TAILLEBOIS

 

 

Loyd indicates that this family originated in Cristot in the present-day French département of Calvados, arrondissement Caen, canton Tilly-sur-Seulles[1]The Taillebois family was studied by Ragg in the late 1920s[2].  He reproduces charters from the mid-13th century but provides no source citations for the earlier period.  Until more information comes to light, his work appears to be of limited value. 

 

 

[Three possible brothers:]

1.         IVO Taillebois [I] (-[1094/95], bur Spalding).  Ragg lists property in Lancashire and Westmorland which Ivo [I] donated to York St. Mary but does not cite his sources[3]"…Ivo Taillebois, Robert de Oilli" witnessed the spurious charter, purportedly dated 25 Dec [1071/75], under which William I King of England donated Chelsea to the monks of Westminster[4].  "…Ivonem Taillebois…" witnessed the charter under which William I King of England confirmed the rights of Ely abbey[5].  “Ivo Taleboys” donated Spalding Monastery to the church of Saint-Nicholas Anjou, for “conjugis suć Lucić et antecessorum Toraldi…uxoris eius” by undated charter[6].  “Ivo Talliebois” donated property to St Mary, York, for the soul of “uxoris meć Lucić”, by undated charter witnessed by “Lucia uxore mea, Ribaldo genero meo, Radulpho Taillebois…[7].  A charter of King Henry II records donations to York St Mary, including the donation of land “in Claxtuna et ecclesiam de Kirkby-Stephen…” by “Ivo Taillebois[8].  Domesday Book records “Ivo Taillebois” holding numerous properties in Lincolnshire[9].  “…Ivonis de Taliber…” witnessed the charter dated Sep 1093 under which William II King of England donated property to Lincoln cathedral[10].  Ingulph's Chronicle of the Abbey of Croyland records the death of "Ivo Taillebois who had always been a most bitter enemy to Croyland" and his burial by "his wife the lady Lucia" in the priory of Spalding[11]m as her first husband, LUCY, daughter of --- (-1138, bur Spalding).  The Chronicon Anglić Petriburgense records "Lucić comitissć…filić Algari comitis Leicestrić" as husband of "Ivo Tailbois comes Andegavensis, dominus Spaldingić et totius Hollandić" and "Toraldus avunculus eiusdem Lucić"[12].  No other source has been yet been identified which names one of the parents of Lucy.  If the source is accurate (and it is a later source), it is not known whether the relationship with Thorold was through Lucy’s father or mother, although if "avunculus" is used in its strict sense (which is not beyond doubt) Thorold was her maternal uncle.  A manuscript recording the foundation of Spalding monastery records that “Yvo Talboys” married "Thoroldo…hćrede Lucia" who, after the death of Ivo, married (in turn) "Rogerum filium Geroldi" and "comitem Cestrić Ranulphum"[13].  “Ivo Taleboys” donated Spalding Monastery to the church of Saint-Nicholas Anjou, for “conjugis suć Lucić et antecessorum Toraldi…uxoris eius” by undated charter[14].  She married secondly (after 1094) Roger FitzGerold.  Ingulph's Chronicle of the Abbey of Croyland records that "his wife the lady Lucia" married "Roger de Romar the son of Gerald de Romar" when "hardly had one month elapsed after the death" of her first husband "Ivo Taillebois"[15].  She married thirdly (1098) Ranulf "Meschin" Vicomte du Bessin.  Ivo [I]  & [his wife] had [two] children: 

a)         [[BEATRIX] .  Assuming that “genero” in the following document was used in its strict sense of son-in-law, Ribald’s wife was Ivo’s daughter: Ivo Talliebois” donated property to St Mary, York, for the soul of “uxoris meć Lucić”, by undated charter witnessed by “Lucia uxore mea, Ribaldo genero meo, Radulpho Taillebois…[16].  The difficulty is that “gener” was sometimes used in medieval documents to indicate brother-in-law.  Ingulph's Chronicle of the Abbey of Croyland records that the "only daughter" of "Ivo Taillebois…[and] his wife the lady Lucia" married "a husband of noble rank" but "died before her father"[17].  It is possible that this passage refers to the wife of Ribald.  Assuming that this was the same wife of Ribald, her name is confirmed by the following document: “Ribaldus frater comitis” donated property to St Mary, York, for the soul of “Alani comitis et Beatricis uxoris meć”, by undated charter[18].  As Ingulph says that Ivo’s daughter predeceased her father, it is possible that Beatrix was a later wife of Ribald and not Ivo’s daughter.  m RIBALD, illegitimate son of EUDES de Bretagne Comte de Penthičvre & his mistress ---.] 

b)         [daughter Domesday Descendants suggests that Ingulph (quoted above) was incorrect and that Ivo Taillebois [I] left a second daughter who was the wife of Eldred, noting that the couple’s grandson William de Lancaster held the barony of Kendal which Ivo had previously held[19].  This is contradicted by an undated manuscript relating to Cockersand Abbey, Lancashire which names “Elthredum” as son of ”Ivo Tailbot[20], although this statement is improbable as no other primary sources indicate that Ivo had sons.  m ELDRED, son of ---.] 

2.         [RALPH Taillebois (-after 1085).  “Ivo Talliebois” donated property to St Mary, York, for the soul of “uxoris meć Lucić”, by undated charter witnessed by “Lucia uxore mea, Ribaldo genero meo, Radulpho Taillebois…[21].  The precise relationship between Ivo Taillebois and Ralph Taillebois is not known, but the positioning of their names in this charter directly after Ivo’s son-in-law suggests that it was close.  Maybe they were brothers.  Domesday Book records that “Peter de Valognes and Ralph Taillebois” took Welbury in Hertfordshire from "Ilbert [who] put it in his manor of Lilley while he was sheriff"[22].  This joint action suggests a family relationship between Ralph and Peter de Valoignes.]  m AZELINA, daughter of ---.  Domesday Book records “Azelina wife of Ralph Taillebois” holding half a hide of land in Soulbury in Cottesloe Hundred from the king in Buckinghamshire; several properties in Bedfordshire[23].  Ralph & his wife had one child: 

a)         daughter (-after 1085).  Domesday Book records that “the daughter of Ralph Taillebois holds in Hunsdon 4 hides of the fief of Hugh de Beauchamp…Ralph Taillebois took it from Stanstead Abbots and attached it to this manor” in Braughing Hundred in Hertfordshire[24]

3.         [WILLIAM Taillebois (-after 1085).  Domesday Book records “William Taillebois” holding West Ashby and Alford in Lincolnshire[25].] 

 

 

The family relationships, if any, between the following individuals and the earlier Taillebois family has not been established.  It should be noted that a mid-15th century source records that three of the sons of Ribald, whose wife may have been the daughter of Ivo Taillebois as shown above, were named “Taillebois”[26].  The accuracy of such a late source to record events which occurred more than 300 years earlier is uncertain, but the document does demonstrate the possibility that the name “Taillebois” was transmitted outside Ivo’s direct family. 

 

Two brothers: 

1.         GUILLAUME Taillebois .  "Guillaume Taillebois" donated land "ŕ Secqueville" to the abbey of Ardennes, Calvados, for his soul and that of "son frčre Robert", by undated charter[27]

2.         ROBERT Taillebois .  "Guillaume Taillebois" donated land "ŕ Secqueville" to the abbey of Ardennes, Calvados, for his soul and that of "son frčre Robert", by undated charter[28]

 

 

1.         AIMERY Taillebois (-after 1204).  Ragg names “Americ Taillebois, also called Thebert...Archdeacon of Carlisle from 1196 with a short interval till at least after 1204[29]

 

2.         IVO Taillebois [II] (-[1212/14]).  A book of fees records that “Ivo de Tailbois” held “baroniam de Hephall cum uxore sua…filia [error for uxor, see other sources quoted below] Will de Bardulf”, previously granted to [a different, from the context] “Will Bardolf” by William I King of England[30].  The Testa de Nevill lists knights who held land in Durham, dated to [1208/10]: "Ivo Talleboys" held "in capite de domino rege Theynagium quod fuit Willelmi filii Willelmi per Elyzabet uxorem suam…"[31].  The Red Book of the Exchequer records "Yvo Taylebois" holding "baroniam de Ephal[ton] cum uxore W[illelmi] Badulfi" with one knight’s fee from King John in Northumberland in [1210/12][32].  The Testa de Nevill includes a writ of King John dated 1212 which records "Yvo Tailleboys" holding "baroniam de Hephale cum uxore qui fuit Willelmi Bardolf quam habet de dono domini Regis Johannis" in Northumberland[33].  His date of death is estimated from the 1214 reference quoted below under his wife.  m ([1206/10]) as her [second/third] husband, ELIZABETH, widow of WILLIAM Bardulf, daughter of [WILLIAM FitzWilliam & his wife ---] (-before 6 Jul 1255).  There is some doubt about Elizabeth’s parentage.  On the one hand, Ragg records the sheriff accounting for receipts from “William son of William” in the Pipe Roll for Northumberland from 1177, ending before 1198 when “William Bardolf” rendered accounts for “taking to wife her who was the wife of William son of William, and for being allowed to place out in marriage three daughters of her and of William son of William[34].  The text of the 1198 Pipe Roll entry has not been checked.  On the other hand, King John confirmed land "in Hepedale et in Kokedale", which "Will fil Will patre predicte Elysabeth tenuit", to "Willelmo Bardulf et Elysabeth uxori sue" by charter dated 25 Apr 1200[35].  Until more information comes to light, judging which version is correct would be speculative.  "Elizabeth q fuit uxor Willi Bard" paid a fine to marry where she will, in Northumberland, dated 1206[36].  A book of fees records that “Ivo de Tailbois” held “baroniam de Hephall cum uxore sua…filia [error for uxor, see other sources quoted below] Will de Bardulf”, previously granted to [a different, from the context] “Will Bardolf” by William I King of England[37].  The Red Book of the Exchequer records "Yvo Taylebois" holding "baroniam de Ephal[ton] cum uxore W[illelmi] Badulfi" with one knight’s fee from King John in Northumberland in [1210/12][38].  The Testa de Nevill includes a writ of King John dated 1212 which records "Yvo Tailleboys" holding "baroniam de Hephale cum uxore qui fuit Willelmi Bardolf quam habet de dono domini Regis Johannis" in Northumberland[39].  Ragg states that “Elizabeth who was the wife of Ivo Tailbois” paid for the king’s writ in 1214[40]The Testa de Nevill includes a list of landholdings in Yorkshire, dated 1219, which includes "uxor Ivonis Talleboys" holding land in Northumberland[41].  An inquisition following a writ dated 6 Jul "40 Hen III", after the death of "Elizabeth Taylebois alias Taylboes", names "Robert Taylboes her son aged 40 at least is her heir" and lists one unspecified knight’s fee in Northumberland[42].  Ivo [II] & his wife had [two] children: 

a)         ROBERT Taillebois [I] (before 1215-before 18 Oct 1256).  Ragg states that Robert was the son of Elizabeth, wife of Ivo [II], although he does not say that Ivo was his father[43].  His parentage appears confirmed by his mother’s inquisition (see above).  “Robertus Taylebois” confirmed “terram meam de Banton et Ascumbe” to “Roberto le Franceis filio Hugonis le Franceis de Westmerland et Elychabet uxori sue” by charter dated to [1235][44]An inquisition following a writ dated 18 Oct "41 Hen III", after the death of "Robert Tayleboys alias Taleboys", names "Robert his son is his heir and of full age" and “Margery late his wife is dowered by the command of the queen”, listing one unspecified knight’s fee in Northumberland[45]m MARGERY, daughter of --- (-after 1259).  An inquisition following a writ dated 18 Oct "41 Hen III", after the death of "Robert Tayleboys alias Taleboys", names “Margery late his wife is dowered by the command of the queen[46]Ragg says that Robert’s widow (whom he does not name) claimed land “in Clifburne” from “Robert le Franceys” in 1259[47].  Robert [I] & his wife had one child: 

i)          ROBERT Taillebois [II] (-before 18 Oct 1281).  An inquisition following a writ dated 18 Oct "41 Hen III", after the death of "Robert Tayleboys alias Taleboys", names "Robert his son is his heir and of full age"[48].  An inquisition following a writ dated 7 Jun "9 Edw I", after the death of "Robert Taylleboys alias Taillebois", names “Luke his son aged 23 is his next heir” and a moiety of the manor of “Hephale...and of the town of Tossan” as one knight’s fee in Northumberland[49]m ---.  The name of Robert’s wife is not known.  Robert [II] & his wife had one child: 

(a)       LUKE Taillebois ([1257/58]-).  An inquisition following a writ dated 7 Jun "9 Edw I", after the death of "Robert Taylleboys alias Taillebois", names “Luke his son aged 23 is his next heir[50]

b)         [ELIZABETHRobertus Taylebois” confirmed “terram meam de Banton et Ascumbe” to “Roberto le Franceis filio Hugonis le Franceis de Westmerland et Elychabet uxori sue” by charter dated to [1235][51].  The inclusion in this document of the grantee’s wife suggests that she may have been related to the grantor.  Could she have been Robert Taillebois’s sister?  m ROBERT le Franceys, son of HUGH le Franceys & his wife ---.] 

 

3.         IVO de Taillebois [III] .  "Yvonem de Taillebois" donated "ecclesie et juris patronatus de Cristot" to Vendôme La-Trinité, undated[52].  The identity of the donor, whether he was the same person as Ivo Taillebois [II], or even whether he was a member of the English Taillebois family at all, has not been ascertained. 

 

 

 

TOTNES

 

 

1.         ALUREDm ---.  The name of Alured’s wife is not known.  Alured & his wife had one child: 

a)         JUHEL de Totnes (-[1099/1129]).  [“…Whali [Rahel?] filii Aluredi…” witnessed the charter dated 1082 under which William I King of England granted land at Covenham to the church of St Calais[53].  It appears likely that "Whali" is a transcription error for "Juheli".]  His parentage is confirmed by the undated charter under which “Joelis filii Aluredi” founded Barnstaple Priory[54].  His name suggests Breton origin.  Domesday Book records “Iudichael of Totnes” holding numerous properties in Devonshire, and Froxton in Cornwall[55].  “Juhellus filius Aluredi” founded Totness Priory by undated charter, dated to the reign of William II King of England[56].  An undated charter records that King William II expelled “Juhello de Totenesio" from "hćreditatem eius" and granted it to "Rogerio de Novant” founded Totness Priory by undated charter, dated to the reign of William II King of England[57]m --- de Picquigny, daughter of ---.  A "sśur de Guermond de Picquigny, mariée en Angleterre avec un riche seigneur nommé Joelle de Totenes" is referred to in the De Miraculis sanctć Marić Laudunensis[58].  Juhel & his wife had [three] children: 

i)          ALURED (-after 1136).  The 1130 Pipe Roll records "Alur fil Johel" accounting for "terre patris sui" in Devonshire[59].  The Gesta Stephani Regis records that "Aluredo filio Joelis" held out against the king, after helping his friend Baldwin de Reviers at the siege of Exeter, following the surrender of most of his followers, dated to [1136][60]

ii)         ELEANOR .  "Philippus de Brausia" confirmed the donations to the church of Saints Gervais et Protais de Briouze, by "pater eius Guillemus de Brausia", by charter dated 5 Jan [1096], with the consent of "uxor eius Aanor et Guillelmus filius suus"[61].  Her parentage is confirmed by the undated charter under which “Willielmus de Braosa” confirmed donations to Barnstaple Priory by "Johelis avi sui" by undated charter[62]m PHILIP [I] de Briouse, son of GUILLAUME [I] de Briouse & his wife --- ([1060/70]-[1131/39]). 

iii)        [daughter .  The primary source which confirms her parentage and marriage has not yet been identified.   It is probably speculative, designed to explain how the Tracy family held part of the honour of Barnstaple (the other part of which was in the hands of the Briouse family, inherited through Juhel de Totnes’s recorded daughter Eleanor): the 1176/77 Pipe Roll names "Oliverus de Traci…pro parte sua de honore de Berdestapl" in Devonshire[63]Domesday Descendants comments that the honour of Barnstaple "probably came to [Henry de Tracy] by grant of King Stephen, against whom Alfred [fitz Juhel] had fought in the previous year, though the possibility that his wife was a sister of Alfred cannot be excluded"[64].  Stapleton is more specific, stating that Oliver de Tracy held "a moiety of the Honour of Barnstaple…through the grant of King Stephen to his father Henry de Tracy, but which grant had been made to the prejudice of the heir of the former possessor Joel son of Alured, who was the grandfather of William de Briouze"[65]m --- de Tracy, son of ---.] 

 

 

 

TRACY

 

 

Loyd says that “the actual place from which the family took its name is a difficult question.  At first sight there is much to be said for Tracy-sur-Mer (Calvados, arrondissement Bayeux, canton Ryes)...[but] it is shown by the Bayeux Inquest of 1133 that [the place] was then held by William Picot, [therefore] such a theory becomes untenable.  Two other places of the name remain – Tracy-Bocage (Calvados, arrondissement Caen, canton Villers-Bocage) and Tracy a fief in Neuville (Calvados, arrondissement and canton Vire).  As regards the first it lies wide of any of the ascertained lands of the family...[the second] is somewhat more hopeful...whatever the origin of the name...the Tracies were under-tenants in the département of La Manche of the comté of Mortain.  In view of this it is not without significance that Stephen was count of Mortain and that Henry de Tracy of Barnstaple was the king’s most prominent and persistent adherent in Devon”[66]

 

The Tracy family provides yet another example of bogus descents which were fabricated in later centuries, presumably to provide more illustrious ancestors for contemporary family members.  The result for the present-day is considerable confusion and inaccurate information in many published secondary sources.  The following is an attempt at finding a way through the puzzle, but it does not claim to provide the definitive answer to all the difficulties. 

 

 

A.      TRACY of BARNSTAPLE, DEVONSHIRE

 

 

Two siblings, parents not identified. 

1.         WILLIAM de Tracy (-after 1110).  “William de Tracy" donated property to Mont Saint-Michel on becoming a monk there by charter dated 1110, signed by "…Guillelmi de Traceio, Rohes[ie] uxoris sue, Turgisi filii sui, Henrici filii sui, Gieve sororis sue[67].  William presumably died soon afterwards.  m ROHESE, daughter of --- (-after 1110).  “William de Tracy" donated property to Mont Saint-Michel on becoming a monk there by charter dated 1110, signed by "…Guillelmi de Traceio, Rohes[ie] uxoris sue, Turgisi filii sui, Henrici filii sui, Gieve sororis sue[68].  William & his wife had [three] children: 

a)         TURGISE [I] de Tracy (-after 1110).  “William de Tracy" donated property to Mont Saint-Michel on becoming a monk there by charter dated 1110, signed by "…Guillelmi de Traceio, Rohes[ie] uxoris sue, Turgisi filii sui, Henrici filii sui, Gieve sororis sue[69].  

b)         HENRY de Tracy ).  “William de Tracy" donated property to Mont Saint-Michel on becoming a monk there by charter dated 1110, signed by "…Guillelmi de Traceio, Rohes[ie] uxoris sue, Turgisi filii sui, Henrici filii sui, Gieve sororis sue[70].  same person as...?  HENRY de Tracy of Barnstaple (-[1164/65]).  “Henricus de Traci…cum filio meo Olivero” donated property to Barnstaple Priory by charter dated 1146[71].  The 1164/65 Pipe Roll records "Oliverus de Traci" owing ".D. m p parte sua de Honore de Barnestapl" in Devonshire, maybe indicating the recent death of his father[72].  m [firstly] (after [1130/35]) as her second husband, CECILY de Rumilly, widow of WILLIAM FitzRanulf, daughter and heiress of ROBERT de Rumilly [Romilly] of Skipton & his wife ---.  Domesday Descendants notes that Cecily de Rumilly married as her second husband "Henry de Tracy of Barnstaple", without citing the corresponding primary source, but adds that "there is no evidence to suggest that she was the mother of Henry de Tracy’s heir Oliver"[73].  No source has been found which indicates her date of death.  m [secondly] HAWISE, daughter of ---.  Her marriage is indicated by an undated charter which confirms that her grandson "domini Henrici de Tracy" requested a daily mass at Pilton St James, for the souls of "Henrici de Traci avi sui et Oliveri patris sui et Hawysić avć suć"[74].  Assuming that this is the only mention of Hawise, it is presumably possible that she was either Henry’s paternal or maternal grandmother, although her being named with his father and paternal grandfather (and without his maternal grandfather) suggests the likelihood that she was his paternal grandmother.  If that is correct, no indication has been found to suggest the order of Henry’s marriages, although the date of death of Hawise’s son Oliver suggests the unlikelihood that he was born before [1130/35] and therefore that Hawise was her husband’s first wife.  This suggestion may be subject to change if a source emerges which confirms that Cecily de Rumilly survived after [1140].  Henry & his [second] wife had one child:

i)          OLIVER de Tracy ([1140?]-[1208/11]).  “Henricus de Traci…cum filio meo Olivero” donated property to Barnstaple Priory by charter dated 1146[75]

-        see below

c)         [WILLIAM de Tracy (-after [1135/49]).  “...Jordanus, Robertus et Henricus de Barnevilla, Guillelmus de Tracei...” witnessed the charter dated to [1135/49] under which “Philippus de Carteret” donated “decimam Sancti Audoeni in Gersoi” to Mont-Saint-Michel[76].  William’s parentage is not known, but the chronology suggests that he may have been another son of William.] 

2.         GEVA (-after 1110).  “William de Tracy" donated property to Mont Saint-Michel on becoming a monk there by charter dated 1110, signed by "…Guillelmi de Traceio, Rohes[ie] uxoris sue, Turgisi filii sui, Henrici filii sui, Gieve sororis sue[77]

 

 

OLIVER de Tracy, son of HENRY de Tracy & his [second] wife Hawise --- ([1140?]-[1209/10]).  “Henricus de Traci…cum filio meo Olivero” donated property to Barnstaple Priory by charter dated 1146[78].  His birth date is estimated very approximately on the assumption that Oliver was a young child in 1146, that his mother was Henry’s second wife as discussed above, and bearing in mind his date of death.  His parentage is indicated by the 28 Jan 1196 document cited below, which confirms that all the sources cited in this paragraph relate to the same Oliver, son of Henry.  The 1164/65 Pipe Roll records "Oliverus de Traci" owing ".D. m p parte sua de Honore de Barnestapl" in Devonshire, maybe indicating the recent death of his father[79]The Red Book of the Exchequer refers to "Oliver de Tracy xvii l x s" in Devonshire in [1167/68][80].  The same source records enfeoffments in the duchy of Normandy in [1172], "Oliverus de Tracieio" with one knight "de vicecomitatu de Cerenciis" and four knights in his own service[81].  The 1176/77 Pipe Roll names "Oliverus de Traci…pro parte sua de honore de Berdestapl" in Devonshire[82].  The 1184/85 Pipe Roll records the sheriff of Devon’s payment “de firma de Boui terra Oliveri de Traci postquam captus fuit[83].  No details regarding Oliver’s capture have been found, but presumably he was not detained for long as the 1185/86 Pipe Roll records “terre Oliveri de Traci in Deuenescira” unqualified by any capture[84].  The Red Book of the Exchequer, listing scutage payments in [1194/95], names "Olyver de Tracy" among those granted delay in payment "per brevia" in Devonshire[85].  The Feet of Fines records an agreement 28 Jan 1196 settling a claim by "Will de Breosa" against "Oliver de Traci" for "medietate honoris de Bordestapl", tracing the alienations made by "predicto Olivero vel Henrico patre suo"[86].  Some details from Reichel’s translation of this document: “...if the said Oliver should have an heir by his espoused wife...born after the term of this concord”, “the wife of the said Oliver should outlive Oliver [she] shall have her dower...the manor of Boui [Bovey Tracy]”, and “...feofments made before the term of this concord...by the aforesaid Oliver or by Henry his father shall be firm & valid [specifying several enfeoffments made both by Henry and by Oliver]...donations made before the end of this concord by the said Oliver or by Henry his father...[87].  "…Will de Traceio [see below], Oliv de Traceio" both paid rent on land in Normandy, dated 1198[88].  The Red Book of the Exchequer records payments in Devon dated 1199/1200 including "Henricus de Tracy [see below] lm et dimidiam" and “...Oliver[us] de Tracy...” under “Quieti per brevia[89].  "Oliver de Traci" paid a fine for "heritanda baroń Willi de Traci" [see below] in Devonshire, dated [1199/1200][90].  The Rotulus Cancellarii records "Oliverus de Traci" owing in Devonshire, dated [27 May 1201/26 May 1202][91].  "Lucia de Moon […terre de Moon]…Will de Traceio…versus Oliv de Traceio" all paid rent in "Ballia Constancien" in Normandy, dated 1203[92].  A document dated 20 Jun 1205 records a hearing between “Oliver de Trasci plaintiff” and “William de Champeaus defendant” relating to the latter’s service of “7 knights which Oliver demands from William for the tenement which he holds of Oliver in...[93].  His death date is indicated by the 1210/11 Pipe Roll entry cited under his widow, Papin noting that “le délai de viduité aprčs le décčs du mari imposait ŕ la veuve...de [se] retirer du marché matrimonial...l’Eglise définit...le droit des veuves ŕ se remarier dans l’année suivant le décčs de l’époux”, which suggests that Oliver died [1209/10][94]

[m firstly ---.  No primary source has been identified which confirms this supposed first marriage.  However, considering the [1196/97] estimated birth date of Oliver’s son Henry (see below), as well as Oliver’s own suggested birth date, it is likely that he had an earlier wife before he married Henry’s mother.  As the 28 Jan 1196 document cited above indicates that Oliver was childless at that time, any children born of this supposed earlier marriage presumably died young.] 

m [secondly] (before 28 Jan 1196) as her first husband, EVA, daughter of --- (before [1180/82?]-[Godstow?] after [1242/43]).  The 28 Jan 1196 document cited above indicates that Oliver was married at the time, without children, so may have married recently.  This [second] wife was the mother of Oliver’s son Henry (born [1196/97], see below), while the 1210/11 Pipe Roll cited below confirms that Oliver’s [second] wife was Eva.  Her suggested birth “before [1180/82?]” would be consistent with her sister being the mother of King John’s illegitimate son Oliver (follow Eva’s hyperlink for details).  Stapleton records that “Oliver, son of Henry de Tracy...survived till 12 Joh. 1211 [=1210/11], when Eva, his relict, wife first of Thomas de Londres, made proffer of 120 marks for assignation of dower and license of marrying at will” (no source citation)[95], confirming that Eva was Oliver’s widow when he died.  Eva married secondly ([1210/11?]) Thomas [II] de London.  As noted above, Stapleton names Eva as “wife first of Thomas de Londres”.  This phrase does not appear in the original source: the 1210/11 Pipe Roll records that “Eva que fuit uxor Oliveri de Traci” made a fine “pro habenda dota sua...de tenemento quod fuit Oliveri viri sui, et pro habendo maritagio suo”, and in a later entry that “Eva que fuit uxor Oliveri de Traci” owed a debt “pro habenda custodia filii sui heredis Oliveri de Traci cum tota terra quam habuit die qua obiit...[96].  Thomas was therefore Eva’s second husband and Stapleton incorrect. 

King Henry III ordered the sheriff of Wiltshire to leave in peace (“in pace esse permittat”) “manerium de Hamedon ita qd Eva de Tracy et Hawis mater Oliveri fratris dni Reg...” (“...habebant inde ronable estuveriu suu sn wasto usq”?), in accordance with a council decision in London 29 Sep, dated 2 Oct 1217[97].  King Henry III ordered the sheriff of Wiltshire to grant “plenam seisinam de terra de Hanedon...q habuit de baillio Com W. Mar rectoris nostri...cui Wills de London eam invadiavit p sexaginta marc”, noting that “terram illam habebat done Eva de Trasey q clamat terram illam e.e dotem suam”, to [Hawise’s son] “Olivero fratri meo” who ”de predictis sexaginta marc satisfecit”, dated 14 Mar 1218[98].  The Testa de Nevill lists landholdings, dated 1219, which include "Eva de Trascey est de donatione domini regis et non est maritata, et valet terra eius in Esgarestona quam tenet de domino rege" in Berkshire "Rotulus eschćtarum... in hundredo de Launburn", and in Devonshire "terra sua de Bovy"[99].  King Henry III ordered the sheriff of Berkshire “qd statim visis literis cap in manu dni R totam terram Fulconis fil Warini et Eve de Trascy et sororis sue in bailla sua” for (“pp”) “fil et hede Thom London que dno R detinent qui ee debet in custodia dni R”, dated 10 Jan 1219[100] (mistranslated by the Fine Rolls Project: "take into the king’s hands" the lands of "Fulk fitz Warin and Eva de Tracy and her sister on account of the son [error for daughter] and heir of Thomas de London, who they detain from the king")[101].  King Henry III ordered the sheriff of Devon that, “[si] fil et heres Thom de Lond inventa fuerit in bailla sua” (unless in the custody of the king) or “si abducta fuerit a bailla sua”, he should take “in manu dni R...totam terram Eve de Trascy matris sue in bailla sua”, dated 26 Jan 1219[102].  "Eva de Tracy" paid a fine for "having a weekly market…at her manor of Bovey", dated 23 Oct 1219[103].  An undated document [between documents dated 26 Dec 1219 and 30 Dec 1219] records that “Willus Crassus primogenitus” made a fine to King Henry for “habiendo in uxorem filiam et heredem Thome de Lond”, payment guaranteed by ten named subscribers[104].  King Henry III notified the sheriff of Dorset and Somerset that “Willelmus Crassus” had made a fine for “habienda custodia terre q fuit Thome de London cum maritagio Hawisie filie et heredis ipsius Thome” and ordered him to transfer “eidem Willelmo omnibus terris...q fuerunt ipsius Thome in bailla tua plenariam saisinam”, dated 21 Jul 1220[105].  King Henry III ordered the sheriff of Wiltshire to disseise “Eva de Trasey de terra sua q tenuit in dote in Baillia tua”, when he granted “saisina...Willo Crasso seniori de terris q fuerunt Thome de Lond in Bailla tua”, dated 7 Aug 1220[106].  “Reso Crek” was ordered to return “terras...q fuerunt Thome de London” to “Willo Crasso”, to whom the king granted ”custodiam terre q fuit ipsius Thome cum maritagio Hawisie filie et heredis ipsius Thome”, dated 26 May 1221[107].  King Henry III notified the sheriff of Wiltshire that “Eva de Trascy” had made a fine for “transgressione quam fecit erga nos eo qd maritavit Hawisiam filiam suam...sine licencia nostra”, dated 23 Jun 1222[108].  The Pipe Roll 1223 records “Eva de Tracy...quia maritavit Hawisam filiam suam sine licencia R. que fuit de donatione sue” owing in “Nova Oblata” in Devon[109].  “Eva de Tracy” is named in a document dated [1231/32][110].  The Testa de Nevill lists "Feuda Fulconis Filii Warini" in Wiltshire which include "Eva de Bassingeburn [see below] tenet in Westbur dimidium feudum i militis de Eva de Tracy, et ipsa de dicto Fulcone, et Fulco de rege in capite", dated to [1242/43][111].  An undated document records the request for “nobili matrona, domina Eva de Tracy” to stay at Godstow nunnery[112].  Some background to Eva’s earlier life is provided by inquisitions dated 5 Jan 1253 which record that “the manor of Bovy never paid sheriff’s aid in the time of Oliver de Tracy, father of the said Henry...[who] fell into the custody of King John and Eva his mother had her dower of the said money, and she dwelling in distant parts allowed her bailiffs to pay sometimes more, sometimes less...[113]

Oliver & his second wife had [two] children: 

1.         HENRY de Tracy ([1196/97]-before 21 Aug 1274).  The 28 Jan 1196 document, cited above under his father, indicates that Oliver and his wife had no children at that time.  As Henry was presumably considered adult at the time of the Jun 1213 order cited below, he was probably born soon afterwards, say [1196/97].  His parentage is confirmed by the 5 Jan 1253 inquisitions cited below.  King John notified the sheriff of Devon that he had returned “Barnestapel et Tavistok et totum honorem de Barnestapel...parte illam qm Wills de Braos tenuit qm alia qm Oliver de Trascy tenuit” to “Henry de Trascy”, dated Jun 1213[114].  An undated charter confirms that "domini Henrici de Tracy" requested a daily mass at Pilton St James, for the souls of "Henrici de Traci avi sui et Oliveri patris sui et Hawysić avć suć"[115].  "Henr de Trascy" is named among the guarantors for a pledge of "Roberti de Ferariis" for a fine for "hnda fil Willelmi de Boclaund cum hereditate sua", dated [Oct] 1216[116].  A document dated 12 Mar 1219 records a hearing between “Cecily, daughter of Arthur de Winton, plaintiff” and “Henry de Tracy, opponent” relating to rent held from the latter “in which they were accustomed to render that rent to Oliver de Tracy, father of the said Henry...[117].  An order dated 2 Apr 1219 records "Henry de Tracy" repaying part of a debt[118].  The Pipe Roll 1223 includes land of “Henricus de Tracy...de dimidio feodo quod est in manu R. de feodis Oliveri de Tracy” in Devon[119].  A document dated 30 Jun 1228 records a hearing between “Philip Le Bealde, claimant” and “Henry de Tracy & Matilda his wife, opponents” relating to land in “Fislega[120].  Inquisitions dated 5 Jan 1253 record that “the manor of Bovy never paid sheriff’s aid in the time of Oliver de Tracy, father of the said Henry...[who] fell into the custody of King John and Eva his mother had her dower of the said money, and she dwelling in distant parts allowed her bailiffs to pay sometimes more, sometimes less...[121].  Inquisitions after a writ dated 21 Aug "2 Edw I" following the death of "Henry de Tracy" name “Maud daughter of his daughter whom Geoffrey de Caunville lately took to wife aged 31 at Christmas in the said year is his next heir”, adding that “he had a daughter Eva married to Guy de Bryane from whom was born Maud whom Geoffrey de Caunvile lately married”, and list the deceased’s properties in Barnstaple and numerous other places in Devonshire[122]m (before 30 Jun 1228) MATILDA, daughter of ---.  A document dated 30 Jun 1228 records a hearing between “Philip Le Bealde, claimant” and “Henry de Tracy & Matilda his wife, opponents” relating to land in “Fislega[123].  Drake, in a short Braose pedigree, records that “Loretta countess of Leicester” [daughter of William [III] de Briouse] granted “the manor and advowson of Tawstock, co. Devon” to “her niece Matilda and the heirs of her body”, citing a writ dated 1391 and adding that the same document confirms that William [IV] de Briouse was the grantor’s brother[124].  Drake also states that Matilda, the grantee, married “Henry de Tracy Lord of Barnstaple, ob. 2 Edw I (1273-4)”, but does not cite the primary source which confirms that her parentage is correct.  However, he does record that the manor of Tawstock (presumably Tavistock) was later held by the second husband of Matilda, daughter of Eva de Tracy and heir of Henry de Tracy according to the inquisitions quoted above.  From a chronological point of view, Drake’s indication appears possible.  If it is correct, Henry’s wife was MATILDA [de Briouse], daughter of WILLIAM [IV] de Briouse & his wife Matilda ---.  Henry & his wife had two children: 

a)         EVA de Tracy (-before 21 Aug 1274).  Inquisitions after a writ dated 21 Aug "2 Edw I" following the death of "Henry de Tracy" name “Maud daughter of his daughter whom Geoffrey de Caunville lately took to wife aged 31 at Christmas in the said year is his next heir”, adding that “he had a daughter Eva married to Guy de Bryane from whom was born Maud whom Geoffrey de Caunvile lately married[125]m GUY de Brian of Laugharne, co. Carmarthen, son of --- (-1307). 

b)         HENRY de Tracy ([May] [1237/38]-before 1274).  A writ dated 10 Jan "33 Hen III", after the death of "Gunnora de la Mare" names "Henry, son of Henry Tracy her uncle, aged 13 at Whitsunday, 35 Hen III, and a son of Henry de la Mare, whose name is unknown, aged 15, are variously stated to be her heir" and "Elveiscot alias Elfeiscot, Alfiscot [Oxford]…Winterburne [Wiltshire]"[126]

2.         [EVA [de Tracy] (-after [1242/43]).  Papin records her parentage (no source cited)[127].  The Testa de Nevill lists "Feuda Fulconis Filii Warini" in Wiltshire which includes "Eva de Bassingeburn tenet in Westbur dimidium feudum i militis de Eva de Tracy, et ipsa de dicto Fulcone, et Fulco de rege in capite", dated to [1242/43][128].  The primary source which confirms her parentage more precisely has not been identified, although her family origin and marriage are indicated by the folloing document:  “Paganus de Cadurcis filius et hćres dominć Hawisić de Londonia” donated land to Whiteland, Carmarthenshire, for the souls of “dominorum Thomć de Londonia, Patricii de Cadurcis, Will. et Mauricii de Londonia, Warini de Bassingburne [presumably Eva’s husband], dominć Evć de Tracy, Aleys et Gundre defunctorum”, by charter dated May 1270[129].  The primary sources which confirm Warin’s parentage, the date of his marriage, and his date of death have not been identified.  m WARIN de Bassingbourn, son of ---.] 

 

 

1.         FARAMUS de Tracy (-after 4 Jan 1219).  "Farramus de Tracy" paid a fine "for having a pone" in a claim against "Ralph de Satchville" relating to land "in Broad Clyst" in Devonshire, dated 4 Jan 1219[130]

1.         WILLIAM de Tracy (-[1172/1200]).  Lord of the barony of Bradnich, Devon[131]Henry II King of England confirmed the property of the abbey of Saint-Martin de Troarn, including donations by "…Willelmi de Traceio…" of "molendinum de Trebuchet et decimum molendinorum suorum de Sancto Vigore", by charter dated to [1155/57][132]A charter dated to [1154/87] records that “W[illiam] de Traceio" built a house for lepers "at Coismas” but assigned its revenues to "Alan the clerk brother to the said W[illiam]"[133].  Military fee certifications in the Red Book of the Exchequer, in 1166, record that "Willelmus de Tracy" held one knight’s fee from the bishop of Exeter in Devon[134].  The Red Book of the Exchequer refers to "Willelmus de Tracy xvii l x s" in Devonshire in [1167/68][135].  "…Willelmo de Traci…Ricardo Britone" subscribed the charter dated 1168 under which Henry II King of England confirmed the property "in manerio de Hinton" of "Roberto de Basoges" granted to him by "comes Conanus"[136].  He was one of the murderers of Thomas Becket Archbishop of Canterbury.  Ralph de Diceto’s Ymagines Historiarum record that “Willelmus de Traci, Reginaldus filius Ursi, Hugo de Morevilla, Ricardus Brito” murdered the archbishop at Canterbury in 1171 and relate the subsequent events in detail[137]The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines names "militum…Richardus Brito, Hugo de Morevilla, Renaldus Ursus et Guillelmus de Traci" as the murderers of Thomas Archbishop of Canterbury[138].  The Red Book of the Exchequer records enfeoffments in the duchy of Normandy in [1172], "Willelmus de Traceio" with one knight "de baillia de Basseis" and five knights in his own service[139].  "Hugo de Corterua" confirmed the donation made by "dominus Willermus de Traci avunculus meus", before the murder of the archbishop of Canterbury, to "Alano de Traci clerico" by charter dated to [1180], witnessed by "Olivero de Traci…"[140].  "Willelmus de Pyreu" paid a fine for the lands of "terra Willelmi de Tracy sic id Will eam habuit die que obiit", at "Constanc’ et Vire", dated 1200[141].  Stapleton records that "a copy of the Roll of Infeudations subsequent to the separation of Normandy" confirms that the land in question was the same as that held by Turgise de Tracy, specifying that after "Turgisus de Traceyo…Guillelmus de Pirou habet"[142].  "Oliver de Traci" paid a fine for "heritanda baroń Willi de Traci" in Devonshire, dated [1199/1200][143].  A writ dated 10 Nov "3 Edw I" into the manor of Morton records that "William de Tracy, who held the barony of Braneys and Morton of the king in chief, took part in the martyrdom of St Thomas of Canterbury, for which deed he went into exile and the barony became escheat of King Henry [II]"[144]m ---.  The name of William’s wife is not known.  William & his wife had [two] children: 

a)         [TURGISE [II] de Tracy (-after [1172]).  The Red Book of the Exchequer records enfeoffments in the duchy of Normandy in [1172], "Turgillus de Traceio ii milites et ad servitium suum viii milites" in the fief of Mortain[145].]

2.         ALAN de Tracy (-after [1180]).  A charter dated to [1154/87] records that “W[illiam] de Traceio" built a house for lepers "at Coismas” but assigned its revenues to "Alan the clerk brother to the said W[illiam]"[152].  "Hugo de Corterua" confirmed the donation made by "dominus Willermus de Traci avunculus meus" before the murder of the archbishop of Canterbury to "Alano de Traci clerico" by charter dated to [1180], witnessed by "Olivero de Traci…"[153]

a)         ROBERT [II] de Tresgoz (-before 24 Sep 1268).  The Fine Rolls record the homage of “Robti Tresgoz fil et hered Sybil de Ewyas” 1 Jul 1236[206].  “Robert Tregoz the younger” donated “the whole fosse which is between the land which belonged to Walter de Welynton and the water which is called Duneleis” to Ewias Priory by charter dated to [1235/65] witnessed by “William my brother...[207]m (before 1 Aug 1245) JULIANE de Cauntelo, daughter of WILLIAM de Cauntelo & his wife Melisende de Gournay (-after 1282).  “Richard de Ewias son of John de Ewias” granted certain rents in Foy to “Juliana de Tregoz widow of Robert de Tregoz” by charter dated to [1265/85][208].  "Dame Julian Tresgoze…espouse…a Sr Robert Tresgoos le Second" wrote to "son frčre St Thomas de Cantlow, Euesque…de Hereford" and names her son "John Tresgoos" married "la reyne Blanch" [widow of Louis VIII King of France, such a second marriage being impossible chronologically] and had "un fils…Hugh…nostre ayle", who married "la soer le count Renaud de Boloyng", whose daughter "Milsent nostre mere" married "a Count de Euoyse en Normandy" by whom she had one son and one daughter, before marrying "Will de Cantelow nostre pere"[209].  Robert [II] & his wife had two children: 

i)          JOHN de Tresgoz (-before 6 Sep 1300).  "Dame Julian Tresgoze…espouse…a Sr Robert Tresgoos le Second" wrote to "son frčre St Thomas de Cantlow, Euesque…de Hereford" and names her son "John Tresgoos" married "la reyne Blanch" [widow of Louis VIII King of France, such a second marriage being impossible chronologically] and had "un fils…Hugh…nostre ayle", who married "la soer le count Renaud de Boloyng", whose daughter "Milsent nostre mere" married "a Count de Euoyse en Normandy" by whom she had one son and one daughter, before marrying "Will de Cantelow nostre pere"[210].  He was summoned to parliament in 1297 whereby he is held to have become Lord Tresgoz.  A writ dated 6 Sep "28 Edw I", after the death of "John Tregoz alias de Tregoz", names "John la Warre his grandson (nepos) […aged 24, son of Clarice la Warre his eldest daughter who is dead…married to Roger la War] and Sibyl the wife of William de Grauntcoun (alias de Grandissono) his […younger] daughter […aged 30 and more] both aged 21 and more are his next heirs"[211]m firstly as her second husband, MABEL, widow of WILLIAM de Crčvecśur, daughter of FULK [IV] FitzWarin & his [first/second] wife [--- de Clifford/Constance de Tosny] (-before 24 May 1297).  "Dame Julian Tresgoze…espouse…a Sr Robert Tresgoos le Second" records that her son "John Tresgoos" married "Mabill file a noble…chevalier Foulk Fitz-Warren qui avoit a feme le soer Sr Rog de Clifford"[212].  It is suggested that the last reference to Mabel’s mother as a member of the Clifford family represents an error.  If it is correct, John de Tresgoz and his wife would have been very closely related, presumably first cousins, as Roger [II] de Clifford and John de Tresgoz’s father were uterine brothers.  From a chronological point of view, it is likely that Mabel was the daughter of Fulk FitzWarin [IV], whose recorded wife was Constance de Tosny, although it is possible that she was born from an otherwise unrecorded earlier marriage to a member of the Clifford family.  A writ dated 24 May "25 Edw I", after the death of "Mabel late the wife of John Tregoz", records in relation to Weston that it was "held in free marriage of the barony of Averenchis…[by] Maud daughter of and heir of William de Averenchis the elder…Hamo le Creveker married her and they gave the manor to William their son and heir in free marriage with the said Mabel.  This William died without heir of his body", names as heirs of "[the said Maud] Juliana daughter of John son of Agnes one of the daughters of the said Hamo and Maud aged 23 and more, John de Lenham son of Iseut the second of the daughters of the said Hamo and Maud aged 60 and more"[213]m secondly as her first husband, JOAN de Cokefield, daughter of ADAM de Cokefield of Feltwell, Norfolk and Moulton, Suffolk & his wife Joan --- (-before 7 Apr 1354).  She married secondly (before 28 Feb 1301) Laurence de Hameldene, and thirdly ([1313/14] or before) William de Beauchamp.  John & his first wife had two children:

VAUTORT

 

 

The family connections between the earliest generations of the Vautort family have not been ascertained.  Reginald [I] may have been the first ancestor in England, while it is a fair assumption that Reginald [II] and Roger [I] were father and son, or maybe brothers. 

 

1.         REGINALD [I] de Vautort (-after 1086).  Domesday Book records that “Reginald” held “Modbury” from Robert Comte de Mortain, along with numerous other holdings in Devonshire[457].  Oliver records that this person was “Reginald de Valletort[458], although his family name is not shown in the Domesday Book translation which has been consulted. 

 

2.         REGINALD [II] de Vautort (-after [15 Apr 1123]).  William Pole (early 1600s?) records that “in Kinge Henry I tyme, Reginald de Valletort” held Hurberton, “whom successively followed, Roger, anno 8 of Kinge Henry I…” (no sources cited)[459].  "…Renaud de Valletorta…" witnessed the charter dated to [1103/04] under which King Henry I confirmed the donation of Winghall Priory to Marmoutier[460].  "…Goislinus de Pomereda, Rainald de Valle Torta…" witnessed the charter dated to [1123, Apr 15?] under which King Henry I confirmed the restoration of various churches to Exeter Cathedral[461].  A much later charter records the foundation of Plympton Priory, quoting the undated charter of King Henry I witnessed by "…Goselinus de Pomereda…Raynaldus de Valletorta…"[462]

 

3.         ROGER [I] de Vautort (-after [1129/30]).  William Pole (early 1600s?) records that “in Kinge Henry I tyme, Reginald de Valletort” held Hurberton, “whom successively followed, Roger, anno 8 of Kinge Henry I…” (no sources cited)[463].  “Roger de Valletort” donated a tithe “and his demesnes in the counties of Devon and Cornwall” to the monks at Modbury, by undated charter (“Fragment of seal (early 12th century) bearing a griffin”)[464].  The 1129/30 Pipe Roll records "Nova placita et Nove Conventiones…in Perdonis per breve Regis. Rogero de Valletorta. xl. s…" in Cornwall[465], which suggests that he had recently succeeded to the family properties (”Nova placita…”). 

 

 

Two brothers, parents not identified, although the chronology suggests that they could have been the sons of Roger [I] who is shown above: 

1.         REGINALD [III] de Vautort (-after [1160/61]).  The Red Book of the Exchequer, in 1160/61, records "Reginaldus de Valle Torta, iim – j militem" in Devonshire[466].  The undated donation of his son Roger [II], cited below, confirms that Reginald had earlier made donations to Modbury.  m ---.  The name of Reginald’s wife is not known.  Reginald [III] & his wife had one child:

a)         ROGER [II] de Vautort (-after [1160/62]).  The 1160/61 Pipe Roll records “Nova Placita et Nove Convent…Roge de Valtort…de ..II. m…” in Devonshire[467].  The Red Book of the Exchequer records inqusitions, dated to 1160/62, in Devon which name “Rogerus de Valle Torta, ijm.  In viij, jm[468].  “Roger de Valletort” donated “the church of St. Stephen of Chircheton, near his castle of Trematon” to the monks at Modbury and “the Abbey of St. Mary at St. Pierre sur Dive”, for the souls of “his father Reginald, and of his own soul and that of his wife Emma”, and also confirming the “grants made to them by his paternal uncle Ralph, and his father Reginald”, by undated charter, witnessed by “Humphrey de Sacville (Unfredo de SiccaVilla), Robert, Dean of St. Just (de Jozte), Hugh, Dean of Maker (de Maceriis), and seven others named”; confirmed by charter dated to [1185/90] by John Bishop of Exeter, which records the donation made by “Roger de Valletort and Ralph his son…by consent of Roger son of the said Ralph”, witnessed by “Robert, Abbot of Ford, and six others named[469]

-        see below

2.         RALPH [I] de Vautort .  He is named as paternal uncle of Roger de Vautort in the latter’s undated donation to Modbury cited above, which also confirms that Ralph had earlier made donations to Modbury. 

 

 

ROGER [II] de Vautort, son of REGINALD [III] de Vautort & his wife --- (-after [1160/62]).  The 1160/61 Pipe Roll records “Nova Placita et Nove Convent…Roge de Valtort…de ..II. m…” in Devonshire[470].  The Red Book of the Exchequer records inqusitions, dated to 1160/62, in Devon which name “Rogerus de Valle Torta, ijm.  In viij, jm[471].  “Roger de Valletort” donated “the church of St. Stephen of Chircheton, near his castle of Trematon” to the monks at Modbury and “the Abbey of St. Mary at St. Pierre sur Dive [in Normandy]”, for the souls of “his father Reginald, and of his own soul and that of his wife Emma”, and also confirming the “grants made to them by his paternal uncle Ralph, and his father Reginald”, by undated charter, witnessed by “Humphrey de Sacville (Unfredo de SiccaVilla), Robert, Dean of St. Just (de Jozte), Hugh, Dean of Maker (de Maceriis), and seven others named”; confirmed by charter dated to [1185/90] by John Bishop of Exeter, which records the donation made by “Roger de Valletort and Ralph his son…by consent of Roger son of the said Ralph”, witnessed by “Robert, Abbot of Ford, and six others named[472]

m EMMA, daughter of ---.  She is named in her husband’s donation to Modbury cited above. 

Roger [II] & his wife had one child: 

1.         RALPH [II] de Vautort ([1130/35?]-[1171]).  His birth date is estimated from the estimated birth dates of his sons shown below.  The 1164/65 Pipe Roll records “Nova Placita et Nove Convent…Rad de Waltorp [corrected to Valtort in footnote]…de ..I. m…” in Devonshire[473], which suggests that he had recently succeeded to the family properties (”Nova placita…”).  Military fee certifications in the Red Book of the Exchequer, in 1166, record "Carta Radulfi de Valtort…quod tenet de Rege in capite…feodum j militis" in Devonshire, and in Cornwall “Carta Comitis Reginaldi…Radulfus de Vaultort tenet feodum de lix militibus tam in Devonia quam in Cornubia[474].  The 1167/68 Pipe Roll records “De Auxil’ Matild’ filie R…Rad de Valtort…de ..I. m. de eod auxil…” in Devonshire[475].  The Red Book of the Exchequer, in 1167/8, records "Radulfus de Valle Torta, j m" in Devonshire, and in 1171/72 “Radulfus de Valle Torta, xxs”[476]m ---.  The name of Ralph’s wife is not known.  William Pole (early 1600s?) records that “Raph de Valletort, 14 of Kinge Henry 2” married “Jone, daughter of Reginald Erle of Cornwall” (no sources cited)[477].  This indication has not been verified and no other reference has been found to Earl Reginald having a daughter named Joanna.  Ralph [II] & his wife had [two or more] children: 

a)         RALPH [III] de Vautort ([1155/59?]-[before [1186/87?]).  The 1171/72 to 1173/74 Pipe Roll entries cited below indicate that Ralph [II] was a minor when his father died, under the guardianship of his paternal uncle Joel [I].  The 1171/72 Pipe Roll records “Nova Plac’ et Nove Conuent…Rad de Valtort…de Scut…Iohel de Waltort…p Custod Nepot suos c terra Rad de Waltort” in Devonshire[478].  The 1172/73 Pipe Roll records “De Scutag’ Milit q nec abier’t in Hyb…Iohel de Valtort…de .x. m. p custod Nepotum suo[rum] c terra Rad de Valtort” in Devonshire (similar entry in the 1173/74 Pipe Roll)[479].  The following entry suggests that Ralph [II] reached the age of majority at that time: the 1176/77 Pipe Roll records “Nova placita et nove conventiones per justicias ad Scaccarium…Et de dimidia marca de misericordia Reginaldi de Valtort” in Devonshire[480].  The 1186/87 Pipe Roll records “Nova Plac’ et nove conuentiones. De oblatis Curie…Idem vicecomes [=vicecomes de Cornualia, unnamed]…de firma de Clist que fuit Reginaldi de Valtort de dimisio anno…” in Devonshire (similar entry in 1189/90 Pipe Roll)[481].  The absence of Ralph [II]’s name in these last entries suggests that he may have been deceased at the time.  This suggestion appears corroborated by Roger [III] being named in the same Pipe Roll (see below). 

b)         [one or more] other son(s) .  His/their existence is confirmed by the 1172/73 Pipe Roll entry cited below under Joel [I] de Vautort (“…Nepotum suo[rum]…”). 

c)         ROGER [III] de Vautort ([1165/68?]-[1211/12]).  The chronology suggests that Roger [III] was one of the unnamed other sons referred to in the 1172/73 Pipe Roll entry cited above.  If that is correct, he was then under the guardianship of his paternal uncle Joel [I] de Vautort.  William Pole (early 1600s?) names “Roger & Joell, of Tawton” as the sons of “Raph de Valletort, 14 of King Henry 2…” (no sources cited)[482].  The following entry suggests that he reached the age of majority at that time: the 1186/87 Pipe Roll records “Nova Placita et nove conuentiones. De oblatis Curie…Rogerus de Valtort…de .c. m. de fine pro honore de Trementon…” in Cornwall[483]

-        see below

2.         JOEL [I] de Vautort ([1135/40?]-after [1194/95]).  William Pole (early 1600s?) names “Roger & Joell, of Tawton” as the sons of “Raph de Valletort, 14 of King Henry 2…” (no sources cited)[484], which in the case of Joel is proved incorrect by the 1171/72 Pipe Roll entry cited below.  Joel [I]’s birth date is estimated on the assumption that he was a few years younger than his brother Ralph [I], but [1135/40?] is only a guess.  The 1171/72 Pipe Roll records “Nova Plac’ et Nove Conuent…Rad de Valtort…de Scut…Iohel de Waltort…p Custod Nepot suos c terra Rad de Waltort” in Devonshire[485].  The 1172/73 Pipe Roll records “De Scutag’ Milit q nec abier’t in Hyb…Iohel de Valtort…de .x. m. p custod Nepotum suo[rum] c terra Rad de Valtort” in Devonshire (similar entry in the 1173/74 Pipe Roll)[486].  The 1186/87 Pipe Roll records “Nova Plac’ et nove conuentiones. De oblatis Curie…Ricardus Boschet…pro recto de .vii. m versus Juhel de Valletorta…” in Devonshire[487].  The 1189/90 Pipe Roll records “De Oblatis Curie…Robertus Foliot…de quarta parte feod .I. mil in But’lea et in Wasford. et in Dunsidioch et in Cadebia versus Johel de Valletorta…” in Devonshire (similar entry in 1194/95 Pipe Roll)[488]m ---.  The name of Joel’s wife is not known.  Joel [I] & his wife had [one child]: 

a)         [REGINALD [IV] de Vautort ([1160?]-[1201/02?]).  The 1195/96 [8 Ric I] Pipe Roll records “De Snc’do Scut’…Rog’s de Valtort…de ij m de scut’…Nova Oblata…Regin’ de Valtort de xxm” in Devon[489].  The 1201/02 [4 John] Pipe Roll records “Nova Oblata…Regin’ de Valtort deb’ xxm” in Devon[490].  These entries follow the last entry for Joel [I], suggesting that Reginald [III] was his successor and maybe his son.  They do not mention his being a minor, which suggests his birth “before 1173?”, maybe several years earlier.]  m ---.  The name of Reginald’s wife is not known.  Reginald [IV] & his wife had [one possible son]: 

i)          [JOEL [II] de Vautort ([1182/89?]-after 1231).  The 1202/03 Pipe Roll entry cited below indicates that Joel was then a minor, presumably under the guardianship of the sheriff of Devon.  The date suggests that he was the successor of Reginald [III], and was maybe his son (also suggested by his name).  From a chronological point of view, it seems unlikely that Reginald [IV] and Joel [II] were brothers.  As his minority is not mentioned in the 1212 document cited below, his birth is estimated to “[1182/89?]”.  The 1202/03 [5 John] Pipe Roll records “De Oblatis…Et iiij li xii s x d p’ man’ eid’ Vic [the Sheriff] pro Joel’ de Valtort…De Amm’ciam’tis…Vic’ redd’ comp’…de i m’ de Joel’ de Valtort…” in Devon[491].]

ROGER [III] de Vautort, son of RALPH [II] de Vautort & his wife --- (-[1211/12]).  The chronology suggests that Roger [III] was one of the unnamed other sons of Ralph [I] referred to in the 1172/73 Pipe Roll entry cited above.  If that is correct, he was then under the guardianship of his paternal uncle Joel [I] de Vautort.  The following entry suggests that he had reached the age of majority at the time: the 1186/87 Pipe Roll records “Nova Placita et nove conuentiones. De oblatis Curie…Rogerus de Valtort…de .c. m. de fine pro honore de Trementon…” in Cornwall[492].  The 1189/90 Pipe Roll records “De oblatis Curie…Rogerus de Valtort…de fine de honore de Tremton…” in Cornwall[493].  The Red Book of the Exchequer, in 1194/95, records Scutage “Anno VI Regis Ricardi”, in Devonshire "Isti habuerunt quietantiam per brevia – Olyver de Tracy, Johannes de Torintone, Henricus de Novant, Willelmus filius Martini, Rogerus de Valle Torta" (similar entry in the 1194/95 Pipe Roll in Devonshire[494]), and in Cornwall “In perdonis per breve Regis Reginaldo [mistake for Rogero? see the 1194/95 Pipe Roll entry below] de Valle torta…de lix militibus [ad feoda Moretonić[495].  The following document confrirms that Roger [III] was overseas with the king’s army: the 1194/95 Pipe Roll records “De placitis curie…Rogero de Valtort de (fine) honore de Trem’ton…” and “De scutagio Cornubie ad redemptionem domini Regis…Et in perdonis per breve R. Rogero de Valtort…de scutagio lix militum predicti feodi quia fuit cum R. in exercitu Norm’…”, both in Cornwall[496].  The 1195/96 [8 Ric I] Pipe Roll records “De Snc’do Scut’…Rog’s de Valtort…de ij m de scut’…Nova Oblata…Regin’ de Valtort de xxm” in Devon[497].  The Red Book of the Exchequer, in 1196/97, records “Honor Comitis Reginaldi in Cornubia et Devonia…ad feodum Moretonić…et Rogero de Valle Torta, lix milites de prćdictis feodis…[498].  The 1200/01 [3 John] Pipe Roll records “De Finibus & Scut’ Milit’…Rog’s de Valtort ij m de scut’…” in Devon (similar entries 1201/02 [4 John])[499].  An undated manuscript in the Red Book of the Exchequer records in Cornwall “R[egis] J[ohannis];…Rogero de Valtor[t], xiiij l in Calmitone, ut ibidem [”ut xiij R. J.” = 12 May 1211/2 May 1212]”[500].  Roger died before the 1212 record cited below which records “custodiam…herede Rogeri de Valle Torta”. 

m ([1190/94?]) ALICE, daughter of --- (-after [1213/14]).  Alice’s family origin is not known.  Her marriage date is suggested based on the likely birth date of her daughter Joanna shown below.  The 1208/09 [11 John] Pipe Roll records “…Alesia de valle Torta deb’ ccc m. pro Henr’ de la Pom’aie sic’ supa cotineta” in Devon[501], the payment being part of the fine made by “Henr de La Pomay [Henry [IV] de la Pomerai]…p habenda terras q fuit Henr patris sui, cujus heres ipse” in 1207[502]Powley comments that the payment made by Alice was “clearly a consideration in a marriage settlement” [see below for Alice’s daughter Joanna marrying Henry [IV] de la Pomerai][503]The 1213/14 [18 John] Pipe Roll records “Nova Oblata. Alesia de Valletorta deb’. i m. pro iniusta detenco’e…” in Devon[504].  The circumstances of the “unjust detention” have not been elucidated, but the date suggests that Alice was the widow of Roger [III] who died a couple of years earlier.  Maybe the delay before the 1213/14 entry was due to a dispute about her dower. 

Roger [III] & his wife had [six] children: 

1.         JOANNA de Vautort ([1193/95 or before?]-).  Her parentage and marriage are confirmed by an agreement dated 29 Sep 1268 under which “Henry de la Pomeray [Henry [VI] de la Pomerai, Joanna’s grandson] son of Henry de la Pomeray and Margery de Vernun” confirmed privileges to “the burgesses of Brigg…according to the tenor of the charter of my father, the son of Joan de Valletorta[505]The date of her marriage is suggested by the [1208/09] payment made by her mother towards the fine made by Henry [IV] de la Pomerai for custody of his father’s lands (see above), which in turn suggests Joanna’s birth not later than [1193/95].  That date suggests that Joanna was her parents’ oldest surviving child.  Her parentage and marriage are also indicated by inquisitions after a writ dated 24 Oct 1299 [“27 Edw I”] following the death of "Hawis late the wife of Reginald de Valle Torta [Reginald [V] de Vautort, see below]" which name “Peter Corbet aged 30 and more, and Henry de la Pomerey [Henry [VII] de Pomerai, great-grandson of Joanna] aged 32, are next heirs of the inheritance of the said Reginald[506].  No other document has been found which names Joanna or indicates her date of death.  m ([1208/09]) HENRY [IV] de la Pomerai, son of HENRY [III] de la Pomerai & his wife Alice de Vernon (-[Apr/3 Nov] 1221). 

2.         REGINALD [V] de Vautort ([1198/1200?]-[early Jan 1246]).  His birth date is estimated on the assumption that he reached the age of majority shortly before the 3 Nov 1221 charter cited below.  The Red Book of the Exchequer records inqusitions, dated to 1210/12, in Cornwall which name “Reginaldus de Valletorta, lix milites de honore de Tremtone[507].  The bishop of Winchester was his guardian during his minority: the 1212/13 [15 John] Pipe Roll records “Nova Oblata…P.

see below] is in the king’s hands because of the debts of "Henrici de Nunant” who owed “Judeis", noting that “quod manerium Robertus de Ver tenet de dote cum Isabella uxore sua que fuit uxor predicti Henrici” and Henry I had granted the manor to “Rogero de Nunant antecessori suo[510].]  The 1213/14 [18 John] Pipe Roll records “Isti habent Quiet p’ brevia [Rog’s cancelled] Regin’ de Valtort…de med’ honoris de Toteneis…” in Devon[511].  An order dated 21 Nov 1215 granted custody of “castrum de Toton [Totnes]” to “Reginaldo de Vall Torta[512].  A document dated 3 Nov 1221 records an agreement between “Reginald de Valle Torta” and the bishop of Salisbury concerning “the advowson of Herbertone[513].  Reginald was recorded as Sheriff of Cornwall between “5 Hen III” (28 Oct 1220/27 Oct 1221) and “9 Hen III” (28 Oct 1224/27 Oct 1225), with “Walterus de Truwerden pro eo” (presumably acting as his local deputy)[514].  An order dated 3 Nov 1221 granted “custodiam terre et heredis [Henry [V] de la Pomerai, son of Reginald de Vautort’s sister Joanna, see above] Henr de la Pomaye” to “Rado de Trublevill”, while an order dated 26 Apr 1222 instructed “Reginaldo de Valle torta” to release “filium et heredem Henr de la Pomeraie” to “Rad de Trublevill cui dns Rex custodiam terre et heredis ipsius Henri concessit[515].  An order dated 30 Jan 1227 [11 Hen III] records “Regin’ de Valle Torta” making a fine, as “Rogerus de Valle Torta pater suus” had done, for land granted by “Henr de Novant”, under an agreement between him and “Willm de Braos”, to “predicto Rogero[516].  The Testa de Nevill records, dated to [1228/29], that in Cornwall "Reginaldus de Valle Torta" held "in Tremeton’…lix feoda…"[517].  A document dated 18 Apr 1233 records the settlement of a dispute between “Walter de Dunstanvill, plaintiff” and “Reginald de Valle torta & Joan his wife, by Henry de Valle torta in Joan’s place, Richard Suward & Philippa his wife, by Henry de Blerec in their places, John Biset & Alice his wife […whom Gilbert Basset…Thomas de Mascey vouched to warranty], tenans, by Geoffrey de Dullingham in Alice’s place” concerning “2 ploughlands in Culinton[518].  The Testa de Nevill records, dated to [1235/36], payments "de xxviii feodis Reginaldi de Valle Torta de baronia sua…", as well as other payments which he made, and a sum owing “de j. feodo Joh’ Biset et Reginaldi de Valle Tort[519].  An undated charter records the donations made by “Rogerus de Valle Torta filius domini Rogeri de Valle Torta, et frater dominorum Reginaldi et Radulfi de Valle Torta” to the church of Gargaul in Cornwall, witnessed by “…Alexandro de Okeston…[520].  An order dated 30 Apr 1245 [29 Hen III] records “Regiń de Valle Torta” making a fine for “maneriis de Cliftoń Clautoń et Brikesham [Brixham, Devon]” which “Isabella de Bolebek quondam comitissa Oxon tenuit in dote de dono Henri de Nuvaunt quondam viri sui[521].  Inquisitions after a writ to the sheriff of Devon dated 19 Jan 1246 ["30 Hen III"], following the death of "Reginald de Valle Torta", name “Ralph de Valle Torta, his brother, is his heir” and record “Hurberton, Holne, Clauton, Brixham and Brideford manors, held of the honour of Totnes…Silfreton manor…” in Devon[522]m ([19 May 1220/1223]) as her first husband, JOANNA Basset, daughter of THOMAS Basset [II] of Headington, Oxfordshire & his wife Philippa --- (-after 13 Jun 1249).  "Henry earl of Warwick…and Philippa his wife, and Reginald de Vautorte…and Joan his wife, and Alice sister of Philippa and Joan" performed homage for the lands formerly of "Thomas Basset, whose heirs are Philippa, Joan and Alice", dated 19 May 1220[523].  Bracton records a claim, dated 1223, by "Walterus de Dunstanvilla" against "Johannem Byset et Aliciam Malet uxorem eius" concerning "terre…in Culintona", the defendants claiming that "ipse Alicia" held the land "in proparte sororum unde Johanna uxor Reginaldi de Vautort et Philippa uxor Henrici comitis Warrewici"[524]Bracton records a claim in Devon, dated Hilary 1223, by "Engelardus de Pratellis et Sibilla uxor" against "Reginaldum de Vautort et Johannam uxorem eius" for "terciam partem unius caruc. terre in Culintona ut dotem eiusdem Sibille", inherited by "Ricardo ut filio suo primogenito et heredi" (referring back to the previous claim by "Walterus de Dunstanville")[525].  “Joh’a que fuit uxor Reg’ de Valle Torta” made a fine [14//20] Oct 1247 [31 Hen III] for licence to marry whom she will (“maritate cui voluit”)[526]Joanna married secondly ([Oct 1247/5 Jun 1249]) William de Courtenay: Powley indicates this second marriage in a genealogical table (no sources cited)[527]This indication is presumably based on William Pole (early 1600s?) who records that “Joane, first married unto Reginald de Valletort, & 2, unto Sr William de Courtenay, Kt, brother of John Lo. Courtenay”, noting that she gave her part of “Coliton” (inherited from the Basset family) to “Willm Courtenay her husband, & died without issue, for as that moyetye descended in the family of ye Courtenays, Erles of Devon” (no sources cited)[528]Her second marriage is also indicated by a document dated 5 Jun 1249 which records the settlement of a dispute between “Thomas Corbeth, claimant” and “Ralph de Valle Torta, deforciant” concerning “the manor of Syluerton, which manor William de Curtenay & Joan his wife held as the dower of Joan [suggesting that Joan was a widow when she married William, her first husband’s brother being responsible for settling her dower after he died] of the inheritance of the aforesaid Ralph on the day this agreement was made”, with the manor “[which] after Joan’s death ought to revert to Ralph & his heirs for ever, shall then remain to Thomas & his heirs quit of Ralph & his heirs for ever[529].  A document dated 13 Jun 1249 records the settlement of a dispute between “Walter de Bathonia, claimant” and “Ralph de Valletorta, deforciant” concerning “ploughland…in Clauton, which…Joan de Valletorta, wife of William de Curtenay, aforetime held in dower of the inheritance of the said Ralph [which] she let the same to Walter during the term of her life before the said William de Curtenay took her to wife…”, “being present the said William & Joan & consenting thereto[530]

but Joan his wife, who still survives, is dowered of a third part of the manor of Brixham"[553].  An agreement between “James de Oxton, lord of Modbury” and “Robert Truwerd, Prior of that place” is dated “30 Edw I” [20 Nov 1300/19 Nov 1301][554].  Powley indicates in a genealogical table that Joanna married thirdly “? Andrew de Trelluk”, noting that this was “Malet’s conjecture” (citing, footnote 2, “Data privately supplied in MS. by Major G. E. Malet”)[555].  The Champernon/Chambernon family were the main subject of a lengthy thread of postings to the “Soc.gen.medieval” group in Oct 2018[556].  Ralph [IV] & his second wife had one child: 

a)         REGINALD [VI] de Vautort ([1258/59]-[early Jan 1270]).  Inquisitions after a writ dated 16 Jan 1270 ["54 Hen III"], following the death of "Reginald de Vautort alias de Valetort", name “Roger de Vautort, his uncle, is his heir and of full age” and record in Devon “Brikesham manor…held of the king in chief by barony; whereof Lady Joan de Vautort, mother of the said Reginald, is dowered of a third part…Clautune manor…Brideford manor…whereof Sir Alexander de Okestune holds 5 marks rent for life of the gift of Sir Ralph de Vautort, and the said Lady Joan is dowered of a third part…Hurbertun manor…whereof the said Lady Joan is dowered of a third part, and Eustace de Burlestone jolds 16s rent for life of the gift of Sir Ralph de Vautort[557]m HAWISE, daughter of --- (-before 24 Oct 1299).  Inquisitions after a writ of certiorari dated 26 Jan 1276 ["4 Edw I"] relating to "the barony of Valletorta…", record in Devon “Hurberton…16s land held by Hawis late the wife of Reginald de Valletorta the younger in dower…33 ˝ knights fees pertain to the said barony…whereof…the aforesaid Hawis of 6 ˝ fees through the death of the aforesaid Reginald…Brideford…held by the aforesaid Hawis in dower…[558].  Powley indicates in a genealogical table (no sources cited) that Hawise married secondly “Luke de Poynings[559]: he is not named in the inquisitions after a writ dated 24 Oct 1299 [“27 Edw I”] following the death of "Hawis late the wife of Reginald de Valle Torta" which name “Peter Corbet aged 30 and more, and Henry de la Pomerey aged 32, are next heirs of the inheritance of the said Reginald”, noting that Hawise and Reginald had married “with the king’s assent” while Reginald was still a minor “in the king’s wardship[560]

6.         ROGER [IV] de Vautort ([1204/11?]-before 26 Jan 1277).  William Pole records that “Sr Roger de Valletort” granted “Bridforde […Woonford Hundred]” to “Sr Alexander de Okeston & Jone his wief, which was the widowe of Raph de Valletort his elder brother…” and, in another passage, that he conveyed “Modbiry […Ermington Hundred]” to the same couple (no source citations)[561].  “Rogerus de Valle Torta, filius Domini Rogeri de Valle Torta, et frater Dominorum Reginaldi et Radulfi de Valle Torta” donated “Manerio de Gargaule cum Advocacionibus ecclesiarum Sancte Niwyline et Sancti Aluni” to the church of Bodmin by charter dated 29 Dec 1269[562].  Inquisitions after a writ dated 16 Jan 1270 ["54 Hen III"], following the death of "Reginald de Vautort alias de Valetort", name “Roger de Vautort, his uncle, is his heir and of full age[563].  Hargrave records that “Rogerus de Valle-torta” granted “castrum de Trematon et 59 feoda militum in Cornwall et Devon” to Richard Earl of Cornwall [ex-King of Germany], undated but dated to [16 Jan 1270/2 Apr 1272][564]: this grant is confirmed by inquisitions following the 1300 death of Edmund Earl of Cornwall (Richard’s son) which record in Cornwall "Callistoke…all held as of fee tail; for one Roger de Valle Torta, sometime lord of the said castle…gave the same to Richard sometime king of Almain…"[565].  Roger [IV] is named as deceased in the inquisitions after the 26 Jan 1277 writ of certiorari cited above in full under Joan, second wife of his brother Ralph [IV] de Vautort.  

 

 

The family connection, if any, between the following family group and the Vautort family shown above has not been ascertained. 

 

1.         RICHARD [I] de Vautort .  He is named as grandfather of Simon de Vautort in the [1199/1200] inquisition cited below.  m ---.  The name of Richard’s wife is not known.  Richard [I] & his wife had two children: 

a)         HUGH de Vautort .  He is named as father of Simon de Vautort in the [1199/1200] inquisition cited below.  [same person as…?  HUGH de Vautort (-after [1171/72]).  The Red Book of the Exchequer, in 1166, records “Carta Roberti de Bello Campo” confirming to the king that “de feodo quod de vobis teneo in capite tenet de me Hugo de Valle Torto feoda vii militum” in Somerset[566].  The 1169/70, 1170/71, 1171/72 Pipe Rolls record “De Plac’ Regin’ de Warenn’ et Iohis Cumin In Sumerseta…Hug de Valletorta…de .II. m…” owing in Somerset, and (1170/71 only) “De Plac’ Regin’ de Warenn’ et Ioh’s Cumin et Geru’ de Cornhell…Hug de Valtort” as well as “Ric fil Willi” by agreement about Wasfeld with Hugh de Vautort (“de .x. m. p Concord de terra de Wasfeld . uxus Hug de Valtord”) in Devonshire[567].]  m ---.  The name of Hugh’s wife is not known.  Hugh & his wife had two children: 

i)          SIMON de Vautort (-before [1199/1200]).  "Simon de Valtort…with his brother Nicholas" donated land "in Babbekari" to Montacute priory, for the welfare of "his wife and of his lord Robert de Bello Campo", by undated charter[568]Domesday Descendants records that the daughter and heiress of Robert de Beauchamp of Hatch married "Simon de Vautort (d. 1199)" and that "her son assumed her name and succeeded as Robert [IV] de Beauchamp (d. 1251)" (no corresponding primary source cited)[569].  The information is confirmed by Bracton’s record of the 1230 claim brought by Simon’s cousin John de Vautort, cited below.  His date of death is indicated by the inquisition held [1199/1200] to determine “jus heredes Sim de Vautort…in Septon…quam Joh de Vautort tenet”, finding that “Ric de Vautort qui terram illam tenuit habuit ii. fil. s. Hug et Johm. et Hug fuit primogenitus.  Ille Hug habuit quidam filium Sim cuius filii debent esse heredes de terra de Septon[570]

-        BEAUCHAMP of HATCH BEAUCHAMP, SOMERSET

ii)         NICHOLAS de Vautort"Simon de Valtort…with his brother Nicholas" donated land "in Babbekari" to Montacute priory, for the welfare of "his wife and of his lord Robert de Bello Campo", by undated charter[571]

b)         JOHN de Vautort (-after [1199/1200]).  He is named in the [1199/1200] order cited above as the current holder of Shepperton, Middlesex.  He is named in the 1230 source cited under his son, which confirms that King John had granted him Shepperton (apparently ignoring the [1199/1200] inquisition).  m ---.  The name of John’s wife is not known.  John & his wife had two children: 

i)          RICHARD [III] de Vautort .  He is named in the 1230 source cited below under his brother John, which confirms that Richard survived their father but died childless.  No source has been found which names Richard in his own right. 

ii)         JOHN de Vautort (-after 1230).  Bracton records a claim in Middlesex, dated 1230, by "Johannes de Valle Torta" against "Robertum de Bello Campo [son of John’s first cousin Simon, see above]" concerning "terre…in Shepertona…unde Johannes de Walletorta pater suus fuit seisitus…tempore J. Regis", inherited by "Ricardo ut filio suo primogenito et heredi" who died "sine herede de corpore suo" and passed to “huic Johanni ut fratri et heredi suo[572]

 

 

His name suggests that Richard [II] de Vautort was closely related to the preceding family.  Maybe he was another son of Richard [I]. 

1.         RICHARD [II] de Vautort (-after [1184/85]).  The 1184/85 Pipe Roll records “De placitis eorundem [=Rannulfi de Glauill et Rogeri filii Reinfridi et Willelmi Basset] in villa de Norhanton’…Ricardus de Valletorta…” in Northamptonshire[573]

 

 

1.         OSMUND de Vautort (-after 15 Mar 1203).  An order dated 15 Mar 1203 [4 John] confirmed that “Osmundus de Valletorta” had sworn homage to the king[574]

 

 

JOEL [II] de Vautort, son of [REGINALD [IV] de Vautort & his wife ---] ([1182/89?]-after 1231).  The 1202/03 Pipe Roll entry cited below indicates that Joel was then a minor, presumably under the guardianship of the sheriff of Devon.  The date suggests that he was the successor of Reginald [III], and was maybe his son (also suggested by his name).  From a chronological point of view, it seems unlikely that Reginald [IV] and Joel [II] were brothers.  As his minority is not mentioned in the 1212 document cited below, his birth is estimated to “[1182/89?]”.  The 1202/03 [5 John] Pipe Roll records “De Oblatis…Et iiij li xii s x d p’ man’ eid’ Vic [the Sheriff] pro Joel’ de Valtort…De Amm’ciam’tis…Vic’ redd’ comp’…de i m’ de Joel’ de Valtort…” in Devon[575].  Inquisitions in Devon dated to 1212 record that the bishop of Winchester had “in custodiam per dominum regem cum heredibus Rogeri de Valle Torta S[utton] et Tamerton et Markerton per servicium j militis” which King Henry II had given to “antecessoribus Rogeri de Valletorta qui inde habuit servicium predictum, scilicet de Rogeri de --- Torta qui tenent duas predictarum terrarum et Johelus de Valle Torta et Radulfus filius Ricardi tenent terciam illarum terrarum per predictum servicium[576].  The 1213/14 [18 John] Pipe Roll records “Nova Oblata…Vic’ dist’ingat Joelem de Valletorta & Hug’ de Hambire & p’tes alios qa continenta in bri…” in Devon[577].  A document dated 14 Jul 1226 records the settlement of a dispute between “Edmund de Thudeham plaintiff” and “Joel de Valle Torta, deforciant” concerning “the manor of Staunton (Churchstaunton)[578].  A document dated 21 Jun 1228 records the settlement of a dispute between “Joel de Valle Torta, plaintiff” and “Richard de Hidone, tenant” concerning “ploughland in Hemihoc[579].  A document dated 30 May 1244 records the settlement of a dispute between “Joel de Valle Torta, plaintiff” and “Robert Foliot, whom Warin son of Joel vouched to warranty” concerning “the manor of Dunsidiok[580].  Bracton records a claim in Middlesex, dated Easter 1231, by "Robertus Foliot et Ricardus de Hiduna" against "Johelum de Valle Torta et Galfridum de Barringtona…[and later] Eadmundum de Tudenham" concerning "terre de Stauntona", with another hearing dated Trinity 1231[581]

m [EMMA de Botreaux, daughter of [WILLIAM [II] de Botreaux & his [first/second/third wife Isabel de Say/---/Albreda Waleran] ([1175/80] or [1200/07?]-).  William Pole (early 1600s?) records that “Joell de Valletort, younger sonne of Roger, & brother of Reginald de Valletort, held North Tawton, & had issue by Emma, daughter of Sr William Botreaux…[582].  The reference to Joel’s father suggests that Pole was referring to Joel [I], which from a chronological point of view appears impossible.  Assuming that there is some truth in Pole’s report (its accuracy has not been confirmed by information from another source), it is likely that Emma was the wife of Joel [II] de Vautort, and therefore the daughter of William [II] de Botreaux.] 

Joel [II] & his wife had one child (the information on Joel’s descendants is based mainly on William Pole’s narrative, which has not been verified unless otherwise shown below): 

1.         PHILIP de Vautort (-after 1253).  William Pole (early 1600s?) records that “Joell de Valletort…had issue by Emma, daughter of Sr William Botreaux, Sr. Philip, 1253” who “had issue Sr John, which had issue Hugh de Valletort, by Lucia, daughter of Adam le Bret, had issue Egelina, wief of Oliver Champernon, Lucia, wief of Geffrey Lyff, Katerine, wief, 1, of William Lucy, &, 2, of Sr Henry, Frances, Beatrix, wief of Simon Bradeney, Elisabeth, wief of Sr Richard Champernon, of Modbiry, & Jone.  Only Egelina, Lucia, & Elisabeth, had issue…” (naming their descendants) (no sources cited)[583]m ---.  The name of Philip’s wife is not known.  Philip & his wife had one child:

The connections between the earlier Vautort line shown above and the following members of the Vautort family (who are recorded in Devon from the mid-13th century) have not been established.  Only limited research has been carried out on these later members of the family, who fall outside the scope of the Medieval Lands project.  The information is shown below to provide a starting point for other researchers. 

 

1.         ANDREW de Vautort .  An order dated [26/28] Jul 1260 [44 Hen III] records the homage of “Andree de Valle Torta” who married “Margar’ primogenita fil et unam heredum Jacobi de Estwode” for “sexta parti feodi uni militis…quod idem Jacobus de Rege tenuit in Esrwude…die quo obiit[604]m (before [26/28] Jul 1260) MARGARET de Estwood, daughter of JAMES de Estwood & his wife ---.  She is named in the document cited above, which suggests that the couple married shortly before the date in question.  Inquisitions after a writ dated 20 Apr 1311 [“4 Edw II”] following the death of "Margaret late the wife of Andrew de Valle Torta alias de Vautort" name “John her son, aged 40, is her next heir”, and record in Essex “Estwode…held of the king in chief, as of the barony of Reygley, by service of 1/6 knight’s fee[605].  Andrew & his wife had one child: 

a)         JOHN de Vautort ([1270?]-after 20 Apr 1311).  Inquisitions after a writ dated 20 Apr 1311 [“4 Edw II”] following the death of "Margaret late the wife of Andrew de Valle Torta alias de Vautort" name “John her son, aged 40, is her next heir[606]

 

 

1.         ROBERT de Vautortm MARGARET, daughter of --- (-before 8 Aug 1311).  Inquisitions after a writ dated 8 Aug 1311 [“4 Edw II”] following the death of "Margaret late the wife of Robert de Vautort" name “Thomas her son, aged 24 and more, is her next heir”, and record in Hertford “Sabrichesworth…[607].  Robert & his wife had one child: 

a)         THOMAS de Vautort ([1286/87?]-after 1311).  Inquisitions after a writ dated 8 Aug 1311 [“4 Edw II”] following the death of "Margaret late the wife of Robert de Vautort" name “Thomas her son, aged 24 and more, is her next heir[608]

 

 

Members of the Vautort family held Clyst Gerard (now Clyst Gerred) and Clyst St, Lawrence until the reign of King Henry VIII.  An outline descent is set out by William Pole (early 1600s?) who records that “In Kinge Henry 2 tyme Robert de Valletorta had his dwelling” in Clist St Lawrence “whom successively have followed Raph, Raph, John, Raph, Sr John de Valletort, Kt; in Kinge Edw. I tyme Raph his sonne; and after, six of the name John…” (no sources cited)[609].  Although none of this information has been verified, the earliest supposed generations are shown below in case other information emerges which corroborates Pole’s narrative. 

 

1.         [ROBERT de Vautort of Clyst St. Lawrence .  As noted above, Pole records that “In Kinge Henry 2 tyme Robert de Valletorta had his dwelling” in Clist St Lawrence.  No other reference has been found to this supposed Robert de Vautort, neither has any indication been found of his descent from the main Vautort family.  m ---.  The name of Robert’s wife is not known.  Robert & his wife had one child:] 

a)         [RALPH [I] de Vautortm ---.  The name of Ralph’s wife is not known.  Ralph [I] & his wife had one child:] 

i)          [RALPH [II] de Vautortm ---.  The name of Ralph’s wife is not known.  Ralph [I] & his wife had one child:] 

(1)       [JOHN [I] de Vautort .  If John’s great-grandfather lived during the reign of Henry II, John probably lived in the mid- to late-13th century, in which case he may be the same person as John [II] de Vautort who is shown below.] 

 

 

Some late-13th/early 14th century primary sources record the Clyst Gerard/Clyst St Lawrence family, from which the following tentative reconstruction has been made. 

 

Two possible brothers:

1.         JOHN [II] de Vautort of Clyst Gerard (-before [1284/86?]).  He is named as father of John [II] in the [1284-86] document cited below.  m [EMMA, daughter of ---.  A document dated to [1284-86] records in “Hundredum de Clyston” Devon “Henricus de Frauncheine, Emma de Valle Torta, Johannes filius Johannis de Valle Torta de Clist [et] Johannes filius Ranulphi de Valle Torta” holding “Clist Giraud pro un. f. m. de Simone de Monte Acuto…[610].  Emma’s prominent position in the list suggests that she was senior in age: maybe she was the widow of the deceased older John holding part of the manor as dower.  The relationship between the Vautort family and “Henricus de Frauncheine…” has not been ascertained.]  John & his wife had one child: 

a)         JOHN [III] de Vautort .  A document dated to [1284-86] records in “Hundredum de Clyston” Devon “Henricus de Frauncheine, Emma de Valle Torta, Johannes filius Johannis de Valle Torta de Clist [et] Johannes filius Ranulphi de Valle Torta” holding “Clist Giraud pro un. f. m. de Simone de Monte Acuto…[611]

2.         [RALPH [III] de Vautort (-before [1284/86?]).  He is named as father of John [III] in the [1284-86] document cited below.  Maybe he was the brother of John [II].  m ---.  The name of Ralph’s wife is not known.  Ralph & his wife had one child: 

a)         JOHN [IV] de Vautort of Clyst Gerard .  A document dated to [1284-86] records in “Hundredum de Clyston” Devon “Henricus de Frauncheine, Emma de Valle Torta, Johannes filius Johannis de Valle Torta de Clist [et] Johannes filius Ranulphi de Valle Torta” holding “Clist Giraud pro un. f. m. de Simone de Monte Acuto…[612]

 

 

Further progress on the reconstruction is hampered because, based on the limited sources so far found, it is impossible to determine whether John [V], shown below, was the same person as John [III] or John [IV] who are shown above. 

 

1.         JOHN [V] de Vautort of Clyst Gerard (-after [1315]).  A document dated 1303 records in “[Hundredum de] Clyston” Devon “Johannes de Valletorta tenet in Clyst Sancti Laurencii quartam partem f. Et per rotulos de scaccario j. f. Johannes de Valletorta et Margeria de Poltimor tenent in Clystgirard quartam partem f.  Alicia de Froncheynny et Johannes de Vautort, junior, tenent in Boterlegh quartam partem f.[613].  William Pole (early 1600s?) records that “anno 8 of Kinge Edw. 2, John Vautort, of Clist Girard, Margery Poltimore, Claricia de Francheyney, Jone Filmere, & John Vawtort”, and “in the 19 of Kinge Edw. 3. John Vawtort, Marg’et Chiselden, Simon Francheyney, & John Vautort” (no sources cited)[614]m MARGERY de Poltimor, daughter of --- (-after 1303).  She is named as John’s wife in the 1303 document cited above. 

 

 

The problems are further compounded by the division of fiefs between junior members of the family, who are identified in primary sources as holding Botterly, Clyst St. Lawrence, and Sutton. 

 

1.         JOHN [VI] de Vautort “junior” of Botterly .  A document dated 1303 records in “[Hundredum de] Clyston” Devon “Johannes de Valletorta tenet in Clyst Sancti Laurencii quartam partem f. Et per rotulos de scaccario j. f. Johannes de Valletorta et Margeria de Poltimor tenent in Clystgirard quartam partem f.  Alicia de Froncheynny et Johannes de Vautort, junior, tenent in Boterlegh quartam partem f.[615]

 

 

1.         JOHN [VII] de Vautort of Clyst St. Lawrence (-before 3 Aug 1318).  A document dated 1303 records in “[Hundredum de] Clyston” Devon “Johannes de Valletorta tenet in Clyst Sancti Laurencii quartam partem f. Et per rotulos de scaccario j. f. Johannes de Valletorta et Margeria de Poltimor tenent in Clystgirard quartam partem f.  Alicia de Froncheynny et Johannes de Vautort, junior, tenent in Boterlegh quartam partem f.[616].  A document dated 1316 records in “Hundredum de Clyston” Devon “Villa de Clyst Sancti Laurencii, Clyst Gerard et Aysshclyst, que sunt membra ad eandem, et est dominus ejusdem Johannes Vautort[617].  Inquisitions after a writ dated 3 Aug 1318 [“12 Edw II”] following the death of "John de Valle Torta of Clist Lauraunz" name “Randolph his son, aged 40, is his next heir”, and record in Devon “Macre by Sutton…held of the king in chief as of the honour of Tremeton…Clist Lauraunz…[618]m ---.  The name of John’s wife is not known.  John [VII] & his wife had one child: 

a)         RALPH [IV] de Vautort ([1277/78?]-).  Inquisitions after a writ dated 3 Aug 1318 [“12 Edw II”] following the death of "John de Valle Torta of Clist Lauraunz" name “Randolph his son, aged 40, is his next heir[619]

 

 

1.         JOHN [VIII] de Vautort of Sutton (-after 1318).  Inquisitions following the 1300 death of Edmund Earl of Cornwall (Richard’s son) record in Cornwall and Devon "59 fees pertaining to the castle of Trematon…Makere, Sutton [and King’s Tamerton]. 1 fee held by John de Vautort of Sutton…"[620].  A document dated 1303 records in “Hundredum de Rogheberg” Devon “Johannes de Valletorta tenet in Sutton, Matre et Kyngystamerton j. f. de Mortonia[621].  A document dated 1316 records in “Hundredum de Rouburgh” Devon “Villa de Sutton Rauf. Dominus ejusdem Johannes de Valletorta[622]

 

 

1.         JOHN [IX] de Vautort of Clyst St. Lawrence .  Knight.  m AMY de Clifford, daughter of REGINALD de Clifford & his wife ---.  William Pole (early 1600s?) records that “Reginald de Clifford, Kt” gave “Evelegh (aunciently Yevelegh) […Cliston Hundred]…in mariage with Amy to his daughter unto Sr John de Valletort, of Clist St Lawrenc” who “with ye consent of the sayd Amy, granted unto William le Speke, sonne of Sr William le Speke…in frank mariage with Gilian his daughter” (no sources cited)[623].  The chronology of this report has not been checked.  The identitication of Amy’s husband is therefore uncertain.  John [IX] & his wife had one child: 

a)         JULIANA de Vautort .  William Pole (early 1600s?) records that “Branford Speake […Woonford Hundred]” was held by “Sr William le Espek, Kt, which maried Alice, da. & heire of Sr Walter Gervais, of Exon, & had issue William” who married “Julian, daughter of Sr John de Valletort, of Clist St Lawrence, Kt.” (and records that couple’s descendants) (no sources cited)[624]m WILLIAM Speake, son of Sir WILLIAM Speak & his wife Alice Gervais. 

 

 

William Pole traces the last generations of this family as follows: he records that “…The last John Vawtort died anno 26 of Kinge Henry 8, & left his heire Elisabeth, wief of Sr Hugh Pollard, Kt, the daughter of John Vawtorte, which died in his father’s lief tyme” (and records that couple’s descendants) (no sources cited)[625].  He records the Pollard ancestry in another passage (no sources cited)[626], and relates further information concerning the last male descendants of the family in yet another passage where he notes that “William de Grilleston held in King John’s tyme [Grilleston] […Hundred of Witheridge]”, that “Simon de Grilleston, 27 of Kinge Henry 3; William, 24 of King Ed. I, 8 of Kinge Edw. 2, & 19 of Kinge Edw. 3; John de Grilleston, 44 of Kinge Edw. 3; William, 13 of King Rich. 2; & Robert de Grilleston, whose daughter Elisab. was maried unto John Vautort, of Clist St Lawrence, which had issue John, whose sonne John died before his father, & left issue Elisabeth, wief of Sr Hugh Pollard…” (naming their descendant) (no sources cited)[627].  No attempt has been made to verify this information.
