Sometime in the period, 1157-66, he witnessed an exchange of land between Roger de Tichborne and the Bishop of Winchester. He held a fee in Cherhill, Wiltshire of new enfeoffment in 1166. Sometime in the period, c.1166-90, Elias de Studley conveyed to him his land held of the fee of William Malbanc in Heytesbury and Cherhill, Wiltshire at an annual rent of 20s. In 1184 he accounted for the farm of Kinver before the itinerant justices in Oxfordshire. He married (1st) before 25 Jan. 1184/5 BEATRICE DE SAY, daughter and co-heiress of William de Say, of Kimbolton, Huntingdonshire, and Saham, Norfolk [see SAY 4.i for her ancestry]. They had three sons, Geoffrey de Mandeville [5th Earl of Essex], William de Mandeville, Knt. [6th Earl of Essex], and Henry [Dean of Wolverhampton], and two daughters, Maud and Alice. In 1186-7 King Henry II granted him the manor of Cherhill, Wiltshire, to hold in fee and inheritance by the service of one knight, as his father Peter or his brother Robert held it. In the period, 1186-89, he and his two half-brothers, William and Hugh de Buckland, witnessed a charter of William, Earl of Ferrers, to Ralph Fitz Stephen. In the period, c.1189-99, he founded Shouldham Abbey, Norfolk, to which he gave the manor and the advowson of the church of Shouldham, Norfolk, together with the churches of Shouldham Thorpe, Stoke Ferry, and Wereham, Norfolk. In 1190 he obtained the lands to which his wife's grandmother, Beatrice, had become heir on the death of her nephew, William de Mandeville, Earl of Essex. From Easter 1190 he received the third penny of the county of Essex. Sometime in the period, 1190-1213, Sibyl de Fiennes, daughter of Pharamus of Boulogne, conveyed to him 300 acres on Hyngeshill [?in Quarrendon, Buckinghamshire] at an annual rent of an unmewed sparrowhawk, or 12d. Sometime in the period, 1190-1213, he granted the manor of Cherhill, Wiltshire to his younger son, William de Mandeville. He was one of those excommunicated for his part in removing Longchamp in 1191. About 1195 he and his half-brothers, William and Geoffrey de Buckland, witnessed a charter of Geoffrey Fitz Nigel de Gardino to William de Ultra la Haia. In 1195 he owed £4 4s. in the vill of Lydford, Devon for making the market of the king there. His wife, Beatrice, died in childbed before 19 April 1197. Her body was initially buried in Chicksands Priory, Bedfordshire, but later transferred to Shouldham Priory, Norfolk. In 1198 Eustace de Balliol and his wife, Pernel (widow of Geoffrey's brother Robert), quitclaimed all their right to lands in Salthrop (in Wroughton), Wiltshire to Geoffrey, in return for 30 marks silver. He was present at the Coronation of King John 27 May 1199, where he was girded with the sword of earl. In the period, 1199-1216, Geoffrey gave Shouldham Priory, Norfolk twelve shops, with the rooms over them, in the parish of St. Mary's Colechurch, London, for the purpose of sustaining the lights of the church and of providing the sacramental wine. Sometime in or before 1199, he made a grant to William de Wrotham, Archdeacon of Taunton, of all his land of Sutton at Hone, Kent to make a hospital for the maintenance of thirteen poor men and three chaplains in honour of the Holy Trinity, St. Mary, and All Saints. He was granted a weekly market and yearly fair at Amersham, Buckinghamshire and Kimbolton, Huntingdonshire in 1200. In the period, 1200-13, he made notification that Abbot Ralph and the convent of Westminster had at his petition confirmed to the nuns of Shouldham all tithes pertaining to them in Clakelose Hundred, Norfolk, in return for £1 10s. due annually to the almoner of Westminster. In the same period, Abbot Ralph and the convent of Westminster granted him the vill of Claygate, Surrey to hold of them for his lifetime. In 1204 King John granted him the manor of Winterslow, Wiltshire, and, in 1205, the honour of Berkhampstead, Hertfordshire with the castle at a fee farm of £100 per annum. Geoffrey married (2nd) before 29 May 1205 (date of grant) AVELINE DE CLARE, widow of William de Munchensy, of Swanscombe, Kent, Winfarthing and Gooderstone, Norfolk, etc. (died shortly before 7 May 1204) [see CLARE 4.ii], and daughter of Roger de Clare, Earl of Clare or Hertford, by Maud, daughter and heiress of James de Saint Hilary [see CLARE 4 for her ancestry]. They had one son, John, Knt, and four daughters, Hawise, Cecily, ___, and Maud. He campaigned against the Welsh in 1206 and 1210. He was granted a significant part of the lands forfeited by Normans, including the manors of Depden and Hatfield Peverel, Essex, and other lands in Norfolk and Suffolk, all worth over £100 per annum. In 1207 the king confirmed his possession of the manor of Notgrove, Gloucestershire, which Geoffrey had by the gift of John Eskelling. The same year he was granted a weekly market and yearly fair at Moretonhampstead, Devon. Sometime before 1212, he was granted the manor of Gussage Dynaunt (or Gussage St. Michael), Dorset, which manor was forfeited by Roland de Dinan. At some unspecified date, when already earl, he granted all his right in St. Peter's chapel in Drayton to the canons of St. Peter's Cathedral, York. He was the founder of the first church of Whitney Priory, Hampshire. SIR GEOFFREY FITZ PETER, Earl of Essex, died 14 October 1213, and was buried in Shouldham Priory, Norfolk. In 1213-4 the king commanded Geoffrey de Buckland to let the king have, at the price any others would give for them, the corn, pigs, and other chattels at Berkhampstead, Hertfordshire which belonged his brother, Geoffrey Fitz Peter, lately deceased. About 1214 his widow, Aveline, granted the canons of Holy Trinity, London, in frank almoin, a half mark quit rent out of her manor of Towcester, Northamptonshire, part of whose body is buried there. In 1221 the Prior of the Hospital of Jerusalem in England sued her regarding two virgates and five acres of land in Towcester, Northamptonshire. Aveline, Countess of Essex, died before 4 June 1225.

2. “Royal Ancestry: A Study in Colonial & Medieval Families,†Douglas Richardson (2013):
“HENRY DE BOHUN, of Trowbridge, Heddington, and Newton Tony, Wiltshire, hereditary Constable of England, son and heir, born about 1175 (aged 10 in 1185). In 1185 he was a minor in the custody of his widowed grandmother, Margaret de Bohun. He attested a number of her charters and accounted for relief for her lands in 1197. Sometime in the period, 1187-93, he witnessed a charter for his mother to Bradenstoke Priory. He married MAUD DE MANDEVILLE,* daughter of Geoffrey Fitz Peter, Knt., 4th Earl of Essex, by his 1st wife, Beatrice, eldest daughter and co-heiress of William de Say, of Kimbolton, Huntingdonshire, and Saham, Norfolk [see ESSEX 2 for her ancestry]. Her maritagium included the manor of Wheatenhurst, and property in Framilode (in Fretherne), Gloucestershire. They had two sons, Humphrey, Knt. [Earl of Hereford and Essex] and possibly Henry. In 1196 his sister, Maud de Bohun, quitclaimed to him all her right to the viii of Walton upon Thames, Surrey (a Bohun family property), in exchange for confirmation of lands which she had in marriage with Juhel de Mayenne, namely lands in the vills of Blackmoor (in Selbome), Hampshire and Newton Tony, Wiltshire. Henry was created Earl of Hereford 28 April 1200, on his consenting to release his right to certain lands which his ancestor, Miles of Gloucester, Earl of Hereford, had received from his father-in-law, Bernard de Newmarch. In 1200 he was sent with other nobles to escort his uncle, William the Lion, King of Scotland to do homage to King John at Lincoln. The same year he was granted a weekly market and yearly fair at Trowbridge, Wiltshire. Sometime in the period, 1200-20, with consent of his wife, Countess Maud, he gave a messuage with curtilage in Framilode (in Fretherne), Gloucestershire to the monks of Winchcombe Abbey. In the same period, he granted land in Westbury, Gloucestershire to Richard Fitz Roger, of Westbury, for the services of 1/4 knights' fee. In 1204 Earl Henry was involved in a legal dispute with his uncle, David, Earl of Huntingdon, regarding 20 knight's fees in the honour of Huntingdon, including the manors of Glaston and Ryhall, Rutland; Earl David failed to appear to prosecute his claim and seisin was given to Henry. In the period, 1208-11, his uncle, William the Lion, King of Scotland confirmed to William Noble lands in Kilpunt and Illieston (both in Kirkliston), West Lothian in Scotland, which lands were previously granted to said Noble by Henry de Bohun, Earl of Hereford. In 1212 William Longespée, Earl of Salisbury, and his wife, Ela, instituted suit in the king's court against Ela's kinsman, Earl Henry, for the barony of Trowbridge, Wiltshire, Henry's chief fief. The king assumed control of the honour, but allowed Earl William's agents to levy scutage from its tenants. Sometime before 1215 he granted a house and land on English Street in Southampton to Beaulieu Abbey. In 1215 he joined the confederacy of the barons against the king, and his lands were seized by the king He was one of the twenty-five barons elected to guarantee the observance of Magna Carta, signed by King John 15 June 1215. In consequence he was among the barons excommunicated by Pope Innocent III 16 Dec. 1215. After the death of King John, he adhered to the party of Louis of France, and his lands were again declared forfeited. He fought at the Battle of Lincoln, where he was taken prisoner 20 May 1217. He was subsequently released and his lands restored, excepting the manor of Ryhall, Rutland. About Michaelmas 1219 Alan le Grant was charged one mark by the king to have an assize of novel disseisin against Henry, Earl of Hereford, in Surrey. Sometime before 1219, he quitclaimed to Malmesbury Abbey all his right to one carucate of pasture land located between Kemble and Chelworth, Wiltshire. HENRY DE BOHUN, 5th Earl of Hereford, went on a crusade to the Holy Land in 1219, where he died 1 June 1220. He was buried with his son, Henry, in the chapter house of Llanthony Priory outside Gloucester. In Michaelmas term 1220 and Michaelmas term 1221 his widow, Maud, sued William Longespee, Earl of Salisbury, and Ela his wife in a plea of dower in Wiltshire. Maud married (2nd) after Michaelmas 1221 (date of lawsuit) and before Easter term 1226 (date of lawsuit) ROGER DE DAUNTSEY (or DE DAUNTESEY), Knt., of Dauntsey and Wilsford, Wiltshire, and, in right of his wife, of Pleshey, Debden, High Easter, Walden, and Waltham, Essex, Amersham and Quarrendon, Buckinghamshire, Kimbolton, Huntingdonshire, Enfield, Middlesex, Long Compton, Warwickshire, etc. They had no issue. In 1226 she and her husband, Roger, were sued by her son, Humphrey de Bohun, Earl of Hereford, regarding the manor of Heddington, Wiltshire. Maud was heiress in 1227 to her brother, William de Mandeville, 6th Earl of Essex, whereby she became suo jure Countess of Essex. She and Roger had livery of her Mandeville inheritance 29 October 1227 and 22 Feb. 1227/8. In the period, 1226-c.1243, Roger reached an agreement with Simon, Prior of Bradenstoke, concerning a close called Linley situated between their lands. In the period, 1227-32, she gave a tenth of her means of life to the nunnery of St. Mary Clerkenwell, as her cousin, Geoffrey de Mandeville, 2.d Earl of Essex, granted it. In 1229 Roger and his wife, Countess Maud, sold one moiety of the manor of Long Compton, Warwickshire, excluding the capital messuage, to William Marshal, Earl of Pembroke, and the other moiety of the manor, including the capital messuage, to Hubert de Burgh, Earl of Kent. In 1229/30 she received the manors of Gussage, Dorset and Debden, Essex, as well as property in Winchester, Hampshire, by settlement with her half-brother, John Fitz Geoffrey. Countess Maud subsequently conveyed the manor of Gussage, Dorset to her half-sister, Maud Fitz Geoffrey (died 1261), wife successively of Henry d'Oilly, Knt., and William de Cantelowe, Knt., Steward of the King's Household. Countess Maud instituted annulment proceedings in 1232 to free herself from her second husband, Roger. In Easter term 1232 Josce de Cornhull sued Roger and his wife, Maud, regarding a debt of £24 14s. 3d. in Essex. Following a sentence of divorce pronounced in Court Christian, Maud had a writ of livery, 24 April 1233, for all the lands of her inheritance then in the hands of Roger. A papal review board, however, overturned the sentence of divorce three years later and adjudged her to be Roger's lawful wife. The castles and lands which comprised Maud's inheritance and dower, and from which she had made grants in her "free widowhood" during those three years, were ordered restored to Roger in July 1236. Sometime in the period, 1233-6, she quitclaimed to her half-brother, John Fitz Geoffrey, 100s. which he owed her annually for Cherhill, Wiltshire. In 1234 she granted her half-brother, John Fitz Geoffrey, 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 the period, 1234-5, she leased the manors of Saffron Walden and Debden, Essex to Edmund, Archbishop of Canterbury at an annual rent of £120, until a debt of 7,160 marks owed by her late brothers, Geoffrey and William de Mandeville, was paid in full. In Jan. 1236 the king requested that she fulfill the promise which she gave to Master John de Ferentino, Archdeacon of Norwich, of making him a provision of £10 yearly in land in the manor of High Easter, Essex. Maud de Mandeville, Countess of Essex and Hereford, died 27 August 1236. On 25 October 1236 Ela, Countess of Salisbury, reached agreement with William Longespee, her eldest son, to grant a moiety of the manor of Heddington, Wiltshire to Lacock Priory, which property fell to her on the death of Countess Maud. Sir Roger de Dauntsey was living in August 1238.

They had three sons, Geoffrey de Mandeville [5th Earl of Essex], William de Mandeville, Knt. [6th Earl of Essex], and Henry [Dean of Wolverhampton], and two daughters, Maud and Alice. In 1186-7 King Henry II granted him the manor of Cherhill, Wiltshire, to hold in fee and inheritance by the service of one knight, as his father Peter or his brother Robert held it. In the period, 1186-89, he and his two half-brothers, William and Hugh de Buckland, witnessed a charter of William, Earl of Ferrers, to Ralph Fitz Stephen. In the period, c.1189-99, he founded Shouldham Abbey, Norfolk, to which he gave the manor and the advowson of the church of Shouldham, Norfolk, together with the churches of Shouldham Thorpe, Stoke Ferry, and Wereham, Norfolk. In 1190 he obtained the lands to which his 1st wife's grandmother, Beatrice, had become heir on the death of her nephew, William de Mandeville, Earl of Essex. From Easter 1190 he received the third penny of the county of Essex. Sometime in the period, 1190-1213, Sibyl de Fiennes, daughter of Pharamus of Boulogne, conveyed to him 300 acres on Hyngeshill [?in Quarrendon, Buckinghamshire] at an annual rent of an unmewed sparrowhawk, or 12d. Sometime in the period 1190-1213, he granted the manor of Cherhill, Wiltshire to his younger son, William de Mandeville. He was one of those excommunicated for his part in removing Longchamp in 1191. About 1195 he and his two half-brothers, William and Geoffrey de Buckland, witnessed a charter of Geoffrey Fitz Nigel de Gardino to William de Ultra la Haia. In 1195 he owed £4 4s. in the vill of Lydford, Devon for making the market of the king there. In 1198, Eustace de Balliol and his wife, Pernel (widow of Geoffrey's brother Robert), quitclaimed all their right to lands in Salthrop (in Wroughton), Wiltshire to Geoffrey, in return for 30 marks silver. In the period, 1199-1216, Geoffrey further gave Shouldham Priory, Norfolk twelve shops, with the rooms over them, in the parish of St. Mary's Colechurch, London, for the purpose of sustaining the lights of the church and of providing the sacramental wine. Sometime in or before 1199, he made a grant to William de Wrotham, Archdeacon of Taunton, of all his land of Sutton at Hone, Kent to make a hospital for the maintenance of thirteen poor men and three chaplains in honour of the Holy Trinity, St. Mary, and All Saints. In the period, 1200-13, he made notification that Abbot Ralph and the convent of Westminster had at his petition confirmed to the nuns of Shouldham all tithes pertaining to them in Clakelose Hundred, Norfolk, in return for £1 10s. due annually to the almoner of Westminster. In the same period, Abbot Ralph and the convent of Westminster granted him the vill of Claygate, Surrey to hold of them for his lifetime. In 1204 King John granted him the manor of Winterslow, Wiltshire, and, in 1205, the honour of Berkhampstead, Hertfordshire with the castle at a fee farm of £100 per annum. He campaigned against the Welsh in 1206 and 1210. He was granted a significant part of the lands forfeited by Normans, including the manors of Depden and Hatfield Peverel, Essex, and other lands in Norfolk and Suffolk, all worth over £100 per annum. In 1207 the king confirmed his possession of the manor of Notgrove, Gloucestershire, which Geoffrey had by the gift of John Eskelling. Sometime before 1212, he was granted the manor of Gussage Dynaunt (or Gussage St. Michael), Dorset, which manor was forfeited by Roland de Dinan. At some unspecified date, when already earl, he granted all his right in St. Peter's chapel in Drayton to the canons of St. Peter's Cathedral, York. He was the founder of the first church of Wintney Priory, Hampshire. SIR GEOFFREY FITZ PETER, Earl of Essex, died 14 October 1213, and was buried in Shouldham Priory, Norfolk. In 1213-4 the king commanded Geoffrey de Buckland to let the king have, at the price any others would give for them, the corn, pigs, and other chattels at Berkhampstead, Hertfordshire which belonged his brother, Geoffrey Fitz Peter, lately deceased. About 1214 his widow, Aveline, granted the canons of Holy Trinity, London, in frank almoin, a half mark quit rent out of her Manor of Towcester, Northamptonshire, part of whose body is buried there. In 1221 the Prior of the Hospital of Jerusalem in England sued her regarding two virgates and five acres of land in Towcester, Northamptonshire. Aveline, Countess of Essex, died before 4 June 1225.
