In 1140, or late in 1139, Stephen made a regrant of the town and castle of Hereford and of the whole earldom of Herefordshire to his supporter Robert de Beaumont, earl of Leicester, whose wife Amicia was the granddau. of William Fitzosbern. He granted de Beaumont to hold the town, castle, and county as freely as William Fitzosbern had done. There was no reservation of any of the
revenue from the city or the pleas of the county for the crown. De Beaumont, however, never entered into possession, and on 25 July 1141, Matilda created Miles of Gloucester earl of Hereford in reward for his services to her cause.
