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

“HUGH (or HUGUES) DE GOURNAY, seigneur of Gournay-en-Brie and Gaillefontaine, and lord of Houghton, Bedfordshire, Bledlow and Wendover, Buckinghamshire, Caister, Norfolk, Mapledurham, Oxfordshire, etc., son and heir, born about 1091 (of full age in 1112). During his minority, be was raised by King Henry I of England and his lands were administered by Drew de Mouchy his step-father. He married (1st) BEATRICE (or BEATRIX) DE VERMANDOIS, daughter of Hugh le Grand, Crépy, by Adele, daughter and heiress of Herbert IV, Count of Vermandois and Valois [see VERMANDOIS 4 for her ancestry]. They had one son, Hugh (died young). He joined Stephen, Count of Aumale, and others in 1118, in an attempt to place William Clito, son of Robert, Duke of Normandy, on the throne. He seised the castle of Plesssis and ravaged Norman terrritory. King Henry I crushed the revolt at Noyon in 1119, after which he submitted and was pardoned. He appears to have joined King Stephen at the Siege of Shrewsbury in 1138, for which he later rewarded with the manors of Wendover, Buckinghamshire and Houghton Regis, Bedfordshire. His wife, Beatrice, was living in 1144. About 1144 he and his son, Hugh, gave to the church of S. Leu for the soul of Beatrice his wife a rent at Cauvigriy. About 1144 he gave to the church of St. Leu the house of Roger the priest and his sister at Cauvigny. In the period, 1147-55, he witnessed a charter for his nephew, Roger de Mowbray. In 1147 he accompanied King Louis VII of France to the Holy Land. This crusade was unsuccessful and returned in 1149. He married (2nd) before 1162 (date of charter) MILICENT (or MELISENDE) DE COUCY, daughter of Thomas de Coucy (or de Marie), seigneur of Coucy, Marie, de la Fere and Boves, by his 2nd wife, Melisende, daughter and heiress of Guy de Crecy, Châtelain of la Ferte. They had two sons, Gerard and Hugh, and one daughter, Aidieve (wife of Nicholas de Stuteville, of Kimberley, Norfolk). During the revolt of Henry the Young King, Hugh and his son, Hugh, were captured by the rebels, who burned Gournay and extorted ransomes from its burgesses. Hugh's servants in turn plundered royal estates in Suffolk, and his manors of Bledlow and Houghton Regis were taken into royal hands in reprisal. He and his 2nd wife were benefactors of the Abbey of Bec. They founded the Abbey of Gaillefontaine in the period, 1144 64. HUGH DE GOURNAY died in 1181, said to be "very old." His wife, Milicent, survived him.

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

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