Few families in the early annals of England can boast of a more eminent progenitor than the Bassets, and the desce ndants of few of the Anglo-Norman nobles attained a highe r degree of power than those of Ralph Basset (son of Thurst an, the Norman), who was justice of England under King Henr y I. We find his son Ralph, in the reign of Stephen, "aboun ding in wealth and erecting a strong castle upon some par t of his inheritance in Normandy." Ralph Basset, the justic e of England, required none of the artificial aids of ances try to attain distinction; he had within himself powers suf ficient at any period to reach the goal of honour, but part icularly to the rude age in which he lived. To his wisdom w e are said to be indebted for many salutary laws, and among others for that of frank pledge.  Like all the great men of his day, he was a most liberal benefactor to the church .  He d. in 1120, leaving issue, Thurstine, Thomas, Richard , Nicholas, and Gilbert.
