Udad ibn Mugawwan 1049 - 1099 Rodrigo Diez de Vivar 50 50 When Alfonso, deposed by his brother, Sancho II of Castile, returned to power in Castile as well Leon, he took on many of Sancho's retainers, including one Rodrigo Diaz (d. 1099). Rodrigo came to fall out of favor and in 1081 became a mercenary, fighting for both Christians and Moslems. After taking Valencia in 1094, he passed into legend as "El Cid", interestingly an Arabic title, Sid, "lord, master."


1063
Battle of Graus (Menendez, 1934). During the spring Ramiro I of Aragon besieges Muslim Graus in Zaragozan territory. The Emir Al-Muktadir of Zaragoza leads his army north accompanied by a Castilian contingent under Prince Sancho (the future Sancho II). Rodrigo Diaz de Vivar (later known as "El Cid") is probably in the Castilian contingent. The opposing armies meet and after a protracted struggle Ramiro I is killed and the Aragonese flee (8 May).

1067
The Castilian army under Sancho II and the Alferez Rodrigo Diaz de Vivar - already known as "El Cid" by this time - besiege Zaragoza (Menendez, 1934). The siege is lifted after Emir Al-Muqtadir pays a large ransom and promises tribute.

1068
The Battle of Llantada was arranged to be fought on 19 July by the banks of the Pisuerga River on the boundary between Leon and Castile (Menendez, 1934). The Castilians under Sancho II and Rodriego Diaz defeat the Leonese and Alfonso flees.

1072
Battle of Golpejera (early Jan) (Menendez, 1934). Sancho II of Castile defeats his brother, Alfonso VI of Leon over the Carrion River (9 miles south of the city of Santa maria de Carrion - the capital of the Beni-Gomez - Christian counts of Saldana, Liebana, Carrion, and Zamora). The battle starts at dawn and after a hard fight the Castilians are driven from the field. Rodrigo Diaz de Vivar manages to encourage both King and army, and leads them in a new attack the following morning.

1079
Battle of Cabra. Rodrigo Diaz, defeats the Emir Abd Allah of Granada, who was helped by the Castilian Count Garcia Ordonez.

1082
Battle of Almenar (Menendez, 1934). Rodrigo Diaz "El Cid" de Vivar, leading the army of Al-Mutamin of Zaragoza, defeats a combined army of the kings of Valencia (Al-Mundhir), Lerida (Al-Hayib), Aragon (Sancho Ramirez) and the Count of Barcelona (Berenguer Ramon II - who is captured).

Known as the most beautiful woman in Wales. She had many lovers. In Christmas 1108 Owain ap Cadwgan of Cardigan came to visit Gerald and Nesta. He so lusted after her that he, that night, attacked the castle and carried her off and had his way with her. This upset Henry I [King of England] so much that the incident started a war.

She was thedaughter of the last king of indenpendent Deheubarth, she was themistress of Henry I, king of England,and had a son by him Robert DeCarn, Earl of Dorchester and Gloucester.

NOTE: "His lordship left by Adeliza, his wife, widow of King Henry I, four sons and three daughters, the eldest of whom, Alice, m. John, Earl of Ewe. The eldest son, William de Albini, 2nd earl, had a grant from the crown, 23rd Henry II [1177-78], of the Earldom of Sussex, and in the 1st of Richard I [1189-90], had a confirmation from that prince of the castle and honour of Arundel, as also of the Tertium Denarium of the county of Sussex.

[Sir Bernard Burke, Dormant, Abeyant, Forfeited, and Extinct Peerages, Burke's Peerage, Ltd., London, 1883, p. 3, Albini, Earls of Arundel]

All other sources that I've found say that the William who m. Maud de St. Hillary was the son of William, the 1st Earl, and Adeliza. I have, thus, compressed this pedigree by omitting the intervening William who Burke styles 2nd earl.

We can go back through an unbroken succession of ten centuries in length to the first known of the name Roger de Montgomery, who was Count of Montgomery before the coming of Rollo the Dane into Normandy in 912. A native of Neustria himself, his ancestors were probably for many generations back natives of that province, which, when conquered by the Northmen, was afterwards known as Normandy. The earlier generations of the Montgomeries took their surname from the early appanage of the family, the County of Montgomery. This custom was common with all families dating back to that era, family names with but few exceptions having a local derivation. The County of Montgomery in France is situated in the Pays d'Auge and consists of several baronies and about 150 fiefs and arriere fiefs, dependent on the bailiwicks of Argentan, Caen, Alencon and the Viscounty of Trau. The House of Montgomery was well known and its members took a leading part in the affairs of France and Normandy, and also in England for several centuries before the Domesday Survey. ~1105 - ~1162 Dreux de Mouchy 57 57 ABT 1101/1105 Adelaide ~1082 - ~1153 Dreux de Mouchy 71 71 ~1060 - 1136/1146 Dreux de Mouchy ~1060 Richilds de Clermont ABT 1025/1031 Ermentrude ABT 1237/1250 de Meisnilhermer ABT 1212/1225 William de Meisnilhermer ABT 1110/1114 - >1184 Iowerth ap Owain Wan 1009 - 1086 Turlogh Mor Munster 77 77 Roger de Montgomery <1065 Kealrach Mor O'Hyne <0999 - 1022 Thaddeus Donald Munster 23 23 <0994 - >1009 Mo'r O'Mulloy 15 15 <0983 Eachraidh Note: She was not a daughter of king Cerball of Osraige (Ossory). The name of the father of Echrad has sometimes been erroneously give as Cerball, an error that is due to the fact that the name Cerball has sometimes been Anglicized as "Charles" (also erroneously). Thus, some have falsely "corrected" the name Carrlus (the middle Irish form of Charles) to Cerball, on the assumption that it had been incorrectly Anglicized. However, the name Carrlus is a genuine name that appears in the Irish sources from the ninth century on (probably as a borrowing from the Norse, or, less likely, in imitation of Charlemagne), and there is no need to make this false "correction" to the name of Echrad's father. The error that Echrad's father was Cerball of Osraige is apparently another blunder added to this original mistake. -- Stewart Baldwin (Edited) <0855 Flathnia O'Flaherty <0840 Fianngall O'Flaherty <0825 Flann Florence Robhadh Arms of O'Flaherty is: Ar, two lions ramp, combatant, supporting a dexter [right] hand couped at the wrist all gul.

Even in the annals of Ireland, it would be hard to find a nobler record than
the O'Byrnes of Wicklow. Through a long line of warriors and chieftains, they
were eminently distinguished for devotion to the sacred cause of Faith and
Country. High-souled in their patriotism, fearless and fierce in the defense
of their Nation's rights, proud of their race, and intensely attached to the
mountain crags and exquisitely picturesque glens of their ancient patrimony,
they, during centuries of wrong, persecution, plunder and perfidity, held
their ground invincibly and fought against their ruthless oppressors with
courage indomitable and fortitude heroic. Their motto "Certavi et vici" was
truly appropriate. The love of freedom "bequeathed from bleeding sire to son..
." burned so fiercely in their hearts, that it can scarcely be considered an
exaggeration to say, they contended for four hundred years unconquered. It
was almost as natural for them to fight as ti was to breathe, and in a sense,
as necessary. Because they were perpetually assailed, and every element of
force and every base subterfuge, that fiendish minds could conceive, were made
available to ruin and annihilate them, by nature dauntless and combative, yet
merciful and humane [and by the treachery of perfidious enemies obliged to be
ever watchful], it may be believed that they almost slept with their
battle-axes grasped, at all times ready to spring at the foe, repel
aggression, aid their kinsmen, and jealously guard their stronghold, wooded
hills and crystal-watered valleys of the beauteous region which they ruled and
loved.
Not only do they figure prominently in the pages of Irish history, but their
deeds and exploits have furnished touching themes for song and story. Threat
and overture, they spurned with equal contempt; and to their eternal honor it
is stated that there was never "a king's or a queen's O'Bryne" and that they
were the very last of the Irish clans to yield to the demonic Saxons. Arms:

. "Eochu (or Eochaid) Guinech, king of Ui Bairrche, said [AI, CS] to have
killed Crimthann mac Ennai Chennselaig, king of Laigin (see #4587968)
[CGH.117a=LL337f (Rw.6, CGH.6); R.121a=LL.313b=Lec.87b=BB.126aa
(Rw.180, CGH.46)] [Note: The names Eochu and Eochaid have been
frequently confused, even in the early sources, and it is not clear which
one is correct. The official genealogy then proceeds to make Eochu a son
of Oengus, son of Mac Ercca, son of Breccan, son of Fiacc, son of Daire
Barrach (eponym of the Ui Bairrche), son of Cathair Mar, of whom the last
two can be regarded as certainly mythological. (See, for example, EIHM
pp. 36-8). An Eochu Guinech also appears as a son of Daire Barrach in the
Ui Bairrche genealogies [R.121a (Rw.181, CGH.46)], suggesting confusion,
and it is difficult to accept the genealogy prior to Eochu. The Leinster
king list [LL.39b] states that Eochu was the maternal grandson of
Crimthann (the king of Leinster whom he killed). However, since CS,
under the year 487, names Eochaid Guinech as one of the victors in a
battle in which Oengus mac Nad Froich (king of Munster) and his wife
Eithne (daughter of Crimthann mac Ennai) fell, it is possible that
confusion between Oengus of Ui Bairrche (father of Eochu in the official
genealogy) and Oengus of Munster has led to confusion here. While
possible, more evidence is desirable before the claimed relationship
between Eochu and Crimthann can be accepted.] "
Crundmael Erbuilc mac Ronain Failend ingen Suibne Ronan mac Coluim Ui Chennselaig Columb mac Cormaic Cormac mac Nath ~0460 Nath de Leinster Nath [Nathach] was the second of Crimthann's 8 children. He was baptized in infancy by Saint Patrick, and was King of Leinster for 10 years. ~0425 - 0483/0484 Crimthann de Leinster Note: Crimthann was supposedly 20 years of age when he became King. He was the third of Eanna's 8 children. He was king of Leinster for 40 years. He was baptized by Saint Patrick about 448 at Rathvilly. Crimthann Cass was slain by his grandson, Eochaidh Guinech of the Hy-Bairche. ~0425 Meld Dessi ~0400 Ennae Cennselach Leinster Eanna was also known as "Ceann-Salach" [unclean head], and was so called by Cednathech the Druid, whom he slew at Cruacxhan Cleanta [Croghan Hill, in the King's County]. Eanna was the elder of Labhradh's two sons. He defeated Eochaidh Muigh Meadhoin [Eocy Moyvone], the Monarch, in 365 at Croghan HIll in the King's County. 1005 - 1052 Hugh de Ponthieu 47 47 Count of Ponthieu ~0404 Conang ABT 0395/0414 - 0484 Ernbrand ABT 0370/0396 Nia Dessi ABT 0345/0368 Brion na Munster ~0328 Eogan Brecc na Munster Suibne mac Commain 0525 Colman mac Cobthaig Cobthach <0874 - 0917 Niall 43 43 Niall reigned as the 170th Monarch of Ireland from 914 to 917. He had many
conflicts with the Danes in which generally he was victorious At length,
making up a great army, in order to besiege Dublin, a great battle was fought
between them in which the Monarch lost his life, and his army was later routed
in 919. From this Monarch, the surname O'Neill or Clan-na-Neil, Neilson, and
Nilson are derived. Niall Glundubh attained to the monarchy in 914 after the
death of Flan Siona, King of Meath. He died in battle near Dublin.

The following passage from one of the many "Lamentations" written by the Irish
bards after this Monarch's death, shows the affections entertained for him by
his people. Sorrowful this day in sacred Ireland
Without a valiant chief of 'hostage' reign;
It is to see the heavens without a sun,
To view Magh Neill without Niall.

"Magh Neill" here mentioned, signifies the Place of Niall - meaning no doubt,
the "O'Neill Land" forming the two baronies of that name in Armagh, which
constituted the ancient patrimony of Hy-Niallain, or the descendants of
Niallan, who was collaterally descended in the fifth degree from
Colla-da-Chrioch, whose heraldic emblem was "The Red Hand of Ulster".
<0839 - 0876 Aodh 37 37 Aodh was the 168th Milesian Monarch of Ireland from 860 to 876. During his reign, he fought and defeated the Danes in several battles and was worsted in others. 1005 Berta d'Aumale 0838/0855 Mary <0804 - 0844 Niall 40 40 Nialle "Caille", so called because he drowned in the River Caillen was the 166th Milesian Monarch of Ireland from 831 to 844. He fought many battles with the Danes and the Norwegians, in most of which, although the Danes were worsted, yet the continual supplies pouring unto them made them formidable - so much so, that in this reign, they took and fortified Dublin and other strongholds along the coast. <0819 Gormfhlaith <0757 - 0817 Aodh Ordnigh 60 60 Aodh ruled as the 164th Milesian Monarch of Ireland from 792 to 817. In his
reign prodigious thunder and lightning occurred which killed 1010 people,
particularly in a nook between Corcavaskin and the sea of Munster. Danish
invasions soon after followed his reign. "Ten years with cour score and seven
hundred was the age of Christ when the Pagans went to Irelan". The Vikings or
Danes, having been defeated in Glamorganshire in Wales, invaded Ireland in the
reign of this Monarch. In 798, he ravaged the Isle of Man, and the Hebrides
in Scotland. In 802, they burned "Hi Colum Cille". In 807, for the first
time in Ireland, they marched inland. In 812 and 813, they made raids in
Connaught and Munster. After 30 years of predatory warfare, Turgesius, a
Norwegian Prince, established himself as sovereign of the Vikings, and made
Armagh his headquarters in 830. Sometimes, the Danish chiefs mustered all
their forces and left the island for brief periods to raid the shores of
England or Scotland. Wild, Brave and cruel, they always returned to inflict
new barbarities on the unfortunate Irish. Turgesius appropriated the abbeys
and the churches in the country and placed an abbot of his own in each
monastery.
A Danish captain was placed in charge of each village, and each family was
obliged to maintain a soldier of that nation, who made himself master of the
house. All education was strictly forbidden, and books were burned, and the
poets and historians were drowned or imprisoned or driven into the woods or
mountains. n 948, the Danes were converted to Christianity, and at that time
possessed Dublin, Limerick, Wexford and Waterford. He was slain in the Battle
of Fearta.
<0777 Meadhbh de Durlus <0707 - 0773 Niall Frassach 66 66 Niall ruled as the 162nd Milesian Monarch of Ireland from 758 to 765 at which time he retired to St. Columb's Monastery in Scotland. <0730 Bridget <0688 - 0718 Fargal 30 30 Fargal was the 156th Milesain Monarch of Ireland and ruled from 708 to 718.

He was the 143rd Monarch of Ireland and ruled from 600 to 607. He had frequent wars, but at length defeated his enemies in the Battle of Odhbha, in which Conall <0642 Maolfreach <0672 Cein O'Connor <0757 Ionrachtach <0799 Donogh <0872 Suilebhan de Munster <0827 Maolura de Munster <0781 Moghtigern de Munster 0987 - 1052 Adela 65 65 Countess of Ghent <0736 Morogh de Munster <0690 Dubhinracht de Munster ~0645 Flann Noba de Munster <0599 Fiachra an Gaircedh de Munster <0554 Seachnasagh de Munster <0508 Fingin de Munster Fingin reigned as the 14th Christian King of Munster. From Fingin descended
the O'Suilebhain fmaily anglicised O'Sullivan and Sullivan. The root of this
surname is the Irish Suil "the eyes" which is derived from the ancient Irish
"sul" from the Lattin sol because the eye is the light of the body. The old
Irish called Sunday Dia Suil before the Christians callid Dia Domhnaigh [ The
Lord's Day].

According to O'Heerin's Topography, the O'Sullivans, before they settled in
Kerry, were princes of Eoghanacht, Mor, Cnoc-Graffan, a territory in the
Barony of Middlethird, county Tipperary, which is said to have embraced the
districts of Clonmel, Cahir, Clogheen, Carrick-on-suir, and Cashel of the
kings, in the fifth and sixth centuries.
<0462 Aodh Dubh de Munster <0417 Crimthann de Munster <0372 Felim de Munster Felim was the 2nd Christian King of Munster <0333 Aongus de Munster Aongus was the 1st Christian King of Munster. He had 24 sons and 24
daughters, whereof he devoted to the service of God one half of both sexes.
When this King was baptized by Saint Patrick, the Saint offering to fasten his
staff or Corizer on the ground, accidently happened to pierce the foot of
Aenaes [Aongus] through, whereby he lost much blood. However, thinking it to
be part of the ceremony [of baptism], he patiently endured it until the Saint
had finished. He ordained three pence per annum from every person that should
be baptized throughout Munster, to be paid to Saint Patrick and the Church in
manner following: 500 cows, 500 stone of iron, 500 shirts, 500 coverlets, and
500 sheep every third year. He reigned 36 years, at the end whereof, he and
his wife, Eithne, were slain.

Scotland, where he married Mong-Fionn, daughter of King Fionn Cormac of the
Picts [who, in Irish, are callend "Cruithneach" or "Cruithneans"]. By her, he
had several sons including Main Leamhnaa, who remained in Scotland, and who
was the ancestor of Mor Mhaor Leamhna, the great Stewards of Lennox, from whom
are descended the Kings of Scotland and England of the Stewart and Stuart
dynasties. This Corc, although never converted to Christianity, was one of
the three Kings or Princes appointed by the triennial parliament held at Tara
in Saint Patrick's time, "to review, examine, and reduce into order all the
mounments of anticquity, genealogies and chronicles and records of the
kingdom"; the other two being Daire or Darius, a Prince of Ulster, and Leary
the Monarch. Whith these three were associated for that purpose, Saint
Partick, Saint Benignus, Saint Carioch. Together with Dubhthach, Fergus, and
Rosse Mac Trichinn, the chief antiquaried of Ireland. From Corc, the city of
Cork is called. Corc was the eldest son of Lughaidh.
<0272 Mong Fionn <0217 Lughaidh de Munster <0192 Olioll Flann-beag de Munster Olioll, King of Munster reigned for 30 years, had an older brother Poioll Flann-Mor. This brother, having no issue, adopted his younger brother to be his heir on the condition that his name be inserted in the pedigree as the father of Olioill Flann-beag, and so early pedigrees show. <0166 Fiacha de Munster <0144 Owen Mo'r Munster <0129 Olioll Olum macMogha Olioll Olum, King of Munster (O. Olum, King of Ireland) became King of Munster
by his wife. He was the first of this line named in the Regal Roll to be King
of both Munsters. For before him, there were two septs that were alternately
Kings of Munster, until this Olioll married Sabina, daughter of the Mornarch
Conn of the Hundred Battles, and widow of Mac Niadh, Chief of the other sept
of Darin, descended from Ithe, and by whom she had one son named Lughaidh,
commonly called "Luy Maccon". Lughaidh, when he came to man's age, demanded
from Olioll his stepfather, the benefit of the agreement formerly made between
their ancestors, which Olioll not only refused to grant, but he also banished
Maccon out of Ireland. Maccon retired to Scotland where, among his many
friends and relations, he soon collected a strong party, returned with them to
Ireland, and with the help and assistance of the rest of his scept, he made
war on Olioll. On Olioll's side was Olioll's brother-in-law, Art-Ean-Fhear,
then Monarch of Ireland who came with a good army. They fought the great
battle of Magh Mucromha (or Muckgrove), near athenry, where the Monarch Art,
together with seven of Plioll's nine sons, by Sabina, lost their lives and
their army was totally defeated and routed. By this great victory Maccon not
only recovered his right to the Kingdom of Munster, but the Monarchy also,
wherein he maintained himself for 30 years, leaving the Kingdom of Munster to
his stepfather Oliool Olum, undisturbed. After the battle, Olioll, having but
two sons left alive, namely Cormac-Cas and Cian, and being very old, settled
his kingdom upon Cormac, the elder son of the two. But soon after being
informed that Owen Mo'r, his eldest son (who was slain in the Battle of Magh
Mucromha),had, by a Druid's daughter issue, named Feach (Fiacha Maolleathan),
born after him Cormac's son and their posterity to continue by turns. This
arrangement was observed by them for many generations, sometimes dividing the
Kingdom between them, by the name of South or North Munster, or Desmond and
Thomond.
0129 Sabh Sabina Munster 0969 Gisella Capet <0093 Eoghan Mo'r Mogh Lamba Eoghan Mo'r, King of Munster (Eoghan Mo'r, King of Ireland or Nuadhad).
Eoghan was called Eoghan Taidleach or Owen the Spledid. He was maternally
descended from the Clan-na-Deaga. The Clan-na-Deaga or Ernans were becoming
so powerful at the time that they nearly assumed the entire sovereignty of
Munster - to the exclusion of the race of Heber. This Eoghan (Owen) was a
wise and politic Prince and Great Warrior. From him, Magh-Nuadhad (now
Maynooth) is so called, where a great battle was fought between him and Conn
of the Hundred Battles, the 110th Monarch of Ireland, in A.D. 122. They
fought continual wars until at last, he forced him to divide the Kingdom with
him into two equal parts by the boundary of Esker Riada - a long ridge of
hills from Dublin to Galway, determining the south part for himself which he
then called Leath Mogha (Mogha's half, as the north part was called Leath
Cuinn (Connn's half). The agreement also required Conn to give his daughter,
Sadhbh (Sabina) in marriage to his eldest son Olioll Olum. But Owen No'r was
afterwards defeated and forced to flee to Spain, where he lived for some time
in exile. There, he also entered into a confederacy with Fraoch, his
brother-in-law, who was Prince of Castile. They collected a powerful army
with which they landed in Ireland to recover the sovereignty from Conn of the
Hundred Battles. Both armies fought a tremendous battle on the plain of
Moylena, in which Conn was victorious and Owen Mo'r was slain. This battle
was fought in the ancient barony of Fircall, in the King's County, where there
are still to be seen, two hillocks or sepulchral mounds, in one of which was
buried Owen Mo'r, and in the other the body of Fraoch, the Spaniard who was

Clan-na-Deaghaid settled in Munster a short time before the Christian Era.
They were named "Degadians" from Deagadh or Deadha, their chief, and "Ernans"
from Olioll Earon, being expelled from Ulster by the race of Ir (or the
Clan-na-Rory) went to Munster, where they were favorably received and had
lands allotted to them by Duach. According to various historians, the

The Kingdom of Munster (in Irish "Mumha", "Mumhan" and Mumhain") derived its
name from Eochaidh Mumha who was King of Munster and the 19th Monarch of
Ireland. Munster is Latinized "Monomia". Ancient Munster comprised the present counties of Tipperary, Waterford, Cork, Kerry, Limerick and part of Kilkenny; to which in the latter part of the Third Century was added the territory now forming the County of Clare by Lughaidh Meann, King of Munster of the Race of the Dalcassians who took it from Connaught and added it to Munster. Ancient Munster is mentioned under the following divisions: Tudah Mumhan or North Munster, Angliszed Thumond, Deas Mumhan or South Munster, rendered "Desmond", Urmhumha or East Munster rendered "Ormond" and Iar Mumhan or West Munster.

Thomond, under its ancient kings extended from the Isles of Arran, off the
coast of Gallway to the mountains of Eibline, near Cashel in Tipperary, thence to Cairn Feareadaigh, now Knock-Aine in the County Limerick, and from Leim Chucullian (or Cuchullin's Leap) now Loop-Head at the mouth of the River
Shannon in the County of Clare to Sliabh-Dala mountains in Ossory on the
borders of Tipperary, Kilkenny and Queen's County; thus comprising the present counties of Clare and Limerick with the greater part of Tipperary; but in after times, Thomond was confined to County Clare. Ancient Ormond extended from Gabhran (now Gowran) in the County of Kilkenny, westward to Cnamhchoill or Cleathchoill near the town of Tipperary and from Bearnan Eile (now Barnanelly) a parish in the County of Tipperary (in which is situated the Devils' Bit Mountain) and from thence southward to Oilcan Ur-Bhric or O'Bric's Island near Bonmahon on the coast of Waterford. Desie or Desies was an ancient territory comprising the greater part of Waterford with a part of
Tipperary and got its name from the Tribe of the Deisigh, also called Desii.
These Desii were descended from Fiacha Suidhe, a brother of the Monarch Conn
of the Hundred Battles. Desmond comprised the whole for the present County of Cork and the greater part of Kerry, together with a portion of Waterford and a small part of the south of Tipperary bordering on Cork, called the Eoghanact Caisil; thus extending from the Bradnon Mountain, in the Barony of
Corcaguiney, County Kerry, to the River Blackwater near Lismore in the County
Waterford. But later, under the Fitzgeralds, Earls of Desmond, this territory was confined to the baronies of Bear and Bantry and other portions of the south-west of Cork together with parts of Kerry south of the River Mang. West Munster: The north-western part of Kerry, with a large portion of Limerick extending to the Shannon, and comprising the present baronies of Upper and Lower Connello, was called Iar Mumhan. This territory is connected with some of the earliest events in Irish history.

Partholan, who planted the first colony in Ireland, sailed from Greece through Muir Toirian (the ancient Irish name of the Mediterranean Sea and landed on the coast of Ireland at Inver Sceine, now the Bay of Kenmare in Kerry.

Eochaidh was the 17th Milseian Monarch of Ireland. His reign began in the
year 1492 BC and ended in the year 1472 BC when Fiacha Lamhraein began his
BEF 1698 BC - ABT 1620 BC Conmaol Conmaol, King of Ireland was the 12th Milesian Monarch of Ireland. His reign began in the year 1650 BC and ended in 1620 BC at which time Tighearnmas became the 13th Monarch. BEF 1719 BC - 1698 BC Heber Fionn Heber Fionn (Heber Fionn, King of Ireland) was the first Milesian Monarch of
Ireland, cojointly with his brother Heremon. From Heber, the eldest brother,
are descended the provincial kings of Munster (of whom 88 were sole Monarch of Ireland), and most of the mobility and gentry of Munster and many noble
families of Scotland. Heber and Heremon were the Chief leading men remaining
of the eight sons of Milesuis. They divided the kingdom between them
(allotting a portion of land to their brother Amergin, who served as their
Arhc-priest, Durid and Magician; and to their nephew, Heber Donn, and to the
rest of their chief commanders).

The two brothers became the first of 184 Kings or Sole Monarchs of the Gaelic, Milesian, or Scottish race, that ruled or governed Ireland from the first year of their reign in Anno Mundi 3500, to the submission to the Crown of England in the person of King Henry the Second, who, being also of the Milesian Race by Maude his mother, was lineally descended from Fergu Mo'r MacEarca, first King of Scotland, who was descended from Heremon. Thus, the Irish can claim a royal bloodline which lasted from the year 1699 BC to the present time. Heber and Heremon ruled jointly for one year only, when, upon a difference between their ambitious wives, they quarreled and fought a battle at Ardcath or Geshill (Geashill, near Tullamore in the King's County), where Heber was slain by Heremon. The Milesians of the race of Heber Fionn possessed the greater part of Munster. The descendants of Ithe, the Uncle of Milesius of Spain, also possessed in early times a great part of that province. The race of Heber furnished most of the Kings of Munster and many of them also were Monarchs of Ireland. the Heberians were called "Deirgtheine", after one of their ancient kings of that name. The Ithians were called "Dairine", from one of their Kings so named.

Heber Fionn is presumed to have been at least 10 years of age when he was killed.
0089 Heber de Castile 0110 - 0157 Conn Ceadchadhach 47 47 Conn reigned for 20 years. He was also known as Conn "of the Hundred
Battles", Conn, King of Munster and Constantine Centimachus. He was the 110th
Monarch of Ireland.

Conn was also known as Constantine Centimachus. Having succeeded Cahir Mor
[the 109th], King of Leinster whom he slew in 123, Conn had long and fierce
contests with Eoghan [Owen] Mor [Olioll Olum's father] for the sovereignty of
the country. Conn fought 100 battles against the Ulsterians and 100 battles
more in Munster. They at length agreed to divide the Kingdom between them by
a line drawn direct from Dublin to Galway. The northern half, consisting of
the Kingdoms of Meath, Ulster and Connaught being Conn's share and thence
called Leath Cuinn [Conn's Half(of Ireland)]; and the southern portion,
including the Kingdoms of Leinster, and Munster being allotted to Owen Mor or
Mogha Nuadhad as he was called, and named Leath Mogha. This division was long
recognized thereafter. Conn had two brothers Eochaidh Fionn-Fohart and Fiacha
Suidhe; who to make way for themselves murdered two of their brother's sons
named Conla Ruadh and Crionna. They were banished by the third son, Art
Eanfhear, first into Leinster and then into Munster, where they lived near
Cashel.

They were seated at Deici Teamhrach [now the Barony of Desee in Meath], whence
they were expelled by the Monarch Cormac Ulfhada, son of Art. After various
wanderings, they went to Munster where Oilioll Olum, who was married to
Sadhbh, daughter of Conn of the Hundred Battles, gave them a large district of
the present County of Waterford, a part of which is still called Na-Deiseacha,
or the Baronies of Desies.

They also were given the countries comprised in the present baronies of
Clonmel, Upper-Third, and Middle-Third, in County Tipperary, which they held
until the Anglo-Norman Invasion.

Conn was barbarously slain by Tiobraidhe Tireach, son of Mal, son of
Rochruidhe, King of Ulster. This murder was committed when Conn chanced to be
alone and unattended by his guards. The assassins were 50 ruffians, disguised
as women, whom the King of Ulster employed for the purpose.

And Dafydd then married the king's sister, Emma of Anjou, - because he thought he could hold his territory in peace thereby. But before the end of the year Rhodri escaped and drove his brother from Anglesey and across the Conway. And Rhys ap Gruffudd took with him to the king's council at Gloucester all the princes of Wales who had incurred the king's displeasure. All those returned with Rhys, having obtained peace, to their own lands.

And immediately after that Seisyll ap Dyfnwal was slain through treachery in the castle of Abergavenny by the lord of Brycheiniog. And along with him Geoffrey, his son, and the best men of Gwent were slain. And the French made for Seisyll's court; and after seizing Gwladus, his wife, they slew Cadwaladr, his son. And from that day there befell a pitiful massacre in Gwent. And from that time forth, after that treachery, none of the Welsh dared place trust in the French. [Chronicle of Ystrad Fflur]

Brochfael of the Tusks presumably had very big teeth! He lived in the early 6th century, and the famous Taliesin was his bard for a time. Brochfael is particularly known for an incident involving St. Melangell. This stunning young woman had taken to the life of a hermit, living in a small cell in the Powys wilds. One day, Brochfael was out hunting a hare when the creature made for Melangell's hermitage and hid in her skirts.The dogs would not attack, and the King became so enamoured of the lady's pious beauty that he asked her to marry him. She humbly declined, so Brochfael gave her land to build a monastery instead. He should not be identified with the Commander of Caer-Legion, of the same name, who died at the great battle there in 613. Brochfael of Powys was buried at Pentrefoelas in Gwynedd where the grave of a six foot man, with a covering slab bearing the name 'Brohomagli' has been uncovered.

Cadell's son, Cyngen the Renowned, is probably to be identified with the Aurelius Caninus denounced by Gildas in his late 5th century tract, DeExcidio BrianniÌ. This name is a rather bad punning insult that means 'dog-like'. Gildas accused Aurelius-Cyngen of immorality and murder and causing Civil War in Britain. Later generations, however, appear to have only remembered his patronage of the saints and generous endowments to the church. What is probably his memorial stone was discovered being used as a gatepost in Tywyn (Gwynedd) in 1761. He was apparently buried with St. Cadfan in the local churchyard.

He hid himself amongst thepeasants of Powys and became a servant of the Irish chieftain, Benlli,hoping, one day, to find an opportunity to retrieve his inheritance. Hischance arose when St.Germanus of Auxerre visited Britain, probably forthe second time in 447, to combat the Pelagian heresy. Travelling intothe Midlands, St.Germanus heard of the pagan Irish stronghold and, withhis many followers, laid siege to the
Powysian capital. Cadell showedthem what modest hospitality he could, in his rural hovel outside thecity walls. Germanus eventually had a dreadful premonition and advisedCadell to
remove all his family from within the city walls. That night,the Royal palace was struck by lightning. The resulting fire spreadquickly and all within the city were burnt alive. The young Cadell wasthus restored to his throne. It is unclear, where the kingdom's capitalwas at the time, though archaeological evidence points to Caer Guricon(Wroxeter, Shropshire). The town was occupied well into the 6th century,and an ancient memorial stone bearing the Irish name,
Cunorix, has beendiscovered here. Cadell apparently died quite young. [David Nash Ford,Early British Kingdoms, Biographies of the Kings of Powys]

Catigern).Cadeyrn was nominally a King of Powys, though how
much independence hewould have had from his father's
high-kingdom is unclear. The area wascertainly the homeland of
the Vorteneu family and therefore it was givento Vortigern's
eldest surviving son. As a young man, Cadeyrn had
metSt.Germanus probably during his first visit to Britain in
429. The saintblessed him and, ever since, he was given the
name Fendigaid or 'theBlessed'. Cadeyrn was a warrior king who
led the British troops at theBattle of Rithergabail (Aylesford,
Kent) in 447, after his brother'srevolt against their father

played afairly important role in the political and military
events of the earlyfourth century. The regular form of his full
name is Flavius IuliusCrispus, although the forms Flavius
Claudius Crispus and Flavius ValeriusCrispus also occur. His
mother was a woman named Minervina, with whomConstantine had a
relationship, probably illegitimate, before he marriedFausta in
307. When Minervina died or when Constantine put her aside wedo
not know. Nor do we know when she gave birth to Crispus; we
mayassume, of course, that it was before 307. Some modern
authorities, ongood grounds, think that it was in 305. Crispus'
place of birth must havebeen somewhere in the East, and it is
not known when he was brought toGaul and when, where, or under
what circumstances he was separated fromhis mother. Constantine
entrusted the education of his son to thedistinguished
Christian scholar Lactantius, thereby giving a clear signof his
commitment to Christianity. We are not told when
Lactantiusassumed his duties, but a date before 317 seems
likely. Nor do we knowhow successful he was in instilling
Christian beliefs and values in hisimperial pupil. No later
than January of 322 Crispus must have married awoman named
Helena -- not to be confused with Constantine's mother
ordaughter by the same name - and this woman bore him a child
in October of322. Constantine, we learn, was pleased. Crispus'
official career began at an early age and is well documented.
OnMarch 1 of 317, at Serdica (modern Sofia), his father
appointed himCaesar. The consulship was his three times, in
318, 321, and 324. Whilenominally in charge of Gaul, with a
prefect at his side, he successfullyundertook military
operations against the Franks and Alamanni in 320 and323. In
324, during the second war between Constantine and Licinius,
heexcelled as commander of Constantine's fleet in the waters of
theHellespont, the Propontis, and the Bosporus, thus making a
significantcontribution to the outcome of that war. The high
points of his careerare amply reflected in the imperial
coinage. In addition to coins, wehave his portrait, with
varying degrees of certainty, in a number ofsculptures,
mosaics, cameos, etc. Contemporary authors heap praises
uponhim. Thus the panegyrist Nazarius speaks of Crispus'
'magnificent deeds,'and Eusebius calls him 'an emperor most
dear to God and in all regardscomparable to his father.'
Crispus' end was as tragic as his career had been brilliant.
His ownfather ordered him to be put to death. We know the year
of this sadevent, 326, from the Consularia Constantinopolitana,
and the place, Polain Istria, from Ammianus Marcellinus. The
circumstances, however, areless clear. Zosimus (6th c.) and
Zonaras (12th c.) both report thatCrispus and his stepmother
Fausta were involved in an illicitrelationship. There may be as
much gossip as fact in their reports, butit is certain that at
some time during the same year the emperor orderedthe death of
his own wife as well, and the two cases must be
consideredtogether. That Crispus and Fausta plotted treason is
reported by Gregoryof Tours, but not very believable. We must
resolutely reject the claim ofZosimus that it was Constantine's
sense of guilt over these deeds whichcaused him to accept
Christianity, as it alone promised him forgivenessfor his sins.
A similar claim had already been made by Julian theApostate. We
must also, I think, reject the suggestion of Guthrie thatthe
emperor acted in the interest of 'dynastic legitimacy,' that
is, thathe removed his illegitimate first-born son in order to
secure thesuccession for his three legitimate younger sons. But
Crispus must havecommitted, or at least must have been
suspected of having committed, someespecially shocking offense
to earn him a sentence of death from his ownfather. He also
suffered damnatio memoriae, his honor was never restored,and
history has not recorded the fate of his wife and his child
(orchildren). [Copyright (C) 1997, Hans A. Pohlsander]
---------- Crispus Caesar, in full FLAVIUS JULIUS CRISPUS (d.
326, Pola, Venetia),Constantine the Great's eldest son,
executed under mysteriouscircumstances on his father's orders.
His mother, Minerva (orMinervina), was divorced by Constantine
in 307. Crispus received hiseducation from the Christian writer
Lactantius Firmianus. On March 1,317, Constantine gave Crispus
the title of caesar and made him titularruler of Gaul. In the
second war between Constantine and his co-emperorLicinius
(324), Crispus commanded his father's fleet and won an
importantnaval victory in the Hellespont. But in 326, while
accompanyingConstantine to Rome to celebrate the 20th
anniversary of his accession,he was put to death at Pola.
Shortly afterward his stepmother, Fausta,was also executed.

~0305 Conan Meriadoc Brittany was originally called Armorica after the Celtic tribe
who livedthere during the Pre-Roman & Gallo-Roman periods. The
British firstsettled the area in the late 380s when the
Roman-British general, MagnusMaximus, invaded Gaul in order to
press his claims to the Imperialthrone. As a reward for his
help in this matter, Maximus gave Armorica tohis wife's cousin,
Conan Meriadoc. Conan supposedly populated his new kingdom with
his armed followers but,of course, they were woefully short of
female companions. Conan sent backto Britain for wives, not
only for his men, but for himself also. A stormprevented the
ladies from reaching Brittany, so Conan's men were forcedto
undertake mixed marriages with the local inhabitants. However,
toensure that their children only spoke the British language,
the soldier'scut out their wives' tongues! Later waves of
newcomers from Britain bolstered the population, and
theimmigrant leaders often set up their own petty kingdoms
orprincipalities, such as Poher: a minor principaility that
appears to havechanged hands rather a lot, particularly between
the Franks and BritishKings still ruling on the mainland. Conan
ruled across Brittany, but thecentre of his power appears to
have been in the Vannetais. In latergenerations, the Kingdom
was divided amongst his descendants: the elderbranch became
Princes of Cornouaille, while a younger dynasty ruled
inDomnonée. The origins of Broñrec (Vannetais) are unclear,
though it wasnamed after a 5th century prince called Waroc.
Later times brought several periods of civil war, as the
successionbecame unclear and different lords vied for the upper
hand. This wasparticularly true after the death of Alain II Hir
(the Tall) in 690.Short-lived stability returned with the House
of Dremrud, but soonevaporated again before being finally
restored with Frankish help at thebeginning of the 9th century.
Around a hundred years later, the Kingdomwas reduced to a
Duchy, though it didn't finally lose its independenceuntil
after Anne, the last Duchess of Brittany, married King Charles
VIIIof France and the Union Treaty of Vannes was signed in
1532. [David NashFord, Kings of Brittany: The Breton
Descendants of Conan Meriadog] ---------- Conan Meriadoc,
'King' of Dumnonia & Brittany (born c.305)
(Welsh-Cynan,Latin-Conanus, English-Conan). Conan was the son
of Octavius the Old'sbrother, Gerontius, (or Octavius himself
according to the Dream of MacsenWledig). He had expected to
inherit his uncle's position of influence inwhat is now Wales,
until his cousin, Helena, married the Roman citizen,Magnus
Maximus. Originally, Conan was considerably put out by this
man'srise to power and he organised a rebellion against him,
aided by Pictsand Scots. However, being defeated, Conan became
great friends with hisrival and travelled with Maximus to the
continent to help him becomeEmperor of the West. He was given
control over Armorica (modern Brittany)as a reward for killing
the previous holder of the title. His newprovince was well
settled by his men-at-arms, however they lacked
wives.Therefore, in order to populate the area, he sent to his
uncle's oldally, Donaut of Dumnonia for numerous Cornish
ladies. Conan proposed tocement the alliance of their two
peoples by marrying Donaut's daughter,Ursula. Though Donaut was
delighted at the match, Ursula had her heartset on a life
devoted only to God. She agreed to the marriage on thecondition
that she first be allowed to go on a pilgrimage
throughoutEurope. Conan appears to have joined her in Rome,
where the two must havebeen married, probably by Pope Cyriacus
himself. He apparently did nottravel to Cologne where Ursula
died. In later years, he inheritedDumnonia from his
father-in-law. The Governorships of Armorica andDumnonia were
united for only a short time, for, as his second wife,Conan
married St. Patrick's sister, Dareca of Ireland, and left one
eachof his Kingdoms to the sons of his two marriages, Gadeon
and Gradlon. Heprobably died about 395. [David Nash Ford,

~0305 Ursula ferch Dynod St. Ursula (Welsh-Ursula, Latin-Ursula, English-Ursula), born
c. AD 305.Though there are no ancient dedications to her in
Britain, Ursula is saidto have been a British Princess. After
her father, 'King' Donaut, agreedto her marriage with Governor
Conan Meriadoc of Armorica (Brittany), sheset sail to join him
along with 11,000 virginal handmaidens. However, amiraculous
storm brought them over the sea in a single day to a
Gaulishport, where Ursula declared that before her marriage she
would undertakea pan-European pilgrimage. Together, the British
maidens headed for Romewhere Ursula persuaded Pope Cyriacus and
Sulpicius, Bishop of Ravenna, tojoin her happy band of
followers. She later welcomed Pantulus, Bishop ofBasle, and
Jaques, Bishop of Li÷ge, and 'King' Ethereus arrived
fromBritain with Prince Conan himself. Together, they set out
for Colognewhich was being besieged by Huns. In a dreadful
massacre, the Hunsbeheaded all the virgins and, with bow &
arrow, their leader shot St.Ursula dead. Ursula and her virgins
were buried in Cologne where a greatchurch is dedicated to her.
Conan, her husband, apparently survived.[Early British Kingdoms

was first able to go on a pilgrimage with eleven thousand virginal followers. They were all massacred in Cologne. [David Nash Ford,Early British Kingdoms: Biographies]

Elisedd is best known for his memorial stone: Eliseg's Pillar standing in Llantysilio-yn-Ial in Northern Powys. It was once topped by an enormous cross, and was erected by his great grandson, King Cyngen, some one hundred years after Elisedd's ascendancy in the early 8th century. Its inscription praises his victories against the Saxons and includes an exceptional record of the Powysian pedigree, stretching back through his father King Gwylog ap Beli's line to Vortigern and Magnus Maximus. Elisedd lived at nearby Castell Dinas-Bran, which is also associated with the Celtic ancestor god, Bran, and King Arthur's Quest for the Holy Grail.

1207 - 1276 Jayme 69 69 King of Aragon, Valencia & Maijorca ~0115 - 0170 Nahum ben Akkub 55 55 Nahum was Exilarch of the Jews in Babylon about 140-170. He is the first Exilarch of whom there is any historical record. He was Exilarch during the reign of Hadrian as Roman emperor, giving him a birthdate of about 100 to 120 CE. Contemporary Jewish leaders believed that the Exilarchs were descended in the male line of King David through the King Jehoachin, who was carried off to Babylon after the destruction of Jerusalem in 607 BCE. As Jehoachin was a young man at that time a birthdate about 620-610 BCE is likely for him. The return of some of the Jews to Judah occurred about 538 BCE when the tribal leader was Zerubbabel, Jehoachin's grandson, who can be assigned a birthdate of about 550 BCE. This leaves a gap of about 660 to 680 years between Zerubbabel and Nahum for which there are virtually no historic markers for the Jews of Babylon. One of the lists of supposed earlier Exilarchs gives Shechaniah as the leader during the destruction of the temple in Jerusalem, which took place in 70-72 CE. Shechaniah was third on this list back from Nahum. If we add these three leaders [a reasonable possibility as at some scholars suggests the Babylonian Jewish hierarchy may have arisen during later Parthian rule], the gap narrows to a little less than 600 years. This gap would contain about 17 to 20 generations. None of the known lists give a sufficient number of people to fill all of these years. The list from the Jewish Enclycopedia has been used in this compilation with a break between Meshullam noted by Chronicles as son of Zerubbabel and Hananiah. Within this break are an appropriate number of generations.

He was a mere child and never really ruled; in his first year the Arabic invasion began, and in 637 the battle of Kadisiya decided the fate of the empire.

Ctesiphon was occupied by the Arabs, and the king fled into Media. Yazdegerd fled from one district to another, till at last he was murdered at Merv in 651. The Parsees, who use the old Persian calendar, continue to count the years from his accession (era of Yazdegerd, beginning June 16, AD 632).

His daughter Shahr Banu would be married to the grandson of Muhammad, Husayn ibn Ali, and gave birth to the fourth Shia Imam, Ali Zayn al Abidin.

~0580 Sharijar ABT 0551/0565 - 0628 Khusraw As "Chosroes Parvez" or "Chosroes the Victorious" he was Great King of Persia, 590-628.

Khosrau II, "the Victorious" (Parvez), king of Persia, son of Hormizd IV, grandson of Khosrau I, 590-628.

He was raised to the throne by the magnates who had rebelled against Hormizd IV till 590, and soon after his father was blinded and killed. But at the same time the general Bahram Chobin had proclaimed himself king, and Khosrau II was not able to maintain himself.

The war with the Romans, which had begun in 571, had not yet come to an end. Chosroes fled to Syria, and persuaded the emperor Maurice to send help. Many leading men and part of the troops acknowledged Khosrau, and in 591 he was brought back to Ctesiphon. Bahram Chobin was beaten and fled to the Turks, among whom he was murdered. Peace with Rome was then concluded.

Maurice made no use of his advantage; he merely restored the former frontier and abolished the subsidies which had formerly been paid to the Persians. Khosrau II was much inferior to his grandfather. He was haughty and cruel, rapacious and given to luxury; he was neither a general nor an administrator. At the beginning of his reign he favoured the Christians; but when in 602 Maurice had been murdered by Phocas, he began war with Rome to avenge his death. His armies plundered Syria and Asia Minor, and in 608 advanced to Chalcedon.

In 613 and 614 Damascus and Jerusalem were taken by the general Shahrbaraz, and the Holy cross was carried away in triumph. Soon after, even Egypt was conquered. The Romans could offer but little resistance, as they were torn by internal dissensions, and pressed by the Avars and Slavs. At last, in 622, the emperor Heraclius (who had succeeded Phocas in 610) was able to take the field. In 624 he advanced into northern Media, where he destroyed the great fire-temple of Gandzak (Gazaca); in 626 he fought in Lazistan (Colchis), while Shahrbaraz advanced to Chalcedon, and tried in vain, united with the Avars, to conquer Constantinople.

In 627 Heraclius defeated the Persian army at the Battle of Nineveh and advanced towards Ctesiphon. Chosroes fled from his favourite residence, Dastagei1 (near Bagdad), without offering resistance, and as his despotism and indolence had roused opposition everywhere, his eldest son, Kavadh II, whom he had imprisoned, was set free by some of the leading men and proclaimed king. Four days afterwards, Khosrau was murdered in his palace (February 628). Meanwhile, Heraclius returned in triumph to Constantinople, in 629 the Cross was given back to him and Egypt evacuated, while the Persian empire, from the apparent greatness which it had reached ten years ago, sank into hopeless anarchy.

Sirin ~0535 - 0590 Hormisdas 55 55 He was Great King of Persia, 579-590.

Hormizd IV, son of Khosrau I, reigned as king of Persia from 578 to 590.

He seems to have been imperious and violent, but not without some kindness of heart. Some very characteristic stories are told of him by Tabari (Noldeke, Geschichte d. Perser und Arhalter unter den Sasaniden, 264 ff.). His father's sympathies had been with the nobles and the priests. Hormizd protected the common people and introduced a severe discipline in his army and court. When the priests demanded a persecution of the Christians, he declined on the ground that the throne and the government could only be safe if it gained the goodwill of both concurring religions. The consequence was that he raised a strong opposition in the ruling classes, which led to many executions and confiscations.

When he came to the throne he killed his brothers, according to the oriental fashion. From his father he had inherited a war against the Byzantine empire and against the Turks in the east, and negotiations of peace had just begun with the emperor Tiberius, but Hormizd haughtily declined to cede anything of the conquests of his father. Therefore the accounts given of him by the Byzantine authors, Theophylact, Simocatta (iii. 16 if.), Menander Protector and John of Ephesus (vi. 22), who give a full account of these negotiations, are far from favourable.

In 588 his general, Bahram Chobin, defeated the Turks, but in the next year was beaten by the Romans; and when the king superseded him he rebelled with his army. This was the signal for a general insurrection. The magnates deposed and blinded Hormizd and proclaimed his son Khosrau II king. In the war which now followed between Bahram Chobin and Khosrau II. Hormizd was killed by some partisans of his son (590).

~0505 - 0579 Khusraw 74 74 Khosrau I, "the Blessed" (Anushirvan), (531 - 579) was the favourite son and successor of Kavadh I, and the most famous of the Sassanid kings.

According to one account, Khosrau was the Kavadh's son through a peasant girl, and was originally considered unworthy of inheriting his father's throne. His brothers contested his claim, so Khosrau had them killed. At the beginning of his reign he concluded an "eternal" peace with the emperor Justinian, who wanted to have his hands free for the conquest of Africa and Sicily. But his successes against the Vandals and Goths caused Khosrau to begin the war again in 540.

He invaded Syria and carried the inhabitants of Antioch to his residence, where he built for them a new city near Ctesiphon under the name of Khosrau-Antioch or Chosro-Antioch. During the next years he fought successfully in Lazica or Lazistan (the ancient Colchis), on the Black Sea, and in Mesopotamia.

The Romans, though led by Belisarius, could do little against him. In 545 an armistice was concluded, but in Lazica the war went on till 556. At last, in 562, a peace was concluded for 50 years, in which the Persians left Lazistan to the Romans, and promised not to persecute the Christians, if they did not attempt to make proselytes among the Zarathustrians; on the other hand, the Romans had again to pay subsidies to Persia.

Meanwhile in the east the Hephthalites had been attacked by the Turks, who now appear for the first time in history. Khosrau united with them and conquered Bactria, while he left the country north of the Oxus to the Turks. Many other rebellious tribes were subjected. About 570 the dynasts of Yemen, who had been subdued by the Ethiopians of Axum, applied to Khosrau for help. He sent a fleet with a small army under Vahriz, who expelled the Ethiopians. From that time till the conquests of Mahomet, Yemen was dependent on Persia, and a Persian governor resided here. In 571 a new war with Rome broke out about Armenia, in which Khosrau conquered the fortress Dara on the Euphrates, invaded Syria and Cappadocia, and returned with large booty. During the negotiations with the emperor Tiberius, Khosrau died in 579, and was succeeded by his son Hormizd IV.

Although Khosrau had in the last years of his father extirpated the heretical and communistic Persian sect of the Mazdakites (see Kavadh). He was a sincere adherent of Zoroastrian orthodoxy and even ordered that the religion's holy text, the Avesta be codified, but he was not fanatical or prone to persecution. He tolerated every Christian confession. When one of his sons had rebelled about 550 and was taken prisoner, he did not execute him; nor did he punish the Christians who had supported him.

He introduced a rational system of taxation, based upon a survey of landed possessions, which his father had begun, and tried in every way to increase the welfare and the revenues of his empire. In Babylonia he built or restored the canals. His army was in discipline decidedly superior to the Romans, and apparently was well paid. He was also interested in literature and philosophical discussions. Under his reign, chess was introduced from India, and the famous book of Kalilah and Dimnah was translated. He thus became renowned as a wise prince.

When Justinian in 529 closed the Academy of Athens, the last seat of paganism in the Roman empire, the last seven teachers of Neoplatonism emigrated to Persia. But they soon found out that neither Khosrau nor his state corresponded to the Platonic ideal, and Khosrau, in his treaty with Justinian, stipulated that they should return unmolested.

~0475 - 0531 Kavadh 56 56 He was Great King of Persia, 498-531.

Kavadh I (449 - 531), son of Peroz, was a Sassanid king (488 - 531), crowned by the nobles in place who was deposition and blinding of his uncle Balash.

At this time the empire was utterly disorganized by the invasion of the Ephthalites or White Huns from the east. After one of their victories against Peroz, Kavadh had been a hostage among them during two years, pending the payment of a heavy ransom. In 484 Peroz had been defeated and slain with his whole army. Balash was not able to restore the royal authority. The hopes of the magnates and high priests that Kavadh would suit their purpose were soon disappointed.

Kavadh gave his support to the communistic sect founded by Mazdak, son of Bamdad, who demanded that the rich should divide their wives and their wealth with the poor. His intention evidently was, by adopting the doctrine of the Mazdakites, to break the influence of the magnates. But in 496 he was deposed and incarcerated in the "Castle of Oblivion (Lethe)" in Susiana, and his brother Jamasp (Zamaspes) was raised to the throne.

Kavadh, however, escaped and found refuge with the Ephthalites, whose king gave him his daughter in marriage and aided him to return to Persia. In 499 he became king again and punished his opponents. He had to pay a tribute to the Ephthalites and applied for subsidies to Rome, which had before supported the Persians. But now the emperor Anastasius refused subsidies, expecting that the two rival powers of the East would exhaust one another in war. At the same time he intervened in the affairs of the Persian part of Armenia.

So Kavadh joined the Ephthalites and began war against the Romans. In 502 he took Theodosiopolis in Armenia. In 503 Amida (Diarbekr) on the Tigris. In 505 an invasion of Armenia by the western Huns from the Caucasus led to an armistice, during which the Romans paid subsidies to the Persians for the maintenance of the fortifications on the Caucasus.

When Justin I (518-527) came to the throne the conflict began anew. The Persian vassal, Mondhir of Hira, laid waste Mesopotamia and slaughtered the monks and nuns. In 531 Belisarius was defeated at the Battle of Callinicum. Shortly afterwards Kavadh died, at the age of eighty-two, in September 531. During his last years his favourite son Khosrau had had great influence over him and had been proclaimed successor. He also induced Kavadh to break with the Mazdakites, whose doctrine had spread widely and caused great social confusion throughout Persia.

In 529 they were refuted in a theological discussion held before the throne of the king by the orthodox Magians, and were slaughtered and persecuted everywhere; Mazdak himself was hanged. Kavadh evidently was, as Procopius (Pers. i. 6) calls him, an unusually clear-sighted and energetic ruler. Although he could not free himself from the yoke of the Ephthalites, he succeeded in restoring order in the interior and fought with success against the Romans. He built some towns which were named after him, and began to regulate the taxation.

~0455 - 0484 Firoz 29 29 He was Great King of Persia, 459-484.

Peroz (Peirozes, Priscus, fr. 33; Perozes, Procop. Pers. I. 3 and Agath. iv. 27; the modern form of the name is Feroz, Firuz), Sassanid king of Persia, AD 457-484, son of Yazdegerd II.

He rebelled against his brother Hormizd III, and in 459 defeated and killed him with the help of the Ephthalites, or White Huns, who had invaded Bactria. He also killed most of his other relatives, and persecuted the Christians. But he favoured the introduction of Nestorianism, in opposition to the orthodox creed of Byzantium.

With the Romans he maintained peace, but he tried to keep down the Ephthalites, who began to conquer eastern Iran. The Romans supported him with subsidies; but all his wars were disastrous. Once he was himself taken prisoner and had to give his son Kavadh as hostage till after two years he was able to pay a heavy ransom.

Then he broke the treaty again and advanced with a large army. But he lost his way in the eastern desert and perished with his whole army (484). The Ephthalites invaded and plundered Persia for two years, till at last a noble Persian from the old family of Karen, Zarmihr (or Sokhra), restored some degree of order. He raised Balash, a brother of Peroz, to the throne.

~0420 Dinak ABT 1174/1176 - 1213 Pedro King of Aragon ~0385 - 0439 Baranes 54 54 Called the "wild ass" he was Great King of Persia, 420-439.

Bahram V, king of Persia (420-439), son of Yazdegerd I, after whose sudden death (or assassination) he gained the crown against the opposition of the grandees by the help of al-Mondhir, the Arabic dynast of Hira.

He promised to rule otherwise than his father, who had been very energetic and at the same time tolerant in religion. So Bahram V began a systematic persecution of the Christians, which led to a war with the Roman empire. But he had little success, and soon concluded a treaty by which both empires promised toleration to the worshippers of the two rival religions, Christianity and Zoroastrianism.

Bahram deposed the vassal king of the Persian part of Armenia and made it a province. He is a great favourite in Persian tradition, which relates many stories of his valour and beauty, of his victories over the Romans, Turks, Indians and Africans, and of his adventures in hunting and in love; he is called Bahram Gur, "Zebra," on account of his love for hunting, and in particular, huting zebras.

In reality he seems to have been rather a weak monarch, after the heart of the grandees and the priests. He is said to have built many great fire-temples, with large gardens and villages (Tabari).

~0355 - 0412 Yazdagird 57 57 Yazdegerd I ("made by God" Izdigerdes), king of Persia, son of Shapur III, 399-420, called "the sinner" by the Persians.

He was a highly intelligent ruler, who tried to emancipate himself from the dominion of the magnates and the Magian priests. He punished the nobles severely when they attempted oppression; he stopped the persecution of the Christians and granted them their own organization.

With the Roman Empire he lived in peace and friendship, and is therefore as much praised by the Byzantine authors (Procop Pers. i. 2; Agath. iv. 26) as he is blamed by the Persians.

After a reign of twenty years he appears to have been murdered in Khorasan.

~0290 - 0379 Shapur 89 89 He was Great King of Persia, 309-379.

Shapur II was king of Persia(310 - 379).

When King Hormizd II died, the Persian magnates killed his eldest son, blinded the second, and imprisoned the third (Hormizd, who afterwards escaped to the Romans); the throne was reserved for the unborn child of one of the wives of Hormizd. This child, named Shapur, was therefore born king; the government was conducted by his mother and the magnates. But when Shapur came of age, he turned out to be one of the greatest monarchs of the dynasty.

Under his reign the collection of the Avesta was completed, heresy and apostasy punished, and the Christians persecuted. This was a reaction against the Christianization of the Roman empire by Constantine.

In 337, just before the death of Constantine, Shapur broke the peace concluded in 297 between Narseh and Diocletian, which had been observed for forty years, and a war of twenty-six years (337-363) began. Shapur attempted with varying success to conquer the great fortresses of Roman Mesopotamia: Singara, Nisibis (which he invested three times in vain), and Amida (Diarbekr).

The Roman emperor Constantius II was always beaten in the field. Nevertheless Shapur made scarcely any progress; the military power of his kingdom was not sufficient for a lasting occupation of the conquered districts. At the same time he was attacked in the east by nomad tribes, among whom the Chionites are named. After a prolonged struggle they were forced to conclude a peace, and their king, Grumbates, accompanied Shapur in the war against the Romans.

In 359, Shapur conquered Amida after a siege of seventy-three days, and he took Singara and some other fortresses in the next year. In 363 the emperor Julian, at the head of a strong army, advanced to Ctesiphon, but was killed. His successor Jovian was defeated and made an ignominious peace, by which the districts on the Tigris and Nisibis were ceded to the Persians, and the Romans promised to interfere no more in Armenia. In the rock-sculptures near the town Shapur in Persis (Stolze, Persepolis, p. 141) the great success is represented; under the hoofs of the king's horse lies the body of an enemy, probably Julian, and a suppliant Roman, the emperor Jovian, asks for peace.

Shapur now invaded Armenia, where he took king Arsaces III, the faithful ally of the Romans, prisoner by treachery and forced him to commit suicide. He then attempted to introduce Zoroastrian orthodoxy into Armenia. However, the Armenian nobles resisted him successfully, secretly supported by the Romans, who sent King Pap, the son of Arsaces III, into Armenia. The war with Rome threatened to break out again, but Valens sacrificed Pap, arranging for his assassination in Tarsus, where he had taken refuge (374). Shapur had conducted great hosts of captives from the Roman territory into his dominions, most of whom were settled in Susiana. Here he rebuilt Susa, after having killed the city's rebellious inhabitants, and founded some other towns. He was successful in the east, and the great town Nishapur in Khorasan (eastern Parthia) was founded by him.

~0260 - 0309 Hormisdas 49 49 He was Great King of Persia, 302-309.

Hormizd II, king of Persia, son of Narseh, reigned for seven years and five months, 302-309.

Of his reign nothing is known. After his death his oldest son Adarnases was killed by the grandees after a very short reign, as he showed a cruel disposition; another son, Hormizd, was kept a prisoner, and the throne reserved for the child with which a concubine of Hormizd II was pregnant and which received the name Shapur II.

His son Hormizd escaped from prison by the help of his wife in 323, and found refuge at the court of Constantine the Great (Zosimus ii. 27; John of Antioch, fr. 178; Zonaras 13-5). In 363 Hormizd served in the army of Julian against Persia; his son, with the same name, afterwards served in the Roman government as a proconsul (Ammianus Marcellinus 26. 8. 12).

~0235 - 0302 Nerseh 67 67 He was King of Armenia c273-293 and Great King of Persia, 293-302.

Narseh (also known as Narses, Narseus) was king of Persia (292 - 303), and son of Shapur I.

He rose as pretender to the throne against his grand-nephew Bahram III in AD 292, and soon became sole king. He attacked the Romans, but after defeating the emperor Galerius near Callinicum on the Euphrates in 296 was completely defeated in 297, and forced to conclude a peace, by which western Mesopotamia and five provinces on the left bank of the upper Tigris were ceded to the Romans and their sovereignty over the kingdom of Armenia was acknowledged.

This peace, concluded in 297, lasted for forty years. Narses died in 303 and was succeeded by his son Hormizd II.

~0215 - ~0272 Shapur 57 57 King of Iran
Shah of Persia

The Persian legend which makes him the son of an Arsacid princess is not historical. Ardashir I had towards the end of his reign renewed the war against Rome; Shapur conquered the Mesopotamian fortresses Nisibis and Carrhae and advanced into Syria; but he was driven back by Timesitheus, father-in-law of the young emperor, Gordianus III, and defeated at Resaena in 243.

Shortly afterwards Timesitheus died, and Gordianus was murdered by Philip the Arab, who concluded an ignominious peace with the Persians (244). When the invasion of the Goths and the continuous elevation of new emperors after the death of Decius (251) brought the Roman empire to utter dissolution, Shapur resumed his attacks.

He conquered Armenia, invaded Syria, and plundered Antioch. At last the emperor Valerian marched against him, but Valerian suffered near Edessa the fate of Crassus (260). Shapur advanced into Asia Minor, but was beaten by Ballista; and now Septimius Odenathus, prince of Palmyra, rose in his rear, defeated the Persian army, reconquered Carrhae and Nisibis, captured the royal harem, and twice invested Ctesiphon (263 - 265).

Shapur was unable to resume the offensive; he even lost Armenia again. But according to Persian and Arabic traditions, which appear to be trustworthy, he conquered the great fortress of Hatra in the Mesopotamian desert; and the great glory of his reign was that he kept a Roman emperor prisoner to the day of his death. In the valley of Istakhr (near Persepolis), under the tombs of the Achaemenids at Nakshi Rustam, Shapur is represented on horseback, in the royal armour, with the crown on his head; before him kneels Valerian, in Roman dress, asking for grace. The same scene is represented on the rocks near the ruins of the towns Darabjird and Shapur in Persia. Shapur left other reliefs and rock inscriptions; one, at Nakshi-Rajab near Persepolis, is accompanied by a Greek translation; here he calls himself "the Mazdayasnian (worshipper of Ahuramazda), the god Sapores, king of kings of the Aryans [Iranians] and non-Aryans, of divine descent, son of the Mazdayasnian, the god Artaxares, king of kings of the Aryans, grandson of the god-king Papak." Another long inscription at Hajjiabad (Istakhr) mentions the king's exploits in archery in the presence of his nobles.

From his titles we learn that Shapur I claimed the sovereignty over the whole earth, although in reality his domain extended little farther than that of Ardashir I. Shapur built the great town Gundev-Shapur near the old Achaemenian capital Susa, and increased the fertility of this rich district by a barrage through the Karun river near Shushter, which was built by the Roman prisoners and is still called Band-i-Kaisar, "the mole of the Caesar." Under his reign the prophet Mani, the founder of Manichaeism began his preaching in Persia, and the king himself seems to have favoured his ideas.

She was dau King Alfonso VI of Castile, by Zaida. According to Nat Taylor, the wife of Gonzalo Ruiz Giron wasn't a Lara. The only descendants of Isabel/Zaida past the fourth generation are through the descendants of the Sicilian marriage of Elvira Alfonso.


"Rodrigo Rodriguez de Lara" is a genealogical fiction, invented by Salazar y Castro to link Sancha Rodriguez, who he wrongly thought to be a Lara, with Rodrigo Gonzalez. (Earlier reconstructions made Sancha daughter of Rodrigo Gonzalez, but chronology demanded an additional generation.) In fact, Rodrigo Gonzalez and Sancha Alfonso had two children, a son who entered the church, and a daughter married to the Count of Urgel, as his second wife. By her, the Count of Urgel had a son who died without issue, and a daughter married, as second wife, to the Count of Haro. By her, the Count of Haro had one known son, who in turn had one known son, at which point the line fades into the minor nobility. There are no known descendants of Sancha beyond this point. -- Todd Farmerie

>2. Walter DE BOKETON/1207.
There are a number of books on the early family and a lot of data that
may or may not be true. I will give you the baisc outline so you will
know what you are looking for. The great granson of one of the
Knights who came to England with William the Conqueror, was given the
ancient estate of Boketon in about 1202. His name was Alexander no
last name at that time. When last names were required, this family
took the name of their estate, so his son was known as Sir Walter de
Boketon, and his son was John de Boketon who was supposedly killed in
Palestine during the Crusades in 1271. His son, Thomas de Boketon is
supposed to have adopted the name Green because of the beautiful
estate where a county fair was established that lasted for over 500
years. While this story may be true, many researchers do not believe
this was accurate. Some believe that Thomas de Boketon may have
inherited the estate and changed his name, as was the custom when a
man inherited the estate of his wife. What ever the case, his son
Henry Greene became one of the largest land holders in England and
became the Lord Chief Justice of England. It was this Henry Greene
that purchased the estate of Norton in 1352 and this was when it
became Green's Norton. It was the custom, in fact the law, that the
eldest son inherite the estate, but Sir Henry Greene had a second son,
also named Henry Greene, and he got permission from the King to divide
his estate between his eldest son, Thomas Greene and his second son,
Henry Greene. This second son, Henry Greene, born about 1343 also
became Lord Chief Justice of England, and also became the most
powerful man of his day, since a "committee" was formed to oversee the
acts of the King. When the King reversed his decision to allow a
cousin to inherite his father's estate, the cousin took the Crown by
force and beheaded Sir Henry Greene in 1399 in Bristol, England.
Things got really bad in England after that, and the War of the Roses
caused many records to be destroyed, not to mention the people who
were killed during this time. It is believed that Surgeon John Greene
and John Greene of Quidnessett descended from this Greene line.

Riwal Mawr Marchou, Prince of Domnonée
(c.AD 475-520)
(Welsh: Rhiwal; Latin: Rivalus; English: Riwald)
Deroch I map Riothamus' son was Riwal the Great Knight. He is said to have hailed from Britain and to have emigrated to Brittany with a large number of followers. This, however, was probably invented to explain his supposed British Dumnonian ancestry; though it is possible he held lands on both sides of the Channel. In Brittany, Riwal found it politic to pay homage to King Lothaire I of the Franks, as well as his cousins in Cornouaille, in order to secure his position.
When Prince Fracan of Cerniw settled in Domnonée, he quickly had a set to with his new monarch. Riwal claimed to have a much swifter horse than Fracan, but the latter could not agree. They organised a race to decide whose beast was the best, but the new arrival's jockey fell and was nearly killed. Luckily, Fracan's son, St. Winwaloe was able to heal him. Riwal may have been impressed by this saint's miracle working for he became a patron of the church and gave much land to his cousin, St.Brioc. Riwal probably died around AD 520 and was succeeded by his son as Deroch II.

EARLDOM OF ARUNDEL (V, 2) 1189

WILLIAM (D'AUBIGNY), EARL OF SUSSEX, son and heir, in 1176/7, was confirmed in that dignity, but the Castle and Honour of Arundel having, in accordance with the policy of Henry II, been retained by the Crown, on the death of the last holder he did not obtain restoration of them till Richard I restored them to him 27 June 1190, when (according to the admission of I433] he became EARL OF ARUNDEL. He was, however, styled Earl of Arundel before he received possession of the Castle and Honour, namely, on 18 September 1189, and on 26 November of the same year he witnessed King Richard's Charter as "Will. Earl of Arundel." He received also at the same time, the third penny of the pleas of Sussex in the precise words of the grant made to his father. In 1191 he was made Custos of Windsor Castle, and in 1194 one of the Receivers of the money raised for the King's ransom.

He married Maud, widow of Roger (DE CLARE), EARL OF HERTFORD (who had died 1173), daughter and heir of James DE ST. HILAIRE Du HARCOUET, by Aveline, his wife. He died 24 December 1193, and was buried at Wymondham Priory. [Complete Peerage I:235-6, (transcribed by Dave Utzinger)]

Note: All other sources that I've found say that the William who m. Maud de St. Hillary was the son of William, the 1st Earl, and Adeliza. I have, thus, compressed this pedigree by omitting the intervening William who Burke styles 2nd earl.

(d) The name of the Founder is uncertain, by some it is said to be Piers or Peter, and by others William, although neither of these names appears in any Irish document of this date. The family were called Mac Feorais (or Phioris), which is the Erse equivalent for Fitz Piers, after Piers Bermingham [grandson], temp. Henry III, so no inference can be drawn therefrom, as to the name of the first of the Berminghams to settle in Connaught.

Note: Piers, whose younger son Robert went to Ireland before 1175, and possibly 1172 or earlier (I have his daughter born there in 1172), must also be the ancestor of the Bermingham/Birmingham family that remained in Birmingham, co. Warwick. Thus I have indicated a couple of missing generations, through an "elder son" to the Birmingham descendants.

RC: "The Great" of Kiev, Ukraine, Russia. Grand prince of Novgorod and Kiev. Baptized a Christian, 988.

K: Wladimir I le Grand et le Saint. Grand Duke of Novogorod, Kiew.
"Le Grand et le Saint." Grand Prince of Kiev or Grand Duke of Kiev and Novgorod. Ruled 980-1015. "980. St.Vladimir becomes Prince of Kiev."

Clarkson:
Vladimir succeeded his father through the process of fratricidal wars in which his brothers were slain. "He installed himself at Kiev (977), whence, by savage campaigns, he collected wives and tribute from most of the Dnieper Basin. Vladimir's chief fame rests on his forced conversion of the Russian Slavs to Christianity...During his reign, Kiev was repeatedly harassed by the Pechenegs; to hold them off, Vladimir built a sort of fortified line of new towns along the steppe frontier. At his death (1015) he left seven sons--of four or five different mothers--each ruling as prince in a portion of the Russian land; one of them, Yaroslav of Novgorod, was in open rebvellion, having refused to pay tribute to his father. Sviatopolk, who seized Kiev, promptly murdered three of his brothers, but was defeated in a four-year struggle by Yaroslav, who succeeded to the title of grand prince. Yaroslav, however, was forced to share the territory with another brother, Mstislav, who took the opportunity to move his residence from outlying Tmutorakan, beyond the Sea of Azov, to Chernigov, near Kiev. Not until Mstislav's death (1036) did Yaroslav "the Wise" venture to remove his seat from Novgorod to Kiev."

"Vladimir...who had won the throne of Kiev by the murder of his older brother, was the last major European ruler to abandon paganism." He invited envoys from the Khazars (Jews), the Volga Bulgars (Muslims), Rome and Greece to "sell" their religious beliefs. But "Vladimir and his simple warriors (were) unable to make up their minds in this war of words." Therefore, they visited the temples of the Bulgars, the Romans and the Greeks, not bothering with a visit to the Khazars. They found the mosques unclean and western Catholic worship tolerable, but they were entralled with the spendor and beauty of the Greek places of worship. Hence, they embraced the Greek Orthodox religion.

Vladimir was promised the hand of Anne, sister of the Byzantine emperor, in return for military aid and, despite some foot dragging by the emperor after the aid was provided, married the lady in 988. "In 990 Vladimir returned to Kieve with his imperial bride and a retinue of priests. Throughout his dominions the population was compulsorily baptized wholesale..."

RC says he had many pagan wives and concubines of whom these are known: (1) Adlaga; (2) Olava; (3) Malfrida, a Bohemian, d. 1002; (5) a Greek, widow of his brother, Teropolk; (6) N.N.(27-36), a Bulgarian; md (7) 989, Anna, daughter of the Eastern Emperor, the Basilius Romanos, d. 10011; (8) N.N. (321-33), daughter of Kuno, Count of Ohningen. K. calls the latter Rogneda de Oehningen. One AF record says born about 962.

According to my records, St. Vladimir had three daughters with Vladimirovna as name or part of name--all via different wives. Maybe he just liked the name. Maybe there are errors in the records.

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

EARLDOM OF CHESTER (II, 1)

HUGH D'AVRANCHES, styled by his contemporaries "VRAS," or "LE GROS" and,in after ages (from h is rapacity) "Lupus," was son and heir of Richard(LE Goz), VICOMTE AVRANCHES, &C., in Normand y (son of Thurstan LE Goz),by Emma, daughter of Herluin de Conteville and Herleve (or Harlott e) hiswife, who (by Robert, Duke of Normandy) was mother of William "theConqueror". He is ge nerally supposed to have fought at the battle ofHastings (1066), when, at the utmost, he woul d have been but 19 yearsold; anyhow, not long afterwards in 1071, he received from the King , hismaternal uncle, the whole of the county Palatine of Chester (exceptionthe Episcopal land s) "to hold as freely by the Sword, as he [the King]himself held the Kingdom of England by th e Crown," becoming thereby CountPalatine (b) thereof, as EARL OF CHESTER. He succeeded his fa ther, whowas living as late as 1082, as VICOMTE D'AVRANCHES, &C., in Normandy. Inthe rebellio n (1096) against William II, he stood loyally by hisSovereign. He m. Ermentrude, daughter o f Hugues, COUNT OF CLERMONT inBeauvaisis, by Margaret, daughter of Hilduin, COUNT OF Rouci an dMONTDIDIER. Having founded the Abbeys of St. Sever in Normandy and St.Werburg at Chester (be sides largely endowing that of Whitby, co. York),he became a monk 3 days before he died 27 Ju ly 1101, at St. Werburg's. Hewas buried in the cemetery at St. Werburg, but his body was afte rwardremoved to the Chapter House by Earl Ranulph le Meschin. [CompletePeerage III:165, XIV:1 70, (transcribed by Dave Utzinger)]

(b) As such he had his hereditary Baron, who (besides one Robert deRhuddlon, General of his f orces, who d. 3 July 1088, many years beforehim) are generally considered to have been eight , as under, viz. (1)Eustace of Mold, Baron of Hawarden, co. Flint, Hereditary Steward; (2)Wil liam Fitz Niel, Baron of Halton, Hereditary Constable and Marshal,whose descendants took th e name of "de Lacy" and became Earls of Lincolnin 1232. (3) William Malbank, Baron of Nantwic h, or Wich-Malbank, whoseissue maled ended with his grandson. (4) Robert Fitz Hugh, Baron ofM alpas, who dspm, but appears to have been succeeded (in Earl Hugh'slifetime) by David le Cler k (or Belward), said to have been hisson-in-law. (5) Hamond de Massey, Baron of Dunham-Massey , whorepresentation (through Fitton, Venables and Booth) passed to the Greys,Earls of Staffor d and Warrington. (6) Richard Vernon, Baron ofShipbrooke. (7) William Venables, Baron of Kind erton, whose issue malecontinued till 1676. (8) Robert Stockport, Baron of Stockport, whoseex istence is somewhat questionable. After 1265, however, when theEarldom of Chester was, by He nry III, annexed to the Crown, the dignityof these Barons became merely titular.

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

Upon the detention of Gherbod, a prisoner in Flanders, a Fleming whofirst held the Earldom o f Chester, that dignity was conferred, A.D. 1070,by the Conqueror, upon his half-sister's* so n, Hugh de Abrincis (orAvranches, in Normandy), surnamed Lupus, and called by the Welch, Vras ,or "the Fat." "Which Hugh," says Dugdale, "being a person of great noteat that time amongs t the Norman nobility, and an expert soldier, was, forthat respect, chiefly placed so near th ose unconquered Britains, thebetter to restrain their bold incursions; for it was, 'consiliop rudentium,' by the advice of his council, that King William thusadvanced him to that governme nt; his power being, also, not ordinary;having royal jurisdiction within the precincts of hi s earldom--whichhonor he received to hold as freely . . . as the King himself heldEngland b y the crown. But, though the time of his advancement was nottill the year 1070, certain it i s that he came into England with theConqueror and thereupon had a grant of Whitby, in Yorkshi re, whichlordship he soon afterwards disposed of to William de Percy, hisassociate in that fa mous expedition." In the contest between WilliamRufus and his brother, Robert Curthose, thi s powerful nobleman sided withthe former and remained faithful to him during the whole of hi s reign. Hewas subsequently in the confidence of Henry I, and one of that monarch'schief coun cillors.

"In his youth and flourishing age," continues Dugdale, "he was a greatlover of worldly pleasu res and secular pomp; profuse in giving, and muchdelighted with interludes, jesters, horses , dogs, and other likevanities; having a large attendance of such persons, of all sorts, aswe re disposed to those sports; but he had also in his family both clerksand soldiers, who wer e men of great honor, the venerable Anselme (abbotof Bec, and afterwards archbishop of Canter bury) being his confessor;nay, so devout he grew before his death, that sickness hanging lon g uponhim, he caused himself to be shorn a monk in the abbey of St. Werberge,where, within th ree days after, he died, 27 July, 1101."

His lordship m. Ermentrude, dau. of Hugh de Claremont, Earl of Bevois, inFrance, by whom he h ad an only son, Richard, his successor. Of hisillegitimate issue were Ottiwell, tutor to thos e children of King Henry Iwho perished at sea; Robert, originally a monk in the abbey of St.E brulf, in Normandy, and afterwards abbot of St. Edmundsbury, in Suffolk;and Geva, the wife o f Geffrey Riddell, to whom the earl gave DraytonBasset, in Staffordshire.

That this powerful nobleman enjoyed immense wealth in England is evidentfrom the many lordshi ps he held at the general survey; for, besides thewhole of Cheshire, excepting the small par t which at that time belongedto the bishop, he had nine lordships in Berkshire, two in Devons hire,seven in Yorkshire, six in Wiltshire, ten in Dorsetshire, four inSomersetshire, thirty-t wo in Suffolk, twelve in Norfolk, one inHampshire, five in Oxfordshire, three in Buckinghamsh ire, four inGloucestershire, two in Huntingdonshire, four in Nottinghamshire, one inWarwicksh ire, and twenty-two in Leicestershire. It appears too, by thecharter of foundation to the abb ey of St. Werburge, at Chester, thatseveral eminent persons held the rank of baron under him , which Baronesand Homines mentioned therein were the following: -- 1.

HUGH D'AVRANCHES, EARL OF CHESTER
The Conqueror and His Companions
by J.R. Planché, Somerset Herald. London: Tinsley Brothers, 1874.

Here is a personage who, under the more popular name of Hugh Lupus, isperhaps almost as wel l known as the Conqueror himself.

Wace in his "Roman de Rou," speaks only of his father Richard:

"D'Avrancin i fu Richarz."

But it is generally contended that Richard was not in the battle, andthat it was Hugh, his so n, who accompanied William to Hastings. Theauthors of "Les Recherches sur le Domesday," to wh om we are so deeplyindebted for information on these points, hesitate to endorse the opiniono f Mons. le Prévost upon these grounds, -- that Richard was living aslate as 1082, when he app ears as a witness to a charter of Roger deMontgomeri, in favour of St. Stephen's at Caen, t o which also his son,Earl Hugh, is a subscriber. Their observations only point, however, toth e probability of Richard, who in 1066 was Seigneur or Vicomte ofAvranches, having been in th e Norman army of invasion, as he survived theevent some sixteen years; at the same time the y deny that there is anyproof that his son Hugh was in the battle, and assert, without statin g onwhat authority, that Hugh only joined the Conqueror in England after thevictory at Senlac , when he rendered the new King most important servicesby his valour and ability in the estab lishment of William on the throne,and contributed greatly towards the reduction of the Wels h to obedience.That there is authority for their assertion appears from the cartulary ofthe A bbey of Whitby, quoted by Dugdale in his "Monasticon," (Mon. Ang.vol. i, p. 72) where we rea d distinctly that Hugh Earl of Chester andWilliam de Percy came into England with William th e Conqueror in 1067:"Anno Domini millesimo sexagesimo septimo," and that the King gave Whitby to Hugo, which Hugo afterwards gave to William de Percy, the founder ofthe abbey there.

We have here, therefore, a parallel case to that of Roger de Montgomeri(Vide vol i, p. 181) , and must similarly treat it as an open question.

The descent of Richard, surnamed Goz, Le Gotz, or Le Gois, from Ansfridthe Dane, the first wh o bore that surname, has been more or lesscorrectly recorded, but in "Les Recherches" it wil l be found criticallyexamined and carried up to Rongwald, or Raungwaldar, Earl of Maere andth e Orcades in the days of Harold Harfager, or the Fair-haired; whichsaid Rongwald was the fath er of Hrolf, or Rollo, the first Duke ofNormandy. Rongwald, like the majority of his countrym en and kinsmen, hadseveral children by a favourite slave, whom he had married "more Danico,"a nd Hrolf Turstain, th.e son of one of them, having followed his uncleRollo into Normandy, man aged to secure the hand of Gerlotte de Blois,daughter of Thibaut Count of Blois and Chartres , which seems to have beenthe foundation of this branch of the great Norse family in Normandy , andthe stock from which descended the Lords of Briquebec, of Bec-Crispin, ofMontfort-sur-Ri sle, and others who figure as companions of the Conqueror.

The third son of Gerlotte was Ansfrid the Dane, the first Vicomte of theHiemois, and father o f Ansfrid the second, surnamed Goz, above mentioned,whose son Turstain (Thurstan, or Toustain ) Goz was the great favouritc ofRobert Duke of Normandy, the father of the Conqueror, and acc ompanied himto the Holy Land, and was intrusted to bring back the relics the Duke hadobtaine d from the Patriarch of Jerusalem to present to the Abbey ofCerisi, which he had founded. Rev olting against the young Duke William in1041 (Vide vol. i, p. 21), Turstain was exiled, and h is lands confiscatedand given by the Duke to his mother, Herleve, wife of Herluin deContevill e.

Richard Goz, Vicomte d'Avranches, or more properly of the Avranchin, wasone of the sons of th e aforesaid Turstain, by his wife Judith deMontanolier, and appears not only to have avoide d being implicated in therebellion of his father, but obtained his pardon and restoration t o theVicomté of the Hiemois, to which at his death he succeeded, and to havestrengthened hi s position at court by securing the hand of Emma deConteville, one of the daughters of Herlui n and Herleve, and half-sisterof his sovereign. By this fortunate marriage he naturally recov ered thelands forfeited by his father and bestowed on his mother-in-law, andacquired also muc h property in the Avranchin, of which he obtained theVicomté, in addition to that of the Hiem ois.

There was every reason, therefore, that he should follow his threebrothers-in-law in the expe dition to England, if not prevented by illnessor imperative circumstances. He must have bee n their senior by sometwenty years, but still scarcely past the prime of life, and his son Hu gha stripling under age, as his mother, if even older than her brothers Odoand Robert, coul d not have been born before 1030, and if married atsixteen, her son in 1066 would not be mor e than nineteen at the utmost.Mr. Freeman, who places the marriage of Herleve with Herluin af ter thedeath of Duke Robert in 1035, would reduce this calculation by at leastsix years, rend ering the presence of her grandson Hugh at Senlac morethan problematical. It is at any rate c lear that he must have been a veryyoung man at the time of the Conquest. That "he came into E ngland withWilliam the Conqueror," as stated by Dugdale, does not prove that he wasin the arm y at Hastings, and is reconcilable with the assertion in the"Recherches," that he joined hi m after the Conquest, corroborated by thecartulary of Whitby, before mentioned; very probabl y coming with him inthe winter of 1067, and in company with Roger de Montgomeri, respectingwh ose first appearance in England the same diversity of opinion exists,and it might be his assi stance in suppressing the rebellion in the Westand other parts of the kingdom that gained hi m the favour of the King,and ultimately the Earldom of Chester, at that time enjoyed by Gherb odthe Fleming, brother of Gundrada. The gift of Whitby, in Yorkshire, toHugh, which he soon a fterwards gave to William de Percy, would seem toshow that he had been employed against the r ebels beyond the Humber in1068.

In 1071, Gherbod Earl of Chester being summoned to Flanders by those towhom he had intruste d the management of his hereditary domains, whateverthey were, obtained from King William lea ve to make a short visit to thatcountry; but while there his evil fortune led him into a snar e, andfalling into the hands of his enemies, he was thrown into a dungeon,"where he endured, " says Orderic, "the sufferings of a long captivity,cut off from all the blessings of life. " Whether he ended his days inthat dungeon Orderic does not tell us. A little more informatio nrespecting this Gherbod and his sister would be a great boon to us. Atpresent, what we hea r about them is so vague that it looks absolutelysuspicious.

In consequence of this "evil fortune" which befell Gherbod, the King,continues Orderic, gav e the earldom of Chester to Hugh d'Avranches, sonof Richard, surnamed Goz, who, in concert wi th Robert de Rhuddlan andRobert de Malpas, and other fierce knights, made great slaughter amo ngstthe Welsh.

Hugh was in fact a Count Palatine, and had the county of Chester grantedto him to hold as fre ely by the sword as the King held the kingdom by thecrown. He was all but a king himself, an d had a court, and barons, andofficers, such as became a sovereign prince.

We hear but little of him during the remainder of the reign of Williamthe Conqueror, but in t he rebellion against Rufus, in 1096, he stoodloyally by his sovereign; he is charged, however , with having barbarouslyblinded and mutilated his brother-in-law, William Comte d'Eu, who ha dbeen made prisoner in that abortive uprising. In the same year he is alsoaccused of committi ng great cruelties upon the Welsh in the Isle ofAnglesea, which he ravaged in conjunction wit h Hugh de Montgomeri, Earlof Shrewsbury, who lost his life at that period in resisting the la ndingof the Norwegians nnder Magnus III, King of Norway. The Norse poet tellsus the Earl of S hrewsbury was so completely enveloped in armour thatnothing could be seen of his person but o ne eye. "King Magnus let fly anarrow at him, as also did a Heligoland man who stood beside th e King.They both shot at once. The one shaft struck the nose-guard of thehelmet, and bent i t on one side, the other arrow hit the Earl in the eyeand passed through his head, and this a rrow was found to be the King's."

Giraldus Cambrensis gives a similar account, adding some few details,such as the derisive exc lamation of Magnus, "Leit loupe! " -- "Let himleap!" as the Earl sprang from the saddle whe n struck, and fell dead intothe sea.

As this Earl of Shrewsbury was called by the Welsh "Goch," or "the Red,"from the colour of hi s hair, so was Hugh Earl of Chester called "Vras,"or "the Fat." His popular name of Lupus, o r "the Wolf," is not to betraced to his own times, and Dugdale observes that it was an additi on inafter ages for the sake of distinction; about the same time, I presume,that the herald s invented the coat of arms for him -- "Azure, a wolf'shead, erased, argent " -- suggested, p robably, by the name, which, ifindeed of contemporary antiquity, might have been given him fo r hisgluttony, a vice to which Orderic says he was greatly addicted. "ThisHugh," he tells us , "was not merely liberal, but prodigal; not satisfiedwith being surrounded by his own retain ers, he kept an army on foot. Heset no bounds either to his generosity or his rapacity. He co ntinuallywasted even his own domains, and gave more encouragement to those whoattended him i n hawking and hunting than to the cultivators of the soilor the votaries of Heaven. He indulg ed in gluttony to such a degree thathe could scarcely walk. He abandoned himself immoderatel y to carnalpleasures, and had a numerous progeny of illegitimate children of bothsexes, but t hey have been almost all carried off by one misfortune oranother."

With all this he displayed that curious veneration for the Church commonto his age, which s o ill accorded with the constant violation of its mostdivine precepts. He founded the Abbey o f St. Sever in Normandy, and was agreat benefactor to those of Bec and Ouche (St. Evroult) i n that duchy,and also to the Abbey of Whitby in Yorkshire, and in 1092 restored theancient Ab bey of St. Werburgh at Chester, and endowed it with amplepossessions, substituting Benedictin e monks in lieu of the secular canonswho had previously occupied it; Richard, a monk of Bec , being broughtover by Abbot Anselm, the Earl's confessor and afterwards the greatArchbisho p of Canterbury, to be the first abbot of the new community.

Being seized with a fatal illness, this pious profligate assumed themonastic habit in the Abb ey of St. Werburgh, and three days after beingshorn a monk died therein, 6th kalends of Augus t (July 27), 1101.

By his Countess Ermentrude, daughter of Hugh Comte de Clermont, inBeauvoisis, and Margaret d e Rouci, his wife, he had one son, Richard,seven years of age at the time of his father's dea th, who succeeded himin the earldom, married Matilda de Blois, daughter of Stephen, Count ofB lois, by Adela, daughter of William the Conqueror, and perished with hisyoung wife in the fat al wreck of the White Ship in 1119, leaving no issue.

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

Hugh, Count of Avranches and Earl of Chester presents the world of theeleventh century noblem an in its full diversity. A violent militaryadventurer, a student of vice and self-indulgence , he was a friend ofAnselm. Profligate with his income, he was a patron of monasteries. Hisho usehold contained a bunch of rowdy thugs; it was also cultivated, evenpious. Nicknamed 'the f at' or 'the wolf', Hugh died in the habit of aBenedictine monk. If contemporaries saw a contr adiction, they have leftno sign. Hugh, the son of the count of the Avranchin in western Norma ndyand nephew of William the Conqueror, probably fought at Hastings. Earlyin the 1070s he wa s granted palatine powers over a wide area of thenorthern Welsh Marches centered on Chester w ithin which, except forchurch lands and pleas, he, not the king, was sovereign. This grantall owed Hugh complete freedom to establish, by force, French control overthe northern frontier w ith Wales and to penetrate along the coast ofNorth Wales towards Anglesey. Hugh was outside r oyal supervision, a lawunto himself, a tactic copied with the Montgomerys in Shropshire. Taki ngfull advantage of his opportunity, he campaigned relentlessly against theWelsh, extending h is power to Bangor, where he established a bishopric in1092, and Anglesey. Beyond the Englis h frontier, however, his authoritycould only be sustained by castles, garrisons and repeate d raids which,in turn, provoked continual resistance and rebellion. On its fringes, theNorma n Conquest remained a messy affair. Elsewhere, Hugh was one of theleading magnates in the Ang lo-Norman realms, inheriting Avranches fromhis father in the 1080s and, by 1086, holding lan d in twenty countiesoutside Chester. In the succession disputes after the Conqueror's death,h e supported William II and Henry I. Hugh acquired a foul reputation:vicious; violent; addicte d to gambling and sex; and so greedy 'that,weighed down by a mountain of fat, he could hardl y move.' He was alsogenerous, which explains why his household was always crowded with manya s debauched and sybaritic as he. But there was another side. Hugh was,according to Eadmer, a n old and close friend of Anselm whom he persuadedto come to England in 1092 to supervise th e installation of a communityof monks at St Werburgh's Chester. Open-handed to 'good men, cle rks aswell as knights' as well as bad, he employed a Norman clerk, Gerold, whotook upon himse lf the moral instruction of his fellow courtiers, usingadmonitory stories from the Bible and , no doubt more popular, stirringtales of Christian warriors and 'holy knights.' In such a ra ucousatmosphere of passion, carnality, militarism and piety, was nurtured thementality which , in Hugh's lifetime, generated the Crusades. The knightswho, in 1099, stormed Jerusalem an d massacred its inhabitants, some ofthem Hugh's relatives and friends, shared this heady bre w ofself-righteous, self-pitying extremes of hedonism, brutality, guilt,obligation, spiritual ity and remorse. Hugh's only son Richard, who waschildless, drowned in the White Ship in Nove mber 1120.

Nicholas Barrinton was living in 1343, and died soon after. His eldest son John de Barenton succeeded him, on whom settlement had been made by his father in 1330 of his estates and his office of woodward. This was done on John's marriage to Margaret daughter and heir of Sir John Blomville. The seal is remaining to this settlement, it is of red wax an Eagle displayed surmounted by a shield with the Barrington arms three chevronells and a label of three points round it is inscribed

"Sig. Nicholai fil'i dni Nicholai de Barenton."

On the back of this deed are the following remarks in Mr Micklefield's writing,


Yre is no Consciens in kepying of Ye deeds with Mikyfeld enidence for it shal nevr case ye Baryntons no hurte the for ye hath be so long possession of Baryngton Hall in Hatfield, in the name of Barynton, ye is to say syth ye first Heneys days yt was sone to Willm Conquer and before but it myght hurte my son Rob Mekylfeld or hys heyr yt the heyr of my fadr Lawe Baryngton had it, & wolde be dispoyd to selle it, thanne yf he yt solde it dies wtout heyrs, my sone' or his heyr to ye Baryntons myght be delaid of their four done by yt dede.


Immediately on this settlement being made by his father, John claimed the woodwardship for himself as appears by the following statement,


John fitz Nicholas de Barenton of Hatfield Regis claimed (to be an appurtenant to his free tenement in Hatfield aforesaid, which he had of the gyft and feoffment of the said Nicholas his father, that is to say to the maner and ancient lands to the said Manor belonging, the which the ancestors of the said Nicholas had of gift and confirmation of the King) the Bailiwicks of the forestership and woodwardship. By virtue of which Bailiwick he was to have all the woods fallen by wind in the forest what kind of tree soever it were, and also the escheats of all sorts of trees that shall be fallen in the said forest, and if the Lord will fell in the forest any ancient trees called Stockhok he is to leave the stocks from the ground the height of a mans knee, and the said John was to dig up and have the same with the roots, and carry them away and also sufficiently to clear the said lands of the underwoods lying within the forest to wit, from Florentes Heene to Bush Endgates, and also that he should take in the said forest, at what time he should send in the yeare, so much underwood, as with the underwood and es-cheats aforesaid should be sufficient fewel for his expenses in his tenement in the town aforesaid, and also to gather nuts in the forest at reasonable times, the Lord one day with his tenants, and he another day with his tenants, and also that he have a stock of hay in the Lords meadow called the marsh, the Lord to choose the first best, and he to have the second best after and also to common in the said forest with all manner of beasts, as his father and his ancestors had at all times used, which profits the feoffee of the said John and his ancestors had enjoyed time out of mind.


John de Barenton was also keeper and woodward of the Earl of Oxford's park and warren of Great Canfield, as appears by letter patent from John de Vere, seventh Earl of Oxford, dated Hedingham 6th of March, 25th year of King Edward the Third, by which he gave and granted


To his faithful friend and servant John de Barenton the keeperage of his park and Warren of all his outwoods in Kanfeld. To have and to hold the same bailiwick, soe long as it shod please the said Earl, and to take of him for every ten weeks one quarter of wheat, one cart load of hay. and three quarters of oats, and five shillings in silver yearly for his fee to issue out of said Manor, and one Robe, of the same that the Esquires of his Household did wear, and as made his common livery to himself. And he also granted that the said John shold have in his Park of Kanfeld pasture for four Cows, one Bullock, one Colt, and four Hogs ringed, to feed and eat the pannage all the year within the said Park. And also that he have all the wood fallen by the wind within the park, except great timber, and that he have all the fern growing within the said Park, and outwoods without disturbance of the said Earl, or any under him. And also that he have the escheats of trees within the said Park and Warren aforesaid. And willed that the said John shold answer for all manner of trespasses done in all the woods within his Bailiwick, and present all trespassers at every Court his Lordships Steward or his Deputy shold hold at his manor of Kanfeld aforesaid.


John de Barenton was knighted by King Edward the Third, in his father's life time, and had a resettlement of his estates made in the year 1345 by a deed from John Knyvet, rector of Dunmow, and William Amys, chaplain of Hatfield, by which they gave and granted to John de Barenton, son of Nicholas de Barenton, and to Margaret his wife, all lands tenements &c with the woodwardship of the forest.
Sir John was living in 1368 as he appears as a witness to a deed April 20 the 41st year of King Edward the Third, but he must have died soon after, as in a deed dated 11th of Jan. in the 42nd year of Edward the Third, Humphrey de Bohun, Earl of Essex, Hereford and Northampton, Constable of England, at the request of his dear and well beloved John Knyvet, discharged Dame Margaret Barenton, wife of the late Sir John Barenton, for her life, from all services and customs due from the tenements she held in Hatfield, excepting quit rents, with an acknowledgement of services due, and the care of the fence round his park.

@www.southfrm.demon.co.uk/Genealogy/Barr.html:

The exact time of the death of Sir Nicholas does not appear; he is found as a witness to a deed in 1330, and must have died soon after, as in 1336 his eldest son, Nicholas Barenton, was in possession of the estates. He married Emma, daughter of Sir Robert Baard, by whom he had four sons, John, Humphrey, Thomas, and Phillip. The youngest son, Phillip, married Joan, daughter of John Pykot, of Hatfield, by whom he had three children, Richard, John and Alice; this appears by a deed in which all three are named, dated in the 20th year of King Edward the Third, settling a house and lands on them. This estate was situated at Colewell, or Collier Street in Hatfield, and on it Phillip and his descendants resided. Four generations of them are named in deeds now in existence. First, Phillip himself is described as Phillip Barenton of Colewell. Secondly, Richard, son of Phillip Barenton of Colewell; he had a wife whose name was Joan. Thirdly, John, son of Richard barenton of Colewell. And Fourthly [sic], John, son of John, son of Richard Barenton of Colewell. This John, in a deed dated 1397, quit-claimed a pasture called Halimere to John son of Sir John Barrinton, and in it styles himself as above. In another deed, dated 1423, he is called "John Barynton" "Yeoman," to distinguish himself from John Barynton, the then owner of Barrington Hall, called in the same deed Esquire. In a deed dated Jany. 1st, 1433, John Petigrew, John Schrubb the glover and John Baron the carpenter, release to William Casse and others, all the lands and tenements they held in common fee with "John Barynton, Yeoman" now deceased. He appears to have been the last of this branch of the family as there is no further trace of them.

Sir Nicholas de Barenton was steward to Robert de Brus, Lord of Annandale, and had from him a quit-claim of an annual rent of twenty-one shillings, payable out of lands held under him at Hatfield, reserving only sixpence to be paid each year at Michaelmas, the keeping in order thirteen perches of the fence round the park, and the payment of any tax the King might impose.
There is a curious patent from King Edward the Second, dated York, September 4th, in the 18th year of his reign, and sealed with his Privy seal, which is still attached to the letter and nearly perfect; it is in red wax, three leopards, or lions, passant.
The letter states that the King was informed that Robert de Brus was bound to Nicholas de Barenton for the payment of the sum of eighty pounds for cloth and other things that Nicholas had bought for him, Nicholas being his steward for his lands in Essex, with which money Nicholas was willing to aid his Majesty's dear and faithful subject Sir Thomas de Mandeville in part of his ransom, he being detained in prison by the Scots. That the said Robert de Brus was ready to pay that sum to the said Sir Thomas de Mandeville, at such time as Nicholas de Barenton should send him an acquittance for the money, which acquittance could not be made or sent without special license from the King; his majesty, therefore, at the request of his dear sister the Countess of Hereford by these letters, gave leave that Nicholas might make the required acquittance to the aforesaid Robert de Brus, without any hindrance or challenge from the King, or his heirs, or any of his officers whatsoever.
Sir Nicholas had by his wife Alice Belhouse four sons, Nicholas who succeeded him, Thomas, Roger, and Philip. Of Thomas and Roger there is not any trace; Philip married Margaret daughter of Sir William Tey; he was knighted and resided at Rayleigh, as did his son Nicholas who was keeper of the King's park there. This Nicholas married Margaret Cloville and had a son John, who was the last male representative of this branch of the Barringtons. He and his wife Thomasine were buried at Rayleigh, where there was formerly a monument to their memory. They had an only daughter, and heiress, Thomasine, she was thrice married: first to William Lunsford, of Lunsford in Sussex; secondly to William Sydney, of Penshurst in kent; and thirdly to John Hopton, of Cockfield Hall in te parish of Yoxford in Suffolk; in the church of which they place her daughter by her second husband, William Sydney, is buried. Her son by her first husband, William Lunsford, whose name was also William, succeed on her death to the property called Barringtons, at Rayleigh. She is named as Thomasine Hopton in a memorandum dated 1459, which will be mentioned in the account of the next owner of the estates.
The exact time of the death of Sir Nicholas does not appear; he is found as a witness to a deed in 1330, and must have died soon after, as in 1336 his eldest son, Nicholas Barenton, was in possession of the estates.
1306 Alice Bellhouse ~0885 Olaf Bjornsson King of Sweden 1030 BC Askhabet He was the High Priest of Ptah at Memphis. 1269 Nicholas de Barrington Roger de Quency Earl of Winchester granted and confirmed to Nicholas de Barenton and to Agnes his wife, and to his heirs by her, all the land they held of this fee in the town of Cington in Wiltonshire; to be held freely from all other secular services and demands, with warranty against all men for ever: for which grant the said Nicholas gave one hundred shillings. This confirmation was dated London, Thursday next before the Feast of St. Peter in Cathedra, in the 43rd year of King Henry son of King John.
In the 47th year of the same King, Agnes de Barenton, sometime wife of Nicholas de Barenton, made an agreement with Peter From "Transactions of the Essex Archaeological Society", Vol I, Colchester, pp 251-273, The History of the Barrington Family
@www.southfrm.demon.co.uk/Genealogy/Barr.html:

Nicholas and John Townsend (ad finem Villae) Walter Young, and John Kabe, granting to them, to have and to hold, for six years all her lands, meadows and pastures, with pannage of hogs, and all cows and other animals to her lands in the name of the pastures belonging, situated in the Vill of Compton, rendering to her, or to her attorney, at Triplow at two terms of the year, nine marks and a half, she allowing to the tenants, their reasonable expenses for bringing the rent to Triplow. The tenants were bound to keep all the buildings in repair, excepting the "Solar" which was nearly a ruin--'excepto solario quod minatur ruinam." (The solar is an upper chamber.) It would seem from the deed and one from Roger de Quency that Cington and Compton in Wiltshire came to this Lady Agnes. She must have been a woman of rank, as she is always named Lady, and as her husband was not a Knight, she was probably the widow of one. She was the daughter of William Chetwynd. She had three brothers, William, John and Philip, whose names are found as witnesses to deeds and were all Knights. It is stated she had a fourth brother, Adam, also a Knight, and that she inherited property from an uncle, Sir William Lovell, but of these last named there is not any trace from any deed or paper remaining.
Barrington Hall at Triplow in Cambridgeshire was settled by Sir Nicholas on his son Nicholas at hs marriage to Agnes, and there, after her husbands death, she continued to reside. Humphrey, the second son of Sir Nicholas, was married to a lady whose Christian name was Auda, but her family name does not appear anywhere. More of him and his wife, Auda, will be mentioned hereafter.
The following is an account of an enquiry held at Hatfield in which Geoffrey the son of Sir Nicholas is named: it is taken from an old roll endorsed "Sureties for Richard Child and Geoffrey de Barenton to shew by what authority they removed a stag, found dead at Hatfield, before it had been seen by the verderers."


COURT AT HATFIELD

It happened Sunday in the Octave of St. Hilary in the twenty-fifth year of the reign of King Henry, son of King John, that as Clement Godcop was going to the monastery of Hatfield Regis, he saw a stag lying dead in one of Agnes de Bosco's Fields, called the Eastfield. He immediately informed Geoffrey de Barenton, the woodward, who ordered the foresters and verderers to summon a jury from four neighbouring towns, viz., Hatfield Regis, Hallingbury de Burgh, Hallingbury Neville, and Earls Canfield. The men of Hatfield said the neither knew, nor had they heard anything as to the cause of the stag's death, although they thought that most likely it had been caused by murrain as there was no wound that they could discover. The other jurors said the same.
The tithing men of Hatfield, namely, Richard Child and Roger Holdhead; those of Canfield namely, William de Beauchamp, and Jocelin Fitzmaurice; those of Hallingbury de Burgh, namely Roger de Kastenhe, and Roger de Bosco, were all ordered to attend before the Justices of the forest courts, when they were next sitting to hear pleas.--Clement Godcop, Agnes de Bosco, and her four nearest neighbours were likewise bound over to be at the same court and to find sureties for their appearance. Those who were sureties for Clement Godcop were William le Botciler and Stephen the son of Ernulph, those for Agnes were Richard Duchar and John Arnewy, Nicholas Fitzralph, Peter Fitzwilliam, Geoffrey Fitzmichael, William de Haslingfield, William de Livething, Walter le Newman, Roger Strongbow, and Roger Fitzwido were bound for the appearance of the four neighbours of Agnes. The head and horns of the stag were ordered to be carefully kept till the court by Richard Child.

Sir Nicholas de Barenton, on his father's death, succeeded to his estates and office: by virtue of which last he appears to have summoned to his forest court all the Regarders, Verderers and Agistors of the forest of Essex. He and his uncle Warin were witnesses to Richard de Montfichet's endowment of the Priory of Tremhall in the parish of Stanstead Montfichet. This Priory was founded by Gilbert de Montfichet, but his son Richard was its great benefactor, endowing it largely with lands and contributing greatly to the expense of the buildings. It was dedicated to St James, and possessed property in Stanstead, Takeley, Little Clacton and Birchanger, with the advowson of the church of Stanstead, and, at one time, of that of Takeley also. Sir Warin de Barentone was buried at Tremhall, as were several others of the barringtons. It was the burying place also of the Montfichets and some of the De Veres. The Montfichet family became extinct in the male line in the reign of King Henry the Third and Camden says, "The Barrington family are greatly enriched by the estates of the Montfichets which fell to them."
Sir Nicholas de Barenton was married twice, first to Mary daughter of John Boville, by whom he had not any issue, and secondly to Joan daughter of Sir Ralph Montoft, by whom he had several sons, of whom the names of Nicholas, Humphrey, Hugh, Richard and Geoffrey, are found, and will be mentioned hereafter. He had also five daughters, Margaret, wife of Sir james Umpharaville, Isabella, wife of John de Sidneia, Agatha, Cicely and Joyce. Nicholas his eldest son, married Agnes daughter of Sir William Chetwynd, and had three sons, Nicholas, John and George, and one daughter Isabella, who married Ralph de Coggeshall. Nicholas died before his father in the reign of King Henry the Third, having made his will in writing and

"thereby comended his soul to God and his body to be buried in Triplow Church, and gave to the lady Agnes his wife one cart and all his hogges and sheep, and the moveable utensils of his house and all the corn on the lands of William Mulciter, and all his land that he had in the town of Triplow which he had by purchase or gift. Item, to Sir Hount the vicar five marks. To his sone John six marks. To William Gernon forth shillings. Item, to a certain chapel at Wiliabere one mark, and twenty sheep there being. Item, twenty shillings to satisfy the wages of his servants detained. Item, to Humphrey his brother a horse, and he constituted Sir Nicholas his father, Humphrey his brother, the lady Agnes his wife, Sir John de Mickelfield, and Simon de Ashwell, his executors to dispose of all his goods moveable and immoveable for the health of his soul."

(This will is still in existence, but is nearly illegible. It has apparently been wetted with some mixture to shew the fading ink more clearly, but the liquid applied has itself become black, and has thus almost obliterated what it meant to clear.)
Some rather curious parts of this will are not named in the MS. account of it copied above. It begins--

"In the name of the Father, Son and Holy Ghost. This is the will of Nicholas de barenton which he made in the night next after the feast of St. Botolph, before midnight, in te presence of Sir Adam the vicar of Triplow, William Gernon, the lady Agnes wife of the said Nicholas, Geoffrey the clerk, and John the said Nicholas' servant. First he leaves his soul to God, the Blessed Mary and all Saints, his body to be buried at Tremhall, and to the Church at Triplow his best horse, and his best ox, and, for a wax candle to burn before the alter there, four quarters of barley and his bed, and to the altar of St. Nicholas at Tremhall three quarters of wheat and three quarters of draget."

It then goes on with the legacies as before stated. The MS. names Triplow as the place where his body is to be buried. The will says Tremhal

In a curious deed, Radullphus de Upton, of West Ham, granted to Humphrey de Barenton the care of all his lands, other things, receipts, and rents, as also the wardship and marriage of his son Robert to any one, he, Humphrey, should please; and in case of Robert's death, the marriage of his son, William, and of his two daughters, Aveline and Beatrix, binding himself in the case of the death of his wife Matilda not to marry again, so as not to interfere with the rights of his sons. There are two other deeds relating to Humphrey de Barenton, one is a grant of land in Hatfield to him from Alan de Buiss, for which he gave to the grantor a mark of silver, to his wife Juliana twelve pence, and the same sum to his son and heir Nicholas. The other is a surrender and quit claim to him of part of a wood at Ramsden. Humphrey is said to have married Amicia, daughter of Sir William de Mandeville, third son of Geoffrey de Mandeville, first Earl of Essex. This Sir William de Mandeville, on the death of his brother Geoffrey without issue, became himself third Earl, and in all accounts of the family is stated to have died without issue, and indeed this must have been the case, as all his estates descended to his father's sister's grandchild, Beatrix de Say, whose husband, Geoffrey Fitzpiers, was in consequence created Earl of Essex. This Amicia, the wife of Humphrey de Barenton, if the daughter of William de Mandeville, must have been a natural child. She seems to have inherited considerable property, as in the Close Rolls in the reign of Henry the Third, is an order to the Sheriff of Essex to give to Humphrey de Barenton and Amicia his wife peaceable possession of their lands in Shevington, Waleden and Teyden on their doing the service for them they had been accustomed to perform. If however Robert Fitzwalter of any other person should require any service from the said lands, the Sheriff was to appoint a day for his appearance in Court before the King, when full justice should be done to him. The chattells which had been seized, and of which Robert kept possession, were to be restored without any delay. This Robert Fitzwalter was father of William de Mandeville's second wife Christiana. There is a very curious agreement (which unfortunately is so stained as to be illegible in some places) between Humphrey de Barenton and Alan de Sepere, by which Humphrey became security with Alan to Benjamin and his sister Cissorie, Jews at Cambridge, for the payment of two pounds per annum for eight years. The first payment to be at Michaelmas next after the marriage of Earl William to the daughter of the Earl of Albermarle. Alan de Sepere giving to Humphrey, as a security, a mortgage on all the fee Humphrey held under him ; so that should he, Humphrey, be called upon to pay any part of the debt, he should have full possession of the fee, without any restriction, until he was repaid all the money he had advanced. The Earl William named in this agreement, was the William de Mandeville, whose daughter Amicia Humphrey married, and the agreement refers to his, William's, marriage to his first wife, Haurse, or Aricia, daughter of William le Gros, Earl of Albermarle. Humphrey was knighted by King Henry the Second as was his brother Warin by King John. Warin and his younger brother Richard appear as witnesses to the above-named agreement with Alan de Sepere and their names are found to deeds relating to property in Hatfield. Humphrey had a son and heir Nicholas, of whom hereafter, and several other sons, William, Hugh and Colin are all met with. William is named as the owner of land at Nosterfield in a deed, without date, from Henry de Capeles to the Prior and Monks of Hatfield. Hugh in 1221 is called "Magister Hugo de Barenton, Carpentarius," and Colin held an office in the Forest of Essex, and several orders are addressed to him by the King, some of which will be named in the account of the Forest.

@www.southfrm.demon.co.uk/Genealogy/Barr.html:

He had three sons, Humphrey, John and Eustace, all of whose names are found as witnesses to a charter, without date, from Michael de Bosville. Eustace died in the reign of King Stephen and was succeeded by his eldest son, Humphrey de Barenton, to whom William de Mountfitchet confirmed all the forest rights he had before granted to Humphrey's father Eustace, to be held as well and honorably as his father held them; and this grant he made by the advice of his wife Margaret, and of his good men and true. King Stephen confirmed this grant and those from Henry the First, and also his own as to holding all the lands his father had held, and in a second Charter he ordered that he should hold freely his lands "in Hadfeld and Writtle and Hadfield and Havering and Witherfeld." This shows him a landowner at Hatfield Peverell as well as Hatfield Regis. Indeed Chauncy, in his history of Hertfordshire, states that the Barringtons, in the time of King Henry the First, held lands in Rameldon, Hatfield Peverell, Writtle, Ravensfield, Havering, Barking, Slyford, Chigwell and Shelton in addition to Hatfield Regis. There is not a grant now extant to shew that this was the case, and most probably some of these lands came into the possession of the family much later.
.
King Henry the Second gave to Humphrey de Barenton a full confirmation of the grant from his grandfather, Henry the First, to Eustace de Barenton, of the Forestership and the lands given with it. After the death of William de Mountfitchet his son Gilbert confirmed his father's grant to Humphrey de Barenton. And Geoffrey de Mandeville, who had been created Earl of Essex, gave Humphrey a confirmation of the grant he had formerly given him jointly with his father Eustace. Humphrey de Barenton had also a confirmation of a grant to his father from Aubrey de Vere of the Manor of Chigwell and of lands there.
Of this grant there is only a copy to be found. These Chigwell estates remained the property of the Barrington family to the time of Queen Elizabeth when they were sold by Sir Thomas Barrington. Morant states:

"From the Feodary of the de Veres, Earls of Oxford, it is manifest that the following persons of the name of Barrington held the Manor of Chigwell under them ---- George Barrington in 1263, William Barrington in 1270, Geoffrey Barrington in the reign of King Edward the First, Geoffrey Barrington in 1429, John Barrington in 1447, and Thomas Barrington in 1466, Margaret wife of Thomas Barrington that died in 1479 held jointly with him the Manor of Little Chigwell, called Barrington's Manor, of Anne Duchess of Buckingham, as part of her hundred of Ongar by the service of doing suit at the Sheriff's court in that hundred, and a rent of six pence per annum."

All the above names will be mentioned hereafter with exception of the second Geoffrey of whom there is not any trace. The first one named was one of the sons of Sir Nicholas, son of Sir Humphrey. He is mentioned as Woodward in the reign of King Henry the Third. The dates to the two first named in the extract are most probably incorrect, as the only George to be found was great nephew to William, who is here placed after him in 1270. Thomas Barrington, it will clearly be shown, died in 1470, not 1479.
Humphrey de Barenton had also a grant, from King Stephen, of lands in Ramsden, Barking, and Birchanger, which was confirmed by King Henry the Second; but neither of these charters is to be found. He was a witness to the foundation charter of Woodham Priory, and a benefactor to the Abbey of Waltham. His wife was Griselda, daughter of Ralph de Marcy, and he inherited in her right the Manor of Kelvendon with lands there. This Ralph de Marcy had lands also at Hatfield, as it is stated in Doomsday Boom, that half a hide of land had been recovered, formerly held by a Socman under Earl Harold, but which Ralph de Marcy then held. Humphrey had three sons, Humphrey, Warine and Richard, the names of the two latter are found in deeds and will be mentioned hereafter. The eldest Sir Humphrey de Barenton succeeded his father in his estates and office, being then a minor and ward of King Henry the Second. He lived in the reigns of King Henry the Second, Richard the First, and John, and was Sheriff of Essex and Hertfordshire in the ninth year of Richard the First. He was a benefactor of Hatfield Priory, and it is singular that his gift of a rent charge of twelve pence per annum is the only one that can be traced from the Barrington family to that priory.

Eustace de Barentone was son of Sir Odynell and certainly Forester or Woodward of Hatfield Forest under the de Gernon otherwise Mountfitchet family. This is proved by several existing grants to him.
The earliest is from King Henry the first, who calls him his servant, and grants to him for keeping his Forest, the land that had belonged to Geoffrey and also that which Adam had forfeited, these were probably Saxons as there are no additions to their names. Geoffrey was called the Forester, and was most likely an under woodward at Hatfield. Adam's land was held at a rent of twelve shillings a year, and Eustace had it granted to him on the same terms. All this was confirmed to him by King Stephen, and a second charter by the same king shews him to have been a considerable landowner, as does one from Geoffrey de Mandeville, jointly to him and his son Humphrey.
(This last is curious from there being an attested copy of it, taken in the year 1677, by which it appears that the torn part of the deed was in the same state, then as it is at present, the names of some of the witnesses being imperfect.)
Eustace the Forester fixed his residence at Barrington (old) hall (now a farmhouse), which is close to the edge of the Forest and there his descendants continued to reside until they took possession of the Priory about the latter end of the reign of Queen Elizabeth. Eustace is stated to have married Matilda or Milreda, daughter of Peter de Montford, Lord of Beaudesert, although another account names her as one of the de Alveto family.

@www.southfrm.demon.co.uk/Genealogy/Barr.html:

He was most likely father of Sir Odynell de Barentone commonly called Barenton the Saxon and was before the Conquest Lord of Wegon. He was related to (or perhaps connected by marriage with) Robert de Gernon to whom the Manor and Chase of Hatfield had been granted, and at which place Odynell certainly had property. And although the Barony of Wegon was taken from him at the Conquest, it does not appear that he was deprived of any of his lands in Cambridgeshire or Essex.
It is stated that he was woodman of Hatfield Forest, and, although there is no grant or charter now to shew it, this was most probably the case. His wife was Isabella, daughter of John Wicmarc, one of the same family as Swene the Sheriff of Essex at the time of the Conquest.

@www.southfrm.demon.co.uk/Genealogy/Barr.html:

IN the paper read at the meeting of the Society at Barrington Hall, allusion was frequently made to the Barrington Family which, though now extinct, was a very ancient and prominent one in the county and I feel that the following account of it compiled by the late William Clayton, Esq., from deeds and manuscripts in my own possession cannot fail to be interesting to our members and a fitting sequel to the history of Hatfield Broad Oak. This history will be followed by the history of the Priory and the Forest, also compiled by the late Mr. Clayton.
The Barrington Family were originally settled at Barrington, in Cambridgeshire, to which place they either gave a name, or from it took their own.
In a M.S. account of the Barringtons, written about the year 1677, which will be referred to hereafter, it is stated:

"It is the greatest honor and happiness of this family that it embraced the Christian faith upon the first preaching thereof here, by the English Apostle St Augustine, for there was lately seene in the Tower of London a record or memorial that Adam of Barrington was baptised by him the sayd Augustine."

Of this Adam de Barentone there is not now any trace whatever to be found. The first really met with is Barenton, who was servant to Queen Emma, wife of King Ethelred and mother of Edward the Confessor. Randulfus de Barentone probably son of the above was one of those sworn by William the Conqueror to assist in taking the general account of the kingdom, he was employed in Cambridgeshire, and made the return for the Hundred of Trepeslaw (now Triplow) in that County. He was most likely father of Sir Odynell de Barentone commonly called Barenton the Saxon and was before the Conquest Lord of Wegon

Burial: Leader of the Magna Charta Barons

Robert's daughter Maud (or Matilda) was the basis of the legendary Maid Marion of Robin Hood. Leader of the Barons against King John.

This feudal lord, upon the assessment of the scutage of Scotland in the 13th of John [1212], had the king's especial writ of acquittal for sixty-three knights' fees and a half, which were of his own proper inheritance; and for thirty knights' fees, and a third part which he had acquired by marriage. But the next year he was forced to fly with his family into France in order to avoid being arrested upon the first disposition of the barons to revolt; and was soon afterwards charged with treason and rebellion, when his house, called Baynard Castle, in the city of London, was demolished by order of the king.

"The primary occasion of these discontents," say Dugdale, "is by some thus reported: viz., -- that this Robert Fitz-Walter having a very beautiful dau. called Maude, residing at Dunmow, the king frequently solicited her chastity but, never prevailing, grew so enraged that he caused her to be privately poisoned, and that she was buried at the south side of the quire at Dunmow, between two pillars there."

FitzWalter, however, is said, subsequently, to have made his peace with King John by the great prowess and valour he displayed at a tournament, held in Normandy before the kings of France and England, where, running a tilt with his great lance, he overthrew his rival at the first course, which act of gallantry caused the English monarch to exclaim, "By God's Tooth, he deserves to be a king who hath such a soldier of his train;" and afterwards, ascertaining the name of the victorious knight, he immediately sent for him and, having restore his barony, gave him liberty to repair his castle of Baynard. In the 17th of King John, FitzWalter had so far regained the confidence of the crown that he was appointed governor of the castle at Hertford; but soon after, arraying himself under the baronial banner, his lands were all seized and those in Cornwall committed to Prince Henry, the king's son; a course of proceeding that had the immediate effect of riveting the haughty baron to the cause which he had espoused, while his high rank, tried courage, and acknowledged abilities soon gave him a lead amongst his compeers. We find him, therefore, amongst the first commissioners nominated to treat with the king when it was agreed that the city of London should be delivered up to the barons, and twenty-five of those powerful feudal chiefs chosen to govern the realm. The insurrectionary lords subsequently assembled at St. Edmundsbury, and there pledged themselves, by solemn oath at the high altar, that, if the king refused to confirm the laws and liberties granted by Edward the Confessor, they would withdraw their allegiance from him and seize upon his fortresses. After which, forming themselves into a regular army, they appointed this Robert FitzWalter their general with the title of Marshal of the army of God and the Church, and under his command they eventually extorted the Great Charters of Freedom from John on the plains of Runnymede, when FitzWalter was elected one of the celebrated twenty-five appointed to see the faithful observance of those laws. He continued, during the remainder of John's reign, equally firm to his purpose; and after the accession of Henry III until the battle of Lincoln, where the baronial army sustained a signal defeat under his command, and he became a prisoner himself after displaying a more than ordinary degree of valour. He does not appear, however, to have remained long under restraint, for we find him the very next year in the Holy Land, and assisting at the great siege of Damietta.
This eminent feudal baron m. 1st, Gunnora, dau. and heiress of Robert de Valoines, and had issue, Walter, his successor; Matilda; Christian, m. 1st to William Mandeville, Earl of Essex, and 2ndly, to Raymond de Burgh. He m. 2ndly, Rose ---, and dying at the siege of Damietta in 1234, was s. by his son, Walter FitzWalter.

~1173 Gunora de Valoines ~0910 - 0986 Harald Gormsson 76 76 King of Denmark

Harald refused to accept the crown until he had first performed his father's obsequies with all the magnificence becoming his high rank. One of his earliest was the conquest of Norway, which became a province of Denmark. Styrbear, King of Sweden, solicited the aid of King Harold in one of his wars, and to enforce his request he brought along with him Gyntha, his sister, a lady of admirable beauty. The stratagem had the intended effect; Harold Bluetooth became enamored and married her. The progress of Christianity gained some headway during his reign, and the King received baptism, and erected a splendid church. His daughter Gunilda married Richard I, Duke of Normandy.

He served in the military in 1066 in Hastings, Sussex, England. FALAISE ROLL of Companions of William the Conqueror.

The name Banastre was derived from Banastre, now Beneter, near Etampes, and Camden says it is the title of office latinized into Balneator, master of the bath. Robert Banastre came to England at the conquest and an ancient pedigree of this family, beginning with Robert down to the time of Edward I, is preserved on the rolls of parliament. He held Prestatyn, one of the hundreds of Flintshire, under Robert of Rhudlaw (De Rodelent), a kinsman of the Conqueror, where a castle was built which was destroyed by
the Welsh during the reign of Henry II. The family then withdrew to Lancashire, where they held possessions under the earl of Chester. In a deed of 1106, Richard Banastre, a baron of Cheshire, appears, and in 1128 is a witness to a charter of Robert De Meschines. He also held in capite
in Shropshire, under Henry I, as lord of Munslow and Aston-Munslow in 1115. Later on the barony of Newton and the lordship of Walton-in-the-Dale passed through the female line to the Langtons, where they remained for about 300 years. The family spread to many parts of England. A member of the Lancashire Bannisters was a knight of the order of the Garter. The name appears on the rolls of Holinshed, Duchesne and Leland.

~1085 Rosamond de Novant 0800 - 0844 Harald Halfdansson 44 44 King in Jutland
He was also King of Rustringen and Jutland, Regent in the lands of the Stormarn and Obotrites.

Harold's title of Ruler of Jutland seems a bit pretentious; he was granted the fife of Rustringen by the mouth of the Weser in 826. First, he had been baptized with the Emperor as godfather, from whom he received munificent christening presents.
He is credited by some as having built the Danevirke, one of the largest of northern Europe's ancient defensive works. The entire complex consists of several different ramparts, about 18 miles in length, running from the Schlei fjord in the east to the rivers Rheide and Treene in the West. The first phase, the North Wall, was built in 737 (dated by dendrochronology); the East Wall, protecting the Svansen peninsula from the south is believed to be of about the same age (no scientific dating yet). The 'Great Wall', the third phase, makes a zigzag across the country from Hedeby in the east to nearly Hollingstedt in the west where the two rivers meet to form the Eider. This third section has been dated to 951-968, suggesting that Harald 'Bluetooth' (who was responsible for vast structures elsewhere in the country) commissioned it.
In 974, the year after Emperor Otto I died, the Danevirke was taken by Otto II.
The Danevirke was expanded during the 11th and 12th centuries to defend against both Slav and German attacks. During the second half of the 12th century, Valdemar 'The Great' added a wall of brick. It was extended for the last time in 1864 when the Prussians attacked Denmark.

Note: Baron Guy's chief seat was in the marches of Wales, received command to assist the Earl of Gloucester against the Welch, and in 42nd of the same reign (1216-1272) he had a military summons for similar service. We find him subsequently, however, arrayed under the baronial banner and constituted, after the victory of Lewes, Governor of Castles Cardigan and Kermerdyn in Wales, but he soon afterwards returned to his allegiance to the king and was one of the sureties for Robert de Vere, Earl of Oxford, in 51st of Henry III, that this nobleman should deport himself peaceably thenceforth, and abide by the dictum of Kenilworth for the redemption of his lands. At the battle of Lewis he was on the part of Simon de Montfort and his rebellious adherents, but Sir Guy de Bryan, also shortly after the battle, made his peace and returned to obedience. This Guy de Bryan married Maud, daughter and sole heir of Henri de Tracy.

BIOGRAPHY: "Dal Riada - in descent from Cairbre Rioghfhoda, in the line of Heremon. Dal Riata was the tribal and territorial name of the early tribes of County Antrim, particularly the northeast portion. The Dal Riada extended their kingdom into Scotland probably during the 3rd to the 7th centuries. The early term that the Romans referred to these and other tribes in Ireland was the "Scoti", thus the legend of where Scotland received its name.
An early genealogy of Dal Riata cites their common ancestor, Glass, a quo sunt Síl Cuind & Dál Riata & Ulaid & Laigin & Ossairgi. His lineage is stated as:

William de Albini, surnamed "William with the strong hand," from the following circumstance, as related by Dugdale:---

"It happened that the Queen of France, being then a widow, and a very beautify woman, became much in love with a knight of that country, who was a comely person, and in the flower of his youth: and because she thought that no man excelled him in valour, she caused a tournament to be proclaimed throughout her dominions, promising to reward those who should exercise themselves therein, according to their respective demerits; and concluding that if the person whom she so well affected could act his part better than the others in those military exercises, she might marry him without any dishonour to herself. Hereupon divers gallant men, from forrain parts hastening to Paris, amongst others came this our William de Albini, bravely accoutered, and in the tournament excelled all others, overcoming many, and wounding one mortally with his lance, which being observed by the queen, she became exceedingly enamoured of him, and forthwith invited him to a costly banquet, and afterwards bestowing certain jewels upon him, offered him marriage; but, having plighted his troth to the Queen of England, then a widow, he refused her, whereat she grew so much discontented that she consulted with her maids how she might take away his life; and in pursuance of that design, inticed him into a garden, where there was a secret cave, and in it a fierce lion, unto which she descended by divers steps, under colour of shewing him the beast; and when she told him of its fierceness, he answered, that it was a womanish and not a manly quality to be afraid thereof. But having him there, by the advantage of a folding door, thrust him in to the lion; being therefore in this danger, he rolled his mantle about his arm and, putting his hand into the mouth of the beast, pulled out his tongue by the root; which done, he followed the queen to her palace and gave it to one of her maids to present her. Returning thereupon to England, with the fame of this glorious exploit, he was forthwith advanced to the Earldom of Arundel, and for his arms the lion given him."

He subsequently obtained the hand of the Queen Adeliza, relict of King Henry I, and daughter of Godfrey, Duke of Lorraine, which Adeliza had the castle of Arundel in dowry from the deceased monarch, and thus her new lord became its feudal earl. The earl was one of those who solicited the Empress Maud to come to England, and received her and her brother, Robert, Earl of Gloucester, at the port of Arundel, in August, 1139, and in three years afterwards (1142), in the report made of King Stephen's taking William de Mandevil at St. Albans, it is stated -- "that before he could be laid hold on, he underwent a sharp skirmish with the king's party, wherein the Earl of Arundel, though a stout and expert soldier, was unhorsed in the midst of the water by Walkeline de Oxeai, and almost drowned." In 1150, his lordship wrote himself Earl of Chichester, but we find him styled again Earl of Arundel, upon a very memorable occasion -- namely, the reconciliation of Henry Duke of Normandy (afterwards Henry II) and King Stephen at the siege of Wallingford Castle in 1152. "It was scarce possible," says Rapin, "for the armies to part without fighting. Accordingly the two leaders were preparing for battle with equal ardour, when, by the prudent advice of the Earl of Arundel, who was on the king's side, they were prevented from coming to blows." A truce and peace followed this interference of the earl's, which led to the subsequent accession of Henry after Stephen's decease, in whose favour the Earl stood so high that he not only obtained for himself and his heirs the castle and honour of Arundel, but a confirmation of the Earldom of Sussex, of which county he was really earl, by a grant of the Tertium Denarium of the pleas of that shire. In 1164, we find the Earl of Arundel deputed with Gilbert Foliot, bishop of London, to remonstrate with Lewis, King of France, upon affording an asylum to Thomas à Becket within his dominion, and on the failure of that mission, despatched with the archbishop of York, the bishops of Winchester, London, Chichester, and Exeter, -- Wido Rufus, Richard de Invecestre, John de Oxford (priests) -- Hugh de Gundevile, Bernard de St. Valery, and Henry Fitzgerald, to lay the whole affair of Becket at the foot of the pontifical throne. Upon levying the aid for the marriage of the king's daughter, 12th of Henry II [1165-66], the knights' fees of the honour of Arundel were certified to be ninety-seven, and those in Norfolk belonging to the earl, forty-two. In 1173, we find the Earl of Arundel commanding, in conjunction with William, Earl of Essex, the king's army in Normandy, and compelling the French monarch to abandon Verneuil after a long siege, and in the next year, with Richard de Lucy, justice of England, defeating Robert Earl of Leicester, then in rebellion at St. Edmundsbury. This potent nobleman, after founding and endowing several religious houses, departed this life at Waverley, in Surrey, on the 3 October, 1176, and was buried in the abbey of Wymondham. His lordship left by Adeliza, his wife, widow of King Henry I, four sons and three daughters, the eldest of whom, Alice, m. John, Earl of Ewe. The eldest son, William de Albini, 2nd earl, had a grant from the crow, 23rd Henry II [1177-8] of the Earldom of Sussex, and in the 1st of Richard I [1189-90], had a confirmation from that prince of the castle and honour of Arundel, as also of the Tertium Denarium of the county of Sussex.

Note: On the Earldom of Lincoln, previous creations: [Burke's Peerage,p. 1711]:

Henry I's widow Adeliz married in 1138 William d'Aubigny, whothe next year, probably as a result, was created Earl ofLincoln. William's father was a Norman immigrant to England inHenry I's reign. His son, who by this advantageous marriage cameinto the former Queen's dowry of Arundel Castle, together withits Honour (feudal administrative unit embodying severalknight's fees), has been held thereby to have become Earl ofArundel. By 1142 he had been deprived of his Earldom of Lincoln,indeed even before, was spoken sometimes as Earl of Arundel andsometimes as Earl of Chichester or Earl of Sussex.

Sennacherib was the king of the Assyrian empire from 705-681 B.C. His reign was tested severa l times by revolts - each of which was brought down. Then in 701 B.C. an Egyptian-backed reb ellion broke out in Judah and was led by Hezekiah. Sennacherib was able to sack many cites i n Judah, however he was not able to take its capital -- Jerusalem . This famous event was rec orded by both Sennacherib himself, and by several biblical writers.   Following is a summar y of Sennacherib's account (recorded in Sennacherib's Prism) and then we will turn our attent ion to Isaiah 36 and 37 which records the events according to the Biblical Isaiah. 
Sennacherib's Account

Sennacherib first recounts several of his previous victories and how his enemies had become o verwhelmed by his mere presence. He was able to do this to the cities of Great Sidon, Littl e Sidon, Bit-Zitti, Zaribtu, Mahalliba, Ushu, Akzib and Akko. After taking these cities, Senn acherib installed a puppet leader named Ethbaal as ruler over the vanquished cities. Sennache rib then turned his attention to Beth-Dagon, Joppa, Banai-Barqa, and Azjuru which were citie s that were ruled by Sidqia. These cites too were conquerored and looted.   Egypt and Ethiopi a then came to the aid of the stricken cities and joined the battle. Sennacherib then defeate d the Egyptians and according to his own account, he single-handedly captured the Egyptian an d Ethiopian charioteers. Sennacherib then went about sacking and looting several other cities . He then set about punishing the criminal citizens of the cities and he reinstalled Padi the ir leader. Of course, he instisted that Padi pay Sennacherib tribute.
After this, Sennacherib turned to Hezekiah, who stubbornly refused to submit to Sennacherib . Forty-six of Hezekiah's cities were conquered by Sennacherib but Jerusalem did not fall. 
Isaiah's Account

Isaiah's account of Sennacherib's siege of Jerusalem is rather long. It starts with the obvio us, about Sennacherib's march against the cities of Judahand simply states that Sennacherib t akes them. Isaiah then recounts how Hezekiah prayed to the God of Israel to save Jerusalem. H is account then ended in the way in which the God of Israel defeats Sennacherib's army -- Man y of Sennacherib's troops are simply killed in their sleep. 
Detailed Analysis

Sennacherib Sin (the god) sends many brothers, son of Sargon, whom he succeeded on the thron e of Assyria (B.C. 705), in the 23rd year of Hezekiah. "Like the Persian Xerxes , he was wea k and vainglorious, cowardly under reverse, and cruel and boastful in success." He first se t himself to break up the powerful combination of princes who were in league against him. Amo ng these was Hezekiah, who had entered into an alliance with Egypt against Assyria. He accord ingly led a very powerful army of at least 200,000 men into Judea, and devastated the land o n every side, taking and destroying many cities (2 Kings 18:13-16; comp.   Isa. 22, 24, 29, a nd 2 Chr. 32:1-8). His own account of this invasion, as given in the Assyrian annals, is in t hese words: "Because Hezekiah, king of Judah, would not submit to my yoke, I came up agains t him, and by force of arms and by the might of my power I took forty-six of his strong fence d cities; and of the smaller towns which were scattered about, I took and plundered a countle ss number. From these places I took and carried off 200,156 persons, old and young, male an d female, together with horses and mules, asses and camels, oxen and sheep, a countless multi tude; and Hezekiah himself I shut up in Jerusalem, his capital city, like a bird in a cage, b uilding towers round the city to hem him in, and raising banks of earth against the gates, s o as to prevent escape...Then upon Hezekiah there fell the fear of the power of my arms, an d he sent out to me the chiefs and the elders of Jerusalem with 30 talents of gold and 800 ta lents of silver, and divers treasures, a rich and immense booty...All these things were broug ht to me at Nineveh, the seat of my government." (Comp. Isa. 22:1-13 for description of the f eelings of the inhabitants of Jerusalem at such a crisis.) Hezekiah was not disposed to becom e an Assyrian feudatory. He accordingly at once sought help from Egypt (2 Kings 18:20-24).    Sennacherib, hearing of this, marched a second time into Palestine (2 Kings 18:17, 37; 19 ; 2 Chr. 32:9-23; Isa. 36:2-22.   Isa. 37:25 should be rendered "dried up all the Nile-arms o f Matsor," i.e., of Egypt, so called from the "Matsor" or great fortification across the isth mus of Suez, which protected it from invasions from the east). Sennacherib sent envoys to tr y to persuade Hezekiah to surrender, but in vain.  He next sent a threatening letter (2 King s 19:10-14), which Hezekiah carried into the temple and spread before the Lord. Isaiah agai n brought an encouraging message to the pious king (2 Kings 19:20-34). "In that night" the an gel of the Lord went forth and smote the camp of the Assyrians. In the morning, "behold, the y were all dead corpses." The Assyrian army was annihilated.   This great disaster is not, a s was to be expected, taken notice of in the Assyrian annals.   Though Sennacherib survived t his disaster some twenty years, he never again renewed his attempt against Jerusalem. He wa s murdered by two of his own sons (Adrammelech and Sharezer), and was succeeded by another s on, Esarhaddon (B.C. 681), after a reign of twenty-four years.

0610 BC - 0562 BC Nebuchadrezzar NEBUCHADREZZAR, or NEBUCHADNEZZAR, king of Babylon, the NcL/3ouKop6~opos of the Greeks. The first and last are nearer to the original name as it is found on the cuneiform monuments, viz. Nabu-kudurri-usur, Nebo, defend the landmark. Nebuchadrezzar seems to have been of Chaidean origin. He married Amuhia, daughter of the Median king, according to Abydenus, and in 605 B.C. defeated Necho at Carchemish, driving the Egyptians out of Asia and annexing Syria to the Babylonian empire. In the following year he succeeded his father Nabopolassar on the Babylonian throne, and continued the restoration of Babylon, which he made one of the wonders of the world. His new palace there was built in.fifteen days; temples were erected to the gods, the great walls of the city were constructed with a moat surrounding them, the Euphrates was lined with brick and a strong fortress erected. Canals were dug throughout the country and a great reservoir excavated near the capital. Only a fragment o~f his annals has been preserved, recording his campaign against Amasis (Al~mosi) of Egypt in his thirty-seventh year (567 n.c.) when he defeated the soldiers of Phut of the Ionians. Tyre revolted in the seventh year of his reign, and was besieged for thirteen years; a contract-tablet dated in his fortieth year shows that at that time it was under Babylonian officials. After the investment of Tyre Nebuchadrezzar marched against Jerusalem, put Jehoiakim to death and placed Jehoiachin on the throne. Three months later Jehoiachin was deposed and Zedekiah made king in his place. Zedekiahs revolt in 588 B.C. led to another siege of Jerusalem, which was taken and destroyed in 586 B.C. (see JEWS and JERusALEM). To this period probably belong an inscription of Nebuchadrezzar on the north bank of the Nahr el-Keib near Beirut, and another in the Wadi Brissa in the Lebanon. From his inscriptions we gather that Nebuchadrezzar was a man of peculiarly religious character. A younger brother of his is called Nabo-sum-lisir. 0609 BC Nitokris 0645 BC Nabo Polassar Cadwgan ap Elissai Adelheid von Istrien-Krain ABT 0897 BC Karomat Djed. bast.es. ankh Great Priest of Ptah D. 0954 Adalbert d? 6/2/954 Hannah Bucher 1173 - 1239 Roger de Merlay 66 66 Name Prefix: Sir

When he was a minor in 1188 Duncan, 6th Earl of Fife, gave Henry II 500 marks for having the wardship of him and license to marry his daughter Ada. In 1194 he paid 20 marks for being excused from going with the King to the wars in Normandy. His quoto of œ7 to the 2nd and 3rd scutage of Richard I was accounted for at the Exchequer in the first year of King John, in which year he paid a fine of 20 marks and two good palfreys for the privilege of having a market and fair in his Manor of Morpeth. He also gave to the monks of Newminster 20s a year out of the mill of Stanton, and for the good of the souls of his mother Alice and his son Ranulph gave to God and the Church of St. Peter at Brinkburne, and the canons serving God there, common pasture in his woods on the south side of Coquet. In 1224 he was acquitted of the services due from him to the Castle of Newcastle for his loyalty in taking up arms for the King against the Earl of Chester. He died 1239 and was buried at Newminster. He improved the Town of Morpeth and promoted the hospital of Catchburn.

The Hurrian and Mitanni kingdoms.

The weakening of the Semitic states in Mesopotamia after 1550enabled the Hurrians to penetrate deeper into this region, wherethey founded numerous small states in the eastern parts ofAnatolia, Mesopotamia, and Syria. The Hurrians came fromnorthwestern Iran, but until recently very little was knownabout their early history. After 1500, isolated dynastiesappeared with Indo- Aryan names, but the significance of thisis disputed. The presence of Old Indian technical terms in laterrecords about horse breeding and the use of the names of Indiangods (such as, for example, Indra and Varuna) in some compactsof state formerly led several scholars to assume that numerousgroups of Aryans, closely related to the Indians, pushed intoAnatolia from the northeast. They were also credited with theintroduction of the light war chariot with spoked wheels. Thisconclusion, however, is by no means established fact. So far ithas not been possible to appraise the numbers and the politicaland cultural influence of the Aryans in Anatolia and Mesopotamiarelative to those of the Hurrians.

Some time after 1500 the kingdom of Mitanni (or Mittani) arosenear the sources of the Khabur River in Mesopotamia. Since norecord or inscription of their kings has been unearthed, littleis known about the development and history of the Mitannikingdom before King Tushratta. The Mitanni empire was known tothe Egyptians under the name of Naharina, and Thutmose IIIfought frequently against it after 1460 BC. By 1420 the domainof the Mitanni king Saustatar (Saushatar) stretched from theMediterranean all the way to the northern Zagros Mountains, inwestern Iran, including Alalakh, in northern Syria, as well asNuzi, Kurrukhanni, and Arrapkha. The northern boundary dividingMitanni from the Hittites and the other Hurrian states was neverfixed, even under Saustatar's successors Artatama I andShuttarna II, who married their daughters to the pharaohsThutmose IV (1400-1390) and Amenhotep III (1390-1353). Tushratta(c. 1365-c. 1330), the son of Shuttarna, was able to maintainthe kingdom he had inherited for many years. In his sometimesvery long letters--one of them written in Hurrian--to AmenhotepIII and Akhenaton (1353-1336), he wrote about commerce, hisdesire for gold, and marriage. Weakened by internal strife, theMitanni kingdom eventually became a pawn between the risingkingdoms of the Hittites and the Assyrians.

The kingdom of Mitanni was a feudal state led by a warriornobility of Aryan or Hurrian origin. Frequently horses were bredon their large landed estates. Documents and contract agreementsin Syria often mention a chariot-warrior caste that alsoconstituted the social upper class in the cities. Thearistocratic families usually received their landed property asan inalienable fief. Consequently, no documents on the sellingof landed property are to be found in the great archives ofAkkadian documents and letters discovered in Nuzi, near Kirkuk.The prohibition against selling landed property was oftendodged, however, with a stratagem: the previous owner "adopted"a willing buyer against an appropriate sum of money. The wealthylord Tehiptilla was "adopted" almost 200 times, acquiringtremendous holdings of landed property in this way withoutinterference by the local governmental authorities. He hadgained his wealth through trade and commerce and through aproductive two-field system of agriculture (in which each fieldwas cultivated only once in two years). For a long time, PrinceShilwa-Teshub was in charge of the royal governmentaladministration in the district capital. Sheep breeding was thebasis for a woolen industry, and textiles collected by thepalace were exported on a large scale. Society was highlystructured in classes, ranks, and professions. The judiciary,patterned after the Babylonian model, was well organized; thedocuments place heavy emphasis on correct procedure.

Native sources on the religion of the Hurrians of the Mitannikingdom are limited; about their mythology, however, much isknown from related Hittite and Ugaritic myths. Like the otherpeoples of the ancient Middle East, the Hurrians worshiped godsof various origins. The king of the gods was the weather godTeshub. According to the myths, he violently deposed his fatherKumarbi; in this respect he resembled the Greek god Zeus, whodeposed his father Kronos. The war chariot of Teshub was drawnby the bull gods Seris ("Day") and Hurris ("Night"). Majorsanctuaries of Teshub were located at Arrapkha (modern Kirkuk)and at Halab (modern Aleppo) in Syria. In the east his consortwas the goddess of love and war Shaushka, and in thewest the goddess Hebat (Hepat); both were similar to theIshtar-Astarte of the Semites.

The sun god Shimegi and the moon god Kushuh, whose consort wasNikkal, the Ningal of the Sumerians, were of lesser rank. Moreimportant was the position of the Babylonian god of war and theunderworld, Nergal. In northern Syria the god of warAstapi and the goddess of oaths Ishara are attested as early asthe 3rd millennium BC.

In addition, a considerable importance was attributed toimpersonal numina such as heaven and earth as well as to deitiesof mountains and rivers. In the myths the terrible aspect of thegods often prevails over indications of a benevolent attitude.The cults of sacrifices and other rites are similar to thoseknown from the neighbouring countries; many Hurrian rituals werefound in Hittite Anatolia. There is abundant evidence for magicand oracles.

Temple monuments of modest dimensions have been unearthed; inall probability, specific local traditions were a factor intheir design. The dead were probably buried outside thesettlement. Small artifacts, particularly seals, show a peculiarcontinuation of Babylonian and Assyrian traditions in theirpreference for the naturalistic representation of figures. Therewere painted ceramics with finely drawn decorations (white on adark background). The strong position of the royal house wasevident in the large palaces, existing even in districtcapitals. The palaces were decorated with frescoes. Because onlya few Mitanni settlements have been unearthed in Mesopotamia,knowledge of Mitanni arts and culture is as yet insufficient.

D. ABT 1458 BC Hatshepsut Hatshepsut (circa 1520-1483 BC), Egyptian ruler of the 18th Dynasty, daughter of Thutmose I. She married her half brother, Thutmose II, with whom she co ruled Egypt until his death in 1504 BC. His successor, Thutmose III, a son by a concubine, was a child at the time and was married to Hatshepsut's daughter by Thutmose II. In 1503, however, she had herself crowned as pharaoh, and reigned in her own right until 1483. Her nominal co ruler was Thutmose III, who ruled alone after her death. Hatshepsut built a great temple at Dayr al Ba‰rì near Thebes, approached by a lane of sphinxes and huge, colonnaded terraces. A second wife of Thutmose III, named Meryetre Hatshepsut but not related to the queen, was the mother of the next pharaoh, Amenhotep II (reigned 1453-1419 BC).

Hatshepsut, the fifth ruler of the 18th Dynasty, was the daughter of Thutmose I and Queen Ahmose. As was common in royal families, she married her half-brother, Thutmose II, who had a son, Thutmose III, by a minor wife. When Thutmose II died in 1479 B.C. his son, Thutmose III, was appointed heir. However, Hatshepsut was appointed regent due to the boy's young age. They ruled jointly until 1473 when she declared herself pharaoh. Dressed in men’s attire, Hatshepsut administered affairs of the nation, with the full support of the high priest of Amon, Hapuseneb and other officials. When she built her magnificent temple at Deir el Bahari in Thebes she made reliefs of her divine birth as the daughter of Amon. Hatshepsut disappeared in 1458 B.C. when Thutmose III, wishing to reclaim the throne, led a revolt. Thutmose had her shrines, statues and reliefs mutilated.

Seniseneb Senisonb was a woman who was not of royal blood. She was the birth mother of Tuthmosis I, whose sole title to kingship was his marriage to princess 'Ahmose, a lady of very exalted parentage. 'Amhose 'Ahmose was the wife of the 18th Dynasty king Tuthmosis I who ruled from 1504 - 1492 BC. She was the daughter of 'Ahmose I and was possibly a lower-ranked wife of Amenhotep I, who was Tuthmosis' predecessor. 'Ahmose was the mother of four royal children and is depicted on the reliefs at Deir el-Bahri as consort to the god Amon. Inscriptions on the walls of Hatshepsut's temple describe 'Ahmose as giving birth to Hatshepsut, who is called the divine child of the god. 'Ahmose died at a relatively young age and was buried at Thebes.

13. Henry IV, Holy Roman Emperor, 1056-1106. His father left him his
throne in 1056 when he was but six years old. His mother, Agnes, was the
regent until he reached maturity. During this period the German nobility
rose in opposition to the throne and appropriated many of the royal
holdings, but when Henry IV. reached his majority he was able to restore
much of what had been taken. He married (1) Bertha of Savoy (Turin), who
died in 1087, (2) Praxedis (Adelhaide, Eupraxis) of Kiev, Russia, who died
in 1109. Henry IV. died in Liege in 1106. From the first marriage of Henry
and Bertha there were the following children:
1260 BC Eos #
Eos, (Aurora) was a daughter of Titans, Theia and Hyperion. Helios (sun) and Selene (moon) were her brother and sister, while she herself was a personification of the dawn of the morning. A fresh wind was felt at her approach, the morning star Eosphorus (Greek), Lucifer (Roman), still lingered in the sky, and beacuse the ruddy beams appeared like outspread fingers, she was called "rosy-fingered Morn." The star and the winds of the morning, Zephyr, Boreas, Notos, and Euros, were her offspring by the Astraeus (Starry), the Titan of starlight.

She loved all fresh young life, and showed special favor to those persons whose active spirit led them abroad in the morning to hunt or to make war.Tithonus became her husband, and she lived with him pleasantly beside the Oceanus so long as his youth and beauty lasted. Unfortunately, in obtaining immortality for him from Zeus, she had omitted to add to her request, "and eternal youth." When white hairs appeared, Eos supplied him with him with ambrosia and nectar, but he became quite helpless. To avoid the sight of his decrepitude, he shut him up in a chamber where only his voice was heard like the chirp of a grasshopper into which creature he became. Eos and Tithonos had two sons, Memnon and Emathion. Memnon was celebrated for his beauty. His early death at the hands of Achilles deeply greived his mother. She erected a wonderful monument which when the first rays of the morning sun touched it, gave forth a sound like the snapping of a harp-string.

Keturah Atlas "daring thought"

[FAMILY.FTW]

AETHRA (2), one of the Oceanides, was the mother of the Hyades and Hesperides by Atlas. The Pleiades have also been called her daughters, although their mother is usually called Pleione, hence their name. [Ovid, Fasti 5.169; Eustathius on Homer's Iliad 1155.]

ANCHIALE was a daughter of Iapetus and mother of Cydnus, who was believed to have founded the town of Anchiale on the Cydnus River in Cilicia. This is the only reference to this Anchiale in mythology, although as a daughter of Iapetus she was a sister of Prometheus, Epimetheus, Menoetius, and Atlas. She has the distinction of being the mother of a river-god, for these marine divinities were almost always the offspring of Oceanus and Tethys. There is nothing to say she could not have been the mother of a river by her uncle Oceanus. Her son, half-man, half-river in form, was loved by a maiden called Comaetho. One of their sons, Parthenius, gave the surname Parthenia to the city of Tarsus, which lay on the Cydnus River [Stephanus Byzantium, "Anchiale";Nonnos, Dionysiaca 40.143.]

ASIA, one of the Oceanides, was called by some the mother of Atlas, Prometheus, Epimetheus, and Menoetius by Iapetus. Most sources call the wife of Iapetus CLYMENE. According to some, she gave her name to the continent of Asia. [Hesiod, Theogony 359; Apollodorus 1.2.2; Herodotus 4.45.]

ASTERIA, occasionally called Asterope, was a daughter of Atlas and one of the Pleiades. She was, according to certain accounts, the mother of one of the most unpleasant individuals in ancient story. This was Diomedes, king of the Bistones in Thrace. She bore him to Atlas, her own father. While incest was not uncommon among the gods, it did not seem to work too well in this case. Diomedes' stable were infamous, since they housed mares that he fed on human flesh. One of Heracles' labors involved bringing these animals to Mycenae. Diomedes was killed during this horse-rustling episode. [Hyginus, Fables 250; Apollodorus 2.5.8; Servius on Virgil's Aeneid 1.756.]

CLYMENE was one of the Oceanides, a daughter of Oceanus and Tethys. By her uncle Iapetus she was the mother of Atlas, Prometheus, Menoetius, and Epimetheus. Iapetus was regarded as the ancestor of the human race, although it was his son Prometheus who fashioned men out of clay. It is to be expected that there was confusion in the genealogies of the beings involved in setting up the world. Clymene was also called the mother by Prometheus of Hellen and Deucalion. This mother/son liason would not be particularly usual in the confusing descent of the gods, but Prometheus' wife was usually called Celaeno. Somewhere along the way, probably after the confinement of Iapetus in Tartarus with other Titans, Clymene married Merops, a king of the Ethiopians. Clymene was unfaithful to him and gave herself to her cousin (and brother-in-law) Helios, the sun. By him she had the Heliades and Phaethon.
Clymene's children were pivotal in the contest of the gods against the Titans and in the development of the human race. Atlas and Menoetius were both punished for their roles in the conflict with the Olympians. Atlas was condemned to bear the heavens on his head and shoulders, but not before he became father of the Pleiades, the Hyades, the Hesperides, and other beings. Menoetius was struck by Zeus with a thunderbolt and thrown into Tartarus. Prometheus and Epimetheus were the parents of Deucalion and Pyrrha, respectively, and these offspring were responsible for repopulating the earth after the great flood. For going contrary to the will of Zeus in regard to the human race, Prometheus was punished atop Mount Caucasus by having his liver pecked out daily by an eagle and having it restored each successive day. Pandora, the wife of Epimetheus, let loose all the troubles of the world by opening a forbidden chest. Phaethon, the son of Clymene and Helios, almost caused the destruction of the world. He begged his father to let him drive the chariot of the sun across heaven. He proved too weak to handle the dazzling horses, and the chariot fell toward the earth. Zeus struck him from the chariot, and he plummeted to earth. Helios recovered the reins in time to keep the earth from burning to a cinder. Phaethon's mother was also called Merope, Prote, or Rhode. [Hesiod, Theogony 351,507; Hyginus, Fables 156; Apollodorus 1.2.3; Ovid, Metamorphoses 1.763, Tristia 3.4.30.]

ELECTRA was a daughter of Atlas and Pleione, and one of the seven Pleiades. Her story is a confusing one. Zeus fell in love with her and carried her to Olympus, a rather daring thing to do, considering the perennial jealousy of Hera. He succeeded in raping her, but she managed to escape in midrape and as a suppliant embraced the sacred Palladium, which Athena had establishe. Since she had been sullied, the divinity of her attacker notwithsanding, she was considered a defiler of the sacred object, and it was hurled from Olympus to land in Ilium (Troy), where it was revered as the city's principal security. Through her unwelcome encouter with the father of the gods, she became the mother of Iasion and Dardanus. They must have been twins, although this fact was never particularly emphasized. (According to an Italian version of her story, she was the wife of Corythus, king of Tuscia, and had Iasion by him and Dardanus later by Zeus.) When Dardanus and Iasion migrated to Samothrace from Arcadia (or Italy or Crete), they carried the Palladium with them. This is contrary to the story of its celestial origin, but there might have been two such images. Electra appears to have followed or accompanied her sons, for we find her on Samothrace. She was even said to have been the mother of Harmonia by Zeus in Samothrace, although Harmonia is nearly always called the daughter of Aphrodite and Ares. In keeping, though, with the accounts of the origin of the Samothracian mysteries, the presence of Harmonia appeared to be called for in establishing a connection between the Samothracian and Theban Cabeiri. It seems hardly likely that Electra voluntarily would have submitted Zeus after her first unfortunate experience with him. Thoroughly instructed in the mysteries by Demeter, his lover, Iasion passed on their knowledge to numerous heroes. He later married Cybele, according to some. Dardanus went to the Troad and was hospitably received by Teucer, the king of the region, who gave him part of the kingdom and his daughter Bateia. He built the city of Dardania (later Troy) and initiated the inhabitants into the mysteries of the gods of Samothrace. He introduce3d the cult of Cybele into Phrygia. Electra went with him to the Troad, and she brought the Palladium along from Samothrace. Again we have a conflicting account. Here is the very person who allegedly contaminated the Olympian Palladium, so that it was cast out of heaven, now bringing it to the city whose site was determined by the landing place in the earlier account. Apparently there needed to be an explanation fror the introduction of the mysteries into Troy. Although the Palladium was connected with Athena, who had no strong role in the mysteries, its function of guaranteeing the safety of the city was perhaps given more credibility by having Dardanus and Electra heavily involved in worship of the Cabeiri. Electra remained in Troy until its fall, according to some writers. Even though the Pleiades had a kind of second-class immortality, being daughters of a Titan, this would have made Electra well over 100 years old. According to the story, she watched the city founded by her son perishing in flames and tore out her hair in grief; she was placed among the stars as a comet. Other accounts say she and her sisters were already among the stars as the seven Pleiades and that Electra's brilliancy dimmed when Ilium was destroyed. [Apollodorus 3.10.1, 12.1.3; Servius on Virgil's Aeneid 1.32,384, 2.325, 3.167, 7.207, 10.272; Tzetzes on Lycophron 29; Diodorus Siculus 5.48; Scholiast on Euripides' Phoenician Maidens 1136; Eustathius on Homer's Iliad 1155.]

HARMONIA, one of the inspired conceptions of some long-forgotten writer, was a tribute to the ability of the Greeks to create an ideal balance. She was the daughter of Love (Aphrodite) and War (Ares). Her brothers were Deimos (Terror) and Phobos (Fear), both mainly thought of in terms of war. Again, as if to balance things, some called Eros and Anteros full brothers as well, but in any case they were half-brothers. After Cadmus founded Thebes, Zeus gave him Harmonia as a wife. This was a union favored by all the gods and goddesses of Olympus, especially Athena, who was the self-appointed protectress of Cadmus. All the Olympians attended the wedding, and rich presents were give, the most opulent being a necklace of exquisite design studded with precious stones. Fashioned for him by Hephaestus, the was the groom's gift to the bride, along with a handsome peplus, or robe. Some said the necklace was presented to her by Aphrodite or Athena. Some said Cadmus had received it from his sister Europa, who had earlier received it from Zeus, but this would make no sense, since Cadmus never saw Europa again after her abduction. In fact, his fruitless search for her had resulted in his founding Thebes. This beautiful jewelry, whatever its origin, came with a curse as it was passed from generation to generation. The results of its attraction culminated in the battle of the Seven against Thebes and the subsequent campaign of the Epigoni. Even in Harmonia's possession, its virulence seemed to spread like poison over the family. The children of Harmonia by Cadmus were Autonoe, Ino, Semele, Agave, and Polydorus. While they were small, Harmonia seemed to lead a rather idyllic life. Undeniably immortal herself, she spent time in the company of other immortals such as the Charites (Graces), Hebe (the goddess of youth), the Horae (Seasons), the Muses, Apollo, and her mother Aphrodite. Some even claimed that the Charites were her daughters by Zeus, who was already her grandfather and later would become her son-in-law as well. The mellow life enjoyed by Harmonia came to an end when her daughters grew up. Ino's husband went insane and tried to kill her, but she leapt into the sea and became a sea divinity. Autonoe married the god Aristaeus, but he left her when their son Actaeon was turned into a stag, then killed and eaten by his hunting dogs. Semele was burned alive when she forced her lover Zeus to appear to her in his full splendor. He managed to save the child she was carrying, which turned out to be Dionysus. This grandchild did not help things when later he converted his aunts to his worship. One day the three of them got drunk and, mistaking him for a wild beast, tore Agave's son, Pentheus, apart with their bare hands. Only Polydorus, the son, turned out reasonably well, if we do not dwell on the fact that he was the great-grandfather of Oedipus. Cadmus and Harmonia left Thebes even before the death of Pentheus. Their leaving has never been explained; perhaps the tragedies of the other daughters caused them to go to a remote place. There was a prophecy among the Enchelean people in northern Greece that if Cadmus would lead them against their enemies, the Illyrians, the would be victorious. Cadmus did so, and the prophecy was fulfilled. He and Harmonia then ruled in Illyria. Although grandparents, they produced another son, Illyrius. Afterward, the gods changed them into dragons and transported them to Elysium, or the Isles of the Blessed. A variation of this account calls Harmonia the daughter of Zeus and Electra, daughter of Atlas. She was therefore sister to Dardanus and Iasion. She and her brothers lived on the island of Samothrace, where they had gone from Arcadia. When Cadmus went there searching for Europa, he fell in love with Harmonia. In this version also, the gods smiled on the marriage and attended the wedding celebration on Samothrace. Then Cadmus took Harmonia to Thebes, and the two stories merged at that point. The second version might have arisen in conjunction with the strong Cabeirian influence in Theban worship (the Cabeiri were the divinities worshipped on the islands of Lemnos and Samothrace). Dardanus and Iasion taught the mysteries in the Aegean and Asia Minor, and it would seem appropriate that Harmonia introduced them on the Greek mainland. [Apollodorus 3.4.2,5.4; Diodorus Siculus 1.68,4.48; Pindar, Pythian Odes 3.94,167; Statius, Thebaid 2.266; Euripides, Bacchanals 1233,1350; Ovid, Metamorphoses 4.562-602; Pausanias 9.5.1,12.3; Hyginus, Fables 6,184,240; Ptolemaeus Hephaestion 1; Apollonius Rhodius 4.517.]

MAIA was the eldest of the Pleiades. As daughter of Atlas and Pleione, she was sometimes called either Atlantis or Pleias. One account called her a daughter of Atlas and Sterope, his own daughter. She was visited in a cave on Mount Cyllene in Arcadia by Zeus and became the mother of Hermes, one of the Olympian gods. He was surnamed Cyllenius from his birthplace. That is the extent of what we know of Maia. After Zeus had his affair with Callisto and she was changed into a bear, the baby, Arcas, was carried to Maia to be brought up. In a manner of speaking, he was her stepson, but so were scores of other sons of Zeus. Maia is famous through her son, for her presence is felt in the nursery adventures of the god of thieves. Hermes escaped from his cradle and went to Pieria, carrying off some of Apollo's oxen, but was forgiven when he invented the lyre from a tortoise shell. He became the messenger of the other gods, and was notorious for his ingenuity and cunning. We lose sight of Maia after Hermes became adult. She was not even mentioned in the upbringing of Dionysus, in which Hermes took a part. The Romans had a divinity called Maia, or Majesta, who was sometimes considered the wife of Vulcan, largely because a priest of Vulcan offered a sacrifice to her on May 1. Later, she became identified with the Greek Maia and was called the mother of Mercury. [Homeric Hymn to Hermes 3,17; Hesiod, Theogony 938; Apollodorus 3.10.2,8.2; Horace, Odes 1.10.1, 2.42; Macrobius, Saturnalia 1.12; Gellius 13.22; Servius on Virgil's Aeneid 8.130; Pausanias 8.17.1.]

PLEIONE was one of the Oceanides and mother of the Pleiades by Atlas. Atlas was the son of Iapetus and Clymene, and leader of the Titans in the war against Zeus and the Olympians. He was condemned to bear the heavens on his head and shoulders. Pleione had to share him with Aethra, who according to some, became the mother of the Hyades and Hesperides by him. He had children by other women as well. The Pleiades mated with gods for the most part, but interestingly only one of Pleione's grandchildren--Hermes--was one of the immortal Olympian gods. An interesting question might be why he was different, since Zeus, his father, had sons by two of the other Pleiades. [Apollodorus 3.10.1; Diodorus Siculus 4.27; Scholiast on Homer's Iliad 18.486, Odyssey 5.272; Hyginus, Fables 192,248.]

STEROPE was one of the Pleiades, daughter of Atlas and Pleione. Like her sister Merope she married a mortal. He was Oenomaus, son of Ares and Harpinna, and king of Pisa in Elis. Sterope's children by Oenomaus were Leucippus, Hippodameia, and Alcippe. One writer also listed Dysponteus, who founded the city of Dyspontium. Sterope suffered the loss of Leucippus. He fell in love with a nymph who followed Artemis. He could find no other way to be near her, so he dressed as a maiden and became close friends with her. He was found out, however, and killed by her companions. Alcippe married Euenus, who unhappily imitated his father-in-law and forced contenders for the hand of their daughter Marpessa to compete with him in a chariot race. When Hippodameia grew up, reports of her beauty attracted many suitors. Oenomaus took a dim view of the, since he was in love with his daughter. We do not know whether or not Sterope was aware of this development. Onenomaus agreed to give Hippodameia to anyone who could beat him in a chariot race, but the price of losing was death to the contender. In spite of the grim probability of death, about 20 young men came forward and failed. Sterope and her daughters must have been horrified by the severed heads of recent losers strung over the doorway. Finally Pelops defeated Oenomaus, who died in the contest. He married Hippodameia and assumed Oenomaus' kindom. That meant that Sterope had a choice of remaining with them or going elsewhere. It is difficult to consider Sterope's story as Oenomaus' wife together with the story of the collective Pleiades, who were said by some to have been changed into doves when pursued by Orion or into stars as a result of grief for their father's punishment by Zeus. Several other Pleiades had independent lives as well, so their metamorphosis must be considered as having come about after their separate careers had ended. Sterope was called by some the mother of Oenomaus by Ares, which would have concurred with the statement that only one of the Pleiades married a mortal. To support this contention, the wife of Oenomaus was by some called Euarete or Eurythoe. [Apollodorus 3.10.1; Pausanias 5.10.5,22.5, 6.21.6.]

    ACIDUSA was the wife of Scamander, son of Deimachus and Glaucia. Scamander obtained a tract of land in Boeotia across which flowed two rivers. He name one of the rivers Glaucia in honor of his mother and the other Scamander, not only after his own name but also that of his maternal grandfather, the river-god Scamander in the plain of Troy. Acidusa benefited from her husband's habit of nameing places after his family--he commemorated her by naming a Boeotian spring Acidusa. By Scamander, Acidusa had three daughters, who for one reason or another came to be regarded as minor divinities and were worshipped under the name of "the Maidens." [Plutarch, Greek Questions 4.]

Bernic Achaemenids Seti ABT 1400 BC - 1382 BC Nefertiti Although some historians have wondered whether she might have been a foreign
princess, Dr. Redford points out that Nefertiti is an Egyptian name, and that
there is no reason to think that she might have been a foreigner. He comments
that she had a high-ranking Egyptian wet-nurse, and therefore was probably of
noble birth (78). One suggestion is that Nefertiti was Akhenaten's cousin.
Her wet nurse was the wife of the vizier Ay, who could have been Tiye's
brother. Ay sometimes called himself "the God's father," suggesting that he
might have been Akhenaten's father-in-law (Redford 78, 151; Dodson 96-97).
Redford also notes, however, that Ay never specifically refers to himself as
the father of Nefertiti (151), although Aldred mentions that Nefertiti's
sister, Mutnojme, is featured prominently in the decorations of the tomb of Ay
(222). Unfortunately, whether because of lack of funds or some other problem,
very little has been done in the way of genetic testing on the mummies of the
Amarna period. Egyptologists and archaeologists have now discovered the bodies
of Smenkhkare, Tutankhaten, a young boy who is possibly Akhenaten's older
brother, Tuthmose, Akhenaten's grandparents, Yuya and Thuya, a woman who is
thought to be Tiye, Akhenaten's father, and an unidentified burnt man found
lying outside of Akhenaten's tomb. However, until more scientific investigation
has been carried out on these people, many of the questions surrounding them
will remain unanswered.
Note:
!Other views, After Akhenaten's death she may have renamed herself as
Nefermnefruaten Smenkhhare and then Smenkhkare, and assumed the unpresedented
title of Pharoah. In the past it was assumed these were separate but related
male pharoahs ruling in the short three-year period between Akhenaten and
Tutankhaten. On the other hand, another theory is that Smenkhkare in Zannanza,
son of the Hittite king, to whom an Egyptian queen (Nefertiti?) had written
asking for a son since her husband had died.
Yaya Tuya Bagratuni Bagratuni ~1045 Maldred de Carlyle ABT 1055 BC Bathsheba <1060 - <1130 Edward de Salisbury 70 70 Sheriff of Wiltshire de Danmartin Teuged ap Llyfeinydd Llyfeinydd ap Perdur Perdur ap Gwyrydd Gwyrydd ap Ithon Ithon ap Camber ~1305 - <1377 Madog Kynaston 72 72 ~0967 Cadfael ap Lludd ~0930 Lludd ap Llew ~0900 Llew ap Llyminod ~1096 - 1116 Theodora Comnena 20 20 ~0870 Llyminod Angel ap Pasgen ~0830 Pasgen ap Pasgen Pasgen son son son son son ~0560 Pasgen ~0529 Pasgen ap Urien ABT 1050/1060 Manuel Angelus ~0497 Urien Rheged ap Cynfarch ~0500 Modron verch Afallach MODRON (standardized modern form)

Of the women discussed here, only Modron is clearly a mythological addition to an otherwise historic context. Peniarth Ms. 147 (1556) includes a legend that Urien Rheged had twins by "the daughter of the king of Annwn" (the Welsh underworld), and this mother is specifically identified in the triads as Modron verch Afallach (Bromwich TYP no. 70 ). Elsewhere in medieval Welsh literature, Modron appears as the mother of Mabon, a pair generally considered to preserve a divine mother and child (the names Modron and Mabon derive from roots meaning "mother" and "son" with the suffix -on typically found in divine or semi-divine names). Afallach generally appears as a son of the legendary Beli Mawr, and the namesake of Ynys Afallach, an alternate name for the island of Avallon. The story of Urien's encounter with Modron further enhances the other-worldly aspects: Modron has a destiny laid on her that she must wash at a ford until she has a son by a Christian. (The otherworldly woman washing at the ford is a repeating motif in both Welsh and Irish legend.)

The children of this encounter were Owein and Morfudd, and while we must exempt Modron from our list of plausible women's names for this period, the children have names that are otherwise unexceptionable in this context, and there is no reason to assume that they are spurious.

Textual Sources

In relation to this specific figure, the name appears as:

    [M]odron merch Auallach - Peniarth Ms. 47

    Modron ferch Avallach - Peniarth Ms. 50

The mythological figure of Modron can be found in many other contexts, presumably going even as far back as Gallo-Latin references to the matrones in dedicatory inscriptions.

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

Following is a post to SGM, 30 Dec 2001, by Douglas Richardson, with a possible ancestry for Hawise. Later on he speculated that since Geoffrey de Neville supposedly died without issue, that maybe Hawise was the daughter of an unknown 2nd marriage of Hawise de Montagu.

Dear Newsgroup ~

Warin de Lisle, of Kingston Lisle (in Sparsholt), Berkshire (died 1322) married before 1304 Alice, daughter of Henry Teyes, Lord Teyes, of Alverton, Cornwall, and Chilton Foliat, Wiltshire, by his wife, Hawise.

Complete Peerage sub Lisle (vol. 8, pg. 49) states that in 1334, Alice, widow of Warin de Lisle, had leave to transfer the bodies of her late husband and that of her brother, Henry Teyes, Lord Teyes, to Chilton, "where her ancestors were buried and where chantries were founded." It appears she was supported in her petition to have remove the bodies by her kinsman, William de Montagu, Earl of Salisbury, which fact is overlooked by Complete Peerage. For the Earl's support of Alice de Lisle, see Calendar of the Register of Simon de Montacute, Bishop of Worcester, 1334-1337, published 1996, pp.xviii, xxvii.

Clearly the connection between Alice de Lisle and the Earl of Salisbury must have been close. However, to date, no one has identified the connection between the two parties. A good bet, however, is that the connection comes through Alice de Lisle's mother, Hawise (wife of Henry Teyes), born say 1265. Reviewing the Montagu family tree, it seems a distinct possibility that Hawise Teyes was the daughter of the Earl of Salisbury's great aunt, Hawise de Montagu, who married Geoffrey de Neville, of Laceby, co. Lincoln. I say that because I have encountered a record which shows that Henry Teyes and Ingram Folenfaunt, and their wives, held property as co-parceners in Redbourne, Lincoln in 1285 [Reference: Cal. IPM]. Redbourne is associated with a Neville family, although I am unclear if this is same family as the Neville family of Laceby.

If Alice de Lisle's grandmother was Hawise de Montagu, this arrangement would make Alice and her kinsman, the Earl of Salisbury, second cousins. If correct, then Alice de Lisle would share the Earl's descent from the baronial Basset family of Buckinghamshire and from the Gay family of Wiltshire.

If anyone has any particulars on the Neville, Teyes, Lisle or Folenfaunt families that would shed some light on this matter, I would appreciate knowing about it. For the interest of the newsgroup, I have listed the colonial immigrants below who descend from Alice (Teyes) de Lisle.

~1235 - <1282 Henry de Teyes 47 47 HENRY TYEYS, son and heir, was going to Germany in 1262 with Richard, Earl of Cornwall, whose charters he witnessed, circa 1260-70. He may be the Henry Tyeys who was one of the bailiffs of the Earl of Gloucester in Somerset, temp. Henry III; he was involved in lawsuits in Somerset, 1272 and 1280; and pledged his lands in Cornwall and Oxon. as security for his debts in 1275 and 1279. In May 1282 he and his wife Joan gave to the Bishop of Bath and Wells certain messuages, cellars, shops, &c., in Bristol, also a messuage, &c., in Easton, Somerset, in exchange for the manor of Little Rissington, Gloucester, for their lives; and he was ordered to muster at Rhuddlan, 2 August 1282, as a knight for the said Bishop.

He married Joan, apparently daughter and (or in her issue) heir of Samson FOLIOT (living 30 May 1281), of Fritwell, &c., Oxon., Hardwell, Berks, and Chilton Foliat and Draycot Foliat, Wilts. He died, probably in Wales, shortly before 22 November 1282. Joan, who was living in May 1282, presumably died before 1284. [Complete Peerage XII/2:102, (transcribed by Dave Utzinger)]

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

Humphrey de Bohun, Earl of Hereford, and possessing that honour of Essex through his mother, was created Earl of that county by King Henry III, at whose marriage his lordship performed the office of marshal in the king's house, and in three years afterwards, anno 1239, was one of the godfathers at the font for Edward, eldest son of the king, there being no less than nine sponsors on the occasion, viz., five temporal and four spiritual lords. He was Lord High Constable of England. In 1250, he took up the cross and proceeded to the Holy Land. In three years afterwards, his lordship was present with other peers when that formal curse was denounced in Westminster Hall with bell, book, and candle, against the violators of Magna Carta; in which year he founded the church of the Friars Augustines, in Broad-street, within the city of London. In the great contest between the king and his barons, this nobleman fought for the latter at Evesham, where he was taken prisoner, but he did not long continue in bondage for we find him soon after again in favour and receiving new grants from the crown. His lordship d. 1275, having m. 1st, Maud, dau. of Ralph, Count d'Eu, by Yolande, his wife, dau. of Robert, Count de Dreux, Earl of Ewe, and had issue, Humphrey, Maud, Alice, and ---, m. to --- Quincy. Humphrey, Earl of Hereford and Essex, d. 1275, and was s. by his grandson, Humphrey de Bohun.

"In the Spring and Summer of 1075, the Earls of Norfolk [RALPH DE GAEL
(RIN 1028)] and Hereford [Roger*, son of WILLIAM FITZOSBERN (RIN 1171)]
were conspiring to seize England for themselves, and they enticed
Waltheof to join in. He quickly changed his mind, and reconciled with the
King [WILLIAM THE CONQUERER], who treated the matter lightly, but at
Christmas 1075, Waltheof was brought to trial, his wife (THE KING's
niece) being a witness against him. When the trial resumed in May,
Waltheof was found guilty and beheaded on St. Giles's Hill (I suppose this
is in Winchester, which is where he was tried) on 31 May 1076.
Waltheof and JUDITH had no sons and two known daughters, (1) MAUD,
who married first SIMON DE SAINT LIZ (Senlis) and second DAVID I KING
OF SCOTS, and (2) JUDITH OR ALICE, who married RALPH DE TONI the
younger. There may have been a third daughter who married a Robert son
of Richard, but this may be a confusion with a daughter of MAUD and
SIMON.

Note: THE DERBY LINE  Sir John Stanley. This, the most distinguished branch of theStanley family of England, is reckoned as descended from SirJohn Stanley, the younger brother of Sir William, of Hooton, of1397. He married Isabel Lathom, daughter of Sir Thomas Lathom,Knight of Lathom, and Knowsley of Lancashire, and thus acquiredthose estates. In1385 he was made lord-deputy of Ireland, andhad a grant of the manor of Blake Castle in that kingdom. In theseventh year of Henry IV, he obtained a grant in fee of the Isleof Man, with all the isles adjacent, to be holden of the saidKing, his heirs and successors, by homage and the service of twofalcons, payable on the days of their coronation. On theaccession of Henry V, he was mad a Knight of the Garter, andlord-lieutenant of Ireland, in which government he died onJanuary 6, 1414.  Isabel was the daughter and heir of Sir thomas Lathom, Knight ofLathom and Knowsley, Co., Lancaster. He descended from RobertFity Henry, whose son Robert took the name of Lathom from hisplace of residence and thus acquired those estates.  In 1405 Sir John had a commission in conjunction with Roger Leketo seize on the city of York and its liberties, and also uponthe Isle of Man, on the forfeiture of Henry Percy, Earl ofNorthumberland. In 1406 he was Treasurer of the household toKing Henry IV, and obtained the license to fortify a house atLiverpool, which he had newly built with embattled walls. In thesame year, having taken possession of the Isle of Man, heobtained a grant in fee of the said Isle, Castle and pileanciently called Holm Town, and all the Isles adjacent, as alsoall the regalities, franchises, etc. John inherited the old Seatof Newton in Macclesfield, Cheshire. Isabel was the daughter ofThomas Lathom whose ancestress again had been Heiress of Thomasde Knowsley.  As a Captain under the command of his relation James, LordAudley at the battle of Poictiers in France fought the 19th dayof September, 1357 by Edward, the Black Prince, son of KingEdward III, wherein John, King of France was taken prisoner andbrought captive to England. Soon after this memorable victory atruce between England and France was agreed on for two years,during which interval of public action, Mr. Stanley, being amartial genius, and intent to improve himself in the art of war,visited most of the courts in Europe, even as far asConstantinople where he made such advances in the school of warthat his superior skill in arms was generally applauded in everycountry he passed through in so much that the fame thereof gavehim the character of the most noted champion in single combat ofthat age; and on his return through France, the reputation ofhis bravery so rallied the pride and envy of a haughty Frenchcombatant that he followed John Stanley to England and therechallenged the whole nation to engage him in arms.  King Richard II commissioned him to Ireland in 1379. He was madeLord Chief Justice of Ireland for six years and in 1395 he wasmade Constable of the Castle of Roxborrow in Scotland. In 1400he was appointed Lord Lieutenant of Ireland by King Henry IV.His brother William of Hooten and Stourton was his deputy inIreland. Sir John was appointed Stewart of the King Henry IVhousehold and by his advice and assistance the King raised aformidable army with his son Sir John.

Lydulph, the elder son, had a sonAdam, and Adam, the younger, had a son William. These two youngNormans, Adam and William both married wives of the Saxon familyde Stoneley.  Adam de Alditheley married Mabella, daughter of Sir Henry deStoneley, and received with her as her marriage portion the twoadjacent estates of Stoneley and Balterley. They were ancestorsof the noble family of Audley, so called by a shortening oftheir name from Alditheley to Aldethley and Audley.  King Henry III gave land to Henry de Audley, the seat of RedCastle in the County of Salop, Heathly Castle, Stafford County.Henry Stanley de Stoneley lived about 40-50 years before theconquest.

Andrew "Andy" Jackson Ramey

Andy Ramey, one of our oldest and well respected citizens died at the home of his son, Alonzo Ramey, Friday, Jan 21, 1927 at 9:30pm. He was 84 years of age, and death was caused by a general complication of descend - just worn out and pasted on, like so many of our good old citizens go.

The writer as known Andy Ramey since childhood, and we can say that he lived a good clean life, industrious, honest and never was known to be a meddler in other people's affairs. He minded strictly to his own business.

He and his good wife, now deceased, lived on the farm for many years, and raised a nice family of good boys and girls, who are a credit to any community. While he did not possess any of this world's wealth, we consider his life was a success in many ways. His good deeds here will live on & on. Truly a good old Father has passed to his reward above. The following obituary was read at the funeral services Sunday:

"Andrew Jackson Ramey was born Dec. 12, 1842 and died Jan. 21, 1927, age 84 years. He was married to Elizabeth Ann Hutchinson when a young man, and to this union were born seven children, six of whom are living; Alonzo Ramey and Mrs. Minnie Vaughn of Vienna; Albert Ramey, Grand Chain; Mrs. Alice Bellaney, West Frankfort; Mrs. Mattie Conway and Mrs. Linnie Jack, Kankakee. He was baptized into the Methodist Church when an infant and held to that faith all though life."

Funeral services were held at the home of his son, Alonzo Ramey, south of town, Sunday afternoon, conducted by Rev. Ernest Connell, followed by interment at the Fraternal Cemetery.

Ramey 83 83 WILLIAM RAMEY was issued a pass to settle in "Cherokee Country" sometime between 1801 and 1804 by indian agent Jonathan Meigs. Early in the 1800's a Jacob Remy descendant, William R. Remy and his wife Anna Samlins settled near the present Elkhorn City on the Virginia-Kentucky line in the present Pike County, Kentucky. He built a home near the mouth
of Elkhorn Creek; this build was the beginning of Elkhorn City.

William laid claim to large tracts of land containing coal, timber, oil and gas,
around Elkhorn City. He acquired thousands of acres of land through Land
Surveys secured by State Land Grants and by County Court Orders, he also bought
and traded for other land. At one time he owned all the land from the Forks
of the Russell and Levisa Rivers to the Headwaters of Grassy Creek in Virginia,
which included a good part of the Breaks region. Pike County Rameys of today state
that William owned more than 40,000 acres of land, but a fire in his home, or in the prove his ownership, other Individuals and large Companies claimed much of the land.
In 1858 owned 609 acres on Grassy Creek waters of Sandy River. June 3 1852 bought
84 acres on Grassy Creek, on a cliff. However, at his death in 1865 he left much
land to his children as is shown by his will found in Pike County Will Book on page 50

http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~genbel/newsletter/belcherblues.html

The entire text of The Remy Family in America can be found at:
http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Estates/1221/rameyindex.htm

There is a two hundred-year gap between Didier and the next in line, Pierre Remy (Sir). Treasurer to the King 1322/1328.
There is a six hundred-year gap between Pierre and the next in line, Didier, King of the Lombards, b. 750 ad.
Given as "King of the Lombards" in 750 A.D. Remy was a tribe in Gaul.. later called Ivoy, and later, Lorraine and Picardy, France. They were thought to be a family of Italy and were the only tribes to work with Caesar when he entered Gaul. Before those days, they may have come from Egypt. There is a seven hundred-year gap between Didier Remy and the Remi tribes of Gaul in 54 B.C. Called Remigius in Latin. Clovis was crowned first King of France by a Remy. He was them made a Saint, Saint Remy, and Christianity came to France. Rheimes Cathedral was built in his honor. Many Remi men became part of Catholic religious orders down to the time of the Huguenots when the family divided...due to the conflict on religious intepretation.  Foregoing, and allother "Notes" information supplied by Martha Brown, 10099 Stoudertown Road Pickerington, Ohio, 43147 June 22, 1999  Following supplied by Gay Lynne Ramey Wells and was copied from her web site:   http://www.geocities.com/wells789/jacob.html on 8-5-2000  Didier Remy, King of the Lombards 750-800: "Didier, King of the Lombards, besieged the new Pope, Adrian I, at Rome. Charlemagne, King of France, had married Desiree, sister of King Didier. Charlemange sent Desiree home to the King. As Charlemange was a champion of the Church of Rome, the Pope asked his help, following King Didier's attack. Charlemange attacked the King of the Lombards and finally besieged him in his most strongly fortified place, Pavia. After 8 years of fighting, King Didier REMY surrendered and Charlemange banished him to a monestary at Liege, Belgium where he ended his days in saintly style."  Although Saint Remy is shown in this genealogy as "parent" of Didier, in reality, there are about 300 years difference in their ages. Reason: a direct, connecting link has not yet been documented. However, enough evidence remains to strongly suggest the connection.
Saint Remy was born in 437 at Cerny in Lorraine near Leon of Croanne, ancient Picardy (now dept of Ainna). He died January 13, 533 at Rhiems. He was the son of Count Emile de Laon Remy and Celiene. He was the brother of Principle, Bishop of Goismons. He studied literature in which his great virtue and noble birth caused him to succeed at Gannade, the metropolitan seat in 459 AD, where he acquired great knowledge and piety. Authorative records of his life and works are rare. Nevertheless, a few of his writings are preserved in the church records. He was considered the greatest orator of his time. He was the first Bishop of Rhiems and annointed and crowned Clovis, First King of France in 496 AD. He was ennobled in 497.

Francis Asbury was "transported" meaning that he was brought over as a servant to work his way to America. Transported people agreed to give service for a certain period of time to pay for their transportation. This info was obtained from "The Early Settlers of Maryland," by Gus Skordas.

VII. HENRY IV was possibly a minor at his father's death as it was returned in 1275 that Walter Achard, by Maurice de St. Maur, seneschal of Edmund the king's brother, had taken two and a half marcs for respite of knighting. (Rot. Hun. I, 59a). In 1297 Henry held of the said Edmund one fee in Brailsford, with its church; Unstone in Dronfield, with the church there and Wingerworth. (I.P.M. I, 141, 303, 312). In 1280 Sir Henry de Brailsford, with others, held an enquiry into a dispute between Burton abbey and its tenants. (C Bur. 85). In 1281 a composition was made between the same abbey and Henry de Brailsford, Robert de Stafford, Henry de Chandos and William de Caverswall and their tenants about enclosing waste lands. (Rad. Ch. xii). In 1283 Henry and Robert de Monjoye held an inquisition upon the action of Robert de S. Andrew who, as it was alleged, came to Borrowash (Burgh) by Spondon and carried away the goods of the Master of S. Lazarus of Burton. (C.I.M. 1298). In 1291 Elizabeth, a daughter of Henry de Brailsford, was married to John son and heir of Sir Henry de Chandos. John received one hundred pounds and all Henry's lands in Radbourne were settled upon Elizabeth. (Rad. Ch. xvii, xviij). A second daughter, Katharine, is said to have married Nicholas de Longford. (C. Cock. f. 234, n). On April 30, 1302, Henry and his heirs had a grant of free warren in all their demesne lands in Brailsford and Wingerwortb. (C. Chart. R. III, 24). In the following year he was appointed to collect the aid for the marriage of the king's daughter. (Ab. R.O. 128). Between 1272 and 1304 he appears as a witness in several deeds. (J. 113, 335, 928, 1568, 2287, 2712; C. Ryd. 286). The Roger de Brailsford, chaplain, mentioned in 1316 and 1333 was probably his son. (Rad. Ch. 6, 7). The exact date of his death has not been established, but he was succeeded by his son Ralph.

The derivation of the word Cogar, as it now is spelled has been changed from
German to English. It has in some branches of the family, undergone several
changes in the past 200 years.

many immigrants from Europe, with the exception of the English, have left out
letters and changed others, in their proper name, so as to be so near English
as possible and this today their names have become anglinized.

It is interesting to study and know how this one branch of the family have
spelled their name from time to time.

In Germany and later, even after coming to America, many of them spelled this
name Koger, as many still do. But some branches spelled it Cowger, others
Coger and still others in the present form of Cogar.

Shortly before August County, Virginia was organized in 1745. One Nicholas
Koger died in Orange County and his estate was offered for probate there on
August 26, 1743, by his brother Jacob Koger and Adam Miller. It is known that
he was of German blodd and his name was spelled then as it is now.

All of the Cogars in Braxton and Webster Counties of West Virginia, are
decendants of 2-E Peter Coger, a Revolutionary War Soldier. He came to
Nicholas County from Franklin County, Virginia. His son 3-EJ Jacob Cogar
settled on the little Kanawha River, in what is now Braxton County, West
Virginia sometime before 1840.

2-E Peter Coger, a son of ! - Jacob Koger and his wife Lucinda Crum, was born
at the Koger home on the "Hawksbill of the Shenandoah River" in the year of
1753. He was anative of Virginia.

Veterans Administration Washington, D.C.

The record of Peter Coger, is furnished herein as shown in the papers on file
in his claim for pension S 10481, based upon his service in the Revolutionary
War.

Peter Coger was born in the year of 1753, "in the state of Pennsylvania" or
"on the Hawksbill of the Shenandoah in Virginia" both statements made by the
soldier. The names of his parents are not shown. In one statement he says
that he was taken to Virginia as an infant and was reared in Augusta and
Rockingham Counties of that state.

While a resident of Rockingham County, Virginia, Peter Coger volunteered in
July 1777, served as a private in Captain Jeremiah Ragan's Virginia Company,
marched to Point Pleasant and continued in service for six months. He
enlisted in April 1778, served as a private in Captains Abraham Bowman's and
Abraham Kellar's companies in General George Roger Clark's expedition against
the indians, was in the battle of Vincennes and was discharged May 8, 1779.
He enlisted in the spring of 1780 and served in Captain Jeremiah Ragan's
Virginia company for three monthe, shortly after which he enlisted and served
three months in Captain John Hopkins Virginia Company. He enlisted in the
spring of 1781, served as private in Captain George Cressman's Virginia
company, was stationed a part of the time near Fredericksburg and was
discharged after the surrender of Lord Cornwallis.

Peter Coger was allowed pension on his application executed December 3, 1832,
at which time he resided in Lewis County, Virginia. His name was borne on the
pension rolls as Peter Coger. In 1837, the soldier was residing in "a remote
corner of Kanawha County, Virginia.

Peter Coger made no reference to wife or children. He stated that his
brother, Jacob Coger, entered service with him in 1778 and served under
General George Roger Clark against the indians and that they returned to
Rockingham County, Virginia together.

There is no claim for pension of file based upon services in the Revolutionary
War for a Jacob Coger, Cogar or Koger.

Homer Beers James:
8. William de Ferrers, 6th Earl of Derby, was ousted of his dignities upon the return of King Richard from captivity, took arms in his behalf, and joining the Earl of Chester, besieged Nottingham Castle, which, after a brief resistance, surrendered. For this and other acts of fidelity, he was chosen by the king to sit with the rest of the peers in the great council held at the said castle of Nottingham in the ensuing March. Moreover, at Richard's second coronation he was one of the four that carried the canopy over the king's head. Upon the accession of King John, William de Ferrers, with the Earls of Clare and Chester, and other great men, swore fealty to the new monarch, but on the condition that each person should have his right. William was present at the coronation of King John, and on June 7, following, being solemnly created Earl of Derby, by special charter, dated at Northampton, he was girt with a sword by the king's own hands (being the first of whom in any charter that expression was used). He had also a grant of the third penny of all the pleas before the sheriff throughout the whole country, whereof he was earl, to hold to him and his heirs as amply as any of his ancestors had enjoyed the same. Moreover, in consideration of 4,000 marks, he obtained another charter from the king of the manor of Higham-Ferrers, co. Northampton, with the hundred and park; as also of the manors of Bliseworth and Newbottle, in the same shire; which were part of the lands of his great grandfather, William Peverel, of Nottingham. King John also conferred upon him a mansion-house, situated in the parish of St. Margaret, within the city of London, which had belonged to Isaac, a Jew, at Norwich, "to hold by the service of waiting upon the king (the earl and his heirs) , at all festivals yearly, without any cap, but with a garland of the breadth of his little finger upon his head." These liberal marks of royal favor were felt so gratefully by the earl, that in all the subsequent struggles between the king and the refractory barons, he never once swerved from his allegiance, but remained true to the monarch; and after King John's decease, he adhered with the same unshaken loyalty to the interests of his son, King Henry III. He assisted at the coronation of the new monarch; and immediately after the ensuing Easter he took part with the famous William Marshall (governor of the king and the kingdom), the Earls of Chester and Albemarle, and many other great men in the siege of Mountsorell Castle, in Leicestershire, then held by Henry de Braybroke, and ten other stout knights. And the same year, was likewise with those nobles at raising the siege of Lincoln, which place the rebellious barons with Louis, King of France, had invested. He married Agnes ________, sister and one of the co-heirs of Ranulph, Earl of Chester, by whom he had two sons, William and Thomas. He died of the gout in 1246, and his countess died in the same year, after a union, according to some authorities of seventy-five, and by others, of fifty-five years. He was succeeded by his eldest son, William.

----------
There is substantial confusion over his name. See The Complete Peerage Vol. 4, p 193 for an account. Personally, I feel there could have been two brothers, William and Robert, Robert being the Earl and when he died at Acre his nephew William son of his brother William succeeded, but no documents support this theory either! In The Complete Peerage vol. XIV ,p .250 it is suggested that Robert is a fabrication by Vincent, Earl of Ferrieres. [Brian Tompsett, Directory of Royal Genealogical Data]

Note: This nobleman rebelled against King Henry II and, marching at the head of the Leicestershire men upon Nottingham, then kept for the King by Reginald de Lucie, got possession of the town, which he sacked, putting the greater part of the inhabitants to the sword and taking the rest prisoners. He soon afterwards, however was reduced to submission and obliged to surrender to the crown his castles of Tutbury and Duffield, which were demolished by order of the king. His lordship married Sibilla, daughter of William de Braose, Lord of Abergavenny and Brecknock, by whom he had issue: William, his successor; Milicent married Roger Mortimer of Wigmore; Agatha, concubine to King John, by whom she had Jaone, who married Llewellyn the Great, Prince of North Wales; Anghared married Llewelly Vychan, grandson of Lord Rhys, Prince of South Wales.

find new homes.

Five brothers and one sister came to America from Germany to found the Koger
family. The sister was the first to come, as she was the wife of adam Miller.

Records were secured of the Evangelical Prodestant Church as Schresheim,
Baden, Germany from Pastor G. Schaab.

Jacob and his younger brother, Michael, came on the ship, Morton House, where
it sailed last from Deal, England on June 15, 1728 and landed at the Port of
Philadelphia on August 24, 1728, taking two months and nine days to cross the
Atlantic.

Nicholas Koger came later and arrived at the Port of Philadelphia on August
17, 1832. Joseph Koger came to America with the Reverend Peter Pury's colony
and arrived at Charleston, South Carolina, about 1734. Peter Koger came also
by the way of Philadelphia and arrived there on October 18, 1783

Due to the fact that these were colonies of Great Britain and that these
people were not natives of Great Britain, but were of Germany, it was
necessary that they take an Oath of Allegiance at the time of entry:

"We subscribers, natives and late inhabitants of the palatinate, upon the
Rhine and places adjacent, having transported ourselves and families into the
province of Pennsylvania, a colony subject of Great Britain, in hopes and
expectation of finding a retreat and peaceful settlement therein, do solemnly
promise and engage that we will be faithful to and bear true allegiance to His
Magesty, King George, the second and his successors, Kings of Great Britain,
and will be faithful to the proprietor of this province; that we will demean
ourselves, peaceably to all His Majesty's subjects, and strickly observe and
conform to the laws of England and this province, to the utmost of our power
and the best of our understand."

Jacob Koger singed this oath at the time he landed at Philadelphia on August
24, 1728. Hans Jacob Koger was born in that section of the palatinate of
Germany, known as Baden, on July 24, 1710. He was just a young man of 18
years when he arrived in America. He brought with him his younger brother,
still a child, Michael.

Jacob, and his younger brothers passage was paid to this country by a Mr.
Harmon, with the understanding that Jacob would work for this Mr. Harmon for
atleast two years, without pay, so that Mr. Harmon would be repaid for the
funds that he had advanced for the passage. Jacob Koger lived up to his
agreement.

Family tradition tells us that, while still a young boy, Michael Koger was
playing in a pear tree when a dead limb caught in his clothing and suspended
him until his life was extinct.

Jacob and his brother Nicholas, stayed in Pennsylvania for a while but later
moved on southwest intto the valley of Virginia where their sister, Mrs. Adam
Miller lived. But this was not until after they were both married and had
children of their own.

While still in Pennsylvania, about 1737, Jacob married Lucinda Crum and their
children were as follows: Michael Koger, who was named for the little brother
Jacob brought with him. He was born in 1740 in Pennsylvania but lived and
married in August County, Virginia. Henry Koger who was born in Pennsylvania
on October 15, 1743, and who later lived in Henry County, Virginia. John
Koger, who was born in January of 1745 and died in Patrick County Virginia, on
February 18, 1835. Jacob Koger Jr. who was a Revolutionary War Soldier and
who died in Franklin County, Virginia on May 21, 1797. Peter Koger, also a
soldier of the Revolution, born in 1753 and later a resident of Rockingham
County, Virginia. Nicholas Koger, the youngest son, who moved westward to
what is now Wayne County, Kentucky and died on November 26, 1824 in Campbell
County, Tennessee. Mary Koger, the one daughter that married a Dr. Stone of
Henry County, Virginia, and of whom we have no further record. Family
tradition ways, there was still another son and his name was possibly Joseph,
that was killed by drowning in the spring of the Koger home in Henry County,
Virginia.

As to exactly when Jacob Koger, His wife and Family left Pennsylvania and
moved to Augusta County, Virginia, it is still not exactly known, but it was
definitely after 1743 as Henry Koger was born in Pennsylvania; whether John
Koger the third son was born there or in Virginia is not definitely
established. But old histories of Virginia, (Sparks) page 418, Jacob Koger is
definitely establised in Augusta County by the year of 1746. In the spring
court of Virginia on May 19, 1748, Jacob Koger was made overseer of the road
in Augusta County, Virginia, to succeed Adam Miller, His brother-in-law. On
May 20, 1752, Jacob was made constable of Augusta County, Virginia.

On April 24, 1753, Jacob Koger was granted by the Governor of Virginia 930
acres of land at the Hawksbill of the Shenandoah River. This land granted is
on file att the land office in Richmond, Virginia. It reads as follows:
"Grant to Jacob Koger. George the second, by the Grace of God, of Great
Britain, France and Ireland, King, defender of the faith, do to all of these
whom presents shall come, Greetings, know ye, that for divers good causes and
consideration and especially for and in consideration of the sum of forty
schillings of good and lawful money, for our use paid and to our receiver
general of our revenues in this colony and dominion of Virginia. We have
given, granted and confirmed and by these presents by us, our heirs and
successors, do give grant and confirmed and by these presents certain tract or
parcel of land, containing nine hundred and thirty acres, lying and being in
the County of Augusta on the south side of the Shenandoah River, 530 acres,
being part of the tract of 2,000 acres formerly granted unto Richard Maudlin,
Jr., by our letters of 1743 and 400 acres, the residue, never before granted.
With all woods, underwoods, swamps, marshes, lowground, meadows, feldings and
his due share of all veins, mines and quarries as well discovered and not

fishing, fowling and any other proper commodities and herdsmen, whatsoever, to
the same or any part thereof, belonging on in all will appertaining, to have
hold, possess and every part thereof, with their and every appurtenances unto
the said Jacob Koger, his heirs and assigns. Former to have been held by us,
our heirs, successors of our Manor of East Greenwich, in the County of Kent.
In free and common society and not in Captive or by Knight's service.
Yielding and praying upon us, our heirs and successors forever, every 50 acres
of land and so proportionally, for lesser or greater quantity than 50 acres,

Michael, the Arch Angel, also cultivating and improving these acres, part of
every fifty of the tract above mentioned, within the year after the date of
these presents, excepting for so much of the said land as hath already been
cultivated and improved, according to the conditions and the said former
patent. Provided always that three years of the said rent fee shall be
anytime in arrears and unpaid, or if the said Jacob Koger, his heirs or
assigns, do not within the space of three years, next coming after the date of
these presents, except as in before excepted, then the estate hereby granted,
shall cease deformed the same land and provisions with the appurtances with,
to such other persons or Robert Dinwiddie, Esq. our silent Gover and Commander
in Chief of our said colony, the 24th day of April 1753, and in the 27th year
of our reign.
Robert Dinwiddie."

In the year 1743, Nicholas Koger, the brother of Jacob Koger, died in Orange
County, Virginia. Jacob was appointed as administrator of his brothers estate.
It took Jacob ten years to settle this estate. Jacob and his brother-in-law
Adam Miller were appointed as guardians of Michael Koger, son of Nicholas
Koger. On May 24th, 1753, Jacob Koger made a report to the Court of Orange
County setting out payments and that he had traveled twice to Pennsylvania to
settle the estate of his brother. He also states that he has paid to the
widow, Mrs. Elizabeth Koger, her part of her husbands estate, being her dower.
On the same day, he entered into an agreement with Thomas Macredie to pay
59.12.3 by June 1, 1754, to the orphans of Nicholas Koger as thier part of
their fathers estate.

On June 6, 1762, Michael Koger, the oldest son of Jacob Koger, and his wife,
Lucinda Crum, married and Jacob Koger gave unto his son, Michael 455 acres of
his land that he had received by the above patent. He tetained the balance of
545 acres and appointed his son, Michael as overseer of his lands.

In this same year, Jacob Koger and the rest of his family moved southward in
Virginia, into what was then Halifax County, but today is on the Patrick and
Henry County lines, and about 20 miles from the present city of Martinsville,
and close to the community of Sanville. Here in this section of Virginia
Jacob Koger lived for the rest of his life. Here he built a home and acquired
many acres of land. This home was built above a spring so that he and his
family would be able to get water without being exposed to the Indians. One
of his children, while just a child, as drowned in this spring.

It is said that Jacob Koger, one night dreamed, three times in succession,
that the Indians had come and killed his children. He got his wife and
children up and took them over the creek to a neighboring hill and spent the
remainder of the night. The next morning he discovered that his home had been
plundered by the indians and that a fine horse as gone. He had paid one
thousand acres of land for this animal. Fortunately, this horse escaped from
the Indians, in what is now Floyd County, Virginia and was returned to him.

A fort was built three miles south of his home and he would often take his
family there to seek refuge during the Indian raids. Wild animals were
plentiful in this section of the country, at this time. He often killed 4,000
pounds of bear meat and with other small game he was able to supply his family
with meat during the winters. It was then impossible for him to raise hogs
due to the depredation of the wild beasts of the forest.

Jacob Koger was too old a man to have been in the Revolutionary War but three
of his sons did serve: Michael, Jacob Jr., and Peter.

Jacob Koger could read and write and served in this section of Virginia in
several official capacities -- as Justice of the Peace, Constable, and Deputy
Sheriff. It is interesting to read some of the returns that he executed and
that are on the records of Virginia. "Not executed by reason of a gun." "Not
executed by the reason that the defendant outrode me." "Not executed by the
reason of the heathen Indians ranging, so I could not get there."

There is on record in Henry County, Virginia, a contract that will give and
show the relative value of currency and corn during these Revolutionary War
days. "Know all men ty these presents, that I, Suzzannah Reynolds, of the
County of Henry, for the full sum of one thousand pounds, Virginia Currency, I
bind myself my heirs, executors and administators, jointly and severally by
these presents, sealed with my seal and dated this date, Anno Domini 1779.
The consideration of the above obligationis such that if the above Suzzannah
Reynolds does well and truly pay or causes to be paid, unto the above named
Jacob Koger, his heirs or assignees, thirty barrels of good and merchantable
corn, delivered, delivered a the said Koger's dwelling house, on or before the
25 of December next, ensuing the date hereof, then the above obligation is
void. Otherwise to remain in full force and power.

In 1781, fifty three years after coming to America, he gave his son, 2-B Henry
Koger, the tract of land where he lived, being a certain parcel of land lying
on both sides of Stone Creek. This deed was not filed until 1782. It was
witnessed by Peter Koger and Mary Koger. It would appear that his wife,
Lucinda Crum Koger, was then deceased, as her name does not appear on this
document.

Jacob Koger had a brother, Joseph Koger, that lived in South Carolina. While
there is no evidence that he journeyed to South Carolina to visit him, there
is plenty of evidence, both in Virginia and in South Carolina, that two of his
sons did go to South Carolina on several occasions to visit with the Koger
family there. These two sons being 2-B Henry Koger and 2-C John Koger. On
one occasion 2-B Henry Koger took with him a small boy by the name of William
Koger, who is thought to be the son of 2-D Jacob Koger, Jr. As proof of the
connection between the family of Jacob Koger of Virginia and Joseph Koger of
South Carolina, there is now on record at Columbia, South Carolina, a letter
that was written during these times. It will quote it verbatim.

A letter of 1783. The following letter, written by Joseph Koger, a former
officer in the militia of South Carolina, during the Revolution, a resident of
that part of former Charleston District, now embraced in Colleton County, to
two cousins in Virginia.

Koger Family Crest

The shield of the Koger Family "Coat of Arms" or "Code of Identification" is
at an angle and it is a reddish yellow or golden in color.

The charges are in silver and are three in number. They are blades or that
portion of the plow that turns the earth and they point downward. They are
staggered in the shield. They are colled "Kogs". It is from this that the
family name was originated. They also indicate that the Koger's of
generations ago, were mainly farmers or tillers of the soil by occupation.

The helmet is steel gray and is lined with a blue green border and it is
topped with crimson. It rests on the extreme upper right-hand corner of the
shield.

The wreath is four in number and is an alternation of gold and blue.

The crest itself is two "kogs" or blades as in the arms, one on top of the
other, one facing downard and the other inverted and pointing upward.

The Mantling is a variation of purple and dark blue.

The ribbon bears no motto and changes with its folds from a dark to light blue.

The name KOGER appears below the ribbon and shows no change or variation in
the spelling of the name from its origin to the present generation.

The "Coat of Arms" is German in its conception. It has been documented and
recorded in several books on German Heraldry. It has now been handed down in
the family for generations.

It had more usage in previous times in Germany, than it does here in America.
It was diplayed by the family on their farm gates and over the doors of their
homes to identify the fact that "Kogers" lived there. Thus the term "Code of
Identification"

Cousen and Friend
Joseph Koger

"Mrs. Koger gives her kind love to all".

This letter was written by Joseph Koger, Jr., of South Carolina after the
death of Jacob Koger of Henry County, Virginia, as he refers to his uncle, so
word had not been received by them of the death of Jacob Koger.

Jacob Koger died in Henry County, Virginia, on June 13, 1783. Jacob Koger had
given away his land to his son, Henry Koger, so left no real estate, but the
records of Helry County, Virginia, does list his personal estate and it is as
follows.

Estate of Jacob Koger, deceased June 13, 1783, viz.

1 Copper still and worm, 2 head horses, 2 head cattle, 1 pair spoon molds, 1
loom and guide, Wheel and two stays, 2 pewter bowls, 2 pewter dishes, 1 shear
and cutter, 1 trowel hoe, 1 winding hoe.

The above list of tools indicates very accurately Jacob Koger's vocation and
his mode of living. The first item of the list shows that Jacob Koger kept a
still.

Jacob Koger spent almost 55 years here in America.

Jacob Koger was 72 years, 10 months, and 15 days old when he died in Henry
County, Virginia.

Nothing is known about the death of his wife, Lucinda Crum Koger, as her name
is not mentioned in 1781 when he made the deed to his lands to his son, Henry
Koger, nor is he mentioned as an heir to his estate, which would cause one to
presume that she must have preceded him in death.

Nothing is known exactly as to where Jacob Koger and his wife are buried, but
it is thought by many that they rest in the Koger Family Cemetery on the old
Henry Koger farm, which was Jacob's land previously. There are many unmarked
Koger graves here. It was here in Virginia that Jacob Koger spent so many
years of a very active live as a farmer, mechanic, and machinist.

History has taught us that on an average from one man in ten generations comes
2,000 people. We the descendants of Jacob Koger in some cases are now
reaching this 10th generation. It is with pride, but not affected price, that
we record these few happenings in the life of our common ancestor; he has left
it to each of us, to cntrol our own destiny and in our own generation to wear
well our KOGER name.

I wish at this time to gratefully acknowledge the help of many in the Koger
family that makes these notes possible and, especially, the work of Mr. Marvin
V. Koger, deceased. As without his great work and background we would not
have the facts and history that we now possess. If any of the Koger family
has additional information and will forward it to me, I will greatly welcome
same.

3rd Earl of Chester
Note: Ranulf or Randle de Meschines, surnamed de Bricasard, Viscount Bayeux, in Normandy, (son of Ralph de Meschines, by Maud, his wife, co-heir of her brother, Hugh Lupus, the celebrated Earl of Chester), was given by King Henry I the Earldom of Chester, at the decease of his 1st cousin, Richard de Abrincis, 2nd Earl of Chester, of that family, without issue. By some historians, this nobleman is styled Earl of Carlisle, from residing in that city; and they further state that he came over in the train of the Conqueror, assisted in the subjugation of England, and shared, of course, in the spoil of conquest. He was lord of Cumberland and Carlisle, by descent from his father, but having enfeoffed his two brothers, William, of Coupland, and Geffrey, of Gillesland, in a large portion thereof, he exchanged the Earldom of Cumberland for that of Chester, on condition that those whom he had settled there should hold their lands of the king, in capite. His lordship m. Lucia, widow of Roger de Romara, Earl of Lincoln, and dau. of Algar, the Saxon, Earl of Mercia, and had issue, Ranulph, his successor; William, styled Earl of Cambridge, but of his issue nothing in known; Adeliza, m. to Richard Fitz-Gilbert, ancestor of the old Earls of Clare; and Agnes, m. to Robert de Grentemaisnil. The earl d. in 1128 and was s. by his elder son, Ranulph de Meschines. [Sir Bernard Burke, Dormant and Extinct Peerages,. Burke's Peerage, Ltd., London, 1883, p. 365, Meschines, Earls of Chester]

1055: Aelfgar, outlawed on a charge of treason, raided Mercia with Welsh and Irish help and burned Hereford. Harold II led the English army and forced the enemy to retire. Inthe peace that followed, Aelfgar was restored, but in 1058 he was again outlawed and again came back with the help of Gruffydd of Wales and a Viking fleet ledby Magnus, son of Harald Hardraade.

[Burke's Peerage]

I am not sure if this Robert (the one identified by Burke's Peerage] is the same as the Robert identified as an ancestor of Mathew Gifford b. 1269 by many sources on World Connect. The two Roberts come to be born about the same time. Burke's seems to indicate that their Robert is in someway descended (directly?) from Osbern de Bolebec, which this Robert is (indirectly through several daughters), and presumably took the name of his maternal grandmother.

[Sir Bernard Burke, Dormant, Abeyant, Forfeited, and Extinct Peerages, Burke's Peerage, Ltd., London, 1883, p. 22, Bardolf, Barons Bardolf] ~1115 Amabilia Limesay ~0955 Alwara Athelstansdotter Countess of Mercia 1080 - 1161 Akaris FitzBardolph 81 81 1045 - 1120 Bardolph FitzThorfin 75 75 ~1050 Alselyn 1118 Simon de Corbet 1062 - 1134 Roger Corbet 72 72 ~1255 John Grindon of Armenia? 1330 John Bracton 1178 William de Bracebridge ~1148 Peter de Bracebridge ~1730 - 1797 George Mucklewain 67 67 ~1153 Amicia de Arden ABT 1110/1123 Osbert de Arden 1060 Turchill de Warwick BIOGRAPHY: Turchill was a man of great power and note, was lord of vast landed possessions at the time of the Conquest, as appears at the General Survey. Turchill had two wives and has issue by 1st three sons, Siward, Peter, a monk, and Ralph de Arden, of Hampden. This first wife was the Countess of Perche, a widow. Turchill held 52 lordships in County Warwick, 14th of William, the Conqueror, 1080. By his 2nd wife, Leveruma, heiress of the Earls of Mercia, he had a son Osbert.

BIOGRAPHY: It is from Siward, his eldest son, descended Mary Arden, who married John Shakespeare, of Stratford-on-Avon, and was the mother of the poet, William Shakespeare. It is said that there are many knightly and noble houses, yet extant, who are thus "participators of the blood that flowed in the Poet's veins."

BIOGRAPHY: Turchill was one of the first here in England that, in imitation of the Normans, assumed a surname; for it appears that he did, and wrote himself Turchillis de Eardene, in the days of King William Rufus (1087-1100). This most ancient and worthy family, whose surname was first assumed from their residence in this part of the county, in the parish of Cudworth, which was held by Uluvinius, or Ulfa, Turchill's great-great-grandfather. This was then and yet called Arden, by reason of its woodiness, the old Britons and Gauls using the word arden in that sense. However, their principal seats were in other places, Kingsbury and Hampton, but this is the place which continued longest in the family.
1065 - ~1096 Leverunia 31 31 ~1098 Ralph de Arden 1030 Ailwinn BIOGRAPHY: Ailwin was the Vice-Comes, or Sheriff of Warwickshire. Alwyne is styled "Alvinus Vicecomes" in the General Survey, and "The reason thereof," observes Dugdale, "I conceive to be either because he did exercise the power and authority of the Earls of Mercia in Warwick as his ancestors had done, for which respect he and they have been reputed earls, as I have ranckt them in that degree, or else that he hath the custody of the county to the king's immediate use."

Thane of Middlesex & Bedford
1000 Wigot BIOGRAPHY: Wigot, "a potent man and a great warrior," in the time of King Ethelred and the Danish kings, married Erminhild, daughter of Leofwine, Earl of Mercia. 1008 Erminhild 0976 Wulfgeat BIOGRAPHY: Wulfgeat had his estate taken from him by King Ethelred and his lands and honors in 1006, for his wicked courses and oppressions. 0950 - 0990 Ulfa 40 40 BIOGRAPHY: Ulfa, or Ufa, a devout man, was Earl of Warwick, and granted in 974, with the consent of King Edgar, the whole village of Whitlarford to the monks of Evesham. ~0941 Edulph 0924 Weyth BIOGRAPHY: Wegent, or Wolgeat, called Weyth the Humed, was a person much honored for his skill in martial affairs, and a friend of the monks of Evesham, to which he was a benefactor. 0900 Reynbourne BIOGRAPHY: Reyburn was stolen by foreign merchants and carried into Russia, and one of Earl Guy's train, called a gallant Knight, Sir Heraud de Arderne, went in search of his young lord. Earl Guy himself also set out on a pilgrimage to the Holy Land, and returning in the guise of a Palmer (pilgrim), arrived at the court of King Athelstan at the time, A. D. 926, when he was sorely besieged by the Danes at Winchester, and to whom he would be compelled to become a vassal unless he could find a champion to overthrow in single combat a gigantic Dane, or "Saracen," called Colbrand. The disguised Palmer inquires of King Athelstan if no one among his warriors is willing to encounter the Dane, and the King mournfully answers in the negative, adding, "I had once a gallant knight, which was the Earl of Warwick, called Guy; would to God I had him now." The Palmer, after some hesitation, for he was weak from travel and sickness, fights with Colebrand, slays him, and then discovers himself privately to the King, but begs permission to retire from active life, and he became a hermit, fixing his abode at the place since called after him, "Guy's Cliff," near Warwick. Dugdale, p. 154, gives a view of this romantic place, and of "the statue of the sometime famous Guy standing here with in the Chapell of Saint Mary Magdalen." His heater shaped shield has thereon--Chequy Or and Azure a Chevron Ermine. Reynbourne married King Athelstan's daughter. The King thus rewarded Earl Guy and Reynbourne for his rescue from Colbrand 0905 Edithe 0870 - 0927 Guy 57 57 BIOGRAPHY: Guy became Earl of Warwick with his marriage to Felicia.

An undoubted Earl of Gloucester, perhaps the first authentic one, at any rate after the Conquest, is Robert FitzHamon's son-in-law, another Robert, who was an illegitimate son of Henry I and was so created 1122. The Earldom passed to his eldest son, William FitzRobert, and from him to John, later King John and husband from 1189 to 1199 (when he divorced her) of Isabel, the youngest of William FitzRobert's three daughters. On John's coming to the throne the title did not merge in the Crown for it was not his in his own right but in right of his wife.

HIST: BORN IN 1068, HENRY WAS THE FOURTH SON OF WILLIAM THE CONQUERER AND MATILDA. NICKNAMED BEAUCLERC (FINE SCHOLAR) FOR HIS ABOVE AVERAGE EDUCATION. HE MARRIED EDITH (EADGYTH), WHO TOOK THE NAME MATILDA, DAUGHTER OF MALCOLM III. HENRY HAD THE
LONGEST REIGN OF THE NORMAN KINGS OF ENGLAND, 35 YEARS.
HIST: THE FIRST YEARS OF HENRY'S REIGN WERE SPENT SUBDUING NORMANDY. HIS FATHER DIVIDED HIS KINGDOM AMONG HENRY'S OLDER BROTHERS, GIVING ENGLAND TO WILLIAM AND NORMANDY TO ROBERT. HENRY INHERITED NO LAND BUT DID RECEIVE 5000 POUNDS IN SILVER. HE PLAYED BOTH SIDES IN HIS BROTHERS QUARREL, LEADING BOTH TO MISTRUST HENRY, AND SIGNED A PACT BARRING HENRY FROM THE CROWN. HENRY'S HOPES ROSE WHEN ROBERT WENT WITH THE CRUSADES. HENRY WAS IN THE WOODS HUNTING ON AUGUST 2, 1100, WHEN WILLIAM
DIED. HENRY MOVED QUICKLY AND WAS CROWNED ON AUGUST 5, 1100. ROBERT WAS CAPTURED UPON HIS RETURN FROM THE HOLY LAND AND SPENT THE REMAINING 28 YEARS OF HIS LIFE AS HENRY'S PRISONER.
HIST: THE FINAL YEARS OF HENRY'S REIGN WERE CONCENTRATED ON WAR WITH FRANCE, AND CONCERNS OVER SUCCESSION AFTER THE DEATH OF HIS SON WILLIAM IN 1120, LEAVING HIS DAUGHTER MATILDA AS THE ONLY SURVIVING HEIR. SHE WAS RECALLED TO THE ENGLISH COURT AFTER THE DEATH OF HER HUSBAND, EMPEROR HENRY V OF GERMANY, IN 1125. HE FORCED THE NOBLES TO ACCEPT HER AS QUEEN UPON HIS DEATH. SHE WAS THEN FORCED TO MARRY THE 16 YEAR OLD GEOFFREY OF ANJOU (FOUNDER OF THE PLANTAGENET DYNASTY) TO CONTINUE THE ANGEVIN ALLIANCE. THE MARRIAGE WAS UNPOPULAR AMONG THE NORMAN BARONS, AND HENRY WAS FORCED TO ACQUIRE ANOTHER OATH OF ALLEGIANCE FROM THEM.

Henry I was born in the year 1068---a factor he himself regarded as highly significant, for he was the only son of the Conqueror born after the conquest of England, and to Henry this meant he was heir to the throne. He was not an attractive proposition: he was dissolute to a degree, producing at least a score of bastards; but far worse he was prone to sadistic cruelty---on one occasion, for example, personally punishing a rebellious burgher by throwing him from the walls of his town.

At the death of William the Conqueror, Henry was left no lands, merely 5,000 pounds of silver. With these he bought lands from his elder brother Robert Curthose, Duke of Normandy, only to see them taken back again a few years later by Robert, in unholy alliance with his brother William Rufus.

Henry could do little to avenge such treatment, but in England he found numerous barons who were tired of the exactions and ambitions of their king. He formed alliances with some of these, notably with the important De Clare family. He and some of the De Clares were with William Rufus on his last hunting expedition, and it is thought that the king's death was the result of Henry's plotting.

Certainly he moved fast to take advantage of it; leaving Rufus's body unattended in the woods, he swooped down on Winchester to take control of the treasury. Two days later he was in Westminster, being crowned by the Bishop of London. His speed is understandable when one realises that his elder brother, Robert [Curthose], was returning from the crusade, and claimed, with good reason, to be the true heir.

Henry showed great good sense in his first actions as King. He arrested Ranulph Flambard, William's tax-gatherer, and recalled Anselm, the exiled Archbishop. Furthermore, he issued a Charter of Liberties which promised speedy redress of grievances, and a return to the good government of the Conqueror. Putting aside for the moment his many mistresses, he married the sister of the King of Scots, who was descended from the royal line of Wessex; and lest the Norman barons should think him too pro-English in this action, he canged her name from Edith to Matilda. No one could claim that he did not aim to please.

In 1101 Robert Curthose invaded, but Henry met him at Alton, and persuaded him to go away again by promising him an annuity of £2,000. He had no intention of keeping up the payments, but the problem was temporarily solved.

He now felt strong enough to move against dissident barons who might give trouble in the future. Chief amongst these was the vicious Robert of Bellême, Earl of Shrewsbury, whom Henry had known for many years as a dangerous troublemaker. He set up a number of charges against him in the king's court, making it plain that if he appeared for trial he would be convicted and imprisoned. Thus Robert and his colleagues were forced into rebellion at a time not of their own choosing, were easily defeated and sent scuttling back to Normandy.

In Normandy Robert Curthose began to wreak his wrath on all connected with his brother, thus giving Henry an excellent chance to retaliate with charges of misgovernment and invade. He made two expeditions in 1104-5, before the great expedition of 1106 on which Robert was defeated at the hour-long battle of Tinchebrai, on the anniversary of Hastings. No one had expected such an easy victory, but Henry took advantage of the state of shock resulting from the battle to annex Normandy. Robert was imprisoned (in some comfort, it be said); he lived on for 28 more years, ending up in Cardiff castle whiling away the long hours learning Welsh. His son William Clito remained a free agent, to plague Henry for most of the rest of his reign.

In England the struggle with Anselm over the homage of bishops ran its course until the settlement of 1107. In matters of secular government life was more simple: Henry had found a brilliant administrator, Roger of Salisbury, to act as Justiciar for him. Roger had an inventive mind, a keen grasp of affairs, and the ability to single out young men of promise. He quickly built up a highly efficient team of administrators, and established new routines and forms of organisation within which they could work. To him we owe the Exchequer and its recording system of the Pipe Rolls, the circuits of royal justiciars spreading the king's peace, and the attempts at codification of law. Henry's good relationships with his barons, and with the burgeoning new towns owed much to skilful administration. Certainly he was able to gain a larger and more reliable revenue this way than by the crude extortion his brother had used.

In 1120 came the tragedy of the White Ship. The court was returning to England, and the finest ship in the land was filled with its young men, including Henry's son and heir William. Riotously drunk, they tried to go faster and faster, when suddenly the ship foundered. All hands except a butcher of Rouen were lost, and England was without an heir.

Henry's only legitimate child was Matilda, but she was married to the Emperor Henry V of Germany, and so could not succeed. But in 1125 her husband died, and Henry brought her home and forced the barons to swear fealty to her---though they did not like the prospect of a woman ruler. Henry then married her to Geoffrey of Anjou, the Normans' traditional enemy, and the barons were less happy---especially when the newly-weds had a terrible row, and Geoffrey ordered her out of his lands. In 1131 Henry, absolutely determined, forced the barons to swear fealty once more, and the fact that they did so is testimoney of his controlling power. Matilda and Geoffrey were reunited, and in 1133 she produced a son whom she named for his grandfather. If only Henry could live on until his grandson was old enough to rule, all would be well.

But in 1135, against doctor's orders, he ate a hearty meal of lampreys, got acute indigestion, which turned into fever, and died. He was buried at his abbey in Reading---some said in a silver coffin, for which there was an unsuccessful search at the Dissolution.

Note: Henry I (of England) (1068-1135), third Norman king of England(1100-35), and Duke of Normandy, fourth son of William theConqueror. Henry was born in Selby. Because his father, who diedin 1087, left him no land, Henry made several unsuccessfulattempts to gain territories on the Continent. On the death ofhis brother William II in 1100, Henry took advantage of theabsence of another brotherùRobert (circa 1054-1134), who had aprior claim to the throneùto seize the royal treasury and havehimself crowned king at Westminster. Henry subsequently securedhis position with the nobles and with the church by issuing acharter of liberties that acknowledged the feudal rights of thenobles and the rights of the church. In 1101 Robert, who wasduke of Normandy, invaded England, but Henry persuaded him towithdraw by promising him a pension and military aid on theContinent. In 1102 Henry put down a revolt of nobles, whosubsequently took refuge in Normandy, where they were aided byRobert. By defeating Robert at Tinchebray, France, in 1106,Henry won Normandy. During the rest of his reign, however, heconstantly had to put down uprisings that threatened his rule inNormandy.

SOME ENGLISH FAMILIES

OF CHENEY OR SIMILAR NAMES,

BEFORE OR NEAR THE TIME OF THE SETTLEMENT OF

NEW ENGLAND.

The word Chˆne in French means an oak. A great many family names came from some peculiarity of the residence of the family. So, it seems to the writer probable that when a man lived near some conspicuous oak tree or in a grove of oaks (chenies), he was called William de Chˆne, i.e. William of the Oak. As this class of tree was common the name might be given to many unrelated persons. The manor of U--Ottery, 5 miles easterly from Honiton is said by Devonshire historians to have been given by William the Conqueror to

. by Devonshire historians to have been given by William the Conqueror to Ralph de Pomeroy, then passed to the proprietorship of the church of Rouen, "from which it passed to Sir Nicholas Cheyney in the reign of Henry III," (1207-1272.) The probate records of the diocese of Wells show no early wills of Cheyneys, but give two which may pertain to descendants of the family who altered the spelling of the name. 1. William Chinn of Otherie, June 15, 1584. Children: Richard, Isabel, Joane and Marye; wife Joane; brethren, Thomas and Richard. 2. William Chine of Otherie, May 14, 1631. Bequests to William Chine the elder, Thomas Chine the elder, Thomas Chine of Coombe; daughter, Marie; Elizabeth the daughter of John Water. Refers to some money in the hand of William Chine of muirluiche. Bequests to William Tyler my daughter's child, to son William Chine whom he appoints executor. A later will shows that there were some in the vicinity who kept the ancient form of the name. (3) Robert Cheyney of Yeovil; son John Cheyney; Richard and Elizabeth, children of his son Robert Cheyney. Pinhoe, a suburb of Exeter, was the home of William Cheney and family for a few years in the opening of the seventeenth century, but investigation shows that he received the lease of the manor through his wife, whose family were its owners, and his former residence and later home alike evaded our search.

3. Joan Cheyney, wife of John Cheyney of Thorley was buried Jan. 9, 1625.

4. William Cheyney of Broadhembury died, and Thomas Cheyney, vietor, was appointed administrator of his estate Jan. 10, 1633.

LONDON.

1. The will of Thomas Cheyner, mercer, To be buried in the church of St. Laurence, Jewry. Bequests for funeral expenses, to the church of St. L. and to the scholars of Balyol hall, Oxford.

2. Henry Cheyner the father of Johanne, relict of Edmund Hemenhall, and Alice his wife, made his will Aug. 18, 1361.

3. William Cheyne, "recorder of London," is alluded to in connection with several wills in 1379 and other years.

ESSEX. The colony which originally settled Roxbury, in New England, contained a large number of persons from Essex county, England, particularly from Nazeing, which had been the seat of a Puritan congregation. Rev. John Eliot, second pastor of the Roxbury church and afterward the "Apostle to the Indians" was born at Widford, in Hertfordshire,

a few miles north of Nazeing. The region is an interesting one for American genealogists.

At Waltham Abbey, Robert Cheney, [so signed] yeoman, made his will Oct. 1, 1567: wife Johan, sons John, Raufe, William and Robert; he devised lands, houses, rents, leases, &c. in Waltham, and "in Harfordsheare beyonde Smalynge bridge" to Daughter Agnes. A license to marry was issued to "William Cheyney of Waltham Holy Cross, Essex, yeoman, and Margaret Lloyde, widow, of the same," Feb. 1, 1580/1; and they were mar. in the church four days later, his name being spelled "Chenye" by the clerk. Other records there are the following: "Elizabath Chayny dau. of Rape Chayny was baptised March 29, 1584." "Willm Chenye son to John Chenne was baptised 21 Feb. 1584." "Richarde Chenne was buried 12 Sept. 1584." "Elizabeth Chenye the daughter of John Chenye was baptised 11 February, 1587." The parish of St. Peter's, Colchester, was the home of "Isaac Cheineye" or "Cheyney;" in his will which was probated June 27, 1634, he mentions his daughters, Jane Martin, widow, Priscilla George, Katharine Bloise, Thomasine Browne, and dau.-in-law, Katharen Arnold; grandson Isaac Cheiney, son of John Cheiney; Ann, Mary and Thomas Streaton, children of his daughter Thomasin Browne; grandchildren, Elizabeth Rose and Deborah Prisman; sons-in-law, Robert George and Thomas Bloise, residuary legatees and executors.

At Thorley (adjacent) Joan Cheyney ye wife of John Cheyney was buried Jan. 9, 1625.

LINCOLNSHIRE. The probate records contain wills of many persons by the name of Cheney and Cheyney from a remote period. Thomas Cheney of Quadring, 1520; Christopher

Cheyney, Grantham, 1620; John Cheney, Bennington, 1624; Thomas Cheney, Howell, 1633. The latter was entitled "Esquire"; gave to his wife Bridget, daughters, Ann, Elizabeth, and Jane; brother William Chiney; signs "Thomas Cheyney." The will of John of Bennington is worthy of perpetuation. He was one of the wardens of his parish and apparently a man of fine qualities. "In the name of god Amen the Twenty & fowerth day of May 1621 I John Cheney of Bennington in the pts of Holland & county of Lincoln gent. whole in body & of good & pfect remembrance praise be given to almighty god doe ordeine & make this my last will and testament in manner & forme following hereby revoking all other wills by me formerly made -- ffirst I commit my soule into the hands of almighty god trusting most assuredly that by the death of Jesus Christ my Saviour & redeemer my sinnes are forgiven me & my body to be buryed within the quire of Bennington aforesayd nigh unto my wife (???) & for my mortuary as the Lawes of this Realm doe requier Itm I doe give to Lincoln mynster XII6 Itm I doe give to the pore of Bennington one quarter of barly to be distributed amongst the needyest at the feiste of the Nativity of Our Saviour Christ next after my decease Itm I doe give to William Cheney my sonne a double Soveraigne Itm I doe give to John Cheny the elder my sonne fowere pounds Itm I doe give to Thomas Cheney my sonne Thertye poundes Itm I doe give to John Cheny the younger my sonne ffortye poundes Itm I doe give to ffrances Cheney my daughter if she be then living ffive poundes Itm I doe give to Anne Cheney my daughter twenty poundes Itm I doe give to Elisabeth Cheney my dawghter fforty poundes [Then follow other bequests.] The residue of all my goodes & Chattles not given or bequeathed my debts & Legacyes discharged I give them wholly to Alysce my wife whom I doe ordeine & make the sole executrix of this my last will & testament [Signed] John Cheyney." Proved at Boston April 80 1624. The church registers at Bennington give the baptism of children of John and Elizabeth Cheney as follows: Frances, Dec. 20, 1596; William, Feb. 5, 1597; Jane, Feb. 28, 1600; John, June 30, 1605; Edward, July 20 1606; Thomas, July 25, 1607; Agnes, Oct. 16, 1608; John, Nov. 9, 1609; Richard, Sept. 29, 1611; Elizabeth, June 2, 1614. Edward was buried Dec. 8, 1613; the wife Elizabeth was buried June 12, 1614; and the husband and father was buried March 21, 1623. At Leverton, an adjacent parish, Thomas Peeps married Isabel Chenie May 11, 1590. At Freiston another neighboring parish, Walter Cheney was assessed in 1591. In the annals of the town of Boston, near by, the heirs of Christopher Cheyney are stated to have owned land; the date not given. Thomas Cheyney was an alderman of Boston in 1685. John Cheyney was mayor in 1725, and others of the name have borne honors and held large properties there and in Skirbeck. YORKSHIRE. Thomas Cheney, Knight, bought the manor of Thornton, or Thornton Bridge, with lands there and in Norton Milby and Humberton and a third part of the manor of Letby; at Michalmas in the 27th year of Henry VIII [1535.] He settled upon his daughter "Frances Cheyney alias Jesper whom William Cheyney is about to marry," "the manors of Thornegumbolde and Pauleholme, and 12 messuages with lands," &c. in 1547. William and Frances Cheyney sold land in Great Cowdon in Holderness [not dated]. Sir Thomas Cheyney ("armiger") died Feb. 22, 1632, at Paull or Thornegumbald, leaving a widow Priscilla and daughters: Anna, 6 years, 6 mos. old, Elizabeth, 5 years, 6 mos., and Jane, 3 years, 3 mos. A large property, traceable to that in the family almost a century before. The widow is said in Post Mortem proceedings to have gone to Spaulding, Lincoln county. NORFOLK. 1. Robert Chenye of Taysborough, 1572, document not examined. 2. John Cheney of Hempnall, tailor, made his will July 26, 1632; sons, Edmund, John, Robert, Edmund's wife, Prudence, daughter Anna Lord, grandson Huee Cheney, son of Huee [Hughie?], son-in-law Michael Herde.

March 1, 1618. THIS PARISH OF LAMBOURNE is worthy of note because it is positively known to have been the birth-place of one family of Cheneys who came to America in early times. John Cheyney came to the township of Middleton in the county of Chester, in the colony of Pennsylvania; died there in 1722. Two years afterward his sons John and Thomas went to London and bought of John Bollors a tract of land, 1500 acres, in Thornburg, Pa. In the deed they are described as being "of Upper Lambourne in the parish of Chipping Lamborne, in the co. of Berks." A large and respectable progeny have descended from these brothers. A town named Cheyney has grown up on the family estates. Representatives of the family are found in Philadelphia, among whom are Mr. T. Barton Cheyney, of the Ladies' Home Journal, Charles H. Cheyney, Jr. and Horace L. Cheyney, Esquires. 3. Thomas Chenney of Radley, will Dec. 21, 1610.

Extinct Cornish Families, Part II
by Mr. W.C. Wade
Read December 18th, 1890. Published in Transactions of the Plymouth Institution & Devon and Cornwall Natural History Society, 1890-1891.

In a previous paper I treated on two extinct Cornish families, the members of which had distinguished themselves, in public and private life, for the possession of those qualities which we believe particularly pertain to the character of Englishmen. I referred in passing to many other extinct Cornish families, whose names are scarcely remembered now in the land which they dignified by their upright carriage as citizens, and by their abilities as statesmen, legislators, or as captains, or again as landowners who did their utmost to improve the Commonwealth. Our country could never have attained its present position but for the fact that in Cornwall, as in every county in Britain, such eminent men and such esteemed families have flourished to elevate the social life, and to guide the public affairs of the State. Whatever our views may be of democratic institutions, we must admit the probability that there always will exist in England an aristocracy or rank or of talent on whose capacity for guiding the national life will largely rest the destinies of the nation. It is in the last degree improbable that personal characteristics will ever lose their influence in English public or private life. Shakspere evidently felt that the English of his day were worthy of high admiration when he spoke of --

"This land of such dear souls, this dear dear land,
Dear for its reputation through the earth."
I think that we who enjoy the immense privileges of the enlightened age in which we live, would fail to be just if we seldom or never turned the records of the past, in order to know something of the men who went before us, and who made our country what it is.

Before going very far in studying the histories of the chief families of the most western county two facts become strikingly apparent. The first is, that the Cornish people seldom married out of their own county; and the second fact is, that most of the anceitn Cornish land-owning families are now extinct in name, while many who preserve the name are representatives only through female heiresses. Carew says, "This angle which shutteth them in hath wrought many interchangeable matches with each other's stock, and given beginning to the proverb -- "All Cornishmen are cousins." The geographical situation of Cornwall is scarcely sufficient to account for these constant intermarriages, since Cornishmen travelled a good deal, and were in regular political and commercial contact with other parts of the realm.

I purpose tonight to refer to the family of Carminow, giving some brief references to the chief extinct families with whom they intermarried.

Polwhele asserts that the first member of the Carminow Camily was living in A.D. 889, but a much higher antiquity has been claimed for the family; for Cleaveland, in his History of the House of Courtenay, states that a Carminow led a body of British troops to oppose the landing of Julius Cæsar.

Without doubt the family of Carminow was one of the most ancient in Cornwall, and they are creditied with having resided in Mawgan-in-Menage, near Helston, before the Conquest. Their name is not mentioned in Domesday. The late Mr. J. Jope Rogers, of Penrose, contributed two valuable papers to the transactions of the Royal Institution of Cornwall, relating to the eldest branch of this family, to which I am much indebted. He states that in Mawgan-in-Menage Church, which was entirely rebuilt in 1865, is a transept which has always been called the Carminow aisle. The south wall contained a low-arched recess, which had long sheltered a cross-legged effigy of a knight, carved in freestone, much defaced by time, but bearing on the shield distinct traces of the simple armorial bearings of the Carminows; viz., azure, a bend or.

There is a Hubert de Burgh (d.12 May 1243)earl of Kent who justciar of England (1215-32) and chief governor of Ireland for about a month in 1232. He married three times (according to *Complete peerage* VII:140-142.

In the 3rd edition of the *Handbook of British Chronology*, 1986, reprinted
with corrections 1996 (Cambridge University Press), on p 72, there is:
"Hubert de Burgh (e. of Kent 1227(. Appd. justiciar 15 June 1215."

CP VII:133 says that Hubert's parentage is Unknown. The lengthy footnote
acompanying this remark mentions the Connaught filiation as one of a number
of options. The problem with the Connaught filiation is that Dugdale who
proposed it gave no evidence for it. Vol.IX of *A New History of Ireland* (Oxford, 1984) edited by T Moody et al. follows Dugdale.

A Letter Close of 13 October 1234 addressed to the justiciar of Ireland (Maurice fitz Gerold) refers to Hubert as uncle of Richard de Burgh. Similar sources also confirm that William de Burgh was Richard's father. There is then a high probability that Hubert and William were brothers. [C Ellis *Hubert de Burgh: a study in constancy* (Phoenix House, London, 1952)
192-193; *A New History of Ireland* (Clarendon Press, Oxford, 1984) IX:170
Table 38]. Apart from the fact that Hubert says his mother's name is 'Alice'
(Ellis, 191) and that we now know his place of name (Ellis 188-190), as has
been said above nothing more is known of his ancestry. I amost forgot, there
is some ground for thinking his father's name is 'Walter'.

Clarence Ellis was the author of: Hubert de Burgh, A Study in Contancy,
published in 1952. It has a very complete study on Hubert. Appendix I has "The Ancestry and Birthplace of Hubert de Burgh. His Irish Kinsmen". Hubert and William's family are East Anglian, Norfolk and Suffolk. Ellis discusses the confusion associated with the cross-connection of Robert of Mortain and Hubert and William.

David Douglas in William the Conqueror discusses Harlowen de Burgh,
more usually named de Conteville...See also Loyd: The Origins of Some
Anglo-Norman Families.

Married Robert II 'le Pieux' CAPET between 996 and 997 (Parsons, listserve message.); They had the same great- grandparents. "The circumstances under which Robert and Bertha married are obscure. They obviously knew each other even before Robert repudiated Rozalla-Suzanne, and by marrying the count of Blois' widow, Robert established the same sort of relationship with the powerful Blois-Chartres clan that Hugh Capet had sought to forge between the Capetians and Flanders by marrying Robert to Rozalla-Suzanne, widow of the count of Flanders. But it's unclear exactly how or why Robert took the decision to marry Bertha, knowing (as he must have) that there were serious canonical impediments. One interesting theory is that of Jan Dhondt, "Sept femmes et un trio de rois," *Contributions a l'histoire economique et sociale*, 3 (1964-65), 42- 44, who suggests that Bertha seduced Robert and that they truly married for love. Robert's tenacity in trying to keep Bertha as his wife might well bear out at least the idea that it was a love match, and he finally abandoned her only when it had become clear that she would not bear him an heir." In 1001 Property: Blois When Berthe was forced by the church to leave Robert, with whom she'd lived for 5 yrs, she withdrew to Blois and her son Eudes followed her (Dict Biog Fr.).

About the beginning of the thirteenth century it was divided between two heiresses, who married a Willoughby and a Deincourt. The latter moiety was subsequently inherited by two sisters, who married Reresby of Lincolnshire and Musters of Nottinghamshire; and the share of the Musters was shortly afterwards divided between two sons, from one of whom a portion passed to the Piereponts. The original manor of Ashover was thus divided into four, which became known as New Hall, Old Hall or Reresby's, Muster's, and Pierepont's manors. The Reresbys also acquired Willoughby's share in exchange for their interest in the manor of Pleasley. They were a family of some distinction, and on several occasions filled the office of high sheriff. Newhall, afterwards called Eastwood Hall, remained in the possession of the Reresbys till 1623, when the trustees of Sir Thomas Reresby sold it, together with the advowson of the church, to the Rev. Emanuel Bourne, then rector of Ashover.

In 1086 Hubert held West Lockinge, Berkshire, of Henry de Ferrers. In 1135 a Hubert de Curcon held three knights' fees of the honour of Ferrers, of which his 'nepos' Stephen held two in 1166; and Richard de Curcon held four fees of the same honour in 1135, which were held by Robert his son in 1166. Courson was a fief of the Norman barony of Ferrieres according to an "aveu" of 1604. In 1223 Hubert de Courson was seigneur of Courson. [Origins of Some Anglo-Norman Families]

1st Baron/Lord D'Eyncourt

Camden, in his "Britannia" (vol. 1, p. 559), after referring to this family as having flourished in a continued succession from the coming in of the Normans to the time of Henry VI and then to have failed for want of an heir male of William, 13th Lord d'Eyncourt, adds, "I was the more willing to take notice of this family that I might in some measure answer the desire of Edmund, Baron d'Eyncourt, who was so very earnest to preserve the memory of his name that, having no issue male, he petitioned King Edward II for liberty to make over his manors and arms to whomsoever he pleased; for he imagined that both his name and arms would go to the grave with him and was very solicitous to have them survive and be remembered. Yet this surname, for aught I can find, is now quite extinct and would have been forgotten for ever if the memory of it had not been preserved in books."

Camden does not quite correctly state the license. It is extant and may be found, printed at length, in Ryley's "Plac. Parl." (p. 547). It is dated 23 February 7th Edward II [1314], and enabled Edmund, Baron d'Eyncourt, as will be seen hereafter, to settle his lands upon his grandson William, 2nd son of his eldest son, John d'Eyncourt, in exclusion of Isabel, the female heir, she being the only child of Edmund, eldest son (then deceased) of the said John d'Eyncourt, which Isabel afterwards d. s. p.; and this leads us to trace the family of d'Eyncourt, who were formerly barons by tenure until summoned to parliament by writ, 22nd Edward I [1294].

Walter de Ayncourt, de Eyncourt, or d'Eyncourt, a noble Norman, one of the distinguished companions in arms of the Conqueror, was cousin to Remigius, bishop of Lincoln, who built the cathedral there, and obtained as his share of the spoil, sixty-seven lordships in several counties, of which many were in Lincolnshire, where Blankney was his chief seat, and the head of his feudal barony. By his wife, Matilda, he had two sons, William and Ralph. William, probably the eldest, while receiving his education in the Court of King William Rufus, d. there, as appears by an inscription on a plate of lead, found in the churchyard near the west door of Lincoln Cathedral, before Dugdale published his baronage, which contains an engraving of the plate, still preserved in the library of that church. From this inscription it seems he was descended from the royal family, probably through his mother. The inscription runs as follows: -- "Hic jacet Wilhelmus filius Walteri Aiencuriensis, consanguinei Remigii Episcopi Lincolnensis, qui hanc ecclesiam fecit -- Prœfatus Wilhelmus, regid stirpe progenitus, dum in curia Wilhelmi filii magni Regis Wilhelmi qui Angliam conquisivit aleretur III. Kalend. Novemb. obiit." [Sir Bernard Burke, Dormant, Abeyant, Forfeited and Extinct Peerages, Burke's Peerage, Ltd., London, England, 1883, p. 170, d'Eyncourt, Barons d'Eyncourt]

Heir to his father and aged 40 year on the latter's death. On 20th June 1259, as "Ralph, son of Ralph de Kameys", he did homage to the King as a Baron, and on giving sufficient security for payment of the usual relief for all lands and tenements which the said Ralph had held in Norfolk "ut de feodo" (i.e. Flockthorpe Manor held as a Barony), received livery of his late father's lands. By his marriage he acquired six Knight's fees in Northants, comprising Torpel Manor, (20-held in chief "per baroniam," with lands in Upton (20) with the advowson of Ufford Church (20), in Lolham adjoining Ufford, and in Helpeston, also Pilketon (Pilton) Manor and advowson (21), Glapthorne and Cotterstoke Manors (21) with the advowson of Piriho Priory (21), and probably further lands in Tansour for which he paid annually 20s to Sir John Giffard and to the Prior of Piriho apiece. He also acquired by marriage, Hengeston (Hinxton) (22) half a Knight's fee held in chief "per baroniam": certain lands in Pampesworth (22a) also held in chief; lands in Brune, and Orwell Manor (23), one Knight's fee held of the Earl of Winchester - all in Cambridgeshire: also lands in Keston, Hunts, and certain lands in Lincolnshire. In Torpel Manor were 5 virgates of arable land in demesne, each vergate containing 20 acres, 40 acres in meadow, with a wood and water mill, and in villenage 3.5 vergates; in Pilton there were in demesne 5 virgates, each virgate containing 24 acres, an assortment of 24 acres, 6 virgates in villenage, a free fishery, with cottager's rents of 14s 4d yearly value, and 3s yearly rents of free tenants. Held a quarter of a Knight's fee in chief in Hardingham, adjoining Flockthorpe, and also lands in Mouton, Norfolk, where Hy. Freman and his parcenors held from him one third part of a Knight's fee of the Honor of Huntingdon (of the portion of Henry de Hastings) which is stated in Lipscomb's History of Buckinghamshire to have been his father's in 1233. In Hants he held lands in Elynges and Lasham with the advowson of the latter church, all which he probably inherited from his father with Hambledon. He appears to have possess lands in that county by John, son of Hubert de Burgh. He also appears to have had lands in Nassington (24), Northants, since it is stated in the Hundred Rolls that in 1275 a jury found that "Ralph de Kemeys" had 11 years previous "enclosed a certain wood in Nassington called Muchhawe".In 1253, "Ralph de Cameys junior" was granted by the King free warren in all the lands he then held in the counties of Northants, Lincoln, Cambridge, and Berks, and also the right of holding Markets and fairs in Orwell Manor; it is therefore not improbable that he resided at Orwell during his father's lifetime. Sold his Manor of Denchesworth to Adam Fettiplace, who in 1245 was Mayor of Oxford: a copy of his grant of these lands is to be seen in the Bodleian Library, Oxford (Ashmoleian M.S.S., and see Appendix); appears to have sold his lands in Lincolnshire at an early date; sold 4.25 virgates "in bondis" and a further 15 acres of land in Keston to Jomes Lovel. In 1255, he and his wife sold their lands in Brunne to Gilbert Peche, and in 1257 they levied a fine with Simon de Leudon upon a mill and 11 acres of meadow in Lolham to their own use, they giving to Simon their suit and service every three weeks, which was their due for their tenement in Helpeston. Assessed to pay 2 marks towards the Aid for marrying the King's sister to the Roman Emperor on Flockthorpe Manor, held in chief by serjeanty as one Knight's fee; also similarly assessed for one fee in Essex (i.e. in Toppesfield), held of the Honor of Mandeville. Stated in the Hundred Rolls to have had in 1276 rights of gallows, of assay of bread and ale, and view of frank pledge in Stukeley Magna Manor, in which Manor moreover he did not permit the King's bailiffs to execute their writs. It is also related in these Rolls that he had rights of assay of bread and ale and view of frank pledge in Ditton Cameys (Wood Ditton) wherein also he had given up the customary payment of 2s a year to the Sheriffs Court; also rights of gallows and of assay of bread and ale in Burwell Manor and in Henxton; rights of assay of bread and ale in his lands in Pampesworth, but subject to the correction of the Crown officers, which limitation he had evaded for some ten years previous; similarly it is stated that in Essex, he had for 12 years prior to 1274 evaded the service due by him in Toppesfield twice a year at the Sheriff's Court. In 1254 Ralph de Cameys was at Bordeaux with the King, where he witnessed a Royal grant of free warren to Maurice de Birmingham. About this time he was fined for holding a tournament in Cambridge contrary to the command of the King, who had in 1245 forbidden any to be holden there or within five miles of that town. 1259 witnessed a charter of Sir Richard de St. Denys granting lands in Essex. 1264 obtained a charter to have a weekly market on Thursdays in Torpel Manor and also a yearly fair on the eve, festival and morrow of St. Giles' feast. Presented his cousin Nicholas de Cameys (see Cameys of Great Stukeley) to the Church of St. Mary's, Pilton. 1268 presented to the Church of Torpel (i.e. Ufford Church) and the same year to that of Tansor. In 1272, he was sued by Warinton de Barinton for pasturing in Barton, which adjoined Orwell. 1275 summoned by the King's Exchequer to pay a debt which he owed to on Haginus, a Jew of London, since the King had assigned the said debt to Odinus le Gask, a citizen of Genoa, in payment of a Crown debt due to the latter. In 1260 summoned to an assembly near Shrewsbury at the Feast of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin, with horse and arms to give the service due to the King in an expedition against Llewelyn, Prince of Wales. Mentioned as one of the leading Barons confederate with Simon de Montfort, Earl of Leicester, in rebellion against Henry III, and in 1265 was declared a rebel by the King; after the Baron's victory at Lewes he was summoned by the Earl of Leicester to London on 14th December 1264 as one of the council of State by whom the realm was governed. In 1267 he received the King's pardon.At a general proffer of Knight's service taken in 1276 for the King at Tweedmouth, Ralph de Cameys offered the service of one Knight for his lands in Norfolk, to be made by Richard de Macy and John Tylnercy with two equipped horses. In a Roll of Arms of the reign of Henry III and Edward I is given "d'Camais-or, on a chief gules three plates". Died prior to 12th March 1277 in which year by inquisiton post mortem, he was found to have died seised of Hardington Manor (i.e. Flockthorpe), Norfolk, wherein he was found by juries to have possessed a messuage (i.e. in demesne) of 280 acres of arable land, 24 acres of meadow, 24 acres of alder and 50 acres of wood: Torpell Manor, with lands in Upton, Cotterstoke, Glapthorne, Pilketon and Tannesour, Northants: Stiveclay Manor, Hunts: Hengeston Manor, Orwell Manor and advowson, Woodacton (Wood Ditton) and Borewell Manors, Cambridge: and Wodington (Wotton) Manor, held of the Honor of Gloucester, Surrey. Married Ascelina, daughter and heiress of Roger de Torpel of Torpel, Northants, by his wife Mabel; the latter had Cotterstoke in dower, to the church of which she presented in 1258.

A minor at his father's death, as already stated; in the scutage levied by King John in 1201 and finally collected by 1212, his guardian David, Earl of Huntingdon is first mentioned as having exemption from scutage on one fee in Norfolk (i.e. Flockthorpe) and subsequently the name of Ralph de Cameis is substituted. On coming of age, he paid the King a relief, as a Baron, and received livery of his lands in Essex, Norfolk, Suffolk, Cambridge, Hunts, and Northants; in 1211 he still owed 10 marks for his lands in Essex. Inherited from his father, Flockthorpe Manor with a quarter of a Knight's fee in Hardingham and the advowson of the latter, Norfolk, certain lands in Suffolk, a Manor in Toppesfield Lete, Essex, held of the Honor of Clare, the Manor of Wood Ditton, Cambridge, held in chief, Great Stukeley Manor, Hunts, and half a Knight's fee in Tansor, Northants, all previously referred to; from his mother he inherited Wotton Manor, Surrey, and North Denchworth Manor, Berks, both as aforesaid. He appears to have acquired by his wife Burwell Manor (16) Cambridge, one Knight's fee held of the Honor of Richmond: certain further lands in the Lete of Toppesfield, Essex, held as one Knight's fee of the Honor of Mandeville: lands in Tisted and Hambledon, Hants, (17) and lands in Eling and Lasham, (18) also in the last named county.In 1208 he levied a fine on his lands in Cambridge; mentioned in 1211 as holding one Knight's fee of the King in chief in Flockthorpe, Norfolk. In 1212, he claimed the right of presentation to Tansor Church, stating that Roger, Earl of Clare had granted this advowson with the lands he held in Tansor to Eobert Fitz Humphrey, his forefather. It would appear that he only had the alternate right of presentation and therefore his claim on this occasion was disallowed; but twelve years later, in 1224, he presented the living. Claimed one Knight's fee in Berton and Eastmore in Baron Burial Manor, Norfolk, from Ralph de Roucester, of which he stated Ralph Wallensis, uncle of Stephen his father, was seised in the reign of Henry II. He farmed from the Crown at one time the Manor of Hengham, Norfolk, the payment for which was £25. 7s. 6d. In 1210 was with the Royal Army in Ireland and is mentioned as receiving 3 and 4 marks at the camp at Odiham, Hants, and at Dublin, respectively, on account of disbursements; in 1212 assessed to pay 20s scutage for the war against Scotland on one fee held in Norfolk, but being granted exemption by writ he received free quittance accordingly. In 1216, he joined the forces of the Barons, combined against the King John, consequently on 25th March of that year the King granted to Imbert de Hereford all his land in Norfolk, Suffolk, Northants, Hunts, Cambridge and Essex. It seems probable however, that he never lost actual possession of his lands, as King John died shortly afterwards, and Ralph hastened to pay homage to Henry III, who by writs dated 6th September and 27th October 1217 restored his lands to him. On February 19th, 1221, he was commanded to take scutage from the Archbishop of York for all the latter's lands in his Baillia, from which it may be presumed that he was then Sheriff of certain counties. From 1242 to 1246 as "Ralph de Keymes", he appears a Sheriff of Counties Surrey and Sussex. April 20th, 1230, granted letters of protection when embarking with many other nobles from Portsmouth on the King's service abroad; in 1242, paid 10 marks as voluntary scutage for his lands in Essex, towards the fine from those Knights who did not go with the King to Gascony; 12th May 1244, the Sheriff of Huntingdon was commanded to distrain him to do homage to John de Bailliol for a quarter of a Knight's fee in that county (i.e. Stukeley Magna Manor), assigned by the King to the said John and Devorguilla his wife as part of her share of the heritage of John, Earl of Chester and Huntingdon. In 1246, granted free quittance from scutage on Flockthorpe for the army against Wales and also for scutage on half a fee in Cambridge. Prior to 1253, he appears to have granted Denchworth Manor, aforesaid to his son. In 1253-4 as "Ralph de Cameys Senior", he was granted free warren in all his lands he then held in Norfolk, Suffolk, Cambridge and Essex; and in the latter year was assessed to pay 20s for half a fee in Cambridge (i.e. Wood Ditton), both held in chief, towards the Aid on the King's son coming of age; the year following, he levied fines on his lands in Ditton Cammays (Wood Ditton), Kertling and Cheveley, Cambridge.In 1256, he was summoned "with horse and arms" to the Great Council to be held in London on the Morrow of the Apostles Simon and Jude; and in 1258 was summoned to attend the King at Chester on Monday preceding the Feast of St. John Baptist, with horse and arms to do service against the Welsh.In a Roll of Arms of the reign of Henry III and dated as between 1240-45, the armorial bearings of Ralph de Cameys are give as "d'or ung cheif de goules a trois torteux d'argent". Died prior to 1259 in which year by inquisitions post mortem, he was found to have died seised of Flockthorpe Manor, including 280 acres of land in demesne and 34 in meadow, with the advowson of the Church (i.e. Hardingham Church) and "Conteshall maner' extent" (19), all in Norfolk: Wodeton Manor, Surrey: Stivecley Magna Manor, Hunts: two Knight's fees in Essex: Ditton and Burwell Manors, Cambridge, and lands in Tisted and Hambledon, Hampshire.

Due to his father’s long reign, he was probably more than middle aged when he entered office. He seems not to have had a male heir and was succeeded by his half sister (and most likely wife) Sobeknefru. Few of his monuments have survived, and little is known about the events during his reign.
According to historian Manetho he ruled for only 8 years.
The Royal Canon of Turin gives him 9 years and 4 months.
This short reign is also confirmed by a few contemporary sources and indicate that he was already an elderly man when he became pharaoh.

Sobeknefru was a queen of Amenemhet IV who possibly also was her brother and on his death she became pharaoh.
There are very few records from her short reign that have survived but some damaged statues have been found in the delta and she extended the so called Labyrinth of king Amenemhet III by his pyramid at Hawara in the Faiyum. This pharaoh might also have been her father.
She had a very brief reign of about four years and can possibly be the builder of a pyramid at Masghuna where also her husband may rest in a similar monument.
Picture left: the queen's throne name Sobek-ka-re within a cartouche and meaning - "Sobek is the Soul of Re".

Sobeknefru (sometimes also Neferusobek) was most likely a daughter of Amenemhet III and her name (within a cartouche right) means "Beautiful of the god Sobek". She is mentioned in Manetho's text, in the Karnak and Sakkara lists but not noted in the canon from Abydos. She was probably the sister or half sister to her husband Amenemhet IV whose title and occupation she took over shortly after his death.
Often her name appears with the addition Shedty that can be an indication that she was involved in the creation of a religious centre in Fayum called Shedet.
This cult praised the crocodile god Sobek and it's possible, though not confirmed, that the priests of this old local deity were the ones who backed her up as a national leader though their power (and hers) obviously was limited. This would also explain her break of tradition by taking a crocodile name as a pharaoh for the first time.

Sobeknefru reconstructed

The economic importance of Fayum had been increased since much land for cultivation had been reclaimed from the marshes during the reigns of several kings.
Physical evidence from her reign is scant but inscriptions at the second cataract, a cylinder seal with her names and texts associating her with her father, have survived. She completed her fathers mortuary temple where her name appears many times (and that of Amenemhat IV - never).
An apparent remain are three fragmentary life-size basalt statues of her found at the site Tell el Dab'a (former Avaris) in the eastern delta. One of them is shown in the picture left with a fictive addition giving an impression of what it once might have looked like. Note that the statue fragment has breasts and does not have a false beard and thus once clearly showed Sobeknefru as a real female pharaoh.
Her tomb has not been found, but there is a hardly begun pyramid at Mazghuna North that might be a remnant of hers.
If this is the case she seems to have left the Fayum area for the traditional administrative and religious centres up north like Memphis and Heliopolis. Where she actually had her residence is not known.
So far (year 2002) no depiction of her has appeared in paintings or 3D form. A possible exception is a small statue from the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York mentioned in an article edited by C.J. Eyre published in: Orientalia Lovaniensia Analecta, nr. 82 (p 227-236). It is an intact depiction of a female pharaoh with a unusual crown on her head and wearing a Hebsed cloak. The assumption that it is of her is made purely on stylistic grounds.
Her reign concluded the 12th dynasty, a prosperous period in Egyptian history.
She was one of very few women (probably one of two in 3000 years) to achieve the rank of pharaoh over Egypt.

Priest of Ra

Amenemhet III was the son of Senwosret III and the last great ruler of the Middle Kingdom.
His first queen was probably Aat who was buried inside his own pyramid at Dahshur, the first of its kind.
It's quite possible, but not proved, that he was father of the two regents to be - Amenemhet IV and queen Sobeknefru. He followed his father's policy and took great interest in the agricultural developments in the Faiyum where new land for cultivating constantly was gained and irrigated by an expanding system.
In over forty years he worked the mines at Sinai and continued to develop the central administration.

Senwosret III is probably the best attested pharaoh from the Middle Kingdom and seen in many statues.
They show a man with an arrogant look, broad cheek bones, dropping down corners of the mouth and a total impression of "world-weariness". It can also be interpreted as showing his seriousness regarding his high office. Historian Manetho describes him as a great warrior and also tells that he was a tall man reaching two metres above the ground.
We know that he pushed the Egyptian border all the way down to the third cataract at Semna where he built the southernmost of many fortresses.

Senwosret II had a reign that's disputable in length and the opinions vary from five years to almost twenty. Nevertheless his reign is considered to have been peaceful and no military actions are recorded during his time in office, (though some probably took place).
In the picture left he is seen with the typical broad cheekbones that was running in his family together with the old fashion way of making the ears standing out and large. For some reason he left the region around Lisht and Dahshur and built his pyramid 50 km to the south at Lahun close to the Faiyum basin, where he continued large irrigation projects begun by his father.

Amenemhet II's reign is well attested for since of a number of important documents from achieves have been found. His only military action was against Nubia and instead he dealt with the country's internal affairs and especially its governors who were the king's representatives and from time to time not so obedient. They could be a threat to the central power and even set up armies of their own. Amenemhet saw that this did not go too far.
He supervised the foreign affaires in a peaceful way with treaties of trade rather than declarations of war with both Mesopotamia and the Mediterranean area. Picture bottom left: his throne name within a cartouche and meaning - "Golden are the Souls of Re".

The birth name Senwosret, worn by four king of the 12th dynasty, means "Man (son) of Goddess Wosret".
Senwosret I came to power in a swift way when his father king Amenemhet was murdered in a palace plot. When this happened he was probably in his mid twenties.
The politics seems not to have been changed and he secured the country like his father by guarding the south border with fortresses and watching over the mobile Libyan tribes in the north-west. Expeditions brought back valuable minerals and for the first time the oases in the western desert were explored.

He was probably not a member of the royal family. During his first year in office he stabilised the country and silenced opponents in the North.
He started the state-cult of Amon and adopted his name in his personal nomen. He took military actions against nomads in southern Palestine and after twenty years in office he appointed his (probably oldest) son named Senwosret to become his co-regent.
Amenemhet chose the location Lisht close to the new capital for his tomb and built a small pyramid where also his closest members of his family were buried.

The fifth ruler of the 11th Dynasty was king Mentuhotep II the second (and probably oldest surviving) son of Montuhotep I and his queen Tem. His throne name was Sankhkare (picture below left) and he was probably a mature man when he entered office after the long reign of his father. Despite his short reign of a dozen years he has left remains telling about his deeds.
He seems to have been engaged in arts and buildings. Monuments of his are known from Abydos, Elkab, Armant, el-Tod, Elephantine and western Thebes. He strengthened the borders in the north against intruders from Asia and the Middle East and developed the Red Sea region by continuing quarrying projects along the connecting path at Wadi Hammamat.

When Mentuhotep II took over from his father he had a prosperous country to rule. The inner stability was solid and he could continue is fathers monuments and send an expedition of 3.000 men to the southern land Punt, going the path starting at Dendera through the mountains to the Red Sea. At western Thebes he erected a small temple to the god Horus on the ground where a sanctuary from the first dynasty once had stood. In its quite remote location it wasn't found until 1904. The complex is made of mud brick and had once an entry with pylons and surrounding walls. He began building his tomb near his father's gigantic monument at Deir el Bahri, but it was unfinished when he died and consists of a causeway and a sloping passageway stopping a bit into the rock. Graffiti inscriptions in the vicinity indicates that his last resting place still might be nearby.

Considering the rather short time king Mentuhotep II had on the throne (twelve years) he must have been a very ambitious ruler with monuments built all over the country. Some of them were probably initiated by his predecessor and their artful decorations were usually of high artistic quality, an interest that he obviously adopted from his father.
In one of the few statues left of him (a head shown through his name at menu left) he is depicted (if it's a portrait) with a rather broad face and wearing the traditional headdress of the pharaoh - the nemes, a striped cloth which was worn exclusively by kings.

Mentuhotep I was the son of Antef III and a minor consort named Iah. He was one of the most prominent pharaohs in Egyptian history and a very able state-builder. According to the Royal Canon of Turin he reigned for 51 years. When he became pharaoh Thebes controlled the territory from Aswan in the south up to the Abydos area. After 15 years of combat with the kings of Herakleopolis he could slowly begin moving northward an eventually succeeded in concurring the north and united the country. He then started a consolidation for about 20 years up to his death, and made Egypt prosperous again.
He built a magnificent new style mortuary temple at Deir-el-Bahri in Western Thebes with a rock cut tomb for himself. The statue left was found at that location.

Mentuhotep I is one of the most outstanding rulers in Egyptian history. His throne name was Nebhetepre (seen in the cartouche right). He was lucky to have a long reign of about fifty years and the first decade is little known about. His fourteenth years on the throne has been referred to as "the year of the crime of Thinis", an indication that the opponents from the north was reaching that far south in the civil that had been going on for 85 years pushing the border between Thebes and Herakleopolis in the north up and down the Nile valley. Mentuhotep stroke back and manage to reach up to Asyut in middle Egypt. After a little more than 30 years on the throne he had the pleasure to se the enemies' capital concurred and he was the supreme pharaoh from Nubia to the Mediterranean Sea and the first king from Thebes who could rightfully call himself "King of the Two Countries".

Even during the re-conquest of Egypt, Mentuhotep had built or restored several monuments in Upper Egypt like those of Dendera, Abydos, el Kab and Elephantine in Aswan. He paid special homage to Thebes's war-god Mentu, who had helped him to accomplish his task, by adopting his name and build temples to him at Medamud, Armant and Tod.

Relief of the king found
in his mortuary temple.
Overshadowing all other monuments was his own great mortuary temple at Deir el Bahri in Western Thebes. It was built against the mountain and designed in two terraces with 280 solid stone columns supporting parts of the construction and as an eye catching view. This feature was taken from the tombs of his three predecessors - the Antefs.
On top was erected a symbolic burial mound of massive stone, probably as a pyramid or a mastaba. The real tomb with the king's burial chamber was cut into the rock behind and underneath the temple in a way that would be the prototype for royal tombs in the future.
At the ground level sycamore trees were planted on both sides of the entrance stairway which to a great extent still is standing today.
Unfortunately we don't know the name of the architect of this complex, but he surely was a man of fantasy and imagination in designing buildings. It's quite possible that Mentuhotep himself was partly responsible, as the genius he was in organising official works and administrating the country.

Antef III (Nakhtnebtepnefer) was the third king of the 11th Dynasty. He ruled from Thebes about eight years and though he is not present by name in the Royal Canon of Turin there is a row with an eight year-figure that fits his position in the line of kings. He kept all the regions that his predecessors left for him to rule and defended the Asyut region in middle Egypt from assaults from the northern rulers in Herkleopolis.
His name has been found inscribed in the mountains of Silsileh. One of his consorts was named Aoh (or Iah) and was the mother to his heir and oldest(?) son, the future Montuhotep I, who married one of his half sisters - Neferu. His name Antef is shown in hieroglyphs left (the four signs at the bottom). The duck and the sun disc is the title "Son of Re".

Antef III was the third king of the 11th Dynasty and very little is known about what happened in the country during his short reign of eight years.
His long Horus name Nakht-neb-tep-nefer (shown within a serek at picture right) has the humble meaning: "Beautiful and Strong Champion".
The Royal canon of Turin gives him a reign of at least eight years, though his name is lacking but fragment of a title is visible at the row.
He was the father of Mentuhotep I, who would reunite Egypt. It seems that during his reign a sort of status quo was at hand in the country, because he didn't expand nor lose any territory to his northern enemies in the civil war, the kings of the 9-10 dynasties from Herakleopolis. He was probably buried in a narrow rock-tomb at Western Thebes next to Antef II, 2 km east of Deir el-Bahri, the site where his successor (son or nephew?) built himself a famous mortuary complex (see below). No proof have been found at the site to identify the tomb as his and the only real archaeological evidence from him, is a door jamb with his name within a royal cartouche found at Abydos.
~1343 - 1400 Geoffrey Chaucer 57 57 MISC: 1st English Poet, and his greatest work is the Canterbury Tales of worldwide fame. It is thought that CHAUCER was sent for his early schooling to St. Paul's Almonry. From there he went on to be a page in the houselhold of the Countess of Ulster, later Duchess of Clarence, wife of Lionel, the third son of EDWARD III. The first mention of GEOFFREY CHAUCER'S existence is in her household accounts for 1357. She had bought him a short cloak, a pair of shoes and some parti-colored red and black breeches. In 1359 CHAUCER was sent abroad, a soldier in the egg, on one of those intermittent forays into France that made up so large a part of the Hundred Years' War. He was taken prisoner near Rheims and ransomed in the following year; the King himself contributed towards his ransom. Well trained and intelligent pages did not grow on every bush. Meanwhile he was promoted as a courtier. In 1367 he was attending on the King himself and was referred to as "Dilectus Valettus noster"...our dearly beloved Valet. It was towards that year the CHAUCER married. His bride was Philippa de ROET, a lady in attendance on the Queen. EDWARD III soon began to employ his beloved valet on important missions abroad. The details of most of these are not known, but appear to have been of a civilian and commercial nature, dealing with trade relations. Meanwhile
CHAUCER was gratifying and extending his passion for books. He was a prodigious reader and had the art of restoring what he had read in an almost faultless memory. He was rising by steady promotion in what we should now call the Civil Service, as a courtier. But in Dec. 1386 he was suddenly deprived of all his offices. JOHN of Gaunt had left England on a military expedition to Spain and was replaced as an influence on young King RICHARD II by the Duke of Gloucester. Gloucester had never been a patron of the poet, and filled his posts with his own supporters. We may be grateful to him for this, because he set Chaucer at leisure thereby.
It is almost certain that the poet then began to set in order and compose "The Canterbury Tales." In 1389 JOHN of Gaunt returned and Chaucer was restored to favor and office. He died on the twenty-fifth of October 1400 and was buried in Westminister Abbey. A fine tomb, erected by an admirer in the fifteenth century, marks his grave and was the first of those that are gathered into what we now know as the Poets' Corner. The Father of English Poetry lies in this family vault.

Antef II (Wahankh) was the second king of the 11th Dynasty. He was a younger brother of pharaoh Antef I.
His opponents from Herakleopolis in the north campaigned all the way down to the province of Abydos before he could manage stop them and drive them back. He then seems to have decided not to be involved in a constant battle and instead developed a peaceful trade. Considering Antef's long reign of almost half a century, he obviously had to deal wit several kings from the north where the change of rulers was constant and fast.
On a stela from his tomb (upper right) he is seen offering.
His cartouche left makes his name Antef by the five lower signs. The duck and the sun disc is the title: "Son of Re".

Antef II was the second king of the 11th dynasty and his Horus name Wah-ankh (seen within the serek right) means "Strong in life".
His reign was, according to the Turin king list, 49 years long. The rulers of the 9/10th dynasties tried to take back the territory they had lost previously and moved south to retaliate. Antef II stroke back and manage to drive the enemies north and extended his territory by capturing the area far north of Abydos and break through to the first cataract at Aswan in the south, the traditional border to the south.

After his earthly deeds he was buried in a rock-tomb next to his predecessor's at Western Thebes.
In his mortuary chapel was found a magnificent limestone stela with reliefs of the king's favourite dogs (see picture left). Standing by their master the pharaoh. They can be identified by their Libyan names with the Egyptian translation at the side except for the middle one.
From top they are: 1) BEHEKAY (Egyptian Mahedj) meaning gazelle. 2) Is ABAQER (no translation) and meaning greyhound. 3) PEHETEZ (Egyptian Kemu) as "Blackie", the same word root as in Kemet ("the black land") which was the Egyptians' name of their country. These dogs are probably the oldest in world history whose names are known.

Pepi II was a younger brother to king Merenre and the last significant ruler of the 6th Dynasty.
By tradition his reign was 94 years (some scholars believe 64), the longest in Egyptian history. He seems to have ascended the throne at the age of about six.
No depictions of any kind of him are known despite his long reign, but a stone head found in a shrine at Koptos in Upper Egypt (picture left) might be from a statue of him.
Like his father his birth name was Pepi ( picture left bottom) and his throne name was the common Neferkare. Most of the rulers and important people in Egypt in the last days of dynasty 6 are believed to be descendants of Pepi II.

King Pepi II (throne name in cartouche right) continued foreign relations from his predecessors and maintained diplomatic and commercial relations with Byblos in Syria. Campaigns of "pacification" went into Nubia and he also continued the long established mining practices in the Sinai and elsewhere.
He had a number of queens, most of them related to him, and one of his sons, Merenre II, who may have succeeded him, perhaps for only one year.
His pyramid and mortuary complex was built at South Sakkara and the pyramid's name was "The Established and Living Pyramid" (picture below left).
It was built and decorated in a much poorer manner then his predecessors and power and wealth of high officials spread all over Egypt dragging control away from the capital Memphis. Administration of the country became difficult and he appointed one vizier each for Upper Egypt and Lower Egypt to regain control, but in vain.

    
Pyramid complex of Pepi II and a staute possibly of him.


Except for finds at his burial ground the mayor remains of Pepy II are:
1)  A statuette made of calcite with the young king sitting on his mother's lap.
2)  A stone head found in a shrine at Koptos can possibly be a depiction of him.
3)  A big (58 cm) brown stone relief fragment with his name, found at Koptos.
4)  Five written decrees found at Giza, Abydos, Koptos (3) plus another (now
      in the Egyptian Museum in Cairo) recording one of his many Sed festivals.
5)  Inscription found in the mortuary temple of Ipwet II, Merenre I's daughter.
6)  The king mentioned in tombs of Djau at Abydos and Ibi at Deir el-Gabrawi.
7)  Smaller items like - a calcite vessel, faience plaques, an ivory headrest with
      his name and titles written on it and various objects found at Byblos in Syria.
8)  A small shrine at Abydos may have been a Ka-chapel built during his reign.

During his exceptionally long reign (94 years according to Manetho and 64 by some scholars) foreign relations such as military expeditions into Nubia, drained the state treasury and some foreign relations were even broken off. The central administration for taxation was ignored by governors around the country and towards the end of his reign, the government of Egypt simply collapsed.

Pepi I's throne name was Nefersahor (cartouche bottom left) that later was changed into Mery-re. He appears to have ruled for 42-52 because he had a 21st and a 25th cattle count (held every two years). He had several wives and many children and the sons Merenre and Pepi II rule through the 6th Dynasty. He made a number of trading and mining expeditions and started several building projects throughout the country. At least four statues of him have survived and one (picture left) shows him offering on his bended knees. He maintained all relations with Byblos and Ebla in the Middle East and many inscriptions from his reign are known.

One of the names of Pepi I was "The Ka (soul) of Re is powerful" (picture left) and reflects back on the traditional solar cult from Heliopolis that was slowly loosing its grip as the most powerful manifestation of the Egyptian diverted religion.
When he ascend the throne he had the name of his predecessor king Userkare removed wherever possible, indicating a feud in the royal family.
Many building projects of his are known from Bubastis in the delta to Aswan in the south, but little of it remains. Some of it was possibly incorporated into later projects made by other rulers, but he did leave behind many inscriptions from his time telling about his deeds during his three decade reign.
He organised expeditions to Sinai and Nubia and has left rock carving in Wadi Hammamat, a 120 km long path between the Nile valley and the Red Sea.
One of the most remarkable finds in Egyptian history was made in Hierakonpolis in Upper Egypt. It was a large copper statue of Pepi I and his little son Merenre.
He built his pyramid complex at south Sakkara four kilometres south of Djoser's complex and a couple of hundred metres from the pyramid of fifth dynasty king Djedkare Isesi. During the 19th dynasty it was restored and text from this occasion tell that it was in good condition at that time.

The pyramid complex of Pepi I as seen from northeast. The entrance to the pyramid was by the mini chapel and the mortuary temple had no pylons flanking its entrance.

When early Egyptologists entered the subterranean rooms from the north side entrance in the late 1800s, they found pyramid texts incised in the walls, spreading light over the builder of the monument and more. The valley temple and causeway are still to be and investigated, but the remains of them seem to be very few. The mortuary complex was almost a duplicate of Teti's and the pyramid was of six dynasty standard size: a 79 m square with a height of 53.
It also had a name of its own: "The Established and Beautiful Pyramid".

Today this beauty is a twelve-meter high ruin.

The break between dynasties five and six is a little obscure and king Teti seems to have settled some accession problems when he became pharaoh.
He probably reached this position by marrying a daughter of king Unas. She is buried in a pyramid near his own at Sakkara. The Turin Canon gives him a reign of less than a year, which is unlikely. Manetho says 30-32, which seems to long. He has left records about his sixth "census" (cattle count) that took place every two years and 12-25 years can be likely.
Picture left shows his name within a cartouche and sometimes it was added inside with a duck and the sun disc, giving the meaning: "Teti - Son of Re".

Teti's Horus name, Seheteptawy, (picture right) means "He who pacifies the Two Lands". Most of the court officials from king Unas were still in power during his reign and through them some of his deeds are known
We know that he started quarry work in Upper Egypt, and that he maintained commercial and diplomatic relations with the trade centre of Byblos in Syria, valuable for import of timber. He also may have initiated expeditions like his predecessors, towards the land Punt and Nubia. As for the latter he is attested for as far south as the town of Tomas. At a temple at Abydos we can read of his generous exempting from taxes, probably after a bad season of agriculture
There is only one statue found of him, found by his tomb. He is portrayed as a middle aged man with fleshy cheeks and big piercing eyes.

The pyramid complex of Teti was built in a traditional manner. The mortuary temple had no pylons and was roofed all over, except for the open big pillar hall in the centre (light-blue).

His pyramid was built at south Sakkara a couple of hundred meter northeast of Djoser's complex. It contains pyramid texts, written on the limestone-covered walls of the burial- and antechambers. This tradition was begun by his predecessor and followed by most pyramid builders after him. When the burial chamber was entered an unfinished decorated sarcophagus (now gone) was found and an arm and shoulder of a mummy, presumed to be the king's, was found on the floor.
The valley temple and causeway are located to the southeast and have not been properly investigated. Outside the main complex are small pyramids of his consorts and tombs of his viziers Mereruka and Kagemni known for their well-preserved tombs with many fancy reliefs.
The modern Egyptians call Teti's monument "The Prison Pyramid" and the old name in hieroglyphs was:
the meaning is: "The Pyramid which is Enduring of Places". The places are the green thrones and the pillar was the common symbol of stability and continuity, two qualities the old Egyptians were keen on maintaining .

# Event: Reign from 2528 BC to 2519

The successor of Kheops was his son Djedefre who had a short time on the throne. Little is known about him and he placed his tomb 8 km north of Giza at Abu Roash. There he started to build some kind of pyramid in a obviously older style of foundation with an open trench instead of a tunnel into the bedrock. At the site was found a head of the king (left) and its backside might indicate a lying body - perhaps the first sphinx.
Blocks from a red granite sarcophagus (rounded) were also found here. His name occurs once in a very similar structure at Zawiyet-el-Aryan 5 km south of Giza, that also had a deep shaft and a rounded red sarcophagus made of granite.
These findings might indicate that these two unfinished monuments were made in a period very close in time.

Khufu is famous by under his Greek name - Kheops.
His name is a short form of Khnum-khuf meaning "Khnum is his protection". His is the builder of the biggest monument in history - his pyramid at Giza. Already in antique times it was considered to be one of the seventh wonders of the world. Ironically the only portrait of this great constructor is a little ivory statuette 7,5 cm in height (see picture left), found at Abydos in Upper Egypt. The king seems wears the crown of Lower Egypt and has a flail in his right hand.
Greek historian Herodotos tells that Kheops composed the Sacred Books, maybe a type of document that in later times was called  The book of the Dead.
This old piece of literature has not survived in any form. His reign is likely to have been longer than the given 24 years.

Snofru is the greatest builder in Egyptian history and he erected at least two big pyramids.
He made huge dams for storing water for irrigation. The Palermo Stone mentions three cattle counts (6-8) during his reign that today (year 2002) is estimated to around 54 years. His expeditions to Lebanon brought home cedar wood for the building of ships and palaces and campaigns into Nubia resulted in large quantities of slaves and livestock (possibly bragging).
He is believed to be the founder of the big fortress at Buhen near the 2nd cataract (since 1968 at the bottom of Lake Nasser). His life-size statue in the Egyptian Museum (shown in picture left with the right part of the torso reconstructed) is the only (?) known of him.

# NSFX: (3rd Dynasty - abt 2637-13 BC)

Huni was the last ruler of the third dynasty. He made a drastic change in tradition by moving the royal cemetery to Meidum 50 km south of Sakkara. There he is believed to have started the pyramid, though there is no evidence at all on the location that confirms this accepted assumption. His son Snofru finished the work of the step pyramid and added two more steps and finally made sides that were smooth and even, making it a "true" pyramid.
There is no evidence that the court and administration left the capital Memphis, and the tombs at Meidum mostly belong to civil servant of his son Snofru. The picture left shows his name as it appears on later lists.

He was lord of Baynard's Castle and Dunmow Castle, with estates primarily in Essex. He and Saier de Quincy "cravenly opened the gates of the vital stronghold of Vaudreuil in Normandy," during King John's campaign in 1203 which resulted in his loss of Normandy to Philip of France. He "had been despised for it even by the French. William Marshal one day asked King Philip why he bothered to have truck with such traitors, and Philip replied that such men were like torches, to be used and then thrown in the cesspool." The loss of Vaudreuil was "a staggering blow for it was a vital link in the defensive chain. It had recently been provisioned and its men paid; it bristled with armaments. . .when its commanders opened the gates to Philip. Its surrender was everywhere the talk of the day, and derisive songs were sung about its 'glorious defence'." Robert later plotted to overthrow and possibly assassinate King John in 1212, and when the plot was discovered he fled for a time to the court of Philip. He and Eustace de Vesci, who had also fled, had, "by an ingenious sleight of hand. . .successfully posed as martyrs to their conscientious objections to obeying an excommunicate king." He was received back in England as part of John's reconciliation with Rome to end the interdict. He was one of the leaders of the baronial rebellion. On April 26, 1215, he led a force to Northampton to compel the king to sign the Magna Carta, but John did not appear. He was appointed general by the other barons, "with the title of Marshal of the Army of God and the Church," and under his command the Magna Carta was extorted from King John at Runnymede on June 10, 1215. He was one of the 25 Magna Carta surety barons. He died on crusade, at the siege of Damietta. The "mystery. . .is what spurred on the chief agitators and promoters of rebellion, Robert FitzWalter and Eustace de Vesci. They put out stories of John's lecherous designs upon their women folk. . .but the stories they told were so confused and unsubstantiated as to be beyond unravelling, let alone belief. . .it is hard to believe that FitzWalter and Vesci were anything more than varional roughnecks. . .FitzWalter was altogether disreputable and mischievious, rescued from ignominy only by his great fiefs, and owing his leadership to his dominating aggressiveness. He was quick to take offense and draw his sword. . .his son-in-law, Geoffrey de Mandeville, once slew a servant of William Brewer in a sordid squabble over lodgings when the royal court was putting up for the night at Marlborough. John threatened to hang him for murder, and FitzWalter broke out with 'You will not hang my son-in-law! By God's body you will not! You will see two hundred laced helms in your land before you hang him!' And when the King put the case up for trial, FitzWalter appeared at court with five hundred armed knights."
ABT 3020 BC - 2975 BC Aha Pharoah of Egypt (I Dynasty)

Aha was a king who clearly ruled over all of Egypt.
His tomb is in the royal cemetery of Abydos.
His name means "fighting hawk" or simply " warrior" and his serek (seen in picture left) is showing to arms holding a shield and a club. All the names from this troublesome era had meanings connected to fighting. He was the follower and probably son of king Narmer.
One of his names found in his likely mother's queen Neit-hotep's tomb says: "Men", meaning "established" perhaps an indicator that he was Menes (see this king). A large mastaba in Sakkara is from his reign and his tomb had a brand new design: three separate burial chambers and three straight rows of 33 side burials of sacrificed(?) retainers. According to Manetho, Aha (if he was Menes) had a reign of 62 years and ended his days by being dramatically killed by a hippopotamus.

The knowledge of king Narmer emerged in 1895 when his famous palette was found in Hierakonpolis (see main text below). His name can be interpreted as "the biting catfish" written by a catfish and a chisel. His queen was Neit-Hotep whose big mastaba-tomb was found in Nagada. It contained sealings with the name of King Aha as well, indicating that he was their son who took care of the funeral.
He was buried at the royal cemetery in Abydos in a modest tomb just beside the big funeral complex of his presumed son Aha.
He does not exist (at least with the name Narmer) in later lists over Egyptian kings. Left: close-up detail from his green slate palette (back side) where he is wearing the white crown of Upper Egypt.

King Menkaure probably was a man in his early middle age when he reached the throne. He built a pyramid of a modest size at Giza.
According to Greek historian Herodotos Menkaure was a good and wise pharaoh who was loved by his people (his father and grandfather were not).
He gave liberty to the people, opened the temples for everybody and listened to their complains.
In the first decades of the 1900s half a dozen of statues were found of him. They were mostly triads showing himself and two goddesses, and all in an excellent condition (see picture left).

Khafre was the second son of Khufu and came to power after the death of his elder brother - king Djedefre. He erected a pyramid by his father's at Giza and his valley temple there, made of granite, is still standing. Within it was found fragments from over twenty statues. Alongside the ceremonial pathway up to the pyramid and the mortuary temple lays the most famous sculpture of all times - the sphinx. It's the king himself with a lion's body hewn out of the bedrock and with the length of 72 metres.
Photos left shows his famous statue in the Egyptian Museum in different shades making him either a despotic pharaoh (top) or a good guy (bottom).

Alias: The /Grim/
Aubrey de Vere, born before 1120, third Baron by tenure, of Kensington,
Count of Ghisnes, for his fidelity to the Empress Maud, wasconfirmed by
that princess in the office of Great Lord Chamberlain, and allhis
father's territorial possessions. He had likewise other important grants
with the Earldom of Cambridge, provided that dignity was not vested in
theKing of Scots, but if it were, then he was to have his choice of the
Earldomsof Oxford, Berkshire, or Dorsetshire, all which grants being
ratified by King Henry II., he was created Earl of Oxford, with the usual
grant to earls, ofthe third penny of the pleas of the county. In the
12th year of King Henry II, on the levy of the aid for portioning the
king's daughter, the Earl of Oxford certified his knight's fees to be in
number twenty-eight, for which he paid 20 pounds, and in the 2nd year of
King Richard I., he paid a fine of 500 marks to the king, "for the sister
of Walter de Bolebec, to make a wife for his son." In four years
afterwards he contributed 30 pounds, 2 shillings, and 6pence for the
knight's fees he then held, towards the sum at that time raised for the
ransom of the king. The earl married (1) Euphamia Cantilupe, daughter of
William de Cantilupe, by whom he had no issue, and (2) Lucia Abrincis,
daughter and heiress of William de Abrincis

Garsias, King of Spain. This agrees with the statement of Ademar, that he m. a da. (unnamed) of the widowed Ermensede, Countess of Barcelona, the mother of Raymond abovenamed. If this Roger were Roger de Toeni, he married Godeheut while his 1st wife was alive, and Stephanie m. Garsias III, King of Navarre, while Roger was living. [Complete Peerage XII/1:756 note (g)]

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

Note: Roger Toeni's 1st wife, Stephanie, is questioned by some; especially her 2nd marriage to Garcias of Spain while Toeni was still alive. I agree that it does not make much sense. However, Roger was fighting battles in Spain and could have "married" a Spanish lady whom he later "divorced" when he returned to Normandy. It has been speculated that Stephanie was mother of Robert de Toeni of Belvoir (as opposed to the younger son Robert de Stafford) and of a Berenger de Toeni, whose ancestry is not known, but is likely (especially with the name) to be a son of Roger & Stephanie.

"Success has a thousand fathers but failure is an orphan" (JFK, misquoting Count Galeazzo Ciano's "Victory finds a thousand fathers but defeat is always an orphan") and by that measure Estafania was moderately successful, for she has found at least four fathers. These four alternative fathers, with samples of their sponsors, are:

1. Bernard-Roger de Foix. Said by TAF to be the "traditional" one, and found as such in ES and, probably based on that, in Brian Tomsett's database, in the Theroff text files, in the Roglo database, and elsewhere. As recently as July 14, 1999, TAF was able to write "... all Iberian works with which I am familiar (and as recent as 1996) are united in calling the Queen of Navarre the daughter, not of Ramon Borrel and Ermesende, but of her brother Bernard, Count of Bigorre, and sister of the Queen of Aragon." This is vintage TAF obscurantism, but becomes clear when you read "Queen of Navarre" as Sephanie the wife of Garcia IV/V Sanchez of Navarre and "Queen of Aragon" as Gerberge, undoubted daughter of Bernard-Roger and wife of Ramiro I Sanchez of Aragon,

2. Ramon I Borel of Barcelona, husband of the Ermesinda rejected by all Iberian works with which TAF was familiar in mid-1999. This past December 8 TAF wrote that the Roger-Bernard paternity "is based on a late source, and a more contemporary one calls her daughter of the Countess Ermesende. (This Catalonian variant has only become popular within the last several years.)" Tempora mutantur et nos in eis mutamur?

3. Ramon Berenguer I of Barcelona, grandson son of Ramon I Borel and Ermesinda. Keats-Rohan is said to have called him the father of Stephanie in K S B Keats-Rohan *Domesday People: A Prosopography of Persons occurring in English Documents,1066-1166* (The Boydell Press: Woodbridge, 1999), according to Richard Borthwick who said in this NG, January 14 1999 (in an annotated AT of William (II) d' Aubigny of Belvoir) that "The wife of Roger was Estefania/Stephanie (not Adelaide) sister of Ramon Berenguer I and not his daughter as claimed by Keats-Rohan."

4. Berenguer Ramon I of Barcelona, son of #2 and father of #3. This is Borthwick's horse and is, incidentally, also backed by a pre-1996 Iberian work with which TAF was evidentally unfamiliar in 1999, even though it had been mentioned in this NG on 19 January 1997 by Valerio P. Lucchinetti: "According to Diccionario de Historia de Espana, dir.by German Bleiberg, Madrid 1979, Queen Estefania, wife of King Garcia IV of Navarre (k.a.Atapuerca 1054) was the dau. of Ct Berenguer Ramon I of Barcelona and she married King Garcia in Barcelona in 1038."

It is striking that three generations of the counts of Barcelona find places at the starting gate. Perhaps for want of reliable dates of births and marriages (death dates are fairly well-established but not dispositive of the issue), there is no apparent chronological impossibility to lay against any of the runners. Bernard de Foix, as a brother of Ermesinda, must have been roughly contemporary with her and with her husband Ramon I Borel. Since historians and genealogists were evidently comfortable with Bernard until quite recently, it must be supposed that the chronology raised no eyebrows, and hence we could say that Ramon Borel should be equally welcome on any chronological grounds, and that in some sense a burden of persuasion increases as we drag Stephanie forward in time from that generation's children.

It would be nice to know more about the "more contemporary" source TAF mentions which calls Stephanie the daughter of Ermesinde; however I suppose it is not conclusive, otherwise TAF would not have treated Bernard-Roger de Foix as still in the race, as he recently did, as we shall see in a moment.

Maria Emma Escobar has given us a priceless document in Stephanie's will. She posted it as definitive of the children of Stephanie but in the present context it is the names themselves that are of crucial importance, for as TAF has elaborated, the heirs all appear to be namesakes of fairly near relations of Stephanie or of Garcia. The will mentions eight children, six of them having names found among the relations of Garcia. Here is what TAF found, converting the relation-labels' referents from the children to Garcia:
Sancho - Garcia's father
Mayor - Garcia's mother
Ramiro - Garcia's brother
Fernando - Garcia's brother
Jimena - Garcia's sister (or his paternal grandmother)
Urraca - Garcia's maternal grandmother

The other two legatees were named Ermesinda and Raymond/Ramon (lit. Regummendo), and they seem to be related to Stephanie rather than Garcia, but the relationship depends on who her father was.

The first and most appealing case is that they were her own mother and father. This would balance the inclusion of Garcia's parents in the name-list of the will. If instead her father was Berenguer Ramon I, then they would be her father (or paternal grandfather) and her paternal grandmother. If her father was Ramon Berenguer, then they would be her great-grand parents on the paternal-paternal side, but in this case the same Urraca who was Garcia's maternal grandmother would also be Stephanie's maternal grandmother.

Finally, if Stephanie's father was Bernard-Roger de Foix: Ermesinda would appear as Stephanie's paternal aunt and Raymond as her paternal uncle. (TAF discusses and summarizes in this NG on 16 July 1998, Stasser, Thierry, Autour de Roger de Vieux: les alliances matrimoniales des comtes de Carcassonne, Annales du Midi, 108:165-187, wherein, according to TAF's summary, Bernard is shownto have had siblings: Arsinde m. William, Count of Beziers; Ermessinde; Raymond; Peter; and a sister m. William Amelius.)

On the basis of finding a Raymond among the siblings of Bernard and Ermessinde, TAF suggests that the roster of legatees in Stephanie's will "tends to slightly favor the placement of Estefania as daughter of Raymond Borrell and Ermesenda. However, not strongly, because the Foix alternative would make Raymond named for paternal uncle and Ermesenda for paternal aunt. Still, I would have expected to see the grandparents' names."

I think the case is much more emphatic than that, that the absence of Bernard-Roger's parents' names (Roger, Adelaide) is not just unexpected but downright telling, especially where one of the alternatives offers her parents' names, another those of her grand-parents, and a third those of her great-grand-parents.

Her husband's siblings were included in the honors list but none of his aunts or uncles. If Stephanie was the daughter of de Foix she had at least four siblings -- Bernard, Gerberge, Clemence, Pierre -- who would have had stature exactly equal to the siblings of Garcia but none of whose names she appears to have given to any of her children.

Some caution may be called for in drawing conclusions from the names in Stephanie's will; I may be reading too much into her choices of names for her children (if it was she who made the choices). But to the extent that the "Garcia side" of the will shows six namesakes closely related to him, the hobgoblin of small minds would call, along with TAF, for a consistency on Stephanie's side.

Finally, when she married Garcia, King of Navarre, she did so, not in Navarre and not in France but in Barcelona. Or at least so says the Diccionario de Historia de Espana, anyway that's what Valerio P. Lucchinetti said it says. A Barcelona wedding would make sense for a daughter of a Count of Barcelona, but would seem a strange venue for a daughter of a count of Bigorre, Foix or Commignes.

The paternity of Stephanie appears to me to be a good occasion for balancing the desire to put a name in a blank space in a pedigree against the desire to learn and take advantage of the educated opinions of experts who do not agree unanimously. In recent discussions here of that issue I took the position that using the software's capacity to allow for multiple parents was better than "NN" or "Unknown" with a note showing the alternatives, because there is a qualitative difference between "totally unknown [we haven't a clue]" and "subject of discussion." I received several useful suggestions for which I am grateful, but my solution will be to enter my choice of most likely parents (Ramon Borel and Ermesinda) as "preferred" parents with "natural" filiation, and to tack on the other sets of possible parents with "unknown" filiations, with appropriate notes on all the alternative parents. In this way the pedigrees (as far as I have them) of all of them will be not only preserved in the database but will not be unattached fragments, and if ever the balance educated opinions of experts changes it will be relatively easy to change the filiations, and in the meantime to give further attention to the implications of the alternatives by simply changing temporarily the "preferred" set of parents.

Following excerpted from a posting by Raymond Phair to soc.genealogy.medieval:

From: Raymond Phair (rphair@CapAccess.org)
Subject: Ranulf de Glanville
Newsgroups: soc.genealogy.medieval
Date: 1999/02/22

Theobald de Valeines (fl. 1135), a tenant of the count of Brittany (honor of Richmond) in Parham, as well as co. Norfolk and Yorkshire, married Helewise -- [15, 3]. He was probably a son of Hamo de Valenis who held Parham as the Domesday tenant of count Alan Rufus [15].

also at a later date, 8 Apr 1999, Raymond Phair posts:

Theobald I was probably a son of Hamo de Valenis; see my 21 Feb 1999 posting about Ranulf de Glanville. Very little is known about Theobald. He occured in the 1130 pipe roll and in 2 charters (about 1135) [1]. The Valognes fee is described by Clay in EYC vol.5, who noted that no connection has been discovered to the Domesday sheriff of Essex, Peter de Valognes, nor any other family using the name Valognes. Theobald's family name was usually spelled Valeines or Velaines.

His grandson, Theobald de Valeines II (son of Robert), founder of Hickling priory in co. Norfolk, justice, and sheriff of Norfolk and Suffolk, died before Michaelmas 1209 when his son Thomas had succeeded [2]. Thomas, according to Dugdale, was one of the barons who rebelled against king John [3]. Clay, Mortimer, and Brown, have discussed other relatives, as well as possible ones, of Theobald I [4].

The ancient kings of Leinster had fortresses or royal residences at Dinnrigh,
near the River Barrow, between Carlow and Leighin, at Naas in Kildare, at Old
Ross in Wexford, at Ballymoon in Carlow, and in after-times at the city of
Ferns in Wexford, which was their capital. The MacMoroughs were inaugurated
as Kings of Leinster at a place called Cnoc-an-Bhogha, attended by O'Nolan,
who was the King's Marshal and chief of Forth in Carlow; by O'Doran, Chief
Brehon of Leinster, by MacKeogh, his Chief Bard. The MacMoroughs maintained
their independence and held the title of "Kings of Leinster" with large
possessions in Wexford and Carlow down to the reign of Queen Elizabeth. The
Hy-Cavanagh of O'Cavanaghs were chiefs of the ancient territory which nor
comprises the Barony of Idrone East, in the County Carlow, and in modern times
became the representatives of the MacMoroughs, Kings of Leinster.
~1067 Roger de Torrington Rodrigo Fernandez de Torono Note: He has no known relationship with the Lara family. 1014/1025 - 1088 Robert de Toeni Lord of Domesday

b? Tosni, Louviers, Eure, Normandy, France

Robert [de Toeni], called de Stafford; held by 1086 nearly 70 manors in Staffs, more than 25 in Warwicks, more than 20 in Lincs, 10 in Oxon, one in Worcs and one in Northants; built what later became known as Belvoir Castle; allegedly married Avice de Clare, and died probably 1088. [Burke's Peerage]

Jim Weber writes: "Even though BP, above states that they are the same person, there is no definite proof either way. One person in soc.genealogy.medieval has speculated that Robert of Belvoir was son of Roger de Toeni by his Spanish 1st wife, while Robert de Stafford was a younger son by his 2nd wife Godheut. It makes sense to me, which is why I have portrayed my pedigree that way."

Amongst the most distinguished companion in arms of the Conqueror was Robert de Todeni, a nobleman of Normandy, upon whom the victorious monarch conferred, with numerous other grants, an estate in the county of Lincoln upon the borders of Leicestershire. Here de Todeni erected a stately castle and, from the fair view it commanded, gave it the designation of Belvoir Castle, and here he established his chief abode. At the time of the General Survey, this powerful personage possessed no less than eighty extensive lordships, viz., two in Yorkshire, one in Essex, four in Suffolk, one in Cambridge, two in Hertfordshire, three in Bucks, four in Gloucestershire, three in Bedfordshire, nine in Northamptonshire, two in Rutland, thirty-two in Lincolnshire, and seventeen in Leicestershire. "of this Robert," saith Dugdale, "I have not seen any other memorial than that the Coucher-Book of Belvoir recordeth: which is, that bearing a venerable esteem to our sometime much celebrated protomartyr, St. Alban, he founded near to his castle a priory for monks and annexed it as a cell to that great abbey in Hertfordshire, formerly erected by the devout King Offa in honour of that most holy man." Robert de Todeni, Lord of Belvoir, d. in 1088, leaving issue by his wife Adela, William, who assumed the surname of Albini; Berenger; Geoffrey; Robert; and Agnes. He was s. by his eldest son, William de Albini, Brito, Lord of Belvoir. [Sir Bernard Burke, Dormant, Abeyant, Forfeited and Extinct Peerages, Burke's Peerage, Ltd., London, England, 1883, p. 160, Daubeney, Barons Daubeney, Earl of Bridgewater]

Jim Weber writes: "Note: Robert was father of Adeliza, who married Roger Bigod and had Cecily, who married William de Albini. William did succeed Robert as Lord of Belvoir, but as a grandson-in-law, not as a son as Sir Bernard Burke states in 'Dormant & Extinct Peerages' above."

BARONY OF ENGAINE (II, 1)

SIR JOHN ENGAINE, or DENGAINE of Laxton, Pytchley, Blatherwycke, Great Gidding: Dillington, White Notley, Colne Engaine, &c., nephew and heir [of John 1st Baron, dsp. 28 Sep 1322], being son and heir of Sir Nicholas ENGAINE, of Colne Engaine and Coton, by Anice, daughter of Sir Walter DE FAUCOMBERGE, of Skelton in Cleveland and Rise in Holderness [LORD FAUCOMBERGE], which Nicholas was brother and heir of the last Lord, but died 4 or 10 December 1322, without having had livery of his brother's lands. He was born 30 May 1302. When he had proved his age, the King took his homage, and he had livery of his uncle's lands, 9 June 1323; his father's lands were liberated to him, 12 July following. Having accompanied the Earl of Lancaster in his chivauche to Bedford, 11 January 1328/9, his lands were taken into the King's hand on 16 January: they were restored to him, 11 February following, and the King, with the assent of Parliament, remitted the recognizance in 1,200 marks, which he had made to pay for his pardon, 14 December 1330. On 6 September 1339, he obtained possession of the manors of Blatherwycke, Dillington, and Graffham, and the other lands which Ellen, widow of his uncle, John, had held in dower or for life. He was appointed a justice, in cos. Cambridge, Hunts, Northants, and Rutland, to hear and determine the oppressions committed by the King's ministers and others, 10 December 1340: he was then a banneret. In April 1343 he acquired the manor of Eaton Socon, Beds, and in February 1346/7 the reversion of the manor of Sandy, Beds, and that of the advowson of a chantry in the church there, from Roger de Beauchamp. These manors, and others, he subsequently entailed. He was summoned for Military Service against the Scots, 21 March 1332/3, to Councils from May 1324 to 20 March 1349/50, and to Parliament from 20 September 1355 to 15 December 1357, by writs directed Johanni Dengayne, whereby he is held to have become LORD ENGAINE. In 1346 he was summoned to join the King before Calais.

He married, soon after 12 November 1318, Joan, daughter of Sir Robert PEVEREL, of Castle Ashby, Northants, by Alice, his wife. He died 16 February 1357/8, aged 55. On 19 March following the escheator in co. Leicester was ordered to take the fealty of Joan, and the manors, which she and her husband had held jointly at his death, were liberated to her.

Kincora was the royal seat of Brien's ancestors. Between 927 and 1014,
Boroimhe (Bobu) Brian, a younger son of Cineadh, was the 175th Monarch of
Ireland. "Brian" is Irish for very great strength. He was the ancestor of
O'Brien, King of Thomond. He had eleven brothers of whom only four left issue.

Brian pulled out his younger brother Deadha's eyes (hence the epithet
Dalladh, "blindness" applied to Deadha) for daring to come between him and
the throne. Brian is represented by Irish Scholars as a man of fine figure,
large stature, of great strength of body, and undaunted valour. He has been
always celebrated as one of the greatest of the Irish Monarch, equally
conspicuous for sagacity and bravery, a warrior and legislator, and, at the
same time, distinguished by his munificence, piety, and patronage of learned
men. Thus, he combines all the elements of a great character, and is equally
eminent in the arts of war and peace. He is a hero and patriot whose memory
will always remain famous as one of the foremost of the Irish Kings in wisdom
and valor. Brian lived at his palace of Cean Coro (Kincora), since the days
of Cormac MacArt, the celebrated Monarch of Ireland in the third century - the
glories of whose palace at Tara were for many ages the theme of the Irish
bards:
Connellan's Four Masters:
Oh, where, Kincora!
is Brian the Great?
And where is the beauty that once was thine?
Oh! Where are the Princess and Nobles that sate
At the feast in thy halls, and drank the red wine.
Where, oh, Kincora!

The armorial bearing of the O'Brien are: Arms: Gules three lions, passant,
guardant, per palel, or and argent. Crest: On a wreath issuing out of
clouds, a naked arm, embowed, the hand grasping a sword, all ppr. Motto:
Lamh Laidir an Uachdar.

Brian died 23 Apr 1014 in Clontarf, Ireland. Brian was felled by the hand of
Brodar, the Danish admiral, at the Battle of Clontarf, on Good Friday, at the
age of 88 years.

From the book, History of the O'Briens:
The Battle of Clontarf: Brian Boroimhe, slain 1014 AD

Brian Boroimhe is described in the "four Masters", as "this great and
victorious prince". When he was a young man at his brother Mahon's court it is said of him that he was impatient of inaction seeing all parts of the country overrun by the Danes.

He conceived the idea of carrying on a kind of Partisan war against these
foreigners. With this end view he formed a small corps of only one hundred
brave young noblemen, attended by their servants, at the head of whom he
always posted himself, at passes and defiles, where he hoped to catch the
enemy on his plundering excursions, or as they marched or counter marched from one post to another. During one of these small mountain wars, Brian, in one of his expeditions, attacked a Danish officer called Dirinus, who commanded a party of one hundred men, and killed him with fifty of his number. This occurred near Craig-Liath, close to the town and regal seat "Bael Boromha". Some say that it was from this seat that Brian took his name. The town afterwards enlarged and therein he built his famous palace of Kincora (Ceanncora).

The sight of the ancient fortress has a commanding view over the Shannon at
Killaloe; it is overgrown and trees grow around it but the ancient ramparts
show clearly as evidence of where it stood.

There is no trace of the Palace, which was situated near Cathedral of
Killalos, and high above the level of the town.

His Grandsons bequeathed such workings in Shitlington & Flockton to Rievaulx Abbey. It is recorded that he had a large number of sons, amongst whom his holdings were eventually divided. Some of these sons appear to have been very capable men.

Essolf was the first to take on a second name (which became compulsary under Norman law about 1100AD).

"[T]he brooch was given to him. Then he went to Mes Gegra, the king of Leinster. Mes Gegra had a brother called Mes Róida, and they were the sons of two mutes - their mother and father were both deaf and dumb. Mes Gegra gave Athirne a great welcome.

Athirne demanded the king's wife that night.

'Why should I give you my wife?' said Mes Gegra.

'For your honour's sake,' replied Athirne. 'Otherwise, kill me, and the shame of Leinstermen will be so great that the Ulstermen will never be finished avenging me on you.'

'You will find no welcome here for the sake of the Ulstermen,' said Mes Gegra. 'You will have the woman for the sake of my honour, but there is no man in Ulster who could take her unless I gave her voluntarily for my honour's sake.'

'I say this truly,' said Athirne, 'I will not rest until an Ulsterman carries off your head and your wife.'

'I won't hold that against you,' said Mes Gegra. 'You will be made welcome.' So Buan, Mes Gegra's wife, slept with Athirne that night. Athirne remained on the circuit of Leinster for a whole year, and took 150 queens, the wives of princes and nobles of Leinster, and carried them off to his own country."

Some modern lists make him the founder of the dynasty, though he never claimed to be king. Antef's cartouche (picture left) makes his throne name by the four lower signs.
The country was divided and Antef began fighting the dynasties 9-10 ruling northern Egypt from Herakleopolis.
He took the title "king of the two countries" right from the beginning, though he never succeeded to fulfil its meaning.
The civil war that should last long after his death and he was buried in Western Thebes in a so called "row tomb" of a brand new design, cut in to the mountain rock. His two successors and namesakes made similar monuments.

The earliest known leader from Thebes before this dynasty was formed was a curtain "Antef - son of Ikui". He must have lived around 2200 B.C. and is mentioned from the hall of ancestors by Thothmes III in dynasty 18 with the title: "Count and Herditary Prince." A stela from Drab Abu Neggah calls him: "the Hereditary Price, Count of the Great Lord of the Theban Nome .... Inyotefi (Antef)." A stela from Denderah says: "The Great Prince of the South, Antef." Perhaps he was related to the old royal family, but to whom we don't know. Nor can we tell if the coming rulers were descendents of his.

History of Hampshire

Thorngate Hundred

Two hides of land in Nether Wallop, which in the 16th century acquired the name of Wallop Heathmanstreet, were held in the 12th century by the Norman family of Bendeng.In 1208 KIng John granted the estate lately belonging to Stephen de Bendeng to his servant Matthew de Wallop, to hold during his pleasure.

Bramdean

At the Domesday Survey Bramdean was called Brondene and was held by Miles the Porter from the king. Bramdean had been three manors held by two freemen in the time of King Edward. Miles the Porter and his descendents kept the king's gaol in Winchester, but later members of the family, having adopted the surname de Bramdean, neglected their duties as king's gaol-keepers. Richard I relieved the de Bramdeans of their duties and put William de Hoe in their place.

When King John came to the throne Henry de Bramdean disputed the award to William de Hoe, but King John disregarded the claims of both men and granted the custody of the castle and gaol of Winchester, together with the Manor of Woodcote in Bramdean, to Matthew de Wallop and his heirs. Further disputes arose, and the manor with the responsibilities of gaoler passed into the hands of other families. Tenure of Wood cote Manor depended upon custody of Winchester Gaol until the seventeenth century, when the manor was bought by the Venables family.

The Manor of Bramdean, which had been taken away from Henry de Bramdean by Richard 1, belonged to the Prior of Selborne until 1486, when it was transferred to Magdalen College, Oxford.

Note: Baldwin I, by name BALDWIN IRON-ARM, French BAUDOUIN BRAS-DE-FER, Dutch BOUDEWIJN DE IJZERE ARM (d. 879), the first ruler of Flanders. A daring warrior under Charles II the Bald of France , he fell in love with the King's daughter Judith, the youthful widow of two English kings, married her (862), and fled with his bride to Lorraine. Charles, though at first angry, was at last conciliated, and made his son-in-law margrave (Marchio Flandriae) of Flanders (864), which he held as a hereditary fief. The Norsemen were at this time continually devastating the coast lands, and Baldwin was entrusted with this outlying borderland in order to defend it. He was the first of a line of strong rulers, who early in the 10th century exchanged the title of margrave for that of count.

    Name Suffix: Earl Douglas
    Ancestral File Number: 9FVB-R7
    James Earl of Douglas was a distinguished soldier. He was killed at the Battle of Otterburn just as he had beaten Henry "Hotspur" Percy. He was married to the daughter of King Robert II but they had no children. He had several illegitimate children through unknown mothers.

    "You show that the wife of James (2nd Earl of Douglas) Douglas wasIsabella (of Durisdeer) Stewart whereas both SP and CP say that she wasIsabel Stewart, daughter of King Robert II by Eupheme of Ross, but thename of the spouse is irrelevant because James's sons and a daughter wereall illegitimate! This is why he granted the lands of Drumlanrig to hisbastard son William and why James, the second Earl, was succeeded by hiscousin Archibald Douglas (the Grim), bastard son of James, Lord ofDouglas, called the good Sir James who was in turn the son of Sir William(le Hardi) Douglas."

James, 2nd Earl of Douglas
The 2nd Earl was born in 1358 and succeeded his father at a time of much border warfare between Scotland and England. Due to the old age of King Robert II, the Douglases were left in charge of the defense of the kingdom. They literally became "the shield of Scotland". In 1388 the 2nd Earl led a plundering sweep into England in retaliation for the devastation caused by King Richard's army three years earlier. While on this raid, Douglas met and defeated the renown English knight Henry "Hotspur" Percy in personal combat. In triumph he carried off Percy's pennon.

In an effort to regain his pennon, and his honor, Percy pursued and engaged Douglas at the Battle of Otterburn. Douglas, although mortally wounded in the battle, directed his captains to carry his standard, sound his battle cry and rally his troops. Even in death, he carried the field. James left one illegitimate son, William, 1st Lord of Drumlanrig, who was the sire of the Queensberry cadet branch. As no legitimate heir was left, the earldom passed to the "base born" son of Sir James "The Good".

Otterbourne

A Scottish ode to James, 2nd Earl of Douglas and Sir Hugh Montgomery, his nephew, who fought and defeated Henry "Hotspur" Percy on the field at Otterburn in 1388.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------


It fell about the Lammas tide,
When the muir-men win their hay,
The doughty Douglas bound him to ride
Into England, to drive a prey.

He chose the Gordons and the Graemes,
With them the Lindesays, light and gay;
But the Jardines wald not with him ride,
And they rue it to this day.

And he has burned the dales of Tyne,
And part of Bambrough shire,
And three good towers on Reidswire fells,
He left them all on fire.

And he marched up to Newcastle,
And rode it round about:
"O wha's the lord of this castle?
Or wha's the lady o't?"

But up spake proud Lord Percy then,
And O but he spake hie!
I am the lord of this castle,
My wife's the lady gay.

"If thou'rt the lord of this castle,
Sae weel it pleases me,
For, ere I cross the Border fells,
The tane of us shall die."

He took a lang spear in his hand,
Shod with the metal free,
And for to meet the Douglas there
He rode right furiouslie.

But O how pale his lady looked,
Frae aff the castle-wa,
When down before the Scottish spear
She saw proud Percy fa.

"Had we twa been upon the green,
And never an eye to see,
I wad hae had you, flesh and fell;
But your sword sall gae wi me."

The Otterbourne's a bonnie burn;
'Tis pleasant there to be;
But there is nought at Otterbourne
To feed my men and me.

"The deer rins wild on hill and dale,
The birds fly wild frae tree to tree;
But there is neither bread nor kale
To fend my men and me."

"Yet I will stay at Otterbourne,
Where you shall welcome be;
And, if ye come not at three dayis end,
A fause lord I'll ca thee."

"Thither will I come," proud Percy said,
"By the might of Our Ladye;"
"There will I bide thee." said the Douglas,
"My troth I plight to thee."

They lighted high on Otterbourne,
Upon the bent sae brown;
They lighted high on Otterbourne,
And threw their pallions down.

And he that had a bonnie boy
Sent out his horse to grass;
And he that had not a bonnie boy
His ain servant he was.

But up then spake a little page,
Before the peep of dawn:
"O waken ye, waken ye, my good lord,
For Percy's hard at hand."

"Ye lie, ye lie, ye liar loud!
Sae loud I hear ye lie:
For Percy had not men yestreen
To dight my men and me."

"But I have dreamed a dreary dream,
Beyond the Isle of Skye;
I saw a dead man win a fight,
And I think that man was I."

He belted on his guid braid sword,
And to the field he ran,
But he forgot the helmet good,
That should have kept his brain.

When Percy with the Douglas met,
I wat he was fu fain;
They swakked their swords, till sair they swat
And the blood ran down like rain.

But Percy with his good broad sword,
That could so sharply wound,
Has wounded Douglas on the brow,
Till he fell to the ground.

Then he call'd on his little foot-page,
And said, "Run speedilie,
And fetch my ain dear sister's son,
Sir Hugh Montgomery."

"My nephew good," the Douglas said,
"What recks the death of ane!
Last night I dreamed a dreary dream,
And I ken the day's thy ain."

"My wound is deep; I fain would sleep;
Take thou the vanguard of the three,
And hide me by the braken-bush,
That grows on yonder lilye lee."

"O bury me by the braken-bush,
Beneath the blooming brier;
Let never a living mortal ken
That ere a kindly Scot lies here."

He lifted up that noble lord,
Wi the saut tear in his ee;
He hid him in the braken-bush,
That his merrie men might not see.

The moon was clear, the day drew near,
The spears in flinders flew,
But mony a gallant Englishman
Ere day the Scotsmen slew.

The Gordons good, in English blood
They steepd their hose and shoon;
The Lindsays flew like fire about,
Till all the fray was done.

The Percy and Montgomery met,
That either of other were fain ;
They swapped swords, and they twa swat,
And aye the blood ran down between.

"Now yield thee, yield thee, Percy," he said,
"Or else I vow I'll lay thee low!"
"To whom must I yield," quoth Earl Percy,
"Now that I see it must be so?"

"Thou shalt not yield to lord nor loun,"
Nor shalt thou yield to me;
But yield to the braken-bush,
That grows upon yon lilye lee. "

"I will not yield to a braken-bush,
Nor yet will I yield to a brier;
But I would yield to Earl Douglas,
Or Sir Hugh Montgomery, if he were here."

As soon as he knew it was Montgomery,
He struck his sword's point in the gronde;
The Montgomery was a courteous knight,
And quickly took him by the honde.

This deed was done at the Otterbourne,
About the breaking of the day;
Earl Douglas was buried at the braken-bush,
And the Percy led captive away.


James Douglas (2nd Earl of Douglas and Earl of Mar)
c.1358 - 1388

Inherited the Earldoms of Douglas and Mar from his father (1384). Douglas plotted against King David II (1324 - 71), who confronted him at Lanark. He went on to make a tentative bid for the Crown on David's death in 1371. He married Isabel, the daughter of King Robert II (1316 - 90), however, he fell at the Battle of Otterburn (also known as the Battle of Chevy Chase) leaving no children. When mortally wounded he gave instructions that his body should be hidden in a bracken bush so that his opponent (Henry Percy of Northumberland, Shakespeare's Hotspur) would not take advantage from his death. Douglas left one illegitimate son, William, 1st Lord of Drumlanrig, who gave rise the the Queensberry Douglases.
1316 - 1390 Robert Stewart 74 74 ROBERT II, (only child of Walter Stewart, 6th High Steward of Scotland, and Marjorie Bruce, dau. of ROBERT I), b 2 March, 1315-16, Steward of Scotland, 9 April, 1326, Regent 1335-41, and 1346-57, created Earl of Atholl, 16 Feb. 1341-2, Earl of Strathearn before 1357-8, and crowned at Scone, 26 March, 1371. He m 1stly (dispensation dd 22 Nov. 1347), Elizabeth (d ante 1355), dau. of Sir Adam Mure, of Rowallan. By her he had previously had issue,

From Burkes Peerage, Part Three, House of Stewart


Stuart

(1371-90)

The House of Bruce ended with David II, who was childless. It is my personal opinion, however, that since the following kings through James VI of Scotland and I of England were all direct descendants of Robert the Bruce through his daughter, that the House of Bruce did continue even if the father of Robert II was a Stewart. But then I am a Bruce so, of course, I would think so.

Robert the Bruce's daughter, Marjorie, married Walter Stewart (the 6th High Steward of Scotland). The name Stewart was a hereditary title bestowed by David I. Marjorie died giving birth to Robert II, the founder of the Stewart dynasty and the grandson of Robert the Bruce. Robert II became King at the age of 54. He had been appointed Guardian of Scotland twice during the reign of David II and was an experienced statesman. Apparently, he was experienced in other things too since he produced 21 children (13 legitmate and 8 illegitimate). His first wife was Elizabeth, the daughter of Sir Adam Mure of Rowallan (9 children) and his second wife was Euphemia, daughter of Hugh, Earl of Ross (4 children). As with his uncle, David II, he did not have the fighting spirit of his grandfather and was a passive person who had a hard time controlling his family or his kingdom. Once again, there was war between England and Scotland. Scotland was assisted by France under the terms of the Auld Alliance.

One son of Robert II was Alexander, the Wolf of Badenoch, whose son abducted the widowed Countess of Mar and assumed the Earldom. Other sons included the Earl of Strathearn and the Earl of Atholl.

Regardless of the weakness of the Crown and the strength of the nobles, Robert II was still the 99th King of Scots (counting from the mythical Fergus).

Their mother was Eidomene; she was also their first cousin, since Amythaon married his brother's daughter. Aeolia married Calydon, by whom she became the mother of Epicaste and Protogeneia. Since Calydon was the founder of the town of Calydon, Aeolia can by considered the mother of the Calydonian dynasty. [Apollodorus 1.7.7.]

EIDOMENE, or Idomene, was a daughter of Pheres, son of Cretheus and Tyro, and Periclymene. Her brothers were Admetus and Lycurgus, and her sister was Periapis. Pheres founded the town of Pherae in Thessaly. In one place Eidomene was referred to as the daughter of Abas. She married Amythaon, her uncle, thus becoming not only a cousin but also aunt of Jason, since Amythaon was brother to Aeson, Jason's father. By Amythaon she became the mother of sons Bias and Melampus, and a daughter Aeolia. She was sometimes called Aglaia or Dorippe. Amythaon migrated to Messenia and settled at the court of Neleus, his half-brother. He started the Olympic games after the sons of Pelops left Elis. He went back to Thessaly to greet Jason when his nephew appeared at the court of Pelias. Bias and Melampus went on to become joint rulers in Argos because they were able to cure the insanity of the daughters of Proetus. Melampus was able to accomplish the cure through his combined gift of prophecy and medical knowledge. Eidomene probably lived with her sons in Argos after Amythaon died and they had acquired their part of the kingdom.

Hadrian,

also spelled ADRIAN, Latin in full CAESAR TRAIANUS HADRIANUSAUGUSTUS, original name (until AD 117) PUBLIUS AELIUS HADRIANUS(b. Jan. 24, AD 76, Italica, Baetica? [now in Spain]--d. July10, 138, Baiae [Baia], near Naples [Italy]), Roman emperor (AD117-138), the emperor Trajan's nephew and successor, who was acultivated admirer of Greek civilization and who unified andconsolidated Rome's vast empire.

Early life.

The family of Hadrian came from southern Spain. They were not,however, of native Spanish origin but rather of settler stock.Hadrian's forebears left Picenum in Italy for Spain about 250years before his birth. Hadrian himself may have been born inRome. There is nothing particularly Spanish about Hadrian. Hebears the stamp of education in cosmopolitan Rome.

Hadrian's father died in 85, and the son was entrusted to thecare of two men: one, a cousin of his father, later became theemperor Trajan, and the other, Acilius Attianus, later servedas prefect of the emperor's Praetorian Guard early in Hadrian'sown reign. In 90, Hadrian visited Spain probably for the firsttime. At Italica he received some kind of military training andalso developed a fondness for hunting that he kept for the restof his life. Hadrian did not seem to care much for the life ofItalica. He remained there for only a few years, and, when hereturned to Spain as emperor, he avoided Italica altogether.

Rise to power.

When Trajan was consul in 91, Hadrian began to follow thetraditional career of a Roman senator, advancing through aconventional series of posts. He was military tribune with threeRoman legions. In about 95 he served with the Legion II Adjutrixin the province of Upper Moesia, on the Danube River, whence hetransferred in the next year to Lower Moesia (with the FifthMacedonica). Toward the end of 97, Hadrian was chosen to go westto Gaul to convey congratulations to Trajan, whom the agedemperor Nerva had just adopted and thereby designated hissuccessor. Trajan's ward now belonged to the governing circlesof the empire. Inevitably, hostility and envy awaited him. In 98Julius Servianus, his brother-in-law, attempted unsuccessfullyto prevent him from being the first to inform Trajan of Nerva'sdeath. Thereafter, the two men were probably never on cordialterms, for Servianus posed a constant threat to Hadrian'sposition.

The greatest single political figure behind the emperor Trajanwas the man who had masterminded his elevation, Lucius LiciniusSura. Hadrian enjoyed Sura's favour, and, as long as he wasalive, Hadrian prospered. Trajan's wife, Plotina, seems also tohave been close to Sura and a partisan of Hadrian. For a timeServianus could do no harm. Through Plotina's favour, Hadrianmarried Trajan's grand-niece, Vibia Sabina, in 100. In 101Hadrian was quaestor and in 102 served as Trajan's companion inthe Emperor's first war in Dacia on the Danube. In 105 Hadrianbecame tribune of the plebs and, exceptionally, advanced to thepraetorship in 106. No less exceptional than the speed ofpromotion was Hadrian's service as praetor while in the fieldwith the emperor during his second war in Dacia. In 107 he wasbriefly governor of Lower Pannonia. Then, in 108, Hadrianreached the coveted pinnacle of a senator's career, theconsulate. In 107 Licinius Sura had held that office for thethird time, an honour vouchsafed to very few. It was a cruelblow when Sura died at an unknown date immediately followingHadrian's consulate.

Hadrian's career apparently stopped for nearly 10 years. Otherpromising young Romans suffered a similar retardation at aboutthe same time. It would appear that a new political influence,opposed to Sura, Plotina, and Hadrian, dominated Trajan's courtafter Sura's death. Perhaps Servianus played some role. One factilluminates this otherwise obscure period of Hadrian's life: hewas archon at Athens in 112, and a surviving inscriptioncommemorating this office was set up in the Theatre of Dionysus.Hadrian's tenure is a portent of the philhellenism thatcharacterized his reign, and it suggests that in a time ofpolitical inactivity Hadrian devoted himself to the nation andculture of his beloved Greeks. Somehow, however, Hadrian's starrose again, and he returned to favour before the Emperor died.

One source says that Hadrian was an officer under Trajan duringthe Parthian wars at the end of his reign. In 117, when Trajanbegan his journey westward, Hadrian was left in charge of thecrucial army in Syria. Friends of Hadrian, whose careers hadbeen held up, can also be discovered in sensitive commands atthe same time, probably because Plotina and her associates hadregained Trajan's confidence. On August 9 Hadrian learned thatTrajan had adopted him, the sign of succession. On the 11th, itwas reported that Trajan had died on the way to Rome, whereuponthe army proclaimed Hadrian emperor. The sequence of events hasalways provoked suspicion of a conspiracy on Plotina's part, butthe truth will never be known. Certainly, it was Trajan who hadtaken the fateful step of entrusting the army of Syria toHadrian.

Policies as emperor.

Hadrian wrote to the Senate requesting honours for his adoptivefather and ratification of the army's proclamation; all this wasgranted. The new emperor began a slow return to Italy. He had tomake sure of the crucial provincial commands; it was alsoexpedient to have some dissidents rounded up at home before hisreturn and (he would be able to argue) on someone else's orders.Trajan's conquests in Armenia and Mesopotamia werequickly abandoned.

Acilius Attianus, as prefect of the Praetorian Guard, directedaffairs in Rome before Hadrian's return. He ordered the summaryexecutions of four senators of exalted, consular rank, all (itwould seem) threats to the security of Hadrian. This bloodyprelude to the new regime was unsettling, and Hadrian affirmedit was contrary to his will; he laid the blame on Attianus, justas he often blamed instructions of the dead Trajan for otherunpopular acts. When Hadrian reached Rome in the summer of 118,his position was reasonably stable. He courted popular sentimentby public largesse, gladiatorial displays, and a formalcancellation of debts to the state. Attianus, however, wasreplaced, and his colleague in the prefecture, SulpiciusSimilis, was also dismissed. Hadrian installed as prefects thedistinguished Marcius Turbo, a general to whom the new Emperorowed much, and Septicius Clarus, the patron of Suetonius thebiographer. Before many years had passed, both of these men hadfallen into disgrace. Hadrian was mercurial or possibly justshrewdly calculating in dispensing favours.

The new emperor remained at Rome for three years. In 121 he setforth on a tour of the empire, west and east, to inspect troopsand examine frontier defenses. He went to Gaul and Germany,thence to Britain in 122. From there he moved on to Spain andspent the winter in Tarraco, where he made arrangements forcoping with an uprising in Mauretania (Morocco). He next passedeastward, approaching Asia Minor (Anatolia) by the Aegean afteran overland trip through the Balkans. He quickly negotiated someproblems with the Parthians and then visited northwestern AsiaMinor. Returning to the west coast in 124, he sailed to Athensand finally reached Rome again in 125. This prolonged absencefrom the capital of the empire had its administrativejustifications. There had been disturbances in some provinces,and the Parthians had to be dealt with; there was a general needfor imperial supervision. Nevertheless, another motive impelledthe Emperor in his journeys, namely, an insatiable curiosityabout everything and everybody. The Christian writer Tertulliancalled him rightly omnium curiositatum explorator, an explorerof everything interesting. That curiosity was bred of a keenintellect and an anguished spirit. These together drove himinexorably, and by a roundabout path, to the Greek East. Afterhe left Spain early in 123, he never saw the western provincesagain. Hadrian soon came to look upon his reign as a newAugustan age. In 123 he began to style himself HadrianusAugustus, deliberately evoking the memory of his greatpredecessor; he announced a golden age on his coinage. The peacehe so much cherished was a latter-day Augustan peace, and hebequeathed to posterity a public statement of his exploits thatimitated the one left by Augustus.

Hadrian spent another three years in Rome, but in 128 he setforth again. After a visit to North Africa, he went to Athens,and from there he sailed to Asia Minor; he penetrated fareastward into Syria and Arabia. Crossing over into Egypt, heexplored the Nile; then, for the third time, he went to Athens.It is not certain whether Hadrian returned to Rome in 132 or alittle later; he was certainly there in May of 134, but by thena revolt in Judaea forced him abroad still another time. He wentto Palestine, not as a tourist but as a commander. That journeywas Hadrian's last.

The Emperor's travels show the man better than anything else andare marked by some of his most memorable achievements. Innorthern Britain he initiated the construction of thetremendous frontier wall that bears his name fromWallsend-on-Tyne to Bowness-on-Solway. At Lambaesis, inAlgeria, his rigorous inspection of the troops and his severestandards of discipline can be seen in a long inscriptionpreserving an address he made to the soldiers in 128. In Athens,the Emperor's benefactions were numerous. At the Athenians'request, he had their laws professionally redrafted, and hebrought to completion the massive temple of Olympian Zeus thatthe Peisistratid tyrants had begun more than five centuriesbefore. He created the Panhellenion, a federation of Greeks thatwas based at Athens, which gave equal representation to allGreek cities and thereafter played a conspicuous part in thehistory of Roman Greece. At the shrine of Delphi, Hadrian gavehis support to a building renaissance. The impact of all this onHadrian personally cannot be exaggerated. Like Augustus beforehim, he was initiated into the Greek mystery religion atEleusis, and, after the temple of Olympian Zeus was dedicated,he assumed the title Olympius.

The irrational element in Hadrian was important. He was an adeptin astrology, like many intelligent Romans of the time. He wasalso an aesthete who ascended Mt. Etna, in Sicily, and JabalAgra', near Syrian Antioch, simply to watch the sunrise. He hada lively sense of the past, preferring older writers to morerecent ones, favouring archaism for its own sake. Herevolutionized style in the empire by wearing a beard andsetting a precedent for generations of emperors.

In Bithynium-Claudiopolis (modern Bolu) in northwestern AsiaMinor, Hadrian encountered a languid youth, born about 110, bythe name of Antinoüs. Captivated by him, Hadrian made Antinoüshis companion. When, as they journeyed together along the Nilein 130, the boy fell into the river and drowned, Hadrian wasdesolate and wept openly. A report circulated and was widelybelieved that Antinoüs had cast himself deliberately into theriver as a part of some sacred sacrifice. Although Hadrianhimself denied this, the sober 3rd-century historian Dio Cassiusthought it was the truth. The religious character, if such therewas, of the relation between Hadrian and the boy is totallyelusive. The emotional involvement is, however, quite clear.Seeing Hadrian's grief, the Greek world strove to providesuitable consolation for the bereaved and honour for thedeceased. Cults of Antinoüs sprang up all over the East and thenspread to the West. Statues of the boy became a common sight. InEgypt the city of Antinoöpolis commemorated his death.

Artistic achievements.

The artistic temperament of Hadrian manifested itself in hispoetry, his architectural designs, his very style of life. Fourcomplete poems of his composition survive; they illustrate anexceptional technical mastery of versification, although themanner of expression is often artificial and the subjects areslight. His most famous verses are the lines addressed to hissoul and reportedly uttered as he lay dying. In architecture,the Emperor had a notorious quarrel with a leading contemporaryarchitect, Apollodorus of Damascus, whom it is evenalleged Hadrian had put to death. His ultimate artisticachievement was undoubtedly the villa he created for himself atTivoli, outside Rome. Here the Emperor surrounded himself withelegant evocations of his travels; by landscaping and superiorreproductions, he re-created the sights he most loved andthereby managed in his last years to experience thesatisfactions of travel without ever leaving the shores ofItaly.

Hadrian was not the best of patrons. Latin literature did notprogress during his reign. The greatest Hadrianic authors,Suetonius the biographer, Juvenal the satirist, and Tacitusthe historian, were all, in a sense, only survivors of theTrajanic age. They had no immediate literary heirs. Suetonius,although elevated to the important literary post of ab epistulisin the court during Hadrian's first years, was summarilydismissed about 122. Probably there had been a literary quarrel.Of two eminent orators, Dionysius of Miletus and Favorinus ofArelate (in Gaul), Hadrian openly favoured and advanced theformer; he then tried to overthrow him. Favorinus was living inexile toward the end of Hadrian's reign. The Emperor's tastesdominated the world.

In Rome itself, during his brief sojourns there, Hadrian lefthis memorial in several imposing buildings. Designs for theTemple of Rome and Venus provoked the conflict with Apollodorus.He completely rebuilt the Pantheon, which had been destroyed byfire in the reign of his predecessor. His own great tomb (themodern Castel Sant'Angelo) was inspired by an Augustanprecedent, the Julio-Claudian mausoleum, at Rome.

Last years.

When Hadrian left Rome in 134 for his final journey abroad, itwas to resolve a problem of serious proportions in Judaea.Under the leadership of Bar Kokhba (known also as Bar Koziba),the Jews were in open revolt. What had moved them is notaltogether clear. Rabbinical literature alludes to a Hadrianicpersecution that caused fear and apostasy. The probableexplanation of this kind of reference is a universal ban oncircumcision that Hadrian issued in, it seems, the early 130s.The Emperor had an abhorrence of physical mutilation and evenwent so far as to declare that castration was no less a crimethan murder. In the same spirit he denounced and forbadecircumcision, which he viewed as mutilation. There is no reasonto imagine that Hadrian intended by his measure to punish orprovoke the Jews. The uprising came swiftly and understandably.Hadrian's visit to Athens in 131-132 and his residence at Romeuntil the summer of 134 suggest a reluctance to deal personallywith the disturbance in Judaea. He first placed an able general,Sextus Julius Severus, in charge of the problem. In the yearafter Hadrian's arrival in the Near East, the revolt was over.Recent discoveries have shown that several measures connectedwith the close of the revolt and often cited as indications ofimperial severity have to be dated at least six years earlierand, very probably, well before that. Hadrian meted out nosavage punishments in 135.

In 134 Hadrian's aged rival, Julius Servianus, held the consularoffice for the third time, which was a great but empty honour,for the man was too old. Servianus and others may, however, haveseen in his young grandson, Pedanius Fuscus, a successor toHadrian. In 136 both Servianus and Fuscus were executed. TheEmperor had realized that it was time to face the issue ofsuccession, and he wanted it resolved in his own way. WithFuscus eliminated, Hadrian adopted the profligate LuciusCeionius Commodus, aged about 36. The extravagant life ofCeionius, later renamed Lucius Aelius Caesar, portended adisastrous reign. Fortunately, he died two years later, andHadrian, close to death himself, had to choose again. This timehe picked an 18-year-old boy named Annius Verus, the futureemperor Marcus Aurelius.

In 138 Hadrian arranged for the succession to pass to the youngVerus. His arrangements were clever. An estimable and maturesenator, Antoninus, was adopted by Hadrian and designated tosucceed him. The Emperor, however, required that Antoninus adoptboth the young Verus and the eight-year-old son of the recentlydeceased Ceionius. Thus, the family of his first choice wasremembered, whereas an early succession for the older boy seemedassured. No one expected that Antoninus would last very long.Hadrian's scheme of imposing a double adoption upon hisimmediate successor looks like another imitation of the firstemperor, Augustus, who had made a similar demand of Tiberius. Byan irony of fate, Hadrian's expectations about the future wereconfounded. Antoninus, like Tiberius, lived far longer thananyone would have thought possible. He did not die until 161.

When Hadrian died at the seaside resort of Baiae, death came tohim slowly and painfully. He wrote a letter in which he said howterrible it was to long for death and yet be unable to find it.His reign concluded two years after a double execution; it hadbegun with a quadruple one. The dead man was not widely mourned.He was someone to propitiate like a god, wrote a person who knewhim, but he was not one to evoke affection.

the first emperor (i.e. military commander), generally regarded as the founder of the "principate", as historians have agreed to call a monarchy that was still, in name, a republic and even a vague democracy for another two or three centuries. Augustus's father died when he was quite young, and he was eventually adopted by the Julius Caesar as his son and heir.



In 38 Octavian replaced his praenomen Gaius with Imperator, the title by which troops hailed their leader after military success (ultimately Imperator developed into the title Emperor). From this time Octavian's full title was Imperator Caesar Divi Filius, including the reference to him as the son of his deified father.

ABT 0130 BC Rutilia di Roma 0106 BC - 28 Sep 0046 BC Geæus Pompeius Note: Civil war was now unavoidable. Caesar gathered his army and crossed the Rubicon River which formed the border between his province and mainland Italy and proceeded to march toward Rome. Pompey had miscalculated Caesar's resolve, skills and intelligence. The majority of the Senate was now terrified realizing that they had gone too far. Pompey hastily mobilized his army and fled across the Adriatic Sea with the majority of senators. Caesar entered Rome without any resistance. Pompey set about building an army in Greece for the inevitable clash with Caesar. But Caesar instead moved on to Spain quickly removing his enemies and any of Pompey's supporters. Caesar was no fool. His move into Spain was unexpected by Pompey. After protecting his rear, Caesar then returned to Italy and sailed across the Adriatic to confront Pompey's still unprepared army. In a decisive battle at Pharsalus in Thessaly on August 9, 48 BC, Pompey was utterly defeated. The once great general of Rome retreated on a ship bound for Egypt where he had hoped to find sanctuary. Upon his arrival in Egypt, Pompey was brutally slain by order of Ptolemy, King of Egypt. Pompey was no match for the brilliant Julius Caesar. Pompey's greatness was in confrontation - not in strategy and long-term planning. Thus the once Pompey the Great ended pleading for his life in Egypt only to have his head handed over to Caesar upon his arrival.
Event: Military BET 90 BC AND 88 Social War
Note: the whole of Italy rose up against the dominance of Roman power. Pompey fought on the side of Sulla against the Marius in 83 BC upon Sulla's return to Italy following the Mithradatic War. Pompey's brilliant skills were largely responsible for Sulla's victory over the army of the Marian Party.
Event: Military 81 BC African Campaign
Note:
it was his successful campaign in Africa in 81 BC, when Pompey was given the surname "MAGNUS" (the Great).

Note: Following his African campaign, Pompey led a victorious five-year campaign against the Marian leader, Sertorius, in Spain which came to an end in 71 BC.
Event: Military 67 BC Campaign Against the Pirates
Note:
Following his Consulship appointment, Pompey set out to wipe out the pirates that had been dominating the Mediterranean Sea. Pompey managed to accomplish this task in only three months during 67 BC.

Under Pompey's command, he brought the Third Mithradatic War (74-65 BC) to a glorious victory, whereupon he then annexed Syria and Palestine adding them both to the Roman Empire.

Event: Military 48 BC Battle of Pharsalus
Note: Pompey had been defeated at Pharsalus in August of 48 BC. He headed for Alexandria hoping to find refuge with Ptolemy XIII, of whom Pompey was a senate-appointed guardian. Pompey did not realize how much his reputation had been destroyed by Pharsalus until it was too late. He was murdered as he stepped ashore on September 28, 48 BC. The young Ptolemy XIII stood on the dock and watched the whole scene.
Event: Consul of Rome Acceded 70 BC
Event: Commander of the Roman Army Acceded 66 BC
Note: By 66 BC, Pompey took command of the Roman army from Licinius Lucullus, whose spectacular victories over Mithradates were viewed too slow in coming for the impatient Senators.
Event: Dictator of Rome Acceded BET 53 BC AND 48
Note:
Pompey was named sole Consul in 53 BC, thus usurping Caesar's Consulship. In 52 BC, Caesar was confronted by a major rebellion in Gaul during which time Pompey sought to take advantage of the situation. Pompey allied himself with the Senatorial Party in direct opposition to Caesar who had been aligned with the Democratic Party (the Populares) which had opposed the Senatorial nobility since the days of Marius. Pompey, now supported by the Senate, was the acknowledged military and political leader of Rome. On January 1st, 49 BC, the Senate ordered Caesar to give up his command in Gaul, and return to Rome as a private citizen. Caesar had little choice and marched into Italy. Upon crossing the Rubicon, Caesar's words accurately described the situation - "the die is cast!"


Event: Triumvir of Rome Acceded 60 BC
Note:
In 60 BC the alliance between Pompey the Great, Julius Caesar and Marcus Licinius Crassus became known as the "First Triumvirate" thus setting the stage for what would eventually become the birth of the Roman imperial government. Pompey married Caesar's daughter, Julia in 59 BC, with the intent that this would strengthen the bond between these two men since they had been on opposite sides during the war between Marius and Sulla. Crassus had also supported Sulla against Marius but Crassus had been saved by Caesar during the Catiline affair. Crassus had shared a consulship with Pompey during which the two men argued almost constantly. Crassus also never forgave Pompey for stealing the glory for the defeat of Spartacus. Thus it was a political partnership very much designed by Caesar. Shortly thereafter, Caesar departed from Rome to assume the conquest of Gaul (59-49 BC), leaving Pompey and Crassus in charge of administration in the capital city. Unfortunately, the bonds between Pompey and Caesar were not altogether that strong and Julia proved to be the great mediator. Unfortunately, Julia died in 54 BC while in childbirth.

Born in Lanuvium, Latium. Died in Lorium. Adopted by Emperor Hadrian. He is regarded as one of the "Five Good Emperors" in Roman history. Around 133-136, he served in Asia as proconsul, and there he earned the respect of Emperor Hadrian. After Hadrian's return from the Jewish war, Antoninus was made a member of his council not only on grounds of friendships and family connection, but because of his experience as a jurist and administrator. After the sudden death of L. Aelius Caesar, Antoninus was officially adopted by Hadrian on February 25, 138 as successor to the throne. After administering the imperial offices, Hadrian died and Antoninus became emperor. Antoninus restored the status of the senate without losing any of the imperial powers, improved and strengthen the great bureaucratic machinery of the Empire and was a great builder, especially in Italy. The whole world pressed on Antoninus with demands and petitions of every kind, and there was clear evidence that he satisfied many of them. Cities like Rome, and Ostia, Lanuvium and Tarquinii, Lorium and Caieta, Antinum and Terraccina, Capua and Puteoli and other places in Campania or South Italy, all owed buildings to him. He induced the rich to make benefactions, but he was also generous with his own resources. Antoninus believed the Empire needed no further conquests. He decided between claimants to the throne of the Bosporan realm whose king was 'Amicus Caesaris et Populi Romani', and supported the people of Olbia against the Scythians. As Hadrian threw himself into the task and built up the basis from which the distant influence could be exerted, Antoninus used up and did not add to the Empire's reserves. While he sought peace, he justified it with the plea of Scipio and Augustus that he would rather save the life of one citizen than slay a thousand enemies. People looked in vain for creative ideas during this quarter of a century of Antoninus's governing. After a short illness he died in peace. The reign of Antoninus was a period of peace and calm. He was an incredible administrator in his time, thus creating an era of prosperity.

In 1201 he was a party to a plea of dower brought by Beatrice de Sutton and her husband William de Kadenay. In 1208 he was vouched by the prior of Hedon to warrant land in Ganstead; and in 1210-11 by fine exchanged with Walter de Ver land in Sproatley for other land in Sproatley and in Goxhill, Lincs. In 1212 and 1214 he was a knight, and in 1213 and 1214 was sued for dower in Goxhill and Sproatley. In 1215/6 he and all his men had letters of safe-conduct to go to G. de Nevill, and he made fine to have the king's grace and good will, and delivered his brother Robert as a hostage. On 25 October 1217 the sheriff of Yorks was notified that he had come into the king's fealty and service. About this time, a dispute arose between him and the monks of Meaux with regard to rights in West Marsh, which gave rise to considerable violence, and was settled by arbitrators appointed by the Pope on 12 October 1218. In 1224, 1237 and 1242 he was in commissions. In 1226-27 he was bailiff of the port of Hull, and in that capacity was directed on January 3 1226/7 to free a captured French ship. In May 1230 he was one of the wardens of the ports and coasts of Yorkshire, and in June was directed to release certain ships. In the time of Michael, Abbot of Meaux, he granted to his eldest son Amand substantial lands in Sutton. Amand, however, entered the Abbey as a novice and there died. The monks produced a charter of Amand, witnessed by William, Count of Aumale, giving to the Abbey with his body the land in question, with other lands. Disputes followed, in the course of which the monks killed one of Sayer's serfs; but, after legal proceedings had been begun, a compromise was reached. After Easter 1246 he recovered by fine against the Archbishop of York the advowson of the chapel of Sutton. There is no record of his marriage or of the date of his death (d).

DESCENDANT OF CHARLEMAGNE

CRUSADER

Ralph founded some religious houses and died on crusade in the Holy Land.

THE CRUSADES
By fighting in a Crusade, people believed they could guarantee a place for themselves in heaven and right the wrongs they had committed in their lives. In 1095, Pope Urban II made a speech that affected many people with the message that it was God's will that the Crusades be carried out. As a result, thousands of knights, peasants and even children prepared to march to Jerusalem and fight.
The main goal of the Crusades was to free Jerusalem. That never happened. Only the 1st and 3rd Crusades could be considered somewhat successful. In the 3rd Crusade, Richard the Lionheart conquered Acre, but failed to take Jerusalem. He did, however, obtain a treaty from Saladin to allow pilgrims to enter the holy city. The fighting in the Crusades was ugly and brutal. When Richard I took Acre, 2,700 Muslim prisoners were slaughtered.

BIOGRAPHY: Edward Baines in his History of Lancashire claims that this (Bury Castle near Manchester) was one of the twelve ancient baronial castles of the County. Following the Norman Conquest Bury had become part of the Montbegon barony and the manor was held by Adam de Bury for 'one knight's fee'. Early in the 14th. century his descendant Alice de Bury married Sir Roger de Pilkington and their son Roger inherited the manors of both Bury and Pilkington.

1st Baron de Knovill

BEWES [BOGO] DE KNOVILL, of Blanchminster (Whitchurch), Salop, of whoseparentage nothing seems to be known (c), being a supporter of the King inthe Barons' War, in 1266 had a grant of lands at Woodford in Northants,which in 1268 were redeemed by the forfeiting owner. In 1266 he washolder of mortgaged lands in Gloucester. King Henry III gave Gravenhill,co. Gloucester, to Bogo de Knovill circa 1270, and in 1271/2 an orderissued to give Bewes de Knovill 3 oaks. From 27 October 1274 to 25October 1278 he was Sherif of cos. Salop and Stafford and keeper of thecastles of Bridgenorth and Shrewsbury. On 19 June 1275 he was appointedkeeper of the manor of Oswestry, and on 10 September of that ofEllesmere, and also of the castle of Montgomery, being mentioned askeeper of this castle in 1277, 1283, 1297, 1299, 1301. He appears to havebeen custodian of Oswestry Castle circa 1275-77. From 16 June 1278 to 7January 1278/9 he was keeper of Dolvoran (Dolforwyn) Castle and land ofKedewy, rendering 100 marks yearly at the Exchequer. From 1279 onwards hewas appointed to various commissions, Oyer and Terminer, &c. He wasappointed Steward of Carmarthen and Cardigan, 30 July 1280, and Justiceof West Wales the same year. In Aug. 1282 he was summoned for militaryservice against the Welsh, and placed under the command of RogerLestrange. He was at Court in June 1284, and had licence 18 June, to felloaks in his wood of Kilcote within the forest of Dean, and on 15 May 1285had a grant of free warren in his demesne lands of Little Taynton, &c. Hewas ordered to reside on his demesnes, presumably in co. Montgomery,1287-88, to resist the attacks of Rhys ap Meredith. In 1290, as theKing's bailiff of Montgomery, he lodged a complaint in Parliament againstEdmund de Mortimer of Wigmore. On 10 August 1292 he had quittance of thecommon summons (of the eyre) in Salop, but in October 1294 was ordered tomuster. under the command of Richard, Earl of Arundel, for the relief ofBere Castle. He was summoned to Parliament from 24 June 1295 to 3November 1306, by writs directed Bogoni de Knoville, whereby he is heldto have become LORD KNOVILL. A similar writ, issued 26 August 1307, wasprobably directed to him in ignorance of his death in the precedingmonth, or may have been intended for his son. On 26 June 1295 he had agrant of the marriage of Thomas, son and heir of John de Verdun, to marryhis daughter Margaret. In July 1297 he was again summoned to performmilitary service in person beyond the seas, and in 1299 be was summonedas a baron for military service in person against the Scots, and again in1300, 1301 and 1303, On 21 May 1300 he was empowered to treat with themen of Montgomery as to the services required of them, and on 7 Junefollowing was ordered to require an aid from the men of South Wales. On12 February 1300/1 he joined in the Barons' letter to the Pope aboutEdward's claims to Scotland, describing himself as Bogo de Knovilldominus de Albomonasterio. In October 1301 he delivered MontgomeryCastle, to his successor, Sir William de Leyburne. On 6 November 1305, inrecognition of his good services, he was granted yearly 100 quarters ofwheat and 6 tuns of wine from the issues of Bristol.

He married, 1stly, before October 1273, Joan, daughter of Cecily(daughter of William WALERAND and) aunt of John WALERAND. He married,2ndly, circa 1276, Alianore, widow of Robert LESTRANGE, and daughter andcoheir of William DE WARENNE, of Blanchminster (Whitchurch), with whom hehad a moiety of Whitchurch. By her he had no issue. She was dead in 1306,and was buried at High Ercall, where her tomb is to be seen. He diedbefore 6 July 1307, date of writ for his inquisition. [CP VII:345-8,(transcribed by Dave Utzinger)]
(c) The Bewes de Knoville who held of the Honour of Striguil when thatHonour had passed from the Marshals to the Bigods, must almost certainlyhave been lineal descendant of the Bewes de Knoville, steward of William,Earl Marshal, who in Jun 1224 had special licence to land at Pagham,Sussex, from abroad, and to return; who in 1215, had an order for seizinof lands in Horseheath, Cambs, and in 1229 was defendant to a plea as toland there. In 1234 he, with a number of other followers of Richard,Earl Marshal, who had rebelled against Henry III the preceding year, hadorders for the restitution of his lands, forfeited for this rebellion, inBeds, Bucks, Cambs, Herts, Northants, and Sussex, upon the Earl'spledging himself for their fidelity.

Note: I don't know why CP uses "Knovill" for the 1st Baron, and then uses"Knoville" (with the "e") for his potential father & grandfather? Arethey just being difficult?

All we know for certain about Jan OP DIJK is his name, and that is based solely on his son Louris' use of the patronymic "Jansen", or "the son of Jan". John is the English equivalent of Jan, as Lawrence is the equivalent of Louris.

We can't say for certain if Jan was really from the Netherlands. If what Louris said about his place of birth being in Husum, Schleswig-Holstein (then under Danish control), the family origins may have been DANISH. Schleswig-Holstein had a habit of not remaining under the control of one country for long stretches of time however, and Germany wanted it. It is possible that the OPDYCK family may have had German origins too. Gysbert Op Dyck was born in Wesel, Germany. Something to think about, but no one knows for sure.

In spite of the above, the research done by Leonard Eckstein Opdycke for publication in "The Op Dyck Genealogy" (1889) uncovered a number of generations of males who used the name "op den Dyck" in the Elburg area back as far as 1355, so the available evidence appears to continue to support the Elburg, Gelderland nesting area for our family.

Bledri ABT 0445/0450 Afallach One theory proposes that Afallach (pronounced "Avalack") is the Welsh king after whom the realm Ynys Afallach is named. Ynys Afallach can be translated as "the realm of Afallach". This is the name of the place where, according to Welsh legend, King Arthur asked to be buried. Ynys can be translated equally as "realm" and "island", and the English mistranslation of Ynys Afallach has become famously enshrined as the "Isle of Avalon". Thus one present historical theory is that Avalon was not an island, but actually the realm of the ancient Welsh King Afallach. 0925 - 0978 Friedrich van Opperlotharingen 53 53 Duke of Bar 0941 - 0987 Beatrix de Bourgogne 46 46 0886 - 0919/0927 Wigerich von Oberlothringen # Name: Wigeric de Treves

Note: Toste (Tosti) was was one of the noblest and most powerful men in Sweden who was not of princely birth. he was a great warrior and had been on many Viking expeditions. King Harald Grenski (father of King Olaf, the Saint) joined in his expeditionsand took refuge with Toste one winter after his father, King Guthroth Bjørnsson was murdered by King Harald Graycloak, and he got to know and desire Toste's daughter Sigrid The Haughty, who turned him down and later had him killed.
He was reported in one csae to have lived at Vikinghøvding in Sweden. In 991 he led an large Swedish army of 25,000 men who hit England at Maeldun (Maldon, at the head of R. Blackwater Inlet about 33 miles NE of the center of London) and got10,000 pounds (about 5 tons) of silver as danegeld. In the English chronicles he was called Iustin.
There is an inscription on a runic stone (Orkesta kyrka stone, Stone U344) from Yttergårde, Uppland, Sweden about son, Ulf, but mentioning Toste, and that he'd been on 3 Viking expeditions to England. There are inscriptions on two other stones: U336 erected by himself (Ulf) and U 343 erected by his children after his death. All 3 probably stood at Bårresta farm.
Stone U 344 (2.5 meters tall): "But Ulv has in England taken three tributes. It was the first paid, that Toste paid. Then paid Torkel. Then paid Knut."
Then there is the Aarhus Stone no. V in Denmark: Toste and Hove and Frebjorn they have erected this stone after (the son of) Sakse, Asser, their fellow, the highly brave man. He died fully as a man of honour. He owned a ship with Arne."

Kelley comments:
"The Ui Bairrcchi or Ui Bairrche are identified by O'Rahilly as the Irish Brigantes, a tribe of British origin, originally dwelling in South Wexford and driven out by the Fothairt and Lagin. 'Their traditional ancestor is Daire Barrach, who is very artificially made on of the sons of Cathaer
Mar' according to O'Rahilly, a view which has some plausibility, but which I do not share."

# Note:
Avitus, in full FLAVIUS MACCILIUS EPARCHUS AVITUS (d. 456), Western Roman emperor (455-456).

Born of a distinguished Gallic family, Avitus was a son-in-law of the Christian writer Sidonius Apollinaris. By taking advantage of his great influence with the Visigoths who were settled at Toulouse, Avitus was able in 451 to persuade their king, Theodoric I, to join the Roman general Aetius in repelling the invasion of Gaul by the Huns under Attila. Avitus was appointed magister utriusque militiae ("master of both services") by the Western emperor Petronius Maximus (reigned 455). When Maximus was killed, the Goths proclaimed Avitus emperor at Toulouse, and this claim was upheld by the Gallo-Romans at Arles. The new emperor proceeded to Rome but was forced by the general Ricimer to abdicate (Oct. 17, 456) and to become bishop of Placentia. [Encyclopaedia Britannica CD '97]

----------

"The next emperor was proclaimed not in Italy but in Gaul. This was Avitus, the friend and nominee of the Visigothic king Theoderic II, who was proclaimed emperor in July 455 at Tolosa (modern Toulouse), where Theoderic had established his court. The following year, however, the Suevian army commander Ricimer rebelled at Ravenna. Avitus marched against him but was captured in battle at Placentia (modern Piacenza) in October 456. Ricimer neutralized him by making him bishop of Placentia, but Avitus was soon forced to flee back to Gaul and died shortly afterwards. Avitus's overthrow and murder was followed by an 18-month interregnum while Ricimer made futile attempts to win recognition for his chosen successor Majorian from the eastern emperor Leo I (457-474)."

Prince of Wales

Upon the death of his father in 844 he became King of Gwynedd. When his
uncle, Cyngen, died in 855 he became King of Powys. When his wife
ANGHARAD's brother, Gwgon, died in 871 he also became ruler of
Seisyllwg. By the time of his death in 877 he ruled over all of Wales
with the exception of the southeastern and southwestern extremities.
Rhodri was a pivotal person in Welsh history. In future centuries, one of
the main requirements for kingship in the Welsh kingdoms was being of
the descent of Rhodri Mawr.
Rhodri's fame sprang from his success as a warrior. It was his victory
over the Viking, Horn, leader of the Danes, in 856 which brought him
international acclaim. The Irish and the Franks had been unsuccessfully
trying to repel the Northmen and they were impessed by Rhodri's
success. The English kingdom of Wessex had for many years been striving
with partial success to subjugate Powys. It was in battle against the
English that Rhodri, along with his son, Gwriad, was killed in 877.
It appears that the Welsh court experienced a cultural revival during
the reign of Rhodri.

Subject: Re: Rhoderic Mawr, King of Wales
"Rhodri Mawr, king of Gwynedd, died in 878. ["Rhoderic" is an
Anglicization of the Welsh name "Rhodri".] Although he was an important
Welsh king, it is not really appropriate to call him the
"first King of Wales", for there were large parts of Wales over which
he did not rule. Most sources give the name of Rhodri's wife as
ANGHARAD, heiress of Ceredigion, and give his mother as NEST, heiress
of Powys, but Patrick Sims-Williams [in the article "Historical Need
and Literary Narrative: a Caveat from Ninth-Century Wales", Welsh
History Review, vol. 17 (1994), pp. 1-40] has recently argued
(conclusively, in my opinion) that neither NEST nor ANGHARAD ever
existed, and that they were inventions of later genealogists who
wanted to give Rhodri's family a line of descent from the earlier
kings of Powys and Ceredigion. Rhodri's ancestry, as taken from the best
records (The Harleian genealogies and the Welsh and Irish
annals), is given in this genealogy. Names are given here in their Old
Welsh forms, with Modern Welsh ["MW"] forms given in brackets.

Eustace de Vesci, who attaining majority in the 2nd Richard I [1191], gave 2,300 marks for the livery of his lands, with liberty to marry whom he pleased. In the 14th King John [1213], when the first commotion arose amongst the barons, the king, hastening to London, summoned all the suspected lords thither and forced each to give hostages for his peaceable demeanor. But this Eustace, one of the most suspected, refused to attend the summons and fled into Scotland, whereupon all his possessions in England were seized upon by the crown and a special command issued to demolish his castle at Alnwick. But a reconciliation between the kind and his turbulent nobles soon afterwards taking place through the influence of the legate Pandulph, Eustace had restitution of his estates. But this was a deceitful calm -- the winds were only stilled to rage with greater violence -- the baronial conflict ere long burst forth more furiously and was only allayed by those concessions on the part of the crown, which have immortalized the plains of Runnymede. The cause of this celebrated quarrel, in which, by the way the people had little or no immediate interest, was doubtless of long standing and was based on the encroachment of the Sovereign on the privileges of the nobility, but the spark that ignited the flame was personal injury; an affront inflicted by King John on this Eustace de Vesci. "Hearing," writes Sir William Dugdale, "that Eustace de Vesci had a very beautiful wife, but far distant from the court, and studying how to accomplish his licentious desires toward her, sitting at table with her husband and seeing a ring on his finger, he laid hold on it and told him that he had another such stone, which he resolved to set in gold in that very form. And having thus got the ring, presently sent it to her in her husband's name, by that token conjuring her, if ever she expected to see him alive, to come speedily to him. She, therefore, upon sight of the ring, gave credit to the messenger and came with all expedition. But it so happened that her husband casually riding out met her on the road, and marvelling much to see her there, asked what the matter was, and when he understood how they were both deluded, resolved to find a common woman and put her in apparel to personate his lady." The king afterwards boasting to the injured husband of the favours he had received, Eustace had the pleasure of undeceiving him, "whereat the king grew so enraged that he threatened to kill him; Eustace, therefore, apprehending danger, hastened into the north, divers of the nobles whose wives they king had vitiated accompanying him. And being grown strong by the confluence of their friends and others, seized his castles, the Londoners adhering to them." When John was subsequently brought to submission, Eustace de Vesci was one of the twenty-five Barons appointed to enforce the observance of Magna Carta, but he was slain soon after, about 1216, by an arrow from the ramparts of Barnard Castle (belonging to Hugh de Baliol), which he had commenced besieging, or was about to attack. He had m. Margaret, natural dau. of William, King of Scotland, and was s. by his son, William de Vesci.

Henry de Windibonk was living ca. 1300 and Robert del Wyndybankes in 1315. Another family called 'of Windibank' existed at Ashton-under -Lyme in 1422.

The Windebanks with whom we are interested appear to have come from Lancashire to Calais in the latter part of the fifteenth century, and they were probably buried in St. Nicholas's Church, Calais, or in the attached chapels of the Ressurrection, Jesus, or St. George. The will of Walter Colepepir of Sevenoaks, Kent, Marshall of the Town of Calais, dated September 14, 1514 was witnessed by the Rev. Robert Windebank, Parson of Colne (presumed to be the parish oand town of Colne in Lancashire) and John Wyndbank, Solgyer of Caleys. Since Robert was a priest, we can assume that John was the father of the earliest proved ancestor.

Margrave in Friesland, Markgraf of the Netherlands,

Most historians who accept this would derive the Popponid Babenburgs from Heinrich I von Babenburg, margrave in Friesland (Frisia), who was killed in battle near Paris on 20 August 886. His first wife was apparently an earlier Judith from the Unruoching family, daughter of the margrave Eberhard of Friuli and Gisela of Francia. Adalbert was the elder of two definite sons of this Heinrich and Judith, and was beheaded with his brother Adalhard at theres am Main on 9 September 906. Adalbert was possibly married (his wife is said to have been a Swabian lady named Brunhilda), but no children are recorded as far as I know. The only male-line descendants that are ascribed to his parents come through the _speculated_ relationship to count Heinrich, grandfather of the brothers Poppo, bishop of Würzburg and Heinrich, archbishop of Trier. Another _speculative_ sibling was Hadwig (b ca 953/5, died 24 December 903), first wife of Otto the Illustrious, duke of the Saxons, who of course has innumerable descendants. [Ref: Peter Stewart 30 Apr 2002]
~0790 - >0860 Poppo 70 70 The earliest known ancestor of the Babenbergs was one Poppo, who early in the 9th century was count in Grapfeld, in the area between modern Hesse and Thuringia. One of his sons, Henry, sometimes called count of the march and duke in Franconia, fell fighting against the Normans in 886; another, Poppo, was count of the march in Thuringia from 880 to 892, when he was deposed by the German Carolingian king Arnulf of Carinthia. The family had been favoured by the emperor Charles the Fat, but Arnulf reversed this policy in favour of the rival family of the Conradines.

The leaders of the Babenbergs were the three sons of Duke Henry, who called themselves after their castle of Babenberg on the upper Main, round which their possessions centred.

The rivalry between the two families was intensified by their efforts to extend their authority in the region of the middle Main, and this quarrel, known as the "Babenberg feud," came to a head at the beginning of the 10th century during the troubled reign of the German king Louis the Child. Two of the Babenberg brothers were killed, and the survivor, Adalbert was summoned before the imperial court by the regent Hatto I, Archbishop of Mainz, a partisan Of the Conradines. He refused to appear, held his own for a time in his castle at Theres against the king's forces, but surrendered in 906, and in spite of a promise of safe-conduct was beheaded.

He married Nefertiti with whom he is thought to have had six daughters (Meritaten, Meketaten, Akhesenpaaten, Nefernefruaten-Tasherit, Nefernefrure, and Setepenre). He moved his capital to the city of Aten Akhetaten (now, Tell el-Amarna) where he worshiped the sun god Aten as the single creator god for which reason he is referred to as the heretic king.

He ruled Egypt during the Eighteenth Dynasty. Smenkhare became his co-regent and may have ruled after him, but Tutankhamen is considered the successor of Amenhotep IV.

# te: It was decreed that no son born to Tiye could inherit the throne. Due to her father's governorship, there was fear that the Israelites were gaining too much power in Egypt. When she became pregnant, the edict was given that her child should be killed at birth if a son. Her Jewish relatives lived at Goshen, and she herself had a summer palace upstream at Zarw, where she went to have the baby. She did indeed bear a son, but the royal midwives conspired with Tiye to float the child downstream in a reed basket to the house of her father's half-brother Levi. 1

Egyptian evidence shows that he led his people south through Sinai, towards Lake Timash. This was extremely marshy territory and, although manageable on foot with some difficulty, any pursuing horses and chariots would have foundered disastrously. Among Moses' retainers were the families of his great-grandfather Israel. At his instigation, the constructed a Tabernacle at the foot of Mount Sinai.

    Moses was the Pharaoh of Egypt ca 1367-1361 BC.

    When Pharoah Tuthmosis died, his son married his sibling sister Sitamun (as was the Pharonic tradition) so that he could inherit the throne as Pharoah Amenhotep III. Shortly afterwards he also married Tiye, daughter of the Chief MInister (Joseph/Yuya). It was decreed, however, that no son born to Tiye could inherit the throne. Because of the overall length of her father Joseph's governorship there was a general fear that the Israelites were gaining too much power in Egypt. So when Tiye became pregnant, the edict was given that her child should be killed at birth if a son. Tiye's Jewish relatives lived at Goshen, and she herself owned a summer palace a little upstream at Sarw, where she went to have her baby. She did indeed bear a son, but the royal midwives conspired with Tiye to float the child downstream in a reed basket to the house of her father's half-brother Levi.

    The boy, Aminadab (born around 1394 BC), was duly educated in the eastern delta country by the Egyptian priests of Ra. In his teenage years, he went to live at Thebes. By that time, his mother had acquired more influence than the senior queen, Sitamun, who had never borne a son and heir to the Pharoah, only a daughter who was called Nefertiti. In Thebes, Aminadab could not accept the notion of Aten, an omnipresent God who had no image. Aten was thus an equivalent of the Hebrew "Adonai" (a title borrowed from the Phoenician and meaning 'Lord') in line with Israelite teachings. At that time Aminadab (Hebrew equivalent of Amenhotep - 'Amun is pleased') changed his name to Akhenaten (servant of Aten).

    Pharoah Amenhotep then suffered a period of ill health. Because there was no direct male heir to the royal house, Akhenaten married his half-sister Nefertiti in order to rule as co-regent during this difficult time. When in due course Amenhotep III died, Akhenaten was able to succeed as Pharoah - officially called Amenhotep IV.

    Akhenaten and Nefertiti had six daughters and a son, Tutankhaten. Pharoah Akhenaten closed all the temples of the Egyptian gods and built new temples to Aten. He also ran a household that was distinctly domestic - quite different from the kingly norm in ancient Egypt. On many fronts, he became unpopular - particularly with the priests of the former national deity Amun (or Amen) and of the sun god Ra (or Re). Plots against his life proliferated. Loud were the threats of armed insurrection if he did not allow the traditional gods to be worshipped alongside the faceless Aten. but Akhenaten refused, and was eventually forced to abdicate in short-term favour of his cousin Smenkhkare, who was succeeded by Akhenaten's son Tutankhaten. On taking the throne at the age of about 11, Tutankhaten was obliged to change his name to Tutankhamun. He, in turn, was only to live and rule for a further nine or ten years, meeting his death while still comparatively young.

    Akhenaten, meanwhile, was banished from Egypt. He fled with some retainers to the remote safety of Sanai, taking with him his royal sceptre topped with a brass serpent. To his supporters, he remained very much the rightful monarch, the heir to the throne from which he had been ousted, and he was still regarded by them as the Mose, Meses or Mosis (heir/born of) - as in Tuthmosis (born of Tuth) and Rameses (fashioned of Ra).

    Evidence from Egypt indicates that Moses (Akhenaten) led his people from Pi-Rameses (near modern Kantra) southward, through Sanai, towards Lake Timash. This was extremely marshy territory and, although manageable on foot with some difficulty, any pursuing horses and chariots would have foundered disastrously.

    Among the retainers who fled with Moses were the sons and families of Jacob (Israel). Then at the instigation of their leader, they constructed the tabernacle at the foot of Mount Sanai. Once Moses had died, they began their invasion of the country left by their forefathers so long before. But Canaan (Palestine) had changed considerably in the meantime, having been infiltrated by waves of Philistines and Phoenicians. The records tell of great sea battles, and of massive armies marching to war. At length, the Hebrews (under their new leader, Joshua) were successful and, once across the Jordan, they took Jericho from the Canaanites, gaining a real foothold in their traditional Promised Land.

    Following Joshua's death, the ensuing period of rule by appointed 'judges' was a catalogue of Jewish disaster until the disparate Hebrew tribes united under their first king, Saul, in about 1055 BC. with the conquest of Palestine (Canaan) as complete as possible, David of Bethlehem - a descendant of Abraham - married Saul's daughter to become King of Judah (corresponding to half the Palestinian territory). By 1048 BC, he had also acquired Israel (the balance of the territory) becoming overall King of the Jews.

    The legend of the Exodus: Moses' birth and education (from the King James Version of the Holy Bible):

    Exodus 2
    1 And there went a man of the house of Levi, and took to wife a daughter of Levi.
    2 And the woman conceived, and bare a son: and when she saw him that he was a goodly child, she hid him three months.
    3 And when she could not longer hide him, she took for him an ark of bulrushes, and daubed it with slime and with pitch, and put the child therein; and she laid it in the flags by the river's brink.
    4 And his sister stood afar off, to wit what would be done to him.
    5 And the daughter of Pharaoh came down to wash herself at the river; and her maidens walked along by the river's side; and when she saw the ark among the flags, she sent her maid to fetch it.
    6 And when she had opened it, she saw the child: and, behold, the babe wept. And she had compassion on him, and said, This is one of the Hebrews' children.
    7 Then said his sister to Pharaoh's daughter, Shall I go and call to thee a nurse of the Hebrew women, that she may nurse the child for thee?
    8 And Pharaoh's daughter said to her, Go. And the maid went and called the child's mother.
    9 And Pharaoh's daughter said unto her, Take this child away, and nurse it for me, and I will give thee thy wages. And the women took the child, and nursed it.
    10 And the child grew, and she brought him unto Pharaoh's daughter, and he became her son. And she called his name Moses: and she said, Because I drew him out of the water.

Ramesses V is thought to have reigned no more than four years. He was the son of Ramesses IV and Queen Ta-Opet. The mummy was found in the tomb of Amenophis II and is now located in the Cairo Museum. The mummy shows that he died of smallpox at about the age of 35. His tomb was unfinished and was in the Biban el-Moluk, but was annexed by Ramesses VI. All that is found of his reign is a stela that was discovered at Gebel Silsilh.
D. 1147 BC Rameses Pharoah of Egypt Acceded BET 1153 BC AND 1147 BC

He did survive the harem conspiracy which was designed to spoil his claims to the throne. He placed a document in the tomb of his father which is now known as the Papyrus Harris I, that gives an elaborate account of the reign of Ramesses III. Ramesses IV is thought to have been in his forties when he became king. There are two stele that were found at Abydos by Mariette that proclaim his piety and exceptional devotion to the gods. The quarrying of the stone is said to have involved more than 8,000 people. Ramesses IV caused the high-priest Mont , as well as other capable officials and scribes to visit the site. There were 5,000 soldiers that were most likely sent to haul the huge stones over the rough desert roads. He is also known for the continuation of the Khonsu at Karnak, which was begun by his father, Ramesses III. A temple at Asasif, which is on the western bank of the Nile at Thebes, was erected by Ramesses.

The story of the Ramessid kings following  Ramesses III is one of decline and the end of the great empire ruled under the rule of Egyptians. Afterwards, Egypt would mostly be ruled by foreigners of one kind or another.

However, Ramesses III's son, probably by either Queen Isis or Queen Titi, did seem to have enjoyed a fairly prosperous, albeit short reign. Of course, we know from many other kings during this period that his birth name, Ramesses, means "Re has Fashioned Him". His throne name, Heqamaatre means "Ruler of Justice like Re. We know that he had a chief wife named Tentopet, who was buried in QV74 in the Valley of the Queens, as little else of his family is known.

Ramesses IV became crown prince in the twenty-two of his father's reign. Though only the fifth son of his Ramesses III, his four older brother's predeceased their father. Whether or not he ruled as a co-regent of his father, during the closing years of Ramesses III's life, his son took on increasing responsibilities. For example, as early as year 27 of Ramesses III's reign, he Ramesses IV is depicted as being responsible for the appointment of one Amenemopet as the High Priest of Mut at Karnak.

Some scholars maintain that it was Ramesses IV who resided over the court that tried those arrested in the "Harem Conspiracy" involving his father, but this is by no means certain. His father may, or may not have survived that conspiracy, but irregardless, it is clear that the assassination attempt was aimed at eliminating Ramesses IV as the crown prince. Obviously, this did not take place. 

Though little in the way of military action can be documented during Ramesses IV's reign, there is some slight evidence of a sea action, in Ramesses IV's third year, perhaps with the Sea People that were such a bother to his father. And though we know of the viceroy of Nubia, one Hori II, who's father had served under Siptah at the end of the 19th Dynasty, there is little other evidence for Ramesses IV's activities outside Egypt proper.

We do know, from several inscribed stele in the Wadi Hammamat, that he sent large expeditions out to obtain good stone for statues. One of these included 8,368 men, that included some 2,000 soldiers. Prior to this, little activity had taken place at Wadi Hammamat prior to the reign of Seti I. Apparently the soldiers were not sent so much to defend the workmen, but rather to control them.

We also find recorded expeditions to the turquoise mines at Serabit el-Khadim in the Sinai, as well as southern campaigns into Nubia as far south as the fort of Buhen, that lies just north of the Second Cataract (rapids) on the Nile River.

He was also responsible, together with his father, for major work on enlargement of the temple of Khonsu at Karnak. He also apparently at least began a mortuary temple, intended to be even larger than that of his father's, near the temple of Hatshepsut. There is another, smaller temple associated with him north of Medinet Habu, of which even less is known. It has been suggested that the larger temple was abandoned for the less demanding size of the smaller. In addition, he is attested to by a stela at Koptos and from other smaller monuments in the Sinai, as well as a statue from Memphis and an Obelisk from Heliopols.

Due to his building actives, he apparently increased, and perhaps even doubled, the work force at Deir el-Medina. However, as at the end of his father's reign, further delays in the delivery of basic commodities needed by these workmen occurred, that, in hindsight at the end of the 20th Dynasty, can be seen to have had a significant impact on the demise of the Egyptian Empire. These problems coincided with the growing influence of the High Priest of Amun. Ramesesnakht, the older of that high office, was soon accompanying the state officials when they went to pay the men their monthly rations, which indicates that probably the temple of Amun, and not the Egyptian state itself, was now at least partially responsible for their wages.

In fact, Ramesesnakht controlled a powerful family consisting of many priests in the temple of Amun. His son, Usermaatranakht was "steward of the estate of Amun" and as such, he not only controlled a vast Temple estate, but also a majority of the state owned land in Middle Egypt. The High Priest of Amun was now a hereditary position, and its heirs would become more and more independent of the king so that by the time of Ramesses XI at the end of the 20th Dynasty, the Egypt would finally be divided between the High Priests at Thebes and the Lower Egyptian King, resulting in the Third Intermediate Period.

Despite all of the good work for the gods and his prayer to Osiris for a long reign [as my predecessor],  recorded on a stele discovered by Mariette at Abydos that dates to year four of Ramesses IV's  reign, the king died after only about six years on the throne. He was succeeded on the throne by a brother who continued the line of Ramessid names (Ramesses V). Ramesses IV was buried on the West Bank of ancient Thebes (modern Luxor) just outside the earlier main grouping of tombs in the Eastern Valley of the Kings in KV2, but his body was later discovered in the royal cache unearthed in the tomb of Amenhotep II (KV35) and is now in the Egyptian Antiquities Museum in Cairo.

St. Ceneu (Welsh-Cenyw, Latin-Ceneus, English-Kenneth), King of
NorthernBritain, born c. 382. Ceneu was an early King of
Northern Britain, theheir of Coel Hen (the Old). His Kingdom
stretched from Coast to Coast.Ceneu appears to have been
canonized because he upheld the old Christianways while under
intense pressure from invading pagans. High-KingVortigern's
policy of employing Saxon mercenaries to defeat Britishenemies
meant that, for most of his reign, Ceneu was obliged to
acceptthe help of the Saxons, Octha and Ebissa, in pushing back
invading Pictsfrom his kingdom. Their interference was widely
resented and it was notuntil after the Kentish rebellion that
they were finally brought undercontrol. Magnanimous in victory,
Ceneu allowed the Saxons to settle inDeywr (Deira - East
Yorkshire). Ceneu appears in Geoffrey of Monmouth'sHistory of
the Kings of Britain as having attended the coronation of
thegreat King Arthur. if so, he must have lived to an extreme
old age. Uponhis death, Ceneu's kingdom was divided between his
two sons, Gwrast andMor. Gwrast took the western lands
stretching from the Salway to theMersey, while Mor inherited
the central kingdom around the old capital,Ebrauc (York).

Coel Hen, King of Northern Britain (c.350-c.420)
(Welsh-Coel,Latin-Coelius, English-Cole). Coel Hen or Coel the
Old is known to mostof us through the famous nursery rhyme: Old
King Cole was a merry old soul And a merry old soul was he. He
called for his pipe, And he called for his bowl, And he called
for his fiddlers, three. He is also a familiar figure in
ancient Welsh genealogies, for most ofthe Celtic British
monarchies claimed descent from him in one form oranother. He
appears to have lived around the turn from the 4th to the
5thcentury, the time when the Roman officials returned to
Italy, leavingBritain and her people to fend for themselves.
Coel's particularassociation with the north of Britain has led
to the suggestion that hemay actually have been the last of the
Roman Duces Brittanniarum with hisheadquarters at York. He
certainly imposed his power over a great swatheof the country,
and can be considered the first King in Northern Britain.(This
Coel should not be confused with the legendary Coel Godhebog
'theMagnificent', Lord of Colchester, whose daughter, St.
Helen, supposedlymarried the Emperor Constantius Chlorus two
centuries earlier.) There is an old story told in the north
about Coel's last campaign. Whatis now Scotland was originally
inhabited by the Pictish race. It wasduring Coel's time that
immigrant Irishmen from the Scotti tribe began tosettle the
Western coast around Argyle. Coel, fearing that the twopeoples
would unite against the British, sent raiding parties across
hisnorthern border to stir up discord between them. The plan,
however,backfired for the Picts and the Scots were not taken
in. Coel merelysucceeded in pushing the two even closer
together, and they began toattack the British Kingdom of
Strathclyde. Coel declared all out war andmoved north to expel
the invaders. The Picts and Scots fled to the hillsahead of
Coel's army, who eventually set up camp at what became
Coyltonalongside the Water of Coyle (Ayrshire). For a long
time, the Britishwere triumphant, while the Scots and Picts
starved. Desperate for somerelief, however, the enemy advanced
an all-or-nothing attack on Coel'sstronghold. Coel and his men
were taken by surprise, overrun andscattered to the winds. It
is said that Coel wandered the unknowncountryside until he
eventually got caught in a bog at Coilsfield (inTarbolton,
Ayrshire) and drowned. Coel was first buried in a mound
therebefore being removed to the church at Coylton. The year
was about AD 420.After his death, Coel's Northern Kingdom was
divided between two of hissons, Ceneu and Gorbanian. [David

Here Ithobal became to be priest-king. It was not easy to rule over an independently minded population. Ithobal succeeded in checking the advance of the Assyrians. He made an alliance with King Ahab of Israel who married his daughter Jezebel. The prolonged drought, which the Bible tells us afflicted Israel during the El Amarna age, the age of Ahab and Jezebel, was felt in Phoenicia too. King Ethbal performed a great heathen ceremony to escape the drought. He led his people in a procession about Tyre and did the terrible dead to offer little children to an idol of stone, made by human hands, under the vain expectation to receive the idols help. It was at this same time that Elijah slew the prophets of Baal in Israel after their vain efforts to try and get a mute, stone faced god to help their cause. Here we have an occasion which shows to what depths of depravity heathen beliefs will sink when they forsake the living Creator God, ruler of the universe.

(Latin-Brocanus,English-Brecon). St. Brychan Brycheiniog was
the son of King Anlach ofGarthmadrun by Marchel, heiress of
that kingdom. Perhaps he was afreckled baby as his name
implies. Brychan was born in Ireland but, soonafterward, his
parents moved Wales, to Y Fenni-Fach, then Marchel'shomeland of
Garthmadrun. At the age of four, Brychan was sent to betutored
by a holy-man named Drichan beside the River Ysgir. Seven
yearsBrychan was schooled in the ways of the World, before the
poor blindDrichan finally called Brychan to bring him his
trusty spear for the lasttime. With it, he pointed to a nearby
boar and a stag who came from theforest to stand with a fish in
the river, by a beech-tree dripping withhoney; and Drichan
predicted a happy and abundant future for the youngBrychan. A
few years later, war broke out between Anlach and Banadl, the
usurpingIrish King of Powys. The fight did not go well for
Anlach, and he wasforced to send Brychan to Powys as a hostage
in order to protect hislands. Brychan was treated well at the
Irishman's court, but he fellmadly in love with his host's
daughter, Banhadlwedd. The match wasfrowned upon and, overcome
with lust, Brychan took the poor girl byforce. Before Brychan
was sent back to Gathmadrun at the end of the War,the Irish
Princess bore him a son named Cynog. Brychan gave his child
agolden armilla as a sign of his paternal recognition. Back in
Garthmadrun, Anlach eventually died and the nobles raised
Brychanto the Kingship. From Talgarth, his reign was
triumphant, as Drichan hadpredicted, and the people decided to
rename the Kingdom Brycheiniog inhis honour. He was a saintly
King dedicated to the Christian Church andits teachings. He
married three times and had so many saintly children,they are
almost impossible to count. The most popular figure
istwenty-four sons and twenty-four daughters. Together they are
known asone of the 'Holy Families of Britain'. Despite his
piety, Brychan was not above defending his lands or hisfamily
when the need arose. One of his eldest daughters, Gwladys,
wasonce abducted by King Gwynllyw of Gwynllwg. Brychan and his
armiespursued them for many days and many nights before a
horrendous battle wasfought at which many men fell. Luckily,
the High-King Arthur intervenedand the two Welsh Monarchs were
soon reconciled. On another occasion, theKing of Dyfed (or
Gwynedd) raided Brychan's Kingdom in order to dispel aboast by
one of his countrymen that no spoil could ever be taken
fromBrychan's land. When the King of Brycheiniog discovered
this treachery,he led his armies to a great battle victory,
after which the dismemberedlimbs of the enemy were collected as
trophies! In old age he is believed to have abdicated the
throne of Brycheniog inorder to become a hermit. Professor
Thomas suggests that his life at thisperiod should be
identified with that of his so-called son, St. Nectan.He died
at a great age in the mid-5th century and was buried on
YnysBrychan (Lundy Island). [David Nash Ford, Early British

Death: Killed by Capellinius of Numidia, who with the 3rd legion, crushed the revolt.

Biography: During his time in Africa, one of Maximinus' procurators was squeezing the local landowners for all the taxes he coudl get out of them. The emperor's military campaigns were costly and consumed vast amounts of money. But in the province of Africa things finally boiled over. Landowners near Thysdrus (El Djem) revolted, and rose up with their tenants. The hated tax collector and his guards were overcome and killed. Gordian's duties were clear. He was obliged to restore order and crush this tax revolt. The people of the province had only one chance of avoiding Rome's wrath. And that was to incite their governor to revolt. And so they proclaimed Gordian emperor. At first their governor was reluctant to accept but on 19 March AD 238 he agreed to his elevation to the rank of Augustus and only a few days later, having returned to Carthage, he appointed his son of the same name as co-emperor.

MISC: Led the first colony of CYMRI (or Welsh) in 1800 B.C. from Defrobane (Constantinople) into Britain.

He was contemporaneous with Abraham. Led the first colony of CYMRI (Welsh) in 1800 B.C. from Defrogane (Constantinople) into Britain.

The Celtic (Keltic)-Saxon (Isaacs Sons)-Scandinavian race originated from the northern kingdom of Samaria, where they were first led by Epahraim to the Isles of the West (Britain).

It was their custom to always carry a replica of the Ark of the Covenant. They built alters along the way. The Ephraimites were the true warrior tribe of Israel, the Defenders of the Faith, as they are today.

"British" means a covenant man or woman. Cymric was their mother tongue and each practiced the Druidric religion, to which all paid tithe.

Druidism was nationally organized under the capable leadership of Hu Gadarn, circa 1800 B.C., the period given for the erection of Stonehenge, which is ascribed to Hu Gadarn, "The Mighty".

Of all the peoples of the earth, the only existing faith that was prepared beforehand to accept Christ, and the only people to know His name and to speak it before Christ was born, were the British Druids.

Just as the Kymri of Britain assumed the name of British, so did the old Ephraimite Israelites elect to be known as Saxons, the name which both concealed and revealed the name of Isaac. Isaacs Sons (Saxons).

Peter Barttlet of Australia says: "the elder son of Adam de Berthelot was named Robertus de Bartelot and is thus recorded in two 11th century documents that help to explain why, upon the death of his father, Robert gave up his birthright in favour of a younger brother, Radolphus (Ralph) who promptly adopted the name (de Stopham) by which the land grant the family then occupied was known and with it a somewhat different coat-of-arms, thus helping researchers to distinguish between the two brothers and their descendants. Robert chose a more adventurous and rewarding life with the de Brionne family, accepting his father's responsibilities as Earl Guido de Brionne's (of Brionne Castle, Liseux) trusted Esquire, but which Adam could no longer fulfill as a grantee of land owing fealty to the Lords of Arundel Castle."
ABT 1046/1060 - 1077 Adam Barttelot It is to Liseux and the country surrounding it along the River Touques in Normandy that we must turn to pick-up the thread of our history, for it was there in the fateful year 1066 that Adam de Berthelot was living as a minor nobleman.
Liege overlord for the district was Count Guido de Brionne - a member of the de Brionne family, Dukes of Burgundy - whose castle known as "Brionne" stood a mile or so from Liseux and is to-day harked by the small town of the same name. Not far away there also lived the Montgomery family, close friends of Guillaume, Duke of Normandy, and as will be seen as this history unfolds the Roger de Montgomery from here was to become an influential friend of those close to him after the Norman invasion of England, where this same Roger became known as "Arundel".
When the Duke of Normandy took the decision to carry out that invasion and gathered together an army for the purpose, virtually all who owed him allegiance (as well as others invited to participate for a share in the spoils!) were called upon to assemble, bringing with them men and materials.
Among those so commanded was Guido de Brionne, who in turn gathered together all those sworn to serve him: it is known that one of these was Adam de Berthelot, who is understood to have been chosen by de Brionne as his personal esquire as well to have brought family retainers with him. That appointment as esquire demanded a rather special oath of fealty and service to be sworn by Adam, carrying with it as was the custom a two-way obligation on the part of both de Brionne and Berthelot.
When the invading army was assembled, de Brionne and his contingent, including Adam de Berthelot was put under the immediate command of Robert de Mortaine but in what we might term the division led by Odo, Bishop of Bayeux. Robert and Odo were brothers and, importantly for their future and the future of those close to them, were also half-brothers trusted by the Duke of Normandy. After the successful invasion of England these family connections were to prove extremely beneficial to Berthelot and others.
And so it was that when the Normans came ashore on the beaches of Pevensey near Hastings in Sussex, on Michaelmas Day 29th September 1066, not only was the name Berthelot amongst them, but with him, the coat-of-arms bearing the left handed glove commemorating the event of two hundred years earlier.
The bloody battle of Hastings that followed ended as history tells us, with the death of Harold Godwinnson who had claimed the English throne for himself, and a great many killed and wounded on both sides. The Anglo-Saxon army was defeated, with the invaders in control of key parts of England from which to set about the country's complete subjugation.
This was not achieved quickly however; those to whom land and property belonged continued to resist Normans who came to take it away, whilst there was still plenty of fight left in other parts with tribes of Wales, Clans in Scotland and marauding Scandinavians ever eager to take advantage of any opportunities to plunder!
Even before being crowned King of England, Duke Guillaume had made plans for exercising the controls he knew were essential in a conquered country, and he wasted no time putting these in place. He did not disband all his army but retained the best fighting men and their commanders when he could be sure would carry out his wishes.
The record shows that Adam de Berthelot was amongst the first to be given land, receiving 6000 acres along the River Arun in Sussex, stretching from Northam to, and including, the hamlet of Stopham after which the estate was named. That he was not retained for military service and got the grant so soon and able to take up residence there not long after, all point to him having received injuries in the battle severe enough to incapacitate him, whilst the nature of the grant suggests he enjoyed influential patronage presumably from de Brionne and Mortaine since the Roger de Montgomery, also in their company, was given the huge estates that became part and parcel of the Earldom of Arundel, making him a next-door neighbour to Adam de Berthelot in Sussex!
However there is another dramatic piece of evidence of the regard with which Adam must have been held, this being the inclusion of his name upon the list of those chosen by King William himself to make up what was termed his "Roll of Honour" and accordingly inscribed upon the walls of the Abbey the King had built at Hastings to -for ever- commemorate both his victory there and those who had served him well in the battle that is, upon the walls of Battel (sic) Abbey.
Readers will have noted the change in spelling of "Guillaume" to "William", and this brings us to so many of the changes made in England to Norman names as the result of the Anglo-Saxon scribes putting into written form the sounds being heard out of Norman mouths.
Not just the King's name was Anglicised but so also were such others as de Brionne, which became "de Bryan"; Mortaine that ultimately became "Martyn"... and de Berthelot that became "de Bartelot"!
With no more than a few thousand men to control the whole of England, the King introduced a system that centralised his authority in a way never before achieved, and which turned into a single, cohesive nation those who had previously bickered and fought amongst themselves. What he did was to remain in place for hundreds of years, bringing about a social structure clearly recognisable today.
Annulling all existing land and property ownership, and after declaring one-third of all England to be "Royal Estate" owned by the Crown, King William then gave the remaining two-thirds to only eleven Normans either related or trusted and close friends.
Those so chosen became immediately extremely powerful, with vast estates that included control and authority over the people that lived within their boundaries, and presenting what on its face was an enormous administrative responsibility for them.
The King was both a realist and a pragmatist: he knew that in a newly conquered country still in a state of flux, attitudes and loyalties could change very quickly... Especially towards himself! He did two things that, above all else, ensured the continuation of his new system of governing England.
The first of these was to make very sure that each of the eleven received individual estates that were not only relatively small but separated from the rest by distance and scattered all over England, making it impossible for any of them to collect together a very large force without knowledge of it reaching royal ears!
The difficulties of looking after so many relatively small estates all over the place the King overcame by giving permission to these eleven premier Earls and Dukes the right to themselves appoint "household knights" who could be sworn to loyalty to their respective overlords. And to give to these knights and their descendants properties which, in effect, were then held by grace of that overlord. The Knights became responsible for administering and looking after such grants and for collection of taxes demanded by the Earl or Duke from whom the grant was received.
This tiered arrangements known as the "Feudal System", enabled the King to impose taxes and manpower needs upon the eleven who in turn imposed them... plus whatever was required for their own upkeep... upon the enfeoffed Knights.
It was within this scenario that Adam de Bartelot and other Normans proceeded to make new lives in an atmosphere that would have been largely hostile and made it essential for the possession of land to remain in their hands. It was to remain a matter of tradition for a long time, that no Norman male property owner should permit a daughter to marry an Anglo-Saxon for fear of this situation changing. Generally at first there were very few marriages to local women either because of this matter of land ownership or as the result of distrust and dislike for the conquerors, although this disappeared after a while.
Given these attitudes, and knowing from records that at the time of his death Adam had two sons at least in England, both old enough to hold property, it can be assumed that he was joined at Stopham by a wife who came from Liseux. The couple may well have had other offspring but if so nothing has been recorded to evidence this was the case.
In order to trace the path which is to lead us to America we shall be concentrating upon these two sons of Adam, the elder of whom was baptised Robert with his younger brother named Radolphus, more familiarly recorded as "Ralph", but before doing this - and because of the long-term effects the bonds first forged between Adam and the de Bryans were to have upon all that followed, it is necessary for us to achieve a more detailed appreciation of just what happened to Guy de Bryan and his family.
As is known, de Bryan was one of those retained by the King to Command his soldiers and this is evidenced clearly in the then contemporary "Anglo-Saxon Chronicles" begun in the reign of King Alfred (871-99) and completed in 1154.
Those chronicles tell us of the landing at the mouth of the River Taw in North Devon of an Irish army under the leadership of dead Harold Godwinnson's sons in the year 1069... only three years after the Norman arrival. When King William heard of that landing he ordered Guy de Bryan to march there with all haste and to drive the Irish off. The Chronicles report:-
"After this came Harold's sons from Ireland at Midsummer with sixty-four
ships into the mouth of the Taw and went unexpectedly inland. Earl Bryan
came upon them unawares with no small host, fought with them and killed
all the best men in that fleet, the other small host fled out to the ships.. and
Harold's sons went back to Ireland."

It was certainly a victory for Earl de Bryan.. but one for which he, and many of his male successors, were to pay dearly, for not only was he immediately sent off to fight the Welsh but the precedent was set for future de Bryans to be consistently and repeatedly called upon to serve their monarchs in army or navy until finally no males remained to carry on the de Bryan name!
Just how far this tradition influenced the family's future is no better illustrated than by King Edward I's elevation of the then Guy de Bryan to the rank of "Baron Tallatharn" with the gift to him of Tallatharn Castle in the Marches of Wales... along with a command that de Bryan not leave the place until the Welsh tribes had been subdued! As we know that was to take centuries! Historical records naming de Bryans and their achievements leave no doubt but that their menfolk were allowed scant time to look after either their families or their many estates.
In spite of the family's relatively short period of existence that so much information should exist about it is due to its eminence as soldiers etc.; in similar circumstances other families have virtually disappeared from the record books without trace!
From the list of properties (and it is unlikely to be complete) owned by the de Bryans, it can be seen that they were widely distributed and would have required some form of localised supervision in nearly each case; besides which those were extremely dangerous times when there was always someone ready to take advantage of any failure by landowners to safeguard their properties. It follows without question that de Bryans not only had to appoint others to do this in their name, but because of their own absences that those chosen to do this could be entirely trusted. It has to be remembered that in the de Bryans' case it was often not just property that had to be protected, but their womenfolk and children!
With Guy de Bryans esquire and special companion, Adam de Bartelot, now a landowner himself - and in any event incapacitated - it was logical and in complete accord with fealty expectations that the father's sworn duty should be undertaken by his elder son, Robert. Probably so much a matter of honour as to make refusal unthinkable, nevertheless the promise of adventure and personal advancement that would surely have accompanied a position of such trust must have looked irresistible to any young Norman man whose father was still alive and occupying the family estate.
We should here take note of some of the marriages entered into by members of the de Bryan family because of what these tell us about its standing and influence.. factors that would have loomed large to Robert.
Elizabeth de Bryan married William Montacute, Earl of Salisbury; Maude de Bryan married Nicholas Martyn (Mortaine) of Waterston Manor, Piddleton, Dorset, an estate to figure large in our story; Phillipa married (i) Sir John Devereux & (ii) Sir Henry le Scrope; Elizabeth wed Sir Robert Lovell and her daughter, Matilda, became Countess of Arundel; whilst Avril married the Earl of Wiltshire and Ormond. Such connections were capable of extending family influence to the monarchy itself!
It can come as no surprise to anyone that Robert chose as he did by accepting - as his father had done before him - a role of trusted steward to the de Bryan family with the power to assure the continuation of loyalty to that family by his appointment of his own sons and relatives to the various estates.
The scenario represented by what we now know includes Adam's death circa 1077, agreement between his two sons by which the younger was given the family property, Stopham, by the elder Robert who was already sworn to serve the de Bryans and had elected to continue with them. It should also be noted that Robert even permitted his young brother Ralph to take unto himself the descriptive title "de Stopham" as well as a separate coat-of-arms in which the traditional three left-handed gloves were replaced by crescents. Because crescents are the correct "blazons" to be used by younger sons, this substitution was entirely correct.
In effect, what had taken place was the establishment of two branches of the same family - one continuing to use the family name de Bartelot with the other able to describe itself as "de Stopham"; each had its own coat-of-arms but sharing the same descent.
Although this might cause some minor confusion for the researcher, it became resolved and clarified in 1379 when Joan de Stopham married her cousin John de Bartelot and both took up residence at Stopham to adopt a coat-of-arms composed of both gloves and the crescents as a quartering.
Adam de Berthelott was seventh in descent from Prince Berthelot, nephew to Charlemagne.

Constantius' Early Life and Marriage
Born March 31st, Emperor Flavius Valerius Constantius may have come into the world ca. 250. His family was from Illyricum. In the army he served as a protector, tribunus, and a praeses Dalmatiarum. During the 270s or the 280s, he became the father of Constantine by Helena, his first spouse. By 288 he was the Praetorian Prefect of the western emperor Maximianus Herculius.[[1]]

Constantius' Reign as Caesar
Constantius I CHLORUS ("The Pale"), original name FLAVIUS VALERIUS CONSTANTIUS (d. summer 306, Eboracum, Britain [now York, North Yorkshire, Eng.]), Roman emperor and father of Constantine I the Great. As a member of a four-man ruling body (tetrarchy) created by the emperor Diocletian, Constantius held the title caesar from 293 to 305 and caesar augustus in 305-306.

Of Illyrian descent, Constantius had a distinguished military career before serving as governor of Dalmatia (in modern Croatia). In 289 he renounced his wife, Helena, mother of Constantine, and married Theodora, the stepdaughter of the emperor Maximian. Four years later Constantius was adopted by Maximian and made his caesar. The two men, together with Diocletian and his caesar,
Galerius, formed the tetrarchy.

Constantius was assigned to rule Gaul and ordered to subdue Marcus Aurelius Carausius, a usurper in Britain. In 293 he captured Carausius' mainland base, Gesoriacum (modern Boulogne, Fr.). Three years later he invaded Britain and defeated and killed Allectus, who had murdered Carausius and succeeded him in power. Constantius then set about restoring frontier defenses. He took strong measures to eliminate Frankish and Saxon piracy, and in 298 he triumphed over the Alemanni in Gaul. His enforcement of Diocletian's edicts (303) against the Christians was deliberately lax; he demolished some churches but did not execute believers. When Diocletian and Maximian abdicated on May 1, 305, Constantius became the senior emperor in the West. He died the following year, and his troops proclaimed Constantine emperor. [Encyclopaedia Britannica CD '97, CONSTANTIUS I]
Theodora Theodora was the step-daughter of the emperor Maximianus, and thus putting aside Helena and marrying her (probably in about 289) made good political sense for Constantius Chlorus. Constantius became Caesar on his father-in-law's abdication. Theodora's marriage did, of course, gain her children and grand-children the enmity of St. Helena, who long outlived her rival.
Theodora bore Constantius six children, including a daughter Anastasia ("Resurrection"), whose name is offered as evidence by those proposing Constantius I Chlorus as a Christian, or at least a Christian sympathizer. Among her other children was a son Julius Constantius, the father of Gallus and Julian. She was half-sister to Constantine I's wife, Fausta.

Born in the Roman province of Pannonia, he was, from the age of 7 to 17, a hostage at the court of the Byzantine Empire in Constantinople (present-day Istanbul). In 474 Theodoric was elected king after his father's death, and during the following 14 years he and the Byzantine emperor Zeno engaged in alternate warfare and alliance. In 488, under the auspices of Zeno, Theodoric invaded Italy. He defeated Odoacer, the first Germanic ruler of Italy, in three decisive battles and blockaded him in Ravenna. In 493, when all of Italy had been subdued by Theodoric, Odoacer surrendered and was treacherously slain by the Ostrogothic king. Theodoric then assumed the leadership of Italy and made Ravenna his capital.
Theodoric's reign of 33 years was devoted primarily to the consolidation and development of his new kingdom, and it was a period of nearly unprecedented peace and prosperity in Italy. He zealously promoted agriculture and commerce. Although himself an Arian Christian, he exhibited an unusual tolerance for all other Christian sects. The government was administered by Romans on Roman lines; separate codes of law were used for Romans and Goths. Among the Romans who held high office under Theodoric were the statesmen Anicius Boethius and Flavius Cassiodorus; Boethius, however, incurred the suspicion of the monarch toward the end of his reign and was executed for treason. Theodoric's last years were also marred by growing tension with the anti-Arian Byzantine emperor Justinian I. Theodoric was succeeded by his daughter Amalasuntha as regent for her son Athalaric. The magnificent mausoleum of Theodoric still stands in Ravenna.

Shebaka was the first king of the 25th Dynasty. During his reign, he undertook some building projects. The Fourth Pylon at Karnak has an inscription that tells of Shebaka's restoration of the gate. He also started work on the second pylon in front of the temple of Tuthmosis III at Medinet Habu. Shebaka's sister, Amunirdis I held a position that was very important politically as well as religiously. She was called God's wife of Amun at Thebes.

ruled Gwynedd 1081-1137

Prince of Gwynedd

Ruled Gwynedd 1081-1137. From www.britannia.com/history/monarchs/gwyn.html
From www.castlewales.com/cynan.html:

The power of Gwynedd was shattered in 1063 when the Saxon earl Harold (later king Harold I), drove his army into north Wales and defeated Gruffydd ap Llywelyn, the last high king of Wales, a defeat which resulted in Llywelyn's death. Gryffydd ap Cynan was still a boy living with his mother in Ireland, and it's likely his father Cynan was also a casmaclty of the 1063 war. In the chaos that followed the death of Gruffydd ap Llywelyn, the Normans made deep advances into north Wales from their base at Chester, building a impressive new motte-and-bailey castle on (or near) the traditional Welsh stronghold at Rhuddlan.

In the later 11th century Gruffydd ap Cynan returned from Ireland but had little initial success in asserting his claims to Gwynedd. He was, in fact, imprisoned for a short time. By the early 12th century, however, he had patiently regained much of the territory of ancient Gwynedd, claiming it for the house of Aberffraw, and he was later able to claim additional land below the Conwy. By the time of his death in 1137 he also controlled the western territory of Ceredigion.

He was the only Welsh ruler to have part of his reign recorded by a contemporary, yet there is debate about the true extent of his power, therefore his importance in Welsh history. Walker (1990) states that 'Gruffydd ap Cynan achieved much by patient and steady progress rather than by heroic measures and major advances, but he was a man of wide influence'. His deeds were certainly overshadowed by his more famous son, Owain Gwynedd, yet during Gruffydd's reign the Normans saw a drastic reversal of fortunes in north Wales, aided by a (rare) smooth transfer of power from Gruffydd to his son Owain.

The first two decades of Gruffydd's reign were a period of relative peace, during which the literary arts were allowed to flourish after decades of warfare between Norman and Welsh. A similar pattern emerged in south Wales under the leadership of Rhys ap Gruffydd of Deheubarth. Free from the constant warfare that had crippled Wales for so many years, the reigns of Gruffydd ap Cynan and his son Owain Gwynedd, were and are viewed by many as a kind of "Golden Age" for north Wales, lasting until the death of Owain Gwynwdd in 1170, and in south Wales until the death of Rhys ap Gruffydd (the Lord Rhys) in 1197.

________________________________________

The Normans were not so considerate towards the rights of Gruffudd ap Cynan, Rhys ap Tewdwr's fellow victor in the battle of Mynydd Carn (1081]. Shortly after that victory, he was captured by the men of Hugh the Fat, earl of Chester, and the earl kept him imprisoned for at least twelve years. [A History of Wales, John Davies, Allen Lane - The Penguin Press, London, 1993]

_______________________________________

Gruffydd ab Cynan was born about 1055 at Dublin, and was nursed at a place called by the Welsh the "Cymmwd of Columeille," three miles from his parents' house. After Cynan's death, his mother inspired him with the desire to emulate his fatner's exploits and save Gwynedd from the usurpers. With the help of his firends and kinsfolk, he collected a fleet of Irish Danes and appeared off Abermenai.

Gruffydd's name now first appears in the chronicles. In 1075 (Brut y Tywysogion, s. a. 1073) he attacked Anglesey, and was welcomed by the men of Lleyn and Arvon. With the help of the Norman Marcher Robert of Rhuddlan, he defeated and slew Cynwric, and drove into flight Trahaiarn, son of Caradog. Trahaiarn, however, soon defeated his troops at the battle of Bron yr Erw and drove him back to Ireland. Another attempt was equally a failure, and Gruffydd remained several years longer in Ireland.

About 1081, Gruffydd ab Cynan again came to Wales with his Norse allies, and was joined by Rhys ab Tewdwr, who two or three years before had made himself king of Deheubarth. At the battle of Mynydd Carne, Gruffydd and Rhys defeated, and slew Trahaiarn. His deaht gave Gruffydd a foothold in Gwynedd, where he now ruled for some years in peace.

The older Welsh chronicles make no further mention of Gruffydd until 1099. ....In 1099, however, a new revolt followed close after King Magnus's invasion of Anglesey and the death of Hugh of Shrewsbury, which brought the two Welsh kings back again. At last terms wer arranged with the English and Gruffydd was left in possession of Mona, which he now governed quietly for several years. While his ally Cadwgan became vassal of Robert of Belleme for Ceredigion, Gruffydd seems to have held Anglesey as an independent prince. He had according to his biographer, visited the court of Henry I, and obtained from his the possession of LLeyn, Eivionydd, Ardudwy, and Arllachwedd. As he got these districts by the mediation of Hervey, the Breton bishop of Bangor, it must have been before 1109, the date of Hervey's translation to Ely.

In 1114 a new war between Gruffydd and the Earl of Chester led to an invastion of Gwynedd by Henry I in person. After Owain ab Cadwgan had been tricked into making peace, Gruffydd also sought peace and was pardoned in return for a large tribute. In 1115 Gruffydd ab Rhys of South Wales took refuge with Gruffydd ab Cynan. According to the Brut y Tywysogion, Henry I sent for the norther Gruffydd and persmacded him to give up his fugitive namesake. When Gruffydd ab Rhys took sanctmacry at Aberdaron, Gruffydd ab Cynan was only prevented by the remonstrances of theclergy from violating the santmacry. Gruffydd ab Cynan remained for several years at peace with Henry. In 1120 he ended the long vacancy of the see of Bangor by procuring the election of Bishop David and wrote a letter to Archbishop Ralph wich procured the consecration of his nominee. In 1121 he supported Henry when that king invaded Powys, and entirely deserted the sons and grandsons of Cadwgan. During his old age he put his sons over the remoter cantreds of his dominions, and they ravaged Powys and Ceredigion in many a bloody foray. Towards the end of his live Gruffydd became again on good terms with Gruffydd ab Rhys.


In his old age Gruffydd is said to have become blind. He died in 1137 having assumed the monastic habit and having received extreme unction from Bishop David of Bangor. He was eighty-two years old. He was buried in a splendid tomb at Bangor on the left of the high altar.

Gruffydd is described by his biographer as of low stature, with yellow hair, a round face, fine colour, large eyes and very beautiful eyebrows. He had a fine beard, a fair skin, and strong limbs. He was able to speak several langmacges. His wife was Angharad, daughter of Owain, son of Edwin. Her beauties are minutely described by the biographer. By her Gruffydd had three sons: Cadwallon (who in 1124 slew his mother's three brothers and in 1132 was slain by his cousin), Cadwaladr, and Owain, afterwards famous a Owain Gwynedd. He also had by her many daughters, one of whom, Gwenllian, was the wife, first of Cadwgan ab Bledyn and then of Gruffydd ab Rhys. Gruffydd was also the father of several ilegitimated children.

_________________________________

Gruffudd ap Cynan (c 1055-1137), king of Gwynedd, son of Cynan ap Iago, who was an exile in Ireland, and Rhagnell (Ragnhildr), a daughter of the royal house of the Scandinavians of Dublin. After 1039, when Iago was treacherously slain by his own men, Gwynedd was ruled by usurpers who were not of the royal line. One of these was Bleddyn ap Cynfyn who was killed in 1075 and succeeded by his cousin, Trahaearn ap Caradog, king of Arwystli. In that same year Gruffudd crossed over from Ireland intent on regaining his patrimony, and landed at Abermenai. With the help of Robert of Rhuddlan he overcame and killed Cynwrig, who held Llyn under Trahaearn. Trahaearn himself was conquered in a battle fought somewhere in Meirionnydd and compelled to retreat to his own lands of Arwystli. As king of Gwynedd Gruffudd's first act was to attack the Norman castle at Rhuddlan in spite of the former help given him by Robert, carrying off booty but failing to take the castle itself. As a result of the resentment felt towards the Norsemen in Gruffudd's army the men of Llyn rebelled, giving Trahaearn an opportunity to attack Gruffudd and overcome him in a battle which took place at Bron-yr-erw near Clynnog. Gruffudd fled to Ireland. In 1081 he returned and landed at Porth Clais in Dyfed, where he was joined by Rhys ap Tewdwr, another exile, who was laying claim to his patrimony in Deheubarth. They met Trahaearn at Mynydd Carn, where he was slain, Gruffudd thus becoming again king of Gwynedd. Soon after, however, through the treachery of Meirion Goch, one of his own men, he was captured by the Normans at Rug near Corwen and taken prisoner to Chester. During his imprisonment the Normans gained much land in Gwynedd, and built castles at Bangor, Caernarvon and Aberlleingiog (near the later Beaumaris). It cannot now be stated with certainty how long Gruffudd remained a prisoner (the History at one point says twelve years and at another sixteen years), but he was free by 1094 (and perhaps some years earlier) because he was prominent in the general insurrection against the Norman power which took place that year. But in 1098 the Normans made a concerted attack upon Gwynedd from Chester and Shrewsbury. Gruffudd was shut up in Anglesey and compelled once more to seek refuge in Ireland. He returned however the following year and was allowed to rule over Anglesey with the consent of the Normans. Sometime in the couse of the succeeding years he made himself lord of Gwynedd uwch Conwy, and for the rest of his life he was left undisturbed to consolidate his kingdom. It is true that Henry I led a formidable army into Gwynedd in 1114, but Gruffudd lost no land, and after this he himself did not fight a single battle. The authority of Gwynedd was however greatly extended by his sons, Owain and Cadwaladr, and before Gruffudd's death Ceredigion, Meirionnydd, Rhos, Rhufoniog and Dyffryn Clwyd were under the rule of Gwynedd. He d blind and decrepit, in 1137, and was buried in the cathedral church of Bangor. An elegy upon him was sung by Meilyr, hie pencerdd. His wife, Angharad, daughter of Owain ab Edwin, survived him by twenty-five years.

It was part of the traditional lore of the Welsh bards that Gruffudd ap Cynan had made certain regulations to govern their craft, and his name was used to give authority to the 'statute' drawn up in connection with the Caerwys eisteddfod of 1523. There is nothing to substantiate this tradition, but it is not unreasonable to suggest that Gruffudd may nave brought bards and musicians with him from Ireland and that these may have had some influence on the craft of poetry and music in Wales. He may also have made some formal changes in the bardic organization. It is clear that a genuine and persistant tradition to this effect existed in the 16th cent. It is perhaps worth noting that the 'History' mentions the death in battle of Gellan, Gruffudd's harpist, in 1094.

Gruffudd ap Cynan is the only mediaeval Welsh prince whose biography, in the form of pure eulogy, has survived. Linguistic characteristics prove it to have been a translation of a Latin original now lost. It was probably written by a cleric towards the end of the 12th cent.

1st Baron/Lord of Everingham
BARONY OF EVERINGHAM (I)  SIR ADAM DE EVERINGHAM, of Laxton, Everingham, &c., son and heir, born 29 August 1279, at Sherburn, and baptised there. Having proved his age before the King, he did homage and had livery of his father's lands, 6 December 1300. He did homage and swore fealty to three successive  Archbishops of York for his lands in Everingham, &c., 4 April 1302, 19 September 1306, and 28 February 1317/8. He was knighted by the Prince of Wales, 22 May 1306, at Westminster. He was summoned for Military Service against the Scots from 16 December 1295 to 22 May 1319 to a Council, May 1324, and to Parliament from 4 March 1308/9 to 16 October 1315 by writs directed Ade de Everingham, whereby he is held to have become LORD EVERINGHAM. He entailed nearly all his estates.   He married, 1stly, before 12 January 1307/8, Clarice. She was living 25 August 1321. He married, 2ndly, before Michaelmas 1326, Margaret, widow of Sir John DEIVILLE, of Egmanton, Notts, and Adlingfleet, co. York, who died 1325-6. She was living in February 1333/4, but died before him. He died shortly before 8 May 1341, aged 61. [Complete Peerage V:187-8, (transcribed by Dave Utzinger)]  -----------------------  Adam de Everingham, in the 31st of Edward I [1303], was in the wars of Scotland, and in three years afterwards was created a knight of the Bath with Prince Edward and other persons of rank when he attended the prince upon the expedition then made into Scotland. After which, in the 2nd of Edward II [1309], he was summoned to parliament as a Baron, and from that period to the 9th inclusive. During those years he was constantly engaged in the wars of Scotland , but afterwards taking up arms with Thomas, Earl of Lancaster, he was made prisoner at the battle of Boroughbridge, and forced to pay a fine of 400 marks to the king to save his life. In the 11th Edward III [1338], his lordship entailed his manor of Lexinton, in Notts, where he principally resided, upon Adam, his eldest son, and so successively in default of male issue upon Robert, Edmund, Alexander, and Nicholas, his younger son. This manor was holden of the archbishop of York, by the service of performing the office of butler in the prelate's house upon the day of his inthronization. Lord Everingham d. in 1341, and was s. by his eldest son, Adam.

~1120 Robert I d'Eiville In the reign of Henry I, Nigel de Albini, being enfeoffed of the manor of Egmanton, co. Nottingham, by the crown, conferred it upon Robert d'Eivill, from whom descended another Robert d'Eivill. ~1130 - <1190 Thurstan de Montfort 60 60 THURSTAN DE MONTFORT (b), brother and heir. His name appears in the account of the sheriff of Berks in 1130, He had succeeded his brother by the spring of 1141, when the Empress Maud at Winchester gave him a charter for a market every Sunday at his castle of Beaudesert, near Henley in Arden. He attested several charters of Roger, and one of William, Earls of Warwick, to the College of Warwick, his name coming usually after those of the Earl's immediate family. He also attested, on the Earl's side, the agreement made at Devizes in 1153 between Henry, Duke of Normandy (afterwards Henry II), and Ranulph, Earl of Chester. In 1156 he owed the King 20 marks for his land in Rutland. In 1166 he held under three tenants in chief of the Earl of Warwick 10 1/4 fees (Beaudesert, &c.), of Roger de Mowbray 3 3/4 in Yorks, and of Robert de Stafford 1/4 (Henley in Arden). After his brother's death he confirmed the grant of Wing to Thorney Abbey for the souls of himself, his wife and children, and especially of his brother Robert. He made a gift to Guisborough for the soul of his brother Henry (1155-70). His name disappears from the Pipe Roll after 1170. He married Juliane, daughter and coheir of Geoffrey MURDAC. [Complete Peerage IX:120-1, (transcribed by Dave Utzinger)]

(b) [actually about Thurstan's elder brother Robert, but it also applies to Thurstan] The ancestry of this family cannot be given any certainty. The only place in Normandy named Montfort is Montfort-sur-Risle. Miles Crispin, in his Life of William, the third abbot of Le Bec, thus describes the abbot's origin: "Willelmus, nobli Northmanorum prosapia originem trabens, in veteri castro super Rislam quid dicitur Montfortis, claris parentibus est exortus. Pater ejus Turistinus, mater Albereda dicebatur, Rogerii de Bellomonte patris Roberti comitis ex sorore neptis." At the time of the abbot's birth (circa 1054) the seigneur of Montfort was Hugh, but the language used suggests that Thurstan was a member of that family, the more so as he bore the same name as its founder, Thurstan de Bastenbourg. Roger de Beaumont was father of Henry, 1st Earl of Warwick, who would thus be Thurstan's first cousin by marriage; Montfort-sur-Risle is about 15 miles distant from Beaumont-le-Roger. The repeated occurrence of the name Thurstan among the Montforts of Beaudesert, undertenants of the Earls of Warwick, taken in conjunction with the above facts, points to somewhat strongly to the probability of their being a younger branch of the family of Montfort-sur-Risle.

(c) [actually about Thurstan's elder brother Robert, but it also applies to Thurstan] Robert was probably son of Thurstan de Mundford, who, as one of the barons of Henry, Earl of Warwick, attested the Earl's charter to Abingdon in the days of Abbot Reynold, who d. 1097. This Thurstan was very possibly of the house of Montfort of Montfort-sur-Risle (see note "b" above), but the connection has not been proved. Robert's brother Thurstan held land in Berks in 1130, and property there was held by his descendants till the death of the last heir male. That there was a Thurstan preceding Robert at Preston, and ancestor of Piers, who d. 1287, was proved to the satisfaction of the jury of the Hundred in 1275, who found that Preston used to be the demesne of William the Conqueror, who gave it to the Earl who was at Warwick, whose name they did not know, to hold by the service of 1 1/2 knight's fee, and the said Earl gave it to one Thurstan, ancestor of Piers de Montfort who was killed at Evesham, who held, and his widow held, by the same service of the Earl of Warwick.

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

Note: The Plantagenet Ancestry, by Turton, p. 88, has Thurstan as son of Adeline de Beaumont & Hugh de Montfort, son of Gilbert de Gant & Alice (Jeanne) de Montfort, daughter of Hugh de Montfort mentioned by CP above. There is partial support for this by Ancestral Roots (the Gilbert de Gant & Alice de Montfort marriage), as well as full support from Burke's Extinct Peerage. I find nothing in the above from CP persuasive enough to say the other sources are wrong.

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

Thurstan de Montfort, being enfeoffed of divers fair lordships by Henry de Newburgh, the 1st Earl of Warwick, erected a stony castle, called Beldesert, at the chief seat of his family in Warwickshire, which it continued for several subsequent ages. To this Thurstan, who d. before 1190, s. his son, Henry de Montfort.

[lorenfamily02.GED]  The Alemanni were a confederation of German tribes, an old adversary of Rome, from the 3rd century. While they occupied the left bank of the Rhine during the collapse of the Western Empire, they otherwise were not particularly active in the "fall" of Rome. Then they became targets of Clovis, first Christian King of the Franks, who defeated them in 496 and 505. Henceforth, until annexation by Charlemagne in 806, they were dependents of the Franks.  Their domain, revived as the Duchy of Swabia, lost its name in Germany, but the name of the Alemanni nevertheless surives as the name for Germany itself in the Romance languages, like Allemagne in French.
Nefirirkare King Nefererkare was a younger brother of Sahure and followed him on the throne. He was probably a mature man at this point but manage to have a reign of about twenty years, almost twice as long as his brother. Confident in a rather long period on the throne he planned and built a pyramid that was the biggest so far in the dynasty (over 100 m at the base side) and he almost lived long enough to see it completed. In the cartouche left is his personal name (Kakai) that he had beside his long throne name (meaning - "beautiful is the soul of Re"), as son of the solar god. Two of his sons became kings over Egypt.

Nefererkara Kakai was probably the son of Userkaf, the first king of the 5th Dynasty and thus younger (half-?) brother to his predecessor king Sahure. His pyramid complex at Abusir was unfinished during his lifetime, but obviously finished by his successors. About fifteen years after his death king Neuserre incorporated both his valley temple and causeway into his own complex (see view over Abusir). Somewhere in the vicinity he built a solar temple, because the written historical texts say so, but nothing of this shrine has so far been found and still waits to be dug out from the sand.
Egyptologists do not agree on the length of his reign and figures between fourteen and twenty-four have been suggested. Nefererkara is notable for an innovation in the long row of royal names (titles). He was the first ruler to give himself two names within a cartouche - one as the son of Re and one as his personal name. All his followers in Egyptian history took up this custom. At his pyramid complex hundreds of fragments of papyrus were found in the late 1800s and the writing was in a new "shorthand" type of hieroglyphs, the so-called hieratic type of signs used for practical reasons rather than decorative.

Today four of the original six steps of the core are visible in Nefererkare's pyramid when the casing stones are gone. The design was later altered and the sides were made straight.


This first example of this sort of text surely had a long time of development and is this king's most notable contributions to Egyptology. When decrypted and published in the 1960s it turned out to be parts of the royal archive at the site. It contained details of the administration for guarding the temples, taking care of the daily offerings like bread, beer, meat, fowl, corn and fruit. It also showed tables for regular inspections and records of the equipment in the cult of the dead pharaohs.
The name of his pyramid was: "The pyramid of the Ba-spirit".

A Druid or Magician to offer sacrifice, and presage good or bad omens, as his learning, skill, or knowledge would enable him; 5. A poet to praise or dispraise every one according to his good or bad actions; 6. A physician to administer physic to the king and queen, and to the rest of the (royal) family; 7. A musician to compose music, and sing pleasant sonnets in the King's presence when thereunto disposed; and 8, 9, and 10. three Stewards to govern the King's House in all things appertaining thereunto.  This custom was observed by all the succeeding Monarchs down to Brian Boromha, the 175th Monarch of Ireland, and 60th down from Cormac, without any alteration only that since they received the Christian Faith they changed the Druid or Magician for a Prelate of the Church.  What is besides delivered from antiquity of this great Monarch is, that (which among the truly wise is more valuable than any worldly magnificence or secular glory whatsoever) he was to all mankind very just, and so upright in his actions, judgments, and laws, that God revealed unto him the light of His Faith seven years before his death; and from thenceforward he refused his Druids to worship their idol-gods, and openly professed he would no more worship any but the true God of the Universe, the Immortal and Invisible King of Ages. Whereupon the Druids sought his destruction, which they soon after effected (God permitting it) by their adjurations and ministry of damned spirits choking him as he sat at dinner eating of salmon, some say by a bone of the fish sticking in his throat, AD 266, after he had reigned forty years.  He died at Cleitach, on the Boyne. Before his death he gave directions that, instead of at Brugh, a famous burial place of the Irish pre-Christian kings, he should be buried in Ross-na-Ri near Slane -- both in the county of Meath; and that his face should be towards the East -- through respect for the Savior of the World, whom he knew to have been there born and crucified.

    ACACALLIS was a daughter of Minos and Pasiphae. While she has not shared the fame of her sisters Ariadne and Phaedra, she did lead a most interesting life. She had children by the two handsomest of the Olympian gods and even by the father of the gods. Acacallis was Apollo's first love. With his sister Artemis he came to Tarrha from Aegialae on the mainland for purification after slaying the moster Python. Apollo stayed at the house of Carmanor, where he found Acacallis, a maternal relative of Carmanor; it was not long until he seduced her. Some say Minos banished Acacallis to Libya, where she became the mother of Ammon by Zeus. By Apollo she had two more sons, Amphithemis and Garamas. Amphithemis became the father of Nasamon and Caphaurus, or Cephalion, by the nymph Tritonis. Of Garamas little is known. Some say he was born in Libya when Acacallis fled there, but others say he was the first man ever to be born and therefore from a much earlier era. Acacallis became the mother of Cydon by Hermes (others say the father was Apollo, and still others that it was Tegeates). Cydon grew up to found the town of Cydonia (modern Hania) in Crete. Some say that Acacallis had still another son (no father mentioned), Oaxus, or Oaxes, in Crete. Others say he was a son of Apollo by Anchiale. In Crete Acacallis was a common name for narcissus. Apollodorus (3.1.2) calls this daughter of Minos Acalle. [Pausanias 7.2.3, 8.53.2; Plutarch, Agis 9; Apollonius Rhodius 4.1490; Apollodorus 3.1.2; Stephanus Byzantium, "Oaxos"; Athenaeus 15.681; Hesychius, "Akakallis."]

    ADRASTEIA (1), Adrastea, or Adrastia was a daughter of King Melisseus and Amaltheia of Crete. When Rhea was pregnant with Zeus, she left Arcadia and went to Crete. She delivered him in a cave on Mount Dicte, then gave him to Adrasteia to rear. In this office Adrasteia was assissted by her sister Ida and by the Curetes, whom a commentator on Callimachus called her brothers. They fed the infant Zeus on the milk of the goat Amaltheia, and the bees of the mountain provided him with honey. This would have been an awesome experience and responsibility for two simple mountain nymphs, as they are usually described. Being daughters of a king rather changes the effect, but we have to wonder how they explained their absence from home. Maybe the king was privy to the undertaking, or perhaps his wife Amaltheia wet-nursed the baby and was somehow confused with the goat. The princess role, however, makes more sense when we read in Apollonius Rhodius (3.132) that Adrasteia gave to the infant Zeus a beautiful globe (sphaira) to play with. On some Cretan coins Zeus was represented sitting on a globe.
    [Apollodorus 1.1.6; Callimachus, Hymn to Zeus 47; Diodorus Siculus 5.70; Ovid, Fasti 5.115.]

    AEDON (1) was another case of an evil plan backfiring and plunging its perpetrator into tragedy. Aedon was a daughter of Pandareos of Ephesus. According to Homer (Odyssey 19.517), she was the wife of Zethus, king of Thebes, and the mother of Itylus. Zethus' twin brother, Amphion, was married to Niobe; by her he fathered six sons and six daughters. Aedon was insanely envious of Niobe, since she herself had but one son. She eventually devised a plot to kill Amaleus, one of Niobe's sons, but in the dark mistook her own son for her nephew and killed him. One writer adds that she did kill Amaleus, then killed Itylus from fear of Niobe. It is not further explained how this would make a difference, but it may be that such an action might prove her insane and perhaps spare her own life. In any cas, Aedon was so grief-stricken that Zeus took pity on her and changed her into a nightingale, whose melancholy song recalls her lamentations for Itylus. Aedon was the word for nightingale in Attic Greek. Robert Graves in his Greek Myths calls the intended victim Sipylus, not Amaleus. While Sipylus was said to be the eldest son of Amphion and Niobe, there is no evidence that he was connected with the Aedon story. Graves also refers to Aedon as the sister of Niobe. Astute readers will recognize in this story some of the elements of the myth of Procne and Philomela. The name of the slain son, Itys, is almost the same, and one of the sisters was changed into a nightingale, which to this day mourns the death of Itys.
    [Eustathius on Homer's Odyssey 1875.]

    AEDON (2) was, according to Antoninus Liberalis (11), the wife of Polytechnus, an artist of Colophon. When she boasted that she lived more happily with her husband than Hera with Zeus, in revenge Hera ordered Eris, the goddess of discord, to induce Aedon to enter into a contest with her husband. Polytechnus was at that time engaged in making a chariot and Aedon a piece of embroidery, and they agreed that whoever finished their work first would receive from the other a female slave as the prize. When Aedon won the contest, Polytechnus went to his wife's father and told him that Aedon was eager to see her sister Chelidonis, and took her with him. On his way home he raped her, dressed her in slave's attire, threatened her into absolute silence, and gave her to his wife as the promised prize. After some time, thinking she was alone, Chelidonis lamented her fate. She was overheard by Aedon, and the two sisters conspired against Polytechnus. They killed his son Itys, whom they served to Polytechnus for dinner. Aedon fled with Chelidonis to her father who, when Polytechnus came in pursuit, had him bound, smeared with honey, and exposed to ants and other insects. Aedon then took pity on him, and her relatives were about to kill her for her display of mercy. About this time, Zeus changed Polytechnus into a pelican, her father into a sea eagle, Chelidonis into a swallow, and Aedon herself into a nightingale. This story is almost identical to that of Procne and Philomela.


    CALLIOPE was one of the nine Muses. As Muse of epic poetry she appears with a tablet and stylus, and sometimes with a scroll. Although she shared a great deal in common with her eight sisters and joined them most of the time in dancing and singing on Olympus and in their sacred groves on Mount Helicon, she led a most interesting private life. She was called at one time or another the mother of the Corybantes by Zeus, of Hymen by Apollo, of Ialemus by Apollo, of Linus by Apollo, of Rhesus by the Strymon River, of the Sirens, and of Orpheus by Oeagrus. It makes good sense that she was considered the mother of these famous poets and musicians (except for Rhesus). Hymen was the god of marriage and the author of the songs performed at weddings. Ialemus was the inventor of a special kind of song sung on melancholy occasions. Linus was the personification of lamentation; he invented dirges and songs in general. Orpheus was the most famous poet and musician who ever lived. The Corybantes were the attendants of Rhea Cybele and accompanied her with wild dancing and music. The Sirens, of course, were the women with beutiful voices who lured sailors to their death with their songs. As for Rhesus, the Thracian prince who went to the Trojan War, there is little reason for assigning him a Muse for a mother, and it seems this was done by later writers perhaps to lend poetic enhancement to his early and tragic death. Calliope also took a fancy to Achilles and taught him how to cheer his friends by singing at banquets. She was called by Zeus to mediate the quarrel between Aphrodite and Persephone over possession of Adonis. She settled the dispute by giving them equal time, providing Adonis some much-needed free time to himself. Calliope is somehow easier to picture than the other Muses, with the possible exception of Terpsichore. One can think of a voluptuous woman with a beautiful face and a pleasant manner. In spite of being credited with mournful sons who met unhappy ends, she may even be conceived as light-spirited. [Hesiod, Theogony 77; Philostratus, Heroicus 19.2; Hyginus, Fables 14, Poetic Astronomy 2.7; Catullus 61.2; Nonnos, Dionysiaca 33.67; Apollodorus 1.3.2,4; Pausanias 1.43.7, 2.19.7; Conon, Narrations 45; Apollonius Rhodius 1.23; Servius on Virgil's Aeneid 5.364; Zenobius 4.39.]

    CALYCE was a daughter of Aeolus and Enarete. Her family tree produced some of the greatest heroes and heroines in mythology, since her brothers were Cretheus, Sisyphus, Athamas, Salmoneus, Deion, Magnes, Perieres, and Macareus. She did well in her own right. She married Aethlius, son of Zeus and Protogeneia and grandson of Deucalion. By him she became the mother of the famous Endymion, who was not only the lover of the moon goddess Selene but also king of Elis and ancestor of the Aetolians, Epeians, and Paeonians. By report, she had 50 half-immortal granddaughters by the union of Selene with her sleeping son, but this phenomenon is discussed elsewhere. [Apollodorus 1.7.2,3.5; Pausanias 5.1.2,8.1, 10.31.2.]

    CLYMENE was one of the Oceanides, a daughter of Oceanus and Tethys. By her uncle Iapetus she was the mother of Atlas, Prometheus, Menoetius, and Epimetheus. Iapetus was regarded as the ancestor of the human race, although it was his son Prometheus who fashioned men out of clay. It is to be expected that there was confusion in the genealogies of the beings involved in setting up the world. Clymene was also called the mother by Prometheus of Hellen and Deucalion. This mother/son liason would not be particularly usual in the confusing descent of the gods, but Prometheus' wife was usually called Celaeno. Somewhere along the way, probably after the confinement of Iapetus in Tartarus with other Titans, Clymene married Merops, a king of the Ethiopians. Clymene was unfaithful to him and gave herself to her cousin (and brother-in-law) Helios, the sun. By him she had the Heliades and Phaethon.
    Clymene's children were pivotal in the contest of the gods against the Titans and in the development of the human race. Atlas and Menoetius were both punished for their roles in the conflict with the Olympians. Atlas was condemned to bear the heavens on his head and shoulders, but not before he became father of the Pleiades, the Hyades, the Hesperides, and other beings. Menoetius was struck by Zeus with a thunderbolt and thrown into Tartarus. Prometheus and Epimetheus were the parents of Deucalion and Pyrrha, respectively, and these offspring were responsible for repopulating the earth after the great flood. For going contrary to the will of Zeus in regard to the human race, Prometheus was punished atop Mount Caucasus by having his liver pecked out daily by an eagle and having it restored each successive day. Pandora, the wife of Epimetheus, let loose all the troubles of the world by opening a forbidden chest. Phaethon, the son of Clymene and Helios, almost caused the destruction of the world. He begged his father to let him drive the chariot of the sun across heaven. He proved too weak to handle the dazzling horses, and the chariot fell toward the earth. Zeus struck him from the chariot, and he plummeted to earth. Helios recovered the reins in time to keep the earth from burning to a cinder. Phaethon's mother was also called Merope, Prote, or Rhode. [Hesiod, Theogony 351,507; Hyginus, Fables 156; Apollodorus 1.2.3; Ovid, Metamorphoses 1.763, Tristia 3.4.30.]

    ELECTRA was a daughter of Atlas and Pleione, and one of the seven Pleiades. Her story is a confusing one. Zeus fell in love with her and carried her to Olympus, a rather daring thing to do, considering the perennial jealousy of Hera. He succeeded in raping her, but she managed to escape in midrape and as a suppliant embraced the sacred Palladium, which Athena had establishe. Since she had been sullied, the divinity of her attacker notwithsanding, she was considered a defiler of the sacred object, and it was hurled from Olympus to land in Ilium (Troy), where it was revered as the city's principal security. Through her unwelcome encouter with the father of the gods, she became the mother of Iasion and Dardanus. They must have been twins, although this fact was never particularly emphasized. (According to an Italian version of her story, she was the wife of Corythus, king of Tuscia, and had Iasion by him and Dardanus later by Zeus.) When Dardanus and Iasion migrated to Samothrace from Arcadia (or Italy or Crete), they carried the Palladium with them. This is contrary to the story of its celestial origin, but there might have been two such images. Electra appears to have followed or accompanied her sons, for we find her on Samothrace. She was even said to have been the mother of Harmonia by Zeus in Samothrace, although Harmonia is nearly always called the daughter of Aphrodite and Ares. In keeping, though, with the accounts of the origin of the Samothracian mysteries, the presence of Harmonia appeared to be called for in establishing a connection between the Samothracian and Theban Cabeiri. It seems hardly likely that Electra voluntarily would have submitted Zeus after her first unfortunate experience with him. Thoroughly instructed in the mysteries by Demeter, his lover, Iasion passed on their knowledge to numerous heroes. He later married Cybele, according to some. Dardanus went to the Troad and was hospitably received by Teucer, the king of the region, who gave him part of the kingdom and his daughter Bateia. He built the city of Dardania (later Troy) and initiated the inhabitants into the mysteries of the gods of Samothrace. He introduce3d the cult of Cybele into Phrygia. Electra went with him to the Troad, and she brought the Palladium along from Samothrace. Again we have a conflicting account. Here is the very person who allegedly contaminated the Olympian Palladium, so that it was cast out of heaven, now bringing it to the city whose site was determined by the landing place in the earlier account. Apparently there needed to be an explanation fror the introduction of the mysteries into Troy. Although the Palladium was connected with Athena, who had no strong role in the mysteries, its function of guaranteeing the safety of the city was perhaps given more credibility by having Dardanus and Electra heavily involved in worship of the Cabeiri. Electra remained in Troy until its fall, according to some writers. Even though the Pleiades had a kind of second-class immortality, being daughters of a Titan, this would have made Electra well over 100 years old. According to the story, she watched the city founded by her son perishing in flames and tore out her hair in grief; she was placed among the stars as a comet. Other accounts say she and her sisters were already among the stars as the seven Pleiades and that Electra's brilliancy dimmed when Ilium was destroyed. [Apollodorus 3.10.1, 12.1.3; Servius on Virgil's Aeneid 1.32,384, 2.325, 3.167, 7.207, 10.272; Tzetzes on Lycophron 29; Diodorus Siculus 5.48; Scholiast on Euripides' Phoenician Maidens 1136; Eustathius on Homer's Iliad 1155.]

    HARMONIA, one of the inspired conceptions of some long-forgotten writer, was a tribute to the ability of the Greeks to create an ideal balance. She was the daughter of Love (Aphrodite) and War (Ares). Her brothers were Deimos (Terror) and Phobos (Fear), both mainly thought of in terms of war. Again, as if to balance things, some called Eros and Anteros full brothers as well, but in any case they were half-brothers. After Cadmus founded Thebes, Zeus gave him Harmonia as a wife. This was a union favored by all the gods and goddesses of Olympus, especially Athena, who was the self-appointed protectress of Cadmus. All the Olympians attended the wedding, and rich presents were give, the most opulent being a necklace of exquisite design studded with precious stones. Fashioned for him by Hephaestus, the was the groom's gift to the bride, along with a handsome peplus, or robe. Some said the necklace was presented to her by Aphrodite or Athena. Some said Cadmus had received it from his sister Europa, who had earlier received it from Zeus, but this would make no sense, since Cadmus never saw Europa again after her abduction. In fact, his fruitless search for her had resulted in his founding Thebes. This beautiful jewelry, whatever its origin, came with a curse as it was passed from generation to generation. The results of its attraction culminated in the battle of the Seven against Thebes and the subsequent campaign of the Epigoni. Even in Harmonia's possession, its virulence seemed to spread like poison over the family. The children of Harmonia by Cadmus were Autonoe, Ino, Semele, Agave, and Polydorus. While they were small, Harmonia seemed to lead a rather idyllic life. Undeniably immortal herself, she spent time in the company of other immortals such as the Charites (Graces), Hebe (the goddess of youth), the Horae (Seasons), the Muses, Apollo, and her mother Aphrodite. Some even claimed that the Charites were her daughters by Zeus, who was already her grandfather and later would become her son-in-law as well. The mellow life enjoyed by Harmonia came to an end when her daughters grew up. Ino's husband went insane and tried to kill her, but she leapt into the sea and became a sea divinity. Autonoe married the god Aristaeus, but he left her when their son Actaeon was turned into a stag, then killed and eaten by his hunting dogs. Semele was burned alive when she forced her lover Zeus to appear to her in his full splendor. He managed to save the child she was carrying, which turned out to be Dionysus. This grandchild did not help things when later he converted his aunts to his worship. One day the three of them got drunk and, mistaking him for a wild beast, tore Agave's son, Pentheus, apart with their bare hands. Only Polydorus, the son, turned out reasonably well, if we do not dwell on the fact that he was the great-grandfather of Oedipus. Cadmus and Harmonia left Thebes even before the death of Pentheus. Their leaving has never been explained; perhaps the tragedies of the other daughters caused them to go to a remote place. There was a prophecy among the Enchelean people in northern Greece that if Cadmus would lead them against their enemies, the Illyrians, the would be victorious. Cadmus did so, and the prophecy was fulfilled. He and Harmonia then ruled in Illyria. Although grandparents, they produced another son, Illyrius. Afterward, the gods changed them into dragons and transported them to Elysium, or the Isles of the Blessed. A variation of this account calls Harmonia the daughter of Zeus and Electra, daughter of Atlas. She was therefore sister to Dardanus and Iasion. She and her brothers lived on the island of Samothrace, where they had gone from Arcadia. When Cadmus went there searching for Europa, he fell in love with Harmonia. In this version also, the gods smiled on the marriage and attended the wedding celebration on Samothrace. Then Cadmus took Harmonia to Thebes, and the two stories merged at that point. The second version might have arisen in conjunction with the strong Cabeirian influence in Theban worship (the Cabeiri were the divinities worshipped on the islands of Lemnos and Samothrace). Dardanus and Iasion taught the mysteries in the Aegean and Asia Minor, and it would seem appropriate that Harmonia introduced them on the Greek mainland. [Apollodorus 3.4.2,5.4; Diodorus Siculus 1.68,4.48; Pindar, Pythian Odes 3.94,167; Statius, Thebaid 2.266; Euripides, Bacchanals 1233,1350; Ovid, Metamorphoses 4.562-602; Pausanias 9.5.1,12.3; Hyginus, Fables 6,184,240; Ptolemaeus Hephaestion 1; Apollonius Rhodius 4.517.]

    MAIA was the eldest of the Pleiades. As daughter of Atlas and Pleione, she was sometimes called either Atlantis or Pleias. One account called her a daughter of Atlas and Sterope, his own daughter. She was visited in a cave on Mount Cyllene in Arcadia by Zeus and became the mother of Hermes, one of the Olympian gods. He was surnamed Cyllenius from his birthplace. That is the extent of what we know of Maia. After Zeus had his affair with Callisto and she was changed into a bear, the baby, Arcas, was carried to Maia to be brought up. In a manner of speaking, he was her stepson, but so were scores of other sons of Zeus. Maia is famous through her son, for her presence is felt in the nursery adventures of the god of thieves. Hermes escaped from his cradle and went to Pieria, carrying off some of Apollo's oxen, but was forgiven when he invented the lyre from a tortoise shell. He became the messenger of the other gods, and was notorious for his ingenuity and cunning. We lose sight of Maia after Hermes became adult. She was not even mentioned in the upbringing of Dionysus, in which Hermes took a part. The Romans had a divinity called Maia, or Majesta, who was sometimes considered the wife of Vulcan, largely because a priest of Vulcan offered a sacrifice to her on May 1. Later, she became identified with the Greek Maia and was called the mother of Mercury. [Homeric Hymn to Hermes 3,17; Hesiod, Theogony 938; Apollodorus 3.10.2,8.2; Horace, Odes 1.10.1, 2.42; Macrobius, Saturnalia 1.12; Gellius 13.22; Servius on Virgil's Aeneid 8.130; Pausanias 8.17.1.]

    PANDORA over the centuries has become a kind of equivalent of Eve, the first created woman. Much blame was assigned to both because of a foolish mistake (provided we remove the element of destiny). Pandora, whose name literally meant All Gifts, came into being when Zeus had her created by the master artisan Hephaestus to punish Prometheus for stealing fire from heaven. Right there we have an anomaly, since the theft of fire presupposed an already existing population of the earth. But perhaps only males existed at that point, and Zeus had other ideas for propagation. It is interesting that he saw the creation of a woman as a punishment. Whatever the reason, Pandora was created as the first woman, and all the gods came forward to endow her with gifts. Aphrodite gave her beauty, Hermes gave her cunning, and other gods and goddesses gave her various powers that Zeus had calculated to bring about the ruin of man. Finally he had Hermes deliver her to Epimetheus, the not-so-bright brother of Prometheus. Epimetheus was utterly charmed by this marvelous creation, although he had been warned by Prometheus never to accept a gift from Zeus. He forgot his promise to his brother to think before acting, because Aphrodite's gift had certainly included the ability of Pandora to give her husband ultimate sexual pleasure. Life was happy for Pandora and especially so for Epimetheus. But already destiny was at work. In the house was a covered earthen vessel (or box or chest) that either had been placed in the safekeeping of Epimetheus or given to Pandora along with other gifts. In either case it was forbidden to open it. But its unknown contents plagued Pandora (she had been given curiosity along with everything else). One day while Epimetheus was away, she could stand the temptation no longer and peeked into the vessel. She found out soon enough why she should not have opened the pot, for out swarmed all the calamities of mankind--from tidal waves to premature balding. It was too late to stop them as they spread out through the window and across the world. Pandora dropped the lid back in time to prevent the excape of the final occupant of the vessel. This was Elpis, and no matter how bad things became for people then and in the future, there was always hope. Pandora became the mother of Pyrrha by Epimetheus. Pyrrha married Deucalion, son of Prometheus, and these two people repopulated the earth when Zeus, finally disgusted with man, sent a flood to wipe out the human race. There is no record of Pandora's final history. It is not really certain whether or not she was considered immortal. In later writings she became associated with infernal divinities such as Hecate, Persephone, and the Erinyes.
    In one or two versions of the allegory, Pandora brought the fatal vessel Epimetheus and, using her newly fashioned wiles, prevaied upon him to open it. It is interesting to observe the parallel of this story to that of Eve in the garden of Eden urging Adam to taste the forbidden apple. Some said the vessel contained only benefits for mankind, but these were allowed to escape. In any case, the result was intended to be the same. The birth of Pandora was represented on the pedestal of the statue of Athena in the Parthenon. [Hesiod, Theogony 571, Works and Days 30,50,96; Hyginus, Fables 142; Apollodorus 1.7.2; Ovid, Metamorphoses 1.350; Orphica, Argonautica 974.]

    PLEIONE was one of the Oceanides and mother of the Pleiades by Atlas. Atlas was the son of Iapetus and Clymene, and leader of the Titans in the war against Zeus and the Olympians. He was condemned to bear the heavens on his head and shoulders. Pleione had to share him with Aethra, who according to some, became the mother of the Hyades and Hesperides by him. He had children by other women as well. The Pleiades mated with gods for the most part, but interestingly only one of Pleione's grandchildren--Hermes--was one of the immortal Olympian gods. An interesting question might be why he was different, since Zeus, his father, had sons by two of the other Pleiades. [Apollodorus 3.10.1; Diodorus Siculus 4.27; Scholiast on Homer's Iliad 18.486, Odyssey 5.272; Hyginus, Fables 192,248.]

    STEROPE was one of the Pleiades, daughter of Atlas and Pleione. Like her sister Merope she married a mortal. He was Oenomaus, son of Ares and Harpinna, and king of Pisa in Elis. Sterope's children by Oenomaus were Leucippus, Hippodameia, and Alcippe. One writer also listed Dysponteus, who founded the city of Dyspontium. Sterope suffered the loss of Leucippus. He fell in love with a nymph who followed Artemis. He could find no other way to be near her, so he dressed as a maiden and became close friends with her. He was found out, however, and killed by her companions. Alcippe married Euenus, who unhappily imitated his father-in-law and forced contenders for the hand of their daughter Marpessa to compete with him in a chariot race. When Hippodameia grew up, reports of her beauty attracted many suitors. Oenomaus took a dim view of the, since he was in love with his daughter. We do not know whether or not Sterope was aware of this development. Onenomaus agreed to give Hippodameia to anyone who could beat him in a chariot race, but the price of losing was death to the contender. In spite of the grim probability of death, about 20 young men came forward and failed. Sterope and her daughters must have been horrified by the severed heads of recent losers strung over the doorway. Finally Pelops defeated Oenomaus, who died in the contest. He married Hippodameia and assumed Oenomaus' kindom. That meant that Sterope had a choice of remaining with them or going elsewhere. It is difficult to consider Sterope's story as Oenomaus' wife together with the story of the collective Pleiades, who were said by some to have been changed into doves when pursued by Orion or into stars as a result of grief for their father's punishment by Zeus. Several other Pleiades had independent lives as well, so their metamorphosis must be considered as having come about after their separate careers had ended. Sterope was called by some the mother of Oenomaus by Ares, which would have concurred with the statement that only one of the Pleiades married a mortal. To support this contention, the wife of Oenomaus was by some called Euarete or Eurythoe. [Apollodorus 3.10.1; Pausanias 5.10.5,22.5, 6.21.6.]

    TAYGETE, from whom Mount Taygetus in Laconia derived its name, was one of the Pleiades. By Zeus she became the mother of Lacedaemon, even though she fled from the god's embraces. Artemis tried to help by changing her into a cow, but Zeus found no problem with cows, bears, geese, swans, or other animals, and the question would really be one of whether he was willing to wait for Taygete to resume her original form or go right ahead with what was at hand. Whichever she chose, Lacedaemon was conceived. Still, Taygete felt obliged to Artemis and presented her with the famous Ceryneian hind with golden antlers that Heracles later captured as one of his labors. Lacedaemon became king of the region of his same name. He founded the sanctuary of the Charites between Sparta and Amyclae. Taygete was also called by some the mother of Eurotas by Myles. His mother was more oftern called Cleochareia.

AEGA, or Aegia, is one of those persons of ancient myth whose identity is obscured by variant versions of a story. According to one tradition, she was a daughter of Olenus, son of Hephaestus, and sister of Helice. The sisters are said to have nursed Zeus in Crete, and Aega was later changed by him into the constellation Capella. Another tradition made her the daughter of Melisseus, king of Crete, and she was chosen to suckle the infant Zeus. She could not manage this, so the goat Amaltheia was brought into service. Still others say that Aega was a daughter of Helios and, as the daughter of the sun, dazzling in appearance. She therefore frightened the Titans who were assailing Olympus, and they begged Gaea, their mother, the earth, to remove her from their sight. Gaea accordingly confined her in a cave in Crete, and there she became the nurse of Zeus. Later on, while fighting Titans, Zeus was commanded by an oracle to cover himself with Aega's skin (aegis); he did so and raised her among the stars. So, even with three separate fathers assigned by different writers, we can see that in all the stories Aega was regarded as a nurse of Zeus. No attempt seems to be made to combine her office in this matter with the services of Adrasteia and Ida, who are usually called the nurses of Zeus (they too were daughters of Melisseus).
The entity of Aega, like that of Amaltheia, seems to be confused between human being and goat. One would hope that it was the goat identity from which Zeus obtained his aegis. By some kind of mythological teleportation Aega became the wife of Arcadian Pan. Never missing an opportunity, Zeus became the father of Aegipan by her, although some claim that Zeus coupled with a goat to produce him. Again there is this strong identification with goats, and it is probably safe to say that the name Aega was translated as "goat," even though some have contended that "gale of wind" might be better, since the rise of the constellation Capella brings storms and tempests. [Hyginus, Poetic Astronomy 2.13; Aratus, Phenomena 150.]

AETNA was a Sicilian nymph, a daughter of Gaea by Uranus or Oceanus, or of Briareus, the giant. When Hephaestus and Demeter disputed the possession of Sicily, she acted as arbitrator. Her decisions must have been favorable to Hephaestus, since she became by him the mother of the Palici. These Sicilian demons, however, were most often called twin sons of Zeus by Thaleia, the daughter of Hephaestus. Mount Aetna in Sicily was believed to have derived its name from her. Zeus buried a few giants under Mount Aetna, and it was here that Hephaestus and the Cyclopes forged thunderbolts for him. Bother these circumstances helped the inhabitants explain the rumblings and eruptions. [Servius on Virgil's Aeneid 9.584; Euripides, Cyclops 296; Propertius 3.15.21; Cicero, On Divination 2.19.]

EIDOMENE, or Idomene, was a daughter of Pheres, son of Cretheus and Tyro, and Periclymene. Her brothers were Admetus and Lycurgus, and her sister was Periapis. Pheres founded the town of Pherae in Thessaly. In one place Eidomene was referred to as the daughter of Abas. She married Amythaon, her uncle, thus becoming not only a cousin but also aunt of Jason, since Amythaon was brother to Aeson, Jason's father. By Amythaon she became the mother of sons Bias and Melampus, and a daughter Aeolia. She was sometimes called Aglaia or Dorippe. Amythaon migrated to Messenia and settled at the court of Neleus, his half-brother. He started the Olympic games after the sons of Pelops left Elis. He went back to Thessaly to greet Jason when his nephew appeared at the court of Pelias. Bias and Melampus went on to become joint rulers in Argos because they were able to cure the insanity of the daughters of Proetus. Melampus was able to accomplish the cure through his combined gift of prophecy and medical knowledge. Eidomene probably lived with her sons in Argos after Amythaon died and they had acquired their part of the kingdom. [Apollodorus 1.9.11, 2.2.2, 3.10.4, 13.8; Diodorus Siculus 4.68; Homer, Odyssey 11.259; Pausanias 5.8.2; Pindar, Pythian Odes 4.124.]

DORIPPE (1) was the mother of Melampus. Him mother, however, is more often called Eidomene. [Dieuchidas, quoted by the scholiast on Apollonius Rhodius 1.121.]

ACHAMANTIS was one of the Danaides, daughter of Danaus, who on her wedding night murdered her husband Ecnominus, son of Aegyptus. [Hyginus, Fables 170.]

ACHIROE, Anchinoe, or Anchiroe was a daughter of Nilus, the Nile River. Her history is somewhat confusing because of the differnet spellings of her name by ancient writers and tentative assignment to her of offspring in quite separate geographical locations. Achiroe, called Anchinoe by Apollodorus (2.14), was the wife of Belus, son of Poseidon and Libya, who ruled at Chemnis. By him she became the mother of Aegyptus and Danaus, thereby becoming grandmother to the 50 sons of the first and 50 daughters of the second. According to some, Cepheus and Phineus were also sons of Achiroe and Belus. According to one writer, Ares begot by her a son, Sithon, who became a king in Thrace and had two daughters, Rhoeteia and Pallene. At this point, things become a little muddled, since Egypt and Thrace are quite far apart. Not only that, but at least one writer called Rhoeteia and Pallene sisters of Sithon, not daughters. According to still another writer, Pallene was his daughter by Achiroe(!). It is quite reasonable to assume ther might have been two Achiroes--one Egyptian and the other Macedonian--and that the Macedonian one was the mother, not the lover, of Sithon. [Tzetzes on Lycophron 583,1161.]

ACTAEA (2) was one of the Danaides, one of six daughters of Danaus and Pieria. The sons of Aegyptus cast lots for these six, and Periphas got Actaea. [Apollodorus 2.1.5.]

ADIANTE was one of the Danaides, the daughter of Danaus by Herse. She was paired with Daiphron, one of the youngest sons of Aegyptus. She and Hippodice were the only daughters of Danaus by Herse. [Apollodorus 2.1.5.]

ADITE was one of the Danaides, one of the six daughters of Danaus by Pieria. Six sons of Aegyptus cas lots for them, and Menacles thus acquired Adite as his wife. [Apollodorus 2.1.5.]

ABROTA was born in Onchestus in Boeotia. Her father was Onchestus, son of Poseidon and founder of the town of Onchestus, where the Onchestian Poseidon had a temple and a statue. She was the sister of Megareus and was said to be exceptionally intelligent and remarkably discreet. She married Nisus, a son of Pandion and king of Megaris. By Nisus she became the mother of Scylla. When she died she was mourned by all the Megarians. Wishing to perpetuate her memory for all time, Nisus ordered all the women to wear a garment of the same kind as Abrota had worn, called aphabroma, which was still in use in the time of Plutarch (Greek Questions 295). The writer said that when the Megarian women wanted to make a change in fashion, the gods prevented them by an oracle. [Pausanias 9.26.3.]

ACHIROE, Anchinoe, or Anchiroe was a daughter of Nilus, the Nile River. Her history is somewhat confusing because of the differnet spellings of her name by ancient writers and tentative assignment to her of offspring in quite separate geographical locations. Achiroe, called Anchinoe by Apollodorus (2.14), was the wife of Belus, son of Poseidon and Libya, who ruled at Chemnis. By him she became the mother of Aegyptus and Danaus, thereby becoming grandmother to the 50 sons of the first and 50 daughters of the second. According to some, Cepheus and Phineus were also sons of Achiroe and Belus.

[Tzetzes on Lycophron 583,1161.]

AEGINA was the daughter of the god of the Asopus River, which flows from Phliasia through Sicyonia into the Corinthian Gulf. Asopus married Metope, daughter of the river-god Ladon, and had by her two sons, Ismenus and Pelagon, and twenty daughters, one of whom was Aegina. Since she was very beautiful, she attracted the attention of Zeus, who abducted her and carried her from her home in Phlius to the island of Oenone or Oenopia, afterward called Aegina. A little tired of having his beautiful daughters carried away by lustful gods (Poseidon and Apollo were other examples), Asopus went in search of Aegina. At Corinth her learned from Sisyphus, the king (perhaps in exchange for supplying the Acrocorinthus with a spring), the facts about Aegina's disappearance. Asopus then pursued Zeus until the god, by hurling thunderbolts at him, sent him back to his original bed. Pieces of charcoal found in the riverbed in later times were thought to be residue from the stormy struggle. For his interference in the affair, after his death Sisyphus received special punishment in the lower world. Aegina became by Zeus the mother of Aeacus. His youth was marked by the progressive disappearance of the island's population by a plague or a dragon sent by the ever-jealous Hera. When Aeacus eventually became king, he had almost no subjects to govern, so Zeus restored the people by changing ants into human beings. Aeacus went on to become such a just king that his counsel was sought even by the gods, and after his death he was made one of the judges of the lower world. After her affair with Zeus, Aegina married Actor, son of Deion, and became by him the mother of Menoetius, who became the father of Patroclus, the famous friend of Achilles. In fact, it was through Aegina that Patroclus and Achilles were related, on being her grandson and the other her great-grandson by the separate lines begun by her two husbands. One commentator (Pythaenetos, quoting the scholiast on Pindar's Olympian Odes 9.107) said Menoetius was Actor's son by Damocrateia, a daughter of Aegina and Zeus. This makes sense in terms of putting Patroclus and Achilles in the same generation. In that case, also, Aegina's sexual encounters with the greeatest of the gods would have remained inviolate, unless we consider the single account that she was the mother of Sinope (usually called her sister) by Ares. Even here she at least kept with the immortals for lovers. [Apollodorus 3.12.6; Pausanias 2.5.1; Scholiast on Apollonius Rhodius 436.]

AETHUSA was a daughter of Poseidon and the Pleiad Alcyone, and sister of Hyrieus, Hyperenor, Hyperes, and Anthas. Hyperes and Anthas were kings of Troezen, probably concurrently, and had neighboring towns named for them. Hyrieus was the founder of Hyria in Boeotia and father of Orion. Aethusa was loved by Apollo and became by him the mother of Eleuther. According to one account, she was also mother by him of Linus, but most accounts call his mother Psamathe. Eleuther grew up to found Eleutherae in Boeotia. He is credited with having erected the first staue of Dionysus and with spreading the worship of the god. His grandson Poemander--and thus Aethusa's great-grandson--founded Tanagra. [Apollodorus 3.10.1; Pausanias 9.20.2.]

AGAMEDE (1) was a daughtr of Augeas and wife of Mulius. Her husband was acquainted with the pharmaceutical properties of all the plants that grew on earth, but apparently he was unable to find one that could overcome his sterility. Agamede, however, managed to provide three sons--Belus, Actor, and Dictys--by Poseidon, and it is unfortunate that we know nothing else about the circumstances. It is remarkable, though, that Poseidon returned to her again and again; usually with the gods it was a one-time affair with mortal women. Mulius' scientific knowledge was snuffed out by Nestor in a war between the Pylians and the Epeians. [Homer, Iliad 11,738-739; Hyginus, Fables 157.]

ASTYPALAEA was a daughter of Phoenix and Perimede, the daughter of Oeneus. She was also called sister to Europa, and her name was given by some as Alta. Phoenix settled in the country that later would be called Phoenicia for him. Astypalaea was one of Poseidon's amatory conquests, and with him one can never be sure whether the liaison was willingly entered into or forced. In the few cases in which more than one child resulted, it was probably by mutual agreement. Astypalaea was the mother of Ancaeus and Eurypylus by the god. She was also rewarded by having the island of Astypalaea named for her, and her sons were treated favorably as well. Ancaeus became king of the Leleges in Samos and produced several sons. Eurypylus became king of Cos and fared well until he was killed by Heracles, who was attacked by the inhabitants under the misapprehension he was a pirate. In fact, another account says he was, since he attacked the island in order to obtain possession of Chalciope, the daughter of Eurypylus. [Apollodorus 2.7.1,8; Pausanias 7.4.2; Apollonius Rhodius 2.866; Hyginus, Fables 178; Scholiast on Pindar's Nemean Odes 4.40.]

CALLIRRHOE (1) was a daughter of Oceanus and Tethys. By Chrysaor she became the mother of Geryones and Echidna. Chrysaor was a son of Poseidon by Medusa. When Perseus cut off Medusa's head, Chrysaor and Pegasus came forth, Chrysaor brandishing a golden sword. Perhaps he was not particularly monstrous-looking when he mated with Callirrhoe; the Oceanides usually managed to have presentable fathers for their children. However, the offspring from this union reverted to the type represented by their grandmother Medusa. Geryones was three-headed, and Echidna had a serpentine lower body. Both these monsters figured in the stories of Heracles. Callirrhoe had more normal children by other men. She had a daughter, Chione, by the Nile River and by Poseidon a son, Minyas, the ancestor of the Minyans. Callirrhoe was also said to be the mother of Cotys by Manes, the first king of Lydia. [Dionysius of Halicarnassus, Roman Antiquities 1.27; Hesiod, Theogony 280,351,981; Apollodorus 2.5.10; Hyginus, Fables 151; Servius on Virgil's Aeneid 4.250; Tzetzes on Lycophron 686.]

CALYCE, or Calycia, was the daughter of Hecaton. She was seduced by Poseidon and became the mother of Cycnus. Others called her Harpale or Scamandrodice. Cycnus was carried to full term in secrecy, for Calyce feared her father, and then she exposed the child on the seashore. Shepherds saw a swan descending on him and intervened, calling him Cycnus. He grew up to become king of Colonae in the Troad and married Procleia, a daughter of Laomedon, by whom he became father of Tenes and Hemithea. Calyce probably never learned what became of him but perhaps hoped his father, Poseidon, would protect him. [Hyginus, Fables 157.]

CELAENO was one of the Pleiades. By Poseidon she was the mother of Lycus and Eurypylus. According to some, she was mother of Lycus and Chimaereus by Prometheus, who was considered to be her husband. Others call her also mother of Triton, but that distinction is usually Amphitrite's. Nothing is known of Lycus except that he was transferred by his father to the Isles of the Blessed. Eurypylus was among the heroes of Hyria. He went to Cyrene in Libya, where he became connected with the Argonauts. It was he who gave Euphemus a clod of earth when the Argonauts passed through Lake Tritonis. Possession of this clod later established the right to rule over Libya. Eurypylus was married to Sterope, the daughter of Helios, by whom he became the father of Lycaon and Leucippus. [Apollodorus 3.10.1; Ovid, Heroides 19.135; Scholiast on Apollonius Rhodius 4.1561; Tzetzes on Lycophron 132,902.]

Alkaios Hipponome Menoikius Oklasos Pentheus Echion Agave AGAVE (1) was a daughter of Cadmus and Harmonia, who along with her sisters seemed to be born under an evil star. Her sisters were Autonoe, Ino, and Semele, and she had one brother, Polydorus. She married Echion, one of the Sparti who had sprung from the dragon's teeth sown by Cadmus at the founding of Thebes, and their only child was Pentheus. Echion helped Cadmus build Thebes, and he also dedicated a temple to Cybele in Boeotia. When Semele, during her pregnancy with Dionysus, was destroyed by the splendor of Zeus, Agave and her other sisters spread the report that Semele had been promiscuous and was trying to conceal her guilt by pretending divine fatherhood for her unbord child.

0315 Valerius Licinianus Licinius 0265 - 0325 Valerius Licinianus 60 60 Licinius was of peasant origin; his family was from Dacia.

A second war between Constantine and Licinius took place in 324. Licinius was defeated twice on July 3 at Adrianople and on September 18 at Chrysopolis. Soon thereafter, he surrendered to Constantine. Constantia interceded with her half-brother for the life of her husband, and Constantine spared Licinius' life, ordering him to reside at Thessalonike as a private citizen. A few months later, in the spring of 325, Constantine ordered Licinius to be executed, violating the oath which he had sworn to Constantia. A year or so later, in 326, the younger Licinius also fell victim to Constantine's wrath or suspicions.
0293 - 0330 Flavia Julia Constantia Constantius 37 37 The emperor Constantius (Chlorus) I and his wife Theodora had six children: Flavius Dalmatius, Julius Constantius, Hannibalianus, Constantia, Anastasia, and Eutropia. Constantia's full name was Flavia Julia Constantia. The date of her birth is not known; even the relative ages of the six siblings are unknown, so that any list is rather arbitrary in order. If one accepts 293 as the year of her parents' marriage --- that date, however, has been called in question -- then one may assume that she was born at the very earliest in the following year. Nor is there direct evidence for her place of birth. But a good case can be made for Trier, since this city served as Constantius' principal residence during the years 293-306, and here, too, she must have spent her childhood years.

Late in 311 or early in 312, Constantine I, Constantia's half-brother, betrothed her to his fellow-emperor Licinius. She was then eighteen years old at most, while Licinius was more than twice her age. The marriage took place some months later, probably in February of 313, on the occasion of Constantine's meeting with Licinius in Milan. But the relationship between the two emperors was a strained one, and open hostilities, the bellum Cibalense, erupted in 316. Constantia remained at her husband's side. In about July of 315 she bore him a son named Valerius Licinianus Licinius.

A second war between Constantine and Licinius took place in 324. Licinius. was defeated twice, on July 3 at Adrianople and on September 18 at Chrysopolis, and soon thereafter surrendered to Constantine. Constantia interceded with her half- brother for the life of her husband, and Constantine spared Licinius' life, ordering him to reside at Thessalonike as a private citizen. A few months later, in the spring of 325, Constantine ordered Licinius to be executed, violating an oath which he had sworn to Constantia. A year or so later, in 326, the younger Licinius also fell victim to Constantine's wrath or suspicions.

The loss of both husband and son must have been a severe blow to Constantia and must have strained her relationship to Constantine. Nevertheless she occupied a position of honor and influence at Constantine's court, held the rank of nobilissima femina, and received Constantine's loving attention; Constantine was at her side when she died ca, 330, before reaching the age of forty. We do not know when, where, or how Constantia first embraced Christianity. We do know that Eusebius, bishop of Nicomedia from ca. 317 on, wielded considerable influence at court. On one occasion Constantia exchanged letters with the other Eusebius, bishop of Caesarea. Jerome, Rufinus, Socrates, Sozomen, and Theodoret, while not in full agreement on some of the details, all report that she was a defender of the person and doctrine of Arius. She also attended the Council of Nicaea, where she counseled the representatives of the Arian party.

The tyrant Gyges was the founder of the Mermnadae dynasty, which lasted from c.700 B.C. to 550 B.C. The little kingdom grew to an empire in the chaos that had been left after the fall of the Neo-Hittite kingdom. Lydia was proverbially golden with wealth, and the capital, Sardis, was magnificent. To Lydian rulers is ascribed the first use of coined money in the 7th cent. B.C. Lydia had close ties with the Greek cities of Asia, which were for a time within the Lydian empire.

    [lorenfamily02.GED]

    The prosperity and power of Pergamum continued under Attalus II Philadelphus, who reigned from about 160 to 138BC, and Attalus III Philometor, who reigned from 138 to 133BC; the last-named ruler, having no heirs, bequeathed his kingdom to the Romans. Under Roman control, Pergamum remained one of the chief cities of Asia Minor, being the capital of the province of Asia. The ruins of the ancient city surround the modern town of Bergama. Noted for their splendor, they include a Roman theater, an amphitheater, and a circus.

Attalus III had little interest in the business of governing. He studied botany and pharmacology, and, according to www.ancientanatolia.com, was disliked by his subjects for testing toxins on human subjects. He left his kingdom to Rome and died in 133 B.C.E.
ABT 0165 BC Berenike ~1346 verch Hywel ABT 0221 BC - ABT 0160 BC Eumenes Attalus made his capital the artistic and literary center of Asia Minor. Eumenes II, son of Attalus I, continued the Roman policy of his father and brought most of Asia Minor under his sway. To his reign belong the altar of Zeus and the development of the library, founded by his father, where a group of scholars established a school of grammatical study in opposition to the scholars of the Alexandrian library. D. AFT 0185 BC Stratonice ABT 0269 BC - 0197 BC Attalus I Soter Pergamum, also known as Pergamon or Pergamos, ancient city of northwest Asia Minor, in Mysia (now Turkey), and later capital of the kingdom of Pergamum. The city acquired prominence when the Macedonian general Lysimachus chose its acropolis as a stronghold for his treasures, which he entrusted to the governor, Philetaeros. On the death of Lysimachus, Philetaeros became the ruler of Mysia and Troas. His nephew Eumenes I (reigned 263-241BC) developed the resources and prosperity of the kingdom. Eumenes' cousin and successor, Attalus I Soter, who reigned from 241 to 197BC, became master of northwestern Asia Minor through his victories over the Gauls and the Seleucid king Antiochus III, the Great, and allying himself with the power of Rome. Attalus made his capital the artistic and literary center of Asia Minor. ABT 0255 BC Apollonis Attalus Antiochus ABT 0345 BC Attalus BEF 0327 BC - 0309 BC Roxane Roxana (Bactrian: Roshanak, meaning "little star") wife of Alexander the Great, was born earlier than the year 327 BC although the date remains uncertain. The daughter of a Bactrian nobleman named Oxyartes, she married Alexander in 327 BC. The marriage was an attempt to politically win over the Bactrian satrapies although ancient sources describe Alexander's professed love for her. Roxana accompanied Alexander on his campaign in India in 326 BC. She bore Alexander a posthumous son called Alexander IV Aegus, after Alexander's sudden death at Babylon in 323 BC. With Alexander's death, Roxana and her son became victims of the political intrigues of the collapse of Alexandrian empire. They were protected by Alexander's mother, Olympias at Macedon, however her assassination in 316 BC allowed Cassander to seek kingship. As Alexander IV Aegus was the legitimate heir to the Alexandrian empire, he was murdered along with Roxana c.309 BC. 0377 BC - 0311 BC Oxyartes ABT 0364 BC Barsine ~1454 - 1485 Thomas Arundel 31 31 Knight ~0700 - ~0788 Hamayeak Mamikonian 88 88 ABT 0380 BC - ABT 0330 BC Darius III Codmannus Shah of Persia

Some Idumean robbers, having attacked Ascalon, a city of Palestine, carried away from a temple of Apollo which stood near the walls, in addition to other booty, Antipater, son of a certain temple slave named Herod. And since the priest was not able to pay the ransom for his son, Antipater was brought up in the customs of the Idumeans, and afterward was befriended by Hyrcanus, the high priest of the Jews. 12 And having, been sent by Hyrcanus on an embassy to Pompey, and having restored to him the kingdom which had been invaded by his brother Aristobulus, he had the good fortune to be named procurator of Palestine.

0029 - >0070 Berenice 41 41 A very beautiful woman, she was often involved in intrigue. After her first husband died, she was married to her uncle Herod of Chalcis. After his death (A.D. 48) she lived in incest with her brother, Herod Agrippa II, causing some scandal. Her third husband was the Cilician king Polemon II, whom she abandoned, returning to Herod Agrippa II. She and her brother sided with Rome in its struggle with Judaea. The emperor Titus apparently planned to marry her, but the Romans' great dislike of the Jews forced him to withdraw from the match. Titus' dilemma is the subject of Racine's play B?r?nice. ABT 0031 BC - ABT 0007 BC Aristobulus As eldest son of Herod by his favorite wife, the Hasmonean princess Mariamne, Aristobulus was slated to be Herod's successor but fell victim to his own arrogance & court intrigues. He was barely 3 yrs. old when his father executed his mother on false rumors of her infidelity spread by his paternal aunt Salome [29 BCE]. When he reached age 12, Herod sent him & his brother Alexander to Rome to be schooled in the household of Augustus [20 BCE]. When the handsome youths returned to Jerusalem 8 yrs. later, they attracted the adulation of many Jews. But the imperious manner of these Hasmonean princes who had lived for much of their lives at the very center of Roman imperial power frequently offended Herod & incited the jealousy of their older half-brother, Antipater III, who skillfully fed the aging king's fury with rumors of his favored sons' disloyalty. Finally in 7 BCE, after many failed attempts at reconciliation between the king & his designated heirs, the ailing Herod had Aristobulus & Alexander strangled on charges of treason & elevated Antipater to the rank of his co-regent & heir apparent. Yet Herod retained his affection for Aristobulus' children (his grand-children by Mariamne), three of whom -- Agrippa I, Herod III & Herodias -- rose to prominence in the politics of the next generation of Jewish rulers.

Early British Kingdoms

Ygerne (Eigyr), who, a widow, by Eutherius [Uthyr Pendragon], the “King of Britain”, was the mother of King Arthur "The Great". [Eutherius had long time been “Duke of Britain” under his brother Ambrosius, Governor, King of Britain, and rival Roman Emperor 472 (Oct) to 473 (Mar), who died childless, and was succeeded by his brother. St. Gildas says that Ambrosius was the son of a Roman Emperor, and that he descended from the Roman “caesars”.]

Sister of King Arthur of legend


Queen Ygerna alias Igraine
(Born c.AD 452)
(Welsh: Eigr; Latin: Ygerna; English: Igraine)
According to Geoffrey of Monmouth, Ygerna or Igraine (Eigr in Welsh) was the Duchess of Cornwall, ravishing wife of Gorlois and mother of King Arthur. After the death of Gorlois, she married Uther Pendragon, who, under false pretenses and aided by Merlin's trickery, had slept with her, impregnated her with Arthur and had been responsible for her husband's death. Chretien de Troyes claims that after Uther's death, Ygerna retired to a palace she had had built for herself known as the Chastel des Merveilles or "Castle of Wonders".

She was the daughter of Amlawdd Wledig (the Imperator), a member of a younger branch of the Royal House of Dumnonia. He was probably a nobleman of Ergyng, though he has also been attached to the North of Britain and Brittany. His family are central to the Mabinogion story of "Culhwch and Olwen". As well as Arthur, various sources have attributed Ygerna with several children by her first marriage: daughters Elaine, (Anna) Morgause and, perhaps mistakenly, Morgan; sons Gormant and, mistakenly, Cador.

Bithiah Riphath Riphath, 'spoken', Riphath Scot (?), Rephath. He was the father of the Riphaei, Riphaces, Piphlataei, Paphlagonians, Aenetas [Greek], and all the Slavic tribes and nations.

He was exceptionally strong and an expert in the martial arts. He invented the art of making brass.

As pointed out by Sir Laurence Gardner in his book, Genesis of the Grail Kings, the biblical Tubal-cain (who is revered in scientific Freemasonry) was the great Vulcan of Mesopotamia during the reign of Egypt's King Narmer (c. 3200 BC). He was a prominent alchemist and the greatest metallurgist of his age, while his step-brother Jubal was said to be "the ancestor of all who handle the lyre and pipe", hence derived the word "jubilee", meaning "a blast of trumpets" or "to lead with triumph or pomp". The ritual connection in pleasing the gods with brass horns and trumpets is very apparent in this era and a later association between angels and the mediaeval buisine (long trumpet) probably originates from this time.

From the "Theosophical Glossary", H. P. Blavatsky, 1892: Tubal-Cain (Heb.). The Biblical Kabir, "an instructor of every artificer in brass and iron", the son of Zillah and Lamech; one with the Greek Hephaestos or Vulcan. His brother Jubal, the son of Adah and the co-uterine brother of Jabal, one the father of those "who handle the harp and organ", and the other the father "of such as have cattle", are also Kabiri: for, as shown by Strabo, it is the Kabiri (or Cyclopes in one sense) who made the harp for Kronos and the trident for Poseidon, while some of their other brothers were instructors in agriculture. Tubal-Cain (or Thubal-Cain) is a word used in the Master-Mason's degree in the ritual and ceremonies of the Freemasons.

Exceptionally strong, expert in the martial arts. Invented the art of making brass.

(Born c.AD 330)
(Welsh: Erbin; Latin: Urbanus; English: Urban)
The eldest son of Conan Meriadoc by his second wife, St. Darerca, though known as Gradlon the Great in Brittany, but was mostly called Urban outside his kingdom. In his youth, when he was a pagan, Gradlon is said to have fallen deeply in love with a beautiful half-woman/half-fairy. Unfortunately however, he later offended this mysterious creature by converting to Christianity and seeking the counsel of St. Gwenole. The fairy fled from Gradlon across a torrential river, warning him not to follow. The brave Breton, however, plunged headlong into the swirling waters after her. The fairy was forced to save his life, but spurned him nevertheless and hated him all the more for having made her admit that she loved him still.
The so-called ' King' - probably a governor - took quickly to the new religion. While out hunting, one day, he became separated from his entourage and found himself lost in the great Forest of Menez-Hom. Almost dead from exhaustion and hunger, he eventually stumbled across the hermitage of St. Cornetin (now built upon by Plomodiern). St. Corentin kept a marvellous fish from which he cut a slice to sustain him every day. The fish would be found miraculously whole again in the morning. The saint happily shared his meal with the Breton King and he was thus brought back to health. As a reward for his hospitality, Gradlon made St. Corentin the first Bishop of Cornouaille.
The King's first fairy-love returned, in later years, to possess the mind of Gradlon's daughter, Dahut, who thence became the most wicked of Breton women. She built a castle over the River Argent in the Huelgoat Forest, to which a different suitor was invited every night. Each was given a black mask to wear so he could not look upon Dahut's face. Then the revelries began. At the end of a thoroughly enjoyable evening, however, hidden springs would shoot out from the mask and strangle the wearer! Dahut would then have the body thrown into the nearby forest caves.
Gradlon's main power-base was Cornouaille and his capital was the beautiful city of Caer Ys which stood in, what is now, the Bay of Douarnenez. It was a low lying city with a large dyke to keep back the sea. Gradlon kept the key to the sluice gates hung around his neck at all times. One night, however, the evil Dahut stole the key while her father was sleeping and slipped away to open the gates in some sort of sadistic game. The raging sea immediately invaded the city. Gradlon awoke with barely enough time to jump on his horse and race ahead of the torrential waves. Spying his daughter in the streets, and being unaware of her crimes, he just managed to pull her up behind him. On they rode ahead of the waves until they reached higher ground where St.Gwenole was waiting. "Cast off the demon that is riding behind you!" he cried, but Gradlon did not understand the saint. So Gwendole pushed Dahut into the sea himself, and immediately the waves were calm once more.
Gradlon made his new capital at Corspotium (Quimper), where his statue can be seen in front of the Cathedral. It is said that the bells of the churches of Ys can still be heard on stormy nights at sea. Upon Gradlon's death, he was succeeded by his son, Salomon I; followed by his grandson, Aldrien.
Generally considered legendary.

His descendants came to becalled Canaanites, and were the inhabitants of the land which was laterwon from them by Shem's descendants, the Israelites. (Everyone in theBible, by William P. Barker, 1966) From Canaan descended these nations: Jebusites, Amorites, Girgashites,Hivites, Arkites, Sinites, Arvadites, Zemarites, Hamathites. Eventuallythe descendants of Canaan spread from Sidon all the way to Gerar, in theGaza strip; and to Sodom, Gomorrah, Admah, and Zeboiim, near Lasha. (Gen.10:15-19) The posterity of Canaan settled in the land that was later to be given toIsrael. At the time of the Israelite conquest, the population of Canaanconsisted of all the tribes descended from him. Both Sanchuniathon andPhylo of Byblos confirm the fact that the Canaanites derived their namefrom their founder. The Greeks and Phoenicians knew the name as Kna'an;the Egyptians knew it as Kn'nw; and the Hurrians described certain dyedcloth as Kinahne or Canaanite cloth. In spite of their Hamitic descent,however, the Canaanites spoke a Semitic language.

And when Noah was made sensible of what had been done, he prayed for prosperity to his other sons; but for Ham, he did not curse him, by reason of his nearness in blood, but cursed his prosperity: and when the rest of them escaped that curse, God inflicted it on the children of Canaan. But as to these matters, we shall speak more hereafter.   Title: First Book of Chronicles Note: Chron. 1:8 The sons of Ham; Cush, and Mizraim, Put, and Canaan.   Title: LDS Bible Dictionary Note: BD CANAAN The name of the fourth son of Ham (Gen. 9: 22; Gen. 10: 6); .. .  Title: Navigating the Bible Publication: Note: Canaan, Canaanites The fourth son of Ham, the grandson of Noah and the ancestor of the Canaanites (Genesis 10:6, 15-19). Ham was cursed by Noah for gazing upon his nakedness: 'Cursed be Canaan; a slave of slaves shall he be to his brothers' (Genesis 9:22-27; Genesis 10:6). Canaan is said to be the ancestor of Sidon, Heth, the Jebusites, the Amorites, the Girgashites, the Hivites, the Arkites, the Sinites, the Arvadites, the Tzemarites, the Chamatites and the Canaanites. The land of Canaan is generally said to mean the land and people of Syria and Palestine, from Phoenicia (especially Sidon) to the north and Gaza to the south-west, inland to the Dead Sea cities of Sodom and Gomorrah. The Canaanites were the early Semitic inhabitants of Canaan (later Israel and Syria), exerting considerable influence over the region, from Asia Minor to the Aegean between c.1800-1600 B.C.E. and making an important contribution to Hebrew language and culture. Excavations at Jericho, Megiddo and Chamath date their settlement back to at least 3000 B.C.E. Canaanite strength was dissipated by the rise of the Egyptian New Empire and was further weakened by Hittite, Hivite and Amorite invaders. Later incursions from the Philistines, the Aramaeans and the Israelites sent the Canaanites into Lebanon and the narrow coastal strip area including Sidon where, under the name of Phoenicians, they built ships and became traders, establishing colonies in Cyprus, Sardinia, North Africa and Spain. By the time of Abraham the term 'Canaanite' had become a generic name since many of the tribes had intermarried. Yepheth (Japeth) When his father lay drunk in his tent, Yepheth and Shem covered his nakedness. Noah blessed Yepheth: 'May God enlarge Yepheth, and let him dwell in the tents of Shem; And let Canaan be a slave to them' (Genesis 9:27).   Title: Web sites Note: Cana, Canaanites (Canaan, Canaanites). The Hebrew word Kenaan, denoting a person, occurs: 1. in the Old Testament as the name of one of Ham's sons; 2. in a lengthened form, Kenaanah (D.V., Chanana, Canaana) as the name of two other people (I Par., vii, 10; II Par., xviii, 10); 3. denoting a country, as the name of the region of the Canaanites or descendants of Canaan. ... CANAAN, THE SON OF HAM In Genesis 9:18 and 9:22, Ham appears as the father of Canaan and in Noah's prediction (9:25-27) Canaan stands side by side with his "brothers" (in the larger sense of the Hebrew word) Shem and Japheth: "He said: Cursed be Canaan, a servant of servants shall he be unto his brethren. "And he said: Blessed be the Lord God of Shem, be Canaan his servant. "May God enlarge Japheth, and may he dwell in the tents of Shem, and Canaan be his servant." The curse called down on Canaan is undoubtedly connected with the sin of his father, Ham (verse 22). But it is rather hard to indicate the precise nature of this connection. Had Canaan in some way a share in his father's sin, and is it for this reason that what was said in verse 18 is repeated in the story of the sin, viz.: that Ham was the father of Canaan? Or is the latter struck by Noah's prophetic curse for the sins of his posterity, who were to imitate Ham's wickedness? Certain it is, that this curse, as well as the blessing invoked upon Shem and Japheth, was especially fulfilled in their posterity. The descendants of Canaan were partly rooted out, partly subjected by the Israelites and all the Canaanite races, as such, disappeared from the scene of history. Others have tried to solve the problem by critical methods. It was supposed that Gen., x, 20-27 was derived from a source in which Canaan had taken the place of his father, Ham, and so was passed off as Noah's third son. It is as conceivable that in the original prophecy the name of Ham occurred, and that the Israelites, seeing the prophecy fulfilled, especially in the posterity of Canaan might have changed it to that of the son. But none of these critical conjectures has any solid foundation. Quite uncertain, too, is the opinion which represents Canaan as the youngest of Ham's four sons. It is based on Gen., x, 6: "And the sons of Ham: Chus, and Mesram and Phuth, and Canaan". But this whole list of the descendants of Noah's sons is, at least in substance, ethnographical, and the order of succession geographical, hence an enumeration of tribes beginning with the most distant and ending in Palestine. In verses 16-20, therefore, there is question only of Canaanite tribes, and they occupy the Iast place because they dwell in or near, Palestine. Consequently it cannot be concluded from this that Canaan was the youngest son of Ham. [New Advent Catholic Encyclopedia (http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/03569b.htm)]  The posterity of Canaan settled in the land that was later to be given to Israel.

Robert Fitz-Pain, who, doing his homage in the 30th Henry III [1246], had livery of his lands in the counties of Wilts, Somerset, and Dorset, and Netherwent, in Wales. In the 41st of the same reign [1257], he had two military summonses to march against the Welsh, but after this he appears to have joined the barons and to have taken a prominent part in the battle of Lewes where the baronial banner waved in triumph. He d. in 1280, and was s. by his son, Robert Fitz-Payne.

The family does not appear under this name in Normandy, its proper name being le Venour or Venatori, so named from the office of Veneur or Venator derived from Vanabulum, a hunting spear, or more properly a boar spear, which reflects his origin. Being from a line of hereditary huntsmen or Venero of the Norman Dukes. In Normandy there was Arnulph, Gislebert, Gaufridus, Hugh and Richard Venator in Normandy in 1180-1195. Waller de Veneur was eminently distinguished in 960 at the battle of the Fords between Lothair, King of France, and the Normans, where he rescued Duke Robert I of Normandy.

Gislebert Venator or de Venables was one of three brothers who came to England with Hugh Lupus, first Earl of Cheshire, Eng. He was ancestor of the Barons of Kinderton, of whom Gislebert Venables of Cheshire is mentioned in 1180 as Gislebert Venator of Normandy, proving the connection between the English and French Venables, His French descendants bore argent a bend azure fretty or for difference. He was with William the Conqueror and his name is on the Roll of Battle Abbey. Showing still further the proof of his French origin, Gislebert de Venables, on the division of the spoils after the battle of Hastings, he received his share under the name of Venator, and many English records refer to him under this name. He received extensive estates and was one of the English Barons attached to the Earldom of Chester under Hugh Lupus, Earl of Chester.

    -----From "The Pedigree of de Hoghton of Hoghton Tower"------
    -----Visitors Information Brochure (nice place to visit)--------------

    General Statement of Hoghton family pedigree: The de Hoghtons are of ancient lineage, descended from Harvey de Walter, one of the companions of William the Conqueror, and through the female line from the Lady Godiva of Coventry, wife of Leofric III the Great, Earl of Mercia. After the third generation from the Norman Conquest, Richard and William de Hoghton first assumed the family name around 1150. The great-grandson, Sir Adam de Hoghton, was knighted and died in 1290.

    Sir Richard de Hoghton 1316-1345, Knight of the Shire in the Parliaments of 1322-27-37. Married Sybilla de Lea, direct descendant of the Lady Godiva, whose lands in Lea still form part of the Hoghton Estates. Warden of the Ports, knighted by Edward III in 1336 and given permission to empark in 1327. It was from Lea Hall (his private residence), that Thomas Hoghton went into exile in 1569, having re-built Hoghton Tower 1560-1565.

    Note: There is a Master Richard de Hoghton 1290-1316, Sheriff of Lancaster 1282, 1291 & 1301 mentioned in the brochure as a predecessor of this Richard. May have been an uncle.

1102. In 1103 he was in alliance with his father's old nemesis, ROBERT
DE BEAUMONT, Count of Meulan (RIN 1031). Ralph made the trip to
England to receive his father's English lands from King HENRY I (RIN 789).
In 1104 he returned to Normandy with, and as an ardent supporter of,
King HENRY. He participated in the battle of Tinchebrai in 1106. When
rebellion broke out in Normandy in 1119, Ralph remained loyal to King
HENRY. Ralph is mentioned several times as being in the King HENRY's
company.

Some show Alan as the son of Gilbert de Neville born abt 1035 , brother of Gilbert de Neville born abt 1085 , (father of Geoffrey de Neville) and others show him as the son of Ernise de Neville or AErnisius de Neville and nephew to reported brother Gilbert de Neville born abt 1085. Others show him as a son of Ralph de Neville. Others show an Alan died 1190 as the son of Ernise. Some say he died in 1191, was a judge and show him as brother to Gilbert born 1035 (hardly think so with 156 years between dates) Seeminly Alan de Neville died 1190 is the son of Alan that say died about 1178 (perhaps)

There is evidently a witness list of one of Gilbert de Neville born 1035 charters that name his two younger sons William and Walter and include Alan de Neville son of Ernise.

One of Alans charters in Kirkstead abbey was reportedly witnessed by brother Gilbert and Gilberts son Geoffrey which would make him the son of Gilbert. Somehow I doubt the charter said brother Gilbert and son Geoffrey.

Observations.-The origin of this family is obscure. Henry Tyeys, who held Great Moulton, Norfolk, at the time of his death, is mentioned as dead in 1212, and another man of the same name was granted the
manor of South Mimms, Middlesex, in 1216. On 9 August in that year Henry Tyeys and others were granted protection for themselves and their followers, and he may have been one of King John's mercenary captains.

HENRY TYEYS in 1221 was granted lands in Tywarnhaile, Cornwall, to sustain him in the King's service, and he probably acquired lands in Devon at the same time, for in 1223 the sheriff of that co. was ordered to seize Henry's lands. In 1224 he was given 10 marks to help him to buy a horse; and the appearance of his name among those who were granted writs of protection in March 1225, for going to Gascony with Richard of Cornwall, marks the beginning of a close association of this family with the Earls of Cornwall. In 1230 he was given the manor of Grendon Underwood, Bucks, in lieu of the fee of £10 per annum which he was receiving from the Crown; and more royal gifts were made to him in 1234 and 1240. The name of his wife (d) and the date of his death are not known (e). [Complete Peerage XII/2:100-1, (transcribed by Dave Utzinger)]

(d) She may have been called Isabel, for in 1221, Henry le Tyeis and Isabel his wife appear in a lawsuit in London.

(e) Probably he d. long before 1276, when his son Henry held the family lands. On 26 Jan 1272/3 Gunnor, widow of a Henry Tyeys, was granted the arrears of her husband's wages for the time when he had been in the late King's service. This Henry is, however, probably the man who appears in the years 1256-61 as the maker of the King's cross-bows, receiving a wage of 4 1/2 pence daily. A Henry le Tyeis appears in 1241 as a messenger from Otto, Duke of Brunswick-Luneburg, and a man of the same name paid 1/2 mark fine in 1250.

    Certain lands in Losley were sold with the manor of Walton Mauduit by the Earl of Warwick to Simon de Wauton, Bishop of Norwich (1258-66). The bishop conveycd them to John de Wauton, who was probably his great-nephew.

    In January 1246 Mr. Simon de Wauton (or Walton) received a grant of a weekly market on Wednesday and a fair on the eve and day of SS. Peter and Paul at his manor of LITTLE WELLESBOURNE. This Mr. Simon, who bought property in Walton Deyville, became Bishop of Norwich in 1258 and died in 1265. His successor Sir John de Wauton died in or shortly before 1277,

    His successor, Roger Deyville, became heavily indebted to the Jews and sold the manor to Simon de Wauton, who granted it to his son John. This Simon may have been identical with the Mr. Simon who held the manor of Welles-bourne Hastings (see above) and who in 1240 bought from William Mauduit and Alice his wife 6 acres in Walton called Litlemede lying beside the Portwey. Mr. Simon was elderly when he became bishop and may well have been married when young.

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

    Note: I believe that the above indicates that Simon may well have been more than "Uncle" to John, but was his father while he was married before taking the bishopric.

This nobleman was amongst the principal barons who took up arms against King John, and was appointed one of the twenty-five chosen to enforce the observance of Magna Carta. In the ensuing reign, still opposing the arbitrary proceedings of the crown, he fought on the side of the barons at Lincoln, and was taken prisoner there by William Marshall, Earl of Pembroke; but he soon afterwards made his peace.

Patent Rolls). Possibly he is the same who was on service in Scotland, Ireland, and Wales between 1284 and 1287 (Idem). On 30 July 1297 John de Hastang, of Staffordshire, was one of the sureties for John, Earl of Atholl, on his release (31 July) from the Tower (Cal. Close Rolls). In 1296 he had letters of protection on going beyond the seas on the King's service (Cal. Patent Rolls). On 31 August 1306 he was steward of the Queen's Household, and was on 1 December 1307 (when she was Queen Dowager) to accompany her abroad (Idem). On 1 August 1309 he had licence to crenellate his dwelling house at Chebsey (Idem). He was summoned for Military Service 1311, 1314, and 1315, and in 1316 was returned as lord of the township of Chebsey (Palgrave, Parl., Writs). On 20 August 1321 he was pardoned for his share against the Despensers, which pardon seems to have been annulled 25 September 1321 (Cal. Patent Rolls), but he was summoned to the Council of 9 May 1324 as from Staffordshire. He is mentioned as lord of Chebsey 1374/5, and in the Subsidy Roll of 1 Edward III he was assessed 5s. 3/4d. at Chebsey and Robert Hastang 2s. 3d. He was dead in or before 1332, when Thomas Hastang was assessed 5s. in Chebsey and Maud Hastang 2s. 6d. (Subsidy Roll, William Salt Soc.,vol.x,p.99). His wife Eva appears to have predeceased him. They are both mentioned in connection with the manor of East Leamington, co. Warwick, and tenements in Slyndon and Hilcote, co. Stafford, in 1311 (William Salt Soc., vol. ix, i, 35).

After crushing, or compelling the alliance of, various nations unknown to fame (Alpilzuri, Alcidzuri, Himari, Tuncarsi, Boisci), they at length reached the Alani, a powerful nation which had its seat between the Volga and the Don; these also, after a struggle, they defeated and finally enlisted in their service. They then proceeded, in 374, to invade the empire of the Ostrogoths (Greutungi), ruled over by the aged Ermanaric, or Hermanric, who died (perhaps by his own hand) while the critical attack was still impending. Under his son Hunimund a section of his subjects promptly made a humiliating peace; under Withemir (Winithar), however, who succeeded him in the larger part of his dominions, an armed resistance was organized; but it resulted only in repeated defeat, and finally in the death of the king. The representatives of his son Witheric put an end to the conflict by accepting the condition of vassalage. Balamir now directed his victorious arms still farther westward against that portion of the Visigothic nation (or Tervingi) which acknowledged the authority of Athanaric. The latter entrenched himself on the frontier which had separated him from the Ostrogoths, behind the “ Greutungrampart “ and the Dniester; but he was surprised by the enemy, who forded the river in the night, fell suddenly upon his camp, and compelled him to abandon his position. Athanaric next attempted to establish himself in the territory between the Pruth and the Danube, and with this object set about heightening the old Roman wall which Trajan had erected in north-eastern Dacia; before his fortifications, however, were complete, the Iluns were again upon him, and without a battle he was forced to retreat to the Daflube. The remainder of the Visigoths, under Alavivus and Fritigern, now began to seek, and ultimately were successful in obtaining (376), the permission of the emperor Valeirs to settle in Thrace; Athanaric meanwhile took refuge in Transylvania, thus abandoning the field without any serious struggle to the irresistible Huns. For more than fifty years the Roman world was undisturbed by any aggressive act on the part of the new invaders, who contented themselves with overpowering various tribes which lived to the north of the Danube. In some instances, in fact, the Huns lent their aid to the Romans against third parties; thus in 404—405 certain Hunnic tribes, under a chief or king named Uldin, assisted Honorius in the struggle with Radagaisus (Ratigar) and his Ostrogoths, and took a prominent part in the decisive battle fought in the neighbourhood of Florence. Once indeed, in 409, they are said to have crossed the Danube and invaded Bulgaria under perhaps the same chief (Uldin), but extensive desertions soon compelled a retreat.

There are lineages online showing him as the son of a Liu, son of Chine se Emperor Liu Yao Shi (280-329). However, this is not documented.

Wu Chu Liu's mother was not a Hun princess. And, Atilla could not have descended from Wu Chu Liu, because the latter was the progenitor of Southern Hsiung-Nu khans. Atilla apparently stemmed from the Northern branch of Hsiung-Nu. -- Igor Sklar, GEN-MEDIEVAL, 2 Feb 2003

Gilbert, Count of Brionne From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Gilbert/Giselbert "Crispin", Count of Brionne and Eu, (ca. 1002-1040), the great progenitor of the illustrious house of Clare, of the Barons Fitz Walter, and the Earls of Gloucester and Hertford was the son of an illegitimate child of Richard the Fearless and inherited Brionne, becoming one of the most powerful landowners in Normandy. He married Gunnora d'Aunou, He had children by his wife and a mistress.  (prob) Esilia Crispin, (b. ca. 1028), (d. ca. 1072). m. William Malet, Seigneur of Graville, (ca. 1042).  Sir Richard Fitz Gilbert (b. ca. 1035).  Baldwin de Clare.   When Robert I, Duke of Normandy died in 1035 his illegitimate son William inherited his father's title. Several leading Normans, including Gilbert of Brionne, Osbern the Seneschal and Alan of Brittany, became William's guardians.  A number of Norman barons including Raoul de Gacé would not accept an illegitimate son as their leader. In 1040 an attempt was made to kill William but the plot failed. Gilbert however was murdered while he was peaceably riding near Eschafour. It is believed two of his killers were Ralph of Wacy and Robert de Vitot. This appears to have been an act of vengeance for wrongs inflicted upon the orphan children of Giroie by Gilbert, and it is not clear what Raoul de Gacé had to do in the business.

Through his wife Ivetta, Richard became 4th Lord Warrington. Robert's descendants were the most distinguished and illustrious of the Anglo-Norman nobility who invaded Ireland. Robert was a cousin to William Malet, famous Irish noble. The name Butler comes from their appointment as Hereditary Chief butler of Ireland. In the days when the sovereign really ruled, it was highly important to be able to gain the Royal ear, and what more useful opportunity than when pouring the royal draught of wine? ~1105 Ivetta Helgot ~1070 Richard Pincerna Richard was the head butler for the Earl of Chester. His son carried on this noble duty. Eventually Richard's great grandson gave up his last name and used the name that everyone called the family, Le Boteler, the Butler, because by the now the Pincerna's were noble in their own right due to the start given by Richard, the Butler.
Richard was well taken care of by the Earl of Chester, so much that Richard's heirs provided benefactions to St. Werburgh's Abbey in Chester, where Richard was buried.

Alured de Merleberge, a Norman Baron of Ewias Castle in the Marches of Wales. Father and daughter are mentioned in Domesday Book (1086 AD). Alured, according to this book, in 1086 was holding great estates direct from the King, in the Marches of Wales, in Herefordshire, Surrey, Hampshire, Wiltshire, Somersetshire, besides others by grants from fellow Lords. he evidently was a favorite with the great William Fitz Osbourne (a relative of the King and second in command at Senlac [Hastings]) for after Earl William had built the strong Castle of Ewias, he gave it to Merleberge."

It was often said of him that he began the fall of the Latham clan ofthe halls of power. He was quite unfaithful to his wife Lady Alice.He was a mean and abusive husband. He had a long term affair with Martha Jane Hargrove and he had divorced Lady Alice to marry her. On the very day of his 2nd wedding, he was riding horseback with the wedding party. He was galloping after Martha when he failed to duckunder a tree limb. He was
knocked from his horse and broke his neck.

Lady Alice with the help of her friends and relatives was able to get the marriage annulled because it was never "legally" consummated. Lady Alice was named regent for her son Robert. It is said of Martha Hargrove that she bore Lord Henry a bastard daughter 8 months after his death.

1094 - 1165 Alice Woodward 71 71 Lady of Lathom/Regent 1073 - 9 Jan 1094/1095 Siward fitzDunning de Latham 4 Mar 1063/1064 - 1094 Helga de Chester ~1031 - 1092 Dunning de Latham 61 61 Sir Dunning was a traitor to his Saxon heritage and was appointed by the Norman invaders as the first Norman Lord of Lathom. He and his wife, Lady Marigard De Essex are from the 2nd generation in an unbroken line of 35 generations. They share this distinction with Lord Henry De Chester, Jr. and his wife, Lady Helene Tudor. He diedof pneumonia.

The original meaning of the place name Lathom or Latham was `the barn house', which probably meant a warehouse or storehouse.

The 2nd earliest place names were the Chapelry of Lathom, in County Lancaster, England; and Latham, in Yorkshire, England.

The first one to bear the Latham surname was a Saxon traitor named Dunning, who was living in County Lancaster about the time of the Norman conquest in 1066 A.D. Because of his collaboration with the Normans and his betrayal of his Saxon heritage, the Normans reward Dunning with the lordship of the Chapelry of Lathom, the title of Earl, and with a knighthood. Thus Dunning, traitor to the Saxonpeople; became Sir Dunning Latham, Earl of Lathom in the Spring of 1067 A.D.

In both early English and American records, the surname of Latham or Lathom has taken on many different spellings. The most common of these are: Latham, Lathem, Lathim, Lathom, Lathome, Lathum, Laytham, Leatham, Leathom, Leetham, Leethem, Lethem, and Lethom. The probable reason for these various spellings is the fact that so many of ourearly ancestors could neither read nor
write. Whenever it was necessary for a name to be written down by someone who could read and write, it was sounded out by different people differently and over the years as literacy improved, the wrong spellings had become the traditional way the various families chose to spell it. The spelling Latham is the one that is the most common usage and is surely the original spelling. In early English history, 7
distinctclans of Lathams emerged and could be found in the following counties: Lancaster, which was Sir Dunnings direct decendants; York, Somerset, Chester, Essex, Worchester, Cambridge and in London.

Over the years the Latham family has been very prolific, and many of them produced very large families indeed! The average sized Latham family has been between 7 to 10 children. Early families have beenfounded both by landed gentry and by the lower landless classes referred to as yeoman.

The Leigh Family of West Hall

D. & S. Lysons in Magna Britannia, give details of the relationship of several branches of the Legh and Leigh families and the notes below shown indented are simplified from this source. The Leighs of West Hall arrived in High Legh about 70 years after the Leghs of East Hall.

"Egerton Leigh of West Hall in High Legh and Twemlow, Esq. is descended from Richard Lymme who in the late 13th century married Agnes the daughter and sole heiress of Richard de Legh. Agnes had a second husband, William Venables, and they had a son, John, who (also) took the name of Legh and settled at Booths. William Venables was descended from Gilbert Venables the first baron of Kinderton who held land in Cheshire under Hugh Lupus after the Norman Conquest.

John Legh was the common ancestor of the following branches of the Legh family of which the first seven were in Cheshire.

1. Legh of Sandbach, who became extinct after two generations.
2. Legh of Booths, of whom Willoughby Legh was the representative in 1810 with the Leighs of West Hall also as descendants of this branch.
3. Leigh of Oughtrington, who are descended from John a younger son of Richard Leigh of West Hall as a result of his marriage to an heiress in the reign of Edward IV. Trafford, Esq. of Oughtrington was the lineal descendant of this branch but assumed the name Trafford in compliance with the will of a maternal uncle.
4. Legh of Adlington, who became extinct by the death of Charles Legh in 1781 were descended from Robert, a younger son of the first John Legh of Booths.
5. Legh of Baguely were descended from Sir William Legh, a younger son of the second Sir John Legh of Booths but became extinct in 1688.
6. Legh of Lyme were descended from Piers, a younger son of Robert Legh of Adlington mentioned above, and became extinct by the death of Thomas Peter Legh of Lyme in 1797.
7. Legh of Ridge arise from John a younger son of Sir Peter Legh of Lyme, who married the heiress of Alcock of Ridge.
8. Leigh of Ifell in Cumberland, extinct from about 1600

The Leigh Family of West Hall

D. & S. Lysons in Magna Britannia, give details of the relationship of several branches of the Legh and Leigh families and the notes below shown indented are simplified from this source. The Leighs of West Hall arrived in High Legh about 70 years after the Leghs of East Hall.

"Egerton Leigh of West Hall in High Legh and Twemlow, Esq. is descended from Richard Lymme who in the late 13th century married Agnes the daughter and sole heiress of Richard de Legh. Agnes had a second husband, William Venables, and they had a son, John, who (also) took the name of Legh and settled at Booths. William Venables was descended from Gilbert Venables the first baron of Kinderton who held land in Cheshire under Hugh Lupus after the Norman Conquest.

BIOGRAPHY: Crest: An ostrich proper holding in his mouth a key or.

BIOGRAPHY: Motto--Toujours loyal.

BIOGRAPHY: The Lindsays of Scotland are one of the most ancient and honorable houses of the scottish kingdom. They intermarried with the royal princesses and at one time were second only to the royal family. According to the historian of the Lindsay family the first of the name to appear in Scotland were tow brothers, Walter and William de Lindsay, Anglo-Normans, about 1116. They were the sons of Baron Baldric de Linesay, a Norman kinght related to and contemporary with William the Conqueror

BIOGRAPHY: The de Linesays were of Norman extraction and the family was seated near Rouen for many centuries, and through their Norwegian ancestor, Malahulc, are remote descendants of the great house of De Toeny, the hereditary standardbearers of Normandy.

BIOGRAPHY: William de Lindsay, of Ercildun, grandson of the first William, was "high judiciary of Lothian," one of the highest offices in the kingdom. This William was the Lindsay who first acquired the magnificent mountain estateof Crawford, from which the Lindsays take their title of Earl of Crawford, situated in Lanarkshire. This estate was held by the family until 1488, when DavidLindsay, fifth Earl of Crawford and Duke of Montrose, was deprived of it by the misfortunes of civil war.

BIOGRAPHY: Randolph de Linesay, younger brother of Baron Baldric de Linesay, came over to England with his kinsman, William theConqueror, who bestowed upon him about 40 lordships in dirrerent counties in England for his services. His great-grand-daughter, Aleanora de Linesay, one of the richest heiresses in England, married her Scotch cousin, Sir David de lindsay, thus uniting the two branches of the house in 1199.

BIOGRAPHY: One of the most noted members of the Lindsay family was Sir David Lindsay of the Mount, Lord lion King at arms to King James V. The title of Lion King was born by the chief of the heraldic corporation of Scotland. Sir David lindsay was a poet andreligious reformer, exerting his influence against the Church of Rome. Sir David Lindsay was appointed lion King in 1530 and was considered the chief judge of chivalry and acted as ambassador to foreigh countries.

BIOGRAPHY: It is from still another David Lindsay that the Lindsay family of Virginia trace their direct line of descent--Rev. David Lindsay, known to the world as the Minister of Leith, the celebrated Bishop of Ross Rev. David Lindsay was the son of Alexander Lindsay, of Edzell Castle, who was the son of David Lindsay, eight Ear of Crawford. Rev. David Lindsay, Bishop of Ross, was chaplain for King James I of England and VI of Scotland. He is said to have been a man of great ability and deep learning. He held several high offices under the crown. The Bishop of Ross, had the honor of being the only minister of note who had prayers for the beautiful and unhappy Mary Queen of Scots at the time of her execution. Rev. David Lindsay accompanied King James on his matrimonial voyage to Denmark and performed the marriage ceremony. He was a noted diplomat and iinguist. Bishop Lindsay baptized king Charles I and his brother, Prince Henry.

BIOGRAPHY: After manyyears of service at the English court the Bishop of Ross was succeeded by his son-in-law, Archbishop, spottswood, the king's primane, and he returned to his ministry at Leith, where he died in 1613. His son-in-law, Archbishop Spottswood, says of him: "A man of peaceful nature, wise and moderate, and universally beloved by all wise men."

BIOGRAPHY: The Bishop of Ross left two children--a son and a daughter. His son was Sir Jerome, or Hierome, Lindsay, of Annatland, who married, first, Margaret Colville, a daughter

"The Suttons were Normans in the beginning and before anybody had a surname in the modern sense. It is one of the few names which is practically without variants, although one New England forbearer tried "Sutten" apparently, however, with indifferent success, as few, if any of the family now spell it with an "e". The first Sutton was a Norman and in the train of William the Conqueror when he started upon his never-to-be-forgotten expedition. Sutton-upon-Trent was granted to him as his share of the spoils, to have and to hold forever, and so the Norman Sutton became an English Sutton. (All of this information on the Sutton family is from page 6, 7 and 8 of an unknown publication with the heading of "Decendants of the Sutton-Beasley family of Brown Co., Ohio.")

Sud-tun, meaning a place of dwelling in the South, is the original form of Sutton, and is the name of a large number of towns in England.

More than fifty coats of arms have been granted to the family, which indicates their rank among the English gentry. There were the Suttons of Sutton, in Holderness; the Suttons of Sutton-Madoc, in Shropshire; and the Suttons of Sutton-in-Ashfield, Nottinghamshire. These were three among the many branches of the family tree planted in England by the Norman founder."

VI. HENRY III. I have dated the death of Henry II 1242-3 but it is not certain. In that year a Henry de Brailsford held half a fee in Brailsford. (B.F. 994)., Henry f. Robert the father of Henry III presented the church of Brailsford to Darley and between July, 1241 and February, 1245, a controversy arose over the presentation to this benefice between Walter, the abbot, and Henry, lord of Brailsford. The disputant must have been, one would imagine, the son of the donor. The date of this dispute is fixed by the intervention of Hugh de Pateshull, bishop of Coventry and Lichfield from 1240-44. The matter was settled by the abbot agreeing that the right of presentation should remain to Henry and his heirs for ever. (C. Darley 137). In 1252-3 Henry acted as Escheator of Derbyshire. (R. Lit. Claus. 1251-53, 38, 213, 377). In 1254 be gave a receipt for eight marcs which he had received from prior William of Tutbury out of the 16 marcs due to him for a fine and concord made between them in the "County" of Nottingham after a duel waged, for services and customs which Henry claimed in the prior's manor of Ednaston. In August a receipt was given for the full sum. (C. Tut. ccxxi). He is said to have married Isabel, sister and heir of Ralph Picot. (H. B. 94). He witnessed various deeds between 1250-58. (J. 332, 1561, and Radbourne Ch. 15). The date of his death is uncertain. In July, 1287 a Robert de Brailsford was sued by Adeline, widow of Atropius de Osmaston. It would seem that, although outlawed, he was not guilty of the murder. (C.I.M. 1416). In 1284 Laurence de Rolleston, Robert de Brailsford and other tenants of Etwall were sued by William f. Henry de Legh for lands which Ralph Pipard had given Robert de Legh in free marriage with his sister. The Thomas de Brailsford, rector of Brailsford, living in 1281-1337 may have been a son of Henry, as well as the above mentioned Robert. (F.H.D. II. 317; C. Der. 137. d.; J. 366).

V. HENRY II. The date of his accession to his father's estates is uncertain. It certainly occurred before 1199. He confirmed his father's grant to Sempringham the witnesses being Hugh f. Nicholas (de Culland?) and Hugh the grantor's brother (Rut. MSS. 54). A Henry de Brailsford occurs in 1188 among the witnesses of a grant by Serlo de Grendon. (J. 396). In 1216 he and Robert de Vernon were with earl Ferrars in the king's service and were especially protected from any molestation by the king's writ. (R. Lit. Claus. 17 John). Early in the thirteenth century William, earl Ferrars; Reginald de Karliolo, dapifer; Henry de Brailsford; William de Grendon; Nicholas de Cavelonde and others witnessed the agreement made between B(artholornew), prior of Tutbury, and Hugh de Okeover with respect to the latter's grant of Snelston to his brother Geoffrey. (C. Tut. cccv J. 2125). Henry's association with the Grendons arose from his marriage with Isolda, one of the three daughters and co-heirs of Serlo de Grendon. (H.B. 94). It is possible that after Henry's death his widow was re-married to Elias de Jorz, for, in 1259, Elias de Jorz and Isolda, his wife, granted to Ralph Bugge 31/2 bovates in Woodthorpe. (D.F. 1259). In 1235-6 Henry de Brailsford granted certain lands to Mary, widow of Ralph de Brailsford, of whom I know nothing. (F.H.D. I. 449). Henry appears as a witness to various deeds. (J. 135, 1351, 1520) and died about 1242-3. He left four sons; Henry, his heir; (A) Engenulf; (B.) William, Roger and Serlo. He had also a daughter Hawise (C.).

(A.) Engenulf married Hawise f. Robert de Duin. (H.B. 94), and dowered her with land in Bradley, part of his mother's inheritance I presume. Hawise appears to have been thrice married, for after 1233 she was the wife of Walter de Stretton, and about 1258 was re-married to Alexander de Ramsey. After the death of Serlo f. Serlo de Grendon, Engenulf f. Henry de Brailsford confirmed to Dale the gift which William de Grendon and Serlo his brother, Engenulf's uncles, had made of land in Ockbrook. (C. Dale 15). About 1232 Engeluf de Brailsford attested a grant by William f. William le Burgulun to Thornas de Curzon. (J. 1503). He also witnessed a charter of Nicholas, prior of Tutbury, with Sir Robert de Ashbourne, seneschal of earl Ferrars, Nicholas de Caveland and Adam his brother. (F.H.D. IV, 159; J. 2718). He appears to have had a son of the same name as, before 1259, Richard f. Hervey de Stretton remitted to Engenulf all his rights in the advowson of Dronfield Church. This grant was witnessed by Matthew de Haversegg; Leodegar de Dive; Robert de Duin and others. (H.B. 93). Pegge states that Engenulf was the brother of the existing rector. An entry in the Tutbury chartulary supports this as Sir Henry f. Engelard de Brailsford remitted to the priory all his claims in the vill of Osmaston, except the patronage of the Chapel there which pertained to the mother church of Brailsford. (C. Tut. cc). Henry de Brailsford and Engyllard de Brailsford both attested the grant of Roger de Bradley to King's Mead about 1296. (J. 1520).

(B.) William. The chief authority for giving William, Serlo and Roger as sons of Henry is the statement in the History of Beauchief (94), where it is also said that Roger was rector of Dronfield. (I.P.M. VI). Alexander de Curtlinge granted to Roger f. Roger de Brailsford a messuage in Hatton. (J. 1361). In 1263 a Robert brother of Henry de Brailsford is mentioned in the Pipe Roll. (Y. 46 Hen. III).

(C.) Hawise the daughter was married to Gerard de Fanecurt who, in 1242-3, held half a fee of a knight in Wingerworth. (B.F. 995).

IV. ROBERT succeeded his brother Henry and granted to Tutbury, for the souls of his father and mother and of Henry, his brother, 40 acres in Thurvaston, 35 wainabiles and acres of meadow, etc. and all commons which were of the said vill in the time of Dolfin (sic), his grandfather, and of Nicholas his father. He also gave 2 bovates in Thurvaston free of all secular services. (C. Tut. f. 58). Robert f. Nicholas de Wingerworth, with the assent of Nicholas, his son and heir, granted to Sempringham all his share of a meadow called "Hawepolerisches" and 4 acres in "Langgehalekerin" to hold as the brethren there had held them in the time of his brother. He did this for the souls of his father and mother and the soul of Cecily, his wife. The witnesses to this grant included Robert de Alvers; Peter, nephew of Robert; Hugh f. Roger; Robert de Wingerworth; and Stephen the rector, (Rut. Mss. 54). Robert died at some date before 1199, his eldest son, Nicholas, having apparently pre-deceased him. He left Henry, his heir, and two younger sons (A) Aitrop; and (B) Hugh.

(A) Aitrop. Before 1160 a Robert, knight of Osmaston, with Ralph f. Geremund and others were on an Inquisition in Derby. (C. Dar. 56). This may possibly refer to Robert de Wingerworth, who in 1170 was known as Robert de Brailsford. Between 1191-1211 Henry de Brailsford and Eutropius de Osmundeston attested a charter of Hugh de Okeover. (S. Coll. VII N.S. 137). It is suggested that Eutrop was enfeoffed in Osmaston. In a fine enrolled on April 19, 1226, Nicholas, prior of Tutbury, granted to Odinel de Forde the manor of Osmaston in fee at a rent of 30 shillings per annum. Henry f. Ailtrop and Henry de Ryhel, as tenants, vouching to warranty. (D.F.). Henry de Ruhall dying without issue, his three sisters became his heirs. Emma married a Robert f. Robert de Ruhall; Agnes married a husband whose name remains unknown; and Margaret was unmarried. There was a place called "Ruele" in the demesne of Henry de Brailsford which paid tithe to Tutbury. (C. Tut. 152, 247, 248, 262). Between 1268-69 Haytrop de Osmaston and Richard f. Hervey de Stretton witnessed a deed under which Matthew de Kniveton held lands in Bradley. (J. 399). This Aitrop, I imagine, was a son of Henry f. Aitrop. In 1287 Adelina, widow of Atropius de Osmaston impleaded Robert de Brailsford for the death of her husband. (C.I.M. I, 1416). I have not traced the descent of this manor any further, but in 1431 John Francis of Ticknall held a free tenement here in socage of the value of £4. 13s. 4d.; John Bradshaw held a similar tenement of the value of £3; John Bothe held 3s. 4d.; and John Francis of Kirk Langley held 6s. 8d. (F.A. I, 304).

(B.) Hugh. At Michaelmas 1199 Henry de Brailsford returned account of 50 marcs as surety for his brother Hugh accused of robbery and burglary and whom he did not produce. He paid into the treasury £7 and owed 391/2 marcs. (R.Pip. I, John, 208, 209). The full amount was paid before the following Michaelmas. Adam de Edensor Robert de Sacheverell, David de Calvin, Aitrop de Brailsford, Maurice Hastings, Adam de Offerton, Robert de Chatworth, Nicholas de Cavelunt, Adam de Tuppeton and Adam de Huleton all providing certain sums. (ib. 2 John, 15). He is found attesting a charter of his brother Henry. (Rut. MSS. 54). He was apparently the rector of Dronfield and was succeeded in that benefice by Thomas his son. Henry f. Robert de Brailsford granted to Thomas the clerk, son of Hugh, the church of Dronfield. The grant was witnessed by Hugh, rector; William, clerk of Grendon; Walter de Aincurt; Ingeram de Brampton; Maurice Hastang; Nicholas de Caveland; and Aitrop his brother. (H.B. 94). The Hugh de Dronfield who attested a letter of Ivo, archdeacon of Derby, was evidently the rector. (J. 1080). Nicholas de Caveland, which I imagine represents Culland in Brailsford, was most probably a younger brother of Aitrop of whom nothing is known.

II. NICHOLAS DE BRAILSFORD was, as we have seen, a consenting party to his father's benefaction to Tutbury. Before 1148 Nicholas de Braylisford and Henry, his son, informed Roger, bishop of Chester, and Robert, earl Ferrars, that they had confirmed to Darley the service of their meadow between Derby and Markeaton, which Swanus de Winlega held of them. (C. Dar. 137d). In the Ferrar's return of 1166 it is stated that Nicholas de Brailesford had been enfeoffed by Robert I in one fee before 1139 and that Henry his son was holding it in 1166 (R.B.E. 338). The Brailsfords certainly held also the one third of a carucate in Unstone, the 2 carucates in Wingerworth and the carucate in Dronfield which appear in 1086 as soc of the king's manor of Newbold, but there is no evidence as to when they were enfeoffed. The carucate in Dronfied appears to be represented by the manor of Birchett, which carried with it the right of presentation to the Church of Newbold. Nicholas was dead before 1166 leaving three sons Henry and Robert, who both held his fees; (A) Hugh; and a daughter Isabel who is dealt with in the note on Isabel de Stretton at the end of this article.

(A) Hugh the son of Nicholas appears once as a witness to a deed of his nephew Henry (Rut. MSS. 54). The Peter, nephew of Robert, who attested the Charter of Robert f. Nicholas de Wingerworth was probably his nephew, the son of Hugh. If this be so the following descent obtained from the Beauchief Chartulary (H.B. 144) is of interest:

Alan de la Bradway (in Dronfield) =
|
| Richard = Margery f. Peter de Birchett
|
| |
| |
William John

A Peter de Bircheved attested a charter of Ralph, son and heir of Robert de Eccleshale (ib. 145) and is possibly the same person who, with Roger, abbot of Beauchief, witnessed a deed about 1268. (J. 131, cf. 2341, 2342).

Mardi, Rosie, et. al.:

I know there are several persons interested in the ancestry of Joan Brailsford. Joan married John Basset, and was the daughter of Sir Henry Brailsford. After searching through the GEN-MEDIEVAL Archives, I subscribed to the BRAILSFORD discussion group hoping to find information about the early Brailsford line. Kerrie Brailsford, the List Moderator, responded with a tentative line, and then coordinated a response from Peter Wright. Peter had access to the "Journal of the Derbyshire Archaeological and Natural History Society," and he was kind enough to share a Brailsford article from that journal with me. I thought there might be interest on the GEN-MEDIEVAL list, so I am passing it on. I hope it is not too long.

Interestingly, the article raises a question I hope someone can help me resolve. Note A in this article provides a chart for the Stretton Family. Included in the chart is a Richard Stretton, apparently living in 1272, who had a daughter named Sara. The chart and notes indicate that Sarah may have married Adam de Newbold. This creates an interesting coincidence in that C. Wickliffe Throckmorton (in "A Genealogical and Historical Account of the Throckmorton Family" on page 25) also identifies a Richard Stretton with a daughter named Sarah who may have been contemporaries of the above-cited duo. Throckmorton has his Sarah married to Hugh de Weston. Is it possible that the two Sarahs are one and the same, that she may have married twice? Or might they be closely related in some other fashion? I know that Moriarty has updated the Throckmorton line, but I do not have access to his paper. Can anyone shed light on this?

Comments are welcomed,

I. ÆLFWINE. In 1086 Elfin held of Henry de Ferrars a manor in Brailsford, with a priest, half a church and a mill, with 3 bovates soc in Hollington and Shirley. Henry de Ferrars also held of the King a manor of 11/2 carucates in Hollington, with no undertenant. Elfin also held of Henry 2 manors of a carucate each in Osmaston; and a manor of 5 bovates in Lower Thurvaston and Bupton. (V.C.H. Derb. I., 340a, 342a). The king held, as soc of his manor of Newbold, 1/3 carucate in Unstone; 2 carucates in Wingerworth; and 1 carucate in Dronfield. (ib. 329b). In 1086 Henry de Ferrars had soc and sac, thol and thaim and the king's dues of the two pennies over Ednaston Doveridge and Brailsford. As Doveridge was given to Tutbury by Berta, wife of Henry (D.M. I, 354), it would appear to have been part of her inheritance. Earl Edwin held Doveridge in the days of Edward the Confessor and if Ednaston and Brailsford were also portions of Berta's inheritance it would explain her husband's rights in those vills and possibly suggest the family from which she came. About 1139 Robert II de Ferrars confirmed to Tutbury the possession of Osmaston which Alfinus de Breleford gave them with the consent of his lord, Robert's father, and of Nicholas, the son of Alfinus. (ib. 355, 16a). In the Tutbury Chartulary an undated record of a suit in which the priory claimed two parts of the sheaves and stooks pertaining to the demesne of Sir Henry de Braylesford which Elfin de Braylesford formerly gave to Tutbury in the vill of Nether Thurvaston; and two parts of the tithe of a field called le Poughe in the same vill which Robert de S. Quintin gave to Tutbury at a date beyond the memory of man; and two parts of the tithe of sheaves and stooks of the demesne once the earl of Ferrars and later of William Meignell, knight, in the vill of Hollington; and two thirds of the tithe of "Randolferudding" and "Wallesley" in the same vill within the bounds of Longford parish; and two parts of the tithe due from a field called "Caovelandes" in Thurvaston, also in Longford (C. Tut. f. 144). Nothing has been discovered which directly affects Ælfwine, which I imagine to be the correct form of "Elfin". He probably died early in the twelfth century leaving Nicholas as his son and heir.

BARONY OF GREY OF WILTON (IV)

REYNOLD (GREY), LORD GREY (of Wilton), son and heir, born 1 November 1311. On 1 and 6 February 1342/3 he had livery of the castle and manor of Wilton, and the manors of Eaton, Waterhall, Purleigh, and Easton Grey, &c., his fealty having been taken, and his homage respited until the King's return to England. He was summoned to Councils from 20 March 1349/50 to 15 July 1353, by writs directed Reginaldo filio Henrici de Grey, and to Parliament from 24 February 1342/3 to 20 November 1360, by writs directed Reginaldo de Grey, with the addition of Seniori on and after 25 November 1350. On 25 April 1349 the King granted him £20 a year at the Exchequer, for life.

He married, before 10 January 1327/8, Maud, apparently the daughter of Richard de la Vache. He died at Shirland, 28 May or 4 June 1370, aged 58. His widow's dower was ordered to be assigned, 14 August 1370, and the manors of Toseland, Hemingby, Shirland, &c., which she and her husband had held jointly at his death, were liberated to her, 26 July and 20 October 1370, and 20 April 1371. She died at Shirland, 14 September 1391. [Complete Peerage VI:176-7, XIV:356, (transcribed by Dave Utzinger)]

Note: The above text used to indicate Maud was said to be daughter of John de Botetourte of Weoley, Worcestershire, but was changed by the corrections in volume XIV to read as it now does.

BARONY OF GREY OF WILTON (III)

HENRY (DE GREY), LORD GREY (of Wilton), son and heir, born 28 October 1281 or 1282. On 23 July 1324 the King took his homage and fealty, and he had livery of his father's lands. He was in Scotland with the King in 1322. In August he was staying in Gascony on the King's service: he accompanied the King to the North in June 1327, and was about to go beyond seas In April 1331. He was summoned for Military Service from 24 July 1322 to 27 March 1335, to Councils from 30 December 1324 to 20 November 1342, and to Parliament from 10 October 1325 to 3 March 1340/1, by writs directed Henrico de Grey. On 10 July 1337 he had licence to convey the castle and manor of Wilton, the manors of Purleigh, Easton Grey, Eaton, and Waterhall, co. Bucks, &c., to himself for life, with remainder to Reynold his son, in fee. On the same day, on account of his infirmity, he had exemption from serving the King in war, and from attendance at Parliaments or Councils.

He married (it is said) Anne, daughter and heir of Ralph DE ROCKLEY, by Isabel, daughter of William DE CLARE. He died 10 or 16 December 1342, aged 60 or 61. [Complete Peerage VI:175, (transcribed by Dave Utzinger)]

I should add that when I first posted my discovery of the 1276/7 fine, I was of the impression that John and Maud de Grey were small children when the fine was recorded. I held this view because Complete Peerage stated that John was said to be aged 40 at the time of his father's death in 1308, or born about 1268. However, it now appears that that John was actually closer to age 50 in 1308, which is indicated by John's first appearance as an adult in the records in the late 1270's, as shown by Moor's Knights of Edward I. I have also since located the Grey pedigree in Blore's History of Rutland which states that John de Grey married Maud, daughter of John de Verdun. Since Blore never saw the fine below, it would appear he relied on another source for the marriage of John and Maud de Grey.

~1242 - >1278 Eleanor de Bohun 36 36 He [John de Verdun] married, 2ndly, before 1267, Eleanor (f). He is said to have died 21 October 1274. His widow was living, 10 June 1278. [Complete Peerage XII/2:246-8, (transcribed by Dave Utzinger)]

(f) Presumably his son Humphrey, b. on the vigil of Pentecost 1267, was by the 2nd wife. Nothing is known of Eleanor's parentage but she may have been a Bohun. A seal, said to be hers, bears the Bohun and Verdun arms and the name of her son, Humphrey, may be significant.

Dear Newsgroup ~

Since making my post on Eleanor (de Bohun) de Verdun yesterday, I've checked my files and found further confirmation which I believe conclusively proves that Eleanor was the daughter of Humphrey de Bohun (died 1275), Earl of Hereford and Essex. The evidence consists of two separate cases of consanguinity among descendants of Eleanor (de Bohun) de Verdun where they intermarried with their Bohun related kinfolk.

In the first instance, my notes record that there was a papal dispensation recorded in 1334, for the marriage of Maud de Grey and John de Lisle, 2nd Lord Lisle, of Rougement. As I recall, this dispensation is mentioned by Complete Peerage sub Lisle. Maud and John were stated to be related in the 4th degree in their petition for a dispensation (i.e., third cousins to each other). Maud de Grey was great-granddaughter of Eleanor (de Bohun) de Verdun. John de Lisle was great-grandson of Alice (de Bohun) de Tony. If the degree of kinship was correctly stated in the papal registers, it would appear that Maud's ancestress, Eleanor de Bohun, and John's ancestress, Alice de Bohun, were sisters. Since Alice is known to have been a daughter of Humphrey de Bohun, Earl of Hereford and Essex (died 1275), this in turn tells us that Eleanor was daughter of the same Humphrey de Bohun.

In the second instance, my notes record there was a papal inquiry in 1334 regarding the marriage of Margaret Basset and John de Bohun, Earl of Hereford and Essex. Margaret Basset was a great-granddaughter of Eleanor (de Bohun) de Verdun. Margaret and her husband, John, were closely related, but my notes don't tell how closely related the two parties were, if the degree of kinship was stated. To resolve the question of kinship, the Pope summoned a host of relatives of the young couple. Among those summoned were several of Margaret Basset's Grey relatives as well as Alice de Tony, widow of Walter de Beauchamp, and her daughter and son-in-law, Margaret and Robert de Lisle. The people required to give testimony presumably all had a tie to the Bohun family. If nothing else, this document provides added evidence that the Greys, Tonys, Beauchamps and Lisles all share a common descent from the Bohun family.

In 1152 Renounced Claim To The Throne In Favour Of Stephen For His Life Then To Her Son.

MATILDA (1102-1167), empress, was the daughter of Henry I of England by his first marriage. She was betrothed in 1109 and married in 1114 to the German emperor Henry V. When her husband died (1125) leaving her childless, her father, whose only surviving legitimate child she then was, persuaded his reluctant barons to accept her, on oath, as his successor (Jan. 1, 1127). The novel prospect of a female ruler was itself unwelcome; Matilda's 17-year absence in Germany (where she was not unpopular) and her apparent arrogrance estranged her from her father's subjects. Difficulties also might result from her remarriage to provide for the succession. Her marriage in 1128 to Geoffrey Plantagenet, heir to Anjou and Maine (designed by Henry I, like her first marriage, for political ends), whose father, CountFulk, departed immediately after the ceremony to become the consort of Melisende of Jerusalem, flouted the barons' stipulation that she should not marry outside England without their consent, and was unpopular in Normandy and England. On Henry I's death, his nephew Stephen by prompt action secured England and was recognized by Pope Innocent II. Matilda and Geoffrey, however, made some headway in Normandy. Matilda's subsequent challenge to Stephen's position in England mainly depended on the support of her half-brother Earl Robert of Gloucester. After the defeat and capture of Stephen at Lincoln (Feb. 1141), Matilda was elected "lady of the English" and would have been queen could she have proceeded to coronation, but active support for her cause still came mainly from the western counties. Her chance of consolidating her precarious victory was swiftly destroyed by a reaction initated by her tactless handling of London. After her defeat at Winchester in Sept. 1141, her supporters, slowly reduced by death and defection, maintained a stubborn defense until Earl Robert died (1147) and Matilda retired (1148) to Normandy, of which her husband had gained possession. She continued to interest herself in the government of the territories of her eldest son, the future Henry II of England. Her career was not entirely unsuccessful: all the subsequent monarchs of England have been her descendants, not Stephen's. She died in Normandy on Sept. 10, 1167.

Bohemia was acquired through the Bohemian princess Elizabeth, who, in exchange for imperial assistance in her attempt to seize the throne of Bohemia from her brother-in-law Henry of Carinthia, offered her hand in marriage to Henry's son John of Luxembourg. Following their marriage on 30 Aug 1310, the couple set out for Bohemia, accompanied by a German-Bohemian army, which captured Prague on 19 Dec 1310, and installed John as King of Bohemia.

He failed, however, in his attempt to bind Italy firmly to the empire.

Henry succeeded his father, Henry III, as Count of Luxembourg in 1288. He was chosen German King in November 1308 at Frankfurt and was crowned at Aachen the following January, becoming the first German King of the House of Luxembourg.

    Wenceslas I, King of Bohemia from 1230 who brought Austria under his dynasty while using the influence of German colonists and craftsmen to keep Bohemia strong, prosperous and culturally progressive.

    Succeeding his father Premysl Otakar I, in 1230, Wenceslas prevented Mongol armies from attacking Bohemia (1241), but could not defend Moravia, which was subsequently ravished by the Mongols before the moved into Hungary. The King's main foreigh policy objective then became the acquisition of Austria. On the death of the last Babenberg Duke of Austria, Frederick II (1246), Wenceslas secured the hand of the Duke's niece for his son Vladislas. But Vladislas soon died, and Wenceslas lost Austria. After suppressing a Bohemian revolt in 1248-9, however, he finally forced the Austrian estates to accept his son Premysl Otakar II as their Duke in 1251. Bohemia prospered under Wenceslas' reign. Towns grew and German merchants and colonists added considerably to the wealth of the country, while German influence at the court caused a rich flowering of the arts, expecially literature and architecture.

May 26, 1076, Barcelona? [Spain]), count of Barcelona from 1035 to 1076.His father, Berenguer Ramon I (reigned 1018-35), divided and bequeathed his lands among his three sons; however, Sanç (or Sancho) in 1049 and Guillem (or William) in 1054 renounced their inheritances in their eldest brother's favour, thus reuniting the lands. Ramon Berenguer I also expanded his domain by securing control over the adjacent counties of Ampurias and Pallars. His most noted achievement was convoking the local Cortes (assembly) and having it deliberate on a choice of Roman and medieval laws for Catalonia. The result was the promulgation of the celebrated legal code known as the Usatges de Barcelona (1064-68).

Richmond, previous creations: Henry III granted the Richmond lands in 1240 to Piers, a younger son of the Count of Savoy, who accordingly became known as Earl of Richmond, though never formally invested as such. On his death the Earldom of Richmond, inasmuch as it had ever been his at all, reverted to the Crown. In 1268 Henry granted the Earldom of Richmond to Piers de Braine's son John, who forthwith made it over to his own son, another John. (These Johns, who were both known by the surname Bretagne rather than de Braine, may be regarded respectively as 2nd and 3rd Earls of Richmond of the January 1218/9 creation.) John the younger (ie. the 3rd Earl), who was temporarily deprived of his estates in England in 1296 for siding with the French, married a daughter of Henry III. He was killed by a wall falling on him in Lyons for the coronation of Pope Clement V in 1305. On his death Edward I asserted a right to the Earldom of Richmond, together with its castles and territories, but a year later conferred the title on the late Earl's second son John, who thus became 4th Earl of Richmond. Like his predecessors he too suffered temporary confiscation of his estates by the Crown, this time in 1326, though they were given back to him later that year, on 25 December approximately.

EARLDOM OF RICHMOND (VI, 2)

JOHN DE BRETAGNE, DUKE OF BRITTANY, styled "Le Roux," 1st son and heir of Piers, DUKE OF BRITTANY and sometime EARL OF RICHMOND, by his 1st wife, Alice of Brittany, was born in 1216. He was styled John de Bretagne until he became Duke of Brittany on his father's resignation, when he did homage to the King of France in Paris, on or shortly before 16 November 1237. He received the ducal insignia, viz. the sword and banner, at Rennes a few days later. He was knighted by Louis IX on 8 September 1241 at Melun. On 10 April 1240 he ordered the expulsion of the Jews from Brittany. In 1242 and 1259 he petitioned Henry III for the restitution of the Earldom of Richmond. In 1254 he surrendered his right to the succession to the Kingdom of Navarre, which had been secured to him by his marriage contract, for an annuity of 3,000 livres. In 1268 Henry III restored the Earldom of Richmond to John, who immediately surrendered it to his son. In July 1270 he went on Crusade, and took part in the siege of Tunisby Louis IX. Like his father, he was involved in constant quarrels with the Breton bishops, and was excommunicated.

He married, 16 January 1235/6, at Château-Thierry, Blanche, daughter of Theobald, KING OF NAVARRE, COUNT OF CHAMPAGNE AND BRIE, by his 2nd wife, Agnes DE BEAUJEU. She died 12, and was buried 14 August 1283, in the abbey of Nôtre Dame de la Joie, near Hennebont. John died probably 8 October 1285, and was buried in the abbey of Nôtre Dame de Prières.

EARLDOM OF RICHMOND (V, 1)

PIERS DE BRAINE, styled Mauclerc, 2nd son of Robert II, COUNT OF DREUX AND BRAINE, by his 2nd wife, Yolande, 1st daughter of Ralph DE COUCI, LORD OF COUCI, was born circa 1187-90. He was knighted by the King of France 17 May 1209. By his marriage with Alice of Brittany he became DUKE OF BRITTANY in February 1212/3. In 1213 he served in Flanders under the King of France, and helped the French to defend Touraine against King John, whom he defeated in 1214 before Nantes. On 12 August 1215 John offered him the honor of Richmond, if he would come to his aid in England; but Piers took the other side and helped Prince Louis. However, on 16 January 1218/9 Henry III ordered seisin of the lands of the Earldom of Richmond to be given to Piers, whereupon he became EARL OF RICHMOND. In 1219 he joined in the Crusade against the Albigenses. On 3 March 1222/3 he defeated Amaury de Craon at Châteaubriant. In November 1224 he was deprived for a few months of the honor of Richmond. He returned to the Crusade against the Albigenses in 1226. On 19 October 1226 Henry III undertook to marry his daughter Yolande, but the project broke down; in March 1226/7 Piers concluded the Treaty of Vendôme with Louis IX, and in April 1227 Henry ordered his lands to be seized. In October 1229 he did homage to Henry III, and he was restored to the Earldom of Richmond. In June 1230 the French barons declared his forfeiture, and on 23 September he concIuded a new treaty with Henry III. With the Earl of Chester he negotiated a 3 years' truce between the rival Kings on 4 July 1231; but after this expired he was compelled to submit to Louis, and in January 1234/5 his English lands were confiscated. He was included in the 5 years' Anglo-French truce of 3 February 1235/6. In November 1237 he surrendered the Duchy to his son, after which he styled himself Piers de Braine. In 1239 he led a Crusade to Palestine, and in 1249 he went on Crusade with St. Louis. He was wounded in the face at the battle of Mansourah, and surrendered with the King at Faraskur, 6 April 1250. On being released he sailed from Damietta, 7 May 1250, but died at sea. During his rule in Brittany he was constantly engaged in quarrels with the bishops, and more than once he was excommunicated. He was a bencfactor to many monastic foundations and, to the Templars in Brittany.

He married, 1stly, in February 1212/3, Alice, elder daughter and coheir of Guy DE THOUARS, sometime DUKE OF BRITTANY, by Constance, DUCHESS OF BRITTANY. She died 21 October 1221, and was buried in the convent of the Cordeliers at Nantes. He married, 2ndly, about January 1234/5, Margaret, LADY OF MONTAIGU and LA GARNACHE, widow of Hugh DE THOUARS, VICOMTE OF THOUARS, next brother of Guy abovenamed, who died s.p., 1230 (before May), and daughter and heir of Maurice DE MONTAIGU, LORD OF MONTAIGU, by Chaboce (parentage unknown). She died about the end of 1241. Charter, as an act of last will, dated 27 November 1241. Piers married, 3rdly, Joan, LADY OF CRIEL, younger daughter of Ralph D'EXOUDUN, COUNT OF EU, by Alice, COUNTESS OF EU, daughter and heir of Henry, COUNT 0F EU. Piers died probably circa 28 May 1250, at sea, and was buried in the abbey of St. Yved-de-Braine, near Laon. Will made circa August 1248. His widow died 3 October 1252, in the Hospital of Brackley, Northants, and was buried in the abbey of Foucarmont. [Complete Peerage X:800-5, (transcribed by Dave Utzinger)]

Richmond, previous creations: Geoffrey and Constance's son Arthur, better known as the Prince who was probably done away with by King John, succeeded to the Earldom of Richmond and Dukedom of Brittany. Arthur had a sister Eleanor, who long outlived him, but the next holder of the Earldom of Richmond to be recognized as such was the husband of his niece of the half-blood, Piers de Braine. The latter had married Alice, daughter of Constance by her third husband Guy de Thouars, and had seisin of the Richmond property from January 1218/9, thus becoming its fully fledged Earl, the 1st such of this creation.

[Complete Peerage X:788-91, (transcribed by Dave Utzinger)] 1201 - 1253 Theobald 52 52 Count of Troyes

Theobald I, also called THEOBALD I THE TROUBADOR, or THE POSTHUMOUS, French THIBAULD LE CHANSONNIER, or LE POSTHUME, Spanish TEOBALDO EL TROVADOR, or EL POSTUMO (b. May 30?, 1201, Troyes France - d. July 7? 1253, Pamplona, Navarre (now in Spain), count of Troyes and of Champagne (from 1201), as Theobald IV, and king of Navarre (from 1234), the most famous of the aritocratic trouveres.

He was the son of Theobald III of Champagne, who died before his son was born, and Blanche of Navarre. He lived for four years at the court of King Philip II of France, to whom he did feudal homage in 1214. After Philip's death (1223), he supported Philip's son Louis VIII but deserted him in 1226 at the siege of Avignon, conducted by the king as part of his campaign against the Albigenses, a religious sect deemed heretical. On the death of Louis a few months later, Theobald joined a dissident league of barons who opposed Louis's widow and regent of France, Blanche of Castile. He soon abandoned the legaue and became reconciled with Blanche. It was rumoured that he was her lover and had poisoned her husband, and many of his poems are thought to be addressed to her. He led the crusade of 1239-40 and, after his return, spent the rest of his life in Champagne and Navarre.

Theobald left about 60 lyrics, mainly love songs and debates in verse, with two pastourelles (love songs between knight and shepherdess) and nine religious poems. Perhaps he found his true level in the Jeu-parit (courtly love debate) in which he discusses with a crony from the crusades whether it is better to embrace one's love in the dark or to see her without embracing her, with wry allusions to the crony's crutch and his own potbelly. Theobald's lyrics, with their music, have survived in six manuscripts. [Encylcopaedia Britannica]

ES XI:156 indicates Humbert's 1st wife, Wandelmode, d. occ (after) 1079, was the mother of Guichard. She was dau of Guillaume III, Vcte de Thiern (Thiers). My notes do not indicate what primary source ES cited if any. My research log shows another source does list Avile/Auxilla de Savoie (Savoy) - you have her as Alice - as Guichard's mother, but unfortunately I did not write down the source name because at the time I believed that ES was the final authority.

(b) The family appears to have taken its name from Luce, a commune in the department of Orne, about 6 kil. SE of Domfront, and in the bailiwick of Passeis. In the return of the Norman fees of 1172 there occurs the following: "De Passeis . . . Ricards de Lucceio j militem et sibi xvij milites" (H.F., vol xxiii, p. 697 e; so also in Red Book, Rolls Ser., vol ii, pl 639, but beginning "De Baillia de Basseis"). Luce lies geographically in Maine, and its real connection with Normandy dates from the occupation in 1092 of Domfront, the castle of Robert de Belleme, by Henry Beauclerc, the Count of the Cotentin. It seems probable that this particular connection between Henry I and the southern border of Normandy may have first brought the family to the King's notice, a view which is supported by the fact that in a charter for Seez Cathedral dated Feb 1131, Henry mentions a fief which he had bought from Richard de Lucy, and his mother Aveline. [Complete Peerage VIII:257 note (b)]

Justiciar of England

The first mention of this family is in a render made by King Henry I of the lordship of Dice, in Norfolk (whether in requital of services, or as an inheritance, the record saith not) to Richard de Lucie, who was governor of Falais, in Normandy, temp. King Stephen, and defended that place with great valour when besieged by Geoffrey, Earl of Anjou, for which heroic conduct he had a grant of lands in the county of Essex with the services of divers persons, to hold by ten knights' fees. In the subsequent contest between Stephen and the Empress Maud, he remained steady in his allegiance to the former and obtained a victory of some importance near Wallingford Castle. Upon the adjustment of the dispute, the Tower of London and the castle of Winchester were, by the advice of the whole clergy, placed in the hands of this feudal lord, he binding himself by solemn oath and the hostage of his son to deliver them up on the death of King Stephen to King Henry, which, being eventually fulfilled, Richard de Lucy was constituted sheriff of Essex and Hertfordshire in the 2nd of Henry II, A.D. 1156, and in three years afterwards, being with the king in Normandy, he was despatched to England to procure the election of Thomas à Becket, then lord chancellor, to the archiepiscopal see of Canterbury, vacant by the death of Theobald, Abbot of Becco. Soon after that he was appointed to the high office of Justice of England. In the 12th of this reign [1166], upon the aid then assessed for marrying the king's dau., he certified his knights' fees (lying in the cos. of Kent, Suffolk, and Norfolk) de veteri feoffamento, to be in number seven, and that his ancestors performed the service of Castle Guard at Dover, for the same, as also that he held on knight's fee more, de nova feoffamento, in the co. Devon.

About this time Becket, having fled into Normandy from the power of King Henry, came to Wiceliac to celebrate the feast of the ascension, and observing several persons of distinction present, amongst whom was this Richard de Lucie, he ascended the pulpit and there, with lighted candles, pronounced the sentence of excommunication against them all as public incendiaries betwixt the king and himself, but being neither convicted nor called to answer, they appealed and entered the church. Soon after this (13th Henry II) during a temporary absence of the king beyond sea, de Lucie was constituted Lieutenant of England, and again in 1173, when the Earl of Leicester and others having reared the standard of rebellion in behalf of Prince Henry, he besieged, in conjunction with Reginald, Earl of Cornwall, the town of Leicester and, having reduced it, demolished its walls and laid it in ashes.
In 1178, he founded the priory of Westwode in the diocese of Rochester in honour of St. Thomas, of Canterbury, the martyr, and began, about the same time, the foundation of the priory of Lesnes, in Kent, which he munificently endowed. In this priory he subsequently assumed the habit of a canon regular and departing this life soon after (about 22nd Henry II) [1176], and was buried in the chapter-house there.

He m. Rohais ---, and had issue, Geffrey, who d. in his father's lifetime, leaving Richard, his son and heir, who departing this life, s. p., before 1196, the inheritance devolved upon his aunt, Rohais; Hubert, who had the lordship of Stanford, in Essex, and hundred of Angre, for his livelihood, but d. s. p.; Maude, m. 1st to Walter Fitz-Robert, to whom she brought the lordship or Dice, and 2ndly, to Richard de Ripariis, and d. 27th Henry III, 1243, leaving issue; Rohais, m. 1st, to Fulbert de Dover, Lord of Chilham, in Kent, and 2ndly, Richard de Chilham. This Rohais, upon the decease of her nephew, succeeded to the estates of her elder brother and, upon the death of her younger brother, Hubert, she had livery of the whole barony on paying a fine to the crown in the 9th King John [1208].

Subject: Re: Sir Leonard Hastings Family Chronology
Newsgroups: soc.genealogy.medieval
Date: 2001-10-25 21:20:44 PST

Ralph Hastings b.c 1335 (30 years and more in 38 Edw III) was son of Ralph Hastings d.1346 and Margaret de Herle. Margaret brought a moiety of the barony of Bolebec to the Hastings family on the death of her brother Robert de Herle (IPM 38 Edw III). She was the sister and heir in her issue of Sir Robert de Herle (d.1364), of Drakenage and Burton Hastings, Warks. Both were children of Sir William de Herle (d.1347), of Caldecote, Warks. Ralph Hastings was retainer of Henry Duke of Lancaster at the wages of forty marks per annum, to be paid out of the manor of Pickering. In 1372 he was joined in commission with Thomas Hatfield, Bishop of Durham, Gilbert de Umfraville, Earl of Angus on the affairs of the Scottish borders. In 1376 he was employed with the Earl of Warwick on a similar service. In 1377 and again in 1380 he was Sheriff of Yorkshire and governor of York Castle. He married first Isabel de Sadyngton and presumably had a daughter Margaret d. 1406 who carried Isabel's inheritance of Nosely, Leics into the Heron family. Margaret was unmarried when he made his will which is a bit odd considering she would be at least two years older than Richard Hastings her half brother then aged about 15 (unless Ralph had two daughters named Margaret). He married secondly Matilda da. and coheir of Sir Thomas Sutton of Sutton in Holderness [Surtees Soc. Pubn, v 4].

His will was made at Slingsby on 21 Sept 1397. He mentions his dead father Ralph, dead mother Margaret, dead wife Isabella de Sadyngton and her father Robert de Sadyngton. He mentions as living, Matilda his wife, his 'filio meo seniori' (but not by name), and son Bartholomew. Unfortunately there is no mention of Leonard. Probate was 25 Feb 1397.[Surtees Soc Pubn, v.4 p.]

The castle and manor of Slingsby are worth 16 L annually, payable by equal parts at Martinmas and Whitsun, Coulton 40 s and Howthorpe 8L payable at the same terms.

E149/76, no.5

In the of IPM of Constance wife of Peter de Mauley the sixth (writ 21 June 1401) is this the following passage.
"She held in dower, of the king in chief by knight service by the assignment of Thomas de Percy, earl of Worcester, guardian of the lands and heir of Peter de Mauley, son of Peter son of Peter VI, her husband." " Bransholme, the castle and manor, Sutton on Hull, the manor and the six advowsons of the chantries of 6 chaplains celebrating in the the chapel of Sutton in Holderness, by virtue of a grant by Richard Ravenser, Robert Lorimer and Thomas de Beverley to Thomas de Sutton, kt, and Agnes his wife, and the heirs male of their bodies, with remainder in tail male to Peter de Mauley and Constance his wife, and Peter de Mauley his son and Margery his wife, with reversion to the right heirs of Thomas de Sutton. Thomas and Agnes died without heirs male of their bodies. Peter and Margery had issue Peter to whom the manor and advowsons should descend." Constance was not mother of Piers VI' son and heir, Piers VII. She married secondly sir John Godard.

According to CP VIII ; pp567-569, Constance was da. and coheir of Sir Thomas Sutton and her younger sisters were Agnes and Margery. Margery was married to Piers de Mauley VII c. 1371 (and so her eldest sister was also confusingly her step mother in law). It appears that Margary married secondly William de Aldburgh and they both died in 1391. This poses something of a problem as to who the Maud de Sutton who married Ralph de Hastings was, if we are to believe she was of Sutton in Holderness.

The pedigree of Sutton of Holderness in the Visitations of the North, (Surtees v. 133) taken from a register in the Abbey of Meux contradicts the above saying that the three daughters of 'Seyrus Lord Sutton' were Maud married to Sir William Percy, Marie married to Sir John Melton and Custance married to Sir Peter Demalolac (Piers de Mauley).

CP VIII : p570 states that in the IPM of Piers de Mauley VIII (Ch Inq p. m. 3 Hen V no 54) who died 1415 without issue, the Sutton estate reverted to Agnes, da and coh. of Sir Thomas Sutton, wife of Sir Edmund Hastings; Sir John Godard son of Constance Sutton, Constance wife of Sir John Bigod; and Elizabeth wife of George Salvain. The latter two ladies were daughters of Margery Sutton.

Tim's source stated that Maud was da. of Sir Robert de Sutton of Holderness but whether Maud was a Holderness Sutton is questionable. She doesn't seem to have been an heiress. With the mention of Sir Edmund Hastings, I wonder if this is a case of mistaken identity here and she is in fact a Dudley Sutton. Leonard and Bartholomew are very distinctive names and not used previously in the Dudley Sutton nor Hastings family that I'm aware.

I'm afraid that my resources are exhausted and cannot take the quest further.

~1355 - >1407 Maud de Grey 52 52 Most sources have Maud as a Sutton, daughter of either Robert or Thomas. However Rosie Bevan, in a series of posts to SGM, which included the excerpt from a post on 1 Oct 2003:

Subject: The identity of Maud, wife of Sir Ralph Hastings
Newsgroups: soc.genealogy.medieval
Date: 2003-10-01 20:51:51 PST

. . . From Ralph the younger's IPM, it looks like he was the second son and had the Sutton-in-Holderness lands, a third of which was held as dower by his mother Maud, who was still alive in 1407. Richard Hastings received Ralph's forfeited estate, and when he died without issue in 1437, all the properties passed to Leonard Hastings their younger brother whose IPM records their combined holdings.

Richard was knighted by 1401, and married secondly in 1427, Elizabeth, daughter of Henry, Lord Beaumont, and widow of William, Lord D'Eincourt. Of significance, CP IV 126 records that a dispensation was required for this marriage because William Deincourt and Richard Hastings were related in the 2nd and 3rd degree of consanguinity. It is my belief that this relationship was through Richard's mother, Maud, and the Greys of Rotherfield.

As can be seen from Ralph Hasting's IPM posted yesterday, Sutton in Holderness was held of the manor of Beverley of the archbishopric of York. Walter de Grey was archbishop when he died in 1255 and was well known for his nepotic distribution of archbishopric lands to his family. The Greys of Rotherfield, were descendants of Walter de Grey, nephew and namesake of the Archbishop.

The following PRO abstract provides proof of the Grey family's interest in Sutton-in-Holderness.

E 210/416
Grant by Robert de Gray of Retherfeld, to John de Nevill, knight, lord of Raby, of the reversion of the manor of Sculcotes and of ten messuages, with land and rent, in Bisshopburton and Sutton in Holdernesse, and of the reversion of the advowson of the church of Sculcotes : [ York. Kyngeston-on-Hull, 6 January, 49 [ Edward ] III.

As noted in Sir Ralph's will, one of the sons of Sir Ralph and Maud Hastings was named Bartholomew, and there is an instance of this name appearing in the Grey family from about 1350 to 1375. Bartholomew de Grey of Rotherfield d. 1375, was second son and heir of Sir John Grey d.1375, and Maud de Burghersh, daughter of Bartholomew de Burghersh the elder [CP VI 147]. They had three sons - Bartholomew, Robert and Richard, who are documented in Robert de Grey's 1388 IPM [CIPM xvi no.582]. Richard de Grey was the heir male of his elder brother, Robert, and it would seem likely Richard Hastings was named for him as chronologically Maud, wife of Ralph Hastings seems to be a full sister.

The following illustrates the second and third degree consanguinity

1.John de Grey of Rotherfield=Maud Burghersh
. 2. Robert Grey
. . 3. Joan de Grey
. . . 4. William Deincourt
. 2. Maud de Grey
. . 3. Richard Hastings

I would be interested in what people think.

HOWEVER, if you see the research done by Ronny Bodine (see notes for Elizabeth Champernoun, wife of William Polglase/Polglas), then you will see that this is IMPOSSIBLE. Margaret, daughter of a 1353 marriage & granddaughter of William Champernoun b. circa 1314, would not have been born by the time that William died (1347); plus Margaret married John Herle. ~1278 Katherine de Beauchamp According to Richard Borthwick's source William de Herle, the Chief Justice (who most sources say was father of Margaret), was married to Katherine, daughter of Humphrey Beauchamp. Richard Borthwick's source has Margaret as granddaughter by a son William de Herle and his wife, a daughter of Sir Philip Courtenay (which Richard Borthwick considers improbable). The pedigree seems to be somewhat screwed up, but I am using the wife given by his source. The dates would tend to make Margaret a daughter and not a granddaughter. ~1244 - >1320 Robert Herle 76 76 BEF Mar 1252/1253 - 1317 Humphrey de Beauchamp ~1256 - >1306 Sybil Oliver 50 50 ~1230 Walter Oliver ~1181 - 7 Sep 1241/1271 Peter de Brus ~1200 Jordan Oliver <1319 - 1375 John de Grey 56 56 2nd Baron of Grey

He was in the Crécy campaign in the 1st (Prince of Wales') Division. The King took his homage and he had livery (co. Northampton) of his inheritance, saving to Avice, late wife of Sir John de Grey, reasonable dower. He was summoned to Parliament from 20 November 1360 to 4 October 1373, by writs directed Johanni de Grey or Johanni Grey de Rotherfeld. He married (j) Maud, possibly daughter of Sir Bartholomew DE BURGHERSH, the elder, LORD BURGHERSH (k). He died 4 June 1375. Will dated on Sunday next after the feast of the Ascension 1375 was proved in the Chapel of the Bishop of Lincoln's manor of Woburn 16 June 1375, and administration granted to Brian de Grey and Robert de Grey, the testator's natural sons, power being reserved to the other executors. He desired burial in the monastery of St. James next Northampton, and left all his goods to Maud his wife and to his sons "ut ipsi ordinent et disponant ut melius viderint pro anima mea." His widow, who had as dower a moiety of the manor of Somerton and of the advowson of the church there and the manor of Duston, died 23 January 1386/7. [Complete Peerage VI:147-8, (transcribed by Dave Utzinger)]

(f) Aged 40 and more or 30 and more according to the various inquistions taken at his father's death.

(j) There may have been a 1st wife, mother of the eldest son, John de Grey. Maud was certainly mother of Bartholomew, Robert and Richard de Grey.

(k) Sir Bartholomew de Burghersh petitioned (Papal Reg., Kal Aug 1366) on behalf of Sir John de Grey of Rotherfield and Maud his wife and others for plenary remission at the hour of death. The unusual name in the Grey family of Bartholomew bestowed on the second son seems to strengthen the suggestion. Maud de Grey was probably sister of the petitioner.

BARONY OF GREY OF ROTHERFIELD (I)

SIR JOHN DE GREY, son and heir, was born at Rotherfield, 9 October, and baptized 1 November 1300 in the church there. During minority his lands were granted to various persons by the Crown, and an inspection of Hardwick and Rotherfield was ordered, 28 September 1317, to safeguard the interests of the heir. He was summoned for Military Service from 25 March 1322 to 4 December 1341; to Councils 14 September 1340, 12 June 1341, 25 February 1341/2, and 20 November 1342; and to Parliment from 15 November 1338 to 1 December 1357, by writs directed Johanni de Grey de Rotherfeld, whereby he is held to have become LORD GREY of Rotherfield. He had letters of protection, 18 July 1322, on going with the King to Scotland, and on 5 September 1325 on going with the King beyond seas. On 1 September 1330 he had a grant of free warren in his demense lands in Bucks, Berks, and cos. Oxford, Northampton and York. On 16 March 1331/2 Sir Geoffrey le Scropc, who made the King's speech, declared that Mons. John de Grey of Rotherfield and Mons. William de la Zouche of Ashby, then at variance, were commanded to do no violence, but nevertheless hot words passed between them in the presence of the King and his Council, and Grey put his hand to his knife and partly drew it. Both had been sent to prison, and Zouche had been released on bail till this parliament. Grey had been given into the custody of William de Clinton, and was present in that custody. The King asked advice of the Lords in respect of such an excess in his presence, and the Lords returned that they thought Zouche not guilty, and that Grey should be imprisoned during the King's pleasure, but begged the King's mercy for him. He appears to have been pardoned not long after. On 19 August 1337 he had licence to alienate in mortmain to the Friars Minors of Oxford a plot of land. On 20 January 1341/2 he was urgently summoned to London to treat with the Council for what he and his men should receive for their stay at Berwick-on-Tweed, the King desiring that he should have custody of that town. He was in the Crécy expedition in 1346 in the 2nd Division. On 10 December 1346 he had licence to crenellate his dwelling-places of Rotherfield and Sculcoates. He was made K.G. at the institution of that order,and was Steward of the Household, certainly from 1350 to 1356. On 20 May 1354. he had a grant of free warren in his demesne lands of Cornwell and Kingham (Oxford).

He married, 1stly, before 1 March 1311/2, Catherine, younger daughter and coheir of Sir Brian (FITZALAN), LORD FITZALAN, by his 2nd wife, Maud. He married 2ndly, Avice, daughter of John (MARMION), LORD MARMION, and sister and coheir of Robert, LORD MARMION. He died at Rotherfield, 1 September 1359. His widow, as one of his executors, had a protection, 25 September 1359, in consideration of his good services as Steward of the Household. Mention is made, 28 February 1362/3, of the service in West Tanfield Church according to the ordinance of Avice, late the wife of John de Grey of Rotherfi6ld. She was living 20 March 1378/9, having as dower the manors of Cogges and Hardwick and a moiety of the manor and advowson of Fringford (Oxford).

John got a license to crenellate his manor in Rotherfield in 1347.

John de Grey, 2nd Baron Grey of Rotherfield, one of the founders of the Order of the Garter, b. 1300, who in the 15th Edward II, making proof his age, had livery of his lands; and in the 1st Edward III, was in the wars of Scotland. In the 6th of the same reign, upon some differences between his lordship and William le Zouch, of Haryngworth, another great baron, which was heard before the king, Lord Grey, under the irritation of the moment, drew his knife upon Lord Zouch in the royal presence, whereupon both lords were committed to prison; but the Lord Zouch was soon afterwards released, while Lord Grey was remanded and his lands seized upon by the crown. He was, however, within a short time, upon making submission, restored to favour; and in three years afterwards we find his lordship in Scotland upon the king's service, being of the retinue with Henry, Earl of Lancaster. From this period for several years, he was engaged in the French wars, and in the 20th of Edward's reign, he obtained license to fortify his houses at Rotherfield Grey, co. Oxford, and Sculcotes, co. York, with embattled walls of lime and stone. The next year there being a tournament held at Eltham, in Kent, amongst other accoutrements prepared for that military exercise, his lordship had a hood of white cloth embroidered with dancing men in blue habits, buttoned before with large pearls presented to him by the king. In the 26th Edward III, he was one of the commissioners in the cos. Oxford and Berks for arraying and arming all men of ability within those shires and leading them against the king's enemies, invasion at that time threatened by the French. In the next year he was steward of the king's household and had summons to parliament from the 1st to the 29th Edward III, inclusive. His lordship m. 1st, Katherine, dau. and co-heiress of Bryan Fitz-Alan, of Bedall, co. York, and had issue, John, his successor, and Maud, m. 1st to John de Botetourt, of Weoley, and 2ndly, to Thomas de Harcourt. He m. 2ndly, Avice, dau. and co-heir of John, Lord Marmion, and had two sons, John and Robert, who both assumed their mother's name of Marmion.

[Burke's Peerage]

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

Seigneur of Negreville in Normandy, France, and, in 1168, founder of Longues Abbey. Hugh was with King Stephen at Stamford in 1142, and was with the Earl of Chester at Devizes and Roger Wake in 1153 when he witnessed the charter for the Earl of Henry, Duke of Normandy.

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

From Northamptonshire Families, p. 315:
"In 1166 he made the return for the barony of Bourne, and at this time he was also holding single knights' fees under Humphrey de Bohun, the Earl of Gloucester and Earl Simon of Northampton and probably held of Robert of Stafford and of the Earl of Chester as well. In Normandy his lands lay at Negreville and St. Hilaire de Petitville in the Contentin peninsula...and at Longues in the Bessin, whilst to these must be added his inheritance in Guernsey. This rich baron founded in 1168 a Benedictine abbey at Longues near Bayeux, which he endowed from his Norman lands, one Roger Wac being witness to his foundation charter."

[Burke's Peerage]

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

Geoffrey Wac, a Norman, held land in Guernsey (island off of Normandy, France) and Cotentin in Normandy. He built a mill in the latter. Nothing is known of his wife or wives. Geoffrey's death year may have been as early as 1142 in view of the fact that his son, Hugh, was at Stephen's Court that year. Geoffrey was a witness to a Bayeux charter earl in the reign of Stephen.

SIR BRIAN FITZ ALAN, of Bedale in Richmondshire, Askham Brian in the Ainsty, Bainton, Heworth, &c., co. York, Bicker and Graby, co. Lincoln, son and heir of Sir Alan Fitz BRIAN, of Bedale, &c. (who was slain shortly before 17 May 1267) (d), by Agnes, said to have been daughter of Sir Randolf FITZ HENRY, of Ravensworth in Richmondshire. He was on the King's service in Wales in 1277 and 1287. On 1 May 1285, being about to go beyond seas on pilgrimage, he had letters of protection for two years. He was appointed a Guardian of Scotland, 13 June 1291. He was Constable of the castles of Roxburgh and Jedburgh from 4 August 1291 to 18 November 1292, and of those of Dundee and Forfar until the same day. On 20 September 1291 he had licence to crenellate his house at Killerby. He was present at the assemblies held at Berwick in October and November 1292, to discuss the various claims to the Crown of Scotland, and, as a Guardian of Scotland, was one of those commanded, 18 [not 19] November 1292, to give seizin of that kingdom to John de Balliol. On 12 July 1297 he was appointed a Captain for the defence of Northumberland, and, on 18 October following, a Keeper of the march of Scotland in that county. He was constituted Keeper of Scotland at a salary of 2,000 marks a year, 18 August 1297. He was at the battle of Falkirk, 22 July 1298, and at the siege of Carlaverock in July 1300. He was summoned for Military Service from 6 April 1282 to 7 November 1302, to a Military Council, 14 June 1287 to attend the King at Salisbury, 26 January 1296/7, and to Parliament from 24 June 1295 to 22 January 1304/5, by writs directed Briano filio Alani, whereby he is held to have become LORD FITZALAN. As Brianus filius Alani dominus de Bedale he took part in the Barons' Letter to the Pope, 12 February 1300/1.

He m. 1stly, Muriel: she died before 8 November 1290. He married, 2ndly, before 2 July 1297, Maud. He died 1 June 1306, and was buried in Bedale Church. His widow was living 10 April 1340. She was buried in the Church of the Black Friars at York.

His coheirs were his two daughters. (1) Agnes, aged 8 in 1306. Her marriage was granted, 10 May 1306, to Sir Miles de Stapelton, of Carlton, co. York, and she married, before 15 December 1317, Gilbert de Stapelton, a younger son of the said Miles: he died before 23 June 1324: she married, 2ndly, Sir Thomas de Sheffeld, of Sheffield, Wadsley, Owlerton, &c., co. York: they both died before 3 November 1348. (2) Katherine, aged 6 in 1306. She married before 27 December 1317, as 1st wife, Sir John de Grey, of Rotherfield Oxon, Sculcoates, co. York, and Duston, Northants [Lord Grey of Rotherfield]: she died before 7 August 1328, and was buried in the Church of the Black Friars at York: he, who was born at Rotherfield 29 October and baptized there 1 November 1300, died there 1 September 1359, aged 58. The ages of the two coheirs having been proved, the escheator was ordered to liberate their purparties of their father's lands, 15 and 27 December 1317, respectively. Among their representatives any hereditary Barony, that may be supposed to have been created by the writ of 1295, is in abeyance. [Complete Peerage V:639-44, (transcribed by Dave Utzinger)]

(d) Pardon to Payn le Keu of Brandesburton for the death of Alan de Bedale, as it appears by inquistion made by Richard de Middleton that Payn killed Alan in self-defence: 17 May (Patent Roll, 51 Henry III, no. 18). York: Agnes late the wife of Alan fitz Brian gave half a mark for an assize taken before Richard de Middleton. Alan was son and heir of Brian fitz Alan (living 17 July 1242), who married Alice, daughter of Gilbert Hansard, of Evenwood and Hurworth-on-Tees, co. Durham. Brian was son and heir of Alan fitz Brian (who died before Michaelmas 1189), by (--), Lady of Bainton, one of the four sisters and coheirs of Geoffrey Haget, and daughter of Bertram Haget, both of Wighill, Bainton, and Healaugh, co. York. Alan was son and heir of Brian fitz Alan, 'brother of Conan, Duke of Brittany and Earl of Richmond.'

Note: The last part of note (d) above enclosed in ' (single quote marks) is supposed to be replaced by 'living 1242. See also C.T. Clay, "Origins of the FitzAlans of Bedale", Yorks. Arch. Soc. J., vol xxx, 1931, pp. 281-90; "Early Yorks. Families", Yorks. Arch. Soc. Rec. Set, vol 135, 1973, p. 27.' according to updates by CP XIV:324. The trouble that I have (along with others--see e-mail below) is that the "living 1242" doesn't seem to make sense. I am sticking with the original until this is clarified.

-------------------------------------------------
The following e-mail was received from Chris Phillips, medievalgenealogy.org.uk, in response to my query about the "correction of CP, Vol 14, p. 324":

Dear Jim

Sorry - it sounds as though I was misunderstanding your original message on this. I don't actually own a copy of vol.14, but from what you say, vol.14 actually makes the Brian in generation [1] survive till 1242, as well as the Brian in generation [3]?

That does sound like a blunder. It looks as though "1242" probably comes from the Close Roll, 26 Henry III reference given earlier for generation [3], but it can hardly refer to both grandfather and grandson.

I have just been looking at the archives, and I see there was some discussion of this in June 1999, when Dave Utzinger suggested it might be a misprint for "1142", and Cris Nash thought it was through confusion with Brian the grandson.

So I'll note that down as a probable error in volume 14.

I've copied Cris Nash's 1999 message below, just in case there's anything useful for you in it.

Thanks again

Chris

Richard -- Not having XIV in front of me, a bit confused about this, since
CP had accepted this old argument of the first of the Clays for over half a
century (see X, 781n, which as I recall is pubd 1945). Perhaps the
confirmation of the earlier C.T.Clay argument [Early Yorkshire Charters, V,
pt 2, 196-227 (espec.the alternative genealogy, 200-205) & Yorks Arch
Journ. vol. 30 (1930-1), 281-90] in a 1973 publication by Sir Charles Clay
[Early Yorks Families (York Arch Soc Series, vol. 135 [1973]), 27]
convinced the ed. of CP XIV that the thing ought to be underlined. About
the 1242 date gaffe - a puzzle. But Brian FitzAlan the grandson of Brian
son of Scolland (and not s. of Alan, Count of Brittany) - is commonly given
as having d. 1242 - perhaps the apparent slip is owing to an inadvertent
omission of 2 generations in a line or two. Seen worse, no? (At least
this one had the advantage of being obvious.)

Many thanks and appreciation for the trouble you have gone to to give us the synopsis of the Blakely article.

In a nutshell, primary evidence from charters firmly places Juetta as mother of Peter de Brus and Isabel de Brus. Juetta also had a daughter by Roger de Flamville called Agnes, who married William de Percy, Lord of Kildale, Yorks. d. bef 1203, who was a tenant of the Brus family in Ormesby. Agnes married secondly John Birkin and made a grant to Gisborough Priory "for the good of the soul of both my husbands". Agnes' son, Walter de Percy, as heir to his uncle Hugh de Flamville, still living in 1210 [Pipe Roll 11 John, p. 123], who died without issue, confirmed a gift his mother had made to Basedale Priory and a gift his uncle Hugh de Flamville made to Rievaulx Abbey.[VCH Yorkshire North Riding, v.2, p.250]. Walter de Percy was heir to his uncle of a moiety of Flamville, Friton and Holthorpe which indicates that Roger and Juetta probably had another daughter. However, regarding the Arches inheritance, Juetta's son Peter de Brus, was her male heir after the death of Hugh de Flamville. Peter's son, Peter de Brus II was recorded as holding the 7 fees in 1224-30. [Clay, 'Early Yorkshire Families' p.2]

BARONY OF VERDUN (II)

THEODALD (DE VERDUN), 2nd but 1st surviving son and heir, was born 8 September 1278. On the death of his brother John he was ordered by the King, 14 July 1297, to serve overseas in his place; and he was frequently summoned against the Scots till 1316; knighted by the King in Northumberland, 24 June 1298, and fought in the 2nd line at the battle of Falkirk, 22 July following. He was summoned v.p. to Parliament from 29 December 1299 to 16 October 1315, by writs directed (till his father's death) Theobaldo de Verdun junior, whereby he also is held to have become LORD VERDUN. He had seisin of his lands, 28 September 1309; and was Justiciar of Ireland, 30 April 1313-January 1314/5.

Will, desiring burial in the Convent of the Minoresses without Aldgate, London, dated at Clare, 25 September 1355, proved 3 December 1360.

On Theobald's death the two Baronies of Verdun, supposed to have been created by the writs of 1295 (or 1290 and 1299, fell into abeyance, according to modern doctrine, among his 3 daughters and co-heirs, by his 1st wife, Joan, Elizabeth and Margery, and his posthumous daughter and coheir, by his 2nd wife, Isabel.

BARONY OF VERDUN (I)

THEOBALD DE VERDUN, 3rd but 1st surviving son and heir, by 1st wife, was born circa 1248; had livery of his father's and mother's lands, 7 November and 7 December 1274; and was constantly in Ireland for the next 25 years. He was one of those magnates who, having large Irish interests, granted to the King in Parliament, 19 May 1275, the export duties on wool and hides in their ports in Ireland; served in Wales, 1277, 1282 and 1283; styled himself Constable of Ireland, circa 1282-84; and was summoned, 28 June, to attend the Assembly to be held at Shrewsbury, 30 September 1283. On 29 May 1290 he was one of the magnates and proceres, assembled in full Parliament, who granted an aid for the marriage of the King's daughter; and he was summoned to Parliament from 24 June 1295 to 11 June 1309, by writs directed Theobaldo de Verdun, whereby he is held to have become LORD VERDUN. He was summoned for service against the Scots, 1291-1309, excepted from that in Gascony, 1294, and summoned for service overseas, 1297; was with the King at Norham, June 1291, when he settled the claims to the Scottish Crown; but being involved in the quarrel between the Earls of Hereford and Gloucester, he was accused of divers transgressions and sentenced, Michaelmas 1291, to imprisonment and the confiscation of Ewyas Lacy. He was, however, released on payment of 500 marks and Ewyas Lacy was restored to him, 8 June 1292. His seal was appended to the Barons' letter to the Pope, 12 February 1300/1, as Dominus de Webbele.

He married, before 6 November 1276, Margery (c). He died 24 August 1309 at Alton, aged about 61, and was buried 13 October in Croxden Abbey, in that co. [Complete Peeerage XII/2:249-50, (transcribed by Dave Utzinger)]

Dear Newsgroup ~

Today I had the opportunity to further research the matter of Theobald de Verdun's wife, Margery.

VCH Gloucester 11 (1976): 12 indicates about 1170, Hugh, Earl of Chester, granted the fee of Bisley, co. Gloucester to Humphrey de Bohun, son-in-law of Miles of Hereford. Humphrey was to hold the property for the service of 3 knights fees out of the 5 owed for the fee.

VCH Gloucester 11 (1976): 1 further shows that in 1274, the Hundred Rolls show that the hundred of Bisley was held by Peter Corbet (in right of his wife, Joan), Tibbald le Botiler (in right of his wife, Margery), and Richard le Eyer. Half of the profits belonged to Peter, the other half was shared equally by Tibbald and Richard.

In 1303, a total of 2 3/4 fees in Bisley and Stroud were held from the earl of Hereford. including parts of Bisley manor, which fees were in the possession respectively of Joan Corbet, Tibbald de Verdun, and Richard of Bisley [Reference: Feudal Aids, 2 (1900): 251].

In 1309, at Theobald de Verdun's death, it was recorded that he owned a capital messuage and lands at Bisley, co. Gloucester "in free marriage of the earl of Hereford by service of rendering 1 lb. cummin yearly." [Reference: Cal. IPM, vol. 5 (1908): 96].

The above information, taken together with the abstract of the legal case I posted earlier today, make it clear that Theobald de Verdun's wife, Margery, was the daughter of Humphrey de Bohun, and that she had a 1/4 share of the manor and hundred of Bisley, co. Gloucester in free marriage. Also, it appears that Margery was married previously to a certain Robert de W., who evidently died prior to 1274, without male issue. For an abstract of the legal case, see my earlier post which is shown below.

As to which Humphrey de Bohun was Margery's father, it appears that the correct Humphrey is the Humphrey de Bohun, born say 1230, died 1265, who married before 1249 Eleanor, daughter of William de Breuse, lord of Abergavenny, by Eve, daughter of William le Marshal, Earl of Pembroke. This Humphrey was never Earl of Hereford, he having died in his father's lifetime. This would explain why Theobald de Verdun's statements refer to him only as "one Humphrey" and not as "Humphrey, Earl of Hereford."

It is unusual that a high born marriage for a Bohun woman should have escaped the attention of so many people prior to this time. This situation appears to have been caused by the tangled history of the hundred and manor of Bisley, co. Gloucester, which properties had multiple owners. It is fortunate indeed that a record of Theobald de Verdun's statements regarding his wife's parentage were preserved in the Yearbooks of Edward I and that his inquisition clearly show that he acquired the property at Bisley in free marriage, held under the Earls of Hereford.

Given that some 40 odd immigrants descend from Theobald de Verdun and his wife, Margery de Bohun, this new discovery doubtless affects the ancestry of a good many people here in the newsgroup.

~1349 - 1421 Thomas de Camoys 72 72 homas, Lord de Camoys: Baron by writ and also by tenure of Bekerton Manor, Knight of the Garter and a Privy Counciller. Succeeded on his father's death to Bekerton and Stowe bedon Manors and in 1372 inherited by will the estates of his uncle Lord Thomas (X) de Camoys, including the Manors of Trotton, Elnestede, Broadwater, Alkesbourne, Bercompe, Beningden and other lands in Sussex, Lasham in Hants, Stukeley Magna in Hants, and Tansore, Northants - the latter subject however to the dower of his aunt Lady Margaret de Camoys. By the will of his cousin William, Lord Latimer, 10th July 1381 the Manor and advowson of Wotton, Surrey, which as already seen formerly belonged to his ancestors, was left to him and his heirs. Also on the death of Lord Latimer he inherited divers messuages and lands in Calais held of the Crown "per baroniam", which Edward III in 1376 had granted to Lord Latimer in special tail male with remainder to Thomas, Lord de Camoys in tail male, remainder to the Crown. He appears to have held the Manor and advowson of Wiseley, Surrey, which he let to Isabel, daughter and heiress of Sir Robert Fitz Pain and widow of Richard de Poynynges. In 1395 and 1399 he appears as holding one Knight's fee in Tansore of the Earl of Stafford. In 1401 Richard de Aula and his parcenors held of him six parts of half a Knight's fee in Buttort or Butter's Hall, Thompson, Norfolk. In 1408 he was seised of the Manor of Heschite with its members and of other lands, etc., known as Haterlingland, Sussex, by gift and feoffment of William Gueham. 1406 and again in 1410 and 1411 presented to Itchingfield, Sussex. In a Roll of a Subsidy levied in 1411-12 under Sussex occurs the following,"Thomas Camoys has Manors, lands etc. worth yearly beyond reprises £100. 6. 8d., viz - Manor of Tratton £20. Manor of Ellistede £8. Dedelyng £6., lands etc in Fenyng £6. lands etc. in Bercamp £5. lands etc in Benyngden £3.6.8. lands in Alkisbourne £2. a Manor in Bradwater £45. lands etc late Wm Grene's in Gorynge £5. etc."As will be shown he obtained various lands in Oxfordshire by his first marriage and with his second wife certain Manors in Yorkshire held for her life only. Possibly Honyden Manor, Bedfordshire, of which he also seised, he also obtained by his second marriage. In 1374 he obtained a license to hold a weekly market in Broadwater on Saturdays, which in 1384-5 he had license to alter to Mondays; 1388 obtained a charter for a weekly fair in Broadwater on the eve, day and morrow of the Feast of St. Luke. In 1382 and 1383 he presented to the Church of Wotton. 1379 settled Bekerton Manor upon Robert Braybrook, Bishop of London and other trustees and in 1386 settled upon the same all the lands and tenements in Tansore which Margery relict of Sir Thomas de Camoys (his late uncle) held in dower as part of her late husband's inheritance; further in 1390 conveyed to the same the Manor of Wotton. Summoned to Parliament as a Peer of the Realm from 7 Richard II (1384) to 8 Henry V (1421) and in 1384 on being elected a Knight of the shire was discharged from serving by reason of his being a Banneret. 15th July and again 10th November 1389 received a Commission of the Peace for Sussex, as also on 28th June 1390, with a Commission of oyer and terminer, and again on 24th December of that year; received further Commissions of the Peace for Sussex on 28th November 1399 and 3rd February 1400, and for Hampshire on 16th May 1401: also on 18th December 1399 a Commission of Array for Sussex and Hants and on 23rd January 1400 a similar Commission for Surrey. "Le Sire de Cammoys" appears in 1401, 1403, 1405, and 1415 as a Member of the Privey Council and in September 1414 received the high distinction of the Order of the Garder, filling the stall rendered vacant by the death of William, Lord Roos on the first of that month. In 1377 served with the fleet at sea in the retinue of William, Lord Latimer and in 1379 was in the war with France. 30th July 1380 a commission was issued to the sheriffs and other officials to arrest John Marscall of Whatelee who having been retained by Thomas Cammoys to go with him beyond the seas on the King's service in company with William, Lord Latymer, had absconded with divers sums of the King's money which he had received from said Thomas Cammoys.On 9th July 1381 Lord de Camoys was commissioned with others in Surrey and Sussex to forbid unlawful assemblies and to resist and punish the insurgents, and on 1th October following further commissioned to punish those insurgents who had come out of Kent into Sussex, being on 14th December next ordered to put them down with armed force if necessary. In 1386 he was again in the wars with France. The next year Sir William Berdewell covenanted to serve under him in the expedition to sea under the command of Lord Arundel, Admiral of England, for four months with two esquires sufficiently armed and three archers, each man at arms to have one servant to carry his bayonets, Sir William to find their wages and to have for his own service 18 marks and for his archers 20 and "Bouche de Court" for all his retinue, all to be ready at Southampton the 4th May following and if any great chieftain was taken during the war by Sir William or his retinue they were to receive sufficiently for him. On 3rd November 1399 Thomas de Camoys and his heirs were granted the bailiwick of the forestership of Assholte and Wolmere, Hants, the same as his grandfather Ralph de Camoys had in his demesne as of fee in the time of Edward II. In this year he was also granted for life the custody of the Castle, forest and warren of Porchester, which grant was on 3rd November of that year enlarged to him for life and to his son Richard, the office being described as the Constableship of the Castle and town of Prochestre, Hants, at a salary of 12d per day with payments for a porter and his groom an artiller and a watchman, whom they must keep therein for safety.On 1st June 1400 Thomas Camoys, Chivaler, and others were commissioned to enquire as to all trespasses done to tenants of Henry, Prince of Wales in Old and New Shoreham, Sussex. Amongst the Acts of the Privy Council in 1400 there is a minute of 9th February that the Sire de Camoys, amongst others, is granted "de trov a ses coustages une nief arraie de XX homes d armes et XL archs et suffissantment estuffe de marims:" and in a minute dated February 1402 the Sire de Camoys is mentioned as one of those ordered by the great Council to see the assignment and payment of the "subsidees, custumes dismes et quinzismes" granted to the King, and who therefore are to assemble in the Chamber on 19th instant. Amongst letters from the King dated 26th October 1402 requesting a benevolence, that directed to counties Hants and Wilts is addressed to Lord de Cammoys and two others. On 25th June 1403 he was directed to convoy safely the Lady Queen Joan from Brittany to England, for which service he was to receive £100; conveyed also with certain ships of war, Henry IV escaping from the pestilence raging in London, from Queenborough in the Isle of Sheppey to Leigh in Essex, when pirates who followed them captured four of their store ships and the King only escaped by reason of the swiftness of his ship. For this misadventure Lord de Camoys was accused of being in correspondence with the enemy and plotting to betray the King into their hands and was therefore tried, but acquitted. On 12th November 1404 Richard, Bishop of Bangor, Thomas de Camoys, Sir Richard Aston, Lieutenant of Calais and seven others were appointed to treat in Picardy with the Ambassadors of Margaret, Duchess of Burgundy and Countess of Flanders, as also with the Ambassadors of the King of France. 13th May 1415 appointed with Thomas Montague, Earl of Salisbury, and Thomas, Lord West to array and muster all persons, "both noblers and archers" in the counties of Southampton, Dorset and Wilts to serve the King against the French and Genoese. Commanded the left wing of the army at the battle of Agincourt, 24th October 1415: for an account of his retinue etc. in this battle see appendix. In April of the year following the Constable and Marshal of England, the Earl of Oxford, the Lords de Camoys and de Powys and Monsieur William Bourghcher were ordered to station themselves at Rochester to receive the Emperor Sigismund on his progress from Dover to London. The same year Lord de Camoys served the King in France with 2 Knights 27 men at arms and 60 archers: the year following at the "Three Mynners," Southampton with Richard Maudyt, serjeant at arms, he took the muster of men serving under the Earl of Huntingdon, the Earl Marshal, and others in the expedition which sailed for France on 23rd July. Died Thursday, 28th March 1421 and was buried in the Church of Trotton, Sussex; this Church is a large, rich and very handsome structure and is said to have formerly had a chantrey for the De Camoys family: there is a table tomb on the left side of the alter and one on the right, also several other ancient and curious tombs, the inscriptions all obliterated but presumed to have been the graves of members of the Family. In the centre of the chancel is the table tomb of Thomas, Lord Camoys and his second wife, which, standing about 3 feet from the ground, supports on a slab of Petworth marble measuring 9.5 feet by 4.5 feet a brass profusely decorated displaying the arms of Camoys impaling those of Mortimer and delineating Lord Camoys armed cap a pie, his second wife and a son who died young and bearing the inscription"crate p' aiab's Thome Camoys*Elizabeth's ejus Consortis, qui quondz, erat dñs de Camoys baro*prudes Consul Regis*Regne Anglie' ac Strennuus Miles de Gartero süu fiñe comendavit X to XXVII die mens' Marcii Ao Dm Md ccccxxi quor' a'iab'z, p'piciet ds. A-mé."By inquisitions post mortem in 1422 and subsequently, he was found to have died seised of the following lands, his grandson Hugh being his heir, - Stowbedon Manor, Norfolk, held in chief from the King by military service: in Hants one messuage and garden, 50 acres arable and 40 acres wood with its pertinents in Lasham, held from the King in chief by service of an annual payment to the Castle of Winchester and service to the hundred of Odiham, also lands in Odiham: in Hunts a certain Manor in Stukeley Magna known as Camoys Manor with its pertinents, held from the King in Chief by service unknown: in Northants one virgate of land in Tannesore called the demesne lands and a certain rent, also a separate fishery in the Neen from "Clotherstoke Flowdegates to a certain willow named Answelogh, standing at the end of Perehow mill pond", all held as of the Honor of Gloucester: in Sussex Bradewatre Manor etc. with the advowson of its church and of the chapel there, Akkesbourne Manor, Bercompe Manor, Bynynen Manor and the advowson of Rousparre and of Echyngham churches (44) all held of the Honor of Brembre and being a portion of the Honor of Lewes, Tratton alias Tradyngton Manor and advowson held as of the Manor of Codre, Elnestede Manor as of the Manor of Chudeham, Tyning Manor as of the Manor of Dereford, Dudeling Manor and Demford Manor: in Oxfordshire 1 messuage and 2 carucates of land in Combe Cheleworth Magna and Parva and a fishery in the Thame, together held in chief by the service of half a Knight's fee, also Whatele Manor, which was known as Camoys Manor, a messuage and lands in Lawrence baldon held as of the Honor of St. Walery, a messuage etc., in Hedington held as of Hedington Manor, and Milton Magna Manor, known as Camoys Manor (45): in Bedfordshire, Honyden Manor, appertaining to the Court of Eton.It may be mentioned here that parts of the parishes of Dicheling, Barcompe and Newick, in Sussex, which as related above were the property of Lord de Camoys, were included under the title of "Camois Manor Court," the lord of which was, and still is, a free suitor in the Court Baron of Lewes; also that Trotton, which undoubtedly was the residence of the Lords de Camoys, is still known as "Camois Court."Married first, Elizabeth, daughter and heiress of William de Louches who bore "argent, 2 bars gules, in chief a lion passant of the second"; by this marriage Lord de Camoys acquired the Manor of Ingescourt in Milton Magna, held by Knight service of the Bishop of Lincoln, together with the other estates in Oxfordshire already mentioned. Second, Elizabeth, daughter of Edmund Mortimer, Earl of March who bore "barry of six, or and azure, on a chief of the first 2 palletts between 2 base esquierres of the second, over all an inescutcheon argent", by his wife Philippa, daughter and heiress of Lionel Plantagenet, Duke of Clarence. She was the widow of the celebrated Henry Percy, K.G., surnamed "Hotspur," who was slain in 1403; she was born at Usk 12th February 1371 and dying in 1418 was buried at Trotton as previously mentioned. Her dower as widow of Henry Percy consisted of the Manors of Tadcaster, Gristwaith, Austenby and Thorstanby, Yorks, all held in chief; these Manors reverted after her death to Henry, Earl of Northumberland. It is probable that she held in her own right Nonyden Manor, Bedfordshire. 1420 John Tattershall ~1310 - >1383 John de Camoys 73 73 Lord John de Camoys: second son of Ralph (IX), Lord de Cammoys by his first wife Lady Margaret: Baron by tenure of Bekerton Manor, Norfolk, held in chief "per baroniam", to which together with the Manor of Stowe (Stowe bedon), Norfolk, he succeeded upon his father's death in 1336. His father also portioned him by purchasing in 1326 for him from the King for £200 the wardship and marriage of Margaret daughter of Sir Richard Foliot and co-heiress with her sister Margery - for whose marriage to her son Sir Hugh the Lady Isabella de Hastings gave the King a similar sum - of their father's estates, their brother Richard Foliot having died under age in the same year. In 1329 Margaret was the wife of John de Camoys and was then 14 years of age, the King in consequence of her minority presenting that year to Smetheton Church on her behalf. Her mother Lady Margery de Foliot died before 13th June 1330 in which year she was found by inquisition post mortem to have been seised of Grimeston Manor as of the Manor of Thornhawe, and Wilhawe "de Stallag' fori et mundidionz terr, " Notts, Norton Manor held by Knight service from Queen Philippa as the Honor of Pontefract, Fenewk, Moseleye, Shafton redd', 35s.5. yearly rent in Brantingham held by Knight service of Thomas de Wake of Lidell, Yorks, Elsinge Manor as of the Honor of Clare, Lexham Manor as a member of Gressinghale Manor, Norfolk. These lands would appear to have formed a part only of the Foliot estates. On 8th. November 1330 an agreement dated Sunday the Feast of St. Martin between Hugh de Hastynges and Margery his wife and John de Cammoys and his wife Margaret by the assent of Lady Isabella de Hastynges the mother of Hugh and of Sir Ralph de Cammoys father of John was enrolled in Chancery, by which purparty of part of the inheritance of Richard Foliot was made leaving the fees of the said inheritance not therein comprised to be held in common until they could conveniently be made purperty of. The division thus made was - to Hugh and Margery Hastings, Elsing Manor and advowson and the town of Wesenham, Norfolk, Norton Manor and advowson of its chapel and Fenewyk, Yorks, Grymston, Notts, also the advowsons of the churches of Smytheton and Brusellee. - To John and Margaret Cammoys, Gressenhale Manor and advowson, and Lexham Manor, Norfolk, Cousley and Moselee with their appurtenances, Yorks, 60s yearly rent out of Brantingham and 40s yearly rent in Wesenham Manor, also the advowsons of Stanfeld Church, of Roughholm chapel in Gressenhale and of Wentlynge Abbey. In 1347 John de Camoys and his parcenors held one and a half Knight's fees in Linford, Norfolk (42), which they let to John le Spicer and Stephen Baldwyn. In 1331 he and his wife released to Sir Hugh and Lady Hastings the lordships of Gressenhale and Lexham with all their rights therein, together with the advowsons of Roughholm chapel and Wentlynge Abbey, Norfolk, but this was probably a mortgage only as in 1348 John de Camoys presented to Gressinghale. In 1345 "John de Camoys, Chivaler" and Margaret his wife sold Cowesly and Mosely Manors, Brantingham and Riplingham and the advowson of Stanfeld, Yorks. In 1338 he was called upon to raise 20 foot soldiers in the West Riding of Yorkshire. 1345 letters of protection until Christmas day were granted to "John de Camoys, Chivaler" on setting out with Thomas de Bello Campo, Earl of Warwick, into foreign parts. In 1359 the King being on his way to the war in France gave authority in his absence to John de Camoys and others for an array of men in Norfolk and made one of the Council for the government of the Kingdom in the King's absence, and in this year also was directed to raise 150 archers in Norfolk for the passage of the King into France and subsequently 50 armed horse in addition. Died in his elder brother's lifetime, i.e. before 1372. In a Roll of Arms of Edward III reign dated between 1337 and 1350 is given "Le Sire de Camoys port d'or, and cheif de gules, a trois pellets en le cheif d'argent." Married as already stated Margaret, younger daughter of Sir Richard Foliot who bore "gules, a bend argent", and co-heiress with her sister Margery of her brother Richard. <1314 - >1345 Margaret Foliot 31 31 (j) Sir John had m. Margaret, sister and coheir of Richard Foliot, 3rd Lord Foliot, but it is very doubtful whether she was the mother of Thomas, as the whole of the Foliot inheritance seems to have passed to her sister Margery, who m. Sir Hugh Hastings. [CP XIV:138 states that Margaret dsp.]

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

His [Richard Foliot's] coheirs were his two sisters. (1) Margery, aged 12 or 13, and afterwards wife of Sir Hugh de Hastinges. (2) Margaret, aged 11 or 12, and afterwards 1st wife of Sir John de Camoys. After the death of Margery, widow of Jordan Foliot abovenamed, the lands, &c., which she had held for life of the inheritance of Margery and Margaret were liberated to Hugh and Margery, John and Margaret, 13 June and 11 December 1330. They partitioned their inheritance by charter dated Sundav the Feast of St. Martin 11 November 1330. By two fines, levied from St. Hilary in fifteen days 18 Edw. III, John de Camoys chr. and Margaret his wife, conveyed their purparty to themselves -and the heirs of their bodies: remainder to Hugh de Hastinges kt. and Margery his wife, and the heirs of the body of Margery, remainder to the right heirs of Margaret. Margaret, wife of John de Camoys, died s.p.. Hugh de Hastinges died 21 July 1347, and was buried in Elsing Church: brass. Margery, his wife, died 8 August 1349.

~1283 - <1336 Ralph de Camoys 53 53 1306 - Knighted Along With Prince Edward

Ralph Lord de Cammoys: Baron by writ and also by tenure of Flockthorpe Manor and subsequently by tenure also of Bekerton Manor, Norfolk. As already stated, his father granted Flockthorpe Manor to him in his lifetime, and in 1295 a writ was issued to seize "Ralph de Cameys son of John de Cameys" in that Manor, the same as his father had enfeoffed him. Heir to his father's and his mother's estates, and in 1311 on his mother's death also succeeded to her marriage portion consisting of the Manor in Eling, Hants, and half the Manor in Lasham, also in Hants, previously referred to. In 1317 and 1324, he still owed a portion of the relief due for obtaining livery of Eling from the King. He appears to have come of age in 1305, when he did homage for Flockthorpe Manor, the next year being Knighted with Prince Edward and many others "by bathing and other sacred ceremonies." Prior to 1316, he would seem to have been granted by he King the Manors (27) of Bekerton and Stowe, Norfolk, held in Chief - the former apparently "per Baroniam." Probably by the terms of the grant these Manors were entailed upon his second son John. Acquired by his first wife a quarter of a Knight's fee in Effingham, (28) Surrey, held of the Honor of Gloucester, together with the Manor of Little Bokham adjoining it: the capital messuage and one part of this Manor he held of the King as a quarter of a Knight's fee value £10, another part he held of John Pikard by like service value 10s, and 4 yards of land of the Abbot of Chertsey at the rent of 7s. He also appears to have acquired by his first wife the Manor of Woolbeding (29), Sussex, held of the Honor of Brembre, as in 1305 he and his wife possessed it. In 1303, his mother-in-law, Lady Mary de Braose with the King's consent, enfeoffed him and his wife Margaret in Bokham Parva, he in return enfeoffing his mother and Sir Wm. Paynell in Flockthorpe Manor to hold for his wife. In 1306, Ralph and his wife Margaret regranted Bokham Parva Manor with the lands in Effingham to Lady Mary de Braose, on her death in 1326, again obtaining the lands. By his second wife, he appears to have obtained the Manors of Rogate (30), Hering(30), Tortwike, Tadeham and Alfradesham (Alfriston), all in Sussex. In 1303, he obtained a grant of free warren in Hamptonett, Sussex. In 1316, it was certified persuant to writ that he was Lord of the following Manors, namely Stowe and Bekerton, Norfolk: Chylteley, Eling and Burwell, Hants: Broadwater, Trotton, Barcomb (31) Newick (32) Chiddingley (33), Hoodley and Isenhurst, and Elnested, (34) Sussex: also joint Lord of Thompson (35) and Hardingham, Norfolk: in Northants, Elmington (36), Tansour and Stoke with its members. It is probable that he built the present Church of Trotton, which dates from about this period. In Edward II reign, he also appears to have held the Manor of Bradeford by Taunton, Somerset, which he still possessed in 1330. In 1320, he would appear to be holding lands in Toppesfield, Essex. 1330, he mortgaged, with his eldest son, his Manor in Great Stukeley. In 1320, the King confirmed to him the tenement called Witherfield in Duntefold (37), Surrey, to be held by the customary service, and two years later acknowledged the payment of £100 by him for land known as "La Rudes" in the same parish. In 1327, he obtained a grant of free warren in his Manor of Rogate, Herting, Tortwyke, Tadeham and Alfredesham, with a license to hold a free market weekly in Rogate, which Manor he held from Thomas Earl of Arundel. In 1301, and again in 1324, he obtained a commission of oyer and terminer for trial of various persons who had broken into his park at Flockthorpe, hunted therein and carried away his deer, and in 1310 a similar commission for trial of others who had felled and taken away trees in Flockthorpe. In 1309, he presented to St. George's Church, Hardingham, and in the same year claimed the patronage of the Church of Piriho Priory for his tenant Wm de Kyrkby, but on account of a dispute concerning the presentation with Mabill de Hornby and John Knyvet, the Bishop presented. In this year also he obtained a grant of free warren in Woolbeding Manor. In 1312, he presented to St. Mary's, Pilton. 1313 obtained license to hold weekly markets and a fair at Broadwater, and the next year sued various persons for trespassing in his free warren there. By an inquisition ad quod damnum in 1315, Ralph de Camoys was found to hold the following woods - Elinge wood in the New Forest, with 40 acres of wood in Patresham, 70 in Fletewood and 16 in Birchwode, a parcel of Elinge Manor, all in Hants, also Pilkington (Pilton) wood within the boundary of the Royal Forest of Rockingham, Northants; and thereupon on 14th March of that year, he obtained the King's permission to fell in Pilton Wood trees to the value of 100 marks to assist him to pay the heavy ransom exacted from him by the Scots. From this it may be inferred that he was one of the numerous English nobles who were taken prisoners at the battle of Bannockburn. The following year he obtained letters of protection until Midsummer next wilst undertaking a pilgrimage to Santiago. In 1316, he levied a fine in Tansor and in that year, also, he settled Bekerton Manor upon his wife. It is probable that this was the date of his second marriage. The same year, he obtained license during pleasure to hunt the fox and the hare, fence time excepted, in the Royal forests in counties Northants, Hunts, and Hants. On 27 January 1319, he again obtained letters of protection whilst making a pilgrimage to Santiago. In this year he presented to Hardingham and to Pilton, and also successfully upheld his right to one half of the Manor of Lasham, as part of his mother's marriage portion, against Robert, Warden of St. Nicholas' hospital, Portsmouth.From 4th June to Machaelmas 1320, he acted as one of Hugh le Despenser's attorneys. In this year, he obtained a confirmation of two grants which he had made to various persons of all his lands in Hardingham and also a commission of oyer and terminer for the trial of various persons who had fished in his stews in Stowbedon Manor. In 1322, it is related in the Close Rolls that Sir Thomas Wake of Blisworth and Thomas Wake of Liddell owed him 100 marks secured upon their lands in Northamptonshire, but in 1328 Ralph and his son Thomas appear as owing the latter 1000 marks, secured upon their lands in Sussex; between 1322 and 1334 there are many similar enrollments of debts due by and to Ralph de Cameys, and, from 1328, by him and his son Thomas jointly. In 1324, the Manor of Cokeham in Sumpting, (38) Sussex, and the advowson of the hospital of St. Anthony annexed thereto, were settled by fine upon Ralph and his wife Elizabeth for life, and on their son Ralph for life, remainder to their grandson John, and on failure of his issue to his sisters Margaret and Isabella and their heirs in succession, remainder to the right heirs of Ralph. In 1327, he obtained license at the request of Sir Thomas Roscelyn to grant to his son Thomas de Cameys and his wife Margaret the Manor of Flockthorpe and the advowson of Hardingham Church. Ralph appears at the same time, probably the occasion of his son's marriage to Margaret de Roscelin, to have also granted the latter Pilton Manor, Hunts, and lands in Sussex. In Volume 6 of the Sussex Archaeological Collections in a description of Edward II visit to Battle Abbey the following occurs: "On Friday September 7th the expenses at Petworth were £8. 17s. 5.75 and the presents consisted of bread, 3 eels, 1 trout, 3 large pikes, 3 bream, 4 mullets, a fish dinner for the Friday; but the day was not passed in gloom, for there is and entry of 20s paid to Nicholas the Harper, minstrel of Sir Ralph de Camoys, and playing before the said lord King, as a gift by his own hands." In 1288, Ralph de Cameys had a remittance of Common summons for the Common Pleas in Sussex (i.e. as being a minor). In 1305 and again in 1313, he received letters of protection whilst going beyond the seas on the King's affairs with Hugh le Despenser the Elder. In 1307, he was summoned for Sussex with his consort to attend the coronation of Edward II in the train of the King and Queen. The next year and apparently again in 1310, summoned to perform military service against the Scots, on the latter occasion he preferred the service of one Knight's fee for all his lands held in chief in Norfolk (i.e. Flockthorpe Manor) to be performed by two "servientes" with two barbed horses; in 1315, he was requested by the King to continue stationed in the northern parts during the winter campaign and to repair to him on the Feast of All Saints, then next; in 1318, 1319, 1322, and 1323 summoned again to perform military service in person against the Scots, but discharged from the summons on the last occasion; he was again summoned for the same purpose to muster at Newcastle on Tyne in 1335. Summoned to Parliament in the 7th, 8th, 9th, 11th, 12th, 13th, 14th, 15th, 16th, 17th, 18th, 19th, Edward II, as also in the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th, 9th, Edward III. In 1316 and 1318, one of the Conservators of the Peace in Sussex and in 1317 one of the Justices appointed in that county to suppress illegal meetings, and also appointed Warden of the City of Chichester. Addressed in 1318, as one of the "Majores barones:" next year one of the Commission of the Peace for Hampshire; in 1319, commissioned with other justices to deliver Chichester gaol. In this year Hugh le Despenser the younger, Ralph de Camoys and Elizabeth his wife obtained a pardon for acquiring for themselves and the heirs of Ralph the bailliwick of the forestership of Assheholte and Wolmere from Richard de Venuz, tenant in chief. In 1320, Ralph de Camoys was appointed Governor of Winsor Castle and Warden of the forest, which important post he held until the end of the reign of Edward II. In this year in consideration of services sent by him in 1311 he obtained his writ of scutage; the same year and also in 1325 and 1326 one of the Conservators of the Peace for Surrey and Sussex, in the first mentioned year being commanded to act vigorously, and in the last to disperse seditious assemblies and to apprehend offenders: also in this year appointed for counties Bedford and Bucks pursuant to Act of Parliament, for the punishment of offenses committed by Sheriffs and others by colour of the offices; 1321 was one of the justices appointed in counties Beds and Bucks for the punishment of offenses and extortions of collectors of aids and also one of the justices in the said counties to decide, pursuant to ordinance of Parliament, causes by bill: the same year requested to co-operate in appeasing disturbances and to refrain from attending illegal assemblies, particularly that of the "Good Peers" convened by the Earl of Lancaster to be held at Doncaster on the Sunday next after the quinzaine of St. Martin - 29th November: the same year commissioned with Nicholas atte Hull to deliver certain persons from Odiham Castle: also in this year granted the chief custody of the Manors of Berhampton, Hants, and Woking, Sutton and Braggeshut, Surrey. The following extract from the process by Parliament in 1321 against Hugh le Despenser the Elder (Earl of Winchester) and Hugh le Despenser the Younger, -the King's favourite- throws a light upon many of the offices filled by Lord Ralph de Camoys, the suits brought against him and the lands he acquired - "also in order to obtain their evil and covetous wishes --- they (the Despensers) removed the good and suitable ministers who were appointed by assent and replaced them by other false and bad ministers of their conspiracy who would not suffer right to be done and appointed sheriffs, escheators, constables of Castles and others in the King's offices who were not suitable for the King of his people, and caused judges who were ignorant of the law of the land to hear and determine matters touching the magnates and the people, such as Sir Hugh, the father, Sir Ralph Basset, Sir Ralph de Camoys, Sir John Inge and other their allies and sworn (adherents), and by conspiracy of such ministers and their false procurers and aiders caused the peers of the land to be falsely indicted by false jurors of their alliance, to wit the Earl of Hereford, Sir John Giffard of Brymmesfeld and Sir Robert de Mohaut and other good men, coveting their lands -- also they counselled the King evilly to take into his hands the lands and chattels of Sir Hugh D'audele, the son, and forjudged him of his lands without process of law, coveting to accroch those lands to Hugh (Despenser) the son." In 1322 Ralph de Camoys was enjoined to raise as many men at arms and foot soldiers as he could and to appear at Coventry with them on the first Sunday in Lent for the purpose of proceeding against the rebels and adherents of the Earl of Lancaster (i.e. the "Good Peers"): the same year exonerated in consequence of his continuance with the King from the fine imposed upon the Knights and esquires of the counties of Southampton, Sussex and Northampton; the same year empowered to attack Robert Lewer and to take the Castle of Odyham by force, also to act jointly and severally with John de S'c'o Johanne in pursuing the said Robert and his accomplices, for the trial of whose offenses he made one of the justices of oyer and terminer in the County of Southampton: 6th May 1324 he was appointed to enquire the names of those who took or concealed any goods of the said Robert Lewer now deceased, and on 30th July the Sheriff of Southampton was ordered to release Margery late the wife of Robert Lewer, a late rebel, and to deliver her to Ralph Cammoys. In 1327, Margery Lewer brought an action against Ralph de Camoys to recover her late husband's Manor of Westbury, Bucks, which she pleaded had been unjustly seized by him after her husband's attainder in the previous reign. Ralph produced in defence a charter of Edward II, dated 1324, granting Westbury to him and his wife Elizabeth with remainder to their sons Hugh, but Margery having proved that he had obtained unjust possession of Westbury long before that date, judgement was given in her favour. In 1331, William de Holhurst brought an action against Ralph de Camoys and three others relative to the Manor of Bromley, Kent, similar to that brought by Margery Lewer in 1327. He was met by a similar defence and although the result does not appear it was probably in favour of the plaintiff, as Bromley Manor does not figure again as the property of the Camoys family. On 30th July 1322 the justices of Assize in Sussex were ordered by the Prior of Hernyngham before them against Ralph de Camoys concerning tenements in Sountynge, Lanncynge, New Shorham, Horsham and Stangemerynge, for so long as the said Ralph remained in the King's service in the Scottish war; on 5th August following Ralph was granted a protection on going to this war with the Earl of Winchester, the same month he was ordered to certify the King of the tenor of the record and process and pronunciation of judgement at Wyndesore upon Francis de Aldeham, the King's enemy and traitor, by him and others appointed by the King for this purpose, and of all thing touching the same, and of the day of the pronunciation of judgement. In 1323 commanded to provide packsaddles for the army (?against the Scots) in case it should be necessary to advance without the wagon train. In this year he obtained license to enfeoff Jno. de Hampton and Peter de Gosele of his Manor of Elinge and their heirs. In 1324 commanded to hold himself in readiness to perform military service in person for the defence of the Duchy of Aquitaine and to raise all the forces he could in addition to his contingent due by tenure and to lead them to Plymouth: subsequently in consequence of his being ill he was ordered to send some expert person in his place; the same year summoned to perform military service in person in Gascony, but the muster was prorogued until the following year when he was discharged from attendance; the same year returned Knight of the shire by the sheriffs of Sussex and Southampton severally and summoned to attend the Great Council of the Magnates at Westminster by subsequently discharged from attendance; the same year appointed one of the commanders or keepers of the sea shore of Kent, Surrey and Sussex, a "dedimus" being issued empowering the Archbishop of Canterbury to swear him in the due execution of the office, afterwards the Archbishop and the Bishop of Winchester were requested by writ to assist him in his capacity of "custos" of the sea shores; the same year appointed one of the Manucaptors for the good behaviour of Thomas de Byngham, an adherent of the Earl of Lancaster, and responsible for his fine. In 1325, 1326 and again in 1327 appointed jointly with Robert de Kendale Constable of Dover Castle and Warden of the Cinque Ports, on 30th September 1326 being ordered to be diligent in arresting suspected persons and in searching for letters. The same year one of the chief Inspectors of Array in Sussex and Surrey to whom special powers were granted, and that year also appointed one of the Chief Supervisors of Array for the counties of Southampton and Wilts in the room of the Earl of Winchester; on 18th July of this year the King notified that he had explained his pleasure as to the ware with France to Ralph de Camoys. On the imprisonment and murder of Edward II, Lord Ralph de Camoys obtained a pardon from Edward III for his adherence to Hugh le Despenser the Younger, lately a rebel, dated 19th February 1327. In 1329, he and two others received a commission of oyer and terminer to try certain persons who had trespassed and stolen timber from the park of Edmund, Earl of Kent, at Arundel. On 24th January 1331, an order issued from the King and Council to Ralph de Camoys to attend in Chancery on the quinzaine of the Purification next to inform the King's Council concerning certain matters which should be said to him on the King's behalf, and on 28th November of the same year his accounts for the custody of Red Castle and the Castle of Egemundon, the Hamlet of Marchumle, Manor of Forde and Township of Newport, county Salop, the property of Nicholas de Audele, and for the custody of the Castle of Helegh and Manors of Tunstall, Horton and Endon belonging to the same, were settled to the 15th February 1327 when the King had granted the said custodies to Roger de Mortimer of Wyggemore. In 1333 a commission of oyer and terminer was granted to try Sir Ralph de Camoys and others on complaint of John de Moubray, Lord of the Honor of Brembre, that they had carried away 4 tuns of wine, £20, and other goods driven ashore in a storm at Worthing and that they had broken four of his parks, entered his free chase at St. Leonards, hunted there and carried away deer, and had assaulted his servants at Horsham and Shoreham. In 1335, a similar commission was granted for the trial of various persons who had broken Lord Ralph de Camoy's parks at Trotton, Demford, and Alkesbourne, Sussex, hunted there and carried away deer and his goods, and also his goods at Elnestede, Dydelinge, Rogate, Broadwater, Duryngton, Beningden and Berecampe (39). In a Roll of Arms of the time of Edward III is given "Rauf de Camays porte d'or un cheif de goules et trois torteaux d'argent on le chief." Died prior to 24th June 1336, in which year he was found by inquisition to have died seized of a messuage in Tanesoure, Northants; his inquisitions in other counties do not seem to have been preserved. Married first, circa 1303, Margaret, daughter of William de Braose who held large estates in Surrey and who bore "Gules, 3 bars vair," she was probably buried in Trotton Church where there is a mural tomb against the south wall and in the pavement a long slab of black marble, a brass portrait of a lady being inlaid, with a flowing mantle into which several inescutcheons were inserted, probably emblazoned in enamel but since removed. Ther marginal brasses are inscribed "Margarite de Camois gisc ici - Dieu de sa alme eyt merci." Second, circa 1314, Elizabeth, daughter of Hugh le Despenser the Elder, Earl of Winchester, who bore "quarterly argent and gules, in the second and third quarters a fret or, over all a bend sable."
1124 - 1160 Robert de Ros 36 36 ~1285 - <1314 Margaret de Braose 29 29 1246 - <1299 John de Camoys 53 53 Lord John de Cameys: Baron by tenure of Flockthorpe Manor. Heir to his father, and aged about 27 years on the latter's death, when on doing homage to the King and paying 100 marks as a baron's relief he obtained livery of his father's lands. Prior to his doing this the King had (1277) presented to the Church of Boddington and Ufford (i.e. Torpel). He acquired by marriage a Manor in Eling held in grand serjeanty by the annual service of one pair of gilt spurs and 30 acres of assart at 6s 8d rent, with lands in Hambledon held by military service of John de St. John, and half a Manor in Lasham, all in Hampshire. Through his wife on her father's death circa 1269 he also acquired a portion of the Gatesden estate, consisting of the Manors of Broadwater, Ullaventon, Tratinton otherwise Trotton and Budelynges, with lands and tenements of Groffam, Alfradesham, Dychenninge, Fletchinge and Demesford situated towards the aforesaid Manors, all which Manors etc. lay in Sussex (26) and apparently comprised 8 Knight's fees held of the Honor of Brembre: also the advowsons of the churches, chapels, and chantries of Broadwater, Ullaventon, Groffham, Tratington, Hetchingfeld (26) and Fletchinge, the Manor of Hegton, Sussex, and one third of a Knight's fee held of the Honor of Leicester, also lands in Kyrkeby Betume, Norfolk, for which Sir John de Gatesdene had paid £8 a year rent to the King. On the death of his grandmother Mabel de Torpel in 1276-7 Lord John de Cameys was found to be her heir and on paying a relief received livery of her lands in Cambridge, held of Roger de Mowbray. As no further mention is made of these lands he probably sold them. In addition to his Manor in Wood Ditton he held other lands in that Parish, which with one third of Newmarket composed three Knight's fees held of the Earl of Brittany; these lands he sold prior to 1284-6 to Robert de Valeynes and they then became known as Ditton Valence in contradiction to Ditton Cameys, the Manor which he held in chief in Wood Ditton; this latter Manor he demised to the King and Queen in 1281 for a term of 15 years, no doubt in payment of a debt due to the Crown, and in 1285 released to them all his rights therein. In addition to his Manor in Orwell he held 25 acres as a free tenant at a rent of 17s. 9. Previous to 1290 he had sold Orwell Manor to John de Kyrkeby and John de Lovetot, but subject to his wife's right of dower therein. Between 1276, in which year he presented to the living, and 1280 he also sold Cotterstoke with the advowson of the Church of Piriho Priory to John de Kyrkeby; he would also appear to have sold Glapthorne. Referred to in the Close Rolls of 1275-8-9 and 1280 as owing various persons sums of 35, 40, 25, 38, 20, 12 and 110 marks, and also £32, all secured upon his lands in Sussex, Essex and Cambridge. 26th July 1280 the King having granted to Queen Eleanor a debt of 500 marks owned by John de Cameys to one Haginus, a Jew of London, the Exchequer was ordered to levy payment of this debt, whereupon in payment Lord John de Cameys released to the King and Queen his rights in his Manor of Torpel and Upton together with their advowsons for a term of 10 years, with a proviso that his tenants in Pilketon, Cotterstoke and Glapthorn should not do suit or service at the Manor Court of Torpel; the following year in consideration of 600 marks he released to the King all his rights in the said lands and advowsons, which were estimated at the yearly value of £80. In 1291, the King granted these Manors and advowsons to the Abbot of Burgh (Peterborough) during pleasure at a rent of £100. Is seems evident that the Abbot sublet these lands to their former owner, as on his death in 1299 Lord John de Cameys was returned as being seised of them. In Hengham, Norfolk, John de Cameys held lands in chief, which he sold without license from the Crown. Mentioned as holding in 1275, 110 acres in Pampesworthe hundred, Cambridgeshire, occupied by free tenants, also 57.5 acres in the township of Henxton, in chief, wherein he claimed in 1279 "ab antiquo" rights of gallows, "tumberelli", assay of bread and ale and view of frank pledge. He would appear to have sold his lands in Henxton subsequent to 1284-6 and subsequently to 1279 he sold Burwell Manor to Robert Tiptoft who then held it from him by the service of one sparrow. He claimed free warren in Orwell by right of Charter to his father Ralph, and similarly claimed free warren in Flockthorpe. In 1275, he is mentioned as having free warren in Broadwater, Trotton, Audelings, Woolavington, Bemesford and Elnested, Sussex, together with rights of assay of bread and ale and, upon those of his lands adjoining the Sussex coast, rights of wreckage. In 1281, he is mentioned as having view of frank pledge in Stukeley. 1287 presented his cousin David de Cameys (see Kemeys of Kemeys) to St. Mary's Church, Pilton, in succession to his cousin Nicholas de Cameys deceased or resigned. 1294 presented his kinsman Stephen de Hepworth (see Cameys of Great Stukeley) to the Church of St. George, Hardingham, which living was valued at 35 marks and possessed a manse with 60 acres of land attached to it. In 1295, he obtained license from the King to enfeoff his son Ralph in Flockthorpe Manor. In 1277, he was summoned to perform military service in person for his lands in Cambridge and Norfolk against Llewelyn Prince of Wales, the muster being at Worcester in 8 days of the Festival of St. John the Baptist, in pursuance of which summons he acknowledged the service of one Knight's fee, half for the inheritance of his father (i.e. Ditton Cameys) and half for that of his mother (i.e. Henxton), to be performed by himself and one "serviens", and also the service of one fee held in serjeanty (i.e. Flockthorpe), to be performed by one "serviens". In 1278-9, he was assessed to pay 40s scutage on Flockthorpe for the Welsh war. In 1282 again summoned to perform military service in person against the Welsh, the muster being at Worcester on Whitsuntide, May 17th, and he having already gone to Wales on 6th July following letters of protection were granted to him until Machaelmas whilst on the King's service. On a further summons to Rhuddlan for Sunday, August 2nd - the morrow of St. Peter ad Vincula, - he acknowledged the service of one and half Knight's fees only, to be performed by himself and two "servientes", he having previously, as already stated, sold Ditton Cameys Manor to the King; to this muster he appeared three weeks late but his default was excused by the King. There is no record of his having been summoned to Parliment, there being no writs extant between 49 Henry III (1265) and 23 Edward I (1295). Lord John de Cameys bore "Or, on a chief gules 2 roundeles arg." He died in 1299, when according to his post mortem inquisition in Northamptonshire he was seised in that county of "Torpell manor' extent'. Leholm cultura, ibidem vocat' Hilhawe contin' 63 acres etc., Ayston hamlet' extent'. Ufford adv. ecc. pertin' ad manor' de Torpel. Dounhall messuagia ibidem. Leholme dimid' feod'. Upton Maner' extent'" Married Margaret, daughter and heiress of Sir John de Gatesdene, whom he subsequently made over by deed (see Appendix) to Sir William Paynell, whose wife she was then called; in 1289, he further granted to Paynell all the lands he held in Sussex in right of his wife for a term of 100 years, i.e. for his own lifetime. She outlived her husband and under this deed claimed on his death her dower of one third of his estate, but this by judgement by Parliment, 29 and 30 ED.I (1301-2), was negatived on the ground that a husband's deed could not legalize adultery. After her husband's death, she obtained license on paying the King 100 marks, to marry whom she pleased, whereupon she married Sir Wm. Paynell. He bore "arg. 2 bars sable between 7 martlets gules, 4, 2 and 1. ~1248 - <1311 Margaret de Gatesden 63 63 ~1170 - 1259 Stephen de Cameis 89 89 Lord Stephen de Cameis: Baron by tenure of Flockthorpe Manor, Norfolk, unquestionably inherited, with the lands and advowson of Hardinghom and the Manor of Cemeis, from his father, as probably also the lands in Tansour, Northants and Toppesfield, Essex, already referred to. Probably granted by Richard I the Manor of Wood Ditton, (10) Cambridgeshire, held in chief as half a Knight's fee and by annual payment of 2s to the Sheriffs court; appears to have been granted by David, Earl of Huntingdon a Manor in Stukeley Magna, (11) Hunts, which he held as a quarter of a Knight's fee from the said Earl; also held lands in Suffolk. Died before 1198 in which year the King sold the wardship of his children to the Earl of Huntingdon, as appears from the following account in the Pipe Roll among the new payments due during that year under counties Cambridge and Huntingdon, "Earl David owes 200 marks for having the wardship of the land and the "heir" of Stephen de Cameis in the whole of his property, saving thereout his service to the King (i.e. for those lands held in chief), and because the Earl may not divide that Estate (baronies were not divisible) he also returns an account in Northamptonshire." Consequently the same year under Northamptonshire there is and entry that "Earl David returns an account as to 200 marks for having wardship of the estate and of the "heirs" of Shephen de Cameis."The following year the Earl still owed 50 marks under the same head in Northants. Married Matilda, daughter of Gilbert de la Leghe, of la Leghe, Effingham and Polesden, Surrey, whose family bore "or, on a chevron sable 3 lions rampant argent, armed and langued gules"; she held in her own right a Manor in North Denchworth, Berks (12) as two parts of a Knight's fee held of the Honor of Giffard, which Honor was then possessed by Walter Marshall, Earl of Pembroke, and also lands in Wiseley, Surrey; It seems evident that she held in addition as her dower the Manor of Wotton (13), Surrey, on Knight's fee held of the Honor of Clare and worth yearly £15. 13s. 0d. In the reign of King John, the Abbot of Chertsey claimed (12) the wardship of her heir because, as he stated, her father had held from him a free tenement in Effingham (adjoining Wotton), whereupon Matilda replied that being dowered she was free from his claims. On 29th October 1214, the King commanded Simon de Patishull and his companions to bring Matilda de Cameis and (? her son) Nicholas de Ainesti to Court (14), evidently fearing her influence over her eldest son Ralph de Cameis, as two years later it is stated that "Matilda de Cames had her son with the Barons, "i.e. in arms against King John. She married secondly prior to 1206 Hugh de Anestie. ~1170 Matilda de la Leghe ~1135 - >1189 Stephen de Cameis 54 54 Stephen de Cameis: Baron by tenure of Flockthorpe Manor, Norfolk, which wit the lands and advowson of Hardingham, and the Manor of Cemeis he undoubtedly inherited from his father; probably also succeeded to the lands in Tansour and Toppesfield aforesaid. Between 1154-57 he witnessed a charter of Gilbert de Clare, second Earl of Hereford, certifying the gift by King Henry of the churches of Wirecesbury (Wrasbury) and Langly to the Abbot of Gloucester(6). He is also mentioned in the Pipe Roll of 1186 amongst the Barons of Norfolk, as owing 20s scutage because he did not join the King's army against the Welsh, and is again referred to in 1189 as still owing 15s. Married a daughter of .....Wallensis(i.e. the Welshman) and sister of Ralph Wallensis ~1153 Wallensis ~1110 William de Cameis William de Cameis: who may be assumed to have inherited Flockthorpe and Hardingham, with the advowson of the latter, as also the Manor of Cemeis in South Wales; witnessed as "William de Chames," a charter (6) of Ralph the son of Stephen, tempore King Henry(1100-35), granting Pethsage in his Manor of Winterbourne, Gloucestershire, to the monastery of St. Peter's Gloucester. Married a daughter of Robert Fitz Humphrey (7) whose family held large estates in Toppesfield and Gelham, Essex (7a) and who would appear to have been a connection of the Bec family, being heir to a Mabel de Bec; by this lady he appears to have acquired half a Knights fee in Tansour (7a), Northants, held of the Honor of Clare, with the alternate right of presentation to its church, and probably also a Manor in Toppesfield, Essex, likewise held of the Honor of Clare. ~1115 fitzHumphrey ~1085 Stephen de Cameis Stephen de Cameis: Baron by tenure of Flockthorpe Manor held in chief by serjeanty and "per baroniam"; also held in chief 1/4 Knight's fee in Hardingham, with the advowson of the latter. He undoubtedly also held the Manor of Cemeis in South Wales. Mentioned in the Pipe Roll of 1131 as one of the sureties of Blehien de Mabuderi and his brothers in Caermarthenshire who had been fined 7 marks of silver for carrying off the daughter of Bleheri by force. Granted to the Abbey of Wymondham a windmill in Flockthorpe with the "scite and suit", saving to himself the grinding of corn for his family and the tithe thereof to the Church of St. George, Hardingham. Married Mabel, daughter of Walter de Bec, who held lands in Norfolk and was possessor of a castle in Caermarthenshire which in 1135 was captured and burnt by the Welsh; he was third son of Walter de Bec, lord of large estates in Flanders, to whom William I had granted Eresby and other lands in Lincolnshire; his family bore "gules, a cross moline argent". Lady Mabel with the consent of her sons gave to the Church of Holy Trinity, Norwich, in the Chapter House by a deed without date witnessed by Alan, priest of Flockthorpe, and others, 20s a year out of her Manor of Herpele, otherwise Uphall, in Harpley, Norfolk, for the souls of her father and mother and her other relations, as well predecessors as successors; in 1109 by another deed witnessed by the aforesaid priest and others, she gave to the same church and to the monks her brethern serving God there, all her land in Herpele with all her men and all its appurtenances, which came to her from her ancestors and was her own proper patrimony and inheritance, with the consent of her husband and sons. These grants as also that of her husband are preserved amongst the registers of Norwich Cathedral (4), together with a Bull of Pope Eugenius confirming the gift of "that noble woman Mabilia de Bec." 1129/1138 - >1212 Sibyl de Valognes 1090 Mabel de Bec ~1045 - <1109 John de Camays 64 64 John de Cameys: mentioned (1) in a List, supplemental to the Roll of Battel Abbey, of Normans who remained alive after the battle of Hastings, 14th October 1066 and were advanced to "the signories of England"; probably was at the conquest of Glamorganshire in 1091, receiving as his share of the lands snatched from the Welsh, the lands of Cemeis, from which he then took his cognomen. Either he or his son were afterwards granted by William I or William II a Manor in Flockthorpe (2) Norfolk, to hold from the King as one Knight's fee by serjeanty and "per baroniam" (3) and also a quarter of a Knight's fee in Hardingham (2) adjoining Flockthorpe, to hold in chief by military service, together with the advowson of Hardingham Church. Died prior to 1109; married.... ~1065 - 1131 Walter de Bec 66 66 1035 Walter de Bec ~1075 Robert fitzHumphrey <1133 - <1179 Henry le Waleys 46 46 HENRY WALLENSIS (le Waleys), who in 1154-58 witnessed a charter of Henry de Lacy, is the earliest member of this family of whom there is definite evidence. In 1166 he held 3 knights' fees of the Honor of Pontefract of Henry de Lacy and ½ knight's fee of Guy de la Val, who was a tenant of the same Honor (b).

He married Agnes and died possibly before 1179 and certainly before 1185. His widow married Hervey DE LEDSTONE, whom she survived, and was living cirea 1220. [Complete Peerage XII/2:317, (transcribed by Dave Utzinger)]

(b) 3 knights fees were held by Henry le Waleys in 1242, and the land can be identified as those in Burghwallis, Skellow, and Sutton in Campsall, Yorks, held by Sir John Depeden in 1401-2. In 1170 Henry is called 'Henry Waleis of Burg', indicating his connection with Burghwallis at this date. The Waleys interest in these lands may have come from the marriage of Henry or his father with a daughter and coheir of one of the Poitevin family, whose ancestor, William, held Burghwallis of the Lacys at the time of Domesday Book. That Burghwallis descended to coheirs is deduced from the fact that Richard le Waleys presented to this living in 1252 with the assent of others, his co-patrons. It has been said that Denis, daughter and coheir of Robert the Poitevin, was mother of Richard le Waleys (d. 1256-72), but this is incorrect; others allege that Denise m. Robert le Waleys (d. circa 1218), but this does not explain the Waleys interest in Burghwallis in the middle of the 12th century.

Note: I have Denis m. to Robert le Waleys, d. c1218.

King of Scotland, Earl of Northumberland (1152-1157)

Born in 1143, William the Lion was the younger brother of Malcolm IV. A year after his accession, he went to Normandy with Henry II and later spent Easter 1170 at Windsor. In 1174, however, he joined Henry II's son in his rebellion against his father, and invaded England. He was captured at Alnwick, Northumberland and brought to Henry II with 'his feet shackled beneath the belly of his horse.' He was then held prisoner first in Yorkshire, later at Northampton and finally in France. He was released by the terms of the Treaty of Falaise of 8 December 1174, having been forced to agree to do homage to Henry II 'for Scotland and for all his other lands', and surrender key Scottish castles such as Edinburgh and Stirling.
As William's feudal lord, Henry now had the right to arrange his marriage, and he gave him Ermengarde de Beaumont, whose father was the son of an illegitimate daughter of Henry I. William eventually recovered Scotland from the English king's feudal overlordship, however, when Henry II was succeeded by Richard I. Richard, determined to raise money for his third Crusade, surrendered his feudal superiority over Scotland for 10,000 merks by the Quitclaim of Canterbury on 5 December 1189 and Scotland was an independent country once more. In 1196-7, William established his sovereignty in Caithness.

Under William, the development of feudal institutions continued; in part, the Scottish monarchy's government closely resembled England's. William established royal burghs in eastern Scotland up to moray Firth, and extended the use of sheriffs in the same area. Perth and Stirling became major centres of royal administration.
William I was a vigorous royal patron of the Scottish Church - he founded Arbroath Abbey, Angus in or before 1178. In 1182 Pope Lucius III sent him the Golden Rose and in 1188 Pope Clement III took the Scottish Church under his special protection. In 1192, the Pope granted a Bull to William that recognised the separate identity of the Scottish Church (previously the Church in Scotland had been brought under the authority of the Archbishop of York), and its independence of all ecclesiastical authorities apart from Rome. Gervase of Canterbury described William as 'a man of outstanding sanctity ... much preferring to have peace than the sword and to provide for his people by wisdom rather than iron'. William died at Stirling on 4 December 1214, ag-

~1700 Samuel Gorby He married Mary May in Manchester, England or Chester Co, Delaware., ABT. 1724. (1936) Little of definite information can be found concerning Samuel Gorby. Traditions there are in plenty, but so far they seem to be all that can be found.

One story is that Samuel Gorby married Mary May in Manchester, England, and came directly to America, settling in Chester Co, Pennsylvania, where he bought a home, reared a family, and fought for his country whenever his services were needed.

Another story tells of his being kidnaped from his father's castle in England by a stranger who was spending the night at his father's home, and of his being brought to America.

Still another version tells of his running away from his English home when twelve years of age and coming to America, there he was indentured, serving until he was 21 years of age, when he then married Mary May.

But these are all traditions, and it is not known definitely how nor when Samuel Gorby came to this country, nor where he married. But he was born in England about 1700 and married Mary May. Nothing is known of the May family, though there were many Mays in and around Philadelphia in those early days and some in Delaware. Many of the Gorbys lived in Newcastle Co, DE, across from Chester Co, PA, and many of their descendants are still living there.

Chester County and neighboring Pennsylvania counties have been so changed since those early days that so far it has been impossible to find records of births, marriages, deaths, deeds, taxes, or wills, consequently no definite records of Samuel and Mary (May) Gorby have been found.

So far the names of only three children of Samuel and Mary (May) Gorby have been found. There may have been other children, and doubtless were, since the births of the three known sons were so far apart, but no records of them have ever been found. The only solution to this question might be in the will of Samuel Gorby, but so far this will has not been found.

But they were married no later than 1724, for their son Joseph, the eldest of whom we have record, was born not much later than 1725 for his first marriage was in 1745. They must have spent their lives in Chester Co, for there is no record of them among their descendants who went into Delaware and Western Pennsylvania.

Some of the older Gorbys of the fourth and fifth generations told of hearing their Grandfathers say that Samuel was a physician and surgeon and that he served in the Colonial Wars and the Revolution, a part of the time with Washington and with Paine, a part of the time at Valley forge. No record of his services have been found, but these reports came from Samuel's own grandsons and should be authentic. Being quite old at the time of the Revolution, he may have been giving his medical services at Valley Forge when help was sorely needed and not regularly enlisted - just helping the sick and wounded men.

Samuel and Mary (May) Gorby may be buried in Bethel Cemetery, Chester Co, PA, for it is near Joseph's old home and many of the older Gorbys are buried there.

(1978) The account given to Melba Gorby Beard by her father (6th generation - George I Gorby, son of Jesse, son of William), was that "two brothers came to America from England at a young age". While searching through books on trans-Atlantic ships bringing immigrants from European shores in the early 1700's, one ship had the name "Two Brothers", though that particular book, covering limited dates, listed no passenger named Gorby. He also said that another version was "the first Gorby came from England as a youth, having been captured and forced onto the ship".

As to the adult Samuel, he said that "Samuel tended to the sick and wounded during the Revolution as a doctor". So far no record of this has been found (officer or civilian). Civilians often assisted troops in their area, in many ways; and the places where the earliest Gorbys lived were, the very SE corner of Pennsylvania, and the northern curve of Delaware (Valley Forge and Brandywine).

Epaignes: Eure, arr. Pont-Audemer, cant. Cormeilles. (ie. Epaignes, Eure, Normandy)

In 1086 Alvredus de Hispania or Hispaniensis was tenant-in-chief in Herefordshire, Dorset, and other counties. Epaignes, occuring in the twelfth century and later as Hispania and Yspania, 5 1/2 kil. NE of Cormeilles, held by William FitzOsbern who founded the abbey there. . . . As Alveredus de Hispania he gave two thirds of the tithe of his manor called 'Forneguerde quod situm est juxta Guartiam in territorio comitatus Dorsaetai' to St. Stephen's, Caen, for the health of king William his lord and of the souls of his parents, a witness being 'filius Golberti de Ponte Aldomari'. Pont-Audemer is only 9 kil. N of Epaignes. 'Forneguerde' seems to be a scribal corruption of 'Torneworde', ie. Trunworth, Dorset, which was held by Alvred in chief in 1086.

Harleian MSS of the Knights of Edward I listed him as Sir John Shelton who was serving for Robert de Shelton (probably his brother) on 6 July 1277. Summoned from Norfolk and Suffolk to serve against the Scots 24 June 1301. He was pardoned for the death of a man in 10 Nov 1303 owing to his service in Scotland (the letter patent issue from Dunfermline reads "Pardon in consideration of service in Scotland to John de Shelton for the death of Robert le Yongebonde of Shelton")

In addition to your findings re: the IPM for Robert de Shelton, Pam Shelton Anderson provided the following on her FamilyTreeMaker site [renumbered by me for our purposes], based in large part on Blomefield and Copinger :
.1. Henry de Shelton ' born c. 1225, and died 1286.

'This individual is indicated to be Henry by Blomefield and the NRS......
Blomefield says that Henry held the manor of Shelton co Norfolk of the fee of Arundel as well as Burnt Illegh co Suffolk, Scole co Norfolk and Bedingham co Norfolk. He died before 1286 leaving Robert (later Sir Robert) as his son and heir. Blomefield also says (v 1, p 131) that Henry held Scole in 1270 and his son and heir inherited it (with others) in 1286.
' Copinger listed this son of Ralph Shelton and Catherine de Illegh as named "Henry".
' Henry is listed by Copinger and Blomefield as lord after Ralf Shelton.
' The Charter Rolls lists a 1260 grant to Henry de Schelton and his heirs a weekly market on Thursday at his manor of Burnt Illegh co Suffolk and a yearly fair there on the vigil, feast and morrow of Ascension.'

Chamberlain
Sheriff of Berkshire

In 1086 Aubrey de Ver, the ancestor of the Earls of Oxford, in addtion to his tenancies-in-chief in several counties, was an under-tenant of Geoffrey bishop of Coutances in Kensington, Middlesex, and two places in Northamptonshire. This indicates that his place of origin was Ver (as indicated), which is 18 kil. South of Coutances and not Ver in the Bessin. [Origins of Some Anglo-Norman Families]

Alberic/Aubrey de Ver (a place in the Cotentin Peninsula, Normandy), probably himself a Norman; b. by 1040; by the Domesday Survey held numerous manors, chiefly in Cambs, Essex, and Suffolk--Hedingham, Essex being the chief one, but also in Hunts, Middx (including Cheniston, now Kensington) and Northants; references to him as Chamberlain occur c1110; founded Earl's Colne Priory, Essex, where he and many of his descendants are burried; Sheriff Berks by 1106; married Beatrice and died probably 1112.

It does not appear that she [Eleanor de Vitre] had children by this last marriage; but Gilbert's son by a former wife, Thomas Malesmains, married one of her daughters by her second husband, Joanna de Tillieres. With her "he is recorded to have had, of the gift of King John, Hadlegh in Surrey, which same vill is entered as _terra Thome Mlilesmains_, in the _Rotulus de valore terrorum Normanoruln inceptis a regni Regis Johannis sexto_.* At the date of this seizure by the King of the lands of the Normans in England, Malesmains was absent in the Holy Land, having had leave, in contemplation of the journey, to mortgage his lands for two years. Upon his return he embraced the side of King John, and in 1206 obtained his precept to have such seizin of his land as he had on the day he took his journey. In 1209 he accompanied William Earl of Salisbury, the King's brother and the husband of Ela, his wife's half sister, into Germany on the King's service, and subsequently in the wars of the Barons we find him firmly adhering to the Royal party. By his Letters Patent, given at Corfe in 1216, King John makes known that he has retained in his service Thomas Malesmains, and that he will reckon him as one of his bachelors, and restores to him his rights, viz. "the land which Fulk de Cantelupe holds in Burton " (Northants), "and the land which Ralph Gernon holds in Cumtum" (Compton, in Berkshire).-Ibid.

Note: The only place that is close to "Hadlegh" in Surrey is Headley. There is a Hadleigh in Essex and in Suffolk.

    Dear Rosie,

    Thanks for your message.

    Yes, I find Yeatman difficult to follow (overworked pronouns) and he makes same silly mistakes. The 23 page preface to the Betchworth book is nothing more than a diatribe against his former printers.

    DUCHESS OF CLEVELAND's "Battle Abbey Roll", 1889, Vol ii pp 246-8:

    Malemaine: evil-handed; a redoubtable nickname, akin to the talons of the ferocious Malegriffe (John Malegreffe, 9 Ed. II., held North Okendon, in Essex): and boding no good to the peace of the neighbourhood. This family became powerful in East Kent; and their allusive coat, Ermine on a chief gules, three sinister hands coupled at the wrist Argent, is several times carved on the roof of the cloisters of Canterbury Cathedral. Le Malesmains, or Maliis Manibus, occurs more than once in the Norman Exchequer Rolls of 1180-95; and a Sieur de Mallemains, bearing the same three silver hands in their scarlet field, was to be found in Normandy during the present century. (Nobiliaire de Normandie.)

    In England the name has long since perished, and is only retained by some of their former possessions; Alkham Malemains, Pluckley Malmains, Stoke Malmains, and Waldershare-Malmains, in Kent. It is not written in Domesday; but Hasted retails a family tradition-for which no authority is given, nor probably could be furnished-that "John de Malmains was standard-bearer to the Norman foot soldiers at the battle of Hastings."

    Their principal seat, Waldershare, was originally held of the Mamimots, and then of their descendants the Sayes; and their ancient manor house, Malmains Hall-the name has in course of time degenerated to Maaman's Hall-is now one of Lord Guilford's farmhouses. "Near it an open unenclosed down is called Maimage Down, corruptly for Malmains Down."-Hasted. They were, he tells us, "of eminent account in those parts." Gilbert Malesmains, in the latter years of the 12th century, married the widowed Countess of Salisbury, Alianor de Vitre." She married, first William Paynell (obt. 1184), by whom she had a son who died young; secondly Gilbert de Tillieres (obt. 1190), by whom she had a son, Gilbert, under age at his father's death, and two daughters, Juliana and Joanna ; and thirdly William Fitz Patric Earl of Salisbury (obt. 1196), by whom she had a daughter Ela, Countess of Salisbury in her own right. A fourth husband, Gilbert Malesmains, in 1198 held Cooling in right of his wife, together with the lands in England of her dower, viz. Westcote in Surrey, Kingsbury and Edgeware, Middlesex, Wooton, in Oxon, and Gatesden in Herts, and held them to the year of the conquest of Normandy by Philip Augustus, when they were in the King's hands as an escheat of the land of the Normans."- _T Stapleton._

    It does not appear that she had children by this last marriage; but Gilbert's son by a former wife, Thomas Malesmains, married one of her daughters by her second husband, Joanna de Tillieres.

This was one of the great houses of Normandy, the Avenels being the hereditary

was a very powerful one, commanding the country round Mortain, but its
importance lessened gradually as time wore on. Harold Avenel was a companion
of Duke Rollo, and the first of the family to settle in Normandy. His
descendant was Herve Avenal, baron of Biards, c. 1035. [Falaise Roll, p. 5]

LORD OF BELVOIR

JUSTICIAR

At the Battle of Tinchebray in Normandy 1106, William D'Aubigny, commanding the horse, led a gallant charge that changed the course of the battle. He became a favorite of King Henry I.

He took the name D'Aubigny from his place of birth in Aubigny, France.The name
was latinized into De Albinio and better known in England as De Albini. Other
variations include d'Albini, Daubeny, Daubeney, Daubney, Dabney, Daubigny,
Dawbeney, Dawbeny etc.

A Justiciar was a prominent position similar to a viceroy. William, loyal to Henry I's wishes, sided with the Empress Matilda in the wars with King Stephen. He lived to see the accession of Henry II.

BELVOIR CASTLE (pronounced "Beever") means "beautiful view." It was begun by Robert de Todeni, standard bearer of William the Conqueror. His descendants were the d'Albinis (or d'Aubignys). The de Ros family held the castle until 1464 when Thomas de Ros was executed as a Lancastrian in the Wars of the Roses. The Earls of Rutland eventually gained possession of the Castle and restored it to its wonderful present condition. The Duke and Duchess of Rutland reside there to this day.

WARNING: There is considerable confusion about the Albinis at this point in the genealogy and particulary about William Brito who some show as a son of Main D'Aubigny and Adeliza de Bohun. In any case, there are two major branches of the family, the one at Belvoir and the one from which the Earls of Arundel descended.

Gen. Douglas MacArthur is a descendant.

    Alaric II (died 507), king of the Visigoths (484-507), succeeding his father, Euric. He ruled the central and southern regions of Gaul (modern-day France) and most of Spain. Like most Visigoths, Alaric adhered to Arianism; this gave the Frankish king Clovis I, an orthodox Christian, an excuse for making war on him. Alaric's forces were completely routed at Vouillé, near Poitiers (in present-day France), and he himself was overtaken and slain by Clovis. This defeat brought to an end the rule of the Visigoths in Gaul. Alaric is also known for the Breviary of Alaric, an abstract of Roman laws and decrees prepared at his direction for use in his domains. This document is a primary source of knowledge about the application of Roman law in nations formed from the disintegrated Roman Empire.

    Regarding the state of the Empire:

    The most notable of the Spanish Visigothic kings was Euric, who reigned [lived] from about 420 to 484 (actually only reigned from 466 - 484). He was a son of Theodoric I. Under Euric, who declared his rule to be independent of any federation with Rome, the kingdom of Toulouse included almost all of Spain and most of Gaul west of the Rhône River and south of the Loire River. Euric introduced many aspects of Roman civilization and drew up a code of law combining Roman and German elements. The kingdom was, however, continually beset by both internal and external difficulties. The kingship was nominally elective, and the powerful Visigothic nobles stood against attempts to found a hereditary royal house. Externally, the Byzantine Empire and the Franks menaced the Visigothic lands. In order to instill greater loyalty in his rebellious Roman and Christian subjects, Alaric II in 506 introduced the collection of laws known as the Breviary of Alaric. A year later, Clovis I, king of the Franks, defeated the Visigoths at the Battle of Vouillé, in which Alaric II was killed.

    Breviary of Alaric, also known as Lex Romana Visigothorum (Roman Law of the Visigoths), important collection of Roman laws compiled under Alaric II, king of the Visigoths. Issued in AD506 at Toulouse (now in France), the code was designed for Alaric's Roman subjects and was almost exclusively Roman in character. It was derived from the Code and Novels of the Roman emperor Theodosius II (AD401-50), the Institutes of the Roman jurist Gaius (circa AD110-80), and other authorities.

Sex: M
Birth: ABT 670 in Southern Picts
Death: Deceased
Note:
The origins of the Picts are clouded with many fables, legends and fabrications, and there are as many theories as to who the Picts were (Celtic, Basque, Scythians, etc.), where they came from, what they ate or drank, and what language they spoke, as there once were Pictish raiders defying the mighty legions of Rome. Legend tells us that Rome's mighty Ninth Legion, the famous "Hispana" legion, which had earned its battle honors in Iberia, conquering Celtic Spain for Caesar is never heard of again when faced against the Picts (they actually surfaced years later in Israel). We do know that the Picts may have spoken a non-Celtic language, (although many Celtophiles feel the Picts spoke a Brythonic-Gaulish form of Celtic language) as St. Columba's biographer clearly stated that the Irish saint needed a translator to preach to the Pictish King Brude, son of Maelchon, at Brude's court near the shores of Loch Ness. At other times the Pictish king lived at Scone, and we know there often were two separate Pictish kingdoms of Northern and Southern Picts. We know that they were mighty sailors, for the Romans feared the Pictish Navy almost as much as the wild men who came down from the Highlands to attack the villages along the wall. We also know that as far as the 9th century they wrote in stone a language which was not far in design from the Celtic "Ogham" script but was not Celtic in context. By the legacy of their standing stones, we know that they were great artists as well. It is also well known that the Picts were one of Western culture's rare matrilinear societies; that is, bloodlines passed through the mother, and Pictish kings were not succeeded by their sons, but by their brothers or nephews or cousins as traced by the female line in (according to the scholar Dr. Anthony Jackson) a complicated series of intermarriages by seven royal houses.

The Celts arrived in Britain around 500 B.C. A nomadic people whose culture spread from Eastern Europe to Iberia, they were sometimes described as as fair headed, tall, fierce warriors by the Greeks (Since many Celts dyed their hair with lye, some historians believe that this is what the Greeks meant by fair-headed) althought the Britannic Celts encountered by the Romans were usually described as dark haired and short. As a warrior culture, it was a Celtic army which nearly destroyed Rome in her early days and thus forever made themselves an unforgivable enemy of the Latin empire. Because the first historical reference to the Picts appears in 297 A.D., when they are mentioned as enemies of Rome in the same context as the Hiberni (Irish), Scotii (Scots) and Saxones (Saxons), many historians assume that the Picts were simply another Celtic tribe. Although is quite probable that there was much Celtic stock in some of the southern tribes in the loose federation of tribes which eventually made up the Pictish nation, it is my opinion that the vast majority of the Pictish peoples north of the Forth were made up mostly from the earlier, pre-Celtic people of northern Britain. Some historians use Ireland as an example, and Michael Lynch eloquently states that "Whatever the Picts were, they are likely, as were other peoples either in post-Roman western Europe or in contemporary Ireland, to have been an amalgalm of tribes, headed by a warrior aristocracy which was by nature mobile. Their culture was the culture of the warrior... ." More on this later.

The bottom line is that so little is known, that most Pictophiles need to make huge leaps and prodigious interpretations of the "facts" to state their views. The explanations migrate to this core of "facts" in a futile effort to explain this mysterious people.
The Romans came to Scotland, often defeated the Picts in battle, but they never conquered them or the land on which they lived. By the third century A.D. the Roman general Agricola sl

(Born c.AD 870)
(Latin: Theodorus; English: Theodore)

Tewdr Brycheiniog was grandson of King Elisedd. He lived in the early 10th century at a time when Brycheiniog appears to have lost some of its independence to the domineering Kingdom of Deheubarth, under Hywel Dda. He held court in the middle of Llyn Syfaddan (Llangorse Lake) on the only known crannog (artificial island dwelling) to have been discovered in Wales. It was a short lived Royal Residence, being established around 900, yet destroyed by raiding Englishmen sixteen years later. They forced their way into the Royal presence and made of with both the Queen of Brycheiniog and thirty-three of her courtiers. Tewdr's name appears as a signatory on English Land Charters from King Athelstan's reign (934).

Elisedd was the son of King Tewdr of Brycheiniog, great grandson of the King of the same name who ruled in the mid-8th century. He is remembered as one of the Kings in South Wales who were so hounded by King Anarawd of Gwynedd and the sons of Rhodri Mawr (the Great) in the 880s, that they were forced to submit to the overlordship of King Alfred the Great of England in order to secure their safety.

The earliest mention of Fergus is on 7 July 1136 as a witness to a charter of King David I. His origins are unknown. His descendants, the Lords of Galloway, used as their coat of arms Azure a lion rampant Argent, to which King Henry added a crown. These arms suggest that Fergus was paternally descended from the Cinel Comgall in Cowal and its islands, one of the four principal families of the Dal Riata and the one to which King Kenneth macAlpin belonged.

# Note: Ashurbanipal, or Assurbanipal, (reigned 668 - 627 BCE, was the last great king of ancient Ass yria.   He assembled at Ninevah "the first systematically collected library." A library, in O ppenheim's view, apparently, was distinct from an archive: earlier repositories of document s had accumulated passively, in the course of administrative routine. Tablet s from the libra ry of Ninevah preserve the most complete source for the Sumerian/Babylonian Epic of Gilgamesh . Other sets of tablets offer what is essentially a Sumerian dictionary. There are arcane as tronomical/astrological texts. By far the largest group of tablets (almost all of which are i n the British Museum, London) however, are 'omen' texts that taught the scribes how to recogn ize the significance of portents.   Ashurbanipal's reign was marked by incessant warfare.

    Eleanor or Ellen, received the manor of Bingley, Yorkshire as maritagium. [Ancestral Roots]

    ---------------------------------------------------------------------
    Ancestral Roots and Magna Charta Sureties both have Ellen as daughter of Eudo la Zouche and Milicent de Cantelou. Some people on World Connect have Ellen as daughter of Milicent's 1st husband, John de Mohaut. In researching the situation I came up with the following:

    While MCS names her straight out as "Ellen la Zouche" and doesn't even mention John de Mohaut as 1st husband of her mother, Ancestral Roots (in line 38, which is the la Zouche line) lists her as the next generation after Eudo la Zouche (noting that Milicent de Cantelou had married John de Mohaut first), but just names her "Eleanor or Ellen" without a surname (While they almost always give a surname! Is AR hedging its bets?). AR gives as supporting evidence the following: "(Feudal Aids 6:21,23 refers to 'Elienora de Zuche' as holding the manor of Bingley of her mother 'Milisenta de Monte Alto' in 1284-5; Rev. C Moor, Knights of Edward I 2:183-184)." That quote leads me to think that Ellen was a daughter of Milicent and John de Monte Alto / Mohaut / Montalt /Montault and was "adopted" by 2nd husband Eudo la Zouche.

    Certainly if Ellen held Bingley in 1284-5, she was probably of age (her mother did not die until 1298/99), which means she could have been born before 1264, which would certainly make her a child of John & Milicent. With that early of a birth for Ellen, the birth date of Milicent might have to be adjusted to a bit earlier date as well.

Since Calydon was the founder of the town of Calydon, Aeolia can by considered the mother of the Calydonian dynasty. [Apollodorus 1.7.7.]

DORIPPE (1) was the mother of Melampus. Him mother, however, is more often called Eidomene. [Dieuchidas, quoted by the scholiast on Apollonius Rhodius 1.121.]

EIDOMENE, or Idomene, was a daughter of Pheres, son of Cretheus and Tyro, and Periclymene. Her brothers were Admetus and Lycurgus, and her sister was Periapis. Pheres founded the town of Pherae in Thessaly. In one place Eidomene was referred to as the daughter of Abas.

Cretheus AEOLIA was the daughter of Amythaon, son of Cretheus and Tyro, and sister of Bias and Melampus. Their mother was Eidomene; she was also their first cousin, since Amythaon married his brother's daughter. Aeolia married Calydon, by whom she became the mother of Epicaste and Protogeneia. Since Calydon was the founder of the town of Calydon, Aeolia can by considered the mother of the Calydonian dynasty. [Apollodorus 1.7.7.]

CALYCE was a daughter of Aeolus and Enarete. Her family tree produced some of the greatest heroes and heroines in mythology, since her brothers were Cretheus, Sisyphus, Athamas, Salmoneus, Deion, Magnes, Perieres, and Macareus. She did well in her own right. She married Aethlius, son of Zeus and Protogeneia and grandson of Deucalion. By him she became the mother of the famous Endymion, who was not only the lover of the moon goddess Selene but also king of Elis and ancestor of the Aetolians, Epeians, and Paeonians. By report, she had 50 half-immortal granddaughters by the union of Selene with her sleeping son, but this phenomenon is discussed elsewhere. [Apollodorus 1.7.2,3.5; Pausanias 5.1.2,8.1, 10.31.2.]

EIDOMENE, or Idomene, was a daughter of Pheres, son of Cretheus and Tyro, and Periclymene. Her brothers were Admetus and Lycurgus, and her sister was Periapis. Pheres founded the town of Pherae in Thessaly. In one place Eidomene was referred to as the daughter of Abas.

MEROPE was one of the Pleiades. In the constellation of the Pleiades she is the seventh and least visible star because she was ashamed of having had intercourse with a mortal man. This mortal was Sisyphus, and Merope should have been ashamed not so much that he was mortal but because of the type of mortal he was. He was the son of Aeolus and Enarete, and brother of Cretheus, Athamas, Salmoneus, Deion, Magnes, Perieres, and Macareus. He eventually reigned in Corinth, since Medea gave him the sovereignty when she left. He promoted commerce and helped make the city important. He was of bad character however, as Merope was soon to discover. She bore him Glaucus, Ornytion, Thersander, and Halmus. Sisyphus meanwhile had twin sons by his niece Tyro, but she killed them at their birth. Of Merope's sons we know Glaucus best, not only as the father of Bellerophon but also as the breeder of flesh-eating mares. When Sisyphus was on his deathbed, he begged Merope not to bury him. She complied, and when he got to the underworld he complained that he was neglected and needed to return to the upper world to punish his wife. Once there he refused to return, and Hermes, transporter of the dead, had to carry him back by force.

He eventually reigned in Corinth, since Medea gave him the sovereignty when she left. He promoted commerce and helped make the city important. He was of bad character however, as Merope was soon to discover. She bore him Glaucus, Ornytion, Thersander, and Halmus. Sisyphus meanwhile had twin sons by his niece Tyro, but she killed them at their birth. Of Merope's sons we know Glaucus best, not only as the father of Bellerophon but also as the breeder of flesh-eating mares. When Sisyphus was on his deathbed, he begged Merope not to bury him. She complied, and when he got to the underworld he complained that he was neglected and needed to return to the upper world to punish his wife. Once there he refused to return, and Hermes, transporter of the dead, had to carry him back by force. [Apollodorus 1.9.3,3.10.1; Ovid, Fasti 4.175; Homer, Iliad 6.153; Eustathius on Homer's Iliad 1155; Pausanias 2.4.3, 6.20.9, 9.34.5; Hyginus, Fables 60.]
Aeolus AEGIALE (2) was the mother of Alcyone by Aeolus, according to some, although Alcyone's mother is usually given as Enarete.

AEOLIS is the patronymic designating the female descendants of Aeolus. Canace and Alcyone, his daughters, were sometimes referred to by this name. [Ovid, Metamorphoses 11.573, Heroides 11.5.]

CALYCE was a daughter of Aeolus and Enarete. Her family tree produced some of the greatest heroes and heroines in mythology, since her brothers were Cretheus, Sisyphus, Athamas, Salmoneus, Deion, Magnes, Perieres, and Macareus. She did well in her own right. She married Aethlius, son of Zeus and Protogeneia and grandson of Deucalion. By him she became the mother of the famous Endymion, who was not only the lover of the moon goddess Selene but also king of Elis and ancestor of the Aetolians, Epeians, and Paeonians. By report, she had 50 half-immortal granddaughters by the union of Selene with her sleeping son, but this phenomenon is discussed elsewhere. [Apollodorus 1.7.2,3.5; Pausanias 5.1.2,8.1, 10.31.2.]

MEROPE was one of the Pleiades. In the constellation of the Pleiades she is the seventh and least visible star because she was ashamed of having had intercourse with a mortal man. This mortal was Sisyphus, and Merope should have been ashamed not so much that he was mortal but because of the type of mortal he was.

CLYMENE was one of the Oceanides, a daughter of Oceanus and Tethys. By her uncle Iapetus she was the mother of Atlas, Prometheus, Menoetius, and Epimetheus. Iapetus was regarded as the ancestor of the human race, although it was his son Prometheus who fashioned men out of clay. It is to be expected that there was confusion in the genealogies of the beings involved in setting up the world. Clymene was also called the mother by Prometheus of Hellen and Deucalion. This mother/son liason would not be particularly usual in the confusing descent of the gods, but Prometheus' wife was usually called Celaeno. Somewhere along the way, probably after the confinement of Iapetus in Tartarus with other Titans, Clymene married Merops, a king of the Ethiopians. Clymene was unfaithful to him and gave herself to her cousin (and brother-in-law) Helios, the sun. By him she had the Heliades and Phaethon.
Clymene's children were pivotal in the contest of the gods against the Titans and in the development of the human race. Atlas and Menoetius were both punished for their roles in the conflict with the Olympians. Atlas was condemned to bear the heavens on his head and shoulders, but not before he became father of the Pleiades, the Hyades, the Hesperides, and other beings. Menoetius was struck by Zeus with a thunderbolt and thrown into Tartarus. Prometheus and Epimetheus were the parents of Deucalion and Pyrrha, respectively, and these offspring were responsible for repopulating the earth after the great flood. For going contrary to the will of Zeus in regard to the human race, Prometheus was punished atop Mount Caucasus by having his liver pecked out daily by an eagle and having it restored each successive day. Pandora, the wife of Epimetheus, let loose all the troubles of the world by opening a forbidden chest. Phaethon, the son of Clymene and Helios, almost caused the destruction of the world. He begged his father to let him drive the chariot of the sun across heaven. He proved too weak to handle the dazzling horses, and the chariot fell toward the earth. Zeus struck him from the chariot, and he plummeted to earth. Helios recovered the reins in time to keep the earth from burning to a cinder. Phaethon's mother was also called Merope, Prote, or Rhode. [Hesiod, Theogony 351,507; Hyginus, Fables 156; Apollodorus 1.2.3; Ovid, Metamorphoses 1.763, Tristia 3.4.30.]

PANDORA over the centuries has become a kind of equivalent of Eve, the first created woman. Much blame was assigned to both because of a foolish mistake (provided we remove the element of destiny). Pandora, whose name literally meant All Gifts, came into being when Zeus had her created by the master artisan Hephaestus to punish Prometheus for stealing fire from heaven. Right there we have an anomaly, since the theft of fire presupposed an already existing population of the earth. But perhaps only males existed at that point, and Zeus had other ideas for propagation. It is interesting that he saw the creation of a woman as a punishment. Whatever the reason, Pandora was created as the first woman, and all the gods came forward to endow her with gifts. Aphrodite gave her beauty, Hermes gave her cunning, and other gods and goddesses gave her various powers that Zeus had calculated to bring about the ruin of man. Finally he had Hermes deliver her to Epimetheus, the not-so-bright brother of Prometheus. Epimetheus was utterly charmed by this marvelous creation, although he had been warned by Prometheus never to accept a gift from Zeus. He forgot his promise to his brother to think before acting, because Aphrodite's gift had certainly included the ability of Pandora to give her husband ultimate sexual pleasure. Life was happy for Pandora and especially so for Epimetheus. But already destiny was at work. In the house was a covered earthen vessel (or box or chest) that either had been placed in the safekeeping of Epimetheus or given to Pandora along with other gifts. In either case it was forbidden to open it. But its unknown contents plagued Pandora (she had been given curiosity along with everything else). One day while Epimetheus was away, she could stand the temptation no longer and peeked into the vessel. She found out soon enough why she should not have opened the pot, for out swarmed all the calamities of mankind--from tidal waves to premature balding. It was too late to stop them as they spread out through the window and across the world. Pandora dropped the lid back in time to prevent the excape of the final occupant of the vessel. This was Elpis, and no matter how bad things became for people then and in the future, there was always hope. Pandora became the mother of Pyrrha by Epimetheus. Pyrrha married Deucalion, son of Prometheus, and these two people repopulated the earth when Zeus, finally disgusted with man, sent a flood to wipe out the human race. There is no record of Pandora's final history. It is not really certain whether or not she was considered immortal. In later writings she became associated with infernal divinities such as Hecate, Persephone, and the Erinyes.
In one or two versions of the allegory, Pandora brought the fatal vessel Epimetheus and, using her newly fashioned wiles, prevaied upon him to open it. It is interesting to observe the parallel of this story to that of Eve in the garden of Eden urging Adam to taste the forbidden apple. Some said the vessel contained only benefits for mankind, but these were allowed to escape. In any case, the result was intended to be the same. The birth of Pandora was represented on the pedestal of the statue of Athena in the Parthenon. [Hesiod, Theogony 571, Works and Days 30,50,96; Hyginus, Fables 142; Apollodorus 1.7.2; Ovid, Metamorphoses 1.350; Orphica, Argonautica 974.]

Prometheus [FAMILY.FTW]

ANCHIALE was a daughter of Iapetus and mother of Cydnus, who was believed to have founded the town of Anchiale on the Cydnus River in Cilicia. This is the only reference to this Anchiale in mythology, although as a daughter of Iapetus she was a sister of Prometheus, Epimetheus, Menoetius, and Atlas. She has the distinction of being the mother of a river-god, for these marine divinities were almost always the offspring of Oceanus and Tethys. There is nothing to say she could not have been the mother of a river by her uncle Oceanus. Her son, half-man, half-river in form, was loved by a maiden called Comaetho. One of their sons, Parthenius, gave the surname Parthenia to the city of Tarsus, which lay on the Cydnus River [Stephanus Byzantium, "Anchiale";Nonnos, Dionysiaca 40.143.]



ASIA, one of the Oceanides, was called by some the mother of Atlas, Prometheus, Epimetheus, and Menoetius by Iapetus. Most sources call the wife of Iapetus CLYMENE. According to some, she gave her name to the continent of Asia. [Hesiod, Theogony 359; Apollodorus 1.2.2; Herodotus 4.45.]

CELAENO was one of the Pleiades. By Poseidon she was the mother of Lycus and Eurypylus. According to some, she was mother of Lycus and Chimaereus by Prometheus, who was considered to be her husband. Others call her also mother of Triton, but that distinction is usually Amphitrite's. Nothing is known of Lycus except that he was transferred by his father to the Isles of the Blessed. Eurypylus was among the heroes of Hyria. He went to Cyrene in Libya, where he became connected with the Argonauts. It was he who gave Euphemus a clod of earth when the Argonauts passed through Lake Tritonis. Possession of this clod later established the right to rule over Libya. Eurypylus was married to Sterope, the daughter of Helios, by whom he became the father of Lycaon and Leucippus. [Apollodorus 3.10.1; Ovid, Heroides 19.135; Scholiast on Apollonius Rhodius 4.1561; Tzetzes on Lycophron 132,902.]

PLEIONE was one of the Oceanides and mother of the Pleiades by Atlas. Atlas was the son of Iapetus and Clymene, and leader of the Titans in the war against Zeus and the Olympians. He was condemned to bear the heavens on his head and shoulders. Pleione had to share him with Aethra, who according to some, became the mother of the Hyades and Hesperides by him. He had children by other women as well. The Pleiades mated with gods for the most part, but interestingly only one of Pleione's grandchildren--Hermes--was one of the immortal Olympian gods. An interesting question might be why he was different, since Zeus, his father, had sons by two of the other Pleiades.

This mother/son liason would not be particularly usual in the confusing descent of the gods, but Prometheus' wife was usually called Celaeno. Somewhere along the way, probably after the confinement of Iapetus in Tartarus with other Titans, Clymene married Merops, a king of the Ethiopians. Clymene was unfaithful to him and gave herself to her cousin (and brother-in-law) Helios, the sun. By him she had the Heliades and Phaethon.
Clymene's children were pivotal in the contest of the gods against the Titans and in the development of the human race. Atlas and Menoetius were both punished for their roles in the conflict with the Olympians. Atlas was condemned to bear the heavens on his head and shoulders, but not before he became father of the Pleiades, the Hyades, the Hesperides, and other beings. Menoetius was struck by Zeus with a thunderbolt and thrown into Tartarus. Prometheus and Epimetheus were the parents of Deucalion and Pyrrha, respectively, and these offspring were responsible for repopulating the earth after the great flood. For going contrary to the will of Zeus in regard to the human race, Prometheus was punished atop Mount Caucasus by having his liver pecked out daily by an eagle and having it restored each successive day. Pandora, the wife of Epimetheus, let loose all the troubles of the world by opening a forbidden chest. Phaethon, the son of Clymene and Helios, almost caused the destruction of the world. He begged his father to let him drive the chariot of the sun across heaven. He proved too weak to handle the dazzling horses, and the chariot fell toward the earth. Zeus struck him from the chariot, and he plummeted to earth. Helios recovered the reins in time to keep the earth from burning to a cinder. Phaethon's mother was also called Merope, Prote, or Rhode. [Hesiod, Theogony 351,507; Hyginus, Fables 156; Apollodorus 1.2.3; Ovid, Metamorphoses 1.763, Tristia 3.4.30.]

PLEIONE was one of the Oceanides and mother of the Pleiades by Atlas. Atlas was the son of Iapetus and Clymene, and leader of the Titans in the war against Zeus and the Olympians. He was condemned to bear the heavens on his head and shoulders. Pleione had to share him with Aethra, who according to some, became the mother of the Hyades and Hesperides by him. He had children by other women as well. The Pleiades mated with gods for the most part, but interestingly only one of Pleione's grandchildren--Hermes--was one of the immortal Olympian gods. An interesting question might be why he was different, since Zeus, his father, had sons by two of the other Pleiades.

Asia [FAMILY.FTW]

ASIA, one of the Oceanides, was called by some the mother of Atlas, Prometheus, Epimetheus, and Menoetius by Iapetus. Most sources call the wife of Iapetus CLYMENE. According to some, she gave her name to the continent of Asia. [Hesiod, Theogony 359; Apollodorus 1.2.2; Herodotus 4.45.]
Chaos [FAMILY.FTW]

ACHLYS was the eternal night, said to have been the first being, even preexisting Chaos. Hesiod (Shield of Heracles 264), however, called her the personification of misery and sadness, and as such she was represented on the shield of Heracles. She was pale and emaciated, and her teeth constantly chattered while she wept. She had long fingernails, swollen knee-joints, bloody cheeks, and dust-covered shoulders. It is interesting that deep space and misery were thus equated, and that both were conceived as female.

"And beside them [the Keres and the Moirai] was standing Akhlys, dismal and dejected, green and pale, dirty-dry, fallen in on herself with hunger, knee-swollen, and the nails were grown long on her hands, and from her nostrils the drip kept running, and off her cheeks the blood dribbled to the ground, and she stood there, grinning forever, and the dust that had gathered and lay in heaps on her shoulders was muddy with tears." -Shield of Heracles 264-271

Achlys
She was the personification of Eternal Night, what was believed to have presaged Chaos. There was another who personified Misery, and Hesiod described her in the Shield of Heracles: "And beside them [the Keres and the Moirai] was standing Akhlys, dismal and dejected, green and pale, dirty-dry, fallen in on herself with hunger, knee-swollen, and the nails were grown long on her hands, and from her nostrils the drip kept running, and off her cheeks the blood dribbled to the ground, and she stood there, grinning forever, and the dust that had gathered and lay in heaps on her shoulders was muddy with tears." How pleasant.

Achlys
The Greek mother who was the first to exist, gave birth to Chaos.

In the beginning there was The One, Logos, the Will. In his mothers womb Logos floated, blind and alone, feeling and Knowing nothing.

In his utter Loneliness The One, shouted into the Void that was the womb. His mother, Sophia also Known as Achlys, ripped open and screamed in pain, her pains caused Vibrations that tore The One in twain. The Demiurge and his Dark Shadow Astaroth were born, neither being good nor evil, but a mirror of the other... now at a complete loss, for they had lost that which had made them whole

Themis Celaeno [FAMILY.FTW]

CELAENO was one of the Pleiades. By Poseidon she was the mother of Lycus and Eurypylus. According to some, she was mother of Lycus and Chimaereus by Prometheus, who was considered to be her husband. Others call her also mother of Triton, but that distinction is usually Amphitrite's. Nothing is known of Lycus except that he was transferred by his father to the Isles of the Blessed. Eurypylus was among the heroes of Hyria. He went to Cyrene in Libya, where he became connected with the Argonauts. It was he who gave Euphemus a clod of earth when the Argonauts passed through Lake Tritonis. Possession of this clod later established the right to rule over Libya. Eurypylus was married to Sterope, the daughter of Helios, by whom he became the father of Lycaon and Leucippus. [Apollodorus 3.10.1; Ovid, Heroides 19.135; Scholiast on Apollonius Rhodius 4.1561; Tzetzes on Lycophron 132,902.]


CLYMENE was one of the Oceanides, a daughter of Oceanus and Tethys. By her uncle Iapetus she was the mother of Atlas, Prometheus, Menoetius, and Epimetheus.

ANCHIALE was a daughter of Iapetus and mother of Cydnus, who was believed to have founded the town of Anchiale on the Cydnus River in Cilicia. This is the only reference to this Anchiale in mythology, although as a daughter of Iapetus she was a sister of Prometheus, Epimetheus, Menoetius, and Atlas. She has the distinction of being the mother of a river-god, for these marine divinities were almost always the offspring of Oceanus and Tethys. There is nothing to say she could not have been the mother of a river by her uncle Oceanus. Her son, half-man, half-river in form, was loved by a maiden called Comaetho. One of their sons, Parthenius, gave the surname Parthenia to the city of Tarsus, which lay on the Cydnus River [Stephanus Byzantium, "Anchiale";Nonnos, Dionysiaca 40.143.]

PANDORA over the centuries has become a kind of equivalent of Eve, the first created woman. Much blame was assigned to both because of a foolish mistake (provided we remove the element of destiny). Pandora, whose name literally meant All Gifts, came into being when Zeus had her created by the master artisan Hephaestus to punish Prometheus for stealing fire from heaven. Right there we have an anomaly, since the theft of fire presupposed an already existing population of the earth. But perhaps only males existed at that point, and Zeus had other ideas for propagation. It is interesting that he saw the creation of a woman as a punishment. Whatever the reason, Pandora was created as the first woman, and all the gods came forward to endow her with gifts. Aphrodite gave her beauty, Hermes gave her cunning, and other gods and goddesses gave her various powers that Zeus had calculated to bring about the ruin of man. Finally he had Hermes deliver her to Epimetheus, the not-so-bright brother of Prometheus. Epimetheus was utterly charmed by this marvelous creation, although he had been warned by Prometheus never to accept a gift from Zeus. He forgot his promise to his brother to think before acting, because Aphrodite's gift had certainly included the ability of Pandora to give her husband ultimate sexual pleasure. Life was happy for Pandora and especially so for Epimetheus. But already destiny was at work. In the house was a covered earthen vessel (or box or chest) that either had been placed in the safekeeping of Epimetheus or given to Pandora along with other gifts. In either case it was forbidden to open it. But its unknown contents plagued Pandora (she had been given curiosity along with everything else). One day while Epimetheus was away, she could stand the temptation no longer and peeked into the vessel. She found out soon enough why she should not have opened the pot, for out swarmed all the calamities of mankind--from tidal waves to premature balding. It was too late to stop them as they spread out through the window and across the world. Pandora dropped the lid back in time to prevent the excape of the final occupant of the vessel. This was Elpis, and no matter how bad things became for people then and in the future, there was always hope. Pandora became the mother of Pyrrha by Epimetheus. Pyrrha married Deucalion, son of Prometheus, and these two people repopulated the earth when Zeus, finally disgusted with man, sent a flood to wipe out the human race. There is no record of Pandora's final history. It is not really certain whether or not she was considered immortal. In later writings she became associated with infernal divinities such as Hecate, Persephone, and the Erinyes.
In one or two versions of the allegory, Pandora brought the fatal vessel Epimetheus and, using her newly fashioned wiles, prevaied upon him to open it. It is interesting to observe the parallel of this story to that of Eve in the garden of Eden urging Adam to taste the forbidden apple. Some said the vessel contained only benefits for mankind, but these were allowed to escape. In any case, the result was intended to be the same. The birth of Pandora was represented on the pedestal of the statue of Athena in the Parthenon. [Hesiod, Theogony 571, Works and Days 30,50,96; Hyginus, Fables 142; Apollodorus 1.7.2; Ovid, Metamorphoses 1.350; Orphica, Argonautica 974.]

ACIDUSA was the wife of Scamander, son of Deimachus and Glaucia. Scamander obtained a tract of land in Boeotia across which flowed two rivers. He name one of the rivers Glaucia in honor of his mother and the other Scamander, not only after his own name but also that of his maternal grandfather, the river-god Scamander in the plain of Troy. Acidusa benefited from her husband's habit of nameing places after his family--he commemorated her by naming a Boeotian spring Acidusa. By Scamander, Acidusa had three daughters, who for one reason or another came to be regarded as minor divinities and were worshipped under the name of "the Maidens." [Plutarch, Greek Questions 4.]

Cleon Salmoneus [FAMILY.FTW]

CALYCE was a daughter of Aeolus and Enarete. Her family tree produced some of the greatest heroes and heroines in mythology, since her brothers were Cretheus, Sisyphus, Athamas, Salmoneus, Deion, Magnes, Perieres, and Macareus. She did well in her own right. She married Aethlius, son of Zeus and Protogeneia and grandson of Deucalion. By him she became the mother of the famous Endymion, who was not only the lover of the moon goddess Selene but also king of Elis and ancestor of the Aetolians, Epeians, and Paeonians. By report, she had 50 half-immortal granddaughters by the union of Selene with her sleeping son, but this phenomenon is discussed elsewhere. [Apollodorus 1.7.2,3.5; Pausanias 5.1.2,8.1, 10.31.2.]

MEROPE was one of the Pleiades. In the constellation of the Pleiades she is the seventh and least visible star because she was ashamed of having had intercourse with a mortal man. This mortal was Sisyphus, and Merope should have been ashamed not so much that he was mortal but because of the type of mortal he was. He was the son of Aeolus and Enarete, and brother of Cretheus, Athamas, Salmoneus, Deion, Magnes, Perieres, and Macareus. He eventually reigned in Corinth, since Medea gave him the sovereignty when she left. He promoted commerce and helped make the city important. He was of bad character however, as Merope was soon to discover. She bore him Glaucus, Ornytion, Thersander, and Halmus. Sisyphus meanwhile had twin sons by his niece Tyro, but she killed them at their birth. Of Merope's sons we know Glaucus best, not only as the father of Bellerophon but also as the breeder of flesh-eating mares. When Sisyphus was on his deathbed, he begged Merope not to bury him. She complied, and when he got to the underworld he complained that he was neglected and needed to return to the upper world to punish his wife. Once there he refused to return, and Hermes, transporter of the dead, had to carry him back by force.

Alcidice Aleus Neaera Apheidas ~1216 Anastacia Percy Arcas MAIA was the eldest of the Pleiades. As daughter of Atlas and Pleione, she was sometimes called either Atlantis or Pleias. One account called her a daughter of Atlas and Sterope, his own daughter. She was visited in a cave on Mount Cyllene in Arcadia by Zeus and became the mother of Hermes, one of the Olympian gods. He was surnamed Cyllenius from his birthplace. That is the extent of what we know of Maia. After Zeus had his affair with Callisto and she was changed into a bear, the baby, Arcas, was carried to Maia to be brought up. In a manner of speaking, he was her stepson, but so were scores of other sons of Zeus. Maia is famous through her son, for her presence is felt in the nursery adventures of the god of thieves. Hermes escaped from his cradle and went to Pieria, carrying off some of Apollo's oxen, but was forgiven when he invented the lyre from a tortoise shell. He became the messenger of the other gods, and was notorious for his ingenuity and cunning. We lose sight of Maia after Hermes became adult. She was not even mentioned in the upbringing of Dionysus, in which Hermes took a part. The Romans had a divinity called Maia, or Majesta, who was sometimes considered the wife of Vulcan, largely because a priest of Vulcan offered a sacrifice to her on May 1. Later, she became identified with the Greek Maia and was called the mother of Mercury.

Hyperes and Anthas were kings of Troezen, probably concurrently, and had neighboring towns named for them. Hyrieus was the founder of Hyria in Boeotia and father of Orion. Aethusa was loved by Apollo and became by him the mother of Eleuther. According to one account, she was also mother by him of Linus, but most accounts call his mother Psamathe. Eleuther grew up to found Eleutherae in Boeotia. He is credited with having erected the first staue of Dionysus and with spreading the worship of the god.

Chthonius Celaeno Erginus Asopus [FAMILY.FTW]

AEGINA was the daughter of the god of the Asopus River, which flows from Phliasia through Sicyonia into the Corinthian Gulf. Asopus married Metope, daughter of the river-god Ladon, and had by her two sons, Ismenus and Pelagon, and twenty daughters, one of whom was Aegina. Since she was very beautiful, she attracted the attention of Zeus, who abducted her and carried her from her home in Phlius to the island of Oenone or Oenopia, afterward called Aegina. A little tired of having his beautiful daughters carried away by lustful gods (Poseidon and Apollo were other examples), Asopus went in search of Aegina. At Corinth her learned from Sisyphus, the king (perhaps in exchange for supplying the Acrocorinthus with a spring), the facts about Aegina's disappearance. Asopus then pursued Zeus until the god, by hurling thunderbolts at him, sent him back to his original bed. Pieces of charcoal found in the riverbed in later times were thought to be residue from the stormy struggle. For his interference in the affair, after his death Sisyphus received special punishment in the lower world. Aegina became by Zeus the mother of Aeacus. His youth was marked by the progressive disappearance of the island's population by a plague or a dragon sent by the ever-jealous Hera. When Aeacus eventually became king, he had almost no subjects to govern, so Zeus restored the people by changing ants into human beings. Aeacus went on to become such a just king that his counsel was sought even by the gods, and after his death he was made one of the judges of the lower world. After her affair with Zeus, Aegina married Actor, son of Deion, and became by him the mother of Menoetius, who became the father of Patroclus, the famous friend of Achilles. In fact, it was through Aegina that Patroclus and Achilles were related, on being her grandson and the other her great-grandson by the separate lines begun by her two husbands. One commentator (Pythaenetos, quoting the scholiast on Pindar's Olympian Odes 9.107) said Menoetius was Actor's son by Damocrateia, a daughter of Aegina and Zeus. This makes sense in terms of putting Patroclus and Achilles in the same generation. In that case, also, Aegina's sexual encounters with the greeatest of the gods would have remained inviolate, unless we consider the single account that she was the mother of Sinope (usually called her sister) by Ares. Even here she at least kept with the immortals for lovers. [Apollodorus 3.12.6; Pausanias 2.5.1; Scholiast on Apollonius Rhodius 436.]

Asopus married Metope, daughter of the river-god Ladon, and had by her two sons, Ismenus and Pelagon, and twenty daughters, one of whom was Aegina. Since she was very beautiful, she attracted the attention of Zeus, who abducted her and carried her from her home in Phlius to the island of Oenone or Oenopia, afterward called Aegina. A little tired of having his beautiful daughters carried away by lustful gods (Poseidon and Apollo were other examples), Asopus went in search of Aegina. At Corinth her learned from Sisyphus, the king (perhaps in exchange for supplying the Acrocorinthus with a spring), the facts about Aegina's disappearance. Asopus then pursued Zeus until the god, by hurling thunderbolts at him, sent him back to his original bed. Pieces of charcoal found in the riverbed in later times were thought to be residue from the stormy struggle. For his interference in the affair, after his death Sisyphus received special punishment in the lower world. Aegina became by Zeus the mother of Aeacus. His youth was marked by the progressive disappearance of the island's population by a plague or a dragon sent by the ever-jealous Hera. When Aeacus eventually became king, he had almost no subjects to govern, so Zeus restored the people by changing ants into human beings. Aeacus went on to become such a just king that his counsel was sought even by the gods, and after his death he was made one of the judges of the lower world. After her affair with Zeus, Aegina married Actor, son of Deion, and became by him the mother of Menoetius, who became the father of Patroclus, the famous friend of Achilles. In fact, it was through Aegina that Patroclus and Achilles were related, on being her grandson and the other her great-grandson by the separate lines begun by her two husbands. One commentator (Pythaenetos, quoting the scholiast on Pindar's Olympian Odes 9.107) said Menoetius was Actor's son by Damocrateia, a daughter of Aegina and Zeus. This makes sense in terms of putting Patroclus and Achilles in the same generation. In that case, also, Aegina's sexual encounters with the greeatest of the gods would have remained inviolate, unless we consider the single account that she was the mother of Sinope (usually called her sister) by Ares. Even here she at least kept with the immortals for lovers. [Apollodorus 3.12.6; Pausanias 2.5.1; Scholiast on Apollonius Rhodius 436.]

AEGLE (1), the most beautiful of the Naiades, was the daughter of Zeus and Neara. According to some, by Helios she was the mother of the Charites, but their mother more often was called Eurynome.

Stymphalis Apollo [FAMILY.FTW]

ACACALLIS was a daughter of Minos and Pasiphae. While she has not shared the fame of her sisters Ariadne and Phaedra, she did lead a most interesting life. She had children by the two handsomest of the Olympian gods and even by the father of the gods. Acacallis was Apollo's first love. With his sister Artemis he came to Tarrha from Aegialae on the mainland for purification after slaying the moster Python. Apollo stayed at the house of Carmanor, where he found Acacallis, a maternal relative of Carmanor; it was not long until he seduced her. Some say Minos banished Acacallis to Libya, where she became the mother of Ammon by Zeus. By Apollo she had two more sons, Amphithemis and Garamas. Amphithemis became the father of Nasamon and Caphaurus, or Cephalion, by the nymph Tritonis. Of Garamas little is known. Some say he was born in Libya when Acacallis fled there, but others say he was the first man ever to be born and therefore from a much earlier era. Acacallis became the mother of Cydon by Hermes (others say the father was Apollo, and still others that it was Tegeates). Cydon grew up to found the town of Cydonia (modern Hania) in Crete. Some say that Acacallis had still another son (no father mentioned), Oaxus, or Oaxes, in Crete. Others say he was a son of Apollo by Anchiale. In Crete Acacallis was a common name for narcissus. Apollodorus (3.1.2) calls this daughter of Minos Acalle. [Pausanias 7.2.3, 8.53.2; Plutarch, Agis 9; Apollonius Rhodius 4.1490; Apollodorus 3.1.2; Stephanus Byzantium, "Oaxos"; Athenaeus 15.681; Hesychius, "Akakallis."]

AENETE (also called Aenippe) was a daughter of Eusorus and sister of Acamas. Bother Eusorus and Acamas, Trojan allies from Thrace, were killed in the war by the Telamonian Ajax. Aenete became the wife of Aeneus, a son of Apollo and Stilbe, and bore to him Cyzicus, who founded the town in Asia Minor by this name. [Apollonius Rhodius 1.950; Orphica, Argonautica 502.]

AETHUSA was a daughter of Poseidon and the Pleiad Alcyone, and sister of Hyrieus, Hyperenor, Hyperes, and Anthas. Hyperes and Anthas were kings of Troezen, probably concurrently, and had neighboring towns named for them. Hyrieus was the founder of Hyria in Boeotia and father of Orion. Aethusa was loved by Apollo and became by him the mother of Eleuther. According to one account, she was also mother by him of Linus, but most accounts call his mother Psamathe. Eleuther grew up to found Eleutherae in Boeotia. He is credited with having erected the first staue of Dionysus and with spreading the worship of the god. His grandson Poemander--and thus Aethusa's great-grandson--founded Tanagra. [Apollodorus 3.10.1; Pausanias 9.20.2.]

CALLIOPE was one of the nine Muses. As Muse of epic poetry she appears with a tablet and stylus, and sometimes with a scroll. Although she shared a great deal in common with her eight sisters and joined them most of the time in dancing and singing on Olympus and in their sacred groves on Mount Helicon, she led a most interesting private life. She was called at one time or another the mother of the Corybantes by Zeus, of Hymen by Apollo, of Ialemus by Apollo, of Linus by Apollo, of Rhesus by the Strymon River, of the Sirens, and of Orpheus by Oeagrus. It makes good sense that she was considered the mother of these famous poets and musicians (except for Rhesus). Hymen was the god of marriage and the author of the songs performed at weddings. Ialemus was the inventor of a special kind of song sung on melancholy occasions. Linus was the personification of lamentation; he invented dirges and songs in general. Orpheus was the most famous poet and musician who ever lived. The Corybantes were the attendants of Rhea Cybele and accompanied her with wild dancing and music. The Sirens, of course, were the women with beutiful voices who lured sailors to their death with their songs. As for Rhesus, the Thracian prince who went to the Trojan War, there is little reason for assigning him a Muse for a mother, and it seems this was done by later writers perhaps to lend poetic enhancement to his early and tragic death. Calliope also took a fancy to Achilles and taught him how to cheer his friends by singing at banquets. She was called by Zeus to mediate the quarrel between Aphrodite and Persephone over possession of Adonis. She settled the dispute by giving them equal time, providing Adonis some much-needed free time to himself. Calliope is somehow easier to picture than the other Muses, with the possible exception of Terpsichore. One can think of a voluptuous woman with a beautiful face and a pleasant manner. In spite of being credited with mournful sons who met unhappy ends, she may even be conceived as light-spirited. [Hesiod, Theogony 77; Philostratus, Heroicus 19.2; Hyginus, Fables 14, Poetic Astronomy 2.7; Catullus 61.2; Nonnos, Dionysiaca 33.67; Apollodorus 1.3.2,4; Pausanias 1.43.7, 2.19.7; Conon, Narrations 45; Apollonius Rhodius 1.23; Servius on Virgil's Aeneid 5.364; Zenobius 4.39.]

HARMONIA, one of the inspired conceptions of some long-forgotten writer, was a tribute to the ability of the Greeks to create an ideal balance. She was the daughter of Love (Aphrodite) and War (Ares). Her brothers were Deimos (Terror) and Phobos (Fear), both mainly thought of in terms of war. Again, as if to balance things, some called Eros and Anteros full brothers as well, but in any case they were half-brothers. After Cadmus founded Thebes, Zeus gave him Harmonia as a wife. This was a union favored by all the gods and goddesses of Olympus, especially Athena, who was the self-appointed protectress of Cadmus. All the Olympians attended the wedding, and rich presents were give, the most opulent being a necklace of exquisite design studded with precious stones. Fashioned for him by Hephaestus, the was the groom's gift to the bride, along with a handsome peplus, or robe. Some said the necklace was presented to her by Aphrodite or Athena. Some said Cadmus had received it from his sister Europa, who had earlier received it from Zeus, but this would make no sense, since Cadmus never saw Europa again after her abduction. In fact, his fruitless search for her had resulted in his founding Thebes. This beautiful jewelry, whatever its origin, came with a curse as it was passed from generation to generation. The results of its attraction culminated in the battle of the Seven against Thebes and the subsequent campaign of the Epigoni. Even in Harmonia's possession, its virulence seemed to spread like poison over the family. The children of Harmonia by Cadmus were Autonoe, Ino, Semele, Agave, and Polydorus. While they were small, Harmonia seemed to lead a rather idyllic life. Undeniably immortal herself, she spent time in the company of other immortals such as the Charites (Graces), Hebe (the goddess of youth), the Horae (Seasons), the Muses, Apollo, and her mother Aphrodite. Some even claimed that the Charites were her daughters by Zeus, who was already her grandfather and later would become her son-in-law as well. The mellow life enjoyed by Harmonia came to an end when her daughters grew up. Ino's husband went insane and tried to kill her, but she leapt into the sea and became a sea divinity. Autonoe married the god Aristaeus, but he left her when their son Actaeon was turned into a stag, then killed and eaten by his hunting dogs. Semele was burned alive when she forced her lover Zeus to appear to her in his full splendor. He managed to save the child she was carrying, which turned out to be Dionysus. This grandchild did not help things when later he converted his aunts to his worship. One day the three of them got drunk and, mistaking him for a wild beast, tore Agave's son, Pentheus, apart with their bare hands. Only Polydorus, the son, turned out reasonably well, if we do not dwell on the fact that he was the great-grandfather of Oedipus. Cadmus and Harmonia left Thebes even before the death of Pentheus. Their leaving has never been explained; perhaps the tragedies of the other daughters caused them to go to a remote place. There was a prophecy among the Enchelean people in northern Greece that if Cadmus would lead them against their enemies, the Illyrians, the would be victorious. Cadmus did so, and the prophecy was fulfilled. He and Harmonia then ruled in Illyria. Although grandparents, they produced another son, Illyrius. Afterward, the gods changed them into dragons and transported them to Elysium, or the Isles of the Blessed. A variation of this account calls Harmonia the daughter of Zeus and Electra, daughter of Atlas. She was therefore sister to Dardanus and Iasion. She and her brothers lived on the island of Samothrace, where they had gone from Arcadia. When Cadmus went there searching for Europa, he fell in love with Harmonia. In this version also, the gods smiled on the marriage and attended the wedding celebration on Samothrace. Then Cadmus took Harmonia to Thebes, and the two stories merged at that point. The second version might have arisen in conjunction with the strong Cabeirian influence in Theban worship (the Cabeiri were the divinities worshipped on the islands of Lemnos and Samothrace). Dardanus and Iasion taught the mysteries in the Aegean and Asia Minor, and it would seem appropriate that Harmonia introduced them on the Greek mainland. [Apollodorus 3.4.2,5.4; Diodorus Siculus 1.68,4.48; Pindar, Pythian Odes 3.94,167; Statius, Thebaid 2.266; Euripides, Bacchanals 1233,1350; Ovid, Metamorphoses 4.562-602; Pausanias 9.5.1,12.3; Hyginus, Fables 6,184,240; Ptolemaeus Hephaestion 1; Apollonius Rhodius 4.517.]

MAIA was the eldest of the Pleiades. As daughter of Atlas and Pleione, she was sometimes called either Atlantis or Pleias. One account called her a daughter of Atlas and Sterope, his own daughter. She was visited in a cave on Mount Cyllene in Arcadia by Zeus and became the mother of Hermes, one of the Olympian gods. He was surnamed Cyllenius from his birthplace. That is the extent of what we know of Maia. After Zeus had his affair with Callisto and she was changed into a bear, the baby, Arcas, was carried to Maia to be brought up. In a manner of speaking, he was her stepson, but so were scores of other sons of Zeus. Maia is famous through her son, for her presence is felt in the nursery adventures of the god of thieves. Hermes escaped from his cradle and went to Pieria, carrying off some of Apollo's oxen, but was forgiven when he invented the lyre from a tortoise shell. He became the messenger of the other gods, and was notorious for his ingenuity and cunning. We lose sight of Maia after Hermes became adult. She was not even mentioned in the upbringing of Dionysus, in which Hermes took a part. The Romans had a divinity called Maia, or Majesta, who was sometimes considered the wife of Vulcan, largely because a priest of Vulcan offered a sacrifice to her on May 1. Later, she became identified with the Greek Maia and was called the mother of Mercury. [Homeric Hymn to Hermes 3,17; Hesiod, Theogony 938; Apollodorus 3.10.2,8.2; Horace, Odes 1.10.1, 2.42; Macrobius, Saturnalia 1.12; Gellius 13.22; Servius on Virgil's Aeneid 8.130; Pausanias 8.17.1.]

FAMA was the Latin personification of rumor or report. She was a daughter of Terra, born after Coeus and Enceladus. She had a great number of eyes and mouths and moved from one place to another. She lived in a palace of bronze that had a thousand openings, which every voice could penetrate. From there she kept watch over the whole world, surrounded by Credulitas, Error, Laetitia (Unfounded Joy), Timores (Terror), Seditio, and Susurri (False Rumor). Her Greek name was Ossa.

Hephaestus [FAMILY.FTW]

AETNA was a Sicilian nymph, a daughter of Gaea by Uranus or Oceanus, or of Briareus, the giant. When Hephaestus and Demeter disputed the possession of Sicily, she acted as arbitrator. Her decisions must have been favorable to Hephaestus, since she became by him the mother of the Palici. These Sicilian demons, however, were most often called twin sons of Zeus by Thaleia, the daughter of Hephaestus. Mount Aetna in Sicily was believed to have derived its name from her. Zeus buried a few giants under Mount Aetna, and it was here that Hephaestus and the Cyclopes forged thunderbolts for him. Bother these circumstances helped the inhabitants explain the rumblings and eruptions. [Servius on Virgil's Aeneid 9.584; Euripides, Cyclops 296; Propertius 3.15.21; Cicero, On Divination 2.19.]

PANDORA over the centuries has become a kind of equivalent of Eve, the first created woman. Much blame was assigned to both because of a foolish mistake (provided we remove the element of destiny). Pandora, whose name literally meant All Gifts, came into being when Zeus had her created by the master artisan Hephaestus to punish Prometheus for stealing fire from heaven. Right there we have an anomaly, since the theft of fire presupposed an already existing population of the earth. But perhaps only males existed at that point, and Zeus had other ideas for propagation. It is interesting that he saw the creation of a woman as a punishment. Whatever the reason, Pandora was created as the first woman, and all the gods came forward to endow her with gifts. Aphrodite gave her beauty, Hermes gave her cunning, and other gods and goddesses gave her various powers that Zeus had calculated to bring about the ruin of man. Finally he had Hermes deliver her to Epimetheus, the not-so-bright brother of Prometheus. Epimetheus was utterly charmed by this marvelous creation, although he had been warned by Prometheus never to accept a gift from Zeus. He forgot his promise to his brother to think before acting, because Aphrodite's gift had certainly included the ability of Pandora to give her husband ultimate sexual pleasure. Life was happy for Pandora and especially so for Epimetheus. But already destiny was at work. In the house was a covered earthen vessel (or box or chest) that either had been placed in the safekeeping of Epimetheus or given to Pandora along with other gifts. In either case it was forbidden to open it. But its unknown contents plagued Pandora (she had been given curiosity along with everything else). One day while Epimetheus was away, she could stand the temptation no longer and peeked into the vessel. She found out soon enough why she should not have opened the pot, for out swarmed all the calamities of mankind--from tidal waves to premature balding. It was too late to stop them as they spread out through the window and across the world. Pandora dropped the lid back in time to prevent the excape of the final occupant of the vessel. This was Elpis, and no matter how bad things became for people then and in the future, there was always hope. Pandora became the mother of Pyrrha by Epimetheus. Pyrrha married Deucalion, son of Prometheus, and these two people repopulated the earth when Zeus, finally disgusted with man, sent a flood to wipe out the human race. There is no record of Pandora's final history. It is not really certain whether or not she was considered immortal. In later writings she became associated with infernal divinities such as Hecate, Persephone, and the Erinyes.
In one or two versions of the allegory, Pandora brought the fatal vessel Epimetheus and, using her newly fashioned wiles, prevaied upon him to open it. It is interesting to observe the parallel of this story to that of Eve in the garden of Eden urging Adam to taste the forbidden apple. Some said the vessel contained only benefits for mankind, but these were allowed to escape. In any case, the result was intended to be the same. The birth of Pandora was represented on the pedestal of the statue of Athena in the Parthenon. [Hesiod, Theogony 571, Works and Days 30,50,96; Hyginus, Fables 142; Apollodorus 1.7.2; Ovid, Metamorphoses 1.350; Orphica, Argonautica 974.]

ACRAEA (2) was an attribute given to several goddesses whose temple were situated upon hills, including Hera, Aphrodite, Athena, and Artemis. The male counterpart was Acraeus. Acraea was a designation used for Athena as protectress of towns, fortresses, and harbors, particularly during wartime. When abandoned by Jason, Medea killed her children by him and fled to Athens in a chariot drawn by winged dragons. Previous to her flight, she placed her younger children on the alter of Hera Acraea as suppliants, but the Corinthians took them away and put them to death. [Apollodorus 1.9.16.]

AETHYIA was a surname of Athena, under which she was worshipped in Megaris. The word aethyia signifies a diver and figuratively a ship, so the name must have reference to the goddess teaching the art of shipbuilding or navigation. The tomb of Pandion was shown in the territory of Megara near the rock of Athena Aethyia on the seacoast. [Pausanias 1.5.3; Lycophron 359; Tzetzes on Lycophron 359.]

ELECTRA was a daughter of Atlas and Pleione, and one of the seven Pleiades. Her story is a confusing one. Zeus fell in love with her and carried her to Olympus, a rather daring thing to do, considering the perennial jealousy of Hera. He succeeded in raping her, but she managed to escape in midrape and as a suppliant embraced the sacred Palladium, which Athena had establishe. Since she had been sullied, the divinity of her attacker notwithsanding, she was considered a defiler of the sacred object, and it was hurled from Olympus to land in Ilium (Troy), where it was revered as the city's principal security. Through her unwelcome encouter with the father of the gods, she became the mother of Iasion and Dardanus. They must have been twins, although this fact was never particularly emphasized. (According to an Italian version of her story, she was the wife of Corythus, king of Tuscia, and had Iasion by him and Dardanus later by Zeus.) When Dardanus and Iasion migrated to Samothrace from Arcadia (or Italy or Crete), they carried the Palladium with them. This is contrary to the story of its celestial origin, but there might have been two such images. Electra appears to have followed or accompanied her sons, for we find her on Samothrace. She was even said to have been the mother of Harmonia by Zeus in Samothrace, although Harmonia is nearly always called the daughter of Aphrodite and Ares. In keeping, though, with the accounts of the origin of the Samothracian mysteries, the presence of Harmonia appeared to be called for in establishing a connection between the Samothracian and Theban Cabeiri. It seems hardly likely that Electra voluntarily would have submitted Zeus after her first unfortunate experience with him. Thoroughly instructed in the mysteries by Demeter, his lover, Iasion passed on their knowledge to numerous heroes. He later married Cybele, according to some. Dardanus went to the Troad and was hospitably received by Teucer, the king of the region, who gave him part of the kingdom and his daughter Bateia. He built the city of Dardania (later Troy) and initiated the inhabitants into the mysteries of the gods of Samothrace. He introduce3d the cult of Cybele into Phrygia. Electra went with him to the Troad, and she brought the Palladium along from Samothrace. Again we have a conflicting account. Here is the very person who allegedly contaminated the Olympian Palladium, so that it was cast out of heaven, now bringing it to the city whose site was determined by the landing place in the earlier account. Apparently there needed to be an explanation fror the introduction of the mysteries into Troy. Although the Palladium was connected with Athena, who had no strong role in the mysteries, its function of guaranteeing the safety of the city was perhaps given more credibility by having Dardanus and Electra heavily involved in worship of the Cabeiri. Electra remained in Troy until its fall, according to some writers. Even though the Pleiades had a kind of second-class immortality, being daughters of a Titan, this would have made Electra well over 100 years old. According to the story, she watched the city founded by her son perishing in flames and tore out her hair in grief; she was placed among the stars as a comet. Other accounts say she and her sisters were already among the stars as the seven Pleiades and that Electra's brilliancy dimmed when Ilium was destroyed. [Apollodorus 3.10.1, 12.1.3; Servius on Virgil's Aeneid 1.32,384, 2.325, 3.167, 7.207, 10.272; Tzetzes on Lycophron 29; Diodorus Siculus 5.48; Scholiast on Euripides' Phoenician Maidens 1136; Eustathius on Homer's Iliad 1155.]

HARMONIA, one of the inspired conceptions of some long-forgotten writer, was a tribute to the ability of the Greeks to create an ideal balance. She was the daughter of Love (Aphrodite) and War (Ares). Her brothers were Deimos (Terror) and Phobos (Fear), both mainly thought of in terms of war. Again, as if to balance things, some called Eros and Anteros full brothers as well, but in any case they were half-brothers. After Cadmus founded Thebes, Zeus gave him Harmonia as a wife. This was a union favored by all the gods and goddesses of Olympus, especially Athena, who was the self-appointed protectress of Cadmus. All the Olympians attended the wedding, and rich presents were give, the most opulent being a necklace of exquisite design studded with precious stones. Fashioned for him by Hephaestus, the was the groom's gift to the bride, along with a handsome peplus, or robe. Some said the necklace was presented to her by Aphrodite or Athena. Some said Cadmus had received it from his sister Europa, who had earlier received it from Zeus, but this would make no sense, since Cadmus never saw Europa again after her abduction. In fact, his fruitless search for her had resulted in his founding Thebes. This beautiful jewelry, whatever its origin, came with a curse as it was passed from generation to generation. The results of its attraction culminated in the battle of the Seven against Thebes and the subsequent campaign of the Epigoni. Even in Harmonia's possession, its virulence seemed to spread like poison over the family. The children of Harmonia by Cadmus were Autonoe, Ino, Semele, Agave, and Polydorus. While they were small, Harmonia seemed to lead a rather idyllic life. Undeniably immortal herself, she spent time in the company of other immortals such as the Charites (Graces), Hebe (the goddess of youth), the Horae (Seasons), the Muses, Apollo, and her mother Aphrodite. Some even claimed that the Charites were her daughters by Zeus, who was already her grandfather and later would become her son-in-law as well. The mellow life enjoyed by Harmonia came to an end when her daughters grew up. Ino's husband went insane and tried to kill her, but she leapt into the sea and became a sea divinity. Autonoe married the god Aristaeus, but he left her when their son Actaeon was turned into a stag, then killed and eaten by his hunting dogs. Semele was burned alive when she forced her lover Zeus to appear to her in his full splendor. He managed to save the child she was carrying, which turned out to be Dionysus. This grandchild did not help things when later he converted his aunts to his worship. One day the three of them got drunk and, mistaking him for a wild beast, tore Agave's son, Pentheus, apart with their bare hands. Only Polydorus, the son, turned out reasonably well, if we do not dwell on the fact that he was the great-grandfather of Oedipus. Cadmus and Harmonia left Thebes even before the death of Pentheus. Their leaving has never been explained; perhaps the tragedies of the other daughters caused them to go to a remote place. There was a prophecy among the Enchelean people in northern Greece that if Cadmus would lead them against their enemies, the Illyrians, the would be victorious. Cadmus did so, and the prophecy was fulfilled. He and Harmonia then ruled in Illyria. Although grandparents, they produced another son, Illyrius. Afterward, the gods changed them into dragons and transported them to Elysium, or the Isles of the Blessed. A variation of this account calls Harmonia the daughter of Zeus and Electra, daughter of Atlas. She was therefore sister to Dardanus and Iasion. She and her brothers lived on the island of Samothrace, where they had gone from Arcadia. When Cadmus went there searching for Europa, he fell in love with Harmonia. In this version also, the gods smiled on the marriage and attended the wedding celebration on Samothrace. Then Cadmus took Harmonia to Thebes, and the two stories merged at that point. The second version might have arisen in conjunction with the strong Cabeirian influence in Theban worship (the Cabeiri were the divinities worshipped on the islands of Lemnos and Samothrace). Dardanus and Iasion taught the mysteries in the Aegean and Asia Minor, and it would seem appropriate that Harmonia introduced them on the Greek mainland.

PANDORA over the centuries has become a kind of equivalent of Eve, the first created woman. Much blame was assigned to both because of a foolish mistake (provided we remove the element of destiny). Pandora, whose name literally meant All Gifts, came into being when Zeus had her created by the master artisan Hephaestus to punish Prometheus for stealing fire from heaven. Right there we have an anomaly, since the theft of fire presupposed an already existing population of the earth. But perhaps only males existed at that point, and Zeus had other ideas for propagation. It is interesting that he saw the creation of a woman as a punishment. Whatever the reason, Pandora was created as the first woman, and all the gods came forward to endow her with gifts. Aphrodite gave her beauty, Hermes gave her cunning, and other gods and goddesses gave her various powers that Zeus had calculated to bring about the ruin of man. Finally he had Hermes deliver her to Epimetheus, the not-so-bright brother of Prometheus. Epimetheus was utterly charmed by this marvelous creation, although he had been warned by Prometheus never to accept a gift from Zeus. He forgot his promise to his brother to think before acting, because Aphrodite's gift had certainly included the ability of Pandora to give her husband ultimate sexual pleasure. Life was happy for Pandora and especially so for Epimetheus. But already destiny was at work. In the house was a covered earthen vessel (or box or chest) that either had been placed in the safekeeping of Epimetheus or given to Pandora along with other gifts. In either case it was forbidden to open it. But its unknown contents plagued Pandora (she had been given curiosity along with everything else). One day while Epimetheus was away, she could stand the temptation no longer and peeked into the vessel. She found out soon enough why she should not have opened the pot, for out swarmed all the calamities of mankind--from tidal waves to premature balding. It was too late to stop them as they spread out through the window and across the world. Pandora dropped the lid back in time to prevent the excape of the final occupant of the vessel. This was Elpis, and no matter how bad things became for people then and in the future, there was always hope. Pandora became the mother of Pyrrha by Epimetheus. Pyrrha married Deucalion, son of Prometheus, and these two people repopulated the earth when Zeus, finally disgusted with man, sent a flood to wipe out the human race. There is no record of Pandora's final history. It is not really certain whether or not she was considered immortal. In later writings she became associated with infernal divinities such as Hecate, Persephone, and the Erinyes.
In one or two versions of the allegory, Pandora brought the fatal vessel Epimetheus and, using her newly fashioned wiles, prevaied upon him to open it. It is interesting to observe the parallel of this story to that of Eve in the garden of Eden urging Adam to taste the forbidden apple. Some said the vessel contained only benefits for mankind, but these were allowed to escape. In any case, the result was intended to be the same. The birth of Pandora was represented on the pedestal of the statue of Athena in the Parthenon. [Hesiod, Theogony 571, Works and Days 30,50,96; Hyginus, Fables 142; Apollodorus 1.7.2; Ovid, Metamorphoses 1.350; Orphica, Argonautica 974.]
Hera [FAMILY.FTW]

ACRAEA (1) was a daughter of the river-god Asterion near Mycenae, who together with her sisters Euboea and Prosymna, acted as nurse to Hera. A hill called Acraea opposite the temple of Hera near Mycenae derived its name from her. [Pausanias 2.17.2.]

ACRAEA (2) was an attribute given to several goddesses whose temple were situated upon hills, including Hera, Aphrodite, Athena, and Artemis. The male counterpart was Acraeus. Acraea was a designation used for Athena as protectress of towns, fortresses, and harbors, particularly during wartime. When abandoned by Jason, Medea killed her children by him and fled to Athens in a chariot drawn by winged dragons. Previous to her flight, she placed her younger children on the alter of Hera Acraea as suppliants, but the Corinthians took them away and put them to death. [Apollodorus 1.9.16.]

ADMETE (2) was the daughter of Eurystheus and Antimache or Admete. Eurystheus, cousin of Heracles, succeede to the throne of Mycenae by being born before Heracles through Hera's manipulation. He also was in charge of selecting the labors Heracles had to perform as penance for the murder of Megara and his children by her. It was at the insistence of Admete that Heracles was required to perform his ninth labor. Hippolyte, queen of the Amazons, posessed a magnificent girdle, or belt, given to her by Ares. Admete had heard about this splendid belt and had always longed to own it, so she persuaded Eurystheus to have it brought to her as one of Heracles' labors. Heracles was therefore sent to fetch it and, accompanied by a number of volunteers, he sailed out. According to one writer, Admete accompanied him on this expedition. In another tradition, Admete was originally a priestess of Hera at Argos. She fled with the image of the goddess to Samos. The Argives hired pirates to bring the image back, but the ship on which they loaded the image would not move out of the harbor. They unloaded it and left. When the Samians found it, they tied it to a tree, but Admete purified the image and restored it to the temple of Samos. The Samians celebrated an annual festival, Tonea, to commemorate this event. It is likely that this story was invented by the Argives to prove their worship of Hera was older than that of Samos. It is curious that Admete was selected as the motivator, unless her status as a princess gave a special prestige to the Argive claim. In other respects, the office of priestess seems incongruous with an obviously spoi8led daughter who sent a cousin on a perilous mission for the sake of personal vanity. [Tzetzes on Lycophron 1327; Athenaeus 15.447.]

AEDON (2) was, according to Antoninus Liberalis (11), the wife of Polytechnus, an artist of Colophon. When she boasted that she lived more happily with her husband than Hera with Zeus, in revenge Hera ordered Eris, the goddess of discord, to induce Aedon to enter into a contest with her husband. Polytechnus was at that time engaged in making a chariot and Aedon a piece of embroidery, and they agreed that whoever finished their work first would receive from the other a female slave as the prize. When Aedon won the contest, Polytechnus went to his wife's father and told him that Aedon was eager to see her sister Chelidonis, and took her with him. On his way home he raped her, dressed her in slave's attire, threatened her into absolute silence, and gave her to his wife as the promised prize. After some time, thinking she was alone, Chelidonis lamented her fate. She was overheard by Aedon, and the two sisters conspired against Polytechnus. They killed his son Itys, whom they served to Polytechnus for dinner. Aedon fled with Chelidonis to her father who, when Polytechnus came in pursuit, had him bound, smeared with honey, and exposed to ants and other insects. Aedon then took pity on him, and her relatives were about to kill her for her display of mercy. About this time, Zeus changed Polytechnus into a pelican, her father into a sea eagle, Chelidonis into a swallow, and Aedon herself into a nightingale. This story is almost identical to that of Procne and Philomela.

AEGOPHAGOS, Goat-Eater, was a surname of Hera at Sparta. In his campaign against the sons of Hippocoon, Heracles did not receive the usual interference from Hera, so he built a shrine to her at Sparta. Having no other victim at hand, he sacrificed goats to her. Sparta was the only place giving this surname to Hera.

ELECTRA was a daughter of Atlas and Pleione, and one of the seven Pleiades. Her story is a confusing one. Zeus fell in love with her and carried her to Olympus, a rather daring thing to do, considering the perennial jealousy of Hera. He succeeded in raping her, but she managed to escape in midrape and as a suppliant embraced the sacred Palladium, which Athena had establishe. Since she had been sullied, the divinity of her attacker notwithsanding, she was considered a defiler of the sacred object, and it was hurled from Olympus to land in Ilium (Troy), where it was revered as the city's principal security. Through her unwelcome encouter with the father of the gods, she became the mother of Iasion and Dardanus. They must have been twins, although this fact was never particularly emphasized. (According to an Italian version of her story, she was the wife of Corythus, king of Tuscia, and had Iasion by him and Dardanus later by Zeus.) When Dardanus and Iasion migrated to Samothrace from Arcadia (or Italy or Crete), they carried the Palladium with them. This is contrary to the story of its celestial origin, but there might have been two such images. Electra appears to have followed or accompanied her sons, for we find her on Samothrace. She was even said to have been the mother of Harmonia by Zeus in Samothrace, although Harmonia is nearly always called the daughter of Aphrodite and Ares. In keeping, though, with the accounts of the origin of the Samothracian mysteries, the presence of Harmonia appeared to be called for in establishing a connection between the Samothracian and Theban Cabeiri. It seems hardly likely that Electra voluntarily would have submitted Zeus after her first unfortunate experience with him. Thoroughly instructed in the mysteries by Demeter, his lover, Iasion passed on their knowledge to numerous heroes. He later married Cybele, according to some. Dardanus went to the Troad and was hospitably received by Teucer, the king of the region, who gave him part of the kingdom and his daughter Bateia. He built the city of Dardania (later Troy) and initiated the inhabitants into the mysteries of the gods of Samothrace. He introduce3d the cult of Cybele into Phrygia. Electra went with him to the Troad, and she brought the Palladium along from Samothrace. Again we have a conflicting account.

Metis Pallas Tritonis [FAMILY.FTW]

ACACALLIS was a daughter of Minos and Pasiphae. While she has not shared the fame of her sisters Ariadne and Phaedra, she did lead a most interesting life. She had children by the two handsomest of the Olympian gods and even by the father of the gods. Acacallis was Apollo's first love. With his sister Artemis he came to Tarrha from Aegialae on the mainland for purification after slaying the moster Python. Apollo stayed at the house of Carmanor, where he found Acacallis, a maternal relative of Carmanor; it was not long until he seduced her. Some say Minos banished Acacallis to Libya, where she became the mother of Ammon by Zeus. By Apollo she had two more sons, Amphithemis and Garamas. Amphithemis became the father of Nasamon and Caphaurus, or Cephalion, by the nymph Tritonis. Of Garamas little is known. Some say he was born in Libya when Acacallis fled there, but others say he was the first man ever to be born and therefore from a much earlier era. Acacallis became the mother of Cydon by Hermes (others say the father was Apollo, and still others that it was Tegeates). Cydon grew up to found the town of Cydonia (modern Hania) in Crete. Some say that Acacallis had still another son (no father mentioned), Oaxus, or Oaxes, in Crete. Others say he was a son of Apollo by Anchiale. In Crete Acacallis was a common name for narcissus. Apollodorus (3.1.2) calls this daughter of Minos Acalle.

AEROPE (1) was a daughter of Catreus, king of Crete, and granddaughter of Minos. From the very start, fortune did not smile one her. Catreus learned from an oracle that one of his children would kill him. His son Althaemenes left Crete voluntarily, taking with him one of his sisters, Apemosyne. The other two daughters, Clymene and Aerope, Catreus gave to Nauplius to sell in a foreign land. Nauplius married Clymene and gave Aerope to Pleisthenes, the son of Atreus. By him she became the mother of Agamemnon, Menelaus, and Anaxibia. Pleisthenes was sickly and died young; Atreus then married Aerope, and adopted and reared his grandchildren. Thyestes, the younger brother of Atreus, seduced Aerope. About the same time, the rule of Mycenae became available through the death of Eurystheus, and an oracle said a son of Pelops should be chosen king. Atreus had found in one of his flocks a lamb with golden fleece; istead of dedicating it to Artemis as he had promised, he hid the fleece in a chest. Aerope found it and secretly gave it to her lover. Thyestes proposed that the rule of Mycenae should go to the posessor of the fleece, and the unsuspecting Atreus readily agreed. So Thyestes was declared king, but the gods intervened. It was agreed that if the sun changed its course, Atreus would be king. Then the sun set in the east, and Thyestes' exceedingly short reign was over. So was his residence in Mycenae, since Atreus promptly exiled him for the theft of and deception about the golden fleece. Atreus found out about the adulterous affair and exacted a terrible revenge. He recalled Thyestes from exile, pretending to forgive him, but meanwhile he had killed Thyestes' three sons, Aglaus, Callileon, and Orchomenus. He had them dismembered, boiled, and served to Thyestes during a feast. After Thyestes had eaten, the grisly heads were brought in. One more Atreus drove Thyestes from the country, then turned his attention to Aerope, whom he drowned. Interestingly, this was a fate originally intended for her back in Crete, according to some, when she had been caught by her father in bed with a lover. Aerope is noteworthy not only for her tempestuous career but for being the blood link between the royal lines of Mycenae and Crete. Few people ever stop to consider that Agamemnon and Menelaus were great-grandsons of Minos and thereby second cousins of Idomeneus. This could even account for the entrance of Crete into the Trojan War. [Apollodorus 3.2.2; Euripides, Orestes 5, Helen 397; Hyginus, Fables 87.]

Astypalaea was one of Poseidon's amatory conquests, and with him one can never be sure whether the liaison was willingly entered into or forced.

She was also rewarded by having the island of Astypalaea named for her, and her sons were treated favorably as well. Ancaeus became king of the Leleges in Samos and produced several sons. Eurypylus became king of Cos and fared well until he was killed by Heracles, who was attacked by the inhabitants under the misapprehension he was a pirate.

Deion [FAMILY.FTW]

AEGINA was the daughter of the god of the Asopus River, which flows from Phliasia through Sicyonia into the Corinthian Gulf. Asopus married Metope, daughter of the river-god Ladon, and had by her two sons, Ismenus and Pelagon, and twenty daughters, one of whom was Aegina. Since she was very beautiful, she attracted the attention of Zeus, who abducted her and carried her from her home in Phlius to the island of Oenone or Oenopia, afterward called Aegina. A little tired of having his beautiful daughters carried away by lustful gods (Poseidon and Apollo were other examples), Asopus went in search of Aegina. At Corinth her learned from Sisyphus, the king (perhaps in exchange for supplying the Acrocorinthus with a spring), the facts about Aegina's disappearance. Asopus then pursued Zeus until the god, by hurling thunderbolts at him, sent him back to his original bed. Pieces of charcoal found in the riverbed in later times were thought to be residue from the stormy struggle. For his interference in the affair, after his death Sisyphus received special punishment in the lower world. Aegina became by Zeus the mother of Aeacus. His youth was marked by the progressive disappearance of the island's population by a plague or a dragon sent by the ever-jealous Hera. When Aeacus eventually became king, he had almost no subjects to govern, so Zeus restored the people by changing ants into human beings. Aeacus went on to become such a just king that his counsel was sought even by the gods, and after his death he was made one of the judges of the lower world. After her affair with Zeus, Aegina married Actor, son of Deion, and became by him the mother of Menoetius, who became the father of Patroclus, the famous friend of Achilles. In fact, it was through Aegina that Patroclus and Achilles were related, on being her grandson and the other her great-grandson by the separate lines begun by her two husbands. One commentator (Pythaenetos, quoting the scholiast on Pindar's Olympian Odes 9.107) said Menoetius was Actor's son by Damocrateia, a daughter of Aegina and Zeus. This makes sense in terms of putting Patroclus and Achilles in the same generation. In that case, also, Aegina's sexual encounters with the greeatest of the gods would have remained inviolate, unless we consider the single account that she was the mother of Sinope (usually called her sister) by Ares. Even here she at least kept with the immortals for lovers. [Apollodorus 3.12.6; Pausanias 2.5.1; Scholiast on Apollonius Rhodius 436.]

MEROPE was one of the Pleiades. In the constellation of the Pleiades she is the seventh and least visible star because she was ashamed of having had intercourse with a mortal man. This mortal was Sisyphus, and Merope should have been ashamed not so much that he was mortal but because of the type of mortal he was. He was the son of Aeolus and Enarete, and brother of Cretheus, Athamas, Salmoneus, Deion, Magnes, Perieres, and Macareus. He eventually reigned in Corinth, since Medea gave him the sovereignty when she left. He promoted commerce and helped make the city important. He was of bad character however, as Merope was soon to discover. She bore him Glaucus, Ornytion, Thersander, and Halmus. Sisyphus meanwhile had twin sons by his niece Tyro, but she killed them at their birth. Of Merope's sons we know Glaucus best, not only as the father of Bellerophon but also as the breeder of flesh-eating mares. When Sisyphus was on his deathbed, he begged Merope not to bury him. She complied, and when he got to the underworld he complained that he was neglected and needed to return to the upper world to punish his wife. Once there he refused to return, and Hermes, transporter of the dead, had to carry him back by force. [Apollodorus

In Greek mythology, King of Boeotia. He married Nephele, who bore him Phrixus and Helle, but he later fell in love with Ino, who bore him Learchus and Melicertes. According to one legend, Athamas went mad, killed Learchus and forced Ino, who was fleeing with Melicertes, to leap to her death in the sea.
Athamas 1 was king first in Boeotia and then in Thessaly. As his second wife Ino plotted against the children of his first wife Nephele 2, he almost sacrificed his son Phrixus 1. Hermes entrusted Dionysus 2 to Athamas 1 and Ino, and persuaded them to rear him as a girl. But Hera (or Tisiphone 1) drove them mad, and Athamas 1 hunted his elder son Learchus as a deer and killed him. Athamas 1 was banished and settled in the country he named Athamantia marrying Themisto 2 and having other children by her.



Ino's plot.
Athamas 1 married first Nephele 2 and had children, Phrixus 1 and Helle by her. But when Athamas 1 married his second wife Ino, she plotted against the children of his first wife Nephele 2. This is what Ino did: she persuaded the women of the country to parch the wheat without the knowledge of the men. As a result the earth did not yield its annual crops, being as it was sown with parched wheat.

Falsification of the oracle.
When the country was then suffering from dearth, Athamas 1 sent messengers to the oracle of Delphi to inquire how they might be delivered from the calamity. But Ino persuaded the messengers, in one way or another, to falsify the oracle and say that it had been foretold that the dearth would cease if Phrixus 1 were sacrificed.

Nephele 2 saves her children.
When this was known, the people, easily deluded by the promises of the false oracle, demanded from Athamas 1 compliance with it and forced him to bring his own son to the sacrificial altar. However, before he was able to satisfy the public demands, his wife Nephele 2 put her son Phrixus 1 along with her daughter Helle on the back of the Ram with the Golden Fleece, which she had received from Hermes, and flying on it they escaped.

Fate of Phrixus 1 and Helle.
Helle slipped into the sea, which was called Hellespont after her, and was drowned; her tomb was said to be in the Chersonesus, which is the Thracian peninsula separated from Asia Minor by the Dardanelles. But Phrixus 1 came to Colchis (Georgia in the Caucasus), and having sacrificed the Ram, he gave the Golden Fleece to King Aeetes and married his daughter Chalciope 2, who some have called Iophossa.

[More about Phrixus 1 under Mates & Offspring below]

Or was it Demodice's plot?
But others have said that it was Demodice who plotted against Phrixus 1. For she, though being married to Cretheus 1, brother of Athamas 1, fell in love with Phrixus 1 and when he did not return her love, she accused him to Cretheus 1, saying that he had attacked her. On hearing this report Cretheus 1 persuaded his brother Athamas 1 to put Phrixus 1 to death, and, they say, it was then that Nephele 2 intervened to save her son, sending him away on the back of the Ram with the Golden Fleece, along with his sister Helle.

Athamas 1 and Ino protect the child Dionysus 2.
These are the times when the god of the vine Dionysus 2 was born out of Zeus' thigh. For Dionysus 2's mother Semele, deluded by Hera, asked Zeus to appear before her as he uses to appear before Hera and he, having promised to grant whatever she asked, could not refuse. So he came in the midst of thunderings, lightnings and thunderbolts and Semele died of fright. Zeus then snatched from the fire the six-months abortive child and sewed it in his thigh, but when later he undid the stitches and gave birth to Dionysus 2, he entrusted him to Hermes, who in turn gave him to Athamas 1 and Ino and persuaded them to rear him as a girl.

Hera's wrath.
This is why Hera, who already had succeeded in destroying Semele, decided to destroy both Athamas 1 and Semele's sister Ino (these two girls are daughters of Cadmus), who now were protecting and rearing the son of her husband's mistress.

Hera engages the ERINYES.
For this purpose Hera descended to the Underworld and asked the ERINYES, with commands, promises and prayers, to drive Athamas 1 to madness.



Hera meets the ERINYES in the Underworld. Beside her is Cerberus 1; at a distance the DANAIDS fill the leaky jar, Ixion whirls in the wheel and Sisyphus pushes the stone
Tisiphone 1 takes the job.
So one of them, Tisiphone 1, who uses to guard the entrance to Tartarus, seizing a torch steeped in gore, putting on her bloodstained robe and girding round her waist a snake, came out from the Underworld followed, as they say, by Grief, Terror, Dread and Madness.

Dreadful vision.
Tisiphone 1 was not the sight King Athamas 1 and his wife were longing to see, and when they tried to escape, the vision stood in their way stretching her arms wreathed with serpents. Some of these, they say, lay on her shoulders and others twined round her breasts hissing and vomiting poisonous gore and darting out their tongues. Tisiphone 1 then teared away two serpents and these, having been hurled at Athamas 1 and Ino, breathed the pestilential breath upon them.

Tisiphone 1 injures their minds.
After this Tisiphone 1 poured over their breasts a maddening poison brew composed of froth of Cerberus 1, poison of the Hydra, Hallucinations, Oblivion, Crime and Tears, Love of Slaughter, blood and hemlock, making it sink to the core of their being. For, as it is said, the king and queen did not suffer any physical injury, the deadly stroke being aimed at their minds.

Athamas 1 kills Learchus.
Her task accomplished Tisiphone 1 left, but straightaway Athamas 1 started to hallucinate, believing her wife was a lioness, and snatching his little son Learchus from his mother's arms, he whirled him round and dashed his head against a rock. But others have said that Learchus died shot by an arrow being hunted by his father as if he were a deer.

Death of Ino and Melicertes.
Ino, stung to madness too, took their other child Melicertes, and howling fled away. Having climbed to a cliff and still bereft of sense, she then leaped with her child far above the sea. But some say that Ino threw her child Melicertes into a boiling cauldron and that, carrying it with the dead child, she sprang into the sea. Still others have said that it was Athamas 1 who laid Melicertes in the cauldron.

Ino and Melicertes become gods.
However, Ino was no ordinary girl, for being the daughter of Harmonia 1 she was the granddaughter of Aphrodite. And the goddess, having witnessed the end of Ino and her child Melicertes, asked Poseidon to receive them as sea-deities and he, consenting to her prayer, took away from Ino and her son their mortal parts. From that day Ino and Melicertes are known as Leucothea and Palaemon 3, a goddess and a god who live in the sea, giving help to sailors during storms.

Some have said that Melicertes was landed on the Isthmus of Corinth by a dolphin. He was then renamed Palaemon 3 and the Isthmian games were celebrated in his honour.

Saving Dionysus 2.
In any case Dionysus 2 had to elude Hera's wrath, and so, when these things happened to Athamas 1 and Ino, Zeus turned his child Dionysus 2 into a kid and Hermes took him to Nysa in Asia and gave him to the nymphs called HYADES 1 who dwell there and are said to be the daughters of Atlas.

Athamas 1 emigrates.
In the meantime Athamas 1, who having suffered two plots, had lost all his children, was banished from Boeotia. Not knowing where to live he inquired the oracle, receiving the answer that he should dwell in whatever place he should be entertained by wild beasts. So when he fell in with wolves that were devouring sheep and they abandoned their prey and fled, Athamas 1 thought that this was the oracle's fulfilment. He then stayed in that country, which is in Thessaly, and called it Athamantia after himself.

New marriage of Athamas 1.
There Athamas 1 married for the third time to Themisto 2, daughter of King Hypseus 1 of the LAPITHS, son of the river god Peneus, and had children by her.

[For more details about Themisto 2 and her children see Mates & Offspring below].

Death and namesakes.
The death of Athamas 1 has not been reported.

Athamas 2 is a son of Oenopion 1, son of Ariadne, the daughter of Minos 2, either by Theseus or by Dionysus 2. Athamas 3 is one of the sons of Aegyptus 1; he married Pyrante, one of the DANAIDS, and was killed by her. Athamas 4 is a descendant of Athamas 1 and the founder of Teos in Ionia.

Phrixus 1.

Helle.
To avoid being sacrificed Phrixus 1 fled and was borne through the sky to Colchis by the Ram with the Golden Fleece. On reaching the shore, they say, the Ram was turned into a constellation, but his golden fleece was carried to Colchis. Phrixus married King Aeetes' daughter Chalciope 2, and he had children by her. However Aeetes, fearing for his own life and kingdom on account of prodigies which had warned him against a foreigner descendant of Aeolus 1, killed Phrixus 1. But others have said that Phrixus 1 died after a long life, and that suddenly there appeared a flame in heaven, and the ram in a constellation.

Some have said that Ino's plot against Phrixus 1 [see main text above] was revealed by the messengers or messenger who had lied about the oracle, which falsely was said to demand the sacrifice of Phrixus 1. When Athamas 1 was thus informed of Ino's plot he decided to execute her and her son Melicertes. It is said that Dionysus 2 then protected them, casting mist around his nurse Ino. When later Athamas 1 went mad and Ino threw herself into the sea with her child Melicertes, Dionysus 2 called them Leucothea and Palaemon 3.

Themisto 2 is daughter of Hypseus 1 by a Nymph. Some have said that Themisto 2 had two sons, Sphincius and Orchomenus 6, and that she plotted against the children of Ino. Themisto 2, they say, hid in the palace and, deceived by a nurse who had put the wrong garments on the children, killed her own sons instead of killing Ino's. It is said that when Themisto discovered what she had done, she killed herself.

Leucon 1 died of a sickness. He had a daughter Evippe 3, who married Andreus 1, son of the river god Peneus and the man after whom the land Andreis in Boeotia was named. Eteocles 2, son of Andreus 1 & Evippe 3, was king in Boeotia and died childless. Leucon 1 had also a son Erythras 2 after whom Erythrae in Boeotia was named. He was one of the SUITORS OF HIPPODAMIA 3 and was killed by King Oenomaus 1.

Ptous is said to be the twin brother of Porphyrion 2. It is said that these were the children that Themisto 2 killed believing they were Ino's sons. Mont Ptous in Boeotia is called after Ptous.

MEROPE was one of the Pleiades. In the constellation of the Pleiades she is the seventh and least visible star because she was ashamed of having had intercourse with a mortal man. This mortal was Sisyphus, and Merope should have been ashamed not so much that he was mortal but because of the type of mortal he was. He was the son of Aeolus and Enarete, and brother of Cretheus, Athamas, Salmoneus, Deion, Magnes, Perieres, and Macareus. He eventually reigned in Corinth, since Medea gave him the sovereignty when she left. He promoted commerce and helped make the city important. He was of bad character however, as Merope was soon to discover. She bore him Glaucus, Ornytion, Thersander, and Halmus. Sisyphus meanwhile had twin sons by his niece Tyro, but she killed them at their birth. Of Merope's sons we know Glaucus best, not only as the father of Bellerophon but also as the breeder of flesh-eating mares. When Sisyphus was on his deathbed, he begged Merope not to bury him. She complied, and when he got to the underworld he complained that he was neglected and needed to return to the upper world to punish his wife. Once there he refused to return, and Hermes, transporter of the dead, had to carry him back by force.

Sisyphus [FAMILY.FTW]

AEGINA was the daughter of the god of the Asopus River, which flows from Phliasia through Sicyonia into the Corinthian Gulf. Asopus married Metope, daughter of the river-god Ladon, and had by her two sons, Ismenus and Pelagon, and twenty daughters, one of whom was Aegina. Since she was very beautiful, she attracted the attention of Zeus, who abducted her and carried her from her home in Phlius to the island of Oenone or Oenopia, afterward called Aegina. A little tired of having his beautiful daughters carried away by lustful gods (Poseidon and Apollo were other examples), Asopus went in search of Aegina. At Corinth her learned from Sisyphus, the king (perhaps in exchange for supplying the Acrocorinthus with a spring), the facts about Aegina's disappearance. Asopus then pursued Zeus until the god, by hurling thunderbolts at him, sent him back to his original bed. Pieces of charcoal found in the riverbed in later times were thought to be residue from the stormy struggle. For his interference in the affair, after his death Sisyphus received special punishment in the lower world. Aegina became by Zeus the mother of Aeacus. His youth was marked by the progressive disappearance of the island's population by a plague or a dragon sent by the ever-jealous Hera. When Aeacus eventually became king, he had almost no subjects to govern, so Zeus restored the people by changing ants into human beings. Aeacus went on to become such a just king that his counsel was sought even by the gods, and after his death he was made one of the judges of the lower world. After her affair with Zeus, Aegina married Actor, son of Deion, and became by him the mother of Menoetius, who became the father of Patroclus, the famous friend of Achilles. In fact, it was through Aegina that Patroclus and Achilles were related, on being her grandson and the other her great-grandson by the separate lines begun by her two husbands. One commentator (Pythaenetos, quoting the scholiast on Pindar's Olympian Odes 9.107) said Menoetius was Actor's son by Damocrateia, a daughter of Aegina and Zeus. This makes sense in terms of putting Patroclus and Achilles in the same generation. In that case, also, Aegina's sexual encounters with the greeatest of the gods would have remained inviolate, unless we consider the single account that she was the mother of Sinope (usually called her sister) by Ares. Even here she at least kept with the immortals for lovers. [Apollodorus 3.12.6; Pausanias 2.5.1; Scholiast on Apollonius Rhodius 436.]

CALYCE was a daughter of Aeolus and Enarete. Her family tree produced some of the greatest heroes and heroines in mythology, since her brothers were Cretheus, Sisyphus, Athamas, Salmoneus, Deion, Magnes, Perieres, and Macareus. She did well in her own right. She married Aethlius, son of Zeus and Protogeneia and grandson of Deucalion. By him she became the mother of the famous Endymion, who was not only the lover of the moon goddess Selene but also king of Elis and ancestor of the Aetolians, Epeians, and Paeonians. By report, she had 50 half-immortal granddaughters by the union of Selene with her sleeping son, but this phenomenon is discussed elsewhere. [Apollodorus 1.7.2,3.5; Pausanias 5.1.2,8.1, 10.31.2.]

By Amythaon she became the mother of sons Bias and Melampus, and a daughter Aeolia. She was sometimes called Aglaia or Dorippe. Amythaon migrated to Messenia and settled at the court of Neleus, his half-brother. He started the Olympic games after the sons of Pelops left Elis. He went back to Thessaly to greet Jason when his nephew appeared at the court of Pelias. Bias and Melampus went on to become joint rulers in Argos because they were able to cure the insanity of the daughters of Proetus.

According to some, Cepheus and Phineus were also sons of Achiroe and Belus. According to one writer, Ares begot by her a son, Sithon, who became a king in Thrace and had two daughters, Rhoeteia and Pallene. At this point, things become a little muddled, since Egypt and Thrace are quite far apart. Not only that, but at least one writer called Rhoeteia and Pallene sisters of Sithon, not daughters. According to still another writer, Pallene was his daughter by Achiroe(!). It is quite reasonable to assume ther might have been two Achiroes--one Egyptian and the other Macedonian--and that the Macedonian one was the mother, not the lover, of Sithon.

When Perseus cut off Medusa's head, Chrysaor and Pegasus came forth, Chrysaor brandishing a golden sword. Perhaps he was not particularly monstrous-looking when he mated with Callirrhoe; the Oceanides usually managed to have presentable fathers for their children. However, the offspring from this union reverted to the type represented by their grandmother Medusa. Geryones was three-headed, and Echidna had a serpentine lower body. Both these monsters figured in the stories of Heracles. Callirrhoe had more normal children by other men.

    ADMETE (2) was the daughter of Eurystheus and Antimache or Admete. Eurystheus, cousin of Heracles, succeede to the throne of Mycenae by being born before Heracles through Hera's manipulation. He also was in charge of selecting the labors Heracles had to perform as penance for the murder of Megara and his children by her. It was at the insistence of Admete that Heracles was required to perform his ninth labor. Hippolyte, queen of the Amazons, posessed a magnificent girdle, or belt, given to her by Ares. Admete had heard about this splendid belt and had always longed to own it, so she persuaded Eurystheus to have it brought to her as one of Heracles' labors. Heracles was therefore sent to fetch it and, accompanied by a number of volunteers, he sailed out. According to one writer, Admete accompanied him on this expedition. In another tradition, Admete was originally a priestess of Hera at Argos. She fled with the image of the goddess to Samos. The Argives hired pirates to bring the image back, but the ship on which they loaded the image would not move out of the harbor. They unloaded it and left. When the Samians found it, they tied it to a tree, but Admete purified the image and restored it to the temple of Samos. The Samians celebrated an annual festival, Tonea, to commemorate this event. It is likely that this story was invented by the Argives to prove their worship of Hera was older than that of Samos. It is curious that Admete was selected as the motivator, unless her status as a princess gave a special prestige to the Argive claim. In other respects, the office of priestess seems incongruous with an obviously spoi8led daughter who sent a cousin on a perilous mission for the sake of personal vanity.

    AEROPE (2) was the daughter of Cepheus and by Ares the mother of a son, Aeropus. She died at the moment she gave birth to the child; Ares, wishing to save it, caused the child to derive milk from the breast of its dead mother. This wounder gave rise to the surname, Aphneius (Abundant). Under this name Ares had a temple on Mount Cresius near Tegea.

    ELECTRA was a daughter of Atlas and Pleione, and one of the seven Pleiades. Her story is a confusing one. Zeus fell in love with her and carried her to Olympus, a rather daring thing to do, considering the perennial jealousy of Hera. He succeeded in raping her, but she managed to escape in midrape and as a suppliant embraced the sacred Palladium, which Athena had establishe. Since she had been sullied, the divinity of her attacker notwithsanding, she was considered a defiler of the sacred object, and it was hurled from Olympus to land in Ilium (Troy), where it was revered as the city's principal security. Through her unwelcome encouter with the father of the gods, she became the mother of Iasion and Dardanus. They must have been twins, although this fact was never particularly emphasized. (According to an Italian version of her story, she was the wife of Corythus, king of Tuscia, and had Iasion by him and Dardanus later by Zeus.) When Dardanus and Iasion migrated to Samothrace from Arcadia (or Italy or Crete), they carried the Palladium with them. This is contrary to the story of its celestial origin, but there might have been two such images. Electra appears to have followed or accompanied her sons, for we find her on Samothrace. She was even said to have been the mother of Harmonia by Zeus in Samothrace, although Harmonia is nearly always called the daughter of Aphrodite and Ares. In keeping, though, with the accounts of the origin of the Samothracian mysteries, the presence of Harmonia appeared to be called for in establishing a connection between the Samothracian and Theban Cabeiri. It seems hardly likely that Electra voluntarily would have submitted Zeus after her first unfortunate experience with him. Thoroughly instructed in the mysteries by Demeter, his lover, Iasion passed on their knowledge to numerous heroes. He later married Cybele, according to some. Dardanus went to the Troad and was hospitably received by Teucer, the king of the region, who gave him part of the kingdom and his daughter Bateia. He built the city of Dardania (later Troy) and initiated the inhabitants into the mysteries of the gods of Samothrace. He introduce3d the cult of Cybele into Phrygia. Electra went with him to the Troad, and she brought the Palladium along from Samothrace. Again we have a conflicting account. Here is the very person who allegedly contaminated the Olympian Palladium, so that it was cast out of heaven, now bringing it to the city whose site was determined by the landing place in the earlier account. Apparently there needed to be an explanation fror the introduction of the mysteries into Troy. Although the Palladium was connected with Athena, who had no strong role in the mysteries, its function of guaranteeing the safety of the city was perhaps given more credibility by having Dardanus and Electra heavily involved in worship of the Cabeiri. Electra remained in Troy until its fall, according to some writers. Even though the Pleiades had a kind of second-class immortality, being daughters of a Titan, this would have made Electra well over 100 years old. According to the story, she watched the city founded by her son perishing in flames and tore out her hair in grief; she was placed among the stars as a comet. Other accounts say she and her sisters were already among the stars as the seven Pleiades and that Electra's brilliancy dimmed when Ilium was destroyed. [Apollodorus 3.10.1, 12.1.3; Servius on Virgil's Aeneid 1.32,384, 2.325, 3.167, 7.207, 10.272; Tzetzes on Lycophron 29; Diodorus Siculus 5.48; Scholiast on Euripides' Phoenician Maidens 1136; Eustathius on Homer's Iliad 1155.]

    HARMONIA, one of the inspired conceptions of some long-forgotten writer, was a tribute to the ability of the Greeks to create an ideal balance. She was the daughter of Love (Aphrodite) and War (Ares). Her brothers were Deimos (Terror) and Phobos (Fear), both mainly thought of in terms of war. Again, as if to balance things, some called Eros and Anteros full brothers as well, but in any case they were half-brothers. After Cadmus founded Thebes, Zeus gave him Harmonia as a wife. This was a union favored by all the gods and goddesses of Olympus, especially Athena, who was the self-appointed protectress of Cadmus. All the Olympians attended the wedding, and rich presents were give, the most opulent being a necklace of exquisite design studded with precious stones. Fashioned for him by Hephaestus, the was the groom's gift to the bride, along with a handsome peplus, or robe. Some said the necklace was presented to her by Aphrodite or Athena. Some said Cadmus had received it from his sister Europa, who had earlier received it from Zeus, but this would make no sense, since Cadmus never saw Europa again after her abduction. In fact, his fruitless search for her had resulted in his founding Thebes. This beautiful jewelry, whatever its origin, came with a curse as it was passed from generation to generation. The results of its attraction culminated in the battle of the Seven against Thebes and the subsequent campaign of the Epigoni. Even in Harmonia's possession, its virulence seemed to spread like poison over the family. The children of Harmonia by Cadmus were Autonoe, Ino, Semele, Agave, and Polydorus. While they were small, Harmonia seemed to lead a rather idyllic life. Undeniably immortal herself, she spent time in the company of other immortals such as the Charites (Graces), Hebe (the goddess of youth), the Horae (Seasons), the Muses, Apollo, and her mother Aphrodite. Some even claimed that the Charites were her daughters by Zeus, who was already her grandfather and later would become her son-in-law as well. The mellow life enjoyed by Harmonia came to an end when her daughters grew up. Ino's husband went insane and tried to kill her, but she leapt into the sea and became a sea divinity. Autonoe married the god Aristaeus, but he left her when their son Actaeon was turned into a stag, then killed and eaten by his hunting dogs. Semele was burned alive when she forced her lover Zeus to appear to her in his full splendor. He managed to save the child she was carrying, which turned out to be Dionysus. This grandchild did not help things when later he converted his aunts to his worship. One day the three of them got drunk and, mistaking him for a wild beast, tore Agave's son, Pentheus, apart with their bare hands. Only Polydorus, the son, turned out reasonably well, if we do not dwell on the fact that he was the great-grandfather of Oedipus. Cadmus and Harmonia left Thebes even before the death of Pentheus. Their leaving has never been explained; perhaps the tragedies of the other daughters caused them to go to a remote place. There was a prophecy among the Enchelean people in northern Greece that if Cadmus would lead them against their enemies, the Illyrians, the would be victorious. Cadmus did so, and the prophecy was fulfilled. He and Harmonia then ruled in Illyria. Although grandparents, they produced another son, Illyrius. Afterward, the gods changed them into dragons and transported them to Elysium, or the Isles of the Blessed. A variation of this account calls Harmonia the daughter of Zeus and Electra, daughter of Atlas. She was therefore sister to Dardanus and Iasion. She and her brothers lived on the island of Samothrace, where they had gone from Arcadia. When Cadmus went there searching for Europa, he fell in love with Harmonia. In this version also, the gods smiled on the marriage and attended the wedding celebration on Samothrace. Then Cadmus took Harmonia to Thebes, and the two stories merged at that point. The second version might have arisen in conjunction with the strong Cabeirian influence in Theban worship (the Cabeiri were the divinities worshipped on the islands of Lemnos and Samothrace). Dardanus and Iasion taught the mysteries in the Aegean and Asia Minor, and it would seem appropriate that Harmonia introduced them on the Greek mainland. [Apollodorus 3.4.2,5.4; Diodorus Siculus 1.68,4.48; Pindar, Pythian Odes 3.94,167; Statius, Thebaid 2.266; Euripides, Bacchanals 1233,1350; Ovid, Metamorphoses 4.562-602; Pausanias 9.5.1,12.3; Hyginus, Fables 6,184,240; Ptolemaeus Hephaestion 1; Apollonius Rhodius 4.517.]

    STEROPE was one of the Pleiades, daughter of Atlas and Pleione. Like her sister Merope she married a mortal. He was Oenomaus, son of Ares and Harpinna, and king of Pisa in Elis. Sterope's children by Oenomaus were Leucippus, Hippodameia, and Alcippe. One writer also listed Dysponteus, who founded the city of Dyspontium. Sterope suffered the loss of Leucippus. He fell in love with a nymph who followed Artemis. He could find no other way to be near her, so he dressed as a maiden and became close friends with her. He was found out, however, and killed by her companions. Alcippe married Euenus, who unhappily imitated his father-in-law and forced contenders for the hand of their daughter Marpessa to compete with him in a chariot race. When Hippodameia grew up, reports of her beauty attracted many suitors. Oenomaus took a dim view of the, since he was in love with his daughter. We do not know whether or not Sterope was aware of this development. Onenomaus agreed to give Hippodameia to anyone who could beat him in a chariot race, but the price of losing was death to the contender. In spite of the grim probability of death, about 20 young men came forward and failed. Sterope and her daughters must have been horrified by the severed heads of recent losers strung over the doorway. Finally Pelops defeated Oenomaus, who died in the contest. He married Hippodameia and assumed Oenomaus' kindom. That meant that Sterope had a choice of remaining with them or going elsewhere. It is difficult to consider Sterope's story as Oenomaus' wife together with the story of the collective Pleiades, who were said by some to have been changed into doves when pursued by Orion or into stars as a result of grief for their father's punishment by Zeus. Several other Pleiades had independent lives as well, so their metamorphosis must be considered as having come about after their separate careers had ended. Sterope was called by some the mother of Oenomaus by Ares, which would have concurred with the statement that only one of the Pleiades married a mortal. To support this contention, the wife of Oenomaus was by some called Euarete or Eurythoe. [Apollodorus 3.10.1; Pausanias 5.10.5,22.5, 6.21.6.]

ACACALLIS was a daughter of Minos and Pasiphae. While she has not shared the fame of her sisters Ariadne and Phaedra, she did lead a most interesting life. She had children by the two handsomest of the Olympian gods and even by the father of the gods. Acacallis was Apollo's first love. With his sister Artemis he came to Tarrha from Aegialae on the mainland for purification after slaying the moster Python. Apollo stayed at the house of Carmanor, where he found Acacallis, a maternal relative of Carmanor; it was not long until he seduced her. Some say Minos banished Acacallis to Libya, where she became the mother of Ammon by Zeus. By Apollo she had two more sons, Amphithemis and Garamas. Amphithemis became the father of Nasamon and Caphaurus, or Cephalion, by the nymph Tritonis. Of Garamas little is known. Some say he was born in Libya when Acacallis fled there, but others say he was the first man ever to be born and therefore from a much earlier era. Acacallis became the mother of Cydon by Hermes (others say the father was Apollo, and still others that it was Tegeates). Cydon grew up to found the town of Cydonia (modern Hania) in Crete. Some say that Acacallis had still another son (no father mentioned), Oaxus, or Oaxes, in Crete. Others say he was a son of Apollo by Anchiale. In Crete Acacallis was a common name for narcissus. Apollodorus (3.1.2) calls this daughter of Minos Acalle. [Pausanias 7.2.3, 8.53.2; Plutarch, Agis 9; Apollonius Rhodius 4.1490; Apollodorus 3.1.2; Stephanus Byzantium, "Oaxos"; Athenaeus 15.681; Hesychius, "Akakallis."]
Helios [FAMILY.FTW]

AEGA, or Aegia, is one of those persons of ancient myth whose identity is obscured by variant versions of a story. According to one tradition, she was a daughter of Olenus, son of Hephaestus, and sister of Helice. The sisters are said to have nursed Zeus in Crete, and Aega was later changed by him into the constellation Capella. Another tradition made her the daughter of Melisseus, king of Crete, and she was chosen to suckle the infant Zeus. She could not manage this, so the goat Amaltheia was brought into service. Still others say that Aega was a daughter of Helios and, as the daughter of the sun, dazzling in appearance. She therefore frightened the Titans who were assailing Olympus, and they begged Gaea, their mother, the earth, to remove her from their sight. Gaea accordingly confined her in a cave in Crete, and there she became the nurse of Zeus. Later on, while fighting Titans, Zeus was commanded by an oracle to cover himself with Aega's skin (aegis); he did so and raised her among the stars. So, even with three separate fathers assigned by different writers, we can see that in all the stories Aega was regarded as a nurse of Zeus. No attempt seems to be made to combine her office in this matter with the services of Adrasteia and Ida, who are usually called the nurses of Zeus (they too were daughters of Melisseus).
The entity of Aega, like that of Amaltheia, seems to be confused between human being and goat. One would hope that it was the goat identity from which Zeus obtained his aegis. By some kind of mythological teleportation Aega became the wife of Arcadian Pan. Never missing an opportunity, Zeus became the father of Aegipan by her, although some claim that Zeus coupled with a goat to produce him. Again there is this strong identification with goats, and it is probably safe to say that the name Aega was translated as "goat," even though some have contended that "gale of wind" might be better, since the rise of the constellation Capella brings storms and tempests. [Hyginus, Poetic Astronomy 2.13; Aratus, Phenomena 150.]

AEGLE (1), the most beautiful of the Naiades, was the daughter of Zeus and Neara. According to some, by Helios she was the mother of the Charites, but their mother more often was called Eurynome.
[Virgil, Eclogues 6.20; Pausanias 9.35.5.]

AEGLE (2) was a sister of Phaethon, and daughter of Helios and Clymene. In her grief at the death of her brother she and her sister Heliadae were changed into poplars. [Hyginus, Fables 154,156.]

AEGLE (5) was one of the daughters of Asclepius by Lampetia, the daughter of Helios, or by Epione. Her name means "Brightness" or "Splendor," and she might have personified the glowing healthfulness of the human body. At least, with the exception of Podaleirius and Machaon, her other brothers and sisters seemed to be personifications of the powers ascribed to their father (e.g., Alexanor, Hygieia, Panaceia).

AETHERIA was a daughter of Helios and Clymene, and one of the Heliadae or Phaethontiades.

CELAENO was one of the Pleiades. By Poseidon she was the mother of Lycus and Eurypylus. According to some, she was mother of Lycus and Chimaereus by Prometheus, who was considered to be her husband. Others call her also mother of Triton, but that distinction is usually Amphitrite's. Nothing is known of Lycus except that he was transferred by his father to the Isles of the Blessed. Eurypylus was among the heroes of Hyria. He went to Cyrene in Libya, where he became connected with the Argonauts. It was he who gave Euphemus a clod of earth when the Argonauts passed through Lake Tritonis. Possession of this clod later established the right to rule over Libya. Eurypylus was married to Sterope, the daughter of Helios, by whom he became the father of Lycaon and Leucippus. [Apollodorus 3.10.1; Ovid, Heroides 19.135; Scholiast on Apollonius Rhodius 4.1561; Tzetzes on Lycophron 132,902.]

CLYMENE was one of the Oceanides, a daughter of Oceanus and Tethys. By her uncle Iapetus she was the mother of Atlas, Prometheus, Menoetius, and Epimetheus. Iapetus was regarded as the ancestor of the human race, although it was his son Prometheus who fashioned men out of clay. It is to be expected that there was confusion in the genealogies of the beings involved in setting up the world. Clymene was also called the mother by Prometheus of Hellen and Deucalion. This mother/son liason would not be particularly usual in the confusing descent of the gods, but Prometheus' wife was usually called Celaeno. Somewhere along the way, probably after the confinement of Iapetus in Tartarus with other Titans, Clymene married Merops, a king of the Ethiopians. Clymene was unfaithful to him and gave herself to her cousin (and brother-in-law) Helios, the sun. By him she had the Heliades and Phaethon.
Clymene's children were pivotal in the contest of the gods against the Titans and in the development of the human race. Atlas and Menoetius were both punished for their roles in the conflict with the Olympians. Atlas was condemned to bear the heavens on his head and shoulders, but not before he became father of the Pleiades, the Hyades, the Hesperides, and other beings. Menoetius was struck by Zeus with a thunderbolt and thrown into Tartarus. Prometheus and Epimetheus were the parents of Deucalion and Pyrrha, respectively, and these offspring were responsible for repopulating the earth after the great flood. For going contrary to the will of Zeus in regard to the human race, Prometheus was punished atop Mount Caucasus by having his liver pecked out daily by an eagle and having it restored each successive day. Pandora, the wife of Epimetheus, let loose all the troubles of the world by opening a forbidden chest. Phaethon, the son of Clymene and Helios, almost caused the destruction of the world. He begged his father to let him drive the chariot of the sun across heaven. He proved too weak to handle the dazzling horses, and the chariot fell toward the earth. Zeus struck him from the chariot, and he plummeted to earth. Helios recovered the reins in time to keep the earth from burning to a cinder. Phaethon's mother was also called Merope, Prote, or Rhode. [Hesiod, Theogony 351,507; Hyginus, Fables 156; Apollodorus 1.2.3; Ovid, Metamorphoses 1.763, Tristia 3.4.30.]

    A very handsome man. He was killed by Zeus with a thunderbold, as some say because of his love affair with Demeter.

    ELECTRA was a daughter of Atlas and Pleione, and one of the seven Pleiades. Her story is a confusing one. Zeus fell in love with her and carried her to Olympus, a rather daring thing to do, considering the perennial jealousy of Hera. He succeeded in raping her, but she managed to escape in midrape and as a suppliant embraced the sacred Palladium, which Athena had establishe. Since she had been sullied, the divinity of her attacker notwithsanding, she was considered a defiler of the sacred object, and it was hurled from Olympus to land in Ilium (Troy), where it was revered as the city's principal security. Through her unwelcome encouter with the father of the gods, she became the mother of Iasion and Dardanus. They must have been twins, although this fact was never particularly emphasized. (According to an Italian version of her story, she was the wife of Corythus, king of Tuscia, and had Iasion by him and Dardanus later by Zeus.) When Dardanus and Iasion migrated to Samothrace from Arcadia (or Italy or Crete), they carried the Palladium with them. This is contrary to the story of its celestial origin, but there might have been two such images. Electra appears to have followed or accompanied her sons, for we find her on Samothrace. She was even said to have been the mother of Harmonia by Zeus in Samothrace, although Harmonia is nearly always called the daughter of Aphrodite and Ares. In keeping, though, with the accounts of the origin of the Samothracian mysteries, the presence of Harmonia appeared to be called for in establishing a connection between the Samothracian and Theban Cabeiri. It seems hardly likely that Electra voluntarily would have submitted Zeus after her first unfortunate experience with him. Thoroughly instructed in the mysteries by Demeter, his lover, Iasion passed on their knowledge to numerous heroes. He later married Cybele, according to some. Dardanus went to the Troad and was hospitably received by Teucer, the king of the region, who gave him part of the kingdom and his daughter Bateia. He built the city of Dardania (later Troy) and initiated the inhabitants into the mysteries of the gods of Samothrace. He introduce3d the cult of Cybele into Phrygia. Electra went with him to the Troad, and she brought the Palladium along from Samothrace. Again we have a conflicting account. Here is the very person who allegedly contaminated the Olympian Palladium, so that it was cast out of heaven, now bringing it to the city whose site was determined by the landing place in the earlier account. Apparently there needed to be an explanation fror the introduction of the mysteries into Troy. Although the Palladium was connected with Athena, who had no strong role in the mysteries, its function of guaranteeing the safety of the city was perhaps given more credibility by having Dardanus and Electra heavily involved in worship of the Cabeiri. Electra remained in Troy until its fall, according to some writers. Even though the Pleiades had a kind of second-class immortality, being daughters of a Titan, this would have made Electra well over 100 years old.

Acacallis became the mother of Cydon by Hermes (others say the father was Apollo, and still others that it was Tegeates). Cydon grew up to found the town of Cydonia (modern Hania) in Crete. Some say that Acacallis had still another son (no father mentioned), Oaxus, or Oaxes, in Crete. Others say he was a son of Apollo by Anchiale. In Crete Acacallis was a common name for narcissus. Apollodorus (3.1.2) calls this daughter of Minos Acalle. [Pausanias 7.2.3, 8.53.2; Plutarch, Agis 9; Apollonius Rhodius 4.1490; Apollodorus 3.1.2; Stephanus Byzantium, "Oaxos"; Athenaeus 15.681; Hesychius, "Akakallis."]

MAIA was the eldest of the Pleiades. As daughter of Atlas and Pleione, she was sometimes called either Atlantis or Pleias. One account called her a daughter of Atlas and Sterope, his own daughter. She was visited in a cave on Mount Cyllene in Arcadia by Zeus and became the mother of Hermes, one of the Olympian gods. He was surnamed Cyllenius from his birthplace. That is the extent of what we know of Maia. After Zeus had his affair with Callisto and she was changed into a bear, the baby, Arcas, was carried to Maia to be brought up. In a manner of speaking, he was her stepson, but so were scores of other sons of Zeus. Maia is famous through her son, for her presence is felt in the nursery adventures of the god of thieves. Hermes escaped from his cradle and went to Pieria, carrying off some of Apollo's oxen, but was forgiven when he invented the lyre from a tortoise shell. He became the messenger of the other gods, and was notorious for his ingenuity and cunning. We lose sight of Maia after Hermes became adult. She was not even mentioned in the upbringing of Dionysus, in which Hermes took a part. The Romans had a divinity called Maia, or Majesta, who was sometimes considered the wife of Vulcan, largely because a priest of Vulcan offered a sacrifice to her on May 1. Later, she became identified with the Greek Maia and was called the mother of Mercury. [Homeric Hymn to Hermes 3,17; Hesiod, Theogony 938; Apollodorus 3.10.2,8.2; Horace, Odes 1.10.1, 2.42; Macrobius, Saturnalia 1.12; Gellius 13.22; Servius on Virgil's Aeneid 8.130; Pausanias 8.17.1.]

MEROPE was one of the Pleiades. In the constellation of the Pleiades she is the seventh and least visible star because she was ashamed of having had intercourse with a mortal man. This mortal was Sisyphus, and Merope should have been ashamed not so much that he was mortal but because of the type of mortal he was. He was the son of Aeolus and Enarete, and brother of Cretheus, Athamas, Salmoneus, Deion, Magnes, Perieres, and Macareus. He eventually reigned in Corinth, since Medea gave him the sovereignty when she left. He promoted commerce and helped make the city important. He was of bad character however, as Merope was soon to discover. She bore him Glaucus, Ornytion, Thersander, and Halmus. Sisyphus meanwhile had twin sons by his niece Tyro, but she killed them at their birth. Of Merope's sons we know Glaucus best, not only as the father of Bellerophon but also as the breeder of flesh-eating mares. When Sisyphus was on his deathbed, he begged Merope not to bury him. She complied, and when he got to the underworld he complained that he was neglected and needed to return to the upper world to punish his wife. Once there he refused to return, and Hermes, transporter of the dead, had to carry him back by force. [Apollodorus 1.9.3,3.10.1; Ovid, Fasti 4.175; Homer, Iliad 6.153; Eustathius on Homer's Iliad 1155; Pausanias 2.4.3, 6.20.9, 9.34.5; Hyginus, Fables 60.]


PANDORA over the centuries has become a kind of equivalent of Eve, the first created woman. Much blame was assigned to both because of a foolish mistake (provided we remove the element of destiny). Pandora, whose name literally meant All Gifts, came into being when Zeus had her created by the master artisan Hephaestus to punish Prometheus for stealing fire from heaven. Right there we have an anomaly, since the theft of fire presupposed an already existing population of the earth. But perhaps only males existed at that point, and Zeus had other ideas for propagation. It is interesting that he saw the creation of a woman as a punishment. Whatever the reason, Pandora was created as the first woman, and all the gods came forward to endow her with gifts. Aphrodite gave her beauty, Hermes gave her cunning, and other gods and goddesses gave her various powers that Zeus had calculated to bring about the ruin of man. Finally he had Hermes deliver her to Epimetheus, the not-so-bright brother of Prometheus. Epimetheus was utterly charmed by this marvelous creation, although he had been warned by Prometheus never to accept a gift from Zeus. He forgot his promise to his brother to think before acting, because Aphrodite's gift had certainly included the ability of Pandora to give her husband ultimate sexual pleasure. Life was happy for Pandora and especially so for Epimetheus. But already destiny was at work. In the house was a covered earthen vessel (or box or chest) that either had been placed in the safekeeping of Epimetheus or given to Pandora along with other gifts. In either case it was forbidden to open it. But its unknown contents plagued Pandora (she had been given curiosity along with everything else). One day while Epimetheus was away, she could stand the temptation no longer and peeked into the vessel. She found out soon enough why she should not have opened the pot, for out swarmed all the calamities of mankind--from tidal waves to premature balding. It was too late to stop them as they spread out through the window and across the world. Pandora dropped the lid back in time to prevent the excape of the final occupant of the vessel. This was Elpis, and no matter how bad things became for people then and in the future, there was always hope. Pandora became the mother of Pyrrha by Epimetheus. Pyrrha married Deucalion, son of Prometheus, and these two people repopulated the earth when Zeus, finally disgusted with man, sent a flood to wipe out the human race. There is no record of Pandora's final history. It is not really certain whether or not she was considered immortal. In later writings she became associated with infernal divinities such as Hecate, Persephone, and the Erinyes.
In one or two versions of the allegory, Pandora brought the fatal vessel Epimetheus and, using her newly fashioned wiles, prevaied upon him to open it. It is interesting to observe the parallel of this story to that of Eve in the garden of Eden urging Adam to taste the forbidden apple. Some said the vessel contained only benefits for mankind, but these were allowed to escape. In any case, the result was intended to be the same. The birth of Pandora was represented on the pedestal of the statue of Athena in the Parthenon. [Hesiod, Theogony 571, Works and Days 30,50,96; Hyginus, Fables 142; Apollodorus 1.7.2; Ovid, Metamorphoses 1.350; Orphica, Argonautica 974.]

PLEIONE was one of the Oceanides and mother of the Pleiades by Atlas. Atlas was the son of Iapetus and Clymene, and leader of the Titans in the war against Zeus and the Olympians. He was condemned to bear the heavens on his head and shoulders. Pleione had to share him with Aethra, who according to some, became the mother of the Hyades and Hesperides by him. He had children by other women as well. The Pleiades mated with gods for the most part, but interestingly only one of Pleione's grandchildren--Hermes--was one of the immortal Olympian gods. An interesting question might be why he was different, since Zeus, his father, had sons by two of the other Pleiades. [Apollodorus 3.10.1; Diodorus Siculus 4.27; Scholiast on Homer's Iliad 18.486, Odyssey 5.272; Hyginus, Fables 192,248.]

Sterope [FAMILY.FTW]

EURYTHOE was a daughter of Danaus and, according to some, the mother of Hippodameia by Oenomaus. Hippodameia's mother was more frequently called Sterope. [Apollonius Rhodius 1.752; Tzetzes on Lycophron 156.]

STEROPE was one of the Pleiades, daughter of Atlas and Pleione. Like her sister Merope she married a mortal. He was Oenomaus, son of Ares and Harpinna, and king of Pisa in Elis. Sterope's children by Oenomaus were Leucippus, Hippodameia, and Alcippe. One writer also listed Dysponteus, who founded the city of Dyspontium. Sterope suffered the loss of Leucippus. He fell in love with a nymph who followed Artemis. He could find no other way to be near her, so he dressed as a maiden and became close friends with her. He was found out, however, and killed by her companions. Alcippe married Euenus, who unhappily imitated his father-in-law and forced contenders for the hand of their daughter Marpessa to compete with him in a chariot race. When Hippodameia grew up, reports of her beauty attracted many suitors. Oenomaus took a dim view of the, since he was in love with his daughter. We do not know whether or not Sterope was aware of this development. Onenomaus agreed to give Hippodameia to anyone who could beat him in a chariot race, but the price of losing was death to the contender. In spite of the grim probability of death, about 20 young men came forward and failed. Sterope and her daughters must have been horrified by the severed heads of recent losers strung over the doorway. Finally Pelops defeated Oenomaus, who died in the contest. He married Hippodameia and assumed Oenomaus' kindom. That meant that Sterope had a choice of remaining with them or going elsewhere. It is difficult to consider Sterope's story as Oenomaus' wife together with the story of the collective Pleiades, who were said by some to have been changed into doves when pursued by Orion or into stars as a result of grief for their father's punishment by Zeus. Several other Pleiades had independent lives as well, so their metamorphosis must be considered as having come about after their separate careers had ended. Sterope was called by some the mother of Oenomaus by Ares, which would have concurred with the statement that only one of the Pleiades married a mortal. To support this contention, the wife of Oenomaus was by some called Euarete or Eurythoe. [Apollodorus 3.10.1; Pausanias 5.10.5,22.5, 6.21.6.]
~1060 - 1107 Roger de Bigod 47 47 Earl of Norfolk 2nd

The first of this great family that settled in England was Roger Bigod who, in the Conqueror's time, possessed six lordships in Essex and a hundred and seventeen in Suffolk, besides divers manors in Norfolk. This Roger, adhering to the party that took up arms against William Rufus in the 1st year of that monarch's reign, fortified the castle at Norwich and wasted the country around. At the accession of Henry I, being a witness of the king's laws and staunch in his interests, he obtained Framlingham in Suffolk as a gift from the crown. We find further of him that he founded in 1103, the abbey of Whetford, in Norfolk, and that he was buried there at his decease in four years after, leaving, by Adeliza his wife, dau. and co-heir of Hugh de Grentesmesnil, high steward of England, a son and heir, William Bigod, steward of the household of King Henry I. [Sir Bernard Burke, Dormant, Abeyant, Forfeited, and Extinct Peerages, Burke's Peerage, Ltd., London, 1883, p. 53, Bigod, Earls of Norfolk]

----------

Roger Bigod was one of the tight-knit group of second-rank Norman nobles who did well out of the conquest of England. Prominent in the Calvados region before 1064 as an under-tenant of Odo of Bayeux, he rose in ducal and royal service to become, but 1086, one of the leading barons in East Anglia, holding wide estates to which he added Belvoir by marriage and Framlingham by grant of Henry I. His territorial fortune was based on his service in the royal household, where he was a close adviser and agent for the first three Norman kings, and the propitious circumstances of post-Conquest politics. Much of his honour in East Anglia was carved out of lands previously belonging to the dispossessed Archbishop Stigand, his brother Aethelmar of Elham, and the disgraced Earl Ralph of Norfolk and Suffolk. Under Rufus --- if not before --- Roger was one of the king's stewards. Usually in attendance on the king, he regularly witnessed writs but was also sent out to the provinces as a justice or commissioner. Apart from a flirtation with the cause of Robert Curthose in 1088, he remained conspicuously loyal to Rufus and Henry I, for whom he continued to act as steward and to witness charters. The adherence of such men was vital to the Norman kings. Through them central business could be conducted and localities controlled. Small wonder they were well rewarded. Roger established a dynasty which dominated East Anglia from the 1140s, as earls of Norfolk, until 1306. Roger's byname and the subsequent family name was derived from a word (bigot) meaning double-headed instrument such as a pickaxe: a tribute, perhaps to Roger's effectiveness as a royal servant; certainly an apt image of one who worked hard both for his masters and for himself.

AEGLE (2) was a sister of Phaethon, and daughter of Helios and Clymene. In her grief at the death of her brother she and her sister Heliadae were changed into poplars. [Hyginus, Fables 154,156.]

CLYMENE was one of the Oceanides, a daughter of Oceanus and Tethys. By her uncle Iapetus she was the mother of Atlas, Prometheus, Menoetius, and Epimetheus. Iapetus was regarded as the ancestor of the human race, although it was his son Prometheus who fashioned men out of clay. It is to be expected that there was confusion in the genealogies of the beings involved in setting up the world. Clymene was also called the mother by Prometheus of Hellen and Deucalion. This mother/son liason would not be particularly usual in the confusing descent of the gods, but Prometheus' wife was usually called Celaeno. Somewhere along the way, probably after the confinement of Iapetus in Tartarus with other Titans, Clymene married Merops, a king of the Ethiopians. Clymene was unfaithful to him and gave herself to her cousin (and brother-in-law) Helios, the sun. By him she had the Heliades and Phaethon.
Clymene's children were pivotal in the contest of the gods against the Titans and in the development of the human race. Atlas and Menoetius were both punished for their roles in the conflict with the Olympians. Atlas was condemned to bear the heavens on his head and shoulders, but not before he became father of the Pleiades, the Hyades, the Hesperides, and other beings. Menoetius was struck by Zeus with a thunderbolt and thrown into Tartarus. Prometheus and Epimetheus were the parents of Deucalion and Pyrrha, respectively, and these offspring were responsible for repopulating the earth after the great flood. For going contrary to the will of Zeus in regard to the human race, Prometheus was punished atop Mount Caucasus by having his liver pecked out daily by an eagle and having it restored each successive day. Pandora, the wife of Epimetheus, let loose all the troubles of the world by opening a forbidden chest. Phaethon, the son of Clymene and Helios, almost caused the destruction of the world. He begged his father to let him drive the chariot of the sun across heaven. He proved too weak to handle the dazzling horses, and the chariot fell toward the earth. Zeus struck him from the chariot, and he plummeted to earth. Helios recovered the reins in time to keep the earth from burning to a cinder. Phaethon's mother was also called Merope, Prote, or Rhode. [Hesiod, Theogony 351,507; Hyginus, Fables 156; Apollodorus 1.2.3; Ovid, Metamorphoses 1.763, Tristia 3.4.30.]

Prote Neleus Rhodos Amphitrite [FAMILY.FTW]

CELAENO was one of the Pleiades. By Poseidon she was the mother of Lycus and Eurypylus. According to some, she was mother of Lycus and Chimaereus by Prometheus, who was considered to be her husband. Others call her also mother of Triton, but that distinction is usually Amphitrite's. Nothing is known of Lycus except that he was transferred by his father to the Isles of the Blessed. Eurypylus was among the heroes of Hyria. He went to Cyrene in Libya, where he became connected with the Argonauts. It was he who gave Euphemus a clod of earth when the Argonauts passed through Lake Tritonis. Possession of this clod later established the right to rule over Libya. Eurypylus was married to Sterope, the daughter of Helios, by whom he became the father of Lycaon and Leucippus.

Doris Pontus Halia Clymenus ~1040 St. Saveur Megassares Pygmalion Pygmalion was a very talented sculptor in ancient Greece who loved his work, and would spend hours carving beautiful ivory statues, immersing himself in his art. One day, he chose a large, beautiful piece of ivory, and worked diligently at it, chiseling and hammering until he finished. It was a statue of a beautiful lady. Pygmalion thought it was so beautiful, he clothed the figure, gave it jewels, and named it Galatea (sleeping love). Pygmalion went to the temple of Aphrodite (Venus), the goddess of love and beauty to pray for a wife just like the statue in his home.  When Aphrodite heard him, she went to the home of he sculptor to see what all the fuss was about. She was delighted when she saw Galatea. She thought it looked a lot like herself, so she brought it to life. When the sculptor returned home, he found Galatea alive, and threw himself at her feet. Galatea smiled down at him. They soon got married, and Pygmalion didn?t forget to thank Aphrodite for his good fortune. He and Galatea brought gifts to her altar as long as they lived. Aphrodite blessed them with happiness and love in return. (http://www.pantheon.org/articles/p/pygmalion.html) Galateia Neleus [FAMILY.FTW]

EIDOMENE, or Idomene, was a daughter of Pheres, son of Cretheus and Tyro, and Periclymene. Her brothers were Admetus and Lycurgus, and her sister was Periapis. Pheres founded the town of Pherae in Thessaly. In one place Eidomene was referred to as the daughter of Abas. She married Amythaon, her uncle, thus becoming not only a cousin but also aunt of Jason, since Amythaon was brother to Aeson, Jason's father. By Amythaon she became the mother of sons Bias and Melampus, and a daughter Aeolia. She was sometimes called Aglaia or Dorippe. Amythaon migrated to Messenia and settled at the court of Neleus, his half-brother. He started the Olympic games after the sons of Pelops left Elis. He went back to Thessaly to greet Jason when his nephew appeared at the court of Pelias. Bias and Melampus went on to become joint rulers in Argos because they were able to cure the insanity of the daughters of Proetus. Melampus was able to accomplish the cure through his combined gift of prophecy and medical knowledge. Eidomene probably lived with her sons in Argos after Amythaon died and they had acquired their part of the kingdom.

AEROPE (1) was a daughter of Catreus, king of Crete, and granddaughter of Minos. From the very start, fortune did not smile one her. Catreus learned from an oracle that one of his children would kill him. His son Althaemenes left Crete voluntarily, taking with him one of his sisters, Apemosyne. The other two daughters, Clymene and Aerope, Catreus gave to Nauplius to sell in a foreign land. Nauplius married Clymene and gave Aerope to Pleisthenes, the son of Atreus. By him she became the mother of Agamemnon, Menelaus, and Anaxibia. Pleisthenes was sickly and died young; Atreus then married Aerope, and adopted and reared his grandchildren. Thyestes, the younger brother of Atreus, seduced Aerope. About the same time, the rule of Mycenae became available through the death of Eurystheus, and an oracle said a son of Pelops should be chosen king. Atreus had found in one of his flocks a lamb with golden fleece; istead of dedicating it to Artemis as he had promised, he hid the fleece in a chest. Aerope found it and secretly gave it to her lover. Thyestes proposed that the rule of Mycenae should go to the posessor of the fleece, and the unsuspecting Atreus readily agreed. So Thyestes was declared king, but the gods intervened. It was agreed that if the sun changed its course, Atreus would be king. Then the sun set in the east, and Thyestes' exceedingly short reign was over. So was his residence in Mycenae, since Atreus promptly exiled him for the theft of and deception about the golden fleece. Atreus found out about the adulterous affair and exacted a terrible revenge. He recalled Thyestes from exile, pretending to forgive him, but meanwhile he had killed Thyestes' three sons, Aglaus, Callileon, and Orchomenus. He had them dismembered, boiled, and served to Thyestes during a feast. After Thyestes had eaten, the grisly heads were brought in. One more Atreus drove Thyestes from the country, then turned his attention to Aerope, whom he drowned. Interestingly, this was a fate originally intended for her back in Crete, according to some, when she had been caught by her father in bed with a lover. Aerope is noteworthy not only for her tempestuous career but for being the blood link between the royal lines of Mycenae and Crete. Few people ever stop to consider that Agamemnon and Menelaus were great-grandsons of Minos and thereby second cousins of Idomeneus. This could even account for the entrance of Crete into the Trojan War. [Apollodorus 3.2.2; Euripides, Orestes 5, Helen 397; Hyginus, Fables 87.]

EURYTHEMISTRA, daughter of the river-god Xanthus in Lycia, was, according to some, the mother by Tantalus of Pelops, Niobe, and Broteas. Tantalus' wife was more often called Dione.

STEROPE was one of the Pleiades, daughter of Atlas and Pleione. Like her sister Merope she married a mortal. He was Oenomaus, son of Ares and Harpinna, and king of Pisa in Elis. Sterope's children by Oenomaus were Leucippus, Hippodameia, and Alcippe. One writer also listed Dysponteus, who founded the city of Dyspontium. Sterope suffered the loss of Leucippus. He fell in love with a nymph who followed Artemis. He could find no other way to be near her, so he dressed as a maiden and became close friends with her. He was found out, however, and killed by her companions. Alcippe married Euenus, who unhappily imitated his father-in-law and forced contenders for the hand of their daughter Marpessa to compete with him in a chariot race. When Hippodameia grew up, reports of her beauty attracted many suitors. Oenomaus took a dim view of the, since he was in love with his daughter. We do not know whether or not Sterope was aware of this development. Onenomaus agreed to give Hippodameia to anyone who could beat him in a chariot race, but the price of losing was death to the contender. In spite of the grim probability of death, about 20 young men came forward and failed. Sterope and her daughters must have been horrified by the severed heads of recent losers strung over the doorway. Finally Pelops defeated Oenomaus, who died in the contest. He married Hippodameia and assumed Oenomaus' kindom. That meant that Sterope had a choice of remaining with them or going elsewhere. It is difficult to consider Sterope's story as Oenomaus' wife together with the story of the collective Pleiades, who were said by some to have been changed into doves when pursued by Orion or into stars as a result of grief for their father's punishment by Zeus. Several other Pleiades had independent lives as well, so their metamorphosis must be considered as having come about after their separate careers had ended. Sterope was called by some the mother of Oenomaus by Ares, which would have concurred with the statement that only one of the Pleiades married a mortal. To support this contention, the wife of Oenomaus was by some called Euarete or Eurythoe. [Apollodorus 3.10.1; Pausanias 5.10.5,22.5, 6.21.6.]

AETHRA (2), one of the Oceanides, was the mother of the Hyades and Hesperides by Atlas. The Pleiades have also been called her daughters, although their mother is usually called Pleione, hence their name. [Ovid, Fasti 5.169; Eustathius on Homer's Iliad 1155.]

PLEIONE was one of the Oceanides and mother of the Pleiades by Atlas. Atlas was the son of Iapetus and Clymene, and leader of the Titans in the war against Zeus and the Olympians. He was condemned to bear the heavens on his head and shoulders. Pleione had to share him with Aethra, who according to some, became the mother of the Hyades and Hesperides by him. He had children by other women as well. The Pleiades mated with gods for the most part, but interestingly only one of Pleione's grandchildren--Hermes--was one of the immortal Olympian gods. An interesting question might be why he was different, since Zeus, his father, had sons by two of the other Pleiades.

AETHRA (1) was a daughter of Pittheus of Troezen and therefore sometimes called Pittheis. Pittheus was one of the sons of Pelops and therefore a brother of Atreus and Thyestes. His wife's name is never mentioned. We do know that Aethra had one sister, Henioche. Pittheus emigrated to this region of the Argolid peninsula with another brother, Troezen. Troezen incorporated the cities of Hyperes and Anthea into a single city, and the two brothers shared the reign with Aetius, who had inherited the throne from his father Anthas. Pittheus outlived the other two and became the sole ruler. He named the merged cities after his brother and founded there the temple of Apollo Theatius, said to be the oldest Greek temple. He was considered a wise king and was famous for his eloquence. He is said to have written a book on public speaking. When Aethra reached marriageable age she was courted by Bellerophon, but he was banished from Corinth before the nuptials could take place, and there was little hope of his return. Pittheus became concerned that his daughter might have trouble presenting him with an heir, so when Aegeus, king of Athens, paid a visit to Troezen, Pittheus contrived to bring Aegeus and Aethra together. Aegeus had been married twice but still was childless, probably, he decided, because of some slight to Aphrodite, whose worship he introduced at Athens by way of conciliation. He visited Delphi to consult the oracle about begetting heirs, and the Pythia gave him a characteristically obscure answer: "The bulging mouth of the wineskin, o best of men, loose not until thou hast reached the height of Athens." On his way back to Athens, he took a complicated detour by way of Troezen. He might have done so for two reasons. Along with other attributes, Pittheus had a reputation for being a seer and might therefore be able to interpret the oracle. Also, Pittheus had close relatives in Attica who might have talked about their spouseless royal cousin in Troezen. In any case, Aegeus was a guest at the palace and revealed to Pittheus the message of the oracle. Pittheus saw at once that the message said "Don't drink till you get home," and correctly interpreted it to carry the implicit complement "unless you want to father an illegitimate heir." The message he gave to Aegeus, however, probably did not go beyound telling him that he would become the father of a famous son. Pittheus proceeded to start his own prophecy in motion by getting Aegeus drunk and into Aethra's bed. Later in the night, Athena came to Aethra in a dream and told her to go to the tomb of Sphaerus, one of Pelops' charioteers, and pour libations.
Pandion II Pylia Pylas Henioche Cleson Lelex Pittheus Aethra Dia 1005 - 1035 Berenger Ramon 30 30 d.? 4/6/1035 Cadmus Harmonia HARMONIA, one of the inspired conceptions of some long-forgotten writer, was a tribute to the ability of the Greeks to create an ideal balance. She was the daughter of Love (Aphrodite) and War (Ares). Her brothers were Deimos (Terror) and Phobos (Fear), both mainly thought of in terms of war. Again, as if to balance things, some called Eros and Anteros full brothers as well, but in any case they were half-brothers. After Cadmus founded Thebes, Zeus gave him Harmonia as a wife. This was a union favored by all the gods and goddesses of Olympus, especially Athena, who was the self-appointed protectress of Cadmus. All the Olympians attended the wedding, and rich presents were give, the most opulent being a necklace of exquisite design studded with precious stones. Fashioned for him by Hephaestus, the was the groom's gift to the bride, along with a handsome peplus, or robe. Some said the necklace was presented to her by Aphrodite or Athena. Some said Cadmus had received it from his sister Europa, who had earlier received it from Zeus, but this would make no sense, since Cadmus never saw Europa again after her abduction. In fact, his fruitless search for her had resulted in his founding Thebes. This beautiful jewelry, whatever its origin, came with a curse as it was passed from generation to generation. The results of its attraction culminated in the battle of the Seven against Thebes and the subsequent campaign of the Epigoni. Even in Harmonia's possession, its virulence seemed to spread like poison over the family. The children of Harmonia by Cadmus were Autonoe, Ino, Semele, Agave, and Polydorus. While they were small, Harmonia seemed to lead a rather idyllic life. Undeniably immortal herself, she spent time in the company of other immortals such as the Charites (Graces), Hebe (the goddess of youth), the Horae (Seasons), the Muses, Apollo, and her mother Aphrodite. Some even claimed that the Charites were her daughters by Zeus, who was already her grandfather and later would become her son-in-law as well. The mellow life enjoyed by Harmonia came to an end when her daughters grew up. Ino's husband went insane and tried to kill her, but she leapt into the sea and became a sea divinity. Autonoe married the god Aristaeus, but he left her when their son Actaeon was turned into a stag, then killed and eaten by his hunting dogs. Semele was burned alive when she forced her lover Zeus to appear to her in his full splendor. He managed to save the child she was carrying, which turned out to be Dionysus. This grandchild did not help things when later he converted his aunts to his worship. One day the three of them got drunk and, mistaking him for a wild beast, tore Agave's son, Pentheus, apart with their bare hands. Only Polydorus, the son, turned out reasonably well, if we do not dwell on the fact that he was the great-grandfather of Oedipus. Cadmus and Harmonia left Thebes even before the death of Pentheus. Their leaving has never been explained; perhaps the tragedies of the other daughters caused them to go to a remote place. There was a prophecy among the Enchelean people in northern Greece that if Cadmus would lead them against their enemies, the Illyrians, the would be victorious. Cadmus did so, and the prophecy was fulfilled. He and Harmonia then ruled in Illyria. Although grandparents, they produced another son, Illyrius. Afterward, the gods changed them into dragons and transported them to Elysium, or the Isles of the Blessed. A variation of this account calls Harmonia the daughter of Zeus and Electra, daughter of Atlas. She was therefore sister to Dardanus and Iasion. She and her brothers lived on the island of Samothrace, where they had gone from Arcadia. When Cadmus went there searching for Europa, he fell in love with Harmonia. In this version also, the gods smiled on the marriage and attended the wedding celebration on Samothrace. Then Cadmus took Harmonia to Thebes, and the two stories merged at that point. The second version might have arisen in conjunction with the strong Cabeirian influence in Theban worship (the Cabeiri were the divinities worshipped on the islands of Lemnos and Samothrace). Dardanus and Iasion taught the mysteries in the Aegean and Asia Minor, and it would seem appropriate that Harmonia introduced them on the Greek mainland.

The following post to SGM, 17 Feb 2003, by Becky Thill is mostly about Gruffudd's brother Dafydd, who was a disastrous Prince of Cymru for 6 years, but it had the following excerpt on Gruffudd:

But Davydd was not the only son of Llywelyn. There had been another, Gruffydd, a handsome giant of a prince, born of a Cymric Mother. Llywelyn had weighed his two sons in his mind as to which would be the better ruler for the land. Davydd's mother was sister of the King of England - surely the King of England would be less the enemy of his nephew than of Gruffydd. So thought Llywelyn, and accordingly he made Davydd his heir; the one tragic mistake which undid all that he had accomplished in his own strenuous life. Gruffydd, with his turbulent valour, could not have brought his country lower than his brother's smoothness brought it. He might have saved it.
Davydd had handed over his brother Gruffydd to the King of England as a prisoner. The king sent him to the Tower of London. One night Gruffydd made a rope of his clothes and began to let himself down out of his window to escape. The rope broke, and Gruffydd was killed, his neck being broken by the fall. But he left four sons, Owen, Llywelyn, Davydd and Rhodri.
Owen and Llywelyn seized the crown of Gwynedd between them when their uncle Davydd died. Now King Henry claimed all the land as his own, for, amongst the rest of Davydd's doings, he had agreed that, if he died childless, Henry should be his heir and take the country. It would be hard to find words severe enough to describe such a transaction as that. [Flame-Bearers of Welsh History, "The Sons of Cunedda" by Owen Rhoscomyl, School Edition, 1905 The Welsh Ed. Pub.

"A New History of Ireland", however, shows her father as NIALL, brother of Mael-Sechnaill.  Fadern hette Murtough Mac Louglin, född som prinsessa. Finolas anor: Irish Princess Finola, fader Kung Muincherlock Mac Lochlainn, farfar Kung av Irland Niall O`Lochlainn, farfarsfar Kung av Irland Domhnall O`Lochlainn. (Källa: Börje Matsson)  The entry in the Chronicle of Mann is dated 1176 which describes Fhingola, dau. of MacLottlen, King of Ireland. Here we find Phingola married to Godred, with a son named Olave, who is said to be three years old. So one can assume their union was consumated at least by 1173. Women married very early in those days so I'm not sure we can even assume an age of 20 in 1173, but if so, we would have a possible birthdate of ca. 1150. These agree roughly with P.A.'s figures and could be adjusted back about 10 years. So it appears Phingola could have been a daughter of either Muirchertach, King of Ireland, or one of his sons. (Källa: Clann Lochlainn)  The Chronicle of the Kings of Man in 1176 states that Fionnuala was the daughter of Mac Lochlainn, son of Muircheartach the king of Ireland (surely meaning Muircheartach who was killed in 1166). So her father could be any of the sons of this king, being Niall, Maelsechlainn, Muircheartach and possibly others. (Källa: Sean Mac Lochlainn)  Godred II. married Phingola, daughter of MacLoughlin, a son of the great Murkartac O'Loughlin, King of Ulster, and Monarch of Ireland. This Irish princess belonged to a family associated with the endowment of religion ; and her marriage took place in 1177, at a period when the " hospital" as an institution to be established and endowed had a vogue in Ireland. Cardinal Vivian, the Papal Legate, was present in Man at Phingola's marriage, accompanied by Silvanus, Abbot of Rievault, who performed the marriage ceremony. ~1095 - 1153 Olaf Bitling 58 58 ~1120 Aufrica ~1040 - 1095 Godred III Crovan 55 55 Copied from Gen-Medieval/soc.genealogy.medieval by Stewart Baldwin at www.rootsweb.com/~medieval/man.htm:

The Ancestry of Godred Crovan

The ancestry of Godred Crovan (d. 1095), king of Dublin and Man, is not well documented, and there are differing opinions regarding his parentage and immediate ancestors. Rather than try to give a definitive solution to the problem, the basic evidence will be outlined, and several possible alternatives will be given, along with their strengths and weaknesses. Since the basic raw data is itself somewhat contradictory, none of the suggested alternatives will fit all of the primary evidence.

The basic raw data is as follows. First, the Annals of Tigernach [AT] for the year 1091 refer to him as the son of the son of Harald ["Goffraidh mac Maic Arailt, rí Atha Cliath."]. Then, there is the Chronicle of the Kings of Man [CRM], which states that Godred was the son of Harald the Black of "Ysland" (Iceland), without further identifying this Harald. Finally, there is the Welsh collection of Norse pedigrees in "Achau Brenhinoedd a Thywysogion Cymru" [ABT, in EWGT, pp. 95-110], which includes a genealogy of the kings of Man, as follows:

ABT.6c: Rhanallt m. Gwythryg m. Afloyd m. Gwrthryt mearch m. Harallt ddu m. Ifor gamle m. Afloyd m. Swtrig.

Changing the names from these Welsh forms to the more familiar English forms gives:

Reginald [king of Man, d. 14 Feb 1229], son of
Godred [king of Man, d. 10 Nov 1187], son of
Olaf [king of Man, d. 29 June 1153], son of
Godred [Crovan, king of Dublin and Man, d. 1095], son of
Harald ddu [i.e., the Black], son of
Ivar gamle [i.e., the Old], son of
Olaf [presumably Olaf Cuaran, king of Dublin and York], son of
Sitric [d. 927]

It may be that the above genealogy was composed during the reign of Reginald (d. 1229), since he is the latest person mentioned in the genealogy. There is no way of knowing whether copying mistakes were made between that time of composition and the surviving manuscripts.

We now list several possibilities regarding the ancestry of Godred Crovan, along with the strengths and weaknesses of each possibility (some of which are valid for more than one case, and are therefore repeated). While there are other scenarios which could be listed, they would seem less likely than the ones given below.

Possibility 1: The genealogy of ABT is to be accepted as it is.
Strengths: It requires no emendation of the genealogy in ABT. It agrees with the Chronicle of the kings of Man in making Godred the son of Harald "the Black".
Weaknesses: No son of Olaf Cuaran named Ivar is known from the Irish records. The generations are a bit long (but not drastically so). It disagrees with the Annals of Tigernach, which make Godred the grandson of a certain Harald.

Possibility 2: In the process of copying the pedigree, a "Harald" was accidently omitted between Ivar and Olaf Cuaran, so that the pedigree should read Godred son of Harald the Black son of Ivar son of Harald son of Olaf [Cuaran].
Strengths: Olaf Cuaran had a son named Harald, who in turn had a son named Ivar, both known from the Irish annals, so the agreement with the Irish annals would be excellent. It agrees with the Chronicle of the kings of Man in making Godred the son of Harald "the Black". The chronology fits better than Possibilities 1 and 3.
Weaknesses: It requires an emendation of the pedigree in ABT. It disagrees with the Annals of Tigernach, which make Godred the grandson of a certain Harald.

Possibility 3: In the process of copying the pedigree, Harald and Ivar were accidently switched, so that the pedigree should read Godred son of Ivar son of Harald son of Olaf [Cuaran].
Strengths: Olaf Cuaran had a son named Harald, who in turn had a son named Ivar, both known from the Irish annals, so the agreement with the Irish annals would be excellent. It agrees with the Annals of Tigernach, which call Godred the grandson of a certain Harald.
Weaknesses: It requires an emendation of the pedigree in ABT. The generations are a bit long (but not drastically so). It disagrees the the Chronicle of the kings of Man, which make Godred the son of Harald the Black.

Possibility 4: The pedigree in ABT is wrong, and Godred was not a descendant of Olaf Cuaran, but was instead descended somehow from the kings of the Isles who ruled in the late tenth and early eleventh centuries.
Strengths: It would explain Godred's claim to the kingship of Man. The known names used by the early dynasty of the kings of the Isles were Guthfrith (i.e., Godred), Harald, Lagman, Olaf, and Rognvald, which were exactly the names which were common in the family of Godred Crovan (including the rare name Lagman), so this possiblity has some onomastic support.
Weakness: It requires abandoning the manuscript genealogy of ABT, so there is no direct supporting evidence. The onomastic argument is mitigated somewhat by the fact that the names Guthfrith, Harald, Olaf, and Rognvald were all common among the Hiberno-Norse in general, so that only the rare name Lagman carries significant weight in the onomastic argument.

Before I was aware of the genealogy in ABT, I favored possibility 4. Now that I know about the ABT genealogy, I think Possibility 2 is the most likely one. However, I think that none of the four possibilities can be ruled out, given the currently known evidence.

translated to Beloved Warrior.
The Levering/Louvering family is probably descended from an ancient
Teutonic family, which entered England with William the Conqueror. The
family settled in Leverington, a large village, divided into the townships
of Leverington St. Leonards and Leverington Parson Drove, located in the
north end of Cambridgeshire, deep in the fens. Leverington is ninety-nine
miles north of London. The patriarch of the English family may have been
John De Levering, born about 1250 in Leverington; John's son was Robert,
born about 1280 in Leverington. In 1316 The family settled in Leverington,
a large village, divided into the townships of Leverington St. Leonards
and , Robert De Leveryng became a lessee of the Wisbech Barton Manor. This
is what some the some Genealogist think, that this family is English.

The Holland Origin:
Two books on the Levering family are "THE LEVERING FAMILY; or A
GENEALOGICAL ACCOUNT OF WIGARD LEVERING AND GERHARD LEVERING.Two of the
pioneer settlers of ROXBOROUGH TOWNSHIP, Philadelphia County,
(Pennsylvania) AND THEIR DESCENDANTS" by Horatio Gates Jones dated 1858
and the other is "LEVERING FAMILY History and Genealogy" by Col. John
Levering of LaFayette, Indiana.
The book "LEVERING FAMILY History and Genealogy" by Col. John Levering of
LaFayette, Indiana. States"Rosier Levering is BELIEVED to have been born
in Holland, of ancient English or Anglo-Saxon parentage; exiled, because
of persecution for their religious principles." The family listed above is
without documents so for now it is a belief only.

The above two books have the family as being French, living in Germany and
Holland.
Rosier LEVERING B abt 1615, Leydon Holland Death: Gamen Germany; Reli:
Mennonite; Married abt 1647,wesel Westfalia Germany to Elizabeth VAN DE
WALLE b 21 May 1626, Wesel, Westphalia,in Germany; d Gamen Germany. Her
father was Jacobus VAN DE WALLE.

"ROSIER LEVERING; was born in the early years of the seventeenth century.
He is the known progenitor of the Levering family in America, hence I
designate him as the zero, or benchmark, from which to grade succeeding
generations descending from him. It is believed that he was born in
Holland, of ancient English or Anglo-Saxon parentage; exiled, because of
persecution for their religious principles. These Germans were from the
palatinates of Cresheim and Crevelt, many of them having become Friends
through the preaching of William Penn in Germany. William Penn acquired
his estates in what eventually became Pennsylvania by patent in 1681. He
began travelling throughout Holland and Germany, recruiting settlers. At
the same time, he took partners, thereby acquiring the services of agents
to bring in even more settlers. One of the earliest partnerships,
organized about 1683, was the Frankfort Company; a partner in the
Frankfort company was Jacob Van De Walle, the uncle of Wigard and Gerhard
Levering.
RosierLevering married Elizabeth Van de Walle, of Wesel, in Westphalia, in
Germany, near to the frontier of Holland. They settled in the same
district, at Gemen, where several children were born to them, between the
years 1648 and 1662. Tradition, preserved by the remnant of the family at
Gemen, says they occupied the old Levering homestead in that town, and
that they died there." As found in the book # 2
The following is from book # 1. "Various traditions have prevailed among
the different branches of the family one of which. States that Rosier
Levering was a physician, and a very pious man; that he belonged to the
Reformed Church in France, of which country he was a native, and that upon
the Revocation of the Edict Nantz, he fled with his family to Germany,
where he afterwards lived and died. That Rosier Levering was a native of
France is not at all improbable, as that name has a French sound, but more
than this cannot be asserted, as there is no documentary evidence on the
point. That he fled from Franc to avoid persecution; can also be readily
believed, but his settlement is Germany most have been long anterior to
the Revocation of the Edict of Nantz. The Edict was nor revoked untion
Octer, 1685, and Wigard himself says He WAS BORN IN Gemen, Germany, and
that as I shall hereafter show, about the year 1648. The probability
therefore is that Rosier Levering left France during some of the earlier
religious wars and persecutions, which visited the Waldenes and Huguenots.

Elizabeth VAN DE WALLE b 21 May 1626 in the city of Wesel. The amount of
children they had, what was his occupation, and when he died, are
questions about which I have no answers. per: Horatio Gates Jones, dated
1858. As you see this family has been reseached by others we do know the
children and Rosier occupation. At least on research has found this out
for us. Thank you Col. John Levering.
Rosier and Elizabeth VAN DE WALL w Levering children were:
(1) John Wigard b 1648/49 Gemen, Germany
(2) Eberhard (Enert) b 1652 at Gemen, Germany, where married in 1677
Mecntold, daughter of Gerhard Schmullling, and died there Sept 5,1711
(3) Elizabeth b abt 1654 in Gemen, Germany. Her presence at the
christening of her brother's children is testified in items Nos. 6 and 10
of the Gemen Church records, which see. We have no further knowledge of
her
(4) Alche abt 1656 in Gemen, Germany. She appeared as a witness at the
christening ceremony of her brother's twin daughters, at item # 7 of
church records, as certified by the Churchmester. That she and her sister
Elizabeth appeared in these vicarious relations attests the fact of their
having attained the acceptable age for recognition by the church.
(5) William b aby 1658 in Gemen, Germany. Where he married about 1678
Grete Nilant, who died. He married 2nd abt 1691 Maria Veits of Gemen. He
died there January 3,1700.
(6) Gerhard (Garret) b abt 1660 in Gemen, Germany. He emigrated to America
with his brother Wigard in 1685. He married Mary (maiden name unknown),
after his arrival Philadelphia. He died in Whitpain Township, Philadelphia
County, PA.,after the year 1731.
(7) a daughter b September, 1662 in Gemen. The evidence of this is found
at item #17, copied from church reords, which see. That godmothers only
appeared determines the "child" to have been a daughter.
The above facts on the children came book # 2. The facts on John Wigard
Levering comes both books.
(I) JOHN WIGARD: born in 1648 or '49, in the town of Gemen, in Germany. In
April, 1674, he married "the chaste virgin," Magdalena Bokers, of Essen.
She was a native of Leyden, in Holland. They lived in Gemen until some
time after the birth and decease of their first child, and then removed to
Mulheim, where they remained until they emigrated to America, after the
20th of March, 1685, bringing their surviving four children. He settled
first in Germantown, Philadelphia, and removed from there a short distance
west, into Roxborough Township, in 1691, where he bought a tract of five
hundred acres of land, lying between and bordering upon both the River
Schuylkill and Wissahickon Creek. Upon this estate he lived his remaining
years with his family, and died there.
His wife Magdalena died in the summer of 1717 at the age of about 67
years. He died February 2, 1745, at the probable age of 97 years, and was
buried upon his farm in a spot overlooking the romantic Wissahickon, which
has become a part of the famous Fairmount Park of Philadelphia. This spot
subsequently became the churchyard and burial ground of the Baptist
Church, organized in 1789, which was greatly enlarged, and is now known as
Leverington Cemetery, under a special charter from the State of
Pennsylvania. This ground doubtless contains the remains of Magdalena. A
gravestone marking the interment, in June, 1744, of their grandchild,
Clement Levering, still stands, and points the place where repose the old
pioneers, though no sculptured tablet was ever erected there to their
memory.
The earliest record of John Wigard Levering and his wife, Magdalena
Boeckers, appears in the records of the Presbytery of the Evangelical
Parish of Gemen, Munster Stadt, Westphalia, Germany. On March 22, 1674,
the first wedding banns for "John Wigard Levering, Rosier's son, with the
chaste virgin Magdalena Bokers, of Essen," were proclaimed.

Wigard and Gerhard Levering emigrated in 1685. Their agreement with the
Frankfort Company is at the Pennsylvania Historical Society:
Wigard came to Philadelphia on the ship Penn's Woodland from Holland in
1685 having arrived before the month of August, 1685. The Frankfort
Company was engaged in the transportation of persons desiring to remove to
their colony. The written contract entered into by Wigard Levering with
the local agents at Wesel, Dr. Thomas Van Wylick and Johannes Le Brun, for
transportation of himself and family to Philadelphia, dated 20th of March,
1685
We, the subscribers, do acknowledge and confess by these Presents, that we
have contracted and agreed together, that Doctor Thomas Van Wylick and
Johannes Le Brun, in behalf of the Pennsylvania Company, in which they,
and other friends of Frankfort and other parts, are engaged, to accept or
receive me, Wigard Levering, old 36 or 37 years, and Magdalena Boeckers,
old 36 years, and four children, Anna Catherine, William, Amelia, and
Sibella, respectively 1/2, 2 1/2, 5 and 9 years, to and for the service of
the aforementioned Company, to transport by shipping out of Holland or
Ingland, to Pennsylvania, upon their cost. On Their arrival in
Pennsylvania, they were to report themselves to Francis Daniel Pastorius,
who was general agent for the company. Written upon the margin of the
instrument an agreement to include "the Contractor's brother, Gerhard
Levering."
The family Bible was in the possession of Mrs. Sarah Kirk, of Germantown,
a great-great-great-grand daughter of the old pioneer, until her death in
1863, when it passed to her granddaughter, Mrs. Linton, who also died. Her
husband probably has the relic. So said my Col. John Levering.

The above two books have the family as being French, living in Germany
and Holland.
~0865 Siegfried di Reggio ~1075 Suaro Fremariges ~1318 - 1387 Euphemia Leslie 69 69     EUPHEMIA ROSS, the 2nd wife and only queen of Robert II, was the daughter of Hugh de Ross, 4th Earl of Ross. She was probably born between about 1325 and 1330, but this is very uncertain. Her mother was the earl's 2nd wife, Margaret, daughter of Sir David Graham of Montrose. Euphemia's parents were granted a dispensation to marry, and a legitimation of past and future children born to them, 29 November 1329.

    She had married 1stly, John Randolph, 3rd Earl of Moray, who was killed at the disastrous battle of Neville's Cross, 17 October 1346, leaving her a childless and vulnerable widow of, at the most, 21 years of age, and probably rather younger.

    She married 2ndly (dispensation granted by Pope Innocent VI at Avignon, 2 May 1355), as his 2nd wife, Robert Stewart, Earl of Strathearn, who succeeded to the throne as Robert II, 22 February 1371. She gave him 2 sons and 2 daughters. See: Genealogical Notes page. She was crowned at Scone by Alexander de Kyninmund II, bishop of Aberdeen, in 1372.

    She died in 1387, predeceasing her husband by about 3 years, but the exact date and the place of her death and burial seem to have gone unrecorded. She must have been a very good-natured and long-suffering lady, putting up with the numerous and flagrant infidelities of her royal husband. Her personal charm and beauty may be inferred from the fact that both her daughters possessed those qualities in a marked degree.

Hugh transferred to William the great domain of Whitby in the East Riding of York, where William refounded the abbey of St-Hilda and appointed his bro. Surlo the first prior. The brothers, it would seem, were in continual disagreement, so that finally Surlo, receiving lands in Hakenas and Northfield from William Rufus, had transferred thither part of the community of Whitby. William was distinguished among his contemporaries by the addition of Algernons (with the whiskers) and his posterity constantly bore the name Algernon. He followed Duke Robert to the Holy Land in the First Crusade in 1096, and d. at Mountjoy, near Jerusalem. By his wife, Emma de Port, he had four sons and two daughters.

Domitius Ahenobarbus cos 96 BC, husband of Porcia Catones the sister of Cato the younger, friend of Cicero and enemy of Julius Caesar, and a strong supporter of the aristocratical party. At first strongly opposed to Pompey, he afterwards sided with him against Caesar. He was consul in 54 BC, and in 49 he was appointed by the senate to succeed Caesar as governor of Gaul. After the outbreak of the civil war he commanded the Pompeian troops at Corfinium, but was obliged to surrender. Although treated with great generosity by Caesar, he stirred up Massilia (today's Marseille) to an unsuccessful resistance against him. After its surrender, he joined Pompey in Greece and was slain in the flight after the battle of Pharsalus, in which he commanded the right wing against Antony (Caesar, Bellum Civile, i., ii., iii.; Dio Cassius xxxix., xli.; Appian, B.C. ii. 82).

Q. n. paullus, was a son of No. 13, and a brother of M. Lepidus, the triumvir. (Veil. Pat. ii. 67.) His surname Paullus instead of Lepidus has led many to suppose that he was only an adopted brother of the triumvir ; but Drumann has shown that Paullus was own brother of the triumvir. (Drumann's 7?om, vol. i. p. 5.) The surname of Paullus was probably given him by his father in honour of the celebrated Aemilius Paullus, the conqueror of Macedonia, which he might do with the less scruple, as Paullus appears to have left no descendants bearing his. name. Lepidus might therefore naturally desire that this family should be, as it were, again revived by one of his sons ; and to show the more honour to the name, he gave it to his eldest son ; for that L. Paullus was older than his brother the triumvir appears almost certain from the respective dates at which they attained the offices of the state. Some writers have supposed that the triumvir must have been the elder from his bearing the praenomen of his father ; but since Lucius was the praenomen of the conqueror of Macedonia, we can easily under­stand why the father should depart on this occasion from the usual Roman practice of giving his own praenomen to his eldest son.  Since Aemilius Paullus undoubtedly belonged to the family of the Lepidi, and not to that of the Paulli, he is inserted in this place and not under paullus.  Aemilius Paullus did not follow the example of his father, but commenced his public career by warmly supporting the aristocratical party. His first public act was the accusation of Catiline in b. c. 63, according to the Lex Plautia de vi,an act which Cicero praised as one of great service to the state, and on account of which Paullus incurred the hatred of the popular party. He must then have been quite a young man, for he was not quaestor till three years afterwards ; and it was during his quaestorship in Macedonia, in b. c. 59, under the propraetor C. Octavius, that he was accused by L. Vettius as one of the persons privy to the pre­tended conspiracy against the life of Pompey. He is mentioned in b. c. 57 as exerting himself to ob­tain the recall of Cicero from banishment.  In his aedileship, B. c. 55, Paullus restored one of the ancient basilicae in the middle of the forum, and likewise commenced a new one of extraordi­nary size and splendour. (Cic. ad Ait. iv. 16.) Respecting these basilicae, which have given rise to considerable dispute, a few remarks are made below, where a coin is given representing one of them.  In b. c. 53, Paullus obtained the praetorship, but not until the month of July, in consequence of the disturbances at Rome, which prevented the elections taking place till that month. He was chosen consul for the year b. c. 50, along with M. Claudius Marcellus, as one of the most determined enemies of Caesar. But he grievously disappointed the hopes of the aristocrats who had raised him tat-the consulship, for Caesar gained him over to his side by a bribe of 1500 talents, which he is said to have expended on the completion of his basilica. By accepting this bribe he lost the confidence of all parties, and accordingly seems to have taken no part in the civil war between Pompey and Caesar. After the murder of the latter, in b. c. 44, Paullus joined the senatorial party ; and he was one of the senators who declared M. Lepidus a public enemy, on the 30th of June, b. c. 43, on account of his having joined Antony; and, accordingly, when the triumvirate was formed in the autumn of the same year, his name was set down first in the proscription list by his own brother. The soldiers, however, who w.ere appointed to kill him, allowed him to escape, probably with the connivance of his brother. He passed over to Brutus in Asia, and after the death of the latter repaired to Miletus. Here he remained, and refused to go to Rome, although he was pardoned by the triumvirs. As he is not mentioned again, he probably died soon afterwards. (Sail. Cat. 31 ; Schol. Bob. in Vatin. p. 320, ed. Orelli ; Cic. in Vatin. -10, ad Ait. ii. 24, ad Qu. Fr. ii. 4, pro Mil. 9, ad Ait. vi. 1, 3, ad Fam. viii. 4, 8, 10, 11, xv. 12, 13 ; Appian, JB. C. ii. 26 ; Dion Cass. xl. 43, 63 ; Suet. Caes. 29 ; Plut. Caes. 29, Pomp. 58 ; Liv. Epit. 120 ; Appian, B. C. iv. 12, 37 ; Dion Cass. xlvii. 6 ; Veil. Pat. ii. 67.)  It has been already seen that Cicero says (ad Ait. iv. 16) that Aemilius Paullus restored a basilica in the forum, and also commenced a new one. The former must have been the same as the one originally built by the censors M. Aemilius Lepidus and M. Fulvius Nobilior, in b. c. 179. As M. Fulvius seems to have had the principal share in its construction (Liv. xl. 51), it was generally called the Fulvia basilica (Pint. Caes. 29), some­times the Aemilia et Fulvia (Varr L. L. vi. 2), but after the restoration by Aemilius Paullus, it was always called the Basilica Paulli or Aemilia. The restoration of this basilica was almost completed in b.c. 54, the year in which Cicero (L c.) was writing. But the question where the new one was built is a very difficult one to answer. Most modern writers have supposed that the two basilicae were built by the side of one another in the forum ; but this seems hardly possible to have been the case, since we never find mention of more than one basilica Aemilia or Paulli in all the ancient writers. (Tac. Ann. iii. 72 ; Plin. H.N. xxxvi. 15, 24 ; Stat. Silv. i. 1. 29 ; Plut. Caes. 29, Galb. 26 ; Dion Cass. xlix. 42, liv. 24 ; Appian, B. C. ii. 26.) Becker, therefore, supposes (Handb. der Rom. Al-"terthumer, vol. i. pp. 301—306) that the new build­ing, which Paullus commenced, was the same as the one .afterwards called the Basilica Julia, more especially as Paullus is expressly said to have received money from Caesar for the erection of one of tfrese^ basilicae. Cicero's letter (/. c.) certainly speaks as if the new basilica were to be built by Paullus at Caesar's expense ; and it may therefore be that the statement of Appian (B. C. ii. 26) and Plutarch (Caes. 29), that Paullus was bribed by Caesar in his consulship with a sum of 1500 talents, and that he expended this, upon the basilica Aemilia, is not quite correct. The mistake, how­ever, is a very natural one ; for though the 1500 talents, might ha>ebeen appropriated to the ejection of the new basilica, subsequent writers would naturally suppose that the money had been ex­pended upon the building which bore the name of Aemilius Paullus in their own time. For a further discussion of this subject, which hardly belongs to the present work, the reader is referred to Becker  The basilica Aemilia in the forum was rebuilt at his own expense by Paullus Aemilius Lepidus [No. 19], the son of the present article, and dedicated in his consulship, b. c. 34 (Dion Cass. xlix. 42). It was burnt down twenty years afterwards, b. c. 14, by a fire, which also destroyed the temple of Vesta, and was rebuilt nominally by Paullus Lepidus, but in reality by Augustus and the friends of Paullus (Dion Cass. liv. 24). The new building was a most magnificent one ; its columns of Phrygian marble were especially celebrated (Plin. H. N. xxxvi. 15, 24). It was again repaired by Lepidus [No. 23] in the reign of Tiberius, a. d. 22 (Tac. Ann. iii. 72). [Dictionary of Greek and Roman Biography and Mythology II:765-766] 0072 BC - AFT 0016 BC Publius Cornelius Scipio P. cornelius scipio, married Scribonia, who was afterwards the wife of Augustus, and by whom he had two children [Nos. 32 and 33]. His descent is uncertain, and we have no particulars of his life. Suetonius says (Octav. 62) that both the husbands of Scribonia, before she was married to Augustus, were men of consular rank ; but this statement makes the matter still more uncertain, since the last Scipio who obtained the consulship was L. Scipio Asiaticus in b. c. 83. [No. 20.] [Dictionary of Greek and Roman Biography and Mythology III:752] 0075 BC - 0016 Scribonia SCRIBONIA. The wife of Octavianus, after­wards the emperor Augustus, had been previously married to two men of consular rank, according to Suetonius (Aug. 62). This writer, however, does not mention their names ; and we know the name of only one of them, namely P. Cornelius Scipio, of whose consulship, however, there is no record. [SciPio, No. 31.J By him she had two children, P. Cornelius Scipio, who was consul, b. c. 16, and a daughter, Cornelia, who was married to Paulus Aemilius Lepidus, censor b. c. 22. [lepidus, No. 19.] Scribonia was the sister of L. Scribonius Libo, who was the father-in-law of Sex. Pompey, the son of Pompey the Great. [Liso, No. 4.] After the Perusinian war, b. c. 40, Octavian feared that Sex. Porapey would form an alliance with Antony to crush him ; and, accordingly, on the advice of Maecenas, he married Scribonia, in order to gain the favour of Pompey, and of his father-in-law Libo. Scribonia was much older than Octavian, and he never had any affection for her ; and, accordingly, he did not hesitate to divorce her in the following year, b.c. 3.9, on the very day in which she had borne him a daughter, Julia, in order to marry Livia, more especially as he was now on good terms with Antony, and hoped to drive Pompey out of Sicily. Octavian said that he divorced her on account of her loose morals; but Antony maintained that it was because she had taken offence at her husband's intercourse with Livia : the real reason, however, was undoubtedly his love of Livia. Scribonia long survived her separation from Octavian, for in a. d. 2 she ac­companied, of her own accord, her daughter Julia into exile, to the island of Pandateria. (Suet. Aug. 62, 69 ; Appian, B. C. v. 53 ; Dion Cass. xlviii. 34, Iv. 10 ; Veil. Pat. ii. 100 ; Tac. Ann. ii. 27.)

He was initially called Magnus (the Great) by his troops in Africa (82–81 BC).  Early career.  Pompey belonged to the senatorial nobility, although his family first achieved the office of consul only in 141. Fluent in Greek and a lifelong and intimate friend of Greek literati, he must have had the normal education of a young Roman nobleman; but his early experience on the staff of his father, Pompeius Strabo, did much to form his character, develop his military capabilities, and arouse his political ambition. The family possessed lands in Picenum, in eastern Italy, and a numerous body of clients, which Strabo greatly enlarged in the year of his consulship. In a civil war (88–87) between the rival generals Lucius Sulla and Gaius Marius, Strabo defied Sulla and favoured the Marians and a fellow general.  After his father's death, however, Pompey detached himself from the Marians. A report that he was “missing” in Cinna's army, when it was embarking for the Balkans to deal with Sulla, led to the lynching of Cinna by his troops (84). Pompey's part in this mutiny is unclear; he next appears with three legions recruited in Picenum, joining Sulla as an independent ally in the campaign to recover Rome and Italy from the Marians (83). Sulla made ample use of his youthful ally's military abilities. Pompey married Sulla's stepdaughter. On Sulla's orders the Senate gave Pompey the job of recovering Sicily and Africa from the Marians—a task he completed in two lightning campaigns (82–81). Pompey ruthlessly executed Marian leaders who had surrendered to him. To his enemies he was Sulla's butcher; to the troops he was “Imperator” and “Magnus.” From Africa Pompey demanded that a triumph be given him in Rome; he refused to disband his army and appeared at the gates of Rome, obliging Sulla to yield to his demand. After Sulla's abdication, Pompey supported the renegade Sullan Marcus Lepidus for the consulship of 78. Once in office Lepidus attempted revolution, and Pompey promptly joined the forces of law and order against him. The rising crushed, however, Pompey refused to disband his army, which he used to bring pressure on the Senate to send him with proconsular power to join Metellus Pius in Spain against the Marian leader Sertorius.  The reconquest of Spain taxed Pompey's military skill and strained his own and the state's resources to the utmost. In the end it was he, not Metellus, who imposed on Spain a settlement reflecting and promoting his own political aims. His policy was one of reconciliation and rehabilitation. His personal authority and patronage now covered Spain, southern Gaul, and northern Italy. Unlike Metellus, Pompey took his army back to Italy with him, ostensibly to assist in putting down a slave revolt led by Spartacus, but in reality to secure a triumph and election to the consulship for 70. The nobles whom Sulla had restored to power had proved to be more corrupt and incompetent than ever. Pompey promised reforms at home and abroad. A bargain was struck with his rival Marcus Licinius Crassus, the two were jointly elected consuls, and Pompey was given another triumph.  Reorganization of the East.  Although the nobles were to continue to dominate the consular elections in most years, the real sources of power henceforth lay outside of Italy. Extraordinary commands would have to be created if Rome was to recover control of the sea from pirates. It was Pompey who benefitted most from the restoration of tribunician initiative. After his consulship, he waited in Rome while rival nobles undermined the position of Lucius Licinius Lucullus, who was campaigning against Mithradates in Anatolia, and made halfhearted attempts to deal with the pirates. Finally, in 67, the tribune Aulus Gabinius forced a bill through the popular assembly empowering Pompey to settle the pirate problem.  Pompey was still in the East, resettling pirates as peaceful farmers, when in Rome another tribune, Gaius Manilius, carried through, against weakened opposition, a bill appointing Pompey to the command against Mithradates, with full powers to make war and peace and to organize the whole Roman East (66). Pompey displaced Lucullus and lost no time defeating Mithradates in Asia Minor. After the death of Mithradates in 63, Pompey was free to plan the consolidation of the eastern provinces and frontier kingdoms. For 6,000 talents he set up King Tigranes in Armenia as a friend and ally of Rome—and as his own protégé. Pompey rejected the Parthian king's request to recognize the Euphrates as the limit of Roman control and extended the Roman chain of protectorates to include Colchis, on the Black Sea, and the states south of the Caucasus. In Anatolia, he created the new provinces of Bithynia-Pontus and Cilicia. He annexed Syria and left Judaea as a dependent, diminished temple state. The organization of the East remains Pompey's greatest achievement. His sound appreciation of the geographical and political factors involved enabled him to impose an overall settlement that was to form the basis of the defensive frontier system and was to last, with few important changes, for more than 500 years.  Pompey's power and prestige were at their height in December 62, when he landed at Brundisium (Brindisi) and dismissed the army. His third triumph (61) trumpeted the grandeur of his achievement. The following decade was the period of his ascendancy in Italy, an ascendancy that was to be eroded through Caesar's growing military power and gradual capture of Pompey's worldwide clientelae, from the power base Caesar, in turn, created in northern Italy and Gaul. Pompey's inveterate enemies in Rome were the Optimates, the inner ring of nobles, not Crassus or Caesar, who had merely tried to steal the limelight in Pompey's absence and to manoeuvre into a better position for bargaining with their former political ally. The nobles meanwhile had gradually reasserted their dominance in Rome and hampered attempts to alleviate the condition of Italy and the Roman populace. Once back in Italy, Pompey avoided siding with popular elements against the Optimates. He was no revolutionary. He wanted all classes to recognize him as first citizen, available for further large-scale services to the state. He had divorced his third wife, Mucia, and now proposed to ally himself by marriage to the party of the young senatorial leader Marcus Porcius Cato the Younger. But the nobles were closing their ranks against him, and his offer was rebuffed. Lucullus and others were determined to prevent the en bloc ratification of Pompey's eastern settlement and to reject his demand for land for his veterans.  The First Triumvirate.  Help came only when Caesar returned from his governorship in Spain. Pompey, Crassus, and Caesar formed the unofficial and at first secret First Triumvirate. It was to become more than a mere election compact. It would strain all the resources of the triumvirs to wrest one consulship from the Optimates; their continued solidarity was essential if they were to secure what Caesar gained for them in 59. Caesar, for his part, wanted a long-term command. Pompey, who now married Caesar's daughter, Julia, saw Caesar as his necessary instrument. Caesar, once consul, immediately forced through a land bill and, shortly after, another appropriating public lands in Campania. Once he had secured a five-year command in Illyria and Gaul he could be relied on to take off a large proportion of Pompey's discharged troops and give them further opportunities for profitable employment.  Pompey solved the problem of Rome's grain supply with his usual efficiency, but the nobles kept up their opposition. The year 56 was a critical one for the triumvirs. The nobles concocted religious impediments to prevent the dispatch of Pompey on a military mission to Egypt, while Publius Clodius contrived to persuade Pompey that Crassus had designs on his life. An attempt was made to suspend Caesar's law for the distribution of Campanian land.  Alarmed at Pompey's suspicions and truculence, Crassus set off to meet Caesar at Ravenna, and Caesar in turn came to the limit of his province at Luca to meet Pompey. The Luca conference (56) prepared the ground for the next phase of triumviral cooperation: Pompey and Crassus were to secure election to the consulship for 55, for they, too, wanted five-year commands in the provinces, while Caesar's command was to be renewed for another five years. The three secured their ends by violence and corruption after a prolonged struggle. Early in 55 Pompey and Crassus were at last elected consuls, with most of the lesser magistracies going to their supporters. Caesar obtained the extension of his command, while Pompey and Crassus received commands in Spain and Syria, respectively. Pompey could stay on in Italy and govern his provinces by deputies. But the triumvirate was coming to an end. The death of Julia (54) destroyed the strongest bond between Pompey and Caesar, and Crassus suffered disastrous defeat and death in Mesopotamia. The triumvirate existed no longer; but Pompey as yet showed no inclination to break with Caesar.  Civil war.  Meanwhile, from outside the walls of Rome, Pompey watched the anarchy in the city becoming daily more intolerable. He was prepared to wait without committing himself until the Optimates found an alliance with him unavoidable. He refused further offers from Caesar of a marriage alliance. There was talk in Rome as early as 54 of a dictatorship for Pompey. Street violence made it impossible to hold the elections. In January 52 Clodius was killed by armed followers of Titus Annius Milo, whose candidacy for the consulship was being bitterly opposed by both Pompey and Clodius. Now both factions exploded into even greater violence. The senate house was burnt down by the mob. With no senior magistrates in office, the Senate had to call on Pompey to restore order. It was the hour he had waited for. He speedily summoned troops from Italy. The nobles would not have him as dictator; they thought it safer to appoint him sole consul.  Pompey's legislation of 52 reveals his genuine interest in reform and the duplicity of his conduct towards Caesar. He reformed procedure in the courts and produced a panel of respectable jurors. A severe law against bribery at elections was made retrospective to 70 and, for all Pompey's protests, was rightly taken by Caesar's friends as aimed at him. Another useful law enforced a five-year interval between tenure of magistracies in Rome and assumption of provincial commands. But this law and another, which prohibited candidature in absence, effectively destroyed the ground of Caesar's expectation that he should become designated consul, and so safe from prosecution, before he had to disband his army in Gaul. Several attempts were made in the years 51–50 to recall Caesar before the expiration of his second term in Gaul. They were frustrated by the assertiveness of Caesar's faction and agents in Rome. Pompey, for all his growing fear and suspicion of Caesar's ambitions, did not come out openly against Caesar until late in 51, when he suddenly made clear his intentions. He declared that he would not consider the suggestion that Caesar should become designated consul while still in command of his army. His proposals for a compromise date for Caesar's recall were unacceptable to Caesar, whose sole resource now was to use the wealth he had accumulated in Gaul to buy men who could obstruct his enemies in the Senate. When war came, the Senate was evenly divided between Caesar and Pompey. The consulars were solidly for Pompey, although they saw him simply as the lesser evil. Late in 50 the consul Gaius Marcellus, failing to induce the Senate to declare Caesar a public enemy, visited Pompey with the consuls designate and placed a sword in his hands. Pompey accepted their invitation to raise an army and defend the state. Caesar continued to offer compromise solutions while preparing to strike. On Jan. 7, 49, the Senate finally decreed a state of war. Four days later Caesar crossed the Rubicon.  Pompey's strategic plan was to abandon Rome and Italy to Caesar and rely on his command of the sea and the resources of the East to starve out the Caesarians in Italy; but he did not have the disciplined loyalty and full cooperation of his Optimate allies, and Caesar's swift advance southward only just failed to prevent his withdrawal from Italy. Across the Adriatic at Dyrrhachium the wisdom of Pompey's strategy became clear. Caesar, after a hazardous crossing in pursuit, found himself cut off from his base in Italy by sea and facing superior land forces. Pompey, however, eventually had to abandon his naval blockade of the rest of Caesar's forces in Brundisium and failed to prevent their crossing to join Caesar. Caesar's army was repulsed in an assault on Pompey's camp at Dyrrhachium and, failing a quick decision in the West, Caesar was obliged to move eastwards into Thessaly. Pompey followed and joined forces with the Senate's army there under Scipio, rendering Caesar's position untenable. At this juncture, Pompey, under pressure from his Optimate allies, decided for battle, a sensible enough decision if his opponent had not been a commander of genius. Pompey suffered a disastrous defeat on the plain of Pharsalus (48). He fled from his camp as the enemy stormed it and made his way to the coast. His supporters were to rally and involve Caesar in strenuous fighting in Africa, Spain, and the East for three more years; but Pompey did not live to play a part in this struggle. Hurried on by Caesar's rapid pursuit, he lost contact with his own fleet. He moved on southward to Cilicia, Cyprus, and Egypt. He decided to land at Pelusium and seek the assistance of Ptolemy, his former client. The King marched down to the coast, ostensibly to welcome him; but he and his counsellors had chosen not to risk offending the victorious Caesar. Pompey's small squadron lay offshore while Pompey, bidding farewell to his wife, Cornelia, complied with an insidious invitation to enter, with several companions, a small boat sent to bring him to land. As he prepared to step ashore he was treacherously struck down and killed (Sept. 28, 48 BC).  Assessment.  Pompey's name cast a lasting shadow. His end inspired some of Lucan's finest verses. In the empire he acquired official respectability, and the greatness of his achievement was fully appreciated by the great writers. But there are few clear-headed or unbiassed accounts of Pompey by his own contemporaries. Caesar would have his readers believe that he wrote of Pompey more in sorrow than in anger; his propaganda was discreet and subtly damaging to his rival's reputation. Cicero's veering, day-to-day judgments of Pompey reveal his inability to see clearly through the distorting medium of his own vanity. The inflated eulogies of Pompey in Cicero's speeches are punctured by his persistent sniping at him in his letters. Yet he looked up to him for leadership and, in the moment of decision, joined him. But Pompey was neither a revolutionary nor a reactionary, willing to wreck the fabric of the commonwealth for the advantage of self or class. He expected a voluntary acceptance of his primacy but was to discover that the methods he had used to get his commands had permanently alienated the dominant nobility. So year after year he had to play a passive role, covertly intriguing or waiting for successive occasions to arise that would force them to accept his leadership. Some thought his waiting game duplicity, others, sheer political incompetence. He was an ineffective politician, not from incapacity for intrigue or ruthless action but from lack of candour and consistency in speech and action.  As a military leader, Pompey fell short of real greatness, lacking Caesar's genius, his dynamism and panache, and his geniality in personal relationships. He was circumspect and thorough—the perfect administrator. His vision of empire was no narrower than Caesar's. Like many a more recent imperialist, he was satisfied with the ideal of efficient and clean-handed administration and justice, and many of his contemporaries believed that he went far to achieve that aim in his own practice. Pompey, the wealthiest man of his age, invested his millions prudently; his landed estates were distributed throughout Italy in manageable units. For all the extravagance of his triumphal shows and the inexcusable heartlessness of the contests in slaughter with which he entertained the populace, he was a plain-living man, friend and admirer of the Stoic Panaetius. His third wife, Mucia, bore him two sons, Gnaeus and Sextus, and a daughter, Pompeia, before he divorced her for infidelity (62). Julia was the wife he loved most dearly; Cornelia outlived him and mourned his death. [Encyclopædia Britannica, online <http://www.britannica.com/eb/article-5869>] ABT 0100 BC Mucia Tertia 0130 BC - 0087 BC Gnaeus Pompeius Sextus Strabo n. pompeius sex. f. cn. n. strabo, younger son of No. 15, and father of the triumvir. His surname Strabo, which signifies one who squints, and which occurs in several other Roman gentes, is said to have been first given to his cook, Menogenes, and then to have been applied to Pompeius himself, from his likeness to his slave .(Plin. H. N. vii. 10. s. 12 ; Val. Max. ix. 14. § 2). 'Whether this be true or false, Pompeius at all events adopted the name ; and. it appears on his coins, and in the Fasti. All the ancient writers agree in giving this Pompeius a thoroughly bad character. His name is first mentioned in con­nection with a discreditable matter. He had been quaestor in Sardinia in b.c. 103, under the pro­praetor T. Albucius, against whom he collected materials for an accusation, although the Romans regarded the relation between praetor and quaestor as a sacred one, like that between father and son. For that reason he was. not allowed to con­duct the accusation, which was assigned to C. Caesar instead (Cic. Div. in Caecil. 19). He was probably praetor in b. c. 94, and obtained in the following year the government of Sicily (Cic. Verr. iii. 16, v. 66). On the breaking out of the Social or Marsic war, in b. c. 90, Pompeius served as legate under the consul P. Rutilius Lupus. Pom­peius was at first defeated, and obliged to take refuge at Firmuin, where he was besieged by Afranius, one of the Italian generals. But when Stilpicius came to his assistance, Afranius' was at­tacked at once by the two Roman armies, and lost his life in the battle: his troops fled in confusion to Asculum. To this town Pompeius proceeded to lay siege ; and as he seems to have been regarded as a general of no mean abilities, he was elected to the consulship, b. c. 89, with -L. Porcius Cato. Soon after entering upon his consulship, he de­feated the Italians on the east coast, who, ignorant that the Etruscans had made terms with the Ro­mans, were marching to their assistance. He fol­lowed up this victory by others, and defeated, in succession, the Marsi, Marrucini, and Vestini. He at length took Asculum, and subdued the Picen-tines, and returned to Rome at the end of the year, which he entered in triumph on the 27th of December. Before he laid down his consulship, he probably brought forward the law (lex Pom-peia), which gave to all the towns of the Transpa-daui the Jus Latii or Latinitas.  In the following year, b. c. 88, occurred the dread­ful struggle between Marius and Sulla for the com­mand of the Mithridatic war, which ended in the proscription of Marius, and his flight from Italy. Strabo had returned to his army, and was engaged in southern Italy in completing the subjugation of the Italians, when he learnt that the senate had deprived him of the command, and had assigned his army to the consul Q. Pompeius Rufus, to whom the care of Italy was entrusted, while his colleague Sulla was engaged in the Mithridatic war. But Strabo, who was excessively fond of power, was indignant at this decision. He however concealed his resent­ment and handed over the army to Rufus ; but at the same time he secretly instigated the soldiers to murder their new commander, which they accord­ingly did shortly afterwards. He affected great horror of the crime, but took no steps to bring the perpetrators to justice ; and Sulla, who was on the point of starting for the East, was obliged to over­look the murder.  Next year, b. c. 87, the Marian party obtained the upper hand. L. Cinna, who had been driven out of the city by his colleague Cn. Octavius, had collected a formidable army, and being joined by Marius, advanced against Rome. The aristocracy summoned Pompeius Strabo to their aid; but as he commanded against their wish, and had been refused a second consulship this year, he was un­willing to espouse their side. Still, not being pre­pared to join the other party, he advanced by slow marches to the relief of the city, and, contrary to his wishes, was obliged to fight near the Colline Gate with Cinna and Sertorius. The battle was not decisive, but Strabo was unable to play any longer a neutral part. Cinna attempted to remove him by assassination, but he was saved by the energy and prudence of his son, who also quelled a dangerous mutiny among the soldiers. Shortly after these events,, and in the course of the same year, b. c. 87, Strabo was killed by lightning. His avarice and cruelty had made him hated by the soldiers to such a degree, that they tore his corpse from the bier and dragged it through the streets. Cicero describes him (Brut. 47) as "worthy of hatred on account of his cruelty, avarice, and per­fidy." He possessed some reputation as an orator, and still more as a general. He left behind him a considerable property, especially in Picenum ; and his anxiety to protect his estates probably led him to make that neighbourhood one of the princi­pal seats of the war against the Italians (Appian, B. C. i. 40, 47, 52, 66—68, 80 ; Liv. Epit. 74 — 79 ; Veil. Pat. ii. 20, 21 ; Flor. iii. 18 ; Oros. v. 18 ; Plut. Pomp. 1, 3 ; Cic. Philipp. xii. 11.)

From William T. Price's Historical Sketches of Pocahontas Co, WV (reprinted by McClain Publishing, Parsons, WV, 1963; originally published by Price Brothers, Marlinton, WV, 1901):

Henry Dilley went over to John Sharps, the early settler of Frost, often enough to persuade his daughter Margaret to have him for better or worse, and they were happily married and settled on Thorny Creek. As long as Dilley's Mill be known, his name will never be forgotten. Mr. Dilley never doubted the truth of the bible, especially that place in Genesis, where it speaks of the ground bringing forth "thorns and thistles." He had enough of these things to contend with on his Thorny Creek land where he settled, opened up a home, and built a mill. It was one of the best of its kind for that day, and it's successor keeps up a good reputation as Dilley's Mill yet. Men may come and go, but the beautiful perennial stream that was utilized by Henry Dilley still goes on its useful service for the benefit of his children's children and a great many others far and near.

During his father's lifetime he accompanied his elder brother, Owain, on many predatory excursions against rival princes. In 1121 they ravaged Meirionydd, and apparently conquered it. In 1135 and 1136 they led three successful expeditions to Ceredigion, and managed to get possession of at least the northern portion of that district. In 1137 Owain succeeded, on Gruffudd ap Cynan's death, to the sovereignty of Gwyneed or North Wales. Cadwaladr appears to have found his portion in his former conquests of Meirionydd and northern Ceredigion. The intruder from Gwynedd soon became involved in feudes both with his south Welsh neighbours and with his family. In 1143 his men slew Anarawd, son of Gruffudd of South Wales, to whom Owain Gwynedd had promised his daughter in marriage. Repudiated by his brother, who sent his son Howel to ravage his share of Ceredigion and to attack his castle of Aberystwith, Cadwaladr fled to Ireland, whence he returned next year with a fleet of Irish Danes, to wreak vengeance on Owain. The fleet had already landed at the mouth of the Menai Straits when the intervention of the 'goodmen' of Gwynedd reconciled the brothers. Disgusted at what they probably regarded as treachery, the Irish pirates seized and blinded Cadwaladr, and only released him on the payment of a heavy ransom of 2,000 bondmen (some of the chroniclers say cattle). Their attempt to plunder the country was successfully resisted by Owain. In 1146, however, fresh hostilities broke out between Cadwaladr and his brother's sons Howel and Cynan. they invaded Meirionydd and captured his castle of Cynvael, despite the valiant resistance of his steward, Morvran, abbot of Whitland. This disaster lost Cadwaladr Meirionydd, and so hard was he pressed that, despite his building a castls at Llanrhystyd in Ceredigion (1148), he was compelled to surrender his possessions in that district to his son, apparently in hope of a compromise; but Howel next year captured his cousin and conquered this territory, while the brothers of the murdered Anarawd profited by the dissensions of the princes of Gwynedd to conquer Ceredigion as far north as the Aeron, and soon extended their conquests into Howel's recent acquisitions. Meanwhile Cadwaladr was expelled by Owain from his last refuge in Mona. Cadwaladr now seems to have taken refuge witht he English, with whom, if we may believe a late authority, his marriage with a lady of the house of Clare had already connected him. The death of Stephen put an end to the long period of Welsh freedom under which Cadwaladr had grown up. In 1157 Henry II's first expedition to Wales, though by no means a brilliant success, was able to effect Cadwaladr's restoration to his old dominions. Despite his blindness, Cadwaladr had not lost his energy. In 1158 he joined the marcher lords and his nephews in an expedition against Rhys ap Gruffudd of South Wales. In 1165 Cadwaladr took part in the general resistance to Henry II's third expediton in Wales. In 1169 the death of Owain Gwynedd probably weakened his position. In March 1172 Cadwaladr himself died, and was buried in the same tomb as Owain, before the high altar of Bangor Cathedral.

The Welsh chroniclers are very full of Cadwaladr's exploits, and celebrate him as jointly with his brother upholding the unity of the British kingdom. Giraldus specially commends Cadwaladr's liberality. [Dictionary of National Biography III:642-643]


_____________________

Cadwaladr (d 1172), prince, was teh third son of Gruffudd ap Cynan (d 1137) and his wife Angharad. He is first heard of in 1136, when, on the death of Richard FitzGilbert, lord of Ceredigion, his elder brother, Owain Gwynedd, and he invaded the province and took the five northern castles, including Aberystwyth. At the end of the year they returned with a large force of mail-clad knights and foot soldiers and swept over the south of the region, defeating the foreign settlers in a battle at Grug Mawr, not far from Cardigan. Cardigan town was sacked, but the castle, which could not be reinforced by sea, was not taken. In 1137 the two brothers completed their conquest by the capture of castles in the east and south of Ceredigion; a bold push across the Teify also gave them Carmarthen. This was the limit of their success; in 1138 they failed, even with the aid of a Danish flotilla, to break down the persistence of the garrison of Cardigan, and Cadwaladr was content to reap the fruits of victory and to occupy northern Cardigan as his share of the spoil. A little later he appears in a somewhat surprising light as an ally of earl Randolph II of Chester in the attack upon LIncoln of 2 Feb 1141, which resulted in the sack of the town and the capture of king Stephen. But this was no blind adventure; it must be connected with Cadwaladr's marriage to Alice de Clare, daughter of FitzGilbert - an alliance clearly intended to strenghten his hold upon Ceredigion and one which made him earl Randolph's nephew. A serious crime in 1143 led to a rupture with his brother. He allowed his retinue treacherously to murder the South Welsh leader, Anarawd ap Gruffydd, and thus incurred the just wrath of Owain, who bade his son Hywel expel him from Ceredigion. Cadwaladr found refuge in Ireland and there secured the help of the Danes of Dublin, who in 1144 brought a fleet to Abermenai to reinstate him. But here there was a change of front; Cadwaladr escaped from the custody of his allies ('blinded' is a mistranslation of the 'Brut' by Ab Ithel) and was reconciled to his brother, who drove off the invaders.

Trouble still beset him. In 1147 his nephews, Hywel and Cynan, entered Meirionnydd, the one from the south and the other from the north, and attacked his castle of Cynfail, held loyally for him by Morfran, head of the neighbouring 'clas' of Towyn. They were successful and in another two years Cadwaladr gave up his share of Ceredigion, with his new castle of Llanrhystud, to his son Cadfan. Finally, there was in 1152 a fresh quarrel with Owain, which led to his expulsion from Anglesey and a five years exile in England. His English connections now stood him in good stead. It is known that he attested, as 'Welsh,' or 'North Welsh King,' charters executed by earl Randolph in favour of the abbeys of Chester and of Shrewsbury and later, when Henry II came to the throne, he was provided with honourable maintenance at Ness in Shropshire.

Exile ended in 1157, when Henry invaded Gwynedd and secured as a condition of peace he return of Cadwaladr to his former standing. Henceforth, he ceased to pursue persional ends and is found acting with his fellow princes of the North. He was one of the coalition of northerners and English earls who in 1159 attempted in vain to subdue Rhys ap Gruffydd. He stood at the side of his brother in the great assembly of Welsh chiefs at Corwen in 1165 and aided him in the capture in 1167 of the castles of Rhuddlan and Prestatyn.

Cadwaladr survived Owain and d 29 Feb 1172. He was buried in Bangor cathedral and Gerald of Wales saw in 1188 the double tomb of the two brothers in the wall of the presbytery, near the high altar. He mentions Cadwaladr as a prince of lavish generosity; the only evidence of this is his gift of the church of Nevin to Haughmond abbey by a charter witnessed by his wife and earl Randolph.

1285 - 1369/1370 Henry de Trafford 1302 Agnes Dolerinde ABT 1297/1300 John de Hulton 1350 Thomas Clarke The listing here of Thomas and Eleanor comes from the LDS IGI files mainly because of the marriage being in Kent.  The notes below come from various sources about Kent. Their purpose is try to find the Clarks earlier than 1200 Hengist also spelled Hengest (respectively d. c. 488; d. 455?), brothers and legendary leaders of the first Anglo-Saxon settlers in Britain who went there, according to the English historian and theologian Bede, to fight for the British king Vortigern against the Picts between AD 446 and 454. The brothers are said to have been Jutes and sons of one Wihtgils. The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle says that they landed at Ebbsfleet, Kent, and that Horsa was killed at Aegelsthrep (possibly Aylesford, Kent) in 455. Bede mentions a monument to him in east Kent; Horstead, near Aylesford, may be named for him. The Chronicle says that Hengist began to reign in 455 and that he fought against the Britons; it implies that Hengist died in 488. The historic kings of Kent traced their direct descent from Hengist, although the Kentish royal house was known as Oiscingas, from Hengist's son Oeric, surnamed Oisc (or Aesc), who is said to have reigned alone from 488 to 512. Hengist may perhaps be identified with the epic poem Beowulf, connected with the tribe Eotan, probably Jutes. Saint Augustine of Canterbury born Rome? died May 26, 604-605, Canterbury, Kent, England.; feast day in England and Wales May 26, elsewhere May 28, also called Austin first archbishop of Canterbury and the apostle of England, who founded the Christian church in southern England. Probably of aristocratic birth, Augustine was prior of the Benedictine monastery of St. Andrew, Rome, when Pope St. Gregory I the Great chose him to lead an unprecedented mission of about 40 monks to England, which was then largely pagan. They left in June 596, but, arriving in southern Gaul, they were warned of the perils awaiting them and sent Augustine back to Rome. There Gregory encouraged him with letters of commendation (dated July 23, 596), and he set out once more. The entourage landed in the spring of 597 on the Isle of Thanet, off the southeast coast of England, and was well received by King Aethelberht (Ethelbert) I of Kent, who gave the missionaries a dwelling place in Canterbury and the old St. Martin's Church, where he allowed them to preach. With Aethelberht's support, their work led to many conversions, including that of the King. In the following autumn Augustine was consecrated bishop of the English by St. Virgilius at Arles. Thousands of Aethelberht's subjects were reportedly baptized by Augustine on Christmas Day 597, and he subsequently dispatched two of his monks to Rome with a report of this extraordinary event and a request for further help and advice. They returned in 601 with the pallium (i.e., symbol of metropolitan jurisdiction) from Gregory for Augustine and with more missionaries, including the celebrated saints Mellitus, Justus, and Paulinus. Gregory, with whom Augustine corresponded throughout his apostolate, directed him to purify pagan temples for Christian worship and to consecrate 12 suffragan bishops; thus, he was given authority over the bishops in Britain, and the evangelization of the Kingdom of Kent began. Augustine founded Christ Church, Canterbury, as his cathedral and monastery. Peter and Paul (known after his death as St. Augustine's, where the early archbishops were buried), which came to rank as the second Benedictine house in all Europe. Canterbury thus was established as the primatial see of England, a position maintained thereafter. In 604 he established the episcopal sees of London (for the East Saxons), consecrating Mellitus as its bishop, and of Rochester, consecrating Justus as its bishop. At a conference with British bishops, Augustine tried in vain to unify the British (Celtic) churches of North Wales and the churches he was founding. A second conference, his last recorded act, proved equally fruitless. Augustine was buried at the monastery. Peter and Paul. 1207 Roese Venables 1352 Eleanor Rowlinge 1315 - 7 Mar 1368/1369 Thomas Clark Note that Thomas was born in Kent the same place as descendant Clarks were born for several hundred years (and probably even today). There was a kingdom of Kent before 800 AD. The earliest King Of Kent was probably Hengest born in 448 in Kent. The last King of Kent was Aethelbert born in 728 in Kent. Kent then became a part of Wessex. The first King of Wessex was Ealhmund born 758. About 100 years later Alfred (one of our most famous ancestors) was the last King of Wessex. His son Edward became King of England as England was now evolving, and Kent became a shire.  In a book borrowed from the University of California Library in Irvine, "Regional Historyof England, The South East from AD 1000" there are vivid discriptions of Kent, it's people, and the events of the time. No Clark (all varieties) could be found in this early history. The names Odo (Bishop of Bayeux), Robert (Count of Mortain), Robert (Count of Eu), William De Warenne, Roger of Montgomery, Richard FitzGilbert, Hugh De Montfort, the De Braose family, the De Clare family, Courtenay, Culpeper (Colepeper) and Ferrers are noted (all of whom are Clark ancestors)   According to one researcher "Thomas Dutton was indicted for the acts that he and others committed (circa 1350). They came with armed power, when King Edward III was out of England, within the verge of the lodgings of Lionel, the King's son, and assaulted the manor of Beaume's, and there slew Michael Poynings and Thomas CLERKE and others, and committed a rape on Margery, wife of Nicholas de Beche, for which the King pardoned him.   According to Bernard Holland in his reference "The Lancaster Shire Hollands" the action was "that Sir Robert de Holland ...assisted Sir Robert Dalton in abducting, with violence, a wealthy widow of both Nicolas de la Beche and Gerard de I'Isle, Margery, from her manor house called Beaume's.. in Berkshire ..who..Dalton wished to marry. In the affray the lady's uncle Michael le Poyning, and another man were killed, and several wounded. ... The arrest of Dalton, Holland and the rest was ordered so they fled to Lancaster Shire with the Lady. They took refuge in the Holland house of mother Maud in Upholland. Maud tried to protect the men. The crime of abduction was common in these times. The abductors were later pardoned.

(p374) 1 2 1027 - 1071 William Malet 44 44 Sheriff of York; Lord Malet

Note: Malet is a dimunitive of "Mal" meaning evil.

The Peytons, Camden observes, have had a common progenitor with the Uffords, who became Earls of Suffolk, the founder of both being William Mallet, a Norman baron, who was sheriff of Yorkshire in the 3rd of William I, and obtained grants of sundry lordships and manors from the crown, amongst which were Sibton and Peyton Hall, which he possessed at the time of the survey. "Iselham," says the same author, "formerly belonged to the Bernards, which came to the family of the Peytons by marriage, which knightly family of Peyton flowed out of the same male stock whence the Uffords, Earls of Suffolk, descended; albeit they assumed the surname of Peyton, according to the use of that age, from their manor of Peyton Hall, in Boxford, in the county of Suffolk." [John Burke & John Bernard Burke, Extinct and Dormant Baronetcies of England, Ireland, and Scotland, Second Edition, Scott, Webster, & Geary, London, 1841, p. 408, Peyton, of Isleham]

Note: Domesday states that Walter de Caen held Sibton (given to him by William's widow) and Swein of Essex held Peyton--Walter having been dead since 1071.

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

William, according to some, was grandson of Lady Godiva & brother of Harold Godwyn's wife, while not necessarily entirely true, probably there was some relationship.

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

He was Sieur de Estrepagny and the Count of the Vexin. He accompanied William the Conqueror to England in 1066.

Jim Weber:
William Malet, of Granville, Normandy; also held lands in Lincs before 1066 (possibly by virtue of his mother's putative status of Englishwoman); granted the feudal Barony of Eye, Suffolk, following the Conquest, in which he was one of William I's chief lieutenants, being allegedly given the task by William of burying Harold's body after Hastings; Sheriff of Yorks 1068; married Hesilia Crispin (living 1086), gggdau of Rollo The Dane, Duke of Normandy, and died c1071. [Burke's Peerage]

According to Crispin and Macary, "William (Guillaume) Malet de Graville stands out as one of the most imposing figures at the Conquest. There can be no doubt about his presence there, which is subscribed to by William of Poitiers, Guy of Amiens, Orderic Vital, and all the historians of this epoch. So much has been placed on record concerning him that just a few facts of his life will be recited here. He was probably descended from Gerard, a Scandinavian prince and companion of Duke Rollo, which gave the name of the fief of Gerardville or Graville, near Havre. Robert, the eldest son, occurs in a document of about 990 in Normandy. On his mother's side William Malet was of Anglo-Saxon origin, for she was probably the daughter of Leofric, Earl of Mercia, and Godwa or Godgifu, the supposed sister of Thorold the Sheriff in the time of Edward the Confessor, and therefore the aunt of Edwin and Morcar, Earls of Northumberland. He was nearly killed in the battle of Hastings but was rescued by the sire de Montfort and William of Vieuxpont, and was appointed by William the Conqueror to take charge of the body of Harold, a statement that has been disputed. The consensus of opinion favors it, and it is most logical if William Malet's mother was as stated the sister of Algar II., 7th Earl of Mercia, who was the father of Alditha, wife of Harold. He accompanied King William at the reduction of Nottingham and York in 1068, for which he was rewarded with the shreivalty of land in that county. Gilbert de Gand and Robert Fitz Richard were also commanders in this expedition. The following year he was besieged in the castle of York by Edgar, the Saxon prince, and was only saved from surrender by the timely arrival of the Conqueror. In the same year he was attacked by the Danes, who captured the city of York with great slaughter and took William Malet, his wife and children, prisoners, but their lives were spared, as was that of Gilbert de Gand, for the sake of their ransoms. There is evidence that he was slain in this year, but it is uncertain and the date of his death is unknown. An entry in Domesday that "William Malet was seized of this place (Cidestan, Co. Suffolk), where he proceeded on the King's service where he died," would indicate that his death occurred during the compilation of that book. He was witness to a charter of King William to the church of St. Martin-le-Grand, in London, and is there styled "princeps," which title, however, was honorary and not hereditary, having ceased with his death."
------------------------------------------

William Malet, or Guillaume, as he may have been called, "Sire de Graville", came from Graville Sainte Honorine between Le Havre and Harfleur, in what is today the French province of Normandy. He is said to have had a Norman father and a Saxon (read English) mother, and had some sort of association with King Harold of England before the conquest. William, through his Saxon mother, may actually have been related to King Harold, and also to the well known Lady Godiva. It is also possible that William and Harold were both God fathers of Duke William of Normandy's daughter, Abela.

The Malet Castle at Graville Sainte Honorine had an important strategic location, at the mouth of the Seine. It has now fallen into the sea, though some remnants of it may still be visible. A large section of wall with large iron rings attached was still there just over 100 years ago. The Abbey church, in which some of the Malets are buried, is now in the town of Le Havre. Though William Malet had connections to both sides in the conflict to come, his main allegiance was to Duke William of Normandy.

William Malet, or Guillaume, as he may have been called, "Sire de Graville", came from Graville Sainte Honorine between Le Havre and Harfleur, in what is today the French province of Normandy. He is said to have had a Norman father and a Saxon (read English) mother, and had some sort of association with King Harold of England before the conquest. William, through his Saxon mother, may actually have been related to King Harold, and also to the well known Lady Godiva. It is also possible that William and Harold were both God fathers of Duke William of Normandy's daughter, Abela.

The Malet Castle at Graville Sainte Honorine had an important strategic location, at the mouth of the Seine. It has now fallen into the sea, though some remnants of it may still be visible. A large section of wall with large iron rings attached was still there just over 100 years ago. The Abbey church, in which some of the Malets are buried, is now in the town of Le Havre. Though William Malet had connections to both sides in the conflict to come, his main allegiance was to Duke William of Normandy.

William fought with distinction at Hastings, as the following Excerpt from Wace's "Roman de Rou" attests:



William whom they call Mallet,
Boldly throws himself among them;
With his flashing sword
Against the English he makes furious onset;
But his shield they clove,
And his horse beneath him killed,
And himself they would have slain,
When came the Sire de Montfort
And Lord William de Vez-Pont
With the great force which they had,
Him they bravely rescued.
There many of their men they lost;
Mallet they remounted on the field
On a fresh war-horse.


When the battle was over, Duke William entrusted William Malet to attend to the burial of the dead English king. The body was buried under a heap of stones on top of a cliff at Hastings overlooking the shore that Harold had so bravely defended. William placed a stone on the grave with the epitaph:


"By command of the Duke, you rest here a King, O Harold, that you may be guardian still of the shore and sea".
This burial of Harold was only temporary and the body was later re-buried at Harold's Abbey at Waltham.

William and his brother Durand held lands in Lincolnshire, England, during the reign of Edward the Confessor, and through the reign of Harold right up to the conquest, in addition to those in Normandy. These Lincolnshire holdings, all in the Danelaw, probably came from William and Durand's mother. After the conquest William's English holdings were greatly increased, again, principally in the Danelaw, as English lands were taken from their Saxon owners and handed over to Norman Barons. It is likely that Duke William conferred these estates on William, partly because of his loyalty and skill in battle, but also because of his prior connections with his Danish "cousins" there. Perhaps the Duke felt that William was the best man to bring these proud, warlike and independent settlers under the control of their new King.

William was dead at the time of the Domesday survey in 1086, but the holdings at that time of his son Robert, and of his wife, give a good indication of the extent of his estates. He held large parts of what are today Suffolk and Norfolk, with smaller amounts of land in Lincolnshire and Yorkshire. Eye, in Suffolk appears to have been William's stronghold. Here he built a Motte and Bailey castle, after the Norman fashion. Nothing remains of the Norman fortifications, but the outline of the baileys and "Castle Mound", are still evident. There is even a slight indication of where the Market, founded by William Malet under Royal License would have been held.

William married Hesilia Crispin, by whom he had two sons, Robert and Gilbert, and one daughter, Beatrice. Robert and possibly Gilbert, along with their uncle Durand, accompanied their father at the battle of Hastings. The arms shown at the top of the page, likely carried by the Malets at Hastings, were used by many generations of the Malet family, both in England and in France, and can be seen on the Bayeux tapestry.

William was made Sheriff of York and granted considerable lands in Yorkshire following the building of the first Norman castle there (the mound now supports 'Clifford's Tower') in 1068. He and his fellow captains, Robert Fitz-Richard and William of Ghent, with 500 picked knights had to fight off a local revolt, headed by Edgar the Atheling; this in or shortly after January 1069. Robert Fitz-Richard and many of his men were killed and it was only by the timely arrival of King William that the City was saved. The natives remained restless and had another, token go, as soon as King William left but were quickly put down. The troops were strengthened and another castle built on the other side of the river from the original but, notwithstanding, in September 1069, William, his wife and two of his children were captured by a combined force of Danes and English under Sweyn of Denmark supported by Earls Waltheof and Gospatric and the Northumbrians, when York fell to them after a terrible fight. This led to King William ordering the burning and killing of everything in the north and Domesday, even 16 years later, records most of northern England as still being waste and uninhabited.

William, his wife and two children must have been released some time later and William retained most of his lands apart from those in Yorkshire, which will have come with the office of Sheriff, which had been taken from him. At some point the King awarded William the appellation of "Princep", and in the Chart granted by the King to the church of St. Martin le Grand, his signature appears as "Wilielmus Malet Princep". In the context of the times, Princep would likely have been interpreted as "leader, or chief". William is believed to have died fighting "Hereward the Wake" in the Fens near Ely Cathedral, which lies between South Lincolnshire, Cambridgeshire and Norfolk (and in the middle of the Malet holdings), in 1071. The Domesday book records that "...He went into the marsh", and that "...he went on the King's service, where he died".

William is generally accepted to be the progenitor of many of the various branches of the Malet family (those that can trace their lines back that far), both in England and in France. The descendants of Durand continued to hold lands in Lincolnshire, and are recorded in Irby on Humber up to the 16th century.

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

NORMAN SHERIFFS
By 1066, when William the Conqueror seized power, he replaced all of the existing sheriffs with his own loyal comrades in arms. When William conveyed the offices of sheriff to his Normans, he also bestowed to them the title "Vicomte," which added nobility to their positions. He allowed Vicomte sheriffs to build castles, a powerful symbol of privilege and a far greater honor than had ever been granted to prior Anglo-Saxon sheriffs. The castles were a sign of aggressive force. This fortification symbolism helped identify William as the incomparable authority in the newly conquered land.

The most famous William the Conqueror sheriff was a man named William Malet, a ferocious warrior. During the Battle of Hasting his horse was killed from under him. Mounting a fresh horse, he continued leading the charge, killing the enemy along the way, to a Norman victory. William continued to use Malet to crush insurgent forces within his reign.. . . As a reward, William named Malet the sheriff of Yorkshire.

King William sought aggressive types for the office of sheriff whose ambitions were consistent with his. Those willing to squeeze the peasants to their maximum were the best qualified in William's eyes. He instituted the practice of selling the office to the highest bidder. This brought forth evil men willing to pay exorbitant prices for the office and then willing to do whatever it took to recoup their investment. . . No one spoke out for the peasantry because their only representative to the king was the very sheriffs embezzling them. The most notorious was Picot, Sheriff of Cambridgeshire. . . . Monks describe him as:

a hungry lion, a prowling wolf, a crafty fox, a filthy swine, a dog without shame, who stuffed his belly like an insatiable beast as though the whole country were a single corpse.

If events reduced production within the shires and thereby reduced the prosperity of King William, the sheriff was then forced to press the peasants even more to make up for the deficiency. In 1083, William levied the highest tax assessment of his reign to make up for the previous year's famine and low production. . . . To enhance their income, sheriffs commonly pillaged Church properties. . . .

The only coin in circulation in twelfth century England was the silver penny. It was the responsibility of the sheriff to police the silver content in the coinage. If the sheriff failed to see that the tender did not meet quality assurance in the amount of silver content versus the alloy percentage, he was held personally liable for the shortage. Because this burden was placed on the sheriffs in the area that effected them the most, their pocketbooks. . . .Enforcement of the matter was particularly unkind under the reign of King Henry II to punish offenders that circulated "bastard" coins. The first offense routinely resulted in the severing of a hand or castration. . . .

The coming of King John in 1199 brought about one of the most stirring periods in the history of the medieval sheriff. . . . As King John waged war against the Welsh, the French, and the Irish, he placed the emphasis upon the sheriffs to finance his wars. . . . Because of the sheriff's authority and ability to raise funds, the 13th century saw the sheriff as the most powerful administrative force in medieval England. . . .

King John personally knew every one of the 100 or so sheriffs that he appointed between 1199 and 1216. Some were his intimate friends and most trusted advisors. In contrast to the prior practice of King Richard, he appointed only two members of the Church to the post. He instead chose to select intense, secular men, with strong military backgrounds. . . . His deliberate selection of men of harsh demeanor . . . was considered by people of his time as a substantive answer for the difficult issues of the day . . . tough men for tough times. . . .

The epitaph on his tomb records that " he took Corsica and the city of Aleria." In the Fasti he appears as censor in b. c. 258, with C. Duilius, and his epitaph calls him " Consul, Censor, Aedilis."

He was consul b. c. 298, with Cn. Fulvius Maximus Cen-tumalus, carried on war against the Etruscans, and defeated them near Volaterrae. In the following year, b. c. 297, he served as legate under the con­sul Q. Fabius Maximus, against the Samnites (comp. Frontin. ii. 4. § 2). In b. c. 295 he again served under the consuls Fabius Maximus and Decius Mus, with the title of propraetor, in the great cam­paign of that year against the Gauls, Etruscans, and Samnites. In b. c. 293 he again fought, under L. Papirius Cursor, in the campaign which brought the Samnite war to a close (Liv. x. 11, 12,14, 25, 26, 40, 41). This is the narrative of Livy, but we have a very different account of his exploits in the epitaph on his tomb, which says nothing of his victory in Etruria, but speaks of his conquests in Samnium and Apulia.* Niebuhr supposes that his conquests in Samnium and Apulia were made n b. c. 297, when he was the legate of Fabius Maximus (Niebuhr, Hist, of Rome, vol. iii. pp. 363—366, 378). This Scipio was the great-grand-father of the conqueror of Hannibal. The genealogy of the family can be traced with more certainty from this time.  * The epitaph on the tomb of this Scipio is the first contemporary record of a Roman which has reached our times. We subjoin a copy of it taken from Orelli (Inscr. No. 550):  CORNELIVS LVC1VS SCIPIO BARBATVS GNAIVOD PATRE II PROGNATVS FORTIS VIR SAPIENSQVE QVOIVS FORMA V1RTVTEI PARISVMA || FVIT CONSOL CENSOR AIDILIS QVEI FVIT APVD VOS TAVRASIA CISAVNA || SAMNIO CEPIT SVBIGIT OMNE LOVCANA OPSIDESQVE ABDOVCIT.  In more modern Latin this inscription might thus be written : —" Cornelius Lucius Scipio Barbatus, Cnaeo patre prognatus, fortis vir sapiensque, cujus forma virtuti parissuma fuit, Consul, Censor, Aedi-lis, qui fuit apud vos, Taurasiam, Cisaunam (in) Samnio cepit, subigit omnem Lucaniam, obsidesque abducit." [Dictionary of Greek and Roman Biography and Mythology III:741] Quintus Caecilius Metallus Metellus Quintus Caecilius Metellus Lucius Aemilia Paullus 0130 BC - 0077 BC Marcus Aemilia Lepidus M. aemilius Q. f. M. n. lepidus, the son of No. 11, and the father of the triumvir, was praetor in Sicily in B. c. 81, where he earned a character by his oppressions only second to that of Verres. (Cic. in Verr. iii. 91.) In the civil wars between Marius and Sulla he belonged at first to the party of the latter, and acquired considerable property by the purchase of confiscated estates ; but he was afterwards seized with the ambition of becoming a leader of the popular party, to which post he might perhaps consider himself as in some degree entitled, by having married Appuleia, the daughter of the celebrated tribune Appuleius Saturninus. He accordingly sued for the consulship in B. c. 79, in opposition to Sulla ; but the latter, who had resigned his dictatorship in this year, felt that his power was too well esta­blished to be shaken by any thing that Lepidus could do, and accordingly made no efforts to oppose his election. Pompey, moreover, whose vanity was inflamed by the desire of returning a candidate against the wishes of the all-powerful Sulla, ex­erted himself warmly to secure the election of Lepidus, and not only succeeded, but brought him in by more votes than his colleague, Q. Lutatius Catulus, who belonged to the ruling party. Sulla viewed all these proceedings with great indifference, and contented himself with warning Pompey, when he met him returning in pride from the election, that he had strengthened one who would be his rival.  The death of Sulla in the following year, b. c. 78, soon after Lepidus and Catulus had entered upon their consulship, determined Lepidus to make the bold attempt to rescind the laws of Sulla and overthrow the aristocratical constitution which he had established. There were abundant materials of discontent in Italy, and it would not have been difficult to collect a numerous army ; but the vic­tory of the aristocratical party was too firmly secured by Sulla's military colonies to fear any attempts that Lepidus might make, since he did not possess either sufficient influence or sufficient talent to take the lead in a great revolution. He seems, moreover, to have reckoned upon the as­sistance of Pompey, who remained, on the con­trary, firm to the aristocracy. The first movement of Lepidus was to endeavour to prevent the burial of Sulla in the Campus Martius, but he was obliged to relinquish this design through the opposition of Pompey. He next formally proposed several laws with the object of abolishing Sulla's constitution, but their exact provisions are not mentioned by the ancient writers. We know, however, that he proposed to recall all persons who had been proscribed, and. to restore to them their property, which had passed into the hands of other parties. Such a measure would alone have thrown all Italy into confusion again. At Rome the utmost agitation prevailed. Catulus showed himself a firm and dauntless friend of the aristocracy, and appears to have obtained a tribune to put his veto upon the rogations of Lepidus. The exasperation between the two parties rose to its height, and the senate saw no other means of avoiding an immediate outbreak except by inducing the two consuls to swear that they would not take up arms against one another. To this they both consented, and Lepidus the more willingly, as the oath, according to his interpretation, only bound him during his consulship, and he had now time to collect resources for the coming contest. These the senate itself supplied him with. They had in the previous year voted Italy and Further Gaul as the consular provinces, and the latter had fallen to Lepidus. Anxious now to remove him from Italy, the senate ordered him to repair to his province, under the pretence of threatening dangers, and furnished him with money and supplies. Lepidus left the city; but instead of repairing to his province he stopped in Etruria and collected an army. The senate thereupon ordered him to return to the city in order to hold the comitia for the election of the consuls ; but he would not trust himself in their hands. This year seems to have passed away without any decisive measures on either side. At the beginning of the following year, however, b. c. 77, Lepidus was declared a public enemy by the senate. Without waiting for the forces of M. Brutus, who had espoused his cause and commanded in Cisalpine Gaul, Lepidus marched straight against Rome. Here Pompey and Catulus were prepared to receive him ; and in the battle which was fought under the walls of the city, in the Campus Martius, Lepidus was easily defeated and obliged to take to flight. While Pompey marched against Brutus in Cisalpine Gaul, whom he overcame and put to death [brutus, No. 20], Catulus followed Lepidus into Etruria. Finding it impossible to hold his ground in Italy, Lepidus sailed with the remainder of his forces to Sardinia; but repulsed even in this island by the propraetor, he died shortly afterwards of chagrin and sorrow, which is "said to have been increased by the discovery of the infidelity of his wife. The aristocratical party used their victory with great moderation, probably from fear of driving their opponents to join Sertorius in Spain. (Sail.

[Dictionary of Greek and Roman Biography and Mythology III:764-765]  ____________________________________  Marcus Aemilius Lepidus died c. 77 BC, Sardinia  Roman senator who attempted unsuccessfully to overthrow the constitution imposed by the dictator Sulla.  Although he had supported Sulla's rise to power and became wealthy in the Sullan proscriptions, Lepidus was elected consul for 78 with the help of Pompey, despite Sulla's opposition. When Sulla died in 78, Lepidus sought to rescind the dictator's measures. He called for the renewed distribution of cheap grain, recall of exiles, restoration of confiscated lands, and, ultimately, the reestablishment of the office of tribune. When his proposals were rejected by the Senate, he gathered forces in Etruria and Cisalpine Gaul and marched on Rome, demanding reelection to the consulship for 77. After being repelled by the other consul, Quintus Lutatius Catulus, at Rome's Milvian Bridge, Lepidus was driven by Pompey into the port of Cosa (modern Ansedonia) in Etruria. From there he escaped to Sardinia, where he died shortly thereafter, after suffering a series of defeats at the hands of the propraetor, Gaius Valerius Triarius. His son Marcus Aemilius Lepidus was one of the triumvirs who ruled Rome after 43.

In revenge, Cormac the High King slew him and twelve princes of Leinster, and the Boromha tribute was exacted annually thereafter: 30 white cows and white calves, 30 brass collars, and 30 chains Enda Niadh Arabus Harmonia HARMONIA, one of the inspired conceptions of some long-forgotten writer, was a tribute to the ability of the Greeks to create an ideal balance. She was the daughter of Love (Aphrodite) and War (Ares). Her brothers were Deimos (Terror) and Phobos (Fear), both mainly thought of in terms of war. Again, as if to balance things, some called Eros and Anteros full brothers as well, but in any case they were half-brothers. After Cadmus founded Thebes, Zeus gave him Harmonia as a wife. This was a union favored by all the gods and goddesses of Olympus, especially Athena, who was the self-appointed protectress of Cadmus. All the Olympians attended the wedding, and rich presents were give, the most opulent being a necklace of exquisite design studded with precious stones. Fashioned for him by Hephaestus, the was the groom's gift to the bride, along with a handsome peplus, or robe. Some said the necklace was presented to her by Aphrodite or Athena. Some said Cadmus had received it from his sister Europa, who had earlier received it from Zeus, but this would make no sense, since Cadmus never saw Europa again after her abduction. In fact, his fruitless search for her had resulted in his founding Thebes. This beautiful jewelry, whatever its origin, came with a curse as it was passed from generation to generation. The results of its attraction culminated in the battle of the Seven against Thebes and the subsequent campaign of the Epigoni. Even in Harmonia's possession, its virulence seemed to spread like poison over the family. The children of Harmonia by Cadmus were Autonoe, Ino, Semele, Agave, and Polydorus. While they were small, Harmonia seemed to lead a rather idyllic life. Undeniably immortal herself, she spent time in the company of other immortals such as the Charites (Graces), Hebe (the goddess of youth), the Horae (Seasons), the Muses, Apollo, and her mother Aphrodite. Some even claimed that the Charites were her daughters by Zeus, who was already her grandfather and later would become her son-in-law as well. The mellow life enjoyed by Harmonia came to an end when her daughters grew up. Ino's husband went insane and tried to kill her, but she leapt into the sea and became a sea divinity. Autonoe married the god Aristaeus, but he left her when their son Actaeon was turned into a stag, then killed and eaten by his hunting dogs. Semele was burned alive when she forced her lover Zeus to appear to her in his full splendor. He managed to save the child she was carrying, which turned out to be Dionysus. This grandchild did not help things when later he converted his aunts to his worship. One day the three of them got drunk and, mistaking him for a wild beast, tore Agave's son, Pentheus, apart with their bare hands. Only Polydorus, the son, turned out reasonably well, if we do not dwell on the fact that he was the great-grandfather of Oedipus. Cadmus and Harmonia left Thebes even before the death of Pentheus. Their leaving has never been explained; perhaps the tragedies of the other daughters caused them to go to a remote place. There was a prophecy among the Enchelean people in northern Greece that if Cadmus would lead them against their enemies, the Illyrians, the would be victorious. Cadmus did so, and the prophecy was fulfilled. He and Harmonia then ruled in Illyria. Although grandparents, they produced another son, Illyrius. Afterward, the gods changed them into dragons and transported them to Elysium, or the Isles of the Blessed. A variation of this account calls Harmonia the daughter of Zeus and Electra, daughter of Atlas. She was therefore sister to Dardanus and Iasion. She and her brothers lived on the island of Samothrace, where they had gone from Arcadia. When Cadmus went there searching for Europa, he fell in love with Harmonia. In this version also, the gods smiled on the marriage and attended the wedding celebration on Samothrace. Then Cadmus took Harmonia to Thebes, and the two stories merged at that point. The second version might have arisen in conjunction with the strong Cabeirian influence in Theban worship (the Cabeiri were the divinities worshipped on the islands of Lemnos and Samothrace). Dardanus and Iasion taught the mysteries in the Aegean and Asia Minor, and it would seem appropriate that Harmonia introduced them on the Greek mainland.

Gaza had acted as a principle seaport on the Mediterranean for Nabataea n merchants. The people of Gaza appealed for help to Aretas II (100 - 9 6 BC), the ruler of the Nabataeans. Aretas, however, did not respond in t ime and Gaza was taken. While this may appear as a puzzling situation, f or Gaza was a very vital port in the Nabataean trading empire, Aretas I I was active in other ways. He expanded Nabataean territory to the nort h, which would later prove to have been a very prudent move. Sometime l ater, he seems to have negotiated a way for the Nabataean merchants to c ontinue to use Gaza as a port city, since Alexander Jannaeus does not a ppear to have occupied Gaza (Philip Hammond, The Nabataeans, pg. 1 6). A later Roman source credits Aretas II with 700 sons.

"That this family of Alditheley, vulgarly called Audley," says Dugdale, "came to be great and eminent, the ensuing discourse will sufficiently manifest: but that the rise thereof was no higher than King John's time, and that the first who assumed this surname was a branch of that ancient and noble family of Verdon, whose chief seat was at Alton Castle in the northern part of Staffordshire, I am very inclined to believe; partly by reason that Henry had the inheritance of Alditheley given him by Nicholas de Verdon, who d. in the 16th Henry III [1232], or near that time; and partly for that he bore for his arms the same ordinary as Vernon did. . .so that probably the ancestor of this Henry first seated himself at Alditheley: for that there hath been an ancient mansion there, the large moat, northwards from the parish church there (somewhat less than a furlong, and upon the chief part of a fair ascent), do sufficiently manifest."

Henry de Alditheley, to whom Dugdale alludes above, being in great favour with Ranulph, Earl of Chester and Lincoln (the most powerful subject of England in his time), obtained from that nobleman a grant of Newhall in Cheshire with manors in Staffordshire and other parts--and for his adhesion to King John, in that monarch's struggle with the insurrectionary barons, a royal grant of the lordship of Storton in Warwickshire, part of the possessions of Roger de Summerville. In the first four years of King Henry III [1216-1220], he executed the office of sheriff for the counties of Salop and Stafford as deputy for his patron, the great Earl Ranulph. In the 10th of Henry III [1226], this Henry de Alditheley was appointed governor of the castles of Carmarthen and Cardigan and made sheriff the next year of the counties of Salop and Stafford and constable of the castles of Salop and Bridgenorth, which sheriffalty he held for five years. Upon his retirement from office, he had a confirmation of all such lands whereof he was then possessed as well those granted to him by Ranulph, Earl of Chester, and Nicholas de Verdon, as those in Ireland given him by Hugh de Lacy, Earl of Ulster, whose constable he was in that province. He subsequently obtained divers other territorial grants from the crown, but, notwithstanding, when Richard Mareschall, Earl of Pembroke, rebelled and made an incursion into Wales, the king, Henry III, thought it prudent to secure the persons of this Henry and all the other barons-marchers. He was afterwards, however, constituted governor of Shrewsbury in place of John de Lacy, Earl of Lincoln, and, on the death of John, Earl of Chester, governor of the castle of Chester, and also that of Beeston, then called the "Castle on the Rock," and soon after made governor of Newcastle-under-Lyne. This powerful feudal baron m. Bertred, dau. of Ralph de Meisnil-warin, of Cheshire, and had a son, James, and a dau., Emme, who m.

Note: William de Longespee,eldest son of William, Earl of Salisbury, "commonly called," says Sir William Dugdale, "by Matthew Paris, and most of our other historians, Earl of Salisbury, but erroneous, for all records wherein mention is made of his do not give him that title, but called him barely William Longespee. Nay, there is an old chronicle who saith expressly, that, in anno 12233 (17th Henry III), he was girt with the sword of knighthood, but not made Earl of Salisbury." This William made a pilgrimage to the Holy Land in 1240, and again in 1247, having assumed the cross for a second pilgrimage, proceeded to Rome, and thus preferred a suit to the sovereign pontiff. "Sir, you see that I am signed with the cross and am on my journey with the King of France to fight in this pilgrimage. My name is great and of note, viz., William Longespee, but my estate is slender, for the king of England, my kinsman and liege lord, hath bereft me of the title of earl and of that estate, but this he did judiciously, and not in displeasure, and by the impulse of his will; therefore I do not blame him for it. Howbeit, I am necessitated to have recourse to your holiness for favour, desiring your assistance in this distress. We see here (quoth he) that Earl Richard (of Cornwall) who, though he is not signed with the cross, yet, through the especial grace of your holiness, he hath got very much money from those who are signed, and therefore, I, who am signed and in want, do intreat the like favour." The pope taking into consideration the elegance of his manner, the efficacy of his reasoning, and the comeliness of his person, conceded in part what he desire; whereupon he received above 1,000 marks from those who had been so signed. In about two years after this, anno 1249, having received the blessing of his noble mother, Ela, then abbess of Lacock, he commenced his journey at the head of a company of 200 English horse and, being received with great respect by the king of France, joined that monarch's army. In Palestine he became subsequently pre-eminently distinguished and fell, in 1250, in a great conflict with the Saracens, near Damieta, having previously kill above 100 of the enemy with his own hand. It was reported that, the bight before the battle, his mother Ela, the abbess, saw in a vision the heavens open and her son armed at all parts (whose shield she well knew), received with joy by the angels. Remembering the occurrence when the news of his death reached her in six months after, she held up her hands, and, with a cheerful countenance, said, "I, thy handmaid, give thanks to thee, O Lord, that out of my sinful flesh thou hast caused such a champion against thine enemies to be born." It was also said that, in 1252, when messengers were sent to the Soldan of Babylon for redemption of those who had been taken prisoner, he thus addressed them -- "I marvel at you, Christians, who reverence the bones of the dead, why you inquire not for those of the renowned and right noble William Longespee, because there be many things reported of them (whether fabulous or not I cannot say), viz., that, in the dark of the night there have been appearances at his tomb, and that to some, who called upon his God, many things were bestowed from Heaven. For which cause, and in regard of his great worth and nobility of birth, we have caused his body to be here intombed." Whereupon the messenger desiring it, the remains were delivered to them by the Soldan, and thence conveyed to Acre where they were buried in the church of St. Cross. This eminent and heroic personage m. Idonea, dau. and heir of Richard de Camville, and had issue, William de Longespee, his son and heir.

Fundanius Lamia Aelanus Annia Vera Verus Sextus Cocceius Severianus ~1173 - 7 Mar 1225/1226 William de Longspee Earl of Salisbury

William Longespee became Earl of Salisbury in right of his wife. In the beginning of King John's reign this nobleman was sheriff of Wiltshire, he was afterwards warden of the marches of Wales, and then sheriff of the counties of Cambridge and Huntingdon. About this period (14th John ) [1213], the baronial contest commencing, William Longespee at once espoused the royal cause and maintained it so stoutly that he was included by the barons amongst the evil councillors of the crown. The next year he was again constituted sheriff of Wilts and he held the office from that time during the remainder of his life. He had also a grant of the honour of Eye, in Suffolk, and was the same year a witness to the agreement made between King John and the barons as guarantee for the former. He was likewise a witness to the charter whereby John resigned his kingdom to the Pope. After this we find him a principal leader in the royal army until the very close of John's reign, when he swerved in his loyalty and joined, for a short period, the ranks of Lewis of France. Upon the accession, however, of Henry III [1216], he did homage to that monarch, particularly for the county of Somerset, which the king then gave him; and joining with William Marshall. governor of the king and kingdom, raised the siege of Lincoln when he was constituted sheriff of Lincolnshire and governor of Lincoln Castle, being invested at the same time with sheriff of the co. of Somerset, and governorship of the castle of Shirburne. His lordship soon afterwards accompanied the Earl of Chester to the Holy Land, and was at the battle of Damieta, in which the crescent triumphed. He served subsequently in the Gascon wars, whence returning to England, Dugdale relates, "there arose so great a tempest at sea that, despairing of life, he threw his money and rich apparel overboard. But when all hopes were passed, they discerned a mighty taper of wax burning bright at the prow of the ship and a beautiful woman standing by it who preserved it from wind and rain so that it gave a clear and bright lustre. Upon sight of which heavenly vision both himself and the mariners concluded of their future security, but everyone there being ignorant what this vision might portend except the earl, he, however, attributed it to the benignity of the blessed virgin by reason that, upon the day when he was honoured with the girdle of knighthood, he brought a taper to her altar to be lighted ever day at mass when the canonical hours used to be sung, and to the intent that, for this terrestrial light, he might enjoy that which is eternal." A rumour, however, reached England of the earls having been lost, and Hubert de Burgh, with the concurrence of the king, provided a suitor for his supposed widow, but the lady, in the interim, having received letters from her husband, rejected the suit with indignation. The earl soon after came to the king at Marlborough and, being received with great joy, he preferred a strong complaint against Hubert de Burgh, adding that, unless the king would do him right therein, he should vindicate himself otherwise to the disturbance of the public peace. Hubert, however, appeased his wrath with rich presents, and invited him to his table, where it is asserted that he was poisoned, for he retired to his castle of Salisbury in extreme illness and died almost immediately after, anno 1226. His lordship left issue, four sons and five daus., viz., William, his successor; Richard, a canon of Salisbury; Stephen, Justiciary of Ireland; Nicholas, bishop of Salisbury; Isabel, m. to William de Vesci; Ela, m. 1st, to Thomas, Earl of Warwick, and 2ndly to Philip Basset, of Hedendon; Idonea, m. to William de Beauchamp, Baron of Bedford; Lora, a nun at Lacock; and Ela, jun., m. to William de Odingsells.

I have attached William to Rosamund Clifford as that is how it is shown by Brian Tompsett at Directory of Royal Genealogical Data, although he provides the following notes: "The House of Clifford, Chapter 5: Much controversy surrounds the identity of the Mother of William, for Rosamund was not the king's only mistress, though there are many who believe she was. Those who dispute Rosamund's claim base their case on the disparity in the ages of all concerned, but there is other evidence as well which can not be ignored. Unfortunately, the records date neither the birth of Rosamund nor that of her father, or her reputed sons. Documents also indicate an Ida, and an Ykenai as his mother. Died on Crusade."

William Longsword, 3rd earl of Salisbury, Longsword also spelled LONGESPÉE (d. March 7, 1226, Salisbury, Wiltshire, Eng.), an illegitimate son of Henry II of England, and a prominent baron, soldier, and administrator under John and Henry III. He acquired his lands and title from Richard I, who in 1196 gave him the hand of the heiress Ela, or Isabel, daughter of William, earl of Salisbury. He held numerous official positions in England under John.

He was sent on missions to France (1202) and to Germany (1209). In 1213-14 he organized John's Flemish allies, taking part in the destruction (1213) of the French fleet at Damme, then the port of Bruges, and leading the right wing of the allied army at Bouvines (July 27, 1214), where he was captured. He was exchanged and was back in England by May 1215, when he was employed by John in inspecting the defenses of royal castles and fighting the rebels in the southwest.

During John's war against the barons, Salisbury deserted the king after the landing of Louis of France (May 1216); he returned to royal allegiance, however, by March 1217, fought at Lincoln (May) and Sandwich (August), and attested the Treaty of Kingston (September 1217). Salisbury held various posts during the minority of Henry III and served against the Welsh in 1223 and in Gascony in 1225. He and his wife were benefactors of Salisbury Cathedral and laid foundation stones of the new cathedral in 1220. William was buried there and his effigy, a splendid early example, still survives.

In October 1360 he was in the vanguard of the army under the Duke of Lancaster, and was joint marshal with the Earl of Warwick; on 24 August 1360 he was appointed with others to treat for peace with France; and later to discuss the title to the Duchy of Brittany; and he was a party to the treaty of Bretigny. In May 1361 he was about to travel to Ireland, where he was from September 1361 to 8 February 1361/2. In 1369 he was an executor of the Earl of Warwick's will. On 30 October 1369 he crossed to France with the King.

He married, 1stly, probably about 1326-27, Katharine, daughter of Sir John HASTANG of Chebsey, co. Stafford, by Eve his wife; 2ndly, before 6 July 1336, Margaret, daughter and heir of Hugh (DE AUDLEY), EARL OF GLOUCESTER and LORD AUDLEY, by Margaret, widow of Piers (DE GAVASTON), EARL OF CORNWALL, and daughter of Gilbert (DE CLARE), EARL OF GLOUCESTER AND HERTFORD. On her father's death, 10 November 1347, she became, according to modern doctrine, suo jure BARONESS AUDLEY (1317). She died after 28 January 1347/8. Ralph died 31 August 1372, leaving a will, and was buried at Tonbridge, with his wife Margaret. [Complete Peerage XII/1:174-6, (transcribed by Dave Utzinger)]

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

Ralph de Stafford, 2nd baron, summoned to parliament from 14 January, 1337, to 25 November, 1350. This nobleman attaining majority in the 17th Edward II [1324], and then doing his homage, had livery of his father's lands, and the next ensuing year, being made a knight by bathing and other sacred ceremonies, had robes, &c., as a banneret, allowed him out of the king's wardrobe for the solemnity; after which he soon became a personage of celebrity in the wars of King Edward III. His lordship was first engaged in Scotland for some years, and he then embarked for Brittany, where he was made prisoner at the siege of Nantes. In the 19th Edward III [1346], he was sent into Gascony with Henry of Lancaster, Earl of Derby, and while that nobleman assaulted Bergerath by land, Lord Stafford commanded the force which attacked it by sea. the next year he was constituted seneschal of Aquitaine, when John, son and heir of Philip, King of France, coming to besiege Aguillon, where his lordship then resided, he stoutly defended that place against the whole power of the French, until King Edward came to his relief, and forced the enemy to raise the siege. After this, joining his troops with the army of King Edward, he had a principal command in the van of the English at the glorious battle of Cressy. On the termination of this great conflict, his lordship being sent with Sir Reginald Cobham and three heralds to view the slain, reported the number to be 11 great princes, 80 banneret, 1,200 knights, and more than 30,000 common soldiers. He was afterwards, when Calais surrendered, appointed, together with Sir Walter Manny, and the Earl of Warwick, to take possession of that place for the king; and subsequently his lordship was one of the ambassadors deputed to the cardinals of Naples and Claremont, to treat of peace between King Edward and Philip de Valois, then assuming the title of King of France. The next year he had license to make castles of his manor houses at Stafford and Nadeley; as also a grant from the king of £573, for his expenses in foreign service. About this time his lordship was elected a knight of the Garter, being one of the original members of that noble order. In the 24th Edward III [1351], he was in commission with the bishop of Durham, and the Lords Percy and Nevill, to treat with the nobles of Scotland, at York, for a firm and final peace between the two realms; for all which eminent services he was created, 5 March, 1351, Earl of Stafford, and constituted lieutenant and captain-general of the Duchy of Aquitaine. His lordship m. Margaret, only dau. and heiress of Hugh de Audley, Baron Audley, and in right of his wife, Earl of Gloucester, by which alliance he acquired a considerable inheritance, and the Barony of Audeley is presumed to have merged in that of Stafford. He had issue, Ralph, who m. Maud, dau. of Henry, Earl of Derby, Duke of Lancaster, but d.v.p., s.p.; Hugh, his successor; Beatrice, m. 1st, Maurice, son and heir of Maurice, Earl of Desmond, 2ndly, Thomas, Lord Ros, of Hamlake, and 3rdly, Sir Richard Burley, Knt.; Joane, m. to John, son and heir of John Cherlton, Lord Powis; Elizabeth, m. to Fulke le Strange; and Margaret, m. to Sir John Stafford, Knt. His lordship d. 31 August, 1372, was buried at Tunbridge, and was s. by his only surviving son, Hugh de Stafford.

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

STEPHEN, a count of Brittany, youngest son of Eudon,[a] succeeded his eldest brother, Geoffrey Boterel I, or Geoffrey's son Conan in the Breton lands, and his brother Alan the Black in the honor of Richmond in England, thus uniting all the possessions of the family, but he appears to have been out of possession of the honor of Richmond for a time during the reign of William II. In March 1101, he was a surety for Henry I for the observance of an alliance with Robert, Count of Flanders, and on 3 September 1101 at Windsor he witnessed charters of the King for Herbert, Bishop of Norwich, and for St. Peter's, Bath. On 30 October 1107 he executed at Lamballe a charter for the abbey of SS. Sergius and Bacchus at Angers, and in 1123 at Guingamp one for the abbey of St. Melaine at Rennes. He was a benefactor of the abbey of St. Mary, York, and in the period 1125-35 confirmed to that house gifts of churches, tithes and lands in Yorkshire, Lincolnshire, Cambridgeshire, and Norfolk, which formed part of the honor of Richmond. About the year 1110 he and his, wife founded the Augustinian abbey of Ste. Croix at Guingamp, and In 1130 he founded the Cistercian abbey of Bégard.

He married Hawise, whose parentage is unknown (e). He died 21 April, probably in 1135 or I 136. His tomb was in the quire of St. Mary's, York. [Complete Peerage X:786-7, (transcribed by Dave Utzinger)]

[a] The filiation of Stephen has been a matter of dispute since the lives of him and his father cover about 135 years, and those of the two and Stephen's youngest son, Count Henry, about 180. The descent, however, is beyond doubt, since in a charter for St. Edmund's he describes himself as "Stephanus comes Britanniae Eudonis comitis filius" and refers to his brother Alan the Red and to his sons Geoffrey, Alan and Henry, and this is borne out by other charters, in particular that of Duke Conan. There is no express evidence that Stephen was the son of Eudon's wife Orguen, and he may have been the issue of a second marriage.

(e) She was living in 1135, when, as "comitissa Hadewisa" she witnessed her husband's charter for St. Edmunds. In the first edition of the present work it is stated that she was Countess of Guingamp and that Stephen became Count of Guingamp in her right. For this there seems to be insufficient foundation: Guingamp in the diocese of Treguier would be a part of the lands of Count Eudon.

~1215 - ~1270 Reginald Beauple 55 55 ~1190 Robert Beauple 0999 - 7 Jan 1078/1079 Eudes de Penthievre Count of PENTHIEVRE & GOELLO

GEOFFREY, DUKE OF BRITTANY, married Hawise, daughter of Richard I, DUKE OFNORMANDY, and died in 1008, leaving two sons, Alan and Eudon. During their mother's lifetime the two brothers seem to have been joint rulers of Brittany, but on her death, on 21 February 1034, dissensions broke out between them; peace was restored by a settlement under which Eudon received a territory corresponding roughly to the dioceses of Dol, St. Mialo, St. Brieuc and Tréguier, reduced in the hands of his successors to the two last-named dioceses, while Alan retained the rest of Brittany. After the death of Alan in 1040 Eudon seized the government of Brittany to the exclusion of his nephew Conan, who recovered it in 1057. Eudon died 7 January 1079. He married Orguen, whose parentage is unknown. [Complete Peerage X:779-81, (transcribed by Dave Utzinger)]

Note: In the chart on X:781, CP notes that it is unsure if Orguen was mother of Stephen, although CP mentions no other wife. AR does indicate that Stephen was son of Agnes, probably daughter of Alan Canhiart.

Note: According to the chart on CP:781, Geoffrey had two different sons named Alan, Count of Brittany, Lord of Richmond: Alan "The Red", dsp. 4 Aug 1089 and Alan "The Black", dsp. 1093. He also had possibly elder sons (Geoffrey, d. 24 Aug 1093, & Brian, Count of Brittany, held Cornwall, living 1069) and younger sons (William, Robert, & Richard).

By her, it was then granted together with the custody of the heirs of Thomas Maunsell during their minority, to Richard de la Vache, who was therefore the lord of Shenley in 1278, and who acquired land there in that year.  Thomas Maunsell had left two daughters, Mabel and Alice. Mabel was married to the son of Richard de la Vache, also called Richard. --- Alice married Robert Verdon in about 1283 without her guardian's permission, and entered on certain lands in Shenley which Margery, widow of Thomas Maunsell held in dower (widow's share of her husband's estate). This led to trouble with Richard de la Vache the elder, against whom the Verdons brought a suit in 1284. This was to obtain possession of their moiety (half) of the manor, and both Richard de la Vache the elder and the heirs of Thomas Maunsell laid claim to the manorial rights in Shenley that year. In 1285 both sisters and their husbands redeemed their father's lands from William de Aette and divided Shenley between them. The moiety appertaining to the Vaches was settled by them in the following year on Robert de Broughton. It was later seized by The Crown for their default against Thomas Poyle, and an attempt to regain it in 1290 evidently succeeded, for in 1294 Richard de la Vache was dealing with land in Shenley. In 1308 he settled his Shenley property on himself for life, with remainder successively to his sons Matthew and Richard and his daughter Maud and their heirs.  Matthew succeeded to Shenley before 1316. In 1326 a settlement was made by Walter de la Vache of a messuage (dwelling house and adjacent buildings) and 24 acres of land in Shenley on himself for life, with remainder successively to William, son of Wymark of Shenley, to Joan, sister of William, to Walter, son of Matthew de la Vache, Thomas his brother and Walter's heirs. The Vache's moiety of Shenley Maunsell Manor; as it was called in the 14th and 15th centuries, descended with their manors in Aston Clinton and Chalfont St. Giles with which it was included in the settlements in the late 14th and early 15th centuries. It passed with Aston Clinton to the Kirkham's, and after the death of Anne Kirkham in 1427, then a widow, it was held by a John Kirkham, who is described as of Shenley ABT 0960/0981 Judicaël de Nantes ABT 1345/1355 - ~1399 Eleanor de Mowbray ~1345 Dafydd ap Dafydd ~1350 Nest verch Ieuan ~1320 Dafydd ap Llwyd ~1325 Ieuan ap Gruffudd ~1328 Efa verch Gruffudd ~1295 Gruffudd ~1288 Griffith ap Penmanchno David Goch ~1295 Margaret verch Hywel D. 1282 David ap Wales Griffith 0965 Melisende Chien Angharad verch Heilin ~1226 Dafydd ap Gruffudd ~1240 Tangwystl verch Owain Fflam ~1210 Owain Fflam ~1235 Heilin ap Tudor ~1254 Agnes verch Owain Owain ap Bleddyn ~1232 Gwenlian verch Madog ~1295 Llwyd ~1170 Rhirid ap Iowerth ABT 0940/0950 - 0981 Hoel de Nantes ~1190 Tibot de Pulford ~1120 - 1170 Iowerth ap Madog 50 50 ~1135 Arddun ferch Llewelyn Madog ap Ednywain Sources indicate mother had two husbands both dying about the same time with no indication of divorce.

This nobleman, after much difficulty, and a long siege in his castle of Wigmore, Mortimer subdued, and delivered into the king's hands. When, as a reward for his good service, he obtained a grant of all Edric's estates, and seated himself thenceforward at Wigmore. Independently of these great Welsh territorial possessions, Ralph Mortimer enjoyed by the bounty of his royal master sundry lordships and manors in other parts of the realm, which he held at the time of the General Survey. In the beginning of Rufus's reign, Mortimer took part with Curthose, but he subsequently changed sides, and being constituted general of the forces sent to oppose that prince in Normandy, by King Henry I., he totally routed the enemy, and brought Curthose prisoner to the king. He married Millicent ________, by whom he had issue:

The family of Mortemer derives its name from Mortemer (Mortuo-Mari) in
Pays-de-Caux at the source of the Eaulne River. The castle of St.
Victor-en-Caux was the chief barony of the family, which is said to have
sprung from a marriage of Walter de St. Martin and a niece of the Duchess
Gonnor. It was possessed by Roger de Mortemer in 1054, on which date he was
one of the commanders of Duke William's forces at the battle of Mortemer. He
sheltered in his castle, after the battle, his father-in-law, Raoul III. the
Great, Comte de Valois and d'Amiens, by Oderic Vital called de Montdidier, one
of the French commanders, until he was able to conduct him safely to his own
territories three days later. For this reason Roger was banished by Duke
William and his estates confiscated. He was later pardoned and his possessions
returned with the exception of the castle of Mortemer, which the Duke had
given to Roger's brother, William de Warren I. He contributed sixty vassals to
the fleet of Duke William and it is generally conceded that he was too old to
have been present at Senlac, although he made a donation to the abbey of St.
Ouen in 1074 and died prior to the compilation of the General Survey. Wace
mentions "Hue de Mortemer" as having taken part in the battle. Many
commentators believe this to be an error, contending that Wace should have
chronicled Roger or his son, Ralph, or both, because the only recorded Hugh
was the son of Ralph and therefore too young to have participated in this
event. There is no proof, however, that if not of this branch of the family, a
Hugh could not have sprung from another. Eyton says, "There is evidence that
Roger had two sons in addition to Ralph, namely, Hugh and William."
Nevertheless, Ralph was certainly Roger's heir, and if the son of Hawisa, the
only known wife of Roger, he must have been young at the time he attended the
Conquest. He possessed at the compilation of Domesday 123 manors, in addition
to the castle of Wigmore, in Herefordshire, which was the chief seat of his
barony. In 1088 Ralph was opposed to William Rufus in favor of Robert Curthose
(Courteheuse), but two years later, being pardoned, he accompanied Robert,
Count of Eu, and Walter Giffard to Normandy, where they arrayed themselves
against Duke Robert. In 1100 he founded the priory of Wigmore, at which time
it was stated that Roger de Mortemer, descended from his family. Ralph, by his
wife Millicent, had issue, Hugh, who succeeded him, William, to whom his
brother gave Chelmarsh and who was ancestor of the Mortimers of Attleborough
and Hawise, who married Stephen, Comte of Aumale. From this family descended
the Lords of Wigmore, Earls of March, Lords Mortimer of Richard's Castle, etc.
(Reference: Crispin & Macary, "Falaise Rolls").

1. Roger de Mortimer, the first of this name upon record is deemed by some to
have been the son of William de Warren, and by others, of Walter de St.
Martin, brother of that William. Which Roger was the founder of the abbey of
St. Victor, in Normandy. "It is reported," says Dugdale, "that in the year
1054 (which was twelve years before the Norman Conquest), when Odo, brother of
Henry, King of France, invaded the territory of Evreux, Duke William sent this
Roger, then his general (with Robert, Earl of Ewe, and other stout soldiers),
to resist his attempts; who meeting with Odo near to the castle of Mortimer,
gave him battle, and obtained a glorious victory. It is further observable of
this Roger, that he was by consanguity allied to the Norman duke (Afterwards
King, by the name of William the Conqueror), his mother being niece to
Gunnora, wife of Richard, Duke of Normandy, great grandmother to the Conqueror.
" The presumed son of this Roger, was Ralph de Mortimer.

June 10, 1190, Kingdom of Armenia byname FREDERICK BARBAROSSA (ITALIAN: REDBEARD) duke of Swabia (as Frederick III, 1147-90) and German king and Holy Roman emperor (1152-90), who challenged papal authority and sought to establish German predominance in western Europe. He engaged in a long struggle with the cities of northern Italy (1154-83), sending six major expeditions southward. He died while on the Third Crusade to the Holy Land. Early years. Frederick was the son of Frederick II, duke of Swabia, and Judith, daughter of Henry IX, duke of Bavaria, of the rival dynasty of the Welfs. After succeeding his father as duke of Swabia, Frederick was elected German king on March 4, 1152, in Frankfurt, succeeding his uncle, Emperor Conrad III. Frederick's contemporaries believed that, because he united in himself the blood of the Welfs and the Hohenstaufen, he would solve the internal problems of the kingdom. The announcement of his election, which he sent to Pope Eugenius III, made it plain that Frederick I was not ready to recognize the preeminence over the emperors that the popes had won during the quarrel over the right of investiture of bishops and abbots. Frederick, moreover, filled several vacant episcopal sees, thereby violating the Concordat of Worms of 1122. Nevertheless, he was to learn that he could not prevail against the papacy as easily as the earlier emperors, Otto I and Henry III, had done because the political balance of the West had changed. Under the powerful emperor Manuel I Comnenus, the Byzantine Empire had grown to be a political factor in the Mediterranean and in Italy. Southern Italy and Sicily were united in the Norman kingdom of Roger II. The cities of the Lombards, which had been little more than a nuisance to the earlier emperors, had now become invincible. Frederick started his struggle for the old goal of the predominance of the Empire over the European monarchies with great political skill. By not recognizing the treaty of alliance between his predecessor, Conrad III, and Manuel I Comnenus of Byzantium against Roger II of Sicily, Frederick forced Pope Eugenius III to sign the Treaty of Constance (1153) with him because the Pope was more exposed to pressure from the Norman kingdom to the south as well as from Arnold of Brescia in Rome. Frederick promised not to make peace with the Roman commune, headed by Arnold (whom he hanged) or with the Normans without the agreement of the Pope. He also promised not to concede any Italian land to the Byzantine Emperor and, finally, to maintain the position of the papacy (honor papatus). Eugenius III, on his part, promised that Frederick would receive the imperial crown and that the rights of the empire would be maintained. When Manuel of Byzantium offered Frederick a Byzantine princess as wife and attempted to induce him to fight against the Norman kingdom, Frederick refused. The successor of Eugenius III, Pope Adrian IV, honoured the Treaty of Constance and crowned Frederick emperor on June 18, 1155, in Rome. The German princes refused to give Frederick the support necessary to attack the Sicilian kingdom, which, under Roger's son William I (reigned 1154-66), was passing through a crisis. Although Manuel now formed an allegiance with the rebellious Norman barons, the city of Genoa, and the Pope, Adrian still would not accept the Byzantine offer of help against William I of Sicily. After William had brought his crisis to an end, he was able to force the Pope to sign the Concordat of Benevento in 1156 by which Adrian gave William Sicily and the Norman principalities on the mainland as far north as Naples and Capua and granted him special rights for the Sicilian church. This new treaty was in violation of the Treaty of Constance. Cardinal Roland (later Pope Alexander III) was supposed to explain the Pope's new policy to the princes and to the Emperor at the imperial Diet of Besançon 1157. A letter from the Pope, which was translated in an inflammatory manner by the imperial chancellor Rainald of Dassel, caused a critical argument between the papal delegation and the German princes over whether or not the empire was dependent upon the papacy. Adrian explained later that he meant the word beneficium, which had caused all the trouble, to mean benefit and not fief. Attempt to regain imperial rights. In 1158, after Frederick had solved several decisive domestic problems (see below), he began his second campaign in Italy, seeking the complete restoration of the imperial rights. After laying siege to and conquering Milan, which had attempted to oppose him, Frederick opened the Diet of Roncaglia. The goal of this Diet was to define and guarantee the rights of the emperor, which would bring the empire an estimated 30,000 pounds of silver per year. Frederick attempted, beginning in 1158 and especially after 1162, not only to achieve the granting of these rights but also to put a systematic financial administration into effect. His goal was to reduce imperial Italy to a system of well-controlled castles, palaces, and cities, with the self-government of the cities controlled by imperial officials. What the Emperor saw as a restoration of the imperial rights, however, was considered by the cities as a curtailment of their freedom. A tax called the fodrum was levied on all the inhabitants of imperial Italy; in return the Italian nobles and communes were excused from service in Frederick's armies and were guaranteed his protection. A portion of the Italian money went to the German princes; this enabled Frederick to win their support without making too many political concessions to them in Germany. The ecclesiastical princes of the empire, however, still had to render full service for Italy; the archbishopric of Mainz suffered severe financial losses because Archbishop Christian was active for a long time in Italy as imperial legate. The Italian taxes allowed Frederick to enlist mercenaries (Brabantini) in order to free himself militarily, to a certain extent, from the fief holders. The money of Italy was not, however, the only motive of Frederick's Italian policy. The Pope, as well as the cities, felt threatened by a tightly organized imperial state in Italy. In 1159 Cardinal Octavian was elected Pope Victor IV with the support of Frederick, and Cardinal Roland was elected Pope Alexander III in a tumultuous and disputed voting session. Alexander, supported by many cardinals, was also immediately recognized by William of Sicily as the true pope. At the council of 1160 in Pavia, convened by the Emperor, only Victor IV was present and was declared the rightful pope, thereby earning Alexander's hostility. Relations with Pope Alexander III. Alexander III, one of the greatest lawyers of the church, wanted to found a papacy that would be independent of the Emperor; he excommunicated Frederick in 1160. France, England, Spain, Hungary, the Lombards, and even Emperor Manuel joined Alexander's party; Alexander retired to France in 1161, where he remained until 1165. John of Salisbury asked at that time: "Who made the Germans judges of the nations?" Barbarossa's attempt to persuade King Louis VII of France to try to heal the schism when they met at Saint-Jean-de-Losne on the Saône was of no avail. Alexander attempted to bring Frederick back into the church but with no success. At Alexander's urging, the Byzantine emperor Manuel Comnenus now prepared to form an alliance with France and was ready to recognize the Pope. In 1162 Milan was destroyed by Frederick. When Victor IV died in 1164, Paschal III (reigned 1164-68) was quickly elected as the new imperial pope on the urging of Rainald of Dassel, perhaps against the will of the Emperor. Because of friction between Louis VII and Henry II of England and because the latter was embroiled in an argument with Thomas Becket, Barbarossa decided to form an alliance with Henry II. At the Diet of 1165 in Würzburg, Frederick swore not to recognize Alexander III. The promises made by the English delegates that Frederick's political wishes would be recognized were denied by Henry II, who preferred to keep Alexander under pressure, thus making things more difficult for Becket. Following the death of William I of Sicily in 1166, Frederick felt that the time had come to strike a decisive blow against Alexander III, who had returned to Rome, and against Sicily. The Lombard League was formed to defend against the Emperor's fourth expedition to Italy. Frederick's expedition ended in disaster, however, when malaria broke out in his army. Rainald of Dassel died in Rome at this time, causing a change in the imperial strategy. When Frederick negotiated peace between Louis VII and Henry II and then sent the Bishop of Bamberg in 1170 to Alexander III and envoys to Byzantium, a détente resulted that even Alexander could not escape. In his fifth Italian campaign (1174) Frederick did not defeat the Lombards militarily, but they were forced to subject themselves to him in the Armistice of Montebello. Because Duke Henry the Lion of Saxony refused to come to his aid, however, Frederick lost the Battle of Legnano against the Lombards. He was now ready to deal with the Pope, and in 1176 they signed the Treaty of Anagni. In the Peace of Venice (1177) Barbarossa acknowledged Alexander III as the true pope. In front of the Church of St. Mark's, Barbarossa received the kiss of peace from the Pope. At Venice the imperial delegates had been able to improve the Emperor's position. Above all was the fact that, although a truce had been negotiated with the Lombards, they were not included in the peace treaty. A treaty with the Lombards was finally confirmed in the year 1183. Barbarossa meanwhile had also initiated sweeping changes in his empire, where Duke Henry the Lion of Saxony was the strongest prince next to him. When Barbarossa took office, Henry had laid claim to Bavaria, the domain of the margrave Henry II Jasomirgott of Austria. Barbarossa bestowed Bavaria on Henry the Lion, and as compensation he elevated the margravate to a dukedom, with special rights. The Emperor also left the dukedom of Saxony and Mecklenburg under Henry the Lion's control, and in 1154 the Duke received the privilege of investing bishops in the colonial land east of the Elbe. The year 1158 was of great importance for the empire; Barbarossa founded the imperial territory of Pleissnerland (south of Leipzig), elevated Duke Vladislav II of Bohemia to king, and granted the Archbishop of Bremen important privileges, restoring the Bishop's lost political power. Also in 1158 Frederick promised to enfeoff Waldemar I the Great of Denmark--that is, make him his vassal with certain rights. Meanwhile, Henry the Lion founded the cities of Munich and Lübeck (1158). The founding of Lübeck brought German merchants to the Baltic Sea. The Duke closed a contract between the Germans and the inhabitants of Gotland and sent envoys to Scandinavia and Russia. A trade agreement was closed in 1189 with Novgorod. About 1180 German merchants reached Riga; their advance was protected by Henry's conquest of Mecklenburg (1177). By 1148 Henry had the county and the town of Stade, the most important harbour on the Elbe, in his control. Deposition of Henry the Lion. At the same time German colonists had settled in Brandenburg under the margrave Albert I the Bear and in Silesia. Barbarossa had restored the dependence of the Polish dukes during two expeditions to Poland in 1157 and 1172. Henry the Lion, the most powerful prince in northern Germany, made Brunswick his residence. He had repeatedly challenged other princes in feuds, but Archbishop Wichmann of Magdeburg, Albrecht of Brandenburg, Landgrave Louis III of Thuringia, and Archbishop Rainald of Cologne offered repeated resistance. It is not completely certain that Duke Henry's refusal of aid to Frederick in 1176 was the sole cause of his downfall. Apparently his manifold breach of the peace of the land caused the Emperor to accuse him, to conquer Lübeck, and, in 1180, through a council of the princes in Gelnhausen, to depose him. Henry lost his dukedom; Westphalia was given to the Archbishop of Cologne, and Bavaria was granted to Otto of Wittelsbach. Henry, who was married to Mathilde of England, went in exile to King Henry II of England. As a result of Henry the Lion's trial, the feudal system was made a still stronger basis of the imperial constitution. Thereafter, only those princes who had received their land directly from the Emperor were admitted to the exclusive circle of imperial princes (Reichsfürsten). Barbarossa elevated the princes of Pomerania to dukes, and the counts of Andechs became the dukes of Merania (in the neighbourhood of Trieste). Steiermark became a dukedom. Another important measure of Barbarossa was the elevation of the Bishop of Würzburg to duke of Franconia in 1168. Barbarossa had attempted to hold the increasing power of the princes in check. By 1152 he had found a solution for the area of Burgundy, which also belonged to the empire. He made Duke Berthold IV of Zähringen his representative for the dukedom of Burgundy as far as the Mediterranean and married Béatrix, the daughter of Count Rainald of Burgundy (1156). Barbarossa attempted to build his own imperial territory between the areas controlled by the princes. This territory was composed of castles, cities, landholdings, ministerial seats, and single rights that were more or less thickly scattered from Swabia to Thuringia. This large territory was ruled by imperial ministerials (ministeriales imperii). These men had great power because many of them belonged to the Emperor's circle. The most famous of them was Kuno of Münzenberg, whose castle is preserved in the Wetterau north of Frankfurt and who founded the town of Friedberg. The territorial "peace laws" belong to his efforts to keep the Emperor in power. Chivalry gave Barbarossa's time a special stamp. He expressed his enthusiasm for knighthood as the ideal way of life at the festival of Pentecost at Mainz in 1184, where he dubbed his sons knights. This festival was surpassed by the "Diet of Jesus Christ" in 1188, when the margravate of Namur was transformed into an imperial principality. More important was Barbarossa's call to the Third Crusade in the spring of 1189 to free Jerusalem from Saladin's army, which had captured it in 1187. Before his departure he returned the former possessions of the Countess Mathilde of Tuscany, a part of the papal state, to the Pope. In 1190 the Emperor drowned while trying to cross the Saleph River. Assessment. Frederick Barbarossa had attempted to continue the imperial policy of the rulers of the Saxon and Salian lines. His state was still founded upon the noble, the high noble, and above all the newly founded rank of the imperial servants. The imperial cities in Germany were governed by royal officials (advocatis sculteti), and the citizens had their part in the government. The cities played no role in politics. Frederick had to recognize that the church, after the quarrel of investiture, had become a firmly controlled institution, with its powers strictly defined by law. The church had joined itself to the struggle for freedom of the economically powerful states in upper Italy. Pope Alexander III was able to force the kings of Europe (especially Louis VII of France) not to enter into a political agreement with Barbarossa. Only Philip II Augustus of France signed a treaty with Barbarossa in order to free himself from the pressures created by the Anglo-Norman occupation on the mainland. There was no chance that a continuation and increase of the imperial policy in the territories controlled by the empire would have broken the power of the princes. Germany developed into a system of territorial states after Barbarossa's death, while France developed during the time of Philip II Augustus into a centralized monarchial state. Barbarossa had a strong feeling for law and imperial prestige. His steadfast opposition to the popes and to Henry the Lion made him the symbol of German unity in the romantic glorification of the 19th century. People since the 14th century believed he was sleeping in the imperial castle of Kyffhäuser and hoped for his return. A monument to him was erected there during the years 1890-96.

Educated as a lawyer he soon attained considerable success in his profession, and in 1491 was one of the members of parliament for Northamptonshire and speaker of the House of Commons. Early in the reign of Henry VII. he became associated with Edmund Dudley (qv.) in carrying out the king's rigorous and arbitrary system of taxation, and in consequence he became very unpopular. Retaining the royal favour, however, he was made a knight in 1504, and was soon high steward of the university of Cambridge, and chancellor of the duchy of Lancaster; but his official career ended with Henry's death in April 1509. Thrown into prison by order of the new king, Henry VIII., he was charged, like Dudley, with the crime of constructive treason, and was convicted at Northampton in October 1509. His attainder by the parliament followed, and he was beheaded on the 17th or 18th of August 1510. Empson left, so far as is known, a family of two sons and four daughters, and about 1513 his estates were restored to his elder son, Thomas.

They took their surname and origin from Woodchurch. Anhitel de Woodchurch possessed it about the time of the conquest. Ralph, his son, is said to be custos of the Tower of London in the time of William Rufus. Ralph's son, Roger Woodcherch, is the first name that is mentioned in the ancient deeds, without date, of this estate. Roger married Isabel Wakehurst of Wakehurst in Sussex, by whom he had Thomas, who married Ann, daughter of Sir William Harvie (or Harvey), Lord Mayor of London, in the time of King John, whose son was Simon. Sir Simon de Woodchurch is in the register of those Kentish gentlemen who accompanies King Edward 1st on his victorious expedition into Scotland, where he is knighted with so many others of his countrymen for his assistance at the siege of Carlaverock. (Scotland, though conquered, was not subdued. The taking of Carlaverock in 1300 was the solitary success of the campaign). Sir Simon de Woodchurch married Susan, daughter and heir of Henry le Clerke of Munfidde in Kingsnorth, who brought a large inheritance into his family.  Sir Simon left two sons. Simon, the eldest, married Isabel, daughter of Robert Rakesley. The second son, Thomas Clerke, married Benet, daughter of Robert Chert (Shert? Sheert?) of Woodchurch.  Simon inherited all his father's lands and was called by his father's name, Woodchurch. Thomas inherited all such lands that came by his mother and was called after his mother's surname, Clarke. Simon died without male issue; Thomas then inherited the Woodchurch property. The family then wrote their name Clarke Alias Woodchurch.  Thomas' son, Peter Clarke Alias Woodchurch, married Eleanor Rowling and had John and Henry, who died without issue. Sir John Clarke, the eldest son, was at the battle of Poitier and the winning of Calais. He married Margaret Delahay. They had a son, Henry Clarke Alias Woodchurch, who married Katherine Edingham or Engham+. Their son, William Clarke of Woodchurch, in about 1507 left by will one piece of land containing one acre, two roods, called Lords Grove in Woodchurch, and the several quit rents belonging to it, to a charity at Great Chart. William Clarke had three wives: Julian Roberts, Benet Ashburnham, and thirdly, Elizabeth Winterborne. She died in 1474 and was buried at Woodchurch..  Many of the Woodchurch and Clarke families are buried in Woodchurch."  *Woodchurch Place House..still in Woodchurch, but much smaller now.  The above from Josie Mackie (josie.mackie@tesco.net) Researcher for the Woodchurch Museum in Woodchurch, Kent 1242 Susanna Clerke 1216 Thomas Woodchurch 1219 Anna Harvy ~1206 - 1281 Ellen Balliol 75 75 1191 Rodgerus Woodchurch 1166 Anketillus Woodchurch 1141 Anketillus Woodchurch Woodchurch was a 7,000 acre parish, about 20 miles inland from Romney Marsh, in East Kent, deposited at Maidstone. 1193 Isabella 1324 Peter Rowlinge ~1301 Alicia de Radcliffe ~1263 Henry de Hulton ~1270 Agnes Bowden ~1230 John de Hulton ~1234 Joan de Manchester ~1165 Ingelram Balliol 1198 David de Hulton ~1202 Agnes de Blackburn 1160 Richard de Hulton ~1140 - 1215 Jorveth de Hulton 75 75 ~1175 Adam de Blackburn ~1150 Henry de Blackburn ~1152 Ella ~1125 John de Blackburne ~1215 Richard de Manchester ~1244 Thomas Bowden ~1170 Agnes de Berkeley Laodice ~1275 Adam Radcliffe ~1210 Pedro Alvarez de Sotomayor ~1212 Urraca Perez ~1190 Alvaro Perez de Sotomayor ~1195 Ines Anes de Castro ~1167 Pedro Alvarez de Sotomayor ~1170 Elvira Yanez de Marino ~1148 Alvaro Paez de Sotomayor ~1148 Teresa Paez de Ribeiro ~1125 Payo Mendez Sored de Sotomayor ABT 1126/1136 - ~1190 Walter de Berkeley Great Chamberlain of Scotland

John Fitz-Alan, in the 28th Henry III [1244], upon the division made of the property of Hugh Albini, Earl of Arundel, then made, had the castle of Arundel assigned to him for his principal seat, thus becoming 5th Earl of Arundel; and soon after that, in consideration of £1,000 fine, had livery of his own castles of Clun, Blancminster and Schrawurthen. In the 42nd Henry III [1258], his lordship was made captain-general of all the forces designed for guarding the Welsh marches, and in the baronial war, he appears first to have sided with the barons, and afterwards with the king.

He ruled the area of the upper Tigris, including the city-state of Assur. After Shamshi-Adad's death he managed to rule for a few years before being ousted from power by local forces. His brother, Yasmah-Adad, ruled at the same time in the city of Mari, where the correspondence between the father and two sons was found by archaeologists. D. 1791 BC Shamshi- Adad I Accession Reigned 1813 to 1791 BCE

Shamshi-Adad I From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.  Shamshi-Adad I (reigned 1813 to 1791 BC) rose to prominence when he carved out a large kingdom in northern Mesopotamia.  His father Ila-kabkabu ruled a kingdom on the borders of Mari and was an Amorite. Upon his father's death, the kingdom was inherited by another brother, leaving Shamshi-Adad to build his own from scratch.  He first conquered Shekhna and renamed the city Shubat-Enlil. The modern name of the site is Tell Leilan. He then seized the fortress Ekallatum on the left bank of the Tigris. This was accomplished only on the second try: a first attempt failed, after which Shamshi-Adad fled to Babylon. Eventually he returned, and was successful. This conquest made it possible for him to control the city-state of Assur, which was a flourishing city that traded heavily with Anatolia. He put his first son, Ishme-Dagan on the throne of Ekallatum and continued his expansion.  The next target was the city Mari which controlled the caravan route between Anatolia and Mesopotamia. The king of Mari, Iakhdunlim, was assassinated by his own servants, possibly on Shamshi-Adad's orders. Shamshi-Adad seized the opportunity and occupied Mari. The heir to the throne, Zimri-Lim, was forced to flee to Aleppo, ancient Yamkhad. Here he put his second son, Yasmah-Adad on the throne, and then returned to Shubat-Enlil.  With the annexation of Mari, Shamshi-Adad was in control of a large empire, controlling the whole of Upper Mesopotamia. On inscriptions Shamshi-Adad boasts of erecting triumphal stelae on the coast of the Mediterranean, but these probably represent short expeditions rather than any attempts at conquest. Shamshi-Adad also proclaimed himself as "king of all", the title used by Sargon of Akkad.  Naturally, Shamshi-Adad's rise to glory earned him the envy of neigbhouring kings and tribes, and throughout his reign, he and his sons faced several threats to their control. While Ishme-Dagan probably was a competent ruler, his brother appears to have been a man of weak character; something the disappointed father was not above mentioning: Are you a child, not a man, have you no beard on your chin, he writes, and in another letter While here your brother is victorious, down there you lie about among the women.  Shamshi-Adad was a great organizer and he kept a firm controls on all matters of state, from high policy down to the appointing of officials and the dispatching of provisions. His campaigns were meticulously planned, and his army knew all the classic methods of siegecraft, such as encircling ramparts and battering rams. Spies and propaganda were often used to win over rival cities.  Shamshi-Adad continued to strengthen his kingdom throughout his life, but upon his death it soon began to crumble. The empire lacked cohesion and was in a vulnerable geographical position. When the news of Shamshi-Adad's death spread, his old rivals at once set out to topple his sons from the throne. Iasmakh-Adad was soon expelled from Mari by Zimri-Lim, and the rest of the empire was soon lost.
Ila- kabkabu Ila-kabkabu From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Ila-kabkabu was a local king in Upper Mesopotamia during the late 19th century BC. His ancestors were probably Semitic nomads. He was at one point allied with the neighbouring king Iagitlim of Mari, but this alliance later fell apart and they came into open conflict. Ila-kabkabu was the father of the famous Shamshi-Adad I, who later carved out a large empire in the area. 1401 BC Tawananna Malnigal ABT 1536 BC - ABT 1451 BC Hantili II ABT 1551 BC - ABT 1501 BC Alluwamna ABT 1551 BC of the Khatti ABT 1576 BC - ABT 1526 BC Huzziya I ABT 1576 BC Summiri 1020 Alan Dapifer of Dol, Senescal of Dol

0260 BC Laodice 0995 Fulk Lisures Mutnodjne Paramesse Seti Eye Teyi Yuya Thuya Ramenpahte Descent From Antiquity" FROM MOSES: gateway from Africa to Europe http://www.angelfire.com/ego/et_deo/africa2europe.wps.htm  The Kingdom of Kush [Nubia], called [The] "Sudan" ["The Black Land"], the ancient name for Central Africa, that is, the Kushite or Nubian Empire in Africa, whose first capital city was at (a) Qustul [the oldest city in Africa; called the site of the world's oldest monarchy], then, at (b) Khartoum, and, finally at (c) Kerma called (1) the pre-X-Group period c 3000-1000BC.  The Nubian Royal House was not Egypt's "Dynasty 0", as some would want to make it, for they were entirely separate dynasties, ethnic groups, and nations [though contemporary].  The Nubians are called Kushites in history-books, which is their earliest name. The Kushite emperors at one time extended their sway throughout the whole of Central Africa and had a great empire, which the Arabs called "The Black Land", that stretched from sea to sea.  It has been overlooked by historians that the Moses of Bible fame sired a long line of kings. Deut. 9:13-14 records that God told Moses that "I will make of thee [Moses] a nation mightier and greater than they [the Hebrews]"; yet, though Moses interceded for the people [the Hebrews], and turned away God's wrath (v. 18-19, 22-29) it did not negate God's promise to make Moses a nation. Legend refers to a civil war in which the main-line of the dynasty [which relocated elsewhere] challenged the descendants of MOSES, founder of the Nation Israel and its religion, Judaism, and his [2nd] "Ethiopian" wife, called T[h]arbis, daughter of Perehu [Piori II], King of Kush [Nubia/Sudan], and, wife, Queen Iteye [Eti] of Punt [= Phut] [prob. Libya]. Moses, "Prince of Egypt", army-commander of Egyptian forces, warred with Nubia, and received the surrender of the royal citadel at Saba, the Nubian city-state later called "Meroe". It is unsure exactly when Moses married the Nubian princess; whether then following the Nubian campaign, or later sent for her? Later, T[h]arbis, who, due to protests of her marriage by Miriam, who was Moses' sister, during an episode while encamped in the Sinai Peninsula (Num. 12:1), returned to her father's court in Nubia carrying Moses' son (Josephus, "Antiquities", ii, 10.2), whose name is preserved in ancient texts as Awawa, or spelt: Agaua, who reigned as the first king of a new dynasty of the Kushite Empire, c 1350BC [dates BC are approximate]. The Kushite, or Nubian, King Awawa [Agaua], who may have been MOSES himself; was fiercely disliked by the Egyptians, who smashed sculptures of the Nubian King or anything onto which his name was found written when on one occasion the Egyptians overran the country [Kush/Nubia] and destroyed its capital-city, however, despite their intentions, his name survives!  A later descendant, the Kushite King Nedjeh took over Egyptian forts along the Egypt-Nubia border during a period of the decline of Egypt's power and the beginnings of Nubian expansion, c 1000BC. The descendants of Moses begotten of the Kushite princess became the third dynasty of Kush [Nubia/Sudan], whose emperors during periods held sway over the whole of "Black Africa". The supporters for the son, or heirs, of Moses, prevailed in a civil war over those of the Kushite/Nubian crown-prince, Qadamawi Akbunas, representing the male-line of the Kushite royal house who relocated to Ethiopia, where he established his descendants as Ethiopia's first dynasty of kings. The first dynasty of Ethiopia at Axum, the Axumite Empire [Ethiopia], was an off-shoot of the Kushite royal house, indications are that it was its senior-line overthrown by a secondary-line, the Mosaic-Line. The original Kushite dynasty of Ethiopia [52 monarchs] ended in the male-line with an heiress, Queen Makeda, the famous "Queen of Sheba", whose son by King Solomon of Israel, Menelik, founded another Axumite dynasty, which by male-line descent was Jewish by race.  Meantime, the descendants of Moses, styled "Prince of Egypt", onetime heir to the Egyptian throne, ironically finally sat on Egypt's throne as Pharaohs, which was Egypt's 25th-Dynasty. It was at this time that the Nubian capital city was transferred from Kerma to Napata, near the Nile's Fourth Cataract, called (2) the Napatan Period 1000-500BC, but in the sixth century BC, after the collapse of Nubian power in Egypt, under threat from the Egyptians, who captured and destroyed Napata, the capital city was transferred further south to Meroe, situated between the Fifth and Sixth Cataracts, called (3) the Meroitic Period 500BC-AD339.  The Kushite Emperor Arkamaniqo [GK: Ergamenes], called "the Nubian Alexander", was famous throughout the civilized Mediterranean world, circa 275/250BC. He conquered the whole of Central Africa, and warred with King Ptolemy II "Philadelphos" of Egypt [285-246BC] in his expansion northwards. The Kushite [Nubian] royal house also gave Meroe at least three queens whose name was Candice: (1) the Nubian queen Candice whom Alexander "The Great" slept with 332BC, the mother of one of his many illegitimate sons, who appears to have spawned a new Nubian dynasty [the "Alexander" dynasty], which only produced one king; (2) there is another Queen Candice alive in 30BC, and, she must be identified with Queen Amanirenas, who defeated the Roman forces, under General Petronius, in battles at Aswan, Philae, and Elephantine, 24-21BC; and (3) the Queen Candice alive in AD35 who is mentioned in Acts (8:27), and, who was to later allow the Roman centurions of the Roman Emperor Nero to pass through Meroe on their way to search for the source of the Nile in AD60.  There was an uninterrupted line of succession for over a thousand years until AD 339, when the Kushite or Nubian Empire of Sudan [Nubia] was conquered by King Aeizanes of Axum [Ethiopia]; who took captive the Nubian Royal House back to Ethiopia at first as prisoners, who were later released and became powerful Ethiopian chieftains, whose descendants in Ethiopia became the Agew tribe, whose hereditary chieftains were Ethiopia's Zagwe Dynasty, whose name "Zagwe" is thought to be derived from the words "Ze" + "Agew" [= which means "of Agew"], whose tribal seat was located at various sites, including modern Gojjam, and eventually establishing themselves at Rhoa in the Ethiopian province of Lasta.  Meantime, the crippled Nubian Nation continued to be governed by three rival contenders of the dispossessed Old Nubian Royal House, supported by their own political parties, established three rivaling governments-in-exile; (a) one at Faras, (b) another at Dongola, and (c) the third at Shobo [which was also called the Alwah kingdom], which were the three successor-states to the Nubian Kingdom of Meroe. The dynasties of these three city-states represented three branches of the Meroitic Royal House, meantime, another branch, the Zawge, flourished in the Ethiopian province of Lasta, which is called (4) the sub-X-Group period AD 300s-1300s; after then the Nubians were conquered by Islamic Arabians who destroyed the three Nubian kingdoms. The remnants of the Nubians established themselves in many petty-states in Central Africa on the Niger River, one of which, Mbanza Kongo, capital-city of (5) the Congo kingdom, called the new-X-Group period, grew to be the capital-city of the great Congolese empire, which was the last great native Kushite/Nubian empire in Africa of the Pre-European Period, circa AD 1300s to the 1500s.  The kingdom fell into decline after the death of King Nzinga-Mpangu, whose son, Henrique, was pressured to abdicate by the Portugese, in 1568, ending the great age of the ancient dynasty of the Kushite kings/emperors.  Meantime, the Zagwe [the Mosiac Line] thrived in Ethiopia and even onetime established itself on the Ethiopian throne. quote: http://www.4dw.net/royalark/Ethiopia/zagwe.htm gives much the same information as "Host Kingdom", and states, the Zagwe usurped the Ethiopian throne and held it about 300 years. There were eleven Zagwe emperors. The last was convinced to step aside and allow the "rightful [Solomonic] heir", Yekonu Amlak, to assume the throne.

[Annals of Ulster] 1110 - 1166 Muirchertach MacLochlainn 56 56 182nd High King of Ireland

Muircheartach O'Lochlainn (d 1166) king of Ireland, son of Niall O'Lochlainn, son of Domhnall O'Lochlainn, chief of the Einel Eoghain, was ninth in descent from domhnall, brother of Niall (870?-919), king of Ireland from whom, and not from their more remote ancestor, Niall Naighiallach, the O'Niells take their name, according to O'Donovan. His family, who in latter times were more often called MacLochlainn, were the senior branch of the cinel Eoghain, the descendants of Eoghan, son of Niall Naighiallach. he first appears in the chronicles in 1139, when he defeated the Clann Laithbheartaigh or O'Dubhdas of Ulser, and slew their chief, Mathghamhain. In 1142 he won a battle over the O'Donnellys, a sept of the Cinal Eoghain, in which he received a severe wound. The chiefship of the Cinel Eoghain was assumed in 1143 by Domhnall O'Gairmleadhaigh, the tribe having expelled Muircheartach. He went to the cinel Conaill, and, with their aid, displaced O'Gairmleadhaigh, and was established as chief of Cinel Boghain. Cu Uladh MacDuinnsleibhe, king of Ulidia or Lesser Ulster, made a foray in 1147 into Farney, co. Monaghan. Muircheartach O'Neill led the Cinal eoghain, in alliance with Donnchadh O'Cearbhaill and the Oirghialla, and attacked the Ulidians, whom they found at Uchdeare, co. Down, drove before them to Dundrum, co. Down, and routed in a battle fought on the feast of SS Peter and Paul, returning with much plunder to Tyrone. He again invaded Ulidia in 1148, and took hostages; but the Oirghialla, who had marched with him, unexpectedly joined the Ulidians, and he had to retreat. He soon returned, crossing the Ban at Toome Bridge, deposed Cu Uladh, and set up Donnchadh Macduinnsleibhe as king of Ulidia. later in the year he attended a convention of the chiefs of the Cinel Eoghain, the Oirghialla, and the Ulidians, who all swore to preserve general peace on a famous relic - the crozier known as the "bachall iosa" - in the presence of Gilla MacLiag, archbishop of Armagh. The Oirghialla, Cinel Conaill, and Ulidians, all gave him hostages at this time. War, however, broke out in 1149, and he again invaded Ulidia and took many cattle, and received the king's son as a hostage. He went on with all his horsemen to Louth, and there received hostages sent by Tighearnan O'Rourke from Breifne. He next marched to Dublin, and received the submission of the Danes and hostages from Diarmaid MacMurchadha, king of Leinster. In 1150 he gave a gold ring of five ounces and other gifts to Flaibheartch O'Brolchain, coarb of Columbs, and permitted a general taxation of Cinel Eoghain for the wants of the church of Derry. He marched to Inismochta in Meath, and there received hostages sent to indicate the acknowledgment of his supremacy by Connaught, afterwards going on to Dunlochad, near Tara, where he ratified a treaty of peace with the foreigners of Dublin and Fingall. Turlough O'Brien and Turlough O'Connor were engaged in war, and the Munstermen, under the former, suffered a disastrous defeat at Mointmor in Munster in 1151. O'Lochlainn, taking advantage of this, led the Cinel Eoghain, Cinel Conaill, and Oirghialla across the Erne at Assaroe, co. Donegal, to the Curlew Mountains. Turlough O'Connor, unable to resist such an attack after his long fighting with O'Brien, sent hostages. Next year O'Lochlainn expelled Donnchadh O'Cearbhnill from the kinghsip of the Oirghialla, in revenge for an insult to the Archbishop of Armagh. He met Turlough O'Connor at the Moy near Ballyshannon, co. Donegal, where they decleared amity on the bachall iosa and some relics of St Columba. They afterwards met at Rathkenny in Meath, and Diarmaid MacMurchadha also came to the meeting. They deprived Tighearnan O'Rourke of Conmhaicne, a country consisting of Longford and the southern part of Leitrim, and divided Meath into east and west, giving the west to Murchadh O'Maeleachlainn, and East Meath to his son Maeleachlainn O'Maeleachlainn. In 1153 he decided to try and restore Turlough O'Brien, and marched to Creeve, co. Westmeath. Tadhg O'Brien, who had displaced Turlough O'Brien, marched thither to attack him, and Turlough O'Connor advaned from Connaught. Muircheartach, with a light division, advanced rapidly and defeated Tadhg O'Brien, then returning to Creeve, and marched with his whole army against Turlough O'Connor. He found Rmacidhri, Turlough's son, pitching camp at Fardrum, co. Westmeath, attacked him at once and routed his force. Turlough O'Brien was then restored as king of Munster. Turlough O'Connor tried in 1154 to attacke O'Lochlainn by sea; but his fleet was defeated off inishowen, and his commander, O'Dubhda of Connaught, was slain. Muircheartach O'Lochlainn at once invaded Connaught, but was not strong enough to obtain hostages or plunder. He then crossed the Shannon into Breifne and drove out Godfrey O'Reilly, went on to Dublin, was received as king by the Danes, and gave them twelve hundred cows, which he had collected in Meath, to secure their future service in war. In 1155 he made an expedition to Dungoleman, co. Westmeath, and took hostages for the territory of Teathbha. He restored to the Meathmen the cattle he had taken from them in the previous year. Turlough O'Connor died in 1156, and this year is considered by the annalists to be the first of Muircheartach O'Lochlainn's reign as king of all Ireland. he was entitled to the succession, being of the royal race, the head of the northern Ui Neill, the descendant of Niall Naighiallach, in the two branches of whose descendants the kingships had rested, in alternate succession, for the six hundred years preceding Brian. The Ulidians attacked him, and he invaded Dalnaraidhe and killed O'Loingsigh the king. He then made a foray into Ossory with Dirmaid MacMurchadha, who had given him hostages. In 1157 he attended a synod at the abbey of Mellifont, co. Louth, at which a papal legate, seventeen bishops, and the Archbishop of Armagh were present. He gave the abbey 160 cows, sixty ounces of gold, and the lands in Meath called Finnabhair-nan-Inghean. he then marched through Limerick, and received the submission of the Danes. he returned in triumph, but found that Roderic O'Connor had made a foray into Tyrone in his absence. O'Lochlainn had a quarrel with the Cinel Conaill in 1158, and ravaged their country. About this time he gave a charter and benefaction to the Cistercian abbey of Newry, co. Down. this charter, which has never been accurately printed, though a copy was in the possession of Sir James Ware, styles the king 'Mauritius MagLachlain Rex totius Hibernae.' In 1159 he led an army to Rubhachonaill, co. Westmeath, and deposed the king of Meath, Diarmait O'Maeleachlainn, and set up his brother Donnchadh O'Maeleachlainn over all Meath. He was threatedned by the Connaughtmen, who with the men of Breifne and of Thomond, crossed Meath to attack the Oirghialla. He came up with them at Ardee, and defeated them with great slaughter. He then marched home, and immediately after ravaged Connaught as far as Tmacm, co. Galway. He returned thence by way of Meath, and quartered his army on that country. the sept of his old enemy O'Gairmleadhaigh attacked him in Tyrone after he had, in 1160, induced the chief of Fermanagh to entrap and kill Domhnall O'Gairmleadhaigh and several of the gentlemen of the sept. He defeated them in a pitched battle at Magh Lmacdhat, near newtown-Stewart, co. Tyrone, and captured a great booty of cows. he met roderic O'Connor at Assaroc to arrange a treaty, but none was made. In 1161 he took hostages from the Ui Brinin, and marched through Breifne to Lickbla, co. Westmeath. there Roderic O'Connor and Diarmaid MacMurchadha formerly submitted to him, so that he was king of Ireland not only by right, but 'cen fresbhra' ('without opposition') - a term used by Irish historians to express undisputed sway. In 1162 he aided Flaibheartach O'Brolchain in improving Derry, besiedged Dublin, and plundered Fingall. The Danes paide him 120 ounces of gold. He was paid one hundred ounces of gold for the kingdom of Westmeath in 1163. He again aided the Bishop of Derry, and the cathedral was rebuild in 1164. The Ulidians attacked him in 1165, and he in return ravaged their country, banished Eochaidh macDuinnsleibhe, their king, burnt their stronghold of Inislachan, and returned with much spoil. He gave to the church of Saul, co. Down, some land which the king of Ulidia handed over to him, with the sword of the son of the earl (probably a Dane) and many jewels. In 1166 he put out the eyes of this king Eochaidh, breaking an oath he had sworn at Armagh after the war. Donnchadh O'Cearbhaill invaded Tyrone to revenge this violation of treaty, and met the Cinel Eoghain in small force at Leitir Luin, near Newtown-Hamilton, co Armagh. Muireheartach O'Lochlainn was there slain in 1166. He was succeeded by his son Niall. [Dictionary of National Biography XIV:1055-56] 1 2

Domhnall O'Lochlainn (1048-1121), king of Ireland, born in 1048, was son of Ardghal, chief of the Einel Eoghain and lord of Oilech, who received the submission of connaught in 1063, died at Tullaghoge, and was buried at Armagh in 1064. Domnhall became king of Oilech, as the chief of Cinell Eoghain was called, in 1083, and immediately made a foray into Conaille (co. Cavan), whence he carried off a large number of cattle. In 1084 he plundered Ulidia (Down and Antrim); and also attacked and slew Domhnall O'Gairmleaghaidh, a weak neighbor. In 1087 he slew another minor chief, Domhnall O'Laithen, and made an unsuccessful expedition into Meath. In 1088 he invaded Connaught, and received the submission of Rmacdhri O'Conor, the king, marched on into Munster as far south as Kilmallock, co. Limerick, plundering Eimly, co Tipperary, Loch Gur, Bruree, Dunachip, Drummin, and Singland, col Limerick, and Ceannocradh, co. Clare, and bringing home eight score hostages, afterwards redeemed by Murtough O'Brien for a ransom of cows, horses, gold, and silver. He slew two of his kinsmen on one day in 1090, Maelrmacnaidh O'Cairellan of Tirkeeran, co. Londonderry, and Gillachrist O'Luinigh, chief of Cinel Moen, and in the same year received a formal submission from Muircheartach O'Brien, king of Cashel or Munster, Domhnall O'Maeleachlainn, king of Meath, and Rmacdhri O'Conor, king of Connaught; and thenceforward the chroniclers speak of him as king of Ireland. The Danes of Dublin gave him two hostages to secure his pasive support in a plundering expedition whcih they made into Magh Breagh as far as Athboy, co Meath, with O'Brien. He captured Aedh O'Cannanain chief of the Cinel Conaill (co Donegal), in 1093, and put out his eyes, and thenceforward ruled the Cinel Conaill, and led them with him into all his wars. In 1094 he again invaded Ulidia, and slew Donnsleibhe O'Heochadha, its king, at the battle of the pass of Gortinure, co. Londonderry, after which he marched south at the head of the Cinel Eoghan and Cinel Conaill, and, in alliance with the Danes of Dublin under their king Godfrey, defeated the Munstermen and the men of Leinster and Ossory at Oughterard, co Kildare. He then returned to Ulster, while the Munstermen marched east, drove Godfrey out of Dublin, and forced the king of Meath, who had also joined in the attack, to fly to the north. Four years later he repelled an invasion of Ulster by Muircheartach O'Brien at Fidh Conaille, co. Louth. The archbishop of Armagh made peace between them; but in 1099 a second attack was made by the Munstermen near Slieve Fmacid, co Armagh, where Domhnall again held them in check. A year's peace between the north and south was then made by the archbishop. Domhnall crossed into Ulidia between Lough Neagh and Lough Beg, and after a battle at Creeve, co Antrim, chiefly between horsemen, the Ulidians gave up an abbot and two chiefs as hostages. He cut down the great tree called Craobh Tulcha, under which the kings of Ulidia were inaugurated. As soon as the year of peace as up, Muircheartach O'Brien tried to invade Ulster at Assaroe, co Donegal, but was driven back by Domhnall, who afterwards marched on into Meath and brought home much booty. O'Brien, with the aid of a Danich fleet, attacke Derry from the sea, and was again defeated; but in 1101 he got into Ulster at Assaroe, and destroyed Grianan Oiligh, near Londonderry, in revenge for the sack of Cenncoradh by Domhnall. Domhnall's son and his foster-brother had been capured by the Ulidians, and he gave up Donnchadh O'Heochadha, their king, whom he had captured some years before, in exchange. In 1102 Domhnall MacAmhalghaidh, archbishop of Armagh, took hostages from him and from O'Brien for another year's peace between them. In 1103 he expelled the successor that O'Cannanain, whom he had blinded in 1090, and again made war on the Ulidians, who obtained aid from Munster, Leinster, Connaught, Ossory, and Meath. Domhnall held them in check near Armagh till O'Brien, with most of his men and the men of Meath and Cannaught, marched away. He then fell upon the Leinstermen, who were supported by some Munstermen, the clans of Ossory, and some Danes of Dublin, and defeated them with great slaughter on & Aug 1103, near Donaghmore in the barony of Iveagh, co. Down. Domhnall obtained much spoil. In 1106 he permitted Ceallach, archbishop of Armagh, to make a general visitation of Ulster, and to receive a cow from every six inhabitants. The archbishop again prevented a battle between Domhnall and O'Brien at Slieve Fmacid, co Armagh, in 1109. He made peace in 1111 with his old enemy, Donnchadh O'Heochadha, king of Uldia, in 1112 attacked the Danes in Fingall, co Dublin, and carried off many cattle and prisioners; and in 1113 again made war on Donnchadh, drove him from Ulidia, and caused his own tribe to put out his eyes. Twice during this year, near Armagh and at Greenege, co Meath, the archbishop prevented a battle between O'Brien and O'Lochlainn. After marching to Rathkenny, co Meath, in 1114, O'Lochlainn too hostages from the men of Meath, and, with the Connaughtmen, invaded Munster and made peace for a year at Tullagh O'Dea, co Clare. He came home through Connaught. His last expedition was in 1120, when he marched to Athlone to support Murchadh O'Maeleachlainn, who was attacked by the king of Connaught. He died at Derry on 9 Feb 1121. He is praised for his fine physical form by the Ulster chroniclers, and for his virtues; but, except some traces of religious feeling shown in his relations towards two archbishops of Armagh, nothing but acts of unrelenting warfare are recorded of him. He married Bebhinn, daugher of Cenneidigh O'Brien, in 1090, and had by her two sons - Muircheartach, who died in 1114, and Niall, who died in 1119. She died in 1110.

Ahenobarbus was elected pontifex maximus in 103 BC, consul in 96 BC and censor in 92 BC with Lucius Licinius Crassus the orator, with whom he was frequently at variance. They took joint action, however, in suppressing the recently established Latin rhetorical schools, which they regarded as injurious to public morality (Aulus Gellius xv. 11). ABT 0220 BC - AFT 0192 BC Gnaeus Domitius Ahenobarbus I 0165 BC Quintus Aemilius Lepidus Q. aemilius lepidus, the grandfather of Lepidus the triumvir, must have been either a son or grandson of No. 7. [See below, No. 17.] But the dates will hardly allow us to suppose that he was a son. He was therefore probably a son of No. 9, and a grandson of No. 7. [Dictionary of Greek and Roman Biography and Mythology III:764] 0215 BC - AFT 0190 BC Marcus Aemilius Lepidus M. aemilius lepidus, the son of No. 7, tribune of the soldiers in the war against Antiochus the Great, b. c. 190. (Liv. xxxvii. 43.) [Dictionary of Greek and Roman Biography and Mythology III:764] 0235 BC - 0152 BC Marcus Aemilius Lepidus M. aemilius M. f. M. n. lepidus, the son of No. 3, was perhaps the Lepidus who is said to have served in the army while still a boy (puer), and to have killed an enemy, and saved the life of a citizen. (Val. Max. iii. 1. § 1.) This event is referred to in the accompanying coin of the Aemilia gens: it bears on the obverse a woman's head, and on the reverse a horseman, with the legend m. le­pidus an. xv. pr. h. o. c. s., that is, M. Lepidus annorum xv. praetextatus hostem oecidit^ civem servavit. He was one of three ambassadors sent by the Romans in b. c. 201 to the Egyptian court, which was then a firm ally of the republic, and had solicited them to send some one to administer the affairs of the kingdom for their infant sovereign Ptolemy V. Although Lepidus was the youngest of the three ambassadors, he seems to have enjoyed the most power and influence, and accordingly we find writers speaking of him alone as the tutor of the Egyptian king (Tac. Ann. ii. 67; Justin. xxx. 2, 3 ; Val. Max. vi. 6. § 1); and it is not impro­bable that he remained in Egypt in that capacity when his colleagues returned to Rome. His supe­rior importance is also shown by his colleagues sending him alone to Philip III. of Macedonia, who had exhibited signs of hostility towards the Romans by the siege of Abydos, and who was not a little astonished at the haughty bearing of the young Roman noble on this occasion. How long Lepidus remained in Egypt is uncertain, but as he was chosen one of the pontiffs in B. c. 199, we must conclude that he was in Rome at that time, though he may have returned again to Egypt. He was elected aedile b. c. 192, praetor 191, with Sicily as his province, and consul 187» after two unsuccessful attempts to obtain the latter dignity. In his con­sulship he was engaged, with his colleague C. Fla-minius, in the conquest of the Ligurians; and after the reduction of this people, he continued the Via Flaminia from Ariminum by way of Bononia to Placentia, and from thence to Aquileia, (Comp. Strab. v. p. 217.) He was elected pontifex max-imus b. c. 180, censor 179, with M. Fulvius Nobi-lior, and consul a second time 175. He was six times chosen by the censors princeps senatus, and he died in b. c. 152, full of years and honours. Judging from the strict orders which he gave to his sons to bury him in a plain and simple manner (Liv. Epit. 48), we may conclude that he belonged to that party of the Roman nobles who set their faces against the refined but extravagant habits which the Scipios and their friends were intro­ducing into the state. Lepidus the triumvir is called by Cicero (Phil. xiii. 7) the pronepos of this Lepidus ; but he would seem more probably to have been his abnepos, or great-great-grandson. This Lepidus left several sons; but we can hardly suppose that either the M. Lepidus Porcina, who was consul b. c. 137, or the M. Lepidus who was consul b. c. 126, were his sons, more especially as Livy mentions one of his sons, M. Lepidus (xxxvii. 43), as tribune of the soldiers in B. c. 190: the other two we may therefore look upon as his grandsons. (Polyb. xvi. 34 ; Liv. xxxi. 2, 18, xxxii. 7, xxxv. 10, 24, xxxvi. 2, xxxviii. 42, xxxix. 2, 56 ; Polyb. xxiii. 1 ; Val. Max. vi. 3. § 3; Liv. xl. 42, 45, 46; Val. Max. iv. 2. § 1 ; Cic. de Prov. Cons. 9 ; Liv. Epit. 48, comp. xl. 51, xli. 27, xliii. 15, Epit. 46, 47 ; Polyb. xxxii. 22.) The folio wing coin.of Lepidus refers to his embassy to Egypt mentioned above, and to his acting as guar­dian of Ptolemy V. The obverse contains a female head, intended to represent the city of Alexandria, with the legend alexandrea, and the reverse Lepidus placing the diadem on the head of the king, with the legend m. lepidvs pont. max. tvtor reg. s. c. From the fact that Lepidus is here described as pontifex maximus, and that Vale­rius Maximus (vi. 6. § 1), in relating his guardian­ship, speaks of him as pontifex maximus and twice consul, Pighius has supposed (Annal. vol. ii. p. 403) that Lepidus must have been guardian of the Ptolemies VI. and VII.; but Eckhel (vol. v. pp. 123—126) has very ably refuted this opinion, and has shown that this coin was struck by one of the descendants of Lepidus, who would naturally introduce in the legend of the coin one of the dis­tinguished offices of his ancestor, though held at a period subsequent to the event commemorated on the coin. [Dictionary of Greek and Roman Biography and Mythology III:763]  ________________________  Marcus Aemilius Lepidus died 152 BC  Roman statesman who held the highest offices of the republic.  As ambassador to Greece, Syria, and Egypt in 200, he delivered to Philip V at Abydos the Senate's ultimatum warning Macedonia not to make war on any Greek state. Consul in 187 and 175, censor in 179, pontifex maximus from 180 onward, and princeps senatus from 179 to 152, Lepidus fought against the Ligurians, directed the construction of the Via Aemilia from Ariminum (modern Rimini) to Placentia (modern Piacenza), and founded colonies at Mutina (modern Modena) and Parma. The district of northern Italy called Emilia still preserves his name.

He was an unsuccessful candidate for the consulship for b. c. 216. (Liv. xxi. 49, 51, xxii. 9, 33, 35, xxiii. 30.)

(Liv. xxiii. 30.) His first consulship was in b. c. 232, when the agrarian law of C. Flaminius was passed (Polyb. ii. 21 ; Zonar. viii. p. 401, c); but the date of his second consulship is uncertain.

Pompey. Marcellinus was de­feated with heavy loss, and saved only by the timely arrival of M. Antony to his support. (Caes. JS. C. iii. 62:—65 ; Oros. vi. 15.) The praenomen of this Marcellinus is unknown: it has been sup­posed that he was the father of the following, who is called P. F., but of this there is no proof [Dictionary of Greek and Roman Biography and Mythology II:936] 0108 BC - 0056 BC Cornelius Publius Lentulus Marcellinus cn. cornelius, P* f. lentulus mar­cellinus, son of the preceding. (Dion Cass* Arg. xxxix.) He is first mentioned as zealously sup­porting the cause of the Sicilians against Verres^ while yet a young man, b. c. 70. (Cic. Div. in Caecil. 4, in Verr. ii. 42.) He next appears in b. c. 61, as supporting Jhis kinsman, L. Lentulus Crus, in the accusation of Clodius, for violating the mysteries of the Bona Dea. (Schol. Bob. ad Cic. in Clod. p. 336, ed. Orell.) In B. c. 59 he held the office of praetor, and presided at the trial of C. Antonius, the colleague of Cicero. (Cic. in Vatin. 11; Orell. Onom. Tull. p. 177.) The fol­lowing year he repaired to Syria, and administered that province for nearly two years, during which his time was principally taken up with repressing the predatory incursions of the neighbouring Arabs. (Appian, Syr. 51.) But he returned to Rome soon enough to sue for the, consulship at the elec­tions of the year 57, and was chosen for the en­suing year, together with L. Marcius Philippus. Before the close of the same year also he took a prominent part in favour of Cicero, after the return of the latter from exile, and exerted himself zea­lously and successfully to procure the restoration of his house and property. (Cic. ad Ait, iv. 2, 3, ad Q. Fr. ii. 1, de Har. resp. i. 7.) During the year of his consulship (b. c. 56), Marcellinus op­posed a vigorous resistance to the factious violence of Clodius and of the tribune C. Cato ; and by his conduct in this respect earned from Cicero the praise of being one of the best consuls he had ever seen. (Ad Q. Fr. ii. 6.) At the same time he endeavoured to check the ambition and restrain the power of Pompey, and at the very commencement of his magistracy succeeded in preventing his being sent to Egjrpt with, an army to reinstate Ptolemy Auletes. But not content with this, he was con­stantly inveighing against him and his ambition in his speeches both to the senate and people: and though the former generally were disposed to concur with him in these sentiments, it is probable that these attacks of Marcellinus contributed to induce Pompey to draw closer the bonds which united him to his brother triumvirs, at the inter­view which took place this year at Lucca. (Cic. ad Fam. i. 1, 2, ad Q. Fr. ii. 6 ; Dion Cass. xxxix. 16, 18.) We hear very little of Marcellinus after the expiration of his consulship ; and the period of his death is wholly unknown. Cicero praises his eloquence, which displayed itself especially during the time that he was consul. (Brut. 70.) He held the sacerdotal office of one of the Epulones. (Id. de Har. resp. 10.) [Dictionary of Greek and Roman Biography and Mythology II:935-936] 0130 BC - AFT 0101 BC Publius Cornelius Lentulus Marcellinus P. cornelius lentulus marcellinus, was a son of No. 16, and brother of No. 17 (Cic. Brut. 36), who must have been adopted by some one of the Cornelii Lentuli, though we know not by whom. (See Orell. Onom. Tull. p. 177.) He is mentioned by Cicero (/. c.) as an orator of con­siderable merit, and figures as one of the lieute­nants of Pompey in the war against the pirates, b. c. 67. (Appian, Mithr. 95.) It appears that he married a Cornelia, of the family of the Scipios. (Orell. l.c.)

(Brut. 36.) We have no account of his connection with the main branch of the Marcelli, the family of the conqueror of Syracuse: the pedigree, as made out by Drumann, though not in itself im­probable, is wholly without authority. He is first mentioned as serving under Marius in Gaul in b.c. 102, when he bore an important part in the defeat of the Teutones near Aquae Sextiae. (Plut. Marc. 20, 21.) In b. c. 90 his name occurs as one of the lieutenants of L. Julius Caesar in the Marsic war: and it appears that after the de­feat of the consul by Vettius Cato, Marcellus threw himself, with a body of troops, into the strong fortress of Aesernia in Samnium, where he held out for a considerable time, but was at length compelled to surrender for want of provisions. (Appian, B. C. i. 40, 41 ; Liv. Epit. Ixxiii.) It is doubtless from some circumstance connected with this siege that his son derived the surname of Aeserniims. There is little doubt that it is this M. Marcellus who appears as one of the judges in the trial of P. Quintius, B. c. 81 (Cic. pro Qui?it. 17), and to whom Cicero also alludes as having a deadly feud with the orator L. Crassus (pro Font. 7). He was himself a speaker of no ordinary merit. (Cic. Brut. 36.) [Dictionary of Greek and Roman Biography and Mythology II:935] 0155 BC - 0111 BC Publius Cornelius Scipio Nasica P. cornelius scipio nasica, son of No 24. was consul b.c. Ill, with L. Calpurnius Bestia, and remained in Italy, while his colleague had the conduct of the war against Jugurtha. He died during his consulship. He is described by Diodorus as a man who was inaccessible to bribery throughout his life, though he lived in an age of general corruption. Cicero speaks with praise of the affability of his address, in which his father was deficient ; and although he spoke neither much nor often in public, he was equal to any of his contemporaries in the purity of his Latin, and surpassed them in wit and humour. (Sail. Jug. 27 ; Diod. Excerpt, p. 606, ed. Wess.; Cic. de Off. i. 30, Brut. 34, pro Plane. 34, and Schol. Bob. p. 259, ed. Orelli.)

Gracchus. He is first mentioned in b. c. 149, when he was sent along with Cn. Scipio Hispallus [No. 28], to demand from the Carthaginians the surrender of their arms (Appian, Pun. 80). He was unsuc­cessful in his application for the aedileship, but was consul in b.c. 138, with D. Junius Brutus. In consequence of the severity with whicli he and his colleague conducted the levy of troops, they were thrown into prison by C. Curiatius, the tribune of the plebs. It was this Curiatius who gave Nasica the nick-name of Serapio, from his resemblance to a dealer in sacrificial animals, or some other person of low rank, who was called by this name ; but though given him in derision, it afterwards became his dis­tinguishing surname (Liv. Epit. 55 ; Val. Max. ix. 14. § 3 ; Plin. H. N. vii. 10). In b. c. 133, when the tribes met to re-elect Tib. Gracchus to the tribunate, and the utmost confusion prevailed in the forum, Nasica called upon the consuls to save the republic ; but as they refused to have recourse to violence, he exclaimed, " As the consul betrays the state, do you who wish to obey the laws follow me," and so saying rushed forth from the temple of Fides, where the senate was sitting, followed by the greater number of the senators. The people gave way before them, and Gracchus was assassinated as he attempted to escape (Appian, B. C. i. 16 ; Plut. Tib. GraccJi. .19 ; for further particulars see Vol. II. p. 293). In consequence of his conduct on this occasion Nasica became an object of such detestation to the people, that the senate found it advisable to send him on a pretended mission to Asia, although he was pontifex maximus, and ought not, therefore, to have quitted Italy. He did not venture to return to Rome, and after wandering about from place to place, died soon afterwards at Pergamum. (Plut. Tib. Gracch. 21 ; Cic. pro Place. 21 ; and the other passages of Cicero in Orelli's Onomast. Tutt. vol. ii. p. 191.)

He inherited from his father a love for jurisprudence, and became so celebrated for his discernment and for his knowledge of the pontifical and civil law, that he received the sur­name of Corculum (corculum a corde dicebant antiqui solertem et acutum^ Festus, s. v.). He married a daughter of Scipio Africanus the elder. He is first mentioned in b. c. 168, when he served with distinction under L. Aemilius Paulus in Ma­cedonia. He was consul for the first time in b. c. 162 with C. Marcius Figulus, but abdicated, to­gether with his colleague, almost immediately after they had entered upon their office, on account of some fault in the auspices. He was censor b. c. 159 with M. Popillius Laenas, when he enacted, together with his colleague, that no statues of public men should be allowed to be erected in the forum without the express sanction of the senate or the people. In his censorship the clepsydra was for the first time introduced at Rome. He was consul a second time in b. c. 155 with M. Claudius Marcellus, and subdued the Dalmatians. He was a firm upholder of the old Roman habits and manners, and a strong opponent of all inno­vations, of which he gave a striking instance in his second consulship, by inducing the senate to order the demolition of a theatre, which was near completion, as injurious to public morals. When Cato repeatedly expressed his desire for the de­struction of Carthage, Scipio, on the other hand, declared that he wished for its preservation, since the existence of such a rival would prove a useful check upon the licentiousness of the multitude. He was elected pontifex maximus in b. c. 150. The reputation of Scipio Corculum as a jurist has been already alluded to ; his oratory is likewise praised by Cicero ; and he is described by Aurelius Victor as a man " eloquentia primus, juris scientia consultissimus, ingenio sapientissimus," (Aurel. Vict. de Vir. III. 44, who confounds him with his father; Liv. xliv. 35, 36, 46, Epit. 47—49 ; Polyb. xxix. 6 ; Plin. H. N. xxxiv. 14 ; Cic. de Nat.

[Dictionary of Greek and Roman Biography and Mythology III:748] 0230 BC - AFT 0171 BC Publius Cornelius Nasica P. cornelius scipio nasica, that is, " Scipio with the pointed nose," was the son of Cn. Scipio Calvus, who fell in Spain in b. c. 211. [No. 10.] He is first mentioned by Livy in b. c. 204 as a young man who was not yet of sufficient age to obtain the quaestorship, but was neverthe­less judged by the senate to be the best citizen in the state, and was therefore sent to Ostia along with the Roman matrons to receive the statue of the Idaean Mother, which had been brought from Pessinus. In b. c. 200 he was one of the tri­umvirs, for the purpose of settling new colonists at Venusia ; he was curule aedile in b.c. 196, praetor in 194, and in this year as well as in the following fought with great success in Further Spain, which was assigned to him as his province. But, notwithstanding these victories, and the powerful support of his cousin, the great Africanus, he was an unsuccessful candidate for the consul­ship for b. c. 192, and did not obtain it till the following year, when he was elected with M'. Acilius Glabrio. In his consulship, b. c. 191, he fought against the Boii, defeated them in battle, and triumphed over them on his return to Rome. He defended his cousin, L. Scipio Asiaticus, when he was accused in b. c. 187» after his conquest of Antiochus. He was one of the many distinguished men, who sued for the censorship in b. c. 184, but was defeated by M. Porcius Cato. Hence Pliny speaks of him (H. N. vii. 34), as bis repulsa notatus a populo. In b.c. 183 and 182 he was engaged as one of the triumviri in settling a Latin colony at Aquileia. The last time he is mentioned is in b. c. 171, when he was one of the advocates appointed by the Spanish deputies to bring to trial the Roman governors who had oppressed them. Scipio Nasica is mentioned both by Cicero and Pomponius as a celebrated jurist, aud the latter writer adds, that a house was given to him by the siate in the Via Sacra, in order that he might be more easily consulted (Liv. xxix. 14, xxxi. 49, xxxiii. 25, xxxiv. 42, 43, xxxv. 1,10,24, xxxvi. 1, 2, 37, &c., xxxviii. 58, xxxix. 40, 55, xl. 34, xliii. 2; Diod.

[Dictionary of Greek and Roman Biography and Mythology III:751] 0255 BC - AFT 0218 BC Cneius Cornelius Scipio Calvus was consul b. c. 222 with M. Claudius Marcellus. In conjunction with his colleague he carried on war against the Insubrians. The details of this war are given under Marcellus. [Vol. II. pp. 927, 928.] (Po­lyb. ii. 34 ; Plut. Marcell. 6, 7 ; and the other authorities quoted in the life of Marcellus). In b.c. 218 Cneius served as legate of his brother Publius, under whom he carried on war for eight years in Spain, as has been related above. [Dictionary of Greek and Roman Biography and Mythology III:743] 0350 BC Cnaeus 0236 BC - 0183 BC/0184 Publius Cornelius Scipio Africanus Scipio Africanus the Elder  born 236 BC died 184/183, Liternum, Campania [now Patria, Italy]  Latin Scipio Africanus Major , in full Publius Cornelius Scipio Africanus Roman general noted for his victory over the Carthaginian leader Hannibal in the great Battle of Zama (202 BC), ending the Second Punic War. For his victory he won the surname Africanus (201 BC).  Family background  Publius Scipio was born into one of the great patrician families in Rome; his father, grandfather, and great-grandfather had all been consuls in their day. In 218 BC Scipio's father, also named Publius, held the consulship in one of the most critical years of Rome's history. While with him during a cavalry engagement on the Ticinus, the young Scipio made his first appearance in history: seeing his father wounded and cut off by the enemy, he charged forward and saved him. This anecdote is recorded by the historian Polybius on the authority of Scipio's friend Laelius, and it may well be true.  Of Scipio's boyhood or the date of his marriage to Aemilia, daughter of Aemilius Paullus, consul of 216 who fell at Cannae, nothing is known. He had two sons: Publius, who was debarred by ill health from a public career and who adopted Scipio Africanus the Younger; and Lucius, who became praetor in 174. Scipio's physical appearance is shown on some coins minted at Carthago Nova (Cartagena)—which almost certainly bear his portrait—and also probably on a signet ring found near Naples.  Military career  Scipio served as a military tribune at the disastrous Battle of Cannae in 216. He escaped after the defeat to Canusium, where some 4,000 survivors rallied; there he boldly thwarted a plot of some fainthearts to desert Rome. Then in 213 he returned to a civilian career by winning the curule aedileship; the story is told that when the tribunes objected to his candidature because he was under the legal age, he replied “If all the Roman people want to make me aedile, I am old enough.” Soon family and national disaster followed: his father and uncle were defeated and killed in Spain, where the Carthaginians swept forward to the Ebro (211).  In 210 the Romans decided to send reinforcements to Spain, but it is said that no senior general would undertake the task and that young Scipio offered himself as a candidate; at any rate, the Roman people decided to invest him with a command there, although he was technically a privatus (not a magistrate). This grant by the people, to a man who had not been praetor or consul, of a military command outside Italy created an important constitutional precedent. Thus Scipio was given the chance to avenge his father's death in Spain, where he hoped not merely to hold the Carthaginian armies at bay and prevent them sending reinforcements to Hannibal in Italy but to resume his father's offensive policy, to turn back the tide of war, and to drive the enemy out of the peninsula. Such a task must have seemed fantastic in 210, but Scipio had the confidence and ability; it was achieved in the next four years.  From his headquarters at Tarraco (Tarragona) in 209, Scipio suddenly launched a combined military and naval assault on the enemy's headquarters at Carthago Nova, knowing that all three enemy armies in Spain were at least 10 days distant from the city. Helped by a lowering of the water in a lagoon, which exposed the northern wall, he successfully stormed the city. This tidal phenomenon, attributed to the help of Neptune, was perhaps caused by a sudden wind; at any rate, it increased the troops' belief in their commander's divine support. In Carthago Nova he gained stores and supplies, Spanish hostages, the local silver mines, a splendid harbour, and a base for an advance farther south.  After training his army in new tactics, Scipio defeated the Carthaginian commander Hasdrubal Barca at Baecula (Bailen) in Baetica (208); whereas normally the two rear ranks of a Roman army closely supported the front line, Scipio in this battle, under a screen of light troops, divided his main forces, which fell upon the enemy's flanks. When Hasdrubal broke away, ultimately to join his brother Hannibal in Italy, Scipio wisely declined the impossible task of trying to stop him and decided rather to accomplish his mission in Spain—the defeat of the other two Carthaginian armies still there. This he brilliantly achieved in 206 at a battle at Ilipa (Alcalá del Río, near Sevilla), where he held the enemy's main forces while the wings outflanked them. He then secured Gades (Cádiz), thus making Roman control of Spain complete.  Elected consul for 205, Scipio boldly determined to disregard Hannibal in Italy and to strike at Africa. Having beaten down political opposition in the Senate, he crossed to Sicily with an army consisting partly of volunteers. While preparing his troops, he boldly snatched Locri Epizephyrii in the toe of Italy from Hannibal's grasp, though the subsequent misconduct of Pleminius, the man he left in command of the town, gave Scipio's political opponents cause to criticize him. In 204 he landed with perhaps 35,000 men in Africa, where he besieged Utica. Early in 203 he burned the camps of Hasdrubal (son of Gisgo) and his Numidian ally Syphax. Then, sweeping down on the forces that the enemy was trying to muster at the Great Plains on the upper Bagradas (modern Suq al Khamis, on the Majardah in Tunisia), he smashed that army by a double outflanking movement.  Battle of Zama  After his capture of Tunis, the Carthaginians sought peace terms, but Hannibal's subsequent return to Africa led to their renewing the war in 202. Scipio advanced southwestward to join the Numidian prince Masinissa, who was bringing his invaluable cavalry to his support. Then he turned eastward to face Hannibal at the Battle of Zama; his outflanking tactics failed against the master from whom he had learned them, but the issue was decided when the Roman and Numidian cavalry, having broken off their pursuit of the Punic horsemen, fell on the rear of Hannibal's army. Victory was complete, and the long war ended; Scipio granted comparatively lenient terms to Carthage. In honour of his victory he was named Africanus.  Late years  In 199 Scipio was censor and became princeps Senatus (the titular head of the Senate). Though he vigorously supported a philhellenic policy, he argued during his second consulship (194) against a complete Roman evacuation of Greece after the ejection of Philip V of Macedonia, fearing that Antiochus III of Syria would invade it; his fear was premature but not unfounded. In 193 he served on an embassy to Africa and perhaps also to the East. After Antiochus had advanced into Greece and had been thrown out by a Roman army, Scipio's brother Lucius was given the command against him, Publius serving as his legate (190); together the brothers crossed to Asia, but Publius was too ill to take a personal part in Lucius' victory over Antiochus at Magnesia (for which Lucius took the name Asiagenus).  Meantime, in Rome, Scipio's political opponents, led by the elder Cato, launched a series of attacks on the Scipios and their friends. Lucius' command was not prolonged; the generous peace terms that Africanus proposed for Antiochus were harshly modified; the “trials of the Scipios” followed. On the trials the ancient evidence is confusing: in 187 an attack on Lucius for refusing to account for 500 talents received from Antiochus (as war indemnity or personal booty?) was parried, and Africanus himself may have been accused but not condemned in 184. In any case, his influence was shaken, and he withdrew from Rome to Liternum in Campania, where he lived simply, cultivating the fields with his own hands and living on a villa (country farm) of modest size: Seneca later contrasted its small and cold bathroom with the luxurious baths of his own day. He had not long to live, however; embittered and ill, he died in 184 or 183, a virtual exile from his country. He is said to have ordered his burial at Liternum and not in the ungrateful city of Rome, where his family tomb lay outside, on the Appian Way.  The legend of Scipio  Such was Scipio's impact upon the Romans that even during his lifetime legends began to cluster around him: he was regarded as favoured by Fortune or even divinely inspired. Not only did many believe that he had received a promise of help from Neptune in a dream on the night before his assault on Carthago Nova but that he also had a close connection with Jupiter. He used to visit Jupiter's temple on the Capitol at night to commune with the god, and later the story circulated that he was even a son of the god, who had appeared in his mother's bed in the form of a snake.  The historian Polybius thought that this popular view of Scipio was mistaken and argued that Scipio always acted only as the result of reasoned foresight and worked on men's superstitions in a calculating manner. But Polybius himself was a rationalist and has probably underestimated a streak of religious confidence, if not of mysticism, in Scipio's character that impressed so many of his contemporaries with its magnanimity and generosity. Thus, although Polybius had an intense admiration for Scipio, whom he called “almost the most famous man of all time,” the existence of the legend, a unique phenomenon in Rome's history, indicates that Polybius' portrait is too one-sided.  Significance and influence  A man of wide sympathies, cultured and magnanimous, Scipio easily won the friendship of such men as Philip, king of Macedonia, and the native princes of Spain and Africa, while he secured the devotion of his own troops. Though essentially a man of action, he may also have been something of a mystic in whom, at any rate, contemporary legend saw a favourite of Jupiter as well as a spiritual descendant of Alexander the Great. One of the greatest soldiers of the ancient world, by his tactical reforms and strategic insight he created an army that defeated even Hannibal and asserted Rome's supremacy in Spain, Africa, and the Hellenistic East. He had a great appreciation of Greek culture and enjoyed relaxing in the congenial atmosphere of the Greek cities of Sicily, conduct that provoked the anger of old-fashioned Romans such as Cato. Indeed, he was outstanding among those Roman nobles of the day who welcomed the civilizing influences of Greek culture that were beginning to permeate Roman society. His Greek sympathies led him to champion Rome's mission in the world as protector of Greek culture; he preferred to establish Roman protection rather than direct conquest and annexation. For 10 years (210–201) he commanded a devoted army at the people's wish. His position might seem almost kingly; he had been hailed as king by Spanish tribes, and he may have been the first Roman general to be acclaimed as imperator (emperor) by his troops; but, though convinced of his own powers, he offered no challenge to the dominance of the Roman nobility ensconced in the Senate except by normal political methods (in which he showed no outstanding ability). Reaction against his generous foreign policy and against his encouragement of Greek culture in Roman life led to his downfall amid personal and political rivalries, but his career had shown that Rome's destiny was to be a Mediterranean, not merely an Italian, power.  Scipio's influence outlived the Roman world. Great interest was shown in his life during the early Renaissance, and it helped the early humanists to build a bridge between the classical world and Christendom. He became an idealized perfect hero who was seen to have served the ends of Providence. Petrarch glorified him in a Latin epic, the Africa, which secured his own coronation as poet laureate in 1341 on the Capitol, where, some 1,500 years earlier, the historical Scipio used to commune in the temple of Jupiter.

Aemilius Paullus, who fell in the battle of Cannae, was the wife of Scipio Africanus I. and the mother of the celebrated Cornelia, the mother of the Gracchi. She was of a mild disposition, and long survived her husband. Her property, which was large, was inherited by her grandson by adoption, Scipio Africanus II., who gave it to his own mother Papiria, who had been divorced by his own father L. Aemilius.

Having arrived too late, he himself returned to Italy but boldly sent his army on to Spain under his elder brother Gnaeus Cornelius Scipio Calvus to check the Carthaginian forces still there. In northern Italy he hoped to fight delaying actions against Hannibal along the tributaries of the Po River. Being repulsed and wounded at the Ticinus, he retired to the Trebia, where he was joined by his colleague Tiberius Sempronius Longus, who insisted on fighting and was defeated (December 218).  In 217 Scipio was sent as proconsul to Spain; in a battle near the Ebro River he and his brother smashed Hasdrubal's attempt to break through to Italy (215), and by 212 they had captured Saguntum (modern Sagunto). From his base they could move farther south; advancing separately, however, they both met disaster and death—Publius on the upper Baetis (Guadalquivir), Gnaeus in the hinterland of Carthago Nova (Cartagena), in 211. In spite of this final defeat, they had for seven years denied Hannibal the resources of Spain.  Publius was the father of Scipio Africanus the Elder. [Encyclopædia Britannica, online <http://www.britannica.com/eb/article-9066298>]  _________________________________  P. cornelius scipio, the son of No. 7, was consul, with Ti. Sempronius Longus, in the first year of the Punic War, b.c. 218. Scipio, having received Spain as his province, set sail with his army from Pisae to Massilia. On his arrival at the latter place, he found that Hannibal had already crossed the Pyrenees, and was advancing towards the Rhone ; but as his men had suffered much from sea-sickness, he allowed them a few days' rest, thinking that he had abundance of time to prevent Hannibal's crossing the Rhone. But the rapidity of Hannibal's movements were.greater than the consul had anticipated. The Carthaginian army crossed the Rhone in safety, while the Romans were at the mouth of the river ; and when Scipio marched up the left bank of the river, he found that Hannibal had advanced into the interior of Gaul, and had already got the start of him by a three days' march. Despairing, therefore, of over taking him, he resolved to sail back to Italy, and await his arrival in Cisalpine Gaul. But as the Romans had an army of 25,000 men in Cisalpine Gaul, under the command of the two praetors, Scipio resolved to send into Spain the army which he had brought with him, under the command of his brother and legate, Cn. Scipio, and to take back with him only a small portion of his forces to Italy. This wise resolution of Scipio probably saved Rome ; for if the Carthaginians had main­tained the undisputed command of Spain, they would have been able to have concentrated all their efforts to support Hannibal in Italy, and might have sent him such strong reinforcements after the battle of Cannae as would have compelled Rome to submit.  After Scipio had landed at Pisae, he took the command of the praetor's army, and forthwith has­tened to meet Hannibal, before he might be able to collect reinforcements among the Cisalpine Gauls. He crossed the Po at Placentia, and then advanced along the left bank of the river in search of Han­nibal. Soon after crossing the Ticinus, over which he had thrown a bridge, his cavalry and light-armed troops, which he was leading in person in advance of the rest of his forces, fell in with the cavalry of the Carthaginians, also commanded by Hannibal himself. An engagement took place, in which the Romans were defeated. The consul himself received a severe wound, and was only saved from death by the courage of his young son, Publius, the future conqueror of Hannibal; though, according to other accounts, he owed his life to a Ligurian slave (Liv. xxi. 46 ; Polyb. x. 3). Scipio now retreated across the Ticinus, breaking the bridge behind him. He then crossed the Po also, and took up his quarters at Placentia. Here Han­nibal, who had likewise crossed the Po, offered him battle, which was declined by Scipio, whose wound prevented him from taking the command of his army, and who had moreover determined to wait the arrival of his colleague, Sempronius Lon-gus, who had been summoned from Sicily to join him. Upon the arrival of Sempronius, Scipio was encamped upon the banks of the Trebia, having abandoned his former position at Placentia. As Scipio still continued disabled by his wound, the command of the army devolved upon Sempronius. The latter, who was anxious to obtain the glory of conquering Hannibal, resolved upon a battle, in opposition to the advice of his colleague. The 61 result was the complete defeat of the Roman army, which was obliged to take refuge within the walls of Placentia. [hannibal, p. 335, b.]  In the following year, b. c. 217, Scipio, whose imperium had been prolonged, crossed over into Spain with a fleet of twenty ships and eight thou­sand foot-soldiers. Scipio and his brother Cneius continued in Spain till their death in b. c. 211 ; but the history of their campaigns, though im­portant in their results, is full of such confusions and contradictions, that a brief description of them is quite sufficient. Livy found great discrepancies in his authorities, which are in themselves not worthy of much confidence. It is even impossible to state with certainty the years in which most of the events occurred (Niebuhr, Lectures on Roman History, vol. i. pp. 206, 207). Upon the arrival of Publius in Spain, he found that his brother Cneius had already obtained a firm footing in the country. Soon after Cneius had landed at Emporium in the preceding year, b.c. 218, most of the chiefs on the sea-coast joined him, attracted by his affability and kindness, which formed a striking contrast with the severity and harshness of the Carthaginian commanders. In the course of the same year he gained a victory near the town of Scissis or Cissa, in which Hanno, the Carthaginian general, was taken prisoner, and which made him master of nearly the whole of northern Spain from the Pyrenees to the Iberus. Hasdrubal advanced by rapid marches from the north of Spain to retrieve the Carthaginian cause in the north, but arrived too late in the year to ac­complish any thing of importance, and accordingly recrossed the Iberus. after burning part of the Roman fleet. Scipio wintered at Tarraco. In the following year, b. c. 217, he defeated the Cartha­ginian fleet at the mouth of the Iberus, and thus obtained for the Romans the command of the sea. Publius arrived shortly afterwards in the middle of the summer, and the two brothers now advanced against Saguntum, where Hannibal had deposited the hostages, whom he had obtained from the various Spanish tribes. The treachery of a Spa­niard of the name of Abelux or Abilyx surrendered them to the Scipios, who restored them to their own people, and thus gained the support of a large number of the Spanish tribes.  In the course of the next two or three years Livy gives a description of several brilliant vic­tories gained by the Scipios, but as these were evidently followed by no results, there is clearly-great exaggeration in his account. Thus, they are said to have defeated Hasdrubal in b. c. 216 with such loss, near the passage of the Iberus, that he escaped from the field with only a few followers. This victory was gained after the battle of Cannae, when Hasdrubal was attempting to march into Italy to support his victorious brother Hannibal. In the following year, b. c. 215, Hasdrubal, having received reinforcements from Carthage, under the command of his brother Mago, laid siege to the town of Illiturgi; but their united forces were defeated by the two Scipios, who are also said to have gained another decisive victory over them in the course of the same year near Intibili. Next year, b. c, 214, another Carthaginian army arrived under Hasdrubal, the son of Gisco. The Roman accounts again speak of two successive victories gained by Cn. Scipio, but followed as usual by no results. About this time Hasdrubal, Hannibal's brother, was recalled to Africa to oppose Syphax, one of the Numidian kings, who was carrying on war against Carthage. The Scipios availed themselves of his absence to strengthen their power ; they gained over new tribes to the Roman cause, took 20,000 Celti-berians into their pay, and felt themselves so strong by the beginning of b. c. 212 or 211, that they resolved to cross the Iberus, and to make a vigorous effort to drive the Carthaginians out of Spain. They accordingly divided their forces. P. Scipio was to attack Mago and Hasdrubal, the son of Gisco, who were supported by Masinissa and the Spanish chief Indibilis, while his brother Cneius was to attack Hasdrubal the son of Barca, who had already returned from Africa, after bringing the war against Syphax to a successful termination. But the result was fatal. Publius was destroyed, with the greater part of his forces, and Mago and Hasdrubal, son of Gisco, now joined Hasdrubil, son of Barca, to crush Gneius. Mean­time Cneius had been at once paralysed by the defection of the 20,000 Celtiberians, who had been gained over by the Carthaginian general; and being now surrounded by the united forces of the three generals, his camp was taken, and he himself fell, twenty-nine days after the death of his brother. The remains of his army were collected by L. Marcius Septimus, a Roman eques. [hasdrubal, No. 6.] The year in which the Scipios perished is rather doubtful. Livy says (xxv. 36) that it was in the eighth year after Cn. Scipio had come into Spain ; but Becker (Vorarbeiten zu einer Gescliichte des zweiten Punisclies Krieges in Dahlman's Forscliungen, vol. ii. pt. ii. p. 113) brings forward several reasons, which make it probable that they did not fall till the spring of b.c. 211.

[Dictionary of Greek and Roman Biography and Mythology III:741-743] 0250 BC - 0216 BC Lucius Aemilius Paullus L. aemilius M. f.

He was' sent against the Illyrians, who had risen again in arms under De­metrius of the island of Pharos in the Adriatic. Paulus conquered him without any difficulty : he took Pharos, reduced the strong-holds of Demetrius, and compelled the latter to fly for refuge to Philip, king of Macedonia. For these services Paulus obtained a triumph on his return to Rome ; but he was notwithstanding brought to trial along with his colleague M. Livius Salinator, on the plea that they had not fairly divided the booty among the soldiers. Salinator was condemned, and Paulus escaped with difficult}". (Polyb. iii. 16—19, iv. 37 ; Appian, Illyr. 8 ; Zonar. viii. 20 ; Liv. xxii. 35.) [demetrius, pp. 965, b., 966, a.]  In b. c. 216 Aemilius Paulus was consul a second time with C. Terentius Varro. This was the year of the memorable defeat at Cannae. [han­nibal, p. 336.] The battle was fought against the advice of Paulus ; and he was one of the many distinguished Romans who perished in the engage­ment, refusing to fly from the field, when a tribune (Comp.

He was throughout his life a staunch adherent of the aristocracy, and was raised to his second con­sulship by the latter party to counterbalance the influence of the plebeian Terentius Varro. He maintained all the hereditary principles of his party, of which we have an instance in the circum­stance related by Valerius Maximus. The senate always looked with suspicion upon the introduction of any new religious rites into the city, and ac­cordingly gave orders in the (first) consulship of Paulus for the destruction of the shrines of Isis and Serapis, which had been erected at Rome. But when no \vorkman dared touch the sacred buildings the consul threw aside his praetexta, or robe of office, seized a hatchet, and broke the doors of one of the temples. (Val. Max. i. 3. § 3).

This made him popular with the aristocratical party, who then had the chief power in the state; and it was through their influence doubtless that he obtained the consulship in 111. The war against Jugurtha was assigned to him. He prosecuted it at first with the greatest vigour ; but when Jugurtha offered him and his legate, M. Scaurus, large sums of money, he concluded a peace with the Numidian without consulting the senate, and returned to Rome to hold the comitia. His conduct excited the greatest indignation at Rome, and the aristocracy was obliged to yield to the wishes of the people, and allow an investigation into the whole matter. A bill was introduced for the purpose by C. Mamilius Lime tan us, and three commissioners or judges (quaesiiores) appointed, one of whom Scaurus contrived to be chosen. Many men of high rank were condemned, and Bestia among the rest, b. c. 110.

Antiochus II Theos (286-246 BC reigned 261 - 246 BC), whose mother was the Macedonian princess Stratonice, daughter of Demetrius Poliorcetes succeeded his father Antiochus I Soter as head of the Seleucid dynasty on 261 BC.

He inherited a state of war with Egypt, which went on along the coasts of Asia Minor (the "Second Syrian War"). Antiochus also made some attempt to get a footing in Thrace. During the war he was given the title "Theos" which means "God" in Greek.

About 250 BC peace was concluded between Antiochus and Ptolemy II, Antiochus repudiating his wife Laodice and marrying Ptolemy's daughter Berenice, but by 246 BC Antiochus had left Berenice and her infant son in Antioch to live again with Laodice in Asia Minor.

Laodice poisoned him and proclaimed her son Seleucus II Callinicus (reigned 246-225 BC) king.

Antiochus I Soter ( 324/323-262/261 BC reigned 281 BC - 261 BC) was half Persian, his mother Apame being one of those eastern princesses whom Alexander had given as wives to his generals in 324 BC.

On the assassination of his father (281 BC), the task of holding together the empire was a formidable one, and a revolt in Syria broke out almost immediately. With his father's murderer, Ptolemy, Antiochus was soon compelled to make peace, abandoning apparently Macedonia and Thrace. In Asia Minor he was unable to reduce Bithynia or the Persian dynasties which ruled in Cappadocia.

In 278 BC the Gauls broke into Asia Minor, and a victory which Antiochus won over these hordes is said to have been the origin of his title of Soter (Gr for "saviour").

At the end of 275 BC the question of Palestine, which had been open between the houses of Seleucus and Ptolemy since the partition of 301 BC, led to hostilities (the "First Syrian War"). It had been continuously in Ptolemaic occupation, but the house of Seleucus maintained its claim.

War did not materially change the outlines of the two kingdoms, though frontier cities like Damascus and the coast districts of Asia Minor might change hands.

About 262 BC Antiochus tried to break the growing power of Pergamum by force of arms, but suffered defeat near Sardis and died soon afterwards (262 BC). His eldest son Seleucus, who had ruled in the east as viceroy from 275 BC(?) till 268/267 BC, was put to death in that year by his father on the charge of rebellion. He was succeeded (261 BC) by his second son Antiochus II Theos.

Note: The founder of the Seleucid dynasty, he was a Macedonian generalserving under Alexander the Great, and in the second partitionof Alexander's empire in 321 bc he was made satrap of Babylon,becoming king of Babylonia in 312 bc. In 302 bc he joined theconfederacy against Macedonia and in 301, upon the defeat anddeath of King Antigonus I of Macedonia, obtained the largestshare of the spoils, including the whole of Syria and a greatpart of Asia Minor. He built numerous cities, including Antiochand several named for him as Seleucia. Toward the end of hisreign, he proclaimed himself king of Macedonia but wassubsequently assassinated.

Seleucus I Nicator (surnamed for later generations Nicator), the founder of the Seleucid dynasty, was a Macedonian, the son of Antiochus, one of Philip's generals.

Seleucus, as a young man of about twenty-three, accompanied Alexander into Asia in 333 BC, and won distinction in the Indian campaign of 326 BC. When the Macedonian empire was divided in 323 BC (the "Partition of Babylon") Seleucus was given the office of chiliarch, which attached him closely to the person of the regent Perdiccas. Seleucus himself had a hand in the murder of Perdiccas in 321 BC.

At the second partition, at Triparadisus (321 BC), Seleucus was given the government of the Babylonian satrapy. In 316 BC, when Antigonus had made himself master of the eastern provinces, Seleucus felt himself threatened and fled to Egypt. In the war which followed between Antigonus and the other Macedonian chiefs, Seleucus actively cooperated with Ptolemy and commanded Egyptian squadrons in the Aegean Sea.

The victory won by Ptolemy at Gaza in 312 BC opened the way for Seleucus to return to the east. His return to Babylon in that year was afterwards officially regarded as the beginning of the Seleucid Empire. Master of Babylonia, Seleucus at once proceeded to wrest the neighbouring provinces of Persia, Susiana and Media from the nominees of Antigonus. A raid into Babylonia conducted in 311 BC by Demetrius, son of Antigonus, did not seriously check Seleucus's progress. Whilst Antigonus was occupied in the west, Seleucus during nine years (311-302 BC) brought under his authority the whole eastern part of Alexander's empire as far as the Jaxartes and Indus. In 305 BC, after the extinction of the old royal line of Macedonia, Seleucus, like the other four principal Macedonian chiefs, assumed the title and style of King.

His attempt, however, to restore Macedonian rule beyond the Indus, where Chandragupta had established himself, was not successful. Seleucus entered the Punjab, but after humiliating defeats in 302 BC, was forced to conclude a peace with Chandragupta, by which he ceded large districts of what is now Afghanistan, and his daughter Helen as a "hostage-concubine", to Chandragupta.

In 301 BC he joined Lysimachus in Asia Minor, and at Ipsus Antigonus fell before their combined power.

A new partition of the empire followed, by which Seleucus added to his kingdom Syria, and perhaps some regions of Asia Minor. The possession of Syria gave him an opening to the Mediterranean, and he immediately founded here the new city of Antioch upon the Orontes as his chief seat of government. His previous capital had been the city of Seleucia, which he had founded upon the Tigris (almost coinciding in site with Baghdad), and this continued to be the capital for the eastern satrapies. About 293 BC he installed his son Antiochus there as viceroy, the vast extent of the empire seeming to require a double government.

The capture of Demetrius in 285 BC added to Seleucus's prestige. The unpopularity of Lysimachus after the murder of Agathocles gave Seleucus an opportunity for removing his last rival. His intervention in the west was solicited by Ptolemy Ceraunus, who, on the accession to the Egyptian throne of his brother Ptolemy II (285 BC), had at first taken refuge with Lysimachus and then with Seleucus. War between Seleucus and Lysimachus broke out, and on the field of Corupedion in Lydia Lysimachus fell (281 BC). Seleucus now saw the whole empire of Alexander, Egypt alone excepted, in his hands, and moved to take possession of Macedonia and Thrace. He intended to leave Asia to Antiochus and content himself for the remainder of his days with the Macedonian kingdom in its old limits. He had, however, hardly crossed into the Chersonese when he was assassinated by Ptolemy Ceraunus near Lysimachia (281 BC).

John and Catherine had all of their children before they were married, but later the children were legitimated by the Pope.

At the end of the 14th century, Dunstanburgh Castle passed into the hands of John of Gaunt. He carried out substantial alterations and closed up the entrance to the gatehouse. Having converted the original gatehouse into residential quarters, a second gatehouse was constructed further along the curtain wall, but almost nothing can be seen of this today, other than its foundations.

John of Gaunt altered the original castle most obviously in the fact that he created an inner and outer bailey from the existing enclosure. Many of the buildings constructed at the time of the remodelling have long since disappeared, but some fragmentary remains can still be made out along the curtain wall.

0475 BC - 0405 BC Darius Ochus Great King of Persia & Pharoah (Meryamunre) of Egypt

Shah of Persia

Darius II, originally called Ochus, was emperor of Persia from 423 BC to 404 BC.

Artaxerxes I, who died shortly after December 24, 424 BC, was followed by his son Xerxes II. After a month and a half Xerxes was murdered by his brother Secydianus or Sogdianus (the form of the name is uncertain). His illegitimate brother, Ochus, satrap of Hyrcania, rebelled against Sogdianus, and after a short fight killed him, and suppressed by treachery the attempt of his own brother Arsites to imitate his example. Ochus adopted the name Darius (in the chronicles he is called Nothos, meaning "the bastard"). Neither Xerxes II nor Secydianus occurs in the dates of the numerous Babylonian tablets from Nippur; here the reign of Darius II follows immediately after that of Artaxerxes I.

Of Darius II's reign we know very little (a rebellion of the Medes in 409 is mentioned in Xenophon), except that he was quite dependent on his wife Parysatis. In the excerpts from Ctesias some harem intrigues are recorded, in which he played a disreputable part. As long as the power of Athens remained intact he did not meddle in Greek affairs; even the support which the Athenians in 413 gave to the rebel Amorges in Carla would not have roused him, had not the Athenian power been broken in the same year before Syracuse. He gave orders to his satraps in Asia Minor, Tissaphernes and Pharnabazus, to send in the overdue tribute of the Greek towns, and to begin a war with Athens; for this purpose they entered into an alliance with Sparta. In 408 he sent his son Cyrus to Asia Minor, to carry on the war with greater energy. In 404 Darius II died after a reign of nineteen years, and was followed by Artaxerxes II.

From WOLCOTT Family History (http://www.ku.edu/heritage/cousin/wolcott.html)

Source of Info: Wolcott Genealogy by Chandler Wolcott, Rochester, NY, 1912.

Henry Wolcott came to MA during the reign of Charles I; later went to CT to help found Windsor, CT; brought wife and 3 sons, left younger son and 2 daughters in England (with older son?); member of 1st General Assembly of CT 1637; magistrate 1643; resided in Boston 1630. 9th ggf of Gordon Fisher "XV. Henry Wolcott (the emigrant), who conveyed the manor-house to his son Henry." (Somerby's list, Boardman p 312-4. Boardman says, p 312: "Through the researches of Mr. Somerby, of Boston, in the *Herald's* office, among the subsidy rolls, wills, and parish records of England, the genealogy of Henry Wolcott, Esquire (the emigrant), has been traced through fifteen generations. back to Sir John Wolcott, knight, as follows:". Each entry in this list has here been placed in its appropriate place in the tree, with its corresponding Roman numeral. "HENRY WOLCOTT, son of John Wolcott of Tolland, England, and descended from an ancient family of position and wealth, was baptized December 6, 1578, in the Parish of Lydiard St. Laurence. [Footnote: Authorities on the Wolcott family are *The Wolcott Memorial* and Stiles's *History of Windsor*.] He removed to New England with his wife and several children, in March, 1630. He was one of the first twenty-four freemen of Dorchester, Mass., and received grants of land there as early as April, 1633, and probably before; and was Selectman in 1634. He was one of those most interested in the Connecticut settlement, and removed to Windsor in 1636, as one of the original proprietors. In the year following he took an active part in the earliest legistlative proceedings of the new Colony; was elected a Magistrate in 1643, and continued to hold this office until his death, May 30, 1655. Mr. Stiles, the historian of Windsor, says of him:--- "He was probably, after the pastor, the most distinguished man in Windsor." (P) In speaking of the life and public services of Henry Wolcott, Mr. Hollister, in his *History of Connecticut*, says:--- "In the 78th year of his age, but with a judgment unclouded, and his usefulness unimpaired, the venerable Henry Wolcott, one of the principal magistrates and advisers of the colony, quickly followed his comrade (Haynes) to the grave. I cannot help making a brief mention of him, and yet were I to speak at any considerable length of all the bright examples of patriotism and exalted worth that have borne the name of Wolcott in Connecticut, I should find this work extending itself beyond the limits that I have marked out for it." (P) "Henry Wolcott, Esquire, ther ancestor of all the Wolcotts of this State, was of a very ancient family, and the owner of a large estate in Somersetshire. He was born in Tolland, on the 6th of December, 1578, and was the son and heir of John Wolcott of Galdon Manor. The manor-house is still standing, and is of very great antiquity and extent. It was originally a splendid mansion, designed as well for the purposes of defense against the excesses of a lawless age, as for a permanent family residence. It is still richly ornamented with carved work, and if left to itself unassailed by the hand of violence, it will stand for ages. The familiar motto of the family arms, borrowed from the Roman poet, is still to be seen upon the walls of the manor-house, its bold words informing us that the family who have adopted it as their text of life were "accustomed to swear in the words of no master." It is alike in keeping with the independent spirit of an English gentleman of the middle ages, and with that of a Puritan of the 17th century who spurned the dictation of ecclesiastical dominion." (P) "In his early life Henry Wolcott lived after the manner of the landed gentry, at an era when the term "country squire" was synonymous with whatever was bold, athletic, and hardy in the steeplechasing, hospitable days of "merry England." But as the years stole on, and the principles of the Reformation, making little progress at first, began to invade not only the wrestling-ring of the yeoman and the counting-room of the merchant, but the hall of the county-gentleman, Wolcott, among others, was led to direct his thoughts to more serious topics than the pastimes that had engrossed his earlier manhood. While meditations respecting a future state of being occupied his mind, a religious teacher, Mr. Edward Elton, became his guide, and led him to that clear understanding of the doctrines of Christianity, and those firm convictions of its truth, that remained with him to the day of his death. Of an ardent temperament and lively sensibilities, and seeing that much needed to be reformed in the severities practiced upon so many of the best subjects of the realm, he soon became identified with the Puritan party, sold a large estate in lands, including the manor-house, for which he received about eight thousand pounds sterling, probably much less than its value, and made preparations to spend the remainder of his days in America. In 1628 he visited New England to examine the country, and returned. His sympathetic nature could not fail to attach itself inseparably to the self-accusing, though charitable, Wareham, and he sailed with him for the new world in the same ship, and arrived in Massachusetts in May, 1630. Roger Ludlow was of the same party. Wolcott remained in Dorcherster until 1636, when he removed to Windsor upon the Connecticut river. He was, as most of our best inhabitants were, a planter, and was the principal one in Windsor. He was a member of the General Court of Connecticut in 1639." (P) "In 1643 he was chosen into the magistract, and continued to be one of its most safe and immovable pillars till his death in 1655. His monument of imperishable sandstone, built by the same hands that fashioned the one that stands over the Fenwick tomb at Saybrook, has always been a shrine to tempt towards it the feet of his numerous descendants, who have piously guarded it and lovingly adorned it for two hundred years. Time has spared, and the gray moss not obliterated, the quaint and simple epitaph, whose plain lettering tells us that it is the resting place of "Henry Wolcott, some time a magistrate of this jurisdiction." --- William F. J. Boardman, *The Ancestry of William Francis Joseph Boardman, Hartford, Connecticut*, 1906, p 308-311. Boardman lists the children of Henry Wolcott and Elizabeth Saunders as follows (p 312): "I. John, bap. Oct. 1, 1607; d. without issue in Eng. after 1631 and before 1655. II. Anna, m. Oct. 16, 1646, Matthew Griswold of Windsor and Saybrook. III. Henry [see under HENRY (2) WOLCOTT]. IV.

Sept. 11, 1687." "HENRY WOLCOTT (1636), from Dorchester, had a lot granted to him ten rods wide. His children were born in England. Both himself and wife died, 1655. Of his sons, Henry had a lot granted to him twelve rods wide. He married Sarah, daughter of Thomas Newberry, 1641, and had three sons and two daughters. After the death of his brother Christopher he had his father's homestead. He died, 1680. Christopher had a lot granted to him six rods wide. He had no family, and died, 1662. His brother Simon had his place. George removed to Wethersfield. Simon married first a daughter of Aaron Cook in 1657. She died a month after, and he married Martha Pitkin, "late from England." 1661. He had three sons and three daughters. He lived first on the richard Whitehead place; second, on his brother Christopher's place. He removed to Simsbury previous to King Philip's War, and he then removed to the east side of the Great River." --- Jabez H Hayden, "Early Windsor Families," in *THe Memorial History of Hartford County, Connecticut, 1633-1884, ed J Hammond Trumbull, v. 2, 1886, p 560 "The register of the parish of *Lidiard St. Lwrence*, adjoining that of Tolland, contains the following: "HENRY, ye sonne of John Wolcott, was baptized the VI of December, 1578"; and "HENRY Wolcott & Elizabeth Saunders [of Lydiard St. Laurence, b. 1584], were married 19 January, 1606." (P) Henry Wolcott, whose m. and bp. are thus recorded, was the emigrant to Windsor, Conn. As the second son of John Wolcott, of Galdon Manor, Tolland, Co. Somerset, Eng., he held a fair position among the landed gentry, and an estate which placed him in affluent circumstances.

By the decease of his elder bro. Christopher, intestate, 1639, the family estate, including the manor-house, mill, etc., also came into his possession after his removal to America. The earlier portion of his life was passed in the quiet pursuit of a country squire's duties and responsibilities: but, becoming converted under the teaching of the Rev. John Elton, he soon found himself closely identified with the Puritan party in the religious and political revolution which then convulsed England. America presented to him, as to hundreds of others like-minded, the only asylum where civil and religious freedom could be found; and, though then past 52 years of age, and with children of an age when they most needed the social and educational advantages afforded in their native land, --- to emigrate to a new home beyond the ocean. Taking their three sons, and leaving them behind them for a time two daughters and their youngest son (ae. 5), they joined the Warham and Maverick emigration of 1630, on the 19th of October in which yr. we find Henry Wolcott's name as one of the first list of freemen of Boston. He rem. from Dorchester to W. in 1635; in 1637 was elected a member of the lower house of the first Gen'l Assembly of Conn.; in 1640 stands first in a list of the inhabitants of W.; in 1643 was elected to the House of Magistrates (the present Senate) of Conn., and was annually re-elected during life, and was probably, after the pastor, the most distinguished citizen of W.; the younger ch. who had been left behind, rejoined the family between 1631 and 1641. He d. May, 1655; his wid. d. on July 5, same year. His estate was inventoried at #764 [pounds], 8s., 10d., not a large sum for one who is known to have sold about #8,000 worth of estate in Eng. preparatory to removing to America, and illustrating the remark of the historian Trumbull, that "many of the adventurers expended more, in making settlements in Conn., than all the lands and buildings were worth, after all the improvements which they had made upon them."

He came to New England about the year 1628, and in the year 1630 brought over his family, to avoid the persecution of those times against dissenters." There follows a quotation from Macaulay's History of England, vol. I, p 69, 71: "Every corner of the nation was subjected to a constant and minute inspection. Every little congregation of separatists was tracked out and broken up. Even the devotions of private families could not escape the vigilance of spies. And the tribunals afforded no protection to the subjects against the civil and ecclesiastical tyranny of that period. ..... This was the conjuncture at which the liberties of England were in the greatest peril. The opponents of the government began to despair of the destiny of their country; and many looked to the American wilderness as the only asylum in which they could enjoy civil and spiritual freedom. There a few resolute Puritans, who, in the cause of their religion, feared neither the rage of the ocean nor the hardships of uncivilized life; neither the fangs of savage beasts nor the tomahawks of more savage men, --- built, amidst the primeval forest, villages which are now great and opulent cities, but which have, through every change, retained some trace of the character derived from their founders. The government regarded these infant colonies with aversion, and attempted violently to stop the stream of emigration, but could not prevent the population of New England from being largely recruited by stout-hearted and God-fearing men from every part of old England." Chandler Wolcott continues (p 16-18): "It was at this juncture that HENRY WOLCOTT left England; and no one will question his title to the character of "a resolute Puritan, --- a stout-hearted and God-fearing man." He was not an obscure adventurer, but held a fair position among the gentry in England, possessing an estate which yielded him a fair income, and his property was freely devoted to the service of the expedition which he accompanied. ..... The company of which they [he, his wife, and children Henry, George and Christopher --- 3 children were left behind temporarily] were members consisted of one hundred and forty persons; and the historian of Connecticut makes the following mention of them:" Here Chandler Wolcott quotes from Trumbull, *Hist. Conn.*, 1.23: "In one of the first ships which arrived this year [1630] came over the Rev. Mr. John Warham, Mr. John Maverick, Mr. Rossiter, Mr. Ludlow, Mr. Henry Wolcott, and others of Mr. warham's church and congregation, who first settled the town of Windsor, in Connecticut. Mr. Rossiter and Mr. Ludlow, were magistrates. Mr. Wolcott had a fine estate, and was a man of superior abilities. This was an honorable company. Mr. Warham had been a famous minister in Exeter, the capital of the county of Devonshire. The people who came with him were from the three counties of Devonshire, Dorsetshire, and Somersetshire." Chandler Wolcott continues (p 18): "They sailed from Plymouth, in England, on the 20th of March, 1630, in the ship *Mary and John*, of four hundred tons burden, Captain Squeb, master. B4efore their embarkation, after their passage had been engaged, they were allowed the privilege of organizing themselves into an independent church. This is now the First Church in Windsor, --- the oldest in the State of Connecticut. The Barnstable and Plymouth churches, in Massachusetts, had been organized in the same way; and these three, as far as we know, are the only New England churches which had a trans-atlantic origin. (P) They arrived at Nantasket on the Lord's Day, May 30th, 1630, after a voyage of two months and ten days, and landed the next day."

Edward I, nicknamed "Longshanks" due to his great height and stature, was perhaps the most successful of the medieval monarchs. The first twenty years of his reign marked a high point of cooperation between crown and community. In these years, Edward made great strides in reforming government, consolidating territory, and defining foreign policy. He possessed the strength his father lacked and reasserted royal prerogative. Edward fathered many children as well: sixteen by Eleanor of Castille before her death in 1290, and three more by Margaret.
Edward held to the concept of community, and although at times unscrupulously aggressive, ruled with the general welfare of his subjects in mind. He perceived the crown as judge of the proper course of action for the realm and its chief legislator; royal authority was granted by law and should be fully utilized for the public good, but that same law also granted protection to the king's subjects. A king should rule with the advice and consent of those whose rights were in question. The level of interaction between king and subject allowed Edward considerable leeway in achieving his goals.
Edward I added to the bureaucracy initiated by Henry II to increase his effectiveness as sovereign. He expanded the administration into four principal parts: the Chancery, the Exchequer, the Household, and the Council. The Chancery researched and created legal documents while the Exchequer received and issued money, scrutinized the accounts of local officials, and kept financial records. These two departments operated within the king's authority but independently from his personal rule, prompting Edward to follow the practice of earlier kings in developing the Household, a mobile court of clerks and advisers that traveled with the king. The King's Council was the most vital segment of the four. It consisted of his principal ministers, trusted judges and clerks, a select group of magnates, and also followed the king. The Council dealt with matters of great importance to the realm and acted as a court for cases of national importance.
Edward's forays into the refinement of law and justice had important consequences in decreasing feudal practice. The Statute of Gloucester (1278) curbed expansion of large private holdings and established the principle that all private franchises were delegated by, and subordinate to, the crown. Royal jurisdiction became supreme: the Exchequer developed a court to hear financial disputes, the Court of Common Pleas arose to hear property disputes, and the Court of the King's Bench addressed criminal cases in which the king had a vested interest. Other statutes prohibited vassals from giving their lands to the church, encouraged primogeniture, and established the king as the sole person who could make a man his feudal vassal. In essence, Edward set the stage for land to become an article of commerce.
Edward concentrated on an aggressive foreign policy. A major campaign to control Llywelyn ap Gruffydd of Wales began in 1277 and lasted until Llywelyn's death in 1282. Wales was divided into shires, English civil law was introduced, and the region was administered by appointed justices. In the manner of earlier monarchs, Edward constructed many new castles to ensure his conquest. In 1301, the king's eldest son was named Prince of Wales, a title still granted to all first-born male heirs to the crown. Edward found limited success in extending English influence into Ireland: he introduced a Parliament in Dublin and increased commerce in a few coastal towns, but most of the country was controlled by independent barons or Celtic tribal chieftains. He retained English holdings in France through diplomacy, but was drawn into war by the incursions of Philip IV in Gascony. He negotiated a peace with France in 1303 and retained those areas England held before the war.
Edward's involvement in Scotland had far reaching effects. The country had developed a feudal kingdom similar to England in the Lowlands the Celtic tribal culture dispersed to the Highlands. After the death of the Scottish king, Alexander III, Edward negotiated a treaty whereby Margaret, Maid of Norway and legitimate heir to the Scottish crown, would be brought to England to marry his oldest son, the future Edward II. Margaret, however, died in 1290 en route to England, leaving a disputed succession in Scotland; Edward claimed the right to intercede as feudal lord of the Scottish kings through their Anglo-Norman roots. Edward arbitrated between thirteen different claimants and chose John Baliol. Baliol did homage to Edward as his lord, but the Scots resisted Edward's demands for military service. In 1296, Edward invaded Scotland and soundly defeated the Scots under Baliol Ð Baliol was forced to abdicate and the Scottish barons did homage to Edward as their king. William Wallace incited a rebellion in 1297, defeated the English army at Stirling, and harassed England's northern counties. The next year, Edward defeated Wallace at the Battle of Falkirk but encountered continued resistance until Wallace's capture and execution in 1304. Robert Bruce, the grandson of a claimant to the throne in 1290, instigated another revolt in 1306 and would ultimately defeat the army of Edward II at Bannockburn. Edward's campaigns in Scotland were ruthless and aroused in the Scots a hatred of England that would endure for generations.
Edward's efforts to finance his wars in France and Scotland strained his relationship with the nobility by instituting both income and personal property taxes. Meetings of the King's Great Council, now referred to as Parliaments, intermittently included members of the middle class and began curtailing the royal authority. Parliament reaffirmed Magna Carta and the Charter of the Forest in 1297, 1299, 1300, and 1301; it was concluded that no tax should be levied without consent of the realm as a whole (as represented by Parliament).
Edward's character found accurate evaluation by Sir Richard Baker, in A Chronicle of the Kings of England: He had in him the two wisdoms, not often found in any, single; both together, seldom or never: an ability of judgement in himself, and a readiness to hear the judgement of others. He was not easily provoked into passion, but once in passion, not easily appeased, as was seen by his dealing with the Scots; towards whom he showed at first patience, and at last severity. If he be censured for his many taxations, he may be justified by his well bestowing them; for never prince laid out his money to more honour of himself, or good of his kingdom."
1335 - 1365 Geoffrey de Cornewall 30 30 3rd Lord of Burford ~1337 - 1369 Cecilia Seymour 32 32 0521 BC - 0465 BC Xerxes Great King of Persia

Xerxes I (خشایارشا), was a Persian king (reigned 485 - 465 BC) of the Achaemenid dynasty. "Xerxes" is the Greek attempt to spell the Persian name Khshayarsha. In the Bible Xerxes I is known as Ahasuerus.

A son of Darius I and Atossa, the daughter of Cyrus the Great, he was appointed successor to his father in preference to his eldest half-brothers, who were born before Darius had become king. After his accession in October 485 BC he suppressed the revolt in Egypt which had broken out in 486 BC, appointed his brother Achaemenes as henchman (or khshathrapavan, satrap) bringing Egypt under a very strict rule. His predecessors, especially Darius, had not been successful in their attempts to conciliate the ancient civilizations. This probably was the reason why Xerxes in 484 BC abolished the Kingdom of Babel and took away the golden statue of Bel (Marduk, Merodach), the hands of which the legitimate king of Babel had to seize on the first day of each year, and killed the priest who tried to hinder him. Therefore Xerxes does not bear the title of King of Babel in the Babylonian documents dated from his reign, but King of Persia and Media or simply King of countries (i.e. of the world). This proceeding led to two rebellions, probably in 484 BC and 479 BC.

Darius had left to his son the task of punishing the Greeks for their interference in the Ionian rebellion and the victory of Marathon. From 483 Xerxes prepared his expedition with great care: a channel was dug through the isthmus of the peninsula of Mount Athos; provisions were stored in the stations on the road through Thrace; two bridges were thrown across the Hellespont. Xerxes concluded an alliance with Carthage, and thus deprived Greece of the support of the powerful monarchs of Syracuse and Agrigentum. Many smaller Greek states, moreover, took the side of the Persians, especially Thessaly, Thebes and Argos. A large fleet and a numerous army (some have claimed that there were over 2,000,000) were gathered. In the spring of 480 Xerxes set out from Sardis. At first Xerxes was victorious everywhere. The Greek fleet was beaten at Artemisium, Thermopylae stormed, Athens conquered, the Greeks driven back to their last line of defence at the Isthmus of Corinth and in the Bay of Salamis. But Xerxes was induced by the astute message of Themistocles (against the advice of Artemisia of Halicarnassus) to attack the Greek fleet under unfavourable conditions, instead of sending a part of his ships to the Peloponnesus and awaiting the dissolution of the Greek armament. The Battle of Salamis (September 28, 480) decided the war. Having lost his communication by sea with Asia, Xerxes was forced to retire to Sardis; the army which he left in Greece under Mardonius was in 479 beaten at Plataea. The defeat of the Persians at Mycale roused the Greek cities of Asia.

Of the later years of Xerxes little is known. He sent out Satapes to attempt the circumnavigation of Africa, but the victory of the Greeks threw the empire into a state of slow apathy, from which it could not rise again. The king himself became involved in intrigues of the harem and was much dependent upon courtiers and eunuchs. He left inscriptions at Persepolis, where he added a new palace to that of Darius, at Van in Armenia, and on Mount Elvend near Ecbatana. In these texts he merely copies the words of his father. In 465 he was murdered by his vizier Artabanus who raised Artaxerxes I to the throne.

In the Bible, more specifically in the Book of Esther, Xerxes I is mentioned by the name of Ahasuerus. Esther was chosen as his queen after the failed invasion in Greece. The Bible tells how Haman, feeling insulted by the Jew Mordecai, tries to kill Mordecai and many Jews, but Mordecai, through Esther and Ahasuerus, manages to reverse their fate. This story must be considered an allegory because the events it relates never occurred. The story begins in the third year of the reign of Xerxes, which would be 484 B.C. He did not have a wife named "Vashti," (or "Esther," either) then or ever (his wife at this time was Amestris, daughter of a Persian general), but "Vashti" was the name of an Elamite goddess. "Esther," too, is the name of a goddess -- it's Aramaic for "Ishtar," the chief Babylonian goddess. ("Hadassah," the name Esther's family called her, comes from the Babylonian for "bride" and was one of Ishtar's titles.) "Mordecai" is a form of the Hebrew for "Marduk," the Babylonians' chief god. "Haman" comes from the name of the Elamites' chief god, "Hamman." "Shushan" is identified with Xerxes's capital, Susa. The allegory means that Babylonian gods replaced Elamite gods in Susa in the last years of the Assyrian Empire, and it was written at a time when the Macedonians posed the kind of danger to the Jews that the story describes.

duke of Normandy until 1259
duke of Aquitaine

Henry III was born in 1207 and succeeded his father John on the throne of England in 1216. It was a ravaged inheritance, the scene of civil war and anarchy, and much of the east and south eastern England was under the control of the French Dauphin Louis. But Henry had two great protectors---his liege lord the Pope, and the aged William Marshal.

The Marshal, by a combination of military skill and diplomatic ability, saw off the Dauphin by September, 1217, but less than two years later he was dead, and a triumvirate ruled in his place: the papal legal Pandulf; the Poitevin Bishop of Winchester Peter des Roches; and the Justiciar Hubert de Burgh. The legate departed in 1221; two years later Henry became of age and, rejecting Peter, chose Hubert to be his chief counsellor.

Trouble soon came, as Hubert attempted to re-asert royal authority. Barons, who had kept their castles undistrubed and exercised their powers without supervison, were now called to account to the haughty justiciar, and the party of Peter des Roches did not fail to underline the annoyances involved. The years 1223-4 were taken up with quelling rebellions.

Meanwhile the situation abroad was even more disturbing: the French king Philip Augustus was eating up English lands in Gascony, and Henry's mother Isabella made a bad situation worse by her marriage with Count Hugh of Lusignan. It was only in 1230 that a badly prepared English force set out for France and, after much squabbling, all it was able to do was make a demonstration march through Gascony.

Hubert had already had one dismal failure in Wales in 1228, and his arrogant attempts to build up a personal base in the Marches provoked a Welsh raid in 1231 which did more harm to his good name. Hubert was thrust out of power, to be replaced by Peter des Roches' Poitevins. But by 1234 they had upset the baronage of England, who had never taken kindly to foreigners other than the Normans, and Richard Marshal combined with Edmund of Abington, Archbishop of Canterbury, to force the King to replace them.

Henry now began his period of personal rule, and the world was to see what sort of king he would make. He was a simple, direct man, trustful on first impression, but bearing a life-long grudge when people let him down. At times lavish and life-loving, he could show another side of his nature, that wicked Angevin temper and streak of vindictive cruelty. He had a very refined taste, and enjoyed building and restoration work more than anything else. Surrounded by barons who had been proved in the hardest schools of war, the King had the spirit of an interior decorator; the nation could have born the expense of his artistic tastes, could have forgiven the eccentricity of it all, but Henry showed time and again that he was timorous as well as artistic. He feared thunderstorms, and battle was beyond him.

The Crown had some 60 castles in England, and these were in a bad state after the troubles of John's reign and the minority. Henry travelled about tirelessly rebuilding them and making them more comfortable, spending at least ten per cent of his income on building works. He personally instructed his architects in great detail, and could not wait for them to finish---it must be ready for his return 'even if a thousand workmen are required every day' and the job must be 'properly done, beautiful and fine.' In addition he built or restored twenty royal houses, decorating them sumptiously. The painted chamber at Westminster was 80 ft. long, 26 ft. wide, and 31 ft. high. The walls were all wainscotted (at Winchester even the pantry and cellar were wainscotted) and painted with pictures and proverbs. The subjects of the pictures varied according to the royal moods---in May 1250 the Queen borrowed a book about the crusades, and a year later the walls at Clarendon showed Richard the Lionheart duelling with Saladin. Wherever there were no pictures, there was the King's favourite decor---green curtains spangled with gold stars. The floors were tiled, the windows glazed (and barred after 1238 when an attempted assassination scared Henry out of his wits---he even had the vent of the royal privy into the Thames barred over) and fireplaces provided the ultimate in luxury. Special rooms sprouted everywhere, including the room where the royal head was washed.

If his private comfort bulked large in Henry's mind, his public display of piety came a close second: these were neatly combined in the royal bedroom where a window was fitted to look into the chapel. His greatest project was the rebuilding of Westminster Abbey, on which he spent nearly £50,000---the equivalent of £4,000,000 today. He had been so thrilled with St. Louis' Sainte Chapelle that he had wanted to put it on a cart and roll it back to England. That was impossible, so he had to build his own. He finished it in 1269, and proudly put up the inscription 'As the rose is the flower of all flowers, so this is the house of houses.'

For a while Henry had reason for pride: he married Eleanor, daughter of the Count of Savoy, and sister of the Queen of France, the finest match in Europe; his sister Isabella was married to the Emperor Frederick II, and his son Edward to Eleanor of Castille. He persuaded the Germans to elect his brother, Richard of Cornwall, King of the Romans.

On the other hand, his foreign policy was leading him into dangers. In 1242 he foolishly allowed himself to be led into supporting his mother's ambitions in Poitou, and the enmity with France was to continue needlessly until the settlement of 1259. Louis IX had no desire to be his enemy---in 1254 all England was amazed at the French King's generous gift of an elephant, which the historian Matthew Paris went to draw in the Tower of London.

In 1246 Henry's mother died (to almost universal relief) and he generously invited his four Lusignan half-brothers to live out their orphanage under his roof. He gave them large incomes, but they took more, milking the land as hard as they could in the last moments before bankruptcy. The English hated them for their avarice, price, and foreign-ness.

In ecclesiastical affairs Henry's hands were hopelessly tied---the Pope had always been his chief prop, and the King could not afford to lose his aid. There was a strong movement for reform, but the papacy's desparate need for money to prosecute its war against the Hohenstauffen made reform a secondary consideration, and indeed frequently blocked it. But Henry may justly be criticised for his foolishness in accepting the papal offer of the crown of Sicily for his son Edmund in 1250. The payment was to meet the astonomical debts of the Pope, and Richard of Cornwall had already wisely turned down this bad bargain, commenting that he had been offered the moon, if he could reach it.

Henry's need for money dominated most of his domestic policy. During the period of his personal government he obtained what he needed by getting legalists and professional civil servants to manipulate the complex chaos of the feudal government he had inherited. Government became a secret and centralised affair, excluding the barons, great and small. There are many comparisons here with the tyranny of Chales I.

In 1258 came the explosion: Parliament refused a grant unless Henry should exile his grasping half-brothers, and allow a commission of enquiry. A committee was set up to control the appointment of Crown officials, examine and reform local government, and supervise the affairs of the realm in general.

This was a revolt, but it had many obscure roots. One cannot assess how deeply felt were the demands for just and equal government voiced by Simon de Montfort, but certainly there were other elements in the baronial party which were reactionary rather than revolutionary, wanting to return to baronial government for its own sake. On this issue the reformers spilt, Gloucester leading the conservatives, and de Montfort the radicals. Henry saw his chance, and deftly using the ever valuable support of the Pope, shook off the Committee's control.

Now came war, and the stunning defeat of the royal party at Lewes in 1264. From this point onwards Henry was very much a broken man, though prone to bouts of vicious anger. The initiative was passed to his son, the Lord Edward, who defeated de Montfort at Evesham, where Henry was rescued, scratched and shouting 'Do not hurt me.'

Henry longed for revenge, and disinherited the rebels, who fled to hideouts in the fens to continue the war. The papal legate Ottobono persuaded the King to go so far, in the Dictum of Kenilworth of 1266, as to allow the rebels to buy back their estates. Still not satisfied, the disinherited, under Gloucester's leadership, took London, and Richard of Cornwall negotiated an easier peace. In 1267 the Statute of Marlborough embodied much of what de Montfort had fought for, and the long years of trouble were over.

Henry had at least survived, and his last years were happy in that he fininshed building his patron saint's Abbey of Westminster. The wheel of fortune that decorated so many of his palaces' walls had come round, and all the rage and terror were done with. Henry died in 1272.

0558 BC - 0486 BC Darius Great King-Persia & Pharoah (as Seteture) of Egypt

Darius I (Old Persian Dârayavau?): king of ancient Persia, whose reign lasted from 522 to 486 . He seized power after killing king Gaumâta, fought a civil war (described in the Behistun i nscription), and was finally able to refound the Achaemenidac empire, which had been very loo sely organized until then. Darius fought several foreign wars, which brought him to India an d Thrace. When he died, the Persian empire had reached its largest extent. He was succeeded b y his son Xerxes.

http://www.livius.org/da-dd/darius/darius_i_t01.html

Darius the Great (Pers. داریوش, Darayavaush), the son of Hystaspes and Persian Emperor from 521 to 485 BC.

The principal source for his history is his own inscriptions, especially the great inscription of Behistun, in which he relates how he gained the crown and put down the rebellions. In modern times his veracity has often been doubted, but without any sufficient reason; the whole tenor of his words shows that we can rely upon his account. The accounts given by Herodotus and Ctesias of his accession are in many points evidently dependent on this official version, with many legendary stories interwoven, e.g. that Darius and his allies left the question as to which of them should become king to the decision of their horses, and that Darius won the crown by a trick of his groom.

Darius belonged to a younger branch of the royal family of the Achaemenidae. When, after the suicide of Cambyses II (March 521), the usurper Gaumata ruled undisturbed over the whole empire under the name of Bardiya (Smerdis), son of Cyrus, and no one dared to gainsay him, Darius, "with the help of Ahuramazda," attempted to regain the kingdom for the royal race. His father Hystaspes was still alive, but evidently had not the courage to urge his claims. Actually, according to his incription found at Susa, both his father Hystaspes and his grandfather Arsames, were alive when he became the king. Assisted by six noble Persians, whose names he proclaims at the end of the Behistun inscription, he surprised and killed the usurper in a Median fortress (October 521), and gained the crown. He also married Atossa, the widow of Smerdis.

But this sudden change was the signal for an attempt on the part of all the eastern provinces to regain their independence. In Susiana, Babylon, Media, Sagartia, and Margiana, usurpers arose, pretending to be of the old royal race, and gathered large armies around them; in Persia itself Vahyazdata imitated the example of Gaumata and was acknowledged by the majority of the people as the true Bardiya. Darius with only a small army of Persians and Medes and some trustworthy generals overcame all difficulties, and in 520 and 519 all the rebellions were put down (Babylon rebelled twice, Susiana even three times), and the authority of Darius was established throughout the empire.

Darius in his inscriptions appears as a fervent believer in the true religion of Zoroaster. He was also a great statesman and organizer. The time of conquests had come to an end; the wars which Darius undertook, like those of Augustus, only served the purpose of gaining strong natural frontiers for the empire and keeping down the barbarous tribes on its borders. Thus Darius subjugated the wild nations of the Pontic and Armenian mountains, and extended the Persian dominion to the Caucasus; for the same reasons he fought against the Sacae and other Turanian tribes. But by the organization which he gave to the empire he became the true successor of the great Cyrus. His organization of the provinces and the fixing of the tributes is described by Herodotus (iii. 90 if.), evidently from good official sources.

He fixed the coinage and introduced the gold coinage of the Daric (which is not named after him, as the Greeks believed, but derived from a Persian word meaning "gold"; in Middle Persian it is called zarig). He tried to develop the commerce of the empire, and sent an expedition down the Kabul and the Indus, led by the Carian captain Scylax of Caryanda, who explored the Indian Ocean from the mouth of the Indus to Suez. He dug a canal from the Nile to Suez, and, as the fragments of a hieroglyphic inscription found there show, his ships sailed from the Nile through the Red Sea by Saba to Persia.

He had connexions with Carthage (i.e. the Karka of the Nakshi Rustam inscription), and explored the shores of Sicily and Italy. At the same time he attempted to gain the good-will of the subject nations, and for this purpose promoted the aims of their priests. He allowed the Jews to build the Temple of Jerusalem. In Egypt his name appears on the temples which he built in Memphis, Edfu and the Great Oasis. He called the high-priest of Sais, Tzahor, to Susa (as we learn from his inscription in the Vatican), and gave him full powers to reorganize the "house of life," the great medical school of the temple of Sais.

In the Egyptian traditions he is considered as one of the great benefactors and lawgivers of the country. In similar relations he stood to the Greek sanctuaries (cf. his rescript to "his slave" Godatas, the inspector of a royal park near Magnesia, on the Maeander, in which he grants freedom of taxes and forced labour to the sacred territory of Apollo); all the Greek oracles in Asia Minor and Europe therefore stood on the side of Persia in the Persian Wars and admonished the Greeks to attempt no resistance.

About 512 Darius undertook a war against the Scythians. A great army crossed the Bosporus, subjugated eastern Thrace, and crossed the Danube. The purpose of this war can only have been to attack the nomadic Turanian tribes in the rear and thus to secure peace on the northern frontier of the empire. It was based upon a wrong geographical conception; even Alexander and his Macedonians believed that on the Hindu Kush (which they called Caucasus) and on the shores of the Jaxartes (which they called Tanais, i.e. Don) they were quite near to the Black Sea. Of course the expedition undertaken on these grounds could not but prove a failure; having advanced for some weeks into the Russian steppes, Darius was forced to return. The details given by Herodotus (according to him Darius had reached the Volga!) are quite fantastical; and the account which Darius himself had given on a tablet, which was added to his great inscription in Behistun, is destroyed with the exception of a few words.

Although European Greece was intimately connected with the coasts of Asia Minor, and the opposing parties in the Greek towns were continually soliciting his intervention, Darius did not meddle with their affairs. The Persian wars were begun by the Greeks themselves. The support which Athens and Eretria gave to the rebellious Ionianss and Carians made their punishment inevitable as soon as the rebellion had been put down. But the first expedition, that of Mardonius, failed on the cliffs of Mount Athos (492), and the army which was led into Attica by Datis in 490 was beaten at Marathon. Before Darius had finished his preparations for a third expedition an insurrection broke out in Egypt (486). In the next year Darius died, probably in October 485, after a reign of thirty-six years. He is one of the greatest rulers the east has produced.

HIST: JOHN WAS BORN ON CHRISTMAS EVE 1167, THE YOUNGEST SON TO HENRY II CURMANTLE AND ELEANOR OF AQUITAINE. HIS PARENTS DRIFTED APART AFTER HIS BIRTH, AND HIS YOUTH WAS DIVIDED BETWEEN HIS BROTHER'S HOUSE, WHERE HE LEARNED THE ART OF KNIGHTHOOD, AND
THE HOUSE OF HIS FATHER'S JUSTICIAR, RANULF GLANVILLE, WHERE HE LEARNED THE BUSINESS OF GOVERNMENT. AS THE 4TH SON, HE DID NOT INHERIT LANDS FROM HIS FATHER AND GAVE RISE TO HIS NICKNAME 'LACKLAND'. HIS FIRST MARRIAGE TO ISABEL OF GLOUCESTER
LASTED 10 YEARS AND WAS FRUITLESS. HIS SECOND WIFE, ISABELLA OF ANGOULEME BORE HIM TWO SONS, RICHARD AND HENRY III,AND THREE DAUGHTERS, ELEANOR, JOAN, AND ISABELLA. HE ALSO HAD AN ILLEGITIMATE DAUGHTER, ANOTHER JOAN, WHO MARRIED LLEWELLYN THE

JOHN TO RULE IRELAND, BUT JOHN ALIENATED THE NATIVE IRISH AND THE TRANSPLANTED ANGLO-NORMANS AND JOHN RETURNED HOME AFTER SIX MONTHS. AFTER RICHARD'S SUCCESSION IN 1189, RICHARD GAVE JOHN VAST LANDS TO APPEASE HIM. THIS DID NOT WORK AND JOHN
TRIED TO OVERTHROW RICHARD'S ADMINISTRATORS DURING RICHARD'S GERMAN CAPTIVITY. HE CONSPIRED WITH PHILIP II, AND THAT ATTEMPT FAILED. UPON RICHARD'S RELEASE IN 1194, JOHN WAS FORCED TO SUE FOR PARDON, AND SPENT THE NEXT FIVE YEARS IN HIS

Duke of Normandy from 1151
duke of Aquitaine from 1152
count of Anjou, Touraine, & Maine from 1151

Henry II was born at Le Mans in 1133. He was the eldest son of the Empress Matilda, daughter of Henry I, by her second marriage to Geoffrey the Fair of Anjou. His parents' marriage was tempestous, and both parties were glad when politics brought a separation, with Matilda going to England to fight King Stephen, and Geoffrey of Normandy to win a heritage for young Henry.

He first came to England at the age of nine when his mother made her dramatic escape from Oxford where she was besieged by Stephen, across the ice and snow, dressed all in white, to welcome him at Wallingford. His next visit, when he was fourteen, showed his character: he recruited a small army of mercenaries to cross over and fight Stephen in England, but failed so miserably in the execution of his plans that he ended up borrowing money from Stephen to get back home. A third expedition, two years later, was almost as great a failure. Henry was not a soldier, his were skills of administration and diplomacy; warfare bored and sometimes frightened him. For the meanwhile he now concentrated on Normandy, of which his father had made him joint ruler. In 1151, the year of his father's death, he went to Paris to do homage to Louis VII for his duchy. There he met Queen Eleanor, and she fell in love with him.

Henry was by no means averse. To steal a king's wife does a great deal for the ego of a young duke; he was as lusty as she, and late in their lives he was still ardently wenching with 'the fair Rosamund' Clifford, and less salubrious girls with names like 'Bellebelle'; finally, she would bring with her the rich Duchy of Aquitaine, which she held in her own right. With this territory added to those he hoped to inherit and win, his boundaries would be Scotland in the north, and the Pyrenees in the south.

Henry was, apart from his prospects, a 'catch' for any woman. He was intelligent, had learned Latin and could read and possibly write; immensely strong and vigorous, a sportsman and hard rider who loved travel; emotional and passionate, prone to tears and incredible rages; carelessly but richly dressed, worried enough in later life to conceal his baldness by careful arrangement of his hair, and very concerned not to grow fat.

But now he was in the prime of youth, and in 1153, when he landed with a large force in Bristol, the world was ready to be won. He quickly gained control of the West Country and moved up to Wallingford for a crucial battle with Stephen. This was avoided, however, because in thepreparations for the battle Henry fell from his horse three times, a bad omen. Henry himself was not superstitious -- he was the reverse, a cheerful blasphemer -- but he disliked battles and when his anxious advisers urged him to heed the omen, he willingly agreed to parley privately with Stephen. The conference was a strange occasion: there were only two of them there, at the narowest point of the Thames, with Henry on one bank and Stephen on the other. None the less, they seem to have come to an agreement to take negotiations further.

That summer Stephen's son died mysteriously, and Eleanor bore Henry an heir (about the same time as an English whore Hikenai produced his faithful bastard Geoffrey). The omens clearly showed what was soon confirmed between the two -- that when Stephen died, Henry should rule in his place. A year later Stephen did die, and in December 1154, Henry and Eleanor were crowned in London.

Henry was only 21, but he soon showed his worth, destroying unlicensed castles, and dispersing the foreign mercenaries. He gave even-handed justice, showing himself firm, but not unduly harsh. A country racked by civil war sighed with relief. Only two major difficulties appeared: first Henry's failure in his two Welsh campaigns in 1157 and 1165, when guerilla tactics utterly defeated and on the first occasion nearly killed him; second was the reversal of his friendship for Becket when he changed from being Chancellor to Archbishop of Canterbury in 1162.

The quarrel with Becket was linked with the King's determination to continue his grandfather's reform of the administration of justice in the country. He was anxious for a uniform pattern, operated by royal justices, to control the corrupt, ill-administered and unequal local systems operated by barons and churchmen. At Clarendon in 1166 and Northampton in 1176, he got his council's agreeemnt to a series of measures which established circuits of royal justices dealing with the widest range of criminal activities. The method of operation was novel, too, relying on a sworn jury of inquest of twelve men. Though not like a modern jury, in that they were witnesses rather than assessors, the assize juries were the ancestors of the modern English legal system.

Henry travelled constantly, and much of the time in his Contninental territories, for there were constant rebellions to deal with, usually inspired or encouraged by Louis of France. Henry was determined to keep the integrity of his empire, and to pass it on as a unity. To do this was no small task, but in 1169 Henry held a conference with the King of France which he hoped would achieve his objectives: he himself again did homage for Normandy, his eldest son Henry did homage for Anjou, Maine and Brittany, and Richard for Aquitaine. The next year he had young Henry crowned in his own lifetime. If anything could preserve the succession, surely this would, yet, in fact, it brought all the troubles in the world onto Henry's head, for he had given his sons paper domains, and had no intention that they should rule his empire. Yet a man with a title does not rest until he has that title's power.

Late in 1171 Henry had a pleasant interlude in Ireland -- escaping from the world's condemnation for the murder of Becket. He spent Christmas at Dublin in a palace built for him out of wattles by the Irish.

Meanwhile, Eleanor had been intriguing with her sons, urging them to revolt and demand their rights. Early in 1173 they trooped off to the French court, and with Louis joined in an attack on Normandy. Henry clamped Eleanor into prison and went off to meet the new threat. Whilst he was busy meeting this, England was invaded from Flanders and Scotland, and more barons who fancied a return of the warlord days of Stephen broke into revolt.

Plainly it was St. Thomas's revenge, and there was no hope of dealing with the situation without expiation. In July 1174 Henry returned to England, and went in pilgrim's dress to Canterbury. Through the town he walked barefoot, leaving a trail of blood on the flinty stones, and went to keep his vigil of a day and a night by the tomb, not even coming out to relive himself. As he knelt, the assembled bishops and all the monks of Christchurch came to scourge him -- each giving him three strokes, but some with bitterness in their hearts laying on with five.

It was worth it though, for the very morning his vigil ended Henry was brought the news that the King of Scotland had been captured. He moved quickly northwards, receving rebels' submission all the time. He met up with Geoffrey who had fought valiantly for him, and commented, 'My other sons have proved themselves bastards, this one alone is my true and legitimate son.'

Returning to France, he quickly came to an agreement with Louis and his three rebel sons, giving each a substantial income, though still no share of power.

Richard set to work reducing the Duchy of Aquitaine to order, and quickly proved himself an able general who performed tremendous feats, such as capturing a fully manned and provisioned castle with three walls and moats to defend it. But the people were less easy to subdue -- they loved war for its own sake as their poet-leader, Bertrand de Born, shows well in his works: '. . . I love to see amidst the meadows tents and pavilions spread; and it gives me great joy to see drawn up on the field knights and horses in battle array; and it delights me when the scouts scatter people and herds in their path; and my heart is filled with gladness when I see strong castles besieged, and the stockades broken and overwhelmed, and the warriors on the bank, girt about by fosses, with a line of strong stakes, interlaced . . . Maces, swords, helms of different hues, shields that will be riven and shattered as soon as the fight begins; and many vassals struck down together; and the horses of the dead and wounded roving at random. And when battle is joined, let all men of good lineage think of nought but the breaking of heads and arms: I tell you I find no such savour in food or in wine or in sleep as in hearing the shout "On! On!" from both sides, and the neighing of steeds that have lost their riders, and the cries of "Help! Help!"; and in seeing men great and small go down on the grass beyond the fosses; in seeing at last the dead, with the pennoned stumps of lances still in their sides.'

These robust knights were actively encouraged by the young King Henry. He was handsome, charming and beloved of all, but also feckless and thoughtless -- far keener on tournaments and frivolity than the serious business of government. Then in the midle of his new rebellion he caught disentery and shortly died. His devoted followers were thunderstruck -- one young lad actually pined to death -- and the rebellion fizzled out.

The young king was dead, but Henry, wary of previous errors, was not going to rush into making a new one. He called his favourite youngest son, John, to his side and ordered Richard to give his duchy into his brother's hands. Richard -- his mother's favourite -- had made Aquitaine his home and worked hard to establish his control there; he refused to give his mother's land to anyone, unless it were back to Eleanor herself.

Henry packed John off to Ireland (which he speedily turned against himself) whilst he arranged to get Eleanor out of her prison and bring her to Aquitaine to receive back the duchy. Meanwhile the new King of France, Philip, was planning to renew the attack on English territories, all the while the three, Henry, Richard, and Philip, were supposed to be planning a joint crusade.

In 1188 Henry, already ill with the absessed anal fistula that was to cause him such an agonising death, refused pointblank to recognise Richard as his heir. The crazy project for substituting John was at the root of it all, though Henry may have deluded himself into thinking he was playing his usual canny hand.

But diplomacy was giving way to the Greekest of tragedies. In June 1189, Philip and Richard advanced on Henry at his birthplace in Le Mans, and he was forced to withdraw with a small company of knights, showering curses on God. Instead of going to the safety of Normandy, he rode hard, his usual long distance, deep into Anjou. This worsened his physical condition and, in high fever, he made no effort to call up forces to his aid. Forced to meet Philip and Richard, he was so ill he had to be held on his horse whilst he deliriously mumbled his abject agreement to their every condition for peace.

Back in bed after his last conference he was brought the news that John, for whom he had suffered all this, had joined the rebels' side. Two sons -- both rebels -- were dead, two sons -- both rebels -- lived, and it was his bastard Geoffrey who now tended him in his last sickness. There was not even a bishop in his suite to give him the last rites. Over and again he cried out in agony "Shame! shame on a vanquished king!"

After his death the servants plundered him, leaving him in a shirt and drawers. When the marshall came to arrange the burial he had to scratch around for garments in which to dress the body. A bit of threadbare gold edging from a cloak was put around Henry's head to represent his sovereignty.

And yet Henry had forseen it all. According to Gerald of Wales, he had long before ordered a fresco for one of his rooms at Winchester: the picture showed an eagle being pecked by three eaglets, and a fourth perched on his head, ready to peck out his eyes when the time should come.

Geoffrey IV, also called GEOFFREY PLANTAGENET, byname GEOFFREY THE FAIR, French GEOFFROI PLANTAGENET, or GEOFFROI le BEL (b. Aug. 24, 1113--d. Sept. 7, 1151, Le Mans, Maine [France]), count of Anjou (1131-51), Maine, and Touraine and ancestor of the Plantagenet kings of England through his marriage, in June 1128, to Matilda (q.v.), daughter of Henry I of England. On Henry's death (1135), Geoffrey claimed the duchy of Normandy; he finally conquered it in 1144 and ruled there as duke until he gave it to his son Henry (later King Henry II of England) in 1150.

Geoffrey was popular with the Normans, but he had to suppress a rebellion of malcontent Angevin nobles. After a short war with Louis VII of France, Geoffrey signed a treaty (August 1151) by which he surrendered the whole of Norman Vexin (the border area between Normandy and Île-de-France) to Louis. [Encyclopaedia Britannica CD '97]

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

The Plantagenet family name was originally just a nickname for Geoffrey. He many times wore a sprig with yellow flowers in his hat. The flower was named "genet" or "genistae" in the French of the times--thus his nickname was "Plant-a-Genet". Genet was supposedly a traditional flower of the Anjou family dating back to the time of Fulk, The Great, Count of Anjou 898-941 who was scourged (in order to atone for past sins) with broom twigs of the Genet while on pilgrimage in Jerusalem. Most people of the times had personal nicknames such as "Beauclerc", "Curtmantel", "Longshanks", and "Lackland", but Geoffrey's stuck and eventually (many generations later) became the family name. Geoffrey's immediate descendants were probably not known as the Plantagenet family at the time they lived, it was only later that the Plantagenet family name was applied to all descendants of Geoffrey.

He was an early member of the Achaemenid dynasty. He was apparently a great-grandson of its founder Achaemenes of Anshan, grandson of Teispes of Anshan and son of Cyrus I of Anshan. His paternal uncle reigned as Ariaramnes of Persia and his first cousin as Arsames of Persia.

According to Herodotus, Cambyses was "a man of good family and quiet habits". He reigned under the overlordship of Astyages, King of Media. He was reportedly married to Princess Mandane of Media, a daughter to Astyages and Princess Aryenis of Lydia. His wife was reportedly a granddaughter to both Cyaxares of Media and Alyattes II of Lydia. The result of their marriage was the birth of his successor Cyrus II the Great.

According to Herodotus, Cyaxares chose Cambyses as a son-in-law because he considered him to pose no threat to the Medean throne. This was not the case with Cyrus II who would grow to depose his grandfather.

Cyrus I  was King of Anshan from c. 600 to 580 BC or according to others from c. 652 to 600 BC.

He was an early member of the Achaemenid dynasty. He was apparently a grandson of its founder Achaemenes of Anshan and son of Teispes of Anshan. Teispes' sons reportedly divided the kingdom among them after his death. Cyrus reigned as King of Anshan while his brother as King Ariaramnes of Persia.

The chronological placement of this event is uncertain. This is due to his suggested but still debated identification with the monarch known as "Kuras of Parsumas". Kuras is first mentioned c. 652 BC. At that year Shamash-shum-ukin, King of Babylon (668 - 648 BC) revolted against his older brother and overlord Ashurbanipal, King of Assyria (668 - 627 BC). Kuras is mentioned being in a military alliance with the former. The war between the two brothers ended in 648 BC with the defeat and reported suicide of Shamash-shum-ukin.

Kuras is mentioned again in 639 BC. At that year Ashubarnibal managed to defeat Elam and became overlord to several of its former allies. Kuras was apparently among them. His elder son "Arukku" was reportedly sent to Assyria to pay tribute to its King. Kuras then seems to vanish from historical record. His suggested identification with Cyrus would help connect the Achaemenid dynasty to the major events of the 7th century BC.

Ashurbanipal died in 627 BC. Cyrus presumably continued paying tribute to his sons and successors Ashur-etil-ilani (627 - 623 BC) and Sin-shar-ishkun (623 BC - 612 BC). They were both opposed by an alliance led by Cyaxares of the Medes (633 - 584 BC) and Nabopolassar of Babylon (626 - 605 BC). In 612 BC the two managed to capture the Assyrian capital Nineveh. This was effectively the end of the Assyrian Empire though remnants of the Assyrian army under Ashur-uballit II (612 - 609 BC) continued to resist from Harran.

Media and Babylonia soon shared the lands previously controlled by the Assyrians. Anshan apparently fell under the control of the former. Cyrus is considered to have ended his days under the overlordship of either Cyaxares or his son Astyages (584 BC - 550 BC). Cyrus was succeeded by his son Cambyses I of Anshan. His grandson would come to be known as Cyrus the Great, creator of the Persian Empire.

It has been noted that this account of his life and reign would place his early activities more than a century before those of his grandson. This would place his fathering of Cambyses very late in life and his death at an advanced age. It has been argued that Kuras and Cyrus I were separate figures of uncertain relation to each other. The later would have then reigned in the early 6th century BC and his reign would seem rather uneventful. Due to the current lack of sufficient records for this historical period it remains uncertain which theory is closer to the facts.

Note: William de Albini, surnamed Pincerna, son of Roger de Albini and elder brother of Nigel de Albini, whose posterity assumed and attained such eminence under the name of Mowbray, accompanied the Conqueror into England and acquired extensive territorial possessions by royal grants in Norfolk and other counties. of these grants was the lordship of Bokenham, to be holden by the service of being Butler to the Kings of England on the day of their coronation, and in consequence we find this William styled in divers charters "Pincerna Henrici Regis Anglorum." William de Albini founded the abbey of Wymondham in Norfolk and gave to the monks of Rochester the tithes of the manor of Elham, as also one carucate of land in Achestede, with a wood called Acholte. He likewise bestowed upon the abbey of St. Etienne at Caen, in Normandy, all his lands lying in Stavell, which grant he made in the presence of King Henry and his barons. He m. Maude, dau. of Roger Bigot, with whom he obtained ten knights' fees in Norfolk, and had issue, William, Nigel, Oliver, and Oliva, who m. Ralph de Haye. At the obsequies of Maud, William de Albini gave to the monks of Wymondham the manor of Hapesburg, in pure alms, and made livery thereof to the said monks by a cross of silver, in which (says Dugdale) was placed certain venerable reliques, viz., "part of the wood of the cross whereon our Lord was crucified; part of the manger wherein he was laid at his birth; and part of the sepulchre of the Blessed Virgin; as also a gold ring, and a silver chalice for retaining the Holy Eucharist, admirably wrought in form of a sphere; unto which pious donation his three sons were witnesses, with several other persons." The exact time of the decease of this great feudal baron is not ascertained, but it is known that he was buried before the high altar in the abbey of Wymondham, and that the monks were in the constant habit of praying for his soul by the name of "William de Albini, the king's butler." He was s. by his eldest son, William de Albini. [Sir Bernard Burke, Dormant, Abeyant, Forfeited and Extinct Peerages, Burke's Peerage, Ltd., London, England, 1883, p. 2, Albini, Earls of Arundel]

Some histories shown him as Judiarch of Narbonne and Exilarch of Bagdad, and secretly a prince of the house of David. This theory derives from Arthur Zuckerman's book, "A Jewish Princedom in Feudal France, 768-900" (New York, 1972), the thesis of which is not accepted by all historians. Regardless, William was a very impressive individual about whom the largest body of heroic poetry in medieval France, the "Saint William cycle" of chansons de geste, developed in the centuries following his death. According to Pierre Bétourné d`Haucourt in"Héraldique et Génealogie, 1981, p.363: Guilhem, Margrave of Toulouse,later monk at Gellone, canonised as St. William of the Desert (St.Guilhem du Désert), * ca. 752, +812. The remains of the monastery where he resided and which was named after him (Saint-Guilhem-le-Désert) were transported to New York and re-built in the Cloisters complex of the Metroploitan Museum of Art earlier the 20th century. Additionally, David H. Kelley identifies him as the exilarch Natronai, both are questionable, especially in view of the Roman destruction of Jersalem and it's genealogical records in 70 CE. Although it should be noted that Charlemagne did bring back a Jewish official to Germany and this is supposed to be the father of Guillaume.

Nekau (II), who we know better as Necho, was either the 2nd or 3rd king of Egypt's 26th Dynasty, depending on whether we allow the rule of a nominal king Nekau I at the beginning of the Dynasty. Nekau was his Birth name, and Necho is actually his Greek name. His Throne name was Wah-em-ib-re, which means "Carrying out the Wish of Re Forever".
He came to the throne, succeeding his father, Psammetichus I in about 610 BC., and probably ruled Egypt until about 595 BC. He continued the foreign involvement of his father, and Palestine once more became an Egyptian possession. In fact, much of Egypt's involvement in that area is found in the Biblical account of the Book of Kings. Initially things went well for Nekau II and we find the Egyptian forces campaigning east of the Euphrates river against the Chaldaeans, defeating Josiah of Judah in 609 BC. at Harran. This allowed the Egyptians to establish themselves on the Euphrates for a short while, though apparently the Egyptians did not end up controlling that city. He then intervened in the kingdom of Israel and deposed Josiah's son Jehoahaz, replacing him with his brother Eliakim (Jehoiakim (II Kings 23: 29-35). Afterwards, we are told that Jerusalem paid tribute to Egypt. He also ruled Syria at least as for as Carchemish.

But this position was also soon lost, when in 605 BC, the king suffered a catastrophic loss. The son of the Babylonian king, Nabopolassar was sent to deal with Syria. This was Nebuchadrezzar, and he captured Carchemish from the Egyptians, and then pursued the fleeing army as far as Hamath, where he apparently overwhelmed them. Hence, this was followed by a retreat to by the Egyptians to their eastern frontier at Gaza.

Necho is known to have been responsible for monuments honoring the Apris Bull in Memphis. We also find inscriptional evidence of the king in the quarries of the Mokattam Hills.

But in many ways, Necho was a very foresighted individual who's vision included a "Suez Canal" almost 2,500 years prior to the modern construct. He had a navigable canal dug, using some 12,000 workers, through the Wadi Tumilat between the Pelusiac branch of the Nile (where the great frontier fortress of Pelusium was located) and the Red Sea. H \caused a great port city, Per-Temu-Tjeku ("the House of Atum of Tjeku", modern Tell el-Mashkuta) west of modern Ismailia to be built on the canal, and like Suez later, its fortunes were inevitably linked with this new waterway. Tradition held that this was the Biblical city of Pithom, but recent excavations have shown this to be incorrect.

At this time, Greece was expanding her trading contacts and Necho took the opportunity to recruit displaced Ionian Greeks to form an Egyptian Navy. This was, militarily, revolutionary, for the Egyptians had an inherent distaste for and fear of the sea. While this new navy was probably not much threat to his rivals, it did lead to other benefits, such as the creation of a new African trade route. He also encouraged some Greek settlement in the Delta.

When Nacho II died in 595 BC., he left behind a son and three daughters. His son, Psammetichus II, only ruled for a brief period.

This Adelaide is the focal point of one of the most debated controversiesin medieval genealogy. Although I show her as marrying 3 times, aftermuch study of numerous postings on GEN-MEDIEVAL, I have beenpersuaded that two individuals have probably been combined into one. Forconvenience sake, I leave her in my database as one person. An excerpt
from one of the postings sums it up best:
Matman posted tosoc.genealogy.medieval on 21 May 1997 (in part):Subject: Re: Burgundy - One more try to sum up *"Adelaide dau of DUKE GISELBERT appears with her husband ROBERTOF TROYES and son Heribert in a charter of 949. There is no problem withthis. The difference of opinion is whether this Adelaide is the same asthe wife of LAMBERT who later married GEOFFREY. Most historians haveshied away from making this assumption, eg Maurice Chaume (who wasotherwise much given to speculation) in his 'The Origins of Burgundy'1925, Werner in an article in Die Welt als Geschicht, 1960, p107-13(especially p111), and more recently Constance Bouchard, 'Sword andMitre'.To make them one person does create problems, not least with thechronology. Adelaide was old enough to have children by about 950 (forshe had a grandson FULK THE BLACK by c.970), yet she was still youngenough to have children (eg Maurice) c.980 or later. Its possible, but onlyjust. I don't know how common it was for noblewomen to give birth after40.Secondly if she only married LAMBERT after 967, then any childrenfrom that marriage could not have been born before that. But ADALBERTOF ITALY first husband of GERBERGA had died by 975 at the latest, andOTTO-WILLIAM was their son. So clearly if one accepts that Adelaidewas one person, one has to find different parents for GERBERGA. Somehave got round this by making GERBERGA a daughter of LAMBERT by anearlier wife. As LAMBERT first appears in 944, and is called count in959, this may not be impossible.Lastly, I may be naive about this, but even in the tenth century, acase of a mother marrying her son-in-law would be exceptional (no?) andarouse comment, yet no source mentions such a thing."Weis' "Ancestral Roots. . ." (118:19-21), identifies Adelaide as the dau.of ROBERT, COUNT OF TROYES (RIN 1230), and also identifies GEOFFREY asher 2nd husband, and FULK III as their son.ES iii, 49; ii, 189 [rev. in iii(1)]; and iii, 116 and 433. ES III, 49 hasAdelaide as the daughter of GISELBERT OF CHALONS etc, marrying firstROBERT, then LAMBERT (d.979), then GEOFFREY; and Adela marryingLAMBERT (d.978) then GEOFFREY, which would mean Adela married bothher stepfathers. [There is evidently some confusion between Adelaide &Adela.]The above note leads to the opinion , held by some, that this Adelaidemarried ROBERT, then LAMBERT, then her son-in-law GEOFFREY. Thesequence of events for this most unusual web of intermarriages wouldbe as follows:950 ROBERT C OF TROYES m. Adelaide of Burgundy & dau. ADELE born.
965 GEOFFREY GREYMANTLE (age 28) m. ADELE OFVERMANDOIS/TROYES (age 15).967 ROBERT died and his widow almost immediately m. LAMBERT.975/8 ADELE died and her widower, GEOFFREY, m. after a wait of 1 to5 years, his deceased wife's newly widowed mother,Adelaide of Burgundy.979 LAMBERT died. His widow, Adelaide, as stated above, then m. ,
almost immediately, her son-in-law, GEOFFREY.

As a dissenting opinion re. her parentage:
Richard Borthwick posted tosoc.genealogy.medieval on 1 Dec 1996:Subject: Re: Gerberga, wife of Adalbert (was re. Welfs)"In her discussion of the counts of Chalons CBB [Constance BrittainBouchard *Sword, Mitre and Cloister: Nobility and the Church inBurgundy, 980-1198* (Ithica NY & London, Cornell University Press,1987)] says:"LAMBERT married a woman named Adelaide (*). While there is noevidence of her origins in the sources, scholars have repeatedly tried totie her to the family of GISELBERT, COUNT OF BURGUNDY [RIN 1232], bothbecause GISELBERT did have a daughter named Adelaide and the mother,as I have it, of the Adelaide mentioned in the following note - i.e. thewife of ROBERT, COUNT OF TROYES (RIN 1230)] and because they feel aneed to explain how LAMBERT could have LEGITIMATELY** succeeded toChalon#. I prefer to leave Adelaide's origins unknown; since LAMBERT'ssuccession to Chalon was recognised by the king, he did not need ahereditary claim by his wife to legitimize his rule(##).LAMBERT died in 978, and his wife Adelaide quickly married GEOFFREYGREYMANTLE, count of Anjou.

Charlemagne known as Rex Francorum et Langobardorum. He was born April 2, 742 in Aachen, Neustrie. Between the years 767 and 814, Charlemagne's title after 800 A.D. was Carolus serenissimus augustus a Deo coronatus magnus et pacificus imperator Romanum gubernans imperium, qui est per misericordium Dei rex
Francorum et Langobardorum. It was designed to include the Romas in the Frankish empire without centering the Empire upon them. Charlemagne stressed the royal and Frankish bases for his power. Charlemagne was also referred to as Charles.

The Franks, over whom Charlemagne came to reign in the year 768, were originally a loose confederation of Germanic tribes. By the 6th century they had begun to force their way into Gaul (France and Belgium), and there they eventually settled. The modern name of France comes from the word "frank". The Franks ousted the Gallic landowners who were the last remnants of the Roman Empire, conquered the Visigoths in the south of France, and fought other Germanic tribes such as the Burgundians and the Alamanni. The great Frankish leader who unified the confederacy into a powerful entity was Clovis, first of the Merovingian kings. These rulers were replaced several centuries later by the House of St. Arnulf, the family line of Charlemagne.

The Merovingian dynasty developed the Franks into a national entity and made many conquests. However, by the 7th century, the powerful blood of Clovis had been diluted considerably and King Sigibert III of the Merovings was a mere puppet under the control of his Mayor of the Palace. It was from these Mayors of the Palace - senior officers of the royal house - that Charlemagne's ancestors were eventually to become kings.

The following is a description of Charlemagne from his chroniclers: He was tall and stoutly built. His height just 7 times the length of his foot. His head was round, his eyes large and lively, his nose somewhat above the common size, his expression bright and cheerful. His health was excellent. He frequently rode and hunted and enjoyed swimming. His capital city of Aachen (Aix la Chapelle) was partly chosen because of its hot springs, where Charles swam daily in the great bath.

Charlemagne was the King of Franks 767-814, and Emperor of the West from Dec. 25, 800 ; King of the Francs (767-814) ; and Emperor of the Occident (800-814). Charlemagne succeeded his father, Pepin Le Bref, in 768 and reigned with his brother Carloman. Between 782 and 785 hardly a year passed without confrontation with the Saxons. In 772, during the first major expedition, the Irminsul was destroyed. That year also saw the beginning of a 30 year war against the Saxons as the Francs ravaged the Saxon land by steel and by fore.

In 773, the Francs routed the Lombards who sought refuge in Pavia. Gerberge and her children then took refuge in Verona where Charles took them prisoners. Didier's son, Adalgise, successfully escaped the assaults and spent the rest of his life in Constantinople. On June 5, 774, Charles reclaimed the title of King of the Lombards and of the Francs as he triumphantly entered Pavia. In 775 the castle of Siegburg and the castle of Eresburg were reorganized. Near Hoxter, a large number of Westphalian Saxons were slaughtered in the Sachsen-graben. In 777, at Paderborn, an assembly inaugurated the ecclesiastical organization of Saxony, which divided the country into
missionary zones. In 777, Charles had been visited by Solaman, Ibn-al-Arabi, who had turned against his master, the Emire Abd-al-Rahman and offered Charles the cities entrusted to his care.

In 778, Charles crosses the Pyrenees, occupies Pampelune, and marched on Sarabossa. But upon learning that the Saxons had once more rebelled and were crossing the Rhine, he turned back. On August 15, the rear guard, under the command of the Seneschal Eginhard, the Count of the Palace Anselm, and of Roland, Duke of the Marche of Brittany, was attacked by Basques or Gascons forces. In the meantime, the Saxons ravaged the Frankish holdings from Cologne to the Moselle. In 779 and 781, Widukind, a Westphalian noble, defeated the
Frankish armies in the Sutel mountains. Charlemagne is reputed to have 4,500 Saxons beheaded in Verdun. In 782, the country was divided into counties administered by Saxon. At Attigny, in 785, Widukind and his son-in-law, Abbi, submittted to Charlemagne who enforced their baptism and became their Godfather. In December 795, Hadrian I was succeeded by Pope Leon III. By 797, Saxony was conquered. In a brilliant military campaign (773-774), he put an end to the Lombard Dynasty and took the title King of the Lombards. He conquered Bavaria (781-788) and then the land of the Avares (792-799), a people related to the Huns. 797 proved to be a year of diplomacy. In the early part of the year, several Sarasin chiefs ( Zata and Abdallah) gave homage to Charlemagne at Aix and Gerona, Caserres and Vich became occupied by the Francs. While in Aix, Charlemagne also received the ambassador of the Emperor of Constantinople, Constantin VI, arriving with offers of friendship. In Heerstall, later in the year, the Huns made peace. Charlemagne also received the ambassodor from Alfonzo, King of Galicia and of the Asturias. On April 25, 799, the Feast of St. Mark, the Pope is assailed by aristocrats loyal to Byzantium in front of the Church of St. Stephen and Sylvester. He was thrown in the monastery of St. Erasmus, but escaped and sought refuge under the Duke of Spoleto.

On Dec. 23, 800 , according to the Liber Pontificalis, the Pope was cleared of all charges brought by the rebellious aristocrats. Charlemagne's task was to determine the appropriate punishment for those who had perpetrated the assault on the Holy Father. On Dec. 25, 800, Pope Leon III, crowned him Emperor of the Occident. This was made possible because the Emperor Constatin VI had effectively been dethroned by his mother, Irene, who had him blinded and then proclaimed herself the "Basileus". Unfortunately a throne occupied by a woman according to Nomen Imperatoris, is a vacant one. The day after the crowning, Pope Leon III proclaimed the year ONE of the Empire, and the money was stamped with the Pope's image on one side and that of Charlemagne on the other.

On the death of his 3rd wife, Charles lived with no less than 3 concubines who bore him numerous children. This pagan kingly behavior gave rise to criticism from the Church. The relaxed morality of Charles himself extended to some members of his large family. Two of his daughters lived in "sin" without any comment from their father, but as soon as Louis the Pious inherited the crown, he banished these sisters to appease the Church.

Charles died after complications following a winter cold. He was buried in the cathedral at Aachen, in a sarcophagus taken from an ancient Roman site somewhere in Italy. A golden shrine was placed over his tomb, with an image of Charles and the simple inscription (translated): Within this tomb is laid the body of the Christian Emperor Charlemagne, who guided the kingdom of the Franks with distinction and ruled in with success for 47 years.

He had a total of 10 spouses of which five were lawful. He was the King of Franks 768-814 as was also known as Charles the Great or Carlus Magnus.


*************************


The battle of the Pyrenees is the subject of one of the most well-known medieval epics, "The Song of Roland". The following is taken from the introduction to "The Song of Roland", in "Medieval Epics", translated by W.S. Merwin, Modern Library, Random House, New York, 1963.

Some time near the end of July, Charles Martel (Charles the King, Charles the Emperor, Charles the Great, Charlemagne) turned his army north toward the Pyrenees and France. The year was 778. He was thirty-six years old and he was not used to failure, but even the royal chroniclers would have difficulty in trying to describe his ambitious summer campaign in Spain as though it had been a success.

It had not been hastily conceived. Suleiman, the Moorish governor of Barcelona, had visited Charles in the spring of 777 to urge him to cross the Pyrenees, and the request, and Charles' response to it, were both influenced by dynastic and religious promptings which had histories of their own.

Suleiman was a member of the Abassid dynasty, descended from an uncle of Mohammed. Earlier in the century the Abassids had overthrown the reigning Umayyad dynasty and assassinated every member of it except one, Abdur Rahman, who had escaped to Spain and established himself there as the Emir. Suleiman's hatred of Rahman was understandable, and it had already led him to seek and to obtain the protection of his Christian neighbor, King Pepin of France, Charles' father.

There were other reasons why Charles would have been sympathetic to Suleiman. He was himself a member of a young dynasty, a matter of subtle importance in a world governed to a great degree by tradition. And then, Abdur Rahman, as the last representative of the Umayyads, stood for the family which, half a century before, had commanded the great Moorish invasion of France. At that time the apparently invincible Umayyads had forced their way as far north as Tours before Charles' grandfather, Charles Martel, turned them back. It was the Umayyads whom Charles' father, Pepin, had fought and at last driven from France.

But doubtless none of these considerations would have impelled Charles to cross the Pyrenees if it had not been for a more powerful and obvious motive: his own ambition. In the first nine years of his reign he had conquered Aquitaine, beaten the Saxons and the Lombards, and become the official guardian of Christendom, whose boundaries he had extended to the north and east. An expedition into Spain would give him a chance to unify the different parts of his realm in a common effort, and incidentally to conquer the as yet unsubjected Basque provinces. Suleiman probably stressed the apparent fact that Rahman was a menace to Charles' southern frontier, and very possibly he would have told the French king that if he were to attack Rahman now he could not help succeeding, that the Abassids themselves were raising an army of Berbers to send against the Umayyad, and that the people of Spain were on the point of rebellion. The exact details of the embassage and the terms of the agreement that was reached are not known. But by Easter 778 Charles was in Poitou with an immense army recruited from every part of his kingdom: it included Goths, contingents from Septimania and Provence, Austrasians, Neustrians, Lombards, Burgundians, and Bavarians. After Easter he crossed the western end of the Pyrenees, through the Basque country, at the head of half his army. He sent the other half around the eastern end of the mountains. They were to meet before Saragossa.

Just what happened that summer was carefully obscured in the accounts and will never be known. Certainly there were no great triumphs. The Christian natives of Spain did not hasten to overthrow the tolerant Moorish rule and welcome the Franks; on the contrary, the Christians of the kingdom of Asturias preferred their own independence to the presence of a foreign army however dear to the Pope. It is also possible that they were in league with Rahman. At any rate they resisted the Franks. The Christian city of Pampelona refused entry to Charles and had to be stormed; it was the only city in the entire campaign which was actually taken. The native rebellion against Rahman never amounted to much and Suleiman himself had a falling out with his Moorish allies on the African continent. When the Frankish army assembled before Saragossa the city defied it, despite Suleiman's diplomatic efforts; it is not known how hard Charles tried to take it, but he had no siege machinery, and he failed. By some time in July he had received the formal surrender of a few cities -- a gesture which may have owed as much to his alliance with Suleiman as it did to his own army -- and he had gained some hostages, and little else. There is no way of knowing just why he abandoned the campaign so early in the summer. It is possible that he saw nothing to be gained by staying, in the circumstances, and was simply cutting his losses. Supplies may have run dangerously low. It is conceivable that the campaign had turned out far worse than the accounts would lead us to suppose, and that the army was in fact retreating. Even if that were so it cannot have been a rushed or disorderly retreat: in August the army stopped at Pampelona long enough to raze the walls of the city to punish the inhabitants for their resistance, and no doubt to weaken the Spanish side of the frontier. It has been suggested (by Fawtier) that if Charles had not been in a hurry, for some reason, he would have paused long enough to celebrate the important feast of the Dormition of the Virgin on August 15th. At any event he did not do so, but pushed on into the Pyrenees.

What happened next is one of the great riddles. In the earliest history of Charles' expedition, the one included in a chronicle known as the Annales Royales, there is no reference to any military action whatever in the Pyrenees. All later writers on the subject have agreed that the author had something of importance to be silent about. Of such importance, in fact, that his immediate successors evidently felt that mere silence would not serve to conceal it, and set about explaining it. The original Annales were rewritten and expanded roughly a quarter of a century after they were first compiled. It was long thought that the rewriting was done by Charlemagne's biographer Einhard, and though it is now certain that the changes are not his, the second edition of the chronicle is still referred to as the Annales dites d'Einhard. In this work there is a brief and contradictory account of something which happened on the way back from Spain. The Basques, it says here, from positions at the tops of the mountains attacked the rear guard and put the whole army in disorder; the Franks were caught at a disadvantage and did badly; most of the commanders of the different sections of the army were killed, and the enemy, helped by the nature of the terrain, managed to carry off the baggage and escape. There is a reference, too, to the bitterness of Charles' grief.

Then there is Einhard's own account. In the first place he is more ingenious than his predecessors at making it sound as though the Spanish campaign had been a success; then, having built up the picture, he sets against it the Pyrenean ambush on the way back as a relatively minor mishap. It was the treacherous Gascons, he says; they waited until the army was spread out in a long line in the gorges, and then they rushed down and threw the baggage train and the rear guard into confusion. There was a battle in the valley and the Franks were thrown back. The Gascons killed their opponents, the rear guard, to a man, seized the baggage, and scattered under cover of night. Their flight was made easier by their light armor and the nature of the terrain. And then Einhard says, "In this battle Egginhard the royal seneschal, Anselm the Count of the Palace, and Hruodland, the Warden of the Breton Marches, were killed, with very many others." It is one of the only two glimpses in history of the knight whose name would come to evoke one of the richest bodies of legend in the Middle Ages, and one of its greatest poems. The other is a coin, worn, but still displaying on one side the name Carlus, and on the reverse, Rodlan.
One final mention of the battle, by the chroniclers, is of interest. While the army was making its way back from Spain, Charlemagne's wife, in France, gave birth to a son, Louis, who would be his heir. Sixty years after the battle Louis' own biographer, a writer known as The Astronome, in speaking of it said that the names of those who fell in that action were so well known that there was no need to repeat them.

Of all the battles of the period, this one probably has excited most curiosity, and almost nothing about it is definitely known. It is not mere historical interest in the sources of the Roland story which still draws the speculation of scholars to what scanty evidence has come down to our times. In this case the theories of how the legend developed from the event are even more than usually dependent upon a notion of what the event was: a bitter but militarily unimportant misfortune, on the one hand, or one of the critical defeats of Charlemagne's reign, on the other.

Bedier, one of the great students of medieval literature in modem times and the editor of the Oxford text of La Chanson de Roland, propounded the theory of the development of the legend which was generally accepted for years. The battle, he believed, was a minor event which had been remembered in the area near the battlefield and had become a local legend; from those beginnings it had been retold and developed in monasteries and pilgrim sanctuaries along the route leading to Santiago de Compostella, in Spain; the route crossed the Pyrenees at Roncevaux -- the Roncesvalles associated with the Roland story. Bedier, incidentally, was convinced that a number of the French chansons de geste developed in more or less the same way and may have been written by monks, or at least in collaboration with monks. With reference to the Roland, in particular, he cites the fact that the pass at Roncevaux was commended for admiration (complete with a monumental cross said to be Carolingian and other relics claiming descent from Roland and the battle) by the monks at Roncevaux in the twelfth century; he points out that one variant of the Roland legend is contained in a twelfth-century guide written for the benefit of pilgrims to Santiago de Compostella.

Bedier's theory was published just before World War I. It was subjected to criticism in the following decades by a number of scholars; one of the most interesting counter theories was put forward by Fawtier (La Chanson de Roland) in 1933. Fawtier analyzes the chroniclers' references to the battle and bases his conclusions, in great part, on the weaknesses in their accounts. The chroniclers, he insists, cannot have it both ways. Was it merely a massacre of the rear guard, or did it in fact involve the whole army and "throw it into disorder"? He poses some other interesting questions. Why, for instance, should the baggage train have been at the rear of the march, when it was usual to have it in the middle, especially in mountain country? Why should so many of the leaders of the different sections of the army have been in the rear guard (of course the legend itself, with its story of the Ganelon-Roland dispute, answers this one, but the legend in its final form came much later and a great part of it is concerned with the peculiar drama of this very situation). How many of these details, and how much of the picture of the lightning raid from the mountain tops may have been attempts to minimize and explain away a terrible defeat which had happened while Charles himself was in command?

In Fawtier's view, the battle, whether it took place at Roncevaux or elsewhere, was one of the great disasters of Charlemagne's career. The army, hurrying into the Pyrenees, was caught in a classical ambush: the van was blocked, the rear was then attacked, and the Franks had to fight their way forward, section by section, suffering losses so appalling that Charles never really managed to reassemble the survivors on the other side of the mountains, and instead set about hastily reorganizing the strong points in Aquitaine as though he expected further troubles from Spain. In fact the magnitude of the defeat was one of the things about the action which caught the popular imagination and contributed to the growth of the legend around the heroic figure of the doomed commander of the rear guard, Hruodland, Rodlan, Roland.

The legend may have grown in the region around Roncevaux, but it was elaborated in other parts of the kingdom too. By the late eleventh century, when the poem was written, it was possible for the poet to display, without fear of correction, an ignorance of the geography of Spain and, for that matter, of southern France, which indicates not only that he himself came from somewhere far from that part of the world, but also that the story and its heroes had long been familiar in places remote from the original battlefield. An audience at Roncevaux might just have been able to go along with the poet's assumption that Cordoba was near the hill city of Saragossa, which in turn was on the sea; it is unlikely that, even in the Middle Ages when simple experience was so meek an authority, they would have heard without a murmur that Narbonne and Bordeaux both lay on the same road north from Roncevaux. Furthermore, this shows a total ignorance of the Santiago pilgrim route and its monasteries, an interesting fact in view of the theory that the poem was composed in one of those places, on that route.

In Fawtier's opinion the story of the defeat was carried across France by its veterans, and in various localities, as it took on the character of legend through repetition, it was cast, in whole or in part, into the form of ballads. It is true that none of these survive, but then very little of the popular literature of the time has survived. The monks had nothing to do with the composition of La Chanson de Roland itself (although two other, later variants of the legend were composed by clerics). On the contrary, it was the legend, and perhaps the poem itself, which prompted the ecclesiastics at Roncevaux to exploit the pass as a pilgrim attraction -- an enterprise which may have contributed to the poem's preservation.

There has been considerable controversy as to just when La Chanson de Roland was written. It must have been some time in the latter half of the eleventh century, but it is not possible to be much more definite than that. The poem apparently was already well known in 1096 when, at the Council of Clermont, Pope Urban II made use of it in his appeal to the chivalry of France to follow in the steps of Charlemagne and send an army against Islam. Many of the crusaders who responded to Urban's summons, and many who came later, must have been following an image of themselves which derived, at least in part, from the legendary last battle of the now transfigured Hruodland.

The poem, in its original form, has not survived. Modern knowledge of it is confined to six different versions, whose separate relations to the original are not plain. There is, for instance, a twelfth century German translation by a Bavarian priest named Konrad. There is a Norse translation of the thirteenth century. There is a version in Franco-Italian, in the library of San Marco in Venice, which ends differently from the others. And there are three versions in French. One of them, known as Recension 0, or the Oxford version, has survived in a single copy, Digby Mss 23, at the Bodleian Library, Oxford. It is supposed that it was a jongleur's copy of the poem. It is the oldest of all the versions, the most beautiful, and must have been much the closest to the original. Bedier's famous edition of the poem is based on the Oxford version, which Bedier compares at all points with the others.

CHARLEMAGNE, King of the Franks and Roman Emperor 742-814, created Emperor in 800 by Pope Leo III, had three sons, Pepin, Charles, and Louis I. Charlemagne converted nations to Christianity and encouraged the spread of education. A contemporary, Eginhard, described him as a tall man with a soft voice, a long nose, bright eyes and white hair, wearing a silver - bordered tunic, gartered hose, and a blue cloak, always girt with his sword, the hilt and belt being of gold and silver. He was an active, self-confident man, exercising a great deal to keep fit, fond of pomp and religious ceremonies. He is considered the greatest figure of the Middle Ages and his court at Aachen was a center of learning.

The lineage of Charlemagne, b--2 April, 742, can be traced to Marc Anthony, and from Heli, King of the Britons, 48 B. C. Some of our Md. lines trace back to Charlemagne.
The grandfather of Charlemagne was Charles Martel, King of the Franks, b--690, who m--Lady Bothrude. In 732 he gained a great victory over the Saracens at the Battle of Tours, and for this victory he won the sur-name of "Martel" (the Hammer). He d--741, and his son, Pepin le Bref, b--714, succeeded him. He m--Lady Bertha, and he was the first King to establish Parliaments in France--18 Jan., 757. His second son was Charlemagne, King of the Franks, and Roman Emperor, b--2 April, 742. After his father's death in 768, he jointly reigned over the Franks with his brother, Carlomen, until the latter's death in 772. From that time until his death, he was sole ruler and carried on incessant wars, extending his domains and spreading Christianity, until he had a vast domain, over which he was crowned Roman Emperor in 800 by Pope Leo III, with the Iron Crown of the Western Empire. He m--Princess Hildegarde of Savoy, by whom he had three sons, Pepin, Charles and Louis, and I descend from Pepin and Louis.

There are four lines of descent from him that are best known; the descent of the British people; Through Isabel de Vermandois, from her father, Hugh the Great, son of Henry I, King of France. Through Isabel, from her mother, Adelheid de Vermandois. Through Lady Alice de Courteney, wife of Aymer de Taillefer (dau--of Pierre de Courteney, son of Louis VI, called "le Gros" a descendant of Charlemagne) Aymer de Taillefer and Alice de Courteney, being parents of Isabel de Taillefer, wife of King John of England. Through the Plantagenets and other descendants of Matilda of Flanders, wife of William the Conqueror; she was a descendant of both Alfred the Great and also Charlemagne.

Shoshenq I was the first king of the Twenty-second Dynasty and ruled for twenty-one years. His name first appeared in a long inscription found at Abydos while he was the 'great chief of the Meshwesh, prince of princes.' His father was Nemrat, who was the son of the lady Mehetemwaskhe, died and Shoshenq asked the king at that time to allow a funerary cult to be built at Abydos in his honor. The king must have been the last Psusennes of the Twenty-first Dynasty. Shoshenq's son had married Psusennes' daughter, Makare. It is possible that the transition from the Twenty-first to the Twenty-second Dynasty was a peaceful one. Shoshenq's wife, Karoma, was the mother of Osorkon I who was Shoshenq's successor. Shoshenq did considerable building at home in Egypt. He added a new colonnaded forecourt with a triumphal gate that formed an extension of the hypostyle hall in the Amun temple. No work had been done at Karnak since the end of the Nineteenth Dynasty. He also had a successful campaign against the kingdom of Judah and the kingdom of Israel. His tomb is located at Tanis

Also Duke of Brandenburg, Count of Ulfgau.

The present picture seems to be that Kuno (which name is a short form variant of 'Konrad') is to be identified with Konrad (b.925/30 d.20/8/997) duke of Swabia father of Hermann II. The problem is Richlind. The charter in which she is mentioned is a proven fabrication and that her mention in the GW an invention. Konrad of Swabia had a proven wife, Judith. In the last article by Hlawitschka, he presents a very clever and plausible reconstruction of Judith's ancestry. If he is correct then she was indeed related to the emperor Otto I. According to the reconstruction Judith would be Otto's 1st cousin twice removed. On her mother's side she would be the great granddaughter of one of Otto's paternal uncles (i.e. a brother of king Henry the Fowler). The point seems to be that the GW etc in assigning an alleged daughter of Otto as the wife of Kuno von Oehningen were indicating that Kuno's wife had blood ties with the royal dynasty ('koenigsnahe') and in this these sources were correct. What was mistaken was the name and precise relationship to the dynasty. In any event if Kuno is identical with duke Konrad, he would have had something that even the current Saxon dynasty did not, koenigsnahe with the Carolingians (his mother was one such). Richard Borthwick -- rgbor@CYLLENE.UWA.EDU.AU

Traditional genealogies have him as the son of Udo I (d.949), Count in the Wetterau, son of Gebhard (d.910), Count in the Wetterau, who was brother of Eberhard (d.902/3), Count in the Niederlandgau (q.v.), but the current lineage is different.

He was the strongest of the Marcher Lords involved in constant war with the Welsh and other lords. He was particularly hated by the Welsh for the massacre of three Welsh princes, their families and their men which took place during a feast at his castle of Abergavenny in 1175. He was sometimes known as the "Ogre of Abergavenny". One of the Normans' foremost warriors, he fought alongside King Richard at Chalus in 1199 (where Richard was killed).

William received Limerick in 1201 from King John. He was also given custody of Glamorgan, Monmouth, and Gwynllwg in return for large payments.

William captured Arthur, Count of Brittany at Mirebeau in 1202 and was in charge of his imprisonment for King John. He was rewarded in February 1203 with the grant of Gower. He may have had knowledge of the murder Prince Arthur and been bribed to silence by John with the city of Limerick in July. His honors reached their peak when he was made Sheriff of Herefordshire by John in 1206-7. He had held this office under Richard from 1192-1199.

His fall began almost immediately. William was stripped of his office as bailiff of Glamorgan and other custodies in 1206-7. Later he was deprived of all his lands and, sought by John in Ireland, he returned to Wales and joined the Welsh Prince Llewelyn in rebellion. He fled to France in 1210 via Shoreham "in the habit of a beggar" and died in exile near Paris. Despite intending to be interred at St John's, Brecon, he was buried in the Abbey of St Victorie, Paris by Stephen Langton, the Archbishop of Canterbury, another of John's chief opponents who was also taking refuge there.

His wife and son were murdered by King John-starved to death at Windsor Castle.

William de Braose inherited the large estates of his grandmother, Berta de Gloucester, and besides possessed the Honour of Braose, in Normandy. This feudal lord was a personage of great power and influence during the reigns of Henry II and Richard I, from the former of whom he obtained a grant of the "whole kingdom of Limeric, in Ireland," for the service of sixty knight's fees, to be held of the king and his younger son, John. For several years after this period, he appears to have enjoyed the favour of King John and his power and possessions were augmented by divers grants from the crown. In the 10th of the king's reign [1209], when the kingdom laboured under an interdiction and John deemed it expedient to demand hostages from his barons to ensure their allegiance should the Pope proceed to the length of absolving them from obedience to the crown, his officers who came upon the mission to the Baron de Braose were met by Maud, his wife, and peremptorily informed that she would not entrust any of her children to the king, who had so basely murdered his own nephew, Prince Arthur. de Braose rebuked her for speaking thus, however, and said that if he had in anything offended the king, he was ready to make satisfaction according to the judgment of the court and the barons, his peers, upon an appointed day and at any fixed place without, however, giving hostages. This answer being communicated to the king, an order was immediately transmitted to seize upon the baron's person, but Braose having notice thereof fled with his family into Ireland.

This quarrel between de Braose and King John is, however, differently related by other authorities. The monk of Llanthony stated that King John disinherited and banished him for his cruelty to the Welsh in his war with Gwenwynwyn, and that his wife Maud and William, his son and heir, died prisoners in Corfe Castle. Another writer relates, "that this William de Braose, son of Philip de Braose, Lord of Buelt, held the lands of Brecknock and Went for the whole time of King Henry II, Richard I, and King John without any disturbance until he took to wife the Lady Maud de St. Walerie, who, in revenge of Henry de Hereford, cause divers Welshmen to be murthered in the castle of Bergavenny as they sat at meat; and that for this, and for some other pickt quarrel, King John banished him and all his out of England. Likewise, that in his exile, Maud his wife, with William, galled, Gam, his son, were taken and put into prison where she died the 10th year after her husband fought with Gwenwynwyn and slew three thousand Welch." From these various relations, says Dugdale, it is no easy matter to discover what his demerits were, but what usage he had at last, take here the credit of these two historians who lived near that time. "This year, viz. anno 1240," quoth Matthew of Westminster, "the noble lady Maud, wife of William de Braose, with William, their son and heir, were miserably famished at Windsor by the command of King John; and William, her husband, escaping from Scorham, put himself into the habit of a beggar and, privately getting beyond sea, died soon after at Paris, where he had burial in the abbey of St. Victor." And Matthew Paris, putting his death in anno 1212 (which differs a little in time), says, "That he fled from Ireland to France and, dying at Ebula, his body was carried to Paris and there honourably buried in the abbey of St. Victor." "But after these great troubles in his later days," continues Dugdale, "I shall now say something of his pious works. Being by inheritance from his mother, Lord of Bergavenny, he made great grants to the monks of that priory, conditionally, that the abbot and convent of St. Vincent, in Maine (to which this priory of Bergavenny was a cell) should daily pray for the soul of him, the said William, and the soul of Maud, his wife."

This great but unfortunate personage had issue by his wife, Maud de St. Walerie, I. William; II. Giles: III. Reginald; IV. Sir John; I. Joane; II. Loretta; III. Margaret; IV. Maud.

When the contest between King John and the barons broke out, Giles de Braose, bishop of Hereford, arraying himself under the baronial banner, was put in possession by the people of Bergavenny and the other castles of the deceased lord, and eventually King John, in the last year of his reign, his wrath then being assuaged, granted part of those lands to the bishop's younger brother and heir.

"In 1007 a rich Greenlander, Torfin, determined to emigrate to Vinland, [now New England]. His followers numbered 60, and he was accompanied by his wife, Gudrida, the widow of a previous explorer. Five other women were on board, and the ships were freighted with all kinds of domestic animals, tools and provisions for a permanent colony. Gudrida had been the first female to see the new world, having accompanied her former husband the previous year. The Expedition prospered. The natives came in great numbers and trafficked in furs and produce. Gudrida bore a son, Snorro, the first birth of European parentage in America, who is said to have been an ancestor of the sculptor Thorwaldson. The family remained three years in the colony, but ultimately returned, and Thorfin settled and died in Iceland. The widow made a pilgramage to Rome in her bereavement, and died in a cloister founded by her son in Iceland. Other chiefs went to Vinland, but their history throws no further light upon the colony. They, however, discovered land extending far away to the south-west and inhabited by natives of different caste, of darker color and more vigorous frame. The colony perished at last, destroyed probably like that of Greenland. Traces of it were found by Jesuit missionaries among the Indians Gaspe at the mouth of the St. Lawrence, a tribe which revered the cross before the arrival of the missionaries. Pysical constitution and peculiarities of manners and custom are also cited in confirmation of European descent. Father Charlevoix adds that 'many marks distinguishing them from other American Indians go far to make me believe that they are a colony of Europeans degenerated into savages through destitution.'" ~0860 - ~0955 Bernard Harcourt 95 95 ~0908 - ABT 0936/0945 Adela de Bretagne Nodjmet ~0930 Ertemberge de Brioquibec ~0905 Lancelot de Brioquibec ABT 0942/0959 Wevia de Crepon ~0944 - 1027 Gauthier 83 83 Count of Vexin ~0919 - ~0944 Gautier 25 25 Count of Vexin ~0924 Adele Countess of Vexin ~0944 Alix Senlis ~0262 - 0358 Genebald 96 96 Duke of East Franks

After Earl Simon's [Matilda's 1st husband] death, his Widow married David I of Scotland, who consequently became Earl of Huntingdon too, keeping the Earldom even after he succeeded his brother as King of Scots. He sided with the Empress Maud against Stephen I but came to terms with the latter and made the Earldom over to his son Henry. Henry swore fealty to Stephen but subsequently fought against him under the Scottish banner, which may account for Simon de St Liz's son, another Simon, being recognized as Earl of Huntingdon before Henry's death in 1152.

~1046 - ~1111 Simon de Saint Liz 65 65 Count of Huntington & Northampton ABT 1110 BC - 1064 BC Rameses Pharoah of Egypt (XX Dynasty)

by Jimmy Dunn

Ramesses may be translated as " Re has Fashioned Him", and Ramesses XI's Epithet was Khaemwaset Mereramun Netjerheqaiunu, which means, "Appearing in Thebes, Beloved of Amun, God, Ruler of Heliopolis". His throne name, Menmaatre Setepenptah translates as "The Justice of Re Remains, Chosen of Ptah". We believe that he reigned for some 28 years on the throne of Egypt between 1098  and 1070 BC, though to give him credit as the true king of the Two Lands throughout this period might be an exaggeration. We know little about his family, other than that he had a daughter by the name of Henuttawy.

Ramesses III was the last great pharaoh of Egypt, and there is no question that, by the time of the last Pharaoh of Egypt's 20th Dynasty, Ramesses XI, at the tail end of the New Kingdom, Egypt's glorious empire was well into its twilight years. From the vary beginning of Egypt's history, kings had sent its representatives north into southern Syria to the city of Byblos, for various trade, and they would have normally been accepted as honored visitors and given whatever they required for their Egyptian King. However, we are told just how far Egypt had fallen by this time in the Tale of Wenamun, now preserved in Moscow. When Wenamun was sent by Ramesses XI to Byblos to secure cedar for a new barque of Amun at Thebes, he was robbed on his journey. On arrival in that ancient port, he was required to pay for the wood, that might in an earlier era been given freely, but now had no money for its purchase. Such was the fate of Egypt only one Dynasty past the time of Ramesses the Great, no more than several hundred years before.

It must be noted that, while many generalities about the reign of Ramesses XI are agreed upon by Egyptologists, specifics vary dramatically. There is no question that some, if not much of his reign was marked by a division of control in Egypt between the north and the Theban region south. The crisis that had gripped the Theban region in the previous decades grew worse, with persistent trouble from Libyan attacks that prevented workmen on the West Bank from completing their duties, tomb robberies, famine (the "year of the hyenas"), and even civil war. What is in disagreement, or arguable, is the various parties' alliance, or at least the degree of alliance, to the king in Lower (northern) Egypt. It would seem that repeatedly, individual's who were possibly sent to Thebes by the king to Thebes to establish order instead established themselves as at least de facto rulers of Lower Egypt.

It seems likely that Ramesses XI did not take control of a completely undivided Egypt upon his ascent to the throne after the death of Ramesses X. The previous regimes had witnessed an elevation in the power of the priesthood at Thebes, and as early as the reign of Ramesses IX, a High Priest of Amun named Amenhotep had himself depicted on the same scale as that king on two reliefs at Karnak. Apparently, that priest survived through the reign of Ramesses X and at least up until the twelfth year of Ramesses XI's reign.

At some point prior to that time, Panehsy (Panehesy) who was the viceroy of Nubia, marched north with Nubian troops, possibly at the request of Ramesses XI, to restore order in Thebes. However, whether he did so on behalf of the king or on his own seems questionable due to alter events, which might even indicate that the High Priest, Amenhotep, was perhaps, more under the control of Ramesses IX than might be otherwise evidenced. Apparently, in order to feed his men and perhaps even to help limit the power of the High Priest, Panehsy was either given, or perhaps usurped, the office of "overseer of the granaries". Obviously, this would have certainly brought him into conflict with the priesthood of Amun, for that temple owned the bulk of the land and its produce. This event escalated into a civil war, as, during a period of eight or nine months sometime between years 17 and 19 of Ramesses XI's reign, Paneshy besieged the high priest at the fortified temple of Medinet Habu.

We do not know if the High Priest, Amenhotep, survived this attack, but strangely, he may have appealed to Ramesses XI for protection, which appears to have resulted in an even wider civil war. We are told that Paneshy marched north, reaching as far as Hardai in Middle Egypt, which he sacked. He may have even driven farther north, but his advance was eventually met by the king's army and he was driven back. Paneshy eventually had to retreat to Nubia where he apparently caused trouble for some years before his death.

In the interval, the army of the Pharaoh, under the leadership of a general Piankh, drove on into Thebes, where he too seems to have usurped power from the king. He seems to have taken on the titles of Paneshy and even styled himself as vizier. Whether the former High Priest died in the siege at Medinet Habu or not, after his death, Paneshy also became high priest of Amun. With these high offices, General Piankh began a period of the wehem mesut, or "renaissance", a term used by earlier kings at the beginning of the 12th and 19th Dynasties to indicate that the empire had been reborn after a period of chaos. Now, Theban documents began to be dated by the years of the renaissance rather than that of the King in Piramesses, so we find correspondence between years one and ten of the renaissance and the king's reignal years nineteen through twenty-eight. 

After the death of Piankh, his son-in-law named Herihor took over his offices and assumed control of the south. However, Herihor's rule of southern Egypt was not so much of an usurpation as one of tacit recognition by both he and Ramesses XI of each other's sphere of influence. It was Herihor who had built the temple of Khonsu, dedicated to the moon god son of Amun, which lies just within the southern termenos wall of the Karnak complex. Here, depictions of both Herihor and Ramesses XI were carved at the same scale, though not in the same scenes. Though Herihor's name and titles are depicted in a royal cartouche in the forecourt of this temple, it would seem that there was cooperation between the two. Egyptologists disagree on which of these two men died first, but irregardless, upon the death of Ramesses XI, Smendes came to the throne in the north and the Third Intermediate Period was born, as the glory of the New Kingdom passed into history. 

It should be noted that, while Ramesses XI had a tomb excavated in the Valley of the Kings (KV4) opposite Thebes (modern Luxor) on the West Bank, it was never finished, and apparently it was not used for Ramesses XI's burial. In fact, after having been fully investigated in 1980, many fragments of material relating to earlier royal burials  found in the debris. It would seem that the tomb was put to use as a workshop where some of the royal mummies in the process of being transferred to other hiding places were stripped of any valuables that could be used to bolster the Theban regions ailing economy. Thus far, Ramesses XI's mummy has not been identified.

1013/14. He was a haughty and powerful man - the banner brearer of all
Normandy. He founded the abbey of Conches in 1035. While Duke ROBERT
(RIN 1323) was away on pilgrimage, Roger went to Spain and had a
distinguished career fighting the infidel there. While in Spain, he
married [Etienette of Barcelona according to Cokayne's "Complete
Peerage", but later research, as per below, indicates ADELAIDE OF
BARCELONA], but left her behind when, due to the treachary of some of
the natives, he had to leave Spain. When he returned to Normandy, he was
furious to learn that the boy WILLIAM (RIN 798) has succeeded his father
as Duke, declaring that a bastard ought not rule over him and other
Normans. Roger immediately rebelled, ravaging the lands of his
neighbors - particulary those of HUMPHREY DE VIELLES (RIN 1036).
HUMPHREY's son, ROGER DE BEAUMONT (RIN 1033) killed Roger and two of
his sons in battle in 1038/9.

Thus the following points can be made. Stephanie is a red herring. She
was not daughter of Countess Ermesende, nor was she sister of Ramon
Berenguer. Any chronological argument involving her can be rejected.
Second, since Ermesende was grandmother of Ramon Berenguer, the wife
could not have been both daughter of one and sister of the other. Either
the chronicler was in error, confusing Berenguer Ramon with his son
Ramon Berenguer, or there were two marriages involved, the solution
proposed by Evans. The use by the Todeni of Belvoir family of the name
Berenger de Todeni (also known as Berenger Hispina, a nickname I have
seen elsewhere translated, I don't know how accurately, as "of Spain")
suggested to Evans that this line descended from a Barcelona marriage,
and he proposed that Roger de Toni married Adelaide, daughter of Ramon
Borrell and Ermesende, while a kinsman, married her niece (perhaps
named Stephanie) sister of Ramon Berenguer. (I don't have the reference
handy, so I may have this confused in detail.) Note that any attempt to
number the early Counts of Barcelona or Kings of Navarre will end in
frustration. I have seen three different numbering systems for
Barcelona, and I have seen this Garcia Sanchez called anything from
III-V.

In the time of King Stephen, Richard de Camville was founder of Combe Abbey, co. Warwick, and was one of the witnesses in the 12th of the same reign [1147], to the convention between that monarch and Henry, Duke of Normandy, regarding the succession of the latter to the crown of England. This feudal lord appears to be a person of great power during the whole of King Henry's reign, and after the accession of Richard I, we find him one of the admirals in the expedition made by that monarch into the Holy Land. He was subsequently governor of Cyprus, whence he went without the king's permission to the siege of Acre and there died. His lordship left four sons and a dau., viz.,

Pharoah of Egypt Acceded BET 1184 BC AND 1153 BC

Or is he the son of Prince Nekhtseth (q.v.), son of Setnakht?

This ends the 19th Dynasty.

Most Egyptologists don't consider the 19th and 20th dynasty to be related. The fact that neither Setnakht nor (more surprisingly) Ramses III state a connection is a good point, though hardly conclusive, since the formal Egyptian theory of succession seems to have been based on a revelatory ideal rather than any genealogical principle. But the use of common names (which is elsewhere argued to support a 20/21 dynasty connection), the large numbers of descendants of Ramses II, and the fact that Hori, grandson of crown prince Khaemwese , was vizier under the first two 20th dynasty kings all suggests to me that there was a connection. Settipani proposes a connection through Tiye--Merenese, possibly as a sister of Seti II, which is plausible but again a guess.

The second king of the 20th Dynasty was the son of Sethnakhte and was the last great king of the New Kingdom. Ramesses assumed the throne after his father’s short two year reign. Ramesses fought the Libyans twice during his reign. He compared himself to Mont, the god of war and was confident in his abilities. He overcame an attack by the Sea Peoples in his eighth year as pharaoh. After defeating the Sea People (of which he took many captives) he attacked the Palestinian tribes and was again victorious. Ramesses received tributes from all conquered peoples. Egypt, however, was experiencing financial problems. Workers were striking for pay and there was a general unrest of all social classes. Consequently, an unsuccessful harem revolt led to the deaths of many, including officials and women. During his thirty-one year reign, Ramesses built the vast mortuary complex at Medinet Habu, three shrines at Karnak that were dedicated to the gods Amon, Mut and Khons, and a palace at Leontopolis, just north of Cairo.

Over the some three thousand years of Egyptian history during the Pharaonic Period only a handful of the several hundred who ruled Egypt (or part of Egypt) can be considered truly great kings. Of these, Ramesses III, who was the second ruler of Egypt's 20th Dynasty, was the last of great pharaohs on the throne. His reign was a time of considerable turmoil throughout the Mediterranean that saw the Trojan War, the fall of Mycenae and a great surge of displaced people from all over the region that was to reek havoc; even toppling some empires.

Ramesses was this king's birth name, as it was for most of the 20th Dynasty rulers who appear to have wished to emulate the great Ramesses II of the 19th Dynasty. Ramesses means, "Re has fashioned him" A second (epithet) part of his birth name was heqaiunu, which means "Ruler of Heliopolis" There are any number of ways that Egyptologists spell his birth name, such as "Ramses". His throne name was Usermaatre Meryamun, which means "Powerful is the Justice of Re, Beloved of Amun.

The Family of Ramesses III

Ramesses III's father was his immediate predecessor, a relatively unknown king named Setnakhte. However, though the originator of what Egyptologists refer to as the 20th Dynasty, he may actually have been a grandson of the famous Ramesses II. Ramesses III probably served a short co-regency with him, we believe, because of a rock-chapel near Deir el-Medina that was dedicated to both his father and Ramesses III. Ramesses III's mother was Queen Tiy-merenese. He had a number of wives, including Isis, Titi and Tiy,  as well as a number of sons including the next three rulers of Egypt, Ramesses IV, V and VI. We only know of one possible daughter named Titi. However, despite his apparently long reign lasting some 31 years and 41 days according to the Great Harris Papyrus, little is known about the royal family.

We know that the mother of his wife, Isis, named, Habadjilat, was probably a foreigner, most likely of Asiatic extraction. She was buried in tomb QV51 in the Valley of the Queens, though here name was omitted from the cartouches in the Medinet Habu temple where the queen's name would normally have appeared. However, one of her sons would eventually rule Egypt as Ramesses VI.

Another possible queen of Ramesses III was Queen Titi, who was buried in QV52 in the Valley of the Queens. Though this tomb is large, it lacks any proper indication of her exact royal status. However, her titles suggest that she was possibly a daughter, and later a wife of Ramesses III who probably outlived him. Her title as "Mistress of the Two Lands" appears some 43 times within this tomb, and she is listed as "Chief Royal Wife" 33 times. Other titles include "King's Daughter, "King's Beloved Daughter of his Body",  "His Beloved Daughter" and "King's Sister". She is also called "King's Mother" eight times and her son might have been Ramesses IV.

Ramesses III had as many if not more than ten sons, many of whom predeceased him. A number of them were buried in the Valley of the Queens. These include the tombs of Amenhirkhopshef (QV55), Khaemwaset (QV44), Parahirenemef (QV42) and Sethirkhopshef (QV43). Each of these sons held high positions, as might be expected, prior to their deaths. Apparently devoted to Ramesses II, Ramesses III gave his sons names that followed those of the earlier king's sons. An especially noteworthy example was his son, Khaemwaset C, named for Ramesses II's famous child. Like the earlier Khaemwaset, he took the same office as sem-priest of Ptah at Memphis. However, Khaemwasret C. never achieved the glory of Ramesses II's son, who rose to the position of High Priest. We also know that Amenhirkhopshef, named for Ramesses II's oldest son, and Sethirkhopshef held the office of Master of Horse.

A number of other tombs in the Valley of the Queens, which appear to date from the reign of Ramesses III,  appear to belong to unnamed princes and princesses, though we have virtually no information on these individuals.

The Conspiracy

Another of Ramesses III's queens was Tiy, but in a several noteworthy papyrus from his reign, particularly one known today as the Harem Conspiracy Papyrus, we learn of an assassination attempt upon the king in which she was at least a part of the plot. Her name is provided in the text, but the other conspirators are called by names that indicate the great evil of their crime, such as Mesedsure, meaning "Re hates him". Tiy apparently wished for her son, called in this papyrus, Pentewere, to ascend to the throne of Egypt.

At some point during the latter part of Ramesses III's reign, there were economic problems that became most visible when the Deir el-Medina workmen failed to be paid, leading to a general strike, the first in recorded history, in the 29th year of the king's reign. Against this background was hatched a plot against the king's life. 

This was no simple conspiracy, considering that at least 40 people were implicated and tried as a group. Amongst their numbers were harem officials many of whom were close to the king. Not only had they intended to kill the king, but also to incite a revolt outside of the palace in order to facilitate their coup.

The plot was seemingly hatched in Piramesses where one of the conspirators had a house. The plan called for the murder of the king during the annual Opet Festival at Thebes. Preparations for this included magical spells and wax figurines which were smuggled into the harem. 

This conspiracy is thought to have failed, and the guilty were charged and brought before a court consisting of a panel of fourteen officials including seven royal butlers (a respectably high office), two treasury overseers, two army standard bearers, two scribes and a herald. Ramesses III himself most likely commissioned the prosecution, but according to the language of the papyrus, probably died during the trial, though not necessarily from the effects of the plot. Curiously, this court was given authority to deliver and carry out whatever penalty they deemed fair, including the death penalty, which normally only the king could inflict. It should be noted, however, that scholars are in disagreement over the events of this conspiracy. Some maintain that Ramesses III was in fact killed by the conspirators, and that his son, Ramesses IV, set up the tribunal, but others maintain that the mummy of the king shows no acts of violence.

All of those involved in the plot were apparently condemned to death, as was certainly the fate of Queen Tiy herself. Though the record of the actual trial is lost, there were apparently three different prosecutions. The first consisted of twenty eight people, who included the major ringleaders, who were found guilty and (almost certainly) put to death. In the next prosecution six people were condemned and forced to commit suicide within the court itself. In the final trial, four additional individuals, including the son of Queen Tiy, were likewise condemned to suicide, though they were presumably allowed to carry out the act in their prison.

Interestingly, there was also a fourth trial, but this one did not involve the actual conspirators, but instead three of the judges and two officers. It would seem that the curious affair resulted from accusations that, after their appointment to the conspiracy commission, they knowingly entertained several of the women involved in the plot, as well as consorted with a general referred to as Peyes. Though one of the judges was found innocent, the remainder of the group was condemned to have their ears and noses amputated. One of the judges called Pebes committed suicide before the sentence could be carried out.

The Military Affairs

Ramesses III's reign began quietly enough as he attempted to consolidate his empire begun by his father after problems arose in the late 19th Dynasty. Nubia seems at this time to have been nothing more than a subdued colony to the south. However, in his fifth year as ruler, Egypt was attacked by Libyans for apparently the first time since Merenptah had to deal with them in the 19th Dynasty. The Libyan invasion forces included two other groups of people known as the Mshwesh and the Seped. Ramesses III easily dealt with this threat, annihilating many, and making slaves of the rest. Though the Libyan population of the western Delta continued to increase by peaceful infiltration (as they had actually done before the invasion), and would later form the basis for a line of kings that would ultimately rule Egypt, for a time at least, this firm action kept other enemies at bay.

By his eighth year as ruler, Ramesses III had to contend with a force of such great magnitude, that it destroyed at least the Hittite empire, and devastated the entire region, though we really do not know of its source. We read that:

    "The foreign countries conspired in their islands, and the lands were dislodged and scattered in battle together; no land could stand before their arms: the land of the Hittites, Qode, Carchemesh, Arzawa and Cyprus were wasted, and they set up a camp in southern Syria. They desolated its people and made its land as if non-existent. They bore fore before them as they came forward towards Egypt."

Indeed, Cyprus had been overwhelmed and its capital, Enkomi, ransacked. They destroyed the Hittite capital, Hattusas, as well as many other empires. They conquered Tarsus and then settled on the plains of Cilicia in northern Syria, razing Alalakh and Ugarit to the ground.

This upheaval was caused by a group of people collectively known as the Sea People, who were displaced from their homes by events that are as of yet unknown to us. However, this apparently took place over an extended period of time, and involved massive numbers of humans, consisting of the Peleset (Philistines), Tjeker, Shekelesh (possibly Sikels from Sicily), Weshesh and the Denyen or Dardany, who could have been the Danaoi of Homer's Iliad.  The invasion of these people into various regions of the Middle East apparently came in waves, as a number of Ramesses III's predecessors (perhaps most notably Merenptah) had to deal with similar bands of people.

Ramesses III had his fight against the Sea People documented on the outer wall of the Second Pylon, north side, of his mortuary temple at Medinet Habu. It is the longest hieroglyphic inscription known to us. On the outer north wall of the temple proper he had carved the illustrations of the battle. After having stayed for a time in Syria, the Sea People apparently traveled over land to the Egyptian border. This was not simply a military campaign. The Sea People had with them their women and children, together with their possessions piled high on ox-carts. They also employed a sea fleet that apparently stayed in tract with those on land. Their intention was to settle in Egypt.

Ramesses reacted swiftly to this threat, and in doing so, saved Egypt from the fate that would befall other empires, at least for a while. He dispatched squads of soldiers at once to the eastern Egyptian frontier at Djahy (southern Palestine, perhaps the Egyptian garrison in the Gaza strip) with orders to stand firm at any cost until the main Egyptian army arrived. Once deployed, the Egyptian army then had little problem in slaying these enemies, as was depicted in the reliefs at Medinet Habu. However, there was still the sea fleet to consider.

Egypt was never particularly known for their navy, which was made up principally of infantry, including archers, who were given special marine training. Yet they hated the sea, known as wdj wr, the "Great Green", as they called the Mediterranean. However, as the Sea Peoples' fleet headed for the mouth of one of the eastern arms of the Nile, they were indeed met by the Egyptian fleet. In an inspired tactical maneuver, the Egyptian fleet worked the Sea Peoples' boats towards shore, where land based Egyptian archers were waiting to pour volley after volley of arrows into the enemy ships, while the Egyptian marine archers, calmly standing on the decks of their ships, fired in unison. As the Egyptian ships threw grappling hooks into the Sea People's vessels, by the grace of the god Amun, the enemies fell dead into the water from the onslaught of the combined Egyptian forces. In fact, this victory provided considerable respect for the priesthood of Amun at Thebes. We have no documentation of any pursuit of the fleeing Sea People as they returned to the Levant, but it is reasonable that there was such a campaign.

Hence, for some three years, all was well and Egypt was for the most part at peace. Then, after a gradual infiltration by immigrants into the area west of the Canopic arm of the Nile from Egypt's western border, the Libyans, together with the Meshwesh and five other tribes, launched another full scale invasion during Ramesses III's eleventh year as ruler. Once again, Ramesses III countered the attack, crushing these opponents as well. Apparently some 2,000 of the enemy dead were left on the killing fields, while the captured leaders were executed. The booty of the enemy captured during the battle, consisting of  cattle and other possession's were sent south to the treasury of Amun. The details of this battle are found on the inner, north wall of the First Pylon at Medinet Habu.

There were apparently other campaigns during the reign of Ramesses III, as recorded on the walls of his mortuary temple, though some of these scenes are questionable. Many of these depictions record events that probably took place in bygone years, a common practice of many kings in order to elevate their reputations. In fact, some of these scenes from Medinet Habu clearly seem to be copies of earlier battles fought by his illustrious predecessor, Ramesses II.

However, it does seem that there were some other minor conflicts, particularly from the desert around the latitude of Thebes, but these were rather minor in nature.

Non-Military Actions

Ramesses III established a number of foreign contacts for trade, most notably with its old trading partner, Punt. This may have been Egypt's first contact with that land since the famous ventures in the days of Hatshepsut of the 18th Dynasty. He also seems to have sent an expedition to Atika, where the copper mines of Timna were located.

The king is well known for his domestic building program, a consolidation of law and order (as well as a tree-planting program). The end of the 19th Dynasty saw considerable corruption and various abuses, and Ramesses III was forced to inspect and reorganize the various temples throughout the country. The Great Harris Papyrus provides that Ramesses III made huge donations of land to the most important temples in Thebes, Memphis and Heliopolis. In fact, by the end of his reign, a third of the cultivatable land belonged to the temples and of this, three quarters belonged to the temple of Amun at Thebes. Though Ramesses III's foremost construct was his mortuary temple at Medinet Habu, which was finished in about the 12th year of his reign, at Karnak he provided numerous relief decorations and two new, small temples including one dedicated to Khonsu, the moon god. Additional building work was carried out in a number of centers, including Piramesses (or Pi-Ramesses, modern Qantir), Athribis (Tell Atrib), Heliopolis, Memphis, Hermopolis (Ashmunein), Syut (Greek Lycopolis, modern Asyut), Abydos and Edfu.

For many generations, Egypt had two viziers, one governing Upper Egypt and anther official who oversaw Lower Egypt. Apparently there was a problem; perhaps even a rebellion involving the unnamed Lower Egyptian vizier and so Ramesses III unified this high office under a single person named To (Ta).

The Death of Ramesses III

While we know that Ramesses III likely died during the trial of the harem conspirators, we really do not know how he died, though some scholars believe it was at the hands of the conspirators while others believe it was not related to the plot. Irregardless, his death signaled the coming end of the New Kingdom, and even the lofty position that Egypt held on the world stage. He was buried in a large tomb (KV11) in the Valley of the Kings on the West Bank at ancient Thebes (modern Luxor). His is most famous for having some secular scenes that were unusual among royal tombs, including a painting of two blind male harpists. Hence, though sometimes called "Bruce's Tomb after its discoverer, James Bruce in 1769, in literature it is more well known as "The Tomb of the Harper". Presumably, he was succeeded by his son, Ramesses IV in about the year 1151 BC.

========

pharaoh of Egypt (reigned 1187–56 BC), who defended his country against foreign invasion in three great wars, thus ensuring tranquillity during much of his reign. In his final years, however, he faced internal disturbances and an attempted coup d'état.

Son of Setnakht (reigned 1190–87 BC), founder of the 20th dynasty, Ramses found Egypt upon his accession only recently recovered from the civil wars that had plagued the land at the end of the previous dynasty. In the fifth year of his reign, a coalition of Libyan tribes invaded the western Nile delta on the pretext that the pharaoh had interfered in their chief's succession. The Libyans had, in fact, encroached upon Egyptian lands, a perennial problem during the 19th and 20th dynasties, and were soundly defeated in a battle in the western delta.

After two years of peace, another, more dangerous coalition, the Sea Peoples, a conglomeration of migrating peoples from Asia Minor and the Mediterranean islands, who had previously destroyed the powerful Hittite Empire in Asia Minor and devastated Syria, advanced against Egypt by land and by sea. Ramses' land army checked the enemy's advance in Palestine, and the hostile ships were trapped after being lured into the numerous and intricate waterways of the delta. Egypt averted conquest by the northerners, but two of the invading peoples settled on the coast of Palestine, between Gaza and Mount Carmel. The attempted invasion ended Egyptian pretensions to a Syro-Palestinian empire.

Two more years of peace ensued, but in Ramses' 11th year a new coalition of Libyan tribes infiltrated the western delta. Compelled to wage yet another war, he defeated the Libyans after capturing their chief.

After this final conflict, Ramses was able to reorganize Egyptian society into classes grouped by occupation and to finish his great funerary temple, palace, and town complex at Madinat Habu, in western Thebes. He also built additions at Karnak, the great Theban temple complex.

Ramses encouraged trade and industry, dispatching a seaborne trading expedition to Punt, a land on the Somali coast of Africa, and exploiting the copper mines at Sinai and probably also the gold mines of Nubia, Egypt's province to the south.

After a prosperous middle reign, administrative difficulties and conspiracy troubled Ramses' last years. About the year 28 of the king's reign the vizier of Lower Egypt was ousted because of corruption. A year later the workers employed on the royal tombs at Thebes went on strike because of delay in the delivery of their monthly rations. Only the intervention of the Upper Egyptian vizier, who had assumed responsibility for the whole country, ended the work stoppage.

Toward the end of Ramses' reign, one of his secondary wives, seeking to place her son on the throne, plotted to assassinate the king. The plan was somehow betrayed and probably foiled, as the plotters were successfully brought to trial. The king may have died as a result of the plot, or soon afterward; but documents contain no information about the year of the conspiracy, and the king's mummy displays no wounds. Ramses died at Thebes in the 32nd year of his reign and was succeeded by the crown prince Ramses IV. Source: Encyclopedia Britannica.

Horus name: Kanakht Werpehti
Nebty name: Tutkhaumitatjenen
Golden Falcon name: Sekhemkhepeshder(kher)uef
Prenomen: Userkhaure-setepenre
Nomen: Setnakht

Setnakhte was the first king of Egypt's  20th Dynasty, the last dynasty of the New Kingdom. This is the king's birth name that, together with his epithet, mereramunre, means "Victorious is Set, Beloved of Amun Re". He is sometimes also known as Setnakht and Sethnakht. His throne name was Userkhaure Setepenre, meaning "Powerful are the Manifestations of Re, Chosen by Re".

The cloud that surrounds the end of the 19th Dynasty swirls about a character known as Bay. He was a chancellor who has been referred to as the "kingmaker", for he made the claim that it was he who "established the king on the throne of his father", referring to Siptah. Indeed, he probably assisted Tausert as she ruled Egypt in the name of her stepson, Siptah. In fact, as Tausert eventually took on the full regalia of rulership after Siptah's death, it is certainly possible that Bay may have effectively ruled Egypt. Originally a scribe to Seti II, we believe that he could have been of foreign blood, perhaps Syrian.

After the death of Tausert, Chancellor Bay may have even ruled Egypt for a brief period, for many Egyptologists believe that it was he who is referred to in the Papyrus Harris I as Iarsu (Irsu):

    "The land of Egypt was overthrown from without and every man was thrown out of his right; they had no chief for many years formerly until other times. The land of Egypt was in the hands of chiefs and of rulers of towns; one slew his neighbor great and small. Other times having come after it, with empty years, Iarsu, a certain Syrian was with them as chief. He set the whole land tributary before him together; he united his companions and plundered their possessions. They made the gods like men and no offerings were presented in the temples."

Actually, the name Iarsu has the meaning, "self-made man", which would have been a derogatory way of referring to him as an usurper of the throne, and irregardless of whether Chancellor bay is one and the same as Iarsu, he had an evil reputation. However, it is interesting that he was apparently allowed a burial in the Valley of the Kings, (KV13). One way or the other though, is is very clear that Egypt suffered some amount of turmoil at the end of the 19th Dynasty.

It was Setnakhte, who ended the confusion and reestablished ma'at in the Two Lands, though we know very little about him. Almost all of our information about the king is either from the Papyrus Harris I, which was written some 65 years after his death, or from a stela he had erected on the island of Elephantine dated to the second year of his reign (though it may have been the first year he was in complete control of Egypt after having settled the earlier confusion).

In fact, we really have no information about how Setnakhte came to the throne, though it has been suggested that he may have been a grandson of the great king, Ramesses II. That may have been reason enough, considering that every other king of the 20th Dynasty took Ramesses as part of their names, wishing to emulate the success of their notable predecessor.  However, whether he was Ramesses II's grandson or not, judging by his birth name (Setnakhte), which makes reference to Seth who was revered by the 19th Dynasty kings, there must surely have been some family connection with that earlier period.

The last four pages of the Papyrus Harris I tell us that Senakhte rose to power and put down the rebellions fermented by Asiatics, telling us that it was he would relieved the besieged cities of Egypt, bought back those who had gone into hiding and reopened the temples and restored their revenue. His stela at Elephantine also relates that he expelled rebels who, on their flight, left behind the gold, silver and copper they had stolen from Egypt, and with which they had intended to hire reinforcements among the Asiatics.

In reality, the dynastic change between the 19th and 20th Dynasties may not have been as much of a problem as the Papyrus Harris makes out. Setnakhte seems to have kept Hori son of Kama in office as Viceroy of Kush (a kingdom in Nubia), who was originally appointed to that position during the reign of Siptah. Another Hori, who was a vizier, was also apparently allowed to remain in office.

Setnakhte's reign was short, perhaps only two or three years and he may have come to the throne fairly late in life. He was the father of Egypt's last great Egyptian King, Ramesses III by his wife, Tiymerenese. Ramesses III may have held a short co-regency with his father.

Upon his death, Setnakhte was buried with full royal honors. According to the Papyrus Harris I, "he was rowed in his king's barge upon the river (crossed the Nile to the west bank), and rested in his eternal house west of Thebes". Though we are not sure of the actual reason, he was buried in the tomb that was originally excavated for Queen Twosret (KV14) on the West bank at Thebes (modern Luxor) in the Valley of the Kings. He may have usurped this tomb himself because the tomb that he had originally begun to construct for himself, KV11, had been abandoned after workers excavating it broke through into the adjacent tomb of Ameenmesses (KV10). Another possibility is that his son, Ramesses III, usurped KV14 for his father, with the intention of realigning and finishing KV11, where he was buried, for himself.

Alas, Setnakhte's body was not discovered in KV14, but his coffin was found during 1898 in the royal cache in the tomb of Amenhotep II (KV35). It is possible that his body was that of an unwrapped and unidentified man discovered on a wooden boat in that tomb.

  Ramses II (r. 1304-1237 BC) is remembered for his military campaigns and his extensive building program, the remains of which are still conspicuous. Ramses, like his father Seti I, pursued a vigorous foreign policy by attacking the Hittites, the chief opponents of the Egyptian empire in the East. His first campaigns against them (1300-1299 BC) ended in an Egyptian retreat after a violent battle at Kadesh in Syria, during which Ramses narrowly escaped capture mainly thanks to the intervention of a troop contingent from Amurru. The consequent loss of prestige sparked revolts within the empire, and Ramses could not resume direct hostilities against the Hittites until 1294; the conflicts were finally concluded by a peace treaty in 1283.

    He also fought in Trans-Jordan and Nubia and secured the western coast road of Egypt against Libyan invaders by building fortresses along the Mediterranean coast as far as 300 km west of the Delta.
    Ramses was responsible for building many large temples, most notably that at Abu Simbel in Nubia. He also founded a new royal capital at Per-Ramesse ("the house of Ramses") in the eastern Nile delta. During his long reign, Ramses had more than 100 children, and by his death in 1237, he had outlived 11 sons.

Rameses II (19th dynasty), son of Seti I, was around thirty years old when he became king of Egypt - and then reigned for 67 years. He had many wives, among them some of his own near relatives, and was the father of about 111 sons and 51 daughters.

As was usual in those days, the threat of foreign aggression against Egypt was always at its greatest on the ascension of a new Pharaoh. Subject kings no doubt saw it as their duty to test the resolve of a new king in Egypt. Likewise, it was incumbent on the new Pharaoh it make a display of force if he was to keep the peace during his reign. Therefore, in his fourth year as pharaoh, Rameses was fighting in Syria in a series of campaigns against the Hittites and their allies. The Hittites, however, were a very strong foe and the war lasted for twenty years.

On the second campaign, Rameses found himself in some difficulties when attacking "the deceitful city of Kadesh". This action nearly cost him his life. He had divided his army into four sections: the Amon, Ra, Ptah and Setekh divisions. Rameses himself was in the van, leading the Amon division with the Ra division about a mile and a half behind. He had decided to camp outside the city - but unknown to him, the Hittite army was hidden and waiting. They attacked and routed the Ra division as it was crossing a ford. With the chariots of the Hittites in pursuit, Ra fled in disorder - spreading panic as they went. They ran straight into the unsuspecting Amon division. With half his army in flight, Rameses found himself alone. With only his bodyguard to assist him, he was surrounded by two thousand five hundred Hittite chariots.

The king, realising his desperate position, charged the enemy with his small band of men. He cut his way through, slaying large numbers as he escaped. "I was," said Rameses, "by myself, for my soldiers and my horsemen had forsaken me, and not one of them was bold enough to come to my aid."

At this point, the Hittites stopped to plunder the Egyptian camp - giving the Egyptians time to regroup with their other two divisions. They then fought for four hours, at the end of which time both sides were exhausted and Rameses was able to withdraw his troops.

In the end neither side was victorious. And finally - after many years of war - Rameses was obliged to make a treaty with the prince of the Hittites. It was agreed that Egypt was not to invade Hittite territory, and likewise the Hittites were not to invade Egyptian territory. They also agreed on a defence alliance to deter common enemies, mutual help in suppressing rebellions in Syria, and an extradition treaty.

Thirteen years after the conclusion of this treaty in the thirty-fourth year of his reign, Rameses married the daughter of the Hittite prince. Her Egyptian name was Ueret-ma-a-neferu-Ra: meaning " Great One who sees the Beauties of Ra".
Abu Simbel

Although brave in battle, Rameses was an inept general - and I wonder how Thutmose III would have dealt with the Hittites. Maybe Rameses also pondered this because he spent the rest of his life bolstering his image with huge building projects. His name is found everywhere on monuments and buildings in Egypt and he frequently usurped the works of his predecessors and inscribed his own name on statues which do not represent him. The smallest repair of a sanctuary was sufficient excuse for him to have his name inscribed on every prominent part of the building. His greatest works were the rock-hewn temple of Abu Simbel, dedicated to Amon, Ra-Harmachis, and Ptah; its length is 185 feet, its height 90 feet, and the four colossal statues of the king in front of it - cut from the living rock - are 60 feet high. He also added to the temple of Amenhotep III at Luxor and completed the hall of columns at Karnak - still the largest columned room of any building in the world.

Although he is probably the most famous king in Egyptian history, his actual deeds and achievements cannot be compared with the great kings of the 18th dynasty. He is, in my opinion, unworthy of the title 'Great'. A show-off and propagandist, he made his mark by having his name, like a graffiti artist, inscribed on every possible stone. Whereas kings such as Thutmose III left a stronger and more dynamic Egypt, after Rameses death Egypt fell into decline. Luckily for Egypt, her prestige and pre-eminence as a world superpower was such that this process took a long time. Only one other king, Rameses III (1184 - 1153 BC), was able to temporarily halt this process.

Seti I was the father of perhaps Egypt's greatest rulers,  Ramesses II, and was in his own right also a great leader.  His birth name is Seti Mery-en-ptah, meaning "He of the god Seth, beloved of Ptah.  To the Greeks, he was Sethos I, and his throne name was Men-maat-re, meaning "Eternal is the Justice of Re".  He ruled Egypt for 13 years (though some Egyptologists differ on this matter, giving him a reign of between 15 and 20 years) from 1291 through 1278 BC. In order to rectify the instability under the Amarna kings, he early on set a policy of major building at home and a committed foreign policy.

Seti was the son of Ramesses I and his queen, Sitre. He probably ruled as co-regent, evidenced by an inscription on a statue from Medamud. Seti married into his own military caste. His first wife was Tuya, who was the daughter of a lieutenant of charioteers. His first son died young, but his second son was Ramesses II.  There was also a daughter, Tia, and a second daughter named Henutmire, who would become a minor queen of Ramesses II.

This was truly a great period in Egypt, and perhaps the greatest in regards to art and culture. In the building projects that Seti I undertook, the quality of the reliefs and other designs were probably never surpassed by later rulers.  He is responsible for beginning the great Hypostyle Hall in the Temple of Amun at Karnak, which his son Ramesses II later finished.  Seti's reliefs are on the north side and their fine style is evident when compared to later additions. 

However, at Abydos, he built perhaps the most remarkable temple ever constructed in Egypt.  It has seven sanctuaries, dedicated to himself, Ptah, Re-Harakhte, Amun-Re, Osiris, Isis and Horus.  Interestingly, in this temple a part called the Hall of Records or sometimes the Gallery of Lists, Seti is shown with his son before a long official list of the pharaohs beginning with the earliest times.  However, the names of the Amarna pharaohs are omitted, as if they never existed, and the list jumps from Amenhotep III directly to Horemheb. 

Behind the temple at Abydos Seti build another remarkable structure known as the Osireion.  Completely underground, originally a long tunnel decorated with painted scenes from the Book of Gates led to a huge hall.  This whole structure with a central mound surrounded by canal water was symbolic of the origins of life from the primeval waters.  It was here that Seti rested after his death and before being taken to his tomb in the Valley of the Kings.

Other building projects included a small temple at Abydos dedicated to Seti's father, Ramesses I, his own mortuary temple at Thebes, and his best building project of all, his tomb in the Valley of the Kings.  This tomb, one of the few actually completed, was without doubt the finest in the Valley of the Kings, as well as the longest and deepest. 

Militarily, Seti let an expedition to Syria as early as his first year as king.  This was probably understandable, as he had also led campaigns to Palestine during the last months of his father, Ramesses I's rule. This, and other campaign during his first six years of rule are documented on the outer north and east wall of the great temple of Amun at Karnak. There is also a stele from Beth-Shan, for some time a major Egyptian center in Palestine, that records his early  campaign.  The attack was up the coast of Gaza, where he secured wells along the main trade route, and then taking the town, before pressing on further north.  He took the area up to Tyre before returning to the fortress of Tjel in the north east Delta.

There was a latter attack on Syria and Lebanon where he (and the Egyptians) fought the Hittites for the first time.  One scene at Karnak shows the capture of Kadesh, which would also be attacked later by Ramesses II.  He also fought campaigns against the Libyans of the western desert. We further learn that in year eight of Seti's reign, he had to crush a rebellion in Nubia in the region of Irem, where he carried off over six hundred prisoners.  However, apparently this was a minor problem as the campaign only lasted for seven days.

Seti's mummy is said to be the finest of all surviving royal mummies, though it was not found in his tomb.  Rather, it was found in the Deir el-Bahari cache in 1881.  Dockets on the mummy show that it had been restored during the reign of the High Priest of Amun, Heribor (1080-1074 BC) and again in year 15 of Smendes (about 1054 BC).

Ramses I, founder of the 19th dynasty of Egyptian pharaohs, reigned for little more than a year, between 1320 and 1318 BC. Apparently chosen for succession by the last pharaoh of the 18th dynasty, Horemheb, in whose army he had been a commander, Ramses planned and started to build the colonnaded hall in the temple at Karnak.

Ramses I was of royal blood.  His father and mother was Seti (Setymeramen) and Ankhesenpaaten II (Heiress) of Egypt.

His father Seti (not to be confused with Seti 1) was a military commander whose father was Horemheb 14th king of dynasty 18 (not royal blood).

The throne was past down to Ramses I from his mother Ankhesenpaaten II who was the daughter of Akhenaton, 10th king of dynasty 18.

King Akhenaton was the son of Queen Tiye, And his son was King Tutankhamun, 12th king of dynasty 18.

ABT 1420 BC - 1348 BC Amenhotep Pharoah of Egypt (XVIII Dynasty)

The ninth king of the 18th dynasty was the son of Thutmose IV and Queen Mutemwiya. He married Tiy, daughter of Yuya, who was a chancellor of the north and was a priest of Hermonthis and Amon. His reign was characterized by little on the battle ground, but great diplomatic achievements and economical growth, which brought Egypt to its highest power in ancient times. His diplomatic correspondence, especially with Mitanni and Babylonia, is preserved, in the Amarna tablets, consisting of 400 clay tablets found in Tellu l-Amarna in 1887.

Egypt was enjoying a peaceful time during Amenhotep’s reign, thus allowing him to concentrate on more artistic renewals. He married daughters of foreign kings, including a Mitanni princess and one from Babylon. This solidified his international standings. During his reign he enlarged many temples. He built Malkata on the western shore of Thebes, south of Medinet Habu. This complex was a miniature city with offices, houses, chambers, chapels and apartments. Close to Malkata he built a lake for his queen. Next to the lake he built a palace for his harem and a palace for Queen Tiy. He built the famous Colossi of Memnon and is accredited with building the Temple of Luxor. Amenhotep spent years improving Karnak, by adding temples and a row of sphinxes that linked it to the temple of Amon at Luxor. Amenhotep died in his mid fifties. His heir was the infamous Akhenaten.

Amenhotep II already had experience in a ruling capacity when he became pharaoh thanks to the 'co-pharaohship' that he enjoyed during his father's rule. According to the stories of his day, Amenhotep was a Muscleman who enjoyed boasting of his victories, whether in sport or warfare.

Amenhotep followed in his famous father's footsteps and invaded the rebellious northern territories. During an attack in Syria he committed an extremely cruel deed "to teach the inhabitants of that country a lesson". Countless campaigns against rebellious leaders followed (the north remained a troublesome spot) in which he, like his father, recorded many victories. The wars slowly came to an end and Amenhotep succeeded in binging peace to Egypt once again.

The rest of his life was dedicated to peaceful building activities, largely in the provinces much as he father had also done

Pharoah of Egypt Acceded BET 1479 BC AND 1425

For different reasons, to different people, Egypt's 18th Dynasty is probably one of Egypt's most interesting periods. For the general public, This was the Dynasty of Tutankhamun, probably the best known, though certainly not the most powerful pharaoh of all time. To others, Akhenaten, the heretic king, will provide an everlasting curiosity. Closer to the beginning of this Dynasty, Hatshepsut ruled as perhaps the most powerful of all Egyptian queens, even though she often disguised and promoted herself though inscriptions as a man, and even though her predecessor, Tuthmosis II named his young son to succeed him upon his death. But upon Tuthmosis' death, his son, Tuthmosis III was still a young child, so there was little choice but for his stepmother and aunt Hatshepsut to initially act as his regent. His birth name was probably Djehutymes III in Egyptian, but he is frequently referred to by his Greek name of Tuthmosis (Born of the god Thoth). He is also known as Thutmose III, Thutmosis, and his Throne name was Men-kheper-re (Lasting is the Manifestation of Re).
By the second year of the young king's rule, Hatshepsut had usurped her stepson's position and so inscriptions and other art began to show her with all the regalia of kingship, even down to the official royal false beard. Yet, at the same time, she did little to really diminish Tuthmosis' rule, dating her own rule by his regnal years, and representing him frequently upon her monuments.

It is likely that Tuthmosis III, was lucky to have survived her rule, though there is some debate on this issue. He obviously stayed well in the background, and perhaps even demonstrated some amount of cunning in order to simply keep his life. Because of the prowess he would later demonstrate on the battlefield, we assume he probably spent much of Hatshepsut's rule in a military position. To an extent, they did rule together, he in a foreign military position, and her taking care of the homeland. When Hatshepsut finally died, outliving her powerful ministers, Tuthmosis III was at last able to truly inherit the thrown of Egypt, and in doing so, proved to be a very able ruler.

Interestingly, it was not until the last years of his reign that he demonstrated what must have been some anger with his stepmother by destroying as much of her memory as possible. Her images were expunged from monuments throughout Egypt. This is obvious to most visitors of Egypt because one of the most effected monuments was her temple at Deir el-Bahari, today a primary tourist site. There, Tuthmosis III destroyed her reliefs and smashed numerous statues into a quarry just in front of the temple. He even went so far as to attack the tombs of her courtiers. Yet if this was over the frustration of his youth when she ruled, why did he wait until such a late date to begin the destruction?

Military Exploits

In any event, Tuthmosis III became a great pharaoh in his own right, and has been referred to as the Napoleon of ancient Egypt (by the Egyptologists, James Henry Breasted). But perhaps is reputation is due to the fact that his battles were recorded in great detail by the archivist, royal scribe and army commander, Thanuny. The battles were recorded on the inside walls surrounding the granite sanctuary at Karnak, and inscriptions on Thanuny's tomb on the west bank state that, "I recorded the victories he won in every land, putting them into writing according to the facts". Referred to as the Annals, the inscriptions were done during Tuthmosis' 42nd year as pharaoh, and describe both the battles and the booty that was taken. These events were recorded at Karnak because Tuthmosis's army marched under the banner of the god, Amun, and Amun's temples and estates would largely be the beneficiary of the spoils of Tuthmosis' wars.

Having close ties with his military, Tuthmosis undoubtedly received sage advice from his commanders. It was probably decided that the Levant offered the greatest potential for glory and wealth if the trade routes dominated by Syrian, Cypriot, Palestinian and Aegean rulers could be taken.

Tuthmosis III fought with considerable nerve and cunning. On one campaign, he marched to Gaza in ten days and from Yehem, planned the battle to take take Megiddo which was held by a rebellious prince named Kadesh. There were three possible approaches to Megiddo, two of which were fairly open, straightforward routes while the third was through a narrow pass that soldiers would only be able to march through in single file.

Though he was advised against this dangerous pass by his commanders, Tuthmosis not only took this dangerous route, but actually led the troops through. Whether by luck, or gifted intuition this gamble paid off, for when he emerged from the tight canyon, he saw that his enemies had arranged their armies to defend the easier routes. In fact, he emerged between the north and south wings of the enemy's armies, and the next day decisively beat them in battle. It apparently took a long siege (seven months) to take the city of Megiddo, but the rewards were great. The spoils were considerable, and included 894 chariots, including two covered with gold, 200 suites of armor including two of bronze, as well as over 2,000 horses and 25,000 other animals.

Tuthmosis III had marched from Thebes up the Syrian coast fighting decisive battles, capturing three cities, and then returned back to Thebes. Over the next 18 years, his armies would march against Syria every summer and by the end of that period, he established Egyptian dominance over Palestine. At Karnak he records the capture of 350 cities, and in the 42nd year of his rule, Kadesh itself was finally taken.

He also made campaigns into Nubia where he built temples at Amada and Semna and restored Senusret III's old canal in his 50th year of rule so that his armies could easily pass on their return to Egypt.

Queens and Vassals

Tuthmosis' main queen was Hatshepsut-Merytre, who survived him and lived as Queen Mother into the reign of her son. However, he also had several minor queens, some of whom had been acquired due to diplomatic exchanges. We know the names of three such minor queens, Menhet, Menwi and Merti from the discovery of their tomb west of Deir el-Bahri. He also took a number of foreign prices hostage, who then received training and indoctrination in Egyptian ways. They would later be returned to their homeland as obedient vassals of Egypt.

Building Projects

Tuthmosis is well attested in many parts of Egypt and outside of Egypt. We find blocks deep within Nubia at Gebel Barkal, and also at Sai, Pnubs at the third cataract, Uronarti, Buhen, Quban, Faras and Ellesiya, as well as his temples at Amada and Semna. He also built a temple dedicated to the goddess Satet at Elephantine, as well as projects at Kom Ombo, Edfu, El-Kab, Tod, Armant, Akhmim, Hermopolis and Heliopolis. From a list of one of Tuthmosis' overseers, we also know of projects at Asyut, Atfish and various locations in the delta.

Tuthmosis III built his own temple near Hatshepsut's on a ledge between her temple and that of Mentuhotep. His small temple was excavated recently by a polish mission. The excavation revealed stunningly fresh reliefs, perhaps because a rock fall from the cliffs above covered the temple shortly after its completion. Close by, Tuthmosis built a rock cut sanctuary to the goddess Hathor. This monument was accidentally discovered by a Swiss team when a rock fall exposed its opening. Apparently, the shrine was in use up to the Ramesside period, when it was destroyed by an earthquake.

But of the many monuments associated with Tuthmosis III, none faired better then the temple of Karnak. Wall reliefs near the sanctuary record the many gifts of gold jewelry, furniture, rich oils and other gifts offered to the temple,. mostly from the spoils of war, by Tuthmosis III. He was responsible for the Sixth and Seventh Pylons at Karnak, as well as considerable reconstruction within the central areas of the temple. He erected two obelisks at the temple, one of which survives at the Hippodrom at Istanbul. There is also a great, black granite Victory Stele embellishing his military victories.

He also built a new and very unique temple at Karnak that is today referred to as his Festival Hall. The columns are believed to represent the poles of the king's campaign tent. In the rear is a a small room with representations of animals and plants bought back from Syria during the 25th year of his reign. For obvious reasons, this room is referred to as the Botanical Garden.

The opulence of his reign is also reflected in the quality tombs built by his high officials. The tome of his vizier, Rekhmire is notable, with many scenes of daily life, crafts as well as a long inscription concerning the office of vizier. However, the presence of a military elite is also attested by no less then eleven Theban tombs from the reign of Tuthmosis.


Tuthmosis III, we believe ruled Egypt from 1504 BC until his death in 1450 BC. He was buried in tomb KV 34 in the Valley of the kings. The tomb was halfway up a cliff face, and after his burial, masons destroyed the stone stairway leading up to it and concealed the tomb's entrance. However, it would seem that no matter what initiatives pharaohs took to protect their tombs, robbers were sure to find them. Indeed, in 1898 when his tomb was discovered by Victor Loret, all he found was the carved sarcophagus and some remains of smashed furniture and wooden statues. Tuthmosis III, mummy likewise was not in the tomb, for it had been found in 1881 in the great royal cache at Deir el-Bahari. However, the tomb is covered with black and red painted hieratic renditions of the netherworld texts.

Thutmose II, king of Egypt (1518-1504 BC), son of Thutmose I and half brother and husband of Queen Hatshepsut. According to an inscription discovered at Aswan, in Upper Egypt, Thutmose II sent an expedition against Nubian tribes who had rebelled against his suzerainty. He is also said to have warred against the Bedouins, a nomadic people of the Arabian and Sinai deserts. Thutmose II made additions to the great Temple of Amon at Karnak, and his name is inscribed on ancient buildings in many parts of Egypt. The mummy of the king was found in 1881 at Dayr al Bahrì.

Pharoah of Egypt (XVIII Dynasty)

Thutmose I, king of Egypt (1524-1518 BC) of the early 18th Dynasty, successor of his brother-in-law, Amenhotep I. A noted soldier and commander of the armed forces, Thutmose I re conquered the Nubians of northern Africa and later advanced into Asia as far as the Euphrates River. The remainder of his reign was devoted to various building projects. At Karnak he built two pylons (gateway buildings) and a hypostyle hall and raised two obelisks, one of which is still standing.

------
The third king of the 18th Dynasty was a commoner by birth. He had married Ahmose, a sister of Amenhotep I, and was named king when the king died childless. Ahmose bore him two sons who were passed over for Thutmose II, who was born to Mutnofret. Thutmose built an extension to the temple of Amon at Karnak. He added pylons, courts and statues. He led a campaign into Nubia where he penetrated beyond the Third Cataract. He defeated the Nubian chief in a hand to hand combat and returned to Thebes with the body of the fallen chief hanging on the prow of his ship. His greatest campaigns were in the Delta. Warring against the Hyksos he subdued tribes and finally reached the Euphrates River. To commemorate his victory he built a hypostyle hall at Karnak, made entirely of cedar wood columns. His remains were found in the cache, with others, at Deir el Bahri. Thutmose brought Egypt a sense of stability and his military campaigns healed the wounds of Thebians.

King Kamose's throne name Wadj-kheper-re (picture right) means: "Flourishing is the Manifestation of Re". He picked up the battle axe from his father Tao's war against the Hyksos who held the north as the Nubians had power south of Aswan. To motivate the people to break this status quo was a hard task and the fighting spirit wasn't high.
The old Hyksos king Apepi I tried to make an alliance with the Nubians and engage Kamose in a two-front war but it didn't work out as planned. Khamose's progress in the military manoeuvres was limited and he died after only about four years in about 1550 BC. He was buried in a simple tomb at Thebes and the course of his death is not known. His origin is dusky and he might have come from outside and married into the royal family.
He made several stelae and is attested for by items in his secondary tomb at Dra Abu el-Naga, like a famous ceremonial axe head, scarabs-seals , pedants and jewellery among other things.
His follower on the throne was his brother (or possibly nephew) Ahmose I who "liberated" Egypt after an additional 15 years of combat. He was the founder of a new dynasty (18), that would be the start of a golden era in Egyptian history - The New Kingdom, but that's another story.

Tao II is a well known king from the late 17th dynasty. His throne name right, Seqen-en-re, [He] Who Strikes Like Re" is well found as he was a warrior king who started a rebellion against the Hyksos in Avaris. Maybe he was provoked by a letter from their old king Apepi I who complained that his sleep was disturbed by the snoring from king Tao's hippopotami down in Thebes 800 km to the south(!).
His military campaign hardly became a success and he obviously died during the very first year(s). His mummy was found at Thebes and shows that he got a violent dead in some way. King Tao's about four years in office are rather well known and positioned in time around the years 1558-1554 BC.
The military struggle was continued by his son who became the next pharaoh.
Remnants from his own life time are about a dozen and the best known are his sarcophagus from Thebes and a statue of him, now in the Louvre Museum in Paris. From after his death his name has been found on stelae and literary remains all telling about his deeds in the Hyksos war.

The birth name of king Tao (in picture left) and his throne name Sa-nakht-en-re (within the cartouche in the right picture) has the meaning: "[I am] Perpetuated like Re".
Another name form used by Egyptologists starting in the 1980s is Taa or Táa, but if it's proper for this king is not quite sure since some will give him the nomen Sianun. Thus it's possible that there never was a Tao I and the only one with this name (and very well attested) is the follower below.
Nothing much is known from his rule but three remnants are known:
1) a stamp seal found at Abu el-Naga. 2) His throne name Senakhtenre within a cartouche written on an offering table from Thebes and now exhibited in the Archaeological Museum in Marseilles. 3) A depiction of him within a tomb at Thebes and probably from after his time.
The duration of his reign is not clear, but his time in office is likely to have taken place around the years 1559-1558 BC and have lasted for about a year.

Gruffydd ab Rhydderch (d 1055), king of the South Welsh, was the son of Rhydderch, son of Iestin, who in 1023 had assumed the government of the south after the death of Llewelyn ab Seisyll, and was killed by the Irish in 1033. The sons of Edwin, Hywel, and Maredudd, then acquired the rule of South Wales, but Gruffydd and his brothers contested it with them, fighting in 1034 the battle of Hiraethwy, Caradog, one of Gruffydd's brothers, was slain in 1035 in some contest with the English. In 1044 the death of Howel made Gruffydd and the other sons of Rhydderch the leaders of the South Welsh opposition of Gruffydd ab Llewelyn. In 1045 the Welsh chronicler complains of the deceit which the Sout Welsh Gruffydd and his brother Rhys perpetrated agains Gruffydd ab Llewelyn. A great struggle now broke out between them, in the course of which nearly all Deheubarth was laid waste. Gruffydd ab Ruydderch was also much engaged in attacks on the English. In 1046 Earl Swegen seems to have joined the North Welsh Gruffydd in his attacks on him. In 1049 Gruffydd joined with thirty-six Irish pirate ships in an attack on the coasts of the lower Severn, and inflicted great loss on the English, at the head of whom was Bishop Ealdred. In 1053 his brother Rhys became so troublesome that the witan decreed that he should be slain, 'and his head was brought to Gloucester on Twelfth-day eve.' At last in 1055 Gruffydd ab Rhydderch was slain by Gruffydd ab Llewelyn. He must have possessed unusmacl vigour of character to struggle so long both against the English and the North Welsh king. He left a son named Caradog, who in 1065 attacked the hintingseat which Earl Harold was building at Portskewet in Gwent, slew the workmen, and ravaged the neighbourhood. He afterwards obtained for a short time some share in the sovereignty of Deheubarth. [Dictionary of National Biography VIII:751]

Ruled Deheubarth 1047-1055

______________________

Gruffydd ap Rydderch ap Iestyn (d 1055), king. When Gruffudd ap Llywelyn took possession of Deheubarth in 1044, the South found a new focus of resistance in the leadership of Gruffydd ap Rhydderch. Independence was thus retrieved in 1045, and for ten years, until his fall in 1055, Gruffydd gave to his adopted 'patria' a vigorous government in which resistance to the Danes was a prominent feature. The sanction for his intervention in the affairs of Deheubarth came in part from his father's successful usurpation of power there during the years 1023-33. Gruffydd, moreover was already a 'king' in Glamorgan, probably over Gwynllwg, where his descendents enjoyed restricted power down to 1270. [Dictionary of Welsh Biography p318]

    _________________________________

    Caradog ap Gruffydd ap Rhydderch (d 1081) was the grandson of Rhydderch ap Iestyn, powerful in South Wales until his death in 1033, and the son of Gruffydd ap Rhydderch, the rival of Gruffudd ap Llywelyn, by whom he was slain in 1055. The home of the family would seem to have been Gwynllwg and Upper Gwent. It is in this quart of Wales that Caradog makes his first appearance in 1065, when he swooped upon earl Harold's new hunting lodge at Portskewet, destroyed it and ravaged the neighbourhood, without apparently suffering any reprisals. He was of a bold and adventurous temper and, remembering the exploits of his grandfather and father, set himself to conquer the realm of Deheubarth. In 1072 he defeated the slew the reigning prince, Maredudd ab Owain ab Edwin, in a battle on the Rhymney, and in 1078 slew his successor, Rhys ab Owain. But a third and more formidable opponent appeared in Rhys ap Tewdwr in 1081. Thus the stage was set for the famous battle of Mynydd Carn fought somewhere in northern Dyfed, where Rhys, fortified by the approval of bishop Sulien of S Davids and with the help of Gruffudd ap Cynan, inflicted a crushing defeat upon Caradog and his northern allies. Caradog is no more heard of; he left a son Owain, who in course of time established himself in Gwynllwg and became the ancestor of the later Welsh lords of Caerleon.

DESCENDANT OF THE ANCIENT KINGS OF SWEDEN AND DENMARK

GREAT GREAT GRANDSON OF KING DONALD III BANE

Earl William died in 1273, and was succeeded by his eldest son, Donald, seventh Earl of Mar. He was present at the meeting of the Estates held at Scone on the 5th of February, 1284, in which the barons and bishops bound themselves in the name of the nation to acknowledge the king’s granddaughter, Margaret, the Maid of Norway, as the heir of the Crown of Scotland. The Earl of Mar was present in the chapel of the Castle of Berwick, on the 3rd of August, 1291, when Edward I. protested that his consent to try the claims of the candidates for the Scottish Crown within the realm of Scotland, should not prejudice the exercise of his right as Lord Superior of Scotland, within the kingdom of England. The same year, on the 24th of July, he was present in the Church of the Friars at Perth, when Edward I. received the fealty of Mary, Queen of Isle of Man, and Countess of Strathearn. Earl Donald fought at the battle of Dunbar, on the 26th of April, 1296; and shortly after he was taken a prisoner by the English.
Yuya He was a chariotry officer. 1222 - 1273 William de Mar 51 51 Earl William was one of the most powerful barons of his time in Scotland. He was one of those who were removed from the Government of Scotland by Henry III. of England, in September, 1255, while his opponent, Alan Durward, was one of those who replaced him. Mar was, however, recalled to the king’s councils in the beginning of the year 1257. In November, 1258, he appears, along with Alan Durward, as one of those whom Henry III. undertook to support in the government of the kingdom. He was named among the barons of Scotland to whom Henry III. bound himself to deliver up the child that his daughter Margaret, queen of Alexander III., was about to give birth in England. He held the office of Great Chamberlain of Scotland in 1252, and again from 1263 to 1266. In 1270 he was sent to England, accompanied by the Abbot of Dunfermline, on a mission for the recovery of the Earldom of Huntingdon. By a charter dated at Falkland on the 23rd of January, 1268, witnessed by his sons, Donald and Duncan, he confirmed to the canons of St Andrews the grants made to them by his grandfather, Morgund, Earl of Mar, of the church of Tarland, and by his grandmother, Countess of Mar, of the church of Migvie; and, further, granted an acre of land, lying between the church and the castle of Migvie, for a manse to the vicar serving the cure. One clause in his charters touches on the questions which had been raised as to the legitimacy of Earl Morgund. Earl William died in 1273, and was succeeded by his eldest son, Donald, seventh Earl of Mar. ~1153 - 1242 Duncan de Mar 89 89 Acceded: 1224 About the year 1224 he was succeeded by Duncan, fifth Earl of Mar. Earl Duncan granted St Andrew’s Church, in Braemar, to the Priory of Monymusk, with an acre of land on the other side of the Water of Clunie. He also confirmed some of the grants made by his father, Earl Morgund. Duncan, Earl of Mar, was one of the witnesses to a charter by Alexander II. to Ness, his physician, of the lands of Banff, in the fief of Alyth, which was dated at Aberdeen on the 9th of October, 1232. Earl Duncan was succeeded by his son, William, sixth Earl of Mar. He is mentioned among the great barons of Scotland in the letter of fealty granted by Alexander II. to Henry III. of England in 1244. ~1115 - 30 Mar 1182/1183 Morgund mac Gylocher 5th Earl of Mar

Acceded: 1141 Ruadri was succeeded by Morgund, second Earl of Mar. Between the years 1165 and 1171 he granted the church of Tarland to the canons of St Andrews, with its tithes and oblations, land and mill, and also the second tithes of the Earl’s land, and timber from his woods for building purposes. This grant was confirmed by a charter of William the Lion. Earl Morgund and Agnes, his countess, also granted the church of Migvie to the canons of St Andrews.

Balvenie Castle
Home of the Black Comyn

Balvenie Castle lies a mile north of Dufftown, and is strategically located in Glenfiddich in the Grampian Region of Scotland. The castle's beginnings date to the 13th Century when Marjory, daughter of Fergus, the last Celtic Earl of Buchan, married William Comyn, one of the new breed of Scottish noblemen. He became the new earl, as well as Lord of Balvenie. It was either William or their son, Alexander, who built this castle.

Convinced he needed Henry to withstand Owain ap Gruffydd ofGwyned. Assisted (1157) Henry II vs. Owain ap Gruffydd of Gwyned. His death caused a struggle for succession. Allowed his nephews Owain & Meurig rule of Cyfeilioc. Resulted in Powys' loss of status as equal with kingdoms of Gwynedd & Deheubarth. Such rule was to be as an appendage to the kingdom. When Madoc's son & heir succeeded, Owain was able to keep Cyfieliog separate. Resulted in only northern Powys going to his son Gruffydd. ------------------------ MADOG ap MAREDUDD (buf. 1160), Brenin Powys; mab Maredudd ap Bleddyn ap Cynfyn. Efe oedd yr olaf o'i linach i reoli fel brenin dros Bowys gyfan, gan gynnwys arglwyddiaeth (Fitzalan) Croesoswallt (gw. Owain Bwogyntyn). Wedi iddo ddilyn ei dad yn 1132, y ddyletswydd a ystyriai ef yn fwyaf ei phwysigrwydd, yn enwedig rhwng y blynyddoedd 1149 a 1157, oedd amddiffyn Powys yn erbyn gormes Owain Gwynedd [q.v.]. Gan ei fod yn cael ei fygwth gan adeiladu castell Tomen-y-Rhodwydd ym mhen deheuol Dyffryn Clwyd, heriodd Madog, mewn cynghrair a Ranulf, iarll Caer, nesad Owain tuag ato, eithr ni Iwyddodd yr her, a chollodd Madog, am beth amser, lywodraeth ar ei diroedd yn lal. Daeth tro ar fyd yn hyn o beth, fodd bynnag, yn 1157 pan wnaeth Harri II, gyda chymorth Madog, ddatganiad pendant o'i awdurdod fel brenin yng Ngogledd Cymru. Hyd ei f. dair blynedd yn ddiweddarach yr oedd Madog yn parhau i fod ar delerau cyfeillgar a'i gynorthwywr pwerus yng Ngogledd Cymru.

Madog ap Maredudd (d 1160), king of Powys, son of Maredudd ap Bleddyn ap Cynfyn. He was the last of his dynasty to rule as king over the whole of Powys, including, for a time, the Fitzalan lordship of Oswestry. Succeeding his father in 1132, his main pre-occupation, particularly between the years 1149-57, was the defence of Powys against the agression of Owain Gwynedd. Threatened by the building of the castle of Tomen-y-Phodwyndd at the southern end of the Vale of Clwyd, Madog, in alliance with Ranulf, earl of Chester, unsuccessfully challenged Owain's advance, losing, for a time, the control of his lands in Ial. This loss was retrieved in 1157 when Henry II, with Madog's support, made a decisive assertion of authority in North Cymru. When he died three years later he was still there sung by the influence which he asserted in central Cymru is enshrined in contemporary prose romances. He was buried in the mother-church of Powys - S Tysilio at Meifod. He m. Susanna, daughter of Owain Gwynedd. His dominions were divided among a number of minor lord of Powys - his sons and nephews - and were never again to be reunited in the hands of a single ruler. [Dictionary of Welsh Biography p608] ------------------------ When Madog died in 1160 there was a struggle for succession. In 1149 Madog had allowed his nephews, Owain and Meurig, to rule Cyfieliog as an appendage to the kingdom according to the custom of those times - never intending that the area should be separated from the kingdom of Powys. When Madog's son, Gruffudd, succeeded his father, Owain was able to keep Cyfieliog and some adjacent areas for himself, leaving only northern Powys for Gruffudd. This split the kingdom into two resulting in Powys' loss of generally equal status with the kingdoms of Gwynedd and Deheubarth. ------------------------- Madog ap Maredudd (d 1160), prince of Powys, was the son of Maredudd ap Bleddyn ap Cynfyn and nephew of Iowerth ab Bleddyn. His father, who at his death in 1132 was lord of all Powys. The son Madog, if he did not at once succeed to his father's position, doutless attained it before long, and held it for some years. The contemporary poet, Gwalchmai speaks of the influence of Madog as stretching from Plynlimmon to the gates of Chester, and from Bangor to the extremity of Meirionydd i.e. over all Powys; the same idea prevailed, too, as to the extent of his power when (probably at the end of the twelfth century) the story of ;Fhonabwy's Dream' was cast into its present form. According to Powel, on the other hand, Madog ruled only over Northern Powys, which thus got its title of Powys Fadog. Maredudd, Powel tells us, 'had two sons, Madoc . . . and Gruffyth, betweens whom Powys was dinided;' but the fact is that Gruffydd died before his father in 1128. As to the name Powys Fadog, it clearly came into existence at the same time of Powys Wenwynwyn, viz. about the beginning of the thirteenth century, when Madog ap Gruffydd Maelor and Gwenwynwyn ruled Northern and Southern Powys respectively. Madog ap Maredudd was certainly lord of Powys Wenwynwyn, for about 1149 he gave Cyfeiliog, one if its regions, to his nephews, Owain and Meurig ap Gruffydd, and in 1156 he built at sronghold in Caer Einion, which was also a region of Southern Powys.  Madog was prince of Powys during the reign of Stephe, the period during which the Welsh shook off the rigid control established by Henry I, and regained much which they had lost through the Noman conquest. Like other Welsh princes, he seems to have profited by this movement. About 1149 he rebuuilt the castle at Oswestry, a spot which had not been Welsh ground for nearly a century, and which was soon recovered by the English. Madog's appearance in the district was probably directly due to the turmoil caused by the civil war, for Oswestry was part of the Fitzalans' territory and William Fitzalan took active part on the side of the empress. Rhys Cain's attempt to represent the Fitzalans as teh new-comers is discredited by it s gross anachronisms.  The salient feature of Madog's career is not, however, his success against the English, but his friendship with them. During the first half of the twelfth century Gwynedd had been gradmaclly growing at the expense of the minor northern principalities, until in Madog's time it was a formidable neighbour to Powys, conterminous with it from Machynlleth to Chester. Madog first adoped the policy, which afterwards became popular with princes of Powys, of protecting his realm by cultivation the friendship of his English neighbors. In the year in which he had fortified Oswestry, his neighbour, Owain Gwynedd, had built a castle in Ial, always reckoned a district of Powys. The encroachment called for immediate notice, and in the followin year (1150?) Madog enlisted the aid of Ralph, earl of Chester in an attacke upon the prince of Gwynedd. The battle was fought at Consillt, near Flint, and proved a signal victory for Owain. Foiled in this first enterprise, Madog nevertheless adhered to his policy. In 1157, when Henry II made his first expedition into Cymru, Madog took no part in the national resistance organised by Owain Gwynedd, but watched the conflict as a spectator, probably in virtue of a secret understanding with the king. The chronicle known as 'Brut y Saeson' says that Madog was commander of the fleet which attacked Anglesey in the course of the campaign, but this statement, in itself improbable, is made by no other authority, and probably arose through the confusion of two consecutive sentences in 'Brut y Tywysogion.' What the latter (and better) authority says of Madog is that 'he chose a place for encampment betwen the king's host and Owain's, that he might receive the first onset the king should make' - a sarcastice description, probably of Madog's real attitude of armed neutrality. It is not without significance that one resulf of the campaign was that Iorwerth the Red, Madog's brother, was enabled to destroy the obnoxious castle in Ial.  Madog died in 1160, and was buried in the church of St Tyailio at Meifod. His son Llywelyn died almost immediately afterwards; other children who survived him longer were: Gruffydd Maelo (d 1191), Owain Fychan (d 1186), Elise, Owain Brogyntyn, Marred, who married Iowerth Drwyndwn, and Gwenllian, who married the Lord Rhys. The genealogists add Cynwrig Efaill and Einion Efaill. The 'Myvyrian Archaiology' contains two contemporary poems in honour of Madog by Gwalchmai and four by Cynddelw Brydydd Mawr.  [Dictionary of National Biography XII:745-6]

By the time that  Ramesses II died, he had apparently outlived  twelve of his sons, so it was his 13th son, Merenptah who ascended the throne of Egypt. Merenptah was old himself by this time, probably nearly sixty years old, and his reign was rather dull, as well as short lived (perhaps only nine or ten years) in comparison with that of his father's reign. According to the Oxford History of Ancient Egypt, he ruled from 1213 until 1203 BC, while Clayton provides a reign from 1212 until 1202 BC.

Merenptah (also hetep-her-maat, and commonly also called Merneptah) was the king's birth name, meaning "Beloved of Ptah, Joyous is Truth). His throne name was Ba-en-re Mery-netjeru, which means "The Soul of Re, Beloved of the Gods".  Merenptah was probably the fourth child of Ramesses II's second principle wife, Istnofret (Isisnofret). He was married to queens Istnofret (Isisnofret), who must have surely been his sister, and possibly a queen Takhat. His son was Seti-Merenptah, who probably ascended the throne sometime after his father as Seti II. However, Seti II's reign may have been initially usurped by a Amenmesse who may have been a son of Takhat, though Takhat's marriage to Merenptah is far from certain.

Merenptah is almost completely unknown until the 40th year of Ramesses II's reign. In fact he may have been heir to the throne of Egypt for about twelve years prior to Ramesses II's death, but in Ramesses II's year 40, we known the prince was made General of the Army. Perhaps it is not surprising that what we know of Merenptah's rule is mostly about his military activities. However, he appears not to have become the heir to the throne until Ramesses II's 55th regnal year, when Ramesses II was celebrating his 80th birthday, and Merenptah his 48th. In fact, in the last decade of Ramesses II's life, Merenptah was probably the real power behind the throne, as Ramesses II was well advanced in age.

In fact, he is mainly attested to by three great inscriptions, including 80 lines on a wall in the Temple of Amun at Karnak, a large stele with 35 readable lines from Athribis in the Delta and the great Victory Stele from his ruined mortuary temple at Thebes, with 28 lines. All of these text refer to his military campaigns.

Right: Artist Portrait of what Merenptah may have looked like

The Victory Stele is unique. It was usurped by Merenptah from the mortuary temple of Amenhotep III at Thebes, and is dated to the third day of the third month of the third season so it may have been written around the summer of 1207. In it, Merenptah lists enemy conquests, but the most interesting reference is a very rare mention of Israel. It may be the oldest non biblical reference to that country. Because of this, Merenptah has often been thought to be the pharaoh of the Exodus, though modern opinion leans against such an identification. In part, the stele states that:

    "The princes are prostrate saying: "Shalom!"
    Not one of the Nine Bows lifts his head:
    Tjehenu is vanquished, Khatti at peace,
    Canaan is captive with all woe.
    Ashkelon is conquered, Gezer seized,
    Yanoam made nonexistent;
    Israel is wasted, bare of seed,
    Khor is become a widow for Egypt.
    All who roamed have been subdued.
    By the King of Upper and Lower Egypt, Banere-meramun,
    Son of Re, Merenptah, Content with Maat,
    Given life like Re every day."

Merenptah apparently did face a number of military problems.  These included a "flash" revolt in Syria, which was quickly crushed. There were also problems on Egypt's western borders involving the southern Libyans and the Sea People, who apparently had silently infiltrated the Delta, and around year five of Merenptah's rule, attempted an invasion. However, with rapid mobilization of his forces and a pre-emptive strike, Merenptah was able to vanquish these enemies, apparently slaughtering many of them. Also, the Libyans apparently inspired the Nubians to the south to also revolt, but Merenptah's quick response to the Libyans allowed him to immediately turn south and inflict a crushing blow on those rebels as well.

However, Merenptah did attempt to maintain the peaceful relations of his father. The Hittite King in Syria faced a possible invasion from the north and widespread famine, so under the term of the treaty they had made with Ramesses II, they requested assistance from Merenptah, who provided them with much needed grain.

One interesting facet to Merenptah's reign was that he moved the administrative center for Egypt from Piramesse (Pi-Ramesse), his fathers capital, back to Memphis, where he constructed a royal palace next to the temple of Ptah. This palace was excavated in 1915 by the University of Pennsylvania Museum led by Clarence Fischer, and yielded fine architectural elements.

Merenptah's tomb is number KV 8 located in the Valley of the Kings on the West Bank of Luxor (ancient Thebes).  The king probably died around 1202 BC, but his mummy was not found within his tomb. In the 19th century, this apparently added to the speculation about him being the Pharaoh of the Exodus, since that king's body would have probably been washed away in the Red Sea.  However, that theory was confounded when, in 1898, his mummy was discovered among 18 others in the mummy cache discovered in the tomb of Amenhotep II (KV 35).

He also built a mortuary temple that lies behind the Colossi of Memnon on the West Bank at Luxor. Much of it was built with stone robbed from the mortuary temple of Amenhotep III. The structure is currently being studied by Horst Jartz with the Swiss Institute in Cairo.  Reports indicate that some of the fragments discovered include well preserved reliefs, perhaps some of the finest to be found in any temple at Thebes. The Egyptian Ministry of Culture has now decided to turn this complex into an open museum.

In addition to his tomb and temple we also know that he added to the Osireion at Abydos and also built at Dendera. Merenptah is further attested to by a "wall stele" at Amada, four almost identical stele from Nubia (at Amada, Amarah West, Wadi Sebua, Aksha), blocks from Elephantine, a decree from West Silsila, an inscription in the small temple of Medinet Habu, stele from Kom el-Ahmar and Hermopolis (along with other inscriptions), a victory column at Heliopolis, and several monument remains at Piramesse.

She was, early on, the second principal wife, and  may have been closer to Nefertari in importance then what we know. It is very possible that the two queens had similarly important responsibilities, with Istnofred domain being northern or Lower Egypt.

While there is little doubt that Nefertari was probably Ramesses II's favorite and most powerful wife, it was Istnofret who bore Ramesses II his most important sons, including his successor, Merenptah, and the well known and loved Khaemwese, High Priest of the Temple of Ptah at Memphis.

Furthermore, after the death of Nefertari, Istnofret became Ramesses II's "Great Royal Wife", becoming his chief queen.  We believe this was in year 24 or 25 of Ramesses II's reign, and she remained his chief wife until her death. We are not sure at what point she died. Perhaps she lived less then ten years after the death of Nefertari, but we do know that she preceded Ramesses II to the grave. Istnofret's tomb has never been found, though it is probably on the West Bank at Luxor.

It would have been interesting were Khaemwese to have outlived his father, Ramesses II. He would have been king, rather then Merenptah, who's reign seems somewhat bland (perhaps only because it was short). But Khaemwese, the fourth son of Ramesses by his wife, Istnofred (Isisnofret) (her second son), seems to have been gifted, as well as loved and respected for his  intelligence, common sense and knowledge of religious matters. He was probably born when Ramesses II was still young, perhaps even before he ascended to the throne. We believe that Khaemwese may have been married to a woman named Nubnofret. Though he died before his father, never having ruled, he was still regarded as one of Egypt's greatest scholars and magicians a thousand years after his death.

According to ancient text, Khaemwese earned his reputation because of his talent, intelligence and keen administrative skills.  Though he was shown as a young man in a Nubian battle wielding a chariot with his older brother, Amun-her-khepeshef and father, we know of no military titles he ever held. And while he is also shown in a military campaign in Tunip (in western Asia), the position he rose through the ranks to occupy was High Priest of the Temple of Ptah located in Memphis (near modern Cairo). In one fragment of a stone column now in the Royal Scottish Museum, Khaemwese was described as "...Your beloved son...(the Greatest) of the Leaders of the Artistic Crafts, the Sem-Priest and King;s Son, Khaemwese".

Khaemwese wrote in an inscription found in the Serapaeum at Saqqara that he had joined the priesthood of Ptah at an early age and have earned the title of sem-priests a short time later. Sem-priests can be identified by their panther skin robes that are draped over their shoulders. The position dates to the beginning of Egyptian history, and was often held by an elder son of the pharaoh. It was an important position connected with royal funeral ceremonies and so also affiliated with the cult of Osiris.

It would take Khaemwese another decade, perhaps in his father's regnal year 25, to attain the rank of High Priest of Ptah. He would then have been in his mid twenties. This office was given significance during the reign of Amunhotep III, who became the first pharaoh to give the office to his son. In fact, Ramesses II probably strengthened the position further. By doing so, he helped offset the powerful priesthood lead by the High Priest of Amun at Karnak.

The High Priest of Ptah had grave responsibilities. From a religious aspect, Khaemwese would have not only been responsible for the religious ceremonies of Ptah, but also Sokar, Osiris, Re, Apis and others. He would have also arranged the king's sed festivals. Khaemwese would have overseen all royal architectural projects, as well as all sculptors, jewelers and artists working on royal commission. In fact, he supervised the building of the Ramesseum at Thebes, his father's mortuary temple, oversaw construction activities in the Great Hypostyle Hall at Karnak, and otherwise supervised building projects at Pi-Ramesses, the capital in the eastern Nile Delta, and elsewhere. He also supervised the building of the Great Temple of Ptah at Memphis. These were all important projects and we can still gaze upon some of this splendor today.

Left: The Ramesseum

In addition, Khaemwese had a great respect for tradition. He made a survey of temples, shrines, pyramids and tombs at many locations around Memphis (very near modern Cairo). Finding many of them on the verge of collapse, he apparently went to Ramesses II in order for approval of a restoration program. This effort resulted in the cleaning and repairing of over a dozen pyramids, temples, tombs, chapels and statues. During this process, Khaemwese wrote on an old statue of an Old Kingdom prince that the reason he took on these projects was "so greatly did he love antiquity and the noble-folk who were aforetime...".

In a sense, the first recorded historian of Egypt was Khaemwese, who devoted much time to seeking out magical texts. A papyrus in the Louvre contains magical formulae which are attributed to him, and his quest led him around the tombs at Sakkara, to study inscriptions on temple walls, and to examine sacred books in the temple libraries. A visit to King Unas' pyramid at Sakkara inspired Khaemwese to record his interest in antiquities in an inscription there, discovered by the archaeologist J. P. Laur in 1937; it states that Khaemwese has:

    "inscribed the name of the King of Upper and Lower Egypt, Unas, since it was not found on the face of the pyramid, because the priest Prince Khaemwese loved to restore the monuments of the Kings of Upper and Lower Egypt.."

In Memphis the god Ptah was represented in the form of a living bull called an Apis. Khaemwese, as the high Priest of Ptah, of course enjoyed an important role in the worship of the Apis bull. He would have supervised the care of this animal during its life, and its burial after death when it was transformed into Osiris. After the bulls death, he became Osiris-Apis, or Osorapis.

Apis bulls were honored in death by all of Egypt, and were mummified much like humans in a process that lasted 70 days. The mummification ritual and subsequent burial were so important that an inscription at Saqqara describes Ramesses II's visit on such an occasion in order to actually participate in the event. The Apis bull was buried at Saqqara in a subterranean complex known as the Serapaeum, and it was Khaemwese, as High Priest of Ptah, who had the Serapaeum built.

Right: The Serapaeum at Saqqara

Prior to this, Apis bulls had been buried in separate tombs, but the Serapaeum is a complex corridors and off of those, a series of burial crypts for the mummified bulls. There was also a great temple to the Apis built directly atop these catacombs. Interestingly, if any tomb bears any resemblance to the octopus design found in the Tombs of Ramesses's Sons in the Valley of the Kings, it would be the Serapaeum.

Another of Khaemwese's major responsibilities was to plan his father's sed festival. This celebration, sometimes called a jubilee, was held on the occasion of the king's 30th year on the throne. After this, it was held at two or three year intervals, and Ramesses II set a record of 14 such festivals, and Khaemwese organized the first nine. He had inscribed on a cliff at Gebel es-Silsileh, a site just north of Aswan:

     "year 30, First Occasion of the Sed-festival of the Lord of Both Lands, Usimare Setepenre [given life forever. His Majesty decreed that] the jubilee-festival should be proclaimed in the entire land, by the King's Son and Sem-priest, Khaemwese, justified."

Khaemwese may have been crown prince for a very short while during his father's reign, after the death of his older three brothers. However, the brother in line just above Khaemwese was still crown price in year 52, and Merenptah who actually succeeded Ramesses II was crown prince in year 55. Khamwese died either late in year 54 or in year 55 of Ramesses II's reign.

We are fairly certain that Khaemwese was buried in northern Egypt, perhaps at Saqqara or Giza. There has been no evidence found in the Tomb of Ramesses II's son to suggest he was buried in the Valley of the Kings. There was a mummy of of a middle aged man found in Khaemwese's beloved Serapaeum in 1851, and it has and continues to be speculated by Egyptologists that this is the body of Khaemwese. Found with the mummy were necklaces of semiprecious stones and amulets, along with a gold mask. However, Auguste Mariette, who discovered the mummy blasted his way into the bedrock above the crypts and so the mummy could have literally been blown from another tomb above. In addition, besides the fairly fine funerary equipment, there is no other evidence that the mummy is that of Khaemwese.

Between 1991 and 1993, Japanese Egyptologists from Waseda University unearthed the remains of a limestone building about a kilometer north of the Serapaem. All about the building, limestone blocks were with the name and image of Khaemwese were scattered about. There were some 2,500 objects discovered in the ruins that date from the New Kingdom or later. Yet the building itself seems archaeologically to date to the Old Kingdom. Sakuji Yoshimura, the Japanese project leader, believes that the building was nevertheless constructed upon the orders of Khaemwese. It is clear that this son of Ramesses II had a great respect for tradition, and even studied the old buildings. Yoshimura believes Khaemwese deliberately built the structure in an archaic style. Now the big question, however, remains.  Is this simply a religious center connected with Khaemwese, or could it somehow be connected to his tomb.

The youngest son of Clovis I and Clotilde, Clotaire inherited apart of his father's kingdom. Initially, Clovis' domain includedthe old lands of the Salian Franks in modern northern France andBelgium with the center in Soissons, but by the end of his reignhe united all Frankish lands.

Clovis went on military campaign against the Burgundians in 523.He seized Authun and then ravaged Burgundy in 525. The death ofhis elder brother, Clodomir, in 524 caused partition of thekingdom of Orl‚ans, which benefited Clotaire and his tworemaining brothers, Childebert and Thierry. To prevent theclaims of Clodomir's sons to their father's lands, Clotairealong with Childebert organized their murder in 532. Clovishelped Thierry to conquer the Thuringians in 531 and alsocampaigned with Childebert against the Visigoths in 542/543.

In 555, Clotaire inherited the lands of Thibaud (Th‚odebald),Thierry's grandson, who died without issue. The death ofChildebert I brought Chlotaire the absolute power in theMerovingian kingdom. In 560 he crashed the revolt of his ownson, Chramne, who first conspired with Childebert againstClotaire and then joined forces with the Bretons, but wasdefeated and put to death on orders of Clotaire.

The unification of Merovingian lands came to an end with thedeath of Clotaire in December 561. His four sons again dividedthe Frankish kingdom.

Elizabeth was born in Chester Co, PA. ABT. 1740. Elizabeth died in Ohio Co., WV.. (1936) Thomas Gorby, born about 1730 in Chester Co, PA, is the second son of Samuel and Mary (May) Gorby. He married Elizabeth Allman. Nothing is known of her family. In Delaware and eastern Pennsylvania there were, in those early days, families who used various spellings of a similar name. - Allmond, Almond, Allmon and Allman. In one family alone the first three spellings were used and the Allmans of the Gorby family may have come from these families.

From the Pennsylvania Archives we find Thomas Gorby on the tax list in Chester Co, PA in 1769; in 1783 in Rostraver Township, Westmoreland Co; in 1785 in Washington Township, Fayette Co; and in 1788 in Washington Co until 1798. From 1798 until 1802 he lived in Greene Co, having owned land in each of the last four named counties. After 1802, until the time of his death in 1814, he lived in Ohio Co, then VA, where he bought land and conducted a successful farming and milling business. So far the location of this farm and mill has not been found.

Thomas Gorby's will was made March 24, 1814 and filed during the May term of court, 1814, so he died sometime between those two dates. He was survived by his wife and nine grown children - six sons and three daughters. The will is on file in the Wheeling courthouse.

At the present time neither the date of death of his wife, nor the burial place of the two has been found. As was often the custom in those days, they may have been buried on their farm.

Thomas Gorby blazed a long trail through the forests and over the rough mountains of Pennsylvania down to Wheeling, and it took courage, force of character, and marvelous determination of both husband and wife to accomplish what they did. In spite of the hardships, maybe because of them, they lived to be near 84 or 85 years of age.

The descendants of Thomas and Elizabeth (Allman) Gorby settled chiefly in central and southern Ohio, West Virginia, and western Pennsylvania.

Ref: GWG1 - The PA Census of 1800 lists Thomas with his sons Eli and Job as living in Findley Twp, Greene Co, PA.

Thomas Gorby served as a Private in Captain Andrew Lynn's Company of Westmoreland County, PA. Served as a Private in Captain Stokeley's Company of Frontier Rangers of Westmoreland County, PA.

Born Alexander III in Pella, Macedon, he was the son of King Philip II of Macedon and Epirote princess Olympias. According to several legends, Olympias was impregnated not by Philip, who was afraid of her and her affinity for sleeping in the company of snakes, but by Zeus. One legend claims that both Phillip and Olympias dreamt of their son's future birth. Olympias dreamt of a loud burst of thunder and that lightening had hit her womb. In Philip's dream, he was sealing her womb with the seal of the lion. Arixstandros determined that the child would have the character of lion. Aware of these legends and of their political usefulness, Alexander was wont to refer to his father as Zeus, rather than as Philip. According to Plutarch, his father descended from Heracles through Caranus and his mother descended from Aeacus through Neoptolemus.

North and east of classical Greece, Macedon was regarded by most Greeks as foreign and semi-barbarian. Olympias herself was from Epirus, another semi-Greek state to the northwest of the Greek peninsula.

Philip selected Aristotle to tutor young Alexander, and their relationship lasted throughout Alexander's life; even after the execution of his nephew, Callisthenes, Aristotle continued to receive presents (plant specimens) from the king.

In 336 BC, he succeeded his father on the throne. Philip's assassination, although perpetrated by a disgruntled young man (Pausanias) who had been one of Philip's lovers, is thought to have been planned with the knowledge and possible involvement of either or both Alexander or Olympias.

King of Metz 561-575 - Sigebert inherited the kingdom of Metz on the death of his father Chlotar in 561. In 562, Sigebert defeated a Hunnic army that invaded Gaul, and peace was made between the two forces. At that time, his brother Chilperic, King of Soissons, invaded Metz and took several cities rightly belonging to Sigebert, thus starting a civil war. Sigebert marched to the city of Soissons, exiled Theudebert, Chilperic's son in command of the city, and then beat Chilperic in battle. Sigebert married Brunhild, the Arian daughter of King Anthanagild of the Visigoths, who was converted to Catholicism. In 566 the Huns again invaded Metz, and this time were successful over Sigebert. The next year, Sigebert's brother King Charibert of Paris died, and his kingdom was divided between the three living sons of Chlotar. Right away, Chilperic invaded Sigebert's share. He attacked Tours and left his son Clovis in command. Clovis was driven out of Tours by Sigebert, and then driven out of Bordeaux by Sigulf (573), one of Sigebert's generals. Civil war then began between Sigebert and his other brother King Guntram of Burgundy, and, at the same time, Theudebert (son of Chilperic before mentioned) invaded Metz and destroyed many cities. In 574, Sigebert allied himself with Guntram and planned to counter, but when Guntram shifted his alliance from Chilperic to Sigebert that was enough to make him surrender. However the next year, Chilperic succeeded in winning back his brother Guntram, and another war was started with Sigebert. Theudebert was beaten and killed, Guntram again swiched alliances, and Chilperic again retreated. This year, however, Sigebert was assassinated, and his kingdom passed to his son Childebert II.
D. 0336 BC Philip King of Macedonia 0537 - 0613 Brunehaut 76 76 Princess of the Visigoths
Brunhild (550?-613), queen of the Frankish kingdom known as Austrasia (on the border of present-day France and Germany). Brunhild was married to Sigebert I, king of Austrasia. Her sister Galswintha married Sigebert's brother Chilperic, ruler of neighboring Neustria. Fredegund, Chilperic's former concubine, caused Galswintha to be murdered; she then married Chilperic. The next half century in Gaul is filled with the bloody deeds provoked by the enmity of Brunhild and Fredegund. In 613 Clotaire II of Neustria, son of Fredegund, captured and killed Brunhild.

Brunhild was the daughter of the Visigothic king Anthanagild and wife of the Frankish king Sigebert I of Metz. Born an Arian, she was converted to Catholocism. When Sigebert was assassinated and her son Childebert II took the throne, Sigebert's brother King Chilperic of Soissons banished Brunhild and imprisoned Ingund and Chlodosind. Chilperic's son Merovech then disobeyed his father and married Brunhild. Chilperic was outraged, and the two agreed to separate. Later Fredegund, wife of Chilperic, nearly had her assassinated. Until the end of her life she was the target of many assassination attempts, and present during many political meetings between her son and his uncles and cousins.

When King Childebert was assassinated in 595, Queen Brunhild ruled in the place of his two sons Theudebert II and Theuderic II. Brunhild lived in the court of Theudebert in Austrasia until he married Bilichild. Brunhild saw her as compitition, but could not convince her grandson not to marry her. Instead, she left the court and was received warmly in Burgundy by Theuderic. He married the Catholic Ermenberta, daughter of King Recared I of the Visigoths. After a year, Brunhild convinced this one to divorce her and take back his concubines. In 612, Brunhild urged Theuderic to attack his brother, whom he defeated and killed. The next year, however, the 26 year old king died of dysentery. Brunhild chose Sigebert II, son of Theuderic, to rule as king, but Chlotar, King of Soissons, ordered him executed, taking control of all the Frankish kingdoms. That year, he had Brunhild brutally tortured and executed (68 years old).

He established the Northmen in France and was the first Duke of Normandy.
Count of Rouen. Conquered Normandy. Also known as Hrolf (Gongu-Hrolfr),
Rollon, Ganger and Granger Rolf.
WED says the area near "Mora, Norway, was the domain of the jarl of More,
whose son Hrolf, with his followers...in 911 settled in the district later
known as Normandy."
Roots: Ganger Rolf, "the Viking (or Rollo), banished from Norway to the
Hebrides ca. 876; 890 participated in Viking attack on Bayeux, where Count
Berenger of Bayeux was killed, and his daughter Poppa taken, 886, by Rollo (now
called Count of Rouen) as his "Danish" wife. Under Treaty of St. Clair, 911,
received the Duchy of Normandy from Charles III, "the Simple."
Davis: Rollo, ruler of Normandy from 911-931. The dukes of Normandy free
married with non-Scandinavians. "Rollo is said to have married the daughter of
the Frankish king and to have had his son by the daughter of a Frankish count.
That son, William, married the daughter of a Frankish count and had his son,
Richard, by a Breton. None of the dukes' wives came from Scandinavia or
England, and by the first half of the 11th century their family connections
were typically French." An early historian, Dudo, said Rollo was Danish.
Ashley: Count Rolllo or Rolf the Viking., died 993?
Norr: Rollo or Rolf, 1st duke of Normandy 912-917-(927), born about 856. He
was of the same Danish origin as the ancestors of the English which his
descendants conquered in 1066.

Antiochus III the Great, (ruled 223 - 187 BC), younger son of Seleucus II Callinicus, became ruler of the Seleucid kingdom as a youth of about eighteen in 223 BC. (His traditional designation, the Great, stems from a misconception of Megas Basileus (Great king), the traditional title of the Persian kings, which he adopted.)

Antiochus III inherited a disorganized state. Not only had Asia Minor become detached, but the further eastern provinces had broken away, Bactria under the Greek Diodotus, and Parthia under the nomad chieftain Arsaces. Soon after Antiochus's accession, Media and Persia revolted under their governors, the brothers Molon and Alexander.

The young king, under the baneful influence of the minister Hermeias, authorised an attack on Palestine instead of going in person to face the rebels. The attack on Palestine proved a fiasco, and the generals sent against Molon and Alexander met with disaster. Only in Asia Minor, where the king's cousin, the able Achaeus represented the Seleucid cause, did its prestige recover, driving the Pergamene power back to its earlier limits.

In 221 BC Antiochus at last went east, and the rebellion of Molon and Alexander collapsed. The submission of Lesser Media, which had asserted its independence under Artabazanes, followed. Antiochus rid himself of Hermeias by assassination and returned to Syria (220 BC). Meanwhile Achaeus himself had revolted and assumed the title of king in Asia Minor. Since, however, his power was not well enough grounded to allow of his attacking Syria, Antiochus considered that he might leave Achaeus for the present and renew his attempt on Palestine.

The campaigns of 219 BC and 218 BC carried the Seleucid arms almost to the confines of Egypt, but in 217 BC Ptolemy IV confronted Antiochus at Raphia and inflicted a defeat upon him which nullified all Antiochus's successes and compelled him to withdraw north of the Lebanon. In 216 BC Antiochus went north to deal with Achaeus, and had by 214 BC driven him from the field into Sardis. Antiochus contrived to get possession of the person of Achaeus (see Polybius), but the citadel held out until 213 BC under Achaeus's widow and then surrendered.

Having thus recovered the central part of Asia Minor - for the Seleucid government had pe\\rforce to tolerate the dynasties in Pergamum, Bithynia and Cappadocia - Antiochus turned to recover the outlying provinces of the north and east. He obliged Xerxes of Armenia to acknowledge his supremacy in 212 BC. In 209 BC Antiochus invaded Parthia, occupied the capital Hecatompylus and pushed forward into Hyrcania. The Parthian king apparently successfully sued for peace. 209 BC saw Antiochus in Bactria, where another Greek, Euthydemus, had supplanted the original rebel. Antiochus again met with success. After sustaining a famous siege in his capital Bactra (Balkh), Euthydemus obtained an honourable peace by which Antiochus promised Euthydemus' son Demetrius the hand of one of his daughters.

Antiochus next, following in the steps of Alexander, crossed into the Kabul valley, received the homage of the Indian king Sophagasenus and returned west by way of Seistan and Kerman (206/5). From Seleucia on the Tigris he led a short expedition down the Persian Gulf against the Gerrhaeans of the Arabian coast (205 BC/204 BC). Antiochus seemed to have restored the Seleucid empire in the east, and the achievement brought him the title of "the Great King." In 205 BC/204 BC the infant Ptolemy V Epiphanes succeeded to the Egyptian throne, and Antiochus conduded a secret pact with Philip V of Macedon for the partition of the Ptolemaic possessions.

Once more Antiochus attacked Palestine, and by 199 BC he seems to have had possession of it before the Aetolian, Scopas, recovered it for Ptolemy. But that recovery proved brief, for in 198 BC Antiochus defeated Scopas at the battle of Panium, near the sources of the Jordan, a battle which marks the end of Ptolemaic rule in Palestine.

Antiochus then moved to Asia Minor to secure the coast towns which had acknowledged Ptolemy and the independent Greek cities. This enterprise brought him into antagonism with Rome, since Smyrna and Lampsacus appealed to the republic of the west, and the tension became greater after Antiochus had in 196 BC established a footing in Thrace. The evacuation of Greece by the Romans gave Antiochus his opportunity, and he now had the fugitive Hannibal at his court to urge him on.

In 192 BC Antiochus invaded Greece, having the Aetolians and other Greek states as his allies. In 191 BC , however, the Romans under Manius Acilius Glabrio routed him at Thermopylae and obliged him to withdraw to Asia. But the Romans followed up their success by attacking Antiochus in Asia Minor, and the decisive victory of Scipio Asiaticus at Magnesia ad Sipylum (190 BC), following the defeat of Hannibal at sea off Side, gave Asia Minor into their hands.

By the peace of Apamea (188 BC) the Seleucid king abandoned all the country north of the Taurus, which Rome distributed amongst its friends. As a consequence of this blow to the Seleucid power, the outlying provinces of the empire, recovered by Antiochus, reasserted their independence.

Antiochus perished in a fresh expedition to the east in Luristan (187 BC). The Seleucid kingdom as Antiochus left it fell to his son, Seleucus IV Philopator.

In 987, on the death of Louis V, the last of the Carolingian kings of France, Hugh Capet, duke of France and count of Paris, was elected king by the nobility and the clergy. The feudal domain of the Capet family was Ile de France, the area around Paris. The Capetian kings greatly strengthened the royal power in France by insisting on the principles of heredity, primogeniture, and indivisibility of crown lands. Shortly after Hugh became king, he had his son Robert crowned as Robert II (known as the Pious). Hugh appointed Robert his associate, and this practice of the father having his eldest son rule with him was followed until the late 12th century. The greatest of the Capetian kings were Philip II Augustus, Louis IX (St. Louis), and Philip IV. The dynasty secured direct overlordship of almost all France by the process of incorporating additional fiefs, large and small, with their own territories. In 1328, when Charles IV died without male heirs, the Capetians were succeeded by the Valois, a younger branch of the family,which ruled France until 1589."Capet," Microsoft (R) Encarta.

Seleucus II Callinicus or Pogon (the epithets meaning "beautiful victor" and "bearded", respectively) reigned from 246 to 225 BC as head of the Seleucid dynasty. He was proclaimed king by his mother, Laodice, whilst her partisans at Antioch made away with Berenice and her son.

Berenice's brother, Ptolemy III, who had just succeeded to the Egyptian throne, at once invaded the Seleucid realm and marched victoriously to the Tigris or beyond, receiving the submission of the eastern provinces, whilst his fleets swept the coasts of Asia Minor.

In the interior of Asia Minor Seleucus maintained himself, and when Ptolemy returned to Egypt he recovered Northern Syria and the nearer provinces of Iran. In Asia Minor his younger brother Antiochus Hierax was put up against him by a party to which Laodice herself adhered.

At Ancyra (about 235 BC) Seleucus sustained a crushing defeat and left the country beyond the Taurus to his brother and the other powers of the peninsula. He then undertook an anabasis to regain Parthia, the results of which however came to nothing. According to some sources, he was even taken prisoner for several years by the Parthian king.

In Asia Minor, Pergamum now rose to greatness under Attalus I, and Antiochus Hierax, after a failed attempt to his brother's dominions when his own were vanishing, perished as a fugitive in Thrace in 228 BC/227 BC.

About a year later Seleucus was killed by a fall from his horse. He was succeeded by his elder son, Seleucus III Ceraunus and later by his younger son Antiochus III the Great.

Roger Mortimer, 2nd Baron Mortimer, of Wigmore, summoned to parliament from 22 February, 1306, to 3 December, 1326 (from the accession of Edward II in 1307, with the addition of "De Wigmore"). This nobleman, so notorious in our histories as the paramour of Isabel, queen consort of the unfortunate Edward II, was in his sixteenth year at the time of his father's decease and was placed by the king (Edward I) in ward with Piers Gaveston, so that, to redeem himself and for permission to marry whom he please, he was obliged to pay Gaveston 2500 marks, and thereupon m. Joane, dau. of Peter de Genevill, son of Geffrey de Genevill, Lord of Trim, in Ireland. In the 34th Edward I [1306], he received the honour of knighthood and in the same year attended the king into Scotland, where we find him again in the 3rd Edward II [1310], and the same year he was constituted governor of the castle of Buelt, in Brecknockshire. In the 7th, 8th, and 10th years, he was likewise in Scotland and was then appointed lord-lieutenant of Ireland. During the remainder of the unhappy Edward's reign he attached himself to the interests of the queen and, at length, fled with her and Prince Edward into France. Returning, however, and his party triumphing, he was advanced to the dignity of Earl of March soon after the accession of King Edward III and he held a round table the same year at Bedford. But hereupon becoming proud beyond measure (so that his own son, Geffrey, called him the King of Folly), he kept a round table of knights in Wales in imitation of King Arthur. "Other particulars," says Dugdale, "of his haughtiness and insolence were these, viz., that with Queen Isabel, he caused a parliament to be held at Northampton, where an unworthy agreement was made with the Scots and Ragman's Roll of Homage of Scotland was traitorously delivered as also the black cross which King Edward I brought into England out of the abbey of Scone and then accounted a precious relique. That (with the queen) he caused the young king to ride twenty-four miles in one night, toward Bedford, to destroy the Earl of Lancaster and his adherents, saying that they imagined the king's death. That he followed Queen Isabel to Nottingham and lodged in one house with her. That he commanded the treasure of the realm and assumed the authority which, by common consent in parliament, was conferred upon Henry, Earl of Lancaster, at the king's coronation." His career was not, however, of long continuance for, the king becoming sensible of his folly and vices, had him suddenly seized in the castle of Nottingham and conveyed prisoner to London, where, being impeached before parliament, he was convicted under various charges, the first of which was privity to the murder of King Edward II in Berkeley Castle, and receiving sentence of death, was hanged in 1330 at the common gallows, celled Elmes, near Smithfield, where his body was permitted to hang two days and two nights naked before it was interred in the Grey Friars; whence in some years afterwards it was removed to Wigmore.

The Earl of March left issue four sons and seven daus., viz., Edmund (Sir); Roger (Sir), who m., 1321, Lady Joane Butler; Geffrey (Sir), Lord of Towyth; John, slain in a tournament at Shrewsbury; Katherine, m. to Thomas de Beauchamp, Earl of Warwick; Joane, m. to James, Lord Audley; Agnes, m. to Laurence, Earl of Pembroke; Margaret, m. 1st, to Robert, 8th Earl of Oxford, and 2ndly, to Thomas (son and heir of Maurice), Lord Berkeley; Maud, m. to John de Cherlton, son and heir of John, Lord Powis; Blanch, m. to Peter de Grandison; Beatrix, m. 1st to Edward, son and heir of Thomas of Brotherton, Earl Marshal of England, and 2ndly, to Sir Thomas de Braose.

Upon the execution and attainder of the earl, all of his honours became forfeited. [Sir Bernard Burke, Dormant, Abeyant, Forfeited and Extinct Peerages, Burke's Peerage Ltd, London, England, 1883, p. 384, Mortimer, Barons Mortimer, of Wigmore, Earls of March]

Very shortly after his arrival in Salem (then called Pequot harbor),there was a serious outbreak of Typhus, and Thomas moved on to Watertown. His stay there was brief also; from Watertown, Thomas moved on to Charlestown where in 1632 he became a founder of the First Church, his name appearing 34th on the roll. Two years later was granted four acres of land at the line of Newtown (now Cambridge), and by 1637 owned a 10 acre plot.
On 4 March 1633/34, Thomas was made a freeman, and on 23 April 1632 he married Grace Palmer, daughter of Walter Palmer of Charlestown. Two years leter in 1636 the young couple moved once again settling in Hingham, MA, where they remained until 1645.
In 1645 Thomas joined John Winthrop Jr.'s colony of Massachusetts Puritains in the settlement of New London, Conn.

EPIMANES(the Mad) (b. c. 215 BC--d. 164, Tabae, Iran), Seleucid
king of theHellenistic Syrian kingdom who reigned from 175 to
164 BC. As a ruler hewas best known for his encouragement of
Greek culture and institutions.His attempts to suppress Judaism
brought on the Wars of the Maccabees. Early career. Antiochus
was the third son of Antiochus III the Great. After hisfather's
defeat by the Romans in 190-189, he served as hostage for
hisfather in Rome from 189 to 175, where he learned to admire
Romaninstitutions and policies. His brother, King Seleucus IV,
exchanged himfor Demetrius, the son of Seleucus; and after
Seleucus was murdered byHeliodorus, a usurper, Antiochus in
turn ousted him. During this periodof uncertainty in Syria, the
guardians of Ptolemy VI, the Egyptian ruler,laid claim to Coele
Syria, Palestine, and Phoenicia, which Antiochus IIIhad
conquered. Both the Syrian and Egyptian parties appealed to
Rome forhelp, but the Senate refused to take sides. In 173
Antiochus paid theremainder of the war indemnity that had been
imposed by the Romans onAntiochus III at the Treaty of Apamea
(188). Antiochus forestalled an Egyptian expedition to
Palestine by invadingEgypt. He defeated the Egyptians between
Pelusium and Mount Kasion,conquered Pelusium, and in 169
occupied Egypt with the exception ofAlexandria, the capital.
Ptolemy VI was Antiochus' nephew--Antiochus'sister, Cleopatra
I, had married Ptolemy V--and Antiochus contentedhimself with
ruling Egypt as Ptolemy's guardian, giving Rome no excusefor
intervention. The citizens of Alexandria, however, appealed
toPtolemy VIII, the brother of Ptolemy VI, and to his sister
Cleopatra IIto form a rival government. Disturbances in
Palestine forced Antiochus toreturn to Syria, but he
safeguarded his access to Egypt with a stronggarrison in
Pelusium. In the winter of 169/168 Perseus of Macedonia in vain
begged Antiochus tojoin forces with him against the danger that
Rome presented to all of theHellenistic monarchs. In Egypt,
Ptolemy VI made common cause with hisbrother and sister and
sent a renewed request to Rome for aid, andAntiochus prepared
for battle. The fleet of Antiochus won a victory atCyprus,
whose governor surrendered the island to him. Antiochus
invadedEgypt again in 168, demanded that Cyprus and Pelusium be
ceded to him,occupied Lower Egypt, and camped outside
Alexandria. The cause of thePtolemaeans seemed lost. But on
June 22, 168, the Romans defeated Perseusand his Macedonians at
Pydna, and there deprived Antiochus of thebenefits of his
victory. In Eleusis, a suburb of Alexandria, the
Romanambassador, Gaius Popillius Laenas, presented Antiochus
with theultimatum that he evacuate Egypt and Cyprus
immediately. Antiochus, takenby surprise, asked for time to
consider. Popillius, however, drew acircle in the earth around
the king with his walking stick and demandedan unequivocal
answer before Antiochus left the circle. Dismayed by thispublic
humiliation, the king quickly agreed to comply. Roman
interventionhad reestablished the status quo. By being allowed
to retain southernSyria, to which Egypt had laid claim,
Antiochus was able to preserve theterritorial integrity of his
realm. Efforts to hellenize the kingdom. Both economically and
socially he made efforts to strengthen hiskingdom--inhabited in
the main by Orientals (non-Greeks of Asia Minor andPersia)--by
founding and fostering Greek cities. Even before he had
begunhis reign he had contributed to the building of the temple
of Zeus inAthens and to the adornment of the theatre. He
enlarged Antioch on theOrontes by adding a section to the city
(named Epiphania after him).There he built an aqueduct, a
council hall, a marketplace, and a templeto Jupiter
Capitolinus. Babylon, which revered him as Soter (Liberator,or
Saviour) of Asia, was given a Greek colony that was granted
freedom ofthe city. Another Epiphania was founded in Armenia.
Ecbatana (in Persia)was also named Epiphania and became a Greek
city. Many of these citieswere granted the right to coin their
own municipal currency. The mint ofAntioch on the Persian Gulf
served the trade along the sea route betweenIndia and the
district at the mouth of the great Mesopotamian rivers.
Antiochus' hellenizing policies brought him into conflict with
theprosperous Oriental temple organizations, and particularly
with the Jews.Since Antiochus III's reign the Jews had enjoyed
extensive autonomy undertheir high priest. They were divided
into two parties, the orthodoxHasideans (Pious Ones) and a
reform party that favoured Hellenism. Forfinancial reasons
Antiochus supported the reform party and, in return fora
considerable sum, permitted the high priest, Jason, to build
agymnasium in Jerusalem and to introduce the Greek mode of
educating youngpeople. In 172, for an even bigger tribute, he
appointed Menelaus inplace of Jason. In 169, however, while
Antiochus was campaigning inEgypt, Jason conquered
Jerusalem--with the exception of the citadel--andmurdered many
adherents of his rival Menelaus. When Antiochus returnedfrom
Egypt in 167 he took Jerusalem by storm and enforced
itsHellenization. The city forfeited its privileges and was
permanentlygarrisoned by Syrian soldiers. The revolt of Judas
Maccabeus. The Greeks and those friendly toward them were
united into the communityof Antiochians; the worship of Yahweh
and all of the Jewish rites wereforbidden on pain of death. In
the Temple an altar to Zeus Olympios waserected, and sacrifices
were to be made at the feet of an idol in theimage of the King.
Against that desecration Judas Maccabeus, leader ofthe
anti-Greek Jews, led the aroused Hasideans in a guerrilla war
andseveral times defeated the generals Antiochus had
commissioned to dealwith the uprising. Judas refused a partial
amnesty, conquered Judaea withthe exception of the Acra in
Jerusalem, and in December 164 was able totear down the altar
of Zeus and reconsecrate the Temple. Antiochusapparently had
underestimated the strength of the Hasidean movement,which was
behind the success in maintaining an independent Judaean
statefor about a century. The fighting spirit of the Jews was
all the moreimpressive because at the beginning of their
rebellion in 166 Antiochushad just demonstrated his might to
the world at Daphne, near Antioch,with a grand review of his
army: 46,000 foot soldiers were on parade,among them a
Macedonian phalanx of 20,000 men and 500 mercenariesequipped
with Roman arms, followed by 8,500 horsemen and 306
armouredelephants. Antiochus then mounted a campaign against
the Parthians who werethreatening the empire in the east,
recovered the income from that area,forced Artaxias of
Armenia--who had defected--to recognize hissuzerainty, founded
the city of Antioch on the Persian Gulf, set out onan
expedition to the Arabian coast, and, at the end of 164, died
of anillness at Tabae (or Gabae, probably present Isfahan) in
Persis. Manybelievers saw his death as a punishment for his
attempt to loot theshrine of Nanaia in Elam (in modern Iran).
[EncyclopÃŒdia Britannica CD'97, ANTIOCHUS IV EPIPHANES]

Antiochus IV Epiphanes (originally named Mithradates, but renamed Antiochus either upon his ascension or after the death of his elder brother Antiochus) (175 - 163 BC) was one of the Seleucid emperors, son of Antiochus III the Great and brother of Seleucus IV Philopator. Antiochus rose to power after the death of the latter; he had been hostage in Rome following the peace of Apamea in 188 BC but had lately been exchanged for the son and rightful heir of Seleucus IV, the laterDemetrius I Soter. Taking advantage of this situation, Antiochus could easily proclaim himself as co-regent with another of Seleucus' sons, the infant Antiochus, whom he had murdered a few years later.

Notable events during his reign include the near-conquest of Egypt, which was halted by the threat of Roman intervention, and the beginning of the Jewish revolt of the Maccabees. He was succeeded by his infant son, Antiochus V Eupator.

In a spirit of revenge he organized an expedition against Jerusalem, which he destroyed, as well as putting vast multitudes of its inhabitants to death in the most cruel manner. From this time the Jews began the war of independence under their heroic Maccabean leaders with marked success, defeating the armies of Antiochus that were sent against them. Enraged at this, Antiochus is said to have marched against them in person, threatening utterly to exterminate the nation; but on the way he was suddenly arrested by the hand of death (164 BC). The exact causes of the Jewish revolt, and of Antiochus' response to it, are uncertain. His last years were spent on a campaign against the rising Parthian empire, which seems to have been initially successful but was terminated with his death.

The reign of Antiochus was a last period of strength for the empire, but in some way it was fatal; being an usurper and leaving no successor except a little boy, his death was followed by devastating dynastic wars.

Notes in Mary Lou Ramsey's research show a source, "Ancestors & Friends" by Wm. Lusk Crawford, 1980; that reports Walter came to America in March,1629, departing Grave's End England and arriving Salem, Mass. Walter is named as the founder of Stonington, Connecticut. In 1642, Walter and Rebecca moved from Charlestown to Plymouth Colony. On June 4, 1645, he assisted in the incorporation of Rehoboth, Mass. Following the move to Plymouth Colony, more children were born.

As a Separatist Puritan, in an effort to seek religious freedom, on April 5, 1629 he sailed from Gravesend England on a boat called "Four Sisters" - one of six ships; the others being the Talbot, Lyons Whelp, George Bonaventure, Lyon, and The Mayflower.

Walter arrived in Salem, Massachusetts on June of 1629 and settled in Charlestown Massachusetts with his five children and Abraham Palmer, possibly his brother.

Walter was married for a second time to Rebecca Short of Roxbury on June 1, 1633. They were married in Roxbury Church, of which she was a member and Rev. John Eliot its Minister. She was one of the first members of his church upon her arrival in America in 1632. Roxbury was generally settled by the people from Essex and Hertfordshire under the leadership of the Rev. John Eliot who had been the Vicar of Nazeing. Reverend Eliot's records of the Roxbury First Church state: "Rebeckah Short, a maide srvant, she came in the yeare 1632 and was married to Walter Palmer a Godly man of Charlestown Church." Rebecca was to give birth to seven additional children giving Walter a total of twelve.

Walter Palmer died in Stonington on November 20, 1661 and is buried in the Wequetequock burying ground. A rough wolf stone about 9 feet in length covers his grave. The inscription probably added later reads "W. Palmer 1585-1661". The stone lies in the midst of a long line of graves of his children and grandchildren. Nearby is a large monument erected in the memory of the four founders of the area - William Chesebrough, Thomas Minor, Thomas Stanton and Walter Palmer. Rebecca Palmer probably died shortly before June 5 1684. The only known record is the division by sons Nehemiah, Moses and Benjamin of land on that date which "our father left for our mother to divide".


otes for Walter PALMER II:
1. Much research has been done to connect Walter to an ancestral family. Some believe his family was connected to Sir Anthony Palmer - others believe John Palmer of Angmering may be Walter's ancestry. Many records needed for proof have been destroyed or are missing and any records discovered have probably disproved any possibilities.

We have recorded a Walter Palmer and Elizabeth Carter as parents according to the Walter Palmer Society.
And, for interested researchers continuing to link Walter to the John Palmer of Angmering family, we have added
a "!PLACE MARK!" connection from John's family to the Walter Palmer now considered to be Walter's father.

2. Walter Palmer, seeking religious freedom, sailed from Gravesend, Kent, England with his five children and Abraham Palmer(believed to be his brother) arriving in Salem, Massachusetts in June of 1629 in the "Four Sisters", one of a fleet of six ships that also included the "Talbot", "Lyons Whelp", "George Bonaventure", "Lyon", and "The Mayflower" (of the 1620 Pilgrimage). He initially went to Mishawum (Charlestown), Massachusetts where he was listed in the town records as one of the early settlers as follows: Reverend Francis Bright, Engineer Thomas Graves, Ralph Sprague, Richard Sprague, William Sprague, John Meech, Simon Hoyte, Abraham Palmer, Walter Palmer, Nicholas Stowers, John Stickline, and original settler (1625) Thomas Walford. Walter, with his brother Abraham, were made Freemen of Massachusets in 1634. In 1643 he later moved to Seakonk (Rehoboth), Massachusetts where he, William Chesebrough, Richard Wright of Braintree, and Alexander Winchester, were the founders. Of these Richard Wright was the dominant man. Walter joined William Chesebrough in 1652 in Stonington where he was one of the three early settlers to follow William. He settled on the east bank of the Wequetequock Cove

3. Walter was called a non-conformist, he had strong religious convictions which were contrary to the established Church of England. He felt the church had erred in continuing with the pageantry and formality of the Roman Church instead of returning to the simplicity of the early Christian Churches as they had been during their first three hundred years. This could be the reason no baptisms of his first five children could be found in England. He was a large man -- said to have been 6' to 6' 5", weighing 200 to 300 lbs. He was also a man of high integrity, honesty and ability -- these traits were passed on to his children. His sons carried on in the same manner, assuming responsibilities, serving as civic officers, becoming church members and some even became deacons of the Church.

Crest -- A demi-panther rampant guardant, flames issuing from ears and mouth proper, supporting a palm branch.

Motto -- Palma virtuti.
5. Biography from Richard Anson Wheeler's, "History of Stonington, Connecticut, 1649 - 1900", (Press of The Day Publishing Company, 1900):

WALTER PALMER, the progenitor of the family of his name, who first settled in Stonington, Conn., came to New England as early as 1628, with his brother, Abraham Palmer, a merchant of London, England, and nine associates. They went from Salem, Mass., through a pathless wilderness to a place called by the Indians Mishawam, where they found a man by the name of Thomas Walford, a smith. Here they remained until the next year, when they were joined by nearly one hundred people, who came with Thomas Graves, from Salem and laid the foundation of the town, which they named Charlestown, in honor of King Charles the First, June 2q., 1629. It is claimed that Walter Palmer built the first dwelling house in Charlestown after it was organized as a township, on the two acres of land that were assigned and set to him by the authority of the new town. Walter Palmer's inclinations tended to stock raising and farming, but he soon found his land was inadequate to his business, notwithstanding which he continued to reside in Charlestown until 1643. During his residence there he purchased additional real estate, which he improved in his line of business as best he could. While thus engaged he became acquainted with William Chesebrough, who lived at the time in Boston and Braintree, whose business pursuits were similar to those of Mr. Palmer, and after repeated interviews and consultations, they both decided to remove to the Plymouth Colony, and did so remove their families and with others, joined in the organization of the town of Rehoboth, as an independent township, which was continued as such until they should subject themselves to some other government. Such an organization, largely composed of strangers and situated in a remote part of the colony, was not very well calculated to secure their approval. It does not appear that they intended to establish this new township wholly as an independent organization, for as soon as the preliminary steps necessary for its formation were taken, and after its organization was effected, they elected deputies to the General Court of Plymouth. Walter Palmer was a prominent man when he lived in Massachusetts, and was admitted a freeman there May 18, 1631, and held several local offices in that colony, and such was the estimation in which he was held by the first planters of Rehoboth and the confidence that they reposed in him, that his fellow townsmen elected him as their first representative to the General Court of Plymouth, and subsequently re-elected him to that office and also conferred upon him repeatedly the office of selectman and other local offices. His friend Chesebrough, not relishing the way and manner in which he was treated by the General Court of the Plymouth Colony decided to look farther westward for a permanent place of abode. He visited the then new settlement of New London, by the advice of Mr. John Winthrop, which after a thorough examination thereof, it did not answer his expectations, so he concluded to return homeward, and on his way came through the town of Stonington, Conn., where he visited the beautiful valley of Wequetequock, with which he was so well pleased that he decided to make it his future place of abode. When he reached home and described to his wife and family the situation and advantages of this valley, they all approved of it as a desirable place for their home. Mr. Chesebrough and sons immediately commenced operations for the erection of a dwelling house, fixing its site on the west bank of Wequetequock Cove. The salt marsh lands adjoining the cove furnished hay for the stock, and Mr. Chesebrough and Palmer and all the early settlers until they could clear up land and reduce it to cultivation by English grasses for their cattle. Mr. Chesebrough so far finished his house that he occupied it with his family during the year 1649, and so became the pioneer English planter of the new town now called Stonington.

The Connecticut General Court were not satisfied with his locating himself in the wilderness so far away from any English settlement, so they ordered him to report his proceedings to Maj. John Mason, which resulted in a compromise later on between him and said court, wherein and by which he was to remain in his new habitation on condition that he would induce a reasonable number of creditable persons to unite with him in organizing a new township as hereinbefore stated more at large.

Thomas Stanton, the interpreter general of New England, was the first to join Mr. Chesebrough in the new settlement, and obtained a grant from the General Court in March, 1650, of six acres of planting ground on Pawcatuck River, with liberty to erect a trading house thereon, with feed and mowing of marsh land, according to his present occasions, giving him the exclusive trade of the river for three years next ensuing. Mr. Stanton located his six-acre grant on the west bank of Pawcatuck River, .around a place known as Pawcatuck rock, upon which grant he erected his trading house; and subsequently built him a dwelling house thereon, to which he moved his family in 1651, establishing it as his permanent place of abode, where he lived the remainder of his days. (For further particulars see Stanton family). William Chesebrough, in pursuance of his arrangement with the General Court, invited his friend Walter Palmer, then living in Rehoboth, to come and join him here in the organization of another new township. While Mr. Palmer was considering this proposition, Thomas Miner, who had married his daughter Grace, and was then a resident of New London, was also invited to join the new settlement, which he did, by obtaining a limited grant of land of the town of New London, which he located on the east bank of Wequetequock Cove, and built him a dwelling house thereon, to which he moved his family in the year 1652. The town of New London at the time claimed jurisdiction of the town of Stonington and had granted large tracts of land to William Chesebrough and Thomas Miner, and being anxious to assist Mr. Chesebrough in his efforts to induce a suitable number of prominent men to unite with him in settling a new township here, induced Gov. Haynes to accept of a grant of land of three hundred acres, for a farm lying east and southeast of Chesebrough's land, on the east side of Wequetequock Cove. This grant bore date April 5, 1652. Walter Palmer, who was then prospecting for a tract of land suitable for farming, with salt marsh grass land for his stock, ascertained that Gov. Haynes's grant covered the land he wished to obtain, and so visited the governor, with his sonin-law, Thomas Miner, and his eldest son, John Miner, who had previously learned that the Haynes grant of land embraced in its boundaries his son-in-law's land. But after a friendly interview with the governor, Walter Palmer purchased his grant of land in Stonington, by a contract deed which was witnessed by Thomas and John Miner, agreeing to pay the governor one hundred pounds for the place, with such cattle as Mr. Haynes should select out of Walter Palmer's stock. If any disagreement should arise, as to the price of the stock, it should be decided by indifferent persons. Their contract recognized the title to the house and lands occupied by Mr. Miner, and was dated July 15, 1653. Thomas Miner, Sr., was selected to put Mr. Palmer in possession of the land purchased of Gov. Haynes, and did so by a written instrument, embodying therein a conveyance of his own land, and dwelling house, included in the boundaries of the Haynes land (to Mr. Palmer), reserving the right, however, to occupy his said house until he could build another at Mistuxet, now known as Quiambaug, in Stonington. So 1653 marks the time when Walter Palmer came to Stonington to reside. He and his friend Chesebrough lived within a stone's throw of each other, and after life's fitful fever was ended, departed this life, and both lie buried in the old Wequetequock burial place, with Thomas Stanton, the interpreter general of New England. Walter Palmer was a man well advanced in life when he came to Stonington to reside with his family. He was born in London, England, as early as 1585, and at the time of his settlement here had reached the rugged steep of life's decline. The rough exposure of pioneer life, with its deprivations, seriously affected his health, which was so much impaired that as the chill November days had come, "the saddest of the year," he was gathered not to his fathers, but laid to rest in the old Wequetequock burial place, dying Nov. l0, 1661. Of his family, it may be said that he married in England, long before he came to this country. The name of his first wife has never been recorded. He m. 2d, Rebecca Short, who came to this country in 1632. They were joined in marriage June 1, 1633.

William de la Pole, 1st Duke of Suffolk, Marquess of Suffolk, Earl of Pembroke, Earl of Suffolk (b. Oct. 16, 1396, Cotton, Suffolk, Eng.--d. May 2, 1450, near Dover, Kent), English military commander and statesman who from 1443 to 1450 dominated the government of the weak king Henry VI (ruled 1422-61 and 1470-71). He was popularly, although probably unjustly, held responsible for England's defeats in the late stages of the Hundred Years' War (1337-1453) against France.

When his father, Michael de la Pole, 2nd Earl of Suffolk, was killed fighting the French at the Battle of Agincourt in 1415, William succeeded to the earldom of Suffolk. He served in all the French campaigns of King Henry V from 1417 to 1422 and became one of the most trusted generals of Henry VI. In 1428 Suffolk was made commander in chief of the English army in France, but on June 12, 1429, he was defeated and taken prisoner by Joan of Arc at Jargeau. Upon being ransomed, he held his former command until recalled to England late in 1431.

During the next decade Suffolk served as a royal councillor and emissary. He acquired considerable influence in the government by joining the faction of Henry Cardinal Beaufort, which dominated the king, and, after Beaufort's retirement in 1443, Suffolk became Henry VI's chief adviser. In an effort to end the war, he secured a two-year truce in 1444, but he enraged his countrymen by ceding the provinces of Maine and Anjou to France. Nevertheless, he was created Duke of Suffolk in 1448, and this marked the height of his power.

Suffolk's downfall came after the English treacherously captured Fougères--probably with his approval--in March 1449, thereby reopening hostilities. Soon the French recaptured almost all of Normandy. Parliament laid the blame for the disaster on Suffolk, and with great reluctance the king banished the duke from the realm for five years. Suffolk left England on May 1, 1450, but he was intercepted in the English Channel by some of his enemies and beheaded. He died without surviving issue, and his titles became extinct.

Seleucus IV Philopator reigned from 187 BC to 176 BC over the Seleucid kingdom consisting of Syria (now including Cilicia and Palestine), Mesopotamia, Babylonia and Nearer Iran (Media and Persia).

He was compelled by financial necessities, created in part by the heavy war-indemnity exacted by Rome, to pursue an ambitious policy and was assassinated by his minister Heliodorus.

The true heir, Demetrius, son of Seleucus, now being retained in Rome as a hostage, the kingdom was seized by the younger brother of Seleucus, Antiochus IV Epiphanes, even though an infant son, also named Antiochus, was formal head of state for a few years until Epiphanes had him murdered.

Note: One of the founders of the Order Of The Garter. He fought at the Battle of Crecy 08/26/1346 in the Prince's Division. After the battle he was in charge of counting the slain. C. 1346 his wife joan, during his absence, went through a form of marriage, possible under compulsion to William Montagu, Earl of Salisbury. On 11/17/1349, the Pope ordered Joan to be restored to him.

an English nobleman and military commander during the Hundred Years War.

He was from a gentry family in Holland, Lancashire. In his early military career, he fought in Flanders. He was engaged, in 1340, in the English expedition into Flanders and sent, two years later, with Sir John D'Artevelle to Bayonne, to defend the Gascon frontier against the French. In 1343, he was again on service in France; and, in the following year, had the honour of being chosen one of the founders of the Most Noble Order of the Garter. In 1346, he attended King Edward III into Normandy in the immediate retinue of the Earl of Warwick; and, at the taking of Caen, the Count of Eu and Guînes, Constable of France, and the Count De Tancarville surrendered themselves to him as prisoners. At the Battle of Crécy, he was one of the principal commanders in the van under the Prince of Wales and he, afterwards, served at the Siege of Calais in 1346-7.

Around the same time or before his first expedition, he married the 12-year-old princess Joan Plantagenet, Joan of Kent, daughter of Edmund of Woodstock, 1st Earl of Kent and Margaret Wake, granddaughter of Edward I and Marguerite of France, and sole heir of John, Earl of Kent. However, during his absence on foreign service, Joan, under pressure from her family, contracted another marriage with William Montacute, 2nd Earl of Salisbury (of whose household Holland had been seneschal). This second marriage was annulled in 1349, when Joan's previous marriage with Holland was proved to the satisfaction of the papal commissioners.

Between 1353 and 1356 he was summoned to Parliament as Baron de Holland.

In 1354 Holland was the king's lieutenant in Brittany during the minority of the Duke of Brittany, and in 1359 co-captain-general for all the English continental possessions.

His brother-in-law John, Earl of Kent, died in 1360, and Holland became Earl of Kent in right of his wife.

He was succeeded as baron by his son Thomas, the earldom still being held by his wife (though the son later became Earl in his own right). Another son, John became Earl of Huntingdon and Duke of Exeter.
1328 - 1385 Joan Plantagenet 56 56 Countess of Kent
Countess of Woodstock
Baroness Wake
Lady of the Garter (the first such)

Joan Plantagenet, "The Fair Maid of Kent," so called from her extraordinary beauty. This distinguished woman inherited the Earldom of Kent and Earldom of Woodstock, honours of her father, and the Barony of Wake, a dignity of her mother, from which latter peerage she styled herself "Lady of Wake."

She was celebrated as one of the most beautiful women of her time and is said to have been the heroine of the episode upon which the "Order of the Garter" was founded. King Edward III¤ (her first cousin, their fathers both being sons of Edward I), stooped to pick up a garter she had dropped on the ballroom floor. To the guffaws of the crowd, he responded in French, "Honi soit qui mal y pense" (Evil to him who evil thinks), and fastened it about his own leg.

She was married three times.

Marriage(s) and legendary beauty

At the age of twelve, she entered into a clandestine marriage with Thomas Holland of Broughton. The following year, while Holland was overseas, her family forced her into a marriage with William Montacute. As Countess of Salisbury, Joan moved in the highest society. Some historians identify her as the mystery woman who appeared at a banquet in Calais and attracted the attention of every man present. Allegedly, while dancing with the King, the lady lost her blue velvet garter, and this was the origin of the Order of the Garter. It is more likely that Joan's mother-in-law was the woman involved.

It was not for several years that Thomas Holland returned from crusade, having made his fortune, and the full story of his earlier relationship with Joan came out. He appealed to the Pope for the return of his wife. When the Earl of Salisbury discovered that Joan supported Holland’s case, he kept her a virtual prisoner in her own home.

In 1349, Pope Clement VI annulled Joan’s marriage to the Earl and sent her back to Thomas Holland, with whom she lived for the next eleven years. They had four children, then Holland died in 1360. Their children were:

   1. Thomas Holland, 2nd Earl of Kent
   2. John Holland, 1st Duke of Exeter
   3. Joan Holland, married 1) Duke John V of Brittany 2) Edmund of Langley, Duke of York, son of Edward III and Philippa of Hainault
   4. Maud Holland, married Waleran of St.Pol

Joan, now widowed but only thirty-two, was a catch by anyone else’s standards. She had inherited the earldom of Kent when her brother died in 1353. She was strikingly beautiful, with perfect features, auburn hair that reached to her waist, and dark eyes, and was regarded as one of the most desirable women in the country. The Black Prince had been in love with her for years, but his father and mother disapproved. Queen Philippa might have made a favourite of Joan at first, but as her son grew older, she had become concerned about the budding romance between the two cousins, and set herself against it.
[edit]

Marriage again, and life in France

The Archbishop of Canterbury warned the Prince that there could be doubts cast on the legitimacy of any children Joan might bear him, in view of the fact that one of her previous husbands, the Earl of Salisbury, was still alive, but the marriage went ahead with an assurance of absolution from the Pope. They were married in 1361, and almost immediately set sail for France, since the Black Prince was also the Prince of Aquitaine, a region of France which belonged to the English Crown. Two children were born in France, both of them sons. The elder son, named Edward after his father and grandfather, died at the age of six.

Around the time of the birth of their younger son, Richard, the prince was lured into a war on behalf of Pedro the Cruel, ruler of Castile. The ensuing battle was one of the Black Prince’s greatest victories, but King Pedro was killed, and there was no money to pay the troops. In the meantime, the Princess was forced to raise another army, because the Prince’s enemies were threatening Aquitaine in his absence.
[edit]

Husband's death and son's coronation

By 1371, the Black Prince was no longer able to perform his duties as Prince of Aquitaine, and returned to England, where plague was wreaking havoc. It killed Joan’s mother, Margaret Wake, in 1372. Joan inherited her title to add to all the others – Lady Wake of Liddel. In that same year, the Black Prince forced himself to attempt one final, abortive campaign in the hope of saving his father’s French possessions. His health was now completely shattered. Later the same year, a week before his forty-sixth birthday, he died in his bed at Westminster.

Joan’s son, Richard, was now the heir to the throne, and became King on his grandfather's death in the following year. Early in his reign, the young King faced the challenge of the Peasants' Revolt. The Lollards, religious reformers led by John Wyclif, had enjoyed the protection of Joan of Kent, but the violent climax of the popular movement for reform reduced the feisty Joan to a state of terror, whilst leaving the King with an improved reputation. But for Joan, worse was to come. In 1385, Sir John Holland, an adult son of her first marriage, was campaigning with the King in Scotland, when a quarrel broke out between him and Lord Stafford, a favourite of the new Queen. Stafford was killed, and John Holland sought sanctuary at the shrine of St John of Beverley. On the King’s return, Holland was condemned to death. Joan pleaded with her son for four days to spare his half-brother. On the fifth day, (the exact date in August is not known), she died, at Wallingford Castle. Richard, of course, relented, and pardoned Holland, but the damage was done. Joan was buried at Stamford in Lincolnshire. Sir John Holland was sent on a pilgrimage to the Holy Land.

WILLIAM DE MONTAGU, grandson and heir of William, and son of Drew and Aline. He was still under age in 1227, and in 1232-33 was amerced for not taking knighthood. He was heir to his father and his grandfather, and obtained possession of his lands in 1234. In 1236 he confirmed his grandfather's gift of the advowson of Shipton church to Bruton, and in July 1244 made a grant to Christchurch, Hants. He was pardoned a forest trespass in Somerset in 1247. In 1255 he was serving with Prince Edward in Wales, and was summoned for service there from 1257 to 1264. He seems to have been knighted by 1258. In 1259, and again in 1269, he made an agreement with his uncle Philip Basset, and Ela, Countess of Warwick, Philip's wife, respecting Thurlbear and other manors. He married Berthe, whose parentage is not known (m). He died 23 September 1270. The custody of his lands was granted to Philip Basset. [Complete Peerage IX:77, (transcribed by Dave Utzinger)]

William de Montacute had summons to attend the king into Gascony against Alphone 10th, King of Castile, who had usurped the porovince. In the 41st of Henry III (1257), he was summoned to be with the king at Chester on the feast day of St. Peter ad Vincula, well-furnished with horse and arms, thence to march against Llewellyn ap Gryffudd, Prince of Wales. He received a similar summons in the 42nd of Henry III. By his wife, Berta, he left issue, his son and heir, Simon de Montacute.

Lord of Folkingham


Gilbert de Gant, son of Baldwin, Earl of Flanders, by Maud, sister of William the Conqueror, accompanied his uncle into England and, participating in the triumph of Hastings, obtained a grant of the lands of a Danish proprietor named Tour, with numerous other lordships. This Gilbert happened to be at York, anno 1069, and had a narrow escape when the Danes in great force, on behalf of Edgar Etheling, entered the mouth of the Humber and, marching upon that city, committed lamentable destruction by fire and sword, there being more than 3,000 Normans slain. Like most of the great lords of his time, Gilbert de Gant disgorged to the church a part of the spoil which he had seized, and amongst other acts of piety restored Bardney Abbey, co. Lincoln, which had been utterly destroyed many years before by the Pagan Danes, Inquar and Hubba. He m, Alice, dau. of Hugh de Montfort, and had issue, Hugh, who assumed the name Montfort; Walter, his successor; Robert, Lord Chancellor of England, anno 1153; and Emma, m. to Alan, Lord Percy. This great feudal chief d. in the reign of William Rufus. [Sir Bernard Burke, Dormant, Abeyant, Forfeited, and Extinct Peerages, Burke's Peerage, Ltd., London, 1883, p. 227, Gant, Earls of Lincoln]

NOTE: Both Burke and Brian Tompsett agree that Baldwin, [6th] Count of Flanders, was Gilbert's father. However, I cannot find any reference to William the Conqueror having a sister named Maud - the only documented sister I find is Adelaide. Brian Tompsett shows Baldwin VI "the Peaceable," Count of Flanders and Artois, and Richilda, Countess of Hainault and Namur, as the parents of Gilbert, and that's what I'm sticking with.

There is a Hubert de Burgh (d.12 May 1243)earl of Kent who justciar of England (1215-32) and chief governor of Ireland for about a month in 1232. He married three times (according to *Complete peerage* VII:140-142.

In the 3rd edition of the *Handbook of British Chronology*, 1986, reprinted
with corrections 1996 (Cambridge University Press), on p 72, there is:
"Hubert de Burgh (e. of Kent 1227(. Appd. justiciar 15 June 1215."

CP VII:133 says that Hubert's parentage is Unknown. The lengthy footnote
acompanying this remark mentions the Connaught filiation as one of a number
of options. The problem with the Connaught filiation is that Dugdale who
proposed it gave no evidence for it. Vol.IX of *A New History of Ireland* (Oxford, 1984) edited by T Moody et al. follows Dugdale.

A Letter Close of 13 October 1234 addressed to the justiciar of Ireland (Maurice fitz Gerold) refers to Hubert as uncle of Richard de Burgh. Similar sources also confirm that William de Burgh was Richard's father. There is then a high probability that Hubert and William were brothers. [C Ellis *Hubert de Burgh: a study in constancy* (Phoenix House, London, 1952)
192-193; *A New History of Ireland* (Clarendon Press, Oxford, 1984) IX:170
Table 38]. Apart from the fact that Hubert says his mother's name is 'Alice'
(Ellis, 191) and that we now know his place of name (Ellis 188-190), as has
been said above nothing more is known of his ancestry. I amost forgot, there
is some ground for thinking his father's name is 'Walter'.

REGARDING THE ANCESTRY OF LOURIS JANSEN OPDYCK:
As to Louris Jansen Opdyck's ancestry, nothing is known for certain other than his father was Jan op Dyck, but the Op Dyck Genealogy by Charles Wilson Opdyke supplies us with a chart of POSSIBLE ancestors; people of the name who lived for many generations in the Elburg, Gelderland area of the Netherlands, where our Louris was from. Below are his findings (rather the findings of Opdyke's researcher in Europe, Leonard Eckstein Opdycke), arranged in chart form showing the probable generations of the persons described.

GENERATION 3:
-Henric op den Dyck (1425, 1453)
-Albert op den Dyck (1419, 1481)

GENERATION 4:

-Jan Lauren 'Laeven' Dyck (1636) - possible father of LOURIS JANSEN OP DYCK
-Gert Dyck (1617)
-Bernard Dyck (1603, 1617)
-Deric Jansen Dyck, died 1651

GENERATION 8:
-Louwre Jansen (1635).
It is quite possible that this is our LOURIS JANSEN OP DYCK, born 1606 who emigrated to New Netherland. We know from the patronymic form of his name "Jansen" that his father's name was definitely JAN or JOHAN (see Johan and Jan in 7th generation). Louwre Jansen baptised a daughter METTE in the Elburg church December 10, 1635 according to the baptism records of that church.

REGARDING THE DATE AND LOCATION OF LOURIS JANSEN OPDYCK'S BIRTH:
This information received July 31, 1999 from my friend Willem Rabbelier from Holland through the Dutch Colonies Rootsweb Mail List:

In the book:
DE NIEUWE WERELD VAN PETER STUYVESANT
Lucas Ligtenberg
Uitgeverij Balans, 1999
ISBN 90 5018 426 x

on page 282:
"Lourens Janszen van op de Zuiderzeedijk in Elburg (according to archives he himself stated to be born in Husum, Schleswig Holstein 1606), married to Styntje (Christina); lived in 1650 in Rensselaerswijck, owning land opposite Fort Orange. Bought some land later in Gravesend. His family moved to Dutch Kills ('kill' means 'stream' in Dutch), now Queens, and later to New Jersey, together with the Anderson (Andriessen) family".

This book however (in my opinion) cannot compete with the first book mentioned. Although the writer lists an impressive list of works he consulted, he never gives sources to the facts he delivers.

on page 94:
"Louris Jansen, born at the Zuiderzeedijk in Elburg, who worked at the farm of Adriaen Huyberts in Rensselaerswijck in 1650. The same year he got/purchased(?) a kitchen-garden next to the land of Sander Leenderts Glen (a Scot), not far from the 'Hoogeberch, opposite Fort Orange. At that time in possession of three sons and three daughters and a wife Christina, commonly referred to as 'Stientje'".



REGARDING THE IDENTITY OF LOURIS JANSEN'S WIFE:
September 21, 1999 I received an email from David M. Riker, chairman of the Holland Society in answer to my query regarding the parents of Louris Jansen Opdyck's wife. He shared the following:

"When John H. Updike, ( the writer) joined the Holland Society in 1990, I
sent him information showing his ancestor was in Rensselaerswyck near
Albany in January 1650. John H. Updike's grandfather is in the OpDyke (sic)
Genealogy and he sent his birth certificate and his father's to link into
the genealogy. His wife's name was Stijntje Pieters which means
Christina, daughter of a Peter somebody" This information is in the Van
Rensselaer Bowier Manuscripts and on page 41 of abstracts made by A.J.F.
Van Laer, called "Settlers of Rensselaerswyck". We know where Gysbert Op
dyke came from but there is no connection with Laurens Janszen so we do
not know his origin. Both Laurens (Louwris) and Stijntje were using
patronymic names."
ABT 0340 BC - 0285 BC Ptolemy Soter Pharoah of Egypt 1622 - 16 Mar 1694/1695 Stincha Loras Event: Appointed Guardians 16 MAR 1659/60 for her children Peter, Otto, and Johannes, proof that their father was dead by this time.
Event: Engaged 10 MAR 1659/60 to Lourens Petersen

I emailed the HOLLAND SOCIETY and inquired about the identity of Louris Jansen's wife's family affiliation and they informed me that her name was Stijntje PIETERS according to the "Settlers of Rensselaerwyck" by A. J. F. Van Laer (41). They said that this info was discovered while investigating the lineage of John Updike the American author, who was applying for membership in that organization (he is also descended from Louris Jansen). They told me that PIETERS just meant 'the daughter of Peter somebody', so we still don't know who her family was - all we know is his first name.

'PIETERS' is simply the patronymic, meaning 'of Peter'; it is not a surname as such, as surnames were not used by the Dutch until they were imposed upon them after the English took control of New Netherland. 'JANSEN' (son of Jan) as used by her husband Louris is also the patronymic; 'op Dijk' was simply a geographical reference used to distinguish him from any other Louris Jansens.
After her marriage she was referred to as Stijntje LORAS (LOURIS), the first name of her husband.

After Louris Jansen died about 1659 she married LOURENS Petersen, who was from Norway. He had the same first name as her first husband LOURIS Jansen Opdyck (regardless of the spelling variant), so her 'last name' remained the same during that marriage too.

Rel: Methodist
Note: 1860 census for Edray, Pocahontas Co VA shows John & Martha Barlow next door to Henry and Rachel Barlow. In 1870 census Martha is in Henry's household. John Barlow was listed among the first members of the Methodist church on Stony Creek in Edray District, WV, about 1805.
Buried at family cemetery on Red Lick Mountain.
When he bought the land he paid for it in venison at fifty cents a saddle pair. He estimated the number of deer killed by him at fifteen hundred. On the most lucky day of all his hunting career he killed six deer. He didn't count all the bears, panthers, wildcats, turkeys, and foxes he shot.
He was an expert marksman, and passionately fond of shooting, but the rules of his church -- the Methodist Episcopal, of which he was one of the original memebers on Stony Creek -- forbade shooting for prizes. A shooting match was arranged for in the neighborhood, and he attended as a spectator.The main prize was a quarter of beef. Near the close of the match a neighbor proposed to Mr. Barlow to shoot in his place as his substitute. After much solicitation he consented, took careful aim, and pierced the centre, thus gaining the savory prize of fat beef. A scrupulous fellow member felt in honor bound to report to the Presiding Elder,and have the offending brother duly disciplined for the credit of religion. The elder had him cited to appear before the quarterly conference for trial. Brother Barlow meekly obeyed, and put in his appearance. When his turn came on the docket, the Elder said:
"Well, Brother Barlow, you are charged with shooting for a prize. What did you do?"
"I merely shot once,"replied Mr. Barlow, "to accommodate a firend, not for the purpose of getting a prize for myself."
"Did you win the prize?"
"I did."
"Did you get the beef?"
"Only so much as my friend sent me for a mess."
"Was it good beef?"
"Yes, very nice."
"Well, says the Elder, after some apparently serious reflection, and solemn groanings of the spirit, "I see nothing wrong in what Brother Barlow has done, so I will just drop this case and proceed to the next matter of business."
During his last days, while kept at home and out of the woods by the infirmities of age, our venerable friend was asked if he would like tol ive his life over again. He replied: "I have no wish to live my life over again, but there is one thing I would like to do, and that is to have one more good bear hunt on Red Lick Mountain."

--History of the Roush [Rausch] Family in America, Volume II, p. 422:
"Alexander Waddell was born in or near Glasgow, Scotland in the month of February, 1732 . . . the same month and year which saw the birth of another great American, George Washington. We know little of the details of his early life, but we know that there were at least two other borthers, an elder brother William and a younger brother Matthew. The Waddells were said to be prosperous weavers of that vicinity. Alexander Waddell came to America in 1755--tradition having it tht he was accompanied by his brother William, who subsequently became separated from him, William going northward toward New York, and the two brothers never meeting again. A further tradition is that both brothers came to America as soldies under General Braddock who arrived the same year, serving with him in the famous battle and remaining in America to become pioneers in the new country. Little is know of Alexander from the time of his arrival at the age of 24 years until the time of his marriage in 1771 fifteen years later. His service in the various French and Indian Wars which were waged during that period might well account for the absence of detailed records. Undoubtedly he soon found his way to the frontier, where other Scotsmen were going, and probably was frequently in and around the little settlement of Staunton in Augusta County, Virginia, where other Waddells were prominent in the early days of that community. Probably they were related, but the relationship is unknown at this time. It has been suggested that he was one of the famous itinerant weavers who traveled from settlement to settlement doing the fine weaving for the more prosperous families, being welcomed into the household as a craftsman and also a bearer of news of other settlements. We definitely know that in this period he became an expert frontiersman.
There is another tradition which should be included here to the effect that Alexander was married before he left Scotland and brought his family to America, where at some time within this period his cabin was attacked by Indians in his absence, and his wife and children all murdered. The writer is inclined to feel that this was experienced by his younger brother Matthew, and has heard the same tradition related about Matthew. The absence of any available record of any permanent residence of Alexander during this period gives additional weight to this belief.
In the year 1771 we cn imagine the household of John Adam Roush welcoming Alexander Waddell to their home in the Mill Creek Valley near Mt. Jackson, Va. They had not seen him for over a year and his news of the other settlements was warmly welcomed while the womenfolk of the house made haste to prepare the flaxen thread that the expert weaver would transform into beautiful linen. Probably the most excited was nineteen year old Eleanor Roush who had met the mature Alexander Waddell on previous visits, then thirty-nine years old and in the prime of life. We do not know the exact date of their marriage. Their grand-daughter says it was in 1771 or 1772. It is possible that it was in 1770. In any event about 1771 this newly married couple left the comparative safety of the Shenandoah Valley and settled in the heart of the Allegheny Mountains on the very edge of the frontier. The site of this home, which was only to be moved a short distance a few years later to gain the height that Buckeye Mountain afforded, was in Pocahontas County, along the Greenbrier River, just south of Marlinton (now West Virginia). This site was then in Botetourt County, later Bath County and finally in Pocahontas County. Price's "History of Pocahontas County" dwells at length on Alexander Waddell and his descendants. Close neighbors wee the Ewings who later settled in Ewington, Gallia County, Ohio. On the edge of this frontier were many Indian raids, which culminated in the action known as Lord Dunmore's War, and was featured by the Battle of Point Pleasant. Many of the company records of these troops were lost, but it has been shown to the satisfaction of the Daughters of the American Revolution that Alexander Waddell fought in this battle under Captain Arbuckle. Hardesty's "History of Gallia County" states tha Alexander Waddell fought in the Battle of Point Pleasant and mentions the powder horn which it is said he picked up off the battlefield from a fallen Indian. Later during the Revolutionary War, Hardesty says that he fought under George Washington. It is probable that he fought in the southern campaign, as there were in the possession of his descendants for many eyars a watch and a whetstone which Alexander found on the battlefield at Guilford Court House. Another interesting tradition, which seems to be probable, is that Alexander was with Washington at the surrender of Lord Cornwallis, and after the surrender, when the British soldiers and the Americans were mingling, Alexander met his younger brother Matthew who had been drafted into the British service. Matthew left the British and went back to the mountains with Alexander. It is the writer's belief that he married and lived near Alexander, and that some misfortune happened to his family, possibly an Indian attack, and tha only Matthew and one daughter, Agnes, remained alive. Matthew did not remarry and lived with Alexander in Pocahontas County until Alezander's son William came to Gallia County in 1803, when Matthew came also to Ohio and is mentioned in Hardesty's History as the firstschool teacher of Green Township. Hardesty also mentions Alezander having served inthe War of 1812, but in all probability his service was in some local official capacity as at that time he was eighty years old. He remained in Pocahontas County until 1817, when he and his younger son Joseph decided to folow his elder sons to Gallia County, Ohio. The church and school of Alezander was named for him and the sites were given by him. He was a devout Methodist, having joined the church about 1762. His great ambition was to live to be one hundred years of age. He died at the age of 102, September 7, 1834 and was buried in the family graveyard (later to be known as the Hulbert Graveyard) where his tombstone still bears this most appropriate inscription: "A man that fought for liberty But now his soul doth rest in Paradise."
Eleanor (Roush) Waddell died October 9, 1827, aged 75 years, and was buried in the family graveyard. Her tombstone bears the following inscription: (misspelling noted): "Oh what a striking scen-- In this cold grave appears. A Mortal turned to durst again . . Quit -- spun out all her years."

ALEXANDER WADDELL
One of the pioneers of our county from whom quite a number of our people
trace their descent was Alexander Waddell. He was of Scotch-Irish descent and was among the earliest settlers in the neighborhood of Marvin Chapel. His wife was a Miss Rouss. He came from Augusta County before the Revolution, but in what year is not certainly known. He came out to examine the country, and looked over the Levels and the lands beyond Buckeye and around Sewall's Cave, and selected the place so long known as the Waddell Place, where the public road reaches the highest point on the mountain in passing from Buckeye to Millpoint. When he first explored the Levels all was mainly vacant or unclaimed, and he might have entered the greater part of it. He concluded it was too level and gladly, and so he preferred the lands north of Millpoint where he could be high enough to keep in the dry.
Their daughter, Martha, married the late John Barlow, of Edray, mentioned elsewhere. Elizabeth Waddell married William Sharp, near Edray. Ann Waddell married Squire James Sharp of Beaver Creek. Each of these sons-in-law of the early pioneer are specially mentioned in this book as men of prominence in the affairs of the county. Mary Waddell married Squire John Gillilan, near Millpoint. This large family moved to Missouri, where their numerous descendants have their prosperous homes. Jennie Waddell married Josiah Brown, near Edray. Miriam Waddell was married to John Thompson and moved to Ohio. The Waddell sons were John, William, and Alexander. To give his sons a chance to have their homes near him, the venerable pioneer concluded to move to Ohio and settled near Gallipolis. These sons all died on Ohio, and their history is not much known to their friends in West Virginia.
Mr Waddell seems to have been a fervently pious person. It was his intense desire to live on hundred years, and he made this desire for longevity a matter of special prayer. He died in Ohio at the age of one hundred an two years, thus receiving a full measure and more of borrowed time. With long life good satisfied him, and showed him his salvation.
The history of his life shows he had paid good attention to bible reading
where it is written in the thirty-fourth Psalm: "What man is he that desireth
life and loveth many days that he may see good? Keep they tongue from evil and thy lips from speaking guile; depart from evil and do good; seek peace and pursue it." This Psalm was a great favorite with our pious pioneer people, to give them consolation in their times of danger and distress.
Alexander Waddell immigrated to America in 1755. He lived to be 102 years old. Large man, blue eyes, sandy reddish hair.
Alexander Waddell came to America in 1755 with his brother, Matthew &
settled in Bath Co., VA. Matthew, a soldier in the English Army,
returned to England to finish his term of service, then returned &
settled in Stanton Co., VA near his brother Alexander. Another
brother, William settled later in New York & is rumored to have gone
to Canada. Alexander Waddell served in the Revolution & in 1780 moved
to Gallia Co., OH. His land grant or patent was signed by John
Hancock. Alexander was a member of the the Methodist church for 71
years & a friend of John & Charles Wesley, who influenced him to
become a circuit riding preacher. His circuit covered a hundred miles.
He rode a big white horse & was the only minister to officiate at
weddings & funerals in that area. He had 12 children & 140
grandchildren.

Rel: Protestant
Note: Born name is Johann Adam Rausch, anglicized to John Adam Roush. Born in Meinback Over Maschul, Palatinate- Darnstadt, Germany
Died in New Market, Shenandoah County, Virginia
John and Susannah had 9 sons who served in the Revolutionary War. He is buried near Mt. Jackson Va.--History of the Roush [Rausch] Family in America, Volume II, p. 415 says that "nine Roush brothers, Jacob, John, Daniel, Samuel, Henry, Lewis, Michael, George, and Jonas, were soldiers in the Revolution. If so, they were probably in the famous German Regiment of which no roll has been preserved. Public and church records show that these men and their father were living in the vicinity of Solomon's Church and Forestville from 1783 to 1795. Two of them, Jacob and Henry, were enrolled in Capt. John Tipton's company, in 1775. Their father, John Rausch, Sr. died October 19, 1786, and his tombstone may be found in the Old Pine Church graveyard, between Forestville and Rinkerton. " Vol III p 59, the tombstone says: "Anno 1711 Gebohren Johannes Rausch Gestorben Den 19, October 1786" [Translation: The year 1711 Born John Roush Died The 19th October 1786]. It is assumed that his wife Susannah is also buried there.
Johann Adam Rausch Americanized his name upon arrival in the Americas in 1736, and from that point on, he is known as John Adam Roush.
John Adam sailed for America, by way of Rotterdam on the Brigantine John of Perthamboy with Master George Frazer, arriving in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania on October 19, 1736. Upon arrival he immediately went to the Philadelphia court house and subscribed to the "Oaths of the Government". Taking the oath with John, was a fellow passenger, Johannes Sehler. It is believed that he was the father of Susannah, whom John married.
Also sailing to America with John, were 110 fellow Palatinates. German History reveals that there were two Palatinate states. The upper, known as the Bavarian Palatinate and the lower, known as the Rheinish Palatinate. Wars like the "30 year war", (1618-1648) and war with the Spanish Netherlands which was called the "Spanish War of Succession" (1701-1713) had laid waste and destruction to the Palatinates, and during those times, 50% of the people were murdered. John had lost his great great grandfather Johann Wilhelm Rausch in death during the "30 years war". However, hard times were yet to come when war broke out with Louis the XIV when he laid claim to the lands in the "Predatory War" (1667-1697). He was angered when this small country gave refuge to the Huguenots (French Protestants). This disheartened the Palatines and they grew ready for a change to peace and religious freedom. Queen Ann however, offered them a way out. If they would serve the English Navy, by obtaining tar and tar products from New York State for seven years, they would then own the land they had worked. Thousands accepted, and the first ships of Palatines began sailing for America in 1709. Upon arriving in America however, it became apparent that the Queen's representatives had betrayed them and misrepresented the offer, so this began a mass migration to lower Pennsylvania where William Penn was truly offering them land and religious freedom. So John had decided to join them in this new land. Thus, we find the reason that he sailed to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
John Adam is believed to have lived on a farm or in a small community in or near Philadelphia, when he married Susannah Sehler (Sellers) in 1740, and this is where the first eight children are born. By 1761 he and his family are living in Shenandoah Valley, Virginia on their Mill Creek Farm where their 9th child is born. Records indicate that George was Baptized in the Old Pine Lutheran Church in Philadelphia in 1761.
John Adam Roush's land increased from 400 acres to include the Forrestville Tan Yards and with this growth came the need to control the waterways because he had obtained land where he planted Oak trees for the purpose of obtaining their chemicals for use in the tanning of hides, as this was his occupation. This was a very lucrative business in those days because of the many uses for the leather. This was especially true during the Revolutionary War when he supplied leather goods such as saddles and other equipment to the Army. Besides being a most beautiful area, it was a land that was very fertile, and it produced all kinds of grains, vegetables and fruits while sustaining much livestock.
Soon after clearing their lands, the family built the Old Pine Church. John Adam gave the land for the church, the cemetery and a school, while Philip, his first born son provided the house for the Minister. Diaries of the paster, Paul Hinkle give mention of the kindness and generosity of the whole Roush family. When need arose for a new church, John's other son Henry deeded the land for it, with Henry, Jacob, Daniel, George and Jonas contributing to the building of it. Even Susannah, their aged mother was listed on the record as having helped in the building of the church. As the community again through growth, had need of another church, John Jr. promoted and built the church near New Market, calling it the Davidsburg Church.
John Adam was against the institution of slavery and would have no slaves put to work caring for his vast holdings. He had taught his children to love liberty, and that liberty was worth fighting for so when the Revolutionary War broke out in 1775, all nine of his sons fought at one time or another in the Continental Army. When America is called to arms, John himself is too old to serve, so he will be content to send his sons, and stay behind to supply badly needed equipment and saddles to the army that is now home to his beloved sons.
John Adam died on October 19, 1786, exactly 50 years to the day of his arrival on American soil, and was laid to rest in the cemetery of " Old Pine Church", with his wife Susanna who followed ten years later resting beside him. On August 22, 1936, a large granite monument was erected and dedicated to the "Family" of John Adam Roush and the Sons of the American Revolution assisted at the dedication ceremony. An Official S.A.R. grave marker rests at the base of John Adam's old monument that is now encased in glass to preserve it from the elements. This tribute can be seen in the cemetery of the "Old Pine Church", (now called St. Mary's) in Shenandoah Valley, Virginia.
John Adam's son Jacob had fought in the battle of Point Pleasant, so he had returned home with wonderful stories relating to his brothers how beautiful the Ohio River Valley was. He had wanted his parents to take up lands there, however, they were unwilling to leave their beautiful home and start over at that point in their lives, so the family had stayed in Virginia. But now that John and Susanna were gone, he was able to convince his brothers to sell their holdings and migrate to the Ohio Valley, so by 1798 this is where we find all the brothers except Mark and Balser. The latter two choosing to settle farther west, where no other word was heard from them except that Balser may have gone to Tennessee, taking up a squatter's claim at the junction of the Chackee and Clenah Rivers. It is sadly expected that Mark died young, possibly killed by Indians, not too long after the split. Eleanor, Elizabeth and Mary stayed in Virginia to run the Tannery, with Eleanor and her husband Alexander following her brothers to Ohio in 1816 where she settled in Green Township before moving on to Green Mountain Tennessee.
Jacob and Phillip bought two tracts of land lying side by side around Cheshire in Adams County, Ohio, with their brother, Captain John Roush purchasing land that had originally been owned by England. It was a settlement named Graham Station in Adams County Ohio, and the purchase was for 5,850 acres for $5,020.00. John named himself and his brothers Jonas, George, Henry, Daniel and Jacob as owners of the property.
The book "A History of Shenandoah County" by Wayland, has a chapter talking about the Shenandoah Valley Roushes on pg. 721 that was contributed by Rev. L. L. Roush of Rutland, Ohio. It says , "John Roush and his wife Susanna were among the early settlers in Shenandoah County. About 1738 they emigrated from the Palatinate, a small country on either side of the Rhine, near Alsace-Lorraine. It says the causes of their coming to America were religious persecutions, devastating wars and political oppression, but most especially the former. Devout Protestants they were from the beginning and more ardently so later when they espoused the pietistic movement, or "religion of the heart" which even occasioned greater persecution from their Catholic neighbors. First in Pennsylvania and later in the Shenandoah Valley they became active as land owners, tanners, builders of churches, etc. John Roush Senior, took up a tract of 400 acres of land on Mill Creek, a little west of Mount Jackson, and from time to time added and sold until there are more than thirty land transactions recorded in his name or the name of some of his sons.
This man and woman were the progenitors of such a large family of descendants, that offspring can be found in almost every state of the union. They are especially numerous in Mason County, West Virginia, Adams, Highland, Meigs and Gallia Counties, Ohio, to which they emigrated from the Valley in 1795-1800. They were active in the Lutheran faith in those days, and John Roush Sr., lies buried in the old cemetery at Pine Church. The leaning grave stone shows him to have been born in 1711 and died in 1786. The family was largely responsible for the founding of Old Solomon's church near Forrestville in 1793, with a son, Henry Roush, having deeded 2 1/2 acres of land now occupied by the church and cemetery. For this sort of things they have made themselves prominent in the communities to which they went.
Having had personal acquaintance with George Washington and Peter Muhlenberg, their ten sons engaged in the war of independence, some of them remaining in the service until its close, George and Jonas being with Washington when Cornwallis surrendered. Jacob was with Andrew Lewis in the terrible battle of Point Pleasant, West Virginia, October 10, 1774. By nature, they have been a patriotic, home-loving people and have served their country in every conflict from the French and Indian War to the late World War."
This has been a direct quote from the book previously sited. There is still another Paragraph written in the book telling about each of the brother's family lines, but I will quit the quote at this point and move on to other things.

Another source of information "BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES OF SOME OF THE EARLY SETTLERS OF MEIGS COUNTY" By An Old Pioneer Jeremiah Ackley Wolfe states that John Adam lived near New Market which is the county seat of Shenandoah County, Virginia. It mentions that his eight sons, Balser, Phillip, John, Jacob, Daniel, Henry, George and Jonas emigrated to Mason County, W. Virginia.
It also says that the Roushes were known for their easy good nature, simplicity and honesty. It tells a story about a Roush family member that was being codded by a young man who had bragged to his companion that he would get the best of him. The story reads....(word for word)
One, Conway and pal of his, seeing old Uncle Abe Roush coming up the road toward them, Conway said "now watch me cod the old man" and after cordially shaking hands with him and pretending to be so glad to have met him, expressing mock motive and surprise, "don't you know me?" and winking to his chum. On taking another look, the old man said "Oh yes, I remember you. Your father was put in jail for stealing hogs," in a tone intended to be friendly but Conway couldn't appreciate his well meant reminiscence--neither could his pardner see where the cod came in. Nothing so completely baffles one who is full of tricks and deceit himself, as a straight forward simple integrity in another. "Next to sincerity, remember still thou must resolve upon integrity".
It says on page 894 that the average Roush is too slow for this fast age---in business, he is good natured, yields to every request, can't for the life of him say "NO", but is always ready to oblige a friend or sometimes even a stranger with money on usually his name. Repeated losses teach him nothing; he is likely as ever to do it again the first opportunity that presents itself. The Roushes take everything at face value and pride themselves on simple honesty.
The descendents of the Roushes need not be ashamed of the awkward manners, unpolished language or want of knowledge pertaining to trickery and deceit--it is hard to instill into honest minds the slow poison of worldly wisdom.
On page 895 it says that the Roushes were Democrats and stood up for their Democracy as for their Church, ever ready and always willing to give a reason for their faith, honesty, and truth.

~1715 - 1796 Susanna Sehler 81 81 Rel: Lutheran
Note: Born name is Susannah Schlern, anglicized to Sehler. Died in New Market, Shenandoah County, Virginia.
Susanna Sehler..n (the `n` for German female ending) was originally thought to be Schler..n as transcribed from an old paper that was hard to read found at St. James Lutheran Church in Greenville, Tennessee. Schler..n was the transcription made from this newspaper and is mentioned in Book 3 of "The Roush Family in America". No ancestry on this surname could be found. Much of the John Adam information was taken from the 4 Vol. set titled "The Roush Family in America" Volume 1-3 Written 1928, 1942, and 1963 by Rev. Lester Leroy Roush. Volume 4 written in 1979 by Walden F. Roush. Volume 4 of the set gives credit for the pre-American research as being done by Dr. Walter Roush, an educator and resident of Germany. Further reading should include "Thirty Thousand Names" by Daniel Rupp. German translators suggest the Americanized version of the name Sehler could very well be "Sellers".

From USGenWeb, Ohio page:
The Shenandoah Valley Roushes, From: A history of Shenandoah County, Virginia, by John W. Wayland. Strasburg, Va. : Shenandoah Publishing House, 1927. pp. 721-722. Contributed by Rev. L. L. Roush, Rutland, Ohio
John Roush (Rausch) and wife Susannah were among the early settlers in Shenandoah County. About 1738 they emigrated from the Palatinate, a small country on either side of the Rhine, near Alsace-Lorraine. The causes for their coming to America were religious persecutions, devastating wars, and political oppression, but most especially the former. Devout Protestants they were from the beginning and more ardently so later when they espoused the pietistic movement, or "religion of the heart", which even occasioned greater persecution from their Catholic neighbors. First in Pennsylvania and later in the Shenandoah Valley they became active as land owners, tanners, builders of churches, etc.
John Roush, Sen., took up a tract of 400 acres of land on Mill Creek, a little west of Mount Jackson, and from time to time added to and sold until there are more than thirty land transactions recorded in his name or some of his sons.
This man and woman were the progenitors of a large family the descent of whom is now to be found in almost every state of the Union. They are specially numerous in Mason County, West Virginia, Adams, Highland, Meigs and Gallia counties, Ohio, to which they emigrated from the Valley in 1795-1800.
They were active in the Lutheran faith in these early days, and John Roush, Sr., lies buried in the old cemetery at Pine Church. The leaning grave stone shows him to have been born 1711 and died 1786. The family was largely responsible for the founding of Old Solomon's church near Forestville in 1793, a son, Henry Roush, having deeded 2 1/2 acres of land now occupied by the church and cemetery. For this sort of things they have made themselves prominent in the communities to which they later went.
Having had personal acquaintance with George Washington and Peter Muhlenberg, their ten sons engaged in the war of Independence, some of them remaining in the service until its close, George and Jonas being with Washington when Cornwallis surrendered. Jacob was with General Andrew Lewis in the terrible battle of Point Pleasant, West Virginia, October 10, 1774. By nature they have been a patriotic, home-loving people and have served their country in every conflict from the French and Indian War to the late World War.
The children of this family whose descent is now being traced are as follows: Philip, 1741-1820, buried in Cheshire, Gallia Co., Ohio. John, Jr. (Captain in Revolution), 1743-1816, purchased 6,000 A. on the Ohio river in Mason Co., W. Va., to which he moved 1798; left no descent. Jacob, 174?-1830, had shares in the Ohio Land Co.; came to Gallia Co., O. about 1796; buried there. Henry, 1749-1830, came to Mason Co., W. Va., 1798, and to Letart, Meigs Co., O. 1800,
where he is buried. Daniel seems never to have left the Valley. He left no offspring. George, 1761-1850, came with his brother, Captain John, 1798; later to Meigs Co., O., buried in Racine, O. The descent of his thirteen children are numerous in this vicinity. Jonas, 1763-1850, came to Mason County, 1800, where his descent is numerous, buried in Nease Settlement Cemetery. Mary Magdalene, married Lewis Zirkle, whose descent is still in the Valley in the vicinity of New Market. Three of Philip's sons were of the company that formed the third permanent settlement of the Northwest Territory, in Sprigg Township, Adams Co., O. The families of George and Jonas founded at New Haven, W. Va., the first church west of the Alleghany mountains.

Rel: Protestant
Note: History of the Roush [Rausch] Family in America, Vol. III, Chapter I.
Born in Meisenheim, Germany in exile. Johann Abraham's father died during the thirty years war when Johann Abraham was only four years old. After his father's death, Johann Abraham, his two sisters and his mother Anna went to Hornback where he attended Meisenheim School. Friends and his god-father paid Johann's room and board at the school for two years. Anna had taken a position as Lady in Waiting to the Countess of the Royal House of Pfalz-Zweibruecken. Because of the fondness the countess felt for both Anna and Johann, she arranged for an eight year scholarship to be granted him, and paid for the rest of his schooling herself. In May of 1652 he attended the High Latin School at Zweibruecken and after that he continued his studies in Switzerland. Upon returning home, his step-father Barthel Goering tutored him in "Preaching" and by June 1660 he delivered a powerful trial sermon in Baumholder and was ordained minister on July 02, 1660. He married Maria sometime in 1660.
In 1687, he became Inspector of Lichtenberg County and was the Church and School Supervisor. There is also preserved for posterity, as in the parish Church in Baumholder, an early literary work by Johann Abraham Rausch entitled " A Christian Sermon, The Outlaw of War". It is dated 1672, and is very long and scholarly. (From Roush Family in America).

From History of the Roush [Rausch] Family in America, Vol. III, Chapter I: Autobiography of the Late Inspector Johann Abraham Rausch of Baumholder.
"I, Johann Abraham Rausch, Preacher here and Inspector of the County of Lichtenberg was born in Meisenheim in exile, March 9, 1640. My father was Johann Wilhelm Rausch also a paster at Muenchbach, County of Zweybruecken, afterwards at Ober-Moschel, County of Landsberg. My mother Anna Hammerin; my grandfather Bernhard Rausch, innkeeper at Hornbach in the valley. My grandfather on mother's side Johannes Hammerin, mayor of Bergzabern.
My father died anno 1644, and was buried in the church at Ober-Moschel, and I was orphaned at the age of 4 years and 4 months, this being during theThirty Years war. After the death of my father, my mother lived for a short time at Meisenheim and later, with two of her daughters moved to Hornbach. When my mother announced her intention to move, several of my good friends, especially my godfathers, agreed to keep me at Meisenheim school and paid my board and expenses for two years. In 1649 my mother moved from Hornbach to Zweybruecken and served as maid to a Countess who granted me an 8 year scholarship, part at Meisenheim and part at Zweybruecken. In May, 1652, the Gymnasium or Latin High School was transferred from Meisenheim to Zseybruecken. I was also transferred and attended classes there till Spring 1657, and in the same year the University at Basel wher I continued my Studia. After returning from Basel I stayed with my stepfather Barthel Goering who tutored me in preaching and other studies.
When Pastor Herman Kirchner resigned his church post, in June 1660, I journeyed to Zweybruecken to take the examination and deliver a trial sermon. I was immediately called and ordained on the 2nd day of July and from this time on served the Congregation according to the strength and gifts that God bestowed uon me. After the above mentioned, my stepfather, Mr. Goering, died. In 1673 I received a call to serve the Congregation at Cassel but for certain reasons declined it.
When Philips Culman resigned as Inspector and Pastor at Ulmeth, on account of old age, I was entrusted with this Inspection int he year 1687. Officiating as Inspector I have, up to the present time, ordained 12 pastors and installed part of them."
The following is a report of his household.
After living here for about four months he was united in holy matrimony, late in 1660 with Maria Margaretha Faberin,the daughter of Johann Nicolai Faber, innkeeper at Birkenfeld. To this union were born 9 children . At the present time two sons and one daughter are living, as well as 20 grandchildren, out of a total of 32. After 43 years of happy married life with his first wife who departed in 1703, due to old age and longing for home life he married Mrs. Anna Magdalena, the widow of Johann Albert, who was a mayor, and with her lived happily for eleven years. And now we shall tell his life's conduct, sickness and death. God endowed him with fine gifts, healthy understanding, sagacious judgment and excellent memory. These gifts he used and employed so as to be humble before God; discreet, gentle, compatible and conciliatory towards his neighbors. Especially to the poor was he kind and helpful, sober and careful in executing his charge, diligent, and so inclined that his work in the Lord was not in vain but that it would accomplish much for the youth in cathechising, and edifying and consoling to the sick and assailed.
He was a man with a healthy complexion, hence he never was sick. His greatest burden was obesity accompanied with asthma which proved to be his last sickness. Ten weeks after he delivered a sermon based on the gospel of the young man of Nain, which he delivered under a great strain only a few days after his son, who was Pastor at Sobernheim, had been buried (1698) he delivered his last sermon simultaneously touching upon his own funeral sermon. His condition grew worse after this and when dropsy developed, he prepared for the end; singing hymns of praise was his extraordinary pleasure and every evening he would invite his family or visitors to sing several Psalms and spiritual hymns. This he did until the last week of his sickness and always spoke consoling words and prayed often and thereby edified others who visited him. When he felt particular pains he would say: "Hic ute, hic seca, modo ibi parce," and while with passionate desire he was waiting for his hour he remarked, as a light was lit: "Vespera nunc venit, nobiscum Christi Maneto, Extingul Lucem ne patiare tuam."
When someone would ask him about his severe suffering he would reply "Mane in me dulcissime esu, ut ego in te maneaum." He was fully conscious until the end, his memory was not affected and although his speech was affected somewhat, he continued in prayer and often prayed:
O du groszer Gott erhoere,
Was dien Kind gebeten hat
Jesu! den ich stets verebre
Bleibe ja mein Schutz und Rath!
(Translation:)
Oh thou great God
Hear thou the prayer of the child
Jesus, whom evr I revere
Be thou ever my protection and guide.

During the last night he rested quietly and when asked whether Jesus was in his heart he said yes; and when consoled withthe wish of Simeon he spoke these last words: "Yes, mine eyes have seen your Savior" . . . . .After this he remained in continued prayer and devotion, and though as he were sleeping, passed away, gently and blessed, night before last at the age of 74 years and a little over 8 months; in the ministry 54 years, as Inspector 33 years.

Gov. John Evans. This visit was the result of a long cherished plan of his father, that his son might get acquainted with the new country as well as acquire a mode of living more in keeping with his income, he having developed extravagant tastes in England. In a letter to Logan, the father earnestly recommended his son to the society of Samuel Carpenter, Richard Hill and Isaac Norris, in whom he had the greatest confidence."

Carpenter and Preston Family

"Samuel Carpenter, said to have been the first merchant of Philadelphia, and who was at least the first to engage in foreign trade at that port, and at his death in 1714, the wealthiest man in the Province of Pennsylvania, came of "an ancient and noble family of great antiquity" in England. He came to Philadelphia from Barbadoes, bringing a certificate from the Friends Meeting at Bridgetown, dated 6mo. 23, 1683. That he was of English parentage and nativity seems to be proven by the will of his brother Abraham, who died in Trenton, New Jersey, which mentions a sister Mary, a widow, in Lambeth, England; a sister Demaris, wife of David Hunt, of Southwark, England; children of a brother, John Carpenter, "late of Horsham, Essex;" and a sister Dorothy Jupp, also of England. Nothing has, however, been discovered in reference to his parents, or whether they accompanied him to Barbadoes or not. According to Besse, Samuel Carpenter, was among those who suffered persecution for their religious faith in Barbadoes in 1673, but as he was born in the year 1650, he may have gone to Barbadoes to engage in trade about the time of attaining his majority, as he was possessed of ample wealth on his arrival in Pennsylvania. According to Burke's "General Armory" the arms of the Carpenter family of Barbadoes, granted in Ireland, June 11, 1647, were as follows: "Paly of six ar and gu. on a chevron Sa. three plates each charged with a cross pattee gu." Crest,--A Demi-lion rampant, gu. Ducally crowned or. collared Sa. with the motto, Audaces Fortuna Juvat. The crest above described was invariably used by Samuel Carpenter, of Philadelphia, on his seal. His two brothers, Joshua and Abraham Carpenter, were also merchants in Philadelphia for a time, and owned several tracts of land jointly in West Jersey. Joshua was a member of Provincial Assembly of Pennsylvania, 1702-07, and was one of Penn's Commissioners of Property, 1708. Abraham, the other brother, removed to Trenton, New Jersey, and died there unmarried as before recited.

Samuel Carpenter engaged early in foreign trade and had a warehouse and residence on the river front, with a bakery and the Globe Tavern, one of the earliest hostelries of Philadelphia. He lived for many years in the "Slate-roof House" on Second street, site of the Commercial Exchange, where Gov. Penn resided in 1700, and afterwards; John Penn, eldest son of the "Founder," being born there and where the Provincial Assembly met in 1696.

"The first of the Tresse family to come to America was Thomas Tresse, a brother of Hugh Tresse, last above mentioned, who was in Philadelphia at least as early as 1688. He was a prominent merchant, and was associated with Samuel Carpenter, and others in a number of business enterprises; was one of the company, with William Bradford, the printer, Robert Turner, and William Rittenhouse in 1690, organized for the purpose of erecting a paper mill in or near Philadelphia, the interest wherein Turner and Tresse sold in 1701. In 1709 Thomas Tresse purchased 13,000 acres of land on the Manatawney, Hanover township, Philadelphia (now Montgomery) county, and, March 12, 1712, executed a deed of trust therefore to his sister Margaret Tench, and his nephew Thomas Tresse, Jr., including other lands, at Germantown, in the Jerseys and elsewhere, for the benefit of his sisters, nephews and nieces. The wharf of Thomas Tresse adjoined that of Samuel Carpenter, and was on Front street between Walnut and Dock streets."

"There was a constant cry of want of money, where little existed,--of bad markets,--where heaven had most 'blest their store,'--of little value of lands and improvements,--where so much abounded, etc. They feared to invest capitals if they had them, even while the properties they actually held were progressivly, though with small momentum, rising in value to their zenith. Thus, as late as the year 1700 to 1705, etc., we see such a man as Samuel Carpenter, who made the first and most numerous important improvements in Philadelphia and the country, selling them out in vexation and disappointment."

"Was one of the greatest improvers and builders in Philadelphia, dwelling among us at the same time as a merchant. He was probably at one time, if we except the Founder, the wealthiest man in the province. There is extant a letter of his of the year 1705 to Jonathan Dickison, offering for sale part of his estate, wherein he says, 'I would sell my house and granary on the wharf (above Walnut street) where I lived last, and the wharves and warehouses; also the globe and long vault adjacent. I have 3/16 of 5000 acres of land and a mine, called Pickering's mine. I have sold my house over against David Lloyd's [site of the present Bank of Pennsylvlania] to William Trent, and the scales to Henry Babbock, and the Coffee House [at or near Walnut street and Front street] to Captain Finney, also my half of Darby mills to John Bethell, and a hal fof Chester mills, to Caleb Pussey.' Besides the foregoing, he was known to own the estate called Bristol mills, worth 5000 pounds; the island against Burlington of 350 ares; at Poquessing creek, 15 miles from the city, he had 5000 acres; he owned about 380 acres at Sepvisor plantation, a part of Fairhill, where he died in 1714....James Logan, in writing to the proprietaries respecting him, says, 'He lost by war of 1703, because the proffitable trade he before carried on almost entirely failed, and his debts coming upon him, while his mills and other estate sunk in value, he could by no means clear himself, and from the wealthiest man in the province in 1701, he became much embarrassed.' Isaac Norris, in his letter of the 10th of 6 mo. 1705, to Jonathan Dickinson, says of him, to wit: 'that honest and valuable man, whose industry and improvements have been the stock whereon much of the labours and successes of this country have been grafted, is now weary of it all, and is resolved, I think prudently, to wind up and clear his incumbrances."

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 (they are still there) to the priory at Aconbury, founded in the memory of Maud de St Valery by her daughter Margaret.

He was plagued throughout his life by a series of legal battles over land rights with his female relatives.

See Cottages of Tetbury.


William de Braose, in the 41st Henry III [1257], when Llewellyn ap Griffith menaced the marches of Wales with a great army, was commanded by the king to defend his own marches about Gower, and the next year he had a military summons to attend the king Chester. In two years afterwards, he was again in arms under Roger de Mortimer against the Welsh, and was one of the barons who became pledged for King Henry, abiding the award of Louis, King of France. He d. in 1290, leaving by Isabel de Clare, his first wife, a son, William de Braose. [Sir Bernard Burke, Dormant, Abeyant, Forfeited and Extinct Peerages, Burke's Peerage, Ltd., London, 1883, p. 72, Braose, Baron Braose, of Gower]

----------

Peter de Braose, half-brother of William, Lord Braose, of Gower. Peter's son, Thomas, was found heir to his grandmother, Mary de Ros (his grandfather, William de Braose's 2nd wife). [Sir Bernard Burke, Dormant, Abeyant, Forfeited and Extinct Peerages, Burke's Peerage Ltd, London, England, 1883, p. 73, Braose, Barons Braose]

NOTE: From the above information it is certain which William de Braose was Peter's father, for only this one William was summoned to parliament as a baron. However, in attempting to connect Mary de Ros to William, there are some pretty glaring date inconsistencies. e.g., William died in 1290, and Mary wasn't born until around 1298. It's possible the approximated year of birth for Mary is somewhat off, but surely not that far off. According to Burke, her father, William de Ros, was b. 1255, thus, she could have been born as early as perhaps 1271. Her father d. in 1316, and her grandfather died 16 June, 1285. Her 2nd husband, Thomas of Brotherton, was born 1 June, 1300. Had she been born as early as 1271, she would have been 29 years older than her 2nd husband. It's almost as if there had been two separate individuals named Mary de Ros, yet Burke says "Mary m. 1st, to William Braose, and 2ndly, to Thomas de Brotherton, Duke of Norfolk."
~1255 Aline de Multon ~1198 - 1232 John de Braose 34 34 John de Braose, Lord of Gower, born c1197, died 18 July 1232 at Bamber, co Sussex from a fall from a horse; married 1219 Margaret, died 1263, daughter of Llewellyn ap Iorwerth, Prince of Wales. [Magna Charta Sureties]

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

Nicknamed "Tadody" by the Welsh when he was hidden in Gower as a child after King John had his father and grandmother killed. He was later in the custody of Engelard de Cigogny (castellan of Windsor) along with his brother Giles. Cigogny was ordered to give the two boys up to William de Harcourt in 1214. At this time John became separated from his brother. He was present at the signing of the Magna Charta in 1215.

John disputed his uncle Reginald's claim to the Braose lands, sometimes resorting to arms. Llewelyn, Prince of Wales, helped him to secure Gower (1219). In 1221, with the advice and permission of Llewelyn, he repaired his castle of Abertawy (Swansea). He purchased the Rape of Bramber from Reginald and his son William in 1226. In that year John confirmed the family gifts to Sele Priory, near Bramber, and to the Abbey of St FLorent, Saumur, and added others. After the death of Reginald (1228) he became Lord of Skenfrith, Grosmont, and Whitecastle, the three Marcher castles, by charter from the king but he lost these in 1230 to Hugh de Burgh at the same time as Gower became a subtenancy of de Burgh's Honour of Carmarthen and Cardigan.

See Castle of Abertawy, Swansea

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

Joan de Braose, surnamed Tadody, had been privately nursed by a Welsh woman at Gower. This John had grants of lands from King Henry III and was also possessed of the Barony of Brembye, in Sussex, where he died in 1231, by a fall from his horse, his foot sticking in the stirrup. He married, it is stated, Margaret, dau. of Llewellyn, Prince of Wales, by whom (who m. afterwards Walter de Clifford) he had a son, his successor, William de Braose.

Henry of Bolingbroke was the oldest surviving son of John of Gaunt and grandson of Edward III <ed3.htm>. While his father was fighting for the crowns of Castile and Leon, Henry supported the Lords Appellant, who opposed the authority of his cousin, King Richard II <richard2.htm>, but later he changed sides. In 1390s Henry served with the Teutonic Order in Lithuania and traveled to Cyprus and Jerusalem. Banished in 1398 for his quarrel with the Duke of Norfolk, Henry was deprived of his lands when Richard II confiscated the estates of Lancaster upon John of Gaunt's death (3/4 Feb 1399).
In July 1399, whilst Richard II was absent in Ireland, Henry landed at Ravenspur in Yorkshire. He marched across central and western England winning popular support. Richard returned to England, but was abandoned by his allies and surrendered in August 1399. On 30 Sep 1399 the Parliament that had been summoned to assemble on this date convened and approved Richard's abdication. The assembly also assented to the articles of deposition and acclaimed Henry, who claimed his right to the crown by his descent, as King of England. An attempt to restore Richard II in early 1400 cost the former king his life. In Wales Owen Glendower headed the revolt against the English and a number of expeditions sent to subdue it was unsuccessful. In 1403, Henry's supporters, the Duke of Northumberland and his son, Henry Percy (Hotspur), allied themselves with the Welsh and the party of Edmund Earl of Mortimer, who had a better claim to the throne than Henry IV. The rebels were defeated by Henry at the Battle of Shrewsbury (21 Jul 1403). Another rebellion in the north (1405), led by Mowbray and Richard Scrope archbishop of York, ended up with executions including that of the archbishop. About that time Henry began to suffer from sore disease and was forced to nominate a council (1406) and govern by its advice. With Archbishop Arundel as his chancellor, Henry still controlled the government, but in 1410 the king's son, Henry Prince of Wales (later King Henry V <henry_5.htm>), assumed the real power. Although the king discharged the Prince and his supporters, the Beauforts, in November 1411, his health was failing steadily and he died in the Jerusalem Chamber after praying in the Westminster Abbey on 20 Mar 1413.
Notes: 1 Henry was probably born on 3 Apr 1366 — the day of the victory of Edward the Black Prince at Nájera. Also, it is possible that he was born during 1367, since in the summer or autumn of this year two messengers bringing news of the birth were separately rewarded by the infant's paternal grandfather King Edward III and his eldest son, the Black Prince. However, this might refer to another birth, that of an infant son of the Duchess Blanche, who did not survive.

He became king of Austrasia in 623 and at the death of his father the sole king of the Franks. By 632 he had also brought Burgundy and Aquitaine under his rule, becoming the most powerful of the Merovingian kings and the most respected sovereign in the West. He made Paris his capital. St. Éloi (588?-659) was Dagobert's principal adviser, and his rule was marked by the building of numerous monasteries and the strengthening of the royal power. At his death the Frankish kingdom was divided between his sons.

King of Austrasia, King of France, Greatest of Merovingian Kings - Dagobert I, King des Francs. Born: in 603, son of Clotaire=Chlothar II, King de Soissons and Bertrude, Some sources assert that Dagobert I was born in the year 606. Note - between 623 and 629: Dagobert I became King of Austrasie in 623 and King of the Franks in 629. At the age of about 25 years, Dagobert, son of Clotaire II and of Bertrade, takes over the succession without difficulty. He must first determine the fate of his half-brother Charibert (son of Queen Sichilde), for whom his uncle Brodulf wanted to yield at least Neustria. Dagobert does not cimply and purely eliminate his half-brother, but he sends him to Aquitaine by yielding to him the cities of Saintes, Perigeux, Toulouse, Cahors, Agen and the countryside between Garonne and the Pyrenees whose residents had taken advantage of the troubles in the kingdom to ally themselves with the Basques. Dagobert wins Dijon and also Saint-Jean-de-Losne where he lives for a few days and meets out justice. The day of his departure from Losne to Chalon, as he bathes before sunrise, he has Brodulf, Uncles of his half-brother Charibert, assassinated, the murder being executed by two of Dagobert's sons and the patrician Guillebaud. In 630, he negotiates a Treaty with the Emperor of Byzantium, Heraclius, a perpetual peace through the intermediary of his envoys, Servais and Paterne. Upon his return to Paris, Dagobert repudiates his wife Gomatrude, sister of Queen Sichilde, herself married to the deceased Clotaire II, Dagobert's father. He immediately, in 631, marries Nanthilde, a simple housekeeper. The reign of Nantilde lasts only a few years. Dagobert surrounds himself with other women, Vulfegonde, then Berthilde, finally Raintrude, an Austrasian, whom he took as concubine in the eighth year of his reign. He was skillfully taught and supported by his Ministers Saint Eloi [who was Dagobert's treasurer and then became Bishop after Dagobert died] and Dadon [alias Saint Ouen, who became Bishop of Rouen in 641 and who was instrumental in the founding of several monasteries including those of Saint-Wandrille, Rebais, and of Jumieges]. He fought the Austrasians and gave them his son, Sigebert, as next king at age 3 [in fact the Bishop of Cologne and a Duke will govern in his name] . With the Austrasian armies and the support of the Saxons and the Lombards, Dagobert overwhelms the Wendes [Slavic resident of the area between the Oder, the Elbe and the superior branch of the Danube] at Wogalisbourg (in Styria, near Gratz) in 632]. He fought the Gascons, the Slavs and the Saxons. He was the last direct Merovingien King, he was able to delay the dissolution of the Frankish Empire. In December of 638, Dagobert is stricken with an intestinal disease in his domaine of Epinay-sur-Seine, and trusts his Mayor of Neustria, Aega, the fate of his wife Nanthilde as well as that of his son Clovis II. On 19 January 639, Dagobert has himself transported to Saint-Denis, where he dies in one of the buildings adjoing the Basilica. He is the first Monarch of France to have chosen Saint-Denis as the final restiing place. It is there that Saint Denis was martyred in the third century, along with his companions Saint Rustique and Saint Eleuthere. In the fifth century, the Gallo-Roman cemetery was levelled and the basilica built. Married before 626: Gomatrude; Gomatrude was the first of five wives. Married before 629: Ragnetrud d'Austrasie; Ragnetrud was the third of Dagobert I's five wives. Married before 634: Nantechild. Died: in 639.  King of Austrasia 623-632 & King of the Franks 629-639 - In 623, Dagobert's father, Chlotar II, King of the Franks, made him king of Austrasia to please the leading Austrasian nobles: Mayor of the Palace Pepin I and Saint Arnulf, Bishop of Metz. When Chlotar died in 629, Dagobert became sole King of the Franks, and he moved his capital from Austrasia to Paris. Later, Dagobert left the council of Pepin for a more flexible Neustrian Mayor of the Palace. In 632, he was forced to put his three-year old son Sigebert on the throne of Austrasia as the nobles were in revolt, however Pepin was not made his Mayor of the Palace. The Neustrian nobles then wished to unite with Burgundy, and so they urged Dagobert to put his son Clovis II as king of both those kingdoms, although he was only 5 years old and could be easily manipulated by the nobles. When Dagobert died in 639, the nobles of the kingdoms controlled both his sons, now puppet kings.

Kamber (Cymryw), Duke of Cambria and Cornwall, whence Cambria. Eventually, when these three had reigned in peace and harmony for a long time, Humber, the King of the Huns, landed in Albany. He met Albanactus in battle, killed him and forced the people of his country to flee to Locrinus. As soon as Locrinus heard the news, he persuaded his brother Kamber to join him in an alliance. Locrinus called up all the young men of his country and went out to meet the King of the Huns somewhere near the river which is now called the Humber. When the two forces made contact, Locrinus forced Humber to flee. Humber retreated as far as the river and was then drowned beneath its waters, giving his name to the stream. Once he had gained victory, Locrinus distributed the spoils of the enemy among his allies, keeping back nothing for himself except the gold and silver which he found on board their ships.

1030 BC - 1065 BC Gwendolyn Guendoloena was Locrinus' 1st and lawful wife. She raised an army in her father's kingdom of Cornwall, which she used to battle her husband, who had taken another wife as his Queen.

Price's Historical Sketches of Pocahontas Co, WV (reprinted by McClain Publishing, Parsons, WV, 1963; originally published by Price Brothers, Marlinton, WV, 1901):

"Among the persons settling in what is now Pocahontas County early in the [nineteenth] century, John Sharp, Senior, a native of Ireland, is richly deserving of more than passing notice. He is the ancestor of the families of that name that constitute such a marked proportion of the Frost community, and have been identified with that vicinity for the past 91 years. Previous to the Revolution, he came in with the tide of Scotch-Irish immigration that spread over Pennsylvania and New Jersey, and thence moved south, and finally located in Rockingham County, VA. His wife was Margaret Blaine, whose previous residence was in the vicinity of Rawley Springs. She was a relative of Rev. John S. Blaine, one of the pioneer Presbyterian ministers in our country.

After a residence of several years in Rockingham County, Mr. Sharp came to Pocahontas to secure land for the use of his large and industrious family, and he succeeded well, and saw them well fixed in life all around him. He reached Frost in 1802... His land possessions reached from the Gibson Farm, near Frost, up the West Branch to Armnius Buzzard's, near Glade Hill. He had property in The Hills, on Thorny Creek, and on Buffalo Mountain beyond Greenbank, and the most of these lands succeeded in the possession of his descendants.

He was small in person, blue eyes, light hair, and of florid complexion. He was constantly employed. Mrs. Sharp was quiet in all her ways, very diligent in her duties, and patiently met and endured the toils and inconveniences of living in the woods. These persons were pious, and some of the first religious meetings ever held in the vicinity of Frost were in their house."

He married the beautiful Thyra Dannebod (Ornament of Denmark), daughter of Harold Klak. They had twin sons, Knud and Harold, rivals in glory. Knud was the favorite of his father, and had been absent sometime, and the King fearing his death had vowed to kill the one that brought the news of his death. Finally the notice of his death was given and the Queen, not risking to tell it to the King, made all the courtiers observe an unusual silence at the table and had the apartment covered with black. Guessing the reason, Gorm cried out: "Surely Knud, my dear son, is dead as all Denmark is mourning." "Thou sayest so, not I." answered the Queen; upon which the King sickened with grief and died in a good old age, in 941. ~0560 son Prince of Kamsarakan 0894 Thyra 0860 - 0899 Harald Parcus 39 39 0860 Bertrade 0860 - 0885 Frodo 25 25 1080 - 1125 Berenger von Sulzbach 45 45 Count 1084 - 1126 Adelaide von Wolfratschausen 42 42 1058 - 1085 Gebhard von Sulzbach 27 27 Count 1060 - 1101 Irmgard von Rot 41 41 1025/1038 - 1080 Gebhard 1030/1035 - 1083 Adelheid von Nordgau ~0530 son Prince of Kamsarakan 0860/0865 Ita 0839/0840 - 0879 Udo Count of Lahndau 0900 Maria von Argengau 0870/0880 - 0917/0920 Ulrich Count of Argengau 0885/0895 Wendelgarde 0850 - 0893 Ulrich 43 43 Count of Argengau 0818 - 0885 Ulrich 67 67 Count of Argengau 0825 - 0886 Berta 61 61 0788 - 0830 Ulrich 42 42 Count of Argengau 0756 - 0820 Ulrich 64 64 Count of Argengau ~0500 son Prince of Kamsarakan 0684 - 0727 Nebi Huoching Theobold 43 43 Duke of Allemania 0685 Hersinda 0659 - 0709 Godefroy 50 50 Duke of Allemania 0660 daughter 0305 daugher 0631 Regintrude ~0980 Matilde de Bourgogne 0586 - 0624 Chrodaold 38 38 0590 daughter ABT 0398/0400 - 0448 Clodion von Koln # Occupation: Salic Franks' King.

city, capital of the Moselle département, Lorraine région,northeastern France, at the
confluence of the Moselle and Seille rivers, northwest ofStrasbourg and south of the
Luxembourg frontier. It was partly rebuilt and its suburbsconsiderably extended after World
War II.

Metz derives its name from the Mediomatrici, a Gallic tribe whomade it their capital. It was
fortified by the Romans. In the 3rd century it was evangelized,and it became a bishopric in
the 4th century. After being plundered by the Huns in the 5thcentury, the city passed under
Frankish domination. In 843, at the partition of the CarolingianEmpire, Metz became the
capital of Lorraine. During the Middle Ages, the city was a freetown within the Holy Roman
Empire and grew prosperous. After the Reformation in the 16thcentury, when Metz became
Protestant and was in danger of being subjected to persecution,Henry II of France (reigned
1547-59), though a Roman Catholic, offered to defend it,successfully withstanding a siege
by Charles V, the Holy Roman emperor, in 1552. The Frenchcontinued to occupy the town;
and in 1648, at the Peace of Westphalia, it was ceded to Francewith Toul and Verdun.

During the 1870-71 Franco-Prussian War the French troopsretreated into Metz after an
indecisive battle. The Germans besieged the town, and 54 dayslater the French were forced
to capitulate. Metz was returned to France after World War I.During World War II it was
occupied by the Germans and in 1944 was liberated only after along battle.

Metz has pleasant promenades along the banks of the MoselleRiver, which divides into
several arms as it flows through the city. The Gothic cathedralof Saint-Étienne was originally
formed when two 12th-century churches were joined into a singleedifice. The transept and
the nave, one of the highest of French Gothic churches, havehuge pointed windows. The
two towers were begun in the 13th century. The cathedral hasremarkable 13th- and
14th-century stained-glass windows, as well as contemporary onesby the painters Marc
Chagall and Jacques Villon. The old city gate, the Porte desAllemands (Gate of the
Germans), built in the 13th and 15th centuries, which was partlydestroyed during World
War II, has imposing crenellated towers. The museum has acollection of Gallo-Roman
antiquities, which are exhibited in the vestiges of Roman bathsdiscovered in 1935.

Metz, a railway junction on the Nancy-Luxembourg line, is alsothe centre of a complex road
and motorway network and is located in a commanding position onthe canalized Moselle. It
is also near the Lorraine iron-mining basin and near the Mosellecoal mines. The manufacture
of automobile, electrical, and mechanical equipment and of foodproducts (brewing, canned
foods) and the processing of tobacco are among the mainindustries. The University of Metz
was founded in 1971. Pop. (1990) 123,920.

721 Toulouse
A mixed force of Aquitanians and Franks (Duke Eudo) defeat an Arab army (al-Samah) near Toulouse (Collins, 1983; Heath, 1980). The Franks quickly surround and kill Al-Samah and most of his force for the loss of only 1,500 men. .

729
The Berber leader Munnus rebels in Cerdanya, but despite being allied with Duke Eudo of Aquitaine, the rebellion is suppressed (Collins, 1983).

732 Tours and Poitiers
Tours
An Arab Army (Abd al-Rahman al-Ghafiqi) defeats a Aquitanian force (Duke Eudo) on the Garonne near Bordeaux (Collins, 1983; Heath, 1980). The Arabs then set about pillaging Aquitaine.
Poitiers
Eudo rallies Frankish reinforcements (Charles Martel) who catch the Arab raiders near Poitiers (Collins, 1983; Heath, 1980). Abd al-Rahman covers the retreat of his baggage train for some days, but eventually has to stand and fight to protect the loot. In the subsequent battle, the Franks, fighting mainly as infantry, defend high ground against repeated Arab Cavalry attacks. Toward evening Eudo and his Aquitanian Nobles ride around the flank of the Arabs and start looting the baggage train. Some Arab Cavalry move to defend the baggage, but other units, believing the Cavalry are retiring, break. Confusion spreads and Abd al-Rahman is killed by Austrasian spearmen. the Arabs break when they discover are leaderless, and leave the field. There is no Frankish pursuit. (Arab sources record this as a 2 day battle.)

Walter received large baronies in Devonshire and Somerset. His chief domain was at Bampton, and from him descended the Barons of Bampton. Ralph de Conteville was his under-tenant in Devonshire at Huish, Chapel Allerton and Admer. Ralph was a close kinsman of the Count of Mortain, the King's half brother which seems to bear some signifiance.

The surname of Tracy accrued to this family from a maternal ancestor, descended from the Tracys, Lords of Barnstaple, in the county of Devon, who came in with the Conqueror, and were styled from the town of Traci in Normandy. (Burke's Genealogical and Heraldic History of the Landed Gentry: Including American Families with British Ancestry, by Sir B. Burke, 1939; or Genealogical & Heraldic History of the Extinct & Dormant Baronetcies of England, Ireland, & Scotland, by John Burke, 1844)

The name of Tracy is from the Le Sire de Traci, a Norman Baron who went to England with the army of William the Conqueror and fought at the Battle of Hastings, his name appearing on the "roll of Battle Abbey". The Barony of Barnstaple was given to his son, Henry de Traci, by King Stephen, in consideration of his loyalty and services to the King in the county of Devon and the western parts of England. (Tracy Genealogy, being some of the Descendants of Stephen Tracy of Plymouth Colony, 1623, compiled by Sherman Weld Tracy, 1936)

Henry settled in the county of Devon and was the only man of noble birth in that county who stood firm to the king during the invasion of the Empress Maud, and, as he was an excellent soldier and rendered considerable service in those western parts, as a recognition of his loyalty, King Stephen gave him the honor and Barony of Barnstaple, which had formerly been enjoyed by Iahel, the son of Alured de Torneis.

Mother also said to be: 1. unknown; 2. Sybilla Corbet.

Some histories shown him as Judiarch of Narbonne and Exilarch of Bagdad, and secretly a prince of the house of David. This theory derives from Arthur Zuckerman's book, "A Jewish Princedom in Feudal France, 768-900" (New York, 1972), the thesis of which is not accepted by all historians. Regardless, William was a very impressive individual about whom the largest body of heroic poetry in medieval France, the "Saint William cycle" of chansons de geste, developed in the centuries following his death. According to Pierre Bétourné d`Haucourt in"Héraldique et Génealogie, 1981, p.363: Guilhem, Margrave of Toulouse,later monk at Gellone, canonised as St. William of the Desert (St.Guilhem du Désert), * ca. 752, +812. The remains of the monastery where he resided and which was named after him (Saint-Guilhem-le-Désert) were transported to New York and re-built in the Cloisters complex of the Metroploitan Museum of Art earlier the 20th century. Additionally, David H. Kelley identifies him as the exilarch Natronai, both are questionable, especially in view of the Roman destruction of Jersalem and it's genealogical records in 70 CE. Although it should be noted that Charlemagne did bring back a Jewish official to Germany and this is supposed to be the father of Guillaume.

Randy Jones <randyj2222@yahoo.com> identifies his father as Thierry or Theuderic d'Autun and his mother as Alda de Francia. There is no supporting evidence for this, so I am going with the limited data as above and that of the Endfield-Bryant Genealogy. JCT 12/23/2000

T he Normans under Richard were able to re-establish their autonomy and from 947 Richard govern ed in relative peace. In 965 he swore allegiance to the Carolingian king Lothar at Gisors . Richard's official marriage was to Emma, daughter of Hugh the Great; they had no children , but by his common-law wife Gunnor, a Dane, he had many. Richard II, son of Gunnor and Rich ard I, succeeded his father in 996, another son Robert was archbishop of Rouen from 989 to 10 37 and Emma their daughter became queen of England on her marriage to Aethelred, a position s he maintained after his death in 1016 by marrying Cnot (sic: Cnut/Knut...Curt). Gunnor's nep hews and other relatives furthermore formed the core of the new aristocracy which developed i n the course of the eleventh century.

0958/0965 Heloise de Guisnes ~0826 - ~0857 Wrymund 31 31 ~1050 Walter de Caen b? 1076/1077, Caen, Normandy, France

The first of the family on record by the name of Peyton was Reginald de Peyton, second son of Walter, Lord of Sibton, younger brother of Mallet, sheriff of Yorkshire. This Reginald held the lordships of Peyton Hall, in Ramshold, and Boxford, in Suffolk, of Hugh de Bigod; he was stewerd to Roger Bigod, Earl of Norfolk, and gave lands to the monks of Thetford, to pray for the soul of Hugh Bigod. He had two sons, William, who held certain lands in Boxford, of the fee of the abbey of St. Edmundsbury, as appears by charter of his nephew John, and John de Peyton. [John Burke & John Bernard Burke, Extinct and Dormant Baronetcies of England, Ireland, and Scotland, Second Edition, Scott, Webster, & Geary, London, 1841, p. 408, Peyton, of Isleham]
The Domesday book states that Walter de Caen was Lord of Sibton, given to him by Robert Malet's mother (William Malet's widow). The giving of Sibton to Walter de Caen by William Malet's widow implies some relationship, possibly brother (but most likeley bastard son--see below). See Domesday Book for history of Sibton.
The following quotation from the "Butler Family History" indicates that Walter is son of William Malet, which would explain the age difference between Walter & William (ie. they weren't brothers as indicated above.}: Theobald Blake Butler, a leading authority on the history of the family, who died only this year [1965] and whose works are now available to scholars in the National Library, Dublin, the British Museum and the Irish Genealogical Research Society, laboriously traced back to Domesday the lands which this family subsequently held in East Anglia and Lancashire and discovered that at least nine of the sixteen or more holdings which our Hervey was believed to have owned in Norfolk and Suffolk were entered in Domesday Book under the ownership of Walter de Caen. The discovery led him to surmise that the paternal ancestor of the Butlers was Walter de Caen (son of William Malet who accompanied the Conqueror and, being half Saxon, was entrusted with the burial of King Harold after the Battle of Hastings).
Based on the "Butler Family History" and the approximate birth dates, I am making Walter de Caen son of William Malet. I think, however, that the name implies an illegitmate birth, so he may not be the son of Walter's wife, even though her giving him Sibton would imply blood relationship. Perhap he was son of her, but not William Malet?

The date of his birth is not known, and his origin is obscure; all that is known is that he was'of Breton race. In the hope of pacifying Brittany, Louis the Debonair named him count of Vannes in 819 and governor or duke of Brittany in 826. Throughout the reign of Louis, Nomenoe's fidelityto the emperor never flagged; he put down several attempted insurrections, and maintained peace in Brittany for fifteen years. But in 841 he resolved to make himself independent of Charles the Bald. In 843 Charles made a vain attempt to subdue Brittany. In 844 Nomenoe invaded Maine, and in 845 the emperor was completely defeated at Ballon near Bain-de-Bretagne. In the following year Charles recognized the independence of Brittany. Having resolved to detach the duchy from theecclesiastical province of Tours, Nomenoe accused the Prankish bishops of Vannes, Quimper, Dol and Leon of simony at the council of Coetlouh in 848, replaced them by Bretons, and erected Dol into a metropolitan see. In 849 Nomenoe attacked thePrankish county of Anjou. Charles retaliated by establishing a garrison at Rennes; but Nomenoe seized Rennes, Nantes and, finally, the whole of Upper Brittany, and ravaged Maine. In 851 he seized Anjou and invaded Beauce; but he died suddenly, leaving as his successor his son Erispoe.

Gilbert is presumed to have been at least 10 years of age when he married Alice de Lusignan, daughter of Hughes XI de Lusignan and Yolande de Bretagne. Annulled in 1280.
Married on 30 Apr 1290 in Clerkenwell, England: Joan, Princess of England, daughter of Edward I, King of England (3938) and Eleanor, Princess de Castile; Gilbert was England's most powerful man, second only to the King.
Gilbert was not young when he married Joan and took her to live at his country retreat at Clerkenwell, not far from the Tower, where the King and the Queen resided. Joan left for her new home with great fanfare and loaded down with royal gifts including 40 golden cups, 20 zones of silk wrought and trapped with silver to give away to whom she pleased, numberless hampers, coffers, baskets and bags. One sumpter horse carried her chapel equipment, another her beddings, a third her jewels, a fourth her chamber furniture, a fifth her candles, a sixth her pantry stores. Died: on 7 Dec 1295 in England Joan was only 23 when the old Earl of Gloucester died at his castle.

A reported Companion in arms to William the Conqueror, and by some genealogists, Admiral of the fleet of William the Conqueror.

On the spelling of the surname Neville: The Abergavenny branch reject the final "e", while the Braybroooke branch retain it. For the sake of further distinction, the Grove, Chevet, Holbeck, Skelbrooke and Willingore baranchs omit one "L". In the old manuscripts, from "De Nova Villa", we get Neuville, Nevylle, Nevyll, Nevyl, Nevill and Nevil while the Latimers are frequently styled Nevell, but the prevailing form is Nevyll or Nevill.

William the Conqueror was the bastard son of Robert the Devil, Duke of Normandy, and Harlotta (or Arlette) daughter of a tanner of Falaise. Richard de Nova Villa was a cousin of the Conqueror on his maternal side and he left four sons; Gilbert, Robert, Richard and Ralph. From Gilbert de Nevill descends the houses of Westmoreland, Warwick, Latimer and Abergavenny. Gilbert de Nevill is claimed by some to have been the Admiral of the of the Conqueror's fleet, an uncle of Gilbert, Foulk d'Anou furnished 40 ships for the fleet.

The Norman family of Nevill came from Teutonic stock. Baldric Teutonicus was Lord of Bacqueville en Caux under Duke William. He married a niece of Gilbert Compte de Brionne, a grandson of duke Richard I who was regent of Normandy in 1040. The fourth son of Baldric Teutonicus was called Richard de Nova Villa, or de Neuville from his fife in Neuville sur Tocque in the department of the Orne, arrondissement of Argenton, and the canton of Grace. His sister, Hawisia, married Robertr Fitz Erneis who was slain at Hastings on October 14, 1066.

Evidently there is some evidence from one of Alan's charters granting some land to Kirkstead Abbey was given in the presence of the bishop of Lincoln and witnessed by Alan's brother Gilbert and Gilberts son Geoffrey. Source: B.L., Cotton Mss., Verpasian EXVIII, f. 159v, Gilbert is identified as his brother by Alan in Harley Charters 58 H4

The following addition information is supplied in a post-em by Curt Hofemann, curt_hofemann@yahoo.com:

FWIW:

had fief of Neuville sur Tocque in Normandy

Gilbert Neville, b c1035, came to England as an admiral in William the Conqueror's fleet.... The father of Gilbert is supposedly Richard Teutonicus D'Novavilla., b c1000 in Neuville, Normandy. Richard's father was supposedly Baldricus Teutonius or Baldric the German. [Ref: Kenneh Harper Finton 21 Dec 2000 message to Gen-Medieval/soc.genealogy.medieval]

From the book "De Nova Villa" by Henry J Swallow, pub jointly in 1885 by Andrew Reid of Newcastle upon Tyne and Griffith, Farran and Co of London, pp 2 and 3:

"Richard de Nova Villa was cousin to the Conqueror on his mother's side. The name and parentage of his wife remain in obscurity; but it is known that he left four sons, Gilbert, Robert, Richard and Ralph. From Gilbert descended the houses of Westmorland, Warwick, Latimer and Abergavenny.

"'Gilbertus Normanus' commonly called the _Admiral_, is placed at the head of the Nevill pedigree by all the early genealogists. Leland styles him the Conqueror's Admiral, on the authority of a 'roulle of the genealogie of the Erles of Westmoreland'. Henry Drummond--into whose work Stapleton's researches into the Norman ancestry of the Nevills were incorporated--considered Leland's information as a mere family fabrication, introduced towards the close of the 15th century. Whether the device of the ship on the seal of Henry de Nevill (date circ. 1200) supports the tradition, or whether the tradition arose from the seal, is a matter on which opinions differ. Foulk d'Anou, the uncle of Gilbert, certainly furnished forty ships for the invasion of England. There is no other evidence to support Leland's assertion that Gilbert himself was Admiral.

"'From a passage in Odericus Vitalis it is clear that the Norman family of Nevill issued from a Teutonic stock, some members of which offered their services to Richard, second duke of Normandy, and are known to have held high office, contracted important alliances, and possessed large fiefs in England _previous_ to the Conquest. Baldric Tuetonicus was Lord of Bacqueville en Caux, and _Archearius_ under Duke William. He married a niece of Gilbert Comte de Brionne, grandson of Duke Richard I., and Regent of Normandy in 1040.'"

"'The fourth son of Baldric was called Richard de Nova Villa [*], or De Neuville, from his fief of Neuville sur Tocque, in the department of the Orne, the arrondissement of Argenton, and the Canton of Gacé. Hawisia, sister of Richard de Nova Villa, married Robert Fitz Erneis, who fought and fell at Hastings.'--_Vide Planché's Norman Ancestry of the Nevills, a paper read at Durham in 1865, and published in the British Archaeological Journal, Vol XXII, p.279_."

Swallow adds a footnote:
"[*] The name of Richard de Nevill is given by M. Leopold de Lisle in his catalogue of the companions of the Conqueror, and by the Vicomte de Magny in his book, entitled _La Nobiliare de Normandie_. The name of Ralph occurs in the _Clamores in Westreding, co Lincoln_. Ralph Nevill held Thorpe of Turold, Abbot of Peterborough, but the name is omitted by Sir Henry Ellis in his _Introduction and Indexes to Domesday_. De Nove Villa _is_ found in the Roll of Battle Abbey, and in other lists of doubtful authority, but Odericus Vitalis makes no mention of the presence of any Nevill at the battle of Hastings, nor does Wace in his _Roman de Rou_; but that some of the brothers, sons, or nephews of the elder Richard de Nova Villa, of not Richard himself, were present at the battle is very probable."

Obviously this has to be contrasted with Ethel Stokes' article in CP (Vol IX, pp502a to 502d) where much of Swallow's words have to be consigned to the waste-paper basket. But Swallow himself put the weakest parts in quotes and seems to be very well aware that there was little evidence for any of it. Swallow's problem was that he was writing with the protection of the Bergavenny Nevilles and obviously hoped to sell copies around the various Nevill families so he could not throw out the old fables too violently. [Ref: Tim Powys-Lybbe 22 Dec 2000 message to Gen-Medieval/soc.genealogy.medieval]

(RICHARD DE NEVIL) was the fourth son of Baldric the German, and so called from his fief of Neuville-sur-Tocque, in the department of the Orne, the arrondissement of Argentan, and the canton of Gacé. The name of his wife is as yet unknown to us, but she bore to him four sons, Gilbert, Robert, Richard, and Ralph. Gilbert, apparently the eldest, is the "Gilbert Normanus" traditionally said not only to have come over with the Conqueror, but to have been the admiral of his fleet.

This assertion, apparently first made towards the close of the fifteenth century, is reported by Leland on the authority, as he tells us, of "a roulle of the genealogie of the Erles of Westmoreland," but giving us no idea of the date of that roll or the authorities from which it was compiled. At best it can only be looked upon as a family tradition supported, as Mr. Drummond appears to think, by the device of a ship which is to be seen on the seal of his grand-nephew Henry de Neville, preserved in the Duchy of Lancaster Office, and the date of which would be between 1199 and 1216.

My experience in these matters induces me to draw an inference from this fact directly opposed to that of Mr. Drummond. It is my belief, founded on the many analogous examples I have met with in the course of a tolerably long period passed in such investigations, that the tradition of Gilbert de Neville having been an admiral has actually arisen from the appearance of this ship, which, so far from indicating any such office, is nothing more than a device alluding to the family name; Nef, in the old French language signifying a ship, and, therefore, picturing the first syllable of Nefville, as we find Muscæ (flies) upon the old seals of the Muscamps, and hosts of similar and much farther-fetched canting devices.

Nearly all the strange stories and bold assertions to be met with in the works of early historical writers are found upon examination to have originated in an attempt to account for such concetti, and if Gilbert's uncle did really contribute so large a contingent as forty ships to the invading fleet, the supposition in the present instance seems a very natural one. Monsieur Leopold de Lisle, one of the ablest antiquaries in France, has in a recently compiled catalogue which has been cut in the stone of the western wall of the Church of Dives, introduced a Richard de Neuville amongst the followers of William, but no Gilbert; but neither by him nor by the Viscount de Magny, who has printed the list with some additions in his " Nobiliaire de Normandie," is any authority quoted in support of the statement, and they have probably so distinguished him from observing that the first of the name, and who was a contemporary of Duke William, was Richard de Novavilla, the father of Gilbert; but this Richard had also a son named Richard, and that some of the sons or nephews of the elder Richard were present at Hastings is very probable.

The name of Nevil, it has been confidently asserted, does not appear in Domesday. Like many other confident assertions, it is untrue. Dugdale, who states this, and those who have followed him, have overlooked the name of Ralph Nevil, who held Thorpe of Turold, Abbot of Peterborough. Sir Henry Ellis has also omitted the name in his "Introduction " and indexes. It occurs however in the Clamores in Westriding, county Lincoln, and if Ralph the bishop's man be identical with the Ralph Nevil of Thorpe, as there is reason to believe, he was tenant of several other lands at the time of the survey, and we have seen that the youngest brother of Gilbert was named Ralph.

Be this however as it may, it is no disparagement to the family of Nevil to hesitate, in the absence of positive authority, to number their direct ancestor amongst the leaders of that famous host; for many of the greatest men in Normandy set down in the catalogues as having fought at Senlac are now known to have first set foot in England after Duke William had secured the crown.

Gilbert, the traditionary admiral, was the direct progenitor of Isabella de Neville, wife of Robert Fitz Maldred, Lord of Raby, and sole heir to her brother, the Henry de Neville before mentioned.

From her son Geoffrey Fitz Maldred, who assumed his mother's name but retained his father's arms, sprang the magnificent tree the branches of which are truly said to have overshadowed the land. This Saxon line of Nevil has given to England two queens, a Princess of Wales, a mother of two kings, a Duke of Bedford, a Marquis of Montacute, Earls of Northumberland, Westmoreland, Salisbury, Kent, Warwick, and Montacute; Barons Nevil, Furnival, Latimer, Fauconberg, Montacute, and Abergavenny; Duchesses of Norfolk, Exeter, York, Buckingham, Warwick, Clarence, and Bedford; a Marchioness of Dorset; Countesses of Northumberland, Westmoreland, Arundel, Worcester, Derby, Oxford, Suffolk, Rutland, Exeter, Bridgewater, and Norwich; Baronesses de Ros, Dacre, Scrope, Dovercourt, Mountjoy, Spencer, Fitz Hugh, Harrington, Hastings, Comyn, Willoughby de Broke, Hunsdon, Cobham, Strange, Montacute, and Lucas; nine Knights of the Garter, two Lord High Chancellors, two Archbishops of York, a Bishop of Salisbury, of Exeter, and of Durham.

I regret that the nature and limits of this work debar me from particular notice of many members of this wonderful family, the above remarkable list of illustrious descendants being of itself a departure from the rule I have generally observed of confining my annotations to the origin and actions of the actual companions and contemporaries of the Conqueror. Memoirs of "the Peacock of the North" and "the King-maker" would alone demand a volume for their illustration; and it is unnecessary to point out the impossibility of doing similar justice to the many distinguished descendants of other families whose ancestors are recorded to have been present with Duke William at Hastings, and would have equal claims on my consideration.

Note:
I forgot to add his name was: Richard de Neuville (not Neville) being Seigneur de Neuville sur Tocque. Spelling 'Neville' is English & he wasn't.

0969 Baldricus Teutonicus Sire de Courcy

The following information, which indicates that there is not much solid evidence on Baldric, is contained in a post-em by Curt Hoffeman, curt_hofemann@yahoo.com. Based on it, I added Aimee de Brionne as a wife. However I kept Muriel as mother of Baldric's 1st two children. However unlikely, this leaves Baldric marrying 1st the illegitimate daughter of Richard I of Normandy, and 2nd his great granddaughter.

FWIW (caveat emptor):

But the names "GILBERT" and "GEOFFREY" as the early ancestors of the DE NEVILLES on your list might indicate some likelihood that Baudric's wife was indeed a niece of Gilbert de Brionne, as written by Orderic. Orderic not only stated the fact about the niece of GILBERT marrying "BALDRIC," but named their six sons, including Nicholas DE BASKERVILLE and Richard DE NEVILLE, according to P. H. Baskervill...

In my letter to GEN-MEDIEVAL, I also said that BAUDRY/BAUDRIC le TEUTON and his brother WIGER came to Normandy and put themselves at the service of WILLIAM I, but it was not WILLIAM I, but WILLIAM's grandfather, Richard II of Normandy (996-1026) they served under, according to Orderic.

Abbe' Daoust states that BAUDRY married AUBREE, niece of Gilbert DE BRIONNE. This is the first place I have seen the name of the niece. [Ref: Kay Roemer <roemer222@aol.com> 9 Jan 2001 message to Gen-Medieval]

I have read that Gilbert's (de Brionne) niece Aubree married Baudric le Teuton and named a son Fulk, who later became Fulk d'Aunou. [Ref: Kay Roemir roemer222@aol.com 24 Jan 2001 message to Gen-Medieval]

In reality, the dearth of records about him suggests any ancestry is speculatve (at best) not supported by reliable records (those that do are only guesses - my opinion only)... Curt

part in his victory over the French at Mortremer. He was sent by DUKE
WILLIAM to alarm KING HENRY I of France (RIN 1198) with the news.
About 1060 Ralph, along with HUGH DE GRANDMESNIL (RIN 1026) and
Ernald d'Echauffer, were banished and deprived of their lands by DUKE
WILLIAM. In revenge, Ralph and Ernald made incursions into Normandy
and burned the town of St. Evroul; but in 1063 THE DUKE recalled them
and restored their lands. Ralph was one of DUKE WILLIAM's inner council
at the time of the invasion of England and he faught at the Battle of
Hastings in 1066.
Cokayne, in his "Complete Peerage", states that Ralph's estates, given
to him by WILLIAM THE CONQUERER sometime between 1066 and the
Domesday survey of 1086, included holdings in the counties of Berks,
Essex, Gloucester, Hereford, Herts, Norfolk, and Worcester, with the
castle of Clifford. This would certainly seem to make him the
grandfather of MARGARET, who married WALTER DE CLIFFORD. The "caput"
of his barony was at Flamstead, Herts.
Following the death of KING WILLIAM in 1087, Ralph was one of the
Norman nobles who expelled the royal garrisons from their castles. In
1088 he served under Duke Robert in the war against Maine.
As the result of a feud between is wife, ISABEL, and ISABEL's sister-in
law, Hawise, Hawise's husband (ISABEL's brother), William Count of
Evreux, attacked Ralph. Ralph appealed in vain to the Duke of Normandy
for help. He then appealed directly to King William Rufus, who ordered
his adherents in Normandy to Ralph's aid. The Count of Evreux beseiged
Conches, but was defeated by Ralph's forces. After three years of
fighting a peace was concluded. When King William Rufus and his
brother, the Duke of Normandy finally made peace in 1091, Ralph's lands
were among those given from the Duke to the King. Thereafter, Ralph
was one of the king's staunchest supporters.
After the death of King William Rufus, in 1100, Ralph joined forces
with the Count of Evreux to invade the lands of ROBERT DE BEAUMONT,
COUNT OF MEULAN (RIN 1031). This was in revenge for previous political
back-stabbing.

# Event: Info 2 Fought At Battle Of Otterburn

Henry ("Harry Hotspur") (Sir), Kg (1388); born 20 May 1364; knighted 1377, accompanied his father in retaking Berwick Castle from the Scots 1378, Jt Warden of the Marches with his father 1384; Governor of Berwick 1385, served in France in the area around Calais 1386, making raids there on the French; on 5 or 19 Aug 1388 (other sources have 15 Aug, but the latest date seems the most plausible, not least because there was a full moon on 20 August and the English attack came in the evening, with fighting continuing throughout the night) he launched an assault on the encampment of an invading Scottish army at Otterburn, c 30 miles northwest of Newcastle; "Hotspur" and his brother Sir Ralph Percy were made prisoners, but James, 2nd Earl of Douglas, the Scottish general, was slain, a cross supposedly marking the spot being known as Percy's Cross; both sides claimed victory, but modern opinion inclines to the Scots; nevertheless not only were Hotspur and Sir Ralph captured the English popular imagination, keener to celebrate failure than succcess, and the ballad "Chevy Chase" resulted; the Scots have their own ballad, "Otterburn"; Hostspur was released by midsummer 1389; Warden of Carlisle and the West March 1389-94 (also East March by late 1398), Governor of Bordeaux 1393-95, joined forces with the 2nd Duke of Lancaster, afterward Henry IV, 1399, as did his father; confirmed as Warden of East March and Governor of Berwick and Roxburgh by Henry IV 1399, Justiciar of Cheshire, North Wales (1400-01), and Flint, Constable of Caernarvon, Chester, Conway and Flint Castles 1400, also granted Anglesey with Beaumaris Castle, together with Lordship of Bamburgh Castle, for life 1400, a commissioner to treat for peace with Scots 1401, a commander at Homildon Hill 1402; turned with his uncle and father against Henry IV and fell at the Battle of Shrewbury 21 July 1403; married by 1 May 1380, as her 1st husband, Lady Elizabeth Mortimer (born 12 Feb 1371; married 2nd, as his 2nd wife, 1st Lord (Baron) Camoys and died 20 April 1417), daughter of 3rd Earl of March, by Philippa, granddaughter of Edward III.

Sir Henry de Percy, "Harry Hotspur", b. 20 May 1364, dvp, slain at Shrewsbury 21 July 1403; m. before 10 Dec 1379 Elizabeth Mortimer. [Magna Charta Sureties]

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

Involved in revolt (1403-1405) against Henry IV. Knighted at Shrewsbury before his death. He was attacking Shrewsbury because Henry IV's son who was to become Henry V was being protected there. Henry IV and his army met Harry Hotspur before the seige could be established.

Legend has it that Harry's death was foretold at Berwick. Naturally he assumed that meant Berwick-upon-Tweed, a major town of Northumberland/Scotland. The night before the Battle of Shrewsbury, Harry and his army camped in a little hamlet outside Shrewsbury. It was not until the next morning that Harry found out that the Hamlet's name was Berwick. Harry died that day in the battle.

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

Sir Henry Percy, byname HOTSPUR (b. May 20, 1364--d. July 21, 1403, near Shrewsbury, Shropshire, Eng.), English rebel who led the most serious of the uprisings against King Henry IV (reigned 1399-1413). His fame rests to a large extent on his inclusion as a major character in William Shakespeare's Henry IV.

The eldest son of Henry Percy, 1st Earl of Northumberland, he was nicknamed Hotspur by his Scottish enemies in recognition of the diligence with which he patrolled the border between England and Scotland. He was captured and held for ransom by Scottish invaders in 1388-89, and in 1399 he and his father played a crucial part in helping Henry Bolingbroke (afterward King Henry IV) overthrow King Richard II. Henry IV rewarded Hotspur with lands and offices in northern England and Wales, but the Percys would not be content until they dominated the king. Their stunning victory over the Scots at Homildon (Humbledon) Hill in Durham, in September 1402, contrasted with Henry's fruitless attempts to suppress the Welsh rebel Owen Glendower. Nevertheless, Henry refused to allow Hotspur to ransom the Scottish captives, and he delayed in paying the expenses of Hotspur's border warfare. Hence in 1403 Hotspur and Northumberland decided to depose the king. Hotspur raised a rebellion in Cheshire in July, but Henry intercepted him near Shrewsbury before he could join forces with his father. In the ensuing battle Hotspur was killed.

King of Scotland
Malcolm III
(Malcolm Canmore), d. 1093, king of Scotland (1057-93); son of Duncan I;successor to MACBETH. In aid of Edgar Atheling, pretender to the Englishthrone, Malcolm waged wars against England that helped ensure Scottishindependence and made possible church reorganization by his wife,Margaret of Scotland.

Some say died 1098. Slew Macbeth 1057. King of Strathclyde.

Colonial and Revolutionary Lineages of America (973 D2ah) Vol. 2 CalledCeannmor or Canmore, succeeded to the throne of Scotland by the defeat ofMacbeth in 1054. During his reign he carried on almost constant warfare,most of which was successful. He gave support to his brother-in-law,Eadgar Atheling, in fighting William the Conqueror in Northumbria. In1072 William invaded Scotland and succeeded in a temporary conquest ofthe country, returnin to England after Malcolm did homage. Later, in1091, Malcolm raided Northern England, in return for which William Rufusinvaded Scotland and once more Malcolm did homage. In 1092, when inGloucester, England, he declined to do homage and returned to Scotland inanger. He invaded Northumberland in 1093, but was ambuscaded near theCastle of Alnwick and slain.


Malcolm married Ingibiorg, daughter of Finn Amasson, widow of Thorlinn,Jarl of Orkney, When she died, he married St. Margaret. One source I havesays she was the daughter of Edward Atheling, two others say she was thesister of Edward Atheling. Most likely she was the sister of Athelingand was the great-niece of Edward the Confessor. Duncan II was Malcolm's son by first marriage. Other sons were Edgar 1098-1107, Alexander1107-1124 (married an illegitimate daughter of Henry I) and David I (TheSaint) 1124-1153. These were children by the second marriage withMargaret. They had six sons in all.

David I had a son Henry, the Earl of Huntingdon, who was never on thethrone. He and his wife, Ada, had Malcolm IV (The Maiden) who ruled from1153 to 1165 and William I (The Lion) who ruled from 1165 to 1214.William's son Alexander II (1214-1249 married Joan, the daughter of John,King of England. His son Alexander III ruled from 1249-1286 and marriedMargaret, the daughter of Henry III, King of England. Their child,Margaret married the King of Norway and had Margaret, the Maid of Norwaywho was crowned from 1286-1290.

The reign of Malcolm III, or Canmore as he was known, began the rule ofthe house of Canmore. This house continued to preside for over twocenturies. Canmore means big head or great chief. After the defeat of hisfather, Malcolm took refuge with his uncle in Northumbir and acquiredAnglo-Sxon attitudes. Margaret, his second wife, had a lot of influenceover him and through her he substituted Saxon for Gaelic as the courtlanguage. His dream was to expand his kingdom into England but this wasnot to be as William the Conqueror advanced into Scotland in 1072. Hemade jeweled bindings for her religious books although he could not readthem.

Margaret was a much loved and very devout queen. She had travelled widelyin Europe and when she came to Scotland she was determined to change themanner of the court both in fashion and standards of behavior. Nobleswere forbidden to fight or get drunk at court and she gave each noble hisown drinking cup. Margaret was allowed to use her husband's money to helpthe poor by giving them food, shelter and clothing. She also encouragedtrade with foreign merchants. Under her influence, life became morecivilized. She also founded many monasteries and tried to bring her RomanChurch close together with the Celtic church. Margaret was canonized in1251.

Malcolm's son was taken as hostage to the English court. In later years,1093, he decided to invade England for the 5th time. Magaret was very illin Edinburgh Castle and begged him not to got but he would not listen.Soon after the fighting commenced, he was killed.


Margaret received the news four days later, and being on her deathbedherself, died almost immediately. Soon after his death, Edinburgh Castlewas surrounded by Highlanders employed by Donald Bane, Malcolm III'sbrother, who planned to capture the castle and thus enable him to becomeking. His plan was to kill his nephews, Margaret's sons, or to put themin prison. The brothers were trapped. They had to take their mother'sbody to Dumferline to be buried and didn't know how they were to manage.By good fortune or a freak of nature a heavy white mist descended uponthe castle and it was so dense that they were able to sneak past theHighlanders with their mother's body. They then made their escape toFrance. Malcolm had ruled for 35 years but the stability he had gainedfor Scotland disappeared after his death. A succession of kingsfollowed.

St. Margaret

After Malcolm's death, the frontier between Scotland and England for thefirst time
was defined.

Also Known As: Louis "d'Outremer".

Born: on 10 Sep 920 in Laon, Aisne, France, son of Charles III, King de France and Eadgifu=Ogive=Hadwige, Princess of England, Some sources claim King Louis IV was born in the year 921.

Note -between 936 and 954 in France: King:936-954. When Louis IV's father [Charles "Le Simple"] was captured [by Herbert de Vermandois in 923] , his mother Eadgifu took him to England for refuge. Louis IV came to the throne thanks to the support of Hughes, Count of Paris who had Louis IV recalled to France to succeed King Raoul (reign: 923-936). On 19 June 936, the new King, arrived in Boulogne, from England [hence the nickname "from overseas"] . He is annointed in Laon by the Archbishop of Reims, Artaud. Hughes "Le Grand" fancies himself the mentor of the King, but the King is rather independent of mind. Louis struggled against Hughes "Le Grand", Count of Paris, through most of his reign. In 936, the new German King, Otton I (who had just succeeded Henri I) tries to arbitrate their quarrels. In 938, King Louis "d'Outremer" makes an enemy out of Otton by marching into Lorraine. In 940, Otton I invades France and marches on Paris, with the help of his allies, Hughes "Le Grand" and Hughes de Vermandois. The Kingdom is split in two. While fighting the Normans in an attempt to recapture Normandy, Louis IV was made prisoner in 945 in Rouen. His liberty following that capture was short-lived as Louis IV fell into the hands of Hughes "Le Grand", now Duke de France, who kept him prisoner for one year until 946. An alliance with the German King Otto I allowed Louis IV to defeat Hughes (having had Hugues de Vermandois excommunicated in 948 at the Council of Ingelheim; The Church Council met again in September that year and excommunicated Hughes "Le Grand"), who made peace in 950 with Louis because he needed the support of the Church. Louis IV married Gerberge, Sister of the Emperor of the Occident Othon=Otto the Great, who bore him a son named Lothaire who eventually replaced Louis IV on the throne. Louis was fatally injured in a fall form his horse.

Married in 940: Gerberge de Saxe, daughter of Henri I, Duke de Saxe and Mathilde, Countess de Ringelheim ; Louis IV was Gerberge's second husband.

Died: on 10 Oct 954 in Reims, Champagne, France, at age 34 Louis IV is buried at Saint Remy.

(Born c.AD 712)
(Latin: Theodorus; English: Theodore)

Tewdr was the second son of King Rhein of Dyfed & Brycheioniog. In the mid-8th century, he inherited the Kingdom of Brycheioniog, while his brother, Tewdos, took on Dyfed. However, Tewdr had a rival in the person of Elwystl ap Awst, probably his cousin, who also claimed to be rightful King of Brycheiniog. The two were persmacded to live peacefully side-by-side and to this end they swore an oath on the altar of St.Dyfrig (probably at Gwenddwr). Tewdr soon broke the peace though and brutally murdered Elwystl. He was forced to give up Llanfihangel Cwm Du to the Church for his misdemeanour but his reign continued.

MacsenWledig (the Imperator), was a widowed senator living in
Rome. Being aminor member of the Constantinian Imperial family,
he felt it unjust thatthe Empire was ruled by the Emperors,
Gratian and Valentinian, but therewas little he could do about
it. In about 365, Maximus was out hunting one day when he
rested beneath atree and fell asleep. He had a long dream about
a palace far away. Heentered the palace and encountered an
ageing King and two young menplaying chess. Turning, his eyes
met the most beautiful woman he couldever have imagined,
sitting on a golden throne. On waking, Maximusimmediately
sought out a local oracle who urged him to search out
thisbeautiful maiden. So messengers were sent out across the
Empire but,dispite exhaustive searches, all returned empty
handed. There was no signof Maximus' beauty. Meanwhile, at the
edge of the Empire, High-King Eudaf Hen of Britain wasgetting
very old. He decided it was time to appoint his official heir
tothe British Kingdom. His nephew, Cynan Meriadog, was perhaps
the mostobvious choice, though the King's direct heir was his
only daughter,Elen. Eudaf's chief advisor, Caradog, the King of
Dumnonia, advocatedstrengthening Roman links by marrying Elen
to a man with Imperialconnections. The two could then inherit
the Kingdom together. He knew ofsuch a steady young man in Rome
who would make an ideal husband. Eudafwas intrigued, so had
Caradog send his son, Meurig, to seek this Romanout. Meurig
arrived in Rome at the house of Magnus Maximus, just as he
hadreceived the unfortunate news that his dream girl could not
be found.Glad of the distraction and persuaded by Meurig's
suggestion that hemight find support in Britain for his
Imperial claims, Maximus gladlyagreed to return with him. Comes
Theodosius' historical expedition toBritain in order to quell
barbarian risings actually brought MagnusMaximus to these
shores in 368. Legend tells how the arrival on theisland of a
large army of men caused quite a stir and, not realising whoit
was, Eudaf sent Cynan with an army to disperse them.
Fortunately,Meurig persuaded all of their good intentions and
Maximus was able toride off to Eudaf's court at Carnarfon
(Caer-yn-Arfon alias Caer-Segeint). Upon being introduced to
everyone, Maximus was astounded to find thatEudaf was the old
man in his dream and Cynan, one of the chess-players(some say
the other was his son, Cadfan). He was then overjoyed to
findthat Eudaf's daughter, Elen, was his dream-girl. The two
fell in loveimmediately and were married with great pomp and
ceremony. Eudaf died soon afterward, and Maximus and Elen
inherited his Kingdom.Cynan was extremely annoyed and rode
north to gather an army of Picts andScots to overthrow them.
However, Maximus defeated him and, beingmagnanimous in victory,
the two made peace. Cynan became Maximus' dearestfriend and
also his magister militum. At this point, we return to more
historic details. News reached Britainthat Maximus' relative,
Theodosius had been elevated to the EasternImperial throne.
Incensed, Maximus, along with his son Victorius andPrince
Cynan, invaded the Western Empire in 383. They withdrew
troopsfrom Carnarfon (Caer-Segeint) and elsewhere in Britain
and his menquickly proclaimed Maximus as Emperor. His armies
marched across thecontinent, establishing his rule as they
went. Cynan eventually killedthe Western Emperor, Gratian, in
battle (being given Brittany as areward), and Maximus became
sole ruler of the West. Maximus set up his capital at Trier and
ruled well over Britain, Gaul andSpain for four years. He was
baptised a Christian, and was recognised asEmperor by
Theodosius who was occupied with his own troubles
elsewhere.Eventually however, Maximus was forced to make a move
against Gratian'syounger brother, Valentinian, the Southern
Emperor, who threatened hisrule from Rome. He invaded Italy,
took Milan and for a whole yearbesieged Rome, before Cynan
arrived once more and finished the job.Unfortunately though,
Valentinian escaped. He soon returned, backed up bythe Roman
Emperor of the East, Theodsoius. Maximus' forces were
twicedefeated at Illyricum, before he was finally killed, with
his son, atAquileia. ---------- MAGNUS CLEMENS MAXIMUS (d. 388)
ruled as usurping Roman Emperor from 383to 388. Of Spanish
birth, Magnus Maximus served in the Roman amy inBritain from
367 and rose to high military command. In 383 he
proclaimedhimself Emperor, crossed the Channel with an army and
established hisrule over Gaul and Spain. In 387 he moved into
Italy but in 388 wasdefeated by the rightful Emperor,
Theodosius I, and executed atAquileia. His significance in
British history is twofold. First, hiswithdrawals of troops
from Britain made the province even more vulnerablethat it
already was to Pictish, Irish and Saxon marauders. Secondly,
hewas remembered (under the name Macsen) in medieval Welsh
tradition as theancestor of several British princely dynasties.
Precisely whatsignificance this may have is not clear, but it
is possible that Maximusestablished reliable native
subordinates for defensive purposes inpositions of authority
that later became hereditary. On both counts hisunwitting
contribution to the confused process called for convenience'the
end of Roman Britain' was considerable. [Who's Who in Roman
Britainand Anglo-Saxon England, Richard Fletcher,
Shephear-Walwyn Ltd., London,1989]
------------------------------ MAGNUS MAXIMUS, a native of
Spain, who had accompanied Theodosius onseveral expeditions,
and from 368 seems to have had some office inBritain, where he
was proclaimed emperor by the disaffected troops.Denuding, as
it would seem, Hadrian's Wall of its garrison, he crossedover
to Gaul, and overthrew Gratian. Theodosius being unable to
avengethe death of his colleague, an agreement was made (384 or
385) by whichMaximus was recognized as Augustus and sole
emperor in Gaul, Spain andBritain, while Valentinian II was to
rule Italy and Illyricum. In 387Maximus crossed the Alps and
Valentinian was forced to fly toTheodosius. Advancing with a
powerful Army, Theodosius defeated thetroops of Maximus---at
Siscia on the Save, and at Poetovio on theDanube. He then
hurried to Aquileia, where Maximus had shut himself up,and had
him beheaded. [Encyclopaedia Britannica, 1961 ed., Vol. XV,
p.119, MAXIMUS, MAGNUS MAXIMUS] ----------------------------
MAXIMUS, MAGNUS (d. Aug. 28, 388), usurping Roman emperor who
ruledBritain, Gaul, and Spain from AD 383 to 388. A Spaniard
of humbleorigin, Maximus commanded the Roman troops in Britain
against the Pictsand Scots. In the spring of 383, Maximus'
British troops proclaimed himemperor, and he at once crossed to
the European continent to confront hisrival, the Western
emperor Gratian. Maximus won over Gratian's advancingtroops;
Gratian fled but was overtaken and killed (Aug. 25,
383).Maximus took up residence at Trier (in present-day
Germany) and enteredinto negotiations with the Eastern emperor,
Theodosius I. Since hostiletribes were threatening his eastern
frontier, Theodosius decided torecognize Maximus rather than
fight a war in the West. Maximus alsoopened negotiations with
Valentinian II, the young ruler who had beencoemperor with
Gratian, and made an uneasy peace with him. At this timeMaximus
elevated his son Flavius Victor to be coruler with him, and
hiselevation was recognized by the other two emperors. In the
summer of 387Maximus invaded Italy, forcing Valentinian to flee
to Thessalonica. Warbroke out in 388 between Maximus and
Theodosius, whose position had beenstrengthened by a treaty
with the Persians. When his troops were defeatednear Siscia and
at Petovio, in Illyricum (in the Balkans), Maximus wascaptured
and executed. [Encyclopaedia Britannica CD '97,
MAGNUSMAXIMUS.] In the history or the mythology of the
beginnings of the kingdoms ofWales, Magnus is a ubiquitous
lurker. He also figures in stories of thesaints; he appears in
the early literature of Cornwall and in thetraditions of the
Men of the North and it is he who is the hero of thestory
'Breuddwyd Macsen.' So great was his appeal to the
Welshimagination and so substantial was his alleged
contribution to theestablishment of the early Welsh kingdoms
that A. W. Wade-Evans andMartin Charlesworth suggested he could
be considered to be the father ofthe Welsh nation. [A History
of Wales, John Davies, Allen Lane, ThePenguin Press, London,
1993.] NOTE ON THE PARENTAGE OF MAGNUS MAXIMUS: The Ancestry of
Magnus Maximus,as found on the Internet at The History Files ©
Home Publishing & P LKessler 1999, says he is the son of
Maximianus Constans, a younger son ofConstantine. However,
nowhere can I find any other of a son ofConstantine named
Maximianus Constans, although Constantine did have ason,
Flavius Julius Constans, who ruled as a Constans, Roman
Emperor,until his death in 350. In addition, 'Message in the
King List No 2 ofHarleian MSS No 3859' - found on the Internet
- states 'As Magnus Maximuscan be shown to be the only son of
Crispus who was Constantine theGreat's eldest son, it is
abundantly clear that Magnus Maximus is heredeclared the
rightful heir after his uncle Constans who succeeded whenMagnus
was yet a child of 10 - 11 years. The text of the message
is:'Magnus Maximus the protected protector (who was)
overturned, theannointed of pure estate, the spring
(descendant) I with the sword.' AsMagnus was removed from Gaul
to Spain at the age of one by the faithfulSpanish Knight,
following the murder of his father Crispus and his motherFlavia
in 325, he is the 'protected protector'.' The problem with
thisreference is that the mother of Crispus was not Flavia, but
wasMinerva/Minervina, and the wife of Crispus was Helena.
However, Crispusis known to exist and there is no evidence that
Maximianus Constans ismore than a fictional person, I have
chosen to represent Magnus as thechild of Crispus and Helena.
~0330 Elen Lwyddog verch Eudaf Hen ~0286 Eudaf Hen The family of Eudaf Hen - or Octavius the Old as he would have
been knownto his contemporaries - hailed from the Gwent area of
Wales. Eudaf wasapparently Lord of the Gewissae. The Gewissae
are a confused people. Some think they were the Germanicrace
who lived around Dorchester-on-Thames and Abingdon even before
theRomans left Britain. They later merged with the West Saxons
who continuedto use the name. However, there are other
indications that they were theBritish who lived further to the
West. The word 'Gewissae' may be relatedto Ewyas, the northern
region of Gwent, and, possibly, to the Hwicce, anapparently
Saxon people who lived in Gloucestershire. Their name may
havehad British origins. There are tales of Eudaf holding court
at Caer Segeint (Caernarfon), butthis was probably due to
associations with his son-in-law, the EmperorMagnus Maximus.
The Gwent/Gloucestershire area would appear to have beenhis
real home, like the tyrant Vortigern who seems to have claimed
him asan ancestor. But Eudaf is a man on the boundaries of
mythology. All that can really besaid about him is that he
probably lived in the early 4th century. Hesupposedly took up
the British High-Kingship after defeating King CoelGodhebog
(the Magnificent)'s brother, Trahearn. However, even the
oldCeltic client-kingdoms under Roman rule had disappeared by
this period.If Eudaf held any office of power, it would have
been a simpleadministrative role; perhaps a praeses of
Britannia Prima or a decurionof Gloucester or Caerwent. He had
no sons and was succeeded by his son-in-law, the Emperor
MagnusMaximus. Conan, his nephew, had to be content as King of
both Brittanyand Dumnonia. Like many prominent men of their
era, Eudaf and Conanclaimed descent from Celtic Gods: Llyr
Llediarth (Half-Speech), God ofthe Sea and his son, Bran
Fendigaid (the Blessed), who was mortalized inpopular tradition
as a King of Siluria (Gwent). . [David Nash Ford,Ancestry of
Eudaf Hen] ---------- Eudaf Hen, supposed High-King of Britain
Mid-4th Century(Latin-Octavius, English-Odda) . Eudaf Hen (the
Old) first appears in theold Welsh mythological tale, the
'Dream of Macsen'. The future RomanEmperor, Magnus Maximus,
dreamt of Eudaf's beautiful daughter, ElenLluyddog (of the
Host), and sent emissaries across the Empire to findher. She
was discovered in her father's palace at
Caer-Segeint(Caernarfon) where the old man sat, carving
'gwyddbwyll' pieces (likechess-men). Maximus came to Britain,
married the girl and eventuallyinherited her father's kingdom,
much to the disgust of his male heir,Conan Meriadoc. If he
existed at all, Eudaf lived in the mid-4th century. He
would,therefore, have been a Romano-Briton, living an extremely
Romanizedlifestyle. The Latin Octavius the Old is therefore a
much moreappropriate form of his name. His daughter was Helena.
The Dream story clearly indicates that Octavius was the monarch
aroundCaernarfon in North Wales, but later writers - chiefly
the mistrustedGeoffrey of Monmouth - made him 'Duke of the
Giwissei' or 'Iarl Ergyng acEwias': evidently ruling in Ergyng
and Gwent. This may have arisen fromhis supposed descent from
so-called pre-Roman Kings of Siluria (namedafter the Celtic
tribe who lived in that area). Though the connection
ispersistent and it is equally possible that the Caernarfon
association isdue to Maximus and Helena's later residence
there. Octavius would nothave been a king at this date, but
perhaps a decurion of one of thesecivitates (Roman towns).
However, he is also called one of the High-Kingsof Britain.
Such a title would, clearly, not have existed either but itmay
indicate that he held a position of considerable importance in
theRoman administration. The official with control of both the
Caernarfonand Gwent areas was the Praeses of Britannia Prima.
Geoffrey's mythology has Octavius taking up the British
High-Kingshipafter defeating King Coel Godhebog (the
Magnificent)'s brother, Trahearn,in battle near Winchester. So
perhaps he took office by force. Early records are confused
about Eudaf's descendants. Some stories claimthat he had
various sons, Conan, Adeon/Gadeon and Eudaf II. Others,
thatHelena was his sole direct heiress and that Conan, his male
heir, wasonly his nephew. This appears to fit best. Magnus
Maximus and his wifeprobably inherited Eudaf's position in
society, helping the former to puthimself forward as Emperor of
the West. Conan made excellent marriagesand was placated with
vast estates given by his cousin's husband.Adeon/Gadeon alias

Judah Joannas Rhesa Zerubbabel King in Babylon

Zerubavel (Zerubbabel Konge) (Zorobabel). He, upon permission of the Persian shah (Cyrus), led the first and largest colony of Jewish Exiles back to Palestine, and, was entrusted with the office of “governor” (“pehah”) of Judea, his ancestors’ old kingdom to which he was heir, which was now a Persian province. His family did not accompany him, but remained behind in Babylonia with the majority of the Jewish “Diaspora”.  married Amytis, a Babylonian princess, called a “foreign wife”, and begot Shazrezzar, a Babylonian name, the ancestor of a major Davidic line. Shazrezzar was an ancestor of Joseph, the husband of Mary, from the Bible.  married Rhodah, a Persian princess, who later re-married a Persian prince, and begot Reza (Rhesa), a Persian name, the half-brother through his mother of the Persian shah, the ancestor of a major Davidic line. Reza was an ancestor of Mary from the Bible.  Married Esthra, a Jewish princess, and begot (1) Meshullam, Hananiah, and Shelomith (the wife of Elnathan, Governor of Judea (c. 500 BC))  Other Children: Hachouba, Ohel, Berekhia, Hassadia, Youchab-Hesed. http://www.hials.no/~hy/_gen/a/d0/i0007384.htm#i7384.  [note: the occupants of the exilarchate at Babylon and the patriarchate or principate at Jerusalem, representing separate branches of the Davidic Dynasty, were rivals for the heirship of the old Jewish Davidic royal house, i.e., the “princes” of the “diaspora”, or the lords of the world’s Jews]  Ezra “The Prophet”, during his reforms (458BC), ruled in favor of the descendants of Zorobabel by his Jewish wife, and said “to be Jewish your mother had to be one”; and, that is why the descent-lines of the sons of Zorobabel’s “foreign wives” were omitted from “Chronicles”, which was written by Ezra’s scribes. Therefore, the descendants of Zorobabel’s Jewish wife are listed first.   Genealogical Note: Information from Zerubbabel down through the Jewish Exilarch's & Rabbi's from genealogy database of  Daniel E. Loeb http://www.delanet.com/~loeb/kings.html  "This information matches up with the Yikhus Letter in the possession of the Sans Hassidim (Zans Khassidim). See The ESKELES Genealogy by Zeev ESHKOLOT which goes through R. Bezaelel Ben Yaacov. This information may deviate from the lineage claimed by the descendants of Rashi.

Vortigernis apparently merely a title meaning 'Over-King'.
There are someindications that, like his supposed forebears,
his real name was Gwidol(Vitalis) or Gwidolin (Vitalinus),
though his origins are obscure. Hispower-base was always the
area that now spans the Welsh border: hiseldest son set up a
thriving kingdom in Powys, though Vortigern appearsto have held
sway in Gloucester in his early years. His great grandfatheris
usually said to have been Gloyw Gwallthir (Long-Hair), one of
thecity's supposed founders. His name may well be synonymous
with the placeitself: 'Gloucester Long-Wall', though some think
the appendage to hisname indicates he was a long-haired Pict.
The 'Life of St. Cadog',however, gives Vortigern an alternative
ancestry descending from theCeltic gods, Beli Mawr, Lludd Llaw
Ereint and Afallach. So perhaps thePictish connection was
through the female line. Legend says that Vortigern was an
official at the court of the Emperor ofBritain, Constantine
Waredwr (the Deliverer), in the early 5th century.He climbed
his way high up the greasy pole by securing an inspiredmarriage
to Severa, the daughter of the Emperor's predecessor
andnational hero, Magnus Maximus. Rising to be chief advisor,
Vortigern hadEmperor Constantine deposed while he was away
campaigning on thecontinent. He then temporarily placed the
Emperor's eldest son, Constans,on the throne while he brought
his Pictish relatives to court toconsolidate his position.
Vortigern used these Northern henchmen todispose of the three
people standing between him and the British crown.Constans was
assassinated, but his young brothers were bundled up andescaped
to the court of their cousin, Budic I, in Brittany. It was
during Vortigern's reign that St Germanus visited Britain
fromAuxerre to stamp out the Pelagian heresy that had become so
popular. Hisfirst journey took him from Caer-Rebuti
(Richborough) to Caer-Lundein(London), Caer-Mincip (St. Albans)
and up to what is now Cheshire wherehe led an army against a
party of invading Saxon pirates. Germanus wasgreeted by the
High-King himself on his return some years later. Thesaint
spent a little time at the royal court, probably
Caer-Guricon(Wroxeter, Shropshire) where excavation has
revealed the residence of apowerful 5th century noble. Here the
saint accused Vortigern of fatheringa child by his own
daughter. Though disgusted by the British High-King,Germanus
favoured the man's sons, three of whom he appears to
haveblessed. Even with the support of his brothers-in-law, who
were now powerfulrulers in Wales, Vortigern's grip on the
country was still shaky; butwhen Severa died the situation
worsened and he was forced to bring inSaxon and Jutish
mercenaries, led by Princes Hengist and Horsa, tostabilize
things. The two brothers asked, as a reward for quelling
allresistance, for all the land they could cover with a single
ox-hide.Vortigern eagerly agreed, but found that Hengist cut
the hide into alengthy thong that was able to encompass the
whole city of Caer-Correi(Caistor, Lincolnshire)! The Saxons
were as good as their word though,and control of the country
soon returned to Vortigern's hands. Later,however, they tricked
the High-King again: this time into handing over tothem the
Sub-Kingdom of Ceint (Kent). Getting drunk at a
celebratoryfeast, the foolish Vortigern fell deeply in love
with Hengist's daughter,Rowena. He promised Hengist anything he
wanted, if only he could marryher. Ceint was the Saxon's price.
Sickened by the betrayal of his countrymen, Vortigern's eldest
son,Vortimer, declared himself a rival British leader, raised
an army and,for a short time, managed to stem the Saxon
advance. Wounded in battle,however, he was poisoned by Rowena,
his step-mother. From their securepower-base, the Saxons saw
their chance and rebelled against Vortigern.They tore through
the land, leaving devastation wherever they went. Manywere
killed during the ensuing battles, amongst them, Horsa
andVortigern's son, Catigern. Hengist eventually called for a
peaceconference on Salisbury Plain. The Britains arrived and
were promptly cutdown where they stood. Vortigern escaped to
set up a stronghold in the west. He chose to build acastle on
the southern slopes of Yr Aran, above Beddgelert
(Gwynedd).Construction began. However, every morning the
previous day's work wasfound demolished. Vortigern's magicians
told him to seek a boy with nofather, born of the fairies. He
would be able to solve the High-King'sproblem. Vortigern's men
searched far and wide and discovered such a boyat what was soon
to become Caer-Myrddin (Carmarthen). His name wasMyrddin Emrys,
or 'Merlin' for short. Merlin revealed that at night
themountain shook so that all buildings collapsed because
beneath it wereburied two fighting dragons -- one white
representing the Saxons and onered representing the British,
and the white one was winning! Afraid ofsuch an omen, Vortigern
fled. Disillusioned, the British finally rebelled against their
High-King andConstantine's son. Ambrosius Aurelianus (Emrys
Wledig), now a burlyyoung man, returned to lead their struggle.
Merlin handed over to him themountain site where Vortigern had
failed to build, and it became his fortof Dinas Emrys.
Vortigern took refuge in a wooden castle on therefortified hill
fort of Caer-Guorthigirn (Little Doward) above Ganarew,but it
was miraculously struck by lightning and he burnt to death! He
waslater buried in a small chapel in Cwm Gwrtheyrn on the Lleyn
Peninsula.It was left to Ambrosius Aurelianus to halt the Saxon
advance. [DavidNash Ford, The Kingdoms of Wales: Biographies]

Also Known As: Charles "Le Simple". Born: on 17 Sep 879 in Clermont, Oise, France, son of Louis II, King de France and Adelaide=Adelheid de Paris . (Or was his mother Judith. If he was born posthumously it would have been by the second wife)

Note - between 893 and 929: Charles III was the posthumous son of Louis "Le Begue", and was crowned King in 893 by Fouques, Archbishop of Reims, with the full support of Odon's brother Robert, Richard of Burgundy, William of the Auvergne and Herbert of Vermandois. Baldwin (Baudouin) of Flanders made his submission later. He was a rival of the effective King, the Count Eudes who, upon Odon's death in 898, recognized Charles' rights. With the Treaty of Saint-Clair-sur-Epte (911), Charles gave Normandy to the Viking Chief Rollo making him first Duke of Normandy, and pacifying the Seine Vikings. That year, 911, Charles also became King of Lotharingia, which may have been related in part to the fact that his first wife, Frederuna who bore him 6 daughters, was Lotharingian. He revived the title Rex Francorum. In 919, when Charles fought the Magyars, none of the nobles except for Heriveus, the Archbishop of Reims sent him any troops for assistance. In 920, Robert led a revolt against Charles.

Some Lotharingian nobles, led by Gilbert (Gislebert) son of Ragnar Longneck, declared their independence from Charles' authority. Gilbert invoked the aid of the new ruler of the East Franks, a Saxon known as Henry "the Fowler" ("l'Oiseleur"). Charles, after quelling the resistance of the Lotharingian Count Ricoin made a treaty with Henry at Bonn in 921. They met on equal terms as Rex Francorum Occidentalium (Charles) and Rex Francorum Orientalium (Henry). Charles was deposed in 922 by Herbert, Count of Vermandois upon the death of his main supporter, Richard of Burgundy. Charles and his favorite Hagano fled to hide in Lotharingia. During his absence, Robert was elected King and crowned by Walter, Archbishop of Sens under the nose of Heriveus who was on his deathbed (he died 3 days later). Charles met Robert in battle at Soissons on 15 June 923. Robert was killed, but the forces led by his son Hugh and by Herbert of Vermandois defeated the King's army and Charles retreated. On 13 July 923, a new King Ralph, the eldest son of Richard The Justiciar of Burgundy was elected King and anointed in the Church of St. Medard at Soissons by Walter, Archbishop of Sens.

Married between 905 and 929: N. concubines; Charles Le Simple had several concubines throughout his adulthood.
Married in Apr 907: Frederune de Lotharingie, daughter of Dietrich, Count de Lotharingie ; Charles III Le Simple had 6 daughters with Frederune, his first wife.
Married in 917: Eadgifu=Ogive=Hadwige, Princess of England, daughter of Edward I, King of England and Eadgifu=Edgiva of Kent.

Died: on 7 Oct 929 in Peronne, Somme, France, at age 50 Charles was murdered while in captivity at the Tower of Peronne on 7-Oct-929. Charles III is buried at Saint Fursy.

When Heremon died, he was succeeded by three of his four sons named Muimne, Luigne and Laighean, who reigned jointly for three years, and were slain by their Heberian successors.

The following is taken from Michael Raffin's notes on Prodigy:

Heremon and his eldest brother Heber were, jointly, the first Milesian
Monarchs of Ireland. They began to reign in A.M. 3500, or 1699 B.C. When
Heremon slew his brother, Heber, at Geshill in 1698 B.C., the third brother,
Amergin claimed an equal share of government. In a battle between them,
Amergin was slain by Heremon. Thus, Heremon became sole Monarch, ruled singly for fourteen years, and made a new division of the land among his friends and comrades: The South part, now called Munster, he gave to his brother Heber's four sons (Er, Orba, Feron and Fergna); the North part or Coigeadh Galian (now called Leinster), Heremon gave to Criomthann-sciath-bheil, one of his commanders; The West part (now called Connaught) Heremon gave to Un-Mac-Oigge, another of his commanders; allotting a part of Munster to Lughaidh (son of Ithe and first discoverer of Ireland). During Heremon's reign, a certain colony called "Cruithneaigh" (in English "Cruthneans") or Picts, arrived in Ireland and requested Heremon to assign them a part of the country to settle in, which he refused. Giving them as wives, the widows of the slain Tuatha-de-Danans, Heremon sent them with a strong party of his own to conquer the country then called "Alba", but now Scotland, conditionally that they should be tributary to the Monarchs of Ireland. From Heremon, the youngest of the three surviving brothers, are descended 114 sole Monarchs of Ireland, the provincial kings and Hermonian nobility and gentry of Leinster, Connaught, Meath, Orgiall, Tirowen, Tirconnell, and Clan-na-boy, as well as the kings of Dalriada, all of the kings of Scotland from Fergus Mor MacEarca down to the Stuarts and all of the kings and queens of England from Henry II to the present Died: 1683 BC in Ireland When Heremon died, he was succeeded by three of his four sons named Muimne, Luigne and Laighean, who reigned jointly for three years, and were slain by their Heberian successors. Married before 1700 BC: N?. Born: before 1715 BC in Spain -, son of Milesius of Spain and N? - Heremon is presumed to have been at least 15 years of age by the time his son Irial was born.

Heremon was grandson to the Egyptian Pharioh mentioned in the Exodus.
Tamar Tephi ha Galamh ancient Irish King

According to Andre' Roux and Irish Pedigrees by O'Hart.

Milesuis traces directly back to Adam and Eve.

Milesuis of Spain: The original name of Milesuis of Spain was "Galanh"
("gall" - Irish for a Stranger, and "amh" a negative affix) which means "No
stranger". This implies that Milesuis was no stranger in Egypt where he was
called "Milethea Spaine" which was afterward contracted to "Mile Spaine"
meaning the Spanish Hero, and finally to "Milesuis" ("mileadh" - Irish for
Hero; miles - Latin for a soldier). Milesuis, in his youth, and during his
father's lifetime went into Scythia, where he was kindly received by the King
of that country, who gave him his daughter in marriage and appointed him
General of his forces. In this capacity, Milesuis defeated the King's subjects.

His growing glory, greatness and popularity earned him the jealously of the
King. Fearing the worst, the King resolved to dispatch Milesuis out of the
way, not daring to oppose him in public. Admonished of the King's intention in that regard, Milesuis slew him and thereupon quitted Scythia and retired into Egypt with a fleet of 60 sails. Pharaoh Nectonibus, then King of Egypt, being informed of his arrival and of his great valor, wisdom and conduct in arms, made him General of all his forces against the King of Ethiopia. Here, as in Scythia, Milesuis was victorious and forced the enemy to submit to the
conqueror's terms of peace. By these exploits, Milesuis found great favor
with Pharaoh, who gave him, being then a widower, his daughter Scota in
marriage, and kept him eight years afterwards in Egypt. During the sojourn of Milesuis in Egypt, he employed the most ingenious and able persons among his sciences used in Egypt, in order to have them taught to the rest of the people on his return to Spain. At length, Milesuis took leave of his father-in-law and went to Spain where he was welcomed by his people who in turn were being harassed by the rebellion of the natives and by the intrusion of other foreign who invaded after his father's death and during his absence from Spain. In 54 battles, victoriously fought, Milesuis routed, destroyed and totally extirpated them out of the country which he settled in peace and quietness. In his reign, a great death and famine occurred in Spain for about 26 years in part due to the invasions and battles as well as to lack of rain. Milesuis, being superstitious, believed the famine to have fallen upon him and his people as a judgment of punishment from their gods, for their negligence in seeking out the country destined for their final abode, so long before foretold by Chachear, their Druid. To expiate his fault and to comply with the will of his gods, Milesius with the general approbation of his people, sent his Uncle Ithe with his son Lughaidh (Luy=Louis), and 150 stout men to bring them an account of those western islands. Ithe, accordingly arrived at the island now called Ireland, landing in that part of it called Munster, left his son with 50 of his men to guard the ship, and with the rest traveled about the island.

Ithe found that the three sons of Cearmad, called Mac-Cuill, MacCeacht, and
MacGreine, had ruled for the previous 30 years each for one year and in turn.
The country was called after the names of their three queens - Eire, Fodhla
and Banbha, respectively, changing name in accordance with the husband who
then ruled. Since then, however, the island has indifferently been called
most commonly "Eire", because MacCuill, her husband, ruled and governed the
country in the year the Clan-na-Mile (Milesuis sons) arrived in and conquered
Ireland.

While greeted first favorably, Ithe was then attacked and slain by the forces
of the three sons of Cearmad in a plain called Magh Ithe ("plain of Ithe" in
the Barony of Raphoe, County Donegal). Ithe's son brought the body back to
Spain. Thereupon, Milesuis made preparations to invade Ireland, equally to
avenge his uncle's death as to obey his gods. Before he could effect that
objective, Milesuis died, charging his eight sons and his two wives with the
invasion. Soon after Milesuis' death, with a large fleet and numerous
soldiers, they set forth from Breoghan's Tower or Brigantia (now Corunna) in
Galicia in Spain, and set sail for the coast of Ireland or Inis-Fail, where
they had great difficulties due to the magic arts used by the Tuatha-de-Danans to obstruct their landing, and raised so great a storm that the Milesian fleet was totally dispersed and wherein five of Milesuis' eight sons lost their lives. That part of the fleet commanded by Heber, Heremon and Amergin and also Heber Donn (son of Ir), overcame all opposition and routed the three Tuatha-de-Danan Kings at Slieve-Mis. Thence, they pursued and overtook them at Tailten where, after a bloody battle, the kings and their queens were slain and their armies utterly destroyed. Milesuis bore three lions on his standard because while passing through Africa in his younger days, he, by cunning and great valor, killed three lions in one morning. In memory of such a noble and valiant exploit, he thenceforth, bore three lions on his shield as well.

After their conquest of Ireland, his two surviving sons Heber and Heremon, and his grandson Heber Donn, son of Ir, divided the lions amongst them, each of them bearing a Lion on his shield and banner but of different colors.

From the Book The General History of Ireland by Keating (The Voyage of the
Milesians from Gothland to Spain), the famous Gallamh, who was called Milesius of Spain, who was son of Bille, son of Breogan, who though he be the last named of all brothers, yet the most authentic records of the kingdom allow him to be the eldest son. The Family of Breogan obtained such character among the Spaniards that by assistance of their hardy Gadelians, they almost made conquest of the whole county, and obtained some of the principal offices in the government. The young prince Gallamh fought with great bravery in many engagements against the natives, he resolved to undertake a voyage to Scythia, to visit his royal relations in that county. Accordingly he fit about 30 ships and when he furnished his fleet with sufficient necessaries and provisions, he manned it with the stoutest of the Gadelian troops, and weighted anchor. He steered his course through the western sea till he came into the Mediterranean, and passing by Scythia and Crete, he sailed northwards, Egean into Euxine Sea, and so entering the river Tanais he landed in Scythia.
Scota Tephi Nectaebus Bile Note: Bile was king of Galicia, Andalusia, Murcia, Castile and the land of Portugal. It was Bile's father who "jumped" the pillars of Hercules to conquer those lands. He was a chief of Gothia and Getulia, which comprised what is now Lybia. And we know that Ireland (aka Ir from the son of Milesius; Hibernia to the Romans) was first planted about 300 years after the Flood, by Magog, grandson of Noah, and 12 generations down from Adam.

As it is, we find that the early Greeks worshipped him as IAPETOS, or IAPETUS, whom they regarded as the son of heaven and earth, and the father of many nations. Likewise, in the ancient Sanskrit vedas of India, he is remembered as PRA-JAPATI, the sun and ostensible Lord of Creation. His name was further corrupted and assimilated into the Roman pantheon as IUPATER, which eventually became that of Jupiter. None of these names are recognized as being of Greek, Indian or Latin origin; but are rather mere corruptions of the Hebrew name of Japheth. Similarly, the early Saxon races perpetuated his name as Sceaf, (Pr. 'sheef,' or 'shaif,') and recorded his name in their early genealogies as the son of Noah, the forebear of their various peoples.

Japheth was the the father of seven sons from whom descended the 'goyim', or Gentile, nations, a name that implies nothing concerning religion but meaning simply non-Israelite, or "foreigner".

BIOGRAPHY: Krogh gives a marvelously detailed description of Joseph's career and a convincing model from extra-Biblical sources. Briefly, Joseph's career spanned a civil war in Egypt near the end of the Eleventh Dynasty in the Middle Kingdom. Among the Pharaohs mentioned during this time are:

BIOGRAPHY: Merikare of Heraclepolis, who wore the serpent crown when Joseph first arrived in Egypt. The butler and baker, thrown into prison where Joseph had in essence become the Senior Trustee, were part of Merikare's court.

BIOGRAPHY: Mentuhotep of Thebes, Merikare's opponent, who ultimately defeated him. This was the Pharaoh who had the troubling dreams and who accepted Joseph as his grand vizier in order to avert a national disaster that would also become a personal one for him.

Sweyn II ESTRIDSEN, Danish SVEND ESTRIDSEN, Norwegian SVEIN ESTRIDSSON (b. c 1020, Denmark - d. 28 April 1074, Denmark), king of Denmark (1047-74) who ended a short period of Norwegian domination (1042-47).

The son of Ulf, a Danish earl, and Estrid, a sister of Canute I the Great, Sweyn fled to Sweden after his father was murdered in 1027 on orders of Canute. After the death of Canute (1035), when Hardecanute was ruling in Denmark and Magnus in Norway, the young kings agreed that whoever lived longer would rule both countries. Under this agreement Magnus became king also of Denmark in 1042 [when Hardecanute died] and appointed Sweyn viceroy. While Magnus was fighting the Wends (Slavs) in 1043, Sweyn, who was favoured by the Danish nobles, was proclaimed king, provoking a war over the Danish throne with Magnus and then with his successor, Harald III Hardraade (reigned 1045-1066).

Although Sweyn's forces were continually defeated, Harald's troops were mainly interested in plunder and failed to conquer Denmark. The two rulers recognized each other as sovereign in their respective countries in 1064 while Harald was preparing to attack England. Strengthened by Harald's death in 1066, Sweyn sponsored a successful Danish attack on England in 1069, aiding Anglo-Saxon rebels against William I the Conqueror. Although the Danish forces achieved a favourable position, Sweyn, by an agreement with William I in 1070 withdrew his troops.

On returning to Denmark, Sweyn worked to free the Danish Christian church from control by the archbishop of Bremen and by the English church, and he cooperated with Pope Gregory VII. Knowledgeable in history and geography, Sweyn was Adam of Bremen's main source on Scandinavian affars in the latter's valuable "Gesta Hammaburgensis ecclesiaue pontificum" (c. 1070-75; "History of the Archbishops of Hamburg-Bremen"). Five of Sweyn's sons succeeded to the throne, and his dynasty (the Valdemars) reigned for 300 years. [Encyclopaedia Britannica]

(Even in later years, it has been customary for some monarchs to have both personal [real] birthdays, and separtate official birthdays.) It was not until AD 314, that the Roman Emperor Constantine the Great arbitrarily changed the date of Jesus's offical birthday to 25 December, on which date it is still celebrated today - with many presuming it to be his real physical birthday. Constantine's reason for making this change was two-fold. Firstly, it separated the Christian celebration from any Jewish association - thereby suggesting the Jesus was himself a Christian and not a Jew. (In later times, Easter was similarly moved away from its traditional Passover connection.) Secondly, the Emperor adjusted Jesus's official birthday so that it would coincide with, and replace, the contemporary pagan Sun Festival. However, in the contemporary setting of Jesus's own time, 15 September AD 33 - six months after the Crucifixtion - was his 39th offical birthday, and in that month a daughter was born to Mary. She was named Tamar - Palm tree (assimilated in Greek to the name Damaris), a traditional Davidic family name.

MARRIAGE: First marr. took place in Sept AD 30 (his 36th September), the very occasion on which Mary Magdalene first anointed his feet (Luke 7:37-38). There was, however, no conception that December AD 32 Mary did concieve, and duly anointed Jesus's head and feet at Bethany (Matthew 26:6-7, Mark 14:3, and John 12:1-3), formally sanctifying their Second Marriage in March AD 33.

    From 427 their king was Genseric (Gaiseric), who in 429 landed in North Africa with about 80,000 of his followers. It is a disputed point whether or not he was called to Africa by the Roman governor Boniface on account of the intrigues of Aetius. Peace was made between the Romans and Vandals in 435 but it was broken by Genseric in 439, who made Carthage his capital after he had thoroughly plundered it. During the next thirty-five years with a large fleet he ravaged the coasts of the Eastern and Western Empires. In 455 he plundered Rome itself during two weeks. It is asserted that the Empress Eudoxia had asked him to free her from her hated marriage with the Emperor Petronius Maximus, the murderer of her husband Valentinian III.

d? 1/30/684

Event: Ethnicity Saxon
Event: Cannonized St Balthilde
St. Bathilde
(Or BATILDE).

Wife of Clovis II, King of France, time and place of birth unknown; d. January; 680. According to some chronicles she came from England and was a descendant of the Anglo-Saxon kings, but this is a doubtful statement. It is certain that she was a slave in the service of the wife of Erchinoald, mayor of the palace of Neustria. Her unusual qualities of mind and her virtues inspired the confidence of her master who gave many of the affairs of the household into her charge and, after the death of his wife, wished to marry her. At this the young girl fled and did not return until Erchinoald had married again. About this time Clovis II met her at the house of the mayor of the palace, and was impressed by her beauty, grace, and the good report he had of her. He freed and married her, 649. This sudden elevation did not diminish the virtues of Bathilde but gave them a new lustre. Her humility, spirit of prayer, and large-hearted generosity to the poor were particularly noticeable.

Seven years after their marriage Clovis II died, 656, leaving Bathilde with three sons, Clothaire, Childeric, and Thierry. An assembly of the leading nobles proclaimed Clothaire III, aged five, king under the regency of his mother, Bathilde. Aided by the authority and advice of Erchinoald and the saintly bishops, Eloi (Eligius) of Noyon, Ouen of Rouen, Leéger of Autun, and Chrodebert of Paris, the queen was able to carry out useful reforms. She abolished the disgraceful trade in Christian slaves, and firmly repressed simony among the clergy. She also led the way in founding charitable and religious institutions, such as hospitals and monasteries. Through her generosity the Abbey of Corbey was founded for men, and the Abbey of Chelles near Paris for women. At about this date the famous Abbeys of Jumièges, Jouarre, and Luxeuil were established, most probably in large part through Bathilde's generosity. Berthilde, the first Abbess of Chelles, who is honoured as a saint, came from Jouarre. The queen wished to renounce her position and enter the religious life, but her duties kept her at court. Erchinoald died in 659 and was succeeded by Ebroin. Notwithstanding the ambition of the new mayor of the palace, the queen was able to maintain her authority and to use it for the benefit of the kingdom. After her children were well established in their respective territories, Childeric IV in Austrasia and Thierry in Burgundy, she returned to her wish for a secluded life and withdrew to her favourite Abbey of Chelles near Paris.

On entering the abbey she laid down the insignia of royalty and desired to be the lowest in rank among the inmates. It was her pleasure to take her position after the novices and to serve the poor and infirm with her own hands. Prayer and manual toil occupied her time, nor did she wish any allusion made to the grandeur of her past position. In this manner she passed fifteen years of retirement. At the beginning of the year 680 she had a presentiment of the approach of death and made religious preparation for it. Before her own end, that of Radegonde occurred, a child whom she had held at the baptismal font and had trained in Christian virtue. She was buried in the Abbey of Chelles and was canonized by Pope Nicholas I. The Roman martyrology places her feast on 26 January; in France it is celebrated 30 January.

Todd A. Farmerie reviews the article "Autour de Roger de Vieux: les alliances matrimoniales des comtes de Carcassonne" from the Annales du Midi, 108:165-187, by Thierry Stasser in a 16 July 1998 posting to GEN-MEDIEVAL (subject: Carcassonne (Toulouse and Rouergue)). Farmerie
thinks this is the best work done to date with these families. Per Farmerie, Stasser's article identifies Andregoto as the most likely candidate for the wife of COUNT RAIMOND II OF TOULOUSE. Farmerie does not identify Andregoto's mother. Don't know if Stasser does. The
pertinent portion of Farmerie's posting follows:
. "Raymond II of Toulouse is usually given a wife Guidinilde, but Stasser presents an alternative hypothesis. The Codice de Roda says that Pons of Toulouse (usually taken to be Raymond Pons) married a daughter of Garcia Sanchez. It also states that Garcia had daughters Andregoto and _____. This is problematic, since Garsinde, wife of Raymond Pons, appears to have belonged to a different family. A forged charter (thought to contain authentic genealogical material) relating to the abbey of Sainte-Croix de Bordeaux names a Count William of Bordeaux,
with parents Raymond and Andregoto. Based on these two fragments of information, Stasser suggests that the Codice de Roda married the daughter of Garcia to the wrong Raymond, and that it was Raymond II who married Andregoto Garces, and by her had Raymond Pons and William of Bordeaux.

Regarding Suevi:

Suevi, collective name for a number of German tribes (including the Marcomanni and Lombards), mentioned in the 1st century BC by Julius Caesar as dwelling east of the Rhine River. The Roman historian Cornelius Tacitus described (1st century AD) them as inhabiting all central Germany. One group of Suevi allied themselves with the Vandals and the Alans and swept down on the Iberian Peninsula in AD 407. By 411 they were established in northern Portugal and Galicia and by 452 in Castile. They adopted Catholic Christianity and ruled until the end of the 6th century when they were finally subjugated by the Visigoths. The Suevi who remained in Germany are the ancestors of the medieval Swabians. The name is also spelled Suebi.

Carthage was fortified against barbarian attack in 425. In 439 the Vandal king Gaiseric subjugated the city. It remained the Vandal capital until 533, when the Byzantine general Belisarius captured the city, renaming it Colonia Justiniana Carthago in honor of the Byzantine emperor Justinian I.

Fausta's full name was Flavia Maxima Fausta.[[1]] She was the daughter of the emperor Maximian and his Syrian wife Eutropia.[[2]] The date of her birth has been the subject of scholarly debate.[[3]] She was born and raised in Rome.[[4]]

In 307 Fausta was married to the emperor Constantine.[[5]] An anonymous Gallic orator composed a panegyric for the occasion.[[6]] The marriage quite possibly took place at Trier.[[7]] Although both Constantine's and Fausta's specific dates of birth are subject to question, it is certain that he was her senior by fifteen or more years. Constantine's drive for sole power must have put a strain on the relationship on at least two occasions. In 310, when Maximian plotted against Constantine, Fausta revealed the plot, thus contributing to her own father's end.[[8]] On 28 October 312 Fausta's brother, the emperor Maxentius, suffered defeat and lost his life in the famous Battle of the Milvian Bridge. The next day his body was recovered from the Tiber River. Constantine had the severed head affixed to a pike and carried through the streets of Rome.[[9]] We do not know Fausta's reaction to this act of brutality.

Fausta was mother to three sons and two daughters. The three sons were Constantine II, born on 7 August 316 (?), Constantius II, born on 7 August 317, and Constans, born in 320 or 323.[[10]] These three were appointed Caesars on 1 March 317, 8 November 324, and 25 December 333, respectively.[[11]] The two daughters were Constantina (not to be confused with Constantine's half-sister Constantia) and Helena (not to be confused with Constantine's mother and Crispus' wife of the same name). We do not know the years of their birth, only that Constantina was the older one of the two.[[12]] As the emperor's wife Fausta held the rank of nobilissima femina.[[13]] Not too long after his victory over Licinius, that is in 324 or 325, Constantine granted her the rank of Augusta,[[14]] as he also did to his mother Helena[[15]]

Fausta's life ended in a most unfortunate way. Her own husband ordered her to be executed in 326, shortly after he had his son Crispus executed.[[16]] We even learn the means of execution: she was suffocated in an over-heated bath.[[17]] Two later sources, Zosimus and Zonaras, report that Fausta and Crispus were involved with each other in an illicit Phaedra-and-Hippolytus type of relationship.[[18]] We may entertain doubts about the nature of their offense and also about the means of Fausta's execution.[[19]] But the two deaths are so close together in time and our sources so unanimous on this point that there must be some connection between the two cases.[[20]] We shall not be surprised to find that Fausta suffered damnatio memoriae.[[21]]

We must deny any validity to Zosimus'[[22]] claim that Constantine was driven to accept Christianity by a sense of guilt over his deeds. A similar claim had already been made by Julian the Apostate.[[23]] That Fausta and Crispus together plotted treason is reported by Gregory of Tours,[[24]] but is very unlikely: what would have been their common interest? It has also been claimed that Fausta took her own life;[[25]] there is no support for this claim in any of our sources. Nor do our sources say where Fausta met her end.[[26]] Strangely enough, Julian the Apostate has words of high praise for Fausta in the panegyric which he addressed to Constantius II, probably in 355.[[27]] Did Constantius II try to restore his mother's honor?

Maximianus Herculius' Early Career
Perhaps born ca. 249/250 A.D. in Sirmium in the area of the Balkans, Marcus Aurelius Valerius Maximianus, more commonly known as Maximianus Herculius, had been a soldier before he put on the purple. A fellow soldier with theEmperor Diocletian, he had served in the military during the reigns of Aurelian and Probus. He may have served under Carus in Mesopotamia in 283 and it was likely that he was with his future co-ruler Diocletian when the latter was proclaimed emperor at Nicomedeia on 20 November 284. His wife Eutropia bore him two children: Maxentius and Fausta. An older daughter, Theodora, may have been a step daughter.[[1]]

Herculius' Family Connections
When the Emperor Diocletian determined that the empire was too large for one man to govern on his own, he made Maximianus his Caesar in 285/6 and elevated him to the rank of Augustus in perhaps the spring of 286. While Diocletian ruled in the East, Maximian ruled in the West. In 293, in order to maintain and to strengthen the stability of the empire, Diocletian appointed Constantius I Chlorus to serve Herculius as a Caesar in the West, while Galerius did the same job in the East. This arrangement, called the "Tetrarchy", was meant not only to provide a stronger foundation for the two emperors' rule, but also to end any possible fighting over the succession to the throne once the two senior Augusti had left the throne--a problem which had bedeviled the principate since the time of the Emperor Augustus. To cement the relationship between Herculius and his Caesar, Constantius married Maximianus' elder daughter Theodora. A decade later, Constantius' son Constantine would marry Herculius' younger daughter Fausta.[[2]]

Herculius' Military Activities
To a large degree, Herculius spent the early years of his reign engaging in lackluster campaigning. Although he was able to quell the Bagaudae fairly easily in 286, it was with some measure of difficulty that he put down a German invasion of Gaul in the fall of the same year. Additionally, he appointed Carausius to command his navy and to defeat the pirates; because of certain financial irregularities that had occurred during his successful tour, Carausius revolted and declared himself emperor. Britain and the northern part of Gaul sided with the usurper. On his own, Maximanus was unable to repress him; he and his Praetorian Prefect Constantius attempted to deal with both the on-going problem of Carausius and the continued Germanic incursions of his realm. As soon as Constantius was appointed Caesar in 293, he recovered northern Gaul after he defeated Carausius near Bononia and repressed any sparks of rebellion in the region. It was not until 296, however, that the Caesar was able to recover Britain by defeating Carausius' successor Allectus; while he campaigned in Britain, Maximianus stood watch on the Rhine. Between 297 and 299 the Augustus seems to have fought the Moors in Spain and taken the offensive against African tribes in the general area of Carthage. The emperor appears to have spent the remainder of his reign in a state of indolence in Milan or Aquileia and was content to allow Constantius to shoulder the real burdens of state including, among other things, the German threat.[[3]]

In political matters, the emperor and his Caesar were very different. Maximianus was allegedly very heavy handed when dealing with members of the Roman Senate, whereas his Caesar's relationship with the patricians was apparently fairly good. Surprisingly, when faced with the edicts which provided the legal foundation for the "Great Persecution" in 303, both Maximianus Herculius and Constantius seem to have been more moderate in their dealings with Christians than Diocletian and Galerius who rigorously enforced the laws in the Eastern portion of the empire. The Caesar limited his actions to the demolition of churches.[[4]]

Maximianus' Resignation
On 1 May 305 Diocletian, at Nicomedeia, and Maximianus Herculius, at Mediolanum, divested themselves of the purple. Their resignations seem largely due to the almost fatal illness that Diocletian contracted toward the end of 304. Diocletian seems to have forced his colleague to abdicate. In any case, Herculius had sworn an oath at the temple of Capitoline Jupiter to carry out the terms of the abdication. Constantius and Galerius were appointed as Augusti, with Maximinus Daia and Severus as the new Caesars. The retired emperors then returned to private life. Diocletian's retirement was at Salonae in Dalmatia, while Herculius' retreat was either in Lucania or Campania.[[5]]

Herculius' Swansong
Herculius' retirement, however, was of short duration because, a little more than a year later on 28 October 306, his son Maxentius was proclaimed emperor at Rome. To give his regime an aura of legitimacy, Maximianus was forced to affirm his son's acclamation. When Galerius learned of Maxentius' rebellion, he sent Severus against him with an army that had formerly been under his father's command. Maxentius invested his father with the purple again to win over his enemy's troops, a ruse which succeeded. Perhaps to strengthen his own position, in 307 he went to Gaul and married his daughter Fausta to Constantine. When Constantine refused to become embroiled in the civil war between Galerius and Maxentius, Herculius returned to Rome in 308 and attempted to depose his son; however, he did not succeed. When he was unable to convince Diocletian to take up the purple again at a meeting in Carnuntum in late 308, he returned to his son-in-law's side in Gaul. Although he was treated with all of the respect due a former emperor, he still desired to be more than a figurehead. He decided to seize the purple from Constantine when his son-in-law least expected it. His opportunity came in the summer of 310 when the Franks revolted. When Constantine had taken a small part of his army into enemy territory, Maximianus proclaimed himself again emperor and paid the soldiers under his command a donative to secure their loyalty. As soon as Constantine received news about Maximianus' revolt in July 310, he went south and reached Arelate before his father-in-law could mount a defense of the city. Although Maximianus fled to Massilia, his son-in-law seized the city and took Maximianus prisoner. Although he was deprived of the purple, he was granted pardon for his crimes.[[6]] Unable to endure the humiliation of his defeat, he attempted to have Constantine murdered in his bed. The plot failed because he tried to get his daughter Fausta's help in the matter; she chose to reveal the matter to her husband. Because of this attempt on his son-in-law's life Maximianus was dead by the end of July either by his own hand or on the orders of his intended victim.[[7]]

city, capital of the Moselle département, Lorraine région,northeastern France, at the
confluence of the Moselle and Seille rivers, northwest ofStrasbourg and south of the
Luxembourg frontier. It was partly rebuilt and its suburbsconsiderably extended after World
War II.

Metz derives its name from the Mediomatrici, a Gallic tribe whomade it their capital. It was
fortified by the Romans. In the 3rd century it was evangelized,and it became a bishopric in
the 4th century. After being plundered by the Huns in the 5thcentury, the city passed under
Frankish domination. In 843, at the partition of the CarolingianEmpire, Metz became the
capital of Lorraine. During the Middle Ages, the city was a freetown within the Holy Roman
Empire and grew prosperous. After the Reformation in the 16thcentury, when Metz became
Protestant and was in danger of being subjected to persecution,Henry II of France (reigned
1547-59), though a Roman Catholic, offered to defend it,successfully withstanding a siege
by Charles V, the Holy Roman emperor, in 1552. The Frenchcontinued to occupy the town;
and in 1648, at the Peace of Westphalia, it was ceded to Francewith Toul and Verdun.

During the 1870-71 Franco-Prussian War the French troopsretreated into Metz after an
indecisive battle. The Germans besieged the town, and 54 dayslater the French were forced
to capitulate. Metz was returned to France after World War I.During World War II it was
occupied by the Germans and in 1944 was liberated only after along battle.

Metz has pleasant promenades along the banks of the MoselleRiver, which divides into
several arms as it flows through the city. The Gothic cathedralof Saint-Étienne was originally
formed when two 12th-century churches were joined into a singleedifice. The transept and
the nave, one of the highest of French Gothic churches, havehuge pointed windows. The
two towers were begun in the 13th century. The cathedral hasremarkable 13th- and
14th-century stained-glass windows, as well as contemporary onesby the painters Marc
Chagall and Jacques Villon. The old city gate, the Porte desAllemands (Gate of the
Germans), built in the 13th and 15th centuries, which was partlydestroyed during World
War II, has imposing crenellated towers. The museum has acollection of Gallo-Roman
antiquities, which are exhibited in the vestiges of Roman bathsdiscovered in 1935.

Metz, a railway junction on the Nancy-Luxembourg line, is alsothe centre of a complex road
and motorway network and is located in a commanding position onthe canalized Moselle. It
is also near the Lorraine iron-mining basin and near the Mosellecoal mines. The manufacture
of automobile, electrical, and mechanical equipment and of foodproducts (brewing, canned
foods) and the processing of tobacco are among the mainindustries. The University of Metz
was founded in 1971. Pop. (1990) 123,920.

He had died by 919, and Cunegund remarried Rikwin (Ricoin) Ct of Verdun. Rikwin was murdered in 923 by Boso, brother of King Raoul of France, at the suggestion, so he claimed, of Adelbero of Metz. Wigeric/Widric did come from an influential family: the name is found across the region at this time, e.g., a Wigeric was Bp of Metz 916-27.

Neuserre ruled: 2416 - 2392 BC

King Niuserre was the son of king Nefererkare and succeeded his elder brother Neferefre on the throne when he died as a young man. Being not very old himself (probably in his early twenties) Niuserre had a time on the throne (of disputable duration) under which he accomplished building projects of vast size and high quality. Besides his own pyramid complex and big solar temple of stone, he also finished the monuments of his father and mother and to a curtain extent also his brother's.
From this time come graves of officials showing great wealth and this slow shift of power made the Old Kingdom collapse at the end of the next dynasty.

Alexander was married to Sybilla, an illegitimate daughter of Henry I.At that time it was called a natural child. Henry I in turn was marriedto Alexander's sister Maud. Everything was so interrelational bymarriage. Henry and Maud had no legitimate children. He was called theFierce after dealing with an uprising in Moray. Although he wastechnically an English vassal, he dissuaded Scottish bishops fromaccepting the authority of York and appointed his mother's biographerRugot to the see of St. Andrews. He was described as a lettered and godlyman but was nicknamed "the Fierce" after dealing ruthlessly with anuprising.

He was the most distinguished of theSeleucids. Having made vassal states out of Parthia and Bactria,he warred successfully against the Egyptian king Ptolemy V andin 198 bc obtained possession of all of Palestine and Lebanon.He later became involved in a conflict with the Romans, whodefeated him at Thermopylae in 191 bc and at Magnesia (nowManisa, Turkey) in 190 bc. As the price of peace, he was forcedto surrender all his dominions west of the Taurus Mountains andto pay costly tribute. Antiochus, who early in his reign hadrestored the Seleucid Empire, finally forfeited its influence inthe eastern Mediterranean by his failure to recognize the risingpower of Rome. 0265 BC - 0226 BC Seleucus 0287 BC - 0246 BC Antiochus Theos Note: Antiochus II, called Theos ("the divine") (circa 287-246 bc),king of Syria (261-246 bc), son and successor of Antiochus I.The citizens of Miletus, in Asia Minor, called him Theos afterhe freed them from the tyrant Timarchus (flourished 3d centurybc) in 258 bc. Having fought a long and costly war (260-255 bc)against Ptolemy II, king of Egypt, Antiochus won back most ofthe territories his father had lost, only to be defeated in 250bc by his own satrap, or provincial governor, Diodotus I(reigned about 256-235 bc), who seized the Syrian province ofBactria. Subsequently, Antiochus also lost the province ofParthia to the Parthian dynasty of the Arsacids.

The first recorded Waller was Alured De Waller (or Wallur), of Newark, Nottinghamshire, Eng (also called County Notts) about 100 miles north of London.
He married Adeline or Adelina GUMBERT, dau of Henry GUMBERT and Basilla De Hockerton, Regiser of Rufford, 49 to 53; and was the grandson of a Norman soldier. He died in 1183 AD.

The "History of the Norman People" states that the name "WALLER" is related to Valler and Viller. The prefix "de" probably indicates that the family was from a village or landed estate of that name in Normandy. The use of this prefix fell into disuse about 1400.

King Shepseskare is a shadowy figure that so far never has been found portrayed in reliefs or sculptures. If he was the son or brother to his predecessor Nefererkare, we don't know today (year 2002). The Canon of Turin notes him for a reign of seven years and since the figure hasn't been rejected (or confirmed fot that matter) by archaeology, this is generally accepted length. At Abusir seal impressions dated to his reign have been found. It is not known if he built a solar-temple, but old hieroglyphic text tell that six such shrines were built and only two have been found. Remains of a big unfinished pyramid (not excavated) located at Abusir north of the pyramid of Sahure, can possibly be credited to Shepseskare.

Very little is known about king Shepseskare. Almost all Egyptologists agree on that he ruled for a short period between Neferirkare and Neferefre, but a few thinks he ruled after these. His kinship (if any) to the other kings of the 5th Dynasty is not known. The Royal Canon of Turin and Manetho (who calls him Sesiris) notes him for a reign of seven years, and this seems to be a plausible figure. In the Abydos list he is omitted but his name is present in the Sakkara list.
His Horus-name within a serek (seen in picture right) is "Sekhemkhau" meaning "The Power Has Appeared" where the club stand for power and the rising sun for appearance. This was found in the mortuary temple of king Neferefre.
Some of very few remains from his time have been found at Abusir. It's seal impressions dated to his reign and these are almost the only contemporary findings from his brief time on the throne.

But there is a large remnant at Abusir that probably is from him though - what is left of a big pyramid. It is situated north of the complex of Sahure and was found as late as in the 1980s. The work on the monument was hardly begun before it was stopped and consists only of earthwork. The area had been levelled and a foundation was made for the burial chamber. It's possible that the pyramid was intended to be the biggest of all at Abusir, with a base side measuring just over 100 metres, similar in length to king Nefererkere's pyramid.
His title (nomen) in his roll as "Son of Re" is seen within the cartouche left. The duck is a homonym for the word "son" and the sun disc symbolises his "father" - the solar god Re.
His name is put together of the components axe, quail, staff, folded cloth and a mouth and maybe it makes "Netjer-weserw".
Since the kings of dynasty five were completing the buildings of their predecessors it's possible that Shepseskare in his effort didn't have much time left for his own monuments. The since of the unfinished pyramid (if it's his) tells that he had planned to live longer, but obviously he did not.

~1194 - 1237 Hervey de Stafford 43 43 Menkauhor ruled: 2396 - 2388 BC

Menkauhor was a son of king Niuserre whom he succeeded. He abandoned the necropolis of Abusir and its Re-cult, for Sakkara. His pyramid has not been positively identified, but a strong candidate is located at north Sakkara. Few remains are left from his reign. The picture left shows his name within a cartouche from the Abydos list in position number 31.
A break of faith is suggested by his venerating of the falcon god Hor(us) instead of sun god Re.
During his reign one of the most unusual and valuable historical records was made: the "Palermo Stone" with a list of kings and notations going back to the unification of the country some 750 years earlier.

Gilbert de Maminot's barony of West Greenwich (Kent) passed on his death in 1101 to his son Hugh and on Hugh's death before 1131 to Hugh's son Walkeline I, and to the latter's son Walkeline II by 1157. When Walkeline II died childless c. 1190, his heir was his aunt Alice, daughter of Hugh de Maminot.

Source indicated: Sanders, "English Baronies", pp. 97-8 and references cited, p. 97, nn. 9-10. The Emma who temporarily controlled the Maminot barony in 1129-30 (P.R. 31Hen. I, p. 67) was presumably Hugh's widow.

Based on the note contained in the Sources for John S Moore, I assume that Hugh d. 1129, and his widow Emma died in 1130/1.

[Sir Bernard Burke, Dormant, Abeyant, Forfeited, and Extinct Peerages, Burke's Peerage, Ltd., London, 1883, p. 388, Multon, Barons Multon, of Egremont] ABT 1164/1170 - 1240 Thomas de Multon In the 9th and 10th of King John [1208 and 1209] flourished Thomas de Multon who, at that period, was sheriff of the co. Lincoln, and in the 15th of the same reign, attended the king in his expedition then made into Poictou. This Thomas gave 1,000 marks to the crown for the wardship of the daus. and heirs of Richard de Luci, of Egremont, co. Cumberland, and bestowed those ladies afterwards in marriage upon his two sons, Lambert and Alan. In the 17th John [1216], being in arms with the rebellious barons and taken at Rochester Castle, he was committed to the custody of Peter de Mauley to be safely secured, who conveyed him prisoner to the castle of Corfe, but in the 1st Henry III [1216], making his peace, he had restitution of his liberty and his lands. The next year, having m. Ada, dau. and co-heir of Hugh de Morvill, widow of Richard de Lacy, of Egremont, without the king's license, command was sent to the archbishop of York to make seizure of all his lands in Cumberland and to retain them in his hands until further orders. Multon giving security, however, to answer the same whensoever the king should require him to do so, he had livery of all those lands which had been seized for that transgression, with the castle of Egremont. In three years afterwards, he paid £100 fine to the king and one palfrey for the office of forester of Cumberland, it being the inheritance of Ada, his wife. In the 17th Henry III [1233], he was sheriff of Cumberland and remained in that office for several succeeding years. Moreover, he was one of the justices of the king's Court of Common Pleas from the 8th Henry III, and a justice itinerant for divers years from the 8th of the same reign.

He m. twice; by his 1st wife, he had issue, Lambert, m. Annabel de Luci, and Alan, m. Alice de Luci, both daus. and co-heirs of Richard de Lucie. Thomas de Multon m. 2ndly, Ada, dau. and co-heir of Hugh de Morville, and had, by that lady, Thomas, Lord of Multon, and Julian, m. to Robert de Vavasour.

This celebrated feudal lord, who was a liberal benefactor to the church, is thus characterized by Matthew Paris: "In his youth he was a stout soldier, afterwards very wealthy and learned in the laws; but overmuch coveting to enlarge his possessions, which lay contiguous to those of the monks of Crowland, he did them great wrong in many respects." He d. in 1240, and was s. by his eldest son, Lambert de Multon.

Event: Surname Variant De Vallibus

EXCURSUS, VAUX OF HARROWDEN

THE family of Vaux, or de Vallibus, was of Norman extraction and derived its name from a lordship near Falaise in Normandy. In the reign of Stephen, Hubert de Vallibus, or Vaux, and his brother, Robert, were seized of great landed possessions. Hubert, living 1149, held divers lordships in the north of England, among them the barony of Gilsland and the lordship of Triermain in county Cumberland. He was the ancestor of Vaux of Gilsland (which estate passed by the marriage of the heiress, temp. Henry III, to Thomas de Moulton) and of Vaux of Trierman, which line also ended in an heiress, who married, temp. Edw. I, William le Vaux of Catterlyn, ancestor in the female line of Lord Brougham and Vaux.

The younger brother, Robert de Vallibus or Vaux, living temp. of Stephen, held divers lordships in Suffolk and Norfolk, and was founder of Pentney Priory in the last named county. He died, temp. of H. II, and was succeeded by his son, William de Vaux, living temp. Henry II, who was succeeded by his son, Robert de Vaux, who lived in the same reign and was s. by his son, Oliver de Vaux, living temp. John, who accompanied that king to Ireland in 1203, but afterwards joining the barons in their hostile measures, had all his estates forfeited. They were restored to him, 2 H. III, and he was one of those selected to assess the quinzine for Norfolk and Suffolk, 10 Henry III (1225). He was afterwards justice itinerant, 18 Henry III (1234). He married Petronilla, widow of Henry de Mara and of William de Longchamps, and died after 1244, having had issue: ...

d? Mulgrave Castle, Yorkshire, England

Note: A Poitevin. Built Mulgrave Castle Nr Whitby Peter de Mauley, d. 1241 Peter de Mauley, d. 1241, favourite of King John, was a Poitevin noble, who left his inheritance to his brother Aymer, and entered the service of King John. According to the account preserved in Hemingburgh (i. 232), he was employed by John to murder Arthur of Brittany, but no contemporary writer mentions him by name in this connection. He received a grant of land in December 1202 (HARDY, Rot. Normanniæ, p. 66), and is mentioned in the king's service in 1205 (Rot. Lit. Pat. 25 b), and his name is of frequent occurrence in the Close and Patent Rolls during the remainder of John's reign. Hemingburgh states that he was rewarded for his share in Arthur's murder with the hand of Isabel, heiress of the barony of Mulgres, and daughter of Robert de Turnham. Turnham's lands were granted to Mauley on 25 April 1214 (ib. p. 113). Matthew Paris mentions him as one of John's evil counsellors in 1211 (ii. 533). In 1214 he served with John in Poitou (Rot. Lit. Pat. p. 112), and in the following year was entrusted with the charge of Corfe Castle (ib. p. 128), where he had custody of much treasure and various important prisoners. On 26 June 1216 he was made sheriff of the counties of Somerset and Dorset (ib. p. 189). Mauley retained charge of both the castle and the counties during the first years of Henry III. On 7 May 1220 he was summoned to come from Corfe to the coronation, and bring with him the king's brother Richard and the regalia (Rot. Lit. Claus. i. 417 b). In February 1221 he joined with Falkes de Breauté [q.v.] in supporting William, earl of Albemarle, at Biham. He was arrested during the summer, and forced to resign his castles. This was on a charge of treason, in having promised to hand over Eleanor, sister of Arthur of Brittany, to the king of France (COVENTRY, ii. 260; Ann. Mon. iii. 75). He, however, made his peace with the king in the autumn, and next year received the charge of Sherborne Castle. Dugdale says he died in 1222, but the ‘Chronicon de Melsa’ states that he survived his wife, who died apparently after 1235 (i. 105, ii. 59), and Matthew Paris, in referring to his death in 1241, speaks of him as ‘natione Pictaviensis diuque in clientela regis Johannis educatus et ditatus’ (iv. 89; but see also Excerpta e Rot. Finium, pp. 364, 379, 409, and Calendarium Genealogicum,i. 278). It was probably he, and not his son, who supported Randulph Blundevill, earl of Chester, in 1224 (MATT. PARIS, iii. 83), was one of the sponsors for Henry's son Edward in 1239, and in 1241, going on the crusade with William de Fortibus, earl of Albemarle, died in the Holy Land during the same year. He built Mulgrave Castle, near Whitby, and was a benefactor of Meaux Abbey, where he endowed a chapel in memory of his wife. He left a son Peter, who succeeded him, and was followed by six others of the same name. Peter III (d. 1309) was summoned to parliament in 1295, and served in the wars of Edward I in Wales, Scotland, and Gascony. His brother Edmund, who was killed at Bannockburn, was steward to Edward II and a friend of Piers Gaveston (Chron. Edw. I and II, i. 215, 272-273, ii. 42, 183). Peter VIII succeeded his grandfather, Peter VI, in 1383, and died without issue, when the barony fell into abeyance. The present Lord de Mauley is of a modern creation, though he descends from the old barons in the female line. Sources:Matt.

@www.southfrm.demon.co.uk/Genealogy/Barr.html:

Sir John had two sons, John and Edmund, the latter possessed the Manors of Gravely, Letchworth and Cheresfield together with the parkership of the park at Weston near Baldock, and other lands there, all in Hertfordshire, and which had been the property of his mother Margaret and settled after her death on her younger children. By a deed dated the 26 of May in the twelfth year of King Richard the second, it appears, that a recovery had been suffered for these estates after Sir John's death, and an engagement made, that his widow should hold them for her life, and have them in fee simple, in case her son Edmund died before her without issue: but if she died first, then that he and his heirs should have them. This second event must have taken place, as Edmund certainly possessed them and held a court for them at Graveley on the Monday after Easter in the eleventh year of King Henry the Fourth.
On Sir John's death his son John Barrington succeeded to the estates. He seems to have been the first of the family who spelt the name with a G in it. He had from King Edward the Third in the 49th year of his reign, letters patent confirming to him all his grants, that his ancestors had received from Kings Henry the First, Stephen, Henry the Second, and Henry the Third, of the office of woodward and forester of Hatfield, as held originally under William de Montfichet and also of all the lands held under the Crown in Hatfield, Writtle, and elsewhere, reserving to the King an annual rent of seventeen shillings. This patent is not now to be found.
John Barrington married Alice one of the daughters and (after her brother's death) coheirs of Thomas Battail son of Sir John Battail of Ongar Park, Knight and of his wife Elizabeth the dole daughter and heir of Sir Thomas Enfield of High Laver. There is a deed dated July 26th in the 16th year of King Edward the Third, from Thomas Enfield son of the late Sir John Enfield, Knight, by which he released to his brother Richard Enfield all his right in and claim to, lands and tenements with all things belonging to them in Hatfield Regis, Matching, White Rothing and Rothing Abbess. (On the back of the deed, Mr Micklefield has written a memorandum in part illegible, stating that his father-in-law Thomas Barrington had all the lands and tenements therein named in right of his mother Alice, who was heir to her grandfather Thomas Enfield and his brother Richard. John Battail the brother of Alice went on a pilgrimage to Jerusalem and before leaving England made his will, respecting which the following account is found,


John Fitz Thomas de Battail, beinge to goe in pilgrimage to Jerusalem, made his last will and testament in writinge indented, bearing date on Friday next before the Feast of St Matthew the Apostle 21st yeare of Richard the second. Reciteinge that of his free will hee had given and granted, and by his deed of Feoffmt confirmed to Sir Alexander de Walden Kt, John de Boys of Tolleshunt, Thomas Lampet, John Barrington, Robert Rohele and othrs, all his Lands, tenemts, rents and services as well of his free tenants as of vilains, with wards, maniages, heirots, releifes, escheats, and all theire appurtnts in the villa of high Lanfare, little Lanfare, Maude lyn Lanfare, Matchinge, Hatfield Regis, White Rothinge, Abbesse Rothinge and Herlaw in the county of Essex. To have and to hold to them their heires, or assignes for ever, as more fully appears in the said deed of Feoffmt bearing date at High Laver on Thursday next before the feast of the Purification of our lady then last past, and he humble prayed his said Feoffees that if he should dye before his return into England, they would please to pforme his last will and testament thereunder written.--
First he willed that his goods and chattles movable should be sold in the best manner they might, and that the money raised should pay and accomplish all the points the last will of the sayd Thomas his father. And moreover pay all the debts wch the sayd Thomas, my mother his wife, and myself ow to any p~son, and to make due satisfaction of any thing that may have been taken away without reasonable cause, and be made appeare to the sayd Feoffees. Item, to pay to the Abbot and Convent of Walden for the glasse of one window in theire Abbey to have him in theire memorie x markes. Item, to pay to the Abbot and Convent of Waltham to pray form him Cs. Item, to pay to two honest Chaplains for sayinge divine service in the Church of Matchinge for the Soules of his Father, Mother and himself, and for all Christns for three years continually, after his decease, to either of them yearly viij marks. Item, to John Crabbe his servant xls, and to John Kependene to pray for him cs, and further requested his sayd Feoffees, that if they should have knowledge or reports of his death, they should ordain that 1,000 masses should be sayd for his Soule and all Christn Soules in all haste that could be. And gave Thomas Clarke, Vicar of Matching xls and to Godfrey Coterill xs for his travell. And if his movable goods should not be sufficient of value to pay and fulfil his last will; then he requested his Feoffess to retaine in their hands all the said lands and tenemts, untill such time as the profits and revenue thereof his will be performed. Item, if John Swaffin his servant remain in England alice after his decease, and that the Feoffees should have p~fect knowledge that he had well and dutyfully served, then his will was that the said Feoffees should grant unto him xxs yearly rent for his life to be taken out of his rent called Chamberlaine fee in the parish of Maudlin Laver; and if Margaret his sister before his return into England were marryed to John de Boys, then he besought his Feoffees that in case he Dyed before his return they would grant to the said John and Margaret and to the heires of theire bodyes ingendered, the manors called Matchinge Barnis, and Brent Hall. And for the default of such issue that the said two manors be equally parted betweene Alice and the said margaret his two sisters, to have and to hold to them and to their heires and assignes for ever and that all other the lands, Tenemts, rents and services, wherein the sayd Feoffess are infeoffed after his will should be entirely p~formed, should be equally parted between his sayd two sisters, to have and to hold to them and their heires and assignes for ever in fee simple. Yet nothwithstanding if he should return into England in safety and demand refeoffmt of the sayd Feoffees of the all the lands and Tenemts wherein they were by him infeofed, then he willed that John de Boys, Thomas Lampet, &c., shuld kepe in their hands all the lands and Tenemts rents and services which he had in Essex, and profits and revenues thereof till cc marks of the assignmt of his father to the sayd Margaret for her marriage and xxli of his own gift to her for her Chambre be fully payed. Item he prayed the said John de Boys, Thomas Lampet &c., that they would please to take the administration of his goods and fulfill and p~forme his last will taking their reasonable charges for the sd administration.


There is not anything to shew whether John Battail did return to England or not, but after his death a dispute arose between John Barrington, who had married Alice, and John de Boys, who had married Margaret, the two sisters above-named, as to the respective shares of their wives in the testator's property, and after a long controversy it was agreed that the settlement of all the matters in debate between them should be left to the arbitration of the Countess of Hereford, Essex and Northampton; John Barrington gave a bond of £200 to the Countess Gerard de Braybroke and William Marney, only to be enforced in the event of his not abiding by any award the Ladyship might give. A similar bond was given by John de Boys. And on the 26th of January in the 19th year of King Henry the Fourth the Countess published and award in which she stated,


That she already settled in London the partition of the manors of Otes, and the lands and tenements called the Wantons land, Piershall and Aungre. But that she could not then stay longer in London to make a full award as to the manors of Matching Barnis and Brenthall, and also of some other things, the said John Barrington and John de Boys had promised to appear before her at Falkbourne, at a reasonable time, that she might hear the rest of the matters in debate between them.


At which place on their appearance the Countess did award, with the advice of Sir William Thiring and others, the justices of the Common Bench, and of Freres Thomas Palmer, and William Devenere, Masters in Divinity,


That Thomas Lampet and others the Feoffess of the said manors of Matching Barnis and Brenthall should (after the said John Barrington and John de Boys and their wives had released by fine to the said Feoffees, all the right which they and their wives had in the said manors) in feoff the said John de Boys and Margaret his wife in the same. To have and to hold to them and the heirs of their bodies; and if they die without issue, that then the said manors be equally parted, and one moiety of the same remain to the heirs of the said margaret in fee simple, and the other moiety to Alice the wife of John Barrington, which said fine was to be levied before the feast of Candlemas as was comprised in the other indenture made in London. And touching the 200 marks and the £20 devised by the said Thomas to John de Boys for the marriage of the said margaret, the said Lady did award that the said John and Margaret shold not have claim to the same. And the said Lady did award that all debts which had been paid by the said Feoffees for the said John Battail or Thomas his father, shold be demonstrated to her and her counsel in the presence of John Barrington before Candlemas and that all payments of the same debts which should seem to the said Lady and her counsel to have not reasonably and rightly paid, upon reasonable proof thereof made by the said John, should be disallowed. And that all the rest of the profits taken out of the said manor of Oates, and the lands and tenements called Wantonlands, Piershall, and Aungre, and the manors of Matching Barnis, and Brenthall, beyond the right payment of the debts and performance of devises of the said John Fitz Thomas should be parted in manner ensuring, that arising from Oates, Wantonn lands, Piershall, and Aungre equally between the said John Barrington and John de Boys. And those from Matching Barnis and Brenthall to John de Boys. And also for making a final and everlasting agreement between the said parties, the said Lady did award that they should make acquittance each to other, and to the Executors and Administrators of the said John Fitz Thomas, and of his father, touching all actions personal and all other matter soever relating to the said will.

Tuathal was also
known as Tuathal the Legitimate and was the 106th Monarch of Ireland. His
reign began in the year 76 AS and ended in the year 106 when Mal MacRochraidhe
became the 107th Monarch. When Tuathal came of age, he got together with his
friends and, with what aid his grandfather the King of Alba gave him, came
into Ireland and fought and overcame his enemies in 25 battles in Ulster, 25
in Leinster, as many in Connaught, and 35 in Munster. Having thus restored
the true Royal blood and heirs to their respective provincial kingdoms, he saw
fit to take from each of the four provinces [Munster, Leinster, Connaught, and
Ulster] a considerable tract of land which was the next adjoining to Uisneach
[where Tuathal had a palace]; one East, one West, a third South and a fourth
to the North of it. He appointed all four tracts of ground thus taken as
Midhe or Meath to belong forever after to the Monarch's own peculiar demesne
for the maintenance of his table. On each of the several portions, he built a
royal palace for himself and his heirs and successors. For every portion the
Monarch ordained a certain chiefry to tribute to be yearly paid to the
provincial Kings from whose provinces the said portions were taken.

It was this Monarch who imposed the great and insupportable fine [or "Eric"]
of 6,000 cows, or beeves, as many fat mutton and hogs, 6,000 mantles, 6,000
ounces [or "Uinge"] of silver, and 12,000 cauldrons or pots of brass, to be
paid every second year by the province of Leinster to the Monarchs of Ireland
forever, for the death of his only two daughters Fithir and Darina. This
tribute was punctually taken and exacted, sometimes by fire and sword during
the reigns of forty monarchs of Ireland upwards of 600 years, until at last
remitted by Finachta Fleadhach, the 153rd Milesian Monarch of Ireland and its
26th Christian Monarch at the request and earnest solicitation of Saint Moling.
At the end of 30 years' reign, the Monarch Tuathal was slain by his successor
Mal in 106 AD. Through the divisions Tuathal made, Ireland became a Pentarchy:
A supreme Monarch being elected to preside over all the Provincial Kings and
Designated "Ard-righ" or High King. This Monarch erected a royal palace at
Tailtean. Around the grave of Queen Tailte, he caused the fairs to be resumed
on La Lughnasa [Lewy's Day], to which were brought all the youth of both sexes
of a suitable age to be married, at which Fair, the marriage articles were
agreed upon and the ceremony performed.

He married Bain before 97 AD.

Fedhlimidh was so
called as being a maker of excellent wholesome laws, among which he
established with all firmness that of "Retaliation", kept to it inviolably,
and by that means preserved the people in peace, quiet, plenty, and security
during his time. He was the 108th Monarch of Ireland, and his reign which
began in the year 110, lasted nine years. It is singular to remark how the
call to a life of virginity was felt and corresponded with first in this
family in Ireland after it was Christianized. As Saint Ite was descended from
Fiacha, a son of this wise Monarch, so the illustrious Saint Bridget was
descended from Eocha, another son of Fedhlimidh, and brother of Conn of the
Hundred Battles. St. Brigid was born at Fochard [now Faughart], near Dundalk
about 453, Saint Brigid established the famous Monastery of Kidare which means
Church of the Oak. Saint Ite of Ide is often called Brigid of Munster. She
was born about 480, and was the first who founded a convent in Munster, in a
place called Clooncrail, the name of which afterward was changed to
"Kill-Ide", now called Killedy, a Parish in County Limerick. Fedhlimidh dies
of thirst.

Fiedhlinhihd was born before 97 AD in Ireland.

They went to Egypt and then sailed to Ireland. The ancient records of Ireland bear ample testament to this as an historic fact, not only the event itself but also supplying evidence by giving the actual date of their arrival, as shown below. With the authenticity of these Irish records it is interesting to note that Sir James McIntosh, writing on ancient Irish history, says: ---The Irish nation possesses genuine history several centuries more ancient than any other European nation possesses in its present spoken language." These Irish records tell of a ship of the "Iberian Danaan" (Hebrew Dan-ites of the shipping tribe of Dan) becoming wrecked a tCarrickfergus off the north east coast of Ireland. They also state that in this ship there was not only a Royal Princess but also a man referred to as "Ollamh Fodlila" meaning Holy Seer or Prophet accompanied by his servant "Bruch"; and that this shipwrecked party had in their possession an historic stone called "LIA FAIL" meaning Stone wonderful which they very highly treasured. The records conclude with an account of the marriage between the Royal Princess and "Eochaidh" the Heremon or King of Ireland, giving the Princess's name as "Tamar Tephi" meaning Palm Beautiful, an appropriate name for the one destined to fulfill Ezekiel's prophecy of the Tender Twig.

The royal records state that Ollamh Fodhla preceded King Cimboath of Ulster by 230 years. The latter is generally accepted as having died in the year B.C. 353; thus 230 years earlier gives a date of B.C. 583/2. B.C. 583-582 is the exact Scriptural date of Jeremiah's flight into Egypt after the downfall of Jerusalem.

http://www.medievalgenealogy.org.uk/families/arg/argoutl1.shtml

On John de Argentein and his wife Joan's family:

Some interesting light is shed on the family's domestic arrangements by a surviving set of accounts for 1317-8 from the manor of Melbourn (Palmer), where they seem to have been living at the time. We know from later evidence that Joan's elder daughters, Joan and Elizabeth were married to two brothers, John and William, the sons of Ralph Boteler (or Butler). (The younger daughter, Denise, died without issue.) Evidently they were married extremely young. In fact, the marriages must have been arranged immediately after their status as heiresses was apparent, because in the Melbourn accounts occurs an 'Aid for marrying the lord's eldest daughter'. The young bridegrooms also seem to have been living at Melbourn: the accounts also contain expenses for 'little socks', 'shoes' and 'slippers' for John Boteller, and 'linen cloth for the use of John Boteller and his brother'.

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

Other than the reference to Ralph, the father of William, in the above text this marriage seems to fit all of the criteria. The Elizabeth who married William of Wem d. 1369 is not the Elizabeth de Holand who was daughter of Robert de Holand and Maud la Zouche because that Elizabeth married Sir Henry FitzRoger in 1340 (AR line 261-35) with no evidence of divorce or early death. The other William (of Warrington d 1380) that Elizabeth de Argentein might have married, is said (AR line 170-30) to have married Elizabeth de Havering.

According to his father's Inquisition Post Mortem, John de Argentein was aged 30 when he succeeded his father in 1308 (Calendar of Inquisitions Post Mortem). Presumably this is a round figure, so that John would have been born in the late 1260s or in the 1270s - probably after his father's release from captivity after the Battle of Evesham, at any rate.

We first hear of John when, at his marriage to Joan, the daughter of Roger Brian in 1302, settlements were made by their parents. Reginald settled the manor of Fordham (in Essex) on the couple, and Roger settled his manors of Hatley (in Bedfordshire) and Throcking (in Hertfordshire) after his death. (Roger seems to have died by 1307, when John had a grant of free warren in Hatley and Throcking (Charter Roll)). By his first wife, John had three daughters:

Joan, born c.1310


Elizabeth, born c.1312


Denise, born c.1315


(Calendar of Inquisitions Post Mortem). We know that Joan must have died soon after the birth of Denise, leaving her daughters to inherit the Brian estates.

Four Argentein gravestones, apparently in Baldock church, are recorded in Sloane MS 1301 (fo.146b). In addition to those of Reginald and Lora are two more, bearing the names 'Iohn de Argentine' and 'Iohan de Argentine'. It seems likely that these are the gravestones of Reginald's son John and his first wife, Joan. If so, the arms illustrated ('Gules a saltire [?]or, a chief ermine') must be those of the Brian family, although I have not seen them recorded elsewhere under this name.

Some interesting light is shed on the family's domestic arrangements by a surviving set of accounts for 1317-8 from the manor of Melbourn (Palmer), where they seem to have been living at the time. We know from later evidence that Joan's elder daughters, Joan and Elizabeth were married to two brothers, John and William, the sons of Ralph Boteler (or Butler). (The younger daughter, Denise, died without issue.) Evidently they were married extremely young. In fact, the marriages must have been arranged immediately after their status as heiresses was apparent, because in the Melbourn accounts occurs an 'Aid for marrying the lord's eldest daughter'. The young bridegrooms also seem to have been living at Melbourn: the accounts also contain expenses for 'little socks', 'shoes' and 'slippers' for John Boteller, and 'linen cloth for the use of John Boteller and his brother'.

By April 1317, John had remarried, to Agnes, the daughter of William de Bereford (Hertfordshire Record Office, no 59315). The following Spring, Agnes gave birth to a son, John, who was to succeed his father at the age of 6 months. The Melbourn accounts include an entry 'for four score and four geese and goslings (hocorys) bought for the churching feast of the Lady Agnes' after John's birth (Palmer).

In contrast to his 13th-century ancestors, John de Argentein's official roles were purely local (although he might perhaps have achieved greater prominence if he had lived longer). He had a commission of oyer and terminer in 1312, after a band of robbers had assaulted and robbed a representative of the king at Baldock (Patent Roll), and others in 1316 and March 1318 concerning disturbances in Cambridgeshire (Patent Roll). In 1314 he had been appointed one of the conservators of the peace for Hertfordshire (Patent Roll), and in November 1317 he was appointed to a commission in Hertfordshire to enquire into those raising bodies of men-at-arms (Patent Roll).

In the military sphere, John's arms ('de goules a iii.coupes de argent') appear in the roll prepared for the first Dunstable tournament in 1308 (Parliamentary Writs). The Melbourn accounts of 1317-8 also show him undertaking a journey to the north ('a horse bought for Jackbet when he went north with my lord' (p.44); 'for saddle gerthys for the lord when he went north' (p.54)), which Palmer suggests would have been for military service against the Scots. It is not clear whether he ever returned from this journey.

John died, apparently only in his 40s, shortly before 20 October 1318 (Calendar of Inquisitions Post Mortem), leaving his second wife Agnes and her baby son. As mentioned above, he was possibly buried in Baldock church, although another account says that his gravestone was formerly in Little Wymondley church, having possibly been removed there from Wymondley Priory (Wright, p.143). (Some support is lent to this by the provision in his widow Agnes's will to be buried in the Priory if she dies in Hertfordshire or Cambridgeshire, though nothing is said about John Argentein's place of burial.)
ABT 1283/1290 - >1315 Joane de Bryan ~1242 - BEF 3 Mar 1307/1308 Reginald de Argentein Sir Knight

The following information taken from Medieval English Genealogy website at:
http://www.medievalgenealogy.org.uk/families/arg/argoutl1.shtml

Giles's son and heir Reginald was said to be aged 40 at his father's death (Calendar of Inquisitions Post Mortem). This is presumably a round figure, and probably means that he was born in the decade before 1242 (or thereabouts).

Reginald distinguished himself by marrying the daughter of an earl - Lora, daughter of Hugh de Vere, the 4th Earl of Oxford. She brought to the marriage the manor of Ketteringham, in Norfolk, which, as was then usual, the Argenteins were to hold as tenants of the de Veres. Ketteringham is known to have come into Reginald's hands between 1262 and 1265, so it is likely that the marriage took place in the period of Simon de Montfort's ascendancy, in 1264 or1265, when Reginald's father Giles was among the baronial leaders. Lora's brother Robert, the then earl, was also a keen supporter of de Montfort (Complete Peerage, vol.10, p.216).

Like his father, Reginald suffered the consequences of Simon de Montfort's defeat at Evesham in 1265, after which his estates were confiscated (Calendar of Inquisitions Miscellaneous) and he was imprisoned. In February 1266, his wife Lora was granted the manor of Ketteringham for the maintenance of herself and her children during his captivity (Patent Roll).

There is little evidence of Reginald's activities in the next few years. He and Lora acquired land at Little Melton (close to Ketteringham), in Norfolk, in 1272 (Feet of Fines). He occurs in connection with Fordham manor around 1274 (Hundred Rolls). At about the same time he is noted among the coheirs of his grandfather Robert de Aguillon (his mother presumably being dead by this time), in entries in the Hundred Rolls concerning various manors in Norfolk.

His father Giles settled certain of the family estates on him in his lifetime: in Melbourn (before 1280) (VCH Cambridgeshire) and in Berton, Suffolk (in 1280-1) (Calendar of Inquisition Post Mortem). But Reginald had not much longer to wait before he succeeded to the main family estates, on Giles's death in 1282. At about the same time, he seems to have disposed of the lands he had inherited from his mother in Norfolk, conveying them to Andrew de Sackville by a fine (Rye). (As discussed elsewhere, this Andrew Sackville has frequently been identified as a son of Reginald's mother Margery, presumably because he succeeded in her estates.)

Earlier, in May 1282, Reginald had been summoned to a muster at Worcester, for military service against the Welsh (Parliamentary Writs). He was similarly summoned to a muster at Montgomery, in May the following year (Parliamentary Writs). Later in the year, Reginald was summoned to the Parliament at Shrewsbury, in September (Parliamentary Writs). (Although his father Giles seems, sporadically, to have occupied a much more influential position among Simon de Montfort's barons, it is this, and a similar summons in 1297 (Parliamentary Writs) which have entitled the family to an account - usually rather brief - in the Peerages. None of the family was ever summoned to Parliament again.)

Reginald's official career continued for the next few years in a fairly low key. He was again summoned, for service against the Welsh, to a military council at Gloucester, in July 1287 (Parliamentary Writs). In August 1295 he was appointed a constable near Dunwich, in Suffolk, for the defence of the coast (Close Roll). The following year he was enrolled, as a knight holding lands in Essex, for the defence of the coast, but was found not to be resident in the county (Parliamentary Writs).

In March 1297, he was appointed a commissioner for the counties of Cambridge and Huntingdon, to enquire into those fostering discord between the king and his subjects (Patent Roll). In the same year, he was summoned to a Parliament at Salisbury in February, to a military council at Rochester in September, and to a muster at Newcastle-upon-Tyne in December, for military service against the Scots. The following year he was summoned again for service against the Scots, to a muster on the king's return to England in January, and to another at York in May. He received his final summons for military service in June 1301 (when he must have been approaching 70), to a muster at Berwick-upon-Tweed (Parliamentary Writs).

Reginald died shortly before 3 March 1308 (Complete Peerage, vol.1), and was buried at Baldock, where he had founded a chapel, and where his gravestone, with a rhyming French inscription, still remains.

Reginald left, in addition to his son and heir John:

a son Richard, on whom he is said to have settled the manor of Acton in Suffolk in 26 Edward I (c.1297) (Argentein evidences).


apparently also a son Giles, who, with the prior of Wymondley, had safe keeping of the charters settling property on the first marriage of Reginald's son John. However, the relationship is stated only in pedigrees.

1210 - <1282 Giles de Argentein 72 72 Sir Knight

The following information taken from Medieval English Genealogy website at:
http://www.medievalgenealogy.org.uk/families/arg/argoutl1.shtml

Giles de Argentein, Richard's son and successor, is first mentioned in September 1230, as being overseas on the king's service, presumably in France, where Henry had launched a military expedition to regain Normandy (Close Roll). The following year, Giles was fighting against Prince Llewellyn in Wales, where he and another unnamed son of Richard were captured by the Welsh (Dunstable Annals). In June 1242, he was again summoned for military service against the French, in Henry III's unsuccessful expedition to regain Poitou (Close Roll). As noted above, part of his father's estates seem to have been settled on him in the 1230s and 1240s, the latter presumably during Richard's absence on Crusade.

He was married, by the late 1230s, to Margery, the daughter, and one of four coheirs, of Robert Aguillon. There is little doubt that she was the mother of Giles's son and heir Reginald, but her inheritance seems not to have been retained by the family. Perhaps for this reason, contradictory statements have been made about her marriage and heir (see discussion).

Giles de Argentein came to political prominence late in life, as a result of the baronial reform movement led by Simon de Montfort. When Giles's fortunes over the next few years are examined, the close parallel with those of de Montfort, as related by Maddicott (chapters 5-7), is striking.

We first hear of Giles holding high office when, in May 1258, Henry III agreed to the establishment of a council of 24 to reform the realm. Giles was one of the 12 members of the committee nominated by the barons, and was also a member of another committee of 24 appointed to negotiate an aid for the king (Burton Annals).

Soon afterwards, Giles de Argentein was appointed - as his father Richard had been - a royal steward. In this capacity his name appears in many documents between September 1258 and February 1260 (Close Rolls). The end of this period coincides with an open break with the reform movement, made by the king when he forbade the holding of a Parliament at Candlemas. Later in 1260, de Montfort enjoyed a temporary restoration to influence, and again we find Giles holding office. In November, he was appointed a member of two commissions to look into local difficulties at Dunwich and Cambridge (Patent Roll), and in December he was appointed a justice itinerant - as his grandfather Reginald had been - for the Midland counties (Close Roll).

In the following year, Henry III again asserted his authority against the barons, and we hear no more of Giles's official career until the Summer of 1263, when de Montfort gained control of south-eastern England. In August, Giles was made constable of Windsor (Patent Roll), from which foreign mercenaries under the king's son, Prince Edward, had just been expelled. The barons' success was short-lived: on 16 October, Prince Edward seized Windsor Castle, and de Montfort's administration crumbled. (The following month, the Patent Roll euphemistically refers to Giles de Argentein's 'withdrawal' from the constableship.)

Open war broke out the following Spring between the royalists and the barons. Giles de Argentein was among those to whom Henry III on 11 May addressed a final appeal to return to fealty (Close Roll). The appeal failed, and on 14 May at Lewes, Simon de Montfort comprehensively defeated the royalists, and effectively captured the king and his son, Prince Edward. We do not know if Giles was personally present at the battle, but he immediately benefited from the outcome. In June he was made Guardian of the Peace for Cambridgeshire (Rymer, vol.1, p.793) and, more importantly, he was appointed one of the Council of Nine by which the country was to be governed (Burton).

In the following months he remained with the captive king, as copious documentary evidence shows. We can trace the progress of de Montfort's party into the Welsh Marches, as their fortunes worsened, and to Hereford, where Prince Edward escaped from their custody on 28 May (Close Rolls). Finally Simon de Montfort and his supporters were trapped by the royalists at Evesham, and annihilated there on 4 August 1265. Giles de Argentein is known to have fought at Evesham (Inquisitions Miscellaneous), and one contemporary source even includes him in the list of the leading Montfortians who were killed there (London Annals). Although he was not killed, the king's victory was - temporarily - disastrous for him and his family.

As a defeated rebel, Giles de Argentein immediately suffered the seizure of all his lands. In the Calendar of Inquisitions Miscellaneous are details of eleven of the estates which were confiscated - at Weston, Wymondley, Lilley and Willian in Hertfordshire, Flitcham and Wilton in Norfolk, Halesworth, Newmarket and Burton in Suffolk, Bumpstead in Essex and Pidley in Huntingdonshire. In addition, the manor of Melbourn had been seized by the royalist Warin de Bassingburn (VCH Cambridgeshire).

Few of the confiscated estates were lost permanently, except in cases where Giles had abused his influence during the period when the barons controlled the country. When Robert de Stuteville had been captured and imprisoned by Henry de Montfort, he had been forced to sell Giles the manor of Withersfield in Suffolk. This manor was now restored to its former owner (Patent Roll). Giles also seems to have taken the opportunity to seize the manors of Lilley and Willian in Hertfordshire, of which his father had been deprived in 1232, and which the family had tried unsuccessfully to recover through the courts (Carpenter).

Giles received the king's pardon in February 1266 (Patent Roll), and subsequently recovered his principal estates at Wymondley, Halesworth, Melbourn and Newmarket (Calendar of Inquisitions Post Mortem). Unsurprisingly - for he would now have been an elderly man - we hear little more of Giles, although he survived for another 16 years, dying shortly before 24 November 1282, when the sheriff of Hertford was notified of his death (Fine Roll).


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

The children of Giles de Argentein

In addition to his son and heir Reginald, Giles had three younger sons:

Richard, living 1275

William, living 1275

Giles, who may be identical with the famous knight who was killed at Bannockburn in 1314

(none of whom left any issue) and a daughter:

Cassandra, who married Ralph Pyrot.

I assume that all these were the children of Ralph by Margery, as Margery seems to have been still living in 1267 (see discussion), while the three younger sons attested their father's charter in the mid-1270s; the earliest references linking the Argenteins and Ralph Pyrot are in the mid-1260s.
1224 - 1308 Margery de Aguillon 84 84 ~1175 - 1246 Richard de Argentein 71 71 Sir Knight

The following information taken from Medieval English Genealogy website at:
http://www.medievalgenealogy.org.uk/families/arg/argoutl1.shtml

Reginald's successor was his son and heir Richard. His public career was distinguished and extremely long; so long, in fact, that we might suspect there were two Richards in succession. But on closer examination this is clearly not the case.

Richard began by marrying a Bedfordshire heiress, Emma, apparently the daughter of Robert de Broy of Bletsoe. We know that they were married by 1200, when the couple were involved in a dispute over a mill at Sharnbrook which Robert had given Emma as a marriage gift. By 1203, Emma seems to have died, leaving Richard with an infant daughter Margaret, who became the object of a dispute between her father and grandfather. Robert kept possession of Margaret, arguing that she was his only heir, that she had been born in his chamber, and that he had raised her. The following year, Robert failed to produce the child as he had been ordered to, claiming that she was too weak. However, the dispute was eventually settled by agreement, Robert promising to restore the child to her father, and Richard agreeing not to marry her without consulting Robert (Curia Regis Rolls). When she did marry, Margaret carried her grandfather's estate at Bletsoe into the Patteshull family, by her marriage to Walter de Patteshull.

Richard's second wife, Cassandra, the daughter of Robert de Insula (or de Lisle), does not appear to have been an heiress. However, at their marriage her father made a generous settlement, consisting of the land in Newmarket and Exning, to be held from the de Insula family. The marriage seems to have taken place in 1203 or 1204 - in the former year land at Exning appears under the name of Robert de Insula, and in the latter, under that of Richard 'de Argentoem'. Cassandra was clearly the mother of Richard's heir Giles, who at his death in 1282, held Ixninge and Newmarket in free socage of Robert de Insula.

Richard apparently married a third time, before 1228, to Joan, the widow of Roger de Lenham, and Richard was made guardian of Roger's son and heir, John. The couple were involved in several legal disputes concerning Joan's dower estates in Norfolk, Suffolk and Buckinghamshire between 1228 and 1231. By 1241, Richard's son Giles was jointly guardian of Nicholas de Lenham, Roger's heir (John having presumably died). Some of Joan's dower property was in Redenhall, in Norfolk, and curiously, Giles in 1280 held land in Redenhall and Thirning. It looks as if either Richard or Giles may have profited by their guardianship of the Lenham estates, to gain possession of part of the property (Curia Regis Rolls).

Richard was notable among the Argenteins as a founder of a priory and a hospital, and the builder of a chapel at Melbourn, and as a Crusader who seems to have twice fought against the Muslims.

Between 1216 and 1218, he founded the priory of Little Wymondley, and endowed it with property in the Wymondleys and elsewhere, including the church of Little Wymondley.


He also founded the Hospital of St John and St James, on the south side of Baldock Street in Royston.


In 1227, he was given permission to build a chapel in his manor at Melbourn and to keep a chaplain there; the chapel was finished by 1229 (Palmer, pp.27,72, citing MS M, Bishop's muniment room at Ely).


Richard joined the Crusade of 1218, which in November 1219 succeeded in capturing the port of Damietta, in Egypt. A letter written by Richard to his kinsman, the abbot of Bury St Edmunds the following year gives us a striking glimpse of medieval religious attitudes. It seems that after its capture, the Crusaders were quick to convert the town's mosques into churches. Richard founded a handsomely adorned church, dedicated to St Edmund, whom he calls his patron saint ('advocatus meus'), and established there three chaplains, with clerks. He had a painted statue of the saint erected there, which attracted the hostile attention of a Flemish servant who visited the church. But as he left the church after hurling abuse at the martyred saint, a beam of wood miraculously fell on his head and hurt him badly, as Richard triumphantly relates to the abbot.

By 1224 Richard was back in England, being made in January sheriff of Cambridgeshire and Huntingdonshire, and also of Hertfordshire and Essex (Calendar of Patent Rolls). At the same time he was made constable of Hertford Castle, an office he held until August 1228 (Calendar of Patent Rolls). He was in military action again at the siege of Bedford Castle in the Summer of 1224, in support of Henry III against the rebellious Falkes de Breaute (Ralph of Coggeshall). The siege lasted for eight weeks, and those outside the castle suffered heavy casualties. Richard himself was severely wounded 'in the stomach below the navel', despite being in armour.

After this, Richard seems (deservedly!) to have continued in royal favour. In February 1225 he was among the witnesses of Henry III's Great Charter (Burton Annals). He witnessed another royal charter at Windsor in June 1226. Then, between January and November 1227, he witnessed a string of charters as one of the two royal stewards.

In April 1230 there is a note that the king has taken Richard's lands under his protection because he has gone overseas in the king's service, accompanied by Giles de Wachesham, whose family were tenants of the Argenteins in Huntingdonshire. In September of the same year, (Richard's son) Giles de Argentein was also overseas in the king's service (Close Roll). The Argenteins' journeys were presumably connected with the military expedition which Henry undertook that Summer, in an attempt to regain Normandy from France.

In 1331, two of Richard's sons (one of them his heir, Giles) were captured by the Welsh in an expedition against Prince Llewellyn, but Richard himself is not mentioned in the accounts of the action.

There is little indication of any further official duties in the next few years. Indeed, Richard suffered in the factional struggles in Henry's court in the early 1230s. It seems that he was one of a number of courtiers who lost favour after the fall of Hubert de Burgh, Earl of Kent, who was supplanted in July 1232 by his rival, Peter des Roches, Bishop of Winchester (Carpenter, Maddicott). In December 1232, Peter des Rivaux, the bishop's nephew, was ordered to hand over the Hertfordshire manors of Lilley and Willian to Pain de Chaworth - the king had previously given these manors, near Great Wymondley, to Richard de Argentein after they had been forfeited by Pain (Close Roll).

Although he never recovered Lilley and Willian, it was not long before Richard had his revenge. Peter des Roches in his turn fell from favour in May 1234. In the following month king demanded the return of a number of castles held by his nephew, Peter des Rivaux, and Richard de Argentein was chosen as the messenger to convey the king's letters to him. Peter refused to reply, and judgment was passed against him by 25 magnates, including Richard de Argentein. The constable of Pevensey Castle, one of those held by Peter, was ordered to deliver it to the Earl of Hereford and to Richard de Argentein, and on the 5 July they were thanked and permitted to return home (Curia Regis Roll).

Later in July Richard was present when Peter des Rivaux was summoned to Westminster to explain his conduct. Over the next few months, Richard, restored to royal favour, seems to have travelled with the king, attesting a number of royal charters. His final appearance is at a Council which took place in October (Curia Regis Roll).

Little more is heard of Richard in the next ten years. The dispute with Pain de Chaworth over Lilley and Willian continues to be mentioned between 1234 and 1236 (Giles being made Richard's attorney in April 1235) (Curia Regis Rolls), and in May 1235 certain Jews to whom Richard owed money were ordered to appear at Westminster and give evidence about the debts (Close Roll). Beyond this, we have only the formal records of Richard's land holdings in the feudal returns of 1235-6 and 1242-3 (Book of Fees).

Some of Richard's estates seem to have been settled on his son Giles at about this time. Giles appears to have held the estate at Melbourn in both returns (VCH Cambridgeshire). He also appears, as the king's attorney, in a renewed attempt to recover the manors of Lilley and Willian in 1241 (Curia Regis Rolls). In the same year, Giles is mentioned, together with the master of the Hospital of St Thomas of Acon of London, as having custody of (his step-brother) Nicholas, son and heir of Roger de Lenham.

It seems that Richard had again gone on Crusade, probably with one of the English parties which departed in the Summer of 1240. According to the Dunstable Chronicle, when the Turks entered Jerusalem (in July 1244), only Richard de Argentein with 20 knights in the Tower of David (the citadel) held out. Eventually (in late August) the defenders were allowed to leave the city under a flag of truce.

Richard must have returned to England after the fall of Jerusalem, as in 1246 Matthew Paris records his death among those of 'certain nobles in England', describing him as a 'an energetic knight who in the Holy Land had fought faithfully for God for a long time'.

The mother and brothers of Reginald de Argentein:

John was succeeded, in the late 12th century, by Reginald de Argentein. We know that John was the son, and Reginald the grandson, of the first Reginald de Argentein, so it is quite likely that the younger Reginald was John's son (although he could equally well have been his nephew).

A possible clue to the identity of Reginald's mother is provided by his inheritance of lands formerly held by a certain Guy. Unfortunately, the evidence is somewhat contradictory and confusing (see discussion). It seems clear that the property had been held by Reginald's father (possibly in right of his wife), having come from Guy, who in turn had inherited it from his mother 'Tieca' (although one document has instead 'Thecius', which seems to be a man's name!). On the evidence it is impossible to be sure of the relationship - it seems likely that Tieca was Reginald's grandmother, although it is unclear whether on the paternal or maternal side.

Reginald had at least two brothers:

Apparently he had a brother with the same name as himself (which seems strange in modern eyes, but was not unknown in medieval times). This brother was known as Reginald of Halesworth (in the record of his grant to Reginald's son Oliver, he is described as Oliver's 'patruus', or paternal uncle).


He seems also to have had a brother Roger, who caused a great deal of trouble by his marriage to Matilda, a Buckinghamshire heiress, who was apparently somehow related to the Argenteins. (Roger seems to fit in here, because he is named as the brother of a Reginald de Argentein, who is called 'a certain knight'. However, it is possible that this refers to a different Reginald - if so, chronology suggests these two may belong to the following generation.)


Reginald de Argentein:

Reginald's father and grandfather were essentially local landowners with only a handful of manors in the eastern counties, and they seem to have played no role beyond their locality. But with Reginald the family began to achieve a wider prominence, which was to be reinforced by his son and grandson.

Reginald was active in local affairs, and acted as sheriff in the eastern counties through most of the 1190s. He served in Cambridgeshire and Huntingdonshire in 1193, 1194 and 1195, and in Essex and Hertfordshire in 1197 (for half a year) (Pipe Rolls).

More significantly, he was appointed a justice, and sat both at Westminster and in the provinces. Numerous records survive of fines made before him: the earliest I have found was at Norwich in September, 1191. The records continue until 1202 (apparently the year before his death), when sufficient information survives to trace his movements in detail. On 16 June he was sitting at Westminster, and later in the same month at Cambridge. In July he was at Norwich, King's Lynn and Ipswich, where he remained until early August. In September he was at Hertford and Chemsford, and in October and November he was again at Westminster (Pipe Roll Society).

Reginald continued to hold the property he had inherited, though not without difficulties. The manor of Great Wymondley, although it had been held by the family since his grandfather's time, was claimed by one Alan de Vitrie, who had apparently succeeded in dispossessing him. Unfortunately we do not know the basis of Alan's claim, but by 1190 the court at Westminster decided in Reginald's favour (perhaps unsurprisingly, given his official connections), and in 1195 Richard I issued a charter, confirming the manor to him and his heirs.

Another legal dispute concerned the advowson of Great Wymondley church, which, according to Reginald, had been granted to his grandfather together with the manor. However, the advowson was also claimed by the Abbess of Elstow, according to whom it had been given to the abbey, as an appurtenance of Hitchin church, by its foundress, the Countess Judith, in the time of William I. The dispute dragged on for about 10 years, and was finally settled after Reginald's death, when his son Richard gave up the claim to the advowson. In return, the nuns were to remember him in their prayers.

Reginald also had problems concerning his inheritance from the estate of Guy the son of Tieca. In 1190 the Pipe Roll tells us that Reginald was to pay £100 for justice concerning these lands and those claimed by Alan de Vitrie (i.e. Great Wymondley). In the following year, however, Nicholas, the son of Robert, the son of Harding, appears owing 200 marks, to have peaceful possession of the lands of Guy the son of Tieca, which Reginald claimed. The entries concerning Nicholas - which seem somewhat confused - appear in the Pipe Rolls under Cambridgeshire and Huntingdonshire and Gloucestershire, and continue until 1196 and 1195 respectively. In 1195, Richard I issued a charter for Reginald (dated the day after the one referred to above), in which his original payment of £100 was replaced by a fine of 200 marks, in return for which he was confirmed as the holder of Great Wymondley, and promised justice concerning the lands of Guy.

The difficulty concerning these lands seems to have arisen because Guy had somehow been involved in the castration of a certain Alan of Wales, which is mentioned both in a charter of Henry II for Guy, and in Richard's second charter for Reginald. It seems that the lands may have initially been confiscated as a result (and perhaps granted to Nicholas' family), but that the offence was finally forgiven. Be that as it may, the trouble was not over yet. In 1202 Reginald again had to go to court, to secure another part of his inheritance from Guy. This time he sought the advowson of the church of 'Chederton', in Bedfordshire, against the prior of St Neots. The result of the action is not known.

In addition to the property which he inherited, he had various interests in a number of counties.

He held the manor of Cholderton, Wiltshire, of the Bernard family; and the Bassingbourn family held it as his sub-tenants (VCH Wiltshire).


He was a plaintiff in a plea of novel disseisin in Letchworth (just north of Wymondley) in Hertfordshire in 1198 (Curia Regis Rolls)


He was granted a tenth of a knight's fee in Pelham [?Middlesex] by William son of Robert (before 1212) (Curia Regis Rolls).


Ralph de Tyvill demanded against him a tenement in Ramsey in Huntingdonshire in 1199 (Farrer, vol.3, p.180, citing R. Cur Regis i 396 or 401).


He held a carucate of land at Wissett (near Halesworth) in Suffolk, c.1199 (Placit. Abbrev.).
Reginald must have died either at the end of 1202 or in early 1203. At his death he left a widow Isabel, who renounced her dower rights in favour of Reginald's son Richard, in return for a house to live in at Wymondley. We do not know whether Isabel was the mother of Reginald's children - indeed, there seems to be no evidence at all about the identity of their mother.

As well as Richard, his son and heir, Reginald had at least three more sons:

Oliver, who fought for the baronial party in the reign of King John.

In the reign of King Stephen (1135-1154), a charter was granted to John, son of Reginald de Argentein, confirming to him and his heirs the land and 'ministerium' (the service of cup-bearing) which had been held by his father. Presumably on the basis of this charter, VCH Hertfordshire (vol.3, p.182) calls John an 'adherent' of Stephen, and suggests that a castle of the 'motte and bailey' type, whose remains lie to the east of the churchyard in Great Wymondley, may have been erected by John as a manorial stronghold during the anarchy of Stephen's reign.

Evidently the mills of Ickleford, which his father Reginald had held for life, were still the subject of contention between the Argenteins and Ramsey Abbey. But the dispute was settled in favour of the abbey by Stephen's successor Henry II, who issued a charter, dated to 1155-1162, commanding that the mills, which had been claimed by John, should be held by the abbey, as stipulated by Henry I's charter. At about the same time, John accounted in Hertfordshire for a crown debt (Pipe Roll, 1158-59).

In the feudal returns of 1166, John appears as the holder of one knight's fee of the barony of Robert Foliot, and two knights' fees of the fee of Skipton. The first of these represents the manor of Melbourn, in Cambridgeshire (VCH Cambridgeshire); the second, according to Farrer (vol.1, p.238), refers to Harlow in Essex, although there does not seem to be any later record of the family holding land there.

John's name occurs also as a witness to two charters for religious houses in the area: one for St Edmund's Abbey (Douglas) and the other for Dunstable Priory (Fowler). The latter charter is dated tentatively to between 1170 and 1177; if so, it must belong to the closing years of John's life.
1126 Ellen FitzTecon 1098 - 1130 Reginald de Argentein 32 32 The following information taken from Medieval English Genealogy website at:
http://www.medievalgenealogy.org.uk/families/arg/argoutl1.shtml

Moving forward to the turn of the 11th century, we find a Reginald de Argentein, who held land in the north of Hertfordshire, near the Bedfordshire and Cambridgeshire borders (and whose descendants later had possessions in all these counties). This Reginald seems certain to have been related in some way to the David de Argentein of Domesday Book, but there is no evidence for the exact relationship. Keats-Rohan suggests that they were probably father and son, which is plausible chronologically.

Whatever his relationship to David, Reginald's connections with the later Argenteins are clear. In later records he is named as the father of his successor John, and as the grandfather ('avus') of John's successor Reginald. (It is therefore probable, though not certain, that John was the father of the younger Reginald.)

From later evidence we know that Reginald was granted the manor of Great Wymondley, in Hertfordshire, by King William [I or II] after the estate had escheated to the Crown. The land was held 'by serjeanty', namely, by acting as cupbearer at the king's coronation (Round, pp.265-6). The Argenteins and their descendants continued to perform this service for more than 600 years, and as a result they bore arms showing three silver covered cups on a red field.

Together with the manor of Great Wymondley, Reginald was granted the advowson of the church there, and was said to have presented two priests to the church, the second a man named Osbert. (In the time of Reginald's grandson, the advowson was the subject of a legal dispute with the Abbess of Elstow, and it is from the evidence given then that we know the details of the grant.)

We are fortunate enough to have the text of a notification of Henry I, dating from the early years of his reign (perhaps from 1102), confirming an agreement between Reginald and the Abbot of Ramsey. This provided for Reginald to hold the mills at Ickleford (about 5 miles north-west of Great Wymondley), in return for a payment of 10 shillings a year, after which the mills were to revert to the abbey. The agreement also provided for Reginald to be buried at Ramsey Abbey if he died in England. This provision may suggest that the family still held land in Normandy at this time.

Reginald was dead by 1130, when an entry on the Pipe Roll shows his widow Matilda accounting for £8:10s:8d, for her dower and marriage in Suffolk. Farrer (vol.1, p.238) suggests on this evidence that Matilda had brought as her marriage-portion the manor of Halesworth in Suffolk. If this is true, Matilda must have been the grandmother of the younger Reginald, as Halesworth remained in the family for centuries afterwards and became one of the family's favourite seats.
1103 Lora de Montfort ~1080 Roger de Argentein ~1080 Dionysia Malet 1060 David de Argentein The following information taken from Medieval English Genealogy website at:
http://www.medievalgenealogy.org.uk/families/arg/argoutl1.shtml

The family originated from Argentan in the département of Orne, in Normandy, according to Keats-Rohan. (It had previously been suggested, in the Complete Peerage (vol.1), that they came instead from Argenton in Poitou.)

The surname occurs in documents in a bewildering variety of spellings. In the Domesday Book, it appears in the Latin forms 'de Argentomago' (Farrer) and 'de Argentomo' (VCH Bedfordshire), and in early documents the spelling is frequently 'Argentom' or 'Argentem'. Eventually - in fact, probably after the family itself had become extinct - it evolved into 'Argentine', which Hunter describes as a form 'more euphonious and more pleasing in every respect'. In these pages, except when quoting specific documents, the compromise form 'Argentein' will be adopted.

on David Argentein:

In Tudor times, no pedigree was complete without a Norman ancestor who had fought at Hastings, and frequently one would be provided even if the family had risen only recently from the yeoman class. When an elaborate pedigree was drawn up, in the reign of Elizabeth, for the Alington family of Horseheath, a descent was concocted, extending over three centuries, to connect the family with a fictitious Sir Hildebrand de Alington, later described as 'under Marshall to William the Conqueror' (Banks), and his son Alan, who was 'thought to be the chief doer for the building of Westminster Hall' under William Rufus (Burke).

More plausibly, another descent was given for the Argenteins, whose heirs the Alingtons were, to one 'Dauid de Argentonio', who was later called 'a Norman, and a martiall knight, who under King William the Conquerour, served in the warres' (Weever, apparently quoting Camden). The same David is shown, together with the arms later borne by the Argentein family, in a forged document known as the 'Tabula Eliensis', which purports to be a list of knights quartered on the monks of Ely by William the Conqueror (Topographer).

Although the surname appears in several versions of the late compilation known as the 'Battle Abbey Roll', it is impossible to know whether David de Argentein was among the Norman knights at Hastings in 1066: there is good evidence for only a handful of their names, and most of those come from the nobility (Camp). But he certainly existed, for he appears 20 years later in the Domesday Book, as a tenant in chief in Cambridgeshire and Bedfordshire. His holdings were small: in Cambridgeshire, one manor, in Croxton (of which he had been temporarily deprived by Eustace de Lovetot, sheriff of Huntingdon), 1 virgate, 20 acres in Caldecote and 1 hide in Westwick, and in Bedfordshire, 1 hide in Riseley. There does not appear to be any later record of the Argentein family holding land in any of these places, although they were active elsewhere in both these counties.

At this time the name David - like many other Biblical names - was evidently very uncommon both in Normandy and England. Only one other land-holder with this name is mentioned in the entire Domesday Book: David 'Latimer', or the Interpreter. Keats-Rohan suggests that this David, who was a tenant of William de Braose in Dorset, was probably identical with the David 'de Argentomo' of Cambridgeshire and Bedfordshire. William came from Briouze-Saint-Gervais, in the arrondissement of Argentan, and feudal relationships in Normandy were often replicated in England after the Norman Conquest.

In any case, David de Argentein's holdings in England were modest, and given the paucity of records in this period, it is not surprising that we know nothing more of him.

There are inscriptions on two other stones:U 336 erected by himself and U 343 erected by his children after his death. All 3 probably stood at Bårresta farm.
Stone U 344 (2.5 meters tall. It was part of a building and removed in the 1800s and placed beside Orkesta church.): "But Ulv has in England taken three tributes. It was the first paid, that Toste paid. Then paid Torkel. Then paid Knut."
U-344 tells about his feats. He has been in England and no less than three times received ayment (danegeld) for not plundering. Knut is most certainly Knut The Great who seiged London in 1016 and returned home in 1018, and it is likely that Torkelis the Jomsviking cheif who came to England in 1009-1012. Knut's geld was paid in 1018. The stone is not signed but attributed to Åsmund Kåreson, as are many others, who was probably of Anglo-Saxon origin or lived in England for some time and mayhave arrived in Uppsala with Knut's troops in 1018. Sometimes he is identified as Osmandus, known to Adam of Bremen, who also came from England and was sent toPoland as a bishop by the Pope. Later he appeared as the bishop in the court in Uppsala.

Apepy

Auserre
This ruler is well attested for and he was probably the one who had the longest reign of all Hyksos kings.
His personal name Apepy (Greek: Apopis) was obviously taken from the Egyptian god Apep and his throne name (seen within a cartouche in picture right) means - "Great and Powerful Like Re". He's believed to have been a well educated ruler who got into a war he was strongly opposed to. He probably triggered it himself by sending a provocative letter (now in British Museum) where he addresses the Egyptian king Tao II in Thebes with a complaint that was really odd.

Seal of Apepy
He wrote that he couldn't sleep at night because he was disturbed by the snoring and roaring of king Tao's hippopotami in Thebes 800 km to the south(!). Soon after this message king Tao is believed to have taken up arms against him and thereby the war of liberation was started.
It's quite possible that his power at this late state of his reign had been going over to others and the letter was a product of their will and not his own. Some scholars advocate that two rulers were named Apepy due to some names appearing (see cartouche at next king below) but it's possible that he had different forms of his name during his long reign. Apepi is mentioned in two papyri, a list from priests in Memphis and many pieces of architecture which give the names of his sisters Tani and Tcharydjet and daughter Harta. Manetho (by Flavius) gives him a good 36 year long reign and scholars of today up to 42 around 1600-1559 BC.
~0910 - 0970 Fernan Gonzalez 60 60 Conde de Lara, Count of Castille/Leon/1st King Se- User- En-Re Yakubher Mer- User-Re King Yakubher's throne name (seen within a cartouche in picture right) means - "Strong is the Love of Re". Practically nothing is known from the reign of this king (sometimes called Yakobner) and it's doubtful if he has left any remain beside being mentioned in king list written 1500 years after his time on the throne.
His Aramean name is related to biblical Jacob, and has made some groups see this as "evidence" that the Hyksos people were the Israelites. He is by some thought to fit into the many gaps in the 14th dynasty along with 11 other rulers with Hyksos names not present in the Canon of Turin. He seems in that case to place at the end of that dynasty.
If he is from dynasty 15 his reign might be 8 years around 1634-1626 BC.
His remains are from scarab-seals only (about two dozens) found mostly in Egypt, but also a few from Palestine and a single one from Nubia in the south.
Sheshi Ma- Yeb-Re Sheshi

Maaibre
Obscure king mentioned by Manetho and also called Beon, Baion and Bnon.
His throne name May-ib-re (seen within a cartouche in picture right) and meaning - "Seeing in the Heart of Re". Hundreds of physical evidence of his existents have been found: 394 scarab seals and 2 seal impressions found in a wide area in the Middle East. He is noted in Manetho's list as the second king of dynasty 15 and for a reign of 44 years, a duration that has been rejected by modern scholars. Today these figures are adjusted to a period in rule spanning between 3 and 14 years depending on who has come up with the theory.

Seal of Sheshi
A suggestion is that it might have taken place around: 1646-1635 BC.
He is also put among the first kings of the 14th dynasty together with Ahotepre and Quare (Ryholt 1997). These two latter are also well attested for and have left dozens of scarab amulets from their reigns. Despite all remains none of the three rulers can be put in place with a hundred percent accuracy.

te: Ragnvald was the nephew of Sigrid "The Haughty" Tostesdatter married King Eirik of Sweden and was mother of King Olaf Eiriksson, who when widowed turned down and had King Harald Grenski killed, turned down King Olaf Trygvasson, and then marriedKing Svein Forkbeard. Ragnvald's first wife, Ingeborg, was the sister of King Olaf Tryggvassonand great grandaughter of King Haralfd Fairhair and was a strong woman. His second wife who he married in about 1020, Astrid, married King Emund ofSweden after he died.
Through the urging of his first wife, Ingebiorg, he met with King (Saint) Olaf at the Gaut Elf River in 1017 and agreed to peace even though King Olaf of Sweden was furious with the Norwegian King. Later King (Saint)Olaf sent Bjorn the Marshalland Hjalti to King Olaf of Sweden to make peace, giving him a fine sword that Earl Rognvald had given him and giving Bjorn a finger ring for Earl Rognvald. He first went to Earl Ulf's home in Skara for a long while and told him of his mission.Earl Rognvald told them to wait until the right time to go to King Olaf of Sweden, but Ingeborg was pursuaded to let Hjalti go and he was well received until he brought up peace with King (Saint) Olaf. Later Bjorn got Earl Rognvald to go with himto meet Olaf of Sweden's daughter Ingigreth who King (Saint) Olaf wished to marry and she was amenable. Later Earl Ulf met with King Olaf of Sweden and brought up peace and marriage of daughter Ingigreth to King (Saint) Olaf whereupon the Kingcalled him guilty of high treason and should be banished from Sweden and that the Earl's wife Ingeborg must be in back of all this. With the help of Thorgny the Lawspeaker, the situation eased and the King agreed to peace and the marriage ofIngigreth.
# In 1018 when King (Saint) Olaf went to Konungahella, the Swedish king and his bride-to-be did not show up so he sent messengers to Earl Rognvald to see what happened. Earl Rognvald got a message from Ingireth that her father was breaking theagreement and may make war on Norway. Earl Rognvald instead arranged for Ingerith's half sister Asthrith to marry King Olaf and she age=reed and did so without her father's permission. he was presented noble gifts. Whe Ingigreth was to go toHolmgarth to marry King Jarizleif she wanted Earl Rognald to accompany her and King olaf of Sweden said he would hang Earl Rognvald instead. She convinced him to let her take Earl Rognvald to Holgarth to stay. When there, she bestowed on EarlRognvald the castle of Aldeigjuborg as well as the earldom belonging to it and he lived there long until he died. Text: P. 139

John is the English equivalent of Jan, as Lawrence is the equivalent of Louris.

We can't say for certain if Jan was really from the Netherlands. If what Louris said about his place of birth being in Husum, Schleswig-Holstein (then under Danish control), the family origins may have been DANISH. Schleswig-Holstein had a habit of not remaining under the control of one country for long stretches of time however, and Germany wanted it. It is possible that the OPDYCK family may have had German origins too. Gysbert Op Dyck was born in Wesel, Germany. Something to think about, but no one knows for sure.

In spite of the above, the research done by Leonard Eckstein Opdycke for publication in "The Op Dyck Genealogy" (1889) uncovered a number of generations of males who used the name "op den Dyck" in the Elburg area back as far as 1355, so the available evidence appears to continue to support the Elburg, Gelderland nesting area for our family.

The Hamlet of Marbury, comprehendeth only the manor-house, called Marbury Hall. (There is a beautiful Steel Engraving of the manor-house.) This also shows the demain lands thereunto belonging; and hath its name from our two old English words: Mere, which signifies a great lake or pool, and Birg, which signifies a house, or place covered, and sometimes a town. Here it denotes as much as house or dwelling by the Mere. About the beginning of the reign of Henry III, 1216, Warin Vernon, Baron of Shibbrok, confirms this hamlet to William de Mereberie. From hence had this family the surname of Merbury and seems to be originally a Vernon property.

8th Earl of Warwick

The first of this family mentioned is John de Plessets, an eminent Norman who came to England in the beginning of the reign of Henry III. He became a domestic servant in the court of King Henry III, and, having served in the Welsh wars, was constituted governor of the castle of Devizes, in Wiltshire, and warden of the forest of Chippenham, in the same shire. In the 24th King Henry's reign [1240] he was sheriff of Oxfordshire, and in two years afterwards he had a grant of the wardship and marriage of John Bisset, and likewise of the heirs of Nicholas Malesmaines. Certain it is that he enjoyed in a high degree the favour of his royal master for, upon the death of John Mareschal, who had m. Margery, the sister and heir of Thomas de Newburgh, Earl of Warwick, the king sent his mandate to the archbishop of York, the bishop of Carlisle, and William de Cantilupe, requiring them that they should earnestly persuade this opulent widow to take John de Plessets for her 2nd husband. Nay, so much did he desire the union that, upon Christmas day in the same year, being then at Bordeaux, he granted to John Plessets, by patent, the marriage of this Margery in case he could procure her consent; and if not, that then he should have the fine which the lady would incur by marrying with the king's license. This course of the king's however, prevailed, and his favourite obtained the hand of Margery de Newburgh, Countess of Warwick, and widow of John Mareschal, styled Earl of Warwick.

De Plessets was subsequently constituted constable of the Tower of London, but not by the title of Earl of Warwick, not did he assume that dignity for some time afterwards. He did, however, eventually assume it, under a clause in a fine levied in the 31st Henry III [1247], whereby William Mauduit, and Alice, his wife, did, as much as in them lay, confer the earldom upon him for life, so that, if he outlived the countess, his wife, he should not be forced to lay it aside. In the August ensuing, the King, granting to him license to fell oaks in the forest of Dene, styles him Earl of Warwick, and thenceforward he bore that dignity. His lordship was appointed in four years afterwards one of the justices itinerant to sit at the Tower for hearing and determining such pleas as concerned the city of London; and at the breaking out of the contest between Henry and the barons, he was constituted sheriff of the cos. Warwick and Leicester; but he lived not to see the issue of those troubles, for, falling sick in the beginning of the month of February, 1263, he d. before its expiration.

His lordship left issue by his first wife but none by the Countess of Warwick.

I leave the references & wives for historical purposes (Douglas Richardson leaves open the possibility that one or both were actually wives of John), but have changed the children to be of Eleanor de Bohun. Douglas Richardson specifically states that all three of these children's mother was Maud de Vernun. Originally Roger was son of Maud Basset, Henry & Joan children of Anne Ferrers.

Dear Newsgroup ~

In the wake of the new discovery of Theobald de Verdun's wife, Margery de Bohun, new attention has been turned to the baronial families of Verdun and Bohun. As indicated by Complete Peerage, Theobald de Verdun's step-mother, Eleanor, 2nd wife of John de Verdun, is thought to have been a Bohun, she having sealed with those arms as reported by Complete Peerage sub Verdun. Chris Philips reported his findings on this matter in a post today.

As it turns out, Eleanor, 2nd wife of John de Verdun, does in fact appear to have been a Bohun. My research indicates that Eleanor evidently had as her maritagium the manor of Debden, Essex (a Bohun manor), which property she in turn conveyed as a widow in 1275/6 to John de Grey, of Wilton, co. Hereford, and his wife, Maud. The fine conveying this property is found in Essex Feet of Fines, vol. 2, pg. 13. At his death years later, John de Grey is stated to have held the manor of Debden of Eleanor de Verdun by the service of a rose, the standard service for property granted in marriage in this period (see Cal. IPM, vol. 6, pg. 311). As such, it seems rather clear that John de Grey's wife, Maud, was the daughter of John de Verdun, by his 2nd wife, Eleanor de Bohun.

We can be reasonably certain that Maud de Grey was Eleanor de Verdun's daughter, as Eleanor being a Bohun surely had the manor of Debden in marriage, and in turn passed it along to her daughter, Maud. In this time period, a woman's maritagium almost always fell to her descendants, unless she happened to be childless, when she sometimes conveyed it away to strangers. In Eleanor's case, we know that she had several other male children, so the odds that she would convey her maritagium to the Grey family without there being a kinship is virtually slim to none. Also, it appears that John de Grey and his wife, Maud, were small children at the time of Eleanor de Verdun's fine. Complete Peerage indicates that John de Grey was born about 1268 (he being aged 40 at his father's death in 1308). Eleanor de Verdun's other known child, Humphrey, was born in 1267. It would be odd for Eleanor to convey her property to children, unless of course one of the parties was her own child.

Following John de Grey's death, the manor of Debden, Essex was in turn held by John and Maud de Grey's son and heir, Henry de Grey, Lord Grey, of Wilton (see Cal. IPM, vol. 8, pg. 261), as well as by a later Henry Grey, Lord Grey, of Wilton (see Cal. IPM, vol. 17, pg. 253). At the later Henry de Grey's death, he is stated to hold the manor of "Weldebernys" in Debden of the Countess of Hereford (a Bohun descendant). The passage of this manor down to John de Grey's son, Henry, and thence to his heirs gives evidence that Henry was in fact the son of John de Grey's wife, Maud de Verdun.

These new discoveries causes a ripple of corrections for Complete Peerage as well as for the Plantagenet Ancestry manuscript. For starters, it now appears that John de Grey had but one wife, Maud de Verdun, not two as claimed by Complete Peerage. Also, it appears Maud de Verdun was the mother of all of John de Grey's children, presumably including Iseult Saint Pierre, living 1343, whose existence and identity I mentioned in a post this past week.

As soon as I have time, I will post copies of the specifics of the fines and inquisitions which show the links between the Bohun, Verdun, and Grey families. I will also post a list of the colonial immigrants who descend from this Bohun-Verdun-Grey combination. I haven't checked my lists yet, but I'm sure this set of discoveries will change many people's charts here on the newsgroup. Perhaps if John Ravilious has a moment, he can post a tabular pedigree chart showing the descent.

As for the identity of parentage of Eleanor de Bohun, Complete Peerage indicates that she married before 1267 to John de Verdun, and that they had a son, Humphrey de Verdun, born in 1267. If we assume that Eleanor was around 20 at the time of marriage, say 1265, the chronology would place Eleanor, born say 1245, as a hitherto unknown daughter of Humphrey de Bohun, Earl of Hereford (died 1275), by his 2nd wife, Maud de Avenbury. The date of the marriage of Earl Humphrey and Maud de Avenbury is not known, but presumably it was soon after the death of his 1st wife, Maud of Eu, which took place in 1241. Earl Humphrey and Maud are known to have had children, but no modern descendants have been found for this couple.

If anyone has any further particulars which would shed additional light on this matter, I would appreciate hearing from them at my e-mail address below. In closing, I wish to thank John Ravilious, Chris Phillips and Cristopher Nash for their continued helpful posts on the Mortimer, Verdun, Bohun and Grey families. Yes, answers can be found to ancient questions. Collegiality is the one of the keys to finding those answers.

Dear Newsgroup ~

Yesterday I spent further time researching the published literature regarding the topic of the marriages of John de Grey, 2nd Lord Grey of Wilton (died 1323). My research indicates that the original source for John de Grey's two marriages to Anne de Ferrers and Maud Basset is the 1619 Visitation of Leicester, published in 1870, as Harleian Society Publications, vol. 2, pg. 74. As best I can determine, this particular visitation is wildly inaccurate. Out of five marriages reported for various Lord Greys of Wilton in this pedigree, I can only document one of them. Of the other four, evidence exists to prove that one is incorrect, one is unlikely, and two probably never took place. Moreover, the pedigree overlooked John de Grey's marriage to Maud de Verdun, for which marriage I found solid evidence this past week. Needless to say, as a general rule, visitations are usually more accurate than this.

I found all published sources I consulted to have followed the 1619 Visitation of Leicester in lockstep, with one exception. The exception was Thomas Blore's History and Antiquities of the County of Rutland, published 1811, pp. 164-165. Following the 1619 Visitation of Leicester, Blore stated John de Grey married (1st) Anne de Ferrers, by whom he had his eldest son, Henry (ancestor of the later Lords Grey of Wilton). He varied from the visitation when he stated that John de Grey married (2nd) "Matilda, daughter of John de Verdun, Constable of Ireland," by whom he had his younger son, Roger (ancestor of the later Lords Grey of Ruthin). Unfortunately, Blore gave no sources for his Grey pedigree, so it is unknown where he found a record of John de Grey's marriage to Maud de Verdun.

Blore withstanding, it appears that Maud de Verdun was the mother of at least three of John de Grey's children, they being both sons, Henry and Roger (who reportedly shared their mother's maritagium at Debden, Essex), and at least one daughter, Joan, wife of Ralph Basset. I find no evidence whatsoever that John de Grey was ever married to an Anne de Ferrers.

Beyond this, William Harvey's History and Antiquities of the Hundred of Willey, pg. 318, states that there is a pedigree of the Grey family found in Harl. MS. 110, fo. 31, with a shield of 16 quarters, as follows: 1 Grey, 2 Glanvile, 3 Fitzhugh, 4 Longchamp, 5 De la vach, 6 Grey, 7 Hastings, 8 Cantilupe, 9 Scote, 10 Bruse, 11 Brewer, 12 Valence, 13 Manchany, 14 Marshall, 15 Fitzosbert, 16 Hastings. I have not seen this particular pedigree but it may well worth someone's time to examine. It should be available at the British Library in the London area. This pedigree appears to be different from the 1619 Visitation of Leicester, as the 1619 pedigree provided only eight arms in the Grey quarterings, not sixteen.

Lastly, regarding the terminology, "it is said," the late Dr. David Faris told me that those words are used in Complete Peerage when the sole source for a marriage is a visitation pedigree, for whom no independant verification has been found.

~1226 - 1274 John le Botiller de Verdun 48 48 John de Verdun, b. c 1226, d. 21 Oct 1274, son of Theobald le Boteler and Rohese de Verdun. [Magna Charta Sureties]

Tenant-in-chief in Ireland.

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

JOHN DE VERDUN, 2nd son of Theobald BUTLER, or LE BOTILLER (who died 19 July 1230, in Poitou), being 1st son by his 2nd wife, Rohese,[a] daughter and heir of Nicholas DE VERDUN, of Alton, Staffs, &c., was born about 1226. In May--June 1244 he was to be given his wife's share of the lands of her grandfather, Walter de Lacy, Lord of Meath; and on 3 May 1247 he was to have seizin of his mother's lands. He was granted protection, May 1248, to go to Ireland, which he visited many times during his life; was given quittance of common summons in many counties, during 1254-72, and was appointed one of the Justices in eyre for cos. Salop, Stafford, Warwick, Leicester and Lincoln, December 1259. He had further protections to go to Gascony, May 1253, and for service in Wales, August 1257, where he was Constable of the army which mustered at Chester; was ordered to defend the Marches against the Welsh in January 1259/60; and was summoned to London to aid the King, April 1260, and to Windsor, for the same reason, October 1263. Later in that year he was among the Royalists who promised to observe the award of Louis of France touching the Provisions of Oxford. During the conflict between Simon de Montfort and the Crown John followed the King. In August 1265, after the Royal victory at Evesham, he was Keeper of Odiharn Castle, Hants; in October following he wrote, with others, to report to the King the surrender of London; and in February 1265/6 he was appointed to protect Worcestershire from the attacks of the rebels in Kenilworth Castle. In August 1270 he accompanied the Lord Edward on his Crusade; and witnessed a charter granted by him in Sicily, 15 January 1270/1. He established the Franciscan priory at Dundalk, co. Louth.

He married, 1stly, before 14 May 1244, Margery, 1st daughter of Gilbert DE LACY, of Ewyas Lacy, co. Hereford, by Isabel, daughter of Hugh (LE BIGOD), EARL OF NORFOLK, which Gilbert (who died v.p. between 12 August and 25 December 1230) was son and heir ap. of Walter de Lacy, Lord of Meath (who died s.p.m.s. shortly before 24 February 1240/1), to whom Margery was coheir. He married, 2ndly, before 1267, Eleanor (f). He is said to have died 21 October 1274. His widow was living, 10 June 1278. [Complete Peerage XII/2:246-8, (transcribed by Dave Utzinger)]

[a] Besides Alton her great inheritance in England and Ireland included Brandon Castle, co. Warwick, Belton, co. Leicester, and Farnham Royal, Bucks, which manor was held by the service of finding a glove for the King's hand on the day of his Coronation.

(f) Presumably his son Humphrey, b. on the vigil of Pentecost 1267, was by the 2nd wife. Nothing is known of Eleanor's parentage but she may have been a Bohun. A seal, said to be hers, bears the Bohun and Verdun arms and the name of her son, Humphrey, may be significant.

Robert I (the Bruce) 1306-29


Robert the Bruce, 2nd Earl of Carrick and grandson of the old Competitor had supported Edward I against Balliol but, when Wallace renounced the guardianship of Scotland Bruce and Balliol's nephew, John "Red" Comyn replaced him as joint guardians. After a quarrel with Comyn he returned to Edward's camp and obtained a pardon. Bruce, seeking a reconciliation with Comyn, impulsively stabbed him at Dumfries in a church. He was again outlawed by Edward and excommunicated. Bruce claimed the Scottish throne as great-great-grandson of David I and was crowned at Scone in 1306. He went into hiding in a cave on an island off Ireland after he killed Red Comyn. This is where we get the legend of Bruce and the spider. We do not know if this is a true story but it makes a good legend. He watched the spider spinning its web and attempting to fix the web to the ceiling. At last the spider succeeded. According to the legend, this inspired Bruce to overcome his many hardships and persevere until he had won back Scotland. He made plans to take back his original home, Turnberry Castle. As they made their way to the castle, the plan was that if all was well, a light would be showing at the castle wall. They did see the light but upon nearing the castle, discovered that it was an enemy fire. Nonetheless, Bruce attacked and by this surprise attack gained food, armour and horses. He learned that three of his brothers and his wife, daughter and two sisters had been imprisoned by the English. Although he was now King, he was not well supported by the nobles and so Scottish lands and castles remained in the hands of the English. He knew that he would have to fight castle by castle in order to regain Scotland and drive the English out. Through his perseverance, by 1324 all castles in Scotland except Stirling were in Scottish hands. By this time Edward II was on the throne of England and was much more ineffectual than his father.

Bruce's much smaller force spectacularly defeated Edward II's 20,000 strong army at Bannockburn.

The Declaration of Arbroath, an affirmation of Scottish independence, was sent to the Pope but the Pope did not recognize Bruce for four years as the rightful king of Scotland. After Edward III ascended to the throne, Bruce's army harassed the English so much that Edward III was forced to acknowledge his sovereignty and Scotland's freedom.

Not long after the peace Bruce died. He was buried in Dunfermline Abbey. He had always wanted to go on a crusade. When he died his heart was placed in a silver casket and kept by Sir James Douglas who planned to take it on a crusade to the Holy Lands. Douglas joined the army of the King of Spain and while fighting a battle was killed. But before he died, he threw the casket in the midst of the battle crying, "Now go before, brave heart, as you always did, and I shall follow you or die." The casket was recovered
and returned to Scotland.

At the end of Bruce's life, he had achieved what he had fought for years to accomplish. Scotland was once again an independent kingdom. Scotland remembers him as "Good King Robert" and his triumph at Bannockburn is a rallying cry to Scots everywhere. Scotland would never again be conquered. Bruce's final legacy was to confirm "Scotland as separate and distinct, not just as a kingdom but as a community, a people and ultimately a nation."

Ferdinand III (of Castile and León)  Ferdinand III (of Castile and León), called The Saint (1199-1252), king of Castile (1217-52) and of León (1230-52); he was the son of King Alfonso IX of León and Castile. In 1217 Ferdinand's mother, Berengaria, renounced her title to the Castilian throne in favor of her son. Alfonso, who had himself expected to acquire Castile, was angered at his wife's action, and, aided by a group of Castilian nobles favorable to his claim, made war upon his newly crowned son. Ferdinand, however, with the wise counsel of his mother, proved more than a military match for Alfonso, who at length was forced to abandon his plan of conquering Castile. Through the good offices of Berengaria, Ferdinand was able to effect the peaceful union of León and Castile upon the death of his father in 1230. Ferdinand devoted his energies to prosecuting the war against the Moors, conquering Córdoba in 1236 and Seville in 1248. He was rigorous in his suppression of the heretical Albigenses, a fact largely responsible for his canonization more than two centuries later. In 1242 Ferdinand reestablished at Salamanca the university originally founded by his grandfather.  Encarta® 98 Desk Encyclopedia © & 1996-97 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.  Ferdinand III of Castile From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.  Fernando III called El Santo (the Saint), (1198/1199 - May 30, 1252) was a king of Castile (1217 - 1252) and Leon (1230 - 1252). He was the son of Alfonso IX and Berenguela of Castile, daughter of Alfonso VIII. Because his parents were first cousins, their marriage was anulled, but Fernando remained legitimized and was able to succeed his father as king.  In 1231 he united Castile and Leon permanently.  Fernando spent much of his reign fighting the Moors. He captured the towns of Córdoba in 1236, Jaén in 1246, and Seville in 1248, and occupied Murcia in 1243, thereby completing the reconquest of Spain excepting Granada, whose king nevertheless did homage to Fernando.  He founded the University of Salamanca and the Cathedral of Burgos.  Fernando was canonized by Pope Clement X in 1671. Several places named San Fernando were founded across the Spanish Empire.  Marriages and Family In 1219, Ferdinand married the daughter of the German king Philip of Swabia, Elizabeth, called Beatriz in Spain. Their children were:  King Alfonso X of Castile (November 23, 1221-1284)  Infante Fadrique (September 1223-1277), secretly executed by his brother Alfonso.  Infante Fernando (March 1225-1243/1248)  Infanta Leonor (1227-died young)  Infanta Berenguela, a nun at las Huelgas (1228-1288/89).  Infante Enrique "El Senador" (March 1230-August 1304)  Infante Felipe (December 1231-1274). He was promised to the Church, but was so taken with the beauty of Princess Christine of Norway (daughter of Haakon IV of Norway), who had been intended as a bride for one of his brothers, that he abandoned his holy vows and married her.

(RIN 2137) with GERBERGA, wife of FULK II, COUNT OF ANJOU (RIN 1248)
are from an essay by Bernard S. Bachrach on the orgins of the countess
Gerberga included in his 1995 collection, "Studies in Early Angevin
History".
Stuart's "Royalty for Commoners" (258:38) identifies the wife of
MANASSES and mother of GISELBERT as "Ermengarde, princess of
Burgundy; d. 12 Apr 935; prob. dau. of BOSO, KING OF BURGUNDY [sic.KING
OF PROVENCE (RIN 2137)]."
Settipani's "La prehistoire des Capetiens" identifies her father asthis
same BOSO (RIN 2137).

Subject: Re: Wife of Manassas I, C. of Chalon
"Giselbert appears with his mother Ermengarde (I) in a charter of924.
I don't think she died in 935, but she was dead by then. Some of the
confusion undoubtedly comes from the fact that GISELBERTs wife was
also called ERMENGARDE (II) in a charter of 942, which also namestheir
daughter ADELAIDE. No document or source says who the fathers of these
different Ermengarde's were. But some have speculated that the name
Ermengarde was introduced into these families by the marriage of BOSO
to ERMENGARDE OF ITALY [RIN 2138] (dau. of LOUIS II [RIN 2139], whose
mum was ERMENGARDE d.851). Thus some see Ermengarde (I) as a dau of
BOSO OF PROVENCE (d.887), therefore grand-dau of BUVINUS COUNT OF
METZ [RIN 4258] (and I think this theory can be found somewhere in the
ES).
A old view was that Ermengarde (II) was the daughter of RICHARD THE
JUSTICIAR [RIN 1238] (d.921) brother of BOSO: this was followed by
Mckitterick in her book on the Carolingians (1983). But there havebeen
other theories as well. The ES is not much help on this as it tends to
plonk the various (often contradictory) theories down in different
volumes, without any explanation. I wonder what Settipani says?
I think some have noted that there is yet another Ermengarde (III)who
appears as the first wife of Leotold of Macon and Besancon in thecharter
of 935 (Cluny 432): she was a daughter of Manasses I and sister of
GISELBERT (C.Bouchard 'Sword and Mitre')."

She [Milicent de Stafford] married, before 1193, Hervey BAGOT, who assumed the name of DE STAFFORD upon becoming seised of the barony. In 1166 he held 3 knights' fees of Robert de Stafford; in 1193-94. He offered 200 marks to have the barony of Robert de Stafford, which was the inheritance of his wife, Robert's sister, and in 1194, with the consent of his wife and his heirs, he granted Drayton to the canons of St. Thomas the Martyr of Stafford in return for 35 silver marks towards the sum due to the King. He died before 25 August 1214, leaving his wife surviving. She was dead in January 1224/5, and was buried with her husband at Stone. [Complete Peerage XII/1:170, (transcribed by Dave Utzinger)]
