Until the division of the Clare estates between the heiresses had been settled, the lands were administered by the Crown. Bartholomew de Badlesmere was appointed keeper of Glamorgan and his treatment of the Welsh--in particular de Clare's former agent, Llywelyn Bren--led to many complaints. Morever, Badlesmere's replacement, Payn de Turberville, proved even worse. [Caerphilly Castle, p. 11]

Later that year Bartholomew's wife refused hospitatlity to Edward II of England's queen, Isabella, at his castle of Leeds in Kent. In retaliation, the king seized Leeds and, subsequently, Bartholomew's other castles. Bartholomew was hanged at Canterbury in 1322. [The Plantagenet Encyclopedia, p. 25]

Edward II, without informing his queen Isabella, the dau. of Philip IV le Bel, King of France, granted Leeds Castle to Bartholomew, 1st Lord Badlesmere, Lord Steward of the Household, an able and ambitious nobleman who later joined the conspiracies fo the northern barons. When Queen Isabella sought shelter for the night at Leeds Castle in the autumn of 1321, she was refused admission by the castellan who ordered his archers to fire on the royal party, killing several of her guards. The king's response was to raise a feudal levy of locan men and besiege the castle, which was capture on 1 November. Lord Badlesmere was taken the following year and beheaded. [Leeds Castle, p. 10]

In 1327 [sic] Bartholomew Badlesmere died possessed of the reversion of the manor of Drayton after the death of John L'Estrange, held of the heirs of Roger de Somer for 1/2 fee; Giles his son and heir was aged 16 years.
   It would make sense that his mother, Joan, was a le Strange and that his accumulation of lands and rights in the royal service (until his joining the Earl of Lancaster and paying for it with his life) and that Drayton Manor was also acquired by this route.
