1005545240. Baldwin WAKE Lord Of Bourne, Sir ⁴¹⁵ ^,673 ^,674 ^,675 was born about 1180 in Bourne, Lincoln, Lincolnshire, England ^⁶⁷³ and died before 20 July 1213 in Gascony, France (Killed By Crossbow While Besieging A Caslte) ^{⁵¹⁶^,673^,675}.

General Notes: Baldwin Wake; feudal Lord of Bourne; apparently imprisoned by King John 1207; pardoned by 1210 and regranted his English lands, retaining also his Guernsey ones but losing his Norman ones (his efforts to retain which by currying favour with the French probably occasioning his quarrel with John) following the overrunning of John's territory in Normandy by the French 1206; married Isabel (died in or after 1224), eventual coheiress of estates that included the Manor of Blisworth, Northants which remained with the Wakes till Henry VIII's reign, widow of Foubert de Douvres and daughter of William Briwere, Sheriff of Bucks, Berks, Derbys, Devon, Nottingham and Oxon, and was allegedly killed by a crossbow bolt before 20 July 1213 while besieging a castle in Gascony. [Burke's Peerage]

---------------------------------------

BALDWIN WAKE, son and heir, made fine in 1201, together with his grandfather William du Hommet, for possession of his lands in England and Normandy, promising not to marry without the King's consent. In August 1204 he was allowed to have his English lands if he gave 4 hostages to Crown representatives; but in 1207 he came into conflict with the King, being forced to choose between England and Normandy. His lands were seized in March 1206/7 and he was ordered to leave the realm, but he seems to have been imprisoned in June following. It is not known when he was restored to royal favour but at Michaelmas 1210 he appears among the witnesses of a charter.

He married Isabel, widow of Foubert DE DOUVRES (a), daughter of William BRIWERRE, by his wife Beatrice. He died before 20 July 1213. Isabel was living, 1224, but died before 10 June 1233. [Complete Peerage XII/2:297-8, (transcribed by Dave Utzinger)]

(a) G. A. Moriarty, "The First House of De Douvres or De Chilham," in The New England Hist. and Geneal. Reg., vol cv, pp. 39-40. It was formerly believed that the family to which Foubert belonged took its name from Dover, but Round suggested that the name was derived from Douvres in the Bessin and the evidence which he adduced seems to be convincing.

Baldwin married Isabel De BRIWERE ⁵¹⁶ ^,673 ^,676 after 1205 in 2ND Husband ⁵⁸².^,673 Isabel was born about 1180 in Stoke, Devonshire, England and died before 10 June 1233 ^{⁶⁷³^,676}.

Married Dervorguilla, da. of Roland of Galloway, who brought an interest in Whissendine, Rutland to the family in frank marriage. Nicholas died shortly before 19 October 1233 at the priory of St Andrew, York.

Issue

On the death of her cousin Eustace de Stuteville in 1241, and having outlived her sister, she was sole heir to the Stuteville inheritance comprising Cottingham, Buttercrambe and Kirby Moorside (combined annual value of L660 p.a. in 1282) and the honours of Liddell Strength and Rosedale. Hugh Wake died on crusade in 1241 and on 2 Jan 1242 the king granted to Joan his widow the custody of all the lands to hold until the lawful age of the heirs, together with their marriage and licence to marry at pleasure, for a fine of 10,000 marks. Before Michaelmas 1244 she married Hugh Bigod, Chief Justiciar of England, by whom she was the mother of Roger Bigod who succeeded as earl of Norfolk in 1270. Joan died shortly before 6 April 1276, her heir being her son Sir Baldwin Wake. By Hugh Wake, Joan also had Nicholas, Hugh and possibly Isabel.

The Magna Charta Sureties states that Roger is the son of John de Somery and Hawise de Paynell. However Ancestral Roots has John and Hawise as grandparents with a generation "27a" (obviously a later addition to the original numbering for line 55) indicating Ralph de Somery and Margaret Marshal. I believe that Ancestral Roots has the latest and correct information.

Humphrey de Bohun, father of Alice, granted the manors of Newton Toney and East Coulston as part of the marriage settlement with reversion to his heirs if she died without heirs. As Roger V de Toeni gave the same manors to his re-married mother, Petronilla, wife of William de St. Omer, in return for other lands she previously was holding in dower (document dated between 1256 and 1264), it is evident that Alice died leaving children. He married 2nd before 1255 Isabel, living 1264/5. After Roger's death in 1264 custody of his heirs was granted to Earl Humphrey de Bohun (father of Alice). [Magna Charta Sureties]

------------------------------

ROGER DE TOENI V, 2nd but 1st surviving son and heir, was born Michaelmas 1235. His marriage and the custody of his lands were granted to Queen Eleanor during his minority, 26 April 1242; and he did homage therefor between 1 and 15 October 1256, being then of full age. On 15 October also the Earl of Hereford and Essex was ordered to deliver Painscastle to Roger, who held it in chief by knight's service. He had licence for life, 8 December 1256, to hunt with his own dogs the hare, fox, cat and badger in cos. Southampton, Somerset, Dorset and Wilts; was summoned to join the Earl of Hereford in defence of the Welsh marches between Montgomery and Gloucester, July, and had gone to Wales with Edward, the King's son, before 22 October 1257; was among those summoned to meet the King in London with all the service they owed, April 1260; had a protection, crossing with the Queen beyond seas, 1 July 1262; and was summoned to be at Hereford, February 1262/3, for action against Llewellyn. He was living, 10 June 1263, and is said to have supported the King in the Barons' War, but was dead before the battle of Lewes (14 May 1264).

He married,(h) before 1255, Isabel. He died before 12 May 1264, when Isabel's marriage was granted to Edmund, the King's son. She was living, February 1264/5. [Complete Peerage XII/1:771-2, (transcribed by Dave Utzinger)]

[h] A contract of marriage between Roger, then aged 3, and Alice, daughter of Humphrey de Bohun, Earl of Hereford and Essex, was confirmed by the King, 30 June 1239. According to the Fundatorum Progenies of Llanthony this marriage did take place and Alice was buried in the chapter house of Llanthony Priory outside Gloucester. However, nothing more is known of Alice and, as stated above, Roger's marriage was granted to the Queen, 26 April 1242.

In fact, Alice clearly did marry Roger, and was the mother of his son and heir, Ralph, as shown by the evidence below. The date of "before 1255" for Roger's marriage to Isabel, which is based on the belief that she was Ralph's mother, is therefore also incorrect.

The marriage contract referred to above is printed in The Beauchamp Cartulary Charters 1100-1268, ed E. Mason, p.214 (1980), together with a grant by Humphrey de Bohun to Roger de Tosny, of the manors of Newton (Tony) and (East) Coulston, Wiltshire, in marriage with his daughter Alice (p.216). The manors were given in free marriage to be held by Roger and his heirs by Alice, and were to revert to Humphrey if Alice died without issue. This grant is dated by Mason to probably c.1251, when Roger reached the age of 14.

The previous grant to Queen Eleanor on 26 April 1242, referred to by Complete Peerage, was in fact a grant of the lands only, not of the marriage and lands [Cal. Patent Rolls, 1232-47, p.283]; it is referred to again as a grant of the lands in a subsequent grant of scutage to Queen Eleanor, on 3 May [Cal. Close Rolls, 1237-42, p.422]. (A later order, dated 12 February 1243/4, does refer to the lands and the marriage of the heir having been granted to the queen, but this is presumably an error [Cal. Close Rolls, 1242-47, p.158].)

The manor of Newton Tony descended to Roger's son Ralph (d.1295) and then to his son Robert [Victoria County History, Wiltshire, vol.15, p.146]. East Coulston passed to Walter de Beauchamp, who married Roger's daughter Alice, and later to their descendants [Victoria County History, Wiltshire, vol.8, p.235].

[Burke's Peerage]

-----------------------------------------------------

EARLDOM of ARUNDEL (IX, 6?) 1243 (title not recognized at the time)

JOHN FITZ ALAN, feudal Lord of Clun and Oswestry, Salop, son and heir of JOHN FITZ ALAN of the same, by his 1st wife, Isabel, 2nd sister and, in her issue, coheir of Hugh, and daughter of William (D'AUBIGNY), Earls of Sussex, &c, succeeded his father (whom his mother had predeceased) in 1240. To him, by writ dated 27 November 1243, was awarded [in right of his deceased mother] the Castle and Honour of Arundel, whereby [according to the admission of 1443] he must be regarded as de jure Earl of Arundel. He obtained possession, 26 May 1244, of his paternal estates in Salop on payment of £1,000. By the title, however, of Earl of Arundel he never appears to have been known [either in his lifetime or afterwards], although he lived 24 years after the acquisition of that Castle and Honour. In an award dated Friday after the Circumcision 1258, he is expressly called Dominus de Arundel [i.e. Lord of the Honour of Arundel], and in the Fine Roll, 10 March 1261/2, he is called Baro noster, while in his IPM he is described [merely] as Johannes filius Alani, and the endorsement says that he held a quarter of the Earldom of Arundel. He took part in the Welsh war in 1258, and, though sometimes leagued with the Barons against the Crown, was, while fighting on the Royal side, taken prisoner at the Battle of Lewes, in 1264, together with the King.

He married Maud, daughter of Theobald Le Botiller, by his 2nd wife, Rohese, daughter and heir of Nicholas De Verdun, of Alton, co. Stafford. He died 1267, before 10 November. Will dated October 1267. His widow married Richard d'Amundeville, and died 27 November 1283. [Complete Peerage I:239-40, XIV:38, (transcribed by Dave Utzinger)]

-----------------------------------------------------

John Fitz-Alan, in the 28th Henry III [1244], upon the division made of the property of Hugh Albini, Earl of Arundel, then made, had the castle of Arundel assigned to him for his principal seat, thus becoming 5th Earl of Arundel; and soon after that, in consideration of £1,000 fine, had livery of his own castles of Clun, Blancminster and Schrawurthen. In the 42nd Henry III [1258], his lordship was made captain-general of all the forces designed for guarding the Welsh marches, and in the baronial war, he appears first to have sided with the barons, and afterwards with the king. He d. 1267, having m. Maud, dau. of Roesia de Verdun (which lady m. 2ndly Richard de Amundevill), by whom he had a son and successor, John Fitz-Alan.

General Notes: ROGER DE MORTIMER, son and heir, a minor at his father's death, is said to have been born at his father's castle of Cwmaron. He had livery of his inheritance 26 February 1246/7; and at Whitsuntide 1253 was made a knight by the King at Winchester. He was serving in Gascony in 1253, and 1254, and from 1255 to 1264 was chiefly occupied with his duties on the March, opposing the successes of his cousin Llewelyn ap Griffith, who was gradually uniting all the Welsh chieftains under his leadership. In the disputes between the King and the Barons in 1258, Mortimer at first took the Barons' side, and was one of the twelve chosen by them to act with twelve chosen by the King, and one of the twenty-four appointed to treat about an aid for the King. In October 1258 he attested the King's proclamation for the observance of the Provisions of Oxford, and in Apr. 1259 was sworn of the King's Council. The "Provisions" drawn up by the Barons in that year directed that Roger de Mortimer and Philip Basset should accompany the justiciar. On 11 June of that year he was appointed one of the commissioners to demand satisfaction from Llewelyn for breaches of the truce, which on 25 June was prolonged for one year. He was present at the confirmation of the treaty with France, 21 July 1259. On 19 May 1260 the Council of Magnates appointed him constable of Hereford Castle. On 17 July following he arrived in London to attend a Council, and on that day Llewelyn's men took Builth Castle, of which Mortimer had custody for Prince Edward. In December 1260 he had a licence to take game and to fish along the Thames and its tributaries. In December 1261 he was commanded to send his seal, if he were unable to come in person, to have it affixed to the writing made of peace between the King and the Barons. The whole of the years 1262 and 1263 he spent in fighting Llewelyn with varying success. On 3 December 1263 he was one of the armed nobles with the King when Henry demanded, and was refused, entry to Dover Castle; and in January following attested, on the King's side, the submission of the quarrel between Henry and the Barons to Louis, King of France. On 6 April 1264 he was with the King at the taking of Northampton, and captured a number of prisoners; and in May was with the King at Lewes, but fled from the field to Pevensey. He and others who had fled were allowed to return home, giving hostages that they would come to Parliament, when summoned, and stand trial by their peers. Mortimer and the other Lords Marchers did not attend Montfort's "Parliament" at Midsummer 1264, but were constrained to make peace with him in August. In September Mortimer, as constable of Cardigan, was ordered to give up the castle to Guy de Brien, Montfort's nominee. The Marchers again broke the truce, but before Christmas Montfort and Llewelyn finally reduced them to submission. Soon afterwards Roger and the others were banished to Ireland for a year, but did not go; and in December he had safe conduct to see the King and Prince Edward, who was at Kenilworth. In June 1265 he was among the "rebels holding certain towns and castles throughout the land, and raising new wars." Later in the same month he contrived the plan, and furnished the swift horse, by means of which Prince Edward escaped from Hereford Castle and came to Wigmore, where he and Roger de Clifford rode out to meet him and drove off his pursuers. At Evesham, on 4 August 1265, Mortimer commanded the rearguard; and after Montfort's death his head was sent to Mortimer's wife at Wigmore. Mortimer was liberally rewarded, receiving, among other grants, the "county and honour" of Oxford with lands forfeited by Robert de Vere. In September 1265 he was at the Parliament at Winchester. From Easter 1266 to Michaelmas 1267 he was sheriff of Hereford. On 4 May 1266 he, with Edmund the King's son, and others, was given power to repress the King's enemies; but on 15 May he was heavily defeated by the Welsh at Brecknock, escaping only with difficulty. He took part in the siege of Kenilworth in June 1266. In February 1266/7 he quarrelled with Gloucester over the treatment of the "disinherited," whom Gloucester favoured. He was present at the Council at Westminster, 12 February 1269/70. Shortly before Prince Edward sailed for the Holy Land, in August 1270, he was made one of the trustees for the Prince's estates during his absence on the Crusade. On 12 September 1271 he was summoned to "Parliament" at Westminster. In December 1272 he put down a threatened rising in the North, and the following February was sent to Chester to inquire into complaints against Reynold de Grey, justice there. In 1274 and 1275 he sat as a justice. He was one of the magnates having large interests in Ireland present in Parliament at Westminster, 19 May 1275, who granted the same export duties on wool and hides in their ports in Ireland as had been granted by the lords in England. In October following he was chief assessor of a subsidy in Salop and Staffs. On 12 November 1276 he was one of the magnates at Westminster who gave judgment against Llewelyn; four days later was appointed "captain" of Salop and cos. Stafford and Hereford and the Marches against the Welsh prince. In 1279 he held a splendid tournament at Kenilworth. On 27 October 1282 the King ordered, "as a special favour which has never been granted before," that if Roger should die during his present illness, the executors of his will should not be impeded by reason of his debts to the Exchequer.

He married, in 1247, Maud, eldest daughter and coheir of William DE BRAOSE, by Eve, sister and coheir of Walter (MARSHAL), EARL OF PEMBROKE, Marshal of England, daughter of William, 4th Earl of Pembroke, Marshal of England. He died shortly before 30 October 1282, at Kingsland, co. Hereford, and was buried at Wigmore, being aged about 50, and in harness to the end. His widow Maud had various instructions during the Welsh wars, as had other barons of the March. In 1292 she had protection, as staying in Wales on the King's service. She died shortly before 23 March 1300/ 1, when the writ to the escheator issued (c). [Complete Peerage IX:276-81, XIV:488, (transcribed by Dave Utzinger)]

(c) In 1303 a further inq. was taken on the lands of Roger and Maud. They had issue male: Ralph, the eldest son, dvp.; Edmund, the 2nd son, succeeded his father; Roger "of Chirk" called erroneously, son and heir of Dame Maud de Mortimer in 1270; William (who was hostage for his father in Aug 1264) m. Hawise, daughter and heir of Robert de Muscegros, and dsp. shortly before June 1297. In 1300 Hawise had licence to m. John, son of Robert de Ferrers. Roger and Maud had daughters Margaret, who was to m. Robert de Vere, and Isabel, m. John FitzAlan.

-----------------------

Roger de Mortimer, who, in the 31st Henry III [1247], paying 2000 marks to the king, had livery of all his lands excepting those whereof Gladuse, his mother then surviving, was endowed. In six years afterwards he attended the king in his expedition into Gascony and in a few years subsequently, when Lewelin, Prince of Wales, began again to make incursions upon the marches, received command to assist Humphrey de Bohun, Earl of Hereford, in the defence of the country lying between Montgomery and the lands of the Earl of Gloucester. In the 42nd of the same reign [1258] he had another military summons to march with the king against the Welsh, and, being in that service, had a special discharge of his scutage for those twenty-six knights.' fees and a sixth part which he held in right of Maud, his wife, one of the daus. and co-heirs of William de Braose, of Brecknock. In the two years afterwards, he was made captain-general of all the king's forces in Wales, all the barons marchers receiving command to be attendant on him with their whole strength, and he was the same year constituted governor of the castle of Hereford. But notwithstanding this extensive power and those great resources, he was eventually worsted by Lewelin and constrained to sue of permission to depart, which the Welsh prince, owing to his consanguinity, conceded. After this he took an active part in the contest between Henry III and the insurrectionary barons in favour of the former. He was at the battle of Lewes, when he fled into Wales and afterwards successfully planned the escape of Prince Edward. The exploit is thus detailed by Dugdale: "Seeing therefore his sovereign in this great distress, and nothing but ruine and misery attending himself and all other the king's loyal subjects, he took no rest till he had contrived some way for their deliverance; and to that end sent a swift horse for the prince, then prisoner with the king in the castle of Hereford, with intimation that he should obtain leave to ride out for recreation into a place called Windmersh; and that upon sight of a person mounted on a white horse at the foot of Tulington Hill, and waving his bonnet (which was the Lord of Croft, as it was said), he should hasten towards him with all possible speed, which being accordingly done (though all the country thereabouts were thither called to prevent his escape), setting spurs to that horse he overwent them all. Moreover that being come to the park of Tulington, this Roger met him with five hundred armed men, and seeing many to pursue, chased them back to the gates of Hereford, making great slaughter amongst them." Having thus accomplished his prince's freedom, Mortimer, directing all his energies to the embodying a sufficient force to meet the enemy, soon placed Prince Edward in a situation to fight and win the great battle of Evesham (4 August, 1265), by which the king was restored to his freedom and his crown. In this celebrated conflict Mortimer commanded the third division of the royal army and, for his faithful services, obtained, in the October following, a grant of the whole earldom and honour of Oxford, at that time and by that treason forfeited. The Dictum of Kenilworth followed soon after the victory of Evesham, by which the defeated barons were suffered to regain their lands upon the payment of a stipulated fine, but this arrangement is said to have caused great irritation amongst the barons marchers, (Mortimer with the rest), who had acquired grants of those estates. He was, however, subsequently entrusted by the crown with the castle of Hereford, which he had orders to fortify, and was appointed sheriff of Herefordshire. After the accession of Edward I [1272], he continued to enjoy the sunshine of royal favour and had other valuable grants from the crown.

He m., as already stated, Maud, dau. and co-heir of William de Braose, of Brecknock, and had, with other issue, three sons, Edmund, William, and Geffrey, upon whom, having procured the honour of knighthood to be conferred by King Edward I, he caused a tournament to be held at his own cost at Kenilworth where he sumptuously entertained an hundred knights and as many ladies for three days, the like whereof was never before known in England, and there began the round table, so called from the place wherein they practised those feats, which was encompassed by a strong wall in a circular form. Upon the 4th day the golden lion, in token of triumph, having been yielded to him, he carried it (with all that company) to Warwick, the fame whereof being spread into foreign countries occasioned the Queen of Navarre to send him certain wooden bottles bound with golden bars and wax, under the pretence of wine, but in truth filled with gold, which, for many ages after, were preserved in the Abbey of Wigmore, whereupon for the love of that queen, he had added a carbuncle to his arms.

By his wife he had several sons, whereof Ralph (Sir), d. v. p; Edmund (Sir), was his successor; Roger was Lord of Chirke, which lordship his grandson sold to Richard Fitz-Alan, Earl of Arundel; William (Sir), an eminent soldier who m.

EARLDOM OF WILTSHIRE (III)

EARLDOM OF SALISBURY (II)

WILLIAM (of SALISBURY, styled also FITZPATRICK), EARL OF WILTSHIRE, styled always EARL OF SALISBURY, son and heir by 2nd wife, received the 3rd penny of Wilts in 1168. He remained loyal during the rebellion of the King's sons, 1173-74. In 1177 the Earl was one of those for whom the King provided a ship, for the crossing to Normandy in his train. He was sheriff of Wilts 1189-90 and 1191-96. At Richard's Coronation, 3 September 1189, he bore the sceptre with the dove; and he appears to have been in close attendance upon the King until he left Dover for Normandy, 12 December. In 1190-91 he served personally in Wales. From Lent to the Close of Easter 1194 he was sheriff of Dorset and Somerset. On Richard's return from captivity, he attended the Great Council at Nottingham in March, and at the King's 2nd Coronation at Winchester, 17 April, he was one of the 4 earls carrying the canopy. In the summer of 1194 he was fighting in Normandy.

He married Eleanor, widow of Gilbert CRESPIN, lord of TILLIÈRES (died on crusade, 1190), relict of William PAYNEL of Hambye (died 1184), and daughter of Robert DE VITRÉ, by Emma, daughter of Alan DE DINAN. He died (? in Normandy) 1196, and was buried at Bradenstoke. His widow married, 4thly, Gilbert DE MALESMAINS, who in 1198, and later, was holding in her right both her inheritance and her dower. In 1205 he appears to have adhered to France, while the Countess was permitted peaceful enjoyment of her lands in England. She died between 31 May 1232 and 12 August 1233, and was buried in the Abbey of Mondaye, near Bayeux, of which she was a benefactress. [Complete Peerage XI:378-9, (transcribed by Dave Utzinger)]

The following is excerpted from a post to SGM, 14 Aug 2002, by Rosie Bevan:

Subject: Re: Eleanor de Vitre
Newsgroups: soc.genealogy.medieval
Date: 2002-08-14 19:21:07 PST

. . . William Paynel and Eleanor his wife gave their moiety of the church of Ryes to the abbey of Longues in the Bessin [Their gift was confirmed by Henry II, 1185-89 - Delisle and Berger, Recueil des Actes de Henri II, ii, no. 757]. Eleanor married secondly, Gilbert de Tillieres who died in the Holy Land in 1190, leaving issue; thirdly William of Salisbury who died in 1196, leaving an only daughter; and fourthly Gilbert Malmains; she died 1231-33 and was buried in the abbey of Mondaye near Bayeux [Rot. Scacc. Norm. ii, p. xlivn where there is a long note on Eleanor and her connections. See also F.M.Powicke, Loss of Normandy, p.516.]" . . .

Eleanor de Vitre had a son and two daughters by Gilbert de Tillieres - Gilbert VI, who died s.p., Juliana and Joan. Juliana married Baldwin Rastel and became Lady of Tillieres on her brother's death. Juliane left a daughter Hilaria who was married to Sir James de Bovelingham who became lord of Tillieres in her right. They appear not to have issue. Eleanor de Vitry made a donation for her daughter Juliana's soul at the abbey of St Martin at Mondaye. Joan, the younger daughter, married Thomas Malmains (Eleanor de Vitre's stepson by her fourth husband). King John granted the manor of Burton Latimer to Thomas Malmains in the right of Joan his wife on 29 Aug 1216 [Rot. Pat. ed. T.D Hardy 1835 p.195 ; M. Jackson Crispin, Falaise Roll, p.188 ; VCH Northants, v.3, p.181/182.]

Below is a reconstruction of Eleanor's immediate descendants

1.Eleanor de Vitre b.c.1165 d.1231/33
+ 1.William Paynel d.1184
........2. William Paynel c1181-1188 s.p.
+ 2.Gilbert V de Tillieres b. c 1185 d.1190
........2.Gilbert VI de Tillieres d.s.p.1222
........+..da. of Phillipe, Lord of Creully
........2. Juliana, Lady of Tillieres b.c 1187
........+ Baldwin de Rastel d. by 1227
................3. Hilaria, Lady of Tillieres d. by. 1247 d.s.p.?
................+ Sir James de Bovelingham d. by 1247
........2. Joan de Tillieres b. c. 1189 d.1221
........+ Thomas Malmains (stepson of Eleanor de Vitre) d.1219
................3. Nicholas Malmains b.1204 d. by 1240
................+ Beatrice
........................4. Ela Malmains
........................+ Robert de Plessy
................3. Hilaria Malmains (had lands in Burton Latimer, Northants. as a marriage portion. These had been originally granted to Alan de Dinant by Henry I)
................+ Walter de Godardville
+ 3. William, earl of Salisbury d.1196
........2. Ela, Countess of Salisbury d.1261 Had issue
........+ William Longespee d.1226
+ 4. Gilbert Malmains d.1217

The fact that Eleanor's marital life is so well documented and her families are so intertwined, leads me to believe that the charter relating to the gift of Canford church to Bradenstoke priory must be an amended copy. This is because the gift was confirmed by Henry II before his death in 1189 at a time when Eleanor was still married to Gilbert de Tillieres. It is possible the original charter of gift mentioned the soul of William's countess without actually naming her, and the monk rewriting/copying the charter obligingly inserted the name of Ela's mother. This may indicate, as we might expect, that William earl of Salisbury had a previous wife/wives. It also makes one wonder how many other Bradenstoke charters were reinvented.....

General Notes:
Gwenwynwyn was the last major ruler of south Wales before the completion of the Norman Conquest. He was a grandson of Owain Gwynedd and ruled southern Powys from 1195, having taken control following the death of the previous ruler.

His possession of a portion of Powys brought him into conflict with Llywelyn the Great, ruler of Gwynedd, who was keen to extend his own jurisdiction over the whole of Wales. King John favoured Gwenwynwyn until a marriage alliance was made between Llywelyn and John's illegitimate daughter. The two native princes then kept their distance until 1208. As a result of Gwenwynwyn's activities, John confiscated his lands and allowed Llywelyn to steal Ceredigion and Powys. Gwenwynwyn did not get his territory back for two years, but his resentment towards the English led him into an alliance with Llywelyn, which lasted from 1212 until 1216, when John restored some of Gwenwynwyn's property and the two princes fell out again. Llywelyn invaded Powys, and Gwenwynwyn is believed to have died or been killed that same year.

General Notes:
Named in the Magna Charta. Natural son of Henry II. [Ped. of Charlemagne]

Illegitimate son of Henry II by Ida, later wife of Roger Bigod, 2nd Earl of Norfolk; m. Ela, Countess of Salisbury; father of Sir William Longespee and Stephen Longespee. [The Royal Descents of 500 Immigrants, pp. 345, 348, 354]

Earl of Salisbury; named in the Magna Charta, 1215; natural son of King Henry II; m. 1198 Ela, Countess of Salisbury; father of Ida de Longespee and Sir William Longespee. [Magna Charta Sureties, p. 151]

In right of his wife Ela, he was Earl of Salisbury; Sheriff of Wiltshire; 5 Feb 1191 King Richard released Kirton Manor, Lindsey to him; May 1213 he was at the Battle of Damme where he with 500 ships and Flemish allies destroyed the French fleet; 27 July 1214 he was at the Battle of Bouvines where he was clubbed from his horse and taken prisoner by Bishop Beauvais, later released; supported King John at Runnymead; Henry III made him sheriff of London; from 1222, during Henry III's minority, he served with Hubert de Burgh; led troups in Welsh marches; in 1225 in diplomatic mision in Gascony; m.c. 1196 Ela/Isabella.

At the Battle of Lincoln, Robert de Ropsley broke his lance against the Earl of Salisbury but the Marshal dealt him such a blow between the shoulders that he almost unseated him. Robert let himself slide from his horse and went off to hide. [Lincoln Castle, p. 39]

William Longespée, earl of Salisbury, raised £374 for immediate repairs to Lincoln Castle following the battle there on 20 May 1217 and a marriage was arranged between his son William and Idonea, granddaughter of Nicholaa de la Haye. [Lincoln Castle, p. 41]

William Longespee became Earl of Salisbury in right of his wife. In the beginning of King John's reign this nobleman was sheriff of Wiltshire, he was afterwards warden of the marches of Wales, and then sheriff of the counties of Cambridge and Huntingdon. About this period (14th John ) [1213], the baronial contest commencing, William Longespee at once espoused the royal cause and maintained it so stoutly that he was included by the barons amongst the evil councillors of the crown. The next year he was again constituted sheriff of Wilts and he held the office from that time during the remainder of his life. He had also a grant of the honour of Eye, in Suffolk, and was the same year a witness to the agreement made between King John and the barons as guarantee for the former. He was likewise a witness to the charter whereby John resigned his kingdom to the Pope. After this we find him a principal leader in the royal army until the very close of John's reign, when he swerved in his loyalty and joined, for a short period, the ranks of Lewis of France. Upon the accession, however, of Henry III [1216], he did homage to that monarch, particularly for the county of Somerset, which the king then gave him; and joining with William Marshall. governor of the king and kingdom, raised the siege of Lincoln when he was constituted sheriff of Lincolnshire and governor of Lincoln Castle, being invested at the same time with sheriff of the co. of Somerset, and governorship of the castle of Shirburne. His lordship soon afterwards accompanied the Earl of Chester to the Holy Land, and was at the battle of Damieta, in which the crescent triumphed. He served subsequently in the Gascon wars, whence returning to England, Dugdale relates, "there arose so great a tempest at sea that, despairing of life, he threw his money and rich apparel overboard. But when all hopes were passed, they discerned a mighty taper of wax burning bright at the prow of the ship and a beautiful woman standing by it who preserved it from wind and rain so that it gave a clear and bright lustre. Upon sight of which heavenly vision both himself and the mariners concluded of their future security, but everyone there being ignorant what this vision might portend except the earl, he, however, attributed it to the benignity of the blessed virgin by reason that, upon the day when he was honoured with the girdle of knighthood, he brought a taper to her altar to be lighted ever day at mass when the canonical hours used to be sung, and to the intent that, for this terrestrial light, he might enjoy that which is eternal." A rumour, however, reached England of the earls having been lost, and Hubert de Burgh, with the concurrence of the king, provided a suitor for his supposed widow, but the lady, in the interim, having received letters from her husband, rejected the suit with indignation. The earl soon after came to the king at Marlborough and, being received with great joy, he preferred a strong complaint against Hubert de Burgh, adding that, unless the king would do him right therein, he should vindicate himself otherwise to the disturbance of the public peace. Hubert, however, appeased his wrath with rich presents, and invited him to his table, where it is asserted that he was poisoned, for he retired to his castle of Salisbury in extreme illness and died almost immediately after, anno 1226. His lordship left issue, four sons and five daus., viz., William, his successor; Richard, a canon of Salisbury; Stephen, Justiciary of Ireland; Nicholas, bishop of Salisbury; Isabel, m. to William de Vesci; Ela, m. 1st, to Thomas, Earl of Warwick, and 2ndly to Philip Basset, of Hedendon; Idonea, m. to William de Beauchamp, Baron of Bedford; Lora, a nun at Lacock; and Ela, jun., m. to William de Odingsells. [Sir Bernard Burke, Dormant, Abeyant, Forfeited and Extinct Peerages, Burke's Peerage, Ltd., London, England, 1883, p. 167, d'Evereux, Earls of Salisbury]

He was sent on missions to France (1202) and to Germany (1209). In 1213-14 he organized John's Flemish allies, taking part in the destruction (1213) of the French fleet at Damme, then the port of Bruges, and leading the right wing of the allied army at Bouvines (July 27, 1214), where he was captured. He was exchanged and was back in England by May 1215, when he was employed by John in inspecting the defenses of royal castles and fighting the rebels in the southwest.

General Notes:
Earldom of Salisbury: Although William Longespee held the Earldom of Salisbury, albeit in right of his wife, his eldest son and heir Sir William (I) Longespee did not succeed to the dignity. Nor did Sir William's son, Sir William (II) Longespee. The position was complicated by the fact that Ela/Isabel outlived both her son and grandson. Accordingly after her death in 1261, her great-granddaughter, Sir William II's daughter Margaret, came to be regarded by much later writers as de jure Countess of Salisbury, although she was referred to by that title in at least two documents dating from 1311, five years at most after her death. Yet neither Margaret nor her husband Henry de Lacy, Earl of Lincoln, styled themselves Countess/Earl of Salisbury. [Burke's Peeerage, p. 2532]

--------------------------

EARLDOM OF WILTSHIRE (IV)

EARLDOM OF SALISBURY (III)

ELA (or ISABEL), only daughter and heir, born circa 1191, in 1196 was given by Richard I, with the Earldom of SALISBURY, to his bastard brother, WILLIAM LONGESPEE. He was with Richard I in Normandy 1196-98; and was present at John's Coronation, 27 May 1199. Sheriff of Wilts, Midsummer 1199-1202; 1203-1207; 1213 till his death. In 1202 he went on a diplomatic mission to France; in 1203 he was keeper of the castle of Avranches; in 1204, with the Earl Marshal, he escorted Llewelyn to the King at Worcester. Keeper of the castle and honor of Eye, 1205; in which year he led a small band of knights to Rochelle. He was of the escort of William the Lion, King of Scots, to meet John at York, November 1206. In 1208, when the King anticipated the Interdict by several orders regarding monks and clergy who refused to celebrate divine service, those of the diocese of Ely were put under the direction of the Earl of Salisbury. He headed an Embassy in March 1209 to the prelates and princes of Germany, on behalf of the King's nephew Otto; in December he was appointed Keeper of the March of Wales. He attended John on his expedition to Ireland, 1210. From May 1212 to March 1215/6 sheriff of Cambs and Hunts; sometime (certainly in 1212-13, when invasion from France threatened) Keeper of Dover Castle; in Aug. 1212, supervisor of the keeper of the Archbishopric of Canterbury. He was one of the 4 Earls who, at Dover in May 1213, swore that John would observe the terms laid down by the Pope for satisfaction of the bishops, and witnessed his declaration of homage to the Papal See. He was then preparing an expedition, of which he was joint commander, to help the Count of Flanders against France. In June he went overseas again in the same cause, with a credit of over 20,000 marks. In 1214, as Marshal of the King of England, he commanded combined forces which recovered almost all Flanders for the Count; but on 27 July the Earl and the Counts of Flanders and Boulogne were captured at the battle of Bouvines. In May 1215 he was one of the 3 Earls appointed to visit and examine the state of the royal castles, and a messenger from the King to the City of London; and he was at Runnymede in June, on the King's side. Later in the year, with Falkes de Bréauté, the Earl led a punitive expedition into the eastern counties. He remained a zealous loyalist till after mid-June 1216; but, presumably before the end of the month, when Louis had entered Winchester, the Earl surrendered Salisbury Castle to him. He had returned to his allegiance before 7 March 1216/7, when his lands were restored to him. On 14 March he had a grant of Sherborne Castle and the co. of Somerset, and under grants of Somerset and Devon, 14 and 17 August, he served as sheriff of both counties till Michaelmas 1217. At Whitsuntide he marched with the Earl Marshal to the relief of Lincoln. In August he was with Hubert de Burgh in the victory over the French fleet off Thanet, and in September he witnessed the treaty with Louis at Lambeth. He was among the guarantors of the truce with France, March 1219/20. In 1220 he and his Countess laid the 4th and 5th stones at the founding of the new cathedral at New Sarum. He was with the King, October 1223, in the successful expedition against Llewellyn. In 1224 Keeper of the Castles of Bridgnorth and Shrewsbury, accounting as sheriff of Salop and Staffs, Christmas 1223 to Michaelmas 1224. In 1225 he went with the young Earl of Cornwall, as supervisory commander, on a successful expedition to Gascony. He died 7 March 1225/6 in Salisbury Castle, and was buried in the Cathedral. After his death, the Countess, who (according to the Lacock account) was born 1187, did homage for her inheritance, 19 March 1225/6; on the 23rd she was required to surrender Salisbury Castle; the county of Wilts was committed to her during pleasure, 22 January 1226/7. She founded Lacock Abbey, 1229; took the veil there in 1238; was Abbess, 1240-57; died 24 August 1261, and was buried there. [Complete Peerage XI:379-82, (transcribed by Dave Utzinger)]

General Notes:
Henry III was born in 1207 and succeeded his father John on the throne of England in 1216. It was a ravaged inheritance, the scene of civil war and anarchy, and much of the east and south eastern England was under the control of the French Dauphin Louis. But Henry had two great protectors---his liege lord the Pope, and the aged William Marshal.

The Marshal, by a combination of military skill and diplomatic ability, saw off the Dauphin by September, 1217, but less than two years later he was dead, and a triumvirate ruled in his place: the papal legal Pandulf; the Poitevin Bishop of Winchester Peter des Roches; and the Justiciar Hubert de Burgh. The legate departed in 1221; two years later Henry became of age and, rejecting Peter, chose Hubert to be his chief counsellor.

Trouble soon came, as Hubert attempted to re-asert royal authority. Barons, who had kept their castles undistrubed and exercised their powers without supervison, were now called to account to the haughty justiciar, and the party of Peter des Roches did not fail to underline the annoyances involved. The years 1223-4 were taken up with quelling rebellions.

Meanwhile the situation abroad was even more disturbing: the French king Philip Augustus was eating up English lands in Gascony, and Henry's mother Isabella made a bad situation worse by her marriage with Count Hugh of Lusignan. It was only in 1230 that a badly prepared English force set out for France and, after much squabbling, all it was able to do was make a demonstration march through Gascony.

Hubert had already had one dismal failure in Wales in 1228, and his arrogant attempts to build up a personal base in the Marches provoked a Welsh raid in 1231 which did more harm to his good name. Hubert was thrust out of power, to be replaced by Peter des Roches' Poitevins. But by 1234 they had upset the baronage of England, who had never taken kindly to foreigners other than the Normans, and Richard Marshal combined with Edmund of Abington, Archbishop of Canterbury, to force the King to replace them.

Henry now began his period of personal rule, and the world was to see what sort of king he would make. He was a simple, direct man, trustful on first impression, but bearing a life-long grudge when people let him down. At times lavish and life-loving, he could show another side of his nature, that wicked Angevin temper and streak of vindictive cruelty. He had a very refined taste, and enjoyed building and restoration work more than anything else. Surrounded by barons who had been proved in the hardest schools of war, the King had the spirit of an interior decorator; the nation could have born the expense of his artistic tastes, could have forgiven the eccentricity of it all, but Henry showed time and again that he was timorous as well as artistic. He feared thunderstorms, and battle was beyond him.

The Crown had some 60 castles in England, and these were in a bad state after the troubles of John's reign and the minority. Henry travelled about tirelessly rebuilding them and making them more comfortable, spending at least ten per cent of his income on building works. He personally instructed his architects in great detail, and could not wait for them to finish---it must be ready for his return 'even if a thousand workmen are required every day' and the job must be 'properly done, beautiful and fine.' In addition he built or restored twenty royal houses, decorating them sumptiously. The painted chamber at Westminster was 80 ft. long, 26 ft. wide, and 31 ft. high. The walls were all wainscotted (at Winchester even the pantry and cellar were wainscotted) and painted with pictures and proverbs. The subjects of the pictures varied according to the royal moods---in May 1250 the Queen borrowed a book about the crusades, and a year later the walls at Clarendon showed Richard the Lionheart duelling with Saladin. Wherever there were no pictures, there was the King's favourite decor---green curtains spangled with gold stars. The floors were tiled, the windows glazed (and barred after 1238 when an attempted assassination scared Henry out of his wits---he even had the vent of the royal privy into the Thames barred over) and fireplaces provided the ultimate in luxury. Special rooms sprouted everywhere, including the room where the royal head was washed.

If his private comfort bulked large in Henry's mind, his public display of piety came a close second: these were neatly combined in the royal bedroom where a window was fitted to look into the chapel. His greatest project was the rebuilding of Westminster Abbey, on which he spent nearly £50,000---the equivalent of £4,000,000 today. He had been so thrilled with St. Louis' Sainte Chapelle that he had wanted to put it on a cart and roll it back to England. That was impossible, so he had to build his own. He finished it in 1269, and proudly put up the inscription 'As the rose is the flower of all flowers, so this is the house of houses.'

For a while Henry had reason for pride: he married Eleanor, daughter of the Count of Savoy, and sister of the Queen of France, the finest match in Europe; his sister Isabella was married to the Emperor Frederick II, and his son Edward to Eleanor of Castille. He persuaded the Germans to elect his brother, Richard of Cornwall, King of the Romans.

On the other hand, his foreign policy was leading him into dangers. In 1242 he foolishly allowed himself to be led into supporting his mother's ambitions in Poitou, and the enmity with France was to continue needlessly until the settlement of 1259. Louis IX had no desire to be his enemy---in 1254 all England was amazed at the French King's generous gift of an elephant, which the historian Matthew Paris went to draw in the Tower of London.

In 1246 Henry's mother died (to almost universal relief) and he generously invited his four Lusignan half-brothers to live out their orphanage under his roof. He gave them large incomes, but they took more, milking the land as hard as they could in the last moments before bankruptcy. The English hated them for their avarice, price, and foreign-ness.

In ecclesiastical affairs Henry's hands were hopelessly tied---the Pope had always been his chief prop, and the King could not afford to lose his aid. There was a strong movement for reform, but the papacy's desparate need for money to prosecute its war against the Hohenstauffen made reform a secondary consideration, and indeed frequently blocked it. But Henry may justly be criticised for his foolishness in accepting the papal offer of the crown of Sicily for his son Edmund in 1250. The payment was to meet the astonomical debts of the Pope, and Richard of Cornwall had already wisely turned down this bad bargain, commenting that he had been offered the moon, if he could reach it.

Henry's need for money dominated most of his domestic policy. During the period of his personal government he obtained what he needed by getting legalists and professional civil servants to manipulate the complex chaos of the feudal government he had inherited. Government became a secret and centralised affair, excluding the barons, great and small. There are many comparisons here with the tyranny of Chales I.

In 1258 came the explosion: Parliament refused a grant unless Henry should exile his grasping half-brothers, and allow a commission of enquiry. A committee was set up to control the appointment of Crown officials, examine and reform local government, and supervise the affairs of the realm in general.

This was a revolt, but it had many obscure roots. One cannot assess how deeply felt were the demands for just and equal government voiced by Simon de Montfort, but certainly there were other elements in the baronial party which were reactionary rather than revolutionary, wanting to return to baronial government for its own sake. On this issue the reformers spilt, Gloucester leading the conservatives, and de Montfort the radicals. Henry saw his chance, and deftly using the ever valuable support of the Pope, shook off the Committee's control.

Now came war, and the stunning defeat of the royal party at Lewes in 1264. From this point onwards Henry was very much a broken man, though prone to bouts of vicious anger. The initiative was passed to his son, the Lord Edward, who defeated de Montfort at Evesham, where Henry was rescued, scratched and shouting 'Do not hurt me.'

Henry longed for revenge, and disinherited the rebels, who fled to hideouts in the fens to continue the war. The papal legate Ottobono persuaded the King to go so far, in the Dictum of Kenilworth of 1266, as to allow the rebels to buy back their estates. Still not satisfied, the disinherited, under Gloucester's leadership, took London, and Richard of Cornwall negotiated an easier peace. In 1267 the Statute of Marlborough embodied much of what de Montfort had fought for, and the long years of trouble were over.

Henry had at least survived, and his last years were happy in that he fininshed building his patron saint's Abbey of Westminster. The wheel of fortune that decorated so many of his palaces' walls had come round, and all the rage and terror were done with. Henry died in 1272.

General Notes:
Canterbury, 14 Jan 1236 -- 19-year-old Eleanor, second of four beautiful daughters of the Count of Provence, was married in great splendour in the cathedral at Canterbury to King Henry III. The bride had travelled the length of France for the ceremony and was crowned in Westminster abbey 16 days later. Henry spared no expense in renovating the palace of Westminster for his bride. Plumbing was installed, glass was fitted in the windows, and built huge fireplaces in the palace. The king originally negotiated for the hand of the Countess of Ponthieu, but changed his mind when he was told of the four beauties of Provence. There was some haggling over the dowry, but indications were that it soon became a love match. [Chronicle of the Royal Family, p. 57]

Edward was undoubtedly devoted to his first queen, Eleanor of Castile, daughter of Ferdinand III of Castile and Jeanne of Dammartin, and it seems that she valued her connections with France more than those with Castile. She did not bring a large number of kinsmen and compatriots to England in the way that her mother-in-law had done, but some of her French relations were given places in her household. She was probably only 12 at the time of her marriage, and her death in 1290 came when she was only 49. Her main activity was the production of children, probably 15 in all, but she did manage to share Edward's career to a remarkable extent, accompanying him on crusade, and going to Wales and Gascony with him.

Eleanor was a cultured woman. She possessed a library of romances, presumably many of them of the Arthurian type. Eleanor was fond of Tapestries, and even engaged in weaving them herself. She was probably not as fond of chess and similar games as her husband, though there is a reference to her playing the game of Four Kings, probably a four-handed variant of chess. A touching not in the accounts records that her clerks were sent to buy fruit from a Spanish ship which came to Portsmouth--even late in life she missed the figs, pomegranates, oranges and lemons of her childhood.

There is a discordant element in Eleanor's career, concerning the running of her estates. Investigations after her death into the activities of her estate managers produced an unattractive picture of high-handed and extortionate behaviour. One charge, which was upheld, was that one of Eleanor's reeves has seized a house from its owners, falsely procuring their imprisonment, and dumping their baby in its cradle in the middle of the road. [Edward I, p. 122-4]

Dau. of Raymond Berengar, count of Provence; queen of Henry III of England (m. 1236). Although the marriage to Henry was prestigious--Eleanor's sister, Margaret, had become the wife of Louis IX of France in 1234--Eleanor brought no dowry with her. The king, however, provided generously for his young bride, who was still in her early teens, and the couple formed a strong mutual attachment, considered unusual by contemporaries. Henry showed considerable favour to two of her uncles, giving one, Peter of Savoy, the honour of Richmond in 1240, and the other, Boniface, the archbishopric of Canterbury in 1241. As a result he was drawn into a network of Savoyard intrigue, which created hostility to both king and queen. Eleanor was also extravagant: in the 1260s a payment of 20,000 marks made to her by the Londoners was swallowed up by her creditors abroad. Eleanor bore Henry two sons and three daughters. When he died in 1272, she retired to the great nunnery at Amesbury. After her death her son, Edward I, paid off her continuing debts. [The Plantagenet Encyclopedia, p. 71-2]

1005548742. John "The Marshal" FITZGILBERT Of Rockley,³⁹⁹ ^,415 ^,505 ^,662 ^,854 ^,855 ^,856 ^,857 ^,858 ^,859 ^,860 ^,861 ^,862 ^,863 son of Gilbert Le Mareschal FITZ ROBERT Of Winterbourne and Miss De VENUZ, was born before 1109 in Winterbourne Monkton, Marlborough, Wiltshire, England ^⁸⁶⁰ and died before 29 September 1165 in Rockley, Marlborough, Wiltshire, England ^⁸⁶⁰. Another name for John was John Fitzgilbert Le MARSHAL.

General Notes:
John FitzGilbert, styled also John the Marshal, 1st son and heir [of Gilbert], a party to the suit aforesaid, succeeded to his father's lands and office in or shortly before 1130, when he owed 22.13.4 marks for them. He then held land in Wiltshire, and owed 40 marks silver for the office of supplying fodder for the royal horses in his charge, as well as 30 marks silver for the land and daughter of Walter Pipard. He was with Henry I in Normandy in 1137 and in England in 1138, in which year he fortified the castles of Marlborough and Ludgershall. In 1140 he held Marlborough for the King, and captured Robert FitzHubert, who had taken the royal castle of Devizes. After Stephen had been taken prisoner at Lincoln, John joined the Empress, with whom he was at Reading in May, at Oxford in July, and at Winchester in Aug-Sep 1141, where in the final rout he was cut off and surrounded in Wherwell Abbey, but escaped with the loss of an eye and other wounds (b). In 1142 he was again with the Empress at Oxford, and some 2 years later at Devizes. In 1144 he was raiding the surrounding country form Marlborough Castle and oppressing the clergy. He was with Maud's son Henry at Devizes in 1149 and 1153; and in 1152 Newbury Castle was defended by his constable against Stephen. After Henry's accession John was granted Crown lands in Wiltshire worth 82 marks per annum, including Marlborough Castle; but he had to surrender the castle in 1158. He was present at the Council of Clarendon in 1164; soon after which he sued Thomas Becket for part of his manor at Pagham, in Sussex. John was a benefactor to the priory of Bradenstoke, the abbey of Troarn, and the Templars.

He m., 1stly, Aline, who may have been the daughter and heir of Walter Pipard. He is said to have repudiated her circa 1141, and he m., 2ndly, Sibyl, sister of Patrick de Salisbury, 1st Earl of WIltshire, and daughter of Walter de Salisbury, hereditary sheriff of Wiltshire and constable of Salisbury Castle, by Sibyl, daughter of Patrick de Chaources (Chaworth). John d. in 1165, before Michaelmas. [Complete Peerage X:Appendix G:93-95]

(b) According to the poem, John escaped from Winchester on foot to Marlborough, and there assembled troops, with which he inflicted much loss on the King and his partisans, and when Stephen marched towards Ludgershall, the Marshal waylaid and defeated the royal forces. After this Patrick de Salisbury (whom the poet prematurely makes an Earl) is said to have made many attacks on the Marshal, with the King's support; until the feud was settled by John repudiating his 1st wife and marrying Patrick's sister.

--------------------------------

John Marshal, whom the Gesta Stephani rather unkindly describes as 'a limb of hell and the root of all evil' was a man who loved warfare, and played the game of politics with great success. At first he supported Stephen but, when he began to realise the failings of the King and the potentialities of Matilda's party, he changed sides. Almost immediately he proved by a consummate act of bravery and hardihood, that he was worth having: escorting Matilda to safety in his castle at Ledgershall, John found that the party was going dangerously slowly because Matilda was riding side-saddle, so he persuaded her to ride astride, and stopped behind to delay the pursuers at Wherwell. His force was soon overpowered by the numbers of the enemy, and John took refuge with one of his knights in the Abbey. The opposing party promptly set fire to the church, and John and his knight had to take cover in the tower, John threatening to kill his knight if he made any move to surrender. As the lead of the roof began to melt and drop on the two soldiers, putting out one of John's eyes, the enemy moved off, convinced that they were dead. They escaped, in a terrible state, but triumphant, to John's castle.

He plainly expected his children to be as tough as himself, as an incident of the year 1152, when William was about six, will show. King Stephen went to besiege Newbury Castle, which Matilda had given John to defend; the castellan, realising that provisions and the garrison were both too low to stand a long siege, asked for a truce to inform his master. This was normal practice, for if the castellan were not at once relieved, he could then surrender without being held to have let his master down. Now John had not sufficient troops to relieve the castle, so he asked Stephen to extend the truce whilst he, in turn, informed his mistress, and agreed to give William as a hostage, promising not to provision and garrison the castle during the truce. This he promptly did, and when he received word from Stephen that the child would be hung if he did not at once surrender the castle, he cheerfully replied that he had hammer and anvils to forge a better child than William. [Who's Who in the Middle Ages, John Fines, Barnes & Noble Books, New York, 1995]

----------------------------

John Mareschall, attaching himself to the fortunes of Maud against King Stephen, was with Robert, the consul, Earl of Gloucester, at the siege of Winchester Castle, when the party of the empress sustained so signal a defeat. Upon the accession of Henry II, however, in 1154, his fidelity was amply rewarded by considerable grants in the co. Wilts; and in the 10th of that monarch's reign, being then marshal, he laid claim, for the crown, to one of the manors of the see of Canterbury from the prelate, Thomas à Becket, who about that period, had commenced his contest with the king. To this John s. his son and heir, John Mareschall. [Sir Bernard Burke, Dormant, Abeyant, Forfeited, and Extinct Peerages, Burke's Peerage, Ltd., London, 1883, p. 357, Marshal, Barons Marshal]
