# Note: Switched sides from Stephen to Matilda.

# Note: His father was made the Marshal of King Henry Ist's horses.

# Note: Initially "marshal" was a title. The family subsequently took it as a surname.

# Note:

    His son William was about 6 or 8 years old when the following story began to unfold. When Stephen found out that John switched allegiance to Matilda, he sought him out at Newbury Castle in 1152. Stephen granted a truce to John while he confered with Matilda. As security, Stephen requested one of John's sons. John surrendered his youngest son William. When John used the respite to provision and garrison the castle, Stephen threatened to hang little William unless John surrendered.

# Note:

    John defied him sending word that he, "had the anvils and hammers with which to forge still finer sons." The boy was led out to be hanged, but his innocent confidence so touched the king's heart that he picked him up and carried him back to camp. Later someone suggested that they catapult William over the castle wall, but Stephen forbade it saying, "William will never be harmed by me."

# Note:

    The civil war ended in 1153 and after spending two months as prisoner, was returned to his parents. Stephen made a treaty with Matilda that ensured his reign as ruler for the rest of his life. Stephen died the following year and was succeeded by Henry II, son of Matilda.

When his father died, he was in ward to King Henry II., and, in 1194, he was in the army of Richard I., in Normandy. Already a wealthy man at the time of the accession of John to the throne, he received several additional grants of great value. In 1201, when the barons refused to attend their sovereign into France, King John demanded that their castles should be given up to him as security for their allegiance, beginning with William de Albini of whom he claimed Belvoir Castle, instead of which de Albini gave him his son, William, as hostage. He appears to have remained longer faithful to King John, as well as more moderate in his opposition to him, than most of the barons, and did not join the insurgents until he could no longer with safety either remain neutral, or adhere to the King, for so late as January 1214-15, he was one of the King's commissioners appointed for the safe-conduct of such as were traveling in his court, at Northampton. After he joined the baron's party, he entered with great spirit into their cause and was excommunicated; but, after having gained their point, he was looked upon with suspicion by the other sureties because he did not attend the grand tournament in Staine's Wood, on June 29, 1215, to celebrate the victory, and it was not until after other barons had alarmed him, that he forfeited his castle at Belvoir, and joined them at London. But the sequel proves their suspicions were not well grounded. He was placed as governor of Rochester Castle, when, though he found it so utterly destitute of provisions as almost to induce his men to abandon it, he recruited and held it until famine and weakness, and watching, obliged them to surrender to the King. The siege having lasted three months, and his army being attended with considerable loss, King John ordered that all nobles in the castle be hanged; but his chief counselors resolutely opposing the sentence, William de Albini and his son Odonel, with several other barons, were merely committed to the custody of Peter de Mauley, and sent prisoners to Corfe and Nottingham Castles. While de Albini remained at Corfe, the King marched on Christmas morning, 1216, from Nottingham to Langar, near Belvoir Castle, and sent a summons to surrender. Upon this, Nicholas de Albini, one of the baron's sons, and a clerk in orders, delivered the keys to the King, asking only that his father should be mercifully treated. The fortress was then committed to the custody of Geoffrey and Oliver de Buteville. His liberty was gained only by William de Albini's paying a fine to the king of six thousand marks (More than 4,000 pounds), the sum being raised from his own lands by his wife. After King John's death, though he submitted himself to King Henry III., William de Albini was forced to give his wife and son Nicholas as hostages for his allegiance; but in 1217 he was one of the king's commanders at the battle of Lincoln. He died at Offington, May 1, 1236, and was buried at Newstead, and "his heart under the wall, opposite the high altar," at Belvoir Castle. William de Albini, the Surety, had no children by his second wife Agatha, daughter of William de Trusbut. By his first marriage to Margery, daughter of Odonel, Baron d'Umfraville, he had the following children:

1. Robert de Albini, d.s.p.
2. Nicholas de Albini, d.s.p.
3. Odonel de Albini, d.s.p.
4. William de Albini, Junior. See below.
5. William de Albini, Junior, also served in the baronial army. He married, (1) Albreda, daughter of Henry, Lord Biseth, and dying in 1285, left a daughter, Isabel de Albini, sole heiress to the Surety, her grandfather.
6. Isabel de Albini died in 1301. She was a ward of the king and on May 17, 1244, Bernard de Savoy and Hugh Gifford were commanded to deliver her to her husband Robert de Roos, grandson of the Surety of that name. "But not," says Dugdale, 'without a round computation, for there appears that both he and his wife in the 32nd year of King Henry III. were debtors to the king in no less the sum of 3,285 pounds, 13 shillings, and 4 pence, and a palfrey; of which sum the king was then pleased to accept 200 marks a year until it should be paid."

Earl of Sussex
Custos of Windsor Castle
WILLIAM D'AUBIGNY, Earl of Sussex, who was confirmed in that dignity in 1176-7; Richard I granted him the Honour after his coronation 3 Sept., 1189, when he is styled "Earl of Sussex," and before 18 Sept., 1189, when he is styled "Earl of Arundel;" 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 until Richard I restored them to him 27 June, 1190, when he became Earl of Arundel; was, however, styled Earl of Arundel before he received possession of the Castle and Honour, namely, on 18 Sept., 1189, and on 26 Nov. of the same year he witnessed King Richard's Charter as "Will. Earl of Arundel;" received also at the same 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; married Maud, widow of Roger de Clare, Earl of Hertford (who had died 1173), daughter and heir of James de St. Hilaire du Harcouet, and Aveline his wife; died 24 Dec., 1193, and was buried at Wymondham Priory.
(Fenwick Allied Ancestry, page 102)
 1176 Agnes de Albini 1090 - 1176 William d'Aubigney 86 86 William de Albini (d'Aubigny), III, surnamed "William with the strong hand," from the following circumstance, as related by William Dugdale:

"It happened that the Queen of France, being then a widow, and a very beautiful woman, became much in love with a knight from an other country, who was a comely person, and in the flower of his youth; and because she thought that no man excelled him in valor, she caused a tournament to be proclaimed throughout her dominions, promising to reward those who should exercise themselves therein, according to their respective abilities; and concluded that if the person whom she so well affected should act his part better than others in those military exercises, she might marry him without any dishonor to herself. Hereupon divers gallant men, from foreign parts hasting 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 enamored 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 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 color of showing 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 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 married Adeliza of Lorraine, Queen of England, widow of King Henry I., and the daughter of Godfrey, Duke of Lorraine. See her ancestral lineage elsewhere in Volume I. Adeliza had the castle of Arundel in dowry from her deceased husband, the monarch, and thus her new lord became its feudal earl, 1st Earl of Arundel in this family. 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 Mandeville 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 Walceline de Oxeai, and almost drowned." In 1150, he 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 King 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 ardor, 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 favor the earl stood so high that he not only obtained for himself and his heirs the castle and honor 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 the shire. In 1164, we find the Earl of Arundel deputed with Gilbert Foliot, Bishop of London, to remonstrate with Louis, King of France, upon according an asylum to Thomas a Becket within his dominions, and on the failure of that mission, dispatched 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, in the 12th year of Henry II., the knight's fees of the honor 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 Mandeville, 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. Edmundbury. This potent nobleman, after founding and endowing several religious houses, died at Waverley, in Surrey, on October 3, 1176, and was buried in the Abbey of Wymondham. He and his wife, Adeliza, widow of King Henry I., had four sons and three daughters as follows:

1. William de Albini, the eldest son. See below.
2. a second son, no data available at this time.
3. a third son, no data available at this time.
4. a fourth son, no data available at this time.
5. Alice, eldest daughter, married John, Earl of Ewe.
6. a second daughter, no data available at this time.
7. a third daughter, no data available at this time.

 1064 - 1139 William d'Aubigney 75 75 # 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. 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."

# Note:

    The early history of the family will be found in The Complete Peerage, surname Mowbray, new ed., vol. ix, pp. 366-7. The details of their benefactions to the abbey of Lessay as confirmed by a charter of Henry II, 1185-1188, identify St-Martin d'Aubigny with the Aubigny which was the caput of their Norman honour; thus the "ecclesiam de Folgeriis" is Feugeres 2 1/2 kil. SE of Aubigny, the "feria Sancti Christofori" mentioned in conjunction with the "forum Albinneii" is St-Christophe-d'Aubigny, a parish now united to that of St-Martin, and "Marchesis" is Marchesieux, 5 kil. NE of Aubigny. There is no trace of a feudal castle at Aubigny itself, but Gerville found nearby at Le Mesnil-Vigot the remains of a considerable castle with a well-defined motte, then known as "le chateau de St-Clair".

Roger d'Albini was the father, by his wife Amicia (sister of Robert de Mumbrey or Mowbray, Earl of Northumberland), of two distinguished sons. One of them, Sir Nigel d'Albini, was great-grandfather of William d'Albini, who was one of the Sureties of the Magna Charta.
(Kin of Mellcene Thurman Smith, page 731)


 1045 - 1084 Amice de Grentemesnil 39 39 sister of Robert de Mowbray, Earl of Northumberland,

A sister of Bishop Geoffrey de Montbray, was mother by Roger d'Aubigny (of Aubigny in the Cotentin) of two sons, Nigel and William, who were ardent supporters of Henry I, and were rewarded by him with great estates in England. William was made king's butler, and was father of William d'Aubigny (de Albini), first earl of Arundel; Nigel was rewarded with the escheated fief of Geoffrey de la Guerche, of which Melton (Mowbray) was the head, and with forfeited lands in Yorkshire. Nigel married, by dispensation, the wife of his cousin, the imprisoned earl, but afterwards divorced her, and by another wife was father of a son Roger, who took the name of Mowbray.

 1085 Roger Pincerna 1080 - 1129 Nigel d'Aubigny 49 49 Sir Nigel d'Albini, who came to England with the Conqueror and obtained several extensive lordships after the Battle of Hastings. He was knighted by Henry I, who conferred many grants and favors upon him, and so attached him to his sovereign that he served him faithfully in his cause against Robert Curthose (Robert of Normandy, Crusader), the King's brother, whom he captured and delivered over to King Henry, for which he had further rich grants of confiscated manors. For distinguished military services in Normandy he was remunerated by a royal grant of the forfeited lands and castles of his maternal uncle, Robert de Mowbray, both in Normandy and England. These grants made him possessor of 240 knight's fees, and consequently one of the most influential barons of his time. He died at an advanced age and was buried with his ancestors in the Abbey of Bec in Normandy. He married first his Aunt Maud (wife of his Uncle Robert), daughter of Richard, Baron Aquila. by papal dispensation, her husband Robert aforesaid being then alive, but in prison for rebellion. From her, by whom he had no issue, he was separated by the Pope on account of consanguinity and the scandal the marriage caused. He married 2nd in 1118 Gundreda, daughter of Gerald, second Baron de Gournay by his wife Edith, daughter of William de Warren, first Earl of Surrey and his wife Gundreda, daughter of William the Conqueror. By his 2nd wife he had Roger.

Note: Nele d'Aubigny (son of Roger and Amice), d. 21/26 Nov 1129, who was granted the English lands of Robert de Stuteville after the battle of Tinchebral, 1106. (Nele had m.

He was probably the Pons who witnessed a charter of the Conqueror to the abbey of Fecamp shortly before the Conquest. Walter, son of Pons, from whom the family of Hastings of Eaton Hastings probably descended, was also a tenant-in-chief in Leach, co. Gloucester, where Drew (Drogo) son of Pons (presumably his brother) had an equivalent holding in chief. Osbert son of Pons, presumably another brother, was given Longney on Severn, Glos, by William I, and gave it with the church to Malvern Priory in the time of Henry I, not later than 1127. As Osbern son of Pontius he had made an earlier (but not effective) gift of the church of Longney, with a fishery there, to Pershore Abbey on behalf of his son Ralph, a monk. He was probably the Osbert son of Poinz or Ponc' who was pardoned Danegeld in Glos and Bucks in 1130. Another member of the family was Richard son of Pons, who m. Maud, daughter of Walter of Gloucester. She had from her father in marriage, Ullingswick, co. Gloucester. Their eldest son Simon occurs as a knight shortly before 1129, and from their son Walter the family of Clifford descended. [Complete Peerage X:669-70 note (g)]

If the 1373 is a birth date (birth dates are not normally given in this format--reigning years of royalty usually are given like this--maybe MCS is indicating Eubulo's reigning years of clerking), then it leads to an impossible situation because Isabel's son Sir Thomas Aylesbury was born "c. 1369". In other words Thomas was born 4 years before his grandfather.

The other thing that is strange about the ancestry of Eubulo le Strange is that, if he was the son of Roger the 5th Lord, then being just a clerk he would be a younger son. Roger the 5th Lord's eldest son John was born about 1352. If Eubulo was born after 1352, then he could not have a grandson born about 1369.

I have found that the numbering of lordships varies all over the place, depending on which lineage/book you are following. Some number "Lord le Strange"s. Others number "Lord le Strange of Knockyn"s. Yet others go by certain creation dates and start renumbering every once in a while because some monarch re-knighted someone. Therefore I have made Eubulo's father Roger, the 4th Lord of Knockyn by my numbering system--and with a birth date of 1335, he is a younger son.

# Note: When some better dates/proofs come along, I will be happy to change my lineage to agree.

# Note: A little more proof has come along tending to confirm Eubulo as son of Roger. He had an uncle Ebles, a Baron and quasi Earl of Lincoln, who left Roger a lot of lands after he died in 1335. Therefore I think this Eubulo/Ebles is named after him.  1282 - 1311 John le Strange 29 29 1262 - 1295 John de Walton 33 33 1308 - 1347 Eleanor Strange 39 39 1253 - 1309 John le Strange 56 56     JOHN LESTRANGE V, son and heir, aged 22 and more at the date of his father's death; on 16 May 1276 he had done homage, and was to have his lands. In 1277 he was going to Wales on the King's service. On 10 January 1277/8, as "the king's yeoman", he had pardon for a debt due from his father. In 1292 he established his claim to free warren in Ness, Milton and Middle. On 12 December 1276, and frequently thereafter until 1287, he was summoned to serve against the Welsh; in 1294 he was summoned to Portsmouth to cross to France; and from 1298 to 1308 he was summoned to serve against the Scots. From 26 September 1299 to 10 March 1307/8 he was summoned to Parliament by writs directed Johanni Extraneo, whereby he is held to have become LORD STRANGE, and from 4 March 1308/9 to 12 December 1309 by writs directed Johanni Lestraunge de Knokyn. His seal was appended to the Barons' Letter to the Pope, where he is described as Johannes Lestraunge dominus de Knokyn or Johannes le Straungge. On 18 January 1307/8 he was summoned to attend the Coronation of Edward II. In 1308 he obtained a licence to crenellate his house of Middle.

    John V Lestrange, 1st Lord (Baron) Strange (of Knockyn), so created by writ 26 Sep 1299 onwards (first as Extraneus (Strange) then 4 March 1308/9 onwards as Strange of Knockyn); served in Edward I's Welsh campaigns 1276-87 and Scottish campaigns 1298-1308; married 1st Alienore, daughter of Joan (widow of Stephen de Somery; died c1240) and a subsequent husband of Joan's perhaps Godfrey de Crawcumbe; married 2nd Maud, daughter and heiress either of Roger de Deyville, of Walton Deyville, Warwicks, or of Ebles de Montibus, of Ketton, Rutland, leaving (presumably by his 2nd wife, since her putative paternity would account for the unusual forename Ebles being given to the 2nd son).

In 15th of Henry III, 1231, he obtained a grant of the inheritance of Wockwardine for the yearly rent of œ8, to be paid to the King and his heirs and successors. In 21st of Henry III, 1237, he was appointed Sheriff of Salop and Stafford and constituted Governor of the Castles of Salop and Brugges. He was afterwards one of the Baron's Marchers and had command to reside in the Marshes in order to resist incursions by the Welsh. In the contest between Henry III and the Barons he adhered with great fidelity to the King and obtained for his loyalty a grant of the lands
of Walter de Muscegros, which had been forfeited in that rebellion. 1210 - 1294 Lucy de Tregoz 84 84 1229 - 1310 Hawise le Strange 81 81 1237 Katherine le Strange 1168 - 1233 John le Strange 65 65 John le Strange, possessed the lordships of Nesse and Chesewurdine or Cheswardine, in the 11th of King John (1210), which he had by gift from Henry II, and also enjoyed the Manor of Wrockwurdine, which his brother Hamon formerly had. He was Governor of the Castle of Carracove in Wales and Sheriff of the County of Salop, and also the County of Stafford, and in the 3rd of Henry III (1216-1272) he obtained the King's precept for aid to rebuild part of his castle at Knockyn and to repair the rest of it.

In 1158 he had a grant from the King of land to the value of 7 l. 10s. yearly in Ness, Salop; in 1163-64 his brother Hamon's land in Cheswardine had passed to him. In 1166 he was returned in William FitzAlan's carta under Shropshire as holding 1 knight's fee of his Norfolk fee, and in his own carta as holding in chief in Shropshire Ness and Cheswardine by service of 1½ knights. In 1168-69 he had a grant from the King of pasture in Staffs. Before 1176 he gave the churches of Hunstanton and Cheswardine to Haughmond Abbey, having previously given to the Abbey a ½ virgate in Webscott. In 1171 he had a grant to pay the men serving in the March of Wales. He married Hawise. He was dead before Michaelmas, 1178.  1135 Hawise 1169 - 1199 Guy le Strange 30 30 1096 - 1158 Roald le Strange (Extraneus) 62 62 ROALD LESTRANGE (Extraneus) with others of the tenants of Alan FitzFlaald in Mileham, Norfolk, witnessed, before 1122, a charter of his lord in favour of Castleacre Priory; he held in Hunstanton, where he made a grant of land which was later confirmed by John Lestrange IV; he further attested a grant by Robert son of Wimer to Castleacre Priory. He married Maud, daughter of Ralph, son of HERLEWIN, or DE HUNSTANTON, by Helewise, daughter of Hugh DE PLAIZ, of Bernham, Suffolk. He died before, and probably some time before, 1158.

Roald 'Le Strange' or "Extraneus' may have been a Breton and was of a family that seems to have migrated from Brittany to England (hence his second name, whether in its French of Latin form). But it is less certain that his family were actually of Breton origin. He testified to a charter before 1122 and was a tenant of Alan fitz Fleald in Mileham, Norfolk; also held land in Hunstanton, Norfolk; married Maud, daughter of Ralph fitz Herlewin or Ralph de Hunstanton, and was in all probability dead by 1158, having had [John], with two other but not necessarily younger sons (Hamon, held lands in Cheswardine, Salopshire, dead by 1163/4; Guy, granted land in Alveley, Salop, Sheriff of Salop 1159-60, had at least two daus).

Robert was active in Normandy during the reigns of Richard I and John. He was with the King there in 1190 and during the years 1194-99, being called the King's Steward in 1194; and was bailiff of the Cotentin in 1195 and 1197, and under John. An agreement made between King Richard and the Count of Flanders in 1197 was witnessed by Robert, who in 1200 was at the determination of the bounds between Evreux and Neufbourg after the peace between King John
and Philip Augustus. During the years 1200-04 he was warden of the castles of Gavray, Neaufle and Similly, and custodian of the lands of Simon Pevilene; and in November 1204 he went on royal business to Flanders. He remained faithful to the English Crown after 1204, and his escheated lands in Trégots, Favarches and St. Romphaire were granted by Philip Augustus to Miles de Lévis, November 1218. Robert went to the continent on royal business with William Marshal, Earl of Pembroke, in the spring of 1205. He was also active in England, holding many offices during the reign of Richard I. The castle of Salisbury was in his care, 1190-94, and again in 1198 and 1199; he was keeper of the royal houses at Clarendon, 1190-93, and sheriff of Wiltshire in 1191. He farmed Gastard, in Corsham, Wilts, 1191-94, was granted money from Warminster in 1193, and farmed the lands of Geoffrey Hose in Wilts, 1197-1200. He also farmed Bristol, 1196-99. Robert answered for the lands of
Alan de Hairun in 1200, was granted estates, in payment of the King's debts to him, at Pencombe, co. Hereford, in 1205, and in the following year he received the manor of Chelworth, Sornerset. 1178 - 1236 Sibil de Ewyas 58 58 1125 - 1175 William de Tregoz 50 50 William de Tregoze, who flourished in the reign of Henry I, and of whom the Great Pipe Roll of 31 of Henry I, 1130/1, makes much mention. This Pipe Roll proves William Tregoze to have been a man of great consequence, and to have been concerned in Norfolk, Essex, Berks and Lincolnshire; and moreover that he then had the lands of William Peberell of London. William Tregoze married and had issue and very probably Agnes Tregoze, who we find living in 9th of Richard I, as concerned in Norfolk and Essex was his widow. His issue was apparently three sons and a daughter: Geoffrey, his heir, Sir Robert and John and Albreda, wife of Richard de Besville.

John de Somery, its first representative, who m. Hawise Paynel, seems to have held in Little Crawley, Bucks, under Gervase Paynel; but this may have been his wife's
maritagium. No link between John and the de Somery families of Essex, Kent, Herts and Cambridgeshire, or of Sussex, or of Somerset or Dorset, or of Surrey, is discoverable. There was an Agnes de Somery who, before 1170, held under Gervase Payne], in Churchill, Worcs; but she has not been identified. Edmondson and others have suggested that Somery of Dudley sprang from Ascelin, called Gouel de Perceval, ancestor of the Lovels of Castle Cary, Som. There appears to be no evidence for this beyond the fact that in two generations a younger son bore the additional name of Perceval. William de Somery, who succeeded his brother Ralph and died in 1222, is described variously as William de Somery, Percevall de Duddelegh or de Sumery, and William Percevall de Somery. Again, in 1278 and in 1300-01, John, younger brother of Roger de Somery, is styled Persevallus de Somery, and John Perceval de Somery; and he also appears in the Parliamentary Roll of Arms as Sire Perceval de Somery of Warwickshire, bearing Azure, 2 lions passant gold; Roger de Somery bore the coat of the Paynels, viz. Gold, 2 lions passant azure. Lodge states that Sir Roger Perceval, who was living in 1287, was also known as Sir Roger de Somery; but no authority is given, and none has been traced. He was certainly not identical with the contemporary Roger de Somery of Dudley. 1130 - 1197 Hawise Paynel 67 67 1123 - 1166 Roger de Somery 43 43 Christina 1093 - 1123 Robert de Somery 30 30 1193 - 1240 Isabel de Albini 47 47 1145 - 1190 Elias III Giffard 45 45 1146 - 1219 William Marshall (FitzGilbert) 73 73 William Marshal is the name of two important men in English history. They were father and son. The better known William (the father-- 1146 to 1219) was the 4th Earl of Pembroke and "greatest knight that ever lived" (Stephen Langton). Before him, the hereditary title of "Marshal" designated a sort of head of household security for the king of England; by the time he died, when people in Europe (not just Britain) said, "the Marshal," they meant William.

When William was about six years old, his father John Marshal had switched sides so often between King Stephen and Empress Maud that John had to give William to Stephen as a hostage for John's keeping his word that he would surrender Newbury Castle, which Maud had told John to hold for her. John broke his word, and when Stephen ordered John to surrender immediately or watch as he hanged William in front of the castle, John replied that he could always make another son, and a better one, too. Stephen could not bring himself to hang William, of course, or his story would end here.

As a younger son of a baron without much to leave him, William learned to make his own way: He was knighted in 1167 and was making a good living out of winning tournaments (which at that time were bloody, hand-to-hand combat, not the jousting contests that would come later); he fought in 500 such bouts in his life and never lost once. In 1170 he was appointed captain of the guard for Henry the Young King and stood by the young king during the Revolt of 1173-1174; he continued to serve the king of England for forty-nine years: through the rest of Henry II's reign, all of Richard I's, all of John's, and three years into that of Henry III. William once came face to face with Richard in battle and could have killed him but killed Richard's horse instead, to make that point clear. William it was whom Henry trusted to guard Queen Eleanor when he would let her out of prison to make some public appearance. William it was whom King John trusted on his deathbed to make sure John's nine-year-old son Henry would get the throne. It was William on June 15 1215 at Runnymede who dealt with the barons who made King John agree to the Magna Carta, and it was William who dealt with the kings of France (Louis VII and Philip Augustus). When they would not take the English king's word, they would take William's.

On November 11 1216, upon the death of King John, William Marshal was named by the king's council (the chief barons who had remained loyal to King John in the First Barons' War) to serve as both regent of the 9 year old King Henry III, and regent of the kingdom. William's first action after being named as regent was to reissue the Magna Carta, in which he is a signatory as one of the witnessing barons.

For his service to them, the Plantagenets gave him as his bride (in August 1189, when he was 43 and she 17) the second-richest heiress in England, Isabel de Clare, who had inherited large estates in England, Wales, and Ireland. She brought with her the title of Earl of Pembroke. They had five sons and five daughters, and every one of them survived into adulthood. Their eldest son William would marry (in April 1224) Eleanor, the nine-year-old sister of Henry III (and daughter of King John).

William Marshal's health failed him in February 1219. In March 1219 he realized that he was dying, so he summoned his eldest son, also William, and his household knights, then he left the Tower of London for his estate at Caversham in Oxfordshire, near Reading, where he called a meeting of the barons, Henry III, the papal legate, the royal justiciar (Hugh de Burgh), and Peter des Roches (Bishop of Winchester and the young King's guardian). William rejected the Bishop's claim to the regency and entrusted the regency to the care of the papal legate; he apparently did not trust the Bishop or any of the other magnates that he had gathered to this meeting. He wanted to be buried as a Knight Templar, so he was invested into that order before he died on May 14 1219 at Caversham, and was buried in the Temple Church in London, where his effigy may still be seen.

The end of the Marshal family
During the civil wars in Ireland, William, Sr., had taken two manors that the Bishop of Ferns claimed but could not get back. Some years after William's death, that bishop is said to have laid a curse on the family that William's sons would have no children, and the great Marshal estates would be scattered. Each of William's sons did become earl of Pembroke and marshal of England, and each died without issue. William's vast holdings were then divided among the husbands of his five daughters. The title of "Marshal" went to the husband of the oldest daughter, Hugh Bigod, 3rd Earl of Norfolk, and later passed to the Mowbray dukes of Norfolk and then to the Howard dukes of Norfolk, becoming "Earl Marshal" along the way. The title of "Earl of Pembroke" passed to the husband of Joan Marshal's daughter, Joan de Munchensy, the first of the de Valence line of earls of Pembroke.

Four generations of the Marshal family, from Isabel de Clare's parents through William fitzWilliam's fictitious bastard son, are the subjects of a series of four historical romances by Mary Pershall. Dawn of the White Rose ( 1985) is the one about William Marshal and Isabel de Clare.

killed in battle

Sir Robert de Tregoze, eldest son and heir, succeeded his father in his immense Wiltshire and Hereford estates, and was Baron Tregoze of Lydiard Tregoze in former county and Lord of Ewyas Harold in the latter, in right of his mother. He did homage and had livery of his mother's estates in Hereford, 1236, paying œ100 for his relief. He was living 40th of Henry III, 1256, and two years afterward was summoned to march against the Welsh, but in joining the rebellious barons of this reign, the same year was slain at the Battle of Evesham, Aug. 4, 1265, having had to wife Juliana, daughter William, Lord Catilupe by Millicent, daughter of Hugh de Gournai. Which Juliana brought the manor of Great Dodington in Northampton into the Tregoze family and bore her husband two children. By Roll of Arms compiled between 1240 and 1245 we find that Robert bore "Gules 3 bars gemels or, a lion passant in the chief of the same. They had Lucy and John.

Robert, the progenitor of this House, the fourth and youngest son of John le Strange (III) of Knockin. He died before September 1276, and his eldest son, John, who had been committed during his minority to the custody of Eineon, Bishop of St. Asaph, came of age on September 17, 1287, and was admitted to his inheritance on October 6 following.

John died within two years; on June 14, 1289, the escheator south of Trent was ordered to take into the King's hands the lands late of John, son of Robert le Strange, deceased, tenant in chief.

Like his brother Hamon, Robert, after the battle of Evesham, was rewarded for his loyalty to the King by a grant at the expense of one of the rebellious citizens of London. The Patent Roll of October 19 records a grant to Robert le Estraunge of a capital messuage in the City of London, late of John de Turri, the King's enemy. Another entry in the same Roll, on June 28, 1266, shows that Robert was still in the King's good graces, as a pardon is granted at his request to Hugh Corbet for the death of Adam le Ventrer.

Robert died before September, 1276, as on the 10th of that month the Sheriff of Southampton was ordered to cause Eleanor, late the wife of Robert le Estraunge, tenant-in-chief, to have yearly œ30 of the manor of Chawton, which belonged to Robert, as the King has committed the said land to her until dower is assigned; the whole manor had been extended at œ40. The wife of Robert le Strange was Alianora, or Eleanor, second daughter and co-heiress of William de Whitchurch [de Albo Monasterio], from whom he ultimately acquired and transmitted to his descendants a considerable inheritance. Robert le Strange at his death left three sons, John, Fulk, and Robert, all of them under age.

2nd son of Ralph de Someri and his wife Philippa Basset, son of John de Someri and his wife Hawise, daughter of Gervase Paganel and Isabel de Bellomont, daughter of Robert de Bellomont, Earl of Leicester.
(Kin of Mellcene Thurman Smith, page 732)

Roger de Someri, 2nd son, had livery of the Barony of Dudley, on the death of his nephew in 1229. He married 1st Nichola, daughter of William de Albina, surety for the Magna Charta, and had four daughters--Joan, Mable, Maud and Margaret. He married 2nd Amabel, daughter of Sir Robert de Chacombe.
(Kin of Mellcene Thurman Smith, page 286)

Roger de Somery died in 1273. The writ for the inquisition on his death is dated August 26, and shows that he held lands of his own inheritance in nine counties of England, and also, of the inheritance of his first wife, Nicola de Albini, the manor of Barrow-on-Soar, Leicestershire, and that of Campden in Gloucestershire. The lands of his own inheritance descended, of course, to his eldest son Roger, issue of his second wife, Amabel de Chaucombe, while those of Nicola de Albini were divided among her four daughters.
