny family, a cadet branch of the Tony family [see Wordsworth 15th Cent. Cartulary of St. Nicholas' Hospital, Salisbury (1902): xxv, footnote 1]. New evidence has surfaced in recent years which proves conclusively that William Longespée was the son of King Henry II by another mistress, a certain Ida de Tony, afterwards wife of Roger le Bigod (died 1221), Earl of Norfolk [see C.P. 9 (1936): 586-589 (sub Norfolk); Kemp Reading Abbey Cartularies 1 (Camden 4th Ser. 31) (1986): 3711. For evidence that William Longespée was the son of Countess Ida le Bigod, see London Cartulary of Bradenstoke Priory (Wiltshire Rec. Soc. 35) (1979): 143, 188, which includes two charters in which Earl William Longespée specifically names his mother, Countess Ida. It is known from contemporary records that Countess Ida le Bigod had a younger son named Ralph le Bigod [see Thompson Libor Vita Ecclesia Dunelmenis (Surtees Soc. 136) (1923): fo. 63b]. Among the English prisoners captured at the Battle of Bouvines in 1214, there was a certain Ralph [le] Bigod, who a contemporary French record refers to as "brother" [that is, half-brother] of William Longespée, Earl of Salisbury [see Recueil des Historiens des Gaules et de la France 17 (1878): 101 (Guillelmus Armoricus: "Isti sunt Prisiones (capti in bello Bovinensi) ... Radulphus Bigot, frater Comitis Saresburiensis"); see also Malo Un Grand Feudataire, Renaud de Dammartin et la Coalition de Bouvines (1898):199, 209, which author identified Ralph le Bigod as brother of William Longespée, Earl of Salisbury]. For evidence that Countess Ida was a member of the Tony family, see Morris Bigod Earls of Norfolk (2005): 2, who cites a royal inquest dated 1275, in which jurors affirmed that Earl Roger le Bigod was given Ida de Tony in marriage by King Henry II, together with the manors of Acle, Halvergate, and South Walsharn, Norfolk [which properties were formerly held by Earl Roger's father] [see Rotuli Hundredorum 1 (1812): 504, 537]. Morris shows that Earl Roger le Bigod received these manors by writ of the king, he having held them for three quarters of a year at Michaelmas 1182 [see PR 28 Henry II, 1181-1182 (Pipe Roll Soc.) (1910): 64]. This appears to pinpoint to marriage of Ida de Tony and Earl Roger le Bigod as having occurred about Christmas 1181. As for Countess Ida's parentage, it seems certain that she was a daughter of Ralph de Tony (died 1162), of Flamstead, Hertfordshire, by his wife, Margaret (b. c.1125, living 1185), daughter of Robert of Meulan, Knt., 1st Earl of Leicester [see C.P. 7 (1929): 530, footnote e (incorrectly dates Ralph and Margaret's marriage as "after 1155" based on the misdating of a charter - correction provided by Ray Phair); C.P. 12(1) (1953): 764-765 (sub Tony); Power Norman Frontier in the 12th & Early 13th Cents. (2004): 525 (Tosny ped.)]. For evidence which supports Ida's placement as a child of Ralph de Tony, several facts may be noted. First, Countess Ida and her husband, Roger le Bigod, are known to have named children, Ralph and Margaret, presumably in honor of Ida's parents, Ralph and Margaret de Tony [see Thompson Libor Vita Ecclesia Dunelmenis (Surtees Soc. 136) (1923): fo. 63b1. Countess Ida was herself evidently named in honor of Ralph de Tony's mother, Ida of Hainault. Second, Morris notes that Ida de Tony was a royal ward at the time of her marriage to Roger le Bigod, meaning she was in the king's gift and that her father was previously a tenant in chief of the king who presumably would have died sometime between 1161 and 1182 [Morris, ibid.]. The only plausible male candidate in the Tony family who could fit to be Ida's father who was also a tenant in chief of the king is Ralph de Tony. Next, William Longespée and his descendants had a long standing association with the family of Roger de Akeny, of Garsington, Oxfordshire, which Roger was a younger brother of Ralph de Tony (died 1162) [see C.P. 8 (1932): chart foll. 464; 14 (1998): 614; Loyd Origins of Some Anglo-Norman Fams. (1951): 2; VCH Oxford 5 (1957): 138; Harper-Bill Dodnash Priory Charters (Suffolk Rec. Soc. 16) (1998): 34-37, 39-40, 72-73; Fam. Hist. 18 (1995-97): 47-64; 19 (1998): 125-129]. Lastly, Roger le Bigod and his step-son, William Longespée, both had associations with William the lion, King of Scots, which connection can be readily explained by virtue of King William's wife, Ermengarde, being sister to Constance de Beaumont, wife of Countess Ida's presumed brother, Roger de Tony [see C.P. 12(1) (1953): 760-769 (sub Tony)]. King William the Lion was likewise near related to both of Countess Ida's presumed parents, her father by a shared descent from Countess Judith, the niece of King William the Conqueror, and her mother by a shared descent from Isabel de Vermandois, Countess of Surrey. Roger le Bigod and William Longespée were both present with other English relations of William the lion at an important gathering at Lincoln in 1200, when William the lion paid homage to King John of England [see Stubbs Chronica Magistri Rogeri de Houedene 4 (Rolls Ser. 51) (1871): 141-142]. Thus, naming patterns, familial and political associations give strong evidence that Ida, wife of Earl Roger le Bigod, was a daughter of Ralph de Tony. Sandford Gen.

He married between 8 Feb. 1242/3 and 16 Dec. 1244 EMELINE DE RIDELISFORD, widow of Hugh de Lacy, 1st Earl of Ulster (died 1242), and daughter and co-heiress of Walter de Ridelisford, of Bray, Admekin (or Headford), Corofin, and Tristledermot (or Casdedermot), Ireland, by his wife, Armor. They had two daughters, Ela and Emeline. In 1243/6 he witnessed a charter of his cousin, Richard, Earl of Cornwall, to Shaftesbury Abbey. In 1247 he was pardoned a debt of £33 and a half mark by Licoria wife of David of Oxford the Jew. He presented to the church of Great Gaddesden, Hertfordshire in 1247. He took the cross in 1250. In 1251 he had a dispute with the Prior of St. Swithun's concerning lands in Hyneton. In 1255 he went to Gascony with Edward the king's son. In 1258 he was granted wardship of the land and heirs of his late brother-in-law, Walter Fitz Robert, by Edward the king's son for 3,000 marks.

He obtained lands in Connaught by feoffment of his father. In 1259 he was granted Athlone Castle and the shrievalty of Connaught. In 1260 he succeeded in plundering the O'Donnells, but was defeated in an expedition against Conor O'Brian at Coill-Berrain in Munster. He was summoned to England in 1262. In 1264 he was ordered to secure the Irish lands of the young Earl of Gloucester. In 1264 he took the justiciar, Thebaud le Boteler (or Butler), and John Cogan prisoners. He was twice granted letters of protection to England in 1266. In 1272 or 1273 he led another expedition against Brian Ruadh O'Brien.

SIR MAURICE FITZ MAURICE died testate shortly before 2 Sept. 1277. In 1292 his widow, Emeline, sued Thomas Fitz Maurice for the manor of Killorglin, co. Kerry, Ireland, which she claimed as her right by the gift of Christina de Marsh who previously had enfeoffed her and Maurice her late husband; the defendant vouched to warranty Gilbert de Clare, minor son and heir of Thomas de Clare. His widow, Emeline, was a legatee in the 1294 will of her uncle, Nicholas Longespée, Bishop of Salisbury. In 1298-9 she had a suit with John de Inteberge about lands at Kilcaly, near Limerick. In 1305-6 she settled the manor of Denford (in Kintbury), Berkshire on herself, with reversion to her great niece, Maud la Zouche, then betrothed to Robert de Holand, Knt., afterwards 1st Lord Holand. In 1314 she was granted the manor of Avington, Berkshire for life by Thomas, Earl of Lancaster. She presented to the chapel of Wanborough, Wiltshire in 1316.

ALICE LONGESPÉE, married (1st) 1260-1 GEOFFREY DE JARPENVILLE Alice's maritagium included a messuage and lands in Little Stanmore, Middlesex, formerly belonging to Henry Bucointe, Knt., and land formerly held of her father, Nicholas Longespée, by Ralph de la Forde and others in a field called "Colemannesdene." They presumably had one son, Nicholas (living 1294). Before 1277 Alice's lands in Little Stanmore, Middlesex were fraudulently acquired by the moneylender, Adam de Stratton. She presumably married (2nd) WILLIAM DE BARNEVILLE, of Harrow, Middlesex. They had one son, John, of Little Stanmore and Oakington (in Harrow), Middlesex (occurs 1294-1337), and one daughter, Margaret, both of whom were legatees in the 1294 will of their grandfather, Bishop Nicholas Longespée. William (husband of Alice) was also appointed one of the executors of the 1294 will of Bishop Longespée. On Adam de Stratton's disgrace in 1290, Alice presumably recovered her lands, as her son, John de Barneville, later had lands in this parish [see C.P.R. 1313-1317 (1898): 558)]. WILLIAM DE BARNEVILLE was living in 1297/8. Alice and her 2nd husband, William de Barneville, are direct ancestors of William Barnville, of Harrow, Middlesex (died c.1397), Knight of the Shire for Middlesex, whose son (or grandson), John Barnville (died before 1482), left a daughter and heiress, Elizabeth Barnville [wife of Thomas Frowick, Knt, Chief Justice of the Common Pleas (died 1506) and Thomas Jakes, Esq.

Sir Robert de Roos had children named William, Isabel, and Ida, which given names occur among descendants of the Longespée family. Further research is needed, however, to establish the identity of Mary Longespée's husband.) vii. ISABEL LONGESPÉE. She married shortly after 16 May 1226 (as his 1st wife) WILLIAM DE VESCY, Knt., of Alnwick, Northumberland, son and heir of Eustace de Vescy, Knt., of Alnwick, Northumberland, by Margaret, illegitimate daughter of William the Lion, King of Scots [see SCOTLAND 4.vi for his ancestry]. He was born about 1205 (minor in 1216). They had no issue. He had livery of his inheritance 16 May 1226. He accompanied King Henry III's expedition to Brittany in 1230. In 1232 and 1234 he was forbidden to attend tournaments at Blyth, Northampton, and Cambridge. He was appointed to escort King Alexander and Queen Joan of Scotland to the English court in 1235, and again in August 1237. In 1242 he went with the king to Gascony. At his wife, Isabel's death, she was buried at Alnwick Abbey, Northumberland. He married (2nd) before 1244 AGNES DE FERRERS, daughter of William de Ferrers, Knt., 5th Earl of Derby, by his 1st wife, Sibyl, daughter of William Marshal, Knt., 4th Earl of Pembroke (or Strigoil), hereditary Master Marshal [see FERRERS 7 for her ancestry].

ELA LONGSPEE, married THOMAS OF WARWICK, Knt., 6th Earl of Warwick, son and heir of Henry, Earl of Warwick, by his 1st wife, Margery, daughter of Herity d'Oilly. He was presumably of age in 1229. They had no issue. He carried the third sword at the Coronation of Queen Eleanor in 1236. He died 26 (or 27) June 1242, and was buried in St. Mary's, Warwick. In 1247 his widow, Ela, Countess of Warwick, and Simon Fitz Simon sued John de Plescy, Earl of Warwick, and his wife, Margery, in a plea of warranty. Ela married (2nd) after Nov. 1254 and before 23 March 1254/5 (as his 2nd wife) PHILIP BASSET, Knt., of Soham, Cambridgeshire, Wycombe, Buckinghamshire, Maplederwell, Hampshire, Kirdington, Oxfordshire, Woking, Surrey, Wootton Basset, Wiltshire, etc., Constable of Colchester, Corfe, Devizes, Hadleigh, Oxford, and Sherbome Castles, 1259, Justiciar of England, Keeper of the Tower of London, younger son of Alan Basset, of Wootton Basset, Wiltshire, Wycombe, Buckinghamshire, Maplederwell, Hampshire, Woking, Surrey, etc., by Aline, daughter and co-heiress Philip de Gay, of Wootton Bassett and Broadtown, Wiltshire and Northbrook, Oxfordshire. They had no issue. In the period, 1230-41, his brother, Gilbert Basset, conveyed to him land in Middleton, late of Thomas Basset their older brother. In 1233 he helped free Hubert de Burgh, Earl of Kent, from captivity in Devizes Castle in Wiltshire; in return in 1234 Hubert de Burgh gave him 176 acres of his demesne land in Soham, Cambridgeshite, with lordship over numerous tenants. In 1238-9 he was granted lands in Soham and Fordham, Cambridgeshire by Peter de Bendenges and his wife Burga. In 1242 he was appointed one of the Constables of the Host, then about to set out for Poitou. In consideration of his services there, he was granted the manor of Kersey, Suffolk -- 1243. In 1245 he was appointed ambassador to the Council of Lyons. About 1245 he obtained a license to build a chapel in Soham, Cambridgeshire and to hear service therein. In 1252 William de Wydindon demised to him land and wood of `Okregge' in West Wycombe, Buckinghamshire for a term of seven years; Philip promised to keep William in his service, providing him food and clothing as one of his own esquires and supplying him with another horse if his own died; the grant was made perpetual in 1254. He fought in Wales in 1258. Philip was heir in 1259 to his older brother, Fulk Basset, Bishop of London. In 1260 Simon, Abbot of Bury St. Edmunds, demised the manor of Stapleford Abbots, Essex to him. The same year, at the instance of his cousin, Ela, Countess of Warwick, the king granted the abbess and nuns of Lacock Abbey quittance from cheminage in all the king's forests in Wiltshire and Gloucestershire. In 1261 he had a grant of 1000 marks per annum to maintain him in the office of Justiciar. About 1261 Laurence de Sanford granted him the manor of Lecquid, Glamorgan, Wales. In 1261-2 Thomas de Awelton and Agnes his wife conveyed lands in Doddington and Northwode, Cambridgeshire to Philip and his wife, Ela. In 1262 John de Burgh and Hawise his wife leased lands in Soham, Fordharn, Landwade, Wykes, Hanney, etc., Cambridgeshire to Sir Philip Basset for a term of 16 years for the sum of 400/. in hand. In 1262 Philip leased land in Rotherwick, Hampshire from Richard de la Rugge. The same year Richard, King of the Romans, quitclaimed to him all suit of court at Wallingford, Berkshire for life. He fought on the king's side at the Battle of Lewes in 1264, where the king was taken prisoner by the barons. In 1266 Thomas de Gay, rector of the church of Wootton Basset, Wiltshire, granted Philip his free chapel at Fasterne, Wiltshire, with renunciation of all right to sell the offerings made therein; the said Philip to pay 20s. yearly to the parish church of Wootton. In 1267 the king granted him for life a deer leap at his new park below his town of Wootton Basset, Wiltshire, and another at his old park below his manor of "la Fasteme." In 1267-8 his wife, Ela, gave property in Stinkinglane, in the parish of St. Nicholas de Macellis, London to the City of London for the use of the Franciscans. At an unknown date, Richard son of Richard de la Wyz released to him all his right in a meadow with pasture for six cattle in Compton, Wiltshire. Sometime before 1271 John de Burgh granted that he pay him 20s. yearly to the custody of Dover Castle, due from the manor of Beeston, which Philip holds from him. SIR PHILIP BASSET died testate 29 October 1271, and was buried at Stanley, Wiltshire. In 1278 his widow, Ela, complained that when she sent John the reeve of Claverdon to Brandon Castle, Warwickshire with a letter for 10 marks which Thebaud de Verdun owed her as relief for the manor, Eleanor, widow of John de Verdun (step-mother of Thebaud de Verdun) and her men took away the letter and imprisoned him for one night. In 1280 Ela was summoned to show by what warrant she took the fines of the breaches of the assize of bread and ale in Maplederwell, Hampshire, and to show cause why she should not permit her villeins of Maplederwell to make suit at the king's hundred court of Basingstoke. The same year she sued Hugh de Courtenay and his wife Eleanor (Ela's step-granddaughter) for one messuage and lands in Wootton Courtney, Somerset, which she claimed to be her right by the gift of Hugh de Neville; the jury found in favor of Hugh and Eleanor. In 1289 Ela, Countess of Warwick, was summoned to answer Hugh le Despenser on a plea as to why she had committed waste in the woods which she held in dower of Hugh's inheritance in Compton Bassett and Wolfhale, Wiltshire to Hugh's disinheritance. In 1290 she granted a messuage and 1/2 virgate of land in Nateley Eastrop, a croft of eight acres in Up Nately, and a messuage and garden in Maplederwell, all in Hampshire, to John, Bishop of Winchester, for use of a chantry and maintenance of a chaplain in the chapel of Maplederwell. In 1293 Hugh le Despenser confirmed the grant of Lady Ela Longespée, late the wife of Philip Basset, to Adam de Stock and Roger de Stock his brother of lands in Wolfhale, Wiltshire which she held in dower of Hugh's inheritance. Ela, Countess of Warwick, died 9 Feb. 1297/8, and was buried in Oseney Abbey, Oxfordshire. Sandford Gen. Hist. of the Kings of England (1677): 116.

She became the second time a widow in 1271, and survived for many years after, a very wealthy lady, having no children by either husband. In 1285 she was returned as holding the manor of Hoke-Norton in Oxfordshire, in capite, by the sergeantry of carvng before our lord the King on Christmas Day, when she had for her fee the King's knife with which she cut. We find several records of her piety, particularly in Oxford and its vicinity; for she seems to have lived during her widowhood at Headington, only two miles from that city. In the year 1287 we find the Countess of Warwick visiting Lacock, on which occasion she quit-claimed to the abbey her title in the manor of Hatherop. She died on Sunday Feb. 6, 1297, and was buried at Ousney Abbey, near Oxford, where Leland saw her tomb, 'a very fair flat marble, in the habit of a vowess, graven in a copper plate.' Two Seals of this lady are extant. The first closely resembles that of her Mother, having on one side her own figure holding a hawk, and on the other side the arms of Longespé in a shield, with a lion above and below; it is inscribed on both side S. ELE LVNGESPEYE COMITISSE WARWIC. In her second Seal, the coat of Basset (wavy Or and Gules) is substituted for that of Longespe; the latter is placed in her hand, on the obverse, instead of the hawk, and is balanced by the coat of Newburgh, (checky Or and Azure, a chevron Ermine) placed over her right shoulder.

7109	RESEARCH_NOTES: 1. “Royal Ancestry: A Study in Colonial & Medieval Families,” Douglas Richardson (2013): “ELA OF SALISBURY, suo jure Countess of Salisbury, daughter and heiress, born in or about 1191. She married before Sept. 1197 WILLIAM LONGESPÉE, Knt., Earl of Salisbury, Lieutenant of Gascony, 1202, Seneschal of Avranches, 1203, Constable of Dover Castle and Warden of the Cinque Ports, 1204-6, Sheriff of Wiltshire, 1204-7, 1213-26, Lord of the Honour and Castle of Eye, 1205, Sheriff of Cambridgeshire and Huntingdonshire, 1212-16, Sheriff of Devon, 1217-18, Sheriff of Somersetshire, 1217, Sheriff of Lincolnshire, 1217-21, Sheriff of Shropshire and Staffordshire, 1223-4, Constable of Portchester, Southampton, and Winchester Castles, 1224, Keeper of the March of Wales, illegitimate son of Henry II, King of England, by his mistress, Ida, daughter of Ralph de Tony, of Flamstead, Hertfordshire [see ENGLAND 4 for his ancestry]. He was born say 1175-80. They had four sons, William, Knt. [Earl of Salisbury], Stephen, Knt., Richard [Canon of Salisbury], and Nicholas [Bishop of Salisbury], and six daughters, Ida, Mary, Isabel, Ela, Ida (2nd of name), and Pernel. In 1191 he was granted the manor of Kirton, Lincolnshire by his brother, King Richard I. He was present at the Coronation of his brother, King John, in 1199. In 1200 he witnessed the homage of William the Lion, King of Scots to King John at Lincoln. In 1202 he went on a diplomatic mission to France. In 1204 he escorted Llywelyn ap Iorwerth, Prince of North Wales, to the king. In 1206 he was in the escort of William the Lion, King of Scotland, to meet King John at York. In 1209 he headed an embassy to the prelates and princes of Germany, on behalf of the King's nephew, Otto, King of the Romans. In 1212 he and his wife, Ela, instituted suit in the king's court against Ela's kinsman, Henry de Bohun, for the entire barony of Trowbridge, Wiltshire, Henry's chief fief. The king assumed control of the honour, but allowed Earl William's agents to levy scutage from its tenants. In 1213 Earl William was joint commander of an expedition to help the Count of Flanders against France. In 1214, as Marshal of the King of England, he commanded forces which recovered nearly all of Flanders for the Count; after which he and the Counts of Flanders and Boulogne were captured at the Battle of Bouvines and thrown into prison in chains. He was released before May 1215, and returned to England. In 1215 he was present at Runnymeade on the king's side at the signing of the Magna Carta [Great Charter]. He was granted the manor of Andover, Hampshire in 1215 by his brother, King John. He remained a zealous royalist until June 1216, when he surrendered Salisbury Castle to Prince Louis. He returned his allegiance to the king before 7 March 1216/7, when his lands were restored to him. In August 1217 he was with Hubert de Burgh in the victory over the French fleet off Thanet. In 1217 he was granted the manor of Aldbourne, Wiltshire by the king. In 1220 he and his wife laid the 4th and 5th stones at the founding of the new Cathedral at Salisbury, Wiltshire. In 1222 he gave the manor of Heythrop, Gloucestershire to certain monks and brethren of the Carthusian order, and assigned part of his revenues towards the building of a monastery for them there. In 1223 he took part in the successful expedition against Llywelyn. In 1225 he went with Richard, Earl of Cornwall as a supervisory commander on a successful expedition to Gascony. He gave Bradenstoke Priory the advowson of the church of Rogerville (Seine-Inférieure), together with land and rents there and in Sandouville (Seine-Inférieure), and a virgate of land in Chitterne and one in Amesbury, Wiltshire. At an unspecified date William, with consent of Ela his wife, granted the land called "Chandewyk" to William de Nevill, which property he had by grant of Jordan de Saint Martin. SIR WILLIAM LONGESPÉE, Earl of Salisbury, died at Salisbury Castle, Wiltshire 7 March 1225/6, and was buried in Salisbury Cathedral, Wiltshire. He left a will dated Midlent 1225. Among other bequests he left 200 marks to the new building of the Salisbury Cathedral Church, plus £200 to the building of St. Mary Bentleywood, Wiltshire, together with his traveling chapel-furniture, breviary, and numerous head of cattle. In 1226 Humphrey de Bohun, Earl of Hereford, brought an action against Earl William's widow, Ela, over the castle and honour of Trowbridge, Wiltshire, including lands in Bishtopstrow, East Coulston, Manningford Bruce (in Wilsford), Newton Tony, Staverton (in Trowbridge), Trowbridge, and Wilsford, Wiltshire; the suit was settled by compromise in 1230, whereby the two parties divided the honour between them. In Jan. 1227 the king transferred Salisbury castle, together with the shrievalty of Wiltshire, to Ela during his pleasure, which she held until 1228. Further evidence of Ela's high standing in royal favour is indicated by the king's regular gifts of venison to her throughout the late 1220s, including one in Sept. 1227 to celebrate the forthcoming nuptials of her daughter, Mary. In 1227 the monks of Heythrop not liking their habitation, prevailed on Ela to remove them to Hinton, Somerset, where, in her park, she began a monastery for them, which was completed in 1232. In 1227 she granted all her land west of Bendeywood, Wiltshire to the Hospital of St. Nicholas' Hospital for the sustenance of the poor and infirm. In 1229 Countess Ela founded Lacock Abbey, Wiltshire. In April 1231 Ela secured custody of the county of Wiltshire and Salisbury Castle for the term of her life for a fine of 200 marks, the king stipulating that neither the countess or her heirs possessed any legal claim to the castle and county by hereditary right. She was co-heiress c.1232-3 to her mother, Eleanor de Vitré, by which she inherited an interest in the manor of Cowlinge, Suffolk. In Feb. 1236 her son and heir, William Longespée, guaranteed her gifts to Lacock Abbey, while she agreed to surrender all her lands, rents and rights to him on 1 Nov. following. On 25 October 1236 Ela, Countes of Salisbury, reached agreement with William Longespée, her first born son, that she may grant a moiety of the manor of Heddington, Wiltshire to Lacock Priory, which property fell to her on the death of Maud de Mandeville, Countess of Essex and Hereford. In the winter 1236-7 she resigned her custody of the county of Wiltshire. She subsequently entered her religious foundation at Lacock, where she took the veil before spring 1238. She served as abbess there from 1240 to 1257. In 1249 she gave formal license to her son, William, to depart on a crusade. In 1250, on the eve of the battle in which he was killed in Egypt, she saw a vision of him standing fully armed entering heaven, being joyfully received by attendant angels. She died 24 August 1261, and was buried in the convent choir beneath the altar at Lacock Abbey. Note: William Longespée, Earl of Salisbury has long been known to have been an illegitimate child of Henry II, King of England, allegedly by his mistress, Rosamond Clifford. As early as 1902, however, it was suspected that William Longespée's mother was connected to the Akeny family, a cadet branch of the Tony family [see Wordsworth 15th Cent. Cartulary of St. Nicholas' Hospital, Salisbury (1902): xxv, footnote 1]. New evidence has surfaced in recent years which proves conclusively that William Longespée was the son of King Henry II by another mistress, a certain Ida de Tony, afterwards wife of Roger le Bigod (died 1221), Earl of Norfolk [see C.P. 9 (1936): 586-589 (sub Norfolk); Kemp Reading Abbey Cartularies 1 (Camden 4th Ser. 31) (1986): 3711. For evidence that William Longespée was the son of Countess Ida le Bigod, see London Cartulary of Bradenstoke Priory (Wiltshire Rec. Soc. 35) (1979): 143, 188, which includes two charters in which Earl William Longespée specifically names his mother, Countess Ida. It is known from contemporary records that Countess Ida le Bigod had a younger son named Ralph le Bigod [see Thompson Libor Vita Ecclesia Dunelmenis (Surtees Soc. 136) (1923): fo. 63b]. Among the English prisoners captured at the Battle of Bouvines in 1214, there was a certain Ralph [le] Bigod, who a contemporary French record refers to as "brother" [that is, half-brother] of William Longespée, Earl of Salisbury [see Recueil des Historiens des Gaules et de la France 17 (1878): 101 (Guillelmus Armoricus: "Isti sunt Prisiones (capti in bello Bovinensi) ... Radulphus Bigot, frater Comitis Saresburiensis"); see also Malo Un Grand Feudataire, Renaud de Dammartin et la Coalition de Bouvines (1898):199, 209, which author identified Ralph le Bigod as brother of William Longespée, Earl of Salisbury]. For evidence that Countess Ida was a member of the Tony family, see Morris Bigod Earls of Norfolk (2005): 2, who cites a royal inquest dated 1275, in which jurors affirmed that Earl Roger le Bigod was given Ida de Tony in marriage by King Henry II, together with the manors of Acle, Halvergate, and South Walsharn, Norfolk [which properties were formerly held by Earl Roger's father] [see Rotuli Hundredorum 1 (1812): 504, 537]. Morris shows that Earl Roger le Bigod received these manors by writ of the king, he having held them for three quarters of a year at Michaelmas 1182 [see PR 28 Henry II, 1181-1182 (Pipe Roll Soc.) (1910): 64]. This appears to pinpoint to marriage of Ida de Tony and Earl Roger le Bigod as having occurred about Christmas 1181. As for Countess Ida's parentage, it seems certain that she was a daughter of Ralph de Tony (died 1162), of Flamstead, Hertfordshire, by his wife, Margaret (b. c.1125, living 1185), daughter of Robert of Meulan, Knt., 1st Earl of Leicester [see C.P. 7 (1929): 530, footnote e (incorrectly dates Ralph and Margaret's marriage as "after 1155" based on the misdating of a charter - correction provided by Ray Phair); C.P. 12(1) (1953): 764-765 (sub Tony); Power Norman Frontier in the 12th & Early 13th Cents. (2004): 525 (Tosny ped.)]. For evidence which supports Ida's placement as a child of Ralph de Tony, several facts may be noted. First, Countess Ida and her husband, Roger le Bigod, are known to have named children, Ralph and Margaret, presumably in honor of Ida's parents, Ralph and Margaret de Tony [see Thompson Libor Vita Ecclesia Dunelmenis (Surtees Soc. 136) (1923): fo. 63b1. Countess Ida was herself evidently named in honor of Ralph de Tony's mother, Ida of Hainault. Second, Morris notes that Ida de Tony was a royal ward at the time of her marriage to Roger le Bigod, meaning she was in the king's gift and that her father was previously a tenant in chief of the king who presumably would have died sometime between 1161 and 1182 [Morris, ibid.]. The only plausible male candidate in the Tony family who could fit to be Ida's father who was also a tenant in chief of the king is Ralph de Tony. Next, William Longespée and his descendants had a long standing association with the family of Roger de Akeny, of Garsington, Oxfordshire, which Roger was a younger brother of Ralph de Tony (died 1162) [see C.P. 8 (1932): chart foll. 464; 14 (1998): 614; Loyd Origins of Some Anglo-Norman Fams. (1951): 2; VCH Oxford 5 (1957): 138; Harper-Bill Dodnash Priory Charters (Suffolk Rec. Soc. 16) (1998): 34-37, 39-40, 72-73; Fam. Hist. 18 (1995-97): 47-64; 19 (1998): 125-129]. Lastly, Roger le Bigod and his step-son, William Longespée, both had associations with William the lion, King of Scots, which connection can be readily explained by virtue of King William's wife, Ermengarde, being sister to Constance de Beaumont, wife of Countess Ida's presumed brother, Roger de Tony [see C.P. 12(1) (1953): 760-769 (sub Tony)]. King William the Lion was likewise near related to both of Countess Ida's presumed parents, her father by a shared descent from Countess Judith, the niece of King William the Conqueror, and her mother by a shared descent from Isabel de Vermandois, Countess of Surrey. Roger le Bigod and William Longespée were both present with other English relations of William the lion at an important gathering at Lincoln in 1200, when William the lion paid homage to King John of England [see Stubbs Chronica Magistri Rogeri de Houedene 4 (Rolls Ser. 51) (1871): 141-142]. Thus, naming patterns, familial and political associations give strong evidence that Ida, wife of Earl Roger le Bigod, was a daughter of Ralph de Tony. Sandford Gen.

ALICE LONGESPÉE, married (1st) 1260-1 GEOFFREY DE JARPENVILLE Alice's maritagium included a messuage and lands in Little Stanmore, Middlesex, formerly belonging to Henry Bucointe, Knt., and land formerly held of her father, Nicholas Longespée, by Ralph de la Forde and others in a field called "Colemannesdene." They presumably had one son, Nicholas (living 1294). Before 1277 Alice's lands in Little Stanmore, Middlesex were fraudulently acquired by the moneylender, Adam de Stratton. She presumably married (2nd) WILLIAM DE BARNEVILLE, of Harrow, Middlesex. They had one son, John, of Little Stanmore and Oakington (in Harrow), Middlesex (occurs 1294-1337), and one daughter, Margaret, both of whom were legatees in the 1294 will of their grandfather, Bishop Nicholas Longespée. William (husband of Alice) was also appointed one of the executors of the 1294 will of Bishop Longespée. On Adam de Stratton's disgrace in 1290, Alice presumably recovered her lands, as her son, John de Barneville, later had lands in this parish [see C.P.R. 1313-1317 (1898): 558)]. WILLIAM DE BARNEVILLE was living in 1297/8. Alice and her 2nd husband, William de Barneville, are direct ancestors of William Barnville, of Harrow, Middlesex (died c.1397), Knight of the Shire for Middlesex, whose son (or grandson), John Barnville (died before 1482), left a daughter and heiress, Elizabeth Barnville [wife of Thomas Frowick, Knt, Chief Justice of the Common Pleas (died 1506) and Thomas Jakes, Esq.

She married shortly after 16 May 1226 (as his 1st wife) WILLIAM DE VESCY, Knt., of Alnwick, Northumberland, son and heir of Eustace de Vescy, Knt., of Alnwick, Northumberland, by Margaret, illegitimate daughter of William the Lion, King of Scots [see SCOTLAND 4.vi for his ancestry]. He was born about 1205 (minor in 1216). They had no issue. He had livery of his inheritance 16 May 1226. He accompanied King Henry III's expedition to Brittany in 1230. In 1232 and 1234 he was forbidden to attend tournaments at Blyth, Northampton, and Cambridge. He was appointed to escort King Alexander and Queen Joan of Scotland to the English court in 1235, and again in August 1237. In 1242 he went with the king to Gascony. At his wife, Isabel's death, she was buried at Alnwick Abbey, Northumberland. He married (2nd) before 1244 AGNES DE FERRERS, daughter of William de Ferrers, Knt., 5th Earl of Derby, by his 1st wife, Sibyl, daughter of William Marshal, Knt., 4th Earl of Pembroke (or Strigoil), hereditary Master Marshal [see FERRERS 7 for her ancestry].

ELA LONGSPEE, married THOMAS OF WARWICK, Knt., 6th Earl of Warwick, son and heir of Henry, Earl of Warwick, by his 1st wife, Margery, daughter of Herity d'Oilly. He was presumably of age in 1229. They had no issue. He carried the third sword at the Coronation of Queen Eleanor in 1236. He died 26 (or 27) June 1242, and was buried in St. Mary's, Warwick. In 1247 his widow, Ela, Countess of Warwick, and Simon Fitz Simon sued John de Plescy, Earl of Warwick, and his wife, Margery, in a plea of warranty. Ela married (2nd) after Nov. 1254 and before 23 March 1254/5 (as his 2nd wife) PHILIP BASSET, Knt., of Soham, Cambridgeshire, Wycombe, Buckinghamshire, Maplederwell, Hampshire, Kirdington, Oxfordshire, Woking, Surrey, Wootton Basset, Wiltshire, etc., Constable of Colchester, Corfe, Devizes, Hadleigh, Oxford, and Sherbome Castles, 1259, Justiciar of England, Keeper of the Tower of London, younger son of Alan Basset, of Wootton Basset, Wiltshire, Wycombe, Buckinghamshire, Maplederwell, Hampshire, Woking, Surrey, etc., by Aline, daughter and co-heiress Philip de Gay, of Wootton Bassett and Broadtown, Wiltshire and Northbrook, Oxfordshire. They had no issue. In the period, 1230-41, his brother, Gilbert Basset, conveyed to him land in Middleton, late of Thomas Basset their older brother. In 1233 he helped free Hubert de Burgh, Earl of Kent, from captivity in Devizes Castle in Wiltshire; in return in 1234 Hubert de Burgh gave him 176 acres of his demesne land in Soham, Cambridgeshite, with lordship over numerous tenants. In 1238-9 he was granted lands in Soham and Fordham, Cambridgeshire by Peter de Bendenges and his wife Burga. In 1242 he was appointed one of the Constables of the Host, then about to set out for Poitou. In consideration of his services there, he was granted the manor of Kersey, Suffolk -- 1243. In 1245 he was appointed ambassador to the Council of Lyons. About 1245 he obtained a license to build a chapel in Soham, Cambridgeshire and to hear service therein. In 1252 William de Wydindon demised to him land and wood of `Okregge' in West Wycombe, Buckinghamshire for a term of seven years; Philip promised to keep William in his service, providing him food and clothing as one of his own esquires and supplying him with another horse if his own died; the grant was made perpetual in 1254. He fought in Wales in 1258. Philip was heir in 1259 to his older brother, Fulk Basset, Bishop of London. In 1260 Simon, Abbot of Bury St. Edmunds, demised the manor of Stapleford Abbots, Essex to him. The same year, at the instance of his cousin, Ela, Countess of Warwick, the king granted the abbess and nuns of Lacock Abbey quittance from cheminage in all the king's forests in Wiltshire and Gloucestershire. In 1261 he had a grant of 1000 marks per annum to maintain him in the office of Justiciar. About 1261 Laurence de Sanford granted him the manor of Lecquid, Glamorgan, Wales. In 1261-2 Thomas de Awelton and Agnes his wife conveyed lands in Doddington and Northwode, Cambridgeshire to Philip and his wife, Ela. In 1262 John de Burgh and Hawise his wife leased lands in Soham, Fordharn, Landwade, Wykes, Hanney, etc., Cambridgeshire to Sir Philip Basset for a term of 16 years for the sum of 400/. in hand. In 1262 Philip leased land in Rotherwick, Hampshire from Richard de la Rugge. The same year Richard, King of the Romans, quitclaimed to him all suit of court at Wallingford, Berkshire for life. He fought on the king's side at the Battle of Lewes in 1264, where the king was taken prisoner by the barons. In 1266 Thomas de Gay, rector of the church of Wootton Basset, Wiltshire, granted Philip his free chapel at Fasterne, Wiltshire, with renunciation of all right to sell the offerings made therein; the said Philip to pay 20s. yearly to the parish church of Wootton. In 1267 the king granted him for life a deer leap at his new park below his town of Wootton Basset, Wiltshire, and another at his old park below his manor of "la Fasteme." In 1267-8 his wife, Ela, gave property in Stinkinglane, in the parish of St. Nicholas de Macellis, London to the City of London for the use of the Franciscans. At an unknown date, Richard son of Richard de la Wyz released to him all his right in a meadow with pasture for six cattle in Compton, Wiltshire. Sometime before 1271 John de Burgh granted that he pay him 20s. yearly to the custody of Dover Castle, due from the manor of Beeston, which Philip holds from him. SIR PHILIP BASSET died testate 29 October 1271, and was buried at Stanley, Wiltshire. In 1278 his widow, Ela, complained that when she sent John the reeve of Claverdon to Brandon Castle, Warwickshire with a letter for 10 marks which Thebaud de Verdun owed her as relief for the manor, Eleanor, widow of John de Verdun (step-mother of Thebaud de Verdun) and her men took away the letter and imprisoned him for one night. In 1280 Ela was summoned to show by what warrant she took the fines of the breaches of the assize of bread and ale in Maplederwell, Hampshire, and to show cause why she should not permit her villeins of Maplederwell to make suit at the king's hundred court of Basingstoke. The same year she sued Hugh de Courtenay and his wife Eleanor (Ela's step-granddaughter) for one messuage and lands in Wootton Courtney, Somerset, which she claimed to be her right by the gift of Hugh de Neville; the jury found in favor of Hugh and Eleanor. In 1289 Ela, Countess of Warwick, was summoned to answer Hugh le Despenser on a plea as to why she had committed waste in the woods which she held in dower of Hugh's inheritance in Compton Bassett and Wolfhale, Wiltshire to Hugh's disinheritance. In 1290 she granted a messuage and 1/2 virgate of land in Nateley Eastrop, a croft of eight acres in Up Nately, and a messuage and garden in Maplederwell, all in Hampshire, to John, Bishop of Winchester, for use of a chantry and maintenance of a chaplain in the chapel of Maplederwell. In 1293 Hugh le Despenser confirmed the grant of Lady Ela Longespée, late the wife of Philip Basset, to Adam de Stock and Roger de Stock his brother of lands in Wolfhale, Wiltshire which she held in dower of Hugh's inheritance. Ela, Countess of Warwick, died 9 Feb. 1297/8, and was buried in Oseney Abbey, Oxfordshire. Sandford Gen. Hist. of the Kings of England (1677): 116.

She became the second time a widow in 1271, and survived for many years after, a very wealthy lady, having no children by either husband. In 1285 she was returned as holding the manor of Hoke-Norton in Oxfordshire, in capite, by the sergeantry of carvng before our lord the King on Christmas Day, when she had for her fee the King's knife with which she cut. We find several records of her piety, particularly in Oxford and its vicinity; for she seems to have lived during her widowhood at Headington, only two miles from that city. In the year 1287 we find the Countess of Warwick visiting Lacock, on which occasion she quit-claimed to the abbey her title in the manor of Hatherop. She died on Sunday Feb. 6, 1297, and was buried at Ousney Abbey, near Oxford, where Leland saw her tomb, 'a very fair flat marble, in the habit of a vowess, graven in a copper plate.' Two Seals of this lady are extant. The first closely resembles that of her Mother, having on one side her own figure holding a hawk, and on the other side the arms of Longespé in a shield, with a lion above and below; it is inscribed on both side S.

In her second Seal, the coat of Basset (wavy Or and Gules) is substituted for that of Longespe; the latter is placed in her hand, on the obverse, instead of the hawk, and is balanced by the coat of Newburgh, (checky Or and Azure, a chevron Ermine) placed over her right shoulder.

7111	RESEARCH_NOTES: 1. “Royal Ancestry: A Study in Colonial & Medieval Families,” Douglas Richardson (2013): “ELA OF SALISBURY, suo jure Countess of Salisbury, daughter and heiress, born in or about 1191. She married before Sept. 1197 WILLIAM LONGESPÉE, Knt., Earl of Salisbury, Lieutenant of Gascony, 1202, Seneschal of Avranches, 1203, Constable of Dover Castle and Warden of the Cinque Ports, 1204-6, Sheriff of Wiltshire, 1204-7, 1213-26, Lord of the Honour and Castle of Eye, 1205, Sheriff of Cambridgeshire and Huntingdonshire, 1212-16, Sheriff of Devon, 1217-18, Sheriff of Somersetshire, 1217, Sheriff of Lincolnshire, 1217-21, Sheriff of Shropshire and Staffordshire, 1223-4, Constable of Portchester, Southampton, and Winchester Castles, 1224, Keeper of the March of Wales, illegitimate son of Henry II, King of England, by his mistress, Ida, daughter of Ralph de Tony, of Flamstead, Hertfordshire [see ENGLAND 4 for his ancestry]. He was born say 1175-80. They had four sons, William, Knt. [Earl of Salisbury], Stephen, Knt., Richard [Canon of Salisbury], and Nicholas [Bishop of Salisbury], and six daughters, Ida, Mary, Isabel, Ela, Ida (2nd of name), and Pernel. In 1191 he was granted the manor of Kirton, Lincolnshire by his brother, King Richard I. He was present at the Coronation of his brother, King John, in 1199. In 1200 he witnessed the homage of William the Lion, King of Scots to King John at Lincoln. In 1202 he went on a diplomatic mission to France. In 1204 he escorted Llywelyn ap Iorwerth, Prince of North Wales, to the king. In 1206 he was in the escort of William the Lion, King of Scotland, to meet King John at York. In 1209 he headed an embassy to the prelates and princes of Germany, on behalf of the King's nephew, Otto, King of the Romans. In 1212 he and his wife, Ela, instituted suit in the king's court against Ela's kinsman, Henry de Bohun, for the entire barony of Trowbridge, Wiltshire, Henry's chief fief. The king assumed control of the honour, but allowed Earl William's agents to levy scutage from its tenants. In 1213 Earl William was joint commander of an expedition to help the Count of Flanders against France. In 1214, as Marshal of the King of England, he commanded forces which recovered nearly all of Flanders for the Count; after which he and the Counts of Flanders and Boulogne were captured at the Battle of Bouvines and thrown into prison in chains. He was released before May 1215, and returned to England. In 1215 he was present at Runnymeade on the king's side at the signing of the Magna Carta [Great Charter]. He was granted the manor of Andover, Hampshire in 1215 by his brother, King John. He remained a zealous royalist until June 1216, when he surrendered Salisbury Castle to Prince Louis. He returned his allegiance to the king before 7 March 1216/7, when his lands were restored to him. In August 1217 he was with Hubert de Burgh in the victory over the French fleet off Thanet. In 1217 he was granted the manor of Aldbourne, Wiltshire by the king. In 1220 he and his wife laid the 4th and 5th stones at the founding of the new Cathedral at Salisbury, Wiltshire. In 1222 he gave the manor of Heythrop, Gloucestershire to certain monks and brethren of the Carthusian order, and assigned part of his revenues towards the building of a monastery for them there. In 1223 he took part in the successful expedition against Llywelyn. In 1225 he went with Richard, Earl of Cornwall as a supervisory commander on a successful expedition to Gascony. He gave Bradenstoke Priory the advowson of the church of Rogerville (Seine-Inférieure), together with land and rents there and in Sandouville (Seine-Inférieure), and a virgate of land in Chitterne and one in Amesbury, Wiltshire. At an unspecified date William, with consent of Ela his wife, granted the land called "Chandewyk" to William de Nevill, which property he had by grant of Jordan de Saint Martin. SIR WILLIAM LONGESPÉE, Earl of Salisbury, died at Salisbury Castle, Wiltshire 7 March 1225/6, and was buried in Salisbury Cathedral, Wiltshire. He left a will dated Midlent 1225. Among other bequests he left 200 marks to the new building of the Salisbury Cathedral Church, plus £200 to the building of St. Mary Bentleywood, Wiltshire, together with his traveling chapel-furniture, breviary, and numerous head of cattle. In 1226 Humphrey de Bohun, Earl of Hereford, brought an action against Earl William's widow, Ela, over the castle and honour of Trowbridge, Wiltshire, including lands in Bishtopstrow, East Coulston, Manningford Bruce (in Wilsford), Newton Tony, Staverton (in Trowbridge), Trowbridge, and Wilsford, Wiltshire; the suit was settled by compromise in 1230, whereby the two parties divided the honour between them. In Jan. 1227 the king transferred Salisbury castle, together with the shrievalty of Wiltshire, to Ela during his pleasure, which she held until 1228. Further evidence of Ela's high standing in royal favour is indicated by the king's regular gifts of venison to her throughout the late 1220s, including one in Sept. 1227 to celebrate the forthcoming nuptials of her daughter, Mary. In 1227 the monks of Heythrop not liking their habitation, prevailed on Ela to remove them to Hinton, Somerset, where, in her park, she began a monastery for them, which was completed in 1232. In 1227 she granted all her land west of Bendeywood, Wiltshire to the Hospital of St. Nicholas' Hospital for the sustenance of the poor and infirm. In 1229 Countess Ela founded Lacock Abbey, Wiltshire. In April 1231 Ela secured custody of the county of Wiltshire and Salisbury Castle for the term of her life for a fine of 200 marks, the king stipulating that neither the countess or her heirs possessed any legal claim to the castle and county by hereditary right. She was co-heiress c.1232-3 to her mother, Eleanor de Vitré, by which she inherited an interest in the manor of Cowlinge, Suffolk. In Feb. 1236 her son and heir, William Longespée, guaranteed her gifts to Lacock Abbey, while she agreed to surrender all her lands, rents and rights to him on 1 Nov. following. On 25 October 1236 Ela, Countes of Salisbury, reached agreement with William Longespée, her first born son, that she may grant a moiety of the manor of Heddington, Wiltshire to Lacock Priory, which property fell to her on the death of Maud de Mandeville, Countess of Essex and Hereford. In the winter 1236-7 she resigned her custody of the county of Wiltshire. She subsequently entered her religious foundation at Lacock, where she took the veil before spring 1238. She served as abbess there from 1240 to 1257. In 1249 she gave formal license to her son, William, to depart on a crusade. In 1250, on the eve of the battle in which he was killed in Egypt, she saw a vision of him standing fully armed entering heaven, being joyfully received by attendant angels. She died 24 August 1261, and was buried in the convent choir beneath the altar at Lacock Abbey. Note: William Longespée, Earl of Salisbury has long been known to have been an illegitimate child of Henry II, King of England, allegedly by his mistress, Rosamond Clifford. As early as 1902, however, it was suspected that William Longespée's mother was connected to the Akeny family, a cadet branch of the Tony family [see Wordsworth 15th Cent. Cartulary of St. Nicholas' Hospital, Salisbury (1902): xxv, footnote 1]. New evidence has surfaced in recent years which proves conclusively that William Longespée was the son of King Henry II by another mistress, a certain Ida de Tony, afterwards wife of Roger le Bigod (died 1221), Earl of Norfolk [see C.P. 9 (1936): 586-589 (sub Norfolk); Kemp Reading Abbey Cartularies 1 (Camden 4th Ser. 31) (1986): 3711. For evidence that William Longespée was the son of Countess Ida le Bigod, see London Cartulary of Bradenstoke Priory (Wiltshire Rec. Soc. 35) (1979): 143, 188, which includes two charters in which Earl William Longespée specifically names his mother, Countess Ida. It is known from contemporary records that Countess Ida le Bigod had a younger son named Ralph le Bigod [see Thompson Libor Vita Ecclesia Dunelmenis (Surtees Soc. 136) (1923): fo. 63b]. Among the English prisoners captured at the Battle of Bouvines in 1214, there was a certain Ralph [le] Bigod, who a contemporary French record refers to as "brother" [that is, half-brother] of William Longespée, Earl of Salisbury [see Recueil des Historiens des Gaules et de la France 17 (1878): 101 (Guillelmus Armoricus: "Isti sunt Prisiones (capti in bello Bovinensi) ... Radulphus Bigot, frater Comitis Saresburiensis"); see also Malo Un Grand Feudataire, Renaud de Dammartin et la Coalition de Bouvines (1898):199, 209, which author identified Ralph le Bigod as brother of William Longespée, Earl of Salisbury]. For evidence that Countess Ida was a member of the Tony family, see Morris Bigod Earls of Norfolk (2005): 2, who cites a royal inquest dated 1275, in which jurors affirmed that Earl Roger le Bigod was given Ida de Tony in marriage by King Henry II, together with the manors of Acle, Halvergate, and South Walsharn, Norfolk [which properties were formerly held by Earl Roger's father] [see Rotuli Hundredorum 1 (1812): 504, 537]. Morris shows that Earl Roger le Bigod received these manors by writ of the king, he having held them for three quarters of a year at Michaelmas 1182 [see PR 28 Henry II, 1181-1182 (Pipe Roll Soc.) (1910): 64]. This appears to pinpoint to marriage of Ida de Tony and Earl Roger le Bigod as having occurred about Christmas 1181. As for Countess Ida's parentage, it seems certain that she was a daughter of Ralph de Tony (died 1162), of Flamstead, Hertfordshire, by his wife, Margaret (b. c.1125, living 1185), daughter of Robert of Meulan, Knt., 1st Earl of Leicester [see C.P. 7 (1929): 530, footnote e (incorrectly dates Ralph and Margaret's marriage as "after 1155" based on the misdating of a charter - correction provided by Ray Phair); C.P. 12(1) (1953): 764-765 (sub Tony); Power Norman Frontier in the 12th & Early 13th Cents. (2004): 525 (Tosny ped.)]. For evidence which supports Ida's placement as a child of Ralph de Tony, several facts may be noted. First, Countess Ida and her husband, Roger le Bigod, are known to have named children, Ralph and Margaret, presumably in honor of Ida's parents, Ralph and Margaret de Tony [see Thompson Libor Vita Ecclesia Dunelmenis (Surtees Soc. 136) (1923): fo. 63b1. Countess Ida was herself evidently named in honor of Ralph de Tony's mother, Ida of Hainault. Second, Morris notes that Ida de Tony was a royal ward at the time of her marriage to Roger le Bigod, meaning she was in the king's gift and that her father was previously a tenant in chief of the king who presumably would have died sometime between 1161 and 1182 [Morris, ibid.]. The only plausible male candidate in the Tony family who could fit to be Ida's father who was also a tenant in chief of the king is Ralph de Tony. Next, William Longespée and his descendants had a long standing association with the family of Roger de Akeny, of Garsington, Oxfordshire, which Roger was a younger brother of Ralph de Tony (died 1162) [see C.P. 8 (1932): chart foll. 464; 14 (1998): 614; Loyd Origins of Some Anglo-Norman Fams. (1951): 2; VCH Oxford 5 (1957): 138; Harper-Bill Dodnash Priory Charters (Suffolk Rec. Soc. 16) (1998): 34-37, 39-40, 72-73; Fam. Hist. 18 (1995-97): 47-64; 19 (1998): 125-129]. Lastly, Roger le Bigod and his step-son, William Longespée, both had associations with William the lion, King of Scots, which connection can be readily explained by virtue of King William's wife, Ermengarde, being sister to Constance de Beaumont, wife of Countess Ida's presumed brother, Roger de Tony [see C.P. 12(1) (1953): 760-769 (sub Tony)]. King William the Lion was likewise near related to both of Countess Ida's presumed parents, her father by a shared descent from Countess Judith, the niece of King William the Conqueror, and her mother by a shared descent from Isabel de Vermandois, Countess of Surrey. Roger le Bigod and William Longespée were both present with other English relations of William the lion at an important gathering at Lincoln in 1200, when William the lion paid homage to King John of England [see Stubbs Chronica Magistri Rogeri de Houedene 4 (Rolls Ser. 51) (1871): 141-142]. Thus, naming patterns, familial and political associations give strong evidence that Ida, wife of Earl Roger le Bigod, was a daughter of Ralph de Tony. Sandford Gen.

STEPHEN LONGESPÉE, Knt., of King's Sutton, Northamptonshire, Great Gaddesden, Hertfordshire, Stokes, Oxfordshire, and Wanborough, Wiltshire, Seneschal of Gascony, Justiciar of Ireland, Constable of Bourg-sur-Mer (in Gironde), Corfe, and Sherbome Castles, and, in right of his wife, of Corrofin, co. Mayo and Kilkea and Tirsteldermot, co. Connacht, Ireland, 2nd son. He witnessed a charter for Baldwin III, Count of Guisnes, in 1241. The same year he acknowledged he owed Richard Basset a debt of 20 marks. He married between 8 Feb. 1242/3 and 16 Dec. 1244 EMELINE DE RIDELISFORD, widow of Hugh de Lacy, 1st Earl of Ulster (died 1242), and daughter and co-heiress of Walter de Ridelisford, of Bray, Admekin (or Headford), Corofin, and Tristledermot (or Casdedermot), Ireland, by his wife, Armor. They had two daughters, Ela and Emeline. In 1243/6 he witnessed a charter of his cousin, Richard, Earl of Cornwall, to Shaftesbury Abbey. In 1247 he was pardoned a debt of £33 and a half mark by Licoria wife of David of Oxford the Jew. He presented to the church of Great Gaddesden, Hertfordshire in 1247. He took the cross in 1250. In 1251 he had a dispute with the Prior of St. Swithun's concerning lands in Hyneton. In 1255 he went to Gascony with Edward the king's son. In 1258 he was granted wardship of the land and heirs of his late brother-in-law, Walter Fitz Robert, by Edward the king's son for 3,000 marks.

He was born about 1238. They had no issue. He married (1st) shortly before 28 October 1259 (date of dispensation to remove impediment to marriage) MAUD DE PRENDERGAST [see PRENDERGAST 8], born about 1242, widow successively of David Fitz Maurice (died 1249) and Maurice de Rochford (died 1258), and daughter and coheiress of Gerald de Prendergast (died 1251), of Beauvoir (or Carrigaline) and Ballacha in Orrery, co. Cork, Ireland, by his 2nd wife, ___, daughter of Richard de Burgh, lord of Connacht, Justiciar of Ireland [see PRENDERGAST 7 for her ancestry]. By his 1st wife, Maud de Prendergast, he had two daughters, Juliane (wife of Thomas de Clare, Knt., lord of Thomond in Connacht [see BADLESMERE 8]) and Amabil. He obtained lands in Connaught by feoffment of his father. In 1259 he was granted Athlone Castle and the shrievalty of Connaught. In 1260 he succeeded in plundering the O'Donnells, but was defeated in an expedition against Conor O'Brian at Coill-Berrain in Munster. He was summoned to England in 1262. In 1264 he was ordered to secure the Irish lands of the young Earl of Gloucester. In 1264 he took the justiciar, Thebaud le Boteler (or Butler), and John Cogan prisoners. He was twice granted letters of protection to England in 1266. In 1272 or 1273 he led another expedition against Brian Ruadh O'Brien. In 1276-7 Maurice and his wife, Emeline, brought an assize of novel disseisin against Humphrey de Bohun, Earl of Hereford and Essex, and others regarding a tenement in Denford (in Kintbury), Berkshire. In 1277 he accompanied his son-in-law, Thomas de Clare, against Brian Ruadh O'Brien, King of 'Thomond; Brian was taken prisoner and beheaded. SIR MAURICE FITZ MAURICE died testate shortly before 2 Sept. 1277. In 1292 his widow, Emeline, sued Thomas Fitz Maurice for the manor of Killorglin, co. Kerry, Ireland, which she claimed as her right by the gift of Christina de Marsh who previously had enfeoffed her and Maurice her late husband; the defendant vouched to warranty Gilbert de Clare, minor son and heir of Thomas de Clare. His widow, Emeline, was a legatee in the 1294 will of her uncle, Nicholas Longespée, Bishop of Salisbury. In 1298-9 she had a suit with John de Inteberge about lands at Kilcaly, near Limerick. In 1305-6 she settled the manor of Denford (in Kintbury), Berkshire on herself, with reversion to her great niece, Maud la Zouche, then betrothed to Robert de Holand, Knt., afterwards 1st Lord Holand. In 1314 she was granted the manor of Avington, Berkshire for life by Thomas, Earl of Lancaster. She presented to the chapel of Wanborough, Wiltshire in 1316. In 1322, staying in England, she had letters appointing attorneys to represent her in Ireland for two years. She died shortly before 23 May 1331.

ALICE LONGESPÉE, married (1st) 1260-1 GEOFFREY DE JARPENVILLE Alice's maritagium included a messuage and lands in Little Stanmore, Middlesex, formerly belonging to Henry Bucointe, Knt., and land formerly held of her father, Nicholas Longespée, by Ralph de la Forde and others in a field called "Colemannesdene." They presumably had one son, Nicholas (living 1294). Before 1277 Alice's lands in Little Stanmore, Middlesex were fraudulently acquired by the moneylender, Adam de Stratton. She presumably married (2nd) WILLIAM DE BARNEVILLE, of Harrow, Middlesex. They had one son, John, of Little Stanmore and Oakington (in Harrow), Middlesex (occurs 1294-1337), and one daughter, Margaret, both of whom were legatees in the 1294 will of their grandfather, Bishop Nicholas Longespée. William (husband of Alice) was also appointed one of the executors of the 1294 will of Bishop Longespée. On Adam de Stratton's disgrace in 1290, Alice presumably recovered her lands, as her son, John de Barneville, later had lands in this parish [see C.P.R. 1313-1317 (1898): 558)]. WILLIAM DE BARNEVILLE was living in 1297/8. Alice and her 2nd husband, William de Barneville, are direct ancestors of William Barnville, of Harrow, Middlesex (died c.1397), Knight of the Shire for Middlesex, whose son (or grandson), John Barnville (died before 1482), left a daughter and heiress, Elizabeth Barnville [wife of Thomas Frowick, Knt, Chief Justice of the Common Pleas (died 1506) and Thomas Jakes, Esq.

In 1232 and 1234 he was forbidden to attend tournaments at Blyth, Northampton, and Cambridge. He was appointed to escort King Alexander and Queen Joan of Scotland to the English court in 1235, and again in August 1237. In 1242 he went with the king to Gascony.

ELA LONGSPEE, married THOMAS OF WARWICK, Knt., 6th Earl of Warwick, son and heir of Henry, Earl of Warwick, by his 1st wife, Margery, daughter of Herity d'Oilly. He was presumably of age in 1229. They had no issue. He carried the third sword at the Coronation of Queen Eleanor in 1236. He died 26 (or 27) June 1242, and was buried in St. Mary's, Warwick. In 1247 his widow, Ela, Countess of Warwick, and Simon Fitz Simon sued John de Plescy, Earl of Warwick, and his wife, Margery, in a plea of warranty. Ela married (2nd) after Nov. 1254 and before 23 March 1254/5 (as his 2nd wife) PHILIP BASSET, Knt., of Soham, Cambridgeshire, Wycombe, Buckinghamshire, Maplederwell, Hampshire, Kirdington, Oxfordshire, Woking, Surrey, Wootton Basset, Wiltshire, etc., Constable of Colchester, Corfe, Devizes, Hadleigh, Oxford, and Sherbome Castles, 1259, Justiciar of England, Keeper of the Tower of London, younger son of Alan Basset, of Wootton Basset, Wiltshire, Wycombe, Buckinghamshire, Maplederwell, Hampshire, Woking, Surrey, etc., by Aline, daughter and co-heiress Philip de Gay, of Wootton Bassett and Broadtown, Wiltshire and Northbrook, Oxfordshire. They had no issue. In the period, 1230-41, his brother, Gilbert Basset, conveyed to him land in Middleton, late of Thomas Basset their older brother. In 1233 he helped free Hubert de Burgh, Earl of Kent, from captivity in Devizes Castle in Wiltshire; in return in 1234 Hubert de Burgh gave him 176 acres of his demesne land in Soham, Cambridgeshite, with lordship over numerous tenants. In 1238-9 he was granted lands in Soham and Fordham, Cambridgeshire by Peter de Bendenges and his wife Burga. In 1242 he was appointed one of the Constables of the Host, then about to set out for Poitou. In consideration of his services there, he was granted the manor of Kersey, Suffolk -- 1243. In 1245 he was appointed ambassador to the Council of Lyons. About 1245 he obtained a license to build a chapel in Soham, Cambridgeshire and to hear service therein. In 1252 William de Wydindon demised to him land and wood of `Okregge' in West Wycombe, Buckinghamshire for a term of seven years; Philip promised to keep William in his service, providing him food and clothing as one of his own esquires and supplying him with another horse if his own died; the grant was made perpetual in 1254. He fought in Wales in 1258. Philip was heir in 1259 to his older brother, Fulk Basset, Bishop of London. In 1260 Simon, Abbot of Bury St. Edmunds, demised the manor of Stapleford Abbots, Essex to him. The same year, at the instance of his cousin, Ela, Countess of Warwick, the king granted the abbess and nuns of Lacock Abbey quittance from cheminage in all the king's forests in Wiltshire and Gloucestershire. In 1261 he had a grant of 1000 marks per annum to maintain him in the office of Justiciar. About 1261 Laurence de Sanford granted him the manor of Lecquid, Glamorgan, Wales. In 1261-2 Thomas de Awelton and Agnes his wife conveyed lands in Doddington and Northwode, Cambridgeshire to Philip and his wife, Ela. In 1262 John de Burgh and Hawise his wife leased lands in Soham, Fordharn, Landwade, Wykes, Hanney, etc., Cambridgeshire to Sir Philip Basset for a term of 16 years for the sum of 400/. in hand. In 1262 Philip leased land in Rotherwick, Hampshire from Richard de la Rugge. The same year Richard, King of the Romans, quitclaimed to him all suit of court at Wallingford, Berkshire for life. He fought on the king's side at the Battle of Lewes in 1264, where the king was taken prisoner by the barons. In 1266 Thomas de Gay, rector of the church of Wootton Basset, Wiltshire, granted Philip his free chapel at Fasterne, Wiltshire, with renunciation of all right to sell the offerings made therein; the said Philip to pay 20s. yearly to the parish church of Wootton. In 1267 the king granted him for life a deer leap at his new park below his town of Wootton Basset, Wiltshire, and another at his old park below his manor of "la Fasteme." In 1267-8 his wife, Ela, gave property in Stinkinglane, in the parish of St. Nicholas de Macellis, London to the City of London for the use of the Franciscans. At an unknown date, Richard son of Richard de la Wyz released to him all his right in a meadow with pasture for six cattle in Compton, Wiltshire. Sometime before 1271 John de Burgh granted that he pay him 20s. yearly to the custody of Dover Castle, due from the manor of Beeston, which Philip holds from him. SIR PHILIP BASSET died testate 29 October 1271, and was buried at Stanley, Wiltshire. In 1278 his widow, Ela, complained that when she sent John the reeve of Claverdon to Brandon Castle, Warwickshire with a letter for 10 marks which Thebaud de Verdun owed her as relief for the manor, Eleanor, widow of John de Verdun (step-mother of Thebaud de Verdun) and her men took away the letter and imprisoned him for one night. In 1280 Ela was summoned to show by what warrant she took the fines of the breaches of the assize of bread and ale in Maplederwell, Hampshire, and to show cause why she should not permit her villeins of Maplederwell to make suit at the king's hundred court of Basingstoke. The same year she sued Hugh de Courtenay and his wife Eleanor (Ela's step-granddaughter) for one messuage and lands in Wootton Courtney, Somerset, which she claimed to be her right by the gift of Hugh de Neville; the jury found in favor of Hugh and Eleanor. In 1289 Ela, Countess of Warwick, was summoned to answer Hugh le Despenser on a plea as to why she had committed waste in the woods which she held in dower of Hugh's inheritance in Compton Bassett and Wolfhale, Wiltshire to Hugh's disinheritance. In 1290 she granted a messuage and 1/2 virgate of land in Nateley Eastrop, a croft of eight acres in Up Nately, and a messuage and garden in Maplederwell, all in Hampshire, to John, Bishop of Winchester, for use of a chantry and maintenance of a chaplain in the chapel of Maplederwell. In 1293 Hugh le Despenser confirmed the grant of Lady Ela Longespée, late the wife of Philip Basset, to Adam de Stock and Roger de Stock his brother of lands in Wolfhale, Wiltshire which she held in dower of Hugh's inheritance. Ela, Countess of Warwick, died 9 Feb. 1297/8, and was buried in Oseney Abbey, Oxfordshire. Sandford Gen. Hist. of the Kings of England (1677): 116.

She became the second time a widow in 1271, and survived for many years after, a very wealthy lady, having no children by either husband. In 1285 she was returned as holding the manor of Hoke-Norton in Oxfordshire, in capite, by the sergeantry of carvng before our lord the King on Christmas Day, when she had for her fee the King's knife with which she cut. We find several records of her piety, particularly in Oxford and its vicinity; for she seems to have lived during her widowhood at Headington, only two miles from that city. In the year 1287 we find the Countess of Warwick visiting Lacock, on which occasion she quit-claimed to the abbey her title in the manor of Hatherop. She died on Sunday Feb. 6, 1297, and was buried at Ousney Abbey, near Oxford, where Leland saw her tomb, 'a very fair flat marble, in the habit of a vowess, graven in a copper plate.' Two Seals of this lady are extant. The first closely resembles that of her Mother, having on one side her own figure holding a hawk, and on the other side the arms of Longespé in a shield, with a lion above and below; it is inscribed on both side S.

In her second Seal, the coat of Basset (wavy Or and Gules) is substituted for that of Longespe; the latter is placed in her hand, on the obverse, instead of the hawk, and is balanced by the coat of Newburgh, (checky Or and Azure, a chevron Ermine) placed over her right shoulder.

In 1191 he was granted the manor of Kirton, Lincolnshire by his brother, King Richard I. He was present at the Coronation of his brother, King John, in 1199. In 1200 he witnessed the homage of William the Lion, King of Scots to King John at Lincoln. In 1202 he went on a diplomatic mission to France.

In 1212 he and his wife, Ela, instituted suit in the king's court against Ela's kinsman, Henry de Bohun, for the entire barony of Trowbridge, Wiltshire, Henry's chief fief. The king assumed control of the honour, but allowed Earl William's agents to levy scutage from its tenants. In 1213 Earl William was joint commander of an expedition to help the Count of Flanders against France. In 1214, as Marshal of the King of England, he commanded forces which recovered nearly all of Flanders for the Count; after which he and the Counts of Flanders and Boulogne were captured at the Battle of Bouvines and thrown into prison in chains. He was released before May 1215, and returned to England. In 1215 he was present at Runnymeade on the king's side at the signing of the Magna Carta [Great Charter].

He returned his allegiance to the king before 7 March 1216/7, when his lands were restored to him. In August 1217 he was with Hubert de Burgh in the victory over the French fleet off Thanet. In 1217 he was granted the manor of Aldbourne, Wiltshire by the king. In 1220 he and his wife laid the 4th and 5th stones at the founding of the new Cathedral at Salisbury, Wiltshire. In 1222 he gave the manor of Heythrop, Gloucestershire to certain monks and brethren of the Carthusian order, and assigned part of his revenues towards the building of a monastery for them there. In 1223 he took part in the successful expedition against Llywelyn. In 1225 he went with Richard, Earl of Cornwall as a supervisory commander on a successful expedition to Gascony. He gave Bradenstoke Priory the advowson of the church of Rogerville (Seine-Inférieure), together with land and rents there and in Sandouville (Seine-Inférieure), and a virgate of land in Chitterne and one in Amesbury, Wiltshire. At an unspecified date William, with consent of Ela his wife, granted the land called "Chandewyk" to William de Nevill, which property he had by grant of Jordan de Saint Martin. SIR WILLIAM LONGESPÉE, Earl of Salisbury, died at Salisbury Castle, Wiltshire 7 March 1225/6, and was buried in Salisbury Cathedral, Wiltshire. He left a will dated Midlent 1225. Among other bequests he left 200 marks to the new building of the Salisbury Cathedral Church, plus £200 to the building of St. Mary Bentleywood, Wiltshire, together with his traveling chapel-furniture, breviary, and numerous head of cattle. In 1226 Humphrey de Bohun, Earl of Hereford, brought an action against Earl William's widow, Ela, over the castle and honour of Trowbridge, Wiltshire, including lands in Bishtopstrow, East Coulston, Manningford Bruce (in Wilsford), Newton Tony, Staverton (in Trowbridge), Trowbridge, and Wilsford, Wiltshire; the suit was settled by compromise in 1230, whereby the two parties divided the honour between them. In Jan. 1227 the king transferred Salisbury castle, together with the shrievalty of Wiltshire, to Ela during his pleasure, which she held until 1228. Further evidence of Ela's high standing in royal favour is indicated by the king's regular gifts of venison to her throughout the late 1220s, including one in Sept. 1227 to celebrate the forthcoming nuptials of her daughter, Mary. In 1227 the monks of Heythrop not liking their habitation, prevailed on Ela to remove them to Hinton, Somerset, where, in her park, she began a monastery for them, which was completed in 1232. In 1227 she granted all her land west of Bendeywood, Wiltshire to the Hospital of St. Nicholas' Hospital for the sustenance of the poor and infirm. In 1229 Countess Ela founded Lacock Abbey, Wiltshire. In April 1231 Ela secured custody of the county of Wiltshire and Salisbury Castle for the term of her life for a fine of 200 marks, the king stipulating that neither the countess or her heirs possessed any legal claim to the castle and county by hereditary right. She was co-heiress c.1232-3 to her mother, Eleanor de Vitré, by which she inherited an interest in the manor of Cowlinge, Suffolk. In Feb. 1236 her son and heir, William Longespée, guaranteed her gifts to Lacock Abbey, while she agreed to surrender all her lands, rents and rights to him on 1 Nov. following. On 25 October 1236 Ela, Countes of Salisbury, reached agreement with William Longespée, her first born son, that she may grant a moiety of the manor of Heddington, Wiltshire to Lacock Priory, which property fell to her on the death of Maud de Mandeville, Countess of Essex and Hereford. In the winter 1236-7 she resigned her custody of the county of Wiltshire. She subsequently entered her religious foundation at Lacock, where she took the veil before spring 1238. She served as abbess there from 1240 to 1257. In 1249 she gave formal license to her son, William, to depart on a crusade. In 1250, on the eve of the battle in which he was killed in Egypt, she saw a vision of him standing fully armed entering heaven, being joyfully received by attendant angels. She died 24 August 1261, and was buried in the convent choir beneath the altar at Lacock Abbey. Note: William Longespée, Earl of Salisbury has long been known to have been an illegitimate child of Henry II, King of England, allegedly by his mistress, Rosamond Clifford. As early as 1902, however, it was suspected that William Longespée's mother was connected to the Akeny family, a cadet branch of the Tony family [see Wordsworth 15th Cent. Cartulary of St. Nicholas' Hospital, Salisbury (1902): xxv, footnote 1]. New evidence has surfaced in recent years which proves conclusively that William Longespée was the son of King Henry II by another mistress, a certain Ida de Tony, afterwards wife of Roger le Bigod (died 1221), Earl of Norfolk [see C.P. 9 (1936): 586-589 (sub Norfolk); Kemp Reading Abbey Cartularies 1 (Camden 4th Ser. 31) (1986): 3711. For evidence that William Longespée was the son of Countess Ida le Bigod, see London Cartulary of Bradenstoke Priory (Wiltshire Rec. Soc. 35) (1979): 143, 188, which includes two charters in which Earl William Longespée specifically names his mother, Countess Ida. It is known from contemporary records that Countess Ida le Bigod had a younger son named Ralph le Bigod [see Thompson Libor Vita Ecclesia Dunelmenis (Surtees Soc. 136) (1923): fo. 63b]. Among the English prisoners captured at the Battle of Bouvines in 1214, there was a certain Ralph [le] Bigod, who a contemporary French record refers to as "brother" [that is, half-brother] of William Longespée, Earl of Salisbury [see Recueil des Historiens des Gaules et de la France 17 (1878): 101 (Guillelmus Armoricus: "Isti sunt Prisiones (capti in bello Bovinensi) ... Radulphus Bigot, frater Comitis Saresburiensis"); see also Malo Un Grand Feudataire, Renaud de Dammartin et la Coalition de Bouvines (1898):199, 209, which author identified Ralph le Bigod as brother of William Longespée, Earl of Salisbury]. For evidence that Countess Ida was a member of the Tony family, see Morris Bigod Earls of Norfolk (2005): 2, who cites a royal inquest dated 1275, in which jurors affirmed that Earl Roger le Bigod was given Ida de Tony in marriage by King Henry II, together with the manors of Acle, Halvergate, and South Walsharn, Norfolk [which properties were formerly held by Earl Roger's father] [see Rotuli Hundredorum 1 (1812): 504, 537]. Morris shows that Earl Roger le Bigod received these manors by writ of the king, he having held them for three quarters of a year at Michaelmas 1182 [see PR 28 Henry II, 1181-1182 (Pipe Roll Soc.) (1910): 64]. This appears to pinpoint to marriage of Ida de Tony and Earl Roger le Bigod as having occurred about Christmas 1181. As for Countess Ida's parentage, it seems certain that she was a daughter of Ralph de Tony (died 1162), of Flamstead, Hertfordshire, by his wife, Margaret (b. c.1125, living 1185), daughter of Robert of Meulan, Knt., 1st Earl of Leicester [see C.P. 7 (1929): 530, footnote e (incorrectly dates Ralph and Margaret's marriage as "after 1155" based on the misdating of a charter - correction provided by Ray Phair); C.P. 12(1) (1953): 764-765 (sub Tony); Power Norman Frontier in the 12th & Early 13th Cents. (2004): 525 (Tosny ped.)]. For evidence which supports Ida's placement as a child of Ralph de Tony, several facts may be noted. First, Countess Ida and her husband, Roger le Bigod, are known to have named children, Ralph and Margaret, presumably in honor of Ida's parents, Ralph and Margaret de Tony [see Thompson Libor Vita Ecclesia Dunelmenis (Surtees Soc. 136) (1923): fo. 63b1. Countess Ida was herself evidently named in honor of Ralph de Tony's mother, Ida of Hainault. Second, Morris notes that Ida de Tony was a royal ward at the time of her marriage to Roger le Bigod, meaning she was in the king's gift and that her father was previously a tenant in chief of the king who presumably would have died sometime between 1161 and 1182 [Morris, ibid.]. The only plausible male candidate in the Tony family who could fit to be Ida's father who was also a tenant in chief of the king is Ralph de Tony. Next, William Longespée and his descendants had a long standing association with the family of Roger de Akeny, of Garsington, Oxfordshire, which Roger was a younger brother of Ralph de Tony (died 1162) [see C.P. 8 (1932): chart foll. 464; 14 (1998): 614; Loyd Origins of Some Anglo-Norman Fams. (1951): 2; VCH Oxford 5 (1957): 138; Harper-Bill Dodnash Priory Charters (Suffolk Rec. Soc. 16) (1998): 34-37, 39-40, 72-73; Fam. Hist. 18 (1995-97): 47-64; 19 (1998): 125-129]. Lastly, Roger le Bigod and his step-son, William Longespée, both had associations with William the lion, King of Scots, which connection can be readily explained by virtue of King William's wife, Ermengarde, being sister to Constance de Beaumont, wife of Countess Ida's presumed brother, Roger de Tony [see C.P. 12(1) (1953): 760-769 (sub Tony)]. King William the Lion was likewise near related to both of Countess Ida's presumed parents, her father by a shared descent from Countess Judith, the niece of King William the Conqueror, and her mother by a shared descent from Isabel de Vermandois, Countess of Surrey. Roger le Bigod and William Longespée were both present with other English relations of William the lion at an important gathering at Lincoln in 1200, when William the lion paid homage to King John of England [see Stubbs Chronica Magistri Rogeri de Houedene 4 (Rolls Ser. 51) (1871): 141-142]. Thus, naming patterns, familial and political associations give strong evidence that Ida, wife of Earl Roger le Bigod, was a daughter of Ralph de Tony. Sandford Gen.

Mayo and Kilkea and Tirsteldermot, co. Connacht, Ireland, 2nd son. He witnessed a charter for Baldwin III, Count of Guisnes, in 1241. The same year he acknowledged he owed Richard Basset a debt of 20 marks. He married between 8 Feb. 1242/3 and 16 Dec. 1244 EMELINE DE RIDELISFORD, widow of Hugh de Lacy, 1st Earl of Ulster (died 1242), and daughter and co-heiress of Walter de Ridelisford, of Bray, Admekin (or Headford), Corofin, and Tristledermot (or Casdedermot), Ireland, by his wife, Armor. They had two daughters, Ela and Emeline. In 1243/6 he witnessed a charter of his cousin, Richard, Earl of Cornwall, to Shaftesbury Abbey. In 1247 he was pardoned a debt of £33 and a half mark by Licoria wife of David of Oxford the Jew. He presented to the church of Great Gaddesden, Hertfordshire in 1247. He took the cross in 1250. In 1251 he had a dispute with the Prior of St. Swithun's concerning lands in Hyneton. In 1255 he went to Gascony with Edward the king's son. In 1258 he was granted wardship of the land and heirs of his late brother-in-law, Walter Fitz Robert, by Edward the king's son for 3,000 marks. At some undetermined date, he was a benefactor of St. Giles Priory at Flamstead, Hertfordshire. SIR STEPHEN LONGESPÉE died testate shortly before 25 June 1260, and was buried at Lacock Priory, Wiltshire. In 1262 his widow, Emeline, conveyed one messuage, various lands, and pasture for eight cattle in Purscaule, Dorset to Juliane, Abbess of Shaftesbury. Emeline subsequently erected a chapel at Wanborough, Wiltshire in 1270, and endowed it for the maintenance of two chaplains. In 1274-5 Hugh le Mouner arraigned an assize against her touching a pond levied in Denford, Berkshire. In the same period, Agnes daughter of Walter le Clere arraigned an assize of novel disseisin against her touching a tenement in King's Sutton, Northamptonshire. Emeline, Countess of Ulster, died between 18 May 1275 and 19 July 1276. Sandford Gen. Hist. of the Kings of England (1677): 116.

Child of Stephen Longespée, Knt., by Emeline de Ridelisford: a. EMELINE LONGESPÉE, 2nd daughter, born about 1252 (aged 24 in 1276). She married (as his 2nd wife) before 24 July 1276 MAURICE FITZ MAURICE, Knt., Justiciar of Ireland, 1272-3, son and heir of Maurice Fitz Gerald, 2nd Baron of Offaly in Ireland, Justiciar of Ireland, by his wife, Juliane. He was born about 1238. They had no issue. He married (1st) shortly before 28 October 1259 (date of dispensation to remove impediment to marriage) MAUD DE PRENDERGAST [see PRENDERGAST 8], born about 1242, widow successively of David Fitz Maurice (died 1249) and Maurice de Rochford (died 1258), and daughter and coheiress of Gerald de Prendergast (died 1251), of Beauvoir (or Carrigaline) and Ballacha in Orrery, co. Cork, Ireland, by his 2nd wife, ___, daughter of Richard de Burgh, lord of Connacht, Justiciar of Ireland [see PRENDERGAST 7 for her ancestry]. By his 1st wife, Maud de Prendergast, he had two daughters, Juliane (wife of Thomas de Clare, Knt., lord of Thomond in Connacht [see BADLESMERE 8]) and Amabil. He obtained lands in Connaught by feoffment of his father. In 1259 he was granted Athlone Castle and the shrievalty of Connaught. In 1260 he succeeded in plundering the O'Donnells, but was defeated in an expedition against Conor O'Brian at Coill-Berrain in Munster. He was summoned to England in 1262. In 1264 he was ordered to secure the Irish lands of the young Earl of Gloucester. In 1264 he took the justiciar, Thebaud le Boteler (or Butler), and John Cogan prisoners. He was twice granted letters of protection to England in 1266. In 1272 or 1273 he led another expedition against Brian Ruadh O'Brien. In 1276-7 Maurice and his wife, Emeline, brought an assize of novel disseisin against Humphrey de Bohun, Earl of Hereford and Essex, and others regarding a tenement in Denford (in Kintbury), Berkshire. In 1277 he accompanied his son-in-law, Thomas de Clare, against Brian Ruadh O'Brien, King of 'Thomond; Brian was taken prisoner and beheaded. SIR MAURICE FITZ MAURICE died testate shortly before 2 Sept. 1277. In 1292 his widow, Emeline, sued Thomas Fitz Maurice for the manor of Killorglin, co. Kerry, Ireland, which she claimed as her right by the gift of Christina de Marsh who previously had enfeoffed her and Maurice her late husband; the defendant vouched to warranty Gilbert de Clare, minor son and heir of Thomas de Clare. His widow, Emeline, was a legatee in the 1294 will of her uncle, Nicholas Longespée, Bishop of Salisbury. In 1298-9 she had a suit with John de Inteberge about lands at Kilcaly, near Limerick. In 1305-6 she settled the manor of Denford (in Kintbury), Berkshire on herself, with reversion to her great niece, Maud la Zouche, then betrothed to Robert de Holand, Knt., afterwards 1st Lord Holand. In 1314 she was granted the manor of Avington, Berkshire for life by Thomas, Earl of Lancaster. She presented to the chapel of Wanborough, Wiltshire in 1316. In 1322, staying in England, she had letters appointing attorneys to represent her in Ireland for two years. She died shortly before 23 May 1331.

They presumably had one son, Nicholas (living 1294). Before 1277 Alice's lands in Little Stanmore, Middlesex were fraudulently acquired by the moneylender, Adam de Stratton. She presumably married (2nd) WILLIAM DE BARNEVILLE, of Harrow, Middlesex. They had one son, John, of Little Stanmore and Oakington (in Harrow), Middlesex (occurs 1294-1337), and one daughter, Margaret, both of whom were legatees in the 1294 will of their grandfather, Bishop Nicholas Longespée. William (husband of Alice) was also appointed one of the executors of the 1294 will of Bishop Longespée. On Adam de Stratton's disgrace in 1290, Alice presumably recovered her lands, as her son, John de Barneville, later had lands in this parish [see C.P.R. 1313-1317 (1898): 558)].

Sir Robert de Roos had children named William, Isabel, and Ida, which given names occur among descendants of the Longespée family. Further research is needed, however, to establish the identity of Mary Longespée's husband.) vii. ISABEL LONGESPÉE. She married shortly after 16 May 1226 (as his 1st wife) WILLIAM DE VESCY, Knt., of Alnwick, Northumberland, son and heir of Eustace de Vescy, Knt., of Alnwick, Northumberland, by Margaret, illegitimate daughter of William the Lion, King of Scots [see SCOTLAND 4.vi for his ancestry]. He was born about 1205 (minor in 1216). They had no issue. He had livery of his inheritance 16 May 1226. He accompanied King Henry III's expedition to Brittany in 1230. In 1232 and 1234 he was forbidden to attend tournaments at Blyth, Northampton, and Cambridge. He was appointed to escort King Alexander and Queen Joan of Scotland to the English court in 1235, and again in August 1237. In 1242 he went with the king to Gascony. At his wife, Isabel's death, she was buried at Alnwick Abbey, Northumberland. He married (2nd) before 1244 AGNES DE FERRERS, daughter of William de Ferrers, Knt., 5th Earl of Derby, by his 1st wife, Sibyl, daughter of William Marshal, Knt., 4th Earl of Pembroke (or Strigoil), hereditary Master Marshal [see FERRERS 7 for her ancestry]. Her maritagium included the manor of Stapleford, Leicestershire. They had two sons, John, Knt. [see BEAUMONT 6.vii], and William [1st Lord Vescy, Justiciar of Ireland]. His wife, Agnes, was co-heiress in 1245 to her uncle, Anselm Marshal, Earl of Pembroke. In 1245 he served in the Welsh campaign. In 1253 he had a protection, he then going with the king to Gascony. He founded the Carmelite priory at Hulne, Northumberland. SIR WILLIAM DE VESCY died in Gascony shortly before 7 October 1253, and was buried at Watton Priory, Yorkshire. In 1274-5 Ingusa de Setrington and others arraigned an assize of novel disseisin against his widow, Agnes, and others touching a tenement in Old Malton, Yorkshire.

ELA LONGSPEE, married THOMAS OF WARWICK, Knt., 6th Earl of Warwick, son and heir of Henry, Earl of Warwick, by his 1st wife, Margery, daughter of Herity d'Oilly. He was presumably of age in 1229. They had no issue. He carried the third sword at the Coronation of Queen Eleanor in 1236. He died 26 (or 27) June 1242, and was buried in St. Mary's, Warwick. In 1247 his widow, Ela, Countess of Warwick, and Simon Fitz Simon sued John de Plescy, Earl of Warwick, and his wife, Margery, in a plea of warranty. Ela married (2nd) after Nov. 1254 and before 23 March 1254/5 (as his 2nd wife) PHILIP BASSET, Knt., of Soham, Cambridgeshire, Wycombe, Buckinghamshire, Maplederwell, Hampshire, Kirdington, Oxfordshire, Woking, Surrey, Wootton Basset, Wiltshire, etc., Constable of Colchester, Corfe, Devizes, Hadleigh, Oxford, and Sherbome Castles, 1259, Justiciar of England, Keeper of the Tower of London, younger son of Alan Basset, of Wootton Basset, Wiltshire, Wycombe, Buckinghamshire, Maplederwell, Hampshire, Woking, Surrey, etc., by Aline, daughter and co-heiress Philip de Gay, of Wootton Bassett and Broadtown, Wiltshire and Northbrook, Oxfordshire. They had no issue. In the period, 1230-41, his brother, Gilbert Basset, conveyed to him land in Middleton, late of Thomas Basset their older brother. In 1233 he helped free Hubert de Burgh, Earl of Kent, from captivity in Devizes Castle in Wiltshire; in return in 1234 Hubert de Burgh gave him 176 acres of his demesne land in Soham, Cambridgeshite, with lordship over numerous tenants. In 1238-9 he was granted lands in Soham and Fordham, Cambridgeshire by Peter de Bendenges and his wife Burga. In 1242 he was appointed one of the Constables of the Host, then about to set out for Poitou. In consideration of his services there, he was granted the manor of Kersey, Suffolk -- 1243. In 1245 he was appointed ambassador to the Council of Lyons. About 1245 he obtained a license to build a chapel in Soham, Cambridgeshire and to hear service therein. In 1252 William de Wydindon demised to him land and wood of `Okregge' in West Wycombe, Buckinghamshire for a term of seven years; Philip promised to keep William in his service, providing him food and clothing as one of his own esquires and supplying him with another horse if his own died; the grant was made perpetual in 1254. He fought in Wales in 1258. Philip was heir in 1259 to his older brother, Fulk Basset, Bishop of London. In 1260 Simon, Abbot of Bury St. Edmunds, demised the manor of Stapleford Abbots, Essex to him. The same year, at the instance of his cousin, Ela, Countess of Warwick, the king granted the abbess and nuns of Lacock Abbey quittance from cheminage in all the king's forests in Wiltshire and Gloucestershire. In 1261 he had a grant of 1000 marks per annum to maintain him in the office of Justiciar. About 1261 Laurence de Sanford granted him the manor of Lecquid, Glamorgan, Wales. In 1261-2 Thomas de Awelton and Agnes his wife conveyed lands in Doddington and Northwode, Cambridgeshire to Philip and his wife, Ela. In 1262 John de Burgh and Hawise his wife leased lands in Soham, Fordharn, Landwade, Wykes, Hanney, etc., Cambridgeshire to Sir Philip Basset for a term of 16 years for the sum of 400/. in hand. In 1262 Philip leased land in Rotherwick, Hampshire from Richard de la Rugge. The same year Richard, King of the Romans, quitclaimed to him all suit of court at Wallingford, Berkshire for life. He fought on the king's side at the Battle of Lewes in 1264, where the king was taken prisoner by the barons. In 1266 Thomas de Gay, rector of the church of Wootton Basset, Wiltshire, granted Philip his free chapel at Fasterne, Wiltshire, with renunciation of all right to sell the offerings made therein; the said Philip to pay 20s. yearly to the parish church of Wootton. In 1267 the king granted him for life a deer leap at his new park below his town of Wootton Basset, Wiltshire, and another at his old park below his manor of "la Fasteme." In 1267-8 his wife, Ela, gave property in Stinkinglane, in the parish of St. Nicholas de Macellis, London to the City of London for the use of the Franciscans. At an unknown date, Richard son of Richard de la Wyz released to him all his right in a meadow with pasture for six cattle in Compton, Wiltshire. Sometime before 1271 John de Burgh granted that he pay him 20s. yearly to the custody of Dover Castle, due from the manor of Beeston, which Philip holds from him. SIR PHILIP BASSET died testate 29 October 1271, and was buried at Stanley, Wiltshire. In 1278 his widow, Ela, complained that when she sent John the reeve of Claverdon to Brandon Castle, Warwickshire with a letter for 10 marks which Thebaud de Verdun owed her as relief for the manor, Eleanor, widow of John de Verdun (step-mother of Thebaud de Verdun) and her men took away the letter and imprisoned him for one night. In 1280 Ela was summoned to show by what warrant she took the fines of the breaches of the assize of bread and ale in Maplederwell, Hampshire, and to show cause why she should not permit her villeins of Maplederwell to make suit at the king's hundred court of Basingstoke. The same year she sued Hugh de Courtenay and his wife Eleanor (Ela's step-granddaughter) for one messuage and lands in Wootton Courtney, Somerset, which she claimed to be her right by the gift of Hugh de Neville; the jury found in favor of Hugh and Eleanor. In 1289 Ela, Countess of Warwick, was summoned to answer Hugh le Despenser on a plea as to why she had committed waste in the woods which she held in dower of Hugh's inheritance in Compton Bassett and Wolfhale, Wiltshire to Hugh's disinheritance. In 1290 she granted a messuage and 1/2 virgate of land in Nateley Eastrop, a croft of eight acres in Up Nately, and a messuage and garden in Maplederwell, all in Hampshire, to John, Bishop of Winchester, for use of a chantry and maintenance of a chaplain in the chapel of Maplederwell. In 1293 Hugh le Despenser confirmed the grant of Lady Ela Longespée, late the wife of Philip Basset, to Adam de Stock and Roger de Stock his brother of lands in Wolfhale, Wiltshire which she held in dower of Hugh's inheritance. Ela, Countess of Warwick, died 9 Feb. 1297/8, and was buried in Oseney Abbey, Oxfordshire. Sandford Gen. Hist. of the Kings of England (1677): 116.

She became the second time a widow in 1271, and survived for many years after, a very wealthy lady, having no children by either husband. In 1285 she was returned as holding the manor of Hoke-Norton in Oxfordshire, in capite, by the sergeantry of carvng before our lord the King on Christmas Day, when she had for her fee the King's knife with which she cut. We find several records of her piety, particularly in Oxford and its vicinity; for she seems to have lived during her widowhood at Headington, only two miles from that city. In the year 1287 we find the Countess of Warwick visiting Lacock, on which occasion she quit-claimed to the abbey her title in the manor of Hatherop. She died on Sunday Feb. 6, 1297, and was buried at Ousney Abbey, near Oxford, where Leland saw her tomb, 'a very fair flat marble, in the habit of a vowess, graven in a copper plate.' Two Seals of this lady are extant. The first closely resembles that of her Mother, having on one side her own figure holding a hawk, and on the other side the arms of Longespé in a shield, with a lion above and below; it is inscribed on both side S. ELE LVNGESPEYE COMITISSE WARWIC. In her second Seal, the coat of Basset (wavy Or and Gules) is substituted for that of Longespe; the latter is placed in her hand, on the obverse, instead of the hawk, and is balanced by the coat of Newburgh, (checky Or and Azure, a chevron Ermine) placed over her right shoulder.

He bore the standard of St. Edmund at the Battle of Fornham in 1173. On the death of Roger's father in 1176, he and his stepmother, Gundred, appealed to the king on a dispute touching the inheritance, the countess pressing the claims of her own son. King Henry II subsequently seized the Bigod lands into his own hands. During the remainder of the reign, it seems Roger had little power, even if his succession was allowed. In the period, 1177-89, he confirmed the gift of Walter son of William de Shaldingfield his knight made to Sibton Abbey, Suffolk of 41 acres of land in Bruisyard, Suffolk. In the same period, he granted Reiner Fitz Berengar and Richard his son land in Friday Street, London. On King Richard I's accession in 1189, Roger was confirmed in the earldom of Norfolk and in the stewardship of the royal household.

He married before 1091 EDIVA (or EDEVA) DE WARENNE, daughter of William de Warenne, 1st Earl of Surrey, by Gundred, sister of Gerbod, Earl of Chester. Her maritagium included the manor of Mapledurham, Oxfordshire. They had one son, Hugh, and one daughter, Gundred (wife of Nele [or Nigel] de Mowbray). He and his father witnessed the foundation charter of Holy Trinity Caen in 1082 issued by King William the Conqueror. In 1090, he stood by King William Rufus against Duke Robert, and, on their reconciliation, his allegiance and castles in Normandy were transferred to Duke Robert. He and his mother confirmed all of his father's gifts to Bec Abbey. He accompanied Robert, Duke of Normandy, on a crusade in 1096, and was with Bohemond in the advance from Nice in Bythinia. At an unknown date, he gave Lessingham, Norfolk to Bec Abbey. GERARD DE GOURNAY was living in 1104, and is said to have died on a pilgrimage to Jerusalem. His widow, Ediva, married (2nd) DREW DE MOUCHY (living 1131), seigneur of Mouchy-le-Chatel, canton de Noailes (Oise). They had one son, Drew. Note: Gurney Rec. of the House of Gournay (): 286-289, 292-293, 776-777 [author alleges that Gerard de Gournay and his wife, Ediva, had a younger son, Walter de Gournay (living 1150), ancestor of the Gurnay family of Norfolk. Such an individual existed but he had no association in the records with the senior branch of the Gournay family. Rather, it appears that Walter was closely related to a Galiena de Gournay, born say 1120, living c. 1170, wife of Manasser de Dammartin (died 1178/9), of Mendlesham and Cotton, Suffolk, Norton Mandeville, Essex, etc. Surviving records show that Manasser de Dammartin enfeoffed Walter de Gumay with a 1/4 knight's fee in Suffolk during the Civil War between King Stephen and Empress Maud. In 1150 Walter de Gournay witnessed a charter to Missenden Abbey for Manasser and Galiena. Charter evidence proves that Galiena was the granddaughter of an unplaced William de Gumay, of Addington, Kent, whose gift to the see of Rochester she confirmed by her own undated charter. Given these facts, it is doubtful that Walter de Gournay was the son of Gerard de Gournay as alleged [see Hasted 4 (1798): 544-545; Copinger Manors of Suffolk 3 (1909): 277-278; Lewis C.

He married before 1091 EDIVA (or EDEVA) DE WARENNE, daughter of William de Warenne, 1st Earl of Surrey, by Gundred, sister of Gerbod, Earl of Chester. Her maritagium included the manor of Mapledurham, Oxfordshire. They had one son, Hugh, and one daughter, Gundred (wife of Nele [or Nigel] de Mowbray). He and his father witnessed the foundation charter of Holy Trinity Caen in 1082 issued by King William the Conqueror. In 1090, he stood by King William Rufus against Duke Robert, and, on their reconciliation, his allegiance and castles in Normandy were transferred to Duke Robert. He and his mother confirmed all of his father's gifts to Bec Abbey. He accompanied Robert, Duke of Normandy, on a crusade in 1096, and was with Bohemond in the advance from Nice in Bythinia. At an unknown date, he gave Lessingham, Norfolk to Bec Abbey. GERARD DE GOURNAY was living in 1104, and is said to have died on a pilgrimage to Jerusalem. His widow, Ediva, married (2nd) DREW DE MOUCHY (living 1131), seigneur of Mouchy-le-Chatel, canton de Noailes (Oise). They had one son, Drew. Note: Gurney Rec. of the House of Gournay (): 286-289, 292-293, 776-777 [author alleges that Gerard de Gournay and his wife, Ediva, had a younger son, Walter de Gournay (living 1150), ancestor of the Gurnay family of Norfolk. Such an individual existed but he had no association in the records with the senior branch of the Gournay family. Rather, it appears that Walter was closely related to a Galiena de Gournay, born say 1120, living c. 1170, wife of Manasser de Dammartin (died 1178/9), of Mendlesham and Cotton, Suffolk, Norton Mandeville, Essex, etc. Surviving records show that Manasser de Dammartin enfeoffed Walter de Gumay with a 1/4 knight's fee in Suffolk during the Civil War between King Stephen and Empress Maud. In 1150 Walter de Gournay witnessed a charter to Missenden Abbey for Manasser and Galiena. Charter evidence proves that Galiena was the granddaughter of an unplaced William de Gumay, of Addington, Kent, whose gift to the see of Rochester she confirmed by her own undated charter. Given these facts, it is doubtful that Walter de Gournay was the son of Gerard de Gournay as alleged [see Hasted 4 (1798): 544-545; Copinger Manors of Suffolk 3 (1909): 277-278; Lewis C.

During his minority, be was raised by King Henry I of England and his lands were administered by Drew de Mouchy his step-father. He married (1st) BEATRICE (or BEATRIX) DE VERMANDOIS, daughter of Hugh le Grand, Crépy, by Adele, daughter and heiress of Herbert IV, Count of Vermandois and Valois [see VERMANDOIS 4 for her ancestry]. They had one son, Hugh (died young). He joined Stephen, Count of Aumale, and others in 1118, in an attempt to place William Clito, son of Robert, Duke of Normandy, on the throne. He seised the castle of Plesssis and ravaged Norman terrritory. King Henry I crushed the revolt at Noyon in 1119, after which he submitted and was pardoned. He appears to have joined King Stephen at the Siege of Shrewsbury in 1138, for which he later rewarded with the manors of Wendover, Buckinghamshire and Houghton Regis, Bedfordshire. His wife, Beatrice, was living in 1144. About 1144 he and his son, Hugh, gave to the church of S. Leu for the soul of Beatrice his wife a rent at Cauvigriy. About 1144 he gave to the church of St. Leu the house of Roger the priest and his sister at Cauvigny. In the period, 1147-55, he witnessed a charter for his nephew, Roger de Mowbray. In 1147 he accompanied King Louis VII of France to the Holy Land. This crusade was unsuccessful and returned in 1149. He married (2nd) before 1162 (date of charter) MILICENT (or MELISENDE) DE COUCY, daughter of Thomas de Coucy (or de Marie), seigneur of Coucy, Marie, de la Fere and Boves, by his 2nd wife, Melisende, daughter and heiress of Guy de Crecy, Châtelain of la Ferte. They had two sons, Gerard and Hugh, and one daughter, Aidieve (wife of Nicholas de Stuteville, of Kimberley, Norfolk). During the revolt of Henry the Young King, Hugh and his son, Hugh, were captured by the rebels, who burned Gournay and extorted ransomes from its burgesses. Hugh's servants in turn plundered royal estates in Suffolk, and his manors of Bledlow and Houghton Regis were taken into royal hands in reprisal. He and his 2nd wife were benefactors of the Abbey of Bec. They founded the Abbey of Gaillefontaine in the period, 1144 64. HUGH DE GOURNAY died in 1181, said to be "very old." His wife, Milicent, survived him. Moreri le Grand Dictionnaire Historique 1(1725): 310. Du Plessis Histoire de la Ville & des Seigneurs de Coucy (1728): 31, 35, 46.

[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 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."

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."

[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 MAHAUT (or MATHILDE) OF CLERMONT, daughter of Renaud II, Count of Clermont-en-Beauvaisis, by Clemence, Countess of Dammartin, daughter of Renaud I, Count of Bar-le-Duc [see CLERMONT 2 for her ancestry]. They had three sons, Renaud [Count of Boulogne, Dammartin, and Mortain], Simon [Count of Aumale, Ponthieu, and Monstreuil], and Raoul, and four daughters, Alix (or Aleide, Adelicia) (wife of Jean II, seigneur of Trie), Agnes, Clemence (wife of Jacques de Prische, 4th son of Guillaume, Chatelain of Saint Omer), and Juliane. In 1174 either he or his father, Aubrey, as "Aubrey Count of Dammartin," witnessed a charter of Ralph Fitz Ralph Fitz Reinger and his brother, Hugh, to Rufford Abbey. About 1175, as Aubrey, Count of Dammartin, he granted Missenden Abbey the hermitage and chapel of Muswell, together with the tithe of the demesne of Piddington, Oxfordshire; this grant was made with the consent of his son and heir, Renaud. In 1177, as "Aubrey Count of Dammartin," he witnessed a charter of his brother-in-law, Raoul, Count of Clermont. Some time before 1184 he successfully claimed to have an hereditary right to Merton, Oxfordshire; he subsequently obtained a charter from King Henry II confirming the manor of Merton to himself and his son Renaud with all the rights that their ancestors had enjoyed under King Henry I. In 1183-4, as "Aubrey, Count of Dammartin," he issued a charter confirming the previous grant of Merton, Oxfordshire to the Templars, excepting the fee and tenement of Guy of Merton and his heirs, the overlordship of which Aubrey reserved to himself. Sometime before 1184 Earl Simon de Semis confirmed to Aubrey and his son, Renaud, lands in Beachampton (in Great Staughton) and Southoe, Huntingdonshire. In 1185 he and his wife, Countess Mathilde, and his son, Renaud, Count of Boulogne, issued a charter to the canons and prior of Dammartin. In 1193 he and his wife, Mathilde, witnessed a charter of their son-in-law, Jean de Trie, to the Abbey of St.-Paul. In 1194 the manor of Piddington, Oxfordshire, was described as lately belonging to the Count of Dammartin, it then being in royal hands as an escheat. In 1200 he granted the Priory of Saint-Leu d'Esserent 40 shilling Parisien of rent. In 1202 [sic] he and his wife, Mathilde, gave the chapel of their manor of Rouville to the church of Alisay. AUBREY II, Count of Dammartin-en-Goële, died at London 19 Sept. 1200, and was buried in the Abbey of Jumièges. He left a testament dated 20 [sic] Sept. 1200. His widow, Mahout, was co-heiress in 1218 to her great-nephew, Thibaut, Count of Blois and Clermont. In 1218 she quitclaimed her rights in the comté of Clermont to King Philippe Auguste.

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."

During his minority, be was raised by King Henry I of England and his lands were administered by Drew de Mouchy his step-father. He married (1st) BEATRICE (or BEATRIX) DE VERMANDOIS, daughter of Hugh le Grand, Crépy, by Adele, daughter and heiress of Herbert IV, Count of Vermandois and Valois [see VERMANDOIS 4 for her ancestry]. They had one son, Hugh (died young). He joined Stephen, Count of Aumale, and others in 1118, in an attempt to place William Clito, son of Robert, Duke of Normandy, on the throne. He seised the castle of Plesssis and ravaged Norman terrritory. King Henry I crushed the revolt at Noyon in 1119, after which he submitted and was pardoned. He appears to have joined King Stephen at the Siege of Shrewsbury in 1138, for which he later rewarded with the manors of Wendover, Buckinghamshire and Houghton Regis, Bedfordshire. His wife, Beatrice, was living in 1144. About 1144 he and his son, Hugh, gave to the church of S. Leu for the soul of Beatrice his wife a rent at Cauvigriy. About 1144 he gave to the church of St. Leu the house of Roger the priest and his sister at Cauvigny. In the period, 1147-55, he witnessed a charter for his nephew, Roger de Mowbray. In 1147 he accompanied King Louis VII of France to the Holy Land. This crusade was unsuccessful and returned in 1149. He married (2nd) before 1162 (date of charter) MILICENT (or MELISENDE) DE COUCY, daughter of Thomas de Coucy (or de Marie), seigneur of Coucy, Marie, de la Fere and Boves, by his 2nd wife, Melisende, daughter and heiress of Guy de Crecy, Châtelain of la Ferte. They had two sons, Gerard and Hugh, and one daughter, Aidieve (wife of Nicholas de Stuteville, of Kimberley, Norfolk). During the revolt of Henry the Young King, Hugh and his son, Hugh, were captured by the rebels, who burned Gournay and extorted ransomes from its burgesses. Hugh's servants in turn plundered royal estates in Suffolk, and his manors of Bledlow and Houghton Regis were taken into royal hands in reprisal. He and his 2nd wife were benefactors of the Abbey of Bec. They founded the Abbey of Gaillefontaine in the period, 1144 64. HUGH DE GOURNAY died in 1181, said to be "very old."

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.

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 one of the proctors of the English baronage at the Council of Lyons in 1245, delivering a lengthy complaint against Roman exactions.

[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.
