General Notes

RALPH BASSET, son and heir of RaIoh Basset, of Sapcote, co. Leicester, was summoned to Parliament 24 December 1264, by writ directed Radulfo Basset de Sapcote. Such summons having issued in rebellion, should not, however, Constitute a peerage dignity, and none of his successors were summoned to Parliament till 1371. He was summoned cum equis et armis against the Welsh 24 May 1282.

He appears to have married, 1stly, (----). He married, 2ndly, 1231, Milicent, younger daughter and coheir of Robert of CHAUCOMBE., of Chalcombe, Northants, by Julian his wife. He died about 1282.  [Complete Peerage II:6, (transcribed by Dave Utzinger)]

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

"This feudal lord held the sheriffalty of Lincolnshire from the 25th to the 29th of Henry III, inclusive, and in four years after performed pilgimage to St. James in Galicia. In the 42nd of the same monarch he recieved command to attend the king at Chester, to repel the incursions of the Welsh, andhe was constituted in that year governor of Northampton Caslte. But after the battle of Lewes, being summoned to the parliament which the barons held in the king's name (49th Henry III.) he subsequently sided with Simon Montfort, Earl of Leicester, and fell with that ambitious noble at the battle of Evesham, on 4 August 1265. His lordship m. Milisent, one of the daus. andco-heiresses of Robert de Chaucombe, and was s. by his son, Ralph . . ." He was son of Simon Basset and the daughter of William Avenel.)

Note: The above text from Burke's Extinct Peerage is obviously somewhat wrong.  This Ralph, d. 1282, was son of another Ralph.  However I assume that Ralph's father Ralph may have been son of Simon Basset & Elizbbeth Avenel, as indicated by the above text.
