On 22 July 1403, the day after the Battle of Shrewsbury, he was made a Knight of the Garter. In the summer of 1404, he rode into what is today Monmouthshire at the head of a force. Warwick engaged Welsh forces at the Battle of Mynydd Cwmdu, near Tretower Castle a few miles northwest of Crickhowell – nearly capturing Owain Glyndwr himself, taking Owain's banner, forcing the Welsh to flee. They were chased down the valley of the River Usk where they regrouped and turned the tables on the pursuing English force, attempting an ambush. They chased the English in turn to the town walls of Monmouth after a skirmish at Craig-y-Dorth, a conical hill near Mitchel Troy.[4] Chivalry and Pilgrimage[edit] Seal of Richard Beauchamp, Earl of Warwick Warwick acquired quite a reputation for chivalry, and when in 1408 he went on pilgrimage to the Holy Land, he was challenged many times to fight in the sporting combat which was then popular. On the return trip he went through Russia and Eastern Europe, not returning to England until 1410. Soldier of the King[edit] In 1410, he was appointed a member of the royal council and in 1413 was Lord High Steward at the Prince's coronation as Henry V of England. The next year he helped put down the Lollard uprising, and then went to Normandy as Captain of Calais and represented England at the Council of Constance.[5] He spent much of the next decade fighting the French in the Hundred Years' War. In 1419, he was created Count of Aumale, part of the King's policy of giving out Norman titles to his nobles. He was appointed Master of the Horse. Responsibilities[edit] Henry V's will gave Warwick the responsibility for the education of the infant Henry VI of England. This duty required him to travel back and forth between England and Normandy many times. In 1437, the Royal Council deemed his duty complete, and he was appointed lieutenant of France and Normandy. He remained in France for the remaining two years of his life. Marriages and children[edit] Warwick first married Elizabeth de Berkeley (born ca.1386 – 28 December 1422) before 5 October 1397,[6] the daughter of Thomas de Berkeley, 5th Lord Berkeley and Margaret de Lisle, 3rd Baroness de Lisle. Together they had 3 daughters: Margaret, Countess of Shrewsbury (1404–1468), who married John Talbot, 1st Earl of Shrewsbury, and whose great-great-grandson John Dudley was created Earl of Warwick and subsequently Duke of Northumberland; Eleanor, Duchess of Somerset, (1407–1467) who first married Thomas de Ros, 9th Baron de Ros and then married Edmund Beaufort, 2nd Duke of Somerset; Elizabeth, Baroness Latimer of Snape, (1417–1480) who first married George Neville, 1st Baron Latimer, and then married Thomas VI Wake of Blisworth (1435–1476). Warwick then married Lady Isabel le Despenser (26 July 1400 – 1439), the daughter of Thomas le Despenser, 1st Earl of Gloucester and Constance of York. With Isabel, who was also the widow of his cousin Richard de Beauchamp, 1st Earl of Worcester, his children were: Henry de Beauchamp, 1st Duke of Warwick, (born March 1425) who succeeded his father as Earl of Warwick, and later became Duke of Warwick; Anne Beauchamp, 16th Countess of Warwick, (b September 1426) who was theoretically Countess of Warwick in her own right (after the death of her niece), and who married Richard Neville, 16th Earl of Warwick. Death and Burial[edit] Effigy of Richard de Beauchamp in the Beauchamp Chapel of St Mary's Church, Warwick. The finest piece of English 15th-century bronze sculpture, modelled and cast by William Austen of London, gilded and engraved by Bartholomew Lambespring, a Dutch goldsmith.[7] Richard de Beauchamp's will was made at Caversham Castle in Oxfordshire (now Berkshire), one of his favoured residences, in 1437. Most of his property was entailed, but with a portion of the rest the will established a substantial trust. After his debts were paid the trust endowed the Collegiate Church of St Mary in Warwick, and called for the construction of a new chapel there. It also enlarged the endowment of the chantries at Elmley Castle and Guy's Cliffe, and gave a gift to Tewkesbury Abbey.[8] Beauchamp died in Rouen, Normandy, two years later, on 30 April 1439.[9] After the completion of the chapel, his body was transferred there (in 1475),[8] where his magnificent gilt-bronze monumental effigy may still be seen.

Contents 1 Career 2 Marriage 3 Magna Carta 4 Family 5 References Career Richard was the son of Roger de Clare, 2nd Earl of Hertford and Maud, daughter of James de St. Hillary.[1] More commonly known as the Earl of Clare, he had the majority of the Giffard estates from his ancestor, Rohese.[2] He was present at the coronations of King Richard I at Westminster, 3 September 1189, and King John on 27 May 1199. He was also present at the homage of King William of Scotland as English Earl of Huntingdon at Lincoln.[citation needed] Marriage He married (c. 1172) Amice Fitzwilliam, 4th Countess of Gloucester (c. 1160–1220), second daughter, and co-heiress, of William Fitz Robert, 2nd Earl of Gloucester, and Hawise de Beaumont. Sometime before 1198, Earl Richard and his wife Amice were ordered to separate by the Pope on grounds of consanguinity. They separated for a time because of this order but apparently reconciled their marriage with the Pope later on.[citation needed] Magna Carta He sided with the Barons against King John, even though he had previously sworn peace with the King at Northampton, and his castle of Tonbridge was taken. He played a leading part in the negotiations for Magna Carta, being one of the twenty five sureties. On 9 November 1215, he was one of the commissioners on the part of the Barons to negotiate the peace with the King. In 1215, his lands in counties Cambridge, Norfolk, Suffolk and Essex were granted to Robert de Betun. He and his son were among the Barons excommunicated by the Pope in 1215. His own arms were: Or, three chevronels gules.[citation needed] Family Richard and Amice had children: Gilbert de Clare (ca. 1180 – 25 October 1230), 4th Earl of Hertford and 5th Earl of Gloucester, (or 1st Earl of Gloucester of new creation).

3907	Richard de Clare, 5th Earl of Hertford, 6th Earl of Gloucester, 2nd Lord of Glamorgan, 8th Lord of Clare (4 August 1222 – 14 July 1262) was son of Gilbert de Clare, 4th Earl of Hertford and Isabel Marshal.[1][2] He was also a powerful Marcher Lord in Wales and inherited the Lordship of Glamorgan upon the death of his father. He played a prominent role in the constitutional crisis of 1258–1263. Contents 1 Early life 2 Marriage 3 Military career 4 Death and legacy 5 Family 6 Ancestry 7 See also 8 References Early life On his father's death, when he became Earl of Gloucester (October 1230), Richard was entrusted first to the guardianship of Hubert de Burgh. On Hubert's fall, his guardianship was given to Peter des Roches (c. October 1232); and in 1235 to Gilbert, Earl Marshall.[3] Marriage Richard's first marriage to Margaret or Megotta, as she was also called, ended with either an annulment or her death in November 1237. They were both about 14 or 15. The marriage of Hubert de Burgh's daughter Margaret to Richard de Clare, the young Earl of Gloucester, brought de Burgh into some trouble in 1236, for the earl was as yet a minor and in the wardship of King Henry III, and the marriage had been celebrated without the royal licence. Hubert, however, protested that the match was not of his making, and promised to pay the king some money, so the matter passed by for the time.[4][5] Even before Margaret died, the Earl of Lincoln offered 5,000 marks to King Henry to secure Richard for his own daughter. This offer was accepted, and Richard's second marriage, on 2 February 1238, was to Maud de Lacy, daughter of John de Lacy, 1st Earl of Lincoln[6] Military career Richard joined in the Barons' letter to the Pope in 1246 against the exactions of the Curia in England. He was among those in opposition to the King's half-brothers, who in 1247 visited England, where they were very unpopular, but afterwards he was reconciled to them.[7] In August 1252/3 the King crossed over to Gascony with his army, and to his great indignation Richard refused to accompany him and went to Ireland instead. In August 1255 the king sent him and John Maunsel to Edinburgh to find out the truth about reports which had reached the King that his son-in-law, Alexander III, King of Scotland, was being coerced by Robert de Roos and John Balliol. They were to try to bring the young King and Queen to him. The Earl and his companion, pretending to be the two of Roos's knights, obtained entry to Edinburgh Castle, and gradually introduced their attendants, so that they had a force sufficient for their defence. They gained access to the Scottish Queen, who complained to them that she and her husband had been kept apart. They threatened Roos with dire punishments, so that he promised to go to the King.[1][4][8] Meanwhile, the Scottish magnates, indignant that their castle of Edinburgh was in English hands, proposed to besiege it, but they desisted when they found they would be besieging their King and Queen. The King of Scotland apparently travelled south with Richard, for on 24 September they were with King Henry III at Newminster, Northumberland. In July 1258 he fell ill, supposedly poisoned together with his brother William by his steward, Walter de Scotenay. He recovered, but his brother died.[2] Death and legacy Richard died at John de Criol's Manor of Asbenfield in Waltham, near Canterbury, on 14 July 1262 at the age of 39; it was rumoured that he had been poisoned at the table of Piers of Savoy. On the following Monday he was carried to Canterbury where a requiem mass was sung; his body was then transported about 45 miles (72 km) to the canons' church at Tonbridge and interred in the choir. From there it was taken to Tewkesbury Abbey and buried 28 July 1262, with great solemnity in the presence of two bishops and eight abbots in the presbytery at his father's right hand.[9] Richard's own arms were: Or, three chevronels gules.[10] Richard left extensive property, distributed across numerous counties. Details of these holdings were reported at a series of inquisitions post mortem that took place after his death.[11] Family Richard had no children by his first wife, Margaret (or "Megotta") de Burgh. By his second wife, Maud de Lacy, daughter of the Surety John de Lacy and Margaret de Quincy, he had:[citation needed] Isabel de Clare (c. 1240–1270); m. William VII, Marquess of Montferrat.

3908	Richard Fitzalan, 4th Earl of Arundel, 9th Earl of Surrey, KG (1346 – 21 September 1397) was an English medieval nobleman and military commander. Contents 1 Lineage 2 Admiral 2.1 Power Struggle 2.2 Knight of the Garter 3 New favourites 4 Radcot Bridge 4.1 Opposed to peace 5 Marriage and children 6 Death and succession 7 Notes 7.1 Secondary sources 8 External links Lineage Born in 1346, he was the son of Richard Fitzalan, 3rd Earl of Arundel and Eleanor of Lancaster.[2] He succeeded his father to the title of Earl of Arundel on 24 January 1376. His brother was Thomas Arundel, the Bishop of Ely from 1374 to 1388, Archbishop of York from 1388 to 1397, and Archbishop of Canterbury in 1397 and from 1399 until his death in 1414.[3] At the coronation of Richard II, Richard Fitzalan carried the crown.[2] Admiral Richard Fitzalan, 4th Earl of Arundel; Thomas of Woodstock, Duke of Gloucester; Thomas Mowbray, Earl of Nottingham; Henry, Earl of Derby (later Henry IV); and Thomas Beauchamp, 12th Earl of Warwick, demand Richard II to let them prove by arms the justice for their rebellion In 1377, Richard Fitzalan held the title of Admiral of the North and West.[2] In this capacity, he attacked Harfleur at Whitsun 1378, but was forced to return to his ships by the defenders. Later, he and John of Gaunt attempted to seize Saint-Malo but were unsuccessful.[4] Power Struggle Fitzalan was closely aligned with Thomas, Duke of Gloucester, who was uncle of King Richard II. Thomas was opposed to Richard II's desire for peace with France in the Hundred Years War and a power struggle ensued between him and Gloucester. In late 1386, Gloucester forced King Richard II to name himself and Richard Fitzalan to the King's Council.[5] This Council was to all intents and purposes a Regency Council for Richard II. However, Richard limited the duration of the Council's powers to one year.[6] Knight of the Garter In 1386, Richard II named Richard Fitzalan Admiral of England and made him a Knight of the Garter.[2] As Admiral of England, he defeated a Franco-Spanish-Flemish fleet off Margate in March 1387, along with Thomas de Mowbray, Earl of Nottingham.[6] New favourites In August 1387, the King dismissed Gloucester and Fitzalan from the Council and replaced them with his favourites - including the Archbishop of York, Alexander Neville; the Duke of Ireland, Robert de Vere; Michael de la Pole; the Earl of Suffolk, Sir Robert Tresilian, who was the Chief Justice; and the former Mayor of London Nicholas Brembre.[7] Radcot Bridge The King summoned Gloucester and Fitzalan to a meeting. However, instead of coming, they raised troops and defeated the new Council at Radcot Bridge on 22 December 1387. During that battle, they took the favourites prisoner. The next year, the Merciless Parliament condemned the favourites. FitzAlan was one of the Lords Appellant who accused and condemned Richard II's favorites.[5] He made himself particularly odious to the King by refusing, along with Gloucester, to spare the life of Sir Simon de Burley who had been condemned by the Merciless Parliament. This was even after the queen, Anne of Bohemia, went down on her knees before them to beg for mercy. King Richard never forgave this humiliation and planned and waited for his moment of revenge. Arundel was named Governor of Brest in 1388.[2] Opposed to peace Peace was concluded with France in 1389. However, Richard FitzAlan followed Gloucester's lead and stated that he would never agree with the peace that had been concluded.[5] Marriage and children Arundel married twice. His first wife was Elizabeth de Bohun, daughter of William de Bohun, 1st Earl of Northampton and Elizabeth de Badlesmere. They married around 28 September 1359 and had seven children:[2] Thomas Fitzalan, 5th Earl of Arundel[2] Lady Eleanor Fitzalan (c. 1365 – 1375), on 28 October 1371, at the age of about six, married Robert de Ufford. Died childless. Elizabeth Fitzalan (c. 1366 – 8 July 1425), married first William Montacute (before December 1378); no issue. Married second, in 1384, Thomas Mowbray, 1st Duke of Norfolk; had issue. Married third, before August 1401, Sir Robert Goushill of Hoveringham; had issue. Married fourth, before 1411, Sir Gerard Usflete, son of Sir Gerard Usflete (d.1406),[8] MP, without issue.[2][9] Joan FitzAlan (1375 – 14 November 1435), who married William Beauchamp, 1st Baron Bergavenny;[2] Alice Fitzalan (1378 – before October 1415), married before March 1392, John Charleton, 4th Baron Cherleton. (not mentioned as an heir of Thomas in the Complete Peerage). Had an affair with Cardinal Henry Beaufort, by whom she had an illegitimate daughter, Jane Beaufort. Margaret Fitzalan, who married Sir Rowland Lenthall;[2] by whom she had two sons. William (or Richard) Fitzalan After the death of his first wife in 1385, Arundel married Philippa Mortimer, daughter of Edmund Mortimer, 3rd Earl of March. Her mother was Philippa Plantagenet, the only daughter of Lionel of Antwerp and thus a granddaughter of Edward III. They had no children.[2] Death and succession By 1394, Arundel was again a member of the royal council, and was involved in a quarrel with John of Gaunt, whom he accused in the parliament of that year.[10] Fitzalan further antagonized the King by arriving late for the queen's funeral. Richard II, in a rage, snatched a wand and struck Fitzalan in the face and drew blood. Shortly after that, the King feigned a reconciliation but he was only biding his time for the right moment to strike. Arundel was persuaded by his brother Thomas to surrender himself and to trust to the king's clemency.[10] On 12 July 1397, Richard was arrested for his opposition to Richard II,[2] as well as plotting with Gloucester to imprison the king.[11] He stood trial at Westminster and was attainted.[12] He was beheaded on 21 September 1397 and was buried in the church of the Augustin Friars, Bread Street, London.[2] Tradition holds that his final words were said to the executioner, "Torment me not long, strike off my head in one blow".[13] In October 1400, the attainder was reversed, and Richard's son Thomas succeeded to his father's estates and honours.[2] Notes Some Feudal Coats of Arms and Pedigrees.

He served on the expedition to the Pays de Caux under Lancaster.2 In January 1376 he succeeded to his father's estates and titles. Though the petitions of the Good Parliament contain complaints of the men of Surrey and Sussex against the illegal jurisdiction exercised by his novel 'shire-court' at Arundel over the rapes of Chichester and Arundel,3 he was appointed one of the standing council established in that parliament to restrain the dotage of Edward III.4 Arms of Richard Fitzalan, 4th (11th) Earl of Arundel. At Richard II's coronation he acted as chief butler.5 He was placed on the council of regency,6 and in 1380 put on a commission to regulate the royal household. In 1377 he was appointed admiral of the west. His earlier naval exploits were but little glorious, yet French authorities credit him with the merit of having saved Southampton from their assault.7 About Whitsuntide 1378 he attacked Harfleur, but was subsequently driven to sea.8 In the same year he and the Earl of Salisbury were defeated by a Spanish fleet, though they afterwards compelled Cherbourg to surrender.9 He next accompanied John of Gaunt on his expedition to St. Malo, where his negligence on the watch gave the French an opportunity to destroy a mine and so compel the raising of the siege.10 Arundel barely escaped with his life.11 The earl showed an equal sluggishness in defending even his own tenants when the French ravaged the coasts of Sussex.12 In 1381 he and Michael de la Pole were approved in parliament as councillors in constant attendance upon the young king and as governors of his person13 In 1383 he was proposed as lieutenant of Bishop Spencer of Norwich's crusading army, but the bishop refused to accept him.14 In 1385 he took part in the expedition to Scotland. Arundel definitely joined the baronial opposition that had now reformed under Gloucester, the king's uncle. He took a prominent part in the attack on the royal favourites in 1386, acted as one of the judges of M. de la Pole,15 and was put on the commission appointed in parliament to reform and govern the realm and the royal household.16 His appointment as admiral was now renewed with a wider commission, rendered necessary by the projected great invasion of England, which brought Charles VI to Sluys.17 In the spring of 1387 he and Nottingham prepared an expedition against the French, which, on 24 March, defeated a great fleet of Flemish, French, and Spanish ships off Margate, and captured nearly a hundred vessels laden with wine.18 This brilliant victory won Arundel an extraordinary popularity, which was largely increased by the liberality with which he refused to turn the rich booty to his own advantage. For the whole year wine was cheap in England and dear in Netherlands.19 Immediately after he sailed to Brest and relieved and revictualled the town, which was still held for the English, and destroyed two forts erected by the French besiegers over against it.20 He then returned in triumph to England, plundering the country round Sluys and capturing snips there on his way. All danger of French invasion was at an end. In 1387 Richard II obtained from the judges a declaration of the illegality of the commission of which Arundel was a member. His rash attempt to arrest the earl produced the final conflict. Northumberland was sent to seize Arundel at Reigate, but, fearing the number of his retainers, retired without accomplishing his mission.21 Warned of this treachery, Arundel escaped by night and joined Gloucester and Warwick at Harringhay, where they took arms (November 1387). At Waltham Cross on 16 Nov. they first appealed of treason the evil councillors of the king, and on 17 Nov. forced Richard to accept their charges at Westminster Hall. When the favourites attempted resistance, another meeting of the confederates was held on 12 Dec. at Huntingdon, where Arundel strongly urged the capture and deposition of the king. But the reluctance of the new associates, Derby and Nottingham, caused this violent plan to be rejected.22 But Arundel continued the fiercest of the king's enemies. In the parliament of February 1388 he was one of the five lords who solemnly renewed the appeal [see Lords Appellant].23 He specially pressed for the execution of Burley [Sir Simon Burley, Warden of the Cinque Ports], though Derby wished to save him, and for three hours the queen interceded on her knees for his life.24 In May 1388 Arundel again went to sea, still acting as admiral, and now also as captain of Brest and lieutenant of the king in Brittany. Failing to do anything great in that country, he sailed southward, conquered Oleron and other small islands off the coast , and finally landed off La Rochelle, and took thence great pillage.25 Next year, however, he was superseded as admiral by Huntingdon,26 and in May was, with the other Lords Appellant, removed from the council. He was, however, restored in December, when Richard and his old masters finally came to terms.27 For the next few years peace prevailed at home and abroad. The party of the appellants began to show signs of breaking up, though Arundel still remained faithful to his old policy. In 1392 he was fined four hundred marks for marrying Philippa, daughter of the Earl of March and widow of John Hastings, Earl of Pembroke.28 A personal quarrel of Arundel with John of Gaunt marks the beginning of the catastrophe of Richard II's reign. The new Countess of Arundel was rude to Catharine Swynford [Duchess of Lancaster].29 Henry Beaufort, if report were true, seduced Alice, Arundel's daughter.30 In 1393, when Arundel was residing at his castle of Holt, a revolt against John of Gaunt broke out in Cheshire, and Arundel showed such inactivity in assisting in the restoration of peace that the duke publicly accused him in parliament of conniving at the rising.31 Arundel answered by a long series of complaints against Lancaster.32 Some of these so nearly touched the king as to make him very angry, and Arundel was compelled to apologise for what he had said. The actual English words that he uttered in his recantation are preserved in the Rolls of Parliament. A short retirement from court now seems to have ensued,33 but Arundel soon returned, only to give Richard fresh offence by coming late to the queen's funeral and yet asking leave to retire at once from the ceremony.34 The king struck Arundel with a cane with such force as to shed blood and therefore to pollute the precincts of Westminster Abbey. On 3 Aug. Arundel was sent to the Tower,35 but was released on 10 Aug.,36 when he re-entered the council. The appointment of his brother Thomas as Archbishop of Canterbury may mark the final reconciliation. After the stormy parliament of February 1397, Arundel and Gloucester withdrew from court, after reproaching the king with the loss of Brest and Cherbourg. It was probably after this, if ever, that Arundel entertained Gloucester, Warwick, and his brother the Archbishop at Arundel Castle, when they entered into a solemn conspiracy against Richard.37 Nottingham, who, though Arundel's son-in-law and one of the appellants, had now deserted his old party, informed Richard of the plot. The king invited the three chief conspirators to a banquet on 10 July.38 From this Arundel absented himself without so much as an excuse, but the arrest of Warwick, who ventured to attend, was his justification. He was, however, in a hopeless position. His brother pressed him to surrender, and persuaded him that the king had given satisfactory promises of his safety.39 He left accordingly his stronghold at Reigate, and accompanied the archbishop to the palace. Richard at once handed him over into custody, while Thomas returned sorrowfully to Lambeth.40 This was on 16 July. Arundel was hurried off to Carisbrooke and thence after an interval removed to the Tower. On 17 Sept. a royalist parliament assembled. The pardons of the appellants were revoked.41 On 20 Sept. Archbishop Arundel was impeached. Next day the new appellants laid their charges against the Earl of Arundel before the lords. He was brought before them, arrayed in scarlet. With much passion he protested that he was no traitor, and that the charges against him were barred by the pardons he had received. A long and angry altercation broke out between him and John of Gaunt and Henry of Derby, his old associate. He refused to answer the charges, denounced his accusers as liars, and when the speaker declared that the pardon on which he relied had been revoked by the faithful Commons, exclaimed, 'The faithful commons are not here'.42 He was, of course, condemned, though Richard commuted the barbarous penalty of treason into simple decapitation. The execution immediately followed. He was hurried through the streets of London to Tower Hill, amidst the lamentations of a sympathising multitude. Brutally ill-treated by the bands of Cheshiremen who had been collected to overawe the Londoners, he displayed extraordinary firmness and resolution, 'no more shrinking or changing colour than if he were going to a banquet.'43 He rebuked with much dignity his treacherous kinsfolk,44 and exhorted the hangman to sharpen well his axe. Slain by a single stroke, he was buried in the church of the Augustinian friars. The people reverenced him as a martyr, and went on pilgrimage to his tomb. At last Richard, conscience-stricken though he was at his death, avoided a great political anger by ordering all traces of the place of his burial to be removed. But after the fall of Richard the pilgrimages were renewed, and the next generation did not doubt that his merits had won for him a place in the company of the saints.45 Arundel was very religious and a bountiful patron of the church. So early as 1380 he was admitted into the brotherhood of the abbey of Tichfield. In the same year he founded the hospital of the Holy Trinity at Arundel for a warden and twenty poor men.46 Between 1380 and 1387 he enlarged the chantry projected by his father into the college of the Holy Trinity, also at Arundel. This establishment now included a master and twelve secular canons, and superseded the confiscated alien priory of St. Nicholas.47 In his will he left liberal legacies to several churches. By his first wife, Elizabeth (d. 1385), daughter of William de Bohun, Earl of Northampton, Arundel had three sons and four daughters. The second son, Thomas, ultimately became Earl of Arundel. Of his daughter Elizabeth's four husbands, the second was Thomas Mowbray, Earl of Nottingham. Another daughter, Joan, married William, Lord Bergavenny. A third, Alice, married John, Lord Charlton of Powys. By Philippa Mortimer Arundel had no children. 1. Depending on the source and on how the barons are counted, he is called either the 4th, 11th, or 14th Earl of Arundel. 2. Nicolas, Scrope and Grosvenor Roll, i. 220. 3.

3914	Richard Neville, 2nd Baron Latimer KB (c.1468 – c. 28 December 1530) of Snape, North Yorkshire, was an English soldier and peer. He fought at the battles of Stoke and Flodden. Richard Neville was the eldest son of Sir Henry Neville, who was killed on 26 July 1469 at the Battle of Edgecote Moor, and Joan Bourchier (d. 7 October 1470), daughter of John Bourchier, 1st Baron Berners, by Margery, daughter and heiress of Richard Berners, esquire. He had a brother, Thomas Neville, and a sister, Joan Neville, wife of Sir James Radcliffe.[1] Neville's maternal grandfather, John Bourchier, 1st Baron Berners, was the fourth son of William Bourchier, 1st Count of Eu in Normandy, and his wife Anne of Gloucester, daughter of Thomas of Woodstock, youngest son of King Edward III. By her second husband, Edmund Stafford, 5th Earl of Stafford, Anne of Gloucester was the mother of Humphrey Stafford, 1st Duke of Buckingham.[2] On his father's side, Richard Neville was the grandson of George Neville, 1st Baron Latimer (d. 30 or 31 December 1469), and Elizabeth Beauchamp, the daughter of Richard de Beauchamp, 13th Earl of Warwick.[3] Career[edit] When he was only a year old, Richard Neville inherited the barony together with lands in 24 counties, including Snape Castle in Richmondshire, at the death of his grandfather, George Neville, 1st Baron Latimer, on 30 or 31 December 1469. His wardship and marriage were purchased for £1000 in May 1470 by his great uncle, Thomas Bourchier, Archbishop of Canterbury, while his lands remained in the hands of the crown. He was made a Knight of the Bath on 17 January 1478.[4] Neville had livery of his lands without proof of age on 8 May 1491. From 12 August of that year until 3 November 1529 he was summoned to Parliament by writs directed to 'Ricardo Nevill de Latimer chivaler'. However, in about 1494 his inheritance was contested by Robert Willoughby, 1st Baron Willoughby de Broke, who although summoned to the 1491 Parliament by writs directed to 'Roberto Willughby de Broke chivaler', nonetheless claimed that he was entitled to the Latimer barony and lands through his great-grandmother's brother, John Willoughby. Neville ultimately prevailed, and a herald recorded that 'the Lord Brooke had made a wrong claim'.[5] Neville's father-in-law, Sir Humphrey Stafford (c.1426/7 – 8 July 1486) of Grafton, Worcestershire, was a staunch supporter of King Richard III. After Richard's defeat at Bosworth, Stafford and Francis Lovell, 1st Viscount Lovell, fled to sanctuary at Colchester. In April 1486 they attempted to stir up rebellion against the new King, Henry VII, with Stafford trying to raise forces in the West Midlands, and Lovell in Yorkshire. When the rebellion collapsed, on 11 May 1486 Stafford again fled to sanctuary, this time at Culham, but was not allowed to claim the privilege, and for his part in the insurrection was executed at Tyburn on 8 July 1486.[6] In contrast, Neville appears to have supported the new regime. According to Ford, Neville's strengths were 'loyalty to the crown and military service'. On 16 June 1487 he fought at the Battle of Stoke with Henry VII's forces which put down the rising of the pretender, Lambert Simnel. He served with the army in the north after the Earl of Northumberland was assassinated in 1489, and was with the King's forces in Brittany in 1492. In 1499 he attended the trial of the pretender, Perkin Warbeck. In 1513 he was with the Earl of Surrey at the Battle of Flodden, where he fought in the vanguard. In September 1522 the Earl of Shrewsbury consulted him regarding war against the Duke of Albany.[7] Neville also served in non-military capacities. He was appointed to a number of commissions, and is recorded as being in attendance at festivities at court in 1488 and 1499. In 1503 he was among those who escorted King Henry VII's daughter, Margaret Tudor, between Tadcaster and York on her journey to Scotland to wed James IV. In November 1515 he was among those present at Westminster Abbey when Thomas Wolsey was made Cardinal.[8] On 13 July 1530 Neville was one of the signatories to the letter petitioning Pope Clement VII to grant Henry VIII a divorce from Catherine of Aragon. He died shortly before 28 December 1530 at Snape Castle, and was buried with his first wife, Anne Stafford, in the church of St. Michael at Well, North Yorkshire.[9] Marriages and issue[edit] Richard Neville married firstly, about 1490, Anne Stafford, daughter of Sir Humphrey Stafford of Grafton, Worcestershire, and Katherine Fray (12 May 1482), the daughter of Sir John Fray, Chief Baron of the Exchequer, by Agnes Danvers (d. June 1478), the daughter of Sir John Danvers (died c.1448), by whom he had six sons and six daughters:[10] John Neville, 3rd Baron Latimer, who married firstly, Dorothy de Vere, daughter of Sir George Vere by Margaret Stafford, and sister and coheir of John de Vere, 14th Earl of Oxford; secondly, Elizabeth Musgrave; and thirdly, Catherine Parr, later Henry VIII's sixth Queen.[11] William Neville (15 July 1497 – c.1545), author of The Castell of Pleasure, who married, before 1 April 1529, Elizabeth Greville, the daughter of Sir Giles Greville, by whom he had a son, Richard Neville of Penwyn and Wyke Sapie, Worcestershire, and two daughters, Mary and Susan.[12] After the death without male issue of John Neville, 4th Baron Latimer, William's son, Richard Neville (d. 27 May 1590), wrongfully assumed the title of Baron Latimer.[13] Sir Thomas Neville of Piggotts Hall in Ardleigh, Essex, who married Mary Teye, the daughter and coheir of Sir Thomas Teye, by whom he had a son, Thomas.[14] Marmaduke Neville of Marks Tey, who married Elizabeth Teye, the daughter and coheir of Sir Thomas Teye, by whom he had a son, Christopher, who died young, and a daughter, Alianore, who married Thomas Teye, esquire, of Layer de la Haye, Essex.[15] George Neville, Archdeacon of Carlisle, (born 29 July 1509, buried 6 September 1567 at Well, North Yorkshire).[16] Christopher Neville.[17] Margaret Neville (born 9 March 1495), eldest daughter, who married, by papal dispensation dated 22 November 1505, Edward Willoughby (d. November 1517) of Alcester, Warwickshire, son of Robert Willoughby, 2nd Baron Willoughby de Broke (d. 10 or 11 November 1521), by his first wife, Elizabeth Beauchamp, by whom she had three daughters, Elizabeth (buried 15 November 1562), who married Sir Fulke Greville (d. 10 November 1559), Anne (d. 1528) and Blanche (d. before 1543), who married Francis Dawtrey.[18] Elizabeth Willoughby and Sir Fulke Greville (d. 10 November 1559) were the grandparents of the courtier and author, Fulke Greville, 1st Baron Brooke.[19] Dorothy Neville, who married John Dawnay Elizabeth Neville (born 28 April 1500), who married, before 1531, Sir Christopher Danby (c.1505 – 14 June 1571), of Farnley, North Yorkshire, only son of Sir Christopher Danby (d. 17 March 1518) and Margaret Scrope, daughter of Thomas Scrope, 5th Baron Scrope of Masham (d.1475). They had six sons, Sir Thomas Danby, Christopher Danby, John Danby, James Danby, Marmaduke Danby and William Danby, and eight daughters, Dorothy, who married Sir John Neville; Mary; Joan, who married Roger Meynell, esquire; Margaret, who married Christopher Hopton, esquire; Anne, who married Sir Walter Calverley; Elizabeth, who married Thomas Wentworth, esquire; Magdalen, who married Marmaduke Wyvill; and Margery, who married Christopher Mallory, esquire.[20] Anne Danby and Sir Walter Calverley were the grandparents of Walter Calverley (d.1605), whose murder of his children is dramatized in A Yorkshire Tragedy, attributed on the title page to William Shakespeare.[21] It seems likely that Anne's brother, William Danby, was the William Danby who served as coroner at the inquest into the death of Christopher Marlowe in 1593. Katherine Neville.[22] Susan Neville (1501 – c.1560), who married the rebel Richard Norton (d. 9 April 1585), esquire, the eldest son of John Norton (d. 1557) by Anne Radcliffe (d. before 1557).[23] Joan Neville.[24] By licence dated 5 July 1502 Richard Neville married secondly, Margaret (d. 16 December 1521), the widow of Sir James Strangways.[25] Ancestry[edit] [show]Ancestors of Richard Neville, 2nd Baron Latimer Footnotes[edit] Jump up ^ Richardson III 2011, p. 2.

Margaret, 6s. 5da. 1 Reeve of St. George's Gild, Chichester 1523-4, mayor 1527,1532,1541, 1546,71551; commr. for musters, Chichester 1539.2 This Member came of a family not long settled in Sussex. His great grandfather, Robert Bowyer of Knipersley, Staffs., had moved to Sussex about 1410 and founded a new branch of his ancient family at Petworth, a property owned by the Percies, Earls of Northumberland, whom the Bowyers served at various times. William Bowyer of Petworth, who died in 1528, was bailiff to Henry Percy, 6th Earl, but it is unlikely that Robert owed anything to his father's connexion. 3 Well known both in the city of London, and at the Inns of court, the Bowyers in the sixteenth century found more than their measure of fortune. Robert Bowyer's third son Francis was to become a freeman of the Grocers' Company, an alderman of London, and sheriff of that city in 1577. Another son, William, became master of the records in the Tower, and his son Robert was to be clerk of the Parliaments, author of the famous diary of the sessions between 1606 and 1607, and, himself a keeper of the Tower records, a key figure as the hunt for precedents grew more urgent. 4 Robert Bowyer of Chichester had a far less distinguished career than most of his sons, although he cut a figure in his own city as a merchant and a prominent member of the gild which continued to govern Chichester in the Tudor period. When returned to the Parliament of 1529 he had already been mayor and was well established as a merchant, though probably surpassed - 66 - in wealth by the Cressweller family: in the subsidy return of 1524 Bowyer and John Cressweller the elder had been assessed at £40 and £200 in goods respectively. 5 Bowyer and Cressweller were both engaged in the export of kerseys and, together with John Yong, and an alien Cornelius Derryck, they had the largest share of this trade out of Chichester as'revealed by the customs accounts. Some of Bowyer's kerseys were exported from Arundel. He imported a miscellaneous selection of goods and materials, in particular, nails, hemp, sugar, soap, pitch, tar, feathers and even on one occasion one hundred frying pans. One such cargo was valued at over £30. Bowyer clearly took advantage of what trade passed through this small provincial port. The value and extent of his participation in the internal trade of Sussex or Hampshire is impossible to assess. 6 On two occasions early in Edward VI's reign John Cressweller the Younger brought Bowyer to court for failing to comply with two contracts. These show that Bowyer was purchasing houses in Chichester and other property in the Isle of Thorney and paying for these partly in cash and partly in white and coloured kerseys, later exported by Cressweller 'to Flanders, France and Brabant'. Some personal antagonism existed between them; Bowyer had arranged for Cressweller to be arrested by Edmond Forde (q. v. ), a. local justice, for failure to pay a small rent. This, at least, was Cressweller's story.(7) Bowyer seems, however, to have been respected in the city. He served more terms as mayor than any other citizen throughout the sixteenth century. A dispute arose over the mayoral election of 1541, when some in the city objected either to the custom of electing the mayor from the gild body, or - and this is more likely - to the overbearing action of John Castleman, the outgoing mayor. A small group of citizens, led by Richard Litleworth, 'communed together who should be next mayor of Chichester, and of the election of him: and would be glad to have Bowyer of Chichester to be elected mayor because they think he would be favourable to the poor commoners of Chichester. ' Though temporarily confined to ward they achieved their object: Bowyer was elected for the ensuing year. 8 Robert Bowyer's return to Parliament in 1529 and 1547, and perhaps to intervening Parliaments for which no returns survive, clearly reflected his influential position in the city. It is impossible to say whether he was the Member elected by the gild, or by the commoners; but, since the gild more often than not nominated the commoner's Member, the distinction is of little interest without evidence of electoral disputes, which is lacking before 1557. If, as seems likely, his fellow Member in 1529, Robert Trigges (q. v. ), was recorder of the city at this date, Bowyer may have been returned by the commoners. By 1547 Bowyer had served three terms as mayor, and was more likely to have been returned by the gild than his fellow Member, Richard Sackville (q. v. ), who, though well known in Chichester, was not a member of the governing body. There is no record of Bowyer's activity in the Commons. The bill for preventing the establishment of further mills in Sussex was committed to 'Master Bowes' on 26 Feb. 1552, but this Member was presumably Sir Martin Bowes, to whom a number of bills concerning economic affairs were committed during this Parliaments 9 Bowyer probably sympathised with'the religious changes made in the Parliaments which he attended. While there is no evidence of his own religious views, his brother, Thomas Bowyer of London, married into a vigorous Protestant circle, his nephew was in exile at Frankfurt during Mary's reign, and two of his sons, Francis and Robert (q. v. ), are known to have opposed the Marian regime. When Bowyer made his will on 13 July 1551 he confined his bequests almost entirely to the immediate members of his family. He made no mention of the mayors and aldermen with whom he had served. The will suggests he was in comfortable financial circumstances: he bequeathed a total of £170 in ready money to his wife and children, giving his plate and silver to his wife, Margaret. Thomas Bowyer, his brother, a leading grocer of London, was appointed overseer, and the family connexions with the city were henceforward increasingly powerful. 10 1.

3923	Robert de Beaumont, 2nd Earl of Leicester (1104 – 5 April 1168) was Justiciar of England 1155–1168. The surname "de Beaumont" was given to him by genealogists. The only known contemporary surname applied to him is "Robert son of Count Robert". Henry Knighton, the fourteenth-century chronicler notes him as Robert "Le Bossu" (meaning "Robert the Hunchback" in French). The manuscript Genelogies of the Erles of Lecestre and Chester[1] states that he was "surnamed Boissu", and refers to him by the names Robert Boissu, Robert Beamond and Robert Beaumonde. Contents 1 Early life and education 2 Career at the Norman court 3 Civil war in England 4 Earl Robert and Henry Plantagenet 5 Church patronage 6 Family and children 7 Literary references 8 Notes 9 References Early life and education Robert was an English nobleman of Norman-French ancestry. He was the son of Robert de Beaumont, Count of Meulan and 1st Earl of Leicester, and Elizabeth de Vermandois, and the twin brother of Waleran de Beaumont. It is not known whether they were identical or fraternal twins, but the fact that they are remarked on by contemporaries as twins indicates that they were probably identical. The two brothers, Robert and Waleran, were adopted into the royal household shortly after their father's death in June 1118 (upon which Robert inherited his father's second titles of Earl of Leicester). Their lands on either side of the Channel were committed to a group of guardians, led by their stepfather, William, Earl of Warenne or Surrey. They accompanied King Henry I to Normandy, to meet with Pope Callixtus II in 1119, when the king incited them to debate philosophy with the cardinals. Both twins were literate, and Abingdon Abbey later claimed to have been Robert's school, but though this is possible, its account is not entirely trustworthy. A surviving treatise on astronomy (British Library ms Royal E xxv) carries a dedication "to Earl Robert of Leicester, that man of affairs and profound learning, most accomplished in matters of law" who can only be this Robert. On his death he left his own psalter to the abbey he founded at Leicester, which was still in its library in the late fifteenth century. The existence of this indicates that like many noblemen of his day, Robert followed the canonical hours in his chapel. Career at the Norman court In 1120 Robert was declared of age and inherited most of his father's lands in England, while his twin brother took the French lands. However, in 1121, royal favour brought Robert the great Norman honors of Breteuil and Pacy-sur-Eure, with his marriage to Amice de Gael, daughter of a Breton intruder the king had forced on the honor after the forfeiture of the Breteuil family in 1119. Robert spent a good deal of his time and resources over the next decade integrating the troublesome and independent barons of Breteuil into the greater complex of his estates. He did not join in his brother's great Norman rebellion against King Henry I in 1123–24. He appears fitfully at the royal court despite his brother's imprisonment until 1129. Thereafter the twins were frequently to be found together at Henry I's court. Robert held lands throughout the country. In the 1120s and 1130s he tried to rationalise his estates in Leicestershire. Leicestershire estates of the See of Lincoln and the Earl of Chester were seized by force. This enhanced the integrity of Robert's block of estates in the central midlands, bounded by Nuneaton, Loughborough, Melton Mowbray and Market Harborough. In 1135, the twins were present at King Henry's deathbed. Robert's actions in the succession period are unknown, but he clearly supported his brother's decision to join the court of the new king Stephen before Easter 1136. During the first two years of the reign Robert is found in Normandy fighting rival claimants for his honor of Breteuil. Military action allowed him to add the castle of Pont St-Pierre to his Norman estates in June 1136 at the expense of one of his rivals. From the end of 1137 Robert and his brother were increasingly caught up in the politics of the court of King Stephen in England, where Waleran secured an ascendancy which lasted till the beginning of 1141. Robert participated in his brother's political coup against the king's justiciar, Roger of Salisbury (the Bishop of Salisbury). Civil war in England The outbreak of civil war in England in September 1139 brought Robert into conflict with Earl Robert of Gloucester, the bastard son of Henry I and principal sponsor of the Empress Matilda. His port of Wareham and estates in Dorset were seized by Gloucester in the first campaign of the war. In that campaign the king awarded Robert the city and castle of Hereford as a bid to establish the earl as his lieutenant in Herefordshire, which was in revolt. It is disputed by scholars whether this was an award of a second county to Earl Robert. Probably in late 1139, Earl Robert refounded his father's collegiate church of St Mary de Castro in Leicester as a major Augustinian abbey on the meadows outside the town's north gate, annexing the college's considerable endowment to the abbey. The battle of Lincoln on 2 February 1141 saw the capture and imprisonment of King Stephen. Although Count Waleran valiantly continued the royalist fight in England into the summer, he eventually capitulated to the Empress and crossed back to Normandy to make his peace with the Empress's husband, Geoffrey of Anjou. Earl Robert had been in Normandy since 1140 attempting to stem the Angevin invasion, and negotiated the terms of his brother's surrender. He quit Normandy soon after and his Norman estates were confiscated and used to reward Norman followers of the Empress. Earl Robert remained on his estates in England for the remainder of King Stephen's reign. Although he was a nominal supporter of the king, there seems to have been little contact between him and Stephen, who did not confirm the foundation of Leicester Abbey till 1153. Earl Robert's principal activity between 1141 and 1149 was his private war with Ranulf II, Earl of Chester. Though details are obscure it seems clear enough that he waged a dogged war with his rival that in the end secured him control of northern Leicestershire and the strategic Chester castle of Mountsorrel. When Earl Robert of Gloucester died in 1147, Robert of Leicester led the movement among the greater earls of England to negotiate private treaties to establish peace in their areas, a process hastened by the Empress's departure to Normandy, and complete by 1149. During this time the earl also exercised supervision over his twin brother's earldom of Worcester, and in 1151 he intervened to frustrate the king's attempts to seize the city. Earl Robert and Henry Plantagenet The arrival in England of Duke Henry, son of the Empress Matilda, in January 1153 was a great opportunity for Earl Robert. He was probably in negotiation with Henry in that spring and reached an agreement by which he would defect to him by May 1153, when the duke restored his Norman estates to the earl. The duke celebrated his Pentecost court at Leicester in June 1153, and he and the earl were constantly in company till the peace settlement between the duke and the king at Winchester in November 1153. Earl Robert crossed with the duke to Normandy in January 1154 and resumed his Norman castles and honors. As part of the settlement his claim to be chief steward of England and Normandy was recognised by Henry. Earl Robert began his career as chief justiciar of England probably as soon as Duke Henry succeeded as King Henry II in October 1154.[1] The office gave the earl supervision of the administration and legal process in England whether the king was present or absent in the realm. He appears in that capacity in numerous administrative acts, and had a junior colleague in the post in Richard de Luci, another former servant of King Stephen. The earl filled the office for nearly fourteen years until his death,[1] and earned the respect of the emerging Angevin bureaucracy in England. His opinion was quoted by learned clerics, and his own learning was highly commended. He died on 5 April 1168,[1] probably at his Northamptonshire castle of Brackley, for his entrails were buried at the hospital in the town. He was received as a canon of Leicester on his deathbed, and buried to the north of the high altar of the great abbey he had founded and built. He left a written testament of which his son the third earl was an executor, as we learn in a reference dating to 1174. Church patronage Robert founded and patronised many religious establishments. He founded Leicester Abbey and Garendon Abbey in Leicestershire, the Fontevraldine Nuneaton Priory in Warwickshire, Luffield Abbey in Buckinghamshire, and the hospital of Brackley, Northamptonshire. He refounded the collegiate church of St Mary de Castro, Leicester, as a dependency of Leicester abbey around 1164, after suppressing it in 1139. Around 1139 he refounded the collegiate church of Wareham as a priory of his abbey of Lyre, in Normandy. His principal Norman foundations were the priory of Le Désert in the forest of Breteuil and a major hospital in Breteuil itself. He was a generous benefactor of the Benedictine abbey of Lyre, the oldest monastic house in the honor of Breteuil. He also donated land in Old Dalby, Leicestershire to the Knights Hospitallers who used it to found Dalby Preceptory. About the year 1150, Robert le Bossu, earl of Leicester, gave to one Solomon, a clerk, an acre of land at Brackley whereon to build a house for showing hospitality to the poor, together with a free chapel and graveyard.[2] Family and children He married after 1120 Amice de Montfort, daughter of Raoul II de Montfort, himself a son of Ralph de Gael, Earl of East Anglia. Both families had lost their English inheritances through rebellion in 1075. They had four children: Hawise de Beaumont, who married William Fitz Robert, 2nd Earl of Gloucester and had descendants. Robert de Beaumont, 3rd Earl of Leicester who married Petronilla de Grandmesnil and had descendants. Isabel, who married Simon de St. Liz, Earl of Huntingdon and had descendants. Margaret, who married Ralph IV de Toeni and had descendants through their daughter, Ida de Tosny. Literary references He is a major character in The Holy Thief and a minor character in Brother Cadfael's Penance, of the Brother Cadfael series by Ellis Peters. He is also a major character in Cecelia Holland's novel The Earl.

3924	Robert de Beaumont, 3rd Earl of Leicester From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to navigationJump to search Robert de Beaumont, 3rd Earl of Leicester (died 1190) was an English nobleman, one of the principal followers of Henry the Young King in the Revolt of 1173–1174 against his father Henry II. He is also called Robert Blanchemains (French for "White Hands"). Contents 1 Life 2 Family 3 Notes 4 References Life He was the son of Robert de Beaumont, 2nd Earl of Leicester, a staunch supporter of Henry II, and he inherited from his father large estates in England and Normandy. When the revolt of the younger Henry broke out in April 1173, Robert went to his castle at Breteuil in Normandy. The rebels' aim was to take control of the duchy, but Henry II himself led an army to besiege the castle; Robert fled, and the Breteuil was taken on September 25 or 26. Robert apparently went to Flanders, where he raised a large force of mercenaries, and landed at Walton, Suffolk, on 29 September 1173. He joined forces with Hugh Bigod, 1st Earl of Norfolk, and the two marched west, aiming to cut England in two across the Midlands and to relieve the king's siege of Robert's castle at Leicester. However, they were intercepted by the king's supporters and defeated at the Battle of Fornham near Fornham, near Bury St Edmunds, on 17 October. Robert, along with his wife and many others, were taken prisoner. Henry II took away the earl's lands and titles as well. He remained in captivity until January 1177, well after most of the other prisoners had been released. The king was in a strong position and could afford to be merciful; not long after his release Robert's lands and titles were restored, but not his castles. All but two of his castles had been destroyed, and those two (Montsorrel in Leicestershire and Pacy in Normandy) remained in the king's hands. Robert had little influence in the remaining years of Henry II's reign, but was restored to favour by Richard I. He carried one of the swords of state at Richard's coronation in 1189. In 1190 Robert went on the third crusade to Palestine, but he died at Dyrrachium on his return journey. Family Robert married Petronilla, who was a daughter of William de Grandmesnil and great-granddaughter and eventual heiress to the English lands of Domesday baron, Hugh de Grandmesnil. They had five children: Robert, who succeeded his father as Earl of Leicester; Roger, who became Bishop of St Andrews in 1189; William, possibly the ancestor of the House of Hamilton;[1][2] Amicia, who married Simon de Montfort (died 1188), and whose son Simon subsequently became Earl of Leicester; Margaret, who married Saer de Quincy, later 1st Earl of Winchester.

3926	Robert de Scales was appointed Knight of the Order of the Bath by Prince Edward whom he accompanied in the Scottish wars[1] and was given an exemption for life from sitting on assizes, juries, etc. against his will.[2] He was summoned to Parliament from 1306 until his death in 1324.[1] He was summoned as a Peer to the Coronation of Edward II on 25 February 1308.[3] Residences Robert's main residence was at Rivenhall in Essex but he also held the manors of Lyneford, Hokewold cum Wiltone, Reynham, South Lenn, Middleton, Berton Bynedick, Hoo and Ilsington in Norfolk.[2][4] Family Robert married Egelina[2] (aka Egelma aka Evelina) daughter of Hugh de Courtenay[1] and they had the following children: Sir Robert de Scales, 3rd Baron Scales (?-1369) Eleanor (d. 1361), married John de Sudeley, 2nd Baron Sudeley (d. 1340) Petronella de Scales married Sir John de Boville References Philip Morant, The History and Antiquities of the County of Essex Patent Rolls House of Lords, Supplemental Case of the House of Lords Feudal Aids 1284-1431 ======================================================================== Knights Templar Three main ranks There was a threefold division of the ranks of the Templars: the noble knights, the non-noble sergeants, and the chaplains. The Templars did not perform knighting ceremonies, so any knight wishing to become a Knight Templar had to be a knight already.[70] They were the most visible branch of the order, and wore the famous white mantles to symbolize their purity and chastity.[71] They were equipped as heavy cavalry, with three or four horses and one or two squires. Squires were generally not members of the order but were instead outsiders who were hired for a set period of time. Beneath the knights in the order and drawn from non-noble families were the sergeants.[72] They brought vital skills and trades from blacksmiths and builders, including administration of many of the order's European properties. In the Crusader States, they fought alongside the knights as light cavalry with a single horse.[73] Several of the order's most senior positions were reserved for sergeants, including the post of Commander of the Vault of Acre, who was the de facto Admiral of the Templar fleet. The sergeants wore black or brown. From 1139, chaplains constituted a third Templar class. They were ordained priests who cared for the Templars' spiritual needs.[48] All three classes of brother wore the order's red cross.[74] 74. Selwood, Dominic (7 April 2013).

3927	Robert Honywood and Mary Atwater had sixteen children of whom fourteen lived to maturity. Their decadency is nearly boundless. They are ancestral to Mary Baker, first wife of Robert Brooke, emigrant to Maryland abt 1650, and thus ancestral to a vast number of Americans.	HONYWOOD, Robert (I10296)
3928	Robert Howard (1385—1436), Knight, of Stoke by Nayland, Suffolk,[1] was an English nobleman, the eldest son of John Howard (c.1366-1437), of Wiggenhall and East Winch, Norfolk, by the latter's second wife, Alice Tendring.[2][3][note 1] Alice was also an heiress, although not to the same degree as John Howard's first wife, Lady Plaiz, who had brought him estates worth over £400 per annum.[6] They had two sons; Robert was the elder. His younger brother, Henry Howard, was to be later murdered by retainers of John, Baron Scrope of Masham, after his parents and brother had died.[7] Robert Howard senior "naturally found no difficulty in securing marriages for his children and grandchild with important gentry families."[3] – The History of Parliament In 1420, Howard married Lady Margaret Mowbray,[3] whose father was Thomas de Mowbray, 4th Earl of Norfolk (d.1399); her cousin was Thomas's brother John, later Duke of Norfolk.[8] She outlived him, surviving until 1459.[9] Her sister, Isabel, had married James, later Baron Berkeley, which, it has been said, "forged a link between the Berkeleys and the Howards that continued for two centuries."[10][note 2] In the words of Anne Crawford, however, it was "a clearly unequal marriage."[4] It does appear, however, that they made the decision to marry for themselves as adults, rather than as was customary for the period, by arrangement as children.[11][12] There is little comprehensive knowledge available as to Howard's career. Early historians of the family made what have been called "somewhat grand claims" on his behalf: for example, that he commanded a fleet of 3,000 men out of Lowestoft to attack the French coast whilst Henry V was on campaign there. It is considered extremely doubtful that this actually ever occurred since such an undertaking would have certainly left its mark in official local or governmental records. It may well be that grandiose stories have been imagined around a simple truth; viz that Howard did indeed fight in France, but that he did so alongside his kinsman and regional magnate, John, second Duke of Norfolk, who indeed spent much of his career doing precisely that. Although Howard is not mentioned on any of the surviving lists of retainers Mowbray took with him, it is likely that Howard was a member of the duke's household. he had, after all, married Mowbray's sister. Further, in November 1428, as the duke sailed up the River Thames to Westminster, his barge rammed a pier under London Bridge; Mowbray lost several members of his household in this accident. Not only did the duke survive, but Mowbray is recorded as having been with him and surviving also.[13] Howard—and presumably his wife—probably lived with the duke at his caput of Framlingham Castle until Mowbray died in 1432. Howard's father outlived him, although only by a year; having set out for the Holy Land on crusade, he reached Jerusalem but died there on 17 November 1437. Robert Howard's mother had pre-deceased them both;[3] she left Robert her manor of Stoke by Nayland in her will. Howard and Margaret had had three children, John, Katherine, and Margaret.[14] John was to be a prominent retainer for the third duke of Norfolk,[15] and when civil war broke out less than twenty years later, he was to play a leading role as one of the House of York's firmest supporters. In 1483, when Richard III took the throne, he rewarded John Howard with the by now-extinct Mowbray dukedom of Norfolk.[16][note 3] Notes Whilst clearly of different social strata, the Howards were themselves a still prominent local gentry family in East Anglia with a lineage dating back to the thirteenth century,[4] and have been described as "one of the wealthiest and most prestigious gentry lines in England."[5] Later marriages between the two families further strengthened the dynastic links between them.[10] The fourth and last Mowbray Duke of Norfolk (the second duke's grandson) had died suddenly in 1476, leaving no male heir.[16] References Joseph 1899, p. 919.

3929	Robert I (15 August 866 – 15 June 923), King of Western Francia (922–923), was the younger son of Robert the Strong, count of Anjou, and the brother of Odo, who became king of the Western Franks in 888. West Francia evolved over time into France; under Odo, the capital was fixed on Paris, a large step in that direction. His family is known as the Robertians. He was present at the Siege of Paris in 885. Appointed by Odo ruler of several counties, including the county of Paris, and abbot in commendam of many abbeys, Robert also secured the office of Dux Francorum, a military dignity of high importance. He did not claim the crown of West Francia when his brother died in 898; but recognising the supremacy of the Carolingian king, Charles the Simple, he was confirmed in his offices and possessions, after which he continued to defend northern Francia from the attacks of the Norsemen. The peace between the king and his powerful vassal was not seriously disturbed until about 921. The rule of Charles, and especially his partiality for a certain Hagano, had aroused some irritation; and, supported by many of the clergy and by some of the most powerful of the Frankish nobles, Robert took up arms, drove Charles into Lorraine, and was himself crowned king of the Franks (rex Francorum) at Rheims on 29 June 922. Collecting an army, Charles marched against the usurper and, on 15 June 923, in a stubborn and sanguinary battle near Soissons, Robert was killed, according to one tradition in single combat with his rival. His army nonetheless won the battle, and Charles was captured. Robert was married twice. Through his first wife, Aelis, he had two daughters. Each married powerful lay vassals of their father: Emma of France (894–935) to Rudolph, Duke of Burgundy, and Hildebranda (895–931) to Herbert II of Vermandois. Through his second wife, Béatrice of Vermandois, daughter of Herbert I of Vermandois, he had his only son, Hugh the Great, who was later dux Francorum and father of King Hugh Capet, and a daughter Richilda. He may have had other daughters. This article incorporates text from a publication now in the public domain: Chisholm, Hugh, ed (1911). Encyclopædia Britannica (11th ed.). Cambridge University Press.

3931	Robert Willoughby, 2nd Baron Willoughby de Broke and de jure 10th Baron Latimer, KB (1472 – 10 November 1521) was an English nobleman and soldier. Robert Willoughby was born about 1470–2 (aged 30 in 1502, 36 in 1506), the son of Sir Robert Willoughby, 1st Baron Willoughby de Broke (c. 1452-1502) and Blanche Champernowne. He married firstly before 28 Feb. 1494/5 Elizabeth Beauchamp, daughter of Richard Beauchamp, 2nd Baron Beauchamp of Powick, and secondly c. 1509 Lady Dorothy Grey, daughter of Thomas Grey, 1st Marquess of Dorset and Cecily Bonville, 7th Baroness Harington. By his first wife he had two sons, Edward, Esq. (died 1517) and Anthony, Knt., and by the second wife 6 children, including sons Henry and William, and daughters Elizabeth, who married John Paulet, 2nd Marquess of Winchester, and Anne, who married Charles Blount, 5th Baron Mountjoy. He was knighted before 1504. He served in the army in France in 1513, and was apparently to be present at the Field of the Cloth of Gold in June 1520. He inherited the title 2nd Baron Willoughby de Broke and 10th Baron Latimer on the death of his father in 1502. On his death on 10 November 1521 at Bere Ferrers in Devon the title went into abeyance. His widow, Dorothy, married (2nd) before 29 July 1523 as his fourth wife, William Blount, 4th Baron Mountjoy.[2][3] Notes[edit] Jump up ^ Rogers, 1890, p.32 Jump up ^ Richardson I 2011, pp. 336-7.

He was the half-brother of the Empress Matilda, and her chief military supporter during the civil war known as The Anarchy, in which she vied with Stephen of Blois for the throne of England. Contents 1 Early life 2 Family 3 Relationship with King Stephen 4 In popular culture 5 See also 6 Citations 7 Sources Early life Robert was probably the eldest of Henry's many illegitimate children.[1] He was born before his father's accession to the English throne, either during the reign of his grandfather William the Conqueror or his uncle William Rufus.[4] He is sometimes and erroneously designated as a son of Nest, daughter of Rhys ap Tewdwr, last king of Deheubarth, although his mother has been identified as a member of "the Gay or Gayt family of north Oxfordshire",[5] possibly a daughter of Rainald Gay (fl. 1086) of Hampton Gay and Northbrook Gay in Oxfordshire. Rainald had known issue Robert Gay of Hampton (died c. 1138) and Stephen Gay of Northbrook (died after 1154). A number of Oxfordshire women feature as the mothers of Robert's siblings.[5][6] Robert may have been a native of Caen[1] or he may have been only Constable and Governor of that city, jure uxoris.[2] Robert's father had contracted him in marriage to Mabel FitzHamon, daughter and heir of Robert Fitzhamon, but the marriage was not solemnized until June 1119 at Lisieux.[1][7] His wife brought him the substantial honours of Gloucester in England and Glamorgan in Wales, and the honours of Sainte-Scholasse-sur-Sarthe and Évrecy in Normandy, as well as Creully. After the White Ship disaster late in 1120, and probably because of this marriage,[8] in 1121 or 1122 his father created him Earl of Gloucester.[9] Family Robert and his wife Mabel FitzHamon married in 1114, and they had seven children: William FitzRobert (1116 – 1183): succeeded his father as 2nd Earl of Gloucester Roger FitzRobert (c. 1118 – 1179): Bishop of Worcester Hamon FitzRobert, knight (c. 1122 – 1159): killed at the siege of Toulouse. Richard FitzRobert, Lord of Creully (c. 1125 – 1175): succeeded his mother as Sire de Creully. Matilda FitzRobert (c. 1126 – 1189): married in 1143 Ranulf de Gernon, 4th Earl of Chester. Mabel FitzRobert: married Aubrey de Vere Philip FitzRobert, Lord of Cricklade (c. 1130 – 1148) He also had four illegitimate children: Richard FitzRobert (died 1142): Bishop of Bayeux [mother: Isabel de Douvres, sister of Richard de Douvres, bishop of Bayeux (1107–1133)] Robert FitzRobert (died 1170): Castellan of Gloucester, married in 1147 Hawise de Reviers (daughter of Baldwin de Reviers, 1st Earl of Devon and his first wife Adelisa), had daughter Mabel FitzRobert (married firstly Jordan de Chambernon and secondly William de Soliers) Mabel FitzRobert: married Gruffud, Lord of Senghenydd, son of Ifor Bach. Thomas FitzRobert Relationship with King Stephen There is evidence in the contemporary source, the Gesta Stephani, that Robert was proposed by some as a candidate for the throne, but his illegitimacy ruled him out: Among others came Robert, Earl of Gloucester, son of King Henry, but a bastard, a man of proved talent and admirable wisdom. When he was advised, as the story went, to claim the throne on his father's death, deterred by sounder advice he by no means assented, saying it was fairer to yield it to his sister's son (the future Henry II of England), than presumptuously to arrogate it to himself. This suggestion cannot have led to any idea that he and Stephen were rivals for the Crown, as Geoffrey of Monmouth in 1136 referred to Robert as one of the 'pillars' of the new King's rule. The capture of King Stephen at the Battle of Lincoln on 2 February 1141 gave the Empress Matilda the upper hand in her battle for the throne, but by alienating the citizens of London she failed to be crowned Queen. Her forces were defeated at the Rout of Winchester on 14 September 1141, and Robert of Gloucester was captured nearby at Stockbridge. The two prisoners, King Stephen and Robert of Gloucester, were then exchanged, but by freeing Stephen, the Empress Matilda had given up her best chance of becoming queen. She later returned to France, where she died in 1167, though her son succeeded Stephen as King Henry II in 1154. Robert of Gloucester died in 1147 at Bristol Castle, where he had previously imprisoned King Stephen, and was buried at St James' Priory, Bristol, which he had founded. In popular culture Robert of Gloucester is a figure in many of the novels by Ellis Peters in the Cadfael Chronicles (written between 1977 and 1994) where he is seen as a strong moderating force to his half-sister (see Saint Peter's Fair). His efforts to gain the crown for his sister by capturing King Stephen and her own actions in London are part of the plot in The Pilgrim of Hate. His capture by Stephen's wife Queen Mathilda is in the background of the plot of An Excellent Mystery. The exchange of the imprisoned Robert for the imprisoned Stephen is in the background of the plot of The Raven in the Foregate. Robert's travels to persuade his brother-in-law to aid Empress Maud militarily in England is in the background of the novel The Rose Rent. His return to England when Empress Maud is trapped in Oxford Castle figures in The Hermit of Eyton Forest. Robert's return to England with his young nephew Henry, years later the king succeeding Stephen, is in the background of the plot of The Confession of Brother Haluin, as the battles begin anew with Robert's military guidance. Robert's success in the Battle of Wilton (1143) leads to the death of a fictional character, part of the plot of The Potter's Field. In the last novel, he is a father who can disagree with then forgive his son Philip (see the last novel, Brother Cadfael's Penance). In that last novel, Brother Cadfael speculates on the possibly different path for England if the first son of old King Henry, the illegitimate Robert of Gloucester, had been recognised and accepted. In Wales of that era, a son was not illegitimate if recognized by his father, and to many in the novels, Robert of Gloucester seemed the best of the contenders to succeed his father. Robert is also a central character in Sharon Penman's 1995 novel When Christ and His Saints Slept. He was also central in the struggle during The Anarchy as portrayed in Ken Follet's 1989 novel The Pillars of the Earth and in the 2010 mini-series of the same name.

White Roger de montgomery, 1st earl of Shrewsbury, married Mabel de Bellême, the heiress of a great house which held the castles of Bellême and Alencon, Domfront and Sées, with widespread lands along the southern marches of Normandy, not only in that duchy but in the kingdom of France and the county of Maine. The importance of the family is attested by its inclusion in L'Art de Vérifier les Dates; but the standard account in that great work was superseded in 1920 by the detailed history of the lords of Bellême published by the Vicomte du Motey. Unfortunately the author's enthusiasm for his heroes overran his discretion; and as Orderic, our leading authority, paints most of them in the blackest colours, du Motey made a bitter attack on his accuracy and even on his veracity. Moreover, he made no attempt to grapple with the chronological difficulties inherent in the received descent, nor did he show any critical idea of the comparative value of his authorities; whilst his own lively imagination added picturesque details to what might otherwise have been a “bald and unconvincing narrative”.

Between 1050-1054 she married Roger II de Montgomery, later 1st Earl of Shrewsbury.[4] Roger II de Montgomery was already a favorite of Duke William and by being given the marriage to Mabel it increased his fortunes even further.[5] Her husband Roger had not participated in the Norman conquest of England but had remained behind in Normandy as co-regent along with William's wife, Matilda of Flanders.[6] He had also contributed 60 ships to Duke William's invasion force.[7] He joined the king in England in 1067 and was rewarded with the earldom of Shropshire and a number of estates to the point that he was one of the largest landholders in the Domesday Book.[1] She and her husband Roger transferred the church of Saint-Martin of Séez to Evroul and petitioned her uncle, Yves, Bishop of Séez to build a monastery there on lands from her estates. The consecration was in 1061 at which time Mabel made additional gifts.[8] Her character[edit] Of all of Orderic’s female subjects Mabel was the most cunning and treacherous; if not entirely for her own misdeeds then as the mother of Robert de Bellême, who had a reputation for savagery as well as cruelty.[9] In one passage Orderic describes her as "small, very talkative, ready enough to do evil, shrewd and jocular, extremely cruel and daring."[2] In perpetuating her family’s feud with the Giroie family she set her sights on Arnold de Echauffour, the son of William fitz Giroie who her father had mutilated at his wedding celebration.[a] She obtained part of his estates when she and her husband Roger convinced Duke William to confiscate his lands. In 1063 however, Arnold was promised forgiveness by the Duke and was to have his lands restored. To prevent this Mabel plotted to kill Arnold.[10] She attempted to murder Arnold of Echauffour by poisoning a glass of wine but he declined to drink. Her husband's brother, refreshing himself after a long ride, drank the wine and died shortly thereafter. In the end though she bribed Arnold's chamberlain providing him with the necessary poison, this time being successful.[b][11] Excepting Theodoric, abbot of the abbey of Saint-Evroul, who she listened to at times, Mabel was hostile to most members of the clergy; but her husband loved the monks at Saint-Evroul so she found it necessary to be more subtle.[2] In an incident in 1064,[12] she deliberately burdened their limited resources by visiting the abbey for extended stays with a large retinue of her soldiers.[c] When rebuked by Theodoric the abbot for her callousness she snapped back that the next time she would visit with an even larger group. The abbot predicted that if she did not repent of her evilness she would suffer great pains and that very evening she did. She left the abbey in great haste as well as in great pain and did not abuse their hospitality again.[13] Mabel continued her wickedness causing many nobles to lose their lands and become destitute.[3] In 1077 she took the hereditary lands of Hugh Bunel by force.[14] Two years later while coming out of her bath, she was killed by some men who had crept into the castle.[15] Hugh had enlisted the help of his three brothers, gained entry to the castle of Bures on the Dives and struck off her head with his sword. The murderers were pursued but escaped by destroying a bridge behind them.[3] Mabel's murder occurred on 2 December 1079 and she was buried three days later at Troarn.[16] Epitaph[edit] Her epitaph is notable as an example of monks bowing more to “the partiality of her friends than to her own merits": Sprung from the noble and the brave, Here Mabel finds a narrow grave. But, above all woman’s glory, Fills a page in famous story. Commanding, eloquent, and wise, And prompt to daring enterprise; Though slight her form, her soul was great, And, proudly swelling in her state, Rich dress, and pomp, and retinue, Lent it their grace and houours due. The border’s guard, the country’s shield, Both love and fear her might revealed, Till Hugh, revengeful, gained her bower, In dark December’s midnight hour. Then saw the Dive’s o’erflowing stream The ruthless murderer’s poignard gleam. Now friends, some moments kindly spare, For her soul’s rest to breathe a prayer![17] Family[edit] Mabel and her husband, Roger de Montgomery had ten children: Roger of Montgomery, oldest son, died young.[18] Robert de Bellême, Count of Alençcon in 1082, he succeeded his younger brother Hugh as 3rd Earl of Shrewsbury. He married Agnes, Countess of Ponthieu and died in 1131.[19] Hugh of Montgomery, 2nd Earl of Shrewsbury, died without issue 1098.[20] Roger the Poitevin, Vicomte d'Hiemois, married Adelmode de la Marche.[21] Philip of Montgomery.[22] Arnulf of Montgomery,[22] married Lafracota daughter of Muirchertach Ua Briain.[23] Sibyl of Montgomory, she married Robert Fitzhamon, Lord of Creully.[24] Emma, abbess of Almenchêches.[25] Matilda (Maud) of Montgomery, she married Robert, Count of Mortain and died c. 1085.[26] Mabel of Montgomery, she married Hugh de Châteauneuf.[22] Notes[edit] Jump up ^ For more on the feud between the Bellêmes and the Giroies see the article William I Talvas Jump up ^ This and other stories regarding Mabel de Bellême as painted by Orderic Vitalis might seem somewhat difficult to accept on fact value and it may be tempting to simply dismiss them. But Orderic was a monk at Evroul where the Giroie family played an important part and one of Orderic's fellow monks was Rainald, son of the murdered Arnold de Echauffour. Orderic was raised in the Montgomery household and may even have met Mabel when he was a child. His father, Odelerie of Orleans, served Roger II de Montgomery, Mabel’s husband. So Orderic had important firsthand knowledge of these individuals and his own character is that of an honest monk not known to be malicious or spiteful. See: Douglas, William the Conqueror (1964), p. 414; White, 'The First House of Bellême', TRHS, 22, p. 70. Also, due to the fact that Mabel de Bellême and especially her husband Roger were closely associated with Duke William, both William of Jumièges and William of Poitiers, while certainly aware of their activities, needed to be very careful with what they recorded. Orderic, writing later after the main figures were all dead had no need of such tact and could write what he knew about them. See: François Neveux, The Normans (2006), p. 113. Jump up ^ When Mabel was murdered, Orderic was only about two years old. However, her reputation for hating and oppressing monks was well remembered at the Abbey of Saint-Evroul and elsewhere. In her use of the abbey for billeting her retinue of knights, undoubtedly for defense of her lands in the area, she was committing a gross breach of the rights of hospitality. While Orderic depicts her as a truly evil woman, he was not alone in his opinion of her.

In November 1316, he was appointed Lord Lieutenant of Ireland. He was imprisoned in the Tower of London in 1322 for having led the Marcher lords in a revolt against King Edward II in what became known as the Despenser War. He later escaped to France, where he was joined by Edward's queen consort Isabella, whom he took as his mistress. After he and Isabella led a successful invasion and rebellion, Edward was subsequently deposed; Mortimer allegedly arranged his murder at Berkeley Castle. For three years, Mortimer was de facto ruler of England before being himself overthrown by Edward's eldest son, Edward III. Accused of assuming royal power and other crimes, Mortimer was executed by hanging at Tyburn.

He was born on April 25, 1287, the Feast of Saint Mark, a day of bad omen. He shared this birthday with King Edward II, which would be relevant later in life.[2] Edmund Mortimer was a second son, intended for minor orders and a clerical career, but on the sudden death of his elder brother Ralph, Edmund was recalled from Oxford University and installed as heir. According to his biographer Ian Mortimer, Roger was possibly sent as a boy away from home to be fostered in the household of his formidable uncle, Roger Mortimer de Chirk.[3] It was this uncle who had carried the severed head of Llywelyn ap Gruffudd of Wales to King Edward I in 1282.[4] Roger attended the Coronation of Edward II on 25th February 1308 and carried a table bearing the royal robes in the ceremony's procession.[5] Marriage[edit] Like many noble children of his time, Roger was betrothed at a young age, to Joan de Geneville (born 1286), the daughter of Sir Piers de Geneville, of Trim Castle and Ludlow. They were married on 20 September 1301 when he was aged fourteen. Their first child was born in 1302.[6] Through his marriage, Roger not only acquired numerous possessions in the Welsh Marches, including the important Ludlow Castle, which became the chief stronghold of the Mortimers, but also extensive estates and influence in Ireland. However, Joan de Geneville was not an "heiress" at the time of her marriage. Her grandfather Geoffrey de Geneville, at the age of eighty in 1308, conveyed most, but not all, of his Irish lordships to Roger Mortimer, and then retired: he finally died in 1314, with Joan succeeding as suo jure 2nd Baroness Geneville. During his lifetime Geoffrey also conveyed much of the remainder of his legacy, such as Kenlys, to his younger son Simon de Geneville, who had meanwhile become Baron of Culmullin through marriage to Joanna FitzLeon. Roger Mortimer therefore succeeded to the eastern part of the Lordship of Meath, centred on Trim and its stronghold of Trim Castle. He did not succeed, however, to the Lordship of Fingal.[7] Military adventures in Ireland and Wales[edit] Roger Mortimer's childhood came to an abrupt end when his father was mortally wounded in a skirmish near Builth in July 1304. Since Roger was underage at the death of his father, he was placed by King Edward I under the guardianship of Piers Gaveston, 1st Earl of Cornwall. However, on 22 May 1306, in a lavish ceremony in Westminster Abbey with two hundred and fifty-nine others, he was knighted by Edward and granted livery of his full inheritance.[8] His adult life began in earnest in 1308, when he went to Ireland in person to enforce his authority. This brought him into conflict with the de Lacys, who turned for support to Edward Bruce, brother of Robert Bruce, King of Scots. Mortimer was appointed Lord Lieutenant of Ireland by Edward II on 23 November 1316. Shortly afterwards, at the head of a large army, he drove Bruce to Carrickfergus and the de Lacys into Connaught, wreaking vengeance on their adherents whenever they were to be found. He returned to England and Wales in 1318[9] and was then occupied for some years with baronial disputes on the Welsh border. Opposition to Edward II[edit] Main article: Despenser War Mortimer became disaffected with his king and joined the growing opposition to Edward II and the Despensers. After the younger Despenser was granted lands belonging to him, he and the Marchers began conducting devastating raids against Despenser property in Wales. He supported Humphrey de Bohun, 4th Earl of Hereford, in refusing to obey the king's summons to appear before him in 1321 as long as "the younger Despencer was in the King's train."[5] Mortimer led a march against London, his men wearing the Mortimer uniform which was green with a yellow sleeve.[10] He was prevented from entering the capital, although his forces put it under siege. These acts of insurrection compelled the Lords Ordainers led by Thomas, 2nd Earl of Lancaster, to order the king to banish the Despensers in August. When the king led a successful expedition in October against Margaret de Clare, Baroness Badlesmere, after she had refused Queen Isabella admittance to Leeds Castle, he used his victory and new popularity among the moderate lords and the people to summon the Despensers back to England. Mortimer, in company with other Marcher Lords, led a rebellion against Edward, which is known as the Despenser War.[5] In January 1322 Roger attacked and burnt Bridgnorth but, being heavily outnumbered, was forced to surrender to the king at Shrewsbury.[5] Mortimer joined Lancaster at the Battle of Boroughbridge in May 1322 and warrants for his arrest were issued in July.[5] A death sentence was passed upon Roger but this was commuted to life imprisonment and he was consigned to the Tower of London.[5] In August 1323 Mortimer, aided by the Constable, Stephen de Segrave, drugged the warders and escaped.[5] He attempted to capture Windsor and Wallingford Castles to free imprisoned Contrariants.[5] Roger eventually fled to France, pursued by warrants for his capture dead or alive.[11] In the following year Queen Isabella, anxious to escape from her husband, obtained his consent to her going to France to use her influence with her brother, King Charles IV, in favour of peace. At the French court the queen found Roger Mortimer, who became her lover soon afterwards. At his instigation, she refused to return to England so long as the Despensers retained power as the king's favourites. Historians have speculated as to the date at which Mortimer and Isabella actually became lovers.[12] The modern view is that it began while both were still in England, and that after a disagreement, Isabella abandoned Roger to his fate in the Tower. His subsequent escape became one of medieval England's most colourful episodes. However almost certainly Isabella risked everything by chancing Mortimer's companionship and emotional support when they first met again at Paris four years later (Christmas 1325). King Charles IV's protection of Isabella at the French court from Despenser's would-be assassins played a large part in developing the relationship.[13] In 1326, Mortimer moved as Prince Edward's guardian to Hainault, but only after a furious dispute with the queen, demanding she remain in France.[14] Isabella retired to raise troops in her County of Ponthieu; Mortimer arranged the invasion fleet supplied by the Hainaulters and an army supplied by his supporters back in England, who had been sending him aid and advice since at least March 1326.[15] Invasion of England and defeat of Edward II[edit] The scandal of Isabella's relations with Mortimer compelled them both to withdraw from the French court to Flanders, where they obtained assistance for an invasion of England from Count William of Hainaut, although Isabella did not arrive from Ponthieu until the fleet was due to sail. Landing in the River Orwell on 24 September 1326, they were accompanied by Prince Edward and Henry, Earl of Lancaster. London rose in support of the queen, and Edward took flight to the west, pursued by Mortimer and Isabella. After wandering helplessly for some weeks in Wales, the king was taken prisoner on 16 November, and was compelled to abdicate in favour of his son. Though the latter was crowned as Edward III of England on 25 January 1327, the country was ruled by Mortimer and Isabella. On September 21 that same year, Edward II died in captivity. The suspicious death of Edward II has been the subject of many conspiracy theories, including that Mortimer killed him, but none have been proven.[citation needed] Powers won and lost[edit] Following the removal of the Despensers, Roger set to work in restoring the status of his supporters, primarily in the Marches, and hundreds of pardons and restorations of property were made in the first year of the new king's reign.[15] Rich estates and offices of profit and power were heaped on Mortimer. He was made constable of Wallingford Castle and in September 1328 he was created Earl of March. However, although in military terms he was far more competent than the Despensers, his ambition was troubling to all. His own son Geoffrey, the only one to survive into old age, mocked him as "the king of folly."[citation needed] During his short time as ruler of England he took over the lordships of Denbigh, Oswestry, and Clun (the first of which belonged to Despenser, the latter two had been the Earl of Arundel's). He was also granted the marcher lordship of Montgomery by the queen.[citation needed] The "Tyburn Tree" The jealousy and anger of many nobles were aroused by Mortimer's use of power. Henry, Earl of Lancaster, one of the principals behind Edward II's deposition, tried to overthrow Mortimer, but the action was ineffective as the young king passively stood by. Then, in March 1330, Mortimer ordered the execution of Edmund, Earl of Kent, the half-brother of Edward II. After this execution Henry Lancaster prevailed upon the young king, Edward III, to assert his independence. In October 1330, a Parliament was summoned to Nottingham, just days before Edward's eighteenth birthday, and Mortimer and Isabella were seized by Edward and his companions from inside Nottingham Castle. In spite of Isabella's entreaty to her son, "Fair son, have pity on the gentle Mortimer," Mortimer was conveyed to the Tower. Accused of assuming royal power and of various other high misdemeanours, he was condemned without trial and ignominiously hanged at Tyburn on 29 November 1330, his vast estates forfeited to the crown. His body hung at the gallows for two days and nights in full view of the populace. Mortimer's widow Joan received a pardon in 1336 and survived till 1356. She was buried beside Mortimer at Wigmore, but the site was later destroyed.[16] In 2002, the actor John Challis, the owner of the remaining buildings of Wigmore Abbey, invited the BBC programme House Detectives at Large to investigate his property. During the investigation, a document was discovered in which Mortimer's widow Joan petitioned Edward III for the return of her husband's body so she could bury it at Wigmore Abbey. Mortimer's lover Isabella had buried his body at Greyfriars in Coventry following his hanging. Edward III replied, "Let his body rest in peace." The king later relented, and Mortimer's body was transferred to Wigmore Abbey, where Joan was later buried beside him.[citation needed] Children of Roger and Joan[edit] The marriages of Mortimer's children (three sons and eight daughters) cemented Mortimer's strengths in the West. Sir Edmund Mortimer knt (1302–1331), married Elizabeth de Badlesmere; they produced Roger Mortimer, 2nd Earl of March, who was restored to his grandfather's title. Margaret Mortimer (1304 – 5 May 1337), married Thomas de Berkeley, 3rd Baron Berkeley Maud Mortimer (1307 – aft. 1345), married John de Charlton, Lord of Powys[17] Geoffrey Mortimer (1309–1372/6) John Mortimer (1310–1328) Joan Mortimer (c. 1312–1337/51), married James Audley, 2nd Baron Audley Isabella Mortimer (c. 1313 – aft. 1327) Katherine Mortimer (c. 1314–1369), married Thomas de Beauchamp, 11th Earl of Warwick Agnes Mortimer (c. 1317–1368), married Laurence Hastings, 1st Earl of Pembroke Beatrice Mortimer (d. 16 October 1383), who married firstly, Edward of Norfolk (d. before 9 August 1334), son and heir apparent of Thomas of Brotherton, by whom she had no issue, and secondly, before 13 September 1337, Thomas de Brewes (d. 9 or 16 June 1361), by whom she had three sons and three daughters.[18] Blanche Mortimer (c. 1321–1347), married Peter de Grandison, 2nd Baron Grandison Royal descendants[edit] Through his son Sir Edmund Mortimer, he is an ancestor of the last Plantagenet monarchs of England from King Edward IV to Richard III. By Edward IV's daughter, Elizabeth of York, the Earl of March is an ancestor to King Henry VIII and to all subsequent monarchs of the United Kingdom. Ancestry[edit] [show]Ancestors of Roger Mortimer, 1st Earl of March In fiction[edit] Mortimer appears in Christopher Marlowe's play Edward II (c. 1592) as well as Bertolt Brecht's The Life of Edward II of England (1923). In Derek Jarman's film Edward II (1991), based on Marlowe's play, he is portrayed by Nigel Terry. Mortimer is also a character in Les Rois maudits (The Accursed Kings), a series of French historical novels by Maurice Druon. He was portrayed by Claude Giraud (fr) in the 1972 French miniseries adaptation of the series, and by Bruno Todeschini in the 2005 adaptation.[20] Mortimer is a character in World Without End and is played by Hannes Jaenicke.

3937	Rollo (died between 928 and 933 ) is the head Viking causing the Duchy of Normandy . In 911 , in exchange for stopping its looting, he received the King Charles the Simple territory around Rouen . About a hundred years later, this concession will become the Duchy of Normandy. It is quite difficult to fix the fabric of life of Rollo, because it is also the subject of legends. Names and nicknames of Rollo [ edit \| edit the code ] Rollo (Rollo in Latin ) is sometimes called Robert I the Rich, Robert is the name he received at his baptism . The Norman historians gladly appoint the Rhou or Rou , resulting from the regular phonetic evolution Hrólfr in Norman dialect, according to the following scheme: Hrólfr> Rolf> Rouf (cf. Norman surnames in -ouf)> Rou (see also Osouf, Auzou Ingouf or alternatively Ygout variant). There is also a variant from the equivalent name from the continental Germanic Latinized Rodulfus (Rudolph), and another Latinized variant Radulfus (Ralf Ralph), hence its other name of Raoul. More often, he is nicknamed "Rollo the Walker" (Göngu-Hrólfr in Old Norse ), as the legend tells that no horse has ever been able to carry his imposing stature of more than two meters to more than one hundred and forty kilos . For others, the legend had to show Rollo as a giant because he was powerful and feared. For its part, Régis Boyer , professor of languages, literatures and Scandinavian civilization to the University of Paris-Sorbonne , argues that this nickname refers to his many travels, his extraordinary journey (göngu would actually göngumadr, namely vagabond). According Adigard of Gautries , Hrólfr is the contraction of Hróó / Ulfr, meaning "fame / wolf" . The wanderings of a Viking chief [ edit \| edit the code ] 4The journey Rollo. The history of Rollo is rather uncertain, particularly its origins. The historian Lucien Musset noted that "the success of his dynasty (Rollo is behind the line of the Dukes of Normandy ) created around him a legend halo " . In addition, sources that evoke this character are almost all late. Some of them (notably Denmark) tell that he was born in Denmark in 845 . The sagas Icelandic thirteenth century rather have him as a Norwegian . The latter thesis seems to prevail today accession. These same sagas explain that Rollo is the son of Rognevald , an Earl ( Earl ) of the region of Møre og Romsdal , in west-central Norway . The ruins of the castle would be in the southern suburbs of Ålesund . Like many other Scandinavians , he was finally forced to leave his country and to sail the seas. The Heimskringla says he is banished by the King of Norway Harald beautiful hair for engaging in looting the country . In all likelihood, he became head of a band of Vikings , mostly Danes and some Norwegians , mainly attacks coasts of North Sea and English Channel . Dudo of Saint-Quentin , a historian of early eleventh century adds several details, unverifiable : after his banishment from Norway, Rollo refuge to King Anglo-Saxon Alstelmus . The latter gives him a little band of English and the Viking with his hand and Anglo-Scandinavian band ravage Frisia , the mouth of the Rhine and the Scheldt . Dudo of Saint-Quentin-site arrival of Rollo in the Frankish kingdom in 876 , the year of an important Viking incursion on the Seine . Again, no evidence to verify this claim. Today, many historians, like Jean Renaud and Lucien Musset before him doubt the accuracy of that date, and offer a late dating ( 890 - 905 ) . The installation of Rollo in Normandy [ edit \| edit the code ] Statue of Rollo at Rouen , by Arsène Letellier (Town Hall gardens). First contacts with Normandy [ edit \| edit the code ] In any case, whatever the date, Rollo addresses the Francia by the Seine . He discovered a region (the future Normandy) looted regularly since 841 by his fellow Vikings. His band moved to the mouth of the Seine and from there launches various raids in the Frankish kingdom. Our main source, Dudo of Saint-Quentin, reports that Rollon part in the siege of Paris between 885 - 887 , and then left for Bayeux between 886 and 890 . Beaten by the Breton Duke Alain le Grand , he would have folded to winter in Noyon . The historian Pierre Bauduin defends the thesis of an early installation Rollo in Normandy. Long enough to install the Viking chief made contact with representatives of power Carolingian and the Church. Does not he married, more danico (and certainly force), Poppa , daughter of the Count of Bayeux Berenger , after taking the city after killing it? Rollo surely develop alliances with the authorities in place, so that in the early 910 , there is no longer an obscure band leader. The Treaty of Saint-Clair-sur-Epte (911) [ edit \| edit the code ] The Duchy of Normandy between 911 and 1,050. After 886/890, Rollo probably Neustrie leaves for England. It is born overseas as his son William. It is up to 898 and concludes with the archbishop of Rouen "pact of Jumièges" to save the city of Rouen . In the summer of 911, he attacks Paris, but fails. The army of Rollo besieged then Chartres but it is the defeat July 20 911 ; Legend claims that Gancelme , bishop of the city , would have made from Rollo waving the veil of the Virgin Mary . It is especially important to see the joint intervention of the great aristocrats of the kingdom: Robert , Duke of the Franks and Marquis of Neustria Justiciar Richard , Duke of Burgundy and Manasses , Count of Dijon . This is the moment chosen by the Carolingian king Charles the Simple to negotiate with the powerful Scandinavian chef. Francon , archbishop of Rouen or perhaps its predecessor Gui is sent ambassador . It proposes the transfer of territory between the Andelle and the sea, but in return must convert. Robert approves the treaty and proposes as a sponsor of Rollo . The negotiations led to the Treaty of Saint-Clair-sur-Epte in 911 . Its terms are known to us only by the story of Dudo of Saint-Quentin. The king yields to Rollon a part of Neustria , a land from the Epte to the sea base of the future duchy of Normandy . In return, Rollo commits to block the Viking incursions threatening the Frankish kingdom. He was baptized in 912 in the Rouen Cathedral by the name of Robert, named after the Duke Robert , his godfather baptism and progenitor of future kings Capetian . Baptism of Rollo by the archbishop of Rouen. Rollo, Earl Norman [ edit \| edit the code ] Considered by historians as the first Duke of Normandy and the founder of the duchy Norman, it however not the title of Duke of Normandy but only that of Earl of Normans , the equivalent of the French prince. Also the Latin texts they often qualify originator, ie prince. It also inherits the Carolingian charge comes Rothomagensis, Count of Rouen or marchiones, Marquis, as one who defended the Seine against Viking raids. Government of Rollo [ edit \| edit the code ] It restores peace and security in Normandy. A legend tells that Rollon suspended for three years a gold ring to the shaft Roumare forest without anyone dare steal it. At Heuland , there is a cross called Cross of Rollo at which it is claimed he hung jewels and gold bracelets to prove that there was no thief in his duchy . Earl uses the archbishop of Rouen to revive the secular Church and restore the monastic life. The monks of Saint-Ouen in Rouen dare come back with their relics. Standardization religiously remains in its infancy. Rollon he upsets the regional government over its Carolingian predecessors? If he inspires such Scandinavian institutions to reform the new state? The sources at our disposal do not answer. It was not until the successors of Rollo to understand the administration of the young duchy. Viking chief Christian prince or [? alter \| modify the code ] Rollon The installation of Rollo in Rouen not inaugurated the Scandinavian settlement in the current Normandy. It strengthens it. According to Jean Renaud , Danes had already settled at the mouth of the Seine, not counting the regular and independent settlements on the coast of Cotentin . Rollo sharing the land "between his knights and aliens" says Guillaume de Jumièges . Given the place names , the colonists settled near the coast and in Lower Seine. But the country is far from having been deserted by the locals. She had fled the fighting, but once peace is restored and newly installed lords, life returned to normal. After the Treaty of Saint-Clair-sur-Epte , Rollo continued his plundering expeditions or more or less successful attempts of territorial expansion. He also severely with regard to the king's men, as Dudo highlights of Saint-Quentin. The following anecdote is described as legendary by historians, but it marks the rejection of royal interference in the affairs of Rouen. So in 922, two knights are sent by Charles the Simple to ensure the safety of his daughter Gisele, as he had promised to Earl wife of Norman. The two knights are not presented to Rollo and circulate without authorization in the county. When it learns of their existence, it makes capturing, and brings the Place du Vieux Marché in Rouen to decapitate them in the eyes of all. This episode is to Dudo of Saint-Quentin and Guillaume de Jumièges the beginning of the deterioration of relations between the Count and King Charles. When momentary deposition of Charles the Simple, the Rouen Normans remain loyal to him. In accordance with the terms of the treaty, no Scandinavian fleet up the Seine to plunder the Frankish kingdom. But the records indicate us that in 923 , Rollo and his men betrayed their oath 911. According Flodoard, Ragenold , leader of the Vikings of the Loire , convinces his "Rouen compatriots" to lead a company to plunder Beauvais , which they did. The columnist insists the number of captives francs thousand in total, which justified the reaction 924 of Count Herbert II of Vermandois and King Raoul , summoned by Hugh the Great , son of King Robert I , the predecessor of Raoul. These two characters led a punitive expedition on the Normandy County . Rollo react to this affront by pushing his army this time far beyond the Oise. To find a way out, diplomacy took to that time all its importance, and it was the Norman ambassadors who had the last word, because the king was forced to pay a tribute to the Normans . Rollo also received for repair parts of the Bessin and the Hiémois . We must not forget that the population continued to pay the danegeld the count, and that until 926 . According to the Annals of Flodoard, canon of Reims , in 924, the Earl Norman won the Carolingian power and Cinomannis Baiocae ( Le Mans and Bayeux ), that is to say, the county of Maine and Norman . Lucien Musset considers unlikely the concession throughout the county and proposes instead to talk about the region Hiémois. In 925 , Flodoard recounts in his chronicles the journey of Rollo on the Frankish lands, which broke at the same time of peace 924. With his army, he took a position in the county of Flanders ; the cities of Beauvais , of Amiens , of Arras and finally Noyon were looted and burned to turn round. Faced with this incursion, Count Herbert and King Raoul again allied forces to pillage Normandy County. The Rollo army repulsed, but the count was faced with a revolt of the people of Bessin, which certainly refused the new earl guardianship. Frankish repression did not stop as long, since a second assault prepared against the young Normandy. Arnulf I of Flanders seized Bresles , and directed all its forces on the Norman fortress of Eu . Rollo sent reinforcements there that Flodoard estimated thousand. But whatever their number, the Franks were due to the fortress, which fell under their control, and ends up being burned with its occupants. It is thanks to the intervention of Hugh the Great hostilities ceased. The Normans accepted the terms of the agreement and gave the land they had recently conquered. The son of Baldwin II the Bald , Arnulf I of Flanders and Adolphe de Boulogne , took their possessions. Raoul de Gouy and Helgaud Ponthieu did the same. This Norman was not stinging defeat since the Normandy county was amputated no territorial concession. The clashes at the Picardie are placed in a context of collapse of royal power in this region (the Carolingian Charles the Simple was overthrown by Raoul ). Picardy became 920 years from "the land where faced the appetites of the major northern leaders of France "(Earl Normans, Count of Flanders , Duke of the Franks and Count of Vermandois ). With the main issue: the control of the coastal areas of the country. Where conflicts around the fortresses of Eu and Montreuil . The uncertain end of Rollo [ edit \| edit the code ] Lying Rollo (Rollo, in Latin), the cathedral of Rouen . The date and circumstances of the death of the first earl of Normans remain uncertain. According Richer of Reims , Rollo the Walker died in 925 during the siege of the castle of Eu , conducted by Herbert II of Vermandois and Arnulf , Count of Flanders . It is indeed possible, since in 927 , we see his son William Longsword swear allegiance to the Normans. However, Flodoard , in an ambiguous way, implies that Rollo was still living in 928 . Especially, according to Dudo of Saint-Quentin , the first Earl was not killed; he would have abdicated in favor of his son, and then lived another five years . The current historiography generally takes the story, and places the death of Rollo to 932 - 933 . By cons, English historian David Douglas does not believe in this transition period, and instead believes in a death date around 925-927 . According to Ademar of Chabannes , Rollo would have practiced human sacrifices in honor of the pagan gods shortly before his death in 932-933, while donations to Norman churches. This anecdote is doubtful . According to Father Anselm , he was buried in the cathedral of Rouen , and his remains were transferred to the Abbey of Fecamp in the second half of the tenth century , under the principate of Richard Fearless , his grand-son. The recumbent figure of Rollo, located in the south ambulatory of the cathedral, is a copy of the nineteenth century the lying of Henry the Younger . It was installed in its current location in 1956 . Until 1944 , the recumbent figure of Rollo was placed in the small chapel of Saint-Romain (south aisle). Stylistically close of lying to his son, he was dating the same period, third quarter of the fourteenth century , but the original was destroyed . On the base, is an epitaph: "IN.SINU.TEMPLI.ROLLO.QUIESCIT A.SE.VASTATAE.CONDITAE.NORMANNIAE.PATER.AC.PRIMUS.DUX LABORE.QUI.FRACTUS.OCCUBUIT.OCTOGENARIO.MAIOR.AN.CM.XXXIII " (Translation: Within the temple, lies Rollo, father and first Duke of Normandy, founded by him and devastated. At the end of that labor force, he died in 933, aged over 80 years.) Genealogy [ edit \| edit the code ] Main article: Progeny of Rollo . Charles the Simple gives his Gisele daughter Rollo. Ancestry can Rollo. Regarding the ancestry of Rollo, northern sources are more verbose than Norman sources. The Landnámabók or book shares land in Iceland, allows to build the family tree of right. If we follow the story of Dudo of Saint-Quentin, Rollo had a brother, Gurim, who was killed in a battle against the king of the Danes; this before Rollo should leave his homeland. One of its frilla (wife to the Danish way ) was the best known Poppa , daughter franc Count Berenger of Bayeux , killed during the capture of the city by the Vikings of Rollo [ref. required] . After his baptism, Rollo had received an official wife, Gisele, daughter of King Charles the Simple , Carolingian old princess in more than four years, but this is confirmed by no contemporaneous documents . His son William succeeded him around 927. His daughter Gerloc later became the wife of William Head-d'Étoupe , Count of Poitiers and Duke of Aquitaine .

3942	ROYTON, vulgarly called Rayton, is a manor in this parish, situated at a small distance eastward from Chillton, the mansion of which had a free chapel annexed to it, the ruins of which still remain. In the year 1259, anno 44 Henry III. this manor was in the possession of Simon Fitzalan; in which year a final agreement was made in the King's court at Westminster, between Roger, abbot of St. Augustine, and the said Simon, concerning the customs and services which the abbot demanded of him for his free tenement, which he held of him in Royton, viz. one marc of silver yearly, and suit at the court of Lenham, which suit the abbot released to him on his agreeing to pay the rent above-mentioned, and suit at the court of St. Augustine, at Canterbury. His successor was Robert de Royton, who most probably assumed his name from his possessions at this place. He founded a free chapel here, and annexed it to the mansion, which thence acquired the name of Royton chapel. In which name it continued till the reign of king Henry VI. when, by an only daughter and heir, it went in marriage to James Dryland, esq. of Davington, whose daughter and sole heir Constance, having married to Sir Thomas Walsingham, of Chesilhurst, entitled her husband to the possession of it, and he died possessed of it anno 7 Edward IV. (fn. 6) and one of his descendants, in the beginning of the reign of king Henry VIII. alienated this manor to Edward Myllys, who did homage to the abbot of St. Augustine's for it as half a knight's fee, which he had lately purchased in Royton, near Lenham. He bore for his arms, Party per fess, sable and argent, a pale and three bears erect, counterchanged, collared and chained, or, [Pedigree of Darell.] from which name it was not long afterwards sold to Robert Atwater, whose arms were, Sable, a fess wavy, voided azure, between three swans, proper, who leaving two daughters and coheirs, Mary, the youngest of them, carried it, with other estates at Charing and elsewhere in this neighbourhood, to Robert Honywood, esq. of Henewood, in Postling, eldest son of John Honywood, esq. by his second wife, daughter of Barnes, of Wye. He afterwards resided at Pett in Charing, part of his wife's inheritance, and dying in 1576, was buried in Lenham church, bearing for his arms those of Honywood, with a crescent, gules, for difference. He left a numerous issue by his wife, who survived him near forty-four years, and dying in 1620, in the ninety-third year of her age, was buried near him, though a monument is erected to her memory at Markshall, in Essex. She had, as has been said, at her decease, lawfully descended from her 367 children, 16 of her own body, 114 grand-children, 228 in the third generation, and nine in the fourth. Their eldest son Robert Honywood, of Charing, and afterwards of Markshall, in Essex, was twice married; first to Dorothy, daughter of John Crook, LL. D. by whom he had one son, Sir Robert Honywood, of Charing, and a daughter Dorothy, married to Henry Thomson, gent. His second wife was Elizabeth, daughter of Sir Thomas Brown, of Beechworth-castle, in Surry, by whom he had several sons and daughters; the eldest of whom, Thomas, was of Markshall, in Essex, esq. and father of John Le Mott Honywood, esq. of that place. ¶Sir Robert Honywood, on his death, devised the manor of Royton to Dorothy, his daughter by his first wife, married to Mr. Henry Thomson, the second son of Mr. Tho. Thomson, of Sandwich, and younger brother of T. Thomson, esq. of Kenfield, in PeTham, who afterwards resided at Royton, bearing for his arms, Gules, two bars argent, a chief ermine, a crescent for difference. [Vistn. co. Kent, 1619. Pedigree Thomson.] His surviving son Anthony, was of Royton, of which he died possessed in 1682, leaving an only daughter Dorothy, who carried it in marriage to Richard Crispe, gent. of Maidstone, in whose descendants it continued down to William Crispe, gent. of Royton, who died in 1761, and by his will devised it to his surviving wife Elizabeth, for her life; and the fee of it to his nephew Samuel Belcher, who dying unmarried and intestate, his interest in it descended to his only brother Peter Belcher, and he by his will in 1772 devised it to his brother-in-law, Mr. John Foster, in fee. Mrs. Elizabeth Crispe, before-mentioned, died in 1778, and this estate then came into the possession of Mr. John Foster, who afterwards sold it to Thomas Best, esq. of Chilston, on whose death, s. p. in 1793, it came by his will, among his other estates, to his nephew George Best, esq. now of Chilston, the present owner of it.

3947	Ruth Busbridge's grandfather was Charles Horatio Bodeker who was only 1 month old when Heinrich Wilhelm Michel Bodeker died so only knew what his mother told him..... The story goes that Heinrich Wilhelm Michel fled to England after he killed a man "accidently" in a duel. His father was a Count and a merchant and had links with Helgoland. Heinrich Wilhelm Michel had been to University, possibly in Hamburg, and could speak 4 languages. His English was perfect. Ruth has a letter which he wrote to his daughter. She also has some "bits" which she took from a very old Bible. Heinrich Wilhelm Michael Bodeker was buried at Brookwood Cemetery on 30 Aug 1864 - register number 28828 - died at 20 Alfred Place, St George Southwark - aged 48 - F Owston cemetery Anglican Priest officiated and he received a pauper class burial.The agreements with London parishes varied slightly but generally a pauper burial cost the parish about 15 shillings which included coffin transport to the Necropolis station in London, fare for the coffin and one mourner to Brookwood, burial as well as burial service in the cemetery. In an email received from Ruth Busbridge dated September 18, 2004, she states the following: "It would appear that HWM must have changed his name by what you found out from the 1861 cenus, they were still living there in 1863 as I have a receipt of money paid for the funeral of Sarah Hodges."

3950	Saer de Quincy, 1st Earl of Winchester (c. 1155 – 3 November 1219) was one of the leaders of the baronial rebellion against John, King of England, and a major figure in both the kingdoms of Scotland and England in the decades around the turn of the twelfth and thirteenth centuries. Contents 1 Scottish Upbringing 2 Earl of Winchester 3 Magna Carta 4 The Fifth Crusade 5 Family 5.1 Issue 6 References 7 Sources 8 Background reading 9 External links Scottish Upbringing Although he was an Anglo-Norman, Saer de Quincy's father, Robert de Quincy, had married and held important lordships in the Scottish kingdom of his cousin King William the Lion. His mother, Orabilis, was the heiress of the lordship of Leuchars and through her Robert became lord over lands in Fife, Perth and Lothian (see below).[1] Saer's own rise to prominence in England came partly through his marriage to Margaret, the younger sister of Robert de Beaumont, Earl of Leicester.[2] Earl Robert died in 1204, and left Margaret as co-heiress to the vast earldom along with her elder sister. The estate was split in half, and after the final division was ratified in 1207, de Quincy was made Earl of Winchester.[3] Earl of Winchester This section does not cite any sources.

(April 2018) (Learn how and when to remove this template message) Seal of Robert Fitzwalter (d.1235). So close was the alliance between both men that the seal shows the arms of Saer de Quincy (seven mascles 3,3,1) on a separate shield before FitzWalter horse, with FitzWalter's own arms on his own shield and on his horse's caparison. Following his marriage, Winchester became a prominent military and diplomatic figure in England. There is no evidence of any close alliance with King John, however, and his rise to importance was probably due to his newly acquired magnate status and the family connections that underpinned it. Saer seems to have developed a close personal relationship with his cousin, Robert Fitzwalter (died 1235). In 1203, they served as co-commanders of the garrison at the major fortress of Vaudreuil in Normandy. They surrendered the castle without a fight to Philip II of France, fatally weakening the English position in northern France.[4] Although popular opinion seems to have blamed them for the capitulation, a royal writ is extant stating that the castle was surrendered at King John's command, and both Winchester and Fitzwalter endured personal humiliation and heavy ransoms at the hands of the French. In Scotland, he was perhaps more successful. In 1211 to 1212, the Earl of Winchester commanded an imposing retinue of a hundred knights and a hundred serjeants in William the Lion's campaign against the Mac William rebels, a force which some historians have suggested may have been the mercenary force from Brabant lent to the campaign by John.

These differ from his arms used elsewhere but can also be seen in stained glass at Winchester Great Hall. In 1215, when the baronial rebellion broke out, Robert Fitzwalter became the military commander, and the Earl of Winchester joined him, acting as one of the chief authors of Magna Carta and negotiators with John; both cousins were among the 25 guarantors of the Magna Carta.[5] De Quincy fought against John in the troubles that followed the sealing of the Charter, and, again with Fitzwalter, travelled to France to invite Prince Louis of France to take the English throne. He and Fitzwalter were subsequently among the most committed and prominent supporters of Louis's candidature for the kingship, against both John and the infant Henry III.[6] The Fifth Crusade This section needs additional citations for verification.

In 1219 he left to join the Fifth Crusade, then besieging Damietta.[7] While in the east, he fell sick and died. He was buried in Acre, the capital of the Kingdom of Jerusalem, rather than in Egypt, and his heart was brought back and interred at Garendon Abbey near Loughborough, a house endowed by his wife's family.

(April 2018) (Learn how and when to remove this template message) The family of de Quincy had arrived in England after the Norman Conquest, and took their name from Cuinchy in the Arrondissement of Béthune; the personal name "Saer" was used by them over several generations. Both names are variously spelt in primary sources and older modern works, the first name being sometimes rendered Saher or Seer, and the surname as Quency or Quenci. The first recorded Saer de Quincy (known to historians as "Saer I") was lord of the manor of Long Buckby in Northamptonshire in the earlier twelfth century, and second husband of Matilda of St Liz, stepdaughter of King David I of Scotland by Maud of Northumbria. This marriage produced two sons, Saer II and Robert de Quincy. It was Robert, the younger son, who was the father of the Saer de Quincy who eventually became Earl of Winchester. By her first husband Robert Fitz Richard, Matilda was also the paternal grandmother of Earl Saer's close ally, Robert Fitzwalter. Robert de Quincy seems to have inherited no English lands from his father, and pursued a knightly career in Scotland, where he is recorded from around 1160 as a close companion of his cousin, King William the Lion. By 1170 he had married Orabilis, heiress of the Scottish lordship of Leuchars and, through her, he became lord of an extensive complex of estates north of the border which included lands in Fife, Strathearn and Lothian. Saer de Quincy, the son of Robert de Quincy and Orabilis of Leuchars, was raised largely in Scotland. His absence from English records for the first decades of his life has led some modern historians and genealogists to confuse him with his uncle, Saer II, who took part in the rebellion of Henry the Young King in 1173, when the future Earl of Winchester can have been no more than a toddler. Saer II's line ended without direct heirs, and his nephew and namesake would eventually inherit his estate, uniting his primary Scottish holdings with the family's Northamptonshire patrimony, and possibly some lands in France.

Robert (died 1217); before 1206 he married Hawise of Chester, 1st Countess of Lincoln, sister and co-heiress of Randolph de Blondeville, 4th Earl of Chester. Roger, who succeeded his father as earl of Winchester (though he did not take formal possession of the earldom until after his mother's death).[8] Robert de Quincy [de] (second son of that name; died 1257), who married Elen, daughter of the Welsh prince Llywelyn the Great.

He returned to the allegiance of King Henry III in Sep 1217 and his lands were restored to him 29 Sep 1217.

The husband of Hawise of Chester was, according to the Complete Peerage, either Robert son of Robert de Quincy[55] (about whose existence there appears to be no other evidence) or Robert eldest son of Saher de Quincy Earl of Winchester[56]. However, the (undated) charter of Saher Earl of Winchester, relating to the grant of Bukby, Grantesset, Bradcham and Herdwick resolves the matter conclusively as it clearly states that Hawise was the wife of his eldest son Robert[57]. "Seherus de Quency comes Wintonie" donated "totam terram de Duglyn", held by "Nesus filius Willelmi avus meus" to Cambuskenneth priory, with the consent of "Robert filii mei", by undated charter[58].

John of Fordun´s Scotichronicon (Continuator) records the death in 1264 of "Rogerus de Quinci comes Wincestriæ"[82]. An undated writ "48 Hen III", after the death of "Roger de Quency earl of Winchester", records that he died "on the day of St Mark the Evangelist" and names "Henry de Lascy aged 14 on the day of the Epiphany next, is his heir"[83].

Earl Roger's first marriage with the daughter of Alan of Galloway is recorded by Matthew Paris[86]. The Liber Pluscardensis records that the eldest daughter of "Alanus de Galway filius Rotholandi de Galway" married "Rogerus de Quinci comes Wintoniæ"[87]. The identity of Ellen’s mother as her father’s first wife is confirmed by her husband Roger de Quincy holding Kippax (linked to Alan’s first wife as shown above)[88]. Ellen’s birth and marriage dates are estimated from her daughter who married in [1238] having given birth soon after that marriage. "Elena quondam filia Alani de Galeweya" donated "villam de Edeluestune" to the church of Glasgow by undated charter[89]. "Rogerus de Quency constabularius Scocie et Elena uxor eius filia quondam Alani de Galweya" recognised the rights of the church of Glasgow to "villam de Edeluestune" by undated charter[90]. m secondly (before 5 Jun 1250) as her second husband, MATILDA de Bohun, widow of ANSELM Marshal Earl of Pembroke, daughter of HUMPHREY de Bohun Earl of Hereford and Essex & his wife Mathilde de Lusignan (-Groby, Lincolnshire 20 Oct 1252, bur Brackley80).

Her death is recorded by Matthew Paris, who states that she was daughter of the Earl of Hereford but does not give her own name, that she was her husband's second wife[92]. m thirdly (before 5 Dec 1252) as her second husband, ELEANOR Ferrers, widow of WILLIAM de Vaux, daughter of WILLIAM de Ferrers Earl of Derby & his first wife Sibyl Marshal of Pembroke (-before 20 Oct 1274, bur Leeds Priory). The Chronicle of Tintern Abbey, Monmouthshire names "Agnes, secunda Isabella, tertia Matilda, quarta Sibilla, quinta Johanna, sexta Alianora, septima Agatha" as the seven daughters of "Willielmo de Ferrers comiti Derbiæ" and his wife "quarta filia…Willihelmi Marescalli…Sibilla", adding that "Alianora sexta filia" was "comitissa de Wintonia" and died childless[93].

Her second marriage is confirmed by the Annals of Ireland which record that “Sibilla comitissa de Ferreys” had seven daughters (in order) “quinta, Elianora de Varis, quæ fuit uxor comitis Wintonie…”[95]. Matthew Paris records her husband's remarriage soon after the death of his second wife, but does not name his third wife[96].

Earl Roger & his first wife had three children: a) MARGARET de Quincy ([before 1223]-before 12 Mar 1281). The Annales Londonienses name "Margarete countesse de Ferreres et Eleyne la Zusche et la countesse de Bougham" as the three daughters of "Eleyn countesse de Wynton"[99]. A charter dated 3 Dec 1274 records the homage of "Margaret de Ferariis countess of Derby, eldest daughter and one of the heirs of Roger de Quency earl of Wynton" for her part of the lands "lately held in dower by Alianora de Vaux late countess of Wynton widow of the said Roger"[100].

The Annales Londonienses name "Margarete countesse de Ferreres et Eleyne la Zusche et la countesse de Bougham" as the three daughters of "Eleyn countesse de Wynton", naming "Roger la Zusche" as son of "Eleyne la Zusche" and "de Roger, Aleyn"[102]. A charter dated 3 Dec 1274 records the homage of "Elena la Zusche another daughter and heir of Roger [de Quency earl of Wynton]" for her part of the lands "lately held in dower by Alianora de Vaux late countess of Wynton widow of the said Roger"[103].

HAWISE ([1200/12]-3 Feb after 1263, bur Earl's Colne). "Margaret countess of Winchester" made a fine for the marriage of "Hawise her daughter…to Hugh, son and heir of R. de Vere, formerly earl of Oxford", dated [Feb] 1223[107]. Her birth date range is estimated based on her having given birth to her son in [1240], although it seems unlikely that she would have been much older than her husband. The Pipe Roll 1223 records “Margareta comitissa Wint” owing “ut Hawisia filia sua maritetur Hugoni f. et heredi R. de Veer comitis Oxon” in Essex/Hertfordshire[108]. m (after 11 Feb 1223) HUGH de Vere Earl of Oxford, son of ROBERT de Vere Earl of Oxford & his wife Isabel de Bolebec ([1210]-before 23 Dec 1263, bur Earl's Colne). 4. LORETA . The Complete Peerage names “Lorette m William de Valoynes of Panmure, co. Forfar, chamberlain of Scotland” as sister of Roger de Quincy Earl of Winchester but does not cite the corresponding source[109]. The primary source which confirms her parentage and marriage has not yet been identified. m WILLIAM de Valoignes of Panmure, co. Forfar, Chamberlain of Scotland, son of PHILIP de Valoignes & his first wife --- (-1219). 5. [--- de Quincy . Her parentage and marriage are suggested by the order dated 3 Feb 1223 under which King Henry III delivered "to Roger de Quency...the ward of the land of Sibilla de Valeines in Torpenno...the custody of which pertains to Roger by reason of Eustace de Stuteville, son and heir of said Sibilla, being in ward of Roger”[110]. Roger de Quincy Earl of Winchester was the brother of Loreta, wife of William de Valoignes (see above), who was the older brother of Sibylla. However, that relationship would not have justified Roger’s wardship of Sibylla’s minor son after she died. Many examples have been noted of a father marrying, as his second wife, the sister of the wife of his son and this may be another such case. m as his second wife, PHILIP de Valoignes, son of son of ROGER de Valognes & his wife Agnes --- (-5 Nov 1215, bur Melrose Abbey).] 6. ROBERT ([1217/19]-Aug 1257). The Complete Peerage names him as younger brother of Roger de Quincy Earl of Winchester but does not cite the corresponding source[111]. The primary source which confirms his parentage has not yet been identified. He is named “Roberto [de Quinci]” in the Annals of Dunstable when recording his marriage[112]. His birth date range is suggested on the assumption that he was born after the death of his older brother also called Robert, although his mother would have been over 45 years old at the time. m (1237 before 5 Dec) as her second husband, HELEN of Wales, widow of JOHN "the Scot" Earl of Huntingdon and Chester, daughter of LLYWELLYN ap Iorwerth Fawr ("the Great") Prince of Wales & his second/third wife Joan [illegitimate daughter of John King of England] (-1253 before 24 Oct). The Annals of Dunstable record that “Johannes comes Cestriæ” died in 1237 and “eius uxor…filia Lewelini” married “Roberto [de Quinci]” against her father´s wishes[113]. A writ after the death of "Eleanor, sometime the wife of John Earl of Chester", dated "the eve of St Martin 38 Hen III", records the "partition of her lands between Si J. de Bayllol, Robert de Brus, and Henry de Hasting, the heirs of the said earl"[114]. Robert & his wife had three children: a) ANNE . The primary source which confirms her parentage has not yet been identified. A nun. b) JOAN de Quincy (-25 Nov 1284). An undated writ "48 Hen III", after the death of "Roger de Quency earl of Winchester", records that "Joan, wife of Humphrey de Boum the younger of full age, and Hawis, within age, daughters of the late Robert de Quency" were his heirs in the manor of "Styventon alias Steventon [Bedford]"[115]. A writ dated 15 Dec "12 Edw I", after the death of "Joan late the wife of Humphrey de Boun alias de Bohun", records that she died "on Thursday the feast of St Katherine 12 Edw I" and that "Hawis her sister, late the wife of Baldwin Wake, is her next heir and of full age"[116]. m as his second wife, HUMPHREY [VI] de Bohun, son of HUMPHREY [V] de Bohun Earl of Hereford and Essex & his first wife Maud de Lusignan (-Beeston Castle, Cheshire 27 Oct 1265, bur Combermere Abbey). c) HAWISE ([1250]-before 27 Mar 1285).

JOHN . He is named in the Brackley charters[119]. His position in the order of birth of his siblings is unknown, but he may have been older than his brother Robert (the younger) if the speculation about the latter's date of birth (see above) is correct. 8. ORABILIS . A manuscript relating to Ranton Priory, Staffordshire records that “Ricardo de Harecourt” married “Orabillam sororem Rogeri de Quinci”, and lists their descendants[120]. m RICHARD [I] de Harcourt, son of WILLIAM [I] de Harcourt & his wife Alice Noel.
