Narrative

From: RAOUL DE TOENI
The Conqueror and His Companions
by J.R. Planché, Somerset Herald. London: Tinsley Brothers
, 1874 (made available by Pat Patterson)
"In 1077, he married Elizabeth, or Isabel, daughter of Simo
n de Montfort l'Amauri, whose hand he obtained by the audac
ious act of carrying off by night Agnes, daughter of Richar
d, Comte d'Evreux, who was his half-sister, and marrying he
r to the said Simon. Orderic gives an amusing account of th
is Isabel and her sister-in-law Havise, daughter of William
, Comte de Nevers, the wife of her brother Willliam, Comt
e d'Evreux. The Countess Havise took offence, it appears, a
t some taunts of the Lady of Conches, and used all her infl
uence with her husband and his barons to have recourse to a
rms, in which mischievous attempt she unfortunately succeed
ed. "Both these ladies," the chronicler tells us, "were gre
at talkers, and spirited as well as handsome; they ruled th
eir husbands, oppressed their vassals, and inspired terro
r in various ways: but still their characters were very dif
ferent. Havise had wit and eloquence, but she was cruel an
d avaricious; Isabel, on the contrary, was generous, enterp
rising, and lively, so that she was beloved and esteemed b
y those immediately about her. She rode in knightly armou
r when the vassals took the field, and exhibited as much da
ring amongst belted knights and men-at-arms as Camilla, th
e renowned Virgin of Italy, among the squadrons of Tevenus."

Narrative

Name Suffix:<NSFX> III, Seigneur De Conches, Flamstead "Senex"
Participated in the Battle of Mortimer in 1054 and was selected by Duke William (later the Conqueror) to report the Duke's victory to the King who supported the losers. In 1063, however, Ralph was one of the Dukes for their traditional quarrellings were deprives of all their possessions. But he later recovered his domains and was Chosen as William's standard bearer at the Battle of Hasting, 1066. He declined, however, in order ro participate in the actueal fighting. For his services he received lands Hertsfordshire, Worchestershire, and Norfolk. The Domesday Survey (1086) showed him owning 37 Manors. The way in which Ralph's wife was obtained illustrates the rough manners of the time. Ralph carried off Alice, sister of Richard, 3rd Count of Evereux, and gave her to Simon as his 3rd wife in exchange for Simon's own daughter in marriage.
