Sometime in the period, 1157-66, he witnessed an exchange of land between Roger de Tichborne and the Bishop of Winchester. He held a fee in Cherhill, Wiltshire of new enfeoffment in 1166. Sometime in the period, c.1166-90, Elias de Studley conveyed to him his land held of the fee of William Malbanc in Heytesbury and Cherhill, Wiltshire at an annual rent of 20s. In 1184 he accounted for the farm of Kinver before the itinerant justices in Oxfordshire. He married (1st) before 25 Jan. 1184/5 BEATRICE DE SAY, daughter and co-heiress of William de Say, of Kimbolton, Huntingdonshire, and Saham, Norfolk [see SAY 4.i for her ancestry]. They had three sons, Geoffrey de Mandeville [5th Earl of Essex], William de Mandeville, Knt. [6th Earl of Essex], and Henry [Dean of Wolverhampton], and two daughters, Maud and Alice. In 1186-7 King Henry II granted him the manor of Cherhill, Wiltshire, to hold in fee and inheritance by the service of one knight, as his father Peter or his brother Robert held it. In the period, 1186-89, he and his two half-brothers, William and Hugh de Buckland, witnessed a charter of William, Earl of Ferrers, to Ralph Fitz Stephen. In the period, c.1189-99, he founded Shouldham Abbey, Norfolk, to which he gave the manor and the advowson of the church of Shouldham, Norfolk, together with the churches of Shouldham Thorpe, Stoke Ferry, and Wereham, Norfolk. In 1190 he obtained the lands to which his wife's grandmother, Beatrice, had become heir on the death of her nephew, William de Mandeville, Earl of Essex. From Easter 1190 he received the third penny of the county of Essex. Sometime in the period, 1190-1213, Sibyl de Fiennes, daughter of Pharamus of Boulogne, conveyed to him 300 acres on Hyngeshill [?in Quarrendon, Buckinghamshire] at an annual rent of an unmewed sparrowhawk, or 12d. Sometime in the period, 1190-1213, he granted the manor of Cherhill, Wiltshire to his younger son, William de Mandeville. He was one of those excommunicated for his part in removing Longchamp in 1191. About 1195 he and his half-brothers, William and Geoffrey de Buckland, witnessed a charter of Geoffrey Fitz Nigel de Gardino to William de Ultra la Haia. In 1195 he owed £4 4s. in the vill of Lydford, Devon for making the market of the king there. His wife, Beatrice, died in childbed before 19 April 1197. Her body was initially buried in Chicksands Priory, Bedfordshire, but later transferred to Shouldham Priory, Norfolk. In 1198 Eustace de Balliol and his wife, Pernel (widow of Geoffrey's brother Robert), quitclaimed all their right to lands in Salthrop (in Wroughton), Wiltshire to Geoffrey, in return for 30 marks silver. He was present at the Coronation of King John 27 May 1199, where he was girded with the sword of earl. In the period, 1199-1216, Geoffrey gave Shouldham Priory, Norfolk twelve shops, with the rooms over them, in the parish of St. Mary's Colechurch, London, for the purpose of sustaining the lights of the church and of providing the sacramental wine. Sometime in or before 1199, he made a grant to William de Wrotham, Archdeacon of Taunton, of all his land of Sutton at Hone, Kent to make a hospital for the maintenance of thirteen poor men and three chaplains in honour of the Holy Trinity, St. Mary, and All Saints. He was granted a weekly market and yearly fair at Amersham, Buckinghamshire and Kimbolton, Huntingdonshire in 1200. In the period, 1200-13, he made notification that Abbot Ralph and the convent of Westminster had at his petition confirmed to the nuns of Shouldham all tithes pertaining to them in Clakelose Hundred, Norfolk, in return for £1 10s. due annually to the almoner of Westminster. In the same period, Abbot Ralph and the convent of Westminster granted him the vill of Claygate, Surrey to hold of them for his lifetime. In 1204 King John granted him the manor of Winterslow, Wiltshire, and, in 1205, the honour of Berkhampstead, Hertfordshire with the castle at a fee farm of £100 per annum. Geoffrey married (2nd) before 29 May 1205 (date of grant) AVELINE DE CLARE, widow of William de Munchensy, of Swanscombe, Kent, Winfarthing and Gooderstone, Norfolk, etc. (died shortly before 7 May 1204) [see CLARE 4.ii], and daughter of Roger de Clare, Earl of Clare or Hertford, by Maud, daughter and heiress of James de Saint Hilary [see CLARE 4 for her ancestry]. They had one son, John, Knt, and four daughters, Hawise, Cecily, ___, and Maud. He campaigned against the Welsh in 1206 and 1210. He was granted a significant part of the lands forfeited by Normans, including the manors of Depden and Hatfield Peverel, Essex, and other lands in Norfolk and Suffolk, all worth over £100 per annum. In 1207 the king confirmed his possession of the manor of Notgrove, Gloucestershire, which Geoffrey had by the gift of John Eskelling. The same year he was granted a weekly market and yearly fair at Moretonhampstead, Devon. Sometime before 1212, he was granted the manor of Gussage Dynaunt (or Gussage St. Michael), Dorset, which manor was forfeited by Roland de Dinan. At some unspecified date, when already earl, he granted all his right in St. Peter's chapel in Drayton to the canons of St. Peter's Cathedral, York. He was the founder of the first church of Whitney Priory, Hampshire. SIR GEOFFREY FITZ PETER, Earl of Essex, died 14 October 1213, and was buried in Shouldham Priory, Norfolk. In 1213-4 the king commanded Geoffrey de Buckland to let the king have, at the price any others would give for them, the corn, pigs, and other chattels at Berkhampstead, Hertfordshire which belonged his brother, Geoffrey Fitz Peter, lately deceased. About 1214 his widow, Aveline, granted the canons of Holy Trinity, London, in frank almoin, a half mark quit rent out of her manor of Towcester, Northamptonshire, part of whose body is buried there. In 1221 the Prior of the Hospital of Jerusalem in England sued her regarding two virgates and five acres of land in Towcester, Northamptonshire. Aveline, Countess of Essex, died before 4 June 1225.

“ISABEL LE BIGOD, married (1st) GILBERT DE LACY (or LASCY), of Ewyas Lacy, Herefordshire, son and heir apparent of Walter de Lacy, Knt., of Weobley, Holme Lacy, Mansell Gamage, and Yarkhill, Herefordshire, Ludlow, Rock [Farm] (in Ludlow), and Stanton Lacy, Shropshire, lord of Meath, Ireland, by Margaret (or Margery), daughter of William de Brewes. Isabel's maritagium included lands in Great Connell, co. Kildare, Ireland. They had one son, Walter, and two daughters, Margery and Maud. Gilbert was hostage for his father in August 1215. GILBERT DE LACY died shortly before 25 Dec. 1230, and was buried in Llanthony Priory, Wales. His widow, Isabel, married (2nd) before 12 April 1234 JOHN FITZ GEOFFREY, Knt., of Shere, Surrey, Fambridge, Essex, Whaddon, Steeple Claydon, Quarrendon, and Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire, Redmarley Adam (in Great Witley), Worcestershire, etc., Sheriff of Yorkshire, 1234-6, Justiciar of Ireland, Justice of the Forest south of Trent, younger son of Geoffrey Fitz Peter, Knt., Earl of Essex, Justiciar of England, by his 2nd wife, Aveline, daughter of Roger de Clare, Earl of Clare [see ESSEX 2 for his ancestry]. He was born about 1205. They had two sons, John, Knt. [Lord Fitz John] and Richard, Knt. [Lord Fitz John], and four daughters, Maud, Isabel, Aveline, and Joan. In 1227 he sued the Abbot of Missenden for 22 acres of meadow in Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire in which the abbot had ingress only through Ralph de Chenduit to whom William [de Mandeville], Earl of Essex (brother of the said John), demised the meadow for a term. He was granted the manor of Steeple Claydon, Buckinghamshire about 1230 by Henry d'Oilly' his possession of the manor was confirmed by the king in 1232 following the death of Henry d'Oilly. In 1233 he was summoned to respond to Henry de Kemeseck regarding the right of presentation to the church of East Tilbury, Essex. John replied that that the church belonged to the hospital which his father, Geoffrey Fitz Peter, had built upon land purchased from Clement de Monasterio, who held it of the church. Clement was present and said that Geoffrey had taken the land from him by force. It was admitted that the land on which the hospital was built pertained to the church, which in its turn pertained to the ancestral fief of the earls at Pleshey. Consequently John lost his case. Sometime in the period, 1233-6, his half-sister, Maud de Mandeville, Countess of Essex and Hereford, quitclaimed to him 100s. which he owed her annually for Cherhill, Wiltshire. In 1234 she granted him the manor of Quarrendon, Buckinghamshire, he rendering to her the service due to the chief lord of the fee, as well as the service of a twentieth of a knight. In 1237 he was sent to the Council of Lyons to protest against the papal tribute. In 1240 the king granted him the manor of Ringwood, Hampshire, it being described as "of the lands of the Bretons." The king granted him the manor of Whaddon, Buckinghamshire in 1242, which Hugh d'Aubeney, Earl of Arundel, had surrendered to the king of the lands of the Normans. The same year the marriage of the sons and heirs of John de Vipont was granted to him for a fine of 200 marks. In 1243 Roger de Clere conveyed the manor of Twineham Benfield (in Twineham), Sussex to him. In 1253 the king granted him the cantred of the Isles of Thomon in Ireland. In 1254, at his instance, the king gave a charter to his nephew, Richard de la Rokele, for free warren in Richard's demesne lands in the counties of Kent, Wiltshire, and Essex, together with weekly markets and annual fairs at his manors of Wokenden, Essex and Marke Lavington, Wiltshire. SIR JOHN FITZ GEOFFREY died 23 Nov. 1258.
