He was the son of Richard FitzAlan, 10th Earl of Arundel and Eleanor of Lancaster and was born in 1346. He succeeded his father on January 24, 1376. His brother was Thomas Arundel who was Bishop of Ely from 1374 to 1388, then Archbishop of York from 1388 to 1397, then Archbishop of Canterbury.

At the coronation of Richard II, Richard FitzAlan carried the crown.

In 1377 he was Admiral of the West and South. 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.

FitzAlan was closely aligned with Thomas, Duke of Gloucester who was an uncle of Richard II. Thomas was opposed to Richard II's desire for peace with France in the Hundred Years War and a power struggle between Gloucester and Richard II ensued. In late 1386, Gloucester forced Richard II to name both himself and Richard FitzAlan to Richard's Council. 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 be one year.

In 1386 Richard II named him Admiral of all England, as well as being knighted a Knight of the Garter. As Admiral of All England, he defeated a Franco-Spanish-Flemish fleet off of Margate in March 1387, along with the Thomas de Mowbray, earl of Nottingham. In August, the king dismissed Gloucester and FitzAlan from the council and replaced them with his own favorites - including Archbishop Alexander Neville of York, the Duke of Ireland Robert de Vere, Michael de la Pole the earl of Suffolk, Sir Robert Tresillian who was the chief justice, and the former mayor of London Nicholas Brembre. The king summoned Gloucester and FitzAlan to meet with the king, but instead of coming, they raised troops and defeated the new council at Radcot Bridge, taking the favorites prisoner. The Merciless Parliament the next year condemned the favorites. Richard was one of the Lords Appellant who accused and condemned Richard II's favorites. He was named Governor of Brest in 1388.

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.
Arundel married twice. His first wife was Elizabeth de Bohun, daughter of William de Bohun, 1st Earl of Northampton. They married around September 28, 1359.

Arundel then married Philippa Mortimer, daughter of Edmund Mortimer, 3rd Earl of March. Her mother was Philippa Plantagenet, a daughter of Lionel of Antwerp and thus a granddaughter of Edward III. They had no children.
On July 12, 1397 he was arrested for his opposition to Richard II, as well as plotting with Gloucester to imprison the king. He stood trial at Westminster and was attainted.[8] He was beheaded on September 21, 1397 and was buried in the church of the Augustin Friars, Bread Street, London. In October of 1400, the attainter was reversed, and Richard's son Thomas succeeded to his father's estates and honors.

Richard FitzAlan, 10th Earl of Arundel and Earl of Surrey, son of Richard FitzAlan and Eleanor Plantagenet, and was born 1346. He was bearer of the crown at the coronation of Richard II, July 16, 1377, and was a member of the Council, was made Admiral of the West and South Fleet in 1377, and subsequently, 1386, of all England, and Knight of the Garter in the same year. He distinguished himself in the French Wars, gaining a brilliant naval victory over allied French, Spanish and Flemish fleets, off Margate, March 24, 1387, and was made Governor of Brest 1388. Together with the Duke of Gloucester he took an active part against the King, Richard II, who in 1388 was entirely in that Duke's power. In 1394 he obtained pardon for all political offenses, but was treacherously seized July 12, 1397, tried at Westmoreland, and beheaded in Cheapside Sept. 21, 1397. (Footnote says: "No more shrinking or changing colour than if he were going to a banquet.") He married (contract dated Sept. 28, 1359) Elizabeth de Bohun, who died April 3, 1385, and was buried at Lewes.

He was the fifth son of Humphrey de Bohun, 4th Earl of Hereford and Elizabeth of Rhuddlan. He had a twin brother, Edward. His maternal grandparents were Edward I of England and his first Queen consort Eleanor of Castile.

In 1332 he received many new properties: Hinton and Spaine in Berkshire; Hasley, Ascot, Dedington, Pyrton and Kirklington in Oxfordshire; Wincomb in Buckinghamshire; Longbenington in Lincolnshire; Kneesol in Bottinghamshire; Newnsham in Gloucestershire, Wix in Essex, and Bosham in Sussex. He was created Earl of Northampton in 1337, adding to the titles of Count of Hereford and Essex.

In 1339 he accompanied the King to Flanders. He served variously in Brittany and in Scotland, and was present at the great English victories at Sluys and was a commander at Crécy.
In addition to being a warrior, William was also a renowned diplomat. He negotiated two treaties with France, one in 1343 and one in 1350. He was also charged with negotiating in Scotland for the freedom of David Bruce, prisoner of the English.

De Bohun was succeeded by his son Humphrey, who also succeeded his uncle and became 7th earl of Hereford. His daughter Elizabeth de Bohun was married to Richard Fitzalan, 6th Earl of Arundel.

William de Bohun, 4th son, was a personage of great eminence in the turbulent times in which he lived, and was one of the gallant heroes of Cressy. In the Parliament held in London, in the 11th of Edward III, 1337, upon the advancement of the Black Prince to the dukedom of Cornwall, he was created Earl of Northampton, and from that period his lordship appears the constant companion in arms of the illustrious Edward, the Black Prince, and his martial father Edward III. He was entrusted at different periods with the most important offices, such as ambassador to treat of peace with hostile powers, commissioner to levy taxes, etc., and he was finally honoured with Knight of the Garter. His lordship
married Elizabeth de Badlesmere, daughter of Bartholomew de Badlesmere and Margaret de Clare; daughter of Thomas de Clare and Juliana FitzGerald; son of Thomas de Clare, Governor of London 1274; son of Richard de Clare (son of Gilbert de Clare, Surety, son of Richard de Clare, Surety) and his wife Maud de Lacie; daughter of John de Lacie, Surety, and Margaret de Quincey; daughter of Robert de Quincey; son of Saire de Quincey, Surety for the Magna Charta. William de Bohun had issue Humphrey, who succeeded his uncle as Earl of Hereford and Essex and Constable of England, and a daughter Elizabeth. He died 1360.

John Howard was known as "Jack (or "Jock," hence: "Jockey") of Norfolk". He had the support of Edward IV of England who made him constable of Norwich Castle, sheriff of Norfolk and Suffolk, treasurer of the Royal Household. For his support of Richard III during the desposition of Edward V in 1483, he was created Duke of Norfolk, Earl Marshal of England, and Lord Admiral of all England, Ireland, and Aquitaine.

He was married first to Katherine Moleyns (1424-1465), the daughter of William de Moleyns and Margery Whalesborough; and then to Margaret Chedworth (1436-1494), the daughter of Sir John Chedworth and Margaret Bowett. Ms. Bowett's maiden name is sometimes thought to have been Wyfold, but this is an error of confusion since it was her daughter, Margaret Chedworth, who had originally married Nicholas Wyfold (1420-1456), the Lord Mayor of London, in 1455. Ms. Bowett's parents were Nicholas Bowett of Rippingale, Lincolnshire, England and Elizabeth La Zouche of Harringworth, Northampton, England.

He died on August 22, 1485 in the Battle of Bosworth Field. The night before, someone had left him a note warning him that King Richard III, his "master," was going to be double-crossed, which he was:
“Jockey of Norfolk, be not too bold,
For Dickon, thy master, is bought and sold.”

He was buried in Thetford Priory but his body seems to have been moved at the Reformation, possibly to the tomb of Thomas Howard, 3rd Duke of Norfolk at Framlingham. The monumental brass of his first wife Katherine Moleyns can however still be seen in Suffolk.
He was the great-grandfather of Anne Boleyn and Catherine Howard, respectively the second and fifth Queen consort of Henry VIII of England.

Hugh de Courtenay, Baron Oakhampton, was 23 years old as appears by inquisition taken after the death of his father. In 1282, in the 10th of King Edward I, he was in the expedition then made into Wales, and afterwards in other expeditions, and had many contests with the monks of Ford relative to certain services he demanded of them as a patron of the Abbey, which his father had relinquished in their behalf. (He was one of the most powerful persons of his time, possessed of great estates and favorite of the unhappy Edward II. This last sentence refers to Hugh de Spenser, whose daughter Eleanor married this Hugh de Courtenay. This Hugh de Spenser, called the Elder, and his son Hugh were most prominent in their time and you descend from them also through John Whitney.) Through his wife Eleanor, Hugh de Courtenay had the manors of Wooten and Dunstredon, and had issue by her 2 sons and 4 daughters: Hugh, his successor, Philip, Isabel, wife of Sir John St. John of Basing, of whom further, Aveline, Egeline, and Margaret. He died at his house at Colecomb, which he built in Colliton Parish, Feb. 28, 1291, and his wife at the same place Oct. 1, 1328, after having been a widow above 30 years, and was interred near her husband at Cowick. Her mother was Oliva Bassett, heir of Philip, Lord Bassett of Wicomb in County Bucks.

John de Courtenay was Baron of Oakhampton, and in 27th of Henry III (1246) paid 100 marks for his relief, and doing homage had livery of all his lands, but it does not appear that he was ever summoned to Parliament. He was employed on several important services in Henry III's reign and was also a great benefactor of the monks of Ford Abbey. He died May 3, 1273 and was buried near his father in the Abbey. He married Isabel (daughter of Hugh de Vere, Earl of Oxford, and his wife Hawise, daughter of Saire de Quincey, Surety for the Magna Charta, son of Robert de Vere, 3rd Earl of Oxford, Surety for the Magna Charta), and had one son, Hugh. His lady surviving him married 2nd Lord Dinham.

 1255 Eleanor de Courtenay 1100 - 1161 Renaud de Courtenay 61 61 # Note:

    Renaud de Courtenay, Lord of Courtenay; accompanied Louis VII of France on the Second Crusade but quarreled with him so that Louis seized his French possessions and bestowed them, with Renaud's daughter (Elizabeth) in marriage, on his (Louis') own younger brother Pierre; Renaud subsequently threw in his lot with the English kings and was granted the Lordship of Sutton (now Sutton Courtenay), on the Berks-Oxon borders by Henry II 1161; accompanied Henry II to Wexford in the Irish expedition of 1172; married 1st Hedwige (living 1148-58), sister of Guy du Donjon; married 2nd Maud, Dame du Sap (dsp 1224), daughter of Robert Fitz Roy (illegitimate son of Henry I of England) by his wife Maud d'Avranches. [Burke's Peerage]

# Note:

I consider there to be two Renaud de Courtenay's: Renaud I married Hedwige du Donjon and his son, Renaud II married 1st Hawise Deincourt and 2nd Maud du Sap (dsp 1224).

of Sutton, Berkshire, England; Sire de Courtenay; exiled 1150. [Roderick W. Stuart, Royalty for Commoners, 3rd ed., Genealogical Publishing Company, Baltimore MD, 1998]

# Note: ----------------------------------------------------

    The story is told that the great possesions in France of Renaud de Courtenay (a man of high social rank and described in personal terms as in effect a glorified bandit) were seized abt 1150 by King Louis VII who granted them to his own youngest brother, Pierre (ancestor of the French Courtenays), with Renaud's daughter, Elizabeth, in marriage, and that Renaud then appeared in England as a minor functionary of the English Court with a small manor and another family. [Ancestral Roots, Frederick Weis, line 138]

# Note:

    Ancestral Roots also discounts Renaud II being the son of Milo (ie. Renaud I and Renaud II in my genalogy, which AR seems to consider the same person) because of dates and social standings, but does not seem to address the possibility of a Reginald [d. 1194 - line 138-25), son of Renaud II (d. 1190 - line 138-24), son of Renaud I (d. 1161 - line 107-24), son of Milo [d. 1127 - line 107-23).

# Note:

Since according to Burke, Elizabeth's marriage was 1150, Renaud lost his French lands and went to England on or about 1150. His children were born in France, while he still had possession of his French estates.

Seigneur De Courtenay
Baron of Oakhampton
He was a nobleman of Sutton, Berkshire, England.
He was the son of Miles de Courtenay and Ermengard de Nevers. He married Elizabeth de Donjon, a daughter of Frederick du Donjon and Corbeil.
(Wikipedia)

Reginald de Courtenay, who went to the Holy Land, and went to England with Queen Eleanor (divorced wife of Louis VII, King of France), who married Henry, Duke of Normandy, afterwards Henry II, King of England. King Louis VII had taken his Queen Eleanor, heiress of Aquitiane and Poicters, etc., with him to the Holy Land, where he suspected her of nuptial infidelity. Upon that occasion there were two parties, one for the King and one for the Queen. Reginald de Courtenay was one of those who vindicated Eleanor's character. Reginald de Courtenay whilst in France married a sister of Guy de Donjon, who was one of the famous knights of that age, and descended from the ancient Counts of Corbeil, and had by her two daughters. The eldest, Elizabeth, married Peter, youngest son of Louis VI, King of France, surnamed Le Gros, which Peter on obtaining all the Seigneuries of Courtenay, Montorges, etc., took the name and arms of Courtenay, and was ancestor of the Courtenays of France, who claim the rank of Princes of the Blood next to the House of Bourbon. Their daughter Alice married Aymer, Count of Valence, and their daughter Isabel married King John of England. Their son Peter married Yolanda of Hainault, sister of Baldwin, Emperor of Constantinople, and their daughter Yolanda or Jolanda married Andrew, King of Hungary. Reginald de Courtenay married 2nd Hawisa D'Eincourt, only daughter and heir of Robert de Abrancis, from whom Reginald de Courtenay in right of his wife became hereditary Sheriff of Devonshire, Baron of Oakhampton, and Governor of Castle Exeter. Sir Reginald died Sept. 27, 1194 and is buried in Ford Abbey. His 2nd wife Hawisa died July 30, 1209. He was in great favor with Henry II, was with him in his wars, and esteemed a noble and valiant warrior, and was witness to many deeds and charters. By his 2nd wife he had 3 sons and one daughter: Robert, from whom this line is descended, Reginald, Henry, and Egeline (the wife of Gilbert Bassett, Baron of Heddington, by whom she had a daughter Eustachia, who married Richard de Camville, and their daughter Idonea married William de Longspee, Earl of Salisbury, natural son of Henry II, by Rosamund Clifford. Ela de Longspee married James D'Audley and Joan D'Audley married John de Beauchamp.

 D. 1209 Hawisa de Eyncourt 1170 - 1242 Robert de Courtenay 72 72 Baron Oakhampton
Viscount of Devonshire
Robert de Courtenay, eldest son of Sir Reginald de Courtenay and his 2nd wife, Hawisa D'Eincourt, succeeded as Baron Oakhampton, Viscount of Devonshire and Governor of the Castle Exeter, and Governor of Bruge, now Bridgeworth, 1214. He died July 26, 1242 and was buried at Ford Abbey. In the year 1205, in the 7th year of King John's reign, he gave 500 œ and 5 palfries to have livery of the barony of Oakhampton, with the knights fees thereto, which were no less than 92. In the 12th year of King John, to be released from debt, he covenanted to serve the King with 20 men at arms, at his own charge. In 17th of King John he was made Sheriff of Oxfordshire and Governor of the Castle of Oxford. In 16th of Henry II, 1232, the King commanded him to deliver the Castle of Exeter to Peter de Riveaux, his favorite, by which the family of Courtenay was deprived of the honour and profit of the Viscounty of Devonshire after it had been enjoyed by them and their ancestors for nearly 200 years, although Robert de Courtenay had been faithful to the King and his father on many occasions. At his death his remains were deposited in Ford Abbey in the chancel of the church there with great pomp; and a stately monument, in the form of a pyramid, was erected to his memory. He married Mary, youngest daughter of William de Redvers, Earl of Devonshire, by whom his posterity sometime after became Earls of Devonshire.

William de Redvers, 2nd son, surnamed Vernon, died 1216. He succeeded to the estates at the death of his nephew Richard, as 6th Earl of Devon. This nobleman, upon the second coronation of King Richard I, was one of the four Earls that carried the silken canopy, he being then styled Earl of the Isle of Wight. His lordship appears to have adhered steadily to King John, for we find that monarch, in the 18th year of his reign, providing for the security of the Earl's property against Louis of France, which from his advanced age he was unable to defend himself. He married Mabel, daughter of Robert, Earl of Meulent, by whom he acquired a considerable accession to his landed possessions.
(Kin of Mellcene Thurman Smith, page 277)

He was the son of Baldwin de Redvers, 2nd Earl of Devon and Adelise Baluun. Baldwin de Redvers also called 5st Earl of Devon or William de Vernon,so called because he was born at Vernon Castle, in Normandy, the seat of his grandfather, prior to his arrival in England.
He was maried Mabile de Beaumont, daughter of Robert de Beaumont, Count of Meulan.

He married Maud de Dunstanville, daughter of Reginald de Dunstanville, 1st Earl of Cornwall and Beatrice FitzRichard, circa 1165.

He was an illegitimate son of Henry I of England and Lady Sybilla Corbet.
Reginald had been invested with the Earldom of Cornwall by King Stephen of England, but having afterwards taken up the cause of the Empress Matilda, his sister, he forfeited his lands and honours. Possibly during 1173 he grants a charter to his free bugesses of Triueru, and he addresses his meetings at Truro to All men both Cornish and English suggesting a continuing differentiation.
Also he had illegitimate children:
Henry FitzCount, Sheriff of Cornwall, Earl of Cornwall (d. 1222).
William FitzCount.

She was the eldest daughter of John de Segrave, 4th Baron Segrave and Margaret Plantagenet, Duchess of Norfolk, who was the eldest daughter of Thomas of Brotherton, 1st Earl of Norfolk, a son by his second marriage of King Edward I. Thus Mowbray was a great-great-grandson of King Edward I.
On 10 February 1382, he succeeded his brother John as 6th Baron Mowbray and 7th Baron Segrave, and soon afterwards was created Earl of Nottingham, a title that had also been created for his elder brother. Three years later he was appointed Earl Marshal of England, and in that capacity he fought against the Scots and then against the French.
Lord Nottingham was one of the Lords Appellant to King Richard II who deposed some of King Richard's court favorites in 1387. The King's uncle, Thomas of Woodstock, 1st Duke of Gloucester, was imprisoned at Calais, where Nottingham was Captain. When Gloucester was killed in 1397, it was probably at the King's orders and probably with Nottingham's involvement. A few weeks later he was created Duke of Norfolk, though his aged grandmother, the Duchess of Norfolk, was still alive. When she died the next year he also became 3rd Earl of Norfolk.
Later, in 1389, Norfolk quarrelled with Henry of Bolingbroke, 1st Duke of Hereford (later King Henry IV), apparently due to mutual suspicions stemming from their roles in the conspiracy against the Duke of Gloucester. The King banished them both. After Hereford returned and usurped the throne, Norfolk was stripped of the Dukedom of Norfolk, though he retained his other titles. He died of the plague in Venice, on 22 September 1399.
The matter of Norfolk's quarrel and subsequent banishment is depicted at the beginning of Shakespeare's Richard II.
Norfolk had no children by his first wife, Elizabeth le Strange, suo jure 3rd Baroness Strange, daughter and heiress of John le Strange, 2nd Baron Strange. He had two sons by his second wife, Lady Elizabeth FitzAlan, daughter of Richard FitzAlan, 11th Earl of Arundel: Thomas, later 4th Earl of Norfolk; and John, later 5th Earl of Norfolk, later restored as 2nd Duke of Norfolk.

As was the custom of lords at the time, de Mowbray served in the French wars. The 4th Baron took the cross and met his end near Constantinople, fighting against the Turks.

John de Mowbray married Elizabeth, daughter of John, Lord Segrave and Margaret, Duchess of Norfolk. They had at least two sons, and several daughters.

(Joan is also descended from Hugh and Roger Bigod, Sureties. for Magna Charta.)
(Kin of Mellcene Thurman Smith, page 375)

John was heir to the baronies of Bramber and Gower as well as the extensive Mowbray lands of Axholme. In 1329 he was accused of having attacked the manors of Richard de Peshale, his mother's husband. He was in dispute with Thomas de Brewes in the 1340s over Washington, Findon and West Grinstead.
He was a constant companion in arms of Edward III on the French campaigns and married Joan, daughter of Henry, Duke of Lancaster. He died in 1361.

 1349 Eleanor de Mowbray 1286 - 1322 John de Mowbray 35 35 Roger (1266-1298), who was summoned to parliament by Edward I, was father of John (1286-1322), a warrior and warden of the Scottish March, who, joining in Thomas of Lancaster's revolt, was captured at Boroughbridge and hanged. His wife, a Braose heiress, added Gower in South Wales and the Bramber lordship in Sussex to the great possessions of his house. Their son John (d. 1361) was father, by a daughter of Henry earl of Lancaster, of John, Lord Mowbray (c. 1328-1368), whose fortunate alliance with the heiress of Lord Segrave, by the heiress of Edward I's son Thomas, earl of Norfolk and marshal of England, crowned the fortunes of his race. In addition to a vast accession to their lands, the earldom of Nottingham and the marshalship of England were bestowed on them by Richard II, and the dukedom of Norfolk followed.

He was early embittered against King John by being compelled by him to surrender the Barony of Front-Beouf (which Henry I had conferred upon his grandfather, Sir Nigel d'Albini) to a descendant of the original owner. This was probably because Mowbray, upon the accession of King John, was tardy in pledging his allegiance, and at length only swore fealty upon condition that the "King should render every man his right." At the outbreak of the Baronial War he was Governor of York Castle, and it is not surprising that he at once sided with the barons against King John, and was one of the most forward of them. He was selected one of the Sureties for the Magna Charta and was a party to the "Covenant for holding the City and Tower of London" and one of those whom the Pope Innocent III excommunicated by name. He died in 1223-4 at his castle in the Isle of Axlholme and was buried in the Abbey of Newburgh in Yorkshire. He married Agnes d'Albini, daughter of William d'Albini.

For distinguished military services in Normandy he was remunerated by a royal grant of the forfeited lands and castles of his maternal uncle, Robert de Mowbray, both in Normandy and England. These grants made him possessor of 240 knight's fees, and consequently one of the most influential barons of his time. He died at an advanced age and was buried with his ancestors in the Abbey of Bec in Normandy. He married first his Aunt Maud (wife of his Uncle Robert), daughter of Richard, Baron Aquila. by papal dispensation, her husband Robert aforesaid being then alive, but in prison for rebellion. From her, by whom he had no issue, he was separated by the Pope on account of consanguinity and the scandal the marriage caused. He married 2nd in 1118 Gundreda, daughter of Gerald, second Baron de Gournay by his wife Edith, daughter of William de Warren, first Earl of Surrey and his wife Gundreda, daughter of William the Conqueror. By his 2nd wife he had Roger.
(Kin of Mellcene Thurman Smith, page 374)

Nigel was rewarded with the escheated fief of Geoffrey de la Guerche, of which Melton (Mowbray) was the head, and with forfeited lands in Yorkshire. Nigel married, by dispensation, the wife of his cousin, the imprisoned earl, but afterwards divorced her, and by another wife was father of a son Roger, who took the name of Mowbray.

 1120 Alice de Gaunt 1095 Gundred de Gournay 1255 - 1326 William de Braose 71 71 William had already taken on many of the duties of the lordship from his father when the inheritance was granted to him by the king on March 1, 1291. Their favourite residence in Gower was Oystermouth castle.
True to his father's tradition, young William had law suits that had been rumbling on for years. In 1299 the Bishop of Llandaff succeeded in a plea to the king, who ordered William to answer for his misdeeds before the court and the royal justices. In 1306 William's tenants in Gower sought justice from the king, having taken the drastic step of deserting their lands. They accused their lord of failing to protect them and their rights. His neglect and mismanagement had disgraced the marcher lordships. William was forced to issue charters of rights for the burgesses of Swansea and his tenants in Gower.

William and his first wife, known only from surviving records as Agnes, had a son William. This son, the de Braose heir, died in 1320. William married his second wife, the heiress Elizabeth de Sully, in 1317 but she remained childless. William's oldest daughter Joan married James de Bohun of Midhurst in about 1295, but she too died before her father in 1323.

William died in 1326, ironically the year the Despensers were executed. The king was deposed the following January. Alina married Richard de Peshale, whom she met when they were prisoners together in the Tower, and together they held Gower until her death in 1331. Bramber passed to her son John de Mowbray.

William was only 12 when his father died. The wardship of William and the de Braose lands were granted by Henry III to Peter des Rievaux. On his fall in 1234 these custodies were passed on to the king's brother, Richard, Earl of Cornwall. When William came of age he took control of the Braose lands in Gower, Bramber and Tetbury. He confirmed the grants made by his father of the rents of cottages in Tetbury to the priory at Aconbury, founded in memory of Maud de St Valery by her daughter Margaret.
He was plagued throughout his life by a series of legal battles with his female relatives.

William died at Findon on "the day of Epiphany" (January 6) in the year 1290/1. His funeral was at Sele Priory on January 15.

He was named in honor of St. Thomas.

His father died when he was 7 years old. Thomas' half-brother, Edward, now became king of England. The Earldom of Cornwall had been intended for Thomas, but Edward instead bestowed it upon his favorite, Piers Gaveston, in 1306. When he was 10 years old, his brother Edward II of England assigned him and another brother, Edmund, the estates of Roger Bigod, 5th Earl of Norfolk who had died without heir in 1306.

In 1312 he was titled, "Earl of Norfolk" and on February 10, 1316 he was created Marshal of England. When his brother went to Scotland in the war, he was left Keeper of England. Thomas was known for having a hot and violent temper. He was one of the many victims of the unchecked greed of Hugh the younger Despenser, who stole some of the young earl's lands. He allied himself with Queen Isabella and Roger Mortimer, 1st Earl of March when they invaded England in 1326, and stood as one of the judges in the trials against both Despensers.
He married first, probably in 1319, to Alice Hayles, daughter of Sir Roger Hayles and Alice Skogan. She was supposed to have been a great beauty. Her father was the coroner of Norfolk, a title that held a different meaning in the 14th century than it does today; his post demanded that he collect and protect revenues for the king. Thomas and Alice had three children.
Alice Hayles died in 1330, when a chantry was founded for her soul in Bosham, Sussex. Thomas was married before March 28 1335 to Mary Brewes, widow of Ralph de Cobham, Lord Cobham. He died in September 1338, and was buried in the Abbey of Bury St. Edmunds. Thomas was also an ancestor of two of the wives of Henry VIII of England, Anne Boleyn and Catherine Howard

In 1360 he was made steward of the royal forest of Havering in Essex. In 1367 was retained to 'abide for life' with the Black Prince, with a substantial allowance. He was knighted, made constable of Wallingford Castle and also given the honours of Wallingford and St. Valery. Edward III used him as an ambassador in seeking peace with France. In 1381, de Vere became a chamberlain of the Royal Household and member of the privy council, However, in 1388 his nephew, Robert de Vere, Duke of Ireland and 9th Earl of Oxford was deemed a traitor, causing Aubrey to lose his post of chamberlain. However, after Robert’s death in 1393, the king gave Aubrey the title of Earl of Oxford allowing him to take a seat in parliament. Aubrey’s son, Richard became the 11th Earl of Oxford on his death.

1335 Margaret de Kerdeston 1307 - 1361 William de Kerdeston 54 54 WILLIAM (DE KERDESTON), LORD KERDESTON, son and heir, born in 1307 or earlier, being aged 30 at his father's death in 1337. He had livery of his father's lands, saving his mother's dower, 7 October 1337, and next day had livery of the issues of his father's lands, the King having taken his homage. He was summoned to Parliament from 20 December 1337 to 20 April 1344, and 3 April 1360, and to a Council 10 October 1359. On 9 June 1340 he had licence to crenellate his dwelling-place at Claxton, and in this year he was with Edward III in Flanders when the French fleet was defeated at Sluys on 24 June. On 3 December 1340 he had a charter for a market and fair at his manor of Claxton. On 4 May 1341 he had licence to alienate certain lands, advowsons, &c., to endow chaplains in St. Mary's Chapel in Claxton, in December following made a feoffment of his manors for the chantry so founded, and on 16 January 1343/4 had Papal licence for the foundation of the college of
13 priests in Claxton. On 8 February 1341/2 (before the birth of his grandson) he settled his manors on himself and his (third) wife Margery and their male issue; in default on his son Roger and male issue; in default on William, brother of
Roger. In December 1342 he was summoned to join the expedition to France with 10 men-at-arms and 10 archers. On 28 June 1346 he had letters of protection on going to France, and fought at Crécy, 26 August 1346, among the bannerets who served in the first (the Prince of Wales's) division. On 1 Nov. 1347 he was excused all demands for men-at-arms, and on 20 October 1351 was further excused as he had served in the retinue of the Prince of Wales from the date of the passage to I-Ioggcs (Hogue St. Vaast, near Cherbourg) and at Crécy and at the siege of Calais until the King's return to EngIand. He was on numerous commissions in Norfolk and Suffolk, and on 1 August 1359 was one of those appointed to examine into the defects of Norwich Castle.

He married, 1stly, before (probably two or three years before) 9 February 1325/6, Margaret, daughter and heir of Sir Edmund BACON, of Ewelme, &c., by his 1st wife, Joan DE BREWES. She appears to have died in 1328. He married, 2ndly, Alice DE Norwich; and, 3rdly, in or before 1342, Margaret or Margery COBOLD. He died s.p.m. legitimate, 14 August 1361. His widow, as "Margaret, who was wife of William dc Kerdeston Knt.," had dower 17 February 1364/5, and was not to marry without the King's licence. She married, as 2nd wife, in or before 1367, Sir Hamon DE FELTON, [3rd Lord Felton] who died s.p.m., 1379 (see FELTON). She died 25 March 1368. Complete Peerage VII:191-3, XIV:409

Notes [CP:VII:195-8]:

As shown in the text, William, Lord Kerdeston, had by his 1st wife, Margaret Bacon, an only daughter Maud. By his 2nd wife, Alice de Norwich, he had two sons, Roger and William, both born before marriage. By his 3rd wife, Margaret or Margery Cobold, he had an only daughter, Margarct, also born out of wedlock. When William, Lord Kerdeston, died in 1361, there was immediate difficulty about his heir. His daughter Maud and her husband John Burghersh had been dead 12 years, and their son and heir John Burghersh was a minor. The Norfolk inquisition, where one would expect the best information---though possibly the finding of the jury might be influenced by the man in possession---stated that his heir was his son William,
aged 28. On the other hand, the York inquisition found his heir to be John de Burghersh, aged 18 as son of Maud, daughter of the deceased; and so also in Suffolk in 1366, where it was added that William son of William de Kerdeston had taken possession of the manor.

In 1367 a further enquiry was held on account of the conflicting returns, when the settlement of 8 February 1341/2 (see text, p. 192) was produced, and it was found that, William the elder and Margery and Roger having died s..p.m., William the younger took possession. (The statement that Margery had died s.p.m. is an error, for she was living in 1367 and did not die till Mar. 1368.)

In July 1370 the matter came to trial at Lincoln. John de Burghersh asserted that William, the occupier, was bastard son of William de Kerdeston and one Alice de Norwych, born before marriage; he himself was heir as son of Maud, daughter of William de Kerdeston by Margaret Bacoun. William asserted his legitimacy and a verdict was returned for him. On this Burghersh appealed. The parties entered into an agreement in November 1371.

A further enquiry was ordered in Suffolk in 1372, but as the Sheriff returned that he had summoned both parties, and Burghersh had failed to appear, judgment was given in favour of Kerdeston by default.

This William de Kerdeston (by Cecily his wife) left a son, Sir Leonard de Kerdeston, who was succeeded by his son, Sir Thomas de Kerdeston, who had a daughter and heir Elizabeth.

In 1425, by fine, this Sir Thomas and his wife Elizabeth conveyed the manors of Kerdiston Claxton, &c., to Thomas Chaucer (son of Geoffrey Chaucer) and Maud his wife [great-granddaughter of William, Lord Kerdeston] who reconveyed the same to Kerdeston with remainder to male issue. Twenty yeare later, in 1445/6, thls Sir Tmomas Kerdeston and Philippe his wife by fine conveyed the manors to William [de la Pole], Marquess [later Duke] of Suffolk, and Alice his wife [daughter of the above-named Maud Chaucer], who reconveyed the same with similar limitations. Sir Thomas Kerdeston died 20 July 1447, and in 1447/8 the Manors of Kerdiston, Claxton, &c., were included in a fine levied concerning the estates of William, Marquess
of Suffolk, and Alice his wife.

In 1450 further enquiry was made in Norfolk and Suffolk as to the inheritance. As all witnesses of the events must long have been dead, the returns, though obviously made with special care, are unsatisfactory. They state that William Kerdeston, knight, son of Roger, married (by banns at Bulcamp church) Margaret, daughter of Edmund Bacon, and they had issue Maud and Margaret, born in Bulcamp of lawful illarriage. Afterwards William had a son William by one Alice Norwich. After her father's death the daughter Maud took to husband John Burghersh, and had a son John. The younger John had a daughtcr Maud, who married Thomas Chauccr, and their child Alice was wife of William de la Pole, lately Duke of Suffolk. The other daughter, Margaret, married, at Bulcamp, William Tendring, knight, and had sons John and William, of whom John married Aveline, daughter of Sir John de Tylney, and left issue Isabel and Elizabeth, who died childless; and William married Catherine Clopton and had issue Alice, who married John Howard, knight. Their son Robert married Margaret, sister of John (Mowbray), Duke of Norfolk, and had issue John Howard, then living. It was Sir William Kerdeston's feoffees who gave the manors to William his bastard son.

In 1453 there was a further trial, Alice, Duchess of Suffolk, complaining of trespass by John Howard, of Stoke Nayland, esq. and his ministers at Bulcamp and Henham in January 1450/1. Howard alleged that Roger Kerdeston, chr., formerly held the estates and had issue William Kerdeston, chr., who was married in St. Botolph's Church, Norwich, to Margaret Bacoun and had a daughter Margaret. Margaret the wife died before Roger. Afterwards the said William married at the same church one Alice Norwiche, but before the marriage they had a son William Kerdeston the younger. William the father died in Roger's lifetime. After Roger's death the said daughter Margaret, at Norwich in the same hurch, wedded William Tenderyng, chr., and they had a son Wil!lam Tenderyng the younger, chr., who left a daughter Alice [and she had issue Robert Howard], who had issue the defendant John Howard. William Kerdeston the younger had issue Leonard (called Laurence elsewhere) Kerdeston, who had a son Thomas Kerdeston, who had possession of the estates and enfeoffed the Duchess of them.

This deposition can be proved to be wrong in several essentials.

The Duchess in reply alleged that Margaret wife of William Tendryn, was the issue of William Kerdeston by one Margaret Cobold, before marriage. William had by Margaret Bacon only one daughter-Maud. She married John Burghersh, knight, who had a son John, who had a daughter Maud, mother of the Duchess. She did not admit the defendant's statement about William Kerdeston the younger; but Roger Kerdeston certainly held the lands in dispute, and on bis death was succeeded by his son
William Kerdeston. This William enfeoffed William Bergh and others, who in turn enfeoffed William Kerdeston the younger, who thus came into possession. He had a son Leonard, whose son Thomas enfeoffed William, Duke of Suffolk, who enfeoffed Maud Chaucer, who had issue the Duchess, who thus entered as daughter and heir and had possession till disseised by Howard.

Howard acknowledged the gift by the feoffees to William Kerdeston the younger and his issue by Joan his wife; in default to revert to Roger Kerdeston and his issue. He claimed as heir of Roger, asserting again that Roger outlived his son William and had possession.

There were numerous adjournments, but no decision is recorded. The Poles, however, retained the manors, probably under the limitation to heirs male, and Sir Terry Robsart, their kinsman, was their tenant until 4 December 1498, when Edmund de la Pole, Earl of Suffolk, took possession.

As the Earl of Surrey, Howard fought for King Richard III at the Battle of Bosworth Field in 1485, following which he was imprisoned for several years before having his titles and estates restored. He continued in the service of the Tudor dynasty and was Lieutenant General of the North and largely responsible for the defeat of the Scots at the Battle of Flodden in 1513.

In 1514, Howard was restored to the dukedom of Norfolk which had been forfeit since 1485.

He died in 1524 and was buried in Thetford Priory. The priory was abandoned at the Dissolution of the Monasteries and while some of the Howard family tombs were moved to the St Michael the Archangel, Framlingham it is not known whether his tomb was moved also. Fragments of what is thought to be from his tomb were found during excavations.
Where his body now lies is not known for certain. A monumental brass depicting him was formerly in the Church of St. Mary at Lambeth so his body could have been moved to the Howard family chapel where many members of his family (including Anne Boleyn's mother) were interred.
However it is known that there are also four coffins in the tomb of the 3rd Duke of Norfolk at St Michael the Archangel, Framlingham so possibly the 2nd Duke and the 1st Duke of Norfolk were buried in the tomb of their descendant.

Dear Rosie, Jim, etc.

<"Robert Bacun" could be somehow connected to Edmund Bacon, 2nd husband

Copingers' "Manors of Suffolk" v. 5 indicates that Adam Bacon held the manor of Oulton in Suffolk. Adam married Margery, daughter of Simon Felton. His son was Edmund Bacon who married 1) Joan and 2) Margery Poynings. Copinger cites [I.Q.D., 7
Edw. II. File 94, 19].

Moor's "Knights of Edward I" indicates that this Edmund had a brother named John who served as the King's clerk and died in 1321. Possibly this is the John Bacun mentioned in Jim's post. I have not come across Robert Bacon.

Not much, but maybe another small piece of the puzzle.

Hal Bradley, 14 Jun 2003 ~1234 William de Felton ~1264 - 1314 Robert de Felton 50 50 BARONY OF FELTON (I)

SIR ROBERT DE FELTON, of Litcham, Norfolk, whose parentage is unknown.[b] On 17 March 1297/9 he had a grant in reward for his services in Flanders. He was in the Army of Scotland in 1298, and in 1300, being Constable of Lochmaben Castle in that year. He was again serving in Scotland in 1303 and 1310. He was Constable of Scarborough Castle 6 March I31I/2 to 31 March 1312. On 15 September 1312 the King granted him for life, for his good services, the manor of Shotwick, co. Chester,
which Roger Lestraunge had beld. He was summoned for Military Service, 9 October 1311, and to Parliament from 8 January 1312/3) to 26 November 1313, by writs directed Roberto de Felton', whereby he is held to have become LORD FELTON.

He married Hawise, daughter of Sir John LESTRAUNGE, [1st Lord Strange of Knockin], Salop, by Alianore, daughter of Eble de Montz, by Joan, widow of Stephen DE SOMERY, of Dudley, co. Worcester. She, who had the manor of Litcham in marriage, was living 16 May 1303. He died 24 June 1314, being slain at the battle of Bannockburn. [Complete Peerage V:289-90, XIV:318, (transcribed by Dave Utzinger)]

(b) He was probably br. of the contemporary Sir William de Felton, of Edlingham, who bore similar arms. Those of Robert were' Gules, two lions passant Ermine (Parliamentary Roll, no. 882 : &C.), derived from those of Lestraunge. The Felton whence this. family took its name was Felton by Knockin in the march of Wales, which was in the liberty of John Lestraunge of Knockin (Patent Poll, 32 Edw. I, M. 28 d). There is a Felton in Northumberland, near Edlingham, which latter manor Sir William de Felton (abovenamed) had purchased, but the family under consideration had no connection with this Felton.
