She married (2nd) RALPH ___, whose identity is unknown. In Michaelmas 1209 his widow, Beatrice, accounted for 3100 marks to be paid within four years for having her father's lands and tenements which were her inheritance, as well as reasonable dower from the tenements of Doun Bardolf formerly her husband. She married (3rd) HUBERT DE BURGH, Knt., of Henlow, Bedfordshire, Aspley Guise, Buckinghamshire, Soham, Cambridgeshire, Corfe Mullen and Winford, Dorset, Kingsdown, Newington, and Tunstall, Kent, Beeston, Burgh, Cawston, Newton, Rougham, Norfolk, Sotherton, Suffolk, Banstead and Sheen, Surrey, Compton, Warwickshire, etc., Chamberlain to John, Count of Mortain [future King John], 1198-9, King's Chamberlain, 1199-1205, Sheriff of Herefordshire, 1200/1, 1215, Sheriff of Somersetshire and Dorsetshire, 1200-1, Constable of Windsor Castle, 1201, Constable of Dover Castle and Warden of the Cinque Ports, 1201, 1215-24, Warden of the Marches of Wales, 1201, Sheriff of Cornwall, 1202, Sheriff of Berkshire, 1202-4, Sheriff of Lincolnshire, 1208-13, Seneschal of Poitou, 1213-15, Justiciar of England, 1215-32, Sheriff of Kent, 1215-17, Sheriff of Surrey, 1215-16, Warden of the Exchange and Mint, 1215, Sheriff of Norfolk and Suffolk, 1217-27, Sheriff of Westmorland, 1228-34, Justiciar of Ireland, 1232, Constable of the Tower of London, 1232, and, in right of his 1st wife, of Wormegay, North Runcton, and Stow Bardolf, Norfolk, and Finborough, Suffolk, Fletching and Portslade, Sussex, son and heir of [?Walter] de Burgh, by his wife, Alice [see BURGH 1 for his parentage]. They had one son, John, Knt. In or before 1198 he became Chamberlain to John, Count of Mortain [afterwards King John]. At John's accession to the throne, he became the most important official in the country, and received many grants of lands, wardships and offices, including Shrievaltys successively of eleven counties, and the honour of Camel, Somerset formerly belonging to William de Roumare. Sometime before 1202, he gave the church of East Camel, Somerset to Cleeve Abbey, Somerset. He held the castle of Chinon for King John, but after a year's siege, he was obliged to evacuate it. In the fight to break through the French lines was severely wounded and taken prisoner 23 June 1205, after which he was in disgrace and did not appear in public affairs for several years. He temporarily lost the honour of Camel, Somerset between 1205 and 1207, but recovered possession and held it until 1228, when he exchanged it for other royal lands. His wife, Beatrice, died shortly before 12 Dec. 1214. At the meeting at Runnymede he sided with King John, and was named in Magna Carta, and was one of those appointed to uphold the twenty-five Barons who were made custodians thereof. In 1216 he defended Dover Castle against Prince Louis and the Barons. In August 1217 he defeated a French fleet off Dover at the Battle of South Foreland. In Sept. 1217 he was a party to the treaty of peace made by Prince Louis at Lambeth before he left England. Hubert married (2nd) c.17 Sept. 1217 ISABEL OF GLOUCESTER, Countess of Gloucester, lady of Glamorgan, divorced wife of King John of England [see ENGLAND 5], and widow of Geoffrey de Mandeville, Knt., 5th Earl of Essex (died 23 Feb. 1215/6) [see ESSEX 2.i], and youngest daughter and co-heiress of William Fitz Robert, Earl of Gloucester, by Hawise, daughter of Robert of Meulan, Knt., 1st Earl of Leicester [see GLOUCESTER 4 for her ancestry]. They had no issue. His wife, Isabel, died 14 October 1217, and was buried in Canterbury Cathedral Church. He married (3rd) at York, Yorkshire in June 1221 MARGARET (or MARGERY) OF SCOTLAND [see SCOTLAND 4.iii], daughter of William the Lion, King of Scots, Earl of Huntingdon, by Ermengarde, daughter of Richard de Beaumont, Vicomte of Beaumont-en-Maine [see SCOTLAND 4 for her ancestry]. They had one daughter, Margaret. In 1221 he demanded that the royal castles, which had been seized by the Barons, and some of which were in the hands of foreigners likes Faukes de Breaute, should be restored to the Crown. In 1221 he gave the advowson of the church of Portslade, Sussex to Bradsole Abbey. About 1221 he founded a house of Dominican friars near Ludgate in London, and gave them land in Holborn for their house. In 1222 he suppressed a riot in London with great severity. In 1222 Matthew nephew of Geoffrey Wake fined 200 marks with him for a quitclaim to Ebbesborne Wake, Wiltshire. In 1223 the Earl of Chester with Faukes de Breaute and others combined against him, but he overcame them; in August 1224 he captured Breautes castle of Bedford and secured his banishment. He was granted a market at Burgh next Aylsham, Norfolk in 1226. He was created Earl of Kent 19 Feb. 1226/7, entailed on the issue of Hubert by his 3rd wife, Margaret In 1227 he and his wife, Margaret, were granted an unspecified number of fairs at three manors, including Nayland, Suffolk. In March 1227 the king granted him the manor of Upper Arleigh, Staffordshire, which formerly belonged to his brother, Thomas de Burgh, Knt. In 1228 he and his wife, Margaret, were granted unspecified markets and fairs at four manors, including Hadleigh, Essex and Haughley and Nayland, Suffolk. 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, including the capital messuage. In October 1229 he and his wife, Margaret, were granted the manor, castle, and honour of Knaresborough, Yorkshire; he also had a grant of the honour of Eye, Suffolk. He accompanied the king on his expedition to Poitou and Gascony in 1230, for the failure of which he was blamed. In 1231 he was granted a weekly market and a yearly fair at Long Compton, Warwickshire. In 1231 Anketil Mallore was summoned by Earl Hubert to state by what warrant he held the manor of [Upper] Arleigh, Staffordshire, which was the demesne of the king, and which the said Earl had by gift of the king. The king acknowledged that the Earl was in seisin, and had been disseised by him. Thus, it was considered that the Earl should recover his seisin, and that Anketill was in mercy. In early 1231 or early 1232 the pope set up an inquiry into Hubert's marriage on the grounds that Margaret his 3rd wife was related to his 2nd wife. Hubert's anger was widely known and provoked a papal letter of rebuke 9 June 1232. King Henry chafed at the restraints which his powerful minister imposed on him, and found an excuse to break him, depriving him of the Justiciarship. He was ordered to surrender the castles of Dover, Canterbury, Rochester, Windsor, Odiham, Hertford, Colchester, the Tower, and all his other castles. He was pardoned by the king in 1234; his lands were restored to him and he recovered his earldom. However, for the rest of his life he had little part in public affairs. In 1238 Huward de Bikelegh brought a suit against him for seizure of the fair at Holwell, Somerset. SIR HUBERT DE BURGH, Earl of Kent, died testate at Banstead, Surrey shortly before 5 May 1243. His widow, Margaret, Countess of Kent, died 15 Nov. 1259. He and his wife, Margaret, were buried in the church of the Black Friars, London.

Sir Thomas and his wife, Nesta, were chief benefactors to the priory of St. Anthony of Kersey, which priory was founded probably by her ancestors about 1184. Thomas is said to have founded a hospital or free chapel of St. Mary and St. Anthony at Kersey, Suffolk before 1218. By another charter, Thomas and Nests his wife granted three acres of arable land in Groton, Suffolk. In 1218-19 her mother, Rohese, released her dower in the lands of her late husband in Cockfield, Groton, and Semere to Thomas and Nests. SIR THOMAS DE BURGH was living in 1225, but died in or before March 1227, when his manor at Upper Arleigh, Staffordshire was granted by the king to his brother, Hubert de Burgh, Knt. His widow, Nests, made several considerable grants to the canons of Kersey. By the first she granted them the mother church of Kersey, with all its appurtenances, eight acres adjoining the cemetery on the south, the two and a half acres on which the house was founded, a messuage where the hospital (domus hospitalis) stood, etc. By the same charter she granted the tithes of her mills at Cockfield, Lindsey, and Kersey, to sustain the lights in the Kersey chapel. The church of Kersey was appropriated to the use of the canons by Thomas de Blun[de]ville, Bishop of Norwich, in 1227. Nesta married (2nd) before 10 October 1233 JOHN DE BEAUCHAMP. They had no issue. In 1239-40 John and his wife Nesta conveyed lands in Boxford and Alington, Suffolk to Richard Fitz Robert, and lands in Kersey, Suffolk to Geoffrey de Suffolk. In 1240 they confirmed and increased the grants to the priory of lands and pasture in Lindsey and Kersey, and confirmed to them the church of Kersey. At an unknown date, he and his wife, Nesta, conveyed lands in Ruston, Suffolk to William de Odclingseles. Following John de Beauchamp's death, she gave the canons the church of Lindsey in order that they might better relieve the poor who flocked there once every week. She married (3rd) before 1241-2 MATTHEW DE LEYHAtM, of Leyham, Suffolk. They had no issue. In 1241-2, with consent of her husband, Matthew, Nesta gave certain lands in Lindsey and Kersey, Suffolk, together with her body to be buried in the conventual church of Kersey. At the same date, Matthew and Nesta conveyed lands in Cockfield, Suffolk to Henry, Abbot of St Edmunds. At some unspecified date, Nesta also gave a pasture for six cows in her park of Kersey, Suffolk to Kersey Priory in frankalmoign. Nesta died about 1248. In 1249-50, Matthew de Leyham conveyed lands in Leyham, Suffolk to Peter de Leyham. In 1250-51 Matthew de Leyham conveyed lands in Leyham, Suffolk, together with the advowson, to Peter de Leyham.
