| 7157 | RESEARCH_NOTES: 1. “Royal Ancestry: A Study in Colonial & Medieval Families,” Douglas Richardson (2013): “ISABEL (or ELIZABETH) DE VERMANDOIS, married (1st) in early 1096 ROBERT OF MEULAN (or DE BEAUMONT), Knt.,* Count of Meulan, seigneur of Beaumont, Pont-Audemer, Brionne, and Vatteville (all in Normandy), son and heir of Roger de Beaumont, seigneur of Pont Audemer, Brionne, la Haye-Aubrée, Sahuz, Tourville, Vieilles, etc., chatelain of Beaumont-le-Roger, by Adeline (or Aline), daughter of Waleran (or Galeran) [I], Count of Meulan. He was born about 1046. They had three sons, Waleran (or Galeran) [II] [Count of Meulan, Earl of Worcester], Robert, Knt. [1st Earl of Leicester], and Hugh [said to be Earl of Bedford], and five daughters, including Adeline (wife of Hugues IV, seigneur of Montfort-sur-Risle), Aubrey (wife of Hugues II, seigneur of Châteauneuf), Maud, and Isabel (or Elizabeth). When he was very young, he accompanied William, Duke of Normandy [future King William], to England and distinguished himself at the Battle of Hastings in 1066. He subsequently received large grants of land in Warwickshire, with smaller holdings in Leicestershire, Northamptonshire, and Wiltshire. Sometime in the period, 1066-77, Robert and his father, Roger, attested a royal confirmation for St.-Etienne, Caen. As "Robert de Beaumont," he witnessed a charter of Eudes, Bishop of Bayeux [half-brother of King William the Conqueror] dated probably in 1079. In 1080 he and his father were present at the king's court in Normandy. Robert became Count of Meulan about autumn 1080, following the death of his maternal uncle, Hugues II, Count of Meulan. As "Robert, Count of Meulan," he attested a charter of King Philippe I of France dated 6 Jan. 1082 following the Christmas court of King Philippe I in 1081. He was back at the Norman ducal court on 5 Sept. 1082, where he joined his father and brother as witnesses to a suit adjudicated in the presence of King William the Conqueror. About 1088 he quarreled with Duke Robert of Normandy about the castellanship of Brionne, in consequence of the exchange of Brionne for Ivry made by his father. He was present at the ducal court in 1087, 1088, 1089, 1091, and on three further occasions during the early 1090s. In 1097, when King William Rufus invaded France, he admitted him to his castle of Meulan. He was present at the king's death in 1100. On the accession of King Henry I, he supported Henry in the general rising which followed and became his trusted counsellor. On the death of Ives de Grandmesnil on Crusade, he retained his estates, which Ives had mortgaged to him about 1102. Thereby he acquired one-quarter of the town of Leicester, the whole of which was later granted to him by the king. After obtaining the whole town of Leicester, he is said to have become Earl of Leicester, but being already Count of Meulan, he was never so styled. In 1103 he was dispatched by King Henry on a mission to Normandy. The same year he betrothed his infant daughter to Amaury, youngest son of Simon de Montfort, as part of a treaty to end conflicts amongst the "warlike marchers." In 1104 he was one of the Norman barons who adhered to King Henry on his arrival in Normandy. He was present in the king's army at the Battle of Tenchebrai in 1106. In 1110 he was besieged at Meulan by King Louis VI, who took the castle by storm. In the following year he retaliated by a raid on Paris, which he plundered. In 1112 he gave the manor of Chisenbury, Wiltshire for the kitchen of the monks of Bec Abbey. ROBERT OF MEULAN, Count of Meulan, died 5 June 1118, and was buried in the chapter-house of the Abbey of St.-Pierre, Preaux. His widow, Isabel, married (2nd) WILLIAM DE WARENNE, 2nd Earl of Surrey (usually styled Earl of Warenne), son and heir of William de Warenne, 1st Earl of Surrey, by his 1st wife, Gundred, sister of Gerbod the Fleming, Earl of Chester. They had three sons, William [3rd Earl of Surrey], Ralph, and Reynold, and two daughters, Ada and Gundred. In 1090 he was among those fighting in Normandy against Robert de Belleme who was supported by Duke Robert. He witnessed three charters of the king at Windsor in Sept. 1101. In autumn 1101 he accompanied Duke Robert to Normandy, supporting him against the king, and was deprived of his inheritance in England. In 1103, however, as a result of the duke's intercession, he was restored to the earldom of Surrey by the king. In 1106 he accompanied the king to Normandy, and commanded a division of his army at the Battle of Tinchebrai. In 1109 he was present at a council held at Nottingham. In 1110 he was with the king at Dover, becoming a surety for the performance of the treaty with Robert, Count of Flanders. In 1111 he was one of the optimates who acted in a judicial capacity in a plea in Normandy; about that time he was given the castle of Saint-Saens by the king, which had been forfeited by Elias de Saint-Saens. In 1119 he commanded a division at the Battle of Brémule. In 1131 he was present a the council at Northampton. He was one of the earls present at the death of King Henry I 1 Dec. 1135. The same month he was given the administration of the region of Rouen and the pays de Caux. He was present at the court of King Stephen at Easter 1136. William de Warenne, 2nd Earl of Surrey, died 11 May 1138, and was buried at his father's feet in the chapter-house at Lewes, Sussex. His widow, Isabel, was living c.1138. She died 13 (or 17) February, sometime before June 1147, when her son, William de Warenne, 3rd Earl of Surrey, left on crusade. (* The latest datable document that Robert attests as "Robert de Beaumont" is a charter of King William the Conqueror for Lessay dated 14 July 1080. Robert acquired the county of Meulan shortly thereafter and thenceforth always attested with his comital title [see Vaughn Anselm of Bec & Robert of Meulan (1987): 88]. There is no evidence that either Robert or his male descendants used the name "de Beaumont" after the year 1082, when Robert first occurs as Robert, Count of Meulan.)

| 7158 | RESEARCH_NOTES: 1. “Royal Ancestry: A Study in Colonial & Medieval Families,” Douglas Richardson (2013): “ISABEL (or ELIZABETH) DE VERMANDOIS, married (1st) in early 1096 ROBERT OF MEULAN (or DE BEAUMONT), Knt.,* Count of Meulan, seigneur of Beaumont, Pont-Audemer, Brionne, and Vatteville (all in Normandy), son and heir of Roger de Beaumont, seigneur of Pont Audemer, Brionne, la Haye-Aubrée, Sahuz, Tourville, Vieilles, etc., chatelain of Beaumont-le-Roger, by Adeline (or Aline), daughter of Waleran (or Galeran) [I], Count of Meulan. He was born about 1046. They had three sons, Waleran (or Galeran) [II] [Count of Meulan, Earl of Worcester], Robert, Knt. [1st Earl of Leicester], and Hugh [said to be Earl of Bedford], and five daughters, including Adeline (wife of Hugues IV, seigneur of Montfort-sur-Risle), Aubrey (wife of Hugues II, seigneur of Châteauneuf), Maud, and Isabel (or Elizabeth). When he was very young, he accompanied William, Duke of Normandy [future King William], to England and distinguished himself at the Battle of Hastings in 1066. He subsequently received large grants of land in Warwickshire, with smaller holdings in Leicestershire, Northamptonshire, and Wiltshire. Sometime in the period, 1066-77, Robert and his father, Roger, attested a royal confirmation for St.-Etienne, Caen. As "Robert de Beaumont," he witnessed a charter of Eudes, Bishop of Bayeux [half-brother of King William the Conqueror] dated probably in 1079. In 1080 he and his father were present at the king's court in Normandy. Robert became Count of Meulan about autumn 1080, following the death of his maternal uncle, Hugues II, Count of Meulan. As "Robert, Count of Meulan," he attested a charter of King Philippe I of France dated 6 Jan. 1082 following the Christmas court of King Philippe I in 1081. He was back at the Norman ducal court on 5 Sept. 1082, where he joined his father and brother as witnesses to a suit adjudicated in the presence of King William the Conqueror. About 1088 he quarreled with Duke Robert of Normandy about the castellanship of Brionne, in consequence of the exchange of Brionne for Ivry made by his father. He was present at the ducal court in 1087, 1088, 1089, 1091, and on three further occasions during the early 1090s. In 1097, when King William Rufus invaded France, he admitted him to his castle of Meulan. He was present at the king's death in 1100. On the accession of King Henry I, he supported Henry in the general rising which followed and became his trusted counsellor. On the death of Ives de Grandmesnil on Crusade, he retained his estates, which Ives had mortgaged to him about 1102. Thereby he acquired one-quarter of the town of Leicester, the whole of which was later granted to him by the king. After obtaining the whole town of Leicester, he is said to have become Earl of Leicester, but being already Count of Meulan, he was never so styled. In 1103 he was dispatched by King Henry on a mission to Normandy. The same year he betrothed his infant daughter to Amaury, youngest son of Simon de Montfort, as part of a treaty to end conflicts amongst the "warlike marchers." In 1104 he was one of the Norman barons who adhered to King Henry on his arrival in Normandy. He was present in the king's army at the Battle of Tenchebrai in 1106. In 1110 he was besieged at Meulan by King Louis VI, who took the castle by storm. In the following year he retaliated by a raid on Paris, which he plundered. In 1112 he gave the manor of Chisenbury, Wiltshire for the kitchen of the monks of Bec Abbey. ROBERT OF MEULAN, Count of Meulan, died 5 June 1118, and was buried in the chapter-house of the Abbey of St.-Pierre, Preaux. His widow, Isabel, married (2nd) WILLIAM DE WARENNE, 2nd Earl of Surrey (usually styled Earl of Warenne), son and heir of William de Warenne, 1st Earl of Surrey, by his 1st wife, Gundred, sister of Gerbod the Fleming, Earl of Chester. They had three sons, William [3rd Earl of Surrey], Ralph, and Reynold, and two daughters, Ada and Gundred. In 1090 he was among those fighting in Normandy against Robert de Belleme who was supported by Duke Robert. He witnessed three charters of the king at Windsor in Sept. 1101. In autumn 1101 he accompanied Duke Robert to Normandy, supporting him against the king, and was deprived of his inheritance in England. In 1103, however, as a result of the duke's intercession, he was restored to the earldom of Surrey by the king. In 1106 he accompanied the king to Normandy, and commanded a division of his army at the Battle of Tinchebrai. In 1109 he was present at a council held at Nottingham. In 1110 he was with the king at Dover, becoming a surety for the performance of the treaty with Robert, Count of Flanders. In 1111 he was one of the optimates who acted in a judicial capacity in a plea in Normandy; about that time he was given the castle of Saint-Saens by the king, which had been forfeited by Elias de Saint-Saens. In 1119 he commanded a division at the Battle of Brémule. In 1131 he was present a the council at Northampton. He was one of the earls present at the death of King Henry I 1 Dec. 1135. The same month he was given the administration of the region of Rouen and the pays de Caux. He was present at the court of King Stephen at Easter 1136. William de Warenne, 2nd Earl of Surrey, died 11 May 1138, and was buried at his father's feet in the chapter-house at Lewes, Sussex. His widow, Isabel, was living c.1138. She died 13 (or 17) February, sometime before June 1147, when her son, William de Warenne, 3rd Earl of Surrey, left on crusade. (* The latest datable document that Robert attests as "Robert de Beaumont" is a charter of King William the Conqueror for Lessay dated 14 July 1080. Robert acquired the county of Meulan shortly thereafter and thenceforth always attested with his comital title [see Vaughn Anselm of Bec & Robert of Meulan (1987): 88].

In 1097, when King William Rufus invaded France, he admitted him to his castle of Meulan. He was present at the king's death in 1100. On the accession of King Henry I, he supported Henry in the general rising which followed and became his trusted counsellor. On the death of Ives de Grandmesnil on Crusade, he retained his estates, which Ives had mortgaged to him about 1102. Thereby he acquired one-quarter of the town of Leicester, the whole of which was later granted to him by the king. After obtaining the whole town of Leicester, he is said to have become Earl of Leicester, but being already Count of Meulan, he was never so styled. In 1103 he was dispatched by King Henry on a mission to Normandy. The same year he betrothed his infant daughter to Amaury, youngest son of Simon de Montfort, as part of a treaty to end conflicts amongst the "warlike marchers." In 1104 he was one of the Norman barons who adhered to King Henry on his arrival in Normandy. He was present in the king's army at the Battle of Tenchebrai in 1106. In 1110 he was besieged at Meulan by King Louis VI, who took the castle by storm. In the following year he retaliated by a raid on Paris, which he plundered. In 1112 he gave the manor of Chisenbury, Wiltshire for the kitchen of the monks of Bec Abbey. ROBERT OF MEULAN, Count of Meulan, died 5 June 1118, and was buried in the chapter-house of the Abbey of St.-Pierre, Preaux. His widow, Isabel, married (2nd) WILLIAM DE WARENNE, 2nd Earl of Surrey (usually styled Earl of Warenne), son and heir of William de Warenne, 1st Earl of Surrey, by his 1st wife, Gundred, sister of Gerbod the Fleming, Earl of Chester. They had three sons, William [3rd Earl of Surrey], Ralph, and Reynold, and two daughters, Ada and Gundred. In 1090 he was among those fighting in Normandy against Robert de Belleme who was supported by Duke Robert. He witnessed three charters of the king at Windsor in Sept. 1101. In autumn 1101 he accompanied Duke Robert to Normandy, supporting him against the king, and was deprived of his inheritance in England. In 1103, however, as a result of the duke's intercession, he was restored to the earldom of Surrey by the king. In 1106 he accompanied the king to Normandy, and commanded a division of his army at the Battle of Tinchebrai. In 1109 he was present at a council held at Nottingham. In 1110 he was with the king at Dover, becoming a surety for the performance of the treaty with Robert, Count of Flanders. In 1111 he was one of the optimates who acted in a judicial capacity in a plea in Normandy; about that time he was given the castle of Saint-Saens by the king, which had been forfeited by Elias de Saint-Saens. In 1119 he commanded a division at the Battle of Brémule. In 1131 he was present a the council at Northampton. He was one of the earls present at the death of King Henry I 1 Dec. 1135. The same month he was given the administration of the region of Rouen and the pays de Caux. He was present at the court of King Stephen at Easter 1136. William de Warenne, 2nd Earl of Surrey, died 11 May 1138, and was buried at his father's feet in the chapter-house at Lewes, Sussex. His widow, Isabel, was living c.1138. She died 13 (or 17) February, sometime before June 1147, when her son, William de Warenne, 3rd Earl of Surrey, left on crusade. (* The latest datable document that Robert attests as "Robert de Beaumont" is a charter of King William the Conqueror for Lessay dated 14 July 1080. Robert acquired the county of Meulan shortly thereafter and thenceforth always attested with his comital title [see Vaughn Anselm of Bec & Robert of Meulan (1987): 88].

He was born about 1046. They had three sons, Waleran (or Galeran) [II] [Count of Meulan, Earl of Worcester], Robert, Knt. [1st Earl of Leicester], and Hugh [said to be Earl of Bedford], and five daughters, including Adeline (wife of Hugues IV, seigneur of Montfort-sur-Risle), Aubrey (wife of Hugues II, seigneur of Châteauneuf), Maud, and Isabel (or Elizabeth). When he was very young, he accompanied William, Duke of Normandy [future King William], to England and distinguished himself at the Battle of Hastings in 1066. He subsequently received large grants of land in Warwickshire, with smaller holdings in Leicestershire, Northamptonshire, and Wiltshire. Sometime in the period, 1066-77, Robert and his father, Roger, attested a royal confirmation for St.-Etienne, Caen. As "Robert de Beaumont," he witnessed a charter of Eudes, Bishop of Bayeux [half-brother of King William the Conqueror] dated probably in 1079. In 1080 he and his father were present at the king's court in Normandy. Robert became Count of Meulan about autumn 1080, following the death of his maternal uncle, Hugues II, Count of Meulan. As "Robert, Count of Meulan," he attested a charter of King Philippe I of France dated 6 Jan. 1082 following the Christmas court of King Philippe I in 1081. He was back at the Norman ducal court on 5 Sept. 1082, where he joined his father and brother as witnesses to a suit adjudicated in the presence of King William the Conqueror. About 1088 he quarreled with Duke Robert of Normandy about the castellanship of Brionne, in consequence of the exchange of Brionne for Ivry made by his father. He was present at the ducal court in 1087, 1088, 1089, 1091, and on three further occasions during the early 1090s. In 1097, when King William Rufus invaded France, he admitted him to his castle of Meulan. He was present at the king's death in 1100. On the accession of King Henry I, he supported Henry in the general rising which followed and became his trusted counsellor. On the death of Ives de Grandmesnil on Crusade, he retained his estates, which Ives had mortgaged to him about 1102. Thereby he acquired one-quarter of the town of Leicester, the whole of which was later granted to him by the king. After obtaining the whole town of Leicester, he is said to have become Earl of Leicester, but being already Count of Meulan, he was never so styled. In 1103 he was dispatched by King Henry on a mission to Normandy. The same year he betrothed his infant daughter to Amaury, youngest son of Simon de Montfort, as part of a treaty to end conflicts amongst the "warlike marchers." In 1104 he was one of the Norman barons who adhered to King Henry on his arrival in Normandy. He was present in the king's army at the Battle of Tenchebrai in 1106.

In 1112 he gave the manor of Chisenbury, Wiltshire for the kitchen of the monks of Bec Abbey. ROBERT OF MEULAN, Count of Meulan, died 5 June 1118, and was buried in the chapter-house of the Abbey of St.-Pierre, Preaux.

The same month he was given the administration of the region of Rouen and the pays de Caux. He was present at the court of King Stephen at Easter 1136.

| 7161 | RESEARCH_NOTES: 1. “Royal Ancestry: A Study in Colonial & Medieval Families,” Douglas Richardson (2013): “ISABEL (or ELIZABETH) DE VERMANDOIS, married (1st) in early 1096 ROBERT OF MEULAN (or DE BEAUMONT), Knt.,* Count of Meulan, seigneur of Beaumont, Pont-Audemer, Brionne, and Vatteville (all in Normandy), son and heir of Roger de Beaumont, seigneur of Pont Audemer, Brionne, la Haye-Aubrée, Sahuz, Tourville, Vieilles, etc., chatelain of Beaumont-le-Roger, by Adeline (or Aline), daughter of Waleran (or Galeran) [I], Count of Meulan. He was born about 1046. They had three sons, Waleran (or Galeran) [II] [Count of Meulan, Earl of Worcester], Robert, Knt. [1st Earl of Leicester], and Hugh [said to be Earl of Bedford], and five daughters, including Adeline (wife of Hugues IV, seigneur of Montfort-sur-Risle), Aubrey (wife of Hugues II, seigneur of Châteauneuf), Maud, and Isabel (or Elizabeth). When he was very young, he accompanied William, Duke of Normandy [future King William], to England and distinguished himself at the Battle of Hastings in 1066. He subsequently received large grants of land in Warwickshire, with smaller holdings in Leicestershire, Northamptonshire, and Wiltshire. Sometime in the period, 1066-77, Robert and his father, Roger, attested a royal confirmation for St.-Etienne, Caen. As "Robert de Beaumont," he witnessed a charter of Eudes, Bishop of Bayeux [half-brother of King William the Conqueror] dated probably in 1079. In 1080 he and his father were present at the king's court in Normandy. Robert became Count of Meulan about autumn 1080, following the death of his maternal uncle, Hugues II, Count of Meulan. As "Robert, Count of Meulan," he attested a charter of King Philippe I of France dated 6 Jan. 1082 following the Christmas court of King Philippe I in 1081. He was back at the Norman ducal court on 5 Sept. 1082, where he joined his father and brother as witnesses to a suit adjudicated in the presence of King William the Conqueror. About 1088 he quarreled with Duke Robert of Normandy about the castellanship of Brionne, in consequence of the exchange of Brionne for Ivry made by his father. He was present at the ducal court in 1087, 1088, 1089, 1091, and on three further occasions during the early 1090s. In 1097, when King William Rufus invaded France, he admitted him to his castle of Meulan. He was present at the king's death in 1100. On the accession of King Henry I, he supported Henry in the general rising which followed and became his trusted counsellor. On the death of Ives de Grandmesnil on Crusade, he retained his estates, which Ives had mortgaged to him about 1102. Thereby he acquired one-quarter of the town of Leicester, the whole of which was later granted to him by the king. After obtaining the whole town of Leicester, he is said to have become Earl of Leicester, but being already Count of Meulan, he was never so styled. In 1103 he was dispatched by King Henry on a mission to Normandy. The same year he betrothed his infant daughter to Amaury, youngest son of Simon de Montfort, as part of a treaty to end conflicts amongst the "warlike marchers." In 1104 he was one of the Norman barons who adhered to King Henry on his arrival in Normandy. He was present in the king's army at the Battle of Tenchebrai in 1106. In 1110 he was besieged at Meulan by King Louis VI, who took the castle by storm. In the following year he retaliated by a raid on Paris, which he plundered. In 1112 he gave the manor of Chisenbury, Wiltshire for the kitchen of the monks of Bec Abbey. ROBERT OF MEULAN, Count of Meulan, died 5 June 1118, and was buried in the chapter-house of the Abbey of St.-Pierre, Preaux. His widow, Isabel, married (2nd) WILLIAM DE WARENNE, 2nd Earl of Surrey (usually styled Earl of Warenne), son and heir of William de Warenne, 1st Earl of Surrey, by his 1st wife, Gundred, sister of Gerbod the Fleming, Earl of Chester. They had three sons, William [3rd Earl of Surrey], Ralph, and Reynold, and two daughters, Ada and Gundred. In 1090 he was among those fighting in Normandy against Robert de Belleme who was supported by Duke Robert. He witnessed three charters of the king at Windsor in Sept. 1101. In autumn 1101 he accompanied Duke Robert to Normandy, supporting him against the king, and was deprived of his inheritance in England. In 1103, however, as a result of the duke's intercession, he was restored to the earldom of Surrey by the king. In 1106 he accompanied the king to Normandy, and commanded a division of his army at the Battle of Tinchebrai. In 1109 he was present at a council held at Nottingham. In 1110 he was with the king at Dover, becoming a surety for the performance of the treaty with Robert, Count of Flanders. In 1111 he was one of the optimates who acted in a judicial capacity in a plea in Normandy; about that time he was given the castle of Saint-Saens by the king, which had been forfeited by Elias de Saint-Saens. In 1119 he commanded a division at the Battle of Brémule. In 1131 he was present a the council at Northampton. He was one of the earls present at the death of King Henry I 1 Dec. 1135. The same month he was given the administration of the region of Rouen and the pays de Caux. He was present at the court of King Stephen at Easter 1136. William de Warenne, 2nd Earl of Surrey, died 11 May 1138, and was buried at his father's feet in the chapter-house at Lewes, Sussex. His widow, Isabel, was living c.1138. She died 13 (or 17) February, sometime before June 1147, when her son, William de Warenne, 3rd Earl of Surrey, left on crusade. (* The latest datable document that Robert attests as "Robert de Beaumont" is a charter of King William the Conqueror for Lessay dated 14 July 1080. Robert acquired the county of Meulan shortly thereafter and thenceforth always attested with his comital title [see Vaughn Anselm of Bec & Robert of Meulan (1987): 88].

| 7163 | RESEARCH_NOTES: 1. “Royal Ancestry: A Study in Colonial & Medieval Families,” Douglas Richardson (2013): “ISABEL (or ELIZABETH) DE VERMANDOIS, married (1st) in early 1096 ROBERT OF MEULAN (or DE BEAUMONT), Knt.,* Count of Meulan, seigneur of Beaumont, Pont-Audemer, Brionne, and Vatteville (all in Normandy), son and heir of Roger de Beaumont, seigneur of Pont Audemer, Brionne, la Haye-Aubrée, Sahuz, Tourville, Vieilles, etc., chatelain of Beaumont-le-Roger, by Adeline (or Aline), daughter of Waleran (or Galeran) [I], Count of Meulan. He was born about 1046. They had three sons, Waleran (or Galeran) [II] [Count of Meulan, Earl of Worcester], Robert, Knt. [1st Earl of Leicester], and Hugh [said to be Earl of Bedford], and five daughters, including Adeline (wife of Hugues IV, seigneur of Montfort-sur-Risle), Aubrey (wife of Hugues II, seigneur of Châteauneuf), Maud, and Isabel (or Elizabeth). When he was very young, he accompanied William, Duke of Normandy [future King William], to England and distinguished himself at the Battle of Hastings in 1066. He subsequently received large grants of land in Warwickshire, with smaller holdings in Leicestershire, Northamptonshire, and Wiltshire. Sometime in the period, 1066-77, Robert and his father, Roger, attested a royal confirmation for St.-Etienne, Caen. As "Robert de Beaumont," he witnessed a charter of Eudes, Bishop of Bayeux [half-brother of King William the Conqueror] dated probably in 1079. In 1080 he and his father were present at the king's court in Normandy. Robert became Count of Meulan about autumn 1080, following the death of his maternal uncle, Hugues II, Count of Meulan. As "Robert, Count of Meulan," he attested a charter of King Philippe I of France dated 6 Jan. 1082 following the Christmas court of King Philippe I in 1081. He was back at the Norman ducal court on 5 Sept. 1082, where he joined his father and brother as witnesses to a suit adjudicated in the presence of King William the Conqueror. About 1088 he quarreled with Duke Robert of Normandy about the castellanship of Brionne, in consequence of the exchange of Brionne for Ivry made by his father. He was present at the ducal court in 1087, 1088, 1089, 1091, and on three further occasions during the early 1090s. In 1097, when King William Rufus invaded France, he admitted him to his castle of Meulan. He was present at the king's death in 1100. On the accession of King Henry I, he supported Henry in the general rising which followed and became his trusted counsellor. On the death of Ives de Grandmesnil on Crusade, he retained his estates, which Ives had mortgaged to him about 1102. Thereby he acquired one-quarter of the town of Leicester, the whole of which was later granted to him by the king. After obtaining the whole town of Leicester, he is said to have become Earl of Leicester, but being already Count of Meulan, he was never so styled. In 1103 he was dispatched by King Henry on a mission to Normandy. The same year he betrothed his infant daughter to Amaury, youngest son of Simon de Montfort, as part of a treaty to end conflicts amongst the "warlike marchers." In 1104 he was one of the Norman barons who adhered to King Henry on his arrival in Normandy. He was present in the king's army at the Battle of Tenchebrai in 1106. In 1110 he was besieged at Meulan by King Louis VI, who took the castle by storm. In the following year he retaliated by a raid on Paris, which he plundered. In 1112 he gave the manor of Chisenbury, Wiltshire for the kitchen of the monks of Bec Abbey. ROBERT OF MEULAN, Count of Meulan, died 5 June 1118, and was buried in the chapter-house of the Abbey of St.-Pierre, Preaux. His widow, Isabel, married (2nd) WILLIAM DE WARENNE, 2nd Earl of Surrey (usually styled Earl of Warenne), son and heir of William de Warenne, 1st Earl of Surrey, by his 1st wife, Gundred, sister of Gerbod the Fleming, Earl of Chester. They had three sons, William [3rd Earl of Surrey], Ralph, and Reynold, and two daughters, Ada and Gundred. In 1090 he was among those fighting in Normandy against Robert de Belleme who was supported by Duke Robert. He witnessed three charters of the king at Windsor in Sept. 1101. In autumn 1101 he accompanied Duke Robert to Normandy, supporting him against the king, and was deprived of his inheritance in England. In 1103, however, as a result of the duke's intercession, he was restored to the earldom of Surrey by the king. In 1106 he accompanied the king to Normandy, and commanded a division of his army at the Battle of Tinchebrai. In 1109 he was present at a council held at Nottingham. In 1110 he was with the king at Dover, becoming a surety for the performance of the treaty with Robert, Count of Flanders. In 1111 he was one of the optimates who acted in a judicial capacity in a plea in Normandy; about that time he was given the castle of Saint-Saens by the king, which had been forfeited by Elias de Saint-Saens. In 1119 he commanded a division at the Battle of Brémule. In 1131 he was present a the council at Northampton. He was one of the earls present at the death of King Henry I 1 Dec. 1135. The same month he was given the administration of the region of Rouen and the pays de Caux. He was present at the court of King Stephen at Easter 1136. William de Warenne, 2nd Earl of Surrey, died 11 May 1138, and was buried at his father's feet in the chapter-house at Lewes, Sussex. His widow, Isabel, was living c.1138. She died 13 (or 17) February, sometime before June 1147, when her son, William de Warenne, 3rd Earl of Surrey, left on crusade. (* The latest datable document that Robert attests as "Robert de Beaumont" is a charter of King William the Conqueror for Lessay dated 14 July 1080. Robert acquired the county of Meulan shortly thereafter and thenceforth always attested with his comital title [see Vaughn Anselm of Bec & Robert of Meulan (1987): 88].

| 7164 | RESEARCH_NOTES: 1. “Royal Ancestry: A Study in Colonial & Medieval Families,” Douglas Richardson (2013): “ISABEL (or ELIZABETH) DE VERMANDOIS, married (1st) in early 1096 ROBERT OF MEULAN (or DE BEAUMONT), Knt.,* Count of Meulan, seigneur of Beaumont, Pont-Audemer, Brionne, and Vatteville (all in Normandy), son and heir of Roger de Beaumont, seigneur of Pont Audemer, Brionne, la Haye-Aubrée, Sahuz, Tourville, Vieilles, etc., chatelain of Beaumont-le-Roger, by Adeline (or Aline), daughter of Waleran (or Galeran) [I], Count of Meulan. He was born about 1046. They had three sons, Waleran (or Galeran) [II] [Count of Meulan, Earl of Worcester], Robert, Knt. [1st Earl of Leicester], and Hugh [said to be Earl of Bedford], and five daughters, including Adeline (wife of Hugues IV, seigneur of Montfort-sur-Risle), Aubrey (wife of Hugues II, seigneur of Châteauneuf), Maud, and Isabel (or Elizabeth). When he was very young, he accompanied William, Duke of Normandy [future King William], to England and distinguished himself at the Battle of Hastings in 1066. He subsequently received large grants of land in Warwickshire, with smaller holdings in Leicestershire, Northamptonshire, and Wiltshire. Sometime in the period, 1066-77, Robert and his father, Roger, attested a royal confirmation for St.-Etienne, Caen. As "Robert de Beaumont," he witnessed a charter of Eudes, Bishop of Bayeux [half-brother of King William the Conqueror] dated probably in 1079. In 1080 he and his father were present at the king's court in Normandy. Robert became Count of Meulan about autumn 1080, following the death of his maternal uncle, Hugues II, Count of Meulan. As "Robert, Count of Meulan," he attested a charter of King Philippe I of France dated 6 Jan. 1082 following the Christmas court of King Philippe I in 1081. He was back at the Norman ducal court on 5 Sept. 1082, where he joined his father and brother as witnesses to a suit adjudicated in the presence of King William the Conqueror. About 1088 he quarreled with Duke Robert of Normandy about the castellanship of Brionne, in consequence of the exchange of Brionne for Ivry made by his father. He was present at the ducal court in 1087, 1088, 1089, 1091, and on three further occasions during the early 1090s. In 1097, when King William Rufus invaded France, he admitted him to his castle of Meulan. He was present at the king's death in 1100. On the accession of King Henry I, he supported Henry in the general rising which followed and became his trusted counsellor. On the death of Ives de Grandmesnil on Crusade, he retained his estates, which Ives had mortgaged to him about 1102. Thereby he acquired one-quarter of the town of Leicester, the whole of which was later granted to him by the king. After obtaining the whole town of Leicester, he is said to have become Earl of Leicester, but being already Count of Meulan, he was never so styled. In 1103 he was dispatched by King Henry on a mission to Normandy. The same year he betrothed his infant daughter to Amaury, youngest son of Simon de Montfort, as part of a treaty to end conflicts amongst the "warlike marchers." In 1104 he was one of the Norman barons who adhered to King Henry on his arrival in Normandy. He was present in the king's army at the Battle of Tenchebrai in 1106. In 1110 he was besieged at Meulan by King Louis VI, who took the castle by storm. In the following year he retaliated by a raid on Paris, which he plundered. In 1112 he gave the manor of Chisenbury, Wiltshire for the kitchen of the monks of Bec Abbey. ROBERT OF MEULAN, Count of Meulan, died 5 June 1118, and was buried in the chapter-house of the Abbey of St.-Pierre, Preaux. His widow, Isabel, married (2nd) WILLIAM DE WARENNE, 2nd Earl of Surrey (usually styled Earl of Warenne), son and heir of William de Warenne, 1st Earl of Surrey, by his 1st wife, Gundred, sister of Gerbod the Fleming, Earl of Chester. They had three sons, William [3rd Earl of Surrey], Ralph, and Reynold, and two daughters, Ada and Gundred. In 1090 he was among those fighting in Normandy against Robert de Belleme who was supported by Duke Robert. He witnessed three charters of the king at Windsor in Sept. 1101. In autumn 1101 he accompanied Duke Robert to Normandy, supporting him against the king, and was deprived of his inheritance in England. In 1103, however, as a result of the duke's intercession, he was restored to the earldom of Surrey by the king. In 1106 he accompanied the king to Normandy, and commanded a division of his army at the Battle of Tinchebrai. In 1109 he was present at a council held at Nottingham. In 1110 he was with the king at Dover, becoming a surety for the performance of the treaty with Robert, Count of Flanders. In 1111 he was one of the optimates who acted in a judicial capacity in a plea in Normandy; about that time he was given the castle of Saint-Saens by the king, which had been forfeited by Elias de Saint-Saens. In 1119 he commanded a division at the Battle of Brémule. In 1131 he was present a the council at Northampton. He was one of the earls present at the death of King Henry I 1 Dec. 1135. The same month he was given the administration of the region of Rouen and the pays de Caux. He was present at the court of King Stephen at Easter 1136. William de Warenne, 2nd Earl of Surrey, died 11 May 1138, and was buried at his father's feet in the chapter-house at Lewes, Sussex. His widow, Isabel, was living c.1138. She died 13 (or 17) February, sometime before June 1147, when her son, William de Warenne, 3rd Earl of Surrey, left on crusade. (* The latest datable document that Robert attests as "Robert de Beaumont" is a charter of King William the Conqueror for Lessay dated 14 July 1080. Robert acquired the county of Meulan shortly thereafter and thenceforth always attested with his comital title [see Vaughn Anselm of Bec & Robert of Meulan (1987): 88].

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

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

In the period, 1199-1226, Richard de Pyro issued letters patent in favor of William Briwerre, by which the said Richard made oath that he would confirm the charter of the land of Chedesie [Chedzoy], Somerset made by William de Pyro, his father, to the said William Briwerre.

In 1199 he was granted the manor of Bridgwater, Somerset by Fulk Paynell as part of an exchange, which property became his chief seat. In 1199 Baldwin Giffard and Jordan d'Abernon sued out a writ of mort d'ancestor against him for the half vill of Lynton and the vill of Forston, Devon. Sometime in the period, 1199-1226, Walter Croc, son of Walter Croc, granted him in fee and inheritance, his moiety of the lands which he had inherited from his uncle, Walter Bruton. In the same period, Jervase Juas, son of Bretell Juas, granted him all his land of Colentona, together with the advowson of the church. In the period, 1199-1226, Fulk Paynell, of Bampton, addressed the Prior and Chapter of the Hospital of England, declaring that by his charter he had confirmed to William Briwerre his manor of Renham, and commanding the Chapter to answer thenceforth to the said William the yearly rent of 101., which used to be paid to the said Fulk. In the period, 1199-1226, Richard de Pyro issued letters patent in favor of William Briwerre, by which the said Richard made oath that he would confirm the charter of the land of Chedesie [Chedzoy], Somerset made by William de Pyro, his father, to the said William Briwerre.

The same year he was granted a weekly market and yearly fair at Bridgwater, SomerSer. In 1203 the king granted him 1/2 fee in Bakewell, Derbyshire, and the following year increased the grant by the gift of the other 1/2 fee there. In 1204 the king made several other grants to him, including the barony of Horsley, Derbyshire (except for the castle of Horsley), the honour of Lavendon, Buckinghamshire, and the manors of Chesterfield, Derbyshire, Axminster, Devon, and Sneinton, Nottinghamshire. In 1209 he was appointed to negotiate with the pope's legates at Dover. In 1211 he was numbered by Roger of Wendover among King John's "evil counselors." He signed the treaty made by King John with the Count of Boulogne in May 1212. He was granted the manor of Chedzoy, Somerset in 1215, following the rebellion of William de Montagu; between 1219 and 1226 he and Alan Basset, guardian of the heir of William de Montagu, disputed possession of Chedzoy. During the minority of King Henry III, he played an important role in the revitalization of royal finances following the chaos created by the civil war. He presented to the churches of Stoke Bruerne, Northamptonshire, 1217 and 1221, and Blisworth, Northamptonshire, 1226. In 1217 he gave a gold chalice to Worcester Cathedral for its rededication. He also sent two silver chalices to Premontre in France, and founded the Hospital of St. John at Bridgwater, Somerset for thirteen poor people besides religious and strangers. He is also said to have founded the Benedictine nunnery of Polsloe, Devon. In 1218 he was involved in a dispute with Peter, Bishop of Winchester and Walter, Prior and the convent of St. Swithun's regarding customs and demands claimed by William Briwerre from the men of the bishop and prior of Winchester in the forest of William's bailiwick and in the hundred of Somborne.

They had one son, Baldwin, and two daughters, Mary and Joan. Sometime before 1188 he granted land and a house in Yarmouth, Hampshire to William Maskerel to make a hospital. He was heir in 1193 to his nephew, Richard de Reviers, 4th Earl of Devon. In the period, c.1193-1208, he confirmed earlier gifts of the advowsons of the churches of llsington, Stokeinteignhead, and Ugborough, Devon to Plympton Priory. He also either gave or confirmed to Plympton Priory the chapel of St. Mary in his castle at Plympton, Devon. In 1194 King Richard I granted him the tertius denarius of Devon as his father Baldwin and predecessor Richard had held it. He attended the second coronation of King Richard I in 1194, where he was one of four nobles who supported the silken canopy over the king. His wife, Mabel, was living 1 May 1204. In 1206 he sued Robert, Prior of Plympton regarding the advowson of the church of Exminster, Devon. WILLIAM DE VERNON, 5th Earl of Devon, died 10 Sept. 1217.

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

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

He married about 1165 MAUD OF CORNWALL, daughter of Reynold Fitz Roy, Earl of Cornwall (illegitimate son of King Henry I), by Mabel, daughter of William Fitz Richard [see ENGLAND 2.i for her ancestry]. They had three sons, Waleran (or Galeran), Peter [Dean of Wimborne], and Henry, and two daughters, Mabel and Jeanne (wife of Guy IV, seigneur of La Roche Guyon). In 1173 he adhered to the young King Henry in his revolt against Henry II, but was reconciled to the king. Holding lands in both France and Normandy, the conflict between Philip Augustus and the English kings placed him in a difficult position, and eventually brought about his ruin. In 1188 when Philip took Vedôme, he captured 62 knights sent by the Count of Meulan to assist the defence. In 1191 he was excommunicated for taking action against William de Longchamp, Bishop of Ely. In 1202 he confirmed the charter of his sister, Isabel de Mayenne, to the monks of Savigny. In 1202 he revolted against King Philippe Auguste of France, and suffered the confiscation of his county of Meulan in consequence. Conversely, he had incurred King John's malevolentia before 2 April 1203, when the abbot of Saint-Taurin d'Evreux acted as an intermediary to reconcile him with the king of England. In a vain attempt to save his position, he handed over all of his estates 1 May 1204 to his daughter, Mabel, and her husband, William de Vernon, Earl of Devon. John, however, seized his English estates, and Philippe those in France and Normandy. ROBERT, deposed Count of Meulan, was living 14 November 1207; he died 16 August, about 1212. His widow, Maud, was living 25 October 1212; she reportedly died 1220-1. Brooke Discoverie of Certaine Errours (1724): 75-76.

In 1199 Baldwin Giffard and Jordan d'Abernon sued out a writ of mort d'ancestor against him for the half vill of Lynton and the vill of Forston, Devon. Sometime in the period, 1199-1226, Walter Croc, son of Walter Croc, granted him in fee and inheritance, his moiety of the lands which he had inherited from his uncle, Walter Bruton. In the same period, Jervase Juas, son of Bretell Juas, granted him all his land of Colentona, together with the advowson of the church. In the period, 1199-1226, Fulk Paynell, of Bampton, addressed the Prior and Chapter of the Hospital of England, declaring that by his charter he had confirmed to William Briwerre his manor of Renham, and commanding the Chapter to answer thenceforth to the said William the yearly rent of 101., which used to be paid to the said Fulk. In the period, 1199-1226, Richard de Pyro issued letters patent in favor of William Briwerre, by which the said Richard made oath that he would confirm the charter of the land of Chedesie [Chedzoy], Somerset made by William de Pyro, his father, to the said William Briwerre.

In 1209 he was appointed to negotiate with the pope's legates at Dover. In 1211 he was numbered by Roger of Wendover among King John's "evil counselors." He signed the treaty made by King John with the Count of Boulogne in May 1212. He was granted the manor of Chedzoy, Somerset in 1215, following the rebellion of William de Montagu; between 1219 and 1226 he and Alan Basset, guardian of the heir of William de Montagu, disputed possession of Chedzoy. During the minority of King Henry III, he played an important role in the revitalization of royal finances following the chaos created by the civil war. He presented to the churches of Stoke Bruerne, Northamptonshire, 1217 and 1221, and Blisworth, Northamptonshire, 1226. In 1217 he gave a gold chalice to Worcester Cathedral for its rededication.

They had one son, Baldwin, and two daughters, Mary and Joan. Sometime before 1188 he granted land and a house in Yarmouth, Hampshire to William Maskerel to make a hospital. He was heir in 1193 to his nephew, Richard de Reviers, 4th Earl of Devon. In the period, c.1193-1208, he confirmed earlier gifts of the advowsons of the churches of llsington, Stokeinteignhead, and Ugborough, Devon to Plympton Priory. He also either gave or confirmed to Plympton Priory the chapel of St. Mary in his castle at Plympton, Devon. In 1194 King Richard I granted him the tertius denarius of Devon as his father Baldwin and predecessor Richard had held it. He attended the second coronation of King Richard I in 1194, where he was one of four nobles who supported the silken canopy over the king. His wife, Mabel, was living 1 May 1204. In 1206 he sued Robert, Prior of Plympton regarding the advowson of the church of Exminster, Devon. WILLIAM DE VERNON, 5th Earl of Devon, died 10 Sept. 1217.

JOAN DE VERNON, married WILLIAM BRIWERRE, Knt., of Horsley, Derbyshire, Odcombe, Somerset, etc. [see BRIWERRE 3.ii].” 2. “Royal Ancestry: A Study in Colonial & Medieval Families,” Douglas Richardson (2013): “ROBERT DE COURTENAY, Knt., of Okehampton, Kenn, Musbury, and Sampford Courtenay, Devon, Sutton Courtenay, Berkshire, Waddesdon, Buckinghamshire, lwerne, Dorset, etc., Sheriff of Devonshire, 1215, 1218, Justice for Berkshire and Wiltshire, 1235, son and heir. He was heir in 1209 to his uncle, Robert de Courtenay. He married in 1210-11 (grant of her marriage) MARY DE VERNON, widow of Peter de Preaux, Knt.,* of Alton, Hampshire, Sudbury (in West Ham), Essex, etc., lord of the Channel Islands, Constable of Rouen (living 1209), and daughter of William de Vernon, Knt., 5th Earl of Devon, by Mabel, daughter of Robert II, Count of Meulan [see VERMANDOIS 8 for her ancestry]. Her maritagium included lands in Crewkerne, Somerset, with the foreign hundred and the chace there. They had three sons, John, Knt., William, Knt., and Robert [Dean of Auckland], and two daughters, Egeline and Hawise. In 1209 he paid a fine to the king of 400 marks and two great horses to have seisin of the manor of Sutton, Berkshire. In 1211 he owed 1,200 marks to have the honour of Oakhampton, Devon, which had been in the king's hands. In 1217 he was ordered by the king to release Exeter Castle and the stannaries and coinage of Devon to the queen mother. In 1214 he sued Roger Chike and two others regarding lands in Sutton, Berkshire. In April 1218 he offered 5 marks to have a jury concerning the hundred of Redlane which he said was his and pertains to his manor of Iweme, which hundred, and the hundred of Gillingham, were withdrawn from him and his ancestors. In July 1218 the king committed custody of the manor of Sutton, Berkshire to John of Wiggonholt for as long as it pleases the king, so that he answer for the issues of the same manor to Stephen de Croy, merchant of Amiens, for the debt which Robert de Courtenay owed him. In 1219 the king ordered the Sheriff of Devon that he cause Robert de Courtenay to have full seisin of all lands and appurtenances in Devonshire formerly of Hawise de Courtenay, his mother, which fell to the said Robert by inheritance. In 1220 he was granted a two day fair at his manor of Okehampton, Devon. In 1220 John de Saint Helen sued him regarding half a hide of land in Sutton, Berkshire. The same year Maud de Courtenay (his aunt and step-grandmother) sued him regarding the manors of Oakhampton, Chulmleigh, Kenn, and Musbury, and Sampford, Devon and Hemington, Somerset, which she claimed as her right. In 1224 he made fine with the king to render £30 to him annually at the Exchequer of the £190 8s. 7d. due from him to the king; he was allowed such costs he incurred, by order of the king and the same justiciar, to fill a breach in the wall of Exeter castle. In 1227 the king committed the manor of Sedborough (in Parkham), Devon with its appurtenances to his wife, Mary. In 1230 he was overseas in the service of the king. In the period, 1230-2, he settled a long standing dispute with Abingdon Abbey regarding digging turves from the manor of Culham for the repair of Sutton mill, Berkshire. SIR ROBERT DE COURTENAY died at Iweme, Dorset about 27 July 1242, and was buried at Ford Abbey, Dorset. His widow, Mary, was living 15 July 1250.

They had no issue. He accompanied King Richard I on crusade in 1190. He distinguished himself at the Siege of Acre in 1192. In the period, 1194-9, he served King Richard I throughout his wars against Philip II of France. In 1203 he was in charge of the escheats of Normandy and the Jews, except for the Jews of Rouen and Caen. The same year he was granted all the land which Peter de Meulan (his Wife's uncle) held at Sens, Normandy. In 1204, in agreement with the leading men of the city, he surrendered Rouen to King Philippe Auguste of France. He was living in 1209.] Brooke Discoverie of Certaine Errours (1724): 75-76.

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

In 1234, before his father's death, he fined to have the bailiwick of the King's Forest in Oxfordshire, Northamptonshire, Buckinghamshire, and Huntingdonshire for life; after his father's death, he did homage 21 July 1234. He was appointed Chief Forester and Justice of the whole of the King's Forest through England 21 October 1235. Sometime in the period, 1234-46, he confirmed the grants of his father and ancestors to the monks of Stogursey. In 1240 he sailed with Richard, Earl of Cornwall, for Palestine. After his return to England, he was so rapacious and oppressive in the execution of his office as Forester that he escaped prison only by payment of a very heavy fine. He retired in disgrace to Wethersfield, Essex. SIR JOHN DE NEVILLE died at Wethersfield, Essex shortly before 8 June 1246, and was buried at Waltham Abbey, Essex.

Sometime in the period, 1199-1226, Walter Croc, son of Walter Croc, granted him in fee and inheritance, his moiety of the lands which he had inherited from his uncle, Walter Bruton. In the same period, Jervase Juas, son of Bretell Juas, granted him all his land of Colentona, together with the advowson of the church. In the period, 1199-1226, Fulk Paynell, of Bampton, addressed the Prior and Chapter of the Hospital of England, declaring that by his charter he had confirmed to William Briwerre his manor of Renham, and commanding the Chapter to answer thenceforth to the said William the yearly rent of 101., which used to be paid to the said Fulk. In the period, 1199-1226, Richard de Pyro issued letters patent in favor of William Briwerre, by which the said Richard made oath that he would confirm the charter of the land of Chedesie [Chedzoy], Somerset made by William de Pyro, his father, to the said William Briwerre.

In 1203 the king granted him 1/2 fee in Bakewell, Derbyshire, and the following year increased the grant by the gift of the other 1/2 fee there. In 1204 the king made several other grants to him, including the barony of Horsley, Derbyshire (except for the castle of Horsley), the honour of Lavendon, Buckinghamshire, and the manors of Chesterfield, Derbyshire, Axminster, Devon, and Sneinton, Nottinghamshire. In 1209 he was appointed to negotiate with the pope's legates at Dover. In 1211 he was numbered by Roger of Wendover among King John's "evil counselors."

He was granted the manor of Chedzoy, Somerset in 1215, following the rebellion of William de Montagu; between 1219 and 1226 he and Alan Basset, guardian of the heir of William de Montagu, disputed possession of Chedzoy. During the minority of King Henry III, he played an important role in the revitalization of royal finances following the chaos created by the civil war. He presented to the churches of Stoke Bruerne, Northamptonshire, 1217 and 1221, and Blisworth, Northamptonshire, 1226. In 1217 he gave a gold chalice to Worcester Cathedral for its rededication.

| 7172 | RESEARCH_NOTES: 1. “Royal Ancestry: A Study in Colonial & Medieval Families,” Douglas Richardson (2013): “MAUD OF MEULAN, married GUILLAUME (or WILLIAM) LOVEL, seigneur of Ivry in Normandy, younger son of Ascelin Goel, seigneur of Ivry, by Isabel, illegitimate daughter of Guillaume de Bréteuil. They had three sons, Robert, Waleran (seigneur of Ivry), and William, and two daughters, Elizabeth and Helisant. He joined the rebellion of his brother-in-law, Waleran, Count of Meulan, in 1123. He witnessed a charter of his father, Ascelin Goel, to the Abbey of Saint-Martin of Pontoise c. 1116. He was heir in or before 1123 to his brother, Robert Goel. He took part in the unsuccessful attempt to relieve the castle of Vatteville in 1124. Shortly afterwards he escaped from the Battle of Bourgthéroulde, where the rebels were defeated. Later in the same year he made his peace with the king, and thereafter received considerable grants from the king, including a rent of 100s. out of Lovel Soke, near Beccles, Suffolk. A writ of Geoffrey, Duke of Normandy, is addressed to him in 1144-50. He witnessed a charter at Rouen in 1150-51. In 1153 his lands in Normandy and those of his brother, Roger le Bègue, were overrun and laid waste by Simon de Montfort, Count of Evreux. Sometime before 1162, he and his wife, Maud, gave the abbey of Haute-Bruyère three modii of meal from the mills of his castle of Ivry. At an unknown date, he made a gift to the church of Ste.-Marie of Gournay-sur-Marne for the repose of his soul and that of his wife, Maud, and of his son, Robert. GUILLAUME (or WILLIAM) LOVEL was living in 1166 and dead in 1170. His widow, Maud, is probably the Maud d'Ivry who restored to the Abbey of Ivry tithes which she had withheld. She was living in 1189.

He was born about 1046. They had three sons, Waleran (or Galeran) [II] [Count of Meulan, Earl of Worcester], Robert, Knt. [1st Earl of Leicester], and Hugh [said to be Earl of Bedford], and five daughters, including Adeline (wife of Hugues IV, seigneur of Montfort-sur-Risle), Aubrey (wife of Hugues II, seigneur of Châteauneuf), Maud, and Isabel (or Elizabeth). When he was very young, he accompanied William, Duke of Normandy [future King William], to England and distinguished himself at the Battle of Hastings in 1066. He subsequently received large grants of land in Warwickshire, with smaller holdings in Leicestershire, Northamptonshire, and Wiltshire. Sometime in the period, 1066-77, Robert and his father, Roger, attested a royal confirmation for St.-Etienne, Caen. As "Robert de Beaumont," he witnessed a charter of Eudes, Bishop of Bayeux [half-brother of King William the Conqueror] dated probably in 1079. In 1080 he and his father were present at the king's court in Normandy. Robert became Count of Meulan about autumn 1080, following the death of his maternal uncle, Hugues II, Count of Meulan. As "Robert, Count of Meulan," he attested a charter of King Philippe I of France dated 6 Jan. 1082 following the Christmas court of King Philippe I in 1081. He was back at the Norman ducal court on 5 Sept. 1082, where he joined his father and brother as witnesses to a suit adjudicated in the presence of King William the Conqueror. About 1088 he quarreled with Duke Robert of Normandy about the castellanship of Brionne, in consequence of the exchange of Brionne for Ivry made by his father. He was present at the ducal court in 1087, 1088, 1089, 1091, and on three further occasions during the early 1090s. In 1097, when King William Rufus invaded France, he admitted him to his castle of Meulan. He was present at the king's death in 1100. On the accession of King Henry I, he supported Henry in the general rising which followed and became his trusted counsellor. On the death of Ives de Grandmesnil on Crusade, he retained his estates, which Ives had mortgaged to him about 1102. Thereby he acquired one-quarter of the town of Leicester, the whole of which was later granted to him by the king. After obtaining the whole town of Leicester, he is said to have become Earl of Leicester, but being already Count of Meulan, he was never so styled. In 1103 he was dispatched by King Henry on a mission to Normandy. The same year he betrothed his infant daughter to Amaury, youngest son of Simon de Montfort, as part of a treaty to end conflicts amongst the "warlike marchers." In 1104 he was one of the Norman barons who adhered to King Henry on his arrival in Normandy. He was present in the king's army at the Battle of Tenchebrai in 1106. In 1110 he was besieged at Meulan by King Louis VI, who took the castle by storm. In the following year he retaliated by a raid on Paris, which he plundered. In 1112 he gave the manor of Chisenbury, Wiltshire for the kitchen of the monks of Bec Abbey. ROBERT OF MEULAN, Count of Meulan, died 5 June 1118, and was buried in the chapter-house of the Abbey of St.-Pierre, Preaux. His widow, Isabel, married (2nd) WILLIAM DE WARENNE, 2nd Earl of Surrey (usually styled Earl of Warenne), son and heir of William de Warenne, 1st Earl of Surrey, by his 1st wife, Gundred, sister of Gerbod the Fleming, Earl of Chester. They had three sons, William [3rd Earl of Surrey], Ralph, and Reynold, and two daughters, Ada and Gundred. In 1090 he was among those fighting in Normandy against Robert de Belleme who was supported by Duke Robert. He witnessed three charters of the king at Windsor in Sept. 1101. In autumn 1101 he accompanied Duke Robert to Normandy, supporting him against the king, and was deprived of his inheritance in England. In 1103, however, as a result of the duke's intercession, he was restored to the earldom of Surrey by the king. In 1106 he accompanied the king to Normandy, and commanded a division of his army at the Battle of Tinchebrai. In 1109 he was present at a council held at Nottingham. In 1110 he was with the king at Dover, becoming a surety for the performance of the treaty with Robert, Count of Flanders. In 1111 he was one of the optimates who acted in a judicial capacity in a plea in Normandy; about that time he was given the castle of Saint-Saens by the king, which had been forfeited by Elias de Saint-Saens. In 1119 he commanded a division at the Battle of Brémule. In 1131 he was present a the council at Northampton. He was one of the earls present at the death of King Henry I 1 Dec. 1135. The same month he was given the administration of the region of Rouen and the pays de Caux. He was present at the court of King Stephen at Easter 1136. William de Warenne, 2nd Earl of Surrey, died 11 May 1138, and was buried at his father's feet in the chapter-house at Lewes, Sussex. His widow, Isabel, was living c.1138.

| 7173 | RESEARCH_NOTES: 1. “Royal Ancestry: A Study in Colonial & Medieval Families,” Douglas Richardson (2013): “MAUD OF MEULAN, married GUILLAUME (or WILLIAM) LOVEL, seigneur of Ivry in Normandy, younger son of Ascelin Goel, seigneur of Ivry, by Isabel, illegitimate daughter of Guillaume de Bréteuil. They had three sons, Robert, Waleran (seigneur of Ivry), and William, and two daughters, Elizabeth and Helisant. He joined the rebellion of his brother-in-law, Waleran, Count of Meulan, in 1123. He witnessed a charter of his father, Ascelin Goel, to the Abbey of Saint-Martin of Pontoise c. 1116. He was heir in or before 1123 to his brother, Robert Goel. He took part in the unsuccessful attempt to relieve the castle of Vatteville in 1124. Shortly afterwards he escaped from the Battle of Bourgthéroulde, where the rebels were defeated. Later in the same year he made his peace with the king, and thereafter received considerable grants from the king, including a rent of 100s. out of Lovel Soke, near Beccles, Suffolk. A writ of Geoffrey, Duke of Normandy, is addressed to him in 1144-50. He witnessed a charter at Rouen in 1150-51. In 1153 his lands in Normandy and those of his brother, Roger le Bègue, were overrun and laid waste by Simon de Montfort, Count of Evreux. Sometime before 1162, he and his wife, Maud, gave the abbey of Haute-Bruyère three modii of meal from the mills of his castle of Ivry. At an unknown date, he made a gift to the church of Ste.-Marie of Gournay-sur-Marne for the repose of his soul and that of his wife, Maud, and of his son, Robert. GUILLAUME (or WILLIAM) LOVEL was living in 1166 and dead in 1170. His widow, Maud, is probably the Maud d'Ivry who restored to the Abbey of Ivry tithes which she had withheld. She was living in 1189.

He was born about 1046. They had three sons, Waleran (or Galeran) [II] [Count of Meulan, Earl of Worcester], Robert, Knt. [1st Earl of Leicester], and Hugh [said to be Earl of Bedford], and five daughters, including Adeline (wife of Hugues IV, seigneur of Montfort-sur-Risle), Aubrey (wife of Hugues II, seigneur of Châteauneuf), Maud, and Isabel (or Elizabeth). When he was very young, he accompanied William, Duke of Normandy [future King William], to England and distinguished himself at the Battle of Hastings in 1066. He subsequently received large grants of land in Warwickshire, with smaller holdings in Leicestershire, Northamptonshire, and Wiltshire. Sometime in the period, 1066-77, Robert and his father, Roger, attested a royal confirmation for St.-Etienne, Caen. As "Robert de Beaumont," he witnessed a charter of Eudes, Bishop of Bayeux [half-brother of King William the Conqueror] dated probably in 1079. In 1080 he and his father were present at the king's court in Normandy. Robert became Count of Meulan about autumn 1080, following the death of his maternal uncle, Hugues II, Count of Meulan. As "Robert, Count of Meulan," he attested a charter of King Philippe I of France dated 6 Jan. 1082 following the Christmas court of King Philippe I in 1081. He was back at the Norman ducal court on 5 Sept. 1082, where he joined his father and brother as witnesses to a suit adjudicated in the presence of King William the Conqueror. About 1088 he quarreled with Duke Robert of Normandy about the castellanship of Brionne, in consequence of the exchange of Brionne for Ivry made by his father. He was present at the ducal court in 1087, 1088, 1089, 1091, and on three further occasions during the early 1090s.

He married about 1165 MAUD OF CORNWALL, daughter of Reynold Fitz Roy, Earl of Cornwall (illegitimate son of King Henry I), by Mabel, daughter of William Fitz Richard [see ENGLAND 2.i for her ancestry]. They had three sons, Waleran (or Galeran), Peter [Dean of Wimborne], and Henry, and two daughters, Mabel and Jeanne (wife of Guy IV, seigneur of La Roche Guyon). In 1173 he adhered to the young King Henry in his revolt against Henry II, but was reconciled to the king. Holding lands in both France and Normandy, the conflict between Philip Augustus and the English kings placed him in a difficult position, and eventually brought about his ruin. In 1188 when Philip took Vedôme, he captured 62 knights sent by the Count of Meulan to assist the defence. In 1191 he was excommunicated for taking action against William de Longchamp, Bishop of Ely. In 1202 he confirmed the charter of his sister, Isabel de Mayenne, to the monks of Savigny. In 1202 he revolted against King Philippe Auguste of France, and suffered the confiscation of his county of Meulan in consequence. Conversely, he had incurred King John's malevolentia before 2 April 1203, when the abbot of Saint-Taurin d'Evreux acted as an intermediary to reconcile him with the king of England. In a vain attempt to save his position, he handed over all of his estates 1 May 1204 to his daughter, Mabel, and her husband, William de Vernon, Earl of Devon. John, however, seized his English estates, and Philippe those in France and Normandy. ROBERT, deposed Count of Meulan, was living 14 November 1207; he died 16 August, about 1212.

He married about 1165 MAUD OF CORNWALL, daughter of Reynold Fitz Roy, Earl of Cornwall (illegitimate son of King Henry I), by Mabel, daughter of William Fitz Richard [see ENGLAND 2.i for her ancestry]. They had three sons, Waleran (or Galeran), Peter [Dean of Wimborne], and Henry, and two daughters, Mabel and Jeanne (wife of Guy IV, seigneur of La Roche Guyon). In 1173 he adhered to the young King Henry in his revolt against Henry II, but was reconciled to the king. Holding lands in both France and Normandy, the conflict between Philip Augustus and the English kings placed him in a difficult position, and eventually brought about his ruin. In 1188 when Philip took Vedôme, he captured 62 knights sent by the Count of Meulan to assist the defence. In 1191 he was excommunicated for taking action against William de Longchamp, Bishop of Ely. In 1202 he confirmed the charter of his sister, Isabel de Mayenne, to the monks of Savigny. In 1202 he revolted against King Philippe Auguste of France, and suffered the confiscation of his county of Meulan in consequence. Conversely, he had incurred King John's malevolentia before 2 April 1203, when the abbot of Saint-Taurin d'Evreux acted as an intermediary to reconcile him with the king of England. In a vain attempt to save his position, he handed over all of his estates 1 May 1204 to his daughter, Mabel, and her husband, William de Vernon, Earl of Devon. John, however, seized his English estates, and Philippe those in France and Normandy. ROBERT, deposed Count of Meulan, was living 14 November 1207; he died 16 August, about 1212.

He married about 1165 MAUD OF CORNWALL, daughter of Reynold Fitz Roy, Earl of Cornwall (illegitimate son of King Henry I), by Mabel, daughter of William Fitz Richard [see ENGLAND 2.i for her ancestry]. They had three sons, Waleran (or Galeran), Peter [Dean of Wimborne], and Henry, and two daughters, Mabel and Jeanne (wife of Guy IV, seigneur of La Roche Guyon). In 1173 he adhered to the young King Henry in his revolt against Henry II, but was reconciled to the king. Holding lands in both France and Normandy, the conflict between Philip Augustus and the English kings placed him in a difficult position, and eventually brought about his ruin. In 1188 when Philip took Vedôme, he captured 62 knights sent by the Count of Meulan to assist the defence. In 1191 he was excommunicated for taking action against William de Longchamp, Bishop of Ely. In 1202 he confirmed the charter of his sister, Isabel de Mayenne, to the monks of Savigny. In 1202 he revolted against King Philippe Auguste of France, and suffered the confiscation of his county of Meulan in consequence. Conversely, he had incurred King John's malevolentia before 2 April 1203, when the abbot of Saint-Taurin d'Evreux acted as an intermediary to reconcile him with the king of England. In a vain attempt to save his position, he handed over all of his estates 1 May 1204 to his daughter, Mabel, and her husband, William de Vernon, Earl of Devon. John, however, seized his English estates, and Philippe those in France and Normandy. ROBERT, deposed Count of Meulan, was living 14 November 1207; he died 16 August, about 1212. His widow, Maud, was living 25 October 1212; she reportedly died 1220-1. Brooke Discoverie of Certaine Errours (1724): 75-76.

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

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

He married about 1165 MAUD OF CORNWALL, daughter of Reynold Fitz Roy, Earl of Cornwall (illegitimate son of King Henry I), by Mabel, daughter of William Fitz Richard [see ENGLAND 2.i for her ancestry]. They had three sons, Waleran (or Galeran), Peter [Dean of Wimborne], and Henry, and two daughters, Mabel and Jeanne (wife of Guy IV, seigneur of La Roche Guyon). In 1173 he adhered to the young King Henry in his revolt against Henry II, but was reconciled to the king. Holding lands in both France and Normandy, the conflict between Philip Augustus and the English kings placed him in a difficult position, and eventually brought about his ruin. In 1188 when Philip took Vedôme, he captured 62 knights sent by the Count of Meulan to assist the defence. In 1191 he was excommunicated for taking action against William de Longchamp, Bishop of Ely. In 1202 he confirmed the charter of his sister, Isabel de Mayenne, to the monks of Savigny. In 1202 he revolted against King Philippe Auguste of France, and suffered the confiscation of his county of Meulan in consequence. Conversely, he had incurred King John's malevolentia before 2 April 1203, when the abbot of Saint-Taurin d'Evreux acted as an intermediary to reconcile him with the king of England. In a vain attempt to save his position, he handed over all of his estates 1 May 1204 to his daughter, Mabel, and her husband, William de Vernon, Earl of Devon. John, however, seized his English estates, and Philippe those in France and Normandy. ROBERT, deposed Count of Meulan, was living 14 November 1207; he died 16 August, about 1212. His widow, Maud, was living 25 October 1212; she reportedly died 1220-1. Brooke Discoverie of Certaine Errours (1724): 75-76.

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

In the period, 1194-9, he served King Richard I throughout his wars against Philip II of France.

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

In 1123 he was drawn into a conspiracy on behalf of William Clito, son of Robert Curthose. He was intercepted by a royal force at Bourgteroude in March 1124. He charged at the head of 40 men-at-arms, but his horse was riddled with arrows and he was captured. He was imprisoned successively at Rouen, Bridgnorth, and Wallingford until 1129, when the king set him free and gave him back all his lands and castles, except the castle of Pont-Audemer. He was present at the death of King Henry I in 1135. He was at Westminster with King Stephen at Easter 1136, where he was contracted to marry the king's infant daughter, Maud; Maud died in childhood in or before 1141, and was buried in the Priory of Holy Trinity, Aldgate. He soon returned to Normandy and joined his brother, Robert, in fighting Roger de Toeny, whom he captured the following October. Early in 1138 he drove David I, King of Scots from the Siege of Wark Castle. In May 1138 he returned to Normandy, where he again fought against Roger de Toeny. He was created Earl of Worcester probably in the latter part of 1138. In 1139 he and his brother, Robert, took a leading part in the arrest of Roger, Bishop of Salisbury and his kinsmen. He founded Bordesley Abbey in 1140 or 1141. He married about 1141 AGNES DE MONTFORT, daughter of Amaury de Montfort, Count of Evreux, by his 2nd wife, Agnes, daughter of Anseau (or Ansel) de Garlande. They had six sons, Robert [II] [Count of Meulan], Waleran [Earl of Worcester], Amaury [seigneur of La Queue and Gournay-sur-Marne], Roger [seigneur of La Queue and Gournay-sur-Marne], Ralph, and Stephen (or Etienne), and three daughters, Isabel, Mary (wife of Hugh Talbot, seigneur of Cleuville), and Amice (wife of Henri de Ferrieres). Her maritagium included the barony of Gournay-sur-Marne in France and the Haie de Lintot, near Lillebonne, in Normandy. At the Battle of Lincoln in 1141, he was one of the commanders of the royal army who fled when the front was broken by the opening charge, leaving the king to be captured. He joined the queen when she recovered London in June 1141. Before the end of 1141, however, he abandoned King Stephen and came to terms with Geoffrey Plantagenet. In 1144 he went to the aid of Geoffrey, who had taken the city of Rouen but had failed to take the tower. He subsequently acted as one of Geoffrey's Justiciars, and attested his charters at Rouen. Probably in the same year he went on pilgrimage to St. James of Compostela. About 1144 he founded the chapel of St. James at Meulan. He took the cross at Vezelay in 1146 and went on crusade in 1147. On his return home, his ship was wrecked off the south coast of France. He and his companions gained the shore by clinging to a couple of planks and some pieces of wreckage. About 1150 he founded the abbey of le Valasse in Normandy. In 1150 Geoffrey Plantagenet resigned the Duchy of Normandy to his son, Henry [future King Henry II]; Waleran acted as one of the young duke's justiciars. In 1153 he was seized at a conference by his nephew, Robert de Montfort, who imprisoned him at Orbec; he was compelled to surrender the castle of Montfort-sur-Risle to gain his freedom. The following year he besieged Montfort, but was put to flight by Robert. In 1160 he witnessed the treaty between Kings Henry II and Louis VII concerning the marriage of their children. In 1161 King Henry II seized Waleran's castles and those of his other barons in Normandy. At an unknown date, he witnessed a charter of his brother-in-law, Gnillaume (or William) Lovel, seigneur of Ivry, to the church of Ste.-Marie of Gournay-sur-Marne. WALERAN [II], Count of Meulan, became a monk at the Abbey of St. Peter, Preaux. He died at Premix 9 (or 10) April 1166, and was buried at the Abbey of St. Peter, Preaux. In 1170-1 his widow, Agnes, granted the church of Sainte-Genevieve in Paris a serf and his wife in execution of a vow made by Waleran, Count of Meulan. In 1181 she gave 20 shillings to the Chapter of Evreux for a lamp on the tomb of her late brother, Simon, Count of Evreux. Agnes, Countess of Meulan, died 15 Dec. 1181.

He was a ward of his step-father, King David I, until 1124. He married before 1138 ISABEL (or ELIZABETH) OF LEICESTER, daughter of Robert of Meulan, Knt., 1st Earl of Leicester, by Amice, daughter of Raoul, seigneur of Gael in Brittany and Breteuil in Normandy [see LEICESTER 6 for her ancestry]. They had one son, Simon [Earl of Huntingdon and Northampton], and three daughters, Amice, Hawise, and Isabel. By an unknown mistress, he had an illegitimate son, Simon. He witnessed the Oxford charter of King Stephen in 1136. He was recognized as Earl of Northampton previous to 1140. About 1140, as "Earl Simon," he granted three bovates and two tofts in Barton on Humber, Lincolnshire to William his chamberlain. He fought for King Stephen at the Battle of Lincoln in 1141, and was one of the three earls who remained faithful to Queen Maud during her husband's captivity. About 1145 he exchanged various rents from the mills of Earl's Barton and Great Doddington, Northamptonshire with the Prior and convent of St. Andrew's, Northampton, in return for lands in Hardingstone, Northamptonshire. After the death of his half-brother, Henry of Scotland, in 1152, he obtained the earldom of Huntingdon. He appears five times in the charters of his brother-in- law, Robert, Earl of Leicester, including treaties with the Bishop of Lincoln and Earl of Chester. In 1152-3 he granted Merton, Oxfordshire to the Templers. He founded the nunnery of De la Pré, near Northampton, and Sawtry Abbey, Huntingdonshire. SIMON DE SENLIS, Earl of Huntingdon and Northampton, died August 1153. Sometime before 1158, his widow, Isabel, and her son, Simon, granted to the nuns of Eaton two carucates of land with pasture for 300 sheep in Waltham on the Wolds, Leicestershire. His widow, Isabel, married (2nd) GERVASE PAYNELL, of Dudley (in Sedgley), Staffordshire, Churchill, Worcestershire, son and heir of Ralph Paynell, of Dudley, Staffordshire. They had one son, Robert. In the period, c.1158-66, he and his wife, Isabel, presented to the church of Waltham on the Wolds, Leicestershire. In the period, 1158-66, he and his wife, Isabel, gave a mansura in Waltham on the Wolds, Leicestershire to Nuneaton Priory, Warwickshire. In 1173 he was among the supporters of Prince Henry in his rebellion. In 1182 he confirmed to the monks of Tickford the chapel of Astwood, Buckinghamshire. In 1187 Gervase confirmed to Tickford Priory, with the consent of his wife, Isabel, Countess of Northampton, the gifts of his father and grandfather. He issued two other charters to Tickford, one giving a house and messuage in Newport, and the other giving his land in Chicheley, Buckinghamshire. GERVASE PAYNELL was living as late as May 1188 (date of letter), and died before Michaelmas 1194, and was buried in Tickford Priory. At some unknown date, Isabel was granted a bovate of land in Groby, Leicestershire by her brother, Robert, Earl of Leicestershire, which sometime in or after 1190 she gave to Nuneaton Priory. At an unknown date, she also granted four bovates in Waltham [on the Wolds], Leicestershire to Belvoir Priory. Baker Hist. & Antiqs. of Northampton 1 (1822-30): 563 (Beaumont-Quincy ped.).
