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.).

ISABEL DE SENLIS [see next].” 2. “Royal Ancestry: A Study in Colonial & Medieval Families,” Douglas Richardson (2013): “ROBERT OF MEULAN, Knt., nicknamed “le Bossu,” 1st Earl of Leicester, Justiciar of England, 1155-68, and, in right of his wife, of seigneur of Bréteuil, Lire, and Gloz in Normandy, younger son, born in 1104. He and his brother, Waleran, were brought up at the court of King Henry I of England with great care on account of the king's gratitude to their father. At his father's death in 1118, he succeeded to his English fiefs. He married after Nov. 1120 AMICE DE GAEL, daughter of Raoul de Gael, seigneur of Gael in Brittany and Bréteuil in Normandy. They had four sons, Robert, Knt. [2nd Earl of Leicester], Henry, Geoffrey, and John, and three daughters, Isabel (or Elizabeth), Hawise, and Margaret. He was granted the honour of Bréteuil in Normandy by his wife's father, who resigned it in his favor. He was knighted in 1122. Sometime in the period, 1126-68, he gave the church of Weedon, Northamptonshire to Bec Abbey. He was present at the death-bed of King Henry I in 1135. In the anarchy which followed, war broke out between Robert and his hereditary foe, Roger de Tony, whom he eventually captured with his brother, Waleran's assistance. Sometime in the period, c.1135-68, he and his son, Robert, confirmed the grant to Bec Abbey by William de Braol of £10 annual rent in “Pachem” (unidentified). In Dec. 1137 he and his brother, Waleran, returned to England with King Stephen as his chief advisers. In 1139 he and his brother seized the Bishops of Salisbury and Lincoln at Oxford. Sometime in the period, 1139-1141 he was granted the city, castle, and entire county of Hereford by King Stephen; the grant cannot have been much more than momentary. He devoted himself to his foundation of St. Mary de Pré at Leicester, which was accomplished in 1143. After the death of King Stephen, he appears to have made a truce with the Angevin party in Normandy. Following the death of his wife's cousin, William de Paci, in 1153, he was granted Paci in Normandy by Henry, Duke of Normandy (afterwards King Henry II). On Duke Henry's landing in England in 1153, he supplied him freely with means for his struggle. Shortly after the coronation of King Henry II in 1154, he was appointed chief justiciar of England. In 1158 he was left in charge of the kingdom, in a vice-regal capacity, until the king's return from Normandy in 1163. He was present at the Council of Clarendon, 13-28 Jan. 1163/4, and was the first to attest the "Constitutions," to which he procured the assent of Thomas à Becket. In 1165, on the king's departure, he was again left in charge of the kingdom. He appears to have accompanied the king to Normandy in spring 1166, but leaving him, returned to his post before October, and retained it until his death. In addition to St. Mary de Pré, he founded the abbey of Garendon, the monastery of Nuneaton, the priory of Lusfield, and the hospital of Brackley. He was also a benefactor to the Abbeys of Lire and la Chaise-Dieu in Normandy. At an unknown date, he confirmed to the church of Saint Nigasius of Meulan one ounce of gold in Thurmaston, Leicestershire which Amice his wife had formerly given. SIR ROBERT OF MEULAN, 1st Earl of Leicester, died 5 April 1168. His widow, Amice, is said to have entered the convent of Nuneaton Priory. She died 31 August, year uncertain.

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.).

ISABEL DE SENLIS [see next].” 2. “Royal Ancestry: A Study in Colonial & Medieval Families,” Douglas Richardson (2013): “MAUD OF NORTHUMBERLAND, daughter and co-heiress, born about 1072 (aged 18 in 1090). She married (1st) in or before 1090 SIMON DE SENLIS, in right of his wife, Earl of Huntingdon and Northampton, and, lord of Conington, Huntingdonshire, Tottenham, Middlesex, Fotheringay, Northamptonshire, etc. They had two sons, Simon [Earl of Northampton] and [Saint] Waltheof [Prior of Kirkham, Abbot of Melrose], and one daughter, Maud. By an unknown mistress, he had an illegitimate son, Simon. He went on crusade in 1095. In 1098 he was captured during the Vexin campaign of King William Rufus in 1098, and was subsequently ransomed. He witnessed King Henry I's charter of liberties issued at his coronation in 1100. He attested royal charters in England from 1100-3, 1106-7, and 1109-11. Sometime in the period, 1093-1100, he and his wife, Maud, founded the Priory of St. Andrew's, Northampton. He reportedly built the first castle at Northampton. He witnessed a grant of King Henry I to Bath Abbey 8 August 1111 at Bishop's Waltham, as the king was crossing to Normandy. Simon and his wife, Maud, gave the tithe of Tottenham, Middlesex to the monks of St. Andrew's, Northampton. SIMON DE SENLIS, Earl of Huntingdon and Northampton, subsequently went abroad and died at La Charité-sur-Loire, and was buried there in the new priory church. The date of his death is uncertain. His widow, Maud, married (2nd) before Midsummer 1113 DAVID I, King of Scots [see SCOTLAND 2], 6th and youngest son of Malcolm III Canmore, King of Scots, by his 2nd wife, Margaret [see SCOTLAND I for his ancestry]. He was probably born about 1085. They had two sons, Malcolm and Henry [Earl of Northumberland], and two daughters, Clarisse and Hodierne. David was recognized as Earl of Huntingdon to the exclusion of his step-son, Simon; the earldom of Northampton reverted to the crown. As Earl of Huntingdon, he made various grants to St. Andrew's, Northampton. In 1113 he founded an abbey at Selkirk, afterwards removed to Kelso, and gave it land at Hardingstone and Northampton. He founded another abbey at Jedworth in 1118. He succeeded, his brother, Alexander I, as King of Scotland 25 April 1124. In 1127 he joined in the Barons' recognition of Empress Maud to succeed her father on the throne of England. When Stephen seized the crown, David took arms against him. His wife, Queen Maud, died 1130 or 1131, and was buried at Scone. About 1132 he gave the church of Tottenham, Middlesex to the canons of the church of Holy Trinity, London. In 1136 King David I resigned the earldom of Huntingdon to his son, Henry, who did homage to Stephen. David was defeated at the Battle of Standard 22 August 1138. DAVID I, King of Scots, died at Carlisle 24 May 1153, and was buried at Dunfermline, Fife.

This earldom came to King David by right of his wife, Maud daughter of Earl Waltheof, but he was her second husband and his claim was disputed by Simon de Senlis II who was Maud's son by her first marriage. Stephen was predisposed towards Simon (who supported him loyally) but anxious not to make an enemy of King David if he could help it, and he seems to have aimed at a compromise whereby Northampton would be detached from the earldom of Huntingdon and made a separate earldom for Simon. So far as Huntingdon was concerned, he granted it to King David's son Henry at the Treaty of Durham (5 February 1136). Henry presumably forfeited it during the Scottish war of 1138, but held it again from the second Treaty of Durham (9 April 1139) till the end of 1141, when he finally lost it. It was subsequently held by Simon de Senlis II together with Northampton (G.W.S. Barrow, in Regesta Regum Scottorum i. 102)."). Tait Medieval English Borough (1968): 154-155 ([King William Rufus] apparently ... rewarded the loyalty of Henry of Newburgh and Simon of Senlis with the earldoms of Warwick and Northampton and the lordships of those towns. Simon as the son-in-law of Waltheof had a hereditary claim to the earldom, though not to the town ... It has been doubted whether Simon received the earldom before Henry l's time (Farrer, Honors and Knights' Fees, ii. 296), but he attests a charter of the previous reign as earl (Davis, op. cit., no. 315) and was already earl at Henry's coronation. There is some evidence that Henry I granted the earldom of Northampton as well as that of Huntingdon to David of Scotland, the husband of Simon's widow, but he kept the lordship of the town in his own hands and it was being farmed from the Crown in 1130.).

He and his brother, Waleran, were brought up at the court of King Henry I of England with great care on account of the king's gratitude to their father. At his father's death in 1118, he succeeded to his English fiefs. He married after Nov. 1120 AMICE DE GAEL, daughter of Raoul de Gael, seigneur of Gael in Brittany and Bréteuil in Normandy. They had four sons, Robert, Knt. [2nd Earl of Leicester], Henry, Geoffrey, and John, and three daughters, Isabel (or Elizabeth), Hawise, and Margaret. He was granted the honour of Bréteuil in Normandy by his wife's father, who resigned it in his favor. He was knighted in 1122. Sometime in the period, 1126-68, he gave the church of Weedon, Northamptonshire to Bec Abbey. He was present at the death-bed of King Henry I in 1135. In the anarchy which followed, war broke out between Robert and his hereditary foe, Roger de Tony, whom he eventually captured with his brother, Waleran's assistance. Sometime in the period, c.1135-68, he and his son, Robert, confirmed the grant to Bec Abbey by William de Braol of £10 annual rent in “Pachem” (unidentified). In Dec. 1137 he and his brother, Waleran, returned to England with King Stephen as his chief advisers. In 1139 he and his brother seized the Bishops of Salisbury and Lincoln at Oxford. Sometime in the period, 1139-1141 he was granted the city, castle, and entire county of Hereford by King Stephen; the grant cannot have been much more than momentary. He devoted himself to his foundation of St. Mary de Pré at Leicester, which was accomplished in 1143. After the death of King Stephen, he appears to have made a truce with the Angevin party in Normandy. Following the death of his wife's cousin, William de Paci, in 1153, he was granted Paci in Normandy by Henry, Duke of Normandy (afterwards King Henry II). On Duke Henry's landing in England in 1153, he supplied him freely with means for his struggle. Shortly after the coronation of King Henry II in 1154, he was appointed chief justiciar of England. In 1158 he was left in charge of the kingdom, in a vice-regal capacity, until the king's return from Normandy in 1163. He was present at the Council of Clarendon, 13-28 Jan. 1163/4, and was the first to attest the "Constitutions," to which he procured the assent of Thomas à Becket. In 1165, on the king's departure, he was again left in charge of the kingdom. He appears to have accompanied the king to Normandy in spring 1166, but leaving him, returned to his post before October, and retained it until his death. In addition to St. Mary de Pré, he founded the abbey of Garendon, the monastery of Nuneaton, the priory of Lusfield, and the hospital of Brackley. He was also a benefactor to the Abbeys of Lire and la Chaise-Dieu in Normandy. At an unknown date, he confirmed to the church of Saint Nigasius of Meulan one ounce of gold in Thurmaston, Leicestershire which Amice his wife had formerly given. SIR ROBERT OF MEULAN, 1st Earl of Leicester, died 5 April 1168. His widow, Amice, is said to have entered the convent of Nuneaton Priory. She died 31 August, year uncertain.

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.).

As Simon, Earl of Huntingdon, he granted to the monks of Wardon, Bedfordshire a certain road as they had it on the day he came to the Siege of Huntingdon. SIMON DE SENLIS, Earl of Huntingdon and Northampton, died in June 1184. He was buried in St. Andrew's Priory, Northampton, to which he was a benefactor. His widow, Alice, died in 1185. She gave the mills of Folkingham, Lincolnshire to Sempinghan Priory, Lincolnshire in order that she might be buried there, but it appears she was instead buried at Bridlington Priory, Yorkshire.

ISABEL DE SENLIS [see next].” 2. “Royal Ancestry: A Study in Colonial & Medieval Families,” Douglas Richardson (2013): “MAUD OF NORTHUMBERLAND, daughter and co-heiress, born about 1072 (aged 18 in 1090). She married (1st) in or before 1090 SIMON DE SENLIS, in right of his wife, Earl of Huntingdon and Northampton, and, lord of Conington, Huntingdonshire, Tottenham, Middlesex, Fotheringay, Northamptonshire, etc. They had two sons, Simon [Earl of Northampton] and [Saint] Waltheof [Prior of Kirkham, Abbot of Melrose], and one daughter, Maud. By an unknown mistress, he had an illegitimate son, Simon. He went on crusade in 1095. In 1098 he was captured during the Vexin campaign of King William Rufus in 1098, and was subsequently ransomed. He witnessed King Henry I's charter of liberties issued at his coronation in 1100. He attested royal charters in England from 1100-3, 1106-7, and 1109-11. Sometime in the period, 1093-1100, he and his wife, Maud, founded the Priory of St. Andrew's, Northampton. He reportedly built the first castle at Northampton. He witnessed a grant of King Henry I to Bath Abbey 8 August 1111 at Bishop's Waltham, as the king was crossing to Normandy. Simon and his wife, Maud, gave the tithe of Tottenham, Middlesex to the monks of St. Andrew's, Northampton. SIMON DE SENLIS, Earl of Huntingdon and Northampton, subsequently went abroad and died at La Charité-sur-Loire, and was buried there in the new priory church. The date of his death is uncertain. His widow, Maud, married (2nd) before Midsummer 1113 DAVID I, King of Scots [see SCOTLAND 2], 6th and youngest son of Malcolm III Canmore, King of Scots, by his 2nd wife, Margaret [see SCOTLAND I for his ancestry]. He was probably born about 1085. They had two sons, Malcolm and Henry [Earl of Northumberland], and two daughters, Clarisse and Hodierne. David was recognized as Earl of Huntingdon to the exclusion of his step-son, Simon; the earldom of Northampton reverted to the crown. As Earl of Huntingdon, he made various grants to St. Andrew's, Northampton. In 1113 he founded an abbey at Selkirk, afterwards removed to Kelso, and gave it land at Hardingstone and Northampton. He founded another abbey at Jedworth in 1118. He succeeded, his brother, Alexander I, as King of Scotland 25 April 1124. In 1127 he joined in the Barons' recognition of Empress Maud to succeed her father on the throne of England. When Stephen seized the crown, David took arms against him. His wife, Queen Maud, died 1130 or 1131, and was buried at Scone. About 1132 he gave the church of Tottenham, Middlesex to the canons of the church of Holy Trinity, London. In 1136 King David I resigned the earldom of Huntingdon to his son, Henry, who did homage to Stephen. David was defeated at the Battle of Standard 22 August 1138. DAVID I, King of Scots, died at Carlisle 24 May 1153, and was buried at Dunfermline, Fife.

This earldom came to King David by right of his wife, Maud daughter of Earl Waltheof, but he was her second husband and his claim was disputed by Simon de Senlis II who was Maud's son by her first marriage. Stephen was predisposed towards Simon (who supported him loyally) but anxious not to make an enemy of King David if he could help it, and he seems to have aimed at a compromise whereby Northampton would be detached from the earldom of Huntingdon and made a separate earldom for Simon. So far as Huntingdon was concerned, he granted it to King David's son Henry at the Treaty of Durham (5 February 1136). Henry presumably forfeited it during the Scottish war of 1138, but held it again from the second Treaty of Durham (9 April 1139) till the end of 1141, when he finally lost it. It was subsequently held by Simon de Senlis II together with Northampton (G.W.S. Barrow, in Regesta Regum Scottorum i. 102)."). Tait Medieval English Borough (1968): 154-155 ([King William Rufus] apparently ... rewarded the loyalty of Henry of Newburgh and Simon of Senlis with the earldoms of Warwick and Northampton and the lordships of those towns. Simon as the son-in-law of Waltheof had a hereditary claim to the earldom, though not to the town ... It has been doubted whether Simon received the earldom before Henry l's time (Farrer, Honors and Knights' Fees, ii. 296), but he attests a charter of the previous reign as earl (Davis, op. cit., no. 315) and was already earl at Henry's coronation. There is some evidence that Henry I granted the earldom of Northampton as well as that of Huntingdon to David of Scotland, the husband of Simon's widow, but he kept the lordship of the town in his own hands and it was being farmed from the Crown in 1130.).

He and his brother, Waleran, were brought up at the court of King Henry I of England with great care on account of the king's gratitude to their father. At his father's death in 1118, he succeeded to his English fiefs. He married after Nov. 1120 AMICE DE GAEL, daughter of Raoul de Gael, seigneur of Gael in Brittany and Bréteuil in Normandy. They had four sons, Robert, Knt. [2nd Earl of Leicester], Henry, Geoffrey, and John, and three daughters, Isabel (or Elizabeth), Hawise, and Margaret. He was granted the honour of Bréteuil in Normandy by his wife's father, who resigned it in his favor. He was knighted in 1122. Sometime in the period, 1126-68, he gave the church of Weedon, Northamptonshire to Bec Abbey. He was present at the death-bed of King Henry I in 1135. In the anarchy which followed, war broke out between Robert and his hereditary foe, Roger de Tony, whom he eventually captured with his brother, Waleran's assistance. Sometime in the period, c.1135-68, he and his son, Robert, confirmed the grant to Bec Abbey by William de Braol of £10 annual rent in “Pachem” (unidentified). In Dec. 1137 he and his brother, Waleran, returned to England with King Stephen as his chief advisers. In 1139 he and his brother seized the Bishops of Salisbury and Lincoln at Oxford. Sometime in the period, 1139-1141 he was granted the city, castle, and entire county of Hereford by King Stephen; the grant cannot have been much more than momentary. He devoted himself to his foundation of St. Mary de Pré at Leicester, which was accomplished in 1143. After the death of King Stephen, he appears to have made a truce with the Angevin party in Normandy. Following the death of his wife's cousin, William de Paci, in 1153, he was granted Paci in Normandy by Henry, Duke of Normandy (afterwards King Henry II). On Duke Henry's landing in England in 1153, he supplied him freely with means for his struggle. Shortly after the coronation of King Henry II in 1154, he was appointed chief justiciar of England. In 1158 he was left in charge of the kingdom, in a vice-regal capacity, until the king's return from Normandy in 1163. He was present at the Council of Clarendon, 13-28 Jan. 1163/4, and was the first to attest the "Constitutions," to which he procured the assent of Thomas à Becket. In 1165, on the king's departure, he was again left in charge of the kingdom. He appears to have accompanied the king to Normandy in spring 1166, but leaving him, returned to his post before October, and retained it until his death. In addition to St. Mary de Pré, he founded the abbey of Garendon, the monastery of Nuneaton, the priory of Lusfield, and the hospital of Brackley. He was also a benefactor to the Abbeys of Lire and la Chaise-Dieu in Normandy. At an unknown date, he confirmed to the church of Saint Nigasius of Meulan one ounce of gold in Thurmaston, Leicestershire which Amice his wife had formerly given. SIR ROBERT OF MEULAN, 1st Earl of Leicester, died 5 April 1168. His widow, Amice, is said to have entered the convent of Nuneaton Priory. She died 31 August, year uncertain.

| 7206 | RESEARCH_NOTES: 1. “Royal Ancestry: A Study in Colonial & Medieval Families,” Douglas Richardson (2013): “STEPHEN (or ETIENNE), Count of Aumale, Lord of Holderness, Warden of the Marches of Normandy, Banner-bearer to the Archbishops of Rouen, son and heir by his mother's 3rd marriage, born before 1070. He married HAWISE DE MORTIMER, daughter of Ralph de Mortimer, of Wigmore, Herefordshire, seigneur of Saint-Victor-en-Caux, by his 1st wife, Melisende. They had four sons, William [Count of Aumale, Earl of York], Stephen, Enguerrand, and Richard, and four daughters, Alice (or Adelise) (wife of Robert Bertram and Engelger de Bohun), Maud (or Mathilde) (wife of Gerard, Vidame of Picquigny), Melisende (wife of Pierre de Gerberoy, Vidame of Beauvais), and Agnes (wife of William de Roumare and Adam de Brus). In 1089 he was the first of the Normans to embrace the side of King William II Rufus against his brother, Robert, Duke of Normandy; at the king's expense he strongly fortified his castle on the Bresle river, and admitted into it a numerous garrison of the king's troops to hold the same against Duke Robert. He also appears to have withheld the castle of Le Homme from the nuns of the Abbey of Caen, and garrisoned it in like manner with the king's troops. In 1095 a conspiracy was formed by several Anglo-Norman nobles headed by Robert de Mowbray, Earl of Northumberland, attempted to overthrow King William II and place Stephen of Aumale on the throne of England. The conspiracy being detected, Stephen took sanctuary in the monastery of St. Oswin at Tynemouth. He was subsequently captured and condemned to the loss of his eyes. On the intercession of his wife and kindred, he was pardoned. In 1096 he gave the church of Saint-Martin d'Auchy to the Abbey of Saint-Lucien de Beauvais. The same year he went on the First Crusade with Robert, Duke of Normandy. By charter dated c.1100, with the consent of his wife, Hawise, and her father, Ralph de Mortimer, he gave to the Priory of St.-Martin-des-Champs the church of Airaines (Somme), for the redemption of his soul and that of his wife, Hawise, and of her father, Ralph de Mortimer, and Melisende his wife deceased. He took the part of King Henry I against Duke Robert in 1104. He fought on the side of King Henry I at the Battle of Tinchebrai in 1106. In 1115 he confirmed the gifts made by his mother and by himself to Saint-Lucien de Beauvais, which confirmation was made for the remission of his sins and for the repose of the souls of his mother, Alice, and his uncle, William I, King of England; he added the tithes and churches which he held in England under King Henry I. In 1118 he supported Baldwin, Count of Flanders, and the French king in their invasion of Normandy on behalf of William Clito, son of Duke Robert; he persisted in the rebellion but was reduced to submission in 1119. In 1124 he was granted the wardship of his great-nephew, Simon de Senlis. In 1127 he again rebelled against King Henry I, and joined a new league to support the claims of William Clito; King Henry took and burnt his castle of Aumale. He subsequently departed a second time for the Holy Land in 1127. STEPHEN, Count of Aumale, died before 1130.

An examination of those mentioned in the three charters relating to the abbey of St. Martin of Aumale shows nearly all of them to be within a radius of 10 kil. of Aumale, mostly in Normandy but some of the eastern side of the river Bresle and therefore outside the limits of the duchy. This suggests that Aumale may not have been, strictly speaking, a Norman comté. This seems to support the suggestion made by the writer of the article in The Complete Peerage that the countship of Stephen the first count may have been due to the fact that he was the son of Odo the dispossessed count of Champagne and therefore of comital rank.").

He witnessed two charters of King Stephen in 1136 as Willelmus de Albamarla, not being placed among the counts. He distinguished himself at the Battle of the Standard in 1138. He was made Earl of Yorkshire as his reward. He founded Thornton Abbey, Lincolnshire in 1139. He was with King Stephen at his defeat at the Battle of Lincoln 2 Feb. 1140/1. He founded the Abbey of Meaux in 1150. In the period, 1150-60, he made a grant to Orsmby Priory, Lincolnshire. In 1173 he supported the rebellion of young King Henry, son of King Henry II, but submitted and surrendered all his castles to the king's troops.

She married (1st) ROBERT BERTRAM, seigneur of Bricquebec in the Côtentin and Auge (in Roncheville-le-Bertrand). They had one son, Robert [Viscount of Auge]. ROBERT BERTRAM is possibly the man of that name killed in 1138. She married (2nd) before 1157 (as his 2nd wife) ENGELGER DE BOHUN, son and heir of Richard de Meri, by his wife, Lucy. They had no issue. In 1136 he and his brother, Alexander, with the keeping of Domfront and Argentan. He and his brother, Alexander, witnessed a charter of Geoffrey Plantagenet, Duke of Normandy, Count of Anjou, ratifying the finding of the jury in the time of Algar, Bishop of Coutances. In the period, 1151-79, his wife, Alice, gave the church of St. Mary of Le Homme to the Abbey of St. Sauveur, which gift she made for the health of his soul and that of Engelger her husband and Robert Bertram her son. In 1154 he witnessed a charter of Richard de la Hale and his wife, Maud de Vernon, founding the abbey of Blanchelande in the vicinity of their Castle of La Haie-du-puits. In 1154 he and Richard de Hulmeto gave freedom to the men of the priory of Saints Mary and Fromund in the diocese of Bayeux from toll at Le Hommet and all dues throughout their land. In 1154 he assisted in the consecration of the church of Saint-Fromonde. He was in close attendance on King Henry II before his accession. In the period, 1155-65, he gave the monastery of St. George of Bohun the right of presentation to the church of St. Andrew, this gift being made for the health of the souls of his wife, Adelise, and his father, Richard de Meri. He appears often in the Pipe Rolls in the period, 1158 to 1172. He was a benefactor of the same abbey, giving the land of Bohonet, and, in 1164, conceding his share in the advowson of the church of Ravenoville in the Côtentin. His wife, Alice, was living in 1166-7, when she accounted for land in Aldworth, Berkshire, presumably held in right of dower. He is mentioned as one of King Henry II's evil councillors in 1170 who incited the king against Becket. In 1172 he settled a dispute with Enguerrand de Campo Rotondo regarding the church of Capella, which Engelger had previously given to his priory of monks at Bohun. In 1172-81 he witnessed a charter of his cousin, Humphrey de Bohun, hereditary Constable of England, confirming to the Priory of Bohun all the gifts of his predecessors and those of his men. In 1180 his land at St. Marcouf in the Côtentin was in the hands of the king's officers, presumably due to his recent death.

| 7207 | RESEARCH_NOTES: 1. “Royal Ancestry: A Study in Colonial & Medieval Families,” Douglas Richardson (2013): “STEPHEN (or ETIENNE), Count of Aumale, Lord of Holderness, Warden of the Marches of Normandy, Banner-bearer to the Archbishops of Rouen, son and heir by his mother's 3rd marriage, born before 1070. He married HAWISE DE MORTIMER, daughter of Ralph de Mortimer, of Wigmore, Herefordshire, seigneur of Saint-Victor-en-Caux, by his 1st wife, Melisende. They had four sons, William [Count of Aumale, Earl of York], Stephen, Enguerrand, and Richard, and four daughters, Alice (or Adelise) (wife of Robert Bertram and Engelger de Bohun), Maud (or Mathilde) (wife of Gerard, Vidame of Picquigny), Melisende (wife of Pierre de Gerberoy, Vidame of Beauvais), and Agnes (wife of William de Roumare and Adam de Brus). In 1089 he was the first of the Normans to embrace the side of King William II Rufus against his brother, Robert, Duke of Normandy; at the king's expense he strongly fortified his castle on the Bresle river, and admitted into it a numerous garrison of the king's troops to hold the same against Duke Robert. He also appears to have withheld the castle of Le Homme from the nuns of the Abbey of Caen, and garrisoned it in like manner with the king's troops. In 1095 a conspiracy was formed by several Anglo-Norman nobles headed by Robert de Mowbray, Earl of Northumberland, attempted to overthrow King William II and place Stephen of Aumale on the throne of England. The conspiracy being detected, Stephen took sanctuary in the monastery of St. Oswin at Tynemouth. He was subsequently captured and condemned to the loss of his eyes. On the intercession of his wife and kindred, he was pardoned. In 1096 he gave the church of Saint-Martin d'Auchy to the Abbey of Saint-Lucien de Beauvais. The same year he went on the First Crusade with Robert, Duke of Normandy. By charter dated c.1100, with the consent of his wife, Hawise, and her father, Ralph de Mortimer, he gave to the Priory of St.-Martin-des-Champs the church of Airaines (Somme), for the redemption of his soul and that of his wife, Hawise, and of her father, Ralph de Mortimer, and Melisende his wife deceased. He took the part of King Henry I against Duke Robert in 1104. He fought on the side of King Henry I at the Battle of Tinchebrai in 1106. In 1115 he confirmed the gifts made by his mother and by himself to Saint-Lucien de Beauvais, which confirmation was made for the remission of his sins and for the repose of the souls of his mother, Alice, and his uncle, William I, King of England; he added the tithes and churches which he held in England under King Henry I. In 1118 he supported Baldwin, Count of Flanders, and the French king in their invasion of Normandy on behalf of William Clito, son of Duke Robert; he persisted in the rebellion but was reduced to submission in 1119. In 1124 he was granted the wardship of his great-nephew, Simon de Senlis. In 1127 he again rebelled against King Henry I, and joined a new league to support the claims of William Clito; King Henry took and burnt his castle of Aumale. He subsequently departed a second time for the Holy Land in 1127. STEPHEN, Count of Aumale, died before 1130.

An examination of those mentioned in the three charters relating to the abbey of St. Martin of Aumale shows nearly all of them to be within a radius of 10 kil. of Aumale, mostly in Normandy but some of the eastern side of the river Bresle and therefore outside the limits of the duchy. This suggests that Aumale may not have been, strictly speaking, a Norman comté. This seems to support the suggestion made by the writer of the article in The Complete Peerage that the countship of Stephen the first count may have been due to the fact that he was the son of Odo the dispossessed count of Champagne and therefore of comital rank.").

WILLIAM, Count of Aumale, lord of Holdemess, son and heir. He married CECILY FITZ WILLIAM, daughter of William Fitz Duncan, of Egremont and Aspatria, Cumberland, by Alice, daughter of William Meschin [see HARINGTON 3 for her ancestry]. They had one known daughter, Hawise [Countess of Aumale] (wife successively of William de Mandeville, 3rd Earl of Essex, William de Forz, Count of Aumale, and Baldwin de Bethune), and two alleged daughters, Alice (d.s.p. c. 1215) and Amice (or Avice) (mother of Constance, wife of William de Eshton). He witnessed two charters of King Stephen in 1136 as Willelmus de Albamarla, not being placed among the counts. He distinguished himself at the Battle of the Standard in 1138. He was made Earl of Yorkshire as his reward. He founded Thornton Abbey, Lincolnshire in 1139. He was with King Stephen at his defeat at the Battle of Lincoln 2 Feb. 1140/1. He founded the Abbey of Meaux in 1150. In the period, 1150-60, he made a grant to Orsmby Priory, Lincolnshire. In 1173 he supported the rebellion of young King Henry, son of King Henry II, but submitted and surrendered all his castles to the king's troops.

In 1150 an act of Enguerrand, viscount of Aumale, for Beaupre, concerning Brombos (dioc. Beauvais), was made 'in the presence of lord Enguerrand d'Aumale.' In 1153 Henry, Duke of Normandy [afterwards King Henry II of England] promised to give the English lands of Enguerrand of Aumale to the Earl of Chester if Enguerrand refused to join him. Arch.

She married (1st) ROBERT BERTRAM, seigneur of Bricquebec in the Côtentin and Auge (in Roncheville-le-Bertrand). They had one son, Robert [Viscount of Auge]. ROBERT BERTRAM is possibly the man of that name killed in 1138. She married (2nd) before 1157 (as his 2nd wife) ENGELGER DE BOHUN, son and heir of Richard de Meri, by his wife, Lucy. They had no issue. In 1136 he and his brother, Alexander, with the keeping of Domfront and Argentan. He and his brother, Alexander, witnessed a charter of Geoffrey Plantagenet, Duke of Normandy, Count of Anjou, ratifying the finding of the jury in the time of Algar, Bishop of Coutances. In the period, 1151-79, his wife, Alice, gave the church of St. Mary of Le Homme to the Abbey of St. Sauveur, which gift she made for the health of his soul and that of Engelger her husband and Robert Bertram her son. In 1154 he witnessed a charter of Richard de la Hale and his wife, Maud de Vernon, founding the abbey of Blanchelande in the vicinity of their Castle of La Haie-du-puits. In 1154 he and Richard de Hulmeto gave freedom to the men of the priory of Saints Mary and Fromund in the diocese of Bayeux from toll at Le Hommet and all dues throughout their land. In 1154 he assisted in the consecration of the church of Saint-Fromonde. He was in close attendance on King Henry II before his accession. In the period, 1155-65, he gave the monastery of St. George of Bohun the right of presentation to the church of St. Andrew, this gift being made for the health of the souls of his wife, Adelise, and his father, Richard de Meri. He appears often in the Pipe Rolls in the period, 1158 to 1172. He was a benefactor of the same abbey, giving the land of Bohonet, and, in 1164, conceding his share in the advowson of the church of Ravenoville in the Côtentin. His wife, Alice, was living in 1166-7, when she accounted for land in Aldworth, Berkshire, presumably held in right of dower. He is mentioned as one of King Henry II's evil councillors in 1170 who incited the king against Becket. In 1172 he settled a dispute with Enguerrand de Campo Rotondo regarding the church of Capella, which Engelger had previously given to his priory of monks at Bohun. In 1172-81 he witnessed a charter of his cousin, Humphrey de Bohun, hereditary Constable of England, confirming to the Priory of Bohun all the gifts of his predecessors and those of his men. In 1180 his land at St. Marcouf in the Côtentin was in the hands of the king's officers, presumably due to his recent death.

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

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

His active career was that of a warrior and statesman. He found ships for the invasion of England and fought in person at Senlac. He became Earl of Kent in 1066-67, and for some years he was a trusted royal minister. He acquired lands in more than twenty English counties. He worked energetically to build up the resources, both material and spiritual, of his see. At times he acted as viceroy in King William's absence and led royal forces to chastise rebellions. He took part in the northern campaign with his nephew, Robert Curthose, in 1080. In 1083 he was suddenly disgraced and imprisoned on the king's orders. In 1087 King William, when on his death-bed, reluctantly permitted his release. In 1088 he supported the rebellion of Robert Curthose against King William Rufus. In 1096 he went on the 1st Crusade.

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 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.

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.

| 7212 | RESEARCH_NOTES: 1. “Royal Ancestry: A Study in Colonial & Medieval Families,” Douglas Richardson (2013): “WALERAN (or GALERAN) [II], Count of Meulan, Earl of Worcester, seigneur of Beaumont-le-Roger, Brionne, la Croix Saint-Leufroy, Elbeuf, Port-Audemer, Vatteville, etc., son and heir, born in 1104. 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.

| 7214 | RESEARCH_NOTES: 1. “Royal Ancestry: A Study in Colonial & Medieval Families,” Douglas Richardson (2013): “WALERAN (or GALERAN) [II], Count of Meulan, Earl of Worcester, seigneur of Beaumont-le-Roger, Brionne, la Croix Saint-Leufroy, Elbeuf, Port-Audemer, Vatteville, etc., son and heir, born in 1104. 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 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.

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.

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.

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 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 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 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 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.)

He and his brother, Waleran, were brought up at the court of King Henry I of England with great care on account of the king's gratitude to their father. At his father's death in 1118, he succeeded to his English fiefs. He married after Nov. 1120 AMICE DE GAEL, daughter of Raoul de Gael, seigneur of Gael in Brittany and Bréteuil in Normandy. They had four sons, Robert, Knt. [2nd Earl of Leicester], Henry, Geoffrey, and John, and three daughters, Isabel (or Elizabeth), Hawise, and Margaret. He was granted the honour of Bréteuil in Normandy by his wife's father, who resigned it in his favor. He was knighted in 1122. Sometime in the period, 1126-68, he gave the church of Weedon, Northamptonshire to Bec Abbey. He was present at the death-bed of King Henry I in 1135. In the anarchy which followed, war broke out between Robert and his hereditary foe, Roger de Tony, whom he eventually captured with his brother, Waleran's assistance. Sometime in the period, c.1135-68, he and his son, Robert, confirmed the grant to Bec Abbey by William de Braol of £10 annual rent in “Pachem” (unidentified). In Dec. 1137 he and his brother, Waleran, returned to England with King Stephen as his chief advisers. In 1139 he and his brother seized the Bishops of Salisbury and Lincoln at Oxford. Sometime in the period, 1139-1141 he was granted the city, castle, and entire county of Hereford by King Stephen; the grant cannot have been much more than momentary. He devoted himself to his foundation of St. Mary de Pré at Leicester, which was accomplished in 1143. After the death of King Stephen, he appears to have made a truce with the Angevin party in Normandy. Following the death of his wife's cousin, William de Paci, in 1153, he was granted Paci in Normandy by Henry, Duke of Normandy (afterwards King Henry II). On Duke Henry's landing in England in 1153, he supplied him freely with means for his struggle. Shortly after the coronation of King Henry II in 1154, he was appointed chief justiciar of England. In 1158 he was left in charge of the kingdom, in a vice-regal capacity, until the king's return from Normandy in 1163. He was present at the Council of Clarendon, 13-28 Jan. 1163/4, and was the first to attest the "Constitutions," to which he procured the assent of Thomas à Becket. In 1165, on the king's departure, he was again left in charge of the kingdom. He appears to have accompanied the king to Normandy in spring 1166, but leaving him, returned to his post before October, and retained it until his death. In addition to St. Mary de Pré, he founded the abbey of Garendon, the monastery of Nuneaton, the priory of Lusfield, and the hospital of Brackley. He was also a benefactor to the Abbeys of Lire and la Chaise-Dieu in Normandy. At an unknown date, he confirmed to the church of Saint Nigasius of Meulan one ounce of gold in Thurmaston, Leicestershire which Amice his wife had formerly given. SIR ROBERT OF MEULAN, 1st Earl of Leicester, died 5 April 1168. His widow, Amice, is said to have entered the convent of Nuneaton Priory. She died 31 August, year uncertain.

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

He married about 30 July 1248 MAUD DE FERRERS (generally known as MAUD DE KYME), widow of Simon de Kyme, of Sotby, Burgh, Croft, Elkington, Friskney, and Winthorpe, Lincolnshire (died shortly before 30 July 1248), and daughter of William de Ferrers, Knt., 5th Earl of Derby, by his 1st wife, Sibyl, 3rd daughter of William Marshal, Knt., 4th Earl of Pembroke (or Striguil), hereditary Master Marshal [see FERRERS 7 for her ancestry]. She was born about 1230. Maud was co-heiress in 1245 to her uncle, Anselm Marshal, Earl of Pembroke, by which she inherited the manor of Carbury, co. Kildare, Ireland and a third part of the seal of the chancery of co. Kildare, Ireland. They had four daughters, Joan, Sibyl, Mabel, and Cecily. In 1249 he and his 1st cousin, Nicholas Poyntz, were called to warranty by John de la Stane for 1/2 knight's fee in Fisherton, Wiltshire. The same year he reached agreement regarding the dower of his grandfather, William Malet's widow, Alice Basset. In 1252 the king confirmed his demise of the manors of Chewton, Compton Dundon, Midsomer Norton, Shepton Mallet, and Welton, Somerset to the Abbot and convent of St. Augustine, Bristol until the abbot and convent receive £224 which they borrowed from some foreign merchants for his use. In 1255 he made homage to the Abbot of Glastonbury for 10 knights' fees. In 1257 he granted the canons of St.-Hilaire the right of usage which he had in the woods of Champagne, for which the canons in turn granted him the third part of a wood between Ferriere and the road leading from Champagne to Chateau-Larcher.

In 1275-6 he and his wife, Maud, arraigned an assize of novel disseisin against Philip de Kyme and others touching a tenement in Skegness, Lincolnshire.

He married about 30 July 1248 MAUD DE FERRERS (generally known as MAUD DE KYME), widow of Simon de Kyme, of Sotby, Burgh, Croft, Elkington, Friskney, and Winthorpe, Lincolnshire (died shortly before 30 July 1248), and daughter of William de Ferrers, Knt., 5th Earl of Derby, by his 1st wife, Sibyl, 3rd daughter of William Marshal, Knt., 4th Earl of Pembroke (or Striguil), hereditary Master Marshal [see FERRERS 7 for her ancestry]. She was born about 1230. Maud was co-heiress in 1245 to her uncle, Anselm Marshal, Earl of Pembroke, by which she inherited the manor of Carbury, co. Kildare, Ireland and a third part of the seal of the chancery of co. Kildare, Ireland. They had four daughters, Joan, Sibyl, Mabel, and Cecily. In 1249 he and his 1st cousin, Nicholas Poyntz, were called to warranty by John de la Stane for 1/2 knight's fee in Fisherton, Wiltshire. The same year he reached agreement regarding the dower of his grandfather, William Malet's widow, Alice Basset. In 1252 the king confirmed his demise of the manors of Chewton, Compton Dundon, Midsomer Norton, Shepton Mallet, and Welton, Somerset to the Abbot and convent of St. Augustine, Bristol until the abbot and convent receive £224 which they borrowed from some foreign merchants for his use. In 1255 he made homage to the Abbot of Glastonbury for 10 knights' fees. In 1257 he granted the canons of St.-Hilaire the right of usage which he had in the woods of Champagne, for which the canons in turn granted him the third part of a wood between Ferriere and the road leading from Champagne to Chateau-Larcher.

In 1275 the king ordered Emetic Bechet to deliver to him the king's horse to the use of the said Amaury's brother, William de Rochechouart, for the purpose of waging a duel in the parts of Limoges. In 1275-6 he and his wife, Maud, arraigned an assize of novel disseisin against Philip de Kyme and others touching a tenement in Skegness, Lincolnshire. In 1276 he and his wife, Maud, granted letters to attorney to Benard de Coudroy, they then about to proceed with the king's license to parts beyond the seas.

I have two photos of Jemima Ann - one with a son and one in a family grouping with her husband Children. I also have some photos of the Hales Hotel in Junction Utah. BIOGRAPHY: 1. Tom Kermen's email of 19 Jan 2003, Kermen@att.net, included the following letter from Wanda Hales, elderly aunt of his wife Karen Viola Hales. Wanda indicates the following information was given by Mary Ann Jensen (wife of Orval Woodruff Hales) as told to her by Jemima Ann: "Jemima Ann Adair was born March 27, 1863 at a small town called 'The Muddy' just over the Arizona line. Mother was Ann Chestnut Adair. Father was George Washington Adair. Another family by the name of Carson was at this same place at the same time. Jemima Ann's mother died at the time of her birth and the Carson family had just lost their new born baby. George Adair gave Jemima Ann to the Carson family to raise as their own. The Carson family then moved to Parowan. She always thought they were her parents until she married when she was told her real name. She married Charles Henry Hales the 29th of March 1878 just two days past her 15th birthday. They settled in Kanarra where her first boy was born. She was married in polygamy as the third wife. Two more sons were born to her at Kanarra. In 1885 they homesteaded a farm in Junction where she spent the rest of her life. A daughter, May, died in 1895 at age 6 from a typhoid epidemic. Her husband also contracted typhoid which caused complications and left him a semi-invalid. They bought a town lot and built a large hotel in 1902-1903 with the help of her boys. She had eight children including a set of twins. Charles Henry Hales was a carpenter by trade. He built a large recreation hall for the community before he built the hotel. He also made all the caskets for the burials at that time. Charles Henry Hales died in 1908 [error: should be 1907]. Jemima Ann worked hard all her life, first on the farm and later running the hotel. She died Jan. 2, 1919." [Kerry's commentary: It appears Jemima may have been with grandfather in 1870 as noted in the 1870 census as cited above; however, Valentine Carson is also still there and and has not yet moved to Parowan where he appears in 1880 census. I have no documentary proof yet that the Carson family adopted Jemima Ann but I have no reason not to believe so. What is clear is that she was not with her father George and she does end up in Parowan when she marries even though George was never there. Valentine Carson is a cousin of George Adair - see his notes for more detail in this regard. Valentine is the only Carson that is in all the right places at the right times. Additionally his daughter Hannah Marie or Mariah was stillborn either 14 May 1863 or 1 Nov 1863 in Washington, Utah according to Ancestral File - Jemima was born 27 Mar 1863 and her mother Ann Chestnut died at the same time. Perhaps the George's grief of losing his wife motivated him to give up for adoption the daughter born of that death. Jemima's older brother, George W. Adair, remained with his father.] 2. Per 25 Feb 2003 email from Harold Cahoon, local Washington, Utah, historian 3. Mentioned in the book "Pioneer Women of Faith and Fortitude," Daughters of Utah Pioneers, p. 510, photo in article: "Hannah Waggle Carson, b. 10 Dec 1842 at Hancock Co., IL; d. 1 Apr 1929 at Parowan, Iron, UT; parents are Jacob Waggle and Mary Vancil; pioneer of 1851/1852 in the Harrison Wagon Train; m.

Her mother married Thomas Adair. In the year of 1852, Hannah was nine years old when she came with her family across the Plains. They were in Captain Harrison's Wagon Company and passed through many hardships on the journey westward. When they reached the Salt Lake Valley, they settled at Salt Creek which is now Nephi. Then her family was called to Washington County to settle the country and this was where she met Valentine Carson. They went back to Nephi to be married and she became his second wife. Hannah's husband made his second trip across the Plains to bring Saints to the Valley which took him seven months, returning to Washington County where they lived through many hardships together. Later, when the St. George Temple was being built, Valentine and Hannah moved to St. George. Valentine did a great deal to help in building the temple. Hannah helped by cooking for the men who worked in the temple. When the temple was completed, they did work for their dead. In the year 1877, they moved with their family to Kanarra. In 1879, the moved to Parowan where they lived for several years, then they moved onto a homestead in the west part of Parowan Valley. When the World War was on, the younger women were sewing for the Red Cross and the older ladies were knitting socks. Hannah knit 36 pair of socks for the soldiers. Besides raising eleven children of her own, she helped to raise her husband's son by a first wife and also a little girl of George Adair's which she nursed and cared for as her own." 4. From the book "History of Piute County" by Linda King Newell, pp. 208-213, has the following sad story about Emma Carson, daughter of Valentine Carson. Valentine was the son of Samuel Carson and Eliza Jane Adair (daughter of Thomas Adair and Rebecca Brown). Ann Hales in the story is Jemima Ann Adair, daughter of George Washington Adair and his first wife Ann Chestnut who was adopted by Valentine and his wife when Ann Chestnut Adair died in childbirth. Jemima Ann Adair had married Charles Henry Hales. Valentine Carson first married Mary Ann Adair who died in 1861 and who George's first cousin from his uncle Thomas. Valentine's second wife was then Hannah Waggle who is mentioned in the story: "Tragedy at Blue Springs. In 1908 the Utah Dept. of Fish and Game hired John 'Jack' D. Morrill of Junction to operate the fish hatchery at Blue Springs in Garfield County. The hatchery would help restock the fished-out waters in Piute and Garfield Counties with rainbow and eastern brook trout... One contemporary described him as 'a very intelligent man and a very religious man (who) was kind to everyone... same with his wife, Emma.' Born in Kanarraville and raised in Parowan, Emma Carson met Jack Morrill in Junction, where she had gone as a teenager to work for her adopted sister, Ann Hales, who ran a hotel. She was 18 and he 22 when they married in 1893... In 1908 Jack and Emma Morrill moved their four children to the Blue Springs fish hatchery... Although the family was often isolated by deep snows throughout much of the winter, they did have a phone that hooked them to Parowan and also to the Sevy Ranch on the Panguitch side of the mountain... Emma's widowed mother, Hannah Waggle Carson, spent seven summers at Blue Springs with the family, helping her daughter with children and meals. In those beautiful summer months they entertained visitors with a crank freezer full of homemade ice cream and 'lots of fresh fish.' The two women fed 'people by the dozen.' Emma would remember her eight years there as some of her happiest... The winter of 1915-16 turned particularly nasty and the Morrill family was snowed in at Blue Springs for most of December and January. According to one account, 14' snowdrifts piled 'almost to the eves of their porch.' By 26 Jan. the weather lifted. Eager to have news from family and friends, Jack called his brother Jim in Panguitch and asked him to bring their mail up to the Sevy Ranch the next day and he would meet him there. That night Emma wrote several letters for him to give to Jim to post, including one to her sister Rebecca, in which she expressed her uneasiness with her husband's venture. Emma watched Jack leave on horseback in a light snow at 4:00 a.m. on Tuesday morning. It was eleven miles to the Sevy Ranch, so he agreed to call her from the William Prince ranch house - vacant during the winter - at the south end of Panguitch Lake where there was a telephone. The call came at around 6:00 a.m. - it had taken him two hours to go three miles. The horse was exhausted from fighting the deep snow, so he told Emma he would leave it in the barn there. He proceeded on snowshoes down the mountain, leaving his warm outer coats strapped to his saddle. At about noon Jack reached the Sevy Ranch tired and hungry. Jim and the Sevy family greeted him warmly. They had been worried when the storm began to intensify and he had not arrived. He called Emma to tell her he had arrived safely and he would be starting back soon. At Blue Springs the storm had turned to a raging blizzard with high winds. Emma begged him to stay there until it passed. He assured her he would be alright after he had eaten and rested and that the storm wouldn't last long. He said he would call her again when he got to the Prince ranch where his horse was. As he shouldered 25 pounds of Christmas mail and packages in two packs the Sevys tried to persuade him to wait it out. Worried about his own family, and certain he would be alright, he disappeared into the tempest. This storm proved so furious that it blew out a number of large windows in Panguitch. In the mountains, four feet of new snow fell on drifts already ten to twelve feet high. An anxious Emma fought the snow and wind to the barn where she did evening chores, milking their two cows, feeding the horses and bringing in more firewood. For two days and two nights they watched and waited as the storm raged, plunging temperatures 23 degrees below zero. Emma and twelve-year-old Belle took turns around the clock cranking the telephone to try to get a message over the storm-damaged lines to someone in Parowan or at Sevy's Ranch to tell them Jack had not returned. At one point Emma turned to Belle and said, 'If you will stay with the children I believe I can put on those snowshoes and go out and find Daddy.' The youngsters 'cried and begged her not to go,' so she didn't. Finally, at Parowan, on 27 January Clara Matheson Benson at the telephone switchboard noticed a faint signal and received the news from Emma Morrill. Clara's husband, Philip Benson, began organizing a search party. At a mass meeting that evening the opinion was expressed that the storm was too dangerous to send anyone out into it; however, Fred Bruhn, John Dalton, and John C. Gould volunteered to join Benson. The searchers left at five o'clock the next morning. With the telephone lines to Panguitch down, Clara Benson and her father decided to send a telegram there for help. It had to go from Parowan to Cedar City, then through a number of other stations to San Francisco and back through Salt Lake City to Panguitch. It cost $14.75 - a hefty sum in those days. The telegram read: 'Regardless of cost of distance and rush, John Morrill missing from Blue Springs Hatchery. Must have help. 4 Parowan men already gone. - Simon A. Matheson, Clara M. Benson.' When the message arrived in Panguitch, men there also organized a search party. Finally the blizzard abated. Emma ventured outside again. Snow had drifted over the house. She and Melvin cleared a path to the barn and with an ax chopped the ice from the door. She fed the animals and milked the cows. Returning to the house, she again talked on the phone with Clara. By late afternoon the men from Parowan reached the ridge above Panguitch Lake. They could see two men carrying something toward William Prince's cabin on the west side of the lake. Frank Worthen and Ruby Syrett had found John Morrill's frozen body. He had fallen face first into the snow, just 75 feet from the Prince ranch house. The Parowan men reached the cabin a short time later as did John Gould from Panguitch. They loaded the body onto a makeshift toboggan made from a 'cheese board.' Worthen and several men from both groups took the body to Sevy's Ranch. Benson, Syrett, and another Panguitch man went on to Blue Springs, reaching the Morrill family at about 11:00 p.m. The grieving Emma welcomed them with great relief. The men prepared their supper that night an insisted that Emma and the children eat as well. When they told her they wanted to take the family out to Panguitch, she asked them to leave them there, 'she couldn't stand to think of the suffering they would have to go through to take her out,' Clara Benson wrote. The men fixed breakfast the next morning while Emma packed a few things and got the children ready to go. They found the large metal vat that had been used to prepare fish food and used it as a sleigh. It was about five-by-eight feet, with eight-inch sides. The men piled hay in the bottom, helped the grief-stricken widow and the five children climb in, and placed heated rocks in the blankets tucked around them. At first they pulled the sleigh themselves until Panguitch men with horses met them. Quantities of food sent by the people of Panguitch awaited them at the Sevy Ranch. They stayed the night, and the next morning a bobsled took them on to Panguitch, where they spent the next night. The following day, someone with an automobile, one of the few in the country, took the family on to Junction. John L. Morrill's funeral was the largest anyone could remember. People came from all over the county and from Panguitch and Parowan as well. He was buried In Junction, where Emma and the children continued to live. Morrill had sold their house and land the year before, but his father persuaded the buyers to sell it back to Emma. By the time she had regained the property and taken care of debts and bills, there was little left. Emma's mother came from Parowan to help with household chores and the children so Emma could take a job. She became the janitor for the courthouse, the school, and the church. The job included starting the fires each morning and carrying out the ashes... Belle Morrill went to work for the telephone company as an operator when she turned 15. A year later, in 1918, the telephone company rented Emma Morrill's front room for the switchboard office. Belle became head operator, and Emma and Melvin assisted her when she needed help... On 21 Jan. 1920 Emma Morrill married a widower 20 years her senior, George Davies... Davies helped raise Emma's five children, and the marriage produced two more Children... In the 1930's the couple sold their home and bought the Junction hotel on Main Street [presumably the Hales' Junction Hotel of Charles Henry and Jemima Ann Adair Hales?]... Emma ran the hotel until George died in June 1951 - just four days before his ninetieth birthday. Emma's sons took the hotel sign down after George's funeral and told their seventy-year-old mother it was time for her to stop working so hard. Emma Carson Morrill Davies lived 20 more years. She died in a Richfield rest home on 19 Feb. 1967 at age 90 and is buried in the Junction cemetery beside John Morrill and their sons LaBaron and Joe Elwood." 5. This was recently found in Aug. 2003 by Sherril Clegg who was given the following typed story from a volunteer at the Kanab, Utah City Museum who is related to Valentine Carson. It is anonymous yet clearly knowledgeable as to two related events that were not known to most of us until only very recently. It appears to have been written by a grandchild of Eliza Jane Adair (Grandmother Price) who first married Samuel Carson in Alabama then later John Price after Samuel died. Eliza was the daughter of Thomas Adair and Rebecca Brown. She had a son from a first marriage, Valentine, who lost in 1861 his first wife, Mary Ann Adair, who was his first cousin by being a daughter of Thomas Jefferson Adair, Jr., a brother to Eliza Jane Adair. Valentine remarried Hannah Waggle, a step-sister, to his first wife. Valentine and Hannah's first child was stillborn and this tells of the May 1863 birth of their evidently premature baby who died at birth. Valentine had another first cousin, George Washington Adair, who was the son of Samuel Jefferson Adair, brother to both Eliza and Thomas J. Adair, Jr. During childbirth of the second child of George and his first wife Ann Chestnut, Ann died but evidently his Aunt Eliza, the midwife was able to save the baby who was named Jemima Ann. Apparently Eliza was able to arrange for Valentine's family to raise Jemima Ann. It should be noted that even though the essence of the story is correct, the timing is off a bit since George loses his wife late March 1863 whereas Hannah loses her child in mid-May of the same year. Both lived near Washington, Utah. Apparently "Grandmother Price" had a guiding influence in both family's lives.[Kerry's note: Jemima became my ancestor thru her later marriage to Charles Henry Hales. If it had been differently, I wouldn't be here to keep sending your pesky emails.] The story: "A Joy Realized. The scent of simmering greens floated out to Valentine Carson as he completed his evening's chores after a long hard day's labor on the new canal. As he neared the house, he was sure that something unusual was astir, as he could see his mother, Grandmother Price, bustling about. In those days of early pioneering in Dixie land, a good faithful soul like Grandmother Price was a godsend to expectant mothers. She was throughout all the Dixie County and as far out as Pioche, Nevada for her helpfulness to those in need of medical assistance. And, so now as Valentine greeted her, his worries began afresh for he knew his child to be should not arrive for at least two more months. 'Step quietly, my son,' said his mother as he came into the crudely built house. 'Hannah must rest as much as possible or she may have to meet the same disappointment as she did a year ago. I do hope she will not lose this baby as you know how she has planned for and yearns for one.' Their scant meal was eaten in silence with a prayer in their humble hearts for the little mother to be. No word was spoken, yet each knew the other's thoughts. Both knew that the angels of life and death were near. Hannah awakened suddenly calling first for her husband, then for her mother-in-law, Grandmother Price. All night they watched while the brave little woman went down into the valley of the shadows, coming back with no reward for her suffering. Death had scored another victory. Disappointed and grief stricken, she lay at times dozing to dream of the little form cuddled in her arms, awakening to find them empty, dozing again to see myriads of baby angels reaching out their tiny arms to greet yearning mothers, awakening to grasp the empty space. Oh! The longing of that mother's heart, the yearning during her waking hours for that tiny bundle nestling on her breast made hot and painful by its absence. Days dragged by and Grandmother Price received another summons. George Adair, cousin of Valentine Carson, rode over saying that his wife was very critically ill and needed the faithful mid-wife. Grandmother Price hurried away to keep watch while another little mother went down into the same valley to find another little child. But alas! This dear mother, while on her journey, battled with death who was the victor. Grandmother Price, though saddened by the death of her nephew's wife, had a song in her heart as she wrapped a tiny infant for a short journey to a new home. The ride To Washington was not far from the Adair's place, especially when she thought of the joy Hannah Carson would feel to nurse a hungry little child. The next morning a new strange light shown in Hannah's eyes as the dear old nurse made her comfortable for a new day. The longing for the joy of motherhood was partially realized at last." BIRTH: 1.

I also have on file a handwritten map of this cemetery where someone identified 42 names and their locations. On this list are the four individuals above and they are buried in the northeast corner. None of the other 38 names appear connected to my family history. The compiler of the information does state that the names of many others are long forgotten. OBITUARY: 1.

Birth, baptism, death, and burial records found in Kharkov Panteleimonovskaya Church by Konnor Petersen. Orthodox church.

Witnesses: Kharkov 2nd Guild merchant Petr Davidov Aleksandrov and widow of captain Olga Vasiliyeva Vysheslavceva (Вышеславцева) the sacrament of baptism was performed by a priest Vasily Vetukhov and deacon Nikolay Sokolskiy. Death records 1894. Page 382 (back of the page) - 383 10/12 December – Nobleman Nikolay Lvov Filonov his daughter Aleksandra 10 months from infant; the burial was performed by a priest Vasily Vetukhov and deacon Nikolay Sokolskiy, buried in the city cemetery. Email dated 30 Jan 2019 from researcher which accompanied above research; Dennis Baranov, rusgen.info@gmail.com: The work goes slowly because according to the rules of the archive the local researcher gets only a few volumes in a month. And we try to order and look through the volumes as quickly as possible. 1. We've looked through Blagoveshchenskaya church 1852 (Records group 40, inventory 105, vol. 10). Filonov surname is not mentioned anywhere - neither in births, nor in marriages or deaths, not in witnesses. 2. Panteleimonovskaya church 1888, 1889, 1890, 1891 (Records group 40, inventory 121, vol. 17). Filonov surname is not mentioned anywhere - neither in births, nor in marriages or deaths, not in witnesses. 3. Panteleimonovskaya church 1892, 1893, 1984, 1895, 1896, 1897. There are only records of birth and death for 1894. The report on this volume is attached. 4. For further research there is a suggestion to look through Krestovozdvizhenskaya and Ioannobogoslovskaya churches for 1888 - 1892 Panteleimonovskaya church was built in 1885 and part of parishioners from Krestovozdvizhenskaya and Ioannobogoslovskaya church were transfered to Panteleimonovskaya church. There is always an unusual research when it comes to nobility because they always traveled performing orders as officials. And we see in church books that the birth of children were in different churches. At this stage of the research I think that it will be right to stick to Krestovozdvizhenskaya and Ioanno-Bogoslovskaya churches. | Filonov, Aleksandra Nikolayevna (I3791)
