1. “Royal Ancestry: A Study in Colonial & Medieval Families,†Douglas Richardson (2013):
“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.

2. “Royal Ancestry: A Study in Colonial & Medieval Families,†Douglas Richardson (2013):
“WILLIAM DE CANTELOWE, Knt., of Leigh, Dorset, Ellesborough and Mentmore, Buckinghamshire, Meole Brace, Shropshire, Barcheston and Studley, Warwickshire, Caine, Wiltshire, etc., Steward of the Household of John, Count of Mortain, 1198, Sheriff of Worcestershire, 1200-15, Sheriff of Warwickshire and Leicestershire, 1201-4, 1209-23, itinerant Justice in Staffordshire, 1203, Sheriff of Herefordshire, 1204-5, Steward of the King's Household, 1204-22, a Norman by birth. He married MASCELINE (or MAZRA) DE BRACY (or BRASCY, BRACI), daughter of Audulf de Bracy, of Meole Brace, Shropshire, Eaton Bray, Bedfordshire, Mentmore, Buckinghamshire, etc. They had four sons, William, Knt., Robert, Walter [Bishop of Worcester], and Matthew [Rector of Ribston, Yorkshire and Alvechurch, Worcestershire], and one daughter, (wife of Thurstan de Montfort). He witnessed two acts of King John while John was still an earl in 1198. The first was dated 12 July 1198 when William was styled 'tune senescallus;' the second was dated 4 Dec. 1198, just a few months before King Richard's death. William became one of the king's stewards of the household with Peter de Stokes and Robert de Thornham. In 1203 the king granted him lands in Great Bowden and Market Harborough, Leicestershire to hold during pleasure; William in turn entrusted the manors to his brother, Roger Orget. He took part in the ineffectual expedition to Poitou in 1205. The same year he was granted the manor of Eaton Bray, Bedfordshire, in exchange for 300 marks and the manor of Cockeswall; Eaton Bray subsequently became the head of the Cantelowe barony. In 1208 he was granted custody of the see of Worcester, and was a justice in Nottinghamshire. In 1209 he settled a dispute which he had with the Prior of Dunstaple regarding 50 acres in Shortgrave, Bedfordshire; he quitclaimed the said 50 acres to the Prior, as well as 20 acres in Eaton, Bedfordshire, which was part of the land which the Prior claimed by virtue of a grant made by Audulf de Bracy, father of Masceline, wife of William. He and William Briwerre supervised elections to the vacant sees of York and Carlisle in 1214. Wendover's description of him as one of John's "evil counselors" probably owes much to his role as a gaoler of baronial hostages. Wendover also suggests that Cantelowe may have wavered in his loyalty after the rebel seizure of London in 1215, but this is belied by the stream of royal writs sent to him in 1215-16. In 1215 he also witnessed the royal declaration of free election to sees and abbeys. He took the side of the king in his war with the barons. In 1215-16 he was granted a number of manors belonging to rebels, and was commissioned to treat with those who might return into the king's peace. In 1216 he was granted letters of presentation to the advowson of the church of Preston, Warwickshire, the gift belonging to the king because the land of Thurstan de Montfort was in his hand. In 1217 he was at the Siege of Mountsorrel and at the Battle of Lincoln. He presented to the churches of Ridlington, Rutland, 1217, 1218, 1221, and Hinxworth, Hertfordshire, 1218. In 1218 he witnessed the treaty of Worcester with Llywelyn ap Iorwerth, and was an itinerant justice in Bedfordshire. The same year the Sheriff was ordered to inform the king why he had disseised William of seven hides of land in Eaton. In 1219 he was a commissioner investigating encroachments on the royal forests in Oxfordshire, Buckinghamshire, and Herefordshire. His wife, Masceline, seems to have been living in 1220. Sometime before 1223, he appears to have acquired some of William Mattel's lands at Totternhoe, Bedfordshire. In 1223 he joined the armed demonstration of Ranulph, Earl of Chester at the Tower against the government of Hubert de Burgh; he submitted at Northampton on 30 December. He joined the royal Siege of Bedford in the summer of 1224. In 1225 he was allowed £1084 at the exchequer for war expenses under King John; this cancelled a list of debts that included increments due on county farms, scutages, and the fine for the custody of the lands and heir of Robert Chandos. As "William de Cantelowe, senior," he presented his son, [Master] Walter de Cantelowe, to the church of Bulwick, Northamptonshire in 1227. He obtained a confirmation of the manor of Aston Cantlow, Warwickshire in 1227 and 1231. In 1227 Richard Fitz William was called to warranty by William de Cantelowe for a third part of the manor of Ellesborough, Buckinghamshire, which Geva Basset, widow of the said Richard's uncle, also named Richard Fitz William, claimed in dower. He served in Wales in 1228, Brittany in 1230, and Wales again in 1231. In 1229, following the death of his brother, Roger Orget, the king re-granted him the manors of Great Bowden and Market Harborough, Leicestershire. In 1230 he received confirmation from the crown of the vill, market, and manor of Bingley, Yorkshire which he had of the gift and feoffment of Ranulph, Earl of Chester and Lincoln. In 1232 he impleaded William son of William Corbicun to acquit him of service which Thomas, Earl of Warwick, demanded for lands in Barcheston and Studley, Warwickshire. He was heir c.1234 to his uncle, Fulk de Cantelowe, by which he inherited lands in Calstone Wellington, Wiltshire. He signed the confirmation of Magna Carta in 1236. On 23 October 1236 the king granted to him that he may render the 32 marks which were exacted from him by summons of the Exchequer, namely 30 marks for the prest of Hereford and 2 marks for the debts of Robert Barat his brother. At an unknown date, he granted the chapel in his court of Eaton Bray, Bedfordshire one messuage and 12 acres of land in Eaton Bray, six measures of wheat yearly, and 22 solidates of annual rent; with a further grant of 50s. yearly, to support a second chaplain, and of a croft to keep a lamp burning in the chapel. SIR WILLIAM DE CANTELOWE died at Reading, Berkshire 7 April 1239, and was buried at Studley Priory, Warwickshire.

Children of William de Cantelowe, by Masreline (or Mazra) de Bracy:
i. WILLIAM DE CANTELOWE, Knt. [see next].
ii. ROBERT DE CANTELOWE, of Meole Brace, Shropshire and Bingley, Yorkshire. In 1254 the king granted him permission to use the liberties and quittances in his manor of Bingley, Yorkshire as his father, William de Cantelowe, used by the king's charter. The same year he was granted free warren in all his demesne lands in Bingley, Yorkshire and Meules, Shropshire. Francisque-Michel Rdles Garcons 1 (1885): 470, 497. C.P.R 1247-1258 (1908): 305, 323.
iii. [MASTER] WALTER DE CANTELOWE, King's clerk, Archdeacon of Stafford, Bishop of Worcester. He was presented to a series of parish livings, i.e, Eyton in 1208, Burton and Worfield in 1215, Long Itchington, Rampisham, Preston, Priors Hardwick, and a moiety of Stokes in 1216, Hinxworth, Hertfordshire in 1219, Penrith, Cumberland in 1222, and Bulwick, Northamptonshire in 1227, and finally, on 22 July 1231, to a canonry and prebend in Lichfield Cathedral. He was evidently a pluralist, and as such was not wholly disinterested when, at the legatine council of 1237, he pleaded the cause of many noble pluralists, "who have until now lived honourably, giving what hospitality they could and dispensing alms with open doors," who were threatened with impoverishment by being reduced to a single benefice each. He served as king's proctor at the Roman court in 1227 and 1229. He acted as justice in eyre for several counties in 1232, and received a number of papal commissions to serve as a judge-delegate or to execute papal mandates. In January 1235 he was one of three envoys sent to France to bear truce proposals to King Louis IX and to swear on King Henry III's behalf to observe the conditions of the truce. He was elected as Bishop of Worcester 30 August 1236; his election received royal assent 9 September. In April 1237 he was ordained priest at Viterbo by Pope Gregory IX, who consecrated him 3 May. In October 1237 he was enthroned at Worcester in the presence of the papal legate, Cardinal Otto, the Archbishop of Canterbury, and the King and Queen of Scots. In 1237, as bishop-elect of Worcester, he again attended the papal court on the king's behalf. He proved himself a zealous diocesan bishop, sharing with Bishop Grosseteste of Lincoln a concern for the reform of abuses and the improvement of pastoral standards. The synodal statutes he promulgated for the Worcester diocese in 1240, frequently revised and updated, provided a model for the legislation of several of his episcopal colleagues. In 1240 he obtained papal sanction for a drive to remove married clergy from parishes and to deprive those who had succeeded their fathers in their benefices. He displayed the same energy in protecting and extending the temporal and spiritual rights of his see. He attended the Council of Lyons with other English prelates in 1245. In 1246 he stood with Robert Grosseteste in supporting the pope's right to receive financial aid from the clergy. In 1252 he supported Simon de Montfort against charges lodged by the king of extortion and mistreatment in Montfort's rule of Gascony. From 1255 onwards he was chief spokesman for the clerical opposition to King Henry's acceptance of the Sicilian crown for his second son, Edmund. In 1257 he was one of those sent to France to negotiate terms of a permanent peace. He played a leading role in the revolutionary events of the years 1258-65. At the Oxford parliament of June 1258 he was the only cleric chosen by the baronial side to serve on the committee of twenty-four which drafted the provisions of Oxford, and he was subsequently elected a member of the standing council imposed upon the king by the new constitution. In 1259 he was appointed one of the councillors to act as regents while the king was absent in France. Following King Henry's recovery of power in 1261, he remained a stalwart supporter of Montfort and an unyielding upholder of the provisions. He put his name to the baronial letters submitting the cause of the reformers to the arbitration of Louis IX, and his nephew, Thomas de Cantelowe, was entrusted with expounding the baronial case to Louis at Amiens. In March 1264, together with the bishops of Winchester, London, and Chichester, he held talks with the king's representatives at Brackley and Oxford, offering baronial acceptance of Louis' verdict on condition that King Henry expelled unacceptable aliens from court and allowed the council to nominate his ministers. In May, he and Henry de Sandwich, Bishop of London, accompanied Montfort's army on the march to Lewes, and on the eve of the battle made a last effort to mediate between Montfort and the king. But after this overture failed, Cantilupe exhorted Montfort's troops to confess their sins, gave them absolution, and blessed them. He was subsequently present at the Battles of Evesham, 1264, and Lewes, 1265. WALTER DE CANTELOWE, Bishop of Worcester, died at his manor of Blockley, Gloucestershire 12 Feb. 1266, and was buried by the monks beside the high altar in Worcester Cathedral. A zealous pastor, a scholar, and an idealist, as the spiritual mentor of one of the most radical political movements of the middle ages, he ranks among the greatest ecclesiastical leaders of his generation.

In 1239 Pope Gregory IX granted a dispensation to "Matthew de Cantelupe, clerk of the diocese of York, brother to the Bishop of Worcester, allowing him to hold more benefices than one." At an unknown date, he reached agreement with Philip, Abbot of Bordesley, relative to the fishery in the water called `Arewe' and common of pasture in the woods and fields in `Osmerleg' and in the wood called ‘Sortwode.'

“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."
