DAMMARTIN

 

 

The parentage of Eudes [I], the earliest recorded member of the Dammartin families in England, is not known.  According to Domesday Descendants, he was the son of Hugues [I] Comte de Dammartin[1], but it is unclear whether this suggestion is based on a specific source.  Another possibility is that Eudes was a knight who took his name from the castle of Dammartin but was either unrelated, or related only distantly, to the comital family.  The name Manassès, used by the main English Dammartin family, was associated with the earlier comital family in France, but it would be unsafe to draw any firm conclusions about a family relationship based on this single onomastic connection.  A further difficulty is introduced by an undated charter, quoted below, which was witnessed by numerous Dammartin individuals.  The original of this charter has not been seen, but Evans indicated that the document “could not be [dated] later than 1135”[2].  The basis for this assessment is not known.  If it is correct, all the named individuals could not have been descended from Eudes [I], which would indicate that other Dammartin individuals accompanied him to England.  However, the document would make more sense if dated to the 1170s, in which case it would be chronologically feasible for Eudes [I] to have been the ancestor of all the witnesses. 

 

 

EUDES [I] de Dammartin, son of --- (-before [1129/30])"...Odo de Domino Martino..." witnessed the charter dated 1113 which records that "Rohes", wife of Richard son of Earl Gilbert, donated property to Bec Sainte-Marie and St. Neot of Eynulfisbury[3].  Ralph Archbishop of Canterbury confirmed the possessions of Lewes priory by charter dated 1121, including property "in episcopatu Wintoniensi...ecclesia de Gatetuna" donated by "Herfredus et...Oddo de Donmartini et ecclesia de Suthwerca"[4].  It is unclear from the full text of this document whether it was the same property jointly owned by the two donors which was donated, or whether the two individuals were unconnected.  [Lord of Mendlesham, Suffolk: the Testa de Nevill includes a writ of King John dated 1212 which records that King Henry I granted "Mendlesh" in Suffolk to "Odoni de Danmartin" and that it was then held by "Roberto…de Burgate…cum uxore sua heredi Willelmi de Danmartin"[5].  It is more likely that “Odoni de Danmartin” in this document was Eudes [I] than Eudes [II] as the property in question passed to descendants of Manasses, son of Eudes [I], not to Eudes [II] and his descendants.] 

m BASILIA, daughter of --- (-after [1129/30]).  The 1130 Pipe Roll records "Basilia uxor Odon de Domartino…arg. dote sua" in Norfolk[6].  There is no proof that she was the mother of all the children of Eudes [I].  The daughter of Eudes [I]’s son Stephen was named Basilia, which suggests that she was the mother at least of some of Eudes’s younger children. 

Eudes [I] & [his wife] had [seven] children: 

1.         EUDES [II] de Dammartin (before [1110]-after 1154).  The 1130 Pipe Roll records "Odo fil Odon de Domartino" in Suffolk (precise place not specified)[7].  As Eudes held the property in his own name, it is unlikely that he was born later than [1110].  He is the only one of the sons of Eudes [I] who is recorded in this Pipe Roll, which suggests that he was his father’s oldest son.  An undated charter records that Simon Earl of Northampton and Huntingdon enfeoffed “Odonis de Domnomartino” with “terram de Bogeton...et Wrastingewerd et terram de Bechansted” [Buckden (Huntingdonshire), Wrestlingworth (Bedfordshire), Beachamstead (Huntingdonshire)], dated to [1152/53][8].  His death during the early years of the reign of King Henry II is confirmed by the Red Book of the Exchequer which, in 1166, records that [his son] "Odonis de Danmartino" certified that “pater meus” had held one knight’s fee in Norfolk [unspecified] from “avo vestro [King Henry I] et de vobis [King Henry II]”, which “Odonis” currently held from King Henry II[9].  In this entry it is likely that “pater meus” refers to Eudes [II] as he is the only known son of Eudes [I] who was deceased at the time.  m ---.  The name of Eudes’s wife is not known.  Eudes [II] & his wife had one child: 

a)         EUDES [III] de Dammartin (-after [1168], maybe after [1196/97]).  His succession to the lands of his father (who is assumed to have been Eudes [II], although this is not specified in the document) is confirmed by the Red Book of the Exchequer which, in 1166, records that "Odonis de Danmartino" certified that “pater meus” had held one knight’s fee in Norfolk [unspecified] from “avo vestro [King Henry I] et de vobis [King Henry II]”, which “Odonis” currently held from King Henry II[10].  “Odo de Dan Martin son of Odo de Dan Martin” donated “land in Chertehamme which is of my fee of Tunrugge and...in Chepstede...[and] of Mecheleham” to Lewes St. Pancras, “as the charter of my uncle [maybe William, see below] and my father Odo which they hold”, by undated charter[11].  The 1167/68 Pipe Roll records "Manaser de Damartin, Albic de Damartin...Odo de Damartin" each returning for one knight’s fee in Norfolk and Suffolk[12].  Eudes’s name appears in this record in a separate section from Manassès and Aubry.  The Red Book of the Exchequer refers to "Odo de Danmartin i m" in Norfolk, Suffolk in [1167/68][13].  The 1176/77 Pipe Roll names "Odone de Dammartin" in Norfolk and Suffolk[14].  The Red Book of the Exchequer refers to "Odo de Danmartin xx s, comes Albericus de Danmartin xx s, et in perdone xx s" in Norfolk, Suffolk in [1186/87][15].  The 1186/87 Pipe Roll names "Odo de Dammartin, Comes Albericus de Dammartin" in adjacent entries in Norfolk and Suffolk, and in Surrey “Odo de Dammartin...pro habenda custodia filii et terre Hugonis Pinc[16].  The Red Book of the Exchequer, listing scutage payments in [1190/91], records "Odo de Danmartin" paying "xs, i militem" in Norfolk, Suffolk[17].  The Red Book of the Exchequer, listing scutage payments in [1194/95], records that "Odo de Danmartin" paid "xx s, i militem" in Norfolk, Suffolk[18].  The Red Book of the Exchequer, listing scutage payments in [1196/97], records "Odo de Danmartin" paying "xx s" in Norfolk, Suffolk[19].  Lord of Strumshaw[20]

2.         MANASSES de Dammartin (-[1178/79]).  The Red Book of the Exchequer, in 1166, records that "Manasseri de Danmartin" held one knight’s fee in Suffolk [maybe referring to Mendlesham, although this is not specified] after his father died, during the reign of King Henry I, which he had “in tempore guerræ” (i.e. during the civil war) granted to "Galtero de Gornaco" and which was now (in 1166) held by “Willelmus filius suus[21].  His parentage is confirmed by an undated charter, dated to [1156/78], for Bury St. Edmund’s under Abbot Hugh, witnessed by “Manasses de Dammartin et Albricus frater eius et Alanus[22].  It is not clear from this extract whether “Alanus” was another brother of Manassès and Aubrey.  The order of the witness names suggests that Manassès was older than his brother Aubrey.  ["Aubri comes Dommartini" granted Norton, Suffolk to “William de Donomart” by undated charter, witnessed by Manassès de Dammartin, Bartholomew de Dammartin, Hamo de Dammartin and William his brother, Alan de Dammartin, Walter de Dammartin, Matthew de Dammartin, William the bastard, Gilbert de Dammartin and Roger his brother, and Philip de Dammartin[23].  Evans indicated that this document “could not be [dated] later than 1135”.  However, this charter (as reported: the complete document has not been seen) is confused: the title “comes” accorded to the grantor is anachronistic and the witnesses are more consistent with a later date.  Maybe the document is a later conflation of earlier charters.]  The 1160/61 Pipe Roll names (in order) "Maness de Damartin, Wills de Dammartin, Albr de Dammartin" in Norfolk/Suffolk[24].  “Manassès de Dammartin, avec son épouse Galienne et ses fils Barthélemy, Eudes, Haimon, Guillaume et d’autres” donated property to Missenden by charter dated to before 1161[25].  The Red Book of the Exchequer refers to "Manasserus de Danmartin i m" in Yorkshire in [1161/62][26].  Military fee certifications in the Red Book of the Exchequer, in 1166, name "Manasser de Danmartin, iii milites" among those providing knights for military service with "Walteri de Meduana" in Kent[27].  The 1167/68 Pipe Roll records "Manaser de Damartin, Albic de Damartin...Odo de Damartin" each returning for one knight’s fee in Norfolk and Suffolk[28].  The Red Book of the Exchequer refers to "Manasser de Danmartin i m" in Norfolk, Suffolk in [1167/68][29].  He granted land to his nephew Manassès in [1168][30].  The Red Book of the Exchequer refers to "Albericus de Danmartin xx s, Manasser de Danmartin xx s" in Norfolk, Suffolk in [1171/72][31].  The 1177/78 Pipe Roll names "Manesero de Dammartin" in Essex and Hertfordshire[32].  The 1176/77 Pipe Roll names "Maneserus de Dammartin" in Essex and Hertfordshire[33]m GALIENA, daughter of ---.   “Manassès de Dammartin, avec son épouse Galienne et ses fils Barthélemy, Eudes, Haimon, Guillaume et d’autres” donated property to Missenden by charter dated to before 1161[34].  Richard I King of England confirmed a donation to Stratford-at-Bow by “Galienæ et filii eius Bartholomei de Daumartin” by charter dated 9 Oct 1189[35].  Manassès & his wife had [six or more] children: 

a)         BARTHOLOMEW de Dammartin (-before 1194).  “Manassès de Dammartin, avec son épouse Galienne et ses fils Barthélemy, Eudes, Haimon, Guillaume et d’autres” donated property to Missenden by charter dated to before 1161[36].  ["Aubri comes Dommartini" granted Norton, Suffolk to “William de Donomart” by undated charter, witnessed by Manassès de Dammartin, Bartholomew de Dammartin, Hamo de Dammartin and William his brother, Alan de Dammartin, Walter de Dammartin, Matthew de Dammartin, William the bastard, Gilbert de Dammartin and Roger his brother, and Philip de Dammartin[37].  Evans indicated that this document “could not be [dated] later than 1135”.  However, this charter (as reported: the complete document has not been seen) is confused: the title “comes” accorded to the grantor is anachronistic and the witnesses are more consistent with a later date.  Maybe the document is a later conflation of earlier charters.]  He succeeded his father in [1178/79]: the 1178/79 Pipe Roll records "Bartholomeus de Dammartin" liable in respect of “terre patris sui” in Norfolk and Suffolk[38].  The 1186/87 Pipe Roll records between "Godardus Merciarius" and “Bartholomeum de Dammartin” in London & Middlesex[39].  Richard I King of England confirmed a donation to Stratford-at-Bow by “Galienæ et filii eius Bartholomei de Daumartin” by charter dated 9 Oct 1189[40]

d)         WILLIAM de Dammartin (-1195).  ["Aubri comes Dommartini" granted Norton, Suffolk to “William de Donomart” by undated charter, witnessed by Manassès de Dammartin, Bartholomew de Dammartin, Hamo de Dammartin and William his brother, Alan de Dammartin, Walter de Dammartin, Matthew de Dammartin, William the bastard, Gilbert de Dammartin and Roger his brother, and Philip de Dammartin[44].  Evans indicated that this document “could not be [dated] later than 1135”.  However, this charter (as reported: the complete document has not been seen) is confused: the title “comes” accorded to the grantor is anachronistic and the witnesses are more consistent with a later date.  Maybe the document is a later conflation of earlier charters.]  “Manassès de Dammartin, avec son épouse Galienne et ses fils Barthélemy, Eudes, Haimon, Guillaume et d’autres” donated property to Missenden by charter dated to before 1161[45].  He succeeded his brother Bartholomew.  The Red Book of the Exchequer, listing scutage payments in [1190/91], records "comes Albericus" paying "iv s ix d" in Buckinghamshire, Bedfordshire and of "Willelmus de Danmartin, Albericus de Danmartin", each paying "x s, i militem" in Norfolk, Suffolk[46].  The Red Book of the Exchequer, listing scutage payments in [1194/95], records that "Willelmus de Danmartin" paid "xx s, i militem" in Norfolk, Suffolk[47]m ---.  The name of William's wife is not known.  William & his wife had one child: 

i)          GALIENA (-after 1228).  She was heiress of her paternal grandfather's estates by 1197.  King John confirmed that "Johannes Briewerr" held "terram q fuit Willi de Danmartin…cum Galiena filia eiusdem" by charter dated 28 Feb 1200[48].  King John confirmed "feod i militis in Meldesham…" held by "Johs Briwerr…cum filia et herede Willi de Danmartin" to "Willelmo Briw" by charter dated 22 Mar 1205[49].  The Testa de Nevill includes a writ of King John dated 1212 which records that King Henry I granted "Mendlesh" in Suffolk to "Odoni de Danmartin" and that it was then held by "Roberto…de Burgate…cum uxore sua heredi Willelmi de Danmartin"[50].  King John granted "feodum uni militis in Heldesham quod Johannes Briwer teneit cum predicta filia et herede Willelmi de Danmartin" to "Willelmo Briwerr" on the marriage of "Roberto de Burgat" and "Galienam filiam et heredem Willelmi Danmartin" dated 16 Mar 1215[51]"Ernulfus de Mandevill et Galiena uxor eius" appointed an attorney against "Isabellam comitissam Oxonie de custodia terre et heredis Roberti de Burgate" dated 1228[52].  Mendlesham was later held by Thomas FitzOtes (see below).  His acquisition of the property, whether by inheritance or purchase, has not been traced.  m firstly (before 28 Feb 1200) JOHN Briwere, son of --- (-before 22 Mar 1205).  m secondly ([16 Mar 1215]) ROBERT de Burgate, son of --- (-1220).  m thirdly ERNALD de Mandeville, son of --- (-after 1228). 

e)         other children .  “Manassès de Dammartin, avec son épouse Galienne et ses fils Barthélemy, Eudes, Haimon, Guillaume et d’autres” donated property to Missenden by charter dated to before 1161[53]

3.         AUBRY [I] de Dammartin (-after [1171/72]).  His parentage is confirmed by an undated charter which records that Simon Earl of Northampton and Huntingdon enfeoffed “Alberico comite de Danmartin” with “terram de Wrestlingewerde et de Berchamstede” which his father had granted to “Odoni de Danmartin fratre suo” [see above], maybe dated to before [1184][54].  Lord of Norton, Suffolk: King Henry I notified the bishop of Norwich and the barons of Suffolk that he had restored his father’s land "the manor of Norton" to "Aubrey de Dammartin" by charter dated to [1130/35][55].  The Red Book of the Exchequer records "Carta Albrici de Danmartin" in Suffolk in 1166, recording that during the reign of King Henry I he held one knight’s fee [maybe Norton, Suffolk, although this is not specified], which he now held from King Henry II, and that "tempore Henrici Regis" he had sub-enfeoffed it to “Willelmum de Danmartin fratrem meum[56].  [This links with the undated charter under which "Aubri comes Dommartini" granted Norton, Suffolk to “William de Donomart”, witnessed by Manassès de Dammartin, Bartholomew de Dammartin, Hamo de Dammartin and William his brother, Alan de Dammartin, Walter de Dammartin, Matthew de Dammartin, William the bastard, Gilbert de Dammartin and Roger his brother, and Philip de Dammartin[57].  Evans indicated that this document “could not be [dated] later than 1135”.  However, this charter (as reported: the complete document has not been seen) is confused: the title “comes” accorded to the grantor is anachronistic and the witnesses are more consistent with a later date.]  Lord of Hamerton, Huntingdonshire: Simon Earl of Northampton and Huntingdon confirmed that “Henricus de Rio” had enfeoffed “Alberico de Dammartin” with “Hamertun” by charter dated to the early 1150s[58].  “Albricus de Domno Martino et Matilda uxor eius” donated “ecclesiam de Hamertune” to Colchester St. John by undated charter, witnessed by “Hubertus de Sancto Claro...[59].  Evans dates this document to [1147/67][60].  The 1155/56 Pipe Roll records "Albici de Damartin" partially satisfying a debt[61].  “Manasses de Dammartin et Albricus frater eius et Alanus” witnessed the undated charter, dated to [1156/78], for Bury St. Edmund’s under Abbot Hugh[62].  The 1160/61 Pipe Roll names (in order) "Maness de Damartin, Wills de Dammartin, Albr de Dammartin" in Norfolk/Suffolk[63].  The Red Book of the Exchequer refers to "Albericus de Danmartin i m" in Yorkshire in [1161/62][64].  The 1167/68 Pipe Roll records "Manaser de Damartin, Albic de Damartin...Odo de Damartin" each returning for one knight’s fee in Norfolk and Suffolk[65].  The Red Book of the Exchequer refers to "Albericus de Danmartin xx s, Manasser de Danmartin xx s" in Norfolk, Suffolk in [1171/72][66].  [same person as...?  AUBRY (-after 1129).  Chambrier de France 1122 to 1129[67].  The English properties held by Aubry [II] Comte de Dammartin suggest a close relationship with the Dammartin families in England who are recorded holding the same lands.  The father of Comte Aubry is named in the charter dated 1162 under which "Amalricus...Silvanectensis episcopus" confirmed the donation of “usum...totius forestæ Espioniæ de Bealci” made to Charlieu by “Albericus camerarius et filius eius Albericus comes de Dammartin”, with the consent of “Johanne scancione regis et uxore sua Helisendi et Petro filio suo[68].  Given the English connection, the obvious suggestion is that Comte Aubry was the son of the English Aubry [I] de Dammartin.  However, the chronology is not ideal for the latter to have been the chambrier who was named between 1122 and 1129.  As indicated above, the English Aubry [I] was adult during the late years of King Henry I.  However, as one of the younger sons of Eudes [I] de Dammartin, it is unclear whether he was old enough to have held the position of chambrier in 1122.  same person as...?  AUBRY [I] (-after 1162).  One possibility to avoid the chronological difficulty highlighted above, is that there were two chambriers named Aubry.  [Chambrier de France 1155/62].  This appointment is suggested by the charter dated 1162 quoted above.  Delaite says that Aubry [I], father of Comte Aubry [II], was “suivant le père Anselme, chambrier de France en 1155 et 1160[69].  In fact, Père Anselme lists “Alberic I...comte de Dammartin, chambrier de France”, referring only to the 1162 charter and adding that he was still alive in 1181, but cites no references dated 1155 or 1160[70].  Luchaire, in his review of the royal officers, comments that “cet Aubri n’apparaît, à notre connaissance, sur aucune charte de Louis VII[71].  He traces the reference to Aubry as chambrier to Ducange who, Luchaire suggests, misinterpreted the 1162 charter[72].  Luchaire names Mathieu [II] Comte de Beaumont as chambrier from 1151 to 1174.  If Luchaire is correct, the reference to “camerarius” in the 1162 charter still needs explaining.  If Comte Aubry [II] was the son of the English Aubry [I] de Dammartin, the chronology of his life suggests that the latter was too young to have been the chambrier who was named between 1122 and 1129 (see above).  One possibility therefore is that the appointment oscillated between Comte Mathieu [II] and Aubry [I] during the 1150s/1160s, without leaving a trace in the surviving charters.]  There is considerable uncertainty about the marriage(s) of Aubry [I].  [m firstly ---.  There is no proof of this supposed first marriage.  However, if the suggestion is correct that the English Aubry [I] de Dammartin was the father of Aubry [II] Comte de Dammartin, the chronology suggests that the latter would have been the son of an earlier unrecorded marriage.  If that is correct, the possibility is discussed in the document PARIS REGION NOBILITY that this earlier wife was heiress of the county of Dammartin in order to explain the transmission of the county to Aubry [II].]  [m [secondly] MATILDA, daughter of [HAMON de St. Clair & his first wife Gunnor Bigod] (-after 1147).  “Albricus de Domno Martino et Matilda uxor eius” donated “ecclesiam de Hamertune” to Colchester St. John by undated charter, witnessed by “Hubertus de Sancto Claro...[73].  Evans dates this document to [1147/67][74].  If that is correct, it suggests that Matilda was the wife of Aubry, son of Eudes [I].  The common link with Hamerton also indicates that this is right.  The witness also donated the same church to Colchester St. John, which suggests a joint interest with the donors.  Maybe Matilda was the sister of Hubert de Saint-Clair.] 

[-       COMTES de DAMMARTIN.] 

4.         WILLIAM de Dammartin (-after 1166).  “William de Dan Martin” donated “all my land of Certeham and...land in Chepstede” to Lewes St. Pancras by undated charter, witnessed by “...Walter de Danmartin...[75].  The Red Book of the Exchequer records "Carta Albrici de Danmartin" in Suffolk in 1166, recording that during the reign of King Henry I he held one knight’s fee [maybe Norton, Suffolk, although this is not specified], which he now held from King Henry II, and that "tempore Henrici Regis" he had sub-enfeoffed it to “Willelmum de Danmartin fratrem meum[76].  [This links with the undated charter under which "Aubri comes Dommartini" granted Norton, Suffolk to “William de Donomart”, witnessed by Manassès de Dammartin, Bartholomew de Dammartin, Hamo de Dammartin and William his brother, Alan de Dammartin, Walter de Dammartin, Matthew de Dammartin, William the bastard, Gilbert de Dammartin and Roger his brother, and Philip de Dammartin[77].  Evans indicated that this document “could not be [dated] later than 1135”.  However, this charter (as reported: the complete document has not been seen) is confused: the title “comes” accorded to the grantor is anachronistic and the witnesses are more consistent with a later date.]  “Gilbert Earl of Clare” donated “the church of Blachinglea” to Lewes St. Pancras, in return for “quit-claim the land of Gretenesse which my father gave them”, by undated charter (dated to [1138/53]), witnessed by “...William de Dan martin and Stephen his brother...[78].  “Etienne de Dammartin...avec Guillaume son frère” subscribed a charter of Roger de Clare for Stoke-by-Clare priory dated to [1152/66][79].  The 1160/61 Pipe Roll names (in order) "Maness de Damartin, Wills de Dammartin, Albr de Dammartin" in Norfolk/Suffolk[80].  Kinsman of Roger de Clare, from whom he held eleven and a half fees in 1166[81]m ---.  The name of William’s wife is not known.  The connection with Surrey suggests that she may have been AGNES, daughter of --- (-after [1169/70]), named in the 1169/70 Pipe Roll which records "De plac’ Alan de Nevill…Hocha tra Agnetis de Dammartin" owing in Surrey[82], who was presumably a widow at the time.  William & his wife had one child:

1.         ANSFRID de Dover (-after 1166).  Military fee certifications in the Red Book of the Exchequer, in 1166, name "Anfridus de Dovra, dimidium militem" among those providing military service for William Earl of Gloucester in Kent[173]

 

2.         RICHARD de Dover (-after 1166).  Military fee certifications in the Red Book of the Exchequer, in 1166, record that "Ricardus de Dovra" held one knight’s fee from the bishop of Hereford in Herefordshire[174]

 

3.         ROBERT de Dover (-[before 1194]).  The Red Book of the Exchequer, listing scutage payments in [1194/95], records "honor Roberti de Dovra" paying "xiv l, xiv milites" in Kent[175].  The Red Book of the Exchequer, listing scutage payments in [1196/97], records "honor Roberti de Dovra" paying "xiv l, xiv milites" in Kent[176].  It is unclear whether these entries mean that Robert was an absentee landlord in Kent, paying scutage directly in another location, or that he was deceased and the arrangements for payment in the name of his heir unfinalised. 

 

4.         HAMON de Chilham (-after 1196).  The Red Book of the Exchequer, listing scutage payments in [1196/97], records "Hamo de Chileham" paying "dimidium militem…de honore Piperelli de Dovra" in Kent[177]

 

5.         HUGH de Dover (-after 1210).  The Red Book of the Exchequer records "Hugo de Dovra" holding one knight’s fee "in Childestone" in Hereford in [1210/12][178]

DUNSTANVILLE

 

 

Loyd indicates that the Dunstanville family originated in “Dénestanville” in the present-day French département of Seine-Maritime (previously Seine-Inférieure), arrondissement Dieppe, canton Longueville[180]This family has been the subject of unsubstantiated genealogies, based on forged documentation, probably compiled in the late 15th century.  Eyton quotes from one of these genealogies and three of the alleged primary source documents on which it is based[181].  The purpose behind these late forgeries is unknown, as the family became extinct in the male line around two centuries earlier.  The existence of these forgeries suggests that a policy of caution is preferable when reconstructing the early generations of the family.  Secondary sources indicate that the later Dunstanvilles were descended from Rainald de Dunstanville who is shown below.  The primary sources which confirm that this descent is correct have not yet been identified, and it is not known whether it is traceable only to one of the later forgeries.  There are many other uncertainties in the reconstruction of this family, as highlighted below. 

 

 

[Three] brothers: 

1.         WALTER [I] de Dunstanville (-after [1094/98]).  "…Walter of Dunstanville and Robert his brother…" witnessed the charter dated to [1094/98] under which William II King of England confirmed the donation to the abbey of Sainte-Marie de la Sauve Majeure by Hugues de Montgommery[182]. 

2.         ROBERT [I] de Dunstanville"…Walter of Dunstanville and Robert his brother…" witnessed the charter dated to [1094/98] under which William II King of England confirmed the donation to the abbey of Sainte-Marie de la Sauve Majeure by Hugues de Montgommery[183].  An undated charter records “Roberti de Dunstanvilla” among the benefactors of Lewes Priory and his donation of “ecclesia de Bereham…[et] capella de Gretcham” in Sussex[184].  This donation can be dated to before 1121 by the charter of that date which confirmed the possessions of Lewes Priory including the churches of "Bercha…Bercha…Grethea…" and "Sibilia filia Beorndi de Novo Mercato" refers to land held by "Ric fil Pontii"[185]

3.         [--- de Dunstanville (-before 1121).  Assuming that “nepos” in the charter quoted below should be interpreted as nephew not grandson, it is not known whether the father of Alan de Dunstanville was Walter [I] de Dunstanville, named above, or another unnamed brother of Robert [I], possibly Rainald de Dunstanville who is shown below.  m ---.]  One child: 

a)         ALAN [I] de Dunstanville .  In its record of the donation of "ecclesia de Bereham" in Sussex to Lewes Priory by “Roberti de Dunstanvilla” (dated to before 1121, see above), an undated charter records that the property was “de feodo Alani nepotis sui” who later donated revenue to the priory[186]

 

 

Two siblings: 

1.         RAINALD de Dunstanville (-after 1129).  "…Reinaldus de Dunstanvilla…" subscribed a charter dated 28 Jun 1121 under which "Willelmus filius regis" donated "terra…Grenta de Stoca" to Bath St Peter[187]The 1130 Pipe Roll records "Ragin de Dunstanvilla" in Wiltshire (two entries) and Surrey[188].  An undated charter records “Rainaldus de Dunstanvilla” among the benefactors of Lewes Priory and his donation of “Winterburnam…ecclesiam” in Wiltshire[189].  King Stephen confirmed donations to St. Pancras by undated charter, including the donation of Winterbourne church in Wiltshire made by "Reginald de Dunstanville"[190]m ADELISE de l’Isle, daughter of ---.  The 1130 Pipe Roll records "Tierric fil Rogi filioli…hat rectu de hereditate sua. Et Adeliz de Dunestanvilla est inde pleg" in Wiltshire[191].  An undated charter of Henry I King of England records donations to Tewkesbury abbey including that of “terram de Poltona” {Potterne, Wiltshire} by “Adeliza de Insula” for the soul of "Reginaldi de Dunstanvilla viri sui"[192].  Secondary sources indicate that Adelisa was the daughter of Humphrey de l’Isle who is named in Domesday.  The primary source which confirms that this is correct has not yet been identified

2.         GUNDRED (-after [1129/30]).  The 1130 Pipe Roll records "Gunderede sorori Ragin de Dunestanvilla" in Wiltshire, on the same page as her supposed brother[193]According to C. Phillips[194], this connection with Wiltshire makes it more likely that "Ragin. de Dunstanvilla" was a member of the Wiltshire Dunstanville family rather than the Earl of Cornwall.  If this is correct, Gundred was not the daughter of King Henry I.  This conclusion is also supported by the birth date ranges estimated for the earl of Cornwall ([1110/15], see the document ENGLAND KINGS) and his uterine brother Herbert FitzHerbert ([1125/35], see below in the present document), which render it unlikely that they would have had a sister who is recorded as a land-holder in 1130. 

 

 

[Two] brothers.  Oswald Barron names Robert and Alan de Dunstanville as sons of Rainald de Dunstanville and his wife Adelise de l’Isle but does not cite the corresponding primary source[195].  If this parentage is correct, it is surprising that the name Rainald does not feature among the couple’s descendants.  It is possible that Alan [II] de Dunstanville, brother of Robert [II] who is named below, was the same person as Alan [I], nephew of Robert [I], who is named above. 

1.         ROBERT [II] de Dunstanville (-[1166]).  "…Roberto de Dunest[anvilla]…" 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[196].  "Ricardo de Humez constabulario…Roberto de Dunstanvilla…" witnessed the charter dated to [1152/54] under which Henri Duke of Normandy ceded the former house of "Conani thesaurarii" to Bayeux until his heirs paid a debt[197].  "Ricardus de Humez constabularius, Richardus de Haia…Robertus de Dunstanvilla…" witnessed the charter dated under which Henri Duke of Normandy notified a judgment relating to the house of the late "Conani thesaurarii" by charter dated to [1152/54][198].  “Robert de Dunstanvill” witnessed the undated charter under which “Walter de Dunstanvill” confirmed his parents’ donation of land of Niwetimbre to St. Pancras[199].  Henry II King of England confirmed property "Cutiford" to the priory of Furleigh, donated by "Walterus de Dunst. et Alanus frater eius" for the soul of "Roberti de Dunst avunculi sui", by charter dated to [1166/69][200].  The Victoria County of History of Surrey records that Robert de Wateville is “said to have sold” the manor of Shalford to Robert [II] de Dunstanville (undated, but presumably early in the reign of Henry II)[201]The following document indicates that Walter [II] de Dunstanville, Robert [II]’s supposed nephew, held Shalford at some point after Robert [II] died: King John confirmed the grant of "manerium de Scaudeford", which "fuit Walteri de Dunestanvill [=Walter [II]] avunculi sui, sic jus et liberum maritagium Aelic matris ipsius Gilberti", to "Gilberto Basset" by charter dated 20 Mar 1200[202].  Walter [II]’s holding that property suggests that Robert [II] died without direct heirs.  This suggestion appears corroborated by the [1166/69] document under which Henry II King of England confirmed property "Cutiford" to the priory of Furleigh, donated by "Walterus de Dunst. et Alanus frater eius" for the soul of "Roberti de Dunst avunculi sui"[203], as otherwise any surviving children of Robert [II] would presumably have been involved in the donation. 

2.         [ALAN [II] de Dunstanville (-[Jul 1141/1156]).  Oswald Barron names Alan de Dunstanville as father of Walter, Alan and Alice but does not cite the corresponding primary sources[204].  His family connection is indicated by the undated charter under which his son Walter [II] confirmed his parents’ donation of land of Niwetimbre to St. Pancras, which is witnessed by “Robert de Dunstanvill” who would presumably have been Robert [II], Walter [II]’s paternal uncle[205]"...Alano de Dunstonvill" witnessed the charter dated [Jun/Jul] 1141 under which Empress Matilda donated property to Haughmond abbey[206].  King Stephen confirmed donations to St. Pancras by undated charter, including the donation of Burpham church made by "Alan de Dunstanvilla"[207].]  m ---.  The name of Alan’s wife is not known.  Alan [II] & his wife had three children: 

a)         WALTER [II] de Dunstanville (-[1195]).  The 1155/56 Pipe Roll records "Waltero de Dunestanuill" being pardoned Danegeld in Sussex[208].  “Walter de Dunstanvill” confirmed his parents’ donation of land of Niwetimbre to St. Pancras by undated charter, witnessed by “Robert de Dunstanvill[209].  Henry II King of England confirmed property "Cutiford" to the priory of Furleigh, donated by "Walterus de Dunst. et Alanus frater eius" for the soul of "Roberti de Dunst avunculi sui", by charter dated to [1166/69][210].  The Red Book of the Exchequer refers to "Walterus de Dunstanville iii m" in Sussex in [1167/68][211].  The 1176/77 Pipe Roll names "Waltero de Dunestanuill…in Colinton" in Devonshire, "Walterus de Dunestanuill" in Shropshire, and "Waltero de Dunestanuill…in Hichtredeberia" iand "de Brocton" in Wiltshire[212].  [m firstly URSULA, daughter of RENAUD [de Dunstanville] Earl of Cornwall & his wife Beatrice FitzWilliam.  Her parentage and marriage are included in a manuscript pedigree of Dunstanville, probably dated to [1461/1509], based on an alleged mandate of King John which asserts that in [1196/97] "Reginald late Earl of Cornwall…acknowledged that a moiety of the manor of Colern and a third part of the manor of Addersley" in Wiltshire "were the right of Walter de Dunstanville and Ursula his wife, daughter of the said earl, father and mother of Walter de Dunstanville now living"[213].  Eyton highlights that the document does not exist in any of the surviving rolls of King John and describes it as "a detestable forgery", pointing out that Renaud Earl of Cornwall died in 1175.]  [m secondly ---.  .No direct proof of this supposed second marriage has been found.  However, the claim by Walter [II]’s widow Sibylla against Thomas Basset for her dower suggests that she may not have been the mother of Walter’s son Walter [III].  This suggestion appears reinforced by Sibylla’s claim in 1228/1229 (see below), also brought against representatives of the Basset family, in relation to which the limited source material available makes no mention of Walter [III].]  m [thirdly] as her first husband, SIBYLLA, daughter of --- (-after 1230).  She married secondly Enguerrand des Préaux.  Her two marriages are confirmed by Bracton who records a claim, dated 1220, by "Engelramus de Pratellis…et Sibilla uxor eius" against "Thomam Basset" [son of Alice de Dunstanville, see below] for "terciam partem de Colintona…dotem ipsius Sibille et Walterus de Dunstanuilla quondam vir suus"[214].  Kennett notes the “trial at law in the fourteenth of Henry III [Oct 1229/Oct 1230]” between “Sibilla de Ferrers widow of Walter son of Walter Dunstanvil” and “William Longespe and Idonea his wife, grand-daughter and heir to the estate of Gilbert Basset”[215].  No precise extract of documents relating to this lawsuit has been found (in particular no record was found in Bracton’s Note Book[216]), but the fact of the lawsuit is confirmed by the Close Rolls which include proxies given by “Sibilla de Ferrariis” to sue William Longuespee and Idonia relating to “terre in Scaldeford et Alfold” in Surrey, dated 1228[217].  The connection between Sibylla and the Ferrers family has not been ascertained: was she née Ferrers, or did she marry a third husband from the Ferrers family?  Walter [II] & his [second] wife had one child: 

i)          WALTER [III] de Dunstanville (-before 21 Aug 1241).  The Red Book of the Exchequer, listing scutage payments in [1194/95], records "Walterus de Dunstanville" paying "xx s, i militem" in Shropshire[218].  The Red Book of the Exchequer, listing scutage payments in [1196/97], records "Walterus de Dunstanville" paying "xx s, i militem" in Shropshire and also paying in Wiltshire[219].  King John confirmed that “Waltero de Dunstanvill” had granted the manor of Winterbourne to “Alan Basset”, under a charter confirmed by King Richard I, by charter dated 10 Apr 1200[220].  The Red Book of the Exchequer records "Walterus de Dunstanville" holding one knight’s fee "Heithtredebiri" in Wiltshire, and one in Cornwall, in [1210/12][221].  King John confirmed the right of “Waltero de Dunstanvill” to hold a market in “maner suum de Hecthtredebir” by charter dated 7 Feb 1215[222].  Henry III King of England granted letters of conduct to "Walterus de Dunstanvill" dated 23 Dec 1216[223].  "Walter de Dunstanvill" was granted a weekly market "at his manor of Hecghtridebiri" dated 26 Mar 1227[224]m (before 22 Apr 1213) PETRONILLA, daughter of WILLIAM FitzAlan & his wife --- de Lacy.  Her parentage, marriage and descendants are referred to by Eyton[225].  Walter [III] & his wife had one child: 

(a)       WALTER [IV] de Dunstanville (-14 Jan 1270).  A writ dated 28 Jan "53 Hen III", after the death of "Walter de Dunstanvil", records that he died "on Tuesday after St Hilary last" and names "Petronilla his daughter aged 22 on the day of St Peter in Cathedra next, whom Roberti de Monteforti married, is his heir"[226]m firstly DENISE, daughter of ---.  Walter de Dunstanville confirmed his ancestors’ donations of Nyetimber, Winterbourne church and tithes of Scaldeford to Lewes priory, for the souls of “himself and his wife Denise”, by undated charter[227]m secondly ROHESE, daughter of --- (-after 1279).  Walter [IV] & his first wife had two children: 

(1)       WALTER [V] de Dunstanville (-21 Dec 1246, bur Idsall).  The Annals of Tewkesbury record the death "die Sancti Thomæ apostoli" in 1246 of “W. filius et hæres Walteri de Dunstanville junioris” and his burial “apud Hideshalle[228]

(2)       PETRONILLA de Dunstanville (22 Feb 1248-[1284/92]).  A writ dated 28 Jan "53 Hen III", after the death of "Walter de Dunstanvil", names "Petronilla his daughter aged 22 on the day of St Peter in Cathedra next, whom Roberti de Monteforti married, is his heir"[229].  Wrottesley’s genealogical table, in his extract based on a claim by the king against Humphrey de Bohun Earl of Hereford for “the next presentation to the church of Ideshale (Albrighton)” in Shropshire, records “Petronilla” as the daughter of “Walter de Dunstanvylle, temp. Henr. 3” and her two husbands “Robert de Montfort” (with their son “William”) and “John de Mare, 2nd husband[230]m firstly (before 14 Jan 1270) ROBERT de Montfort, son of PIERS [I] de Montfort & his wife Alice de Audley (-1274).  m secondly ([1275/76]) as his first wife, JOHN de la Mare, son of MATTHEW de la Mare & his wife Florence de Akeni (-[1313/14]). 

b)         ALAN [III] de Dunstanville (-[1187/10 Oct 1200])Henry II King of England confirmed property "Cutiford" to the priory of Furleigh, donated by "Walterus de Dunst. et Alanus frater eius" for the soul of "Roberti de Dunst avunculi sui", by charter dated to [1166/69][231].  According to Domesday Descendants[232], Alan was the son of Rainald de Dunstanville and his wife Adelise de l’Isle (see above), but the primary source which confirms that this is correct has not yet been identified.  Military fee certifications in the Red Book of the Exchequer, in 1166, record that "Alanus de Dunstanville" held seven knights` fees in Sussex under the Earl of Arundel[233].  The Red Book of the Exchequer refers to "Alanus de Dunstanville xjj" in Cornwall in [1186/87][234].  The primary source which indicates the date of Alan’s death has not been identified, but he was deceased in the following document.  An order of King John dated 10 Oct 1200 relates to "heredem Alani de Dunstanvill qui est in custodia matris sue uxoris quondam predicti Alani", addressed to "Willelmo de Cantilupo"[235].  [m firstly ---.  Wrottesley’s extract from the Curia Regis Rolls [1242/43], cited below under Alan’s wife Muriel, refers to her as his “(second) wife”.  This is consistent with the possibility that Alan [III]’s supposed sonm Geoffrey was born from an earlier wife, as discussed below.]  m [secondly] (before 1180?) [as her first/second husband,] MURIEL, [widow of ---], daughter of --- & his wife Emma de Langetot ([1154/55]-after 10 Oct 1200).  The Rotuli de Dominabus of 1185 records that “uxor Alani de Dunstanville…xxx annorum et uxor Alardi filii Willelmi…xxiv annorum” were the heirs of “Emme de Langetot…lx annorum…de genere illarum de Chedney et Joscelini Crispini” in Buckinghamshire[236].  The date of her marriage with Alan de Dunstanville is suggested consistent with the likely (although uncertain) chronology of the descendants of William Basset, husband of her daughter Cecily.  An order of King John dated 10 Oct 1200 relates to "heredem Alani de Dunstanvill qui est in custodia matris sue uxoris quondam predicti Alani", addressed to "Willelmo de Cantilupo"[237], which shows that Muriel survived her husband Alan.  Her family origin is indicated by Domesday Descendants which says that the “principal heir [of Ralph [II] de Langetot] seems to have been Emma de Langetot, probably his daughter” adding that “she was the niece of Matilda sister of ‘Ranulf’ de Langetot - an error for Ralph - according to a Thetford charter of her daughter Muriel[238].  She married [firstly/secondly] ---, by whom she had a daughter Muriel, married to Robert Danvers.  Her name, two marriages, and daughter by her other husband are confirmed by Wrottesley’s extract based on a claim dated [1242/43] in which he says that “William de Englefeud, Alan Basset and Gilbert de Boseville” sued “Robert Danvers and Muriel his wife” for “half a knight’s fee...in Schiplak...”, the defendants claiming that the land was the inheritance of “Muriel, the (second) wife of Alan de Dunsterville, and the mother of the said Muriel, wife of Robert, and of Emma, Cecily and Alice[239].    The chronology is not precise enough to decide the order of her marriages (her date of birth suggests that her other husband may have been her first, although it is not impossible that Alan [III] de Dunstanville died many years before 1200 when his widow was still of child-bearing age).  Alan [III] & his [first wife] had one child: 

i)          [GEOFFREY de Dunstanville .  Wrottesley’s genealogical table, in his extract based on the [1242/43] claim cited above under Alan [III]’s wife Muriel, records “Geoffrey de Dunstanville, seised temp. H. 2, ob. s.p.” as son of “Alan de Dunsterville” [=Alan [III]], and in his text notes that the plaintiffs “denied that Muriel, the wife of Robert, was a coheir of Geoffrey” and that they won their claim “excepting as to that portion of the land which had formed the marriage portion of Muriel[240].  Geoffrey’s existence is confirmed by a charter dated 28 Apr 1241 which records a final settlement between "Willelmum de Englefeld querentem" [grandson of Emma de Dunstanville, see below] and "Alanum Basset impedientem" [son of Cecily de Dunstanville, see below], 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 eodemville comitatu in dotem de dono predicti Alani” which should revert to William when Isabella died but would now instead pass to Alan[241]Wrottesley’s extract indicates that the descendants of Alan [III]’s three daughters won their claim against their mother’s daughter (presumably by her other husband, see above) Muriel because the latter was not one of the heirs of Geoffrey de Dunstanville.  If Geoffrey was the son of Alan [III], as indicated by Wrottesley, Muriel would have lost her claim if Geoffrey’s mother had been Alan’s supposed first wife (see above), in which case she would not have been his blood relation.  If Geoffrey was Alan [III]’s son, he presumably predeceased his father or died soon afterwards, as the 10 Oct 1200 cited below under Alan [IV] indicates that their father’s heir (presumably Alan [IV]) was under age at the time.  A different possibility is that Geoffrey was the son of Alan [IV], which could explain why he was named “consanguiney” not “avunculi” in the 28 Apr 1241 document, but that would mean that Wrottesley’s reference to his being “seised temp. H. 2” was incorrect. 

Alan [III] & his [second] wife had four children: 

ii)         ALAN [IV] de Dunstanville (-before [1225/28]).  An order of King John dated 10 Oct 1200 relates to "heredem Alani de Dunstanvill qui est in custodia matris sue uxoris quondam predicti Alani", addressed to "Willelmo de Cantilupo"[242].  While Alan [III]’s heir is unnamed, the document refers to a son by his [second] wife Muriel (see above) who could have been Alan [IV].  Alan [IV]’s parentage is indicated by the charter dated 1 Jul 1241, quoted below under his wife, which names "Alani de Dunstanvill avunculi predictorum Gilberti et Alani" [the descendants of two of his sisters, see below, presumably Alan’s heirs].  No document has yet been found which names Alan [IV] in his own capacity.  m as her first husband, ISABEL de Vautort, daughter of ROGER de Vautort of Harberton, Devon & his wife --- (-after 28 Apr 1241).  She married secondly ([1225/28]) Thomas [I] Corbet.  A charter dated 28 Apr 1241 records a final settlement between "Willelmum de Englefeld querentem" [grandson of her husband’s sister Emma, see below] and "Alanum Basset impedientem" [son of his sister Cecily, see below], 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[243]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"[244]Her family origin and second marriage are indicated by inquisitions dated "24 Oct 27 Edw I" following the death of "Hawis late the wife of Reginald de Valle Torta" which name “Peter Corbet aged 30 and more and Henry de la Pomerey aged 32 are next heirs of the inheritance of the said Reginald[245] Alan [IV] & his wife had [one child]:

iii)        EMMA de DunstanvilleWrottesley’s genealogical table, in his extract based on the [1242/43] claim cited above under Alan [III]’s wife Muriel, records “Emma” as oldest of three daughters of “Alan de Dunsterville” [=Alan [III]], as mother of “Alan” and grandmother of “William de Englefeud, plaintiff[246].  The Dunsterville/Englefield family relationship is indicated by the 28 Apr 1241 charter cited above.  m --- de Englefield, son of ---. 

iv)        CECILY de Dunstanville (-before 26 Feb 1208).  King John confirmed "feud i militis…in Okléé" to "Willo Basset fil et heredi Johis Basset fil Osmundi Basset", and "pereatis de Cecylia de Dunestanvill quondam uxore sua villam de Menelidam" which "Alanus de Dunestanvill pater ipsius Cecilie dedit ei ad se maritandam", by charter dated 26 Feb 1208[247].  Wrottesley’s genealogical table, in his extract based on the [1242/43] claim cited above under Alan [III]’s wife Muriel, records “Cecily” as second of three daughters of “Alan de Dunsterville” [=Alan [III]] and as mother of “Alan Basset, plaintiff[248]m WILLIAM Basset of Ipsden, son of JOHN Basset of Ipsden & his wife --- (-after 26 Feb 1208). 

v)         ALICE de Dunstanville .  Wrottesley’s genealogical table, in his extract based on the [1242/43] claim cited above under Alan [III]’s wife Muriel, records “Alice” as second of three daughters of “Alan de Dunsterville” [=Alan [III]] and as mother of “Gilbert de Boseville, plaintiff[249].  The Dunsterville/Boseville family relationship is confirmed by the 1 Jul 1241 charter cited above.  m --- de Boseville, son of ---. 

c)         ALICE de Dunstanville (-after 1186)Oswald Barron names Alice as daughter of Alan [II] de Dunstanville and records her marriage to Thomas Basset (no sources cited)[250].  Assuming that “avunculus” is used in the following document in the strict sense of maternal uncle, her parentage is confirmed by a charter dated 20 Mar 1200 under which King John confirmed the grant of "manerium de Scaudeford", which "fuit Walteri de Dunestanvill [=Walter [II]] avunculi sui, sic jus et liberum maritagium Aelic matris ipsius Gilberti", to her son "Gilberto Basset"[251].  The Victoria County of History of Surrey records that Robert de Wateville is “said to have sold” the manor of Shalford to Robert [II] de Dunstanville (undated, but presumably early in the reign of Henry II)[252], while Walter [II]’s holding of Shalford recorded in the 20 Mar 1200 document would have been as Robert [II]’s heir if Robert had died childless.  The question is then complicated by Lysons’s Magna Britannia which says that Alice, wife of Thomas Basset, was the daughter of Robert [II] de Dunstanville, noting that King Henry II confirmed “the manors of Shalefeld and Aldeford, in Surrey, as having been the marriage-portion of his mother Alice Dunstanville” to her son Gilbert Basset[253].  Lysons cites Kennett, who also says that Alice was Robert’s daughter and notes the resulting “trial at law in the fourteenth of Henry III [Oct 1229/Oct 1230]” between “Sibilla de Ferrers widow of Walter son of Walter Dunstanvil” and “William Longespe and Idonea his wife, grand-daughter and heir to the estate of Gilbert Basset”[254].  Further information is found in the Victoria County of History of Surrey which records that Robert de Wateville is “said to have sold” the manor of Shalford to Robert [II] de Dunstanville (undated, but presumably early in the reign of Henry II)[255], and that “Walter de Dunstanville [=Walter [II]] gave the manor with his sister Alice in marriage” before repossessing it himself, whereupon Gilbert Basset, son of Alice, obtained a confirmation from King John (citing the same 20 Mar 1200 charter which is recorded above)[256].  This reference to Alice being Walter [II]’s sister does not amount to further evidence if it is based only on the wording of the 20 Mar 1200 document, as appears likely.  However, as noted above, the text of that document suggests that Walter had held the Surrey properties himself, which is consistent with his having been Robert [II]’s heir (and therefore with Robert dying childless).  The Surrey Victoria County History also cites “the continued suits by a certain Sybil” who it says was “said to have been the second wife of Walter de Dunstanville. She appears first as Sibyl wife of Ingram de Pratellis and afterwards as Sibyl Ferrars[257].  No precise extract of documents relating to these lawsuits has been found (in particular no record was found in Bracton’s Note Book[258]), but the fact of the lawsuits is confirmed by the Close Rolls which include proxies given by “Sibilla de Ferrariis” to sue William Longuespee and Idonia relating to “terre in Scaldeford et Alfold” in Surrey, dated 1228[259].  Without further documentation, it is impossible to determine if the lawsuit documents actually did record Alice as the daughter of Robert [II].  Until more information emerges, Alice is shown here as the sister of Walter [II] which appears consistent with the wording of the 20 Mar 1200 document.  m THOMAS Basset [I] of Headington, Oxfordshire, son of --- (-after [1180/82]). 

 

 

In addition to the above, Betty Gorrie has highlighted a 17th century secondary source which refers to another potential member of the Dunstanville family[260].  Thomas Westcote’s 17th century pedigrees of Devonshire families records in Ashton, Devon (now Higher Ashton, 5 kilometres south-west of Exeter) “Hervey de Hilion, son and heir of Robert de Hilion (and of Mabel his wife, daughter of Sir Alan de Dunstanvile), son and heir of Hervey de Hilton, son and heir of Robert de Hilion, son and heir of Hervey which held Ashton in the time of William the Conqueror, as appears by Domesday Book” (no sources cited)[261].  If his account is correct, the chronology suggests that Mabel, wife of Robert de Helion (great-grandson of the Domesday tenant), could have been the daughter of Alan [II] if she was a member of the Dunstanville family.  Westcote’s record of the later descent of Ashton, through the male Helion line successively to the Prouz and Chudleigh families, is expanded by Magna Britannia which inserts another step into the line, saying that “the heiress of [Helion] brought [Ashton] to Sir Fulke Ferrers, from whose family it passed by successive female heirs to Prouz and Chudleigh” (no sources cited and no further details given)[262].  Westcote partially corroborates Magna Britannia in another passage which discusses another descent from “Sir Fulk Ferrers, of Throwley, knight, and...his wife sister and coheir of Sir Robert Helion of Ashton” (still no sources cited)[263].  However, in relation to ther Helion family of Devon, a 1940 article comments that “in common with other searchers I have failed completely to find any documentary evidence whatever of either Fulk Ferrers’s first marriage to the Helion heiress or of his ever having held Ashton[264].  This comment suggests that Westcote’s account remains uncorroborated.  While Domesday Book records that “the wife [presumably his widow?] of Hervey de Hellean holds Ashton from the king...[she] has these three estates as 1 manor...in exchange for Chilton[265], no reference to the Helion family in Devon has been found in the 1130 Pipe Roll[266].  The Red Book of the Exchequer confirms the existence of such a family, recording in 1166 "Geolinus/Godeinnus de Helion/Heliun feodum i militis" in the "Carta Roberti filii Regis" and “Joslinus de Helyun, i militem” in the “Carta Henrici de Pomereia” in Devon, but includes no reference either to Robert or to Hervey[267].  However, several primary source documents record references to Robert de Helion in Essex and Suffolk.  For example, the 1155/56 and 1156/57 Pipe Rolls include “Rob. de Heliun” owing in Essex (but no Helion references in Devon)[268], and the Rotuli de Dominabus of 1185 names “Mabilia de Heliun...lx annorum...cujus heres est Robertus de Heliun” with “terra sua quam tenet in dote...” in Suffolk, noting that she was “filia Rogerti filii Ricardi[269].  The existence of this Mabel de Helion, of the right age but the wrong parentage, does suggest the possibility of some confusion between the Devon and Essex Helion families by Westcote.  Round, discussing the Helion family of Helions Bumpstead in Essex, does note “a separate family of the name” in Devonshire but gives no details[270].  The conclusion is that, until more information comes to light, it is suggested that Westcote’s account, including the existence of “Mabel...de Dunstanvile”, should be treated with caution. 

 

 

 

ESSEX

 

 

1.         --- .  m WIMARC, daughter of ---.  She is named by Guillaume de Poitou as the mother of Robert in the passage quoted below.  Eyton suggests that she was a “noble Saxon lady”, married to Robert’s Norman father who may have accompanied Emma de Normandie to England when she married King Æthelred II in 1002[271].  One child: 

a)         ROBERT FitzWimarc (-after [Aug 1070/Feb 1071], before [1070/75]).  Eyton suggests that the chronology indicates that Robert “cannot...have been born later than 1016[272].  Guillaume de Poitou names "natione Normannus, Rotbertus filius Wimaræ nobilis mulieris" as one of the supporters of Guillaume II Duke of Normandy "domino suo atque consanguineo" at the battle of Hastings[273].  Robert’s precise family relationship with the dukes of Normandy has not been ascertained.  He was a supporter of King Edward “the Confessor”: Domesday Book records that King Edward, after banishing “Spirites” one of the canons of Bromfield church in Shropshire, granted his land to “Robert fitzWimarc as to a canon” who "gave the same land to his son-in-law" against the wishes of the king who died before the matter was resolved, noting that “this [land] Robert [presumably different from Robert FitzWimarc] now holds of Earl Roger[274].  Domesday Book records that, during King Edward’s reign, “Robert fitzWimarc” held numerous properties (see “PASE Domesday” for a full list[275]), including Stoney Stoke and Brewham in Somerset, Shoebury (and other properties) in Essex ("now Swein [holds it]")[276].  "…Robert the Staller…" witnessed the charter dated “Whitsuntide” 1068, and "Robert fitz Guimar" a charter dated 1069[277].  “Willelmo filio Osberni [died Feb 1071], Roberto filio Wimarc” witnessed the undated charter [maybe forged or condensed because of the dating contradictions] under which King William addressed Lanfranc Archbishop of Canterbury [appointed Aug 1070] confirming “manerium Leosne” to Westminster St Peter and “Vitalis abbas” [appointed after Dec 1074[278]][279].  Robert presumably died before [1070/75], the date of his son’s charter cited below.  [same person as...?  ROBERT “the Deacon” .  Florence of Worcester names “Rotbertum diaconem et generum eius Ricardum filium Scrob, Ælfredum regis stratorem, Anfridum cognomento Ceocesfot” among the few Normans who were permitted to remain in England after King Edward restored Godwin Earl of Wessex to favour in 1052[280].  Eyton identifies “Robertum diaconem” as Robert FitzWimarc and “Ricardum filium Scrob” as his unnamed son-in-law who was referred to in Domesday Book in connection with Bromfield[281].  He suggests that “diaconem” indicates holding some lay ecclesiastical position, which recalles the Domesday reference to Robert FitzWimarc having been granted canonical land.]  m ---.  The name of Robert’s wife is not known.  It is possible that she was Beatrice, daughter of ---, who was one of the grandmothers of Robert FitzSwein (see below), as shown by the manuscript recording the priors of Prittlewell which quotes a charter under which “Robertus filius Sueni” founded Prittlewell priory, for the souls of “…aviæ meæ Beatricis[282], but the document does not specify whether she was the founder’s paternal or maternal grandmother.  On the other hand, the Danish name Swein given to Robert’s son suggests that Swein’s mother may have been of Danish ancestry.  Robert & his wife had two children: 

i)          daughter .  Domesday Book records that Edward “the Confessor” King of England, after banishing “Spirites” one of the canons of Bromfield church, Shropshire, granted his land to “Robert fitzWimarc as to a canon” who "gave the same land to his son-in-law" against the wishes of the king who died before the matter was resolved[283].  [same person as...?  --- .  Florence of Worcester names “Rotbertum diaconem et generum eius Ricardum filium Scrob, Ælfredum regis stratorem, Anfridum cognomento Ceocesfot” among the few Normans who were permitted to remain in England after King Edward restored Godwin Earl of Wessex to favour in 1052[284].  As noted above, Eyton identifies “Robertum diaconem” as Robert FitzWimarc and “Ricardum filium Scrob” as his unnamed son-in-law referred to in Domesday[285]m RICHARD FitzScrob, son of --- (-[1067/85]).] 

ii)         SWEIN FitzRobert (-after 1085).  “…Sven fil Roberti, Hugonis de Port, Josfridi de Magna Villa, Willielmi Caticet, Huberti de Port…” witnessed the charter dated to [1070/75] under which William I King of England donated Plumstead to St Augustine’s, Canterbury[286].  Domesday Book records “Swein of Essex” holding Waresley in Huntingdonshire; numerous properties in Essex and Suffolk[287]m ---.  The name of Swein’s wife is not known.  Swein & his wife had two children: 

(a)       WILLIAM FitzSwein .  "…William fitz Suen…" witnessed the charter dated 5 Sep 1082 which records the settlement of a claim by the abbey of Saint-Wandrille about "Oxcessus"[288]

(b)       ROBERT FitzSwein (-after 1130).  A manuscript recording the priors of Prittlewell quotes a charter under which “Robertus filius Sueni” founded Prittlewell priory, for the souls of “…aviæ meæ Beatricis”, witnessed by “Alberico de Ver et Roberto fratre eius…[289]

ROBERT FitzSwein, son of SWEIN FitzRobert & his wife --- (-after 1130).  A manuscript recording the priors of Prittlewell quotes a charter under which “Robertus filius Sueni” founded Prittlewell priory, for the souls of “…aviæ meæ Beatricis”, witnessed by “Alberico de Ver et Roberto fratre eius…[290].  A charter dated 1121 confirmed the possessions of Lewes Priory including the donation of "…Ap P-nciduela monasteriu S. Marie et…monacis cluniacensibus sub sco Pancratio…" by "Robt Sweni filius"[291].  “Rob Waster” donated "duos partes totius decimæ meæ de Wereslai" to St Neot’s, Huntingdonshire, for the soul of “Soeni de Essessa” and for the health of "domini mei Roberti filii prædicti Soeni…Gunnor uxoris suæ…uxoris meæ et Willielmi filii Gerei patris sui", by undated charter[292].  The 1130 Pipe Roll records "Robt fil Sueini" in Wiltshire[293].  The Red Book of the Exchequer refers to "Roberto filio Swein xl s" in Northamptonshire in [1158/59][294].  Lord of Rayleigh, Essex. 

m as her first husband, GUNNOR Bigod, daughter of ROGER Bigod of Earsham, Suffolk & his [second] wife Adelise de Tosny (-before [1137]).  A charter of Hugh Bigod for Norwich Priory refers to property given by “his sister Gunnor”[295].  “Robert de Essex and Gunnora his wife, daughter of Roger Bigod” donated Fremingham church to Thetford priory, Norfolk for the souls of their ancestors and of "their son Henry on his birth-day"[296].  It is not clear from this extract whether Gunnor’s father was named in the original document.  Her first marriage is indicated by the charter of King Henry II which confirmed donations to Thetford Priory, including the donation by “Gunnoræ matris Henrici de Exessa[297].  “Rob Waster” donated "duos partes totius decimæ meæ de Wereslai" to St Neot’s, Huntingdonshire, for the soul of “Soeni de Essessa” and for the health of "domini mei Roberti filii prædicti Soeni…Gunnor uxoris suæ…uxoris meæ et Willielmi filii Gerei patris sui", by undated charter[298].  She married secondly as his first wife, Hamon de Saint-Clair.  Her second husband confirmed grants of her marriage portion in Brome for her soul[299]

Robert & his wife had [three] children: 

1.         [ROBERT de Essex (-[1132/40]) .  Round indicated that the husband of Adelisa de Vere was the same person as Robert FitzSwein who is named above, and that Gunnor Bigod was his first wife and Adelisa his second[300].  However, Domesday Descendants demonstrates convincingly that the husband of Adelisa de Vere is unlikely to have been Robert FitzSwein, who was survived by his widow Gunnor[301].  It suggests that Adelisa’s husband was an older son of Robert FitzSwein who must have died soon after succeeding his father.  m as her first husband, ADELISA de Vere, daughter of AUBREY de Vere Lord of Hedingham & his wife Adelisa de Clare ([1105]-after 1185).  Adelisa’s first marriage is confirmed by the MS. Register of Walden Abbey known by the name of ¿Pentelowe’ which, in a chapter “De Alicia de Essexia”, records “domino quidem suo primo marito Roberto scilicet de Essexia…[302]Eyton mistakenly identifies Adelisa with Cecily, wife of Henry de Essex (see below)[303].  She married secondly Roger FitzRichard Lord of Warkworth.  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"[304]This appears to be the same document quoted (in English translation) by Round: a treatise on the Miracles of St. Osyth, written by [her brother] William de Vere Bishop of Hereford, records “Alice of Essex daughter of Aubrey (de Ver) and Alice, which also records (in Latin) that “Rogerus filius Ricardi, nepos comitis Hugonis Bigot” married “Adelizam filiam Adelizæ[305]William [de Mandeville] Earl of Essex gave to Adilicia of Essex, his mother’s sister, in fre dower, the towne of Aincho, over and above those lands that were given her in dower by Roger Fitz Richard, her lord, undated, witnessed by “Roesia Comitissa…Simon de Beauchamp (his half brother), Geoffrey de Say (his cousin), Geoffrey and William de Vere…[306]The Rotuli de Dominabus of 1185 records property “Arenho” held by “Alicia de Essex…lx annorum…amita comitis Willelmi et soror comitis Albrici”, adding that she had “ii filios milites et i filiam maritatam Johanni Constabulario Cestrie[307].  The same source, in another passage, records that “Alicia de Essex…est iiii.xx annorum” (presumably indicating "4 x 20 years" i.e. 80, which appears to be a more accurate assessment than the statement in the earlier passage that she was 60 years old, given the general chronology of these families) and held “Clavering sicut dotem suam, de feodo Henrici de Essex”, adding that she had “ii filios milites" and land "in comitatu Norhamton…de feodo comitis Willelmi"[308].] 

2.         HENRY de Essex (-after [1163]).  “Robert de Essex and Gunnora his wife, daughter of Roger Bigod” donated Fremingham church to Thetford priory, Norfolk for the souls of their ancestors and of "their son Henry on his birth-day"[309].  A charter of King Henry II confirmed donations to Thetford Priory, including the donation by “Gunnoræ matris Henrici de Exessa[310].  Constable 1154.  “Henricus de Essexa conestabilis regis” donated “locum in mari super Mereseiam ad faciendam piscariam...sicut...habuerunt tempore Rodberti de Essexa patris mei” to Colchester St. John, by undated charter[311].  Lord of Rayleigh and Haughley.  “Henry de Essex, the king’s constable” confirmed his parents’ donation of Fremingham church to Thetford priory, Norfolk for the souls of "Cecily his wife, Henry his son and his other children"[312].  Henry of Essex confirmed the foundation of Monks Horton, Kent, naming “his two sons Henry and Robert”, by undated charter[313]The Chronicle of Jocelin of Brakelond records the trial by combat between "Henry de Essex" and "Robert de Montfort", dated to [1163][314]Eyton provides the background to this event, suggesting that Henry “was forthwith outlawed and his estates confiscated.  His life, forfeit by law, was spared, and he was shorn a monk of Reading” where he died “at a date and in a manner unrecorded[315]m CECILY, daughter of ---.  “Henry de Essex, the king’s constable” confirmed his parents’ donation of Fremingham church to Thetford priory, Norfolk for the souls of "Cecily his wife, Henry his son and his other children"[316].  “Henricus de Essexia” confirmed the donation of "ecclesiam de Walde" to Clerkenwell St Mary’s made by "Cecilia mater mea", by undated charter[317].  As noted above, Eyton identifies Cecily with Adelisa de Vere, supposed with of Robert de Essex (see above)[318], which appears inconsistent with Henry’s daughter Agnes marrying Aubrey [III] de Vere Earl of Oxford (who would have been Adelisa’s brother) as shown below.  Henry & his wife had [five or more] children: 

a)         HENRY de Essex (-after 1210).  “Henry de Essex, the king’s constable” confirmed his parents’ donation of Fremingham church to Thetford priory, Norfolk for the souls of "Cecily his wife, Henry his son and his other children"[319].  Henry of Essex confirmed the foundation of Monks Horton, Kent, naming “his two sons Henry and Robert”, by undated charter[320]Henricus de Essexia” confirmed the donation of "ecclesiam de Walde" to Clerkenwell St Mary’s made by "Cecilia mater mea", by undated charter[321].  The Red Book of the Exchequer records "Henricus de Essex" holding one quarter of one knight’s fee "in Ordewic et Cumbretone" in Cambridgeshire, Huntingdonshire in [1210/12][322]

b)         ROBERT of Essex .  Henry of Essex confirmed the foundation of Monks Horton, Kent, naming “his two sons Henry and Robert”, by undated charter[323]

c)         HUGH de Essex (-after Mar 1194).  “Hugonem de Essexia filium Henrici” assented to the donation of "ecclesiam de Walde" to Clerkenwell St Mary’s made by "Cecilia mater eius et Henricus frater ipsius Hugonis", by charter dated Mar 1194[324]

d)         AGNES de Essex ([1151/52]-after 1206[325], bur Colne Priory).  Earl Aubrey tried to repudiate his third wife within a year but in [1171/72] Alexander III King of Scotland directed the Bishop of London to order Earl Aubrey to take her back[326]m ([1162/63]) as his third wife, AUBREY [III] de Vere Earl of Oxford, son of AUBREY [II] de Vere & his wife Adelisa [Alice] de Clare ([1110]-26 Dec 1194, bur Colne Priory). 

e)         other children .  “Henry de Essex, the king’s constable” confirmed his parents’ donation of Fremingham church to Thetford priory, Norfolk for the souls of "Cecily his wife, Henry his son and his other children"[327]

3.         [GUNNOR .  An undated charter records the settlement of a dispute between the prior of Binham and “Gunnoram de Estsexia” concerning property "villæ…Westleia" donated by “domina Agnes de Valoniis et Robertus de Valoniis filius eius”, witnessed by “…Roberto de Ver, Henrico fratre eius…[328].  The donation in question can be dated to the mid-12th century, but it the charter appears to have been dated later.  According to Domesday Descendants, Gunnor was the daughter of Robert FitzSwein[329].  However, the only authority cited is this undated charter relating to the dispute at Binham which does not name Gunnor’s parents.  It is therefore possible that she was the widow of Robert FitzSwein not his daughter.] 

 

 

 

EWIAS

 

 

HAROLD de Ewias of Ewias Harold, Herefordshire, son of RAOUL de Mantes Earl of Hereford & his wife Gytha --- ([1050/57]-after 1120).  His birth date is estimated from the chronology of his father’s life.  Bannister suggests that Harold “could only have been a boy in January 1066”, adding that “he was then a minor in the wardship of Queen Edith, widow of the Confessor and daughter of Earl Godwin[330].  Bannister does not cite the corresponding primary source, but this must be Domesday Book for Middlesex which states that "Harold the son of Earl Ralph, of whom Queen Edith had the custody together with the manor on the day on which King Edward was alive and dead" had held “Ebury” before the conquest[331].  Freeman states that "Harold the son of Ralph" is named in Domesday in Gloucestershire, Worcester, Warwickshire and Middlesex[332].   Domesday Book records that "Harold son of Earl Ralph holds Sudeley of the king. Ralph his father held it...[and] Toddington" in Gloucestershire; Droitwich in Worcestershire; Chilvers Cotton and Burton Dassett in Warwickshire[333].  Lord of Ewias, Herefordshire after 1086: Bannister comments that “exactly how or when Harold became possessed of this Ewias land it is not possible to explain[334].  The Historia sancti Petri Gloucestriæ records that "Haraldus dominus de Ewyas" donated "ecclesiam Sancti Michaelis, Diveles cum capella Sancti Nicholai de Castro, capellam Sancti Jacobi de Ewyas, capellam Sanctæ Kaenæ cum capella de Caneros…decimam annonæ suæ venationis suæ…ecclesiam de Foy…ecclesiam de Alyngetone et ecclesiam de Burnham" in 1100, confirmed by "Theobaldo Cantuarensi archiepiscopo tempore Hamelini abbatis" [abbot from 1148 to 1179][335].  "Haraldus de Ewyas" donated "ecclesiam Sancti Michaelis de Ewyas…decimam de domino castelli de Ewyas…" to Gloucester St Peter, confirmed by "Roberto herede meo", by undated charter, witnessed by "Rogerus, Johannes, Alexander et Willelmus filii mei…"[336]

m ---.  The name of Harold’s wife is not known.  Bannister speculates that she was “Alveva uxor Heraldi”, holding lands in Buckinghamshire “near to the lands once held by Harold’s mother Gueth” in Domesday Book[337].  He does not specify the land, but presumably it is "in Tyringham Acard holds of William", Domesday Book specifying that “this manor 5 thegns held: one of them Harold had 3 hides...and Æelfgifu wife of Harold 11/2 hides as 1 manor[338].  As the latter part of the entry in question clearly relates to the pre-conquest holding, Bannister has misinterpreted the section and his speculation should be ignored.

FITZERNEIS

 

 

Vautier suggests that part of the seigneurie de Fontenay was transferred to the FitzErneis family from the Marmion family with the marriage of Gersende Marmion, daughter of Robert Marmion [I], to Robert [II] FitzErneis[465]

 

 

ROBERT [I] FitzErneis, son of ERNEIS [Taisson] & his wife --- (-killed in battle Hastings 17 Oct 1066).  The Chronique de Normandie, based on le Roman de Rou, records that King Harold II was killed at Hastings by "un chevalier…Robert fils Herveis"[466].  He is named in a charter dated 1217 under which "Robertus filius Erneisi sextus" confirmed donations to Fontenay by "antecessore meo bonæ memoriæ Roberto filio Erneisi secundo", which quotes the donation by "Robertus pater meus" for the soul of "uxoris suæ Hacintæ" and comments that "patre meo in Anglia occiso"[467]

m [HACINTA, daughter of ---.  She is named in a charter dated 1217 under which "Robertus filius Erneisi sextus" confirmed donations to Fontenay by "antecessore meo bonæ memoriæ Roberto filio Erneisi secundo", which quotes the donation by "Robertus pater meus" for the soul of "uxoris suæ Hacintæ"[468].  However, the apparent clarity of this statement is confused by an earlier passage which records the original donation by "Robertus filius Erneisi, filii Radulphi Andegavensis et Alpaidis…et filius Hacintæ sororis antiqui Fulconis de Alnon".  The latter text refers to Robert [I] FitzErneis.  The strict conclusion from the two passages is that both Erneis and his son Robert [I] FitzErneis were married to persons named Hacinta.  However, this appears to be a strange coincidence.  It is possible that there is some confusion in the wording of the charter and that only either Erneis or Robert [I] was married to a wife named Hacinta.] 

Robert [I] & his wife had one child: 

1.         ROBERT [II] FitzErneis (-after 1091).  He is named in a charter dated 1217 under which "Robertus filius Erneisi sextus" confirmed donations to Fontenay by "antecessore meo bonæ memoriæ Roberto filio Erneisi secundo", which quotes the donation by "Robertus…et Gersendis uxor mea filia Roberti Marmionis"[469].  Vaultier dates this donation quoted in the charter to after 1087[470].  "…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[471]m ([before 1087]) GERSENDE Marmion, daughter of ROBERT [I] Marmion & his wife Hawise ---.  She is named in a charter dated 1217 under which "Robertus filius Erneisi sextus" confirmed donations to Fontenay by "antecessore meo bonæ memoriæ Roberto filio Erneisi secundo", which quotes the donation by "Robertus…et Gersendis uxor mea filia Roberti Marmionis"[472].  Robert [II] & his wife had [two] children: 

a)         ROBERT [III] FitzErneis ([1080/1100]-killed in battle Audrieu).  The 1130 Pipe Roll records "Robt fil Ernuceon" in London[473].  Henry II King of England confirmed the property of Savigny abbey, including the donation by "Roberti filii Ernesii" of "terram de Basenvilla", by charter dated to [1156/58][474].  He is named in a charter dated 1217 under which "Robertus filius Erneisi sextus" confirmed donations to Fontenay by "antecessore meo bonæ memoriæ Roberto filio Erneisi secundo", which records the donation by "Roberti filii Erneisi tertii, qui occisus fuit apud Audreium"[475].  [Henry II King of England confirmed the possessions of the abbey of Barbery, including donations by "Roberti filii Erneis, nepotis Willelmi de Curceio", by charter dated to [1182/89][476].  It has not yet been ascertained which of the Robert FitzErneis was related to Guillaume de Courcy (either Guillaume [I] or Guillaume [II], see above), presumably through his mother assuming that "nepotis" can be interpreted as nephew or grandson in this document.]  m ADELICIA, daughter of ---.  A charter dated 1217, under which "Robertus filius Erneisi sextus" confirmed donations to Fontenay by his predecessors (expanded version), records that "avus meus Robertus filius Erneisi quartus" donated property for the soul of "matris suæ Adeliciæ"[477].  Robert [III] & his wife had one child: 

i)          ROBERT [IV] Fitz Erneis ([1110/20]-).  He is named in a charter dated 1217 under which "Robertus filius Erneisi sextus" confirmed donations to Fontenay by "antecessore meo bonæ memoriæ Roberto filio Erneisi secundo", which records the donation by "Roberti filii Erneisi tertii, qui occisus fuit apud Audreium" and by "avus meus Robertus filius Erneisi quartus"[478].  The document does not specify that Robert [IV] was the son of Robert [III], but the point is clarified in another expanded version of the same charter dated 1217 which in addition records the donations by "Roberti filii Erneisi tertii" and immediately afterwards by "avus meus Robertus filius Erneisi quartus" for the soul of "eiusdem patris sui"[479]

ROBERT [IV] Fitz Erneis, son of ROBERT [III] FitzErneis & his wife Adelicia --- ([1110/20]-).  He is named in a charter dated 1217 under which "Robertus filius Erneisi sextus" confirmed donations to Fontenay by "antecessore meo bonæ memoriæ Roberto filio Erneisi secundo", which records the donation by "Roberti filii Erneisi tertii, qui occisus fuit apud Audreium" and by "avus meus Robertus filius Erneisi quartus"[483].  The document does not specify that Robert [IV] was the son of Robert [III], but the point is clarified in another expanded version of the same charter dated 1217 which in addition records the donations by "Roberti filii Erneisi tertii" and immediately afterwards by "avus meus Robertus filius Erneisi quartus" for the soul of "eiusdem patris sui"[484]

Robert [IV] & his wife had two children:    

1.         ROBERT [V] FitzErneis ([1135/45]-).  He is named in a charter dated 1217 under which "Robertus filius Erneisi sextus" confirmed donations to Fontenay by "antecessore meo bonæ memoriæ Roberto filio Erneisi secundo", which records the donation by "Roberti filii Erneisi tertii, qui occisus fuit apud Audreium" and by "patris meæ laudabilis memoriæ Roberti filii Erneisi quinti" of "in territorio de Barnevilla acram sancti Richerii et in territorio de Fontaneto" for the soul of "matris suæ Rohasiæ de Corceio"[486]m ---.  The name of Robert’s wife is not known.  Robert [V] & his wife had two children: 

a)         ROBERT [VI] FitzErneis ([1160/70]-before [1220]).  The 1194/95 Pipe Roll records "Robertus f Ærnisi…pro habenda terra que fuit Eudonis f Ærnisi avunculi sui cuius heres ipse est" in Essex & Hertfordshire[487].  "Robertus filius Erneisi sextus" confirmed donations to Fontenay by "antecessore meo bonæ memoriæ Roberto filio Erneisi secundo" by charter dated 1217[488]m ([1180/90]) HELIE [Ela] d'Alençon, daughter of JEAN [I] Comte d'Alençon & his wife Beatrix de Maine [Anjou] (-after May 1233).  Her parentage and marriage are indicated by three charters read together.  Hemericus vicecomes Castri-Eraudi, Ala uxor quondam Roberti filii Ernesii, et Robertus Malet" relinquished "castrum de Esseio" in return for "terram et redditus apud Escocheium" by charter dated to [1220][489]The family relationship between the three participants is explained in another charter dated to [1220] which records that Hemerico vicecomiti Castri-Eraudi, Alæ uxori Roberti Ernesii et Roberto Malet, Roberti comitis Alenconii heredibus" assigned property for "castri de Esseio"[490].  “Hemericus vicecomes Castri-Eraudi et Hela soror Roberti quondam comitis de Alencon et Robertus Malet" relinquished "forestam…Escoves et hayam de Ferraria et forestam de Chaumont et forestam de Ruppe-Heolydis, usque in Sarton…de dominio de Alenconio" by charter dated Jan 1220 (probably O.S.)[491]

1.         WILLIAM FitzErneis (-1178).  The 1169/70 Pipe Roll records "Wills fil Ernisi" owing ".c. s p recto de tra aui sui, p pleg Thome fil Rob" in Yorkshire[499].  A charter dated 1217, under which "Robertus filius Erneisi sextus" confirmed donations to Fontenay by his predecessors (expanded version), confirms the donation of "supra Bellum-montem…septem acras terræ" made by "Willelmi de Villariis" for the soul of "Willelmi filii Erneisi"[500]m as her first husband, NICOLE de la Haye, daughter of RICHARD de la Haye & his wife Mathilde [de Vernon] (-Nov 1230).  She married secondly Gerard de Camville.  William & his wife had [two children]: 

a)         daughter .  Her parentage is confirmed by the order dated 1200 under which "Rob de Meisy" paid a fine to marry "filia filie Nicolæ ux Gerarld de Canvill" who was in "custodia Willelmus de Bretvill" in Norfolk[501].  The date suggests that Robert de Meisey’s mother-in-law must have been the daughter of Nicole de la Haye by her first marriage.  m ---.  One child: 

i)          daughter .  "Rob de Meisy" paid a fine to marry "filia filie Nicolæ ux Gerarld de Canvill" who was in "custodia Willelmus de Bretvill" in Norfolk, dated 1200[502]m ([1200]) ROBERT de Meisy, son of ---.  King John granted “terram que fuit Gaufridi de Lucy in Hailes [Gloucestershire]” to “Roberto de Meisy”, dated 9 Nov 1215[503]

b)         [---.  m ---.  One child:] 

i)          [---.  m ---.  One child:] 

(a)       [NICOLE --- (-after 1231).  The parentage of Nicole, first wife of Oliver [III] de Aincourt, is not known.  Her suggested family origin shown here is based on the following argument.  Bracton records a claim, dated 1231, in which "Willelmus Longespei et Idonea uxor eius" were summoned by "Oliuero de Ayncurt et Nicholæ uxori eius" who claimed "manerium de Dudingtona", under "cartam Nicholæ de Haya avie ipsius Idonee cuius heres ipsa est", while recording the division of the inheritance between "filias et heredes Ricardi de la Haya, scil. Gerardum de Kaunuilla et Nicholaam uxorem eius Ricardum de Humaz et Juliam uxorem eius et Willelmum de Rullos et Isabellam uxorem eius"[504]The precise family relationship, if any, between Oliver [III] and his wife, on the one hand, and the other persons named in the 1231 claim, on the other, is not specified.  However, Bracton’s summary also refers to an order of King Richard I relating to the La Haye inheritance, which was maybe the charter dated 1189 under which the king confirmed the inheritance by "Gerardo de Canuilla et Nicolæ uxori sue" of all her inheritance in England and Normandy from "Rob de Haia et R[ic] de Haia", including "constabularia castelli Lincoln" and land at Poupeville and Varreville[505].  As Gerard de Camville was Nicole de la Haye’s second husband, this 1189 order apparently excluded the potential rights of Nicole’s descendants by her first husband William FitzErneis: maybe the “cartam Nicholæ de Haya”, cited by Bracton, was Nicole’s attempt to remedy this omission.  If that is correct, it is possible that Oliver [III]’s first wife was the older Nicole’s only surviving descendant from her first marriage.  Maybe Nicole was the daughter of Robert de Meisy, whose marriage to Nicole de la Haye’s granddaughter by her first marriage is noted above, a suggestion which is consistent with the date of Nicole’s marriage which is indicated by a charter dated 29 Jan 1222 which records an agreement between Hugh Bishop of Lincoln and “Oliverum de Aencurt tenentem de toto manerio de Woburn” concerning their respective rights in the manor, in the presence and with the consent of “Nicholaa uxor predicti Oliveri[506]m (before 29 Jan 1222) as his first wife, OLIVER [III] de Aincourt, son of OLIVER [II] de Aincourt & his first wife --- ([1190/91?]-[late 1246/early 1247]).]

2.         EUDES FitzErneis (-after 1210).  The Red Book of the Exchequer records that "Willelmus Longa Spada" granted knights’ fees in Essex, Hertfordshire to "Olyvero filio Ernisii", and after the death of the latter to "Eudo filius Ernisii mediatem Eudoni Patric", in [1210/12][509]

FITZHERBERT

 

 

1.         HENRYm ---.  The name of Henry’s wife is not known.  Henry & his wife had [two] children: 

a)         HERBERT FitzHenry (-[1129/30]).  The primary source which confirms his parentage has not yet been identified.  

-        see below

 

 

HERBERT FitzHenry, son of HENRY & his wife --- (-[1129/30]).  The primary source which confirms his parentage has not yet been identified.  [Domesday Book records land held by “Herbert the Chamberlain” in Rhode and Selborne in Neatham Hundred, Soberton in Meonstoke Hundred in Hampshire[569].  It is not known whether these entries relate to the future chamberlain of King Henry I.]  Chamberlain of Henry I King of England from 1101.  "…Herbertus regis camerarius…" subscribed a charter dated Sep 1101 under which Bishop Herbert donated property to Norwich priory[570].  The Hyde Register lists "Herbertus camerarius, Arnulfus filius eius, Emma uxor eius" immediately after the names of King Henry I and his first wife[571].  An undated charter of Thomas Archbishop of York records that "domino Herberto Camerario et filio eius" were enfeoffed with "Laudesbrough, cum Tolethorpe, Wiverthorpe cum Helperthorp et duabus Luttunis in Turgisleby" and other properties in Yorkshire and in Gloucestershire, witnessed by "…Herbertus filius…"[572].  The 1130 Pipe Roll records "Herb Camer" in Bedfordshire and Warwickshire[573].  As his son appears in the same source holding lands of his father, it is assumed that Herbert FitzHenry died during the course of that year. 

m EMMA, daughter of ---.  The Hyde Register lists "Herbertus camerarius, Arnulfus filius eius, Emma uxor eius" immediately after the names of King Henry I and his first wife[574].  Secondary sources state that she was Emma de Blois, illegitimate daughter of Etienne Comte de Blois & his mistress ---.  This is presumably based on the Chronicle of Meaux, in Yorkshire, which names "comitis --- Herberti filius, ex Emma sorore regis Anglorum Stephani progenitus"[575].  As this source is dated to [1394/1400], it is unlikely to be conclusive in relation to events which occurred 250 years earlier in the absence of other corroborative evidence.  Eyton includes no reference to any wife of Herbert FitzHenry in his article on the barony of FitzHerbert[576].  Until further evidence comes to light, it is suggested that the information be considered with caution.  If it is correct, the chronology of the FitzHerbert family dictates that Emma must have been born while her supposed father was still young, maybe even before his marriage to Adela of England in 1080. 

Herbert & his wife had six children: 

1.         ARNULF .  The Hyde Register lists "Herbertus camerarius, Arnulfus filius eius, Emma uxor eius" immediately after the names of King Henry I and his first wife[577]

2.         RICHARD .  The Descriptio militum de Abbatia de Burgo records "Ricardus filius Hereberti Camerarii" with "feodum dimidii militis" held from "abbatia de Burch" [in Hampshire][578]

3.         HERBERT FitzHerbert [I] (-[before 1155]).  The 1130 Pipe Roll records "Herbt fil Herbti Camer…tra patis sui" in Hampshire[579].  An undated charter of Thomas Archbishop of York records that "domino Herberto Camerario et filio eius" were enfeoffed with "Laudesbrough, cum Tolethorpe, Wiverthorpe cum Helperthorp et duabus Luttunis in Turgisleby" and other properties in Yorkshire and in Gloucestershire, witnessed by "…Herbertus filius…"[580]"…Hereberto filio Hereberti…" subscribed a charter of Renaud Earl of Cornwall which names "matertere mee Aliz Corbet"[581]m ([1115/25]) SIBYL Corbet Lady of Alcester and Pontesbury, formerly mistress of HENRY I King of England, daughter of ROBERT Corbet of Alcester, co Warwick & his wife --- ([1090/95]-after 1157).  The Complete Peerage deduces her parentage, relationship with King Henry, and her subsequent 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…"[582]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 Pipe Roll of 1157 records a payment to "the mother of Earl Reginald" from an estate at Mienes, Sussex[583].  Herbert & his wife had [five] children: 

a)         ROBERT FitzHerbert (-before 1165).  Henry II King of England restored properties of "Roberto filio Hereberti Camerarii", held by "pater suus vel avus suus", by charter dated to [Feb/Mar] 1155, witnessed by "…Rainaldo comite Cornubie…Johanne Marescallo"[584].  Chamberlain of King Henry II.  The Red Book of the Exchequer refers to "Robertus filius Herberti v m ii milites et dimidium" in Wiltshire in [1160/61] and [1161/62][585].  [The 1176/77 Pipe Roll names "Robertus filius Herberti" in Hampshire[586].] 

b)         HERBERT FitzHerbert [II] ([1125/35]-before 18 Jul 1204).  “Willelmus filius Hugonis de Bridssale” donated property “de feudo Herberti filii Herberti” to Watton convent by charter dated to [1175/95][587].  His birth date range is estimated based on the latest birth date of his wife, bearing in mind the probable date of birth of his half-brother Renaud Earl of Cornwall and his own date of death.

c)         HENRY FitzHerbert (-after 1171).  The Red Book of the Exchequer refers to "Henricus filius Herberti v m ii milites et dimidium" in Wiltshire in [1160/61][588].  The Red Book of the Exchequer refers to "Henricus filius Herberti xx s" in Wiltshire in [1171/72][589]

d)         [WILLIAM (-after 1187).  "…Herberto filio Herberti…Willielmo fratre meo…" subscribed the charter, dated to [1163/75], under which "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[590]Military fee certifications in the Red Book of the Exchequer, in 1166, record that "Willelmus frater comitis Reginaldi" held half of one knight’s fee from "Roberti filii Regis" in Devon[591]Benedict of Peterborough records that Henry II King of England granted the kingdom of Limerick to "Hereberti filio Hereberti, et Willelmo fratri comitis Reginaldi, et Joellano de la Pumerai nepoti eorum" at a council in Oxford in May 1177, but that "Herbertus et Willelmus, fratres Reginaldi comitis Cornubiæ, et Joellanus de Pumeria nepos eorum" declined it at a council at Marlborough 3 Jun 1177[592].  None of the primary sources so far consulted conclusively indicates whether William was the full brother of Earl Renaud or his half-brother by their mother’s marriage to Herbert FitzHerbert.  However, the order in which the individuals are named in the documents quoted above suggests that William was younger than Herbert, in which case it is more likely that he was the uterine brother of the earl.  The question has been confused by the possible co-identity between William, brother of Earl Renaud, and Willliam brother of Sibyl Queen of Scotland.  However, as discussed in the document ENGLAND KINGS 1066-1603, the chronology is unfavourable for this co-identity to be correct.  Henry II King of England confirmed the possessions of the abbey of la Trinité de Caen, including the donation by "Willelmi filii Herberti" of "decimam…in Willun", by charter dated to [1180/82][593]m ALICE, daughter of ---.  "Willelmus de Marisco frater Reginaldi comitis Cornubie" names his wife Alice in a charter[594].] 

e)         [ROHESE (-1176).  The parentage of Rohese is uncertain.  Renaud Earl of Cornwall granted Roseworthy manor in Cornwall to his sister "Rohesia de Pomeria" in a charter[595].  The wife of Henry de la Pomerai was either Rohese, illegitimate daughter of Henry I King of England & his mistress Sibyl Corbet, or Sibyl’s daughter by her husband Herbert FitzHerbert.  m HENRY [I] de la Pomerai, son of JOSCELIN de la Pomerai & his wife Emma --- (-[1156/64]).] 

4.         WILLIAM FitzHerbert (-8 Jun 1154).  The 1130 Pipe Roll records "Willo fil Herb" in Wiltshire[596].  Stephen King of England granted property "ecclesiam de Wiverthorpe, ecclesiam de Laudesbrough et ecclesiam de Clera", held by "Herberti fratris eius", to "Willielmus thesaurarius Eborum, capellanus meus"[597]Archbishop of York 1143-1153.  Bishop of Durham 1153-1154.  John of Fordun’s Scotichronicon (Continuator) records the death in 1154 "infra ablutiones liquore lethali infectus" of "Willelmus Cumyn Eboracensis archiepiscopus"[598]

5.         daughter .  The 1130 Pipe Roll records "Robt de Venuiz…p filia Herbt Camer cu dote sua" in Hampshire[599], which suggests that the marriage had been recent.  m ([1129/30]) ROBERT de Venuiz, son of ---. 

6.         daughter .  The 1130 Pipe Roll records "Wills Croc…p filia Herb Camer cu maritag suo" in Berkshire[600], which suggests that the marriage had been recent.  m ([1129/30]) WILLIAM Croc, son of ---. 

 

 

1.         STEPHEN .  His name, as well as that of his son Ralph, suggests a family connection with Herbert, father of Stephen who is shown below.  m ---.  The name of Stephen’s wife is not known.  Stephen & his wife had [three] children: 

a)         RALPH FitzStephen (-after 1166).  Military fee certifications in the Red Book of the Exchequer, in 1166, record that "Radulfus filius Stephani" held one knight’s fee from the bishop of Exeter in Devon[601]

1.         HERBERT (-[1160]).  Chamberlain of David I King of Scotland and of Malcolm IV King of Scotland.  He is first recorded as chamberlain in a charter dated to [1126] under which King David granted privileges to the church of St Andrews, witnessed by "Herberto camerario"[604].]  m ([1130/35]) MILLICENT, niece of William Turniant, daughter of ---.  A charter of King John includes a notice that King Henry I granted "Millicent niece of William Turniant, with the land of William and Richard his brother, and of Osbert the sheriff their father, including Marston [co. Lincs]" to "Herbert the chamberlain", dated to [1130/35][605].  The husband of Millicent has been identified as Herbert the Chamberlain of Scotland[606].  If the grant is correctly dated, "Herbert the chamberlain" could not have been Herbert FitzHenry who died in 1129.  It could not have been his son Herbert FitzHerbert either, as he was already then married to his wife Sibyl who survived him.  Herbert & his wife had one child: 

a)         STEPHEN FitzHerbert (-after 1190).  “Stephanus filius Herberti camerarii regis Stephani” confirmed a donation to St Mary, Thornton by charter dated to [1154/70][607].  Chamberlain of Malcolm IV King of Scotland: "Stephanus filius Hereberti camerarii regis Scotie" confirmed a donation to Kirkstead abbey by "Gregorius" by charter dated 31 Jan 1160[608].  "…Stephano filio camerarii" witnessed the charter dated 1163 under which "[Rodbertus] Marmiun" donated land in Roughton to Kirkstead abbey[609].  “Stephanus filius Herberti camerarii” made a return of knights’ fees dated 1166[610].  The Red Book of the Exchequer refers to "Stephanus filius Herberti Camerarii xvi s vii d" in Yorkshire in [1167/68][611].  The Red Book of the Exchequer refers to "Stephanus filius Herberti xxiv s iv d, de novo xx s" in Yorkshire in [1171/72][612].  The Red Book of the Exchequer, listing scutage payments in [1190/91], records "Stephanus filius Herberti" paying "xi s viii d" in Yorkshire[613]m ---.  The name of Stephen’s wife is not known.  Stephen & his wife had [six] children:

FITZWALTER (of Caen)

 

 

 

The precise parentage of Robert FitzWalter has not been identified.  His naming his son Simon suggests that he may have been related to the family of Robert FitzWalter of Woodham Walter (see Part A above) in which the name Simon also appears.  Robert FitzWalter’s son Simon was referred to as “Simon de Chesney” in one charter (see below).  Another possibility is therefore that Robert FitzWalter de Caen was the same person as Robert FitzWalter of Horsford, whose children adopted the name Chesney after their mother’s family (see UNTITLED ENGLISH NOBILITY – CHESNEY of HORSFORD). 

 

 

1.         ROBERT FitzWalter of Caen .  "Robertus filius Walteri et Avelina uxor sua" donated "ecclesiam de Northona" to Gloucester St Peter by undated charter[818].  A family connection between Robert FitzWalter and the Giffard family of Gloucestershire is suggested by the undated charter under which "Walterus Giffardus" granted land "in Ullingwike", including part "quæ fuit Roberti filii Walterii", to "Gilberto Giffardo fratri meo"[819]m firstly as her second husband, ADELINE [Aveline], widow of ALAIN FitzFlaald, daughter of ARNOUL de Hesdin [en Picardie] & his wife Emmeline --- (-after 1126).  “Alanus filius Flaaldi et Adelina uxor mea” donated property to Castle Acre Priory by undated charter[820].  Her parentage is confirmed by Orderic Vitalis who records that Ernulf de Hesdin was avunculus of "William fitz Alan castellan and vicecomes of Shrewsbury"[821].  It is assumed that her [first] marriage took place early in the reign of Henry I King of England, who sponsored her husband’s rise to prominence in England as shown by the king’s charters in which he is named.  Eyton states that Dugdale intimates that "Dame Adeliza" who donated land at Wolston to Burton abbey, by charter dated to before 1114, was Alan FitzFlaad’s widow and the mother of "Sibil" who with her husband Roger de Freville confirmed her mother’s donation by charter dated 1132[822].  Henry I King of England confirmed an agreement between the bishop of Norwich and "Avelinam de Hesding" concerning "terra de Ettona" by charter dated to [1121/27][823].  A charter of Henry II King of England, dated 1176, recites donations to Haughmond abbey including that of "Willielmus filius Alani" of "terram de Piperinges" previously enjoyed by "Aveline matris ipsius Willielmi filius Alani"[824].  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"[825].  "Robertus filius Walteri et Avelina uxor sua" donated "ecclesiam de Northona" to Gloucester St Peter by undated charter[826].  “Margareta uxor Hamonis de Sancto Claro” donated “Stoches...manerium meum cum suis appendiciis de Sudfolchia et Norfolc...sicut...michi pater meus concessit” to Colchester St. John, for the souls of “patris mei Roberti et Aueline matris mee et Johannis fratris mei”, by undated charter[827]m secondly ---.  Robert & his first wife had one child: 

a)         MARGARET (-bur Colchester St. John).  “Hamo de Sancto Claro” donated “manerium de Stoches” to Colchester St. John, at the request of “Margarete uxoris mee cujus maritagium illud manerium erat”, by undated charter, witnessed by “...Symon frater Margarete...[828].  “Margareta uxor Hamonis de Sancto Claro” donated “Stoches...manerium meum cum suis appendiciis de Sudfolchia et Norfolc...sicut...michi pater meus concessit” to Colchester St. John for her burial there, and for the souls of “patris mei Roberti et Aueline matris mee et Johannis fratris mei” and for the salvation of “viri mei Hamonis” and with his consent, by undated charter, witnessed by “Hubertus de Sancto Claro, Symon frater meus...[829].  “Simon de Caisneto” confirmed that “Margareta uxor Hamonis de Sancto Claro mea soror in infirmitate qua mortua est” donated “manerium de Stochis” to Colchester St. John for her burial there, by undated charter[830]m ([1137]) as his second wife, HAMON de Saint-Clair, son of --- (-after 1139). 

Robert & his [first/second] wife had two children: 

b)         JOHN .  “Margareta uxor Hamonis de Sancto Claro” donated “Stoches...manerium meum cum suis appendiciis de Sudfolchia et Norfolc...sicut...michi pater meus concessit” to Colchester St. John for her burial there, and for the souls of “patris mei Roberti et Aueline matris mee et Johannis fratris mei” and for the salvation of “viri mei Hamonis” and with his consent, by undated charter, witnessed by “Hubertus de Sancto Claro, Symon frater meus...[831]

c)         SIMON [de Chesney] .  “Hamo de Sancto Claro” donated “manerium de Stoches” to Colchester St. John, at the request of “Margarete uxoris mee cujus maritagium illud manerium erat”, by undated charter, witnessed by “...Symon frater Margarete...[832].  “Margareta uxor Hamonis de Sancto Claro” donated “Stoches...manerium meum cum suis appendiciis de Sudfolchia et Norfolc...sicut...michi pater meus concessit” to Colchester St. John for her burial there, and for the souls of “patris mei Roberti et Aueline matris mee et Johannis fratris mei” and for the salvation of “viri mei Hamonis” and with his consent, by undated charter, witnessed by “Hubertus de Sancto Claro, Symon frater meus...[833].  “Simon de Caisneto” confirmed that “Margareta uxor Hamonis de Sancto Claro mea soror in infirmitate qua mortua est” donated “manerium de Stochis” to Colchester St. John for her burial there, by undated charter[834]

B.      DESCENDANTS of WILLIAM FITZGODRIC

 

 

1.         GODRIC .  Baildon names “Godric son of Ketelborn…born about 1110-1115”, adding that “There is no direct record of him, unless he is identical with the Godric son of Chetelbert…in the Pipe Roll…1129-30”, although he thought that “Ketelborn and Chetelbert were probably distinct persons, though it is possible that one or other spelling may be a clerical error[846]: the 1128/30 Pipe Roll records "Godric fil Chetelbti" returning in Yorkshire (no place specified)[847]m ---.  The name of Godric’s wife is not known.  Godric & his wife had one child: 

a)         WILLIAM FitzGodric ([1140?]-before 1200).  Baildon suggests that William “was probably born about 1140”, noting that he was first named in the 1169/70 Pipe Roll, and was also named in 1170/71, 1171/72, 1172/73, 1174/75, 1175/76, 1176/77, and 1177/78[848].  "Willelmus filius Godrici" paid a fine for his marriage with "matre Johannis constabularii" in 1178[849]m ([1178]) as her fourth husband, AUBREYE de Lisours, widow firstly of RICHARD FitzEustache, secondly of WILLIAM de Clairfait, thirdly of GEOFFREY de Cauz, 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[850]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[851]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[852].  "Willelmus filius Godrici" paid a fine for his marriage with "matre Johannis constabularii" in 1178[853]A charter dated 1194 records a final agreement relating to a dispute between Albredam de Lisores et Rogerum constabularium Cestrie nepotem suum” concerning the land of “Roberti de Lasci”, also naming “Roberti de Lisores patris ipsius Albrede” and “Willelmus filius prefate Albrede[854].  William & his wife had one child:

The order of William’s marriages has not been confirmed:

m [firstly/secondly] MATILDA, daughter of ---.  She is named as William’s wife in the 1331 charter quoted under her husband. 

m [firstly/secondly] as her second husband, ELA de Warenne, widow of ROBERT de Newburn, daughter of HAMELIN d’Anjou Earl of Surrey & his [second] wife Isabel de Warenne of Surrey.  The Complete Peerage names “Ela” as daughter of Earl William and her husbands firstly “Robert de Newburn of whom nothing is known” and secondly “William FitzWilliam of Sprotborough” (no source cited)[860].  The primary source which confirms her parentage and two marriages has not yet been identified.  

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

1.         THOMAS FitzWilliam ([1195/1200]-after 1253).  His parentage is confirmed by the charter dated 1331 (quoted in full below) under which [his grandson] “Willielmus filius Willielmi dominus de Sprotburgh” confirmed donations to Hampole Priory made by (4) “Thomæ filii Willielmi” who confirmed the donation made by “Albredæ de Lisours aviæ suæ, et Willielmi patris sui[861].  Lord of Spotborough.  Baildon cites other documents dated 1226 and 1253 which name Thomas[862]m AGNES Bertram, daughter of ROGER Bertram Baron of Mitford & his wife ---.  Baildon records her parentage and marriage, noting that she was her father’s eventual co-heir (no sources cited)[863].  Her parentage and marriage are stated by Barron (no sources cited)[864].  Thomas & his wife had [four] children: 

a)         WILLIAM FitzThomas (-before 18 Jul 1294).  His parentage is confirmed by the charter dated 1331 (quoted in full below) under which [his grandson] “Willielmus filius Willielmi dominus de Sprotburgh” confirmed donations to Hampole Priory made by (5) “Willielmi filii Thomæ, domini de Sprotbrugh, patris mei” confirming the donation of the revenue from “Athewyks[865].  He was named as deceased in the 18 Jul 1294 document cited below under his son William.  m AGNES Metham, daughter of Sir JOHN Metham & his wife ---.  Baildon records her parentage and marriage (no sources cited)[866].  William & his wife had one child:

-        see below.    

b)         EDMUND FitzThomas (-after 18 Jul 1294).  A document dated 18 Jul 1294 records a bond from “John Sampson of York, knt., to William FitzWilliam, lord of Emelay…Robert Tilly and Edmund FitzThomas, executors of the will of William FitzThomas of Sproteburgh” relating to certain debts[868]

c)         [ROGER FitzThomas “de la Woodhall” (-after 1302).  “William FitzWilliam of Emmeley” claimed “on a settlement made by Roger FitzThomas de la Woodhalle” and half of the advowson of the church of Darfield in 1302 “Eastern Term[869].  It has not been confirmed that Roger was the son of Thomas FitzWilliam.] 

d)         DENISE .  The Complete Peerage records that Thomas FitzWilliam granted land in Barnborough and Darfield to his daughter “Dionis (widow of Robert Deyvile)” who gave Darfield to her son Adam, and also provides some details about her descendants[870]m (1229 or before) ROBERT de Daiville [Deiville], son of ---. 

 

 

WILLIAM FitzWilliam, son of WILLIAM FitzThomas & his wife Agnes Metham (-[11 Apr 1340/1342]).  A document dated 18 Jul 1294 records a bond from “John Sampson of York, knt., to William FitzWilliam, lord of Emelay…Robert Tilly and Edmund FitzThomas, executors of the will of William FitzThomas of Sproteburgh” relating to certain debts[871].  “William FitzWilliam of Emmeley” claimed “on a settlement made by Roger FitzThomas de la Woodhalle” and half of the advowson of the church of Darfield in 1302 “Easter Term[872].  “William FitzWilliam” presented “Oliver de Eyncourt to the rectory of Emley” Dec 1313[873].  By order dated 18 Jun 1317, “Edmund Deyncourt” was licenced “to enfeoff William son of William de Elmeleye” with land “in Elmeton, co. Derby, held in chief”, and for him “to re-grant the same to the said Edmund for life, with successive remainders to Hamo de Masey and Joan, his wife, for her life, and upon her death to Isabella, daughter of Edmund son of John Deyncourt, and the heirs male of her body, and, failing such issue, to the said Edmund and his heirs[874].  A licence dated 15 Oct 1324 permitted “William FitzWilliam” to settle the manors of “Emley and Darrington on himself and Isabel his wife and the heirs of their bodies, with remainder to his own right heirs” with remainders in succession to “John FitzWilliam and Thomas his brother and the heirs male of their bodies”, with William retaining the manors of “Dalton and Sprotburgh in Yorkshire and Plumtree and Hucknall, co. Notts[875].  The Complete Peerage records that “Willelmo filio Willelmi” was summoned for military service against the Scots 5 Apr 1327[876]. “Sir William FitzWilliam of Hemeley, John his son, and Brian de Thornill, fled for the death of Sir Richard Plaiz, killed at Helaw” in 1327[877].   “Willielmus filius Willielmi dominus de Sprotburgh”, by charter dated 1331, confirmed donations to Hampole Priory made by (1) "Albredæ de Lisours…ecclesiam de Athewiks”; (2) by “Johannis constabularii Cestriæ filii dictæ Albredæ” confirming his mother’s donation of “predictæ ecclesiæ de Athewiks”; (3) by “Willielmi filii Willielmi, filii et hæredis prædictæ Albredæ de Lisours…" who also confirmed his mother’s donation of “ecclesia de Athewyks” and in addition donated revenue from “apud Plomtre, juxta Scroby” for lighting a lamp “ad tumbam Matildis quondam uxoris suæ”; (4) by “Thomæ filii Willielmi” who confirmed the donation made by “Albredæ de Lisours aviæ suæ, et Willielmi patris sui”; (5) by “Willielmi filii Thomæ, domini de Sprotbrugh, patris mei” confirming the donation of the revenue from “Athewyks[878].  The Complete Peerage records his exemption 11 Apr 1340 “from going beyond the seas or elsewhere on the King’s service, as he was too  old and infirm to serve[879].  He died before 1342 when his wife was recorded as his widow (see below). 

[m firstly --- (-before 15 Oct 1324).  Baildon suggests that the wording of the 15 Oct 1324 licence, cited below under William’s know wife Isabel, indicates that he had an earlier wife who was the mother of his children[880].  He highlights that “…and the heirs of their bodies” (referring to William and Isabel) would have included “…the heirs male of their bodies” (referring to John and his brother Thomas) if Isabel had been their mother, suggesting that William must, by this arrangement, have been providing for any future children (sons or daughters: specifying “heirs of their bodies”, as opposed to “heirs male of their bodies”) born to Isabel as his second wife.  His argument is convincing except that Isabel names all of William’s children “filii/filiæ mei/meæ” in her testament, although Baildon suggests that naming stepchildren as such “was the practice of the time, and is no evidence that they were not really her stepsons”.  No source has been found which confirms the family origin of William’s possible first wife, although Baildon suggests that William “being Edmund Deyncourt’s feoffee in 1317 [the 18 Jun 1317 licence, cited above] shows an earlier Deyncourt connection”.  He concludes that “it is quite possible that Sir William’s two wives…were both Deyncourts, which would account for…Sir William [presenting] Oliver de Eyncourt to the rectory of Emley in December 1313” (see above)[881].  If Baildon correctly identifies her family origin, it is possible that she was --- Deincourt, daughter of ---, who would have been the sister of the rector Oliver Deincourt.]   

m [secondly] ([before 15 Oct 1324]) ISABEL, daughter of --- (-after Jul 1348, bur Sprotborough, St Thomas chapel).  The documents cited below suggest a close connection between Isabel and the Deincourt family.  If that is the case (ans assuming that Isabel was indeed William’s second wife), the chronology suggests that she could have been Isabel Deincourt, daughter of John Deincourt of Park Hall, Derbyshire & his second wife ---, in which case she would have been the sister of William Lord Deincourt who was one of the beneficiaries under her testament cited below.  A licence dated 15 Oct 1324 permitted “William FitzWilliam” to settle the manors of “Emley and Darrington on himself and Isabel his wife and the heirs of their bodies, with remainder to his own right heirs” with remainders in succession to “John FitzWilliam and Thomas his brother and the heirs male of their bodies”, with William retaining the manors of “Dalton and Sprotburgh in Yorkshire and Plumtree and Hucknall, co. Notts[882].  The Complete Peerage records that “Isabel, [William’s] widow, presented to Sprotborough” in 1342[883].  The testament of “Isabella, quæ fui uxor Domini Willielmi filii Willielmi de Emelay militis”, dated end-Jul 1348, requested burial “in capella Sancti Thomæ Martiris in ecclesia Sprotburgh”, made bequests to “Johanni filio meo…Dominæ Johannæ uxori ejusdem Johannis filii mei…Margaretæ filiæ meæ…Johannæ filiæ meæ…Isabellæ filiæ meæ…Agneti filiæ meæ…Johanni et Willielmo filiis Johannis filii mei…Elizabethæ filiæ Johannis filii mei…Agneti filiæ Thomæ filii mei…Domino Willielmo Trussebuot…Dominæ Johannæ uxori ejusdem Domini Willielmi…Johannæ Basily de Radolf…domino Willielmo Deyncourt…Domino Johanni Deyncourt filiolo meo…Johannæ de Trnnhill…Elizabethæ filiæ Domini Adæ de Newemarche moniali…Johannæ uxori Willielmi Faukes…dominæ Johannæ Anachoritæ…Johanni filio Johannis filii mei, Willielmo fratri suo…”, and appointed executors “Johannem filium meum et dominum Willielmum de Trussebut et Brianum de Thornhill milites[884]

William & his [first/second] wife had seven children:

1.         WILLIAM FitzWilliam (-Pontefract 22 Mar 1322).  “…Sire Will fiz William le fiz…” was listed among those hanged following the battle of Boroughbridge[885]

2.         JOHN FitzWilliam (-10 Aug 1349).  A licence dated 15 Oct 1324 permitted “William FitzWilliam” to settle the manors of “Emley and Darrington on himself and Isabel his wife and the heirs of their bodies, with remainder to his own right heirs” with remainders in succession to “John FitzWilliam and Thomas his brother and the heirs male of their bodies[886].  “Sir William FitzWilliam of Hemeley, John his son, and Brian de Thornill, fled for the death of Sir Richard Plaiz, killed at Helaw” in 1327[887].   Under her end-Jul 1348 testament cited above, Isabel made bequests to “Johanni filio meo…” and appointed executors “Johannem filium meum et…milites”.  Inquisitions after a writ dated 20 Apr "24 Edward III" [20 Apr 1350], following the death of "John Fitz William", record manors in Yorkshire “Darthyngton…Emeley…Sprotburgh…Dalton”, his death “10 August last”, and “John his son, aged 22 ½ years and more, is his heir[888]m JOAN de Reresby, daughter of ADAM de Reresby of Thribergh & his wife --- (-[Jul 1348/early 1349?]).  Baildon records her parentage and marriage (no sources cited)[889].  A document dated 19 Feb 1385 (N.S.) records “Elizabeth widow of John FitzWilliam of Arksey, knt.” appealing following her husband’s murder at Howden[890].  Under her end-Jul 1348 testament cited above, Isabel made bequests to “…Dominæ Johannæ uxori ejusdem Johannis filii mei…”.  She is not named in her husband’s inquisitions, suggesting that she may have been deceased at the time.  John & his wife had four children: 

a)         JOHN FitzWilliam ([early 1327]-murdered Howden before 19 Feb 1385).  Under her end-Jul 1348 testament cited above, Isabel made bequests to “…Johanni et Willielmo filiis Johannis filii mei…”.  Inquisitions following his father’s death, cited above, record “John his son, aged 22 ½ years and more, is his heir”.  A document dated 19 Feb 1385 (N.S.) records “Elizabeth widow of John FitzWilliam of Arksey, knt.” appealing following her husband’s murder at Howden[891]m ELIZABETH [Clinton], daughter of --- (-after 1400).  Baildon records John’s wife “Elizabeth Clinton, sometimes said to have been a daughter of William Clinton, Earl of Huntingdon.  This appears to be an error…the Sir John de Clinton mentioned in 1398 was probably her brother or nephew[892].  She was named in the 19 Feb 1385 document cited under her husband.  John & his wife had three children: 

i)          WILLIAM FitzWilliam (-8 Apr 1398).  Baildon records his parentage, citing documents dated between 10 Nov 1385 and 1397/98 in which he was named, and the inquisitions 24 Jun 1398 which record his date of death[893]

C.      FAMILY of OTES FITZWILLIAM in ESSEX and SUFFOLK

 

 

1.         OTES FitzWilliam (-before [1200]).  “Robert Fitzharding” notified his grant of “land of Combe” to “his brother Helyas” by charter dated to [1150/60], witnessed by “Domina Eva, Maurice, Nicholas and Robert his sons...Otho son of William...[900]m MARGARET, daughter of [ROBERT FitzHarding & his wife Eva ---] (-after [1200]).  Her parentage and marriage are indicated by the undated charter under which “Mauritius de Gant” donated revenue from land "in manerio de Dersleia…quam emi de Margareta matertera mea quæ fuit uxor Othonis filii Willielmi" to Clerkenwell St Mary’s[901].  The word “matertera” is normally translated by “maternal aunt”.  However, it is unlikely that Margaret was the sister of Avice de Gant, mother of Maurice de Gant, who appears to have been the only child by her father’s first marriage.  In addition, Margaret’s husband and Margaret herself are named in charters of the FitzHarding/Berkeley family which are quoted in this section.  It is more likely therefore that Margaret was Maurice’s paternal aunt.  “John de Wodeford” granted land in Nibley, Gloucestershire (“in Nubbeleia”), which he had recovered “contra Dom. Margaretam quondam uxorem Othonis fil. Willelmi”, to “Dom. Juliana de Ponte Arche wife of Robert de Berkeleia” by charter dated to [1200][902].    

 

 

2.         OTES FitzWilliam of Essex (-after 1232).  The Testa de Nevill lists fees in Middlesex, dated 1232, which include "Oto filius Willelmi tenet manerium de Lilleston per seriantiam inveniendi le Coing Londonie..."[903]m (after 18 Aug 1219) as her second husband, MATILDA, widow of JAMES de Neufmarché, daughter of --- (-after 9 Aug 1217).  "Otto son of William" paid a fine to marry "Matilda, who was the wife of James de Neufmarché, if she will give her assent", dated 18 Aug 1219[904].  Mendlesham, inherited by her son, was previously held by the descendants of Manasses de Dammartin (see above).  Maybe it was inherited from his mother.  Otes & his wife had two children: 

a)         WILLIAM FitzOtes (-before 24 Jun 1261).  Inquisitions after a writ dated 24 Jun "45 Hen III" following the death of "William son of Otto" name “Thomas son of Otho his brother aged 30 or more is his heir” and his manors “Belchamp Otten, Gosfeud and Gestlingethorp” in Essex[905]

a)         --- Foliot (-before Feb 1187).  m ---.  One child:

It appears probable that the following family group was related to Gilbert Foliot Bishop of London, not only because another Gilbert Foliot may have been connected with Reginald Foliot, but also because of the quasi-hereditary nature of senior ecclesiastical appointments. 

 

1.         --- Foliotm [--- de Lee, daughter of --- de Lee & his wife ---.  Sister of Peter de Lee Bishop of St David’s from 1176 to 1198.  Her family origin is confirmed by the source quoted below, assuming that “avunculus” is interpreted as maternal uncle of Reginald Foliot.  Some details concerning the Lee family of Hughley, Shropshire are provided by Eyton, including the conditional donation of “capelle de Lega” made by “Petrus prior de Wenloke” (probably the future bishop) with the consent of “Thomas de Lega[957].]  One child: 

a)         REGINALD Foliot .  Gerald of Wales’s De rebus a se gestis records the death in 1198 of “episcopus Menevensis” and the selection of four candidates to succeed him, one of whom was “Reginaldum Foliot qui Anglicus fuit”, a later passage repeating that “R. Foliot qui Herefordensis episcopi Willelmi de Ver notarius erat...ex Anglicis” was one of the candidates and was was “tamen Menevensis ecclesiæ canonicus”, a position to which “avunculus eius, sc. proximo defunctus episcopus” had appointed him[958]

 

 

1.         GILBERT Foliot .  “...Hugh de Lee...Gilbert Foliot...” witnessed the charter dated to [1176] under which “Richard Tirel” granted land in Louth, Ireland to “Adam de Hereford[959].  The presence of “Hugh de Lee” suggests a family connection between Gilbert Foliot and Reginald Foliot, named above, who was related to the Lee family. 

 

2.         HUGH Foliot .  “...Hugh Foliot...Alexander Foliot...” witnessed the charter dated to [1195] under which “Roger de Wigornia” donated “the church of Kiltevenan” to Oseney St Mary[960]

5.         HUGH Foliot (-1234).  Bishop of Hereford 1219.  Matthew Paris records the death in 1219 of “Hugo de Maneport episcopus Herefordensis circa Pascha”, the succession of “Hugo Foliot”, and the consecration of the latter “Cantuariæ festo Omnium Sanctorum[964].  Matthew Paris records the death in 1234 of "Hugo Folioth Herefordensis antistes[965]

 

 

1.         --- Foliot (-before 1130).  m ---.  One child:

Five brothers, parents not identified.  The date range of their careers suggests that they were not the sons of William [I] Foliot.  It is unlikely they were the sons of William [II] by his known wife Agnes, who named her two sons after the death of her husband (see above).  It is possible that Jordan, Pain and Richard were sons of William [II] by an otherwise unrecorded earlier marriage.

1.         WILLIAM de Forz ([1214/15]-Amiens 23 May 1260, bur Meaux Abbey).  Henry III King of England confirmed that "Willelmus de Fotz, comes Aubemarle" had transferred "Willelmum filium suum primogenitam" as a hostage in return for receiving "castrum nostrum de Salvat", dated 17 Dec 1216[1038].  The Cronicon Cumbriæ names “Hawysiam” as the child of “Willielmus Grossus comes Albemarliæ” and his wife, adding that he was succeeded by “Willielmus de Fortibus comes Albemarliæ”, in turn succeeded by “alter Willielmus de Fortibus”, and the latter by “Avelina” who married “Edmondo fratri domini Regis E” and died childless[1039].  "W filio comitis de Aubemarliæ" is named as son-in-law of Alan of Galloway by Matthew of Paris, who does not name his wife[1040].  Lord of Holderness.  He succeeded as titular Comte d'Aumâle.  "William de Fortibus, son of William de Fortibus late count of Aumale…and Christiana his wife" were granted "the manor of Driffield, co York and the manor of Tingden co Northampton", dated 5 Oct 1241[1041].  The Annales Londonienses record the death in 1260 of "comes Albemarliæ…in transmarinis partibus"[1042].  The Chronicle of Meaux, in Yorkshire, records the death "in civitate Ambianensi" in 1260 of "dominus Willelmus de Fortibus tertius ultimus comes Albermarliæ" and his burial "in presbyterio nostro juxta filiam suam"[1043].  A hearing "44 Hen III", after the death of "William de Fortibus alias de Ford, de Forz Earl of Albemarle" names "Thomas his son, aged 7 on the morrow of the Nativity of the Blessed May next, is his heir and as yet in the wardship of his mother"[1044]m firstly (before Apr 1236) CHRISTIAN of Galloway, daughter of ALAN Lord of Galloway & his second wife Margaret of Scotland (-shortly before 29 Jul 1246).  The Liber Pluscardensis records that the third daughter of "Alanus de Galway filius Rotholandi de Galway" married "comes Albemarliæ"[1045].  "William de Fortibus, son of William de Fortibus late count of Aumale…and Christiana his wife" were granted "the manor of Driffield, co York and the manor of Tingden co Northampton", dated 5 Oct 1241[1046].  Matthew of Paris records the death in 1246 of "comitissa quoque Albemarliæ filia Alani de Galeweia sororque comitisse Wintoniæ"[1047]m secondly (1248) ISABEL de Reviers, daughter of BALDWIN de Reviers Earl of Devon & his wife Amice de Clare (Jul 1237-Stockwell, Surrey 10 Nov 1293, bur Breamore Priory, Hants).  The Fundationis et Fundatorum Historia of Ford Abbey names “Baldwinum quintum postea comitum et Isabellam Albermarliæ” as the children of “Baldwinum quartum” & his wife, adding that Isabel succeeded after the death of her brother without children but also died childless[1048].  The Annals of Tewkesbury record the marriage in 1248 of “filia comitis Devoniæ” to “comiti de Aubemarle[1049].  Writs dated 13 Jan and 13 Jul "47 Hen III", after the death of "Baldwin de Insula earl of Devon", names "Isabel de Fortibus countess of Albemarla, late the wife of the earl of Albemarle, his sister, age variously stated as 24 and more and 25, is his heir through the death of his son"[1050].  "Isabella de Fortibus comitissa de Albemarle et Devonie ac Domina Insule" confirmed donations to the abbey of Loders, Dorset, for the souls of "quondam bone memorie Willelmi de Fortibus comitis Albemalle viri nostri et pro animabus Thome et Willelmi de Fortibus filiorum predicti comitis", by charter dated to 1269, witnessed by "Dominis Johanne, filio Johannis…"[1051].  “Isabella de Fortibus comitissa de Albemarle et Devoniæ, ac domina Insulæ” donated property to Quarr Abbey, for the soul of “domini mei Willielmi de Fortibus comitis Albemarliæ”, by undated charter[1052].  William & his second wife had five children: 

a)         JOHN de Forz (-before 11 Aug 1260).  The Complete Peerage cites a petition dated [1315], by Thomas de Multon and Anthony de Lucy, relating to the manors of Cockermouth and Skipton, which names "John, Thomas, William, Avice and Aveline" as the five children of William de Forz[1053]

b)         THOMAS de Forz (9 Sep 1253-before 6 Apr 1269, bur Black Friars Church, Stamford, Lincs).  A hearing "44 Hen III", after the death of "William de Fortibus alias de Ford, de Forz Earl of Albemarle" names "Thomas his son, aged 7 on the morrow of the Nativity of the Blessed May next, is his heir and as yet in the wardship of his mother"[1054].  "Isabella de Fortibus comitissa de Albemarle et Devonie ac Domina Insule" confirmed donations to the abbey of Loders, Dorset, for the souls of "quondam bone memorie Willelmi de Fortibus comitis Albemalle viri nostri et pro animabus Thome et Willelmi de Fortibus filiorum predicti comitis", by charter dated to 1269[1055].  The wording of this charter suggests ("filiorum predicti comitis" instead of "filiorum meorum") that the donor was not the mother of Thomas and William but the chronology of this family indicates that this was not the case.  The drafting of the charter is ambiguous whether Thomas and William were deceased at the time or not.  A writ dated 20 Feb "3 Edw I", after the death of "Avelina late the wife of Edmund the king’s brother" names "four daughters of Hugh de Bulebec and...Ralph de Pleys are next heirs", reciting the full ancestry which proves their heirship: “Richard de Munfichet died without heir...and his inheritance descended to his three sisters...the second sister Avelina married William de Forz Earl of Albemarle and from them issued William de Forz the last earl of Albemarle who had two sons Thomas and William who died without heirs...and one daughter Avelina whom Edmund the king’s brother took to wife...[1056]

c)         WILLIAM de Forz (-Oxford, bur Black Friars Church, Oxford).  "Isabella de Fortibus comitissa de Albemarle et Devonie ac Domina Insule" confirmed donations to the abbey of Loders, Dorset, for the souls of "quondam bone memorie Willelmi de Fortibus comitis Albemalle viri nostri et pro animabus Thome et Willelmi de Fortibus filiorum predicti comitis", by charter dated to 1269[1057].  The wording of this charter suggests ("filiorum predicti comitis" instead of "filiorum meorum") that the donor was not the mother of Thomas and William but the chronology of this family indicates that this was not the case.  The drafting of the charter is ambiguous whether Thomas and William were deceased at the time or not.  A writ dated 20 Feb "3 Edw I", after the death of "Avelina late the wife of Edmund the king’s brother" names "four daughters of Hugh de Bulebec and...Ralph de Pleys are next heirs", reciting the full ancestry which proves their heirship: “Richard de Munfichet died without heir...and his inheritance descended to his three sisters...the second sister Avelina married William de Forz Earl of Albemarle and from them issued William de Forz the last earl of Albemarle who had two sons Thomas and William who died without heirs...and one daughter Avelina whom Edmund the king’s brother took to wife...[1058]

d)         AVICE de Forz (-[1260], bur [Meaux abbey]).  The Complete Peerage cites a petition dated [1315], by Thomas de Multon and Anthony de Lucy, relating to the manors of Cockermouth and Skipton, which names "John, Thomas, William, Avice and Aveline" as the five children of William de Forz[1059].  The Chronicle of Meaux records that "Willielmum de Fortibus tertium" had "filias…quarum una" was buried "in presbyterio nostro", and "una earum Avelina" married "Edmundo filio regis Henrici tertii"[1060].  It is assumed that the former entry refers to Avice, although her name is not specified.  Another passage in the same source records the death of her father and his burial "in presbyterio nostro juxta filiam suam"[1061], which suggests that the two died around the same time. 

e)         AVELINE de Forz (Burstwick, Yorks 20 Jan 1259-10 Nov 1274, bur Westminster Abbey).  The Cronicon Cumbriæ names “Hawysiam” as the child of “Willielmus Grossus comes Albemarliæ” and his wife, adding that he was succeeded by “Willielmus de Fortibus comes Albemarliæ”, in turn succeeded by “alter Willielmus de Fortibus”, and the latter by “Avelina” who married “Edmondo fratri domini Regis E” and died childless[1062].  The Continuator of Florence of Worcester records the marriage "VI Id Apr" of "Eadmundus filius Henrici regis" and "filiam et hæredem comitis Aubemarliæ" at Westminster[1063].  An enquiry into the age of "Avelina the wife of Edmund the king’s brother, daughter and heir of William sometime earl of Albemarle" includes testimony that "Avelina was 14 on the day of SS Fabian and Sebastian last"[1064].  The Continuator of Florence of Worcester records the death in 1274 of "Avelina uxor domini Eadmundi regis filii comitissa Aubermarliæ"[1065].  The Chronicle of Thomas Wykes records the death “circa festum Sancti Martini” in 1274 of “uxor domini Edmundi fratris…regis nostri[1066].  A writ dated 20 Feb "3 Edw I", after the death of "Avelina late the wife of Edmund the king’s brother" names "four daughters of Hugh de Bulebec and...Ralph de Pleys are next heirs", reciting the full ancestry which proves their heirship: “Richard de Munfichet died without heir...and his inheritance descended to his three sisters, the first sister Margery married Hugh de Bulebec and from them issued Hugh de Bulebec who had four daughters, Philippa married to Roger de Lancastre, Margery married to Nicholas Corbet, Alice married to Walter de Huntercumbe and Maud married to Hugh de la Valle; the second sister Avelina married William de Forz Earl of Albemarle and from them issued William de Forz the last earl of Albemarle who had two sons Thomas and William who died without heirs...and one daughter Avelina whom Edmund the king’s brother took to wife...; the third sister Philippa married Hugh de Pleys and from them issued Richard de Pleys from whom issued Ralph de Pleys now aged 9 and in the wardship of Robert Aguilun[1067]m (contract 6 Apr 1269, Westminster Abbey 8/9 Apr 1269) as his first wife, EDMUND “Crouchback/Gibbosus” of England Earl of Lancaster, son of HENRY III King of England & his wife Eléonore de Provence (London 16 Jan 1245-Bayonne 5 Jun 1296, bur Westminster Abbey). 

 

 

 

GIFFARD (of Weare, Devonshire)

 

 

Robert Giffard, named below, presumably adopted the name Giffard from his maternal grandmother whose brother was Walter Giffard, who was created Earl [of Buckingham] by William II King of England. 

 

ROBERT, son of RAOUL [I] Seigneur de Fougères & his wife Avice de Clare (-after 1129).  Guillaume de Jumièges records that "Richardum”, son of “Gislebertus...filius Godefridi comitis Aucensis”, had two daughters of whom one married “Rodulfo de Telegeriis” by whom she had “Fransualo, Henricus et Robertus Giffard[1068].  “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.  "Radulfus Filgeriensis" with "his wife Avitia" donated property to the abbey of Holy Trinity, Savigny by charter dated 7 Mar 1113, subscribed by "Maino-franswalo filius eius, Henricus et Robertus similiter filii eius…"[1069].  Henry I King of England awarded him the lordship of Weare, Devonshire before 1129[1070].  The 1130 Pipe Roll records "Robt Ostiari fil Giff" and "Rob Gisf" in "Grentebrugescira", and "--- Giffard" accounting for "terra q Ric de Holeweia clamat uers eu" in Devonshire[1071]

GLANVILLE

 

 

Glanville-Richards states that this family was named after “Glanville...in the arrondissement of Port-l’Evêque in Normandy[1081].  Based on the primary sources which have been consulted so far during the preparation of the present document, satisfactory reconstruction of the relationships between the members of the Glanville family who are named in the 12th century has not been possible.  No record of the Glanville family has been found in the surviving parts of the 1129/30 Pipe Roll.  The family has been studied by Mortimer[1082]

 

 

1.         ROBERT de Glanville (-after 1086).  Domesday Book records "Robert de Glanville" holding land in Benhall, Suffolk from Robert Malet[1083]

b)         [ROGER de Glanville (-after Apr 1192).  The primary source which confirms Roger’s parentage has not been identified.  However, the charters in which the Glanville family are named, in particular the charter under which his supposed brother Ranulf founded Leiston abbey and his own charter in which he names his own brother Hervé (see below), suggest that he may have been a younger son of Hervé de Glanville.  This suggestion is consistent with the chronology of his career.  The Red Book of the Exchequer, in 1166, records "Rogerus de Glanville iv milites de feodo uxoris suæ" in Essex in the fee of William de Montfichet[1113].  “Ranulfus de Glamvilla” founded Leiston abbey, Suffolk, confirmed by “...Rogero de Glamvilla, et Osberto et Gerardo...”, by undated charter, witnessed by “...Rogero de Glamvilla, Osberto de Glamvilla...[1114]A charter of King Henry II confirmed donations to Bungay Nunnery by “Rogeri de Glanvill et Gundredæ comitissæ uxoris meæ” of property at Bungay[1115].  “Rogerus de Glanvilla” donated “ecclesiam S.

Mariæ de Middeltune” to Leiston abbey, for the souls of “meæ et...comitissæ Gundredæ uxoris meæ et...uxoris meæ Christinæ et...Hervei fratris mei”, by undated charter[1120]m secondly (after 1177) as her second husband, GUNDRED, widow of HUGH Bigod Earl of Norfolk, daughter of --- (-[1200/08]).  “Rogerus de Glanvilla” donated “ecclesiam S.

c)         [OSBERT de Glanville (-after [1190]).  The primary source which confirms Osbert’s parentage has not been identified.  However, the charters in which the Glanville family are named, in particular the charter under which his supposed brother Ranulf founded Leiston abbey (see below), suggest that he may have been a younger son of Hervé de Glanville.  "Rodbto de Valein, Hervico de Glavil, Randulfo de Glavil filio ei, Rogero de Glav, Rodbto filii ei, Will de Glav…Hosbto de Glavil, Reginaldo de Glav…" witnessed the charter dated to [1150] under which "Bartoloms de Glavilla" confirmed the grants to Bactun/Bromholme monastery, Norfolk by "patris meis Willm de Glavill"[1123].  “Ranulphus de Glanvilla” donated property to Butley priory, Suffolk, in the presence of “uxore mea”, by undated charter, witnessed by “...Osberto de Glanvil...Gerardo de Glanvile...Herveo de Glanvile, Savari de Valeines[1124]Ranulfus de Glamvilla” founded Leiston abbey, Suffolk, confirmed by “...Rogero de Glamvilla, et Osberto et Gerardo...”, by undated charter, witnessed by “...Rogero de Glamvilla, Osberto de Glamvilla...[1125]m as her second husband, ---, widow of WILLIAM de Criketot, daughter of ---.  A charter of Leiston abbey names the wife of Osbert de Glanville as the widow of William de Criketot[1126].] 

d)         [HERVE [II] de Glanville (-after 1166).  His name suggests that Hervé was a younger son of Hervé [I] de Glanville, although the primary source which confirms that this is correct has not been identified.  The charter of Roger de Glanville, quoted below, shows that he and Hervé were brothers.  The Red Book of the Exchequer, in 1166, records "Herveius de Glanville i militem" in Cambridgeshire in the fee of the bishop of Ely[1127].  “Ranulphus de Glanvilla” donated property to Butley priory, Suffolk, in the presence of “uxore mea”, by undated charter, witnessed by “...Osberto de Glanvil...Gerardo de Glanvile...Herveo de Glanvile, Savari de Valeines[1128]Rogerus de Glanvilla” donated “ecclesiam S. Mariæ de Middeltune” to Leiston abbey, for the souls of “meæ et...comitissæ Gundredæ uxoris meæ et...uxoris meæ Christinæ et...Hervei fratris mei”, by undated charter[1129].]

i)          MABILIA (-after 1185).  The Rotuli de Dominabus of 1185 records “Mabilia…neptis Rannulfi de Glanville…uxor Albrici Picot”, her property “in Bukeswurthe…in feodo Gileberti de Muntfichet", and her "ii filios et iii filias, et primogenitus est miles[1133]m AUBRY Picot, son of HENRY Picot & his wife --- (-after 1171). 

g)         [--- .  One parent of the wife of Robert de Crec was presumably the child of Hervé de Glanville as shown by the following document: “Bartholomæus de Crec filius Roberti de Crec” donated property to St Osith’s, Essex, for the soul of “Herivæi de Glanvill avi matris meæ”, by undated charter[1134].  This assumes that “Herivæi de Glanvill” who is named in this document was Hervé [I] and not Hervé [II] who is named below.]  m ---.  One child: 

i)          daughter .  A grand-daughter of Hervé Glanville presumably married Robert de Crec as shown by the following document: “Bartholomæus de Crec filius Roberti de Crec” donated property to St Osith’s, Essex, for the soul of “Herivæi de Glanvill avi matris meæ”, by undated charter[1135].  This assumes that “Herivæi de Glanvill” who is named in this document was Hervé [I] and not Hervé [II] who is named below.  m ROBERT de Crec, son of ---.] 

 

 

[Two] brothers: 

1.         WILLIAM de Glanville"Guillelmus de Glanvilla" donated salt and a serf to the abbey of Sainte-Trinité de Tiron by charter dated to [1130], witnessed and confirmed by "filiorum meorum Bartholomei et Anselmi et Basilie uxoris mee"[1136]m BASILIA [de Bertun], daughter of --- (-after [1150]).  "Guillelmus de Glanvilla" donated salt and a serf to the abbey of Sainte-Trinité de Tiron by charter dated to [1130], witnessed and confirmed by "filiorum meorum Bartholomei et Anselmi et Basilie uxoris mee"[1137].  Her possible family origin is indicated by the undated charter under which [her son] Bartholmeus de Glanvilla” confirmed donations to Bromholm, Norfolk made by “pater meus Willielmus de Glanvilla...avunculi mei Rogeri de Bertuna...[1138].  "…dna Basil matre dni Bartholom, Matilde uxore dni, Leticia filia ei" witnessed the charter dated to [1150] under which "Bartoloms de Glavilla" confirmed the grants to Bactun/Bromholme monastery, Norfolk by "patris meis Willm de Glavill"[1139]William & his wife had two children:

GOURNAY

 

 

This family was presumably related to the Seigneurs de Gournay in Normandy (see the document NORMANDY NOBILITY-ARQUES, AUMÂLE, CAUX) but, if this is correct, the connection has not been traced.  The precise relationships between the individuals shown below have not been identified, although the name Gournay indicates that they were all related, maybe through the female line.  The name Gournay was passed to Eva, daughter of Hawise de Gournay and her husband Robert [de Berkeley], and from her to her son Robert de Gournay (see the document UNTITLED ENGLISH NOBILITY A-C). 

 

 

1.         NIGEL (-after 1086).  Domesday Book records “Nigel” holding Barrow Gurney (as well as other land) from the bishop of Coutances in Somerset[1154]

 

2.         HAWISE de Gournay (-after [1143]).  The Annals of Bermondsey record that “Hawisia de Gurnay” donated “ecclesiam de Inglescombe in comitatu Somersetiæ” to Bermondsey in 1112[1155].  "Hawis de Gurnai" donated "ecclesiam de Ingliscumbe" to Bermondsey, for the souls of “Rogeri de Baalun mariti mei et Rogeri Baalun filii mei”, by undated charter witnessed by “Patricius comes, Radus Baalun, Hamelinus de Baalun, Arnoldus de Baalun, Robertus de Gundeville, Mattus de Gurnay...[1156].  Gurney identifies the witness “Patricius comes” as Patrick Earl of Salisbury (earl from [1143] to 1168)[1157].  If that is correct (which appears likely), the 1112 date for the donation recorded in the Annals of Bermondsey appears impossible.  Alternatively, it is possible that the undated charter represents an amalgamation of other documents from different dates.  The chronology of the Ballon family suggests that it is unlikely that Hawise, wife of Roger de Ballon, was the same person as Hawise, daughter of Robert de Gournay who married Robert [de Berkeley] (see below).  If this speculation is correct, no indication has been found of the identity of Hawise’s parents.  ["Awys de Gurnaio" donated "terra de Athelingeworth...ex donacione Rogeri de Clera mariti mei" to Lewes priory by undated charter[1158].  In another passage, Gurney quotes what appears to be another version of the same charter: “Hawisia de Gurnais” donated “terram de Athelingworth, quam in dotem accepi ex donatione Rogeri de Clera mariti mei, sicut Rogerus de Clera et Radulphus frater et hæres ipsius dederunt” to Lewes, undated[1159].  Neither of these documents provides any indication of the chronology of Roger de Clere.  The fact that Roger’s heir was his brother Ralph indicates that his marriage to Hawise was childless, which may indicate that this was her second marriage contracted when she was relatively old.  If that is correct, Roger de Clere’s wife could have been either the widow of Roger de Ballon or the widow of Robert de Gournay.]  m [firstly] ROGER de Ballon, son of WINEBAUD de Ballon & his wife Isabelle --- (-after 1126).  [m secondly ROGER de Clere, son of ---.] 

 

3.         ROBERT de Gournay of Barrow, Somerset (-before 1166).  “...Roberto de Gurnar...” witnessed the charter dated to [1123/Jul 1129] under which 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"[1160].  The Red Book of the Exchequer, in 1166, record the roll of knights of William Earl of Gloucester in Kent which includes "feodum quod fuit Roberti de Gornac[o] ix milites"[1161]m [as her first husband,] HAWISE, daughter of ---.  Her marriage is confirmed by Stapleton in a later passage which names “Roger de Peauton” as second husband of [her granddaughter] Eva, adding that while married to him she confirmed her donation to Bermondsey monastery of the church of Inglishcombe which had earlier been donated by “Hawisia her grandmother, widow of Robert de Gurnay, and [by] Hawisia her own mother[1162].  It is possible that Hawise was the daughter of Hawise de Gournay, wife of Roger de Ballon, who is named above.  [She may have married secondly Roger de Clere: "Awys de Gurnaio" donated "terra de Athelingeworth...ex donacione Rogeri de Clera mariti mei" to Lewes priory by undated charter[1163].  In another passage, Gurney quotes what appears to be another version of the same charter: “Hawisia de Gurnais” donated “terram de Athelingworth, quam in dotem accepi ex donatione Rogeri de Clera mariti mei, sicut Rogerus de Clera et Radulphus frater et hæres ipsius dederunt” to Lewes, undated[1164].  Neither of these documents provides any indication of the chronology of Roger de Clere.  The fact that Roger’s heir was his brother Ralph indicates that his marriage to Hawise was childless, which may indicate that this was her second marriage contracted when she was relatively old.  If that is correct, Roger de Clere’s wife could have been either the widow of Roger de Ballon or the widow of Robert de Gournay.]  Robert & his wife had one child: 

a)         HAWISE de Gournay (-after 1188).  Stapleton names “Hawisia, daughter and heiress of Robert de Gurnay of Barrow in [Somerset]” as the first wife of Robert FitzHarding and mother of his daughter “Eva de Gurnay”, but he does not cite the corresponding primary source[1165].  Her name and parentage are confirmed by Stapleton in a later passage which names “Roger de Peauton” as second husband of [her daughter] Eva, adding that while married to him she confirmed her donation to Bermondsey monastery of the church of Inglishcombe which had earlier been donated by “Hawisia her grandmother, widow of Robert de Gurnay, and [by] Hawisia her own mother[1166].  As noted above, the chronology suggests that Hawise was not the same person as Hawise, widow of Roger de Ballon (see above).  "Hathewisia de Gurneio" noted that "Alexander de Bidicumba" had sold “totam terram suam de Cliveware...quam Robertus de Gurneio pater meus ei...dedit” to “Thome filio Willelmi” by undated charter, witnessed by “...Matheo de Gurneio...[1167].  Hawise is last named in the 1188 Pipe Roll[1168]m as his first wife, ROBERT [de Berkeley], son of ROBERT FitzHarding & his wife Eva --- (-[1195]). 

 

 

WILLIAM FitzJohn, son of WILLIAM FitzJohn & his wife Denise de Mandeville (-after 1224).  An undated charter records that "Henricum de Tilleio" granted "in Anglia honorem de Harpetrou" to “Willielmum filium Johannis fratrem suum”, referrring to “maritagium Cecilie sororis eorum[1169].  The Fine Rolls record an agreement between "Willm fil Johis" and "Rob de Gurnay...filius Thom primogeniti filii ipsius Will et Matild...ex Eva uxore sua" concerning “manerio de Kerenton”, dated 1224, which records that the manor was “de hereditate Matild quondam uxoris ipsius Willi”, with the consent of “Pagano filio ipsi Willi qui fuit frat predicti Thom[1170]

m MATILDA, daughter of --- (-before 1224).  The Fine Rolls record an agreement between "Willm fil Johis" and "Rob de Gurnay...filius Thom primogeniti filii ipsius Will et Matild...ex Eva uxore sua" concerning “manerio de Kerenton”, dated 1224, which records that the manor was “de hereditate Matild quondam uxoris ipsius Willi”, with the consent of “Pagano filio ipsi Willi qui fuit frat predicti Thom[1171]

William & his wife had two children: 

1.         THOMAS FitzWilliam of Harptree (-before 1213).  "Hathewisia de Gurneio" noted that "Alexander de Bidicumba" had sold “totam terram suam de Cliveware...quam Robertus de Gurneio pater meus ei...dedit” to “Thome filio Willelmi” by undated charter, witnessed by “...Matheo de Gurneio...[1172]m as her first husband, EVA [de Berkeley/de Gournay], daughter of ROBERT de Berkeley & his first wife Hawise de Gournay (-before 1213).  Stapleton names “Hawisia, daughter and heiress of Robert de Gurnay of Barrow in [Somerset]” as the first wife of Robert FitzHarding and mother of his daughter “Eva de Gurnay”, but he does not cite the corresponding primary source[1173].  "Mauricius de Gant" paid a fine "loco Eve sororis sue…pro habenda terra q hereditarie eandem Evam…et Thom fil Willi quondam viri sui" in Gloucestershire and Somerset, dated 1213[1174].  King John confirmed "manerium de Barewe", which he had "in vita sua ex concessione Eve de Gornay sororis sue", to "Mauricio de Gant" by charter dated 28 Jul 1214[1175].  The name "de Gournay" applied to Eva could suggest that she only shared one parent with Maurice de Gant, presumably their mother, but this hypothesis appears disproved by the record quoted below which names Robert de Gournay as heir of Maurice de Gant.  She married secondly Roger de Peauton.  Stapleton names “Roger de Peauton” as second husband of Eva, adding that while married to him she confirmed her donation to Bermondsey monastery of the church of Inglishcombe which had earlier been donated by “Hawisia her grandmother, widow of Robert de Gurnay, and [by] Hawisia her own mother”, without citing the corresponding primary sources[1176].  Thomas & his wife had one child:

a)         ROBERT de Gournay (-[1269]).  The 1227 Pipe Roll records "Robertus de Gurnaco filius et hæres Thomæ de Harpetrie" and "Robertus de Gurnay hæres Evæ de Gurnay" making returns[1177].  Stapleton quotes (in translation) the donation by “Robert de Gurnay, son and heir of Eva de Gurnay” of the advowson of Inglishcombe church to Bermondsey monastery, for the souls of “Thomas my father, Eva my mother, Hawisia de Gurnay my grandmother”, dated 1227[1178].  "Robertus de Gurnay heres Mauricii de Gaunt" protested that “juris...in tribus hundredis de Beminstr, Hareclive et de Porbir” reverted to “Thomam de Berkel” after the death of Maurice, but his claim was rejected, dated 1230[1179].  His claim was presumably dismissed because these properties were the subject of the charter dated to the reign of King John under which “Maurice de Gant” granted “the three hundreds...Bedminster, Portbury and Hareclive” [in Somerset], which “Robert Fitzharding gave to Robert Juvenis his father”, to “Thomas de Berkeley” provided the grantor died without an heir[1180]m HAWISE de Longchamp, daughter of ---.  Gurney names "Hawisa de Longchamp" as the wife of Robert de Gournay, commenting "of what family of Longchamp she was does not appear, but probably of the baronial family of that name seated at Wilton in Herefordshire[1181].  Robert & his wife had one child: 

i)          ANSELM de Gournay (-before 28 Oct 1286).  King Henry III took homage of “Anselm de Gurnay son and heir of Robert de Gurnay deceased” on 13 Jun 1269[1182].  A petition to the king dated to [1281] by "Peres de Seynt Hillare", relating to land at Corston, Somerset, records that "Aunsel de Gunney et Sibille sa femme” named “Reynald le fiz Pers et Johane sa femme Gy de Rochicheward e Sibille sa femme Johan de Beauchamp et Cecille sa femme e Fulke de Archiake e Mabille sa femme heyrs Sire Gwillam de Forz[1183].  It should be noted that these names are incorrectly transcribed as “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" in a summary of the document on the National Archives website[1184]A writ dated 28 Oct "14 Edw I", after the death of "Anselm de Gurney", names "John his son aged 30 and more is his next heir"[1185]m (1246) SIBYLLE de Vivonne, daughter of HUGUES de Vivonne & his wife Mabel Malet (-after 15 Jul 1269).  Corton escheated to the king from Henry de Saint Hilaire, a Norman, and in 1246 was granted to "Hugh de Vivonia, who settled it in frank-marriage upon his daughter Sibyl, wife of Anselm de Gurney and sister of William de Fortibus"[1186].  The Somersetshire Pleas for 15 Jul 1269 include a record that "Henry de Saint Leyre, uncle of Peter" was seised of land in "Corfton" previously held by "Aunsell de Gurnay and his wife Sibyl", and the latter couple "came and vouched to warrant 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"[1187]

-        GOURNAY FAMILY of HARPTREE[1188]

2.         PAGAN (-after 1224).  The Fine Rolls record an agreement between "Willm fil Johis" and "Rob de Gurnay...filius Thom primogeniti filii ipsius Will et Matild...ex Eva uxore sua" concerning “manerio de Kerenton”, dated 1224, which records that the manor was “de hereditate Matild quondam uxoris ipsius Willi”, with the consent of “Pagano filio ipsi Willi qui fuit frat predicti Thom[1189]

 

 

1.         WALTER de Gournay (-before 1166).  The Red Book of the Exchequer, in 1166, records the “Carta Manasseri de Danmartin” in Suffolk which includes "et in tempore gwerræ de illo feodo dedi Waltero de Cornaco i. quartum militis. Et nunc illam partem tenet Willelmus filius suus in auxilium mihi..."[1190]m ---.  The name of Walter’s wife is not known.  Walter & his wife had one child:

Two brothers: 

1.         RALPH de Goxhill (-after 1147).  King Stephen confirmed various donations to Bridlington, including the donation of “ecclesiam de Sprotelaia” made by "Radulfus de Gosla" by charter dated to [1135/39][1192].  “Radulfus de Goxa” donated "terre in Goxa" {Goxhill, Lincolnshire} by charter dated to [1147/68], witnessed by "…Ernisio fratre meo…"[1193]

a)         RALPH FitzErneis de Goxhill (-[before 1152]).  “R[obertus] filius Hernisii” confirmed the donation of "ecclesiam de Gausla" for the soul of "fratris mei [Radulfi]" by charter dated to [1154/68][1196].  He probably died before 1152, the date when his brother Robert witnessed a charter. 

b)         ROBERT FitzErneis de Goxhill (-[1178/85]).  “H[enricus] de Gousla” notified a gift of land to "Roberto de Sprotlay" by charter dated 1152 witnessed by "Robertus filius Hernisei…"[1197].  "Willelmus de Lamarre filius Alani de Lamarre et Amabilis sponsa eius" confirmed the donation of Ruholm to Newhouse abbey, Lincolnshire, for the soul of "Alani de Lamarre", by charter dated to [1157/63], witnessed by "..:Roberto filio Ernisii de Gousla…"[1198].  “R[obertus] filius Hernisii” confirmed the donation of "ecclesiam de Gausla" for the soul of "fratris mei [Radulfi]" by charter dated to [1154/68][1199].  "Johannes Yngelram et Robertus filius Ernisii et Adelina filia mea" donated land "Moresdal" to Whitby by undated charter[1200].  "Johannes Ingeram et Robertus filius Ernisii gener meus et hæres meus" donated land "juxta Midlesburc" to Whitby by undated charter[1201]m ADELINE Ingram, daughter and heiress of JOHN Ingram of Arnecliffe & his wife ---.  "Johannes Yngelram et Robertus filius Ernisii et Adelina filia mea" donated land "Moresdal" to Whitby by undated charter[1202].  Robert & his wife had two children: 

i)          ADAM de Goxhill (-1205 or before)m ([1189/90]) as her first husband, GUNDREDA de Vere, daughter of GUY de Vere & his wife --- (-after 1205).  Her parentage and first marriage are confirmed by a record in the Pipe Rolls of "Wid de Ver" liquidating a debt in Lincolnshire for an agreement made in the king’s court with "Adam generu suu" in 1189/90[1203].  She married secondly Nicholas de Chavencurt.  Her second marriage is confirmed by a charter in the Selby cartulary[1204].  Adam & his wife had one child: 

(a)       WALTER de Vere (-1213 or before).  He adopted his mother’s name.  "Sim de Kima" guaranteed a fine owed by "Walt de Ver" which "predictus Sim fecit cum domino Rege…per debito Ade fil Rob patris ipsius Walteri", dated 1205[1205].  “Walterus de Ver filius Ade de Gousle” confirmed the donation of "ecclesiam Sancti Swithini de Sprottele" to Bridlington by charter dated to [1200/13][1206]m as her first husband, SIBYLLA, daughter of ---.  "Sibilla [quæ fuit uxor Walteri de Ver]" donated land "in Broctona" to Rievaulx abbey[1207].  She married secondly Nicholas de Chavencurt.  "Nicholai de Chaumcurt et Sibillæ uxoris eius" donated land "in Brocton" to Rievaulx abbey[1208].  Adam & his wife had one child:

HARCOURT

 

 

IVO d’Harcourt, son of ROBERT d’Harcourt & his wife Agnes --- (-after 1166).  “Willielmus de Harvecurt” donated “totam terram Stantunie” to Garendon abbey (Leicestershire), with the consent of “Yvonis fratris mei et Agnetis matris mee”, by charter dated 1148[1221].  Pope Anastasius IV (1153/54) confirmed donations to Garendon abbey (Leicestershire), including the donation of “tertiam partem totius terre Stantune” made by “Willielmi de Haurucurth” with the consent of “Yvonis fratris sui et Agnetis matris ipsorum”, by undated charter[1222].  Military fee certifications in the Red Book of the Exchequer, in 1166, record that "Yvo de Haruecourt" held seven knights’ fees from "Willelmi comitis de Warwico" in Warwickshire[1223]

m ROHESE Peverel, daughter of ROBERT [Pain] Peverel & his wife [Adelisa ---].  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[1224].  The Liber Memorandorum Ecclesie de Bernewelle names "Roysia" as second of the three sisters of "Willelmi Peuerel" who inherited the share of their oldest sister Matilda, adding that "de illa processit Albreda de Harecurt"[1225]

Ivo & his wife had [five] children: 

1.         ROBERT [I] de Harcourt (-after 3 Jul 1202).  “Robertus de Harvecurt” confirmed “Stantonam” to Garendon abbey, donated by “pater meus Yvo de Harvecurt et Willielmus frater eius”, by undated charter[1226].  "…Sim de Hareucort…Rob de Hareucort…" witnessed the charter dated to [1152/67] under which the monks of Leicester abbey authorised the establishment of the church of St Mary the Less, Leicester[1227].  By his marriage, Robert de Harcourt acquired a part of Stanton Harcourt, Oxfordshire, which had been granted by Adelisia, second wife of King Henry I, in four parts to Reading convent, to the Knights Templars, to [Robert’s wife’s paternal grandmother] “Milisendi cognatæ meæ uxori Roberti Marmium”, and to [Robert’s paternal uncle] “Willielmo de Harestactu”, undated[1228].  The Red Book of the Exchequer, listing scutage payments in [1194/95], records "de his qui non habent capitales honores…Roberto de Haroucourt" paying "de dimidia marca" in Oxfordshire[1229].  "...Rob de Harac’t..." witnessed a charter of King John dated 3 Jul 1202[1230]m [ISABEL] de Camville, daughter of RICHARD [II] de Camville of Stanton, Oxfordshire & his wife ---.  Her parentage and marriage are indicated by the 1192/93 Pipe Roll which records “Robertus de Harecourt dominus de Bosewarda” owing for land “in Stanton...Horton et Sutton, in socha de Rooleya, quod eum contingit de hereditate uxoris sue; que rex Henricus [King Henry II] dedit Ricardo de Camvill [Richard [I] de Camville] et heredibus suis, quos habet de Millesent uxore eius, sicut carta domini regis Henrici testatur[1231].  She is named Isabel in secondary sources but the primary source on which this is based has not been identified.  The earliest reference to her name “Isabel” appears to be Dugdale’s mid-17th century Antiquities of Warwickshire Illustrated which names “Isabella soror et hæres [Ric. de Camvile] ux Roberti de Harecurt de Bosworth”, citing the same 1192/93 Pipe Roll entry quoted above which does not name Robert’s wife[1232].  A tomb in Worcester Cathedral records her son “Sir William de Harcourt, son of Sir Robert de Harcourt, and Isabel de Camville, an. 1209[1233].  However, a letter dated 31 Dec 1805 clarifies that this monument was erected in the early 19th century[1234].  The Victoria County History of Oxfordshire cites Hatton’s Book of Seals as the source which names “the elder Richard de Camville’s daughter Isabel” as Robert’s wife[1235], but Hatton’s extract of the charter in question makes no reference to her name although his commentary does say that the heir of Richard de Camville was “his daughter Isabel who married Robert de Harcourt” (citing the same 1192/93 Pipe Roll)[1236].  It is chronologically impossible that Robert [I]’s wife was the daughter of Richard [I] de Camville.  The error seems to be based on Nichols, who says that Robert de Harcourt married “Isabel” daughter of “Milicent, wife of Richard de Camvill [Richard [I] de Camville]”[1237].  Concerning her name, Domesday Descendants says that “Milisent de Camville” was Robert [I]’s wife[1238].  This is presumably based on the 1192/93 Pipe Roll quoted above.  However, a careful reading of that source indicates that the last element “sicut...testatur” applies to the whole clause “que...eius”, indicating that “Millesent uxore eius” was the wife of “Ricardo de Camvill” and was named in the document as mother of “heredibus suis”.  Robert [I] & his wife had four children: 

a)         WILLIAM [I] de Harcourt (-[2 Jan/6 Apr] 1223, bur Worcester Cathedral).  An order was dated to [Jun] 1223 to confiscate "chattels formerly of William de Harcourt" to pay his debt to the king[1239]

-        see below

b)         ALICE de Harcourt (-after Sep 1212).  The 1198/99 Pipe Roll records "Robert de Harcurt" in Warwick and Leicestershires and “the Earl of Warwick accounts for 100 marks for having to wife Robert de Harecurt’s daughter, widow of John de Limesi[1240]m firstly JOHN de Limesey Lord of Cavendish, Suffolk, son of GERARD de Limesey & his wife Amice de Bidun (-1193).  m secondly ([1196/98]) as his second wife, WALERAN Earl of Warwick, son of ROGER Earl of Warwick & his wife Gundred de Warenne of Surrey (-[24 Dec 1203]). 

c)         ROBERT de Harcourt .  King John granted the widow of Guy de Dive to William de Harcourt for his brother Robert in marriage in 1214[1241]m (1214) as her second husband, ---, widow of GUY de Dive, daughter of ---.  King John granted the widow of Guy de Dive to William de Harcourt for his brother Robert in marriage in 1214[1242]

d)         IVO de Harcourt (-before 1216).  King John granted land at Linham, Oxfordshire which was “Ive de Harcourt’s, his brother” to William de Harcourt “our steward” in 1216[1243]

2.         SIMON de Harcourt (-after May 1201).  "…Sim de Hareucort…Rob de Hareucort…" witnessed the charter dated to [1152/67] under which the monks of Leicester abbey authorised the establishment of the church of St Mary the Less, Leicester[1244].  The Rotulus Cancellarii records "Simon de Harocurt" owing for "Seinton et Morton p pl Rob de Harocurt" and other places, in Warwickshire and Leicestershire, dated [27 May 1201/26 May 1202][1245].  The conjunction of their names suggests that Simon and Robert de Harcourt were brothers. 

3.         ALBREDA de Harcourt ([1134/35]-before 25 May 1205).  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[1246].  The Liber Memorandorum Ecclesie de Bernewelle names "Roysia" as second of the three sisters of "Willelmi Peuerel" who inherited the share of their oldest sister Matilda, adding that "de illa processit Albreda de Harecurt" who was mother of "Galfridus Trussebut, Rogerus, Robertus, Willelmus et Ricardus Trussebut", all of whom died "sine herede", and three sisters "Roysia, Hyllaria et Agatha"[1247].  The Rotuli de Dominabus of 1185 records “Alberia de Harwecurt…L annorum…iv filios” and her land “in Branteston…maritagium suum[1248].  Her date of death is indicated by the following document.  King John confirmed “parte suam q eu contingit de terra de Branteston q fuit Albréé de Harecurt avie sue” to [her grandson] “Rob de Ros”, dated 25 May 1205[1249]m WILLIAM [II] Trussebut, son of WILLIAM [I] Trussebut & his wife --- (-[1175/76]). 

4.         [WILLIAM de Harcourt (-before 1199).  His parentage has not been confirmed, but from a chronological point of view he could have been the brother of Robert and Simon de Harcourt.  m AGNES, daughter of --- (-after 1199).  "Agnet q fuit uxor Willi de Harecrt" paid a fine relating to a claim against "Elyam fil Bern et uxorem eius et de hereditate illarum" in Hampshire, dated [1199/1200][1250].] 

5.         [ALICE de Harcourt (-after 1189)The Complete Peerage records her marriage and family origin.  Her parentage has not been confirmed,  From a chronological point of view, she could have been either a daughter of Ivo de Harcourt or of one of his brothers.  m ROBERT [II] de Montfort, son of THURSTAN [II] de Montfort & his wife Juliana Murdac (-before 1185).] 

 

 

1.         ALICE de Harcourt .  The Rotulus Cancellarii records "Alicia de Harecurt" paying a fine to marry whom she wishes in England, in Warwickshire and Leicestershire, dated [27 May 1201/26 May 1202][1251].  This date is too late for Alice to have been the daughter of Robert de Harcourt who is named above.  She may have been the same person as Alice de Harcourt who married Robert [II] de Montfort. 

 

 

WILLIAM [I] de Harcourt, son of ROBERT [I] de Harcourt & his wife Millicent de Camville (-[2 Jan/6 Apr] 1223, bur Worcester Cathedral[1252]).  Lord of Stanton Harcourt (Oxfordshire) and Stretton (Leicestershire)[1253].  He acquired Ellenhall (Staffordshire) from his wife’s family.  Governor of Corfe Castle, Dorset: Matthew Paris records, in 1212, prophecies issued by “in provincia Eboracensi heremita...Petrus” who was handed by King John to "Willelmus de Harecurt” who imprisoned him for three years at Corfe[1254].  Matthew Paris records, in 1218, the arrival at Damieta in Egypt of “...Willelmo de Harecourt cum æquela multa...[1255].  William de Harcourt donated property to the church of Alveley, Shropshire by charter dated 2 Jan 1223 (N.S.)[1256].  An order dated 6 Apr 1223 instructed the Sheriff of Leicester to impound crops of "executores testamenti Willi de Harecurt" until a debt was paid to the king[1257].  An order was dated to [Jun] 1223 to confiscate "chattels formerly of William de Harcourt" to pay his debt to the king[1258]

1.         ARNOUL [Ernulf] de Hesdin (-Antioch [1098])Domesday Book records that “Ernulf de Hesdin” held Farningham, Axton Hundred, and Chelsfield, Helmestrei Hundred, and Cliff and Haven in Shamwell Hundred, in Kent of the bishop of Bayeux, Combe in Hurstbourne Hundred in Hampshire/Berkshire, Newbury in Thatcham Hundred in Berkshire, numerous land-holdings in Wiltshire, land in Dorset including Kington Magna and Melbury, Ruislip in Middlesex[1302].  "Ernulph de Hesding" donated the manor and church of Ruislip, Middlesex to the abbey of Bec[1303].  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][1304]A charter of Stephen King of England dated 1138 confirmed donations to Gloucester St Peter including the donation by "Ernulfi de Hesding et Emelina uxoris eius" of ecclesiam de Nortuna"[1305]"…Ernulfus de Hesding" witnessed the charter dated 27 Jan 1091 under which William II King of England confirmed the status of Bath abbey[1306].  The Chronicle of Hyde records that "Ernulfus de Hednith" was unjustly accused of treason but successfully defended himself by trial of battle (dated to [1096] from the context), and left on Crusade and died at Antioch[1307].  "Patricius" donated "v hidas terræ de Westona" to Bath St Peter, for the souls of "…Arnulfi de Hesding…", by charter dated 14 Sep 1100[1308]m ([after 27 Mar 1085]) [as her second husband,] EMMELINE, [widow of WALTER de Lacy,] daughter of [DREUX de Baladon & his wife ---].  "Emelina uxor Ernulfi de Hestink" donated "ecclesiam de Northona" to Gloucester St Peter by undated charter witnessed by "Rogerus filius Dodonis"[1309].  The parentage of Emmeline, wife of Arnoul de Hesdin, has not been identified with certainty.  However, two sources indicate that she was closely related to the Ballon family.  If that is correct, the chronology suggests that she was the daughter of Dreux de Baladon.  The first source is a charter dated 14 Sep 1100 under which [her grandson] "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", witnessed by "Hamelinus et Winebaldus de Baalun…"[1310].    The second source is a donation to Gloucester St Peter made by [her grandson] "Patricius de Cadurcis" of land "apud Ameneye de feodo suo…[et] apud Ameneye Sancti Nicholai" to Gloucester St Peter, with the confirmation of "rege Henrico seniore"[1311], read together with the donation to the same abbey of land "in Ameneye" made by "Wynebaldus de Balon…et Rogerius filius meus"[1312].  It should also be noted that, if this is correct, her supposed brother Hamelin had a daughter who was also named Emmeline.  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"[1313]A charter of Stephen King of England dated 1138 confirmed donations to Gloucester St Peter including the donation by "Ernulfi de Hesding et Emelina uxoris eius" of ecclesiam de Nortuna"[1314].  [There are indications that Emmeline, wife of Arnoul de Hesdin, was the widow of Walter de Lacy.  Both families made numerous donations to Gloucester St Peter, although it has not yet proved possible to link any of the names of land donated to both families, but most significantly the Historia sancti Petri Gloucestriæ, in a list of holdings, records (in order) donations made by "Walterus de Lacy dedit Leden, Ernulfus de Hesding dedit Lyncoholt, Hermelina de Lacy dedit pro anima viri sui Duntesbourne…"[1315].  The interposition of Arnoul’s name between Walter de Lacy and his wife Emmeline is best explained if he was Emmeline’s second husband.  From a chronological point of view, the two marriages would fit.  It should be emphasised that this suggestion is speculative.]  Arnoul & his wife had three children: 

a)         ARNOUL [Ernulf] de Hesdin (-killed 1138).  Orderic Vitalis records that Ernulf de Hesdin was avunculus of "William fitz Alan castellan and vicecomes of Shrewsbury" and was hanged by King Stephen after the battle of Shrewsbury in 1138[1316]

b)         MATHILDE (-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][1317].  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][1318].  "Patricius de Cadurcis et Matilda uxor mea" donated "unam virgatam in Kynemereforde" to Gloucester St Peter by charter dated 1133[1319]m (before 14 Sep 1100) PATRICK [I] de Chaources, son of PATRICE de Chaources & his wife --- (-after 1133). 

c)         ADELINE [Aveline] (-after 1126).  “Alanus filius Flaaldi et Adelina uxor mea” donated property to Castle Acre Priory by undated charter[1320].  Her parentage is confirmed by Orderic Vitalis who records that Ernulf de Hesdin was avunculus of "William fitz Alan castellan and vicecomes of Shrewsbury"[1321].  It is assumed that her [first] marriage took place early in the reign of Henry I King of England, who sponsored her husband’s rise to prominence in England as shown by the king’s charters in which he is named.  Eyton states that Dugdale intimates that "Dame Adeliza" who donated land at Wolston to Burton abbey, by charter dated to before 1114, was Alan FitzFlaad’s widow and the mother of "Sibil" who with her husband Roger de Freville confirmed her mother’s donation by charter dated 1132[1322].  Henry I King of England confirmed an agreement between the bishop of Norwich and "Avelinam de Hesding" concerning "terra de Ettona" by charter dated to [1121/27][1323].  A charter of Henry II King of England, dated 1176, recites donations to Haughmond abbey including that of "Willielmus filius Alani" of "terram de Piperinges" previously enjoyed by "Aveline matris ipsius Willielmi filius Alani"[1324].  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"[1325].  "Robertus filius Walteri et Avelina uxor sua" donated "ecclesiam de Northona" to Gloucester St Peter by undated charter[1326].  “Margareta uxor Hamonis de Sancto Claro” donated “Stoches...manerium meum cum suis appendiciis de Sudfolchia et Norfolc...sicut...michi pater meus concessit” to Colchester St. John, for the souls of “patris mei Roberti et Aueline matris mee et Johannis fratris mei”, by undated charter[1327]m firstly ([1100/05]) [as his second wife,] ALAIN FitzFlaald, son of FLAALD Seneschal of Dol & his wife --- (-before 1114).  [1328]m secondly as his first wife, ROBERT FitzWalter of Caen, son of --- (-after 1126).  A family connection between Robert FitzWalter and the Giffard family of Gloucestershire is suggested by the undated charter under which "Walterus Giffardus" granted land "in Ullingwike", including part "quæ fuit Roberti filii Walterii", to "Gilberto Giffardo fratri meo"[1329]

2.         ILBOD (-after 1086).  “Ilbodus fr Ernulf de Hesd” is named among landholders in Oxfordshire in Domesday Book[1330].  Ilbod was named as a tenant at Liston, Essex in Domesday Book[1331]

HOSDENC

 

 

1.         HUGUES de Hosdenc (-after [1107]).  "…Hugonem de Hosdeng…" witnessed the charter under which William I King of England confirmed the rights of Ely abbey[1332].  Domesday Book records “Hugh de Houdain” holding Weston in Essex, land in Palling, Norfolk, and Somersham in Suffolk, all from Roger Bigod[1333].  “Willelmi Bigot” donated “medietate terre de Fraituilla” to Saint-Wandrille, with the consent of “Guidone de Roca et filio eius Widone”, by charter dated to [1091/1120], witnessed by “Hugone sororio suo de Hosdenc et Ricardo Oliuier...[1334]m MATILDA Bigod, daughter of --- (-after [1107]).  “Willielmus Bigot, dapifer regis Anglorum” confirmed donations to Thetford Priory, including the donations of “terræ in Daneseia, de maritagio prædictæ Matildis” made by “Hugo de Hosdene et uxor eius Matildis”, by undated charter dated to the reign of King Henry I[1335].  Her parentage is confirmed by the charter dated to [1091/1120] which records the donation made to Saint-Wandrille by “Willelmi Bigot”, witnessed by “Hugone sororio suo de Hosdenc...[1336]The Complete Peerage dates this charter to [1107][1337]

 

 

1.         HUGH de Hosdenc (-before [1206/07])m GUNNOR de Windsor, daughter of WALTER de Windsor & his wife [Christiana de Wiham] (-[1205/06]).  Her parentage and marriage are indicated by the 1206/07 Pipe Roll which records that "Ralf de Hosdeng and Duncan de Lasceles and Christiana his wife account for 240 marks for having the whole land which Walter de Windlesores held of the K. [John] in capite the day he died"[1338].  Hugh & his wife had one child: 

a)         RALPH de Hosdenc .  The 1206/07 Pipe Roll records that "Ralf de Hosdeng and Duncan de Lasceles and Christiana his wife account for 240 marks for having the whole land which Walter de Windlesores held of the K. [John] in capite the day he died"[1339]

 

 

1.         RALPH de Hosdencm ---.  The name of Ralph’s wife is not known.  Ralph & his wife had one child: 

a)         daughter .  The Pipe Roll 1211 records that "Tomas de Nevill" held four and a half knights’ fees "cum herede Radulfi de Hosdeng" before Michaelmas 1211[1340].  m THOMAS de Neville, son of ---. 

 

 

 

KYME

 

 

Farrer records that “In the 12th century the family of Kime were tenants of the bishops of Durham and Lincoln and of the fees of Aincurt, Gant, Hai, Brus, Curci, Percy and Romare, and held land in Friskney, Hackthorne and Sotby of the king in chief…[amounting] in all to not much less than 30 knights’ fees, probably the largest holding of any knightly family in the kingdom[1341]

 

 

1.         WILLIAM de Kyme (-after 1086).  Farrer records that the fee later held by the Kyme family of the bishop of Lincoln in Lincolnshire was in Domesday held by “William, the tenant of Waldin (‘Ingeniator’), the tenant in chief in the Survey[1342]same person as…?  WILLIAM FitzAnschitel ).  Farrer suggested that the father of Simon, named in the Lindsay Survey, “may be identified with some degree of probability as…William the Domesday undertenant of Waldin”, and noted that “The late Mr. W. O. Massiingberd adopted this William son of Anschetill as the progenitor of Kime[1343]m ---.  The name of William’s wife is not known.  William & his wife had one child: 

a)         SIMON de Kyme .  The Lindsey Survey, dated to [1115/18], records "Simon fitz William fitz Anschitel" holding land in Hackthorn[1344].  Farrer says that Simon held “in succession to Waldin the engineer…[as] tenant in chief of 1 ½ car. in Hackthorn”, suggesting that “the most probable conclusion [is] that ‘William’ the man of Waldin…was the ancestor of Kime, that Simon son of William of the Lindsey Survey was his son, and that Simon had an unrecorded son William, father of Simon son of William the founder of the Gilbertine priory of Bullington[1345]m ---.  The name of Simon’s wife is not known. 

 

 

1.         WILLIAM de Kyme .  Farrer suggested that William was the son of Simon who is named above.  He is named in the [1155/60] charter of his son Simon cited below.  No document has been found which names William in his own capacity.  m ---.  The name of William’s wife is not known.  William & his wife had one child: 

a)         SIMON de Kyme (-after [1155/60]).  “Simon filius Willilemi” founded Bullington priory, Lincolnshire, for the soul of “…Agnetis uxoris meæ”, by undated charter, dated to [1155/60], witnessed by "Philippus de Kima et Simon et Walterus filii mei"[1346]m AGNES, daughter of ---.  “Simon filius Willilemi” founded Bullington priory, Lincolnshire, for the soul of “…Agnetis uxoris meæ”, by undated charter, witnessed by "Philippus de Kima et Simon et Walterus filii mei"[1347].  Simon & his wife had four children:

iii)        SIMON de Kyme (-after [1175/81]).  “Simon filius Willilemi” founded Bullington priory, Lincolnshire, for the soul of “…Agnetis uxoris meæ”, by undated charter, witnessed by "Philippus de Kima et Simon et Walterus filii mei"[1350].  "Philippus de Kime" confirmed the donations by "patris mei" of the churches of Bullington and Langton by Wragby by charter dated to [1150/55], witnessed by "…Symon filius Synonis, Willelmus frater eius…"[1351]Philippus de Kima” confirmed the donation “in campis de Medringham…” made to Kirkstead abbey, Lincolnshire by “Symon filius Willelmi, pater meus”, and confirmed other donations, by charter dated 26 Dec 1162, witnessed by “Willielmus filius Simonis, et Simon, et Walterus fratres mei…[1352]"…Symone, Willelmo, Philippo filiis meis, Symone fratre meo Waltero et G[illeberto] filiis meis…" witnessed the charter dated to after 1169 under which "Philippus de Kyma" donated lands in Ingham, Toft and Newton to Bullington priory[1353].  "…Waltero filio meo…Symone filio Symonis…" witnessed the charter dated to the reign of King Henry II under which "Philippus de Kyma" confirmed the donation of "molendinum de Hemmingebi" to Bullington priory by "Rogerus de Millei"[1354].  "Philippo de Kymba, Symone fratre eius, Symone et Willelmo filiis Philippi de Kymba…" witnessed the charter dated to [1175/81] under which Geoffrey Bishop of Lincoln confirmed property of Bullington priory[1355].  "Philippus de Kyma" donated one third of the land of "Geruasii de Haltona in Haltona" to Bullington priory by charter dated to late in the reign of King Henry II, witnessed by "…Symone, Willelmo, Philippo filiis meis, Symone fratre meo…"[1356]

PHILIP de Kyme, son of SIMON de Kyme & his wife Agnes --- (-after 1191).  A charter of King Edward I records the founding of Kyme priory by “Philippus de Kyme miles primus fundator, Simon de Kyme filius Philippi”, dated to the reign of King Henry II[1360].  "Philippus de Kime" confirmed the donations by "patris mei" of the churches of Bullington and Langton by Wragby by charter dated to [1150/55], witnessed by "…Symon filius Synonis, Willelmus frater eius…"[1361].     Philippus de Kima” confirmed the donation “in campis de Medringham…” made to Kirkstead abbey, Lincolnshire by “Symon filius Willelmi, pater meus”, and confirmed other donations, by charter dated 26 Dec 1162, witnessed by “Willielmus filius Simonis, et Simon, et Walterus fratres mei…[1362]Military fee certifications in the Red Book of the Exchequer, in 1166, record that "Philippus de Kyma" held two knights’ fees from "Willelmi de Romara" in Lincolnshire[1363]Johannes d’Aencurt, filius Walteri d’Aencurt” donated land “in campis de Branztun…Et de bosco meo…de Ramilia…” to Kirkstead abbey, Lincolnshire, with the consent of “Aeliciæ sponsæ meæ et hæredum meorum”, by charter dated 11 Sep 1169 at Nottingham, witnessed by “Philippo de Kima vicecomite…[1364]Philippus de Kima et uxor eius Hahewissa” confirmed donations to Bullington priory, Lincolnshire by "Simon filius Willelmi pater meus", by undated charter[1365].  The Red Book of the Exchequer refers to "Philippo de Kime ii m" in Lincolnshire in [1161/62][1366].  "Philippo de Kymba, Symone fratre eius, Symone et Willelmo filiis Philippi de Kymba…" witnessed the charter dated to [1175/81] under which Geoffrey Bishop of Lincoln confirmed property of Bullington priory[1367].  The 1176/77 Pipe Roll names "Philippus de Kime" in Lincolnshire[1368].  "Philippus de Kyma" donated one third of the land of "Geruasii de Haltona in Haltona" to Bullington priory by charter dated to late in the reign of King Henry II, witnessed by "…Symone, Willelmo, Philippo filiis meis, Symone fratre meo…"[1369].  "Domina Hawisa de Kyma sponsa mea, Willelmo filio meo…" witnessed the charter dated 1191 under which "Philippus de Kyma" made provision towards payment of a debt of Bullington priory[1370]

m HAWISE, daughter of --- (-after 1194).  “Philippus de Kima et uxor eius Hahewissa” confirmed donations to Bullington priory, Lincolnshire by "Simon filius Willelmi pater meus", by undated charter[1371].  The parentage of Hawise is unknown.  However, the Red Book of the Exchequer, listing scutage payments in [1190/91], records "Agnes de Percy" paying "xx s per Simonem de Kime, ii milites" in Lincolnshire[1372].  It is assumed that "Simonem de Kime" can be identified as Simon, son of Philip and his wife Hawise.  The connection between Agnes de Percy (presumably the widow of Joscelin de Louvain) and Simon de Kyme has not yet been established.  However, it is highly unusual in the Red Book to find a widow recorded as paying scutage on behalf of another person (this is the only example which has been noted so far during the preparation of the present document).  The entry therefore suggests a close family relationship between the two individuals.  Simon de Kyme was a minor in [1190/91] (a curia regis entry records that "Sim de Kima" replaced "Hawisie matris ipsius Sim" in a lawsuit relating to the dowry of "Agnete de Amundevill" in 1194[1373], demonstrating that he must have acted through his mother as guardian until that date).  The death of his father is estimated in [1189].  In the normal course of events, one would have expected Simon’s mother to have acted on his behalf in transactions in [1190/91].  However, if she was temporarily unavailable for some reason (illness, childbirth…), it is possible that she would have been replaced by her own widowed mother, who would therefore have been Simon’s maternal grandmother.  If this speculation is correct, the wife of Philip de Kyme would have been Hawise, daughter of Joscelin de Louvain & his wife Agnes de Percy.  "Domina Hawisa de Kyma sponsa mea, Willelmo filio meo…" witnessed the charter dated 1191 under which "Philippus de Kyma" made provision towards payment of a debt of Bullington priory[1374]

Philip & his wife had eight or more children (the suggested order of birth of Philip’s sons is based on the order in which their names appear in the various charters which are quoted below, although this does not represent the only possible interpretation of these documents): 

1.         WILLIAM de Kyme (-[1160/70]).  "…Willelmo filio Simonis et Simone fratre eius et Wal--- eius…" witnessed the charter dated to early in the reign of King Henry II under which "Philippus de Kyme" donated the church of Ingham to Bullington priory[1375].  The order of the names of the witnesses in this document suggests that William was the oldest of Philip’s sons at the date of the charter.  However, Philip’s son William is named after his brothers Simon and Philip in other charters (see below).  This suggests that William who is named in the first charter was an otherwise unrecorded oldest son who died young, and whose name was given to another son who was born after his death.  m MARGARET, daughter of ROBERT FitzRobert & his wife Rohese de Clare (-after 1189).  An undated charter records donations to Appleton, including those made by “Willelmi de Kima...in territorio de Eskinton...quas Robertus dapifer pater Margarete uxoris sue eis in obitu suo dimisit[1376]
