They had four sons, Roger, Knt. [6th Earl of Norfolk], Hugh, Knt., Ralph, Knt., and possibly William, and one daughter, Isabel. In 1215 he and his father joined the confederacy of the barons against the king. Both father and son were selected to be one of the twenty-five barons elected to guarantee the observance of Magna Carta, signed by King John 15 June 1215. In consequence, Hugh and his father were among the barons excommunicated by Pope Innocent III 16 Dec. 1215. He made homage for the Earldom of Norfolk 2 August 1221. In the period, 1221-5, he granted the homage and service of Hervey the baker and the tenement he held in Heveningharn, Suffolk to Sibton Abbey, Suffolk. In the same period, he granted the manor of Stockton, Norfolk to Hamo Lenveise. In the same period, he granted land in Mettingham, Suffolk to John Fitz Augustine.

They had one son, John, Knt. [7th Earl of Surrey], and one daughter, Isabel. In 1226-7 Mary daughter of William de Newmarch, of Cateby, Yorkshire, granted to Maud Bigot, countess of Warenne and Norfolk, the hermitage of St. Margaret's, Cateby on the Don, with land in Eadrnunde croft, and common of pasture for the cattle of the hermitage, rendering yearly to the grantor at Easter white gloves. In 1227 he joined the Earl of Cornwall at Stamford in his revolt against the king, but at Christmas was with the king at York. In 1229 he was about the make a voyage on the king's service. He was heir in 1234 to his sister, Isabel de Warenne, widow of Gilbert de l'Aigle. In 1236 he acted as Butler at the Coronation of Queen Eleanor of Provence, in place of his son-in-law, Hugh, Earl of Arundel. In 1238 he was cited to appear before Robert Grosseteste, Bishop of Lincoln, because mass has been celebrated in the earl's hall at Grantham, Lincolnshire. SIR WILLIAM DE WARENNE, 6th Earl of Surrey, died testate in London 27 May 1240, and was buried in the priory church of Lewes, Sussex. In the period, 1240-6 his widow, Maud, granted a tenement in Thorne, Yorkshire to Richard de Otley her chaplain. In 1241 she granted Sir Adam de Newmarch and his heirs a water-course and ditch in Balne, Yorkshire from Flaxcleyker to the Dike to be 8 feet wide and 4 feet deep. In the period, 1241-5, she granted land in Stockton, Norfolk to her son, Ralph le Bigod. Maud was co-heiress in 1245 to her brother, Anselm Marshal, 9th Earl of Pembroke, by which she inherited the marshalcy of England and honour of Chepstow, Monmouthshire. In 1246-8 she confirmed the union of Kilkenny Abbey with Duiske Abbey. In 1246-8 she granted three silver marks of annual rent to St. George's Nunnery, Thetford, Norfolk.

Children of Hugh le Bigod, by Maud Marshal:
i. ROGER LE BIGOD, Knt., 6th Earl of Norfolk, hereditary Steward of the Household, hereditary Warden of Romford Forest, Chief Justice Itinerant in cos. Essex and Hertford, 1234, Marshal of England, 1246 (in right of his mother), Warden of the Town and Castle of Tulac, 1249, Warden of the Coast of Norfolk and Suffolk, 1257, Privy Councillor, 1258, Joint Guardian of England, 1259, Constable of Colchester and Orford Castles, son and heir, born about 1209. He may have been the unnamed son of Hugh le Bigod who was held hostage by King John during the civil war of 1215-17, and whose capture perhaps occurred when Framlingham was surrendered to royalist forces in March 1216. He married at Alnwick, Northumberland 1 June 1225 ISABEL OF SCOTLAND, daughter of William the Lion, King of Scots, by Ermengarde, daughter of Richard de Beaumont, Vicomte of Beaumont [see SCOTLAND 4 for her ancestry]. They had no issue. While still under age, he entered into his inheritance in 1228. He was knighted by King Henry III at Gloucester in 1233. He unsuccessfully disputed Simon de Montfort's claim to the Stewardship at the Coronation of Queen Eleanor. In 1242 he served the king in the early part of the disastrous campaign in Poitou. In 1245 he was chief of the English delegation to the Council of Lyons, and chief of the plenipotentiarires to treat of peace between the Emperor and the Pope. The same year he repudiated his wife, nominally on the ground of consanguinity. He was compelled by ecclesiastical sentence to take her back in 1253. The king confirmed his mother's commission of the marshalcy to him in 1246. In 1253 he witnessed a sentence of excommunication and anathema against violators of the liberties of the church and of the realm. In 1254 he brought over the king's message to the Grand Council for a supply of money. In 1257 he was member of an abortive embassy to France to demand certain rights. In 1258 he served as one of the ambassadors to attend the conference at Cambray. His wife, Isabel, appears to have been living in Gloucestershire in October 1263. Her exact date of death is unknown, but she was buried in the Black Friars, London. In 1270 he wrote the king asking him to allow Roger, son of his brother Hugh, to be his attorney as Marshal. SIR ROGER LE BIGOD, 6th Earl of Norfolk, died 3 (or 4) July 1270, and was buried 10 July at Thetford, Norfolk. Clutterbuck Hist. & Antiqs. of Hertford 2 (1821): 510-511 (Marshal-Bigod ped.).

“WILLIAM MARSHAL, Knt., hereditary Marshal of England, Sheriff of Gloucestershire, 1189-94, 1198-1207, Sheriff of Sussex, 1193-1208, Warden of the Forest of Dean and Constable of St. Briavels Castle, 1194-1206, Constable of Lillebonne, 1202, Protector, Regent of the Kingdom, 1216-19, and, in right of his wife, Earl of Pembroke and Striguil, Lord of Leinster, probably born in 1146. In 1152 his father gave him as a hostage to King Stephen at the Siege of Newbury. At a later date, his father sent him to his cousin, William de Tancarville, Chamberlain of Normandy, with whom he remained for eight years as a squire. In 1167, while riding near the castle of Lusigan in Poitou with his uncle, Patrick, Earl of Salisbury, and Queen Eleanor, two of the Lusignan brothers attacked and killed Earl Patrick who was unarmed; William was wounded and taken prisoner while defending the Queen's retreat into the castle. Eventually he was ransomed by Queen Eleanor and returned to England. During the period, 1170-83, he was a member of the household of Henry "the Young King." In 1173 he supported Henry the Young King in his rebellion against King Henry II. Young Henry chose to knight him, and on his death bed in 1183, Henry charged him to carry his cross to the Holy Sepulchre. When William returned to England c.1187, King Henry II made him a member of his household. He was granted the manor of Cartmel, Lancashire by the king in 1187, where the following year he founded a priory for Regular canons of the order of St. Augustine. He was with King Henry II in France in 1188 and 1189. He was present at King Henry II's deathbed at Chinon in July 1189, and escorted the body to Fontevrault. He married in London in August 1189 ISABEL DE CLARE, daughter of Richard Fitz Gilbert [de Clare], 2nd Earl of Pembroke, by Eve, daughter of Dairmait Macmurchada, King of Leinster [see PEMBROKE 4 for her ancestry]. They had five sons, William, Knt. [Earl of Pembroke], Richard, Knt. [Earl of Pembroke], Gilbert, Knt. [Earl of Pembroke], Walter, Knt. [Earl of Pembroke and Lincoln], and Anselm [Earl of Pembroke], and five daughters, Maud, Isabel, Sibyl, Eve, and Joan. She was heiress in 1185-89 of her brother, Gilbert Fitz Richard (otherwise known as Gilbert de Strigoil). He was present at the Coronation of King Richard I in 1189, where he bore the gold scepter with the cross. Shortly afterwards he was appointed one of the subordinate Justiciars of England, first under Hugh, Bishop of Durham, and then under William de Longchamp. In 1190 he fined for 2,000 marks for a moiety of the lands of Walter Giffard, sometime Earl of Buckingham, including the manors of Chilton, Dorton, Long Crendon, and Loughton, Buckinghamshire, Caversham and Long Wittenham, Berkshire, and Wootton Rivers, Wiltshire, together with the fief of Longueville in Normandy. In 1191, when the Archbishop of Rouen superceded Longchamp, William became his chief assistant. When John, Count of Mortain (later King John) revolted in 1193, William besieged and took Windsor Castle. He was heir in 1194 to his elder brother, John Marshal, whereby he succeeded his brother as hereditary Master Marshal. He took part in the Siege of Nottingham Castle in 1194. From 1194 to 1199, he was almost continually in Normandy with King Richard I. One of Richard's last acts was to appoint him custodian of Rouen and the royal treasure there. He was present at the Coronation of King John in 1199. In 1200 the king confirmed the marshalship to him. He served John actively in Gascony, England, and Normandy. William may have paid a brief visit to Ireland in the winter of 1200-1. In 1201 he was granted a yearly fair to be held at the borough of Pembroke in Wales. In 1202 he loaned money to his kinsman, Geoffrey II, Count of Perche, who was preparing to go on crusade. In 1204 he was sent with Robert, Earl of Leicester as ambassadors to negotiate a truce with King Philippe Auguste of France. In 1204 he was granted a weekly market to be held in the vill of Castle Goodrich, Herefordshire. The same year he invaded Wales and captured Kilgerran. In 1206 he gave the Templars the advowson of the church of Speen, Berkshire. He spent most of his time in Ireland from 1207 to 1213. In 1213 he witnessed King John's charter of resignation to the Pope. He was given charge of the Castles of Haverfordwest, Carmarthen, Cardigan, and Gower, and Dunamase in Ireland. He was one of the few English earls to remain loyal to the king through the First Barons' War. He was one of the king's representatives at Runnymede in 1215. Following the death of King John in 1216, he was named by the king's council to serve as Regent of the Kingdom. In 1217 he routed the French and the rebel Barons at Lincoln. In Sept. 1217 he concluded the treaty of Lambeth with Prince Louis. In 1218 he was granted weekly markets to be held at his manors of Toddington, Bedfordshire, Speen, Berkshire, Long Crendon, Buckinghamshire, and Bosham, Sussex, and yearly fairs at Toddington, Bedfordshire and Sturminster Marshall, Dorset. During his lifetime, he founded and endowed monasteries at Voto (or Tintern Minor), Duiske (or Graig-na-Managh), and Kilkenny, in Ireland. He was also a benefactor to the chapter of Lisieux, the abbeys of Foucarmont, Gloucester, Tintern, Nutley, and St. Thomas, Dublin, the priories of Longueville, Bradenstoke, Pembroke, Pill, and Stanley, Holy Trinity and St. Kevin, Dublin, the Templars, and other religious bodies. SIR WILLIAM MARSHAL, Earl of Pembroke, died at Caversham, Berkshire 14 May 1219, and was buried in the Temple Church, London. His widow, Isabel, Countess of Pembroke, died 7 March 1220, and was buried at Tintern Abbey.

Children of William Marshal, Knt., by Isabel de Clare:
i. WILLIAM MARSHAL, Knt., 5th Earl of Pembroke, hereditary Master Marshal, hereditary Steward of Leinster, of Hampstead Marshall, Berkshire, Silchester, Hampshire, Hinxworth, Hertfordshire, Great Bedwyn, Wexcombe (in Great Bedwyn), and Wootton Rivers, Wiltshire, etc., joint Warden of Bamborough Castle, 1212, Constable (or Keeper) of Caerleon, Carmarthen, Cardigan, Ludgarshall, and Marlborough Castles, Receiver of the Exchange of all of England, 1217-21, Justiciar of Ireland, 1224-6, son and heir, born about 1190, in Normandy. In 1205 his father gave him to King John as a hostage for his loyalty; he was released in 1212. He married (1st) in 1214 ALICE DE BETHUNE, daughter of Baldwin de Bethune, Count of Aumale, by Hawise, daughter of William, Count of Aumale. They had no issue. Her dowry included the manor of Wantage, Berkshire. He joined the baronial opposition, and in Feb. 1214/5 he was present at the meeting of the barons at Stamford. In June he was elected one of the 25 Barons to ensure the execution of the provisions of Magna Carta. He was subsequently excommunicated by the Pope 11 Dec. 1215. His wife, Alice, was living Sept. 1215. She died probably about 1216, and was buried in St. Paul's Cathedral, London. In the period, 1215-19, he confirmed the legacy left by his former wife, Alice de Bethun, of 100s. from her manor of Luton, Bedfordshire to the dean and chapter of St. Paul's, London for the foundation of a chantry in the church of St. Paul's. In the same period, he also gave a rent of 20s. from his mill at Brache (in Luton), Bedfordshire to the church of St. Paul, London for the celebration of the obit of his wife, and for a light for her tomb. In April 1216 he had letters of safe conduct to go to his father. In May 1216 he was one of the Barons who joined Louis of France and did homage to him. In July 1216 he seized Worcester for Louis, but retreated when the Earl of Chester approached. In the autumn he deserted Louis and retired to Wales. In March 1216/7 he joined William Longespée, Earl of Salisbury in a revolt at Rye against Louis, who was only saved by the arrival of a French fleet. With Salisbury he besieged and took the Castles of Winchester and Southampton, after which he besieged and captured Marlborough Castle. He fought at the Battle of Lincoln 20 May 1217. In May 1219 he succeeded his father in the Earldom and estates, but he ceded the Norman lands to his brother Richard 20 May 1220. In 1223 he sailed from Ireland with a large force to fight the Welsh, recaputured his castles, defeated Llywelyn and compelled him to come to terms. He married (2nd) by betrothal dated 23 April 1224 ELEANOR OF ENGLAND, daughter of John, King of England, by his 2nd wife, Isabel, daughter and heiress of Ademar (or Aimar) III Taillefer, Count of Angoulême [see ENGLAND 5 for her ancestry]. She was born at Gloucester in 1215. Her maritagium included the manors of Brabourne and Sutton, Kent. They had no issue. In 1224 he wrote Hubert de Burgh the justiciar requesting justice for John Marshal his kinsman. Sometime before 1224 he enfeoffed Fulk Fitz Warin with the manor of Wantage, Berkshire. He was appointed one of the executors in the 1225 will of William Longespée, Earl of Salisbury. He was appointed joint Ambassador to France in 1225 and joint Ambassador to the German Congress at Antwerp in 1227. In 1229 Roger de Dauntsey, Knt., and his wife, Maud de Mandeville, Countess of Essex and Hereford, sold him one moiety of the manor of Long Compton, Warwickshire, except the capital messuage. In 1230 he accompanied the king on his fruitless march to Bordeaux. He founded the house of Friars Preachers at Kilkenny, and was a benefactor to the abbeys of Tintern and Mottisfont, the priory of Inistioge, St. Paul's Cathedral, and the hospital of St. Mary Rounceval. SIR WILLIAM MARSHALL, 5th Earl of Pembroke, died 6 April 1231, and was buried 15 April 1231 in the Temple Church, London. His widow, Eleanor, married (2nd) in the King's chapel at Westminster 7 Jan. 1237/8 SIMON DE MONTFORT, Knt., Earl of Leicester, High Steward of England, Governor of Gascony [see LEICESTER 10], 3rd son of Simon de Montfort, Earl of Leicester, seigneur of Montfort, by Alice, daughter of Bouchard de Montmorency, seigneur of Montmorency, Conflans-Sainte-Honorine, Heronville, and Ecouen. He was born about 1208. They had five sons, Henry, Knt., Simon, Knt., Amaury (clerk), Guy [Count of Nola], and Richard, and two daughters, including Eleanor (wife of Llywelyn ap Gruffudd, Prince of Wales, lord of Snowdon). In 1229 his older brother, Amaury de Montfort, surrendered to him all their father's inheritance in England. In August 1231 King Henry III restored him in his father's lands in England. In 1236 he served as High Steward at Queen Eleanor's coronation. In 1240 he embarked on a Crusade to the Holy Land and returned to Europe in Spring 1242. He took part in King Henry III's unsuccessful expedition to Poitou in 1242. In 1253 he and his wife, Eleanor, were granted Kenilworth castle, Warwickshire, and the manor of Odiham, Hampshire for life. In 1254 he was sent to Scotland on a secret mission for the king. In 1263 Parliament denounced the king as "false to his oath" and declared war on all violators of the "Provisions." In July 1263 Earl Simon and the barons entered London, where he made the king ratify his concessions. In 1264 a decisive battle was fought at Lewes, where the King and his son Edward were captured. Simon subsequently carried on the government under the King's name and seal, including the summoning of a Parliament in London in Jan. 1265. SIR SIMON DE MONTFORT, Earl of Leicester, was slain at the Battle of Evesham 4 August 1265, and was buried at Evesham Abbey. His tomb at Evesham at once became a shrine at which miracles were wrought. He left a will dated 1 Jan. 1259. His widow, Eleanor, went into exile about Nov. 1265. She retired to the convent of the sisters of Saint-Dominique near Montargis in France, where she died testate 13 April 1275.

ii. RICHARD MARSHAL, Knt., 6th Earl of Pembroke, hereditary Master Marshal, of Hampstead Marshall, Berkshire, Silchester, Hampshire, Hinxworth, Hertfordshire, etc., seigneur of Longueville and Orbec in Normandy, and, in right of his wife, seigneur of Dinan in Brittany, 2nd son, born after 1090 [sic 1190?]. In 1220 his older brother, William ceded all his Norman lands to him. He married in 1222 GERVAISE DE DINAN, widow of Juhel II de Mayenne, seigneur of Mayenne and Dinan (died 2 or 4 May 1220) [see BOHUN 4.iii], and Geoffroi I, Vicomte of Rohan (died 25 Sept. 1221), and daughter of Alain de Dinan (or Vitré). They had no issue. In 1225 he was present at a meeting of Breton nobles in Nantes. In 1226 he and his wife, Gervaise, were granted a weekly market at Ringwood, Hampshire, to be held at the manor until the king came of age. In 1232 the Pope ordered the Bishop of Lisieux to ascertain what degree of affinity existed between Richard and his wife, Gervaise, and to report to the Pope. In 1233 he led the Barons in appealing to the king to dismiss his foreign advisors. In 1233 he was proclaimed a traitor and the office of Marshal was declared to be forfeited. He made an alliance with Llywelyn, and for some months successfully carried on warfare against the royal forces. In 1234 he proceeded to Ireland, where he took Limerick and recovered some of his castles. An abortive conference with the rebels at the Carragh of Kildare on 1 April was followed by a battle, in which he was wounded and captured. While recovering from his wounds, he was practically murdered by a treacherous surgeon. SIR RICHARD MARSHAL, Earl of Pembroke, died at Kilkenny Castle, co. Kilkenny, Ireland 16 April 1234, and was buried in the Church of the Franciscans at Kilkenny 17 April 1234. He was a benefactor to the abbeys of Dunbrothy, St. Aubin des Bois, and Savigny, and he confirmed the possessions of Beaulieu Abbey. His widow, Gervaise, founded a chantry in Saint-Aubin-des-Bois Abbey 22 December 1236. She was also a benefactor of Lehon Priory. Gervaise, Countess of Pembroke, died testate sometime before June 1248. Dugdale Monasticon Anglicanum 5 (1825): 266 (Obit. of Tintern Abbey: "Richardus comes marescallus obiit die xv.

iii. GILBERT MARSHAL, Knt., 7th Earl of Pembroke, hereditary Master Marshal, of Hampstead Marshall, Berkshire, Silchester, Hampshire, Hinxworth, Hertfordshire, etc., 3rd son. He was originally intended for the Church. He took minor orders and from 1225 held benefices. In 1229 he went to the Holy Land. He supported his older brother, Richard Marshal, and acted for him in Ireland. He was heir in 1234 to his brother, Richard Marshal, Knt., Earl of Pembroke. The king knighted him at Winchester 11 June 1234, and invested him with the Earldom of Pembroke and the office of Marshal. In Dec. 1234 he was granted the honor of Laigle, Sussex, together with Pevensey Castle. He married at Berwick 1 August 1235 MARGERY (or MARGARET) OF SCOTLAND, daughter of William the Lion, King of Scots, Earl of Northumberland, by Ermengarde, daughter of Richard de Beaumont, Vicomte of Beaumont-en-Maine [see SCOTLAND 4 for her ancestry]. He received with her a large dowry in Scotland, with 10,000 marks and more. They had no issue. By an unknown mistress, he had one illegitimate daughter, Isabel (contracted to marry Rhys ap Maelgwn Vychan [died 1255]). In 1235 he was granted the honors of Glamorgan and Carmarthen. He officiated as Marshal at the Coronation of Queen Eleanor in 1236. In 1238 he supported his brother-in-law, Richard, Earl of Cornwall, against the king's foreign favorites. Sometime after 1234 he enfeoffed Godfrey de Crowcombe and Ralph Fitz Nicholas in his manor of Compton Bassett, Wiltshire, in return for nominal services of spurs and gloves. SIR GILBERT MARSHAL, Earl of Pembroke, died at Hertford Priory 27 June 1241 of injuries received at a tournament, and was buried in the new Temple Church, London beside his father and brother. He was a benefactor to the monastery of St. Mary de Gloria in the diocese of Anagni, to the abbeys of Nutley and Tintern, and to the lepers' hospital of St. Mary Magdalene of Little Haverford.

iv. WALTER MARSHAL, Knt., 8th Earl of Pembroke, hereditary Master Marshal, hereditary Steward of Leinster, of Hampstead Marshall, Berkshire, Bere and Sturminster, Dorset, Silchester, Hampshire, Himtworth, Hertfordshire, Goodrich Castle, Herefordshire, Box, Great Bedwyn, Wexcombe (in Great Bedwyn), and Wootton Rivers, Wiltshire, etc., seigneur of Orbec and Longueville in Normandy, and, in right of his wife, Earl of Lincoln, 4th son. His father in his lifetime gave him Sturminster, Dorset. His father or his brother gave him Goodrich Castle, Herefordshire and Bere, Dorset. In 1233 he supported his brother, Richard, against the king's foreign favorites and his lands were forfeited. In 1234 he was in Ireland with his brother Richard, who sent him away before the fatal Battle of Kildare, lest his family should be extirpated. He passed over to Wales with his brothers and was pardoned with them. In 1239 he was alienated from King Henry III, by the king's hostility to his brother, Gilbert Marshal. In 1240 he was sent into Wales with a large army to strengthen Cardigan Castle, and he took for his brother Gilbert lands appurtenant to the honour of Carmarthen. In June 1241 he took part in the tournament at which Gilbert Marshal was mortally wounded. The king at first refused to invest Walter in the Earldom of Pembroke as Gilbert's heir, because he had forbidden the tournament, but on 27 October the king relented and invested Walter with both the earldom and office of Marshal. He married 6 Jan. 1241/2 MARGARET (or MARGERY) DE QUINCY, widow of John de Lacy (or Lascy) (also known as John of Chester), Knt., Earl of Lincoln, hereditary Constable of Chester (died 22 July 1240) [see LACY 3], and daughter and heiress of Robert de Quincy, by Hawise, sue jure Countess of Lincoln, daughter of Hugh, Earl of Chester [see QUINCY 6.i for her ancestry]. She was born before 1217. They had no issue. He served as a captain in the king's army in Gascony and Poitou in 1242. In 1243 he surrendered his wife's castle of Bolingbroke, Lincolnshire and her mother's lands in Lincolnshire, which estates were subsequently restored to him and his wife, Margaret. In 1244 he was one of the laymen who was elected to consider the king's demand for a subsidy. He presented to the church of West Halton, Lincolnshire in 1242, and to a mediety of the church of Toynton St. Peter, Lincolnshire in 1245. SIR WALTER MARSHAL, Earl of Pembroke, died at Goodrich Castle, Herefordshire 24 Nov. 1245, and was buried at Tintern Abbey, Monmouthshire. By judgments of the King's court, his widow, Margaret, recovered dower out of lands in Ireland held by Walter Marshal, and she received seisin of one-third of all of the Earl's lands and tenements in Ireland. In 1252 his widow, Margaret, and Richard de Wiltshire were granted a yearly fair at the manor of Chelbury, Lincolnshire. In 1262 an action of recaption was brought against Margaret, Countess of Lincoln, Joce de Stepping [her steward], and John de Lusby. In 1263 the king promised that her executors should have free administration of her goods. In the period, 1263-6, Master Walter of Stainsby filed a writ of attachment against Joce de Stepping, Steward of Margaret, Countess of Lincoln, which required Joce to answer for having distrained Master Walter to perform suit at the court of Lusby contrary to law. Margaret, Countess of Lincoln and Pembroke, died at Hampstead, Middlesex shortly before 30 March 1266, and was buried near her father in the Church of the Hospitallers, Clerkenwell, Middlesex, Baker Hist. & Antiqs. of Northampton 1 (1822-30): 563 (Beaumont-Quincy ped.).
