“ROBERT DE VIPONT, of Appleby, Westmorland, Eyworth, Bedfordshire, Buckland, Buckinghamshire, Staveley, Derbyshire, Perlethorpe, Nottinghamshire, Essendine, Rutland, Winderton (in Brailes), Warwickshire, Kimberworth (in Rotherham), Yorkshire, etc., son and heir, born about 1234 (a minor at his father's death in 1241, and came of age c.1254/6). He married after 19 Nov. 1242 ISABEL FITZ JOHN, daughter of John Fitz Geoffrey, Knt., of Shere, Surrey, Justiciar of Ireland, by Isabel, daughter of Hugh le Bigod, Earl of Norfolk [see VERDUN 8 for her ancestry]. They had two daughters, Isabel and Idoine (wife of Roger de Leyboume and John Cromwell, Knt., Lord Cromwell). In 1256 he made fine with the king by five marks of gold for having respite from his knighthood, and for having a charter for a market, fair, and warren. In 1258 he sued Walter, parson of Newbiggin, Northumberland for poaching in his deer park. The same year he fought in Wales. In 1258 John de Gravenel granted him by fine the manor of Eyworth, Bedfordshire, for which Robert granted him a moiety of the manor of Buckland, Buckinghamshire for life, except the hall, with 12 librates of land in Newbottle, Northamptonshire. He was one of the most violent of the barons in arms against King Henry III, he being an adherent of Simon de Montfort. His name occurs among the list of barons whose seal was required to ratify the peace between King Henry III and the barons in 1261. In 1263 he excused his absense as plaintiff in a plea in Westmorland on the ground of infirmity. ROBERT DE VIPONT died testate shortly before 5 July 1264.

In 1280-1 Thomas de Hellebek' arraigned an assize against Roger and his wife, Idoine, touching common of pasture in Brough-under-Stainmore, Westmorland. ROGER DE LEYBOURNE died shortly before 21 Feb. 1283/4. In 1293-4 his widow, Idoine, was summoned to answer the king by what warrant she claimed to have free warren in Bawtry, Kimberworth, and Austerfield, gallows, infangthief, and outgangthief in Bawtry, and a market and fair in Kimberworth, all in Yorkshire. She was co-heir in 1297 to her uncle, Richard Fitz John, Knt., Lord Fitz John. Idoine married (2nd) before 25 June 1302 (later dispensation dated 15 March 1317, they being related in the 4th degree of kindred) (as his 2nd wife) JOHN DE CROMWELL, Knt., of Carlton on Trent, Nottinghamshire, Beeston, Cheshire, Englefield, Flintshire, Hope, Shropshire, Austerfield, Yorkshire, etc., Constable of Chepstow Castle, 1307-8, Constable of the Tower of London, 1307/8, 1310-23, 1326/7-35, Justice of the Forest south of Trent, 1317, Admiral of the Fleet, 1324, and in right of his 2nd wife, of Eyworth, Bedfordshire, Amersham, Buckland, and Singleborough (in Great Horwood), Buckinghamshire, Staveley, Derbyshire, Moulton, Cromwells (in Potterspury), and Yardley, Northamptonshire, Perlethorpe, Nottinghamshire, Essendine, Rutland, Winderton (in Brailes), Warwickshire, West Winterslow, Wiltshire, Kimberworth (in Rotherham) and Maltby, Yorkshire, etc., younger son of Ralph de Cromwell, Knt., oi Cromwell, Nottinghamshire, by his 2nd wife, Margaret, daughter of Roger de Somery [see STAFFORD 4 for his ancestry]. They had no issue. He was engaged in the French and Scottish wars. In 1305 he accused Nicholas de Segrave, Knt. of treason and was defied by him to battle. He was summoned to Parliament 10 March 1307/8 to 1 April 1335, by writs directed Jobanni de Crimped' or Crumbewelr, whereby he is held to have become Lord Cromwell. In 1308 he and his wife, Idoine, obtained a grant of free warren in several manors including Kimberworth cm Rotherham), Yorkshire, Eyworth, Bedfordshire, Buckland, Buckinghamshire, and Essendine, Rutland. In 1313 he obtained a papal indult for a portable altar. In 1317 he and his wife, Idoine, obtained a pa indult to choose their confessors. In 1318 he complained that his park in Essendine, Rutland was broken into. hr 1319 he and Robert de Umfreville, Knt were appointed wardens of Northumberland, and the parts adjacent. In, 1320-1 John and his wife, Idoine, settled various manors, including Amersham, Buckland, and Singleborough (in Great Horwood), Buckinghamshire, Moulton, Potterspury, and Yardley, Northamptonshire, Perlethorpe, Nottinghamshire, Essendine, Rutland, Winderton (in Brailes), Warwickshire, West Winterslow, Wiltshire, etc. on. themselves for the life of Idoine, with successive remainders to Hugh le Despenser, Knt., the younger and Hugh le Despenser, Knt. the elder for life, and thence to Edward son of Hugh le Despenser, Knt. the younger and his heirs. He fought on the part of the king at the Battle of Boroughbridge 16 March 1321/2. In 1325 Robert de Wombwell and Robert Tree were fined £300 for damages done by wilful entryof the manors of Moulton and Yardley, Northamptonshire, where they devastated the goods and furniture of John de Cromwell and expelled him by force and arms. He was a supporter of Queen Isabel and fled abroad with her in 1326. That year King Edward II seized all of John's lands, including those held in right of his wife, because he stayed out of England without license. In August 1326 his wife, Idoine, was allowed to receive the issues and profits of the manors Buckland, Buckinghamshire, Moulton, Northamptonshire, and Essendine, Rutland during pleasure, and to retak her own robes, beds, and jewels, and other things pertaining to her chamber. John probably returned to England early in the reign of King Edward HI, as he was suing his bailiff touching his accounts for the manor of Essendine, Rutland in 1327. He was granted a weekly market and a yearly fair at his manor of Carlton on Trent, Nottinghamshire in 1328. In 1330 John and his wife, Idoine, claimed view of frankpledge in the manor of Moulton, Northamptonshire. In 1331 he and his wife, Idoine, and his son, Richard, obtained papal indults far plenary remission at the hour of death. In 1331 John and his wife, Idoine, took advantage of the statute annulling all fines levied by force and duress after the exile of the Despensers, and tried to obtain an annulment of the fine of 1320-1, which they said had been so levied. They were evidently unsuccessful. His widow, Idoine, died shortly before 18 Nov. 1333. SIR JOHN DE CROMWELL, Lord Cromwell, died shortly before 8 October 1335.

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