Loyd indicates that “Abitot” is the same place as Abbetot, which is located in the present-day French département of Seine-Maritime (previously Seine-Inférieure), arrondissement Le Havre, canton Saint-Romain[1].

[Three] brothers:

1. ROBERT le Despencer (-after [1086]). Round states that "Robert the Despencer" was the brother of "Urse de Abetot" who succeeded the former in his lands in Lincolnshire. He does not cite the primary source which confirms the family relationship, although he does refer to "Ingoluesmaera" (part of the property the subject of the [1095/1100] writ, see below) being the same as "Gundelsmere" which was held by Robert le Despencer in Domesday Book[2]. Domesday Book records “Robert Despenser” holding Childswickham in Gloucestershire [Worcestershire]; Knightwick in Worcestershire; and several properties in Leicestershire[3]. "...Robert, Dispensator..." witnessed the charter dated to [1086] which notified a plea held by William I King of England concerning William de Briouse and the abbey of Holy Trinity, Fécamp[4].

2. URSE [I] de Abitot (-[1100/10]). Round states that "Robert the Despencer" was the brother of "Urse de Abetot" who succeeded the former in his lands in Lincolnshire, but does not cite the primary source which confirms the family relationship[5]. "Urse de Abetot" witnessed the undated charter under which William I King of England granted four manors to Chertsey St Peter[6]. William I King of England notified "Urse de Abetot" and the bishop of Worcester of his donation of "Leng" to the church of Evesham by undated charter[7]. Domesday Book records “Urse d’Abetot” holding Sezincote in Gloucestershire; and "Urse the sheriff" holding numerous properties from the churches of Worcester, Westminster St Peter, St Mary of Pershore, from the bishop of Bayeux, as well as his own holdings from the king, in Worcestershire[8]. Sheriff of Worcester: "…Urso vicecomes…" witnessed the charter dated 20 May 1089 under which Wulfstan Bishop of Worcester granted property at Alveston to the monks[9]. "…Eudo dapifer, Ivo dapifer, Hanno dapifer, Rotbertus de Oili, Urso de Abetot…Hugo de Portu, Rogerus de Busleio, Ranulfus Peverellis, Aiulfus vicecomes, Alveradus de Lincoln, Ernulfus de Hesding" witnessed the charter dated 27 Jan 1091 under which William II King of England confirmed the status of Bath abbey[10]. “…Ursone de Abetot…” witnessed the charter dated Sep 1093 under which William II King of England donated property to Lincoln cathedral[11]. A writ addressed to Robert Bishop of Lincoln and Osbert Sheriff of Lincolnshire, dated to [1095/1100], sanctioned an exchange of lands between "Ur de Abet" and "Rotb de Laceio de Ingoluesmaera", witnessed by "R. fil Haim"[12]. "…Ursonis de Abetot…" witnessed the undated charter under which Henry I King of England confirmed the foundation of Bermondsey abbey[13]. m ADELISA, daughter of ---. Ellis says that "Athelisa the viscountess" witnessed the charter of Urse de Abitot to Malvern priory, but does not cite the primary source in question[14]. Henry I King of England notified the bishop of Worcester that he had granted "terram que fuit Adelize uxoris Ursonis de Abbetot sicut ipsa Adeliza eam ei concessit" to "Waltero de Bello Campo" by charter dated to [1123/Jul 1129][15]. Urse & his wife had two children:

a) ROGER de Abitot . Henry I King of England instructed "Waltero vicecomiti Gloec et Rogero vicecomiti de Wirecestr et Hugoni de Legrec" that the monks of Worcester Cathedral should enjoy quiet enjoyment, by charter dated to [Jun 1109/Aug 1111] or [Jul/Oct 1113][16]. Ellis says that "Roger d’Abitot" son of Urse de Abitot "having killed one of the household of Henry I was banished", but does not cite the primary source in question[17]. The banishment must be dated to [1114], as Henry I King of England granted "totam terram Rogeri de Wygrecestra", in and around the town of Worcester, to "Waltero de Bello Campo" by charter dated to [1114, after 15 Aug][18].

b) [EMMELINE] . Round states that the wife of Walter de Beauchamp was the daughter of Urse de Abitot but he does not cite the corresponding primary source which confirms that this is correct[19]. Ellis says that "Emmeline Roger’s sister was wife of Walter de Beauchamp, who obtained the fief of Urso and the shrievalty of Worcestershire, which Henry I confirmed to him, together wih the office of one of the king’s dispensers which Robert brother of Urso had formerly held, and the land given him by Adelisa the widow of Urso"[20]. If this information is all correct, it appears to establish Emmeline’s parentage and marriage. However, Ellis cites none of the corresponding primary sources. The relevant charters are set out in the Beauchamp cartulary: (1) Henry I King of England granted "totam terram Rogeri de Wygrecestra", in and around the town of Worcester, to "Waltero de Bello Campo" by charter dated to [1114, after 15 Aug][21]; (2) Henry I King of England notified the bishop of Worcester that he had granted "vicecomitatum de Wigresestrasia" to "Waltero de Bello Campo" by charter dated to [Dec 1113/Apr 1116][22]; and (3) Henry I King of England notified the bishop of Worcester that he had granted "terram que fuit Adelize uxoris Ursonis de Abbetot sicut ipsa Adeliza eam ei concessit" to "Waltero de Bello Campo" by charter dated to [1123/Jul 1129][23]. The documents do not explicitly state that Walter’s wife was the daughter of Urse de Abitot and brother of Roger de Abitot, but this is a reasonable implication. The latest date of her marriage is assessed from the dating of the first of these charters. The primary source which confirms her name has not yet been identified. m (before [1114]) WALTER [I] de Beauchamp of Elmley Castle, Worcestershire, son of --- (-[1130/May 1133]).

3. [OSBERT de Abitot (-before Oct 1113). Henry I King of England notified "Osberto de Abetot et ministris [et] forestariis de foresta de Feccham" that he had granted a fox-hunting licence in his forest in Feckenham to "Waltero de Bello Campo" by charter dated to [1110/16][24]. Sheriff of Worcester. Henry I King of England notified "Osberto vicecomiti et omnibus forestariis de Wirecestrasera" that he had granted a wolf-hunting licence in his forest in Worcestershire to "Waltero de Bello Campo" by charter dated to [1106/13][25]. It is more likely that Osbert was the brother of Urse de Abitot rather than his son. The charter dated to [1114, after 15 Aug], under which King Henry I granted the land of Roger de Abitot to [his brother-in-law] Walter de Beauchamp suggests that Roger was his father’s oldest son and heir. If that is correct, it is likely that Roger would have been the preferred appointee as sheriff of Worcester, after his father, assuming that one of Urse’s sons would have been chosen. This case is reminiscent of the appointment of Durand as sheriff of Gloucester, in succession to his brother Roger [de Pitres], passing over Roger’s son Walter de Gloucester who is recorded as sheriff after Durand (see the document ENGLAND EARLS - GLOUCESTER). In the Abitot case, it is possible that Urse’s son was too young to have been appointed sheriff after his father died and that his father’s younger brother was chosen as "caretaker" sheriff by the king. Osbert must have died before Oct 1113, the latest date of a charter which names Roger as sheriff (see above).]

1. URSE [II] . He is named as father of Robert in the charter quoted below. Loyd indicates that there is no other place named “Abetot” in Normandy other than the one with which the Abitot family is connected. The suggestion is that Robert FitzUrse was in some way connected with the Abitot family, especially given that Urse is not a common name[26]. If that is correct, there appear to be two possibilities to explain the family relationship. Firstly, Robert could have been an older son of Urse [I] whom his father had left in charge of family properties in Normandy. If that is correct, Robert presumably predeceased his father as no further reference to him has been found. It does not appear likely that Robert was a younger son of Urse [I]: the banishment of Roger, son of Urse [I], and the grant of his properties by King Henry I to his brother-in-law Walter [I] de Beauchamp, indicates that any brother of Roger then living would also have been disinherited and would be unlikely to have been permitted to retain property in Normandy. Secondly, Robert could have belonged to another branch of the same family (maybe the senior line) which had retained the family properties in Normandy when its cousins left for England. The donation dated [?1128] referred to below supports the hypothesis that another branch of the Abitot family remained in Normandy where they held property. m ---. The name of Urse’s wife is not known. Urse [II] & his wife had one child:

a) ROBERT FitzUrse . “W. de Tancervilla camerarius regis” made numerous donations to Boscherville, including “in Abetot…ecclesiam et decimam et terram…inter ecclesiam et domum Roberti filii Ursi”, by undated charter (dated to the reign of King Henry I)[27]. It is likely that this is the same donation which is referred to in a charter dated to [1177/82] under which Henry II King of England confirmed the possessions of Saint-Georges de Boscherville, including the donation of "ecclesiam de Habetot..." made by “Rodulfus Willelmi regis magister” with the consent of King Henry I[28]. If that is correct, the original donation may have been made during the reign of King William II, in which case the later charter quoted above would have been a confirmation of this original. The earlier the date of the original donation, the less likely that Robert FitzUrse was the same person as Robert de Abitot (shown below), which is suggested by Loyd[29].

1. ROBERT de Abitot . An inspeximus dated 16 May 1316 reproduces a charter of King Henry II which confirms donations made to Sainte-Barbe d’Auge, including land donated by “Leza uxor Roberti de Abbetot” and which “ipse Robertus posuit super altare”[30]. Round summarises a charter under which “Rabel the chamberlain son of William the chamberlain” donated property to Sainte-Barbe d’Auge, including “the land that Lesza wife of Robert de Abetot gave them at her death and which Robert placed upon the altar”[31]. Round dates the charter to [?1128], referring to a “vidimus of 1467 in archives. Trans. Vol. I. fo. 22”. It is unclear whether he based his calendar entry on a document dated [1128] or only the vidimus. Whatever the case, the donation is clearly the same as the one referred to in the 16 May 1316 inspeximus, although the text of the charter quoted in the latter does not refer to the death of Leza. Loyd suggests that Robert de Abitot may have been the same person as Robert, son of Urse [II], who is shown above[32]. Whether this suggestion is correct depends on the dating of the charter in which Robert FitzUrse is named (see above). In any case, the [?1128] charter does support the hypothesis that a possibly older branch of the Abitot family remained in Normandy, where they continued to hold property, after their cousins left for England. m LEZA, daughter of ---. An inspeximus dated 16 May 1316 reproduces a charter of King Henry II which confirms donations made to Sainte-Barbe d’Auge, including land donated by “Leza uxor Roberti de Abbetot” and which “ipse Robertus posuit super altare”[33]. Round summarises a charter under which “Rabel the chamberlain son of William the chamberlain” donated property to Sainte-Barbe d’Auge, including “the land that Lesza wife of Robert de Abetot gave them at her death and which Robert placed upon the altar”[34].

The following four individuals, named in charters with William [II] de Beauchamp (grandson of Urse [I] de Abitot) or his relatives, were probably related to the Abitot family but the information available is insufficient to enable the precise relationships to be traced. They were probably descendants of Osbert, brother of Urse [I] de Abitot, or another otherwise unrecorded brother.

1. ALEXANDER de Abitot . "…Alexandro de Abitot…" witnessed the charter dated to [1170/97] under which "Willelmus de Bello Campo" granted land to "Odoni de Salewarp fideli meo"[35]. "…Alexandro Dapitot, Osberto de Abbitot…" witnessed the charter dated to [1170/97] under which "Willelmus de Bello Campo" granted land to "Roberto de Argent"[36].

2. JOHN de Abitot (-after [1223/24]). "…Johanne Dapitot…" witnessed the charter dated to [1170/97] under which "Odo de Salewarp" granted land to "Juliane [nepote/nepte] mee filie Willelmi de Bello Campo"[37].

"Johannes de Abetot" donated land in Alkerton [in Eastington, Gloucestershire] to the monks of Worcester Cathedral priory, with the consent of "Alexandri filii et heredis mei", by charter dated to [early Henry III], witnessed by "domino Osberto de Abetot"[39]. "Johannes de Abetot" granted the service of "Henrici filii mei" to the monks of Worcester Cathedral priory by charter dated to [1223/24], witnessed by "domino Waltero de Bellocampo…"[40]. m ---. The name of John’s wife is not known. John & his wife had two children:

a) ALEXANDER de Abitot (-after [1250/69]). "Johannes de Abetot" donated land in Alkerton [in Eastington, Gloucestershire] to the monks of Worcester Cathedral priory, with the consent of "Alexandri filii et heredis mei", by charter dated to [early Henry III], witnessed by "domino Osberto de Abetot"[41]. "Alexander de Abbitot" issued a quitclaim to "domino meo Willelmo de Bello Campo" relating to "terram…in Hyndelip que vocatur Oldebur" by charter dated to [1250/69][42].

b) HENRY de Abitot . "Johannes de Abetot" granted the service of "Henrici filii mei" to the monks of Worcester Cathedral priory by charter dated to [1223/24], witnessed by "domino Waltero de Bellocampo…"[43].

3. GEOFFREY de Abitot . "Roberto de Bello Campo, Ada de Duderhill, Petro de Bello Campo, et Johanne de Abbitot, (Gast) Galfrido de Abbitot…" witnessed the charter dated to [1170/97] under which "Odo de Salewarp" granted land to "Juliane filie Willelmi de Bello Campo et [nepos/nepte] mee"[44].

4. OSBERT de Abitot . "…Alexandro Dapitot, Osberto de Abbitot…" witnessed the charter dated to [1170/97] under which "Willelmus de Bello Campo" granted land to "Roberto de Argent"[45]. "Domino Guydone de Bello Campo, Osberto de Abbetot…" witnessed the charter dated to [1213/36] under which "Johannes Archent" granted "terram meam in Stolton apud la Hethe", granted by "Willelmus de Bello Campo" to "Roberto patri meo", to "Hugoni de Duntesburn"[46]. "Johannes de Abetot" donated land in Alkerton [in Eastington, Gloucestershire] to the monks of Worcester Cathedral priory, with the consent of "Alexandri filii et heredis mei", by charter dated to [early Henry III], witnessed by "domino Osberto de Abetot"[47]. If these last two charters were issued in the early part of the date ranges, the witness Osbert de Abitot in both could be the same person as witnessed the charter dated to [1170/97].

The following persons were presumably descendants of the earlier members of the Abitot family but no indication has been found of the precise family relationships.

1. ROBERT de Abitot . m MATILDA, daughter of ---. A charter dated to [1239/May 1266] records that "Matildam que fuit uxor Roberti Dappetot" agreed with "Jacobum de Bello Campo" to transfer to him "totam terram meam…nomine dotis in villa de Acton" in return for an allowance of corn and clothing[48]. Robert & his wife had one child:

Brother of Nigel d'Aubigny, according to Orderic Vitalis he remained loyal to King Henry I during the rebellion of 1118[65]. He was Master Butler ["Pincerna"] of the household of King Henry I. “Willielmus de Albeneio pincerna regis” donated “decimam de villa...Elham” to Rochester, for the souls of “...fratris mei Nigelli et nepotis mei Hunfridi”, by undated charter[66].

Henry I King of England confirmed donations of property to the abbey of Holy Trinity, Lessay by "Roger de Albineio and Amicia his wife with the consent of their sons William and Nigel" by charter dated 1126[77]. "…Willelmo de Albineyo pincerna et Nigello de Albineyo frater suo…" witnessed the charter of Henry I King of England dated 2 Feb [1111/16] under which the king donated the manor of "Winterworda" to the archbishop of Rouen[78]. Henry I King of England granted him Montbrai, in Normandy, the forfeited lands of Robert de Mowbray Earl of Northumberland[79]. He repudiated his first wife after the death of her brother Gilbert de Laigle[80]. Henry I King of England confirmed donations of property to the abbey of Saint-Evroul by "Nigel de Albineio" by charter dated to [1124/35], witnessed by “Nigello de Albineio”[81]. m firstly (after 1107, repudiated) as her second husband, MATHILDE de Laigle, former wife of ROBERT de Mowbray Earl of Northumberland, daughter of RICHER de l'Aigle & his wife Judith d’Avranches of Chester (-[after Oct 1155][82]). She is named and her parentage given by Orderic Vitalis, who also records her first marriage[83]. Her second marriage took place with the dispensation of Pope Paschal II, granted although her first husband was still living[84]. Eyton discusses her life and land holdings in more detail[85]. The 1130 Pipe Roll records "Mathildi de Aqila" in Dorsetshire and exempted in Staffordshire[86]. m secondly (Jun [1118]) GUNDRED de Gournay, daughter of GERARD de Gournay & his wife Edith de Warenne ([1100/05]-after 1155). Guillaume of Jumièges records that “Nigello de Albinneio” married “Gundredam filiam Giraldi de Gornaco” by whom he had “filium...Rogerium de Moubraio”[87]. Orderic Vitalis records the marriage in Jun [1118] of "Hugo filius Girardi de Gornaco...sorore sua...Gundrea...consilio regis" to “Nigello de Albinneio”[88]. In another passage she is named as second wife of Nigel d'Aubigny[89]. The 1130 Pipe Roll records "Gunderede uxori Nig de Albin" in Leicestershire[90]. ”Gundreda, uxor Nigelli de Albini” donated property to the Hospital of St Leonard, York by undated charter which names “Rogero de Molbray filio suo”[91]. An undated charter notes the donation of ”Hospitale Sancti Michaelis Archangeli” to Whitby Monastery, at the request of “Dominam Gundredam uxorem Nigelli de Albini” for the soul of “Rogero de Moubray filio eorum”[92]. Nele & his second wife had one child:

i) ROGER de Mowbray (-[late 1187/1188], bur Tyre). Guillaume of Jumièges records that “Nigello de Albinneio” married “Gundredam filiam Giraldi de Gornaco” by whom he had “filium...Rogerium de Moubraio”[93].

- MOWBRAY.

d) son . The 1130 Pipe Roll suggests that Humphrey’s father must have been another son of Roger d’Aubigny, as it records "Alan de Linc" returning for the dowry he gave to "Unfr de Albin cum filia sua" in Lincolnshire[94]. m ---. One child:

i) HUMPHREY de Albini (-before 1129). “Willielmus de Albeneio pincerna regis” donated “decimam de villa...Elham” to Rochester, for the souls of “...fratris mei Nigelli et nepotis mei Hunfridi”, by undated charter[95]. m --- de Lincoln, daughter of ALAN of Lincoln & his wife ---. The 1130 Pipe Roll records "Alan de Linc" returning for the dowry he gave to "Unfr de Albin cum filia sua" in Lincolnshire[96].

e) [ANSGOT . “Ansgotus camerarius regis” donated “decimam...in hameletto...Modingham...in parochiis de Eltham et Chisilhersta” to Rochester, for the souls of “...uxoris mee et fratris mei Nigelli et nepotis mei Humfredi”, by undated charter[97]. The phrasing of the sentence which describes those for whose souls this donation is made is the same as in the undated charter under which “Willielmus de Albeneio pincerna regis” donated “decimam de villa...Elham” to Rochester (see above)[98]. This suggests that one document has been copied from the other. The possibility that the documentation is in some way flawed cannot therefore be excluded. If the lists are authentic in both documents, Ansgot must have been another brother of William de Albini. In that case, he may have been the same person as the father of Samson de Albini who is shown below. m ---. “Ansgotus camerarius regis” donated “decimam...in hameletto...Modingham...in parochiis de Eltham et Chisilhersta” to Rochester, for the souls of “...uxoris mee et fratris mei Nigelli et nepotis mei Humfredi”, by undated charter[99].]

GILBERT de Aton, son of WILLIAM de Aton & his wife --- (-1235). “Gilbertus de Atun” confirmed the grant of land "in territorio de Atun quam Willelmus filius Ckar tenuit de Willelmo patre meo" to "Roberto filio Roberti filii Ckar" by charter dated to [1195/1215], witnessed by "Johanne fratre domini Gilberti de Atun, Johanne filio Willelmi de Atun…Willelmo filio Roberti de Atun…"[222]. His descendants were the heirs to the Vescy estates in Lincolnshire after the extinction of the descendants of Eustace de Vescy[223].

m MARGERY de Vescy, daughter of WARIN de Vescy & his wife ---. A manuscript of Malton Priory names “Marjoriæ filiæ et hæredi” of “Warino de Vesci”, and records the descent of “Gilbertus de Aton” from her[224]. The Testa de Nevill includes a list of landholdings in Yorkshire, dated 1219, which includes "Margeria de Vescy" holding land[225].

Gilbert & his wife had one child:

1. WILLIAM de Aton . The primary source which confirms his parentage has not yet been identified. m ---. The name of William’s wife is not known. William & his wife had [three] children:

b) WILLIAM de Aton . The primary source which confirms his parentage has not yet been identified. m ISABEL de Veer, daughter of SIMON de Veer of Goxhill, Lincolnshire and Sproatley, Holderness & his wife Ada Bertram. The primary source which confirms her parentage and marriage has not yet been identified. William & his wife had one child:

i) GILBERT de Aton ([1288/89]-after 10 Apr 1350). The primary source which confirms his parentage has not yet been identified.

- see below.

ii) --- de Aton . m ---. One child:

(a) ALICE de Aton (-after Apr 1358). The testament of "Gilbert de Aton" is dated 10 Apr 1350, requests burial "a Watton", makes bequests to "William mon fitz…Alice de Aton ma Nece"[227].

c) [ISABEL de Aton (-before 17 Jun 1321). The Complete Peerage quotes a writ dated 17 Jun 1321 which refers to property in Swyndene, Yorkshire granted by "Gilbertus de Aton" to "Isabelle de Aton et heredibus de corpore ipsius Isabelle" which passed on her death to "domini Johannis filii domini Rogeri Darcy militis…fil et her eiusdem Isabelle"[228]. The wording of this document is consistent with Isabel being the sister of Gilbert although the document does not specify the relationship. m ROGER Darcy of Oldcotes and Styrrup, Nottinghamshire, son of --- (-before 12 May 1284).]

GILBERT de Aton, son of WILLIAM de Aton & his wife Isabel de Veer ([1288/89]-after 10 Apr 1350). The primary source which confirms his parentage has not yet been identified. The testament of "Dominus Henricus de Percy Senior" is dated 13 Sep 1349 and makes bequests to "…Isabellæ filiæ meæ…Domino Willielmo de Aton…Domino Gilberto de Aton…"[229]. The testament of "Gilbert de Aton" is dated 10 Apr 1350, requests burial "a Watton", makes bequests to "William mon fitz…Alice de Aton ma Nece"[230].

m ---. The name of Gilbert’s wife is not known.

Gilbert & his wife had one child:

1. WILLIAM de Aton (-[29 Sep 1385/Mar 1389]). The testament of "Dominus Henricus de Percy Senior" is dated 13 Sep 1349 and makes bequests to "…Isabellæ filiæ meæ…Domino Willielmo de Aton…Domino Gilberto de Aton…"[231]. A charter dated [Mar] 1349 (presumably O.S.) records an agreement between the abbot of Selby and “monsieur William de Aton chevauler fitz et heir monsieur Gilbert de Aton”[232]. He was summoned to parliament in 1371 whereby he is held to have become Lord Aton. William Lord Aton granted his manor of Barlby to "Ralph Eure, John Conyers, and William Playce" by charter dated 29 Sep 1385[233]. He died before his son-in-law Edward St John[234]. m [firstly] (after 1350) ISABEL Percy, daughter of HENRY Percy Lord Percy & his wife Idonia de Clifford (-[before 25 May 1368]). A manuscript genealogy of the Percy family names “Alianoram, Matildem…et Isabellam” as the daughters of “Henricus” and his wife “Idoniam de Clifford”[235]. Her marriage is suggested by the testament of Thomas Percy Bishop of Norwich, dated 25 May 1368, which names "…William d’Aton my nephew…" as one of his beneficiaries[236]. As the testator names his other two sisters, it is suggested that Isabel must have died before the date of the will. [m secondly (before Oct 1374) --- de Poynings, daughter of MICHAEL de Poynings Lord Poynings & his wife Joan --- (after 1348-after 28 Oct 1374). The testament of "Thomas Lord Poynings", dated 28 Oct 1374, names "Lady D’Aton my sister" among his beneficiaries[237]. It is likely that this entry refers to an otherwise unrecorded second wife of William Lord Aton, who was alive at that date and whose wife would therefore have been the only "Lady d’Aton". It seems incorrect, as assumed in the Complete Peerage[238], that she was the same person as Margaret, wife of Lord Aton’s son William, as the latter’s wife would not have borne the title during the lifetime of her husband’s father.] William & his wife had four children:

a) WILLIAM de Aton (-before 1389). The testament of Thomas Percy Bishop of Norwich, dated 25 May 1368, names "…William d’Aton my nephew…" as one of his beneficiaries[239]. m MARGARET, daughter of --- (-after 1396).

b) ANASTASIA de Aton . m EDWARD St John, son of --- (-7 Mar 1389).

c) KATHERINE de Aton . m as his second wife, RALPH Eure of Witton Castle, co Durham, son of --- (-10 Mar 1422). William Lord Aton granted his manor of Barlby to "Ralph Eure, John Conyers, and William Playce" by charter dated 29 Sep 1385[240].

d) ELIZABETH de Aton (-before 1 May 1402). The testament of "Elizabeth nuper uxor Johannis Conyers militis", proved 1 May 1402, chooses burial "in ecclesia Fratrum Minorum infra civitatem Ebor." appoints "Waltero de Weston" as her heir[241]. m firstly WILLIAM Playce, son of ---. William Lord Aton granted his manor of Barlby to "Ralph Eure, John Conyers, and William Playce" by charter dated 29 Sep 1385[242]. m secondly (before 29 Sep 1385) JOHN Conyers of Sockburn, co Durham, son of --- (-before 6 Mar 1395). William Lord Aton granted his manor of Barlby to "Ralph Eure, John Conyers, and William Playce" by charter dated 29 Sep 1385[243].

AVENELL

1. WILLIAM Avenell . The Descriptio militum de Abbatia de Burgo records "Willelmus Avenel" with "feodum dimidii militis" held from "abbatia de Burch" [in Hampshire][244]. The 1130 Pipe Roll records "Willo Auenello" in Buckinghamshire and in Bedfordshire, Warwickshire[245].

2. ROBERT Avenell . The 1130 Pipe Roll records "Rob Auenello" in Suffolk[246].

3. RANDULF Avenell . The 1130 Pipe Roll records "Ranfi Auenelli" in Sussex[247]. m ALICE, daughter of ---. The Fundationis et Fundatorum Historia of Ford Abbey records that “domina Alicia uxor domini Randolphi Avenell filia sua” succeeded “vicecomitissa Adelicia” in “dominio de Okehampton…et castrum Exoniæ”[248]. Randulf & his wife had [one child]:

a) MATILDA Avenell (-21 Sep 1173). The Fundationis et Fundatorum Historia of Ford Abbey records that “domina Alicia uxor domini Randolphi Avenell filia sua” had “unicam filiam…Matildam” who died[249]. The Fundationis et Fundatorum Historia of Ford Abbey records that “domina Alicia uxor domini Randolphi Avenell filia sua…unicam filiam…Matildam” married “Roberto filio regis Henrici primi notho” after the death of her first husband “Roberto de Abrincis id est de Averinges”, and died “IX Kal Oct 1173”[250]. As noted in the document NORMANDY NOBILITY-AVRANCHES, BAYEUX, COTENTIN, charter evidence indicates that the wife of Robert FitzEdith was Mathilde d’Avranches, daughter of Matilda Avenell, not Matilda Avenell herself. Matilda’s supposed second marriage, as reported in the Ford Abbey document, is therefore assumed to be incorrect. m (after 1130) as his second wife, ROBERT d’Avranches, son of [WILLIAM FitzWimund d’Avranches & his wife ---] (-before 1142).

Two brothers:

1. WILLIAM Avenell (-after [1172]).

AVRANCHES

[Two possible brothers. The name “Rualon” suggests a Breton origin.]

1. RUALON d’Avranches (-[1130/34]). The Chronicle of Abingdon records that Henry I King of England notified "Hugoni de Boclanda et Willielmo vicecomiti de Oxeneford" that he had granted "manerium...de Estantona" [Stanton Harcourt] to "Rualucus de Abrincis", undated[291]. Johnson & Cronne date this charter to [May 1101][292]. Lord of Folkestone, de iure uxoris. Sheriff of Kent. The 1130 Pipe Roll records "Rualon de Abrinc...qd fuit int eu et Hasc de Taneia" among “Nova Placita et Nove Conventiones” in Essex and “Rualon de Abrinc” returning for “terra Atson de Sco Audoeno” in Kent, and naming “Rualon vicec” in Kent[293]. m MATHILDE de Muneville, daughter of NELE de Muneville & his wife Emma d’Arques. “Willielmus de Abrincis miles dominus de Folkestan” confirmed donations to Folkestone priory, including the donations made by "domini Nigelli de Munevilla quondam domini de Folkestan antecessoris mei…cum uxore sua Emma" for the souls of "antecessorum suorum…Willielmi de Archis et Beatricis uxoris illius" by undated charter, which also records that Nele died without male heirs and that Henry I King of England married "filiam eius…Matildam" to "Rualoni de Abrincis"[294].

2. [TURGIS d’Avranches . The 1130 Pipe Roll records "Turgis de Abrinc" accounting for “terra et uxore Hug de Albtiuilla et filium suum habet in custodia” in Kent[298]. The common connection with Kent suggests that Turgis may have been closely related to Rualon d’Avranches, maybe they were brothers.]

SIMON [I] d’Avranches, son of WILLIAM [I] d’Avranches & his wife --- (-1203). Domesday Descendants records his parentage but does not cite the primary source which confirms the information[299].

m CECILIA, daughter of --- (-after 1219).

Simon [I] & his wife had three children:

1. WILLIAM [II] d’Avranches (-6 Nov 1230). Henry III King of England ordered "Petro de Maulay" to release "Cecilie de Abbrincis et Willelmo de Abbrincis filio suo, Simonem fratrem ipsius Willelmi, laicum", but retain "Gaufrido fratre ipsius Willelmi clerico et Matillide filia ipsius Willelmi", dated 21 Nov 1216[302]. m MATILDA de Bocland, daughter of WILLIAM de Bocland & his wife Matilda de Say (-after 1218)---.

William & his wife had two children:

a) WILLIAM [III] d’Avranches (-2 Jan 1236). His parentage is shown in The Complete Peerage[304]. The primary source which confirms this information has not yet been identified.

b) MATILDA d’Avranches (-before 6 Apr 1263). Henry III King of England ordered "Petro de Maulay" to release "Cecilie de Abbrincis et Willelmo de Abbrincis filio suo, Simonem fratrem ipsius Willelmi, laicum", but retain "Gaufrido fratre ipsius Willelmi clerico et Matillide filia ipsius Willelmi", dated 21 Nov 1216[305]. A writ dated 6 Apr "47 Hen III", after the death of "Hamo de Creuequer…and Maud de Avereng…sometime his wife", names their heirs and records that Hamon married "Maud sister and heiress of William de Averenches"[306]. A writ dated 24 May "25 Edw I", after the death of "Mabel late the wife of John Tregoz", records in relation to Weston that it was "held in free marriage of the barony of Averenchis…[by] Maud daughter of and heir of William de Averenchis the elder…Hamo le Creveker married her…" and names her heirs[307]. m as his second wife, HAMON de Crèvecœur, son of ROBERT de Crèvecœur & his wife --- (-before 6 Apr 1263).

A table in The Complete Peerage shows that Joanna married secondly Geoffrey d’Avranches[311]. This is incorrect, her actual second husband being Geoffrey’s brother Simon d’Avranches, as shown by the following document which links Redcot in Oxfordshire (recorded as held by Simon d’Avranches following Joanna’s father, see above) with Joanna de Ferrers née de Bocland[312]. A writ dated 16 Nov "37 Hen III", after the death of "Joan de Ferres alias de Ferrers", names as her heir "John de Everenges alias de Averenges her son aged 23", and names Brumpton manor in Somerset, and Redcot and Grafton in Oxfordshire as her properties[313]. Simon & his wife had one child:

John & his wife had five children:

(a) SARAH Bagot (-before 10 May 1259).

It appears likely that this daughter was her parents´ oldest child in view of the age of her sister Philippa recorded in the same document (although that age must be underestimated, see below). A plea heard in early 1333 records that "John Bagod" had been seized with the manor of Blymhill and was succeeded by "Sarra, Margaret, Joan, and Philippa his daughters", adding that Sarah married "William de Ipstanes"[355]. m WILLIAM de Ipstones, son of ---.

Philippa´s age in this document must be under-estimated in view of the estimated date of death of her father. A plea heard in early 1333 records that "John Bagod" had been seized with the manor of Blymhill and was succeeded by "Sarra, Margaret, Joan, and Philippa his daughters", adding that Philippa married "Geoffrey de Bromleye"[361]. m GEOFFREY de Bromley, son of ---.

BEAUCHAMP

A. BEAUCHAMP of WARWICKSHIRE, BEDFORDSHIRE

1. HUGH de Beauchamp ([1050/60]-[1114]). His birth date range is suggested by his absence from any charters of King William I, which indicates that he may have come of age in the latter part of the king’s reign. Domesday Book records “Hugh de Beauchamp” holding land in Bengeo in Hertford Hundred in Hertfordshire; Linslade and Soulbury in Cottesloe Hundred and Lathbury in Bunsty Hundred in Buckinghamshire; and numerous properties in Bedfordshire[428]. William II King of England confirmed to "Hugh of Beauchamp and all his barons of Bucks" that Gilbert Abbot of Westminster had proved his title to land granted by King William I, by charter dated to [1087/95][429]. "…Hugo de Beauchamp…" witnessed the undated charter under which King William II instructed Ramsey abbey to return fugitives if found[430]. "Hugh de Beauchamp, Ralph Paganel" witnessed the charter dated to [1094/1100] under which William II King of England granted a market to St Mary of Thorney[431]. m MATILDA, daughter of ---. Her marriage is confirmed by the Chronicon Rameseiensis which records a donation which names "quatuor ex hominibus Simonis de Bellocampo et Mahald matris eius", dated to [1124/30][432]. A charter of Ramsey abbey dated to [1124/30] names "Simonis de Bello Campo et Mahald matris eius"[433]. Hugh & his wife had two children:

a) SIMON de Beauchamp (-[1137]). "…Simone de Bello Campo…" witnessed the charter dated 1114 under which Henry I King of England granted the land of Roger de Worcester to Walter de Beauchamp[434]. A charter of Ramsey abbey dated to [1124/30] names "Simonis de Bello Campo et Mahald matris eius"[435]. The 1130 Pipe Roll records "Symon de Belcapo" in Bedfordshire[436]. Orderic Vitalis records that Bedford castle had been granted to "Rodberti de Bello Campo…frater eius", presumably referring to Simon as the same paragraph records his daughter’s marriage[437]. "…Simundus de Belecamp…" witnessed the charter of Ramsey abbey dated to [1133/37] which records that "Walterus de Bolebeche…Heylenius uxor sua et Hugo filius suus" donated "terram de Waltone"[438]. m ---. The name of Simon’s wife is not known. Simon & his wife had one child:

i) daughter . Orderic Vitalis records that "Hugoni cognomento Pauperi" married "filiam Simonis de Bello Campo"[439]. m HUGH de Beaumont, son of ROBERT de Beaumont-le-Roger Comte de Meulan, Earl of Leicester & his wife Elisabeth de Vermandois [Capet] (-after 1140). A favourite of King Stephen who gave him the castle and barony of Bedford in 1138, thereby creating him Earl of Bedford. He was ejected from Bedford by his wife’s first cousins, the sons of Robert Beauchamp. He appears to have lapsed into poverty and was probably degraded from his peerage[440].

b) ROBERT de Beauchamp (-before 1130). Orderic Vitalis records that Bedford castle had been granted to "Rodberti de Bello Campo…frater eius" (the latter referring to Simon de Beauchamp)[441]. He presumably died before the 1129/30 Pipe Roll in which his son is named. m ---. The name of Robert’s wife is not known. Robert & his wife had two children:

i) MILES [I] de Beauchamp (-after [1141/42]). The 1130 Pipe Roll records "Miloni de Belcampo" in Buckinghamshire[442]. The Gesta Stephani Regis records that King Stephen besieged "Milonem de Bellocampo" in the castle of Bedford, dated to [1140/42][443]. Orderic Vitalis records that "filii Rodberti de Bello Campo" held the castle of Bedford against King Stephen[444]. Empress Matilda made various grants of property by charter dated to [1141/42] witnessed by "…Milo de Belloc’…"[445]. "…Milone de Bellocampo…" witnessed the charter dated [25/31] Jul 1141 under which "M. imperatrix, Henrici regis filia et Anglorum domina" confirmed various properties to "Willelmo de Bello Campo" [William [I] de Beauchamp, son of Walter [I] de Beauchamp, see Part B. of this chapter below][446].

ii) PAYN de Beauchamp (-1156). The primary source which confirms his parentage has not yet been identified. Lord of Bedford. “Paganus de Bellocampo et uxor eius Rohaisa comitissa” founded Chicksand priory, for the soul of “…Simonis de Bellocampo…”, by undated charter dated to [1150][447]. “Ricardus de Bellocampo” donated "ecclesiam de Lamerseia" to Colne Priory, Essex, with the consent of "Adelinæ uxoris meæ", by undated charter, witnessed by "Pagano de Bellocampo, Stephano et Waltero de Bellocampo"[448]. “Paganum et comitissam Roheis…sponsa mea” donated property to Thorney Monastery, by undated charter witnessed by “dominella Elena…Ivo Taillebois…”[449]. m (after 1144) as her second husband, ROHESE de Vere, widow of GEOFFREY de Mandeville Earl of Essex, daughter of AUBREY de Vere, Chamberlain of England & his wife Adelisa de Clare ([1105/10]-after 1166, bur Chicksand Priory). “G de Magnavilla et Roeisa uxor eius” donated property to Hurley Priory, Berkshire by undated charter[450]. “Paganus de Bellocampo et uxor eius Rohaisa comitissa” founded Chicksand priory, for the soul of “…Simonis de Bellocampo…”, by undated charter dated to [1150][451]. “Paganum et comitissam Roheis…sponsa mea” donated property to Thorney Monastery, by undated charter witnessed by “dominella Elena…Ivo Taillebois…”[452]. A manuscript document narrating the foundation of Newenham Priory names “Paganus de Bello-campo” as its founder, his wife “Roisia”, and their son “Simon de Bellocampo”[453]. Payn & his wife had [two] children:

(a) [HELEN . “Paganum et comitissam Roheis…sponsa mea” donated property to Thorney Monastery, by undated charter witnessed by “dominella Elena…”[454]. It is probable that "dominella Elena", as first in the list of subscribers, was closely related to the donors, possibly their daughter. If this is correct, the absence of the couple’s known son Simon suggests that Helen must have been their oldest suriviving child.]

(b) SIMON de Beauchamp (-1207). A manuscript document narrating the foundation of Newenham Priory names “Paganus de Bello-campo” as its founder, his wife “Roisia”, and their son “Simon de Bello-campo”[455]. Lord of Bedford.

- see below.

Two brothers, parents not known. From a chronological point of view, they could have been otherwise unrecorded sons of Hugh de Beauchamp (see above). However, it is not known whether Hugh was the only member of the Beauchamp family who came to England from Normandy. The connection with the Peveril family (see the document UNTITLED ENGLISH NOBILITY P-S), suggested by the name William Peveril [I] de Beauchamp, has not been traced.

1. WALTER [I] de Beauchamp of Elmley Castle, Worcestershire ([1080/95]-[1130/May 1133]). His birth date is estimated very broadly based on his marriage before 1114. Henry I King of England notified "Osberto de Abetot et ministris [et] forestariis de foresta de Feccham" that he had granted a fox-hunting licence in his forest in Feckenham to "Waltero de Bello Campo" by charter dated to [1110/16][456].

- BEAUCHAMP of ELMLEY, WORCESTERSHIRE.

2. WILLIAM Peveril [I] de Beauchamp (-[1151/57]). The 1130 Pipe Roll records "Peur de Belcapo" in Gloucestershire[457]. "…Willelmo de Bellocampo…" witnessed the charter dated to [1142/46] under which "M. imperatrix, Henrici regis filia et Anglorum domina et Henricus filius comitis Andegavie" confirmed the rights of "Unfrido de Buhun" in the lands he held on the death of her father[458]. "Willelmus Peuerel de Bellocampo, frater Walteri de Bellocampo" donated "uillam…Chodestun" {Cutsdean} to Worcester Cathedral priory, with the consent of "Willelmo Peuerel herede meo", by charter dated to [1149/57][459]. A charter dated to [1151/57] confirmed the previous donation and that, after the death of "Peuerellus de Bellocampo", "Guuillelmus Peuerel ipsius filius et heres" confirmed his father’s donation[460]. m ---. The name of William’s wife is not known. William & his wife had one child:

a) WILLIAM Peveril [II] de Beauchamp (-after 1166). "Willelmus Peuerel de Bellocampo, frater Walteri de Bellocampo" donated "uillam…Chodestun" {Cutsdean} to Worcester Cathedral priory, with the consent of "Willelmo Peuerel herede meo", by charter dated to [1149/57][461]. A charter dated to [1151/57] confirmed the previous donation and that, after the death of "Peuerellus de Bellocampo", "Guuillelmus Peuerel ipsius filius et heres" confirmed his father’s donation[462]. Military fee certifications in the Red Book of the Exchequer, in 1166, record "Peverel de Bello Campo…Stephanus de Bello Campo" each holding two knights’ fees from "Hamo filius Meinfelin" in Buckinghamshire[463].

The parents of Oliver de Beauchamp are not known. From a chronological point of view, he could have been another son of Robert, son of Hugh de Beauchamp (see above).

1. OLIVER de Beauchamp ([1110/25]-before 1157). “Oliveri de Bello-campo” is named as father of “Hugo de Bello-campo” in an undated charter for Thorney monastery[464]. No other reference to Oliver has been found. His estimated birth date range is suggested from his son Hugh being, presumably, of age when he is named in the 1157 Pipe Roll. This range is consistent with his having been a younger brother of Payn de Beauchamp Lord of Beauchamp, son of Robert de Beauchamp, as also is his son’s holding land in Bedfordshire.

- OTHER BEAUCHAMP FAMILIES.

1. MURIEL de Beauchamp (-after 1129). The 1130 Pipe Roll records "Murieli de Belcapo" in Leicestershire[465].

B. BEAUCHAMP of ELMLEY, WORCESTERSHIRE

The parentage of Walter de Beauchamp has not been confirmed in any of the primary sources which have been consulted during the preparation of the present document. From a chronological point of view, he could have been the son of Hugh de Beauchamp (see Part A). However, it is not known whether Hugh was the only member of the Beauchamp family who came to England from Normandy. A hint about his family relationships is provided by the charter dated [25/31] Jul 1141 under which "M. imperatrix, Henrici regis filia et Anglorum domina" confirmed, among other property, the property of "suorum proximorum parentum qui contra me fuerint in werra mea", to Walter’s son "Willelmo de Bello Campo"[504]. The "proximorum parentum" in question have not been identified, and unfortunately the document does not specify the properties which were granted to William de Beauchamp. Miles [I] de Beauchamp (see Part A. of the present chapter, above) is excluded as he witnessed the same document and therefore must also have been a supporter of Empress Matilda.

WALTER [I] de Beauchamp of Elmley Castle, Worcestershire, son of --- ([1080/95]-[1130/May 1133]). His birth date is estimated very broadly based on his marriage before 1114. Henry I King of England notified "Osberto de Abetot et ministris [et] forestariis de foresta de Feccham" that he had granted a fox-hunting licence in his forest in Feckenham to "Waltero de Bello Campo" by charter dated to [1110/16][505]. Henry I King of England notified "Osberto vicecomiti et omnibus forestariis de Wirecestrasera" that he had granted a wolf-hunting licence in his forest in Worcestershire to "Waltero de Bello Campo" by charter dated to [1106/13][506]. Henry I King of England granted "totam terram Rogeri de Wygrecestra", in and around the town of Worcester, to "Waltero de Bello Campo" by charter dated to [1114, after 15 Aug][507]. Henry I King of England notified the bishop of Worcester that he had granted "vicecomitatum de Wigresestrasia" to "Waltero de Bello Campo" by charter dated to [Dec 1113/Apr 1116][508]. "…Walto de Bello Campo…" subscribed the charter date [3/10] Jun 1123 under which Henry I King of England granted the lands of "Edrici fil Chetelli" to "Walto de Gloec"[509]. Henry I King of England notified the bishop of Worcester that he had granted "terram que fuit Adelize uxoris Ursonis de Abbetot sicut ipsa Adeliza eam ei concessit" to "Waltero de Bello Campo" by charter dated to [1123/Jul 1129][510]. The 1130 Pipe Roll records "Walto de Belcapo" in Wiltshire (two entries) and in Gloucestershire[511].

m (before Aug 1114) [EMMELINE], daughter of URSE de Abitot & his wife Adelisa ---. Round states that the wife of Walter de Beauchamp was the daughter of Urse de Abitot but he does not cite the corresponding primary source which confirms that this is correct[512]. Ellis says that "Emmeline Roger’s sister was wife of Walter de Beauchamp, who obtained the fief of Urso and the shrievalty of Worcestershire, which Henry I confirmed to him, together wih the office of one of the king’s dispensers which Robert brother of Urso had formerly held, and the land given him by Adelisa the widow of Urso"[513]. If this information is all correct, it appears to establish Emmeline’s parentage and marriage. The corresponding sources are set out in the Beauchamp cartulary, and quoted above under Emmeline’s husband’s entry. The documents do not explicitly state that Walter’s wife was the daughter of Urse de Abitot and brother of Roger de Abitot, but this is a reasonable implication. The latest date of her marriage is assessed from the dating of the first of these charters. The primary source which confirms her name has not yet been identified.

Walter [I] & his wife had [three] children:

1. WILLIAM [I] de Beauchamp (-1170, bur Worcester). Henry I King of England confirmed the inheritance by "Willelmo filio Walteri de Bello Campo, dispensario meo" of "terram totam patris sui" by charter dated to [1130/May 1133][514]. "M. imperatrix, Henrici regis filia et Anglorum domina" confirmed "hereditario jure castellum de Wigorn…vicecomitatum Wygorn…quam pater eius Walterus de Bellocampo…Robertus dispensator, frater Ursonis de Abbetot…manerium de Bekeford…Westonam et Luffenham in Roteland", as well as the property of "suorum proximorum parentum qui contra me fuerint in werra mea", to "Willelmo de Bello Campo" by charter dated [25/31] Jul 1141[515]. “…Waltero de Clifford…Osberto filio Hugonis, Willielmo de Bealchamp…” witnessed the undated charter, dated to [1155], which records the donation by “Rogerus comes Herefordiæ” to Brecknock priory[516]. The 1156 Pipe Roll records "Wills. de Bellocampo" at the head of the return for Worcestershire, and the 1156 and 1157 Pipe Rolls "Wills de Bello Capo" at Trentham in Staffordshire with revenue of ₤30[517]. The Annals of Tewkesbury record that “Willelmus de Bello Campo” was captured by “Radulpho de Mandeville” in 1151[518]. Military fee certifications in the Red Book of the Exchequer, in 1166, name "Willelmus de Bello Campo vii milites…Walterus de Bello Campo, dimidium militum" among those providing military service for Westminster abbey in Worcestershire, and also record the knight fee-holders under "Willelmus de Bello Campo" in Worcestershire[519]. The Annals of Worcester record the death in 1170 of “Willelmus de Bello Campo” and his burial “ad ostium capituli Wigorniæ”[520]. m [BERTHA de Briouse, daughter of [WILLIAM [II] de Briouse & his wife Bertha of Hereford]. According to Domesday Descendants, the wife of William [I] de Beauchamp was "Bertha, daughter of William II de Braose"[521]. The primary source which confirms her parentage and marriage has not yet been identified but, if it is correct, the chronology of her husband’s family suggests that she must have been one of her parents’ older children. The introduction to the Beauchamp Cartulary states that "according to an early 14th century inquest, he married Berta, a daughter of the marcher lord William de Braose c. 1140 and received with her lands in three villages in south Gloucestershire", but noting that the jurors incorrectly state that Bertha was the wife of the great-grandfather of Guy Earl of Warwick who would have been William [II] de Beauchamp[522]. Given the birth of William [II] de Beauchamp’s children in the mid-1190s, it does not appear possible for their mother to have been the daughter of William [II] de Briouse. A connection between the Briouse and Beauchamp families is indicated by the claim brought by Amice (wife of William [II] de Beauchamp) in 1198 against William de Briouse, presumably identifiable as William [III] de Briouse. The implication is that the land in Oxfordshire, subject of the claim, was inherited by Amice’s infant son (on behalf of whom she was presumably acting) from Briouse ancestors. If that is correct, a likely explanation is that the land was inherited from the infant’s maternal grandmother, having been brought to William [I] de Beauchamp on his marriage. Nevertheless the chronology is not ideal, considering the dating of the marriage of William [I]’s father to before Aug 1114 (which suggests that William [I] must have been considerably older than his wife if she was the daughter of William [II] de Briouse) and the birth of his grandson William [II] in [1194/96].] William [I] & his wife had [six] children:

a) WILLIAM [II] de Beauchamp (-1197). The primary source which confirms his parentage has not yet been identified. The Annals of Worcester record the death in 1197 of “Willelmus de Bello Campo”[523].

- see below.

b) ROBERT de Beauchamp (-after 1209). "Roberto de Bello Campo, Petro et Johanne fratribus meis…" witnessed the charter dated to [1170/97] under which "Willelmus de Bello Campo" granted land to "Odoni de Salewarp fideli meo"[524]. "Roberto de Bello Campo, Petro de Bello Campo, Waltero fratre Willelmi de Bello Campo…" witnessed the charter dated to [1170/97] under which "Odo de Salewarp" granted land to "Juliane [nepote/nepte] mee filie Willelmi de Bello Campo"[525]. "Roberto de Bello Campo, Petro [et] Johanne de Bello Campo, fratribus [meis], Ivone de Bello Campo…" witnessed the charter dated to [1170/97] under which "Willelmus de Bello Campo" granted land to "Roberto de Argent"[526]. The introduction to the Beauchamp Cartulary states that the custody of William [III] de Beauchamp, son of William [II] ("Wilekin de Beauchamp") was transferred in 1209 to "the free tenants of the honour, headed by Robert de Beauchamp, a brother of William [II]…for four years"[527].

c) PETER de Beauchamp (-after [1194/95]). "Roberto de Bello Campo, Petro et Johanne fratribus meis…" witnessed the charter dated to [1170/97] under which "Willelmus de Bello Campo" granted land to "Odoni de Salewarp fideli meo"[528]. "Roberto de Bello Campo, Petro de Bello Campo, Waltero fratre Willelmi de Bello Campo…" witnessed the charter dated to [1170/97] under which "Odo de Salewarp" granted land to "Juliane [nepote/nepte] mee filie Willelmi de Bello Campo"[529]. "Roberto de Bello Campo, Petro [et] Johanne de Bello Campo, fratribus [meis], Ivone de Bello Campo…" witnessed the charter dated to [1170/97] under which "Willelmus de Bello Campo" granted land to "Roberto de Argent"[530]. The 1194/95 Pipe Roll records "de firma de Brochton Petri de Bellocamp de dimidio anno" in Worcestershire[531].

d) JOHN de Beauchamp . "Roberto de Bello Campo, Petro et Johanne fratribus meis…" witnessed the charter dated to [1170/97] under which "Willelmus de Bello Campo" granted land to "Odoni de Salewarp fideli meo"[532]. "Roberto de Bello Campo, Petro [et] Johanne de Bello Campo, fratribus [meis], Ivone de Bello Campo…" witnessed the charter dated to [1170/97] under which "Willelmus de Bello Campo" granted land to "Roberto de Argent"[533].

e) [WALTER de Beauchamp . "Roberto de Bello Campo, Petro de Bello Campo, Waltero fratre Willelmi de Bello Campo…" witnessed the charter dated to [1170/97] under which "Odo de Salewarp" granted land to "Juliane [nepote/nepte] mee filie Willelmi de Bello Campo"[534]. This is the only one of the series of charters, naming William [II] de Beauchamp and his brothers, which names a brother Walter. It is possibility that "Waltero" in this document is an error for "Johanne" who is named in all the other documents. It should be borne in mind that the Beauchamp cartulary, in which this charter is reproduced, was compiled in 1395/96 and contains "innumerable errors"[535].]

f) [EMMA (-after Sep 1192). According to Dugdale, the wife of Ralph de Sudeley was the daughter of William de Beauchamp of Elmley[536], but the primary source on which this information is based has not been traced. m RALPH de Sudeley, son of JOHN de Sudeley & his wife Grace de Tracy (-before 29 Sep 1192).]

2. [WALTER [II] de Beauchamp (-after 1166). Military fee certifications in the Red Book of the Exchequer, in 1166, name "Willelmus de Bello Campo vii milites…Walterus de Bello Campo, dimidium militum" among those providing military service for Westminster abbey in Worcestershire[537]. No confirmation has yet been found that Walter [II] was the brother of William [I] de Beauchamp. However, their names are nearly adjacent in the listing, and Walter is a name used in William’s family. “Ricardus de Bellocampo” donated "ecclesiam de Lamerseia" to Colne Priory, Essex, with the consent of "Adelinæ uxoris meæ", by undated charter, witnessed by "Pagano de Bellocampo, Stephano et Waltero de Bellocampo"[538].]

The precise relationships between the following persons and the main Beauchamp family have not been confirmed.

1. IVO de Beauchamp . "Roberto de Bello Campo, Petro [et] Johanne de Bello Campo, fratribus [meis], Ivone de Bello Campo…" witnessed the charter dated to [1170/97] under which "Willelmus de Bello Campo" granted land to "Roberto de Argent"[539].

2. MATILDA de Beauchamp . Her marriage and family origin are confirmed by the undated charter under which her son "Robert Marmion, neveu de Guillaume de Beauchamp" made a declaration concerning a donation of property to Sainte-Marie-de-Barberie and the charter dated 1224 under which "Robert Marmion le jeune, fils de Mathilde de Beauchamp" donated property to the same abbey[540]. There is no certainty that “neveu” in this document should be interpreted in its strict sense of “nephew”, given the broad range of relationships indicated by the Latin equivalent “nepos”. The chronology of her husband’s family suggests that Matilda may have belonged to the same generation as William [II] de Beauchamp. m as his first wife, ROBERT Marmion [V], son of ROBERT Marmion [IV] & his wife --- (-before [1217]).

WILLIAM [II] de Beauchamp, son of WILLIAM [I] de Beauchamp & his wife Bertha de Briouse (-1197). The primary source which confirms his parentage has not yet been identified. The Red Book of the Exchequer, listing scutage payments in [1190/91], records "Willelmus de Bello Campo" paying "lxx s de militibus, quos tenet de Rege in diversis comitatius, vii milites" in Worcestershire[541]. The Red Book of the Exchequer, listing scutage payments in [1194/95], records "Willelmo de Bello Campo" paying "vii l de toto sentagio quod promisit domino Regi" in Worcestershire[542]. The Annals of Worcester record the death in 1197 of “Willelmus de Bello Campo”[543].

m AMICE, daughter of ---. The primary source which confirms her marriage has not yet been identified. The introduction to the Beauchamp Cartulary states that it is clear from the cartulary of Westwood priory that "Amice (or Avice) ‘lady of Salwarpe’ was the mother of William [II]’s heir and other children"[544]. The Rotuli Curiæ Regis record a claim in 1198 by "Amic de Bello Campo" against "Will de Brause" relating to land in Oxfordshire[545]. Amice was presumably acting in the name of her infant son, presumably in relation to land in which he has inherited an interest from the Briouse family, which provides a further indication of the identity of his paternal grandmother noted above.

[Mistress (1): --- de Salwarpe, sister of Odo de Salwarpe, daughter of ---. The identity of the mother of Juliana, daughter of William [II] de Beauchamp, is suggested by the three charters quoted below. The implication of the documents is that Juliana was illegitimate, and that the grant of property made by William [II] de Beauchamp to Odo de Salwarpe under the first document amounted to compensation for getting his sister pregnant, on the understanding that the property in question would later be transmitted to his [illegitimate] daughter, the transfer being effected by the second document and confirmed by the third. However, see the reference under Amice, wife of William [II] de Beauchamp, to her being “lady of Salwarpe” which, if correct, suggests that this possible mistress may have been the same person as his wife.]

William [II] & his wife had two children:

1. WILLIAM [III] de Beauchamp ([1194/96]-[1210/11]). The introduction to the Beauchamp Cartulary states that William [III] de Beauchamp, son of William [II], was in the custody of William [III] de Briouse in 1200[546]. The introduction to the Beauchamp Cartulary states that the custody of "Wilekin de Beauchamp" was transferred in 1209 to "the free tenants of the honour, headed by Robert de Beauchamp, a brother of William [II]…for four years"[547]. The period of four years remaining while William [III] was still a minor indicates that he was born in the last years of his father’s life.

2. WALTER [III] de Beauchamp ([1195/97]-14 Apr 1236). The Red Book of the Exchequer records "Walterus de Bello Campo" holding 207 knights’ fees "in Uptone, Stanes, Graftone, Ayntone, Chedeleswale, Kokesaye, Benetlega, Pancevot, Bouresdale, Costone, Dunclere" in Worcestershire in [1210/12][548]. He is named “Watekin” in the 10 Jul 1214 document cited below under his first wife. The Annals of Worcester record the death “die Sancti Guthlaci” in 1235 of “Walterus de Bello Campo”[549]. The Annals of Tewkesbury record the death “XVIII Kal Mai” in 1236 of “W de Bellocampo”[550]. m firstly (after 10 Jul 1214) JOAN Mortimer, daughter of ROGER [III] de Mortimer & his [second] wife Isabel de Ferrers (-1225). King John requested the bishop of Winchester to enquire into the marriage of “Watekini de Bello Campo” and “Rogerus de Mortuo Mari...filie sue”, dated 10 Jul 1214[551]. The Annals of Worcester record that “Rogerus de Mortuo Mari…filiam suam” married “Waltero de Bello Campo”[552]. The Annals of Worcester record the death in 1225 of “Johanna de Mortuo Mari uxor Willelmi de Bello Campo”[553]. m secondly ANGHARAD, daughter of --- (-[1280/83]). The introduction to the Beauchamp Cartulary records that "Angaret" was the mother of Walter [II]’s son Hugh, and suggests that she may also have been the mother of his sons Thomas, Walter and John[554]. Her parentage is not known, but her name indicates Welsh origin. A lay subsidy roll for Worcester dated [1280] records "Domina Augereta de Bello Campo" in Bengeworth[555]. Walter [III] & his first wife had one child:

a) WILLIAM [IV] de Beauchamp (-[7 Jan/21 Apr] 1269, bur Worcester Franciscan Church). "Roculf de Chirchelench" issued a quitclaim to "domino Willelmo de Bello Campo, filio et heredi Walteri de Bello Campo" relating to "terram meam in campo de Chirchelench…vocatur la Hey" in return for a loan to repay the Jews, by charter dated to [1232/43][556]. Sheriff of Worcester: "Dominum Willelmum de Bello Campo, vicecomitem Wygorn et Isabellam uxorem eius" granted "totam terram suam…in Uplodecoumbe" to "dominam Isabellam de Mortuo Mare" [presumably the donor’s maternal grandmother] by charter dated [24 Jun 1250], witnessed by "…domino Jacobo de Bello Campo…"[557]. The will of "William de Beauchamp", dated 7 Jan 1268, chose burial “in the church of the Friars Minors of Worcester”, requested a daily mass there for the souls of “Isabel my wife, Isabel de Mortimer”, bequeathed property to "Walter my son...Joane my daughter...Isabel my daughter...Sibill my daughter...Sarah my daughter...William my eldest son...my daughter the countess his wife...Isabel my wife..."[558]. An undated writ "53 Hen III", after the death of "William de Bello Campo, of Elmelye" names "Wykewauer manor [Gloucester]" but no heir[559]. m ISABEL Mauduit, daughter of WILLIAM [IV] Mauduit of Hanslope, Berkshire & his wife Alice of Warwick (-after 7 Jan 1269). Her parentage and marriage are confirmed by a writ dated 20 Jan "52 Hen III", after the death of "William Maudut…earl of Warwick", which names her son "William de Bello Campo the younger, son of his sister Isabel deceased who was married to William de Bello Campo the elder, age variously stated as 26 and more, and 30 and more,, is his heir"[560]. "Dominum Willelmum de Bello Campo, vicecomitem Wygorn et Isabellam uxorem eius" granted "totam terram suam…in Uplodecoumbe" to "dominam Isabellam de Mortuo Mare" by charter dated [24 Jun 1250], witnessed by "…domino Jacobo de Bello Campo…"[561]. The will of "William de Beauchamp", dated 7 Jan 1268, chose burial “in the church of the Friars Minors of Worcester”, requested a daily mass there for the souls of “Isabel my wife, Isabel de Mortimer”, bequeathed property to "Walter my son...Joane my daughter...Isabel my daughter...Sibill my daughter...Sarah my daughter...William my eldest son...my daughter the countess his wife...Isabel my wife..."[562]. William [IV] & his wife had eight children:

i) WILLIAM [V] de Beauchamp ([1237/41]-Elmley 5 or 9 Jun 1298, bur 22 Jun 1298 Worcester Franciscan Church). The will of "William de Beauchamp", dated 7 Jan 1268, bequeathed property to "Walter my son...Joane my daughter...Isabel my daughter...Sibill my daughter...Sarah my daughter...William my eldest son...my daughter the countess his wife...Isabel my wife..."[563].

A writ dated 20 Jan "52 Hen III", after the death of "William Maudut…earl of Warwick", names "William de Bello Campo the younger, son of his sister Isabel deceased who was married to William de Bello Campo the elder, age variously stated as 26 and more, and 30 and more, is his heir"[565]. He succeeded his maternal uncle in Jan 1267 as Earl of Warwick. He succeeded his father in 1268 at Elmley and as hereditary Sheriff of Worcestershire.

ii) JOHN de Beauchamp of Holt (-[1261/7 Jan 1269]). "Willelmus de Bello Campo" granted "totum manerium meum de la Holte…cum advocatione ecclesie eiusdem" to "Johanni filio meo", with default to "Waltero fratri suo minori", by charter dated to [1258/69][566].

He is not named in his father’s testament dated 7 Jan 1268 so presumably died before that date.

iii) WALTER de Beauchamp of Alcester (-after 7 Jan 1269). "Willelmus de Bello Campo" granted "totum manerium meum de la Holte…cum advocatione ecclesie eiusdem" to "Johanni filio meo", with default to "Waltero fratri suo minori", by charter dated to [1258/69][568].

vi) MARGARET de Beauchamp (-after 1284). A genealogical table in the introduction to the Beauchamp Cartulary names "Isabel, Margaret, Sibil (unmarried 1269), Sarah (unmarried 1269)" as daughters of William [IV] de Beauchamp but cites no primary source which provides the basis for the information[577]. A document dated 1249 records a claim by “William de Bello Campo of Elmeleye” against “Henry Hose tenant for the manor of Titecumbe” [Tidcombe, Wiltshire], and the subsequent agreement between the two whereby “Henry has given William the marriage of Hubert his first-born son [...a minor] to...Margery, William’s daughter” with “dower...the manor of Tateswyk” [Tatwick, Somerset][578]. She is not named in her father’s 7 Jan 1268 testament. Inquiries following a writ dated 11 Jul "12 Edw I", in the presence of “Margaret late the wife of...Hubert [Huse]”, found that "Margaret, Maud and Isabel...daughters and next heirs of Hubert Huse" were "aged 18 at the feast of the Nativity of St John the Baptis 12 Edw I...15 at Christmas 12 Edw I and...13 at the feast of St Nicholas" respectively[579].

Henry is entitled as son of Margaret daughter of Hubert and Margaret, John as son of Isabella daughter of Hubert and Margaret”, dated 1375[580]. m (contract 1249) HUBERT Hussey [Hose/Husee], son of HENRY Hussey & his wife --- (-before 12 Jul 1275). Inquiries following a writ dated 26 Oct "13 Edw I" after the death of “Maud daughter of Hubert Husee” name "Margaret wife of...Henry Esturmy aged 24 and Isabel daughter of the said Hubert aged 14, sisters of the said Maud, are her next heirs"[581].

The will of "William de Beauchamp", dated 7 Jan 1268, bequeathed property to "Walter my son...Joane my daughter...Isabel my daughter...Sibill my daughter...Sarah my daughter...William my eldest son...my daughter the countess his wife...Isabel my wife..."[582].

viii) SARAH de Beauchamp (-after Jul 1317). A genealogical table in the introduction to the Beauchamp Cartulary names "Isabel, Margaret, Sibil (unmarried 1269), Sarah (unmarried 1269)" as daughters of William [IV] de Beauchamp but cites no primary source which provides the basis for the information[583]. The primary source which confirms her marriage has not been identified. m (after 7 Jan 1269) RICHARD [VI] Talbot, son of GILBERT Talbot & his wife Gwenthlian of Dynevor ([1249/50]-before 3 Sep 1306).

b) JAMES de Beauchamp (-[late Sep/early Oct] 1296). The introduction to the Beauchamp Cartulary indicates that Walter [III]’s wife Joan was probably the mother of his son James[584]. "Willelmus de Bello Campo" granted "manerium de Acton et centum solidos annui redditus in villa Wigorn…" to "Jacobo fratri meo" by charter dated to [1239/41][585]. "Willelmus de Bello Campo" issued a quitclaim to "domino Jacobo de Bello Campo fratri meo" relating to "manerio suo de Acton" by charter dated to [1239/69][586].

It is assumed that Isolde was the daughter of Robert Earl of Derby (died before 1160) but it is not impossible that she was the daughter of Robert’s father. Stephen & his first wife had two children:

i) RICHARD de Beauchamp (-before 20 Nov 1184).

ii) WALTER de Beauchamp (-before 20 Nov 1184).

Stephen & his second wife had six children (referred to, but not named, in the Rotuli de Dominabus 1185, see above):

OLIVER de Beauchamp, son of --- ([1110/25]-before 1157). “Oliveri de Bello-campo” is named as father of “Hugo de Bello-campo” in an undated charter for Thorney monastery[626]. No other reference to Oliver has been found. His estimated birth date range is suggested from his son Hugh being, presumably, of age when he is named in the 1157 Pipe Roll. This range is consistent with his having been a younger brother of Payn de Beauchamp Lord of Beauchamp, son of Robert de Beauchamp, as also is his son’s holding land in Bedfordshire. The primary source which confirms that this affiliation is correct has not been found.

m ---. The name of Oliver’s wife is not known.

Oliver & his wife had [three] children:

1. HUGH de Beauchamp of Eaton Scoton, Bedfordshire (-after 1190). The 1157 Pipe Roll records "Hug. de Bellocampo" in Buckinghamshire and Bedfordshire under "Nova Placita & Noue Conuentiones"[627].

The Red Book of the Exchequer, listing scutage payments in [1190/91], records "Milo de Bello Campo, Hugo de Bello Campo" paying "xv s, i militem" and "xx s, ii milites", respectively, in Buckinghamshire, Bedfordshire[634]. The fact that their names are adjacent suggests a close family relationship, maybe brothers. [m firstly ---. No proof has been found of this supposed first marriage. However, the charter of Hugh’s known wife Philippa de Trailly is witnessed only by her sons Miles and Richard. The omission of Hugh’s other children, who were probably alive at the date of the charter, suggests that they may have been born from an earlier marriage.] m [secondly] PHILIPPA de Trailly, daughter of GEOFFREY de Trailly & his wife ---. Philippa donated the land of her maritagium in Southill and Broom, Bedfordshire to Wardon abbey, for the souls of her father Geoffrey de Trailly and Hugh de Beauchamp her deceased husband, by undated charter witnessed by “Miles and Richard de Beauchamp her sons”[635]. Hugh & his [first/second] wife had three children:

Oliver must have died before 5 Jun 1200, the date of a confirmation by King John of the grant made by his son "Hug de Bellocampo" of "terram…in Chelardeston" to "Willelmo fil Gaufr…in maritagio cum Olyva sorore predicti Hug" by charter dated 5 Jun 1200[637]. m AGNES, daughter of ---.

The primary source which confirms her marriage has not yet been identified. William & his wife had children:

a) MATILDA de Beauchamp [de Lucy] (-before 19 Jul 1243). "Ricardus de Ripar" made a fine to marry "Matilld de Lucy dña de Angr", dated 19 Jan 1214[720]. King John granted a licence for "Matillid de Angr uxori Ric de Ripar" relating to her inheritance dated 17 Jun 1216[721]. The Testa de Nevill includes a list of landholdings in Essex, dated 1219, which includes "Matillis de Lucy domina de Angre, maritata est Ricardo de Ripe per Regem Johannem..."[722]. An undated writ after the death of "Maud de Lucy" fails to decide whether her heir was "B. de Ripariis her younger son" or "the son of Richard de Ripariis who was the son of her elder son and who died before her decease", adding that "the son of the said Richard was 4 years old on the morrow of the Nativity of the Blessed Mary 27 [or 28?] Hen III"[723]. m firstly ([1194/95]) GEOFFREY de Lascelles, son of GEOFFREY de Cella Seneschal of Poitou & his wife --- (-before end Mar 1204). m secondly (after 19 Jan 1214) as his third wife, RICHARD de Rivers, son of --- (-[4 Dec 1221/15 Mar 1222]).

The sheriff of Bedfordshire was ordered to permit the execution of the testament of “Joan de Beauchamp, who was the wife of Geoffrey de Beauchamp”, dated 12 Jan 1241[726]. The wording of the order suggests, but does not state directly, that Geoffrey was deceased at the time. It is assumed that Geoffrey and his wife had no children as her sister was named as one of her heirs (see below). m JOAN de Albini, daughter of ROBERT de Albini & his wife --- (-before 12 Jan 1241). The sheriff of Bedfordshire was ordered to permit the execution of the testament of “Joan de Beauchamp, who was the wife of Geoffrey de Beauchamp”, dated 12 Jan 1241[727]. . Half of land “formerly of Joan de Beauchamp in Eastcotts” was granted to “Ralph de St Amand...and Ascelina his wife, one of Joan’s heirs”, dated [Jan] 1241[728].

D. BEAUCHAMP FAMILIES of SOMERSET

According to The Complete Peerage, the Beauchamp family of Somerset was unrelated to the Beauchamp family of Warwickshire[729].

1. ROBERT de Beauchamp of Hatch Beauchamp, Somerset (-after 1176). The 1157 Pipe Roll records "Rob. de Bellocapo" in Somerset[730]. The Red Book of the Exchequer refers to "Robertus de Bello Campo xxxiv m xvii milites" in Somerset in [1160/61][731]. Military fee certifications in the Red Book of the Exchequer, in 1166, record the knights’ fees held from "Robertus de Bello Campo" in Somerset[732]. The 1176/77 Pipe Roll names "Robertus de Bellocampo" in Dorset and Somerset[733]. m MURIEL, daughter of ---. Domesday Descendants cites the Life of Wulfric of Haselbury which names "Muriel" as the wife of Robert de Beauchamp of Hatch[734].

2. ROBERT de Beauchamp (-before 1210). The Red Book of the Exchequer records "Hubertus de Burgo" holding 17 knights’ fees "cum hærede R. de Bello Campo" in Dorset, Somerset in [1210/12][735]. The Testa de Nevill includes a writ of King John dated 1212 which records that "Hubertus de Burgo" held "Stok de domino rege cum herede Roberti de Bello Campo per servicium ii militum de feodo Moretonie…hundredum de Tinterell" in Somerset[736]. It is assumed that these entries refers to Hubert de Burgh, future Earl of Kent. As Hubert at that date still appears to have been married to Beatrice de Warenne, it is assumed that he was holding these knights’ fees by virtue of the right to arrange the marriage of the heiress, not that he was married to her himself. Another problem is identifying the "R. de Beauchamp" to whom the entry refers, especially as Robert de Beauchamp of Hatch Beauchamp, Somerset is recorded with male issue (see below). [m EMMA, daughter of --- (-after 1210). The Red Book of the Exchequer records "Emma de Bello Campo" one third part of one knight’s fee from "honor de Kincestone" in Dorset, Somerset in [1210/12][737]. The identity of Emma has not been ascertained. However, it is possible that she was the widow of "R. de Beauchamp" who is recorded in Dorset, Somerset (see above).] Robert & his wife had one child:

a) --- de Beauchamp . Domesday Descendants records that the daughter and heiress of Robert de Beauchamp of Hatch married "Simon de Vautort (d. 1199)" and that "her son assumed her name and succeeded as Robert [IV] de Beauchamp (d. 1251)" (no corresponding primary source cited)[738]. m SIMON de Vautort, son of --- (-1199).

SIMON de Vautort, son of HUGH de Vautort & his wife --- (-[before 1199/1200]). "Simon de Valtort…with his brother Nicholas" donated land "in Babbekari" to Montacute priory, for the welfare of "his wife and of his lord Robert de Bello Campo", by undated charter[739]. His date of death is indicated by the inquisition held [1199/1200] cited below under his son Robert.

m --- de Beauchamp, daughter of ROBERT de Beauchamp & his wife [Emma ---]. Domesday Descendants records that the daughter and heiress of Robert de Beauchamp of Hatch married "Simon de Vautort (d. 1199)" and that "her son assumed her name and succeeded as Robert [IV] de Beauchamp (d. 1251)" (no corresponding primary source cited)[740].

Simon & his wife had [two or more] children:

1. ROBERT de Beauchamp of Hatch Beauchamp, Somerset (-[1251/52]). Domesday Descendants records that the daughter and heiress of Robert de Beauchamp of Hatch married "Simon de Vautort (d. 1199)" and that "her son assumed her name and succeeded as Robert [IV] de Beauchamp (d. 1251)" (no primary source cited)[741]. An inquisition was held [1199/1200] to determine “jus heredes Sim de Vautort…in Septon…quam Joh de Vautort tenet”, finding that “Ric de Vautort qui terram illam tenuit habuit ii. fil. s. Hug et Johm. et Hug fuit primogenitus. Ille Hug habuit quidam filium Sim cuius filii debent esse heredes de terra de Septon”[742]. Bracton records a claim in Middlesex, dated 1230, by "Johannes de Valle Torta" against "Robertum de Bello Campo" concerning "terre…in Shepertona…unde Johannes de Walletorta pater suus fuit seisitus…tempore J. Regis", inherited by "Ricardo ut filio suo primogenito et heredi" who died "sine herede de corpore suo" and passed to “huic Johanni ut fratri et heredi suo”[743]. "Robert de Bello Campo son of Simon" granted commercial rights in Merston free from tolls to Bruton by undated charter[744]. A writ dated 16 Dec "31 Hen III" [28 Oct 1246/27 Oct 1247], after the death of "Nicia de Clinton" names "William de Parys knt her son is her heir" and "Aston township" in Buckinghamshire "Robert de Bello Campo holds in dower with Alice his wife 40 l land and Lady Eva de Clynton holds 20 l land in dower"[745]. An undated writ, after the death of "Robert de Bello Campo the elder", names "Robert his son aged --- is his heir" and lists manors in Somerset "Stokes…Merstan…Scepton…Hacche…Compton"[746]. m ([1245?]) as her second husband, ALICE de Mohun, widow of WILLIAM de Clinton, daughter of REYNOLD [II] de Mohun of Dunster, Somerset & his first wife Hawise de Mandeville (-after [28 Oct 1251/27 Oct 1252]). Maxwell-Lyte records her parentage, her first marriage “while a mere child, to William de Clinton, the younger, who settled on her land…40l. a year”, and her second marriage to “Robert de Beauchamp the younger of Hatch, in Somerset. To them her father…conveyed an estate known as ‘the Soke of Mohun’…between Fleet Bridge and Charing Cross” which they alienated to the abbot of Westminster [28 Oct 1251/27 Oct 1252][747]. Robert & his wife had two children:

a) ROBERT de Beauchamp . An undated writ, after the death of "Robert de Bello Campo the elder", names "Robert his son aged --- is his heir" and lists manors in Somerset "Stokes…Merstan…Scepton…Hacche…Compton"[748]. "Robert de Bello Campo son of Simon" granted commercial rights in Merston free from tolls to Bruton by undated charter, later confirmed by "Robert son of Robert de Beauchamp son of Simon"[749].

b) JOHN de Beauchamp of Hatch Beauchamp, Somerset (before 1249-Hatch 24 Oct 1283, bur Stoke under Hamden[750]). The primary source which confirms his parentage has not yet been identified. Inquisitions dated "Wednesday before Christmas Day 12 Edw I" following the death of "John de Bello Campo” name “John his son aged 10 on the feast of St James 11 Edw I is his next heir...Cecily late the wife of the said John...one of the sisters [mistake for daughters] and heirs of William de Fortibus”[751]. m (1273 or before) CECILE de Vivonne, daughter of GUILLAUME de Vivonne "de Fortibus" & his wife Matilda de Ferrers of the Earls of Derby ([1256/57]-Stoke under Hamden 10 Jan 1320[752]). Henry III King of England granted, 2 Aug 1259, "the wardship of the lands late of William de Fortibus" to "Ingram de Percy, Peter de Chauuvent and Imbert de Muntferaunt" and the marriages of the deceased’s four daughters, to Peter the marriage of "one of the remaining three as he shall choose" (10 March 1262 = Cecily)[753]. Her parentage is confirmed by the Somersetshire Pleas for 15 Jul 1269 which include a record that "Aunsell de Gurnay and his wife Sibyl" warranted "Emery de Roche Chaward, son of Emery de Roche Chaward, and Joan his wife, Sibyl, Mabel and Cecily, the daughters and heirs of William de Fortibus" relating to land in "Corfton"[754]. Her marriage is confimed by a petition to the king dated to [1281] by "Peter de St Hillare" relating to land at Corston, Somerset which names "Aunsel de Gunney, Sibyl wife of Aunsel de Gunney, Reginald father of Aunsel de Gunney, Joan wife of Reginald de Gunney, Guy de Rochicheward, Sibyl wife of Guy de Rochicheward, John de Beauchamp, Cecily wife of John de Beauchamp, Fulk de Archiake, Mabel wife of Fulk de Archiake, William de Forz"[755].

John & his wife had four children:

i) JOHN de Beauchamp (25 Jul 1274-1336 after 20 Oct). Inquisitions dated "Wednesday before Christmas Day 12 Edw I" following the death of "John de Bello Campo” name “John his son aged 10 on the feast of St James 11 Edw I is his next heir...Cecily late the wife of the said John...one of the sisters [mistake for daughters] and heirs of William de Fortibus”[757]. He was summoned to Parliament in 1299 whereby he is held to have become Lord Beauchamp. His parentage is confirmed by Inquisitions following a writ dated 27 Feb "1 Edw III" [1327], after the death of "John Meriet, de Meriet, Meryet, or de Meryet" [whose first wife Mary de Mohun was descended from Isabel, sister of Matilda de Ferrers, John’s maternal grandmother, see above], which record, relating to “Flitten”, Bedford “held of the inheritance of Mary his wife […deceased]…”, that “Maud de Kyme, one of the heirs of the said Mary, had issue Joan de Vivonia and Cecily de Bello Campo, kinswomen and heirs of the said Mary…and that the said Cecily had issue John de Bello Campo, the elder, of co.

2. [one or more] other child[ren] . His/their existence is confirmed by the 1199/1200 inquisition, cited above under his/their brother Robert de Beaychamp, into “jus heredes Sim de Vautort”.

BELMEIS

Loyd suggests that this family originated in Beaumais-sur-Dive in the present-day French département of Calvados, arrondissement Falaise, canton Morteaux, located in the Hiesmois, where Roger de Montgommery was vicomte, with whom the Belmeis family was connected in Shropshire. He discounts Beaumais in Seine-Maritime, arrondissement Dieppe, canton Offranville[761].

[Four] siblings:

1. RICHARD de Belmeis (-16 Jan 1128, bur St Osyth). Bishop of London 1108. King Henry I notified that "he has granted to R. de Belmeis the see of London" by charter dated 24 May 1108[762]. Eadmer records the election of "Ricardum…Pentecostes" as bishop of London and his consecration "apud Pagaham…VII Kal Aug"[763]. An inscription at St Osyth records the burial of "Richardus Beauveis cognomine Rufus, London. Episcopus…obiit xvi januarii MCXXVII" (O.S.?)[764].

2. WALTER de Belmeis (-after [Sep 1112/Jun 1113]). King Henry I confirmed the possessions of St George of Boscherville, including the donation of land by "Walterus de Belmes", by charter dated to [Sep 1112/Jun 1113][765]. m [as her second husband,] ---. The name of Walter’s wife is not known. As noted below, Ralph de Diceto’s Abbreviationes Chronicorum record that “Magister Radulfus de Langeford et Ricardus de Belmeis fratres et concanonici, clericique domestici” were summoned as potential successors to “Willielmi decani Lundoniæ” in 1138[766]. Their different names suggest that Ralph and Richard may have been uterine brothers, not necessarily born from the same father. The order of their names suggests that Ralph was older than Richard, maybe born from an earlier marriage of their mother. Walter & his wife had [three] children:

a) PHILIP de Belmeis of Tong, Shropshire (-after May 1145). "Philippus de Belmeis…et Matilda uxor mea" donated "terram quæ fuit Selferi de Rochelai" to Buildwas abbey by charter dated to [1138/39], signed by "Philippi de Belmeis, Matildæ uxoris eius, Philippi filii eius, R. filii eius", and witnessed by "Robertus de Belmes…"[767]. “Philippus de Belmeis” founding Lilleshall Abbey, Shropshire by undated charter, witnessed by “Philippus filius Philippi de Belmis…domina Matilda filia Willielmi Meschin uxor prædicti Philippi de Belmis…”[768]. m as her first husband, MATILDA de Rumilly, daughter of WILLIAM FitzRanulf Meschin, of Skipton-in-Craven & his wife Cecily de Rumilly (-after 1189[769]). "Philippus de Belmeis…et Matilda uxor mea" donated "terram quæ fuit Selferi de Rochelai" to Buildwas abbey by charter dated to [1138/39], signed by "Philippi de Belmeis, Matildæ uxoris eius, Philippi filii eius, R. filii eius", and witnessed by "Robertus de Belmes…"[770]. “Philippus de Belmeis” founding Lilleshall Abbey, Shropshire by undated charter, witnessed by “Philippus filius Philippi de Belmis…domina Matilda filia Willielmi Meschin uxor prædicti Philippi de Belmis…”[771]. She married secondly ([1150]) Hugh [II] de Mortimer. The Complete Peerage explains the the documents which confirm her parentage and second marriage[772]: including (1) pleadings in a suit concerning land at Kimbolton, Hampshire, and in a suit dated Jan 1282 in the Chester County Court, which both name Roger de Mortimer as son and heir of "Maud la Meschine"[773]; (2) Roger Mortimer’s grant of rents in Bisley given to him by "his brothers Philip and Ranulph de Belmeis"[774]; (3) the undated charter under which “Philippus de Belmeis” founding Lilleshall Abbey, Shropshire (quoted above)[775]. A manuscript narrating the foundation of Wigmore Abbey records that she was “Matildem Longespey, filiam Willielmi Longespey, ducis Normanniæ”[776] but this is confused and cannot possibly be correct. Philip & his wife had three children:

i) PHILIP de Belmeis (-[1154/59]). "Philippus de Belmeis…et Matilda uxor mea" donated "terram quæ fuit Selferi de Rochelai" to Buildwas abbey by charter dated to [1138/39], signed by "Philippi de Belmeis, Matildæ uxoris eius, Philippi filii eius, R. filii eius", and witnessed by "Robertus de Belmes…"[777].

Roger Mortimer granted rents in Bisley given to him by "his brothers Philip and Ranulph de Belmeis" by undated charter[782]. Military fee certifications in the Red Book of the Exchequer, in 1166, record that "Ranulfus de Beumeis" held three knights’ fees from "Roberti di Staffordia" in Staffordshire, of which two were held by "Johannes Bigod"[783]. The 1166/67 Pipe Roll records the sheriff accounting for "Twanga terra Rand de Bealmes", indicating his recent death[784]. "William de Belmeys son of Alan la Zouch" confirmed donations to Lilleshall abbey by undated charter which names "Adelhiza de Belmeys his mother, Philip de Belmeys senior, Philip junior and Ranulph brother of Philip junior"[785].

b) RICHARD de Belmeis (-4 May 1162). King Henry I confirmed a grant of land to "Richard de Belmeis, nephew of Richard Bp of London" by charter dated [26 Aug] 1127[789]. Ralph de Diceto’s Abbreviationes Chronicorum record that “Magister Radulfus de Langeford et Ricardus de Belmeis fratres et concanonici, clericique domestici” were summoned as potential successors to “Willielmi decani Lundoniæ” in 1138 and describes the controversy regarding the election of the successor, adding that “Ricardus Lundoniensis episcopus” had appointed “Ricardo filio fratris sui Walteri de Belmeis” as archdeacon even though he had hardly been an adolescent[790]. Bishop of London 1152. Ralph de Diceto’s Abbreviationes Chronicorum record in 1152 that “Ricardus de Belmeis” was consecrated at Canterbury “a Theobaldo archiepiscopo”[791]. "Philip son of Philip de Beumes" confirmed land to Lilleshall by charter dated to [1152/59], witnessed by "Radulf de Belmeys my brother…Richard de Belmeys…Robert de Belmeys, William his brother…"[792]. The 1156 Pipe Roll records "Ric de Bealmes" owing in relation to a dispute with "Alanum de Vppedun" in Shropshire[793]. The 1157 Pipe Roll records "Ric de Bealmes" owing in Shropshire[794]. Ralph de Diceto’s Ymagines Historiarum record the death “IV Non Mai” in 1162 of “Ricardus secundus Lundoniensis episcopus”[795].

c) [RALPH de Langford (-[1160]). Dean of St Paul’s 1138. Ralph de Diceto’s Abbreviationes Chronicorum record that “Magister Radulfus de Langeford et Ricardus de Belmeis fratres et concanonici, clericique domestici” were summoned as potential successors to “Willielmi decani Lundoniæ” in 1138 and describes the controversy regarding the election of the successor[796]. Their different names suggest that Ralph and Richard may have been uterine brothers, not necessarily born from the same father.

BISSET

The Bisset family of East Bridgeford, Nottinghamshire is recorded in charters of Thurgarton priory and founded the house of lepers in Maiden Bradley, Wiltshire. Loyd points out that the family acquired by marriage Cany in the present-day French département of Seine-Maritime, arrondissement Yvetot, canton Cany, which suggests that the Bisset family itself may have originated from the same area[865]. The editor of the Beauly cartulary suggests that Henry Bisset, recorded in Scotland in the late 12th century (see the document UNTITLED SCOTTISH NOBILITY), was a member of the same Bisset family[866]. The precise relationship has not been traced. The mid-14th century Scalacronica records that William King of Scotland, after his release from captivity in England in 1174, returned to Scotland with "plusours dez filz pusnes dez seygnours Dengleterre" and granted them lands, naming in its list "…lez Biseys…"[867].

As Iseult’s earlier marriages can be dated to the late 12th century, her age suggests that she must have been Henry’s second wife.

Matthew Paris names "…Johannes Bisset, summus justiciarius forestæ…" among those who died in 1241[912]. [m firstly ---. No direct information has been found concerning John’s supposed first marriage. However, if it is correct, as suggested by the sources which name him, his brother Henry, and Henry’s wife Iseult, that he was the son of Manasser Biset, John must have been born in the 1170s at the latest. If that is correct, the date of his known marriage to Alice Basset in [1223] is late for a first marriage.] m [secondly] (1223 or before) as her third husband, ALICE Basset, widow firstly of WILLIAM Malet of Curry Malet, repudiated wife (secondly) of H--- de Chaceporc, daughter of THOMAS Basset [II] of Headington & his wife Philippa Malbank (-[1263]).

1. HUGH de Bolebec . An undated charter relating to Alnwick Abbey, Northumberland records that Cecilia de Vescy married “Hugoni de Bolbek seniori, qui genuit Walterum [error for Hugoni] de Bolbek, qui Hugonem juniorem, qui Feliciam matrem domini Johannis de Lancastria”[1026]. The primary source which names the parents of Hugh has not yet been identified. However, as noted above, the fact that his granddaughter Philippa married Roger de Lancaster suggests that Hugh may have been the same person as "Walter" who is named in the Alnwick Abbey charter which is quoted above as the son of Hugh de Bolebec.] m as her first husband, MARGERY de Montfichet, daughter of RICHARD de Montfichet & his wife Millicent ---. An undated writ "52 Hen III", after the death of "Richard de Muntfichet", records that "he had 3 sisters, Margery, Avelina and Philippa, from Margery issued Hugh de Bolebek"[1027].

BOTEREL

1. WILLIAM Boterel [I] (-[1165/75]). Military fee certifications in the Red Book of the Exchequer, in 1166, record that "Willelmus de Boterellis" held one knight’s fee from the bishop of Exeter in Devon and twelve knights’ fees from "comitis Reginaldi" in Cornwall[1052]. m (1140 or after) ALICE Corbet, daughter of ROBERT [I] Corbet & his [second] wife --- ([1115/20]-). Eyton states that "Alice, daughter and eventual co-heir of Robert fitz Corbet married William Botterell of Cornwall", adding that the marriage must be dated to after 1140 as on her marriage her nephew Renaud Earl of Cornwall gave her property at "Cracunton and Bidun", both in Cornwall, which he assesses would only have been his after his installation as earl in that year[1053]. Renaud Earl of Cornwall issued a charter for William de Boterel which names his mother "matertere mee Aliz Corbet"[1054]. However, if this is correct, it is extremely unlikely that Alice could have been born from the same marriage of her father as her sister Sibyl. William [I] & his wife had [three] children:

a) WILLIAM [II] de Botreaux (-[1211]). "Reginaldus, Henrici Regis filius, comes Cornubiæ" granted property to "Willielmo de Boterell, filio Aliziæ Corbet, materteræ meæ" which he had granted to "Willielmo de Boterells in Cornubia, patri…predicti Willielmi" on his marriage, by charter dated to [1163/75], witnessed by "Nicholao filio meo…Herberto filio Herberti, Baldwino et Ricardo nepotibus meis, Willelmo de Vernun, Willielmo fratre meo…"[1055]. The 1176/77 Pipe Roll names "Willelmus de Boterell" in Devonshire[1056]. The Red Book of the Exchequer refers to "Willelmus de Boterellis vii l x s pro xii militibus de minutis feodis" in Cornwall in [1186/87][1057]. “Willielmus de Boterell” confirmed the donation, for the soul of “Willielmi filii mei”, by “domina Isabella de Say uxor mea” of the church of St George, Clun to Wenlock Priory, by undated charter witnessed by “Brientio de Say…Hugone Peverell…”[1058]. "Will’s de Boterell" paid a fine for "in Cornub…Penhell…et dimid villa de Alencestr", dated 1199[1059]. The Red Book of the Exchequer records "Willelmus de Boterellis" holding one half of one knight’s fee in Shropshire, and 12 knights’ fees in Cornwall, in [1210/12][1060]. The Red Book of the Exchequer records "Petrus filius Herberti et Willelmus de Boterellis" holding "tres partes" in Warwickshire in [1210/12][1061]. "William de Botreaux" paid a fine for "having seisin of the lands formerly of William de Botreaux his father" in Cornwall, dated [Dec] 1220[1062]. m firstly ([1171]) as her third husband, ISABEL de Say, widow firstly of WILLIAM FitzAlan, and secondly of GEOFFREY de Vere, daughter of ELIAS de Say Lord of Clun, Shropshire & his wife --- ([1135/40?]-[1199][1063]). Follow her hyperlink for documents which confirm her three marriages. [m secondly ---. Eyton says that “It is a mystery to me who was the mother of William Boterell (III)”, noting that “I have considered it probable that William Boterell (II) had a son, William, by Isabel de Say, but it is almost impossible to identify such a son with him who came of age in 1220. At that rate Isabel de Say would have been a mother at two periods, with the improbable interval of 40 years or more”, while he would have been too old to have been the son of Albreda Waleran, concluding cautiously that “it is vain, without an atom of direct evidence, to suggest that William Boterell (II) may have married three wives”[1064], although that seems to be the inevitable conclusion.] m [thirdly] ([1203/04]) as her second husband, ALBREDA Waleran, widow of JOHN de Ingham, daughter of --- (-before 1 Aug 1270). The Testa de Nevill includes a list of landholdings in Somerset, dated 1219, which includes "Albreda de Boterall...de donacione domini regis et terra sua de Ceddene valet c.s"[1065]. Eyton records her family name and two marriages[1066]. Eyton records that “Albrea de Boterells” had quittance of the scutage of Poitou in 1214 “in respect of one Fee held in capite in Shropshire” (no source cited)[1067]. He cites other sources dated Aug 1216, 1218, 1221, 1229, 1230, 1231, 1240 which name her[1068]. An order dated 1 Aug 1270 records the homage of “Olyveri de Ingeham heredis Albrede de Boterell’ defuncte” for all the lands which ”predicta Albreda tenuit de R in capite die quo obiit”[1069]. Eyton suggests that “He was, I think, her Grandson, son of her son Walter, who was deceased in 1253”[1070]. William [II] & his [first/second] wife had one child:

i) WILLIAM [III] de Botreaux ([1199/1201?]-before 7 Jun 1243). The difficulty of identifying his mother is discussed above. The Testa de Nevill records in Devon “Rogerus de Mortuo Mari” holding “manerium de Mouland […servicium unius militis]…occasione heredis Willelmi de Boterell qui est infra etatem”, noting that King William I had granted this manor to “antecessoribus Willelmi de Beaumeis” from who “Willelmus de Boterell” had bought it, and in Shropshire "Willelmus Boterealus, baro” holding “in capite de domino rege per servicium dimidii militis", both dated 1212[1071]. An order dated 16 Jan 1215 relates to “terra Willi de Boterell in Com Cornub” in the hands of “Hugoi Pevell de Sanford plenar saisina de terra illa”[1072]. An order dated 13 Dec 1220 to the sheriff of Cornwall notified that “Wills de Buterell” had made a fine for ”saisina terre q fuit Willi de Boterell patris sui”[1073]. Eyton records sources dated Feb 1221, 1224, 20 Apr 1230, 1231, 1235/36, [and 1245 and 1246] which name William [III][1074]. He died before 7 Jun 1243, presumably childless, when his brother Reginald was enfeoffed with his lands (see below). Eyton records sources dated 1245, 1246, and 1260 which name “William de Boterell”[1075], presumably another person.

William [II] & his [first/second/third] wife had one child:

ii) [EMMA de Botreaux ([1175/80] or [1200/07?]-). William Pole (early 1600s?) records that “Joell de Valletort, younger sonne of Roger, & brother of Reginald de Valletort, held North Tawton, & had issue by Emma, daughter of Sr William Botreaux…”[1076]. The reference to Joel’s father suggests that Pole was referring to Joel [I], which from a chronological point of view appears impossible. Assuming that there is some truth in Pole’s report (its accuracy has not been confirmed by information from another source), it is likely that Emma was the wife of Joel [II] de Vautort, and therefore the daughter of William [II] de Botreaux. m JOEL [II] de Vautort, son of [REGINALD [IV] de Vautort & his wife ---] ([1182/89?]-after 1231).]

William [II] & his [third] wife had one child:

iii) REGINALD de Botreaux ([1205/11?]-before 4 Feb 1274). An order dated 7 Jun 1243 enfeoffed “Regin’ de Boterell’ fratri et heredi Willi de Boterell” with ”omnes terras quas predictus Willelmus tenuit de R in capite…in com Warr…”[1077]. Eyton cites sources dated 1254, 1255, 1256, Jul 1271, and 1272 which name Reginald[1078]. Inquisitions after a writ dated 4 Feb 1274 [“2 Edw I”] following the death of "Reginaldus de Botereus alias le Botereues, de Botriaus" name “William his son is his next heir, and of full age […aged 31 and more]”, and record his properties in Warwick (“Alincestre…A moiety sometime held of the king in chief…”), Shropshire (“Longedon…sometime held of the king in chief as a moiety of 1 knight’s fee…”), and Devon (“Molland…held of Sir Roger de Mortuomari for 1 knight’s fee”)[1079]. m ---. The name of Reginald’s wife is not known. Reginald & his wife had one child:

(a) WILLIAM [IV] de Botreaux ([1242/43]-before 24 May 1302). He is named “…aged 31 and more” in the inquisitions following his father’s death, cited above. An order dated 7 Jun 1243 enfeoffed “Regin’ de Boterell’ fratri et heredi Willi de Boterell” with ”omnes terras quas predictus Willelmus tenuit de R in capite…in com Warr…”[1080]. Eyton records the “Inquest of Ford Hundred”, dated Nov 1274, which names ”Sir William de Botereus (IV) as Tenant-in-capite of Longedon…by service of two Servientes” and a fragment of a deed which records that William “within the next ten years…before the year 1283” alienated Longdon to Robert Burnell Bishop of Bath and Wells in exchange for land in Somerset[1081]. Inquisitions after a writ dated 24 May 1302 [“30 Edw I”] following the death of "William de Botreaus alias de Botereaus, the Elder" name “William his son, aged 27 and more, is his next heir”, and record his properties in Devon (“Mollonde…held of Edmund de Mortemer by service of a knight’s fee”) and Cornwall (“Warthavals…Penheyl…Crackampton…Botylet”)[1082]. m ALICE, daughter of --- (-[before 24 May 1302?]). Eyton records her name (no source cited)[1083]. She is not named in the inquisitions following her husband’s death cited above, suggesting that she was deceased at the time.

- BOTREAUX Family of Cornwall and Alcestre[1084].

b) REGINALD de Botreaux .

c) [ROBERT de Botreaux (-after 1196). The Red Book of the Exchequer, listing scutage payments in [1196/97], records "Robertus de Boterellis" paying "lx s, iii milites" in Shropshire[1085].]

BRITO (ALBINI BRITO)

The origins of this family were discussed by Round[1086]. He suggests that they originated from Saint-Aubin d’Aubigné, in the present-day French département of Ille-et-Vilaine.

1. MAIN . [Seigneur de Saint-Aubin-d'Aubigné]. "Main pater Willelmi de Albinico, Adelisa, Hunfredus de Buun avunculus eius…Willelmu[us] de Albinioc…" are listed in the Liber Vitæ of Thorney abbey[1087]. Main and his wife are named as parents of William [I] de Albini Brito in Domesday Descendants, which does not cite the corresponding primary source reference[1088]. m ADELISA [de Bohun], daughter of ---. "Main pater Willelmi de Albinico, Adelisa, Hunfredus de Buun avunculus eius…Willelmu[us] de Albinioc…" are listed in the Liber Vitæ of Thorney abbey[1089]. The chronology of the Albini Brito family (descended from Adelisa and her husband) is difficult to determine precisely, but it appears possible that "Hunfredus de Buun", who is named in the Thorney list as "avunculus" of William [I] de Albini Brito, was Humphrey [II] de Bohun, in which case William’s mother may have been Humphrey’s sister who is named Adela in the 1130 Pipe Roll. Main & his wife had one child:

a) WILLIAM [I] de Albini Brito (-after 1148). "Main pater Willelmi de Albinico, Adelisa, Hunfredus de Buun avunculus eius…Willelmu[us] de Albinioc…" are listed in the Liber Vitæ of Thorney abbey[1090]. Matthew Paris records the prowess of "Willelmus de Albeneio Brito" at the battle of Tinchebrai in 1106[1091]. "…Willo de Albin Brit…" subscribed the charter dated to [10 Apr/29 May] 1121 which records the arrangements for the marriage of "Miloni de Gloec" and "Sibilia filia Beorndi de Novo Mercato"[1092]. The Historia sancti Petri Gloucestriæ records that "Robertus filius Walteri et Avelina uxor eius" donated "ecclesiam de Nortone", as previously donated by "Elmelina mater Avelinæ ante plures annos", in 1126, and the subsequent paragraph records that "Willelmus Brito" donated "ecclesiam de Nortone" with the consent of "rege Henrico seniore…tempore [Willelmi] abbatis" [abbot from 1113 to 1131][1093]. "W. de Alb Britone" witnessed the charter dated to [1125/29] under which Henry I King of England confirmed a donation to Thorney abbey[1094]. He owned part of the fee of Belvoir before his mother-in-law held it, The Complete Peerage concluding therefore that the marriage may have been arranged to settle rival claims[1095]. The 1130 Pipe Roll records "Willo de Albin brit" in Essex, Hertfordshire, Northamptonshire, Leicestershire, Lincolnshire, in the honour of Berkeley in Rutlandshire, and in Northamptonshire[1096]. "Willielmus de Albeneio Brito…et Ceciliam uxorem meam et Willielmum filium meum" donated land to Thorney monastery, Cambridgeshire by undated charter, witnessed by "Rogero et Roberto filiis meis et Warino Ridel et Olivero et Iwan et Gaufrido nepotibus meis et Roberto Brito…”[1097].

Her parentage is indicated by the charter dated 23 Apr [1430] under which her descendant “Thomas dominus de Ros, de Hamelake, de Trussebout et de Beavoir” confirmed the possessions of Belvoir priory, Lincolnshire made by "antecessores nostros…Robertum de Toteneio, Willielmum de Toteneyo filium suum, Agnetem de Toteneio filiam dicti Roberti de Toteneyo, Henricum de Rya filium Huberto de Rya, Agnetem de Toteneyo, Willielmum de Albeneio primum, Willielmum de Albeneio secundum, Willielmum de Albeneio tertium, Willielmum de Albeneio quartum, Ywynum de Albeneyo, Heliam de Albeneyo et uxores eorundem, Isabellam filiam domini Willielmi de Albeneio quæ fuit uxor domini de Ros, domini de Beauvoire et de Hamelake"[1099], the connection with Robert de Tosny Lord of Belvoir, her maternal grandfather, being established through her marriage. She inherited Belvoir from her mother. "…Willelmu[us] de Albinioc, Cecilia uxor eius, filii eius Willelmus, Rogerius, Matildis filia eius" are listed in the Liber Vitæ of Thorney abbey[1100].

William [I] & his wife had six children:

i) WILLIAM [II] de Albini Brito (-1168). "…Willelmu[us] de Albinioc, Cecilia uxor eius, filii eius Willelmus, Rogerius, Matildis filia eius" are listed in the Liber Vitæ of Thorney abbey, another entry in the same folio reading "Willm de Albenico, Cecilia uxor ei[us], Willm, Rodbt, Roger filii ei[us], Matildis, Basilia filie ei[us]…"[1105].

Military fee certifications in the Red Book of the Exchequer, in 1166, record the knights’ fees held by "Willelmi de Albenny Britonis quam pater suus tenuit" in Leicestershire[1109]. m MATILDA de Senlis, daughter of ROBERT FitzRichard & his wife Matilda de Senlis (-after 1185). "Willielmus de Albineio" donated "ecclesiam de Redmelina" to Belvoir monastery, Lincolnshire, with the consent of "Willielmi filii et hæredis mei et Matildis uxoris meæ et Ceciliæ matris meæ, necnon et Radulphi de Albinei fratris mei", by undated charter[1110]. The Rotuli de Dominabus of 1185 records “Matillis de Sainlis que fuit filia Roberti filii Ricardi et mater Willelmi de Albineio” and “terra sua in Hungertone et in Winewelle”[1111]. William [II] & his wife had [two] children:

(a) WILLIAM [III] de Albini Brito (-before 15 May 1236). The Rotuli de Dominabus of 1185 records “Matillis de Sainlis que fuit filia Roberti filii Ricardi et mater Willelmi de Albineio” and “terra sua in Hungertone et in Winewelle”[1112].

- see below.

(b) [MATILDA de Albini ([1160/65]-after 1210). A charter dated 1200 records the foundation of Inchaffray Abbey by "Gilbertus filius Ferthead…comes de Stradern et…Matilidis filia Willelmi de Aubengni comitissa", for the soul of "Gillecrist primogeniti nostri ibidem quiescentis"[1113]. No more precise information has been found about the parentage of Matilda, first wife of Gilbert Earl of Strathearn. From a chronological point of view, it is possible that "Willelmi de Aubengni" was William de Albini Brito, who died in 1168. If this is correct, Matilda must have been born not long before her father’s death as she gave birth to her last child after Oct 1198. It appears that William, son of William who died in 1168, would have been too young to have been Matilda’s father. "…M. comitissa de Stratherr, Malisio fratre comitis, Ferthet filio comitis, Matilda filia comitis…Dunecano filio Malihs…" subscribed the charter dated to [1200] under which "Gilbertus comes de Stratheren" donated property to Inchaffray Abbey[1114].

ii) ROGER de Albini Brito . "…Willelmu[us] de Albinioc, Cecilia uxor eius, filii eius Willelmus, Rogerius, Matildis filia eius" are listed in the Liber Vitæ of Thorney abbey, another entry in the same folio reading "Willm de Albenico, Cecilia uxor ei[us], Willm, Rodbt, Roger filii ei[us], Matildis, Basilia filie ei[us]…"[1117].

iv) ROBERT de Albini Brito (-after 1166). "…Willelmu[us] de Albinioc, Cecilia uxor eius, filii eius Willelmus, Rogerius, Matildis filia eius" are listed in the Liber Vitæ of Thorney abbey, another entry in the same folio reading "Willm de Albenico, Cecilia uxor ei[us], Willm, Rodbt, Roger filii ei[us], Matildis, Basilia filie ei[us]…"[1120].

Military fee certifications in the Red Book of the Exchequer, in 1166, record that "Robertus de Albenny frater suus" held 15 knights’ fees from "Willelmi de Albenny Britonis quam pater suus tenuit" in Leicestershire[1122]. same person as…? ROBERT de Tosny . “Robertus de Toteneia” donated property to Belvoir priory, Lincolnshire, confirmed by "Willielmus de Albeneio frater meus et dominus", by undated charter, witnessed by "…Rogerus Bigot"[1123]. The identity of the donor is uncertain, but he may have been the same person as Robert de Albini Brito, son of William [I] de Albini Brito, assuming that he adopted the name Tosny from his maternal grandmother’s family.

v) BASILIA de Albini Brito . "…Willelmu[us] de Albinioc, Cecilia uxor eius, filii eius Willelmus, Rogerius, Matildis filia eius" are listed in the Liber Vitæ of Thorney abbey, another entry in the same folio reading "Willm de Albenico, Cecilia uxor ei[us], Willm, Rodbt, Roger filii ei[us], Matildis, Basilia filie ei[us]…"[1124].

Her third marriage is confirmed by the 1181/82 Pipe Roll which records "Radulfus de Alben" accounting for ".cc. m pro ducenda matre Ebrardi de Ros" in Yorkshire[1126]. Ralph & his wife had three children:

(a) MATILDA de Albini Brito . Domesday Descendants names Matilda wife of William de Colleville as the oldest of the three daughters of Ralph de Albini Brito and his wife[1127]. m WILLIAM de Colleville, son of ---.

(b) ALICE de Albini Brito . Domesday Descendants names Alice wife of Stephen de Markham as the second of the three daughters of Ralph de Albini Brito and his wife[1128]. m STEPHEN de Markham, son of ---.

(c) GUNNORA de Albini Brito . Domesday Descendants names Gunnora, wife firstly of Robert de Gand and secondly of Nicholas de Stuteville, as the youngest of the three daughters of Ralph de Albini Brito and his wife[1129]. From a chronological point of view, this appears tight, but is consistent with other information related in the present section. A charter of King Richard I dated 7 Sep 1189 confirmed donations to Vaudey abbey among which by “Roberti de Gant et Gundredæ uxoris eius”[1130]. The Gand/Stuteville connection appears confirmed by the following document: "Gillebertus de Gant" [Gunnora’s son by her first marriage] confirmed the donation of land at Barton on Humber to Rufford monastery, Nottinghamshire, for the souls of "patris mei Roberti de Gant et matris mee Gunwar de Gant", by charter dated to the late 12th century [?], witnessed by "Nicolao de Stuteville…"[1131].

WILLIAM [III] de Albini Brito, son of WILLIAM [II] de Albini Brito & his wife Matilda de Senlis (-before 15 May 1236). The Rotuli de Dominabus of 1185 records “Matillis de Sainlis que fuit filia Roberti filii Ricardi et mater Willelmi de Albineio” and “terra sua in Hungertone et in Winewelle”[1132]. "Willielmus de Albineio" donated "ecclesiam de Redmelina" to Belvoir monastery, Lincolnshire, with the consent of "Willielmi filii et hæredis mei et Matildis uxoris meæ et Ceciliæ matris meæ, necnon et Radulphi de Albinei fratris mei", by undated charter[1133].

The primary source which confirms her parentage has not yet been identified. The name of her father suggests a family relationship with the Umfraville, later Earls of Angus.

m secondly (after [1196/98]) as her second husband, AGATHA Trussebut, widow of HAIMO de Wolverton, daughter of WILLIAM [II] Trussebut & his wife Albereda d’Harcourt (-1247). A manuscript history of the foundation of Barwell Priory names “quatuor sorores…Pagani filias…primogenita Mathildis de Doure…Alicia…Roisia…Ascelina” as the heiresses of “Gul. Peverell filius Pagani”, adding that Rohese was mother of “Albreda de Harecourt”, mother of “Galfridus Trussebut…et tres sorores…Roysia, Hillaria et Agatha”[1136]. The Liber Memorandorum Ecclesie de Bernewelle records that "Albreda de Harecurt" was mother of three sisters "Roysia, Hyllaria et Agatha"[1137]. "Willielmus de Albiniaco tertius" donated "ecclesiam de Redmelina" to Belvoir monastery, Lincolnshire, for the souls of "Agayjæ uxoris meæ et…Margeriæ quondam uxoris meæ", by undated charter witnessed by "Willielmo de Albineio quarto, Odinello, Roberto et Nicholao filiis meis"[1138]. “William of Belvoir” made a fine for relief of lands formerly of “William d’Aubigny his father”, saving to “Agatha, who was the wife of the same William, her rightful dower”, dated 15 May 1236[1139].

The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines names "militum…Richardus Brito, Hugo de Morevilla, Renaldus Ursus et Guillelmus de Traci" as the murderers of Thomas Archbishop of Canterbury[1165].

m ---. The name of his wife is not known.

[Five] children:

1. WILLIAM de Briwere (-24 Nov 1226). King John confirmed the grant of "foresta nostra de la Bera", granted by King Henry I to "Willelmus Briwerr avus eius", to "Willelmo Briwere" by charter dated 21 Mar 1200[1178]. The Red Book of the Exchequer records "Willelmus Bruere" holding (unspecified) knights’ fees "Burbeche" in Wiltshire, and land "Stokes et Siteleshangre quæ fuerunt Gerardi de Mauqu[eney]" in Northamptonshire, in [1210/12][1179]. Matthew Paris names “...Willelmus Briwere...” among the "consiliarios iniquissimos” of King John[1180]. A charter which records the foundation of Motisfont Priory, Hampshire states that “dominus Willielmus Briwer, fundator ecclesiæ de Mottesfount” died "VIII Kal Dec", lists his donations including the donation of land "in Muchelmares" and revenue from land "in villa de Burbache" for the soul of "Beatricis uxoris suæ qui obiit IX Kal Apr"[1181]. m BEATRICE, daughter of --- (-24 Mar ----). A charter which records the foundation of Motisfont Priory, Hampshire states that “dominus Willielmus Briwer, fundator ecclesiæ de Mottesfount” donated land "in Muchelmares" and revenue from land "in villa de Burbache" for the soul of "Beatricis uxoris suæ qui obiit IX Kal Apr"[1182]. The Complete Peerage states that Dugdale calls the wife of William de Briwere "Beatrice de Valle, says she was the mistress of Rainald Earl of Cornwall", but does not cite a primary source on which this information is based[1183]. The chronology does not appear to favour the subsequent marriage of the mistress of Earl Renaud to William de Briwere. The marriages of the latter’s children are recorded in the first decade of the 13th century, their births being therefore estimated to [1185/1200]. Even if Earl Renaud’s mistress gave birth to the earl’s illegitimate son in the last decade of his life (when he would have been in his sixties), it is unlikely that she could have continued bearing children into the later 1190s. William & his wife had seven children:

a) RICHARD de Briwere (-after 10 Dec 1213). "Willelmus de Briwerr" paid a fine for "heritenda filia Hug de Morevill cum tota hereditate sua qu id Hugo tenuit die q fuit vivus et mortuus" and for the marriage of "ipsie file ad op Ric filii sui […Ric Briwerr fil ipsius Willmi] vel si parentes ipsi puelle ad h assensint ad op Ric Gernon nepotis sui si eid Willo placuit", dated 1201[1184].

3. [PETER de Rivallis (-23 Nov ----).

Robert & his wife had one child:

(a) MATILDA de Cauz (-before 14 May 1224). Her parentage and marriage are confirmed by the Rotuli de Dominabus of 1185 which records “terra eius in Riscinton” held by “uxor que fuit Roberti de Caux et mater uxoris Radulfi filii Stephani, Cambellani domini regis, filia Ricardi Basset et soror Willelmi Basset…L annorum et amplius”, adding that the land was “de baronia Radulfi filii Stephani”[1267]. An order dated 14 May 1224 confiscated "all land formerly of Matilda de Caux, who was the wife of Ralph son of Stephen, who is dead"[1268].

The Templars and “Radulfum filium Stephani” settled a dispute concerning “unam carucatam terre in Roueston” which “Galfridus de Cauz” had given to “Albrede de Lisuriis uxori sue in dotem” and “terram que fuit Roberti fratris Gaufridi de Cauz in Ruueston”, dated 12 Nov 1177[1270]. m (after 1168) as her third husband, AUBREYE de Lisours, widow firstly of RICHARD FitzEustache, and secondly of WILLIAM de Clairfait, daughter of ROBERT de Lisours & his wife Aubreye [de Lacy] (-after Sep 1200). A manuscript history of the Lacy family records that “Albreda vel Aubreia, filia Roberti Lisours, soror ex parte matris” succeeded on the death of “Robertus Lacy” and that she married “Richardus constabularius Cestriæ”[1271]. Her second marriage is confirmed by a note, added at the end of a charter under which “Fulk de Lisoriis and Aubrey his wife” donated lands at Billingley and elsewhere to Blyth priory, Nottinghamshire, which records that “Albreda filia supradicti Roberti de Lisoriis” confirmed the donation with the consent of “Willelmo de Clarofagio, viro suo”[1272]. Her third marriage is confirmed by the charter dated 12 Nov 1177 under which the Templars and “Radulfum filium Stephani” settled a dispute concerning “unam carucatam terre in Roueston” which “Galfridus de Cauz” had given to “Albrede de Lisuriis uxori sue in dotem” and “terram que fuit Roberti fratris Gaufridi de Cauz in Ruueston”[1273]. She married fourthly ([1178]) William FitzGodric. "Willelmus filius Godrici" paid a fine for his marriage with "matre Johannis constabularii" in 1178[1274].

CHANDOS

Loyd says that this family originated in Candos in the present-day French département of Eure, arrondissement Pont-Audemer, canton Montfort-sur-Risle, commune Illeville-sur-Montfort[1279].

1. ROBERT [I] de Chandos (-1120, bur Goldcliff). The Chronica de Fundatoribus et de Fundatione Ecclesiæ Theokusberie records that in 1113 "dominus Robertus de Candos" founded "ecclesiam de Goldcliva"[1280]. A charter of King Edward I records that "Robertus de Candos" founded Goldcliff priory, Monmouthshire, with the consent of "Isabellæ uxoris meæ" witnessed by "Wineboldo de Baalun, Rogero filio suo"[1281]. The Chronica de Fundatoribus et de Fundatione Ecclesiæ Theokusberie records that "dominus Robertus de Candos" died in 1120 and was buried "in...ecclesia de Goldcliva"[1282]. m ISABEL, daughter of --- (-after 1113). A charter of King Edward I records that "Robertus de Candos" founded Goldcliff priory, Monmouthshire, with the consent of "Isabellæ uxoris meæ" witnessed by "Wineboldo de Baalun, Rogero filio suo", dated to 1113[1283]. Robert [I] & his wife had three children:

a) ROBERT [II] de Chandos (-after Jan 1153, bur Beaumont en Vexin). The Chronica de Fundatoribus et de Fundatione Ecclesiæ Theokusberie records that "dominus Robertus de Candos" and "uxore sua...Isabella" had “tres filios...Robertus, Rogerus et Godardus”[1284]. Orderic Vitalis records that “Rodbertus de Candos” was castellan of Gisors, dated to 1123 from the context, and names “religiosa Ysabel uxor eius”[1285]. Henri Duke of Normandy confirmed donations to Goldcliff priory by "Robertus de Candos" for the soul of "uxoris sue Isabel et filiorum suorum", confirmed by "Rannulfus", and another donation by "Isabel…de Candos et Robertus filius eius…concessione Walteri filii predicte Isabel" by charter dated to [1153/54][1286]. Military fee certifications in the Red Book of the Exchequer, in 1166, record that "Robertus de Candos" used to hold one knight’s fee from the abbot of Glastonbury in Somerset "tempore Regis Henrici" (presumably indicating King Henry I) now held by "Walterus filius eius"[1287]. Henri Duke of Normandy confirmed donations by "Robertus de Candos…Rogerus…de Candos…Walterus de Candos" to the priory of Sainte-Marie-Madeleine de Goldcliff, in confirmation of donations by "Robertus de Candos" during the reign of King Henry I for the soul of "uxoris sue Isabel et filiorum suorum" by charter dated [Jan/Aug] 1153[1288]. m (before 1123) ISABELLE Giffard, daughter of [WALTER Giffard Earl of Buckingham & his wife Agnes de Ribemont] (-after 1130, bur Beaumont in Vexin). Orderic Vitalis records that “Rodbertus de Candos” was castellan of Gisors, dated to 1123 from the context, and names “religiosa Ysabel uxor eius”[1289]. The Historia cœnobiii Mortui-Maris records that "Robertus de Candos, Gisortii castellanus et Isabella eius uxor, Walteri Giffardi Longævillæ comitis soror" built the monastery of "Bellomonte in Wilcassino Normannico" in 1130 and was buried there "cum quodam filiorum…primogenitus"[1290]. The identity of "Walteri Giffardi Longævillæ comitis" has not been established beyond doubt, so the parentage of Isabelle is not certain. From a chronologicial point of view, it appears unlikely that she was the sister of Walter Giffard who died in 1102, given that her husband was still recorded in 1153. It therefore appears more likely that Isabelle was the sister of Walter Giffard who died in 1164. Henri Duke of Normandy confirmed donations to Goldcliff priory by "Robertus de Candos" for the soul of "uxoris sue Isabel et filiorum suorum", confirmed by "Rannulfus", and another donation by "Isabel…de Candos et Robertus filius eius…concessione Walteri filii predicte Isabel" by charter dated to [1153/54][1291].

Henri Duke of Normandy confirmed donations to Goldcliff priory by "Robertus de Candos" for the soul of "uxoris sue Isabel et filiorum suorum", confirmed by "Rannulfus", and another donation by "Isabel…de Candos et Robertus filius eius…concessione Walteri filii predicte Isabel" by charter dated to [1153/54][1293]. A charter of King John dated 22 Apr 1201 records donations to Goldcliff priory, Monmouthshire, including the donation made by "Isabellæ de Candos et Roberti filii eius, concessione Walteri filii ipsius Isabellæ"[1294].

Military fee certifications in the Red Book of the Exchequer, in 1166, record that "Robertus de Candos" used to hold one knight’s fee from the abbot of Glastonbury in Somerset "tempore Regis Henrici" (presumably indicating King Henry I) now held by "Walterus filius eius"[1296]. A charter of King John dated 22 Apr 1201 records donations to Goldcliff priory, Monmouthshire, including the donation made by "Isabellæ de Candos et Roberti filii eius, concessione Walteri filii ipsius Isabellæ"[1297].

CHAWORTH (CHAOURCES)

The common use of the name Patrice indicates that the Chaources/Chaworth family in England was descended from the family of the seigneurs de Sourches in Maine (see the document MAINE NOBILITY). The parentage of Patrice [III], ancestor of the English family set out below, is uncertain. An English source dated to the reign of King William II confirms that his father’s name was Patrick/Patrice. The chronology of the family suggests that this was probably Patrice [II], although this affiliation cannot be confirmed beyond all doubt. "Patricius de Cadurcis" donated land "apud Ameneye de feodo suo…[et] apud Ameneye Sancti Nicholai" to Gloucester St Peter, with the confirmation of "rege Henrico seniore", by undated charter but dated to "tempore Willelmi abbatis" [abbot from 1113 to 1131][1323].

PATRICK [III] [renumbered [I] for the purposes of the present document] de Chaources [Chaworth], son of [PATRICE [II] de Chaources & his wife ---] (-after 1133). The Historia sancti Petri Gloucestriæ records that "Patricius de Cadurcis filius Patricii" donated the mill at “Horcote in villa de Kynermaresforde" with the consent of "rege Henrico seniore…tempore Willelmi abbatis" [abbot from 1113 to 1131] and that "Patricius de Cadurcis" donated "tria molendina in Kynemerefforde" confirmed by "rex Willielmus junior…tempore Serlonis abbatis" [abbot from 1072 to 1104][1324]. It is uncertain whether "Patricius de Cadurcis" who made the earlier donation (undoubtedly Patrice [III]) was the same person as "Patricius de Cadurcis filius Patricii" who made the later donation. The latter could also have been Patrick [II] (see below). If Patrice [III] was the son of another Patrice, the chronology suggests that his father was Patrice [II], although this affiliation cannot be confirmed beyond all doubt. He succeeded his father-in-law at Weston, near Bath, and at Kempsford in Gloucestershire. The Historia sancti Petri Gloucestriæ records that "Ernulphus de Hesdyng" donated "ecclesiam de Heythrop, Lynkbolt…et ecclesiam de Kynemerforde", confirmed by "Patricius de Cadurcis et Matilda uxor eius", and by "hæredum suorum" in "quatuor cartæ", in the fourth of which "Paganus filius Patricii" donated "decimam domini sui de Kynermerforde", that "Johannes episcopus" confirmed and donated "quatuor marcas annuas in ecclesia de Kynermerforde", with the confirmation of "Rex Henricus senior…tempore Serlonis abbatis" [abbot from 1072 to 1104][1325]. "Patricius" donated "v hidas terræ de Westona" to Bath St Peter, for the souls of "…Hamelini et Winebaldi de Baalun…ac…Arnulfi de Hesding…et Warini clerici mei", by charter dated 14 Sep 1100, witnessed by "Hamelinus et Winebaldus de Baalun…"[1326]. [“Patricius Caurtiarum dominus…et Paganus filius meus” donated land at “Brullon, de Bernei, de Sancto Medardo de Balardone” to Saint-Pierre de la Couture by charter dated to [1100][1327]. Although the Latin name of the donor is somewhat different from the usual rendering of "Chaources", the last property listed is the same as one donated by an earlier member of the Chaources family which suggests that the donor was Patrick [I].] "…Patricius de Caorgis…" subscribed a charter of Henry I King of England dated 1101 for Bath St Peter[1328]. Henry I King of England confirmed that "Patricius de Cadurcis" donated land "de Amenel et…de Kenemereforde" to Gloucester St Peter by charter dated to [1100/12][1329]. “Patricius de Cadurcis et uxor mea Mathildis” donated “ecclesiam de Dedintona” to Saint-Pierre de la Couture, for the soul of “Ernulfi de Hodine”, by charter dated to [1120][1330]. A manuscript which lists donations to Gloucester St Peter includes a record of the donation by "Ernulphus de Hesdyng", confirmed by “Patricius de Cadurcis et Matildis uxor eius”, of “ecclesiam de Kynermerforde", and the later donation by "Paganus filius Patricii"[1331]. "Patricius de Caurz…" subscribed a charter dated 28 Jun 1121 under which "Willelmus filius regis" donated "terra…Grenta de Stoca" to Bath St Peter[1332]. Military fee certifications in the Red Book of the Exchequer, in 1166, record that "Patricius de Chaurcis avus Pagani de Mundublel" held fees in Gloucestershire during the life of King Henry I[1333]. "Patricius de Cadurcis" donated land "apud Ameneye de feodo suo…[et] apud Ameneye Sancti Nicholai" to Gloucester St Peter, with the confirmation of "rege Henrico seniore", by undated charter but dated to "tempore Willelmi abbatis"[1334]. "Patricius de Cadurcis" donated "molendinum de Horcote" to Gloucester St Peter, undated "tempore Willelmi abbatis"[1335]. The 1130 Pipe Roll records "Patric de Cadurc" in Oxfordshire and in Wiltshire[1336]. "Patricius de Cadurcis et Matilda uxor mea" donated "unam virgatam in Kynemereforde" to Gloucester St Peter by charter dated 1133[1337]. m (before 14 Sep 1100) MATHILDE, daughter and co-heiress of ARNOUL de Hesdin & his wife Emmeline [de Ballon] (-after 1133). The Historia sancti Petri Gloucestriæ records that "Ernulphus de Hesdyng" donated "ecclesiam de Heythrop, Lynkbolt…et ecclesiam de Kynemerforde", confirmed by "Patricius de Cadurcis et Matilda uxor eius", and by "hæredum suorum" in "quatuor cartæ", in the fourth of which "Paganus filius Patricii" donated "decimam domini sui de Kynermerforde", that "Johannes episcopus" confirmed and donated "quatuor marcas annuas in ecclesia de Kynermerforde", with the confirmation of "Rex Henricus senior…tempore Serlonis abbatis" [abbot from 1072 to 1104][1338]. The date of her marriage is set by the charter dated 14 Sep 1100 under which her husband donated property for the soul of his father-in-law, although the document does not specify the relationships between the parties. “Patricius de Cadurcis et uxor mea Mathildis” donated “ecclesiam de Dedintona” to Saint-Pierre de la Couture, for the soul of “Ernulfi de Hodine”, by charter dated to [1120][1339]. "Patricius de Cadurcis et Matilda uxor mea" donated "unam virgatam in Kynemereforde" to Gloucester St Peter by charter dated 1133[1340]. Patrick [I] & his wife had [four] children:

1. [PAGAN de Chaources (-after [1100]). “Patricius Caurtiarum dominus…et Paganus filius meus” donated land at “Brullon, de Bernei, de Sancto Medardo de Balardone” to Saint-Pierre de la Couture by charter dated to [1100][1341]. Although the Latin name of the donor is somewhat different from the usual rendering of "Chaources", the last property listed is the same as one donated by an earlier member of the Chaources family which suggests that the donor was Patrick [I]. If that is correct, it is possible that Pagan was the same person as Patrick [II], before he had been baptised.]

2. PATRICK [II] de Chaources (-before [1142]). Bracton lists a claim by "[Willelmus Comes] Sarr et Ela [uxor eius]" against "Paganum de Chawtesteford in comitatu Gloucestrie" dated 1218, recording that "Patricius de Chawrtes antecessor eiusdem Pagani" gave a manor (unnamed) "[in maritagium] --- Sibilla sua" from whom it descended to "Patricio filio suo et de ipse Patricio --- [patri ipsius] Ele et de ipso Willelmo predicte Ele"[1342]. His independent existence is also confirmed by the undated charter under which [his grandson] "Patricius de Cadurcis" confirmed the donation of "ecclesiam…de Kinemereforde" made to Gloucester St Peter by "Patricius proavus meus […et uxor eius Matilda]…et Paganus pater meus"[1343]. His name is confirmed by a manuscript which lists donations to Gloucester St Peter, including a record of the donation by "Ernulphus de Hesdyng", confirmed by “Patricius de Cadurcis et Matildis uxor eius”, of “ecclesiam de Kynermerforde", and the later donation by "Paganus filius Patricii"[1344]. A charter dated 1155, under which Henry II King of England confirmed the possessions of "Pat-cii de Cadurcis avi sui" in England to [his son] "Pagano de Monte Dublelli"[1345], suggests that Patrick [II] never entered into possession of these lands. It is possible that this was the result of forfeiture at some time, or because Patrick [II] had predeceased his father. In the latter case, the 1155 confirmation could have coincided with Pagan having reached the age of majority. [The Historia sancti Petri Gloucestriæ records that "Patricius de Cadurcis filius Patricii" donated the mill at “Horcote in villa de Kynermaresforde" with the consent of "rege Henrico seniore…tempore Willelmi abbatis" [abbot from 1113 to 1131] and that "Patricius de Cadurcis" donated "tria molendina in Kynemerefforde" confirmed by "rex Willielmus junior…tempore Serlonis abbatis" [abbot from 1072 to 1104][1346]. As noted above, it is uncertain whether "Patricius de Cadurcis" who made the earlier donation (undoubtedly Patrice [III]) was the same person as "Patricius de Cadurcis filius Patricii" who made the later donation. The latter could also have been Patrick [II].] m GUIBURGE [de Mondoubleau], daughter of --- & his wife [--- de Mondoubleau] (-after 1151). A charter dated to [1142] records that Geoffroy Duke of Normandy and Comte d’Anjou donated “terciam partem…in decima de Bellasilva…de Pagano de Monte Dublello et de Guib[erta] matre eius que de feodo meo est” to Saint-Pierre de la Couture[1347]. The primary source which confirms her parentage has not yet been identified. "Payen de Sourches et Guiburge sa mère" founded Tyronneau abbey at Saint-Aignan, canton of Marolles-les-Braux in 1151[1348]. Patrick [II] & his wife had two children:

a) PAGAN [I] de Chaources [de Mondoubleau] ([1133/36]-[1166/72]). A charter dated to [1142] records that Geoffroy Duke of Normandy and Comte d’Anjou donated “terciam partem…in decima de Bellasilva…de Pagano de Monte Dublello et de Guib[erta] matre eius que de feodo meo est” to Saint-Pierre de la Couture[1349]. "Payen de Sourches et Guiburge sa mère" founded Tyronneau abbey at Saint-Aignan, canton of Marolles-les-Braux in 1151[1350]. The involvement of Pagan’s mother suggests that Pagan had not yet then reached the age of majority. Henry II King of England confirmed the possessions of "Pat-cii de Cadurcis avi sui" in England to "Pagano de Monte Dublelli" by charter dated 1155[1351]. Pagan’s birth date is estimated on the assumption that this 1155 confirmation coincided with his reaching the age of majority. A manuscript which lists donations to Gloucester St Peter includes a record of the donation by "Ernulphus de Hesdyng", confirmed by “Patricius de Cadurcis et Matildis uxor eius”, of “ecclesiam de Kynermerforde", and the later donation by "Paganus filius Patricii"[1352]. The Historia sancti Petri Gloucestriæ records that "Ernulphus de Hesdyng" donated "ecclesiam de Heythrop, Lynkbolt…et ecclesiam de Kynemerforde", confirmed by "Patricius de Cadurcis et Matilda uxor eius", and by "hæredum suorum" in "quatuor cartæ", in the fourth of which "Paganus filius Patricii" donated "decimam domini sui de Kynermerforde", that "Johannes episcopus" confirmed and donated "quatuor marcas annuas in ecclesia de Kynermerforde", with the confirmation of "Rex Henricus senior…tempore Serlonis abbatis" [abbot from 1072 to 1104][1353].

3. SIBYL de Chaources (----, bur Bradenstoke Priory[1363]). The Book of Lacock records that “Walterus de Saresburia” married “Sibillam de Cadurcia”[1364]. The date of her marriage can be estimated very approximately from the likely birth date of her son William. Bracton lists a claim by "[Willelmus Comes] Sarr et Ela [uxor eius]" against "Paganum de Chawtesteford in comitatu Gloucestrie" dated 1218, recording that "Patricius de Chawrtes antecessor eiusdem Pagani" gave a manor (unnamed) "[in maritagium] --- Sibilla sua" from whom it descended to "Patricio filio suo et de ipse Patricio --- [patri ipsius] Ele et de ipso Willelmo predicte Ele"[1365]. m ([1115/20]) WALTER de Salisbury, son of EDWARD de Salisbury & his wife --- (-1147).

1. ROBERT de Chaources (-after 1176). Military fee certifications in the Red Book of the Exchequer, in 1166, record that "Robertus de Chaurcis" held one knight’s fee from "Willelmi de Albenny Britonis quam pater suus tenuit" in Leicestershire[1369]. The 1176/77 Pipe Roll names "Robertus de Chaurcis" in Warwickshire and Leicestershire[1370].

1. WILLIAM de Chaources (-before 21 Feb 1204). The Red Book of the Exchequer refers to "Willelmus de Chaorceiis" in Dorset, Somerset in [1186/87][1371]. The Red Book of the Exchequer, listing scutage payments in [1194/95], records "Willelmus de Chaorcis" paying "xx s, i militem" in Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire[1372]. m ---.

The Testa de Nevill lists knights who held land in the honour of Tickhill, dated to [1208/13]: "Robertus de Chauurces" held "i feudum"[1374]. The Red Book of the Exchequer records "Robertus de Chaurces" holding two parts of knights’ fees "in Norham de…honore de Tikehulle" and one third part "in Wadewrthe" in Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire in [1210/12][1375].

2. HUGH de Chaworth (-before Nov 1228). The Red Book of the Exchequer records "Hugo de Chawreis" holding one knight’s fee "in Swindone de escaeta Regis" in Wiltshire in [1210/12][1376]. An order dated 28 Nov 1228 decided that "Payn de Chaworth is not the heir of Hugh de Chaworth", that "he does not hold any lands formerly of the same Hugh in Toddington", and that he is therefore not reponsible for Hugh’s debts, dated 28 Nov 1228[1377]. [An undated charter, dated to the papacy of Innocent III, records an agreement between Gloucester St Peter and "R. Bardulf" concerning "ecclesiæ de Fayreforde…decimis…terræ de Middeltone quam Hugo de Chaurces quondam tenuit…ad ecclesiam suam de Kynemereforde pertinentes"[1378]. It is not known with certainty to which Hugh de Chaworth this document relates.] [m ELEANOR, daughter of --- (-after 1247). The Testa de Nevill lists fees in Gloucester, dated 1247, which include "dicunt quod Alienora que fuit Hugonis de Chawrth est de donatione regis et est maritanda..." with land in “Hundredum de Langel”[1379]. It has not been confirmed that Eleanor’s husband was the same Hugh de Chaworth who is named in 28 Nov 1228.]

PATRICK [III] de Chaources, son of PAGAN [I] de Chaources & his wife --- ([1155/60]-after [1200]). “Paganus de Cadurcis”, after killing "cuiusdam monachi in territorio de Brulone", donated "in Anglia ecclesiam de Dodingothone…Brusline decimas…in parrochia Sancti Medardi de Baladone" to Saint-Pierre de la Couture, confirmed by "duo filii sui Patricius et Hugo", by charter dated 27 May 1167[1380]. His parentage is confirmed by the undated charter under which "Patricius de Cadurcis" confirmed the donation of "ecclesiam…de Kinemereforde" made to Gloucester St Peter by "Patricius proavus meus […et uxor eius Matilda]…et Paganus pater meus"[1381]. The Red Book of the Exchequer refers to "Patricius de Chaorcis xix l, de novo dimidiam marcam" in Gloucestershire in [1171/72][1382]. The Red Book of the Exchequer, listing scutage payments in [1190/91], records "Patricius de Chaurcis" paying "vi l v s, xii milites et dimidium" in Gloucestershire[1383]. The Pipe Roll at Michaelmas 1194 records “Margareta de Bohun” liable for scutage in respect of her knights in Gloucestershire and “Patricius de Chaurcis” owing for the same scutage (both in respect of the army in Wales)[1384]. The Red Book of the Exchequer, listing scutage payments in [1194/95], names "Patriciis de Chaorciis" paying "xii l, xii milites" in Gloucestershire[1385].

m AGNES, daughter of --- (-before 1212). Patrick [III] donated rights in the forest of Sourches to the abbey of Champagne, with the consent of his wife Agnes, by charter dated to the early 12th century[1388]. [There is a possibility that Agnes was related to the Bohun family: the daughter of Humphrey [III] de Bohun and his wife Margaret of Gloucester. As noted above, the Pipe Roll at Michaelmas 1194 records “Margareta de Bohun” liable for scutage in respect of her knights in Gloucestershire and “Patricius de Chaurcis” owing for the same scutage (both in respect of the army in Wales)[1389]. “Margareta de Bohun” could be either Margaret of Gloucester (wife of Humphrey [III] de Bohun) or Margaret of Huntingdon (wife of Humphrey [IV]). A link between either of these Margarets de Bohun and Patrick [III] de Chaources has not otherwise been unidentified. One possibility is that Patrick’s wife was the daughter of one of them and that he held the property jointly with his mother-in-law. If that is correct, the chronology would suggest that Patrick’s wife was the daughter of Humphrey [IV].] Patrick [III] donated revenue from Malicorne, Sourches and Brûlon to the nuns of Fontaine-Saint-Martin, except for an annual payment to Cécile one of the nuns, in the presence of “Payen fils aîné de Patrice...Geoffroy de Brûlon frère de Patrice, Agnès femme de Patrice, Payen, Hugues, Patrice, Geoffroy fils de Patrice”, by charter dated to [1190/1214][1390].

j) [--- de Chesney . Matilda was presumably the daughter of one of the Chesney brothers who are named above. No information has been found which enables us to identify her father.

i) MATILDA de Chesney (-before 1198). Henry FitzGerold donated land in Sawbridgeworth, Herts to Reading abbey, naming "M. de Caisne uxori mee", by undated charter[1522]. Domesday Descendants says that she was heiress of William Chesney of Oxfordshire[1523]. H. E. Salter cites a charter which he says confirms that Matilda could not have been the daughter of William [I] de Chesney: "Henry de Dive dominus de Dadintone", in his capacity of “heir of William de Chesney quondam dominus de Dadington”, claimed the manor of Marston St Lawrence “which had belonged to his ancestor” from the canons at Lincoln by charter dated 1273[1524]. Henry de Dive was presumably descended from Lucy de Chesney, daughter of Ralph de Chesney (son of Hugh de Chesney, brother of William [I] de Chesney, see above), and her husband Guy de Dive. Salter comments that, if Matilda had been the daughter of William [I], her descendants and not those of Lucy de Chesney would have been his heirs. However, this comment assumes that William de Chesney who is named in Henry de Dive’s charter was William [I]: an alternative possibility is that he was William [II].

l) [daughter . Her son Gilbert Foliot refers to Robert de Chesney Bishop of Lincoln as his uncle in a letter[1534]. If “uncle” can be interpreted in its strict meaning, Gilbert’s mother must have been one of Robert’s sisters, maybe one of the sisters who are named above. Domesday Descendants refers to her as “Agnes de Chesney” but does not provide the basis for this statement[1535]. m ROBERT Foliot, son of --- (-[1150]).]

m) [daughter (-before [1173/74]). The name of Ralph Murdac’s mother is not known, but presumably she was one of the sisters who are named above. H. E. Salter states that "from the fact that [her son Ralph Murdac’s] eldest daughter was named Beatrice, it is a likely guess that Beatrice de Chesney (see above) was his mother"[1536]. m --- de Murdac, son of RALPH Murdac & his wife ---.]

4. [--- de Chesney . The precise relationship between William de Chesney, son of Roger de Chesney, and the brothers Alexander and Ralph de Chesney cannot be ascertained. One possibility is that “cognati” in the charter quoted below should be interpreted as cousins. If that is correct, their father would have been the brother of Roger de Chesney.] m ---. Two children:

a) ALEXANDER de Chesney . William de Chesney recorded that he obtained Marston St Lawrence, Northamptonshire from "domino et fratre meo Roberto de Caisneto Lincolniensi episcopo" by two undated charters, one issued at Lincoln witnessed by “Ralf de Chesney and William his brother my nephews, Alexander de Chesney and Ralf his brother my cognati”, the other at Verneuil witnessed by “Marg de Luci uxore mea, Rad. de Caisneto et Willelmo fratre suo nepotibus meis, Milone de Langetot et Milone filio suo...”[1537].

b) RALPH [II] de Chesney . William de Chesney recorded that he obtained Marston St Lawrence, Northamptonshire from "domino et fratre meo Roberto de Caisneto Lincolniensi episcopo" by two undated charters, one issued at Lincoln witnessed by “Ralf de Chesney and William his brother my nephews, Alexander de Chesney and Ralf his brother my cognati”, the other at Verneuil witnessed by “Marg de Luci uxore mea, Rad. de Caisneto et Willelmo fratre suo nepotibus meis, Milone de Langetot et Milone filio suo...”[1538].

Two brothers, parents not known, but presumably closely related to the family set out above:

1. PETER de Chesney . "Mathildis de Cheisnei" donated "unam hidam terre in uilla de Haiforde", previously held by “Hamelinus frater Petri de Chaisnei”, to Eynsham abbey by charter dated to [1173/89][1539].

2. HAMELIN de Chesney . "Mathildis de Cheisnei" donated "unam hidam terre in uilla de Haiforde", previously held by “Hamelinus frater Petri de Chaisnei”, to Eynsham abbey by charter dated to [1173/89][1540].

CLAIRFAIT

1. WILLIAM de Clairfait (-1168). The primary source which confirms his parentage has not been identified. A roll dated 1199 records that William de Clairfait “kept the keep [mota] of Tickhill Castle, as the King’s Constable, until the taking of King Stephen [dated to 7-10 April 1141, see the document ENGLAND KINGS], but after the taking of King Stephen, Henry, the King’s [John’s] father, seized the castle, and it was always afterwards in the King’s [Henry’s] hands”[1541]. The 1155/56 Pipe Roll records “Will de Clerfai” in Yorkshire[1542]. He is named in Roger Archbishop of York’s undated charter cited below under his daughter Sibylla. m firstly AVICE de Tanay, daughter of ---. Her family origin and marriage are confirmed by the undated charters cited below under her daughter Sibylla which record donations to Hampole priory made by "Avicia de Tanai avia mea, et Sibilla mater mea" and name Avice’s husband. m secondly as her second husband, AUBREYE de Lisours, widow of RICHARD FitzEustache, daughter of ROBERT de Lisours & his wife Aubreye [de Lacy] (-after Sep 1200). Her second marriage is confirmed by a note, added at the end of a charter under which “Fulk de Lisoriis and Aubrey his wife” donated lands at Billingley and elsewhere to Blyth priory, Nottinghamshire, which records that “Albreda filia supradicti Roberti de Lisoriis” confirmed the donation with the consent of “Willelmo de Clarofagio, viro suo”[1543]. She married thirdly (after 1168) Geoffrey de Cauz. She married fourthly ([1178]) William FitzGodric. Follow her husbands’ hyperlinks for sources which confirm Aubreye’s other marriages. William & his first wife had one child:

a) SIBYLLA de Clairfait . Her parentage and marriage are confirmed by the undated charter under which [her son] “Radulphus de Tilli, filius Radulphi de Tilli, et Sibillæ de Clerefai” confirmed donations of “totam villam de Hanepol…et ecclesiam de Mealtona…et ecclesiam de Bretewelle…et unam mansuram terræ in Lincolnia juxta aquam ubi mansit Radulphus de Lundoniis” made to Hampole Priory, Yorkshire by "Avicia de Tanai avia mea, et Sibilla mater mea"[1544]. “Rogerus de Tilli, filius Radulfi de Tilli, et Sibillæ de Clerefai” confirmed donations of “totam villam de Hanepol…” made to Hampole Priory, Yorkshire by "Avicia de Taneia avia mea, et Sibilla mater mea" by undated charter, witnessed by “Hugone de Tilly avunculo meo…”, while, by another undated charter, Roger Archbishop of York confirmed to Hampole the charters of “patronorum ecclesiæ de Adwich; scilicet Willielmi de Clarafai, et Aviciæ de Tanai uxoris suæ, et Albrede de Lisurs” who donated “ecclesiis de Adewich, et Meltun…ex donatione Willielmi de Clerefai et Aviciæ uxoris suæ, et Willielmi Painel, et aliorum advocatorum suorum“[1545]. m RALPH de Tilly, son of ---.

CLARE

RICHARD de Brionne, son of GILBERT de Brionne "Crespin" Comte d'Eu & his wife --- (before 1035-[Apr] [1090], bur St Neots, Huntingdonshire). Guillaume of Jumièges names “Richardum strenuissimum militem” as the son of “comes Gislebertus filius Godefridus comitis”, adding that he donated property to Bec with “filii eius Gislebertus, Rogerius, Walterius, Rodbertus”[1546]. He and his brother are named sons of Gilbert de Brionne by Orderic Vitalis, recording that they took refuge in Flanders after their father was murdered[1547]. Seigneur de Bienfaite et d'Orbec, after Guillaume II Duke of Normandy restored these properties to him after being requested to do so by his father-in-law Baudouin V Count of Flanders[1548]. He accompanied William I King of England into England and was rewarded with 176 lordships, mainly in Suffolk (many attached to the honour of Clare) and Kent[1549]. Lord of Clare and Tonbridge. Regent of England 1075. Orderic Vitalis records the rebellion of Robert, son of King William I, and his departure from Normandy accompanied by “Rodbertus de Bellismo et Guillelmus de Britolio, Rogerius Ricardi de Benefacta filius, Rodbertus de Molbraio et Guillelmus de Molinis, Guillelmus de Ruperia”, dated to [1077/78], and their journeys during five years of exile[1550]. Domesday Book records that “Richard [fitzGilbert] of Tonbridge” held Yalding in Twyford Hundred, East Barming in Maidstone Hundred, in Kent, land in Tandridge, Brixton, Reigate and other Hundreds in Surrey, and that "Richard son of Count Gilbert" held Lympstone in Devonshire, Harefield in Elthorne Hundred in Middlesex; numerous properties in Essex; and in Suffolk[1551]. The necrology of Saint-Nicaise de Meulan records the death of "Richardus filius comitis Gilberti monachus nostre congregationis", undated but listed among deaths recorded in late April[1552]. The Genealogia Fundatoris of Tintern Abbey, Monmouthshire records that “Ricardo filio comitis Gisleberti” was buried “apud sanctum Neotum”[1553].

m ROHESE Giffard, daughter of GAUTHIER Giffard & his wife Ermengarde --- (-after 1113, bur [Colchester]). Guillaume de Jumièges names "Galterium Giffardum primum” as father of “secundum Galterium Giffardum et filias plures” of whom “una...Rohais” married “Richardo filio comitis Gisleberti”[1554]. Orderic Vitalis records that “Gisleberti comitis [filium] Ricardum” married “Roaldem Gualterii Gifardi filiam”[1555]. Domesday Book records “Rohais wife of Richard son of Gilbert” holding Standon in Braughing Hundred in Hertfordshire; and Eynesbury in Huntingdonshire[1556]. The sources which confirm that Rohese did not marry, as her second husband, Eudes de Rie are discussed in ENGLISH UNTITLED NOBILITY – RIE.

Richard & his wife had eight children:

1. ROGER FitzRichard (-after 1131). Guillaume of Jumièges names “Richardum strenuissimum militem” as the son of “comes Gislebertus filius Godefridus comitis”, adding that he donated property to Bec with “filii eius Gislebertus, Rogerius, Walterius, Rodbertus”[1557]. Orderic Vitalis names “Rogerium et Gislebertum, Gualterium et Rodbertum atque Ricardum” as the children of “Gisleberti comitis [filium] Ricardum” and his wife “Roaldem Gualterii Gifardi filiam”[1558]. He succeeded his father in [1090] as Seigneur de Bienfaite et d'Orbec. He fought with Henry I King of England between 1111 and 1113, and saved the king's life at the battle of Bremulé in 1119[1559]. "Rogerius filius Ricardi cognatus regis" accompanied Mathilda, daughter of Henry I King of England, to Germany for her marriage to Emperor Heinrich V[1560]. "Comes Ricardus filius comitis Gisleberti" confirmed donations of property to Saint-Victor-en-Caux by "Radulfus de Vuaterivilla et Ansuuidus apud Bosunvillam", with the consent of "Rogerii filii Ricardi et comitis Gisleberti patris mei", by undated charter (a copy of which is attached to a late-12th century transcription of a charter under which Hugh de Mortimer confirmed donations to the monastery), witnessed by "Herveio de Monte Morenci…"[1561]. He was succeeded at Bienfaite and Orbec by his nephew Gilbert FitzGilbert de Clare, later Earl of Pembroke. m ---. The name of Roger's wife is not known. Roger & his wife had one child:

a) MABEL ([1123/24]-after 1184). The Rotuli de Dominabus of 1185 lists “Mabilia de Heliun…lx annorum…filia Rogeri filii Ricardi” and her heir “Robertus de Heliun” in Suffolk[1562]. [1563]m WILLIAM de Helion, son of [TIHEL de Helion] & his wife --- (-before 1159).

2. ROHESE FitzRichard de Clare (-7 Jan 1121, bur Le Bec, Normandy[1564]). The History of the foundation of St John’s abbey, Colchester names “Eudoni…major domus regiæ” and “Roasya uxor eius…Gilbertum comes, Rohaisæ frater”, clarifying in a later passage that she was “filia Ricardi…filius Gilberti comitis, [et] Rohaisam…soror Willielmi Giffardi episcopi Wintoniæ”[1565]. According to the Genealogia Fundatoris of Tintern Abbey, Monmouthshire, “Eudoni dapifero Regis Normanniæ” married ”Rohesia” widow of “Ricardo filio comitis Gisleberti”[1566], who would have been the mother of this Rohese (see above). “Rohais uxor Eudonis dapiferi” donated “manerium de Halingberi sicut dominus meus Eudo die qua vivus et mortuus fuit illud habebat” and land which “Gelebertus frater meus” gave her, for the souls of “Eudonis dapiferi mariti mei et Gilberti fratris mei” by undated charter[1567]. “Walterus filius Roberti” donated “terram de teia” to Colchester St. John, for the souls of “patris mei Roberti filii Ricardi et matris mee Matildis et...Rohaise amite mee que ecclesiam Sancti Johannis fundavit et fratrum suorum”, to Colchester St. John by undated charter[1568]. m EUDES de Rie dapifer, of Colchester, Essex, son of HUBERT [I] de Rie & his wife --- (-1 Mar 1120, bur Colchester). The History of the foundation of St John’s abbey, Colchester names “Eudoni…major domus regiæ”, “pater…eius…Hubertus de Ria, qui internuntius et sequester inter ducem Normanniæ et regem Angliæ…”, his three brothers “Radulfus...custodia castelli et comitatus Notingehamiæ, Hubertus…turris Norwici…Adam…in Cantia”, and “Roasya uxor eius…Gilbertum comes, Rohaisæ frater”[1569]. The History of the foundation of St John’s abbey, Colchester records the death “pridie Kal Mar 1120” of “Eudoni…major domus regiæ”, and that “Waltherius eius nepos” brought his body for burial[1570].

3. GILBERT FitzRichard de Clare (-1114 or 1117). Guillaume of Jumièges names “Richardum strenuissimum militem” as the son of “comes Gislebertus filius Godefridus comitis”, adding that he donated property to Bec with “filii eius Gislebertus, Rogerius, Walterius, Rodbertus”[1571]. Orderic Vitalis names “Rogerium et Gislebertum, Gualterium et Rodbertum atque Ricardum” as the children of “Gisleberti comitis [filium] Ricardum” and his wife “Roaldem Gualterii Gifardi filiam”[1572]. He succeeded his father in [1090] as Lord of Clare and Tonbridge. During the rebellion of 1089 against King William II, he was besieged in Tonbridge by the king, but wounded and forced to surrender[1573]. Lord of Cardigan 1110. “Gilebertus Ricardi filius et Adeliza uxor sua” granted part of tolls from “Tonebrugie” and “decimam de Escaldeford” to Lewes St. Pancras by charter dated to [1105/17], witnessed by “Waltero fratre eiusdem Gilberti...Guncell[in]o Gosmari filio, Humfri[d]o fratre eius, Picoto et Willelmo fratre eius, Engelranno de Abernun, Willelmo de Watevill”[1574]. Salzman dated this charter to [1110], but garbled the witness list (“Walter brother of the same Gilbert...Gunsell[in], Gosmar son of Humfrey his brother, Picot and William his brother, Engelran de Abert’, William de Wateuill”)[1575]. Stephen King of England confirmed donations to Lewes St. Pancras, including “in Suthreia...decimam de Scaldefort” donated by “Gillebertus filius Ricardi”, by undated charter[1576]. "Comes Ricardus filius comitis Gisleberti" confirmed donations of property to Saint-Victor-en-Caux by "Radulfus de Vuaterivilla et Ansuuidus apud Bosunvillam", with the consent of "Rogerii filii Ricardi et comitis Gisleberti patris mei", by undated charter (a copy of which is attached to a late-12th century transcription of a charter under which Hugh de Mortimer confirmed donations to the monastery), witnessed by "Herveio de Monte Morenci…"[1577]. The Annales Cambriæ record the death in 1117 of "Gilebertus filius Ricardi"[1578]. [m firstly ---. No direct evidence has been found concerning this possible first marriage. However, the Liber Vitæ of Thorney abbey lists "…Gilebt fili[us] Ricardi, Ricard fili[us] eius…Aaliz uxor Gilbti filii Ricardi, Comes Gilbt, Galteri…filii sui…"[1579]. The differentiation between "eius" and "sui" in the two parts of this text suggests that Richard, oldest son of Gilbert, may have been born from an earlier marriage of his father, otherwise unrecorded, although it is true that the passage as a whole appears to be designed as a list of Adelisa’s relatives and household.] m [secondly] as her first husband, ADELISA de Clermont, daughter of HUGUES Comte de Clermont-en-Beauvaisis & his wife Marguerite de Ramerupt. Guillaume of Jumièges records that “Giselbertus” married “filia comitis de Claromonte”[1580]. The Genealogiæ Scriptoris Fusniacensis refers to a sister of "comes Rainaldus" as husband of "Gillebertus, filius Richardi Anglici"[1581]. “Adeliz, uxor Gilberti filii Ricardi, et Gillebertus et Walterus et Baldewinus et Rohaisia pueri Gilberti” donated property “quod Tovi dedit…et in Randa…quas Turgisius tenebat” to Thorney Monastery, by undated charter witnessed by “Gilberto filio Gilberti, Galterio, Hervæo, Baldwino fratribus eius et Rohaisia sorore eorum”[1582]. "Hadalaidis filia Hugonis de Claromonte…uxor Gisleberti de Anglia" founded an anniversary at Saint-Leu d’Esserent, like the anniversaries of "patris sui Hugonis et matris sue Margarite", by undated charter[1583]. “Gilebertus Ricardi filius et Adeliza uxor sua” granted part of tolls from “Tonebrugie” and “decimam de Escaldeford” to Lewes St. Pancras by charter dated to [1105/17][1584]. She married secondly (after [1114/17]) [as his third wife, Bouchard [III] Seigneur] de Montmorency. Her second marriage into the Montmorency family is confirmed by the charter dated under which Robert Bishop of Lincoln confirms previous donations to Thorney, including one by “Adelidæ de Montemoraci” of “…terræ in Randa quas Turgisius tenuit et Toui prius dederat”[1585], which clearly refers back to the earlier charter quoted above. The precise identity of Adelisa’s second husband has not yet been confirmed. According to Duchesne, Adelisa’s second husband was Hervé, son of Bouchard [III] Seigneur de Montmorency and his second wife, but he cites no primary source on which this statement is based[1586]. As noted in the document PARIS REGION NOBILITY, the first marriage of Mathieu [I] de Montmorency, who would have been Hervé’s older half-brother born from their father’s first marriage, is dated to [1126]. This suggests the birth of Mathieu [I] in [1095/1105]. If that estimated date range is correct, any half-brothers born from his father’s second marriage would probably have been too young to have married Adelisa. In addition, given Adelisa’s prominent family background and first marriage, it is unlikely that her second husband would have been the younger son of the seigneur de Montmorency. As Adelisa had several children by her first husband, she would have been considerably older than her second husband if he had been a younger son of Bouchard [III]. A more likely case is that Adelisa’s second husband was Bouchard [III] himself, whose age and position would have been more appropriate for the marriage. This is supported by the Liber Vitæ of Thorney abbey which lists "…Gilebt fili[us] Ricardi…Burchardus de Muntmorenci…Aaliz uxor Gilbti filii Ricardi…", suggested by Keats-Rohan as Adelisa and her two husbands[1587]. A charter in the Stoke-by-Clare Priory Cartulary includes the reference "Rogerus coms Clar’ Aelicie de Clermunt ave sue..."[1588]. Gilbert & his [first/second] wife had one child:

a) RICHARD FitzGilbert de Clare (-killed in battle near Abergavenny 15 Apr 1136, bur Gloucester). Guillaume de Jumièges names "Richardum qui ei successit et Gislebertum et Walterium et unam filiam...Rohais” as the children of “Gislebertus ex filia comitis de Claromonte”[1589]. The Liber Vitæ of Thorney abbey lists "…Gilebt fili[us] Ricardi, Ricard fili[us] eius…Aaliz uxor Gilbti filii Ricardi, Comes Gilbt, Galteri…filii sui…"[1590]. The differentiation between "eius" and "sui" in the two parts of this text suggests that Richard may have been born from an earlier marriage of his father, otherwise unrecorded, although it is true that the passage as a whole appears to be designed as a list of Adelisa’s relatives and household. He succeeded his father as Lord of Clare.

Gilbert & his [second] wife had seven children:

b) GILBERT "Strongbow" de Clare ([1100][1591]-[1148/49], bur Tintern Abbey). Guillaume de Jumièges names "Richardum qui ei successit et Gislebertum et Walterium et unam filiam...Rohais” as the children of “Gislebertus ex filia comitis de Claromonte”[1592]. The Liber Vitæ of Thorney abbey lists "…Gilebt fili[us] Ricardi, Ricard fili[us] eius…Aaliz uxor Gilbti filii Ricardi, Comes Gilbt, Galteri…filii sui…"[1593]. “Adeliz, uxor Gilberti filii Ricardi, et Gillebertus et Walterus et Baldewinus et Rohaisia pueri Gilberti” donated property to Thorney Monastery, by undated charter witnessed by “Gilberto filio Gilberti, Galterio, Hervæo, Baldwino fratribus eius et Rohaisia sorore eorum”[1594]. He was created Earl of Pembroke in 1138 by King Stephen.

c) WALTER de Clare . Guillaume de Jumièges names "Richardum qui ei successit et Gislebertum et Walterium et unam filiam...Rohais” as the children of “Gislebertus ex filia comitis de Claromonte”[1595]. The Liber Vitæ of Thorney abbey lists "…Gilebt fili[us] Ricardi, Ricard fili[us] eius…Aaliz uxor Gilbti filii Ricardi, Comes Gilbt, Galteri…filii sui…"[1596]. “Adeliz, uxor Gilberti filii Ricardi, et Gillebertus et Walterus et Baldewinus et Rohaisia pueri Gilberti” donated property to Thorney Monastery, by undated charter witnessed by “Gilberto filio Gilberti, Galterio, Hervæo, Baldwino fratribus eius et Rohaisia sorore eorum”[1597]. “Badero de Momuta et uxor sua Rohes” donated revenue in Monmouth to Monmouth Priory by undated charter witnessed by "Galterus frater Gilleberti consulis, qui ipsa die loco consulis uxorem meam michi dedit…comitissa Ysabel, Robertus filius Baderonis, Johannes filius Roberti, Thomas filius Pagani…"[1598]. He went on the Second Crusade[1599].

d) BALDWIN FitzGilbert de Clare (-[1154]). The 1130 Pipe Roll records "Baldwinus filius Gisleb" for "terra Willi de Rullos cum filia Ric fratris sui" in Lincolnshire[1600]. “Adeliz, uxor Gilberti filii Ricardi, et Gillebertus et Walterus et Baldewinus et Rohaisia pueri Gilberti” donated property to Thorney Monastery, by undated charter witnessed by “Gilberto filio Gilberti, Galterio, Hervæo, Baldwino fratribus eius et Rohaisia sorore eorum”[1601]. The order of the names of the witnesses in this charter is curious. “Hervæo” was presumably the donor’s son by her second marriage. If that is correct, it is unclear why the name “Baldwino” follows, as other sources confirm that Baldwin was the donor’s son by her first marriage. Another curious point is that Baldwin’s name is not included in the family list in the Liber Vitæ of Thorney abbey: "…Gilebt fili[us] Ricardi, Ricard fili[us] eius…Aaliz uxor Gilbti filii Ricardi, Comes Gilbt, Galteri…filii sui…Rohais, Auiza, Margareta, Aaliz nate sue…"[1602]. Is it possible that Baldwin was his father’s illegitimate son, not born to his marriage to Adelisa de Clermont? Lord of Bourne, Lincolnshire[1603]. A charter of King Edward III confirmed donations to Bourn Priory, among which donations by “Baldevinus filius Gisleberti” with the consent of “filio meo Rogero et uxore mea Adhelina”[1604]. m (before 1130) ADELINA de Rollos, daughter of RICHARD de Rollos & his wife Emma ---. The 1130 Pipe Roll records "Baldwinus filius Gisleb" for "terra Willi de Rullos cum filia Ric fratris sui" in Lincolnshire[1605]. A charter of King Edward III confirmed donations to Bourn Priory, among which donations by “Baldevinus filius Gisleberti” with the consent of “filio meo Rogero et uxore mea Adhelina”[1606]. Baldwin & his wife had four children:

i) RICHARD de Clare (-1136). A charter of King Edward III confirmed donations to Bourn Priory, among which donations by “Baldevinus filius Gisleberti” with the consent of “filio meo Rogero et uxore mea Adhelina”[1607]. Robert of Torigny records the death in 1136 of "Ricardus filius Balduini consobrinus eius [Ricardi filii Gisleberti]"[1608].

ii) EMMA de Clare (-before 1168). "Hugo Wac" founded the abbey of Longues, for the souls of "Bauduini filii Gillberti et Emmæ filiæ eius uxoris meæ et…liberorum meorum Balduini et Gaufridi, et aliorum", by charter dated 1168[1609]. A charter of King Edward III confirmed donations to Bourn Priory, among which a confirmation by “Emma Wac filia Baldwini” of a donation by “Hugo Wac, assensu conjugis suæ Emmæ…[et] filio suo Baldewino”[1610]. She was heiress of her father[1611]. m HUGH Wake, son of GEOFFROY Wake [Wac] & his wife --- (-[1175/76]).

iii) MARGARET de Clare . The primary source which confirms her parentage and marriage has not yet been identified. m (after 1176) as his second wife, ROBERT de Vere, son of AUBREY de Vere & his wife Adelisa [Alice] de Clare (-after 1176).

iv) ROHESE de Clare (-after 1185). The Rotuli de Dominabus of 1185 records property held by “Roesia de Bussei…filia Baldewini filii Gilberti, uxor Willelmi de Bussei”, adding that she has two daughters “primogenitam habet Johannes de Builli et alteram Hugo Wake”[1612]. The primary source which confirms her second marriage has not yet been identified. m firstly WILLIAM de Bussy of Old Wardon, son of ---. m secondly BALDWIN Buelot, son of ---.

e) ROHESE de Clare (-before 1166). Guillaume de Jumièges names "Richardum qui ei successit et Gislebertum et Walterium et unam filiam...Rohais” as the children of “Gislebertus ex filia comitis de Claromonte”[1613]. The Liber Vitæ of Thorney abbey lists "…Gilebt fili[us] Ricardi, Ricard fili[us] eius…Aaliz uxor Gilbti filii Ricardi, Comes Gilbt, Galteri…filii sui…Rohais, Auiza, Margareta, Aaliz nate sue…"[1614]. “Adeliz, uxor Gilberti filii Ricardi, et Gillebertus et Walterus et Baldewinus et Rohaisia pueri Gilberti” donated property to Thorney Monastery, by undated charter witnessed by “Gilberto filio Gilberti, Galterio, Hervæo, Baldwino fratribus eius et Rohaisia sorore eorum”[1615]. “Badero de Momuta et uxor sua Rohes” donated revenue in Monmouth to Monmouth Priory by undated charter witnessed by "Galterus frater Gilleberti consulis, qui ipsa die loco consulis uxorem meam michi dedit…comitissa Ysabel, Robertus filius Baderonis, Johannes filius Roberti, Thomas filius Pagani…"[1616]. m ([1 Nov] before 1138) BADERON of Monmouth, son of WILLIAM FitzBaderon of Monmouth & his wife --- (-[1170/76]).

The Rotuli de Dominabus of 1185 records property “Barentone” held by “Margareta de Muntfichet, que fuit filia Gilberti filii Ricardi de Clara”, adding that “Gilebertus de Muntfichet est eius filius et heres” and that she has “iii infantes”[1618]. “Willielmus de Montefichet" donated "dominum meum de Hamma", with the consent of "uxoris meæ Margaretæ", by undated charter, witnessed by “Willelmo de Montefichet nepote meo”[1619]. m WILLIAM de Montfichet, son of [1620][WILLIAM de Montfichet & his wife Rohais ---] (-1137).

g) AVICE de Clare . The Liber Vitæ of Thorney abbey lists "…Gilebt fili[us] Ricardi, Ricard fili[us] eius…Aaliz uxor Gilbti filii Ricardi, Comes Gilbt, Galteri…filii sui…Rohais, Auiza, Margareta, Aaliz nate sue…"[1621].

Leland quotes a Vere manuscript which names "Albericus de Ver pater meus…Adeliza filia Gilberti de Clare" and "Adeliza de Estsexa, filia Alberici Ver et Adelizæ" who married "Rogerus filius Richardi, nepos comitis Hugonis Bigot"[1623]. Her birth date range is estimated from the birth of her first known son in [1110]. She became a nun at the Priory of St Osyth. m AUBREY de Vere, son of AUBREY de Vere & his wife Beatrix --- ([before 1090]-London 15 May 1141, bur Colne Priory, Essex).

4. ROBERT FitzRichard de Clare (-[1134], bur Priory of St Neot).

"Radulfus Filogerensis et uxor eius Avicia" donated property to Sainte-Trinité de Fougères by undated charter[1631]. “Telegeriis” has not been identified: it is unlikely to be Tillières, normally represented as “Tegularias” or variants, which had been granted to Gilbert Crispin by Guillaume II Duke of Normandy. The same individuals are named in the charter dated 7 Mar 1113 quoted below, which indicates that the family was Fougères: presumably “Telegeriis” is a misreading or mistranscription. m RAOUL [I] de Fougères, son of MEEN [II] de Fougères & his wife Adelaide --- (-1124).

7. RICHARD FitzRichard de Clare (-16 Jun 1107). Orderic Vitalis names “Rogerium et Gislebertum, Gualterium et Rodbertum atque Ricardum” as the children of “Gisleberti comitis [filium] Ricardum” and his wife “Roaldem Gualterii Gifardi filiam”, adding that Richard was “Beccensem monachum” and was granted “Eliense cœnobium” by King Henry I[1632].

Her identification as the daughter of Richard de Clare was first made by Round[1635]. "Adelissa [mater Gauterii filii Gauterii Tirelli]" donated property to the abbey of Saint-Martin de Pontoise by charter dated [1125/35] which states that the donation was made after the death of her son and the latter was buried at the abbey.

The marriage settlement of "Rogerus comes Warr…Agnetem filiam meam" and "Gaufrido camerario" is undated, witnessed by "…Roberto fratre meo et Gaufrido et Henrico…Willelmus de Glint[ona]…Hug[one] de Glint[ona] et Maur[icio] fratre eius…"[1677].

2. MAURICE de Clinton . "…Hugone de Clintona et Mauricio fratre eius…" witnessed the charter dated to [1132] under which "Robertus filius eiusdem Nicholai de Stadford" confirmed a donation made by "pater meus" to Kenilworth priory[1678]. The marriage settlement of "Rogerus comes Warr…Agnetem filiam meam" and "Gaufrido camerario" is undated, witnessed by "…Roberto fratre meo et Gaufrido et Henrico…Willelmus de Glint[ona]…Hug[one] de Glint[ona] et Maur[icio] fratre eius…"[1679].

1. OSBERT de Clinton (-after 1196). “Gaufridus camerarius de Clintona” founded Bretford nunnery in Warwickshire by undated charter, witnessed by “Agnete uxore mea cum filio meo Henrico...Osbertus de Clintona...”[1680]. The Red Book of the Exchequer, listing scutage payments in [1196/97], records "Osbertus de Clintone" paying "xx s, i militem" in Warwickshire, Leicestershire[1681].

2. JORDAN de Clinton (-after [1176/77]). The 1164/65 Pipe Roll records “Jord de Clinton” returning in Buckinghamshire[1682]. The 1176/77 Pipe Roll names "Iordanus de Clinton" in Oxfordshire[1683].

3. JORDAN de Clinton (-after 1217). Henry III King of England granted letters of conduct to "Jordanus de Clinton" dated [Apr] 1217[1684].

The parentage of William [II] has not been ascertained.

1. WILLIAM [II] de Clinton (-[1193/96]). [It has not been confirmed whether the following document refers to William [II]: the marriage settlement of "Rogerus comes Warr…Agnetem filiam meam" and "Gaufrido camerario" is undated, witnessed by "…Roberto fratre meo et Gaufrido et Henrico…Willelmus de Glint[ona]…Hug[one] de Glint[ona] et Maur[icio] fratre eius…"[1685].] In 1193, “William de Clinton” paid “for seisin of his lands in Eston…”[1686]. In 1196, “William de St. Mary Church” paid “for for the farm of Eston, which had belonged to William de Clinton: and the Hermit of the Wood of Clinton…for [land]…and the tithes which he held of the gift of Jordan de Eston”[1687]. m ISABEL, daughter of ---. King John granted “terra et custodia terre et heredis Willi de Clinton cum maritagium” to “Hug de Havesham”, dated 29 Sep 1200, recording that “Cancellat q Ysabella de Clinton” made payments (presumably referring to the following document)[1688]. An order dated 1201 records “Ysabella de Clinton” making payments for holding “f i mil in capite qd habet in custodia cum filio suo”[1689]. The Red Book of the Exchequer records "Ysabella de Clinton, i militem…" in Buckinghamshire in [1201/12][1690]. William [II] & his wife had [two] children:

a) WILLIAM [III] de Clinton ([before 1190?]-after 1228). The mentions of his mother’s landholdings in Buckinghamshire, cited above, suggest that her son was under age at the time. Presumably he reached the age of majority shortly before the following document: the Testa de Nevill lists knights who held land in Buckinghamshire, Bedfordshire, dated to [1208/10]: "Willelmus de Clinton" held "Eston"[1691]. The Red Book of the Exchequer records "Willelmus de Clintone" holding "Estone per serjanteriam lardenariæ, vel i militis" in Buckinghamshire in [1210/12][1692]. King John granted “manerium de Eston qd fuit Willi de Clinton” to “Walando Theuton”, and then to “Rodland de La Gerveray”, by order dated 5 Sep 1216[1693], presumably indicating that William [III] had fallen out of favour with the king. Hearings dated [4-24 Apr] and [30 Sep/3 Nov] 1222 record “Will. de Clinton” claiming “land in Eston”[1694]. A hearing dated 2 Jun 1223 mentions property “…towards Ailesbir…next the land of Will. de Clinton”[1695]. Bracton lists a claim by "Willelmus de Clinton" against "Adam de Mara", dated 1228, for "terre…in Ortona [Oxford]"[1696]. m as her second husband, NICIA, widow of WILLIAM [I] de Paris, daughter of --- (-before 16 Dec 1247). Her two marriages are indicated by her two sons (both named William) being recorded with different names, “de Paris” and “de Clinton”, as well as the likely difference in age between her two supposed husbands. Her first marriage is confirmed by the Inquisitions following her death cited below, which name her son by her presumed first husband (her son by her supposed second husband being deceased at the time). A hearing dated 1/15 Apr 1241 records “Nicia de Clinton” claiming land “in Aston”[1697]. The Testa de Nevill records land in Buckinghamshire, dated to [1242/43], "Aston et Clinton. Seriantia. De veteri. Nicia de Clinton tenet manerium de Eston de domino rege in capite per seriantim"[1698]. The Testa de Nevill records land in Buckinghamshire, dated 1244, "Nicia de Clinton tenet per seriantiam manerium de Eston et Clynton…x. libratas terre. Et Alicia de Moun xl. libratas. Et Eva de Clynton xx. libratas"[1699]. Inquisitions after a writ dated 16 Dec "31 Hen III", after the death of "Nicia de Clinton" name "William de Parys knt her son is her heir" and "Aston township" in Buckinghamshire "Robert de Bello Campo holds in dower with Alice his wife 40 l land and Lady Eva de Clynton holds 20 l land in dower"[1700]. William [III] & his wife had one child:

i) WILLIAM [IV] de Clinton ([1225?]-before 1244). The primary source which confirms his parentage has not been identified, but his being named “William de Clinton, the younger” by Maxwell-Lyte (see below) suggests that he was the son of William [III] (which also seems consistent with the family chronology), maybe born in the mid-1220s. m as her first husband, ALICE de Mohun, daughter of REYNOLD [II] de Mohun of Dunster, Somerset & his first wife Hawise de Mandeville (-after [28 Oct 1251/27 Oct 1252]). Maxwell-Lyte records her parentage, her first marriage “while a mere child, to William de Clinton, the younger, who settled on her land…40l. a year”, and her second marriage to “Robert de Beauchamp the younger of Hatch, in Somerset. To them her father…conveyed an estate known as ‘the Soke of Mohun’…between Fleet Bridge and Charing Cross” which they alienated to the abbot of Westminster [28 Oct 1251/27 Oct 1252][1701]. The Testa de Nevill records land in Buckinghamshire, dated 1244, "Nicia de Clinton tenet per seriantiam manerium de Eston et Clynton…x. libratas terre. Et Alicia de Moun xl. libratas. Et Eva de Clynton xx. libratas"[1702]. She married secondly Robert de Beauchamp of Hatch Beauchamp, Somerset. A writ dated 16 Dec "31 Hen III" [28 Oct 1246/27 Oct 1247], after the death of "Nicia de Clinton" names "William de Parys knt her son is her heir" and "Aston township" in Buckinghamshire "Robert de Bello Campo holds in dower with Alice his wife 40 l land and Lady Eva de Clynton holds 20 l land in dower"[1703].

b) [EVA [de Clinton] (-after 16 Dec 1247). The following mentions of “Eva de Clinton” could be explained if she was the daughter of William [II], and maybe the senior surviving member of the family at the time. This suggestion has not been confirmed beyond doubt. The Testa de Nevill records land in Buckinghamshire, dated 1244, "Nicia de Clinton tenet per seriantiam manerium de Eston et Clynton…x. libratas terre. Et Alicia de Moun xl. libratas. Et Eva de Clynton xx. libratas"[1704]. A writ dated 16 Dec "31 Hen III", after the death of "Nicia de Clinton" names "William de Parys knt her son is her heir" and "Aston township" in Buckinghamshire "Robert de Bello Campo holds in dower with Alice his wife 40 l land and Lady Eva de Clynton holds 20 l land in dower"[1705].]

1. WILLIAM [I] de Paris, son of --- ([1170/75?]-after 1212). His birth date is estimated from the possible birth date of his older daughter. The Victoria County History of Oxfordshire records that in 1206 “the undertenant of the Arsic fee [in South Newington, Oxfordshire] was William of Paris”[1706]. A manuscript “The Cranford Inheritance”, held among “Berkeley Castle Muniments”, records that “By 1206, the manor [of South Newington] was held by William (I) de Paris, who c. 1212 granted an estate in South Newington to Ralph Ivaus (or Loas, Juas, Jueus, Ives, Sowas) in marriage with his daughter Helewise”[1707]. No record has been found indicating when William [I] died. m firstly ---. The apparent age difference between William’s daughter Helwise and his son William [II] suggests that they were born from different marriages. m secondly as her first husband, NICIA, daughter of --- (-before 16 Dec 1247). Her two marriages are indicated by her two sons (both named William) being recorded with different names, “de Paris” and “de Clinton”, as well as the likely difference in age between her two supposed husbands. Her first marriage is confirmed by the Inquisitions following her death cited below, which name her son by her presumed first husband (her son by her supposed second husband being deceased at the time). She married secondly William [III] de Clinton. A hearing dated 1/15 Apr 1241 records “Nicia de Clinton” claiming land “in Aston”[1708]. The Testa de Nevill records land in Buckinghamshire, dated to [1242/43], "Aston et Clinton. Seriantia. De veteri. Nicia de Clinton tenet manerium de Eston de domino rege in capite per seriantim"[1709]. The Testa de Nevill records land in Buckinghamshire, dated 1244, "Nicia de Clinton tenet per seriantiam manerium de Eston et Clynton…x. libratas terre. Et Alicia de Moun xl. libratas. Et Eva de Clynton xx. libratas"[1710]. Inquisitions after a writ dated 16 Dec "31 Hen III", after the death of "Nicia de Clinton" name "William de Parys knt her son is her heir" and "Aston township" in Buckinghamshire "Robert de Bello Campo holds in dower with Alice his wife 40 l land and Lady Eva de Clynton holds 20 l land in dower"[1711]. William [I] & his first wife had one child:

a) HELWISE de Paris ([1200?]-before 28 Dec 1255). A manuscript “The Cranford Inheritance”, held among “Berkeley Castle Muniments”, records that “By 1206, the manor [of South Newington] was held by William (I) de Paris, who c. 1212 granted an estate in South Newington to Ralph Ivaus (or Loas, Juas, Jueus, Ives, Sowas) in marriage with his daughter Helewise”[1712]. This proposed marriage suggests that Helewise may have been around 12 years old at the time, so born [1200?]. m ([1212]) RALPH Ivaus, son of ---. One child:

i) RALPH Ivaus (-1272). The 28 Dec 1255 Inquisitions, cited below under William [II] de Paris, record "Ralph Ivaus is his heir on the part of his elder sister, and has a moiety of the lands by the king’s command…". “The Cranford Inheritance” manuscript (summary), cited above, records that Ralph Ivaus, named in these Inquisitions, was the deceased’s nephew, noting that “In 1259 Ralph Ivaus and his wife Agnes granted the reversion of the property in South Newington to Nicholas de Cranford [a canon of Wells], but Ralph also granted all his holdings there to Robert [de Cranford, nephew of Nicholas]”, and adding that Ralph [II] died “without issue in 1272”[1713]. m AGNES, daughter of --- (-after 1259). She is named in 1259, see above.

William [I] & his [first/second] wife had one child:

b) MAUD de Paris ([1205/10?]-[after 28 Dec 1255?]). The identity of Maud’s mother has not been confirmed, although the birth date of her son suggests that she was probably born from her father’s first marriage,.maybe [1205/10?]. Her birth date is suggested from the likely birth date of her son, shown below. The 28 Dec 1255 Inquisitions cited below under her brother record "…Robert le Gustur, aged 28, is coheir on the part of his other sister". “The Cranford Inheritance” manuscript (summary), cited above, records that these Inquisitions divided the deceased’s estate between “his surviving sister Maud” and “his nephew Ralph (II) Ivaus”[1714]. It is unclear why Maud would not have been named William’s m --- Le Gustur, son of ---. One child:

i) ROBERT Le Gustur ([1226/27]-after 6 Apr 1256). He is named “aged 28” in the 28 Dec 1255 Inquisitions cited above. A document dated 6 Apr 1256 records the homage of “Roberti Le Gustur nepotis et uni hedum Will’I de Paris de medietate omm terra…que predictus Will tenuit de R in capite”[1715]. No indication has been found of his date of death.

William [I] & his second wife had one child:

a) WILLIAM [II] de Paris ([before 1226?]-before 28 Dec 1255).

CORBET

The relationship, if any, between this Corbet family of Shropshire and the Corbet family in Scotland (see the document SCOTLAND UNTITLED NOBILITY) has not yet been established. A connection is suggested by the fact that "…Robertus Corbet…" witnessed two charters which are dated to the reign of Alexander I King of Scotland[1735], maybe identified as Robert [II] Corbet (shown below) of whom no trace has been found in England after [1141/42] and who could have settled in Scotland. The question whether Sibyl Corbet, sister of Robert [II], was the mother of Sibyl, wife of Alexander I King of Scotland, is discussed in the document ENGLAND, KINGS 1066-1603.

CORBET (-after [1071]). Orderic Vitalis records "Guillelmum cognomento Pantulfum et Picodum atque Corbatum, filiosque eius Rogerium et Rodbertum" as vassals of Roger de Montgommery in Shropshire, dated to [1071] from the context[1736].

m ---. The name of Corbet’s wife is not known.

Corbet & his wife had two children:

1. ROGER [I] Corbet (-after [May 1121]). Orderic Vitalis records "Guillelmum cognomento Pantulfum et Picodum atque Corbatum, filiosque eius Rogerium et Rodbertum" as vassals of Roger de Montgommery in Shropshire, dated to [1071] from the context[1737]. Domesday Book records that "Roger Fitz Corbet" held the manor of Fairley, parish of Pontesbury, Shropshire[1738]. Domesday Book records “Roger fitzCorbet” holding Welbatch, Stapleton, Acton Burnell, Wentnor, Winsley, Wollaston and several other places in Shropshire[1739]. "Rogerius filius Corbet, Robertus frater eius" subscribed the charter dated to [May 1121] under which Henry I King of England confirmed Shrewsbury abbey[1740]. A manuscript reciting the foundation of Shrewsbury abbey records donations including by "Rogerus Corbeth" of “villam…Wenelegam”, with the consent of "filiis suis Willelmo et Eurardo"[1741]. "…Rogero Chorbet, Roberto Chorbet" subscribed the undated charter under which “Rogerus comes Salopesberiæ” founded Shrewsbury abbey[1742]. m ---. The name of Roger’s wife is not known. Roger [I] & his wife had [three] children:

a) WILLIAM Corbet (-after 1166). A manuscript reciting the foundation of Shrewsbury abbey records donations including by "Rogerus Corbeth" of “villam…Wenelegam”, with the consent of "filiis suis Willelmo et Eurardo"[1743]. Military fee certifications in the Red Book of the Exchequer, in 1166, record "Willelmus Corbete" holding one knight’s fee in the honour of Wallingford in Berkshire[1744].

b) EVERARD Corbet . A manuscript reciting the foundation of Shrewsbury abbey records donations including by "Rogerus Corbeth" of “villam…Wenelegam”, with the consent of "filiis suis Willelmo et Eurardo"[1745]. Henry II King of England confirmed the foundation of Shrewsbury abbey by charter dated 1155 which includes a reference to the donation by "Rogeri Corbeth ecclesiam de Wantenoura" and by "Ebrardi et Symonis filii eius" of land "in Wantenover"[1746].

c) [SIMON [I] Corbet . Henry II King of England confirmed the foundation of Shrewsbury abbey by charter dated 1155 which includes a reference to the donation by "Rogeri Corbeth ecclesiam de Wantenoura" and by "Ebrardi et Symonis filii eius" of land "in Wantenover"[1747]. However, the similar confirmation issued by Henry III King of England refers to the donation by "Ebrardi et Symonis filiorum eius", referring back to Roger[1748]. It is therefore not certain whether Simon was the son of Roger or of Roger’s son Everard.]

2. ROBERT [I] Corbet (-after 1124). Orderic Vitalis records "Guillelmum cognomento Pantulfum et Picodum atque Corbatum, filiosque eius Rogerium et Rodbertum" as vassals of Roger de Montgommery in Shropshire, dated to [1071] from the context[1749]. Domesday Book records “Robert fitzCorbet” holding Woolstaston, Ratlinghope, Womerton, Woodcote, Longden and several other places in Shropshire[1750]. Henry I King of England granted the manor of Alcester, Warwickshire to Robert Corbet[1751]. "Rogerius filius Corbet, Robertus frater eius" subscribed the charter dated to [May 1121] under which Henry I King of England confirmed Shrewsbury abbey[1752]. A manuscript reciting the foundation of Shrewsbury abbey records donations including by "Robertus Corbeth" of “villam…Lochetonam”, with the consent of "filius eius Robertus"[1753]. "…Robto Corbet…" witnessed the charter dated to [1119/24] under which "David comes filii Malcolmi regis Scotorum" founded the monastery of Kelso[1754]. "…Robertus Corbet…" witnessed the charter, dated to the reign of Alexander I King of Scotland, under which "David predicti regis Scotie germanum…Cumbrensis regionis princeps" listed the lands of the church of Glasgow[1755]. "…Rob Corbet…" witnessed the undated charter under which David I King of Scotland donated property to "ecclesie sci Johis de castro de Rokesburg"[1756]. m [firstly] ---. The name of Robert’s [first] wife is not known. m [secondly] ---. The name of Robert’s [second] wife is not known. This second marriage is suggested by the difference in age between Robert’s two daughters, as explained below, although their estimated dates of birth could fall within the reproductive range of one woman. Robert [I] & his [first] wife had one child:

a) SIBYL Corbet ([1090/95]-after 1157). The Complete Peerage deduces her parentage, relationship with King Henry, and her marriage from a charter, dated to [1163/75], of her son "Reginaldus, Henrici Regis filius, comes Cornubiæ" by which he granted property to "Willielmo de Boterell, filio Aliziæ Corbet, materteræ meæ" which he had granted to "Willielmo de Boterells in Cornubia, patri…predicti Willielmi" on his marriage, witnessed by "Nicholao filio meo…Herberto filio Herberti, Baldwino et Ricardo nepotibus meis, Willelmo de Vernun, Willielmo fratre meo…Hugone de Dunstanvill…"[1757]. The [1125/35] birth date range estimated for her son Herbert, born from this marriage, suggests that she married after her relationship with the king. The question whether she was the mother of Sibyl, wife of Alexander I King of Scotland, is discussed in the document ENGLAND, KINGS 1066-1603. Lady of Alcester and Pontesbury. The Pipe Roll of 1157 records a payment to "the mother of Earl Reginald" from an estate at Mienes, Sussex[1758]. Mistress ([1110/15]) of HENRY I King of England, son of WILLIAM I "the Conqueror" King of England & his wife Mathilde de Flandre (Selby, Yorkshire Sep 1068-Château de Lyon-la-Forêt, near Rouen 1 Dec 1135, bur Reading Abbey, Berkshire). m ([1115/25]) HERBERT FitzHerbert, son of HERBERT FitzHenry & his first wife Emma de Blois (-before 1165).

Robert [I] & his [second] wife had two children:

b) ROBERT [II] Corbet (-after Jul 1141). "…Roberto Corbet…" is named as present at a second donation by “Mylo constabularius de Gloucestria” to Lanthony abbey, undated but following an earlier donation dated 1137[1759]. It is not known with certainty that this Robert Corbet was the son of the earlier Robert Corbet. However, the latter would have been very old at the time if the charter refers to him. A manuscript reciting the foundation of Shrewsbury abbey records donations including by "Robertus Corbeth" of “villam…Lochetonam”, with the consent of "filius eius Robertus"[1760]. "…Rob Corbet…" witnessed the charter dated [Jul 1141/Dec 1142] under which Empress Matilda permitted "Milon com Heref" to hold the castle and honour of Abergavenny, from "Bri fil com et Matild de Walengeford uxor sue"[1761]. The absence of any later reference either to Robert [II] or to any possible children suggests that he died childless, maybe before he married, which in turn would suggest that he may have been born from his father’s supposed second marriage. Another possibility is that he settled in Scotland, where Walter Corbet and his descendants are recorded from the end of the 12th century (see the document UNTITLED SCOTTISH NOBILITY).

c) ALICE Corbet ([1115/20]-). Eyton states that "Alice, daughter and eventual co-heir of Robert fitz Corbet married William Botterell of Cornwall", adding that the marriage must be dated to after 1140 as on her marriage her nephew Renaud Earl of Cornwall gave her property at "Cracunton and Bidun", both in Cornwall, which he assesses would only have been his after his installation as earl in that year[1762]. Renaud Earl of Cornwall issued a charter for William de Boterel which names his mother "matertere mee Aliz Corbet"[1763]. As noted above, Alice’s estimated birth date suggests that she may have been born from a different marriage from her sister Sibyl, although it is possible that their estimated dates of birth could fall within the reproductive range of one woman. m (1140 or after) WILLIAM Boterel [I], son of --- (-[1165/75]). Military fee certifications in the Red Book of the Exchequer, in 1166, record that "Willelmus de Boterellis" held one knight’s fee from the bishop of Exeter in Devon and twelve knights’ fees from "comitis Reginaldi" in Cornwall[1764].

Two brothers. Eyton says that they were "I suppose, sons of Simon [I] and grandsons of Roger [I] Corbet"[1765]. It is indicated above that one possibility is that Simon [I] was the grandson not the son of Roger [I]. If that is correct, it is possible that Simon [I] and Simon [II] were the same person.

1. ROGER [II] Corbet (-[1162]). He is named as “patruus” of Robert [III] Corbet in the charter dated 24 Jan 1190 quoted below, and holding “the forest of Tenfrestanes” during the reign of King Henry II. As the same property was regranted to his nephew, it is likely that Roger [I] died childless. The transfer of the property to his nephew may also suggest that Roger [II] was the older brother. Eyton notes that Roger Corbet subscribed charters dated to 1155 under which King Henry II confirmed the possessions of Shrewsbury abbey[1766]. The 1161/62 Pipe Roll records “Rog Corbet” in Shropshire[1767]. His name has not been found in later Pipe Rolls, which suggests his death in [1162]. same person as…? ROGER Corbet . An undated charter records an agreement between Tewkesbury and “Rogerum Corbet et Hawisam uxorem suam" concerning “advocatione ecclesiæ de Chedeslega”[1768]. m HAWISE, daughter of ---. An undated charter records an agreement between Tewkesbury and “Rogerum Corbet et Hawisam uxorem suam" concerning “advocatione ecclesiæ de Chedeslega”[1769].

2. SIMON [II] Corbet (-before [1162]). He is named as grandfather of Robert [III] Corbet in the document dated 1236 quoted below, which also records that Simon held the manor of Pontesbury during the reign of King Henry II. Simon presumably predeceased his brother as his name has not been found in the Pipe Rolls. m ---. The name of Simon’s wife is not known. Simon & his wife had one child:

a) ROBERT [III] Corbet (before [1158]-[22 Jul 1219/17 Oct 1222]). Eyton quotes (in translation) a charter dated 24 Jan 1190 under which King Richard I restored "to Robert Corbet…the forest of Tenefrestanes…as Roger patruus of the said Robert had held in the time of King Henry, the grantor’s father"[1770]. In a later section, Eyton provides details of a later source which confirms Robert’s parentage: in litigation with Herbert FitzPeter in 1236, Robert’s son Thomas alleged that his grandfather ("avus") had been seised of the manor of Pontesbury during the reign of King Henry II[1771]. The 1175/76 Pipe Roll records “Robertus Corbet” in Shropshire[1772]. As this represents his earliest appearance in the Pipe Rolls, it is likely that he had recently attained his majority and taken control of his lands in his own name. It is unlikely therefore that Robert [III] was born later than [1158].

ROBERT [III] Corbet, son of SIMON Corbet & his wife --- (before [1158]-[22 Jul 1219/17 Oct 1222]). Eyton quotes (in translation) a charter dated 24 Jan 1190 under which King Richard I restored "to Robert Corbet…the forest of Tenefrestanes…as Roger patruus of the said Robert had held in the time of King Henry, the grantor’s father"[1773]. In a later section, Eyton provides details of a later source which confirms Robert’s parentage: in litigation with Herbert FitzPeter in 1236, Robert’s son Thomas alleged that his grandfather ("avus") had been seised of the manor of Pontesbury during the reign of King Henry II[1774]. The 1175/76 Pipe Roll records “Robertus Corbet” in Shropshire[1775]. As this represents his earliest appearance in the Pipe Rolls, it is likely that he had recently attained his majority and taken control of his lands in his own name. It is unlikely therefore that Robert [III] was born later than [1158]. The Red Book of the Exchequer, listing scutage payments in [1194/95], records "Robertus Cornet" paying "iv l xx s, i militem" in Shropshire[1776]. The Red Book of the Exchequer, listing scutage payments in [1196/97], records "Robertus Corbet" paying "c s, v milites" in Shropshire[1777]. The Red Book of the Exchequer records "Robertus Corbet" holding five knights’ fees in Shropshire in [1210/12][1778]. Henry III King of England ordered that "castrum de Caos", confiscated from "Robertus [Corbet]", be restored to him after "Thomas filius suus" swore homage to the king dated [Nov] 1217[1779]. Henry III King of England ordered "…Robertus Corbet vel Thomas filius suus…" to enquire into the state of the forests "de comitatu Salopie" dated [Jul] 1219[1780].

m ---. The name of Robert’s wife is not known.

Robert [III] & his wife four children:

1. THOMAS [I] Corbet (-before 2 Nov 1274). "…Thomas, Hugh and Robert the grantor’s sons…" witnessed an undated charter under which Robert Corbet donated tithes to Shrewsbury abbey[1781]. Henry III King of England ordered that "castrum de Caos", confiscated from "Robertus [Corbet]", be restored to him after "Thomas filius suus" swore homage to the king dated [Nov] 1217[1782]. Henry III King of England ordered "…Robertus Corbet vel Thomas filius suus…" to enquire into the state of the forests "de comitatu Salopie" dated [Jul] 1219[1783]. "Thomas Corbet, son and heir of Robert Corbet" made a fine for "his relief of the lands that Robert held of the king in chief" in Shropshire, dated 17 Oct 1222[1784]. "Thomas Corbet" was granted "the forest of Teynfrestanes", granted by King Richard to "Robert Corbet his father", dated 10 Jan 1236[1785]. A document dated 5 Jun 1249 records the settlement of a dispute between “Thomas Corbeth, claimant” and “Ralph de Valle Torta, deforciant” concerning “the manor of Syluerton, which manor William de Curtenay & Joan his wife held as the dower of Joan of the inheritance of the aforesaid Ralph on the day this agreement was made”, with the manor “[which] after Joan’s death ought to revert to Ralph & his heirs for ever, shall then remain to Thomas & his heirs quit of Ralph & his heirs for ever”[1786]. Thomas Corbet "son of Robert Corbet...Lord of Caures" donated the tenth of lead produced in Schelve Mine to Shrewsbury abbey by charter dated 24 Feb 1270[1787]. Inquisitions dated "Tuesday after St Luke 2 Edw I" following the death of "Thomas Corbeth" name “Peter his son is his next heir”[1788]. The chronology of his father’s life suggests that Thomas must have been well over 80 years old when he died. m ([1225/28]) as her second husband, ISABEL de Vautort, widow of ALAN [IV] de Dunstanville, daughter of ROGER [III] de Vautort & his wife Alice --- (-after 1 Jul 1241). Her parentage and second marriage are confirmed by inquisitions after a writ of certiorari dated 26 Jan 1277 ["4 Edw I"] relating to "the barony of Valletorta…", recording in Devon “…Cherleton…land…which Reginald de Valletorta gave to Thomas Corbet and Isabel his sister in free marriage…”[1789]. Her family origin and second marriage are also indicated by inquisitions after a writ of certiorari dated 26 Jan 1277 ["4 Edw I"] relating to "the barony of Valletorta, whereof Peter Corbet [Isabel’s son] and Henry de la Pomeroy [descended from Isabel’s sister Joanna, see above] are heirs…of the said barony, and of full age" which record disputed holdings in Devon[1790], and by inquisitions after a writ dated 24 Oct 1299 [“27 Edw I”] following the death of "Hawis late the wife of Reginald de Valle Torta" which name “Peter Corbet [Isabel’s grandson] aged 30 and more, and Henry de la Pomerey aged 32, are next heirs of the inheritance of the said Reginald”[1791]. Her first marriage is indicated by a charter dated 28 Apr 1241 which records a final settlement between "Willelmum de Englefeld querentem" [grandson of her first husband’s sister Emma] and "Alanum Basset impedientem" [son of his sister Cecily], under which the latter granted half a knight’s fee in Shiplake (Oxfordshire) to the former, in return for land in Tehidy (Cornwall) and other land in Cornwall "de hereditate que fuit Galfridi de Dunstanvill consanguiney predicti Willelmi" and land “que Isabella que fuit uxor Alani de Dunstanvill tenuit in eodem comitatu in dotem de dono predicti Alani” which should revert to William when Isabella died but would now instead pass to Alan[1792]. A charter dated 1 Jul 1241 records a final settlement between "Gilbertum de Basevil querentem" and "Alanum Bassat deforciantem" [both nephews of her first husband] relating to land in Bepton, Sussex and land in Cornwall "quam Isabella que fuit uxor predicti Alani de Dunstanvill tenet in dotem" which was inherited by Gilbert from "Alani de Dunstanvill avunculi predictorum Gilberti et Alani"[1793]. No record has been found which indicates when Isabel died. Thomas [I] & his wife had three children:

a) PIERS [I] Corbet (-1300 before 10 Aug). Inquisitions after a writ of certiorari dated 26 Jan 1277 ["4 Edw I"] relating to "the barony of Valletorta, whereof Peter Corbet and Henry de la Pomeroy are heirs…of the said barony, and of full age" record disputed holdings in Devon[1794]. A writ after the death of "Beatrice late the wife of Peter Corbet of Caus", dated "30 Aug 21 Edw III", names "Thomas Corbet…from whom issued Peter, Alice the elder daughter and Emma the younger", that "Peter" inherited, and after his death "Peter his son" who married "the aforesaid Beatrice" who devised the manor of Bynweston to "one John Corbet"[1795]. Inquisitions dated "Tuesday after St Luke 2 Edw I" following the death of "Thomas Corbeth" name “Peter his son is his next heir”[1796]. He was summoned to Parliament in 1295 whereby he is held to have become Lord Corbet.

The age of Piers Corbet in this document is puzzling: either it is an error or the document refers to Piers [II], in which case Piers [I] would have resigned the inheritance in favour of his son.] Inquisitions following a writ dated "10 Aug 28 Edw I", after the death of "Peter Corbet of Caus", name “Peter his son, aged 30 and more (is his next heir)”, name “Peter his son and heir and Beatrice his wife”, and also record that the deceased “had a firstborn son named Thomas, who by his father’s will espoused Joan daughter of Alan Plukenet and died without heir himself” and gave dower to her “at the feast of St. Martin 23 Edw I” after her husband died[1798]. m firstly (1253 or before) JOAN de Mortimer, daughter of RALPH [II] de Mortimer & his wife Gwladus of Wales. m secondly ALICE, daughter of --- (-after 1315).

iv) [ALICE Corbet . A manuscript relating to Ranton Priory, Staffordshire records that “Johanni de Harecourt” married secondly “Aliciam filiam domini Petri Corbet de Caus” after the death of his first wife[1806]. Both the chronology and her name suggest that Alice may have been born from her father’s second marriage.

m as her second husband, EMMA de Falaise, widow of WILLIAM FitzHumphrey, daughter of WILLIAM de Falaise of Stogursey & his wife Geva de Burcy (-after 1129). The primary source which confirms her family origin and marriage has not yet been identified. The 1130 Pipe Roll records "Emme de Falesia" in Wiltshire[1850].

William & his wife had two children:

1. WILLIAM [II] de Courcy (-before 1130). "Willelmi filius eius Willelmus…de Curceio" (following the donation by "Willelmus de Curceio regis dapifer") confirmed the donation of "villa…Niweham" to Abingdon monastery, with the consent of "fratris mei Roberti"[1851]. He is not named in the 1129 Pipe Roll so presumably was already deceased at the time. m ([1125]) as her first husband, AVICE de Rumilly, daughter of WILLIAM FitzRanulf du Bessin, of Skipton-in-Craven & his wife Cecily de Rumilly (-[1179]). “Amicia filia Cecilie de Rumilli” confirmed donations to the canons of St Mary, for the soul of “Willelmi de Curci filii mei”, by charter dated to [1138/50], witnessed by “Willelmo de Curci filio meo…”[1852]. An undated manuscript relating to Croxton Abbey, Leicestershire records that “Avicia de Romely domina de Bescaudeby” married ”Willielmum Paynel”, and had “filium Willielmum de Curci et filiam Aliciam”[1853]. She married secondly as his second wife, William Paynell of Drax. “Avicia de Romelli” notified her donation to the canons of Drax, for the soul of “Willelmi Paganelli mariti mei”, with the consent of “domini Roberti de Gant et Adelicie filie mee uxoris eiusdem Roberti”, by charter dated to [1147/52], witnessed by “Robertus de Gant et Adelicia Paganella uxor eius et Adelicia soror Roberti de Gant…”[1854].

William & his wife had one child:

a) WILLIAM [III] de Courcy (-1171). An undated manuscript relating to Croxton Abbey, Leicestershire records that “Avicia de Romely domina de Bescaudeby” married ”Willielmum Paynel”, and had “filium Willielmum de Curci et filiam Aliciam”[1856]. Military fee certifications in the Red Book of the Exchequer, in 1166, record the knights’ fees held by "Willelmi de Curcy dapiferi" in Somerset "quam avus suus et pater suus tenuerunt"[1857]. "…Willelmo de Curci dapifero…" witnessed the charter dated to [1165/89] under which Henry II King of England confirmed concessions made to Bayeux abbey[1858]. The Red Book of the Exchequer records enfeoffments in the duchy of Normandy in [1172], "Willelmus de Curseio" with five knights "de honore de Curceio" and 33 knights in his own service[1859]. m as her second husband, GUNDRED de Warenne, widow of PETER de Valognes, daughter of RAINALD de Warenne & his wife Alice de Wormgay (-before 6 Dec 1224). She married thirdly Geoffroy Hose. “Gundreda de Waren” claimed “ecclesiam de Newinham...advocationem” from the abbot of Abindon in 1194 through “in loco suo Gilone Hose”, while “Henr de Godham senescallus Warin fil Gerald” also claimed it as “hereditas uxoris domini sui”[1860]. "Gundreda que fuit uxor Gaufr Huse" paid a fine for "custodia Gaufr filii et heredis sui cum tota terra sua" in Wiltshire, dated 1199[1861]. An order dated 6 Dec 1224 required the confiscation of "the vill of Newnham that Gundrea de Warenne held in dower, which is an inheritance partible between Joan wife of Hugh de Neville, and Margaret wife of Falkes de Bréauté", with savings for "the executors of the testament of the same Gundrea"[1862]. William & his wife had three children:

i) WILLIAM [IV] de Courcy ([1163/64]-before Oct 1194). The Rotuli de Dominabus of 1185 records “Willelmus filius Willelmi de Curci…in custodia Domini Regis et per eum in custodia Roberti le Poher…xx annorum” and his land “Werefeld"[1863]. William must have died before his mother’s claim to the advocacy of the church of Nuneham (see above).

ii) ALICE de Courcy . Her family origin is confirmed by the undated charter under which her daughter “Margareta de Redeveris” donated revenue from "manerio meo de Newenham…unde eisdem teneor de testamento Aliciæ de Churci matris meæ" to Clerkenwell St Mary’s by undated charter[1864]. Her parentage is indicated more precisely by an order dated 6 Dec 1224 which required the confiscation of "the vill of Newnham that Gundrea de Warenne held in dower, which is an inheritance partible between Joan wife of Hugh de Neville, and Margaret wife of Falkes de Bréauté", with savings for "the executors of the testament of the same Gundrea"[1865]. "Aaliz de Curceio wife of Warin son of Gerold chamberlain of the king of England" confirmed donations to Marmoutier made by her father by charter dated to [1200][1866]. m WARIN FitzGerold, son of HENRY FitzGerold & his wife Matilda --- ([1167]-after 14 Nov 1216).

iii) [daughter . Farrer says that Joan was the daughter of Alice, daughter of William [III] de Curcy, by a first marriage to Henry de Cornhill, but he does not cite the primary source on which this information is based[1867]. m ---.] One child:

(a) JOAN (-after 6 Dec 1224). Her family origin is indicated by an order dated 6 Dec 1224 which required the confiscation of "the vill of Newnham that Gundrea de Warenne held in dower, which is an inheritance partible between Joan wife of Hugh de Neville, and Margaret wife of Falkes de Bréauté", with savings for "the executors of the testament of the same Gundrea"[1868]. It is not clear from this source whether Joan was the daughter or the granddaughter of the deceased. As the second heiress Margaret can be shown to be the granddaughter, it is possible that Joan was also a granddaughter, born from an older daughter. A further clue about her parentage is provided by the Testa de Nevill which includes a list of landholdings in the honour of Boulogne, dated to [1217/18], which includes "Rogerus filius Renfrey et Walterus Avenel et uxor Hugonis de Nevill" holding parts of "Gamegeya"[1869]. King John confirmed "unam feriam singulis annis apud Wakering" to "Hug de Nevill et Johe ux sue" by charter dated 30 Apr 1200[1870]. m HUGH Neville, son of --- (-after 1210).

"…Roberto de Curceio dapifero nostro, Ricardo de Haia…" are named as present in the charter dated to [1151/52] under which Henri Duke of Normandy confirmed rights of Bayeux abbey over "les terres de Carcagny et de Vouilly"[1875].

1. WILLIAM de Courcy (-1177). m --- de Laigle, daughter of RICHER de Laigle & his wife . Robert of Torigny refers to the wife of "Guillermus de Curceio" as "filia Richerii de Aquila" when recording his death in 1177[1876].

2. ROBERT de Courcy . m ---. The name of Robert’s wife is not known. Robert & his wife had one child:

a) RICHARD de Courcy . "Richard de Courcy chevalier, fils de Robert de Courcy" confirmed donations to the priory of Sainte-Barbe by his father, by undated charter[1877]. "…Robert et Richard de Courcy…" witnessed the undated charter under which "Guillaume de Montfort" ceded revenue to "Enguerrand de Campo-Rotondo et à Lucie sa femme"[1878]. m as her first husband, ALICE Paynell, daughter of WILLIAM Paynel de Drax & his second wife Avice de Rumilly. The primary source which confirms her first marriage has not yet been identified. She married secondly as his first wife, Robert de Gand. An undated manuscript relating to Croxton Abbey, Leicestershire records that “Aviciam de Romely…unicam filiam Aliciam” married ”Roberto de Ganth”[1879]. “Avicia de Romelli” notified her donation to the canons of Drax, for the soul of “Willelmi Paganelli mariti mei”, with the consent of “domini Roberti de Gant et Adelicie filie mee uxoris eiusdem Roberti”, by charter dated to [1147/52], witnessed by “Robertus de Gant et Adelicia Paganella uxor eius et Adelicia soror Roberti de Gant…”[1880]. “R de Gaunt” donated property to Bridlington convent, for the souls of “comitis Gilberti…et…Adeliz uxoris mee et Aviz filie mee” by charter dated to [1156/75][1881]. “Robertus de Gaunt et Aeliz Paganella uxor sua et Avicia filia eorum” donated property to the hospital of St John of Jerusalem by charter dated to [1166/77], witnessed by “…Henrico de Gaunt…”[1882].

CRASSUS

1. WILLIAM [I] Crassus (-after [1124/29]). "…William Crassus…" witnessed the charter dated to [1124/29] under which Henry I King of England notified a donation by “Symon son of Geoffrey de Bosvilla” to Caen Saint-Etienne[1888]. ["…Robertus regis filius, Rogerus Bacon, Gaufridus Wac, Willelmus Crassus…" witnessed the charter dated to [1135/47] under which “Herbertum Piscem” renounced rights in favour of Bayeux[1889]. It is not possible to determine whether this charter relates to William [I] or William [II], although the date spread of references to William Crassus during the period does suggest that they may relate to more than one person.]

2. WILLIAM [II] Crassus (-after [1155/57]). ["…Robertus regis filius, Rogerus Bacon, Gaufridus Wac, Willelmus Crassus…" witnessed the charter dated to [1135/47] under which “Herbertum Piscem” renounced rights in favour of Bayeux[1890]. "…Robertus regis filius, Rogerus Bacon, Gaufridus Wac, Willelmus Crassus…" witnessed the charter dated to [1135/47] under which “Herbertum Piscem” renounced rights in favour of Bayeux[1891]. Henri Duke of Normandy, Comte d’Anjou notified that "Willelmus Crassus" relinquished “terram de Ancariis” to the bishop of Bayeux by charter dated to [1152/54][1892]. Henry II King of England confirmed the property of the abbey of Saint-Martin de Troarn, including the donations of “duas partes decime de blado et canabe et lino, de feodo undecim vavassorum...” and “in Alteio” made by "Willelmi Crassi", by charter dated to [1155/57][1893].

[Three brothers:]

1. WILLIAM [III] Crassus (-[1204/14]). Lord of Chipping Sodbury: the 1167/68 Pipe Roll records that "Wills Cassus et Alwold ho eius" were pardoned a fine relating to “Magna Schobia” in Gloucestershire[1894]. "Guillaume Crassus" donated revenue from his mill at Cully to Saint-Jean-de-Falaise by charter dated 1178, witnessed by “Guillaume Crassus son fils aîné [et] Robert et Henri leurs [?] frères...”[1895]. King John granted revenue to "fideli nro W. Grasso señ", referring to “filios suos i maritagium”, dated 4 Dec 1203[1896]. Steward of Normandy. m ([1160/70]) [--- Marshall, daughter of JOHN Marshal & his second wife Sibyl of Salisbury ([1145/55]-)]. John Hunt states that “William le Gros” was married to “a sister of William Marshal I earl of Pembroke”, when recording the marriage contract of the couple’s daughter Margaret to “Ralph Somery” [Ralph [II] de Somery, see the document UNTITLED ENGLISH NOBILITY P-S], dated to before 1194, but he does not cite the primary source on which the information is based[1897]. A relationship between the Marshal and Crassus families is suggested by two sources. Firstly, William Marshal Earl of Pembroke, writing to King Henry III dated 5 Aug 1224, records that he had sent "dominum W. Grassum primogenitum consanguineum nostrum" with soldiers "ad Enoc-fergus in Ultonia" [Carrickfergus] which was besieged by "Hugonem de Lascy"[1898]. Secondly, the Annals of Worcester record the consecration in 1230 of “Anselmus nepos Marescalli...apud Cantuariam in episcopum Menevensem” [as bishop of St David’s][1899]. William [III] & his wife had six children:

a) WILLIAM [IV] Crassus primogenitus (-[1234/42]). "Guillaume Crassus" donated revenue from his mill at Cully to Saint-Jean-de-Falaise by charter dated 1178, witnessed by “Guillaume Crassus son fils aîné [et] Robert et Henri leurs [?] frères...”[1900]. “Willielmus Grassus primogenitus Willielmi Grassi” donated property “in villa de Wales quam dedi...Roberto le Gras fratri meo”, for the soul of “Roberti le Gras fratris mei”, with the consent of “Willielmi le Gras junioris et Hamonis Gras et Anselmi Gras thesaurarii Exoniensis fratrum meorum”, by undated charter, dated to [1205/30], witnessed by “domino Willielmo Marescallo comite Pembrokiæ, Willielmo Marescallo filio suo...”[1901]. “Willelmus Crassus primogenitus” granted to the burgesses of Chipping Sodbury the same privileges enjoyed by “ad legem de Brutoill” [Bristol] by charter dated to [1217/27], witnessed by “domino Willelmo Marescallo comite Penbroc, domino Willelmo de Mandavilla comite Essessie...domino Willelmo Crasso iuniore, domine Hamone Crasso...”[1902]. [Betrothed ? ([1219]) to HAWISE de London, daughter of THOMAS [II] de London & his wife Eva --- ([[1211/12?]-before 23 Sep 1273). An undated document [between documents dated 26 Dec 1219 and 30 Dec 1219] records that “Willus Crassus primogenitus” made a fine to King Henry for “habiendo in uxorem filiam et heredem Thome de Lond”, payment guaranteed by ten named subscribers[1903]. That undated document suggests that Hawise would marry William Crassus, although the next document mentions only his having her “maritagium”. Her betrothal with William Crassus is therefore uncertain. King Henry III notified the sheriff of Dorset and Somerset that “Willelmus Crassus” had made a fine for “habienda custodia terre q fuit Thome de London cum maritagio Hawisie filie et heredis ipsius Thome” and ordered him to transfer “eidem Willelmo omnibus terris...q fuerunt ipsius Thome in bailla tua plenariam saisinam”, dated 21 Jul 1220[1904].] m SIBYLLA, daughter of ---. The Close Rolls record the assignedment of dower to “Sibille que fuit uxor Willelmi Grassi primogeniti...que fuerunt predicti Willelmi in Sobbur”[1905].

b) WILLIAM [V] Crassus junior (-before 1242). “Willielmus Grassus primogenitus Willielmi Grassi” donated property “in villa de Wales quam dedi...Roberto le Gras fratri meo”, for the soul of “Roberti le Gras fratris mei”, with the consent of “Willielmi le Gras junioris et Hamonis Gras et Anselmi Gras thesaurarii Exoniensis fratrum meorum”, by undated charter, dated to [1205/30][1906]. “Willelmus Grassus filius Willelmi Grassi iunioris” confirmed the grant of privileges to the burgesses of Chipping Sodbury made by “Willelmus Grassus primogenitus avunculus noster” by charter dated to [1242/70], witnessed by “...Willelmo Grasso iuniore...”[1907]. William [V] & his wife had one child:

i) WILLIAM [VI] Crassus . The Testa de Nevill records "Willelmus le Gras et Elias Cotele...plene etatis et non sunt adhuc milites" holding “vill de Sobbyr...feodum” in 1247[1908]. “Willelmus Grassus filius Willelmi Grassi iunioris” confirmed the grant of privileges to the burgesses of Chipping Sodbury made by “Willelmus Grassus primogenitus avunculus noster” by charter dated to [1242/70], witnessed by “...Willelmo Grasso iuniore...”[1909].

c) ROBERT Crassus . “Willielmus Grassus primogenitus Willielmi Grassi” donated property “in villa de Wales quam dedi...Roberto le Gras fratri meo”, for the soul of “Roberti le Gras fratris mei”, with the consent of “Willielmi le Gras junioris et Hamonis Gras et Anselmi Gras thesaurarii Exoniensis fratrum meorum”, by undated charter, dated to [1205/30][1910].

d) MARGARET Crassus (-after 14 Jun 1247). Her parentage and first marriage are confirmed by a charter [dated to before 1194] under which “William le Gros” gave land at Little Dalby to “Ralph Somery” as part of the marriage contract for his daughter Margaret[1911]. Her second marriage is indicated by two sources relating to Staffordshire, where Ralph [II] de Somery had been granted land by King John (see above). Firstly, King Henry III ordered the sheriff of Staffordshire to permit “Maurice de Gant” to collect scutage from knights’ fees he holds in his bailiwick of the land “he holds in dower of Margaret his wife”, dated [Sep] 1224[1912]. Secondly, the Assize Rolls for 1228 record that eight persons were summoned to show cause why they intruded into “a carucate of land which Alan de Englefeld held, the custody of whose lands after his death belonged to Maurice de Gant and Margaret his wife...the land formed part of the dower of Margaret”[1913]. Alan de Englefield was Margaret’s son-in-law (see below). Several other sources have been identified which name Margaret, none of which makes the connection between Ralph de Somery and Maurice de Gant. Three of these sources clearly refer to the widow of Ralph de Somery: (1) “Roger de Sumeri” confirmed an agreement between “Margaret his mother” and “William de Englefeld” [his nephew, son of his sister Isabel] concerning a grant and exchange of lands “at Bradfield”, Berkshire[1914], undated, but presumably dateable to after Roger’succession to the family estates following the death of his nephew Nicholas (before 4 Jul 1229); (2) and (3) two sets of entries in the Testa de Nevill, Berkshire fees in [1235/36] which include " i.m de i. feodo in Englefeud de feodo de Sumeri et...quarta parte unius feodi Nicholai le Butiler de eodem honore [=honore de Walingeford?] et i.m de i. feodo Margerie de Sumery in Cumton Beucamp de eodem honore et i.m. de i. feodo eiusdem Margerie in Idesleg...et...in Adecote...Watindeden...Stanford...Yngelpenne de eodem honore"[1915], and Berkshire fees in [1242/43] which name "Rogerus de Sumery in Bradefeld i. feodum...Margareta de Sumeri in Bradefeld unum feodum predicti Rogeri...Willelmus de Englefeld in Englefeld unum feodum de eodem feodo"[1916]. Two further sources clearly refer to the wife of Maurice de Gant: firstly, Henry III King of England ordered the sheriff of Somerset, notwithstanding the order of seisin in favour of "Walter de Everm", to give seisin of "maneriis de Cantokesheved et de Hivis [Quantockshead and Huish]...que fuerunt Mauricii de Gant quondam viri sui" to "Margarete de Sumery" as dower, by order dated 1231[1917], and secondly “Margaret de Somery” reached agreement with “Henry de Gaunt rector of the almonry of St Mark’s Hospital, Billeswick” on the tithes of the mill of East Quantoxhead, Somerset and other matters by charter dated 14 Jun 1247[1918]. Two more sources are inconclusive: the Plea Rolls for 1233 include a claim in Oxfordshire by “John de Beauchamp” against “Margery de Sumery, in a plea of land and wardship”[1919], and an undated order, in 1237, records “Assizes taken...in...Worcestershire” from “Margaret de Somery”[1920]. Thomas Stapleton made a detailed study of the life of Maurice de Gant in the mid-19th century but all the sources to which he refers are inconclusive regarding the parentage of Maurice de Gant’s second wife[1921]. It is somewhat surprising that Maurice would have married the widow of Ralph [II] de Somery who, although she had proven her child-bearing capacity, must have been nearly 40 years old by [1220]. Stapleton dates the Margaret de Somery/Maurice de Gant marriage to “prior to the fifth year of Henry III [Nov 1220/Nov 1221] when Maurice de Gaunt paid scutage of Byham for the manor of Bradfield in Berkshire to Percival de Sumery”[1922]. m firstly (before 1194) RALPH [II] de Somery of Dudley, Worcestershire, son of JOHN de Somery & his wife Hawise Paynell (-[Jan/Jul] 1210). m secondly ([1220/21]) as his second wife, MAURICE de Gant, son of ROBERT “Juvenis” de Berkeley & his wife Avice de Gand (-1230).

e) HAMON Crassus . “Willielmus Grassus primogenitus Willielmi Grassi” donated property “in villa de Wales quam dedi...Roberto le Gras fratri meo”, for the soul of “Roberti le Gras fratris mei”, with the consent of “Willielmi le Gras junioris et Hamonis Gras et Anselmi Gras thesaurarii Exoniensis fratrum meorum”, by undated charter, dated to [1205/30][1923].

f) ANSELM Crassus (-1247). Treasurer of Exeter cathedral [1205]. “Willielmus Grassus primogenitus Willielmi Grassi” donated property “in villa de Wales quam dedi...Roberto le Gras fratri meo”, for the soul of “Roberti le Gras fratris mei”, with the consent of “Willielmi le Gras junioris et Hamonis Gras et Anselmi Gras thesaurarii Exoniensis fratrum meorum”, by undated charter, dated to [1205/30][1924]. Bishop of St David’s 1230. The Annals of Worcester record the consecration in 1230 of “Anselmus nepos Marescalli...apud Cantuariam in episcopum Menevensem” [as bishop of St David’s][1925]. Matthew Paris records the death in 1247 of "episcopus Menevensis...frater de ordine Minorum"[1926].

2. [ROBERT (-after 1178). "Guillaume Crassus" donated revenue from his mill at Cully to Saint-Jean-de-Falaise by charter dated 1178, witnessed by “Guillaume Crassus son fils aîné [et] Robert et Henri leurs [?] frères...”[1927]. The precise relationship between the donor and the last two witnesses is uncertain because of the use of “leurs” out of context in this extract. Because of this uncertain language, Robert and Henry could have been brothers of either Guillaume [III] or of Guillaume [IV].]

3. [HENRI (-after 1178). "Guillaume Crassus" donated revenue from his mill at Cully to Saint-Jean-de-Falaise by charter dated 1178, witnessed by “Guillaume Crassus son fils aîné [et] Robert et Henri leurs [?] frères...”[1928]. The precise relationship between the donor and the last two witnesses is uncertain because of the use of “leurs” out of context in this extract. Because of this uncertain language, Robert and Henry could have been brothers of either Guillaume [III] or of Guillaume [IV].]

CRISPIN

The history of Gilbert Crispin abbot of Westminster and his family was studied by J. Armitage Robinson, Dean of Westminster, in the early 20th century[1929]. The relationships shown in this chapter are based on a manuscript history, probably written by Miles Crispin in the early 12th century, which is reproduced in the Recueil des Historiens des Gaules et de la France (there entitled "De nobili genere Crispinorum") and parts of which are also quoted by Dean Robinson[1930]. According to Richemond, Gilbert [I] was “Gilbert de Brionne seigneur du Bec, qui aida le moine Hellouin à fonder l’abbaye du Bec en 1035”[1931], but it is difficult to see how this suggested co-identity can be correct.

1. GILBERT [I] "Crispin" . A manuscript history of the Crispin family, probably written by Miles Crispin, records that the first family member was "Gislebertus" who was the first named "Crispini" because of his erect hair[1932]. Guillaume II Duke of Normandy confirmed the donation of “ecclesias...in maris Constantini pagi...” made by “Roberto...Hunfredi...filio” to Saint-Wandrille by charter dated to [1035/53], subscribed by “Roberti filii Hunfredi, Rogeri fratris eius, Anscetilli, Willelmi filii Ricardi secundi Normannorum ducis, Rogerii filii Radulfi de Warethna, Rogerii filii Ragnulfi, Gilleberti Crispin, Willelmi Guiet”[1933].m GUNNORA, daughter of BALDRIC & his wife ---. The De nobili genere Crispinorum records that "Gislebertus…Crispini cognomen" married "senioris Fulconis de Alnou germanam…Gonnorem"[1934]. The identity of her father is confirmed by Orderic Vitalis who names "…Fulco de Alnou…" as one of the sons of Baldric[1935]. Gilbert [I] & his wife had five children:

a) GILBERT [II] Crispin (-after [1047]). The De nobili genere Crispinorum names "Gislebertum, [Willelmum]…et Robertum" as the three sons of "Gislebertus…Crispini cognomen" and his wife, adding that Gilbert was granted the hereditary custodianship of "castrum Tegularias" [Tillières] by the duke of Normandy[1936]. Guillaume of Jumièges states that Robert II Duke of Normandy granted “Tegulense castrum” to “Gislebertus...cognomento Crispinus” when recording that Henri I King of France besieged and captured the castle, dated to early during the reign of Duke Guillaume II from the context[1937]. "…Gisleberti Crispini, fratris eius Guillelmi…" witnessed the charter dated to [1047 or before] under which Guillaume II Duke of Normandy confirmed the donation by "Adelelmi…Beatricis uxor eius…Rotberti filius eius" to the abbey of Mont-Saint-Michel[1938]. m ---. The name of Gilbert’s wife is not known. Gilbert [II] & his wife had one child:

i) GILBERT [III] Crispin (-after 1091). The primary source which confirms his parentage has not yet been identified. "…Gibert Crispin…" witnessed the charter dated 1082 under which William I King of England donated property to the abbey of la Trinité de Caen[1939]. "…Rotberti de Belmont, Rodulfi de Bec, Willelmi filii Girardi, Rogerii fratris Rodulfi, Gisleberti Crispini, Rotberti filii Alvuardi, Rotberti Marmion, Rodulfi Taisson, Rotberti Herneis, Ricardi de Baiocas…" witnessed the donation of "decimam Ansfredi Villæ" to Sainte-Trinité de Rouen by "Gernagois et Albereda uxor eius, cum filiis suis Willelmo et Rotberto" by charter dated 1091[1940].

b) GUILLAUME [I] Crispin (-Bec 8 Jan 1074, bur Bec abbey). The De nobili genere Crispinorum names "Gislebertum, [Willelmum]…et Robertum" as the three sons of "Gislebertus…Crispini cognomen" and his wife, adding that Guillaume II Duke of Normandy placed him "in castro Melfia" to defend against French incursions and granted him "Vilcassini vicecomitatum…in Lexoviensi pago"[1941]. Keeper of the castle of Neaufles[1942]. "…Gisleberti Crispini, fratris eius Guillelmi…" witnessed the charter dated to [1047 or before] under which Guillaume II Duke of Normandy confirmed the donation by "Adelelmi…Beatricis uxor eius…Rotberti filius eius" to the abbey of Mont-Saint-Michel[1943]. The Chronique de Normandie, based on le Roman de Rou, names "Guillaume Crespin" among those who took part in the conquest of England in 1066[1944]. The necrology of Beaumont-le-Roger records the death "VI Id Jan" of "Will. Crispinus monachus nostræ congregationis", and the year ascertained from the Nomina Monachorum[1945]. “Gosselinus Crispinus...cum Guillelmo filio meo adhuc parvo” confirmed donations to Bec, including the donation of “ecclesias de Livarrot et de Blangeyo” made by “Guillelmi Crispini”, of land “in Blangeyo” by “Evæ uxoris ipsius”, by charter dated 1155[1946]. m EVA, daughter of --- (-23 Jan [1099/1100], bur Bec abbey). The De nobili genere Crispinorum records that "Willelmus Crispinus" married "Evam…de gente Francorum"[1947]. Her possible affiliation as Eva, daughter of Amaury [III] Seigneur de Montfort l’Amaury & his wife Bertrade --- is explained in The Complete Peerage[1948]. “Gosselinus Crispinus...cum Guillelmo filio meo adhuc parvo” confirmed donations to Bec, including the donation of “ecclesias de Livarrot et de Blangeyo” made by “Guillelmi Crispini”, of land “in Blangeyo” by “Evæ uxoris ipsius”, by charter dated 1155[1949]. The Chronicon Beccensis Abbatiæ records that "tempore S. Anselmi abbatis Becci tres matronæ nobiles…Basilia uxor Hugonis de Gornaco, et Amfrida neptis ipsius Basiliæ, et Eva uxor Guillelmi Crispini" entered Bec and lived at the abbey, adding that they died on three consecutive Sundays "Amfrida Basiliæ neptis...minor...ætate, virgo…IV Non Jan, qua sepulta…Basilia domina eius…XVII Kal Feb…tertia Eva…X Kal Feb...post mortem...viri sui Guillermi Crispini...Beccique usque ad finem vitæ...perseuerauit"[1950]. Gurney dates the passage to [1099/1100][1951]. Guillaume [I] & his wife had children:

i) GUILLAUME [II] Crispin (-after 1112). "…Willelmi Crispini…" witnessed a charter dated to [1077] under which William I King of England granted property to the abbey of Saint-Etienne de Caen[1952]. "…William Crispin…" witnessed the charter dated 5 Sep 1082 which records the settlement of a claim by the abbey of Saint-Wandrille about "Oxcessus"[1953]. "…Willelmus Crispin…" witnessed the charter dated 1089 under which Robert III Duke of Normandy confirmed the restoration of the monastery of Saint-Vigor near Bayeux[1954]. Eadmer names "Willelmum Crispinum" among those captured by Henry I King of England at the battle of Tinchebrai in 1106[1955]. ["Guillaume Crespin" donated property to the abbey of Saint-André-en-Gouffern by undated charter[1956]. It is not known to which of the three Guillaume Crespin this relates.] “Gosselinus Crispinus...cum Guillelmo filio meo adhuc parvo” confirmed donations to Bec, including the donation of “decimam molendini et dominii sui de Mesnillo Hilbi” by “Guillelmi Crispini filii dicti Guillelmi et Evæ”, of “dimidium molendini in Bernayo et L. solidos in molendino de Strepigneio” by “Agnetis uxoris eiusdem Guillelmi”, by charter dated 1155[1957]. m AGNES, daughter of [--- d’Etrépagny & his wife ---]. The primary source which confirms her parentage has not been identified. Her connection with Etrepagny is suggested by the following document: “Gosselinus Crispinus...cum Guillelmo filio meo adhuc parvo” confirmed donations to Bec, including the donation of “decimam molendini et dominii sui de Mesnillo Hilbi” by “Guillelmi Crispini filii dicti Guillelmi et Evæ”, of “dimidium molendini in Bernayo et L. solidos in molendino de Strepigneio” by “Agnetis uxoris eiusdem Guillelmi”, by charter dated 1155[1958]. A possible reference to an Etrepagny family occurs in the following document, although the dating is uncertain: “Richardus filius Godefridi de Strepegneia” donated property to Mortemer for the souls of his parents, undated[1959]. Etrepagny was one of the properties held later by the Bec-Crespin family in Normandy (see the document NORMANDY NOBILITY-ARQUES, AUMÂLE, CAUX), suggesting that it was inherited following an earlier marriage. Guillaume [II] & his wife had one child:

(a) GUILLAUME [III] Crispin (-after 1135, bur Bec abbey). “Gosselinus Crispinus...cum Guillelmo filio meo adhuc parvo” confirmed donations to Bec, including the donation of land “in Falco” by “Guillelmi Crispini filii dicti Guillelmi et Agnetis”, by charter dated 1155[1960]. The De nobili genere Crispinorum records that "nepos de filio Willelmo, tertius Willelmus Crispinus" was "sanguinis propinquitate…comiti Andegavorum" and that he fought for them, was captured, died following his release when preparing a journey to Jerusalem, and was buried at Bec[1961]. Robinson identifies the battle in which Guillaume [III] was captured as the one fought by Geoffroy Plantagenet Comte d’Anjou against Robert de Sablé in 1135[1962].

ii) GILBERT Crispin ([1045/55]-6 Dec [1117]). The De nobili genere Crispinorum names "Gislebertum, West-monasterii abbatem, et alios plures" as the children of "Willelmus Crispinus" and his wife[1963]. Abbot of Westminster [1083][1964].

c) ROBERT Crispin (-Constantinople ----). The De nobili genere Crispinorum names "Gislebertum, [Willelmum]…et Robertum" as the three sons of "Gislebertus…Crispini cognomen" and his wife, adding that Robert left for Constantinople where he served the emperor and died "invidia Græcorum veneno"[1965].

d) EMMA . The De nobili genere Crispinorum names "Emmam, Petri de Condeto genetricem, atque Esiliam, matrem Willelmi Malet" as the two daughters of "Gislebertus…Crispini cognomen" and his wife[1966]. m ---. One child:

i) PIERRE de Condé .

e) [ESILIA . The De nobili genere Crispinorum names "Emmam, Petri de Condeto genetricem, atque Esiliam, matrem Willelmi Malet" as the two daughters of "Gislebertus…Crispini cognomen" and his wife[1967]. However, the wife of William Malet is recorded in a later primary source with the same name so it is possible that the manuscript confuses his mother and his wife. Either m --- [Malet], son of ---, or m GUILLAUME Malet, son of --- (-before 1086).]

The relationship if any between Joscelin Crispin, probable ancestor of the later Seigneurs de Bec-Crespin, and the Crispin family in England has not been ascertained. His 1155 charter, quoted below, confirming donations to Bec made by Guillaume [I], Guillaume [II], their respective wives, and Guillaume [III], suggests that he was at that time the senior male representative of the family in Normandy. Three different possibilities suggest themselves:

(1) Joscelin was the son of Guillaume [III] Crespin, whose mother was Agnes [d’Etrépagny], one of the properties held by the Bec-Crespin family as shown below. In this case, the absence of any reference in the document to the relationship between Joscelin and Guillaume would be surprising.

(2) He was descended from a younger son of Guillaume [I], whose older sons left no surviving descendants. The document specifies no family connection in this case either, but maybe this is less surprising the more remote the connection. However, this possibility does not explain the family’s later connection with Etrepagny, assuming that the suggested family origin of Guillaume [III]’s mother is correct, as the property would presumably have reverted to another of her family members if her own descendants failed.

(3) He was connected with the earlier Crispin family through the female line, having inherited the Normandy properties on condition that he adopted the family name.

1. JOSCELIN Crispin (-after [1180]). “Gosselinus Crispinus...cum Guillelmo filio meo adhuc parvo” confirmed donations to Bec, including the donation of “ecclesias de Livarrot et de Blangeyo” made by “Guillelmi Crispini”, of land “in Blangeyo” by “Evæ uxoris ipsius”, of “decimam molendini et dominii sui de Mesnillo Hilbi” by “Guillelmi Crispini filii dicti Guillelmi et Evæ”, of “dimidium molendini in Bernayo et L. solidos in molendino de Strepigneio” by “Agnetis uxoris eiusdem Guillelmi”, of land “in Falco” by “Guillelmi Crispini filii dicti Guillelmi et Agnetis”, by charter dated 1155[1968].

- SEIGNEURS de BEC-CRESPIN.

1. FULK Crispin (-after 27 Jan 1091). "…Folco Crespin" witnessed the charter dated 27 Jan 1091 under which William II King of England confirmed the status of Bath abbey[1969].

1. MILES Crispin [of Wallingford] (-1107). Robinson suggests that Milo Crispin was the son of Gilbert [II] de Crispin (see above)[1970]. From a chronological point of view, this appears to be possible. Lord of Wallingford, Berkshire, de iure uxoris. The Chronicle of Abingdon names "Milone de Walingaford cognomento Crispin" among those who accompanied Henry, son of William I King of England, to Abingdon monastery to celebrate Easter 1084[1971]. "…Michael de Tona…Milonis Crispini…" witnessed the charter dated to [1080/86] under which William I King of England donated property in Norfolk to Lewes priory, for the souls of “…Gulielmi de Warenna et uxoris suæ Gundfredæ filiæ meæ”[1972]. Domesday Book records land held by “Miles Crispin” in Beddington in Wallington Hundred and Chessington in Kingston Hundred, Surrey, in Berkshire including Pangbourne in Reading Hundred and Clapcot in Slotisford Hundred, numerous holdings in Wiltshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire[1973]. "…Milo Crispin…" witnessed the undated charter under which William II King of England gave instructions relating to the manor of Staines held by the abbot of Westminster[1974]. "Milo Crispin…et uxor eius Matildis" donated land "apud Colebroc" to Abingdon monastery by charter dated to [1107][1975]. m ([before Easter 1084]) [as her first husband,] MATILDA de Oilly, daughter of ROBERT de Oilly & his wife ---. "Milo Crispin…et uxor eius Matildis" donated land "apud Colebroc" to Abingdon monastery by charter dated to [1107][1976]. The dating of her marriage is established by the Chronicle of Abingdon which names "Milone de Walingaford cognomento Crispin" among those who accompanied Henry, son of William I King of England, to Abingdon monastery to celebrate Easter 1084[1977]. The Testa de Nevill includes a writ of King John dated 1212 which records that "Roberto Doilli…filiam Mathillidem" inherited the honour of Wallingford in Berkshire and married "Milo Crispinus", and after his death "Briennio filio comitis", adding that the latter had no heirs by her[1978]. If this is correct, she may have married secondly Brien FitzCount. According to the Complete Peerage, the inquisition in the Testa de Nevill, which supposedly confirms her second marriage, is "of too late a date to be implicitly relied on"[1979]. According to Domesday Descendants[1980], Brien’s wife was the daughter of Miles Crespin and his wife Matilda de Oilly (see below). "Milo Crispin…et uxor eius Matildis" donated land "apud Colebroc" to Abingdon monastery by charter dated to [1107][1981]. Empress Matilda permitted "Milon com Heref" to hold the castle and honour of Abergavenny, from "Bri fil com et Matild de Walengeford uxor sue" by charter dated [Jul 1141/Dec 1142][1982]. The Testa de Nevill includes a writ of King John dated 1212 which records that "Briennius et…Mathillis uxor eius" retired to monasteries ("reddiderunt se religioni") during the reign of King Stephen and that Henri Duke of Normandy, son of Empress Matilda, acquired the honour of Wallingford[1983]. Miles & his wife had [two] children:

a) HUGH . "…Gilleberti Pipard, Radulfi Foliot, Hugonis filii Milonis" witnessed an undated charter, dated to the reign of King Henry I, under which "Ricardi filium…Hugonem" confirmed the donation by "Ricardus filius Reinfredi" of land at "Brochestan" to Abingdon monastery[1984].

b) [MATILDA (-after [1150]). Lady of Wallingford, Berkshire. According to Domesday Descendants[1985], Brien’s wife was the daughter of Miles Crespin and his wife Matilda de Oilly. As noted above, the Testa de Nevill includes a writ of King John dated 1212 which records that "Roberto Doilli…filiam Mathillidem" inherited the honour of Wallingford in Berkshire and married "Milo Crispinus", and after his death "Briennio filio comitis", adding that the latter had no heirs by her[1986]. According to the Complete Peerage, the inquisition in the Testa de Nevill, which supposedly confirms her second marriage, is "of too late a date to be implicitly relied on"[1987]. In any case, from a chronological point of view, its version of events is extremely improbable: Matilda’s marriage to Milo Crispin is estimated to before Easter 1084 (based on the Chronicle of Abingdon names "Milone de Walingaford cognomento Crispin" among those who accompanied Henry, son of William I King of England, to Abingdon monastery to celebrate Easter 1084[1988]), while her supposed second husband Brien FitzCount was raised by Henry I King of England[1989], presumably indicating his date of birth in the early years of the 12th century. However, the primary sources confirm that Brien’s wife held the honour of Wallingford. The suggestion by Domesday Descendants appears therefore to answer all the possible difficulties. m BRIEN FitzCount, [illegitimate son of ALAIN IV Duke of Brittany & his mistress ---] (-[1090/1100]-after [1141/42].]
