By patent, dated at Wallingford, in consideration for his services, and better to enable him to support the honour, had given to him the regalities, liberties, knight's fees and other royal privileges of the County of Tipperary, and the rights of a Palatine in that county for life. By virtue of this grant these privileges were enjoyed by the family until 1716. He is described by Clynn, the Annalist, to be a liberal, amicable facetious and comely person. He died in the flower of his youth in the year 1337. He married in 1327 Eleanor, 2nd daughter of Humphrey de Bohun (great-great-grand-son of Henry de Bohun Surety for the Magna Charta) and his wife, Princess Elizabeth, daughter of King Edward I. They had John, who died an infant, James and a daughter, Petronilla, who married Gilbert, 3rd Baron Taubot.

Prelude
Stirling Castle was besieged by the Scots in the spring of 1314. The commander at Stirling, Sir Philip Mowbray, agreed to surrender if a relieving force had not arrived by the end of June. On hearing of this agreement, Edward II of England organized a considerable force of possibly 25,000 men to head north. The army was mustered at Berwick-upon-Tweed before crossing the border at Coldstream and heading for Stirling.
The battle
On Sunday, June 23, the English force had reached the ford at Bannockburn, a few miles south of Stirling, where the Scottish force of maybe 9,000 was waiting for them under the command of Robert the Bruce. The Scots intended to fight in a narrow gap, relying on their disciplined schiltron to blunt the advantages of the English heavy cavalry. The actual battle spread over the few miles of poor ground between Bannock Burn and the River Forth.

The battle was fought over two days and although the first encounters were relatively small compared to the major clash on the second day, its outcome dictated the strategically disastrous deposition of the English force, hemmed in on marshland between the Bannock Burn and the Pelstream Burn in the marshland leading down to the banks of the meandering River Forth. The Battle of Bannockburn was remembered by the English as "The Battle of the Pools".

The first clash was between 500 English cavalry heading for Stirling and a force of Scottish infanty. The schiltrons proved their worth, the English charges were repulsed for little loss and the cavalry were forced to retire. At the same time there had been a number of skirmishes around the main force as the English crossed Bannock Burn to face up to the Scots, including the clash of the English Knight, Henry De Bohun (nephew of Humphrey de Bohun, the Earl of Hereford) and Robert the Bruce. De Bohun had seen the Bruce mounted on a pony in advance of the main Scottish force. Tilting his lance, De Bohun rode down on the solitary figure whose pony side-stepped the charging warhorse at the last moment while its rider dispatched the knight with a blow to his helmet with his battle axe. As daylight was fading after some further half-hearted skirmishes, the English withdrew to set up camp between Bannock Burn and the Pelstream Burn.

The main battle occurred on June 24. The English advanced across the burn while the Scots waited in schiltrons. The first English cavalry charge was disorganised and costly, few knights managed to break through the schiltrons and they were quickly dispatched. The Scots then advanced, still in schiltrons, forcing the disorganised cavalry back into the English infantry still trying to join them across the burn. The fire from English archers fell on both English and Scots and before they could properly threaten the advancing Scottish infantry a sally of light cavalry drove the archers back. The English superiority of numbers hampered any attempts at rallying them as the Scottish force pressed the masses back towards the river. Edward II fled the field early, and after being denied entry to Stirling he went to Dunbar via Winchburgh and then by ship back to England.
Aftermath
The Scottish victory was complete and, although full English recognition of Scottish independence was not achieved until more than ten years later, Robert the Bruce was able to re-establish Scotland as a sovereign state mainly because of the events at Bannockburn.

Each year the Scottish Nationalist movement, primarily the Scottish National Party commemorates the battle with a march to Bannockburn field from Stirling town centre. There then follows a laying of a wreath at the statue of Robert the Bruce and a rally.

The Battle of Boroughbridge was a small but important battle in the conflicts between Edward II of England and his rebellious barons. The battle took place near at important bridge across the Wye called Boroughbridge, northwest of York.

Early in 1322, king Edward took forces north in England to subdue his cousin Thomas, Earl of Lancaster. Lancaster was pushed further north, where he may have been hoping to join up with forces from Scotland. However on March 16, he found his way across the river Wye barred by forces of Sir Andrew Harclay. Sir Andrew used the infantry tactics which were later to prove so effective against the French at Crecy, and the rebels were defeated.

Of the rebel leaders, Humphrey de Bohun, 4th Earl of Hereford, was killed, and the rest captured. The prisoners were later convicted of treason and executed.
 1305 Humphrey de Bohun 1306 John de Bohun 1310 - 1391 Margaret de Bohun 81 81 1310 - 1360 William de Bohun 50 50 William de Bohun, 1st Earl of Northampton (ca. 1310-1360) was an English nobleman and military commander.
He was the fifth son of Humphrey de Bohun, 4th Earl of Hereford and Elizabeth of Rhuddlan. He had a twin brother, Edward. His maternal grandparents were Edward I of England and his first Queen consort Eleanor of Castile.

In 1332 he received many new properties: Hinton and Spaine in Berkshire; Hasley, Ascot, Dedington, Pyrton and Kirklington in Oxfordshire; Wincomb in Buckinghamshire; Longbenington in Lincolnshire; Kneesol in Bottinghamshire; Newnsham in Gloucestershire, Wix in Essex, and Bosham in Sussex. He was created Earl of Northampton in 1337, adding to the titles of Count of Hereford and Essex.

In 1339 he accompanied the King to Flanders. He served variously in Brittany and in Scotland, and was present at the great English victories at Sluys and was a commander at Crécy.
In addition to being a warrior, William was also a renowned diplomat. He negotiated two treaties with France, one in 1343 and one in 1350. He was also charged with negotiating in Scotland for the freedom of David Bruce, prisoner of the English.

De Bohun was succeeded by his son Humphrey, who also succeeded his uncle and became 7th earl of Hereford. His daughter Elizabeth de Bohun was married to Richard Fitzalan, 6th Earl of Arundel.
(Wikipedia)


William de Bohun, 4th son, was a personage of great eminence in the turbulent times in which he lived, and was one of the gallant heroes of Cressy. In the Parliament held in London, in the 11th of Edward III, 1337, upon the advancement of the Black Prince to the dukedom of Cornwall, he was created Earl of Northampton, and from that period his lordship appears the constant companion in arms of the illustrious Edward, the Black Prince, and his martial father Edward III. He was entrusted at different periods with the most important offices, such as ambassador to treat of peace with hostile powers, commissioner to levy taxes, etc., and he was finally honoured with Knight of the Garter. His lordship
married Elizabeth de Badlesmere, daughter of Bartholomew de Badlesmere and Margaret de Clare; daughter of Thomas de Clare and Juliana FitzGerald; son of Thomas de Clare, Governor of London 1274; son of Richard de Clare (son of Gilbert de Clare, Surety, son of Richard de Clare, Surety) and his wife Maud de Lacie; daughter of John de Lacie, Surety, and Margaret de Quincey; daughter of Robert de Quincey; son of Saire de Quincey, Surety for the Magna Charta. William de Bohun had issue Humphrey, who succeeded his uncle as Earl of Hereford and Essex and Constable of England, and a daughter Elizabeth. He died 1360.

He was the son of Humphrey de Bohun, by Eleanor de Braose, a daughter of William de Braose, Lord of Abergavenny and Eve Marshall. His mother died in 1251; his father died in 1265 of wounds sustained at the Battle of Evesham. He succeeded his grandfather, Humphrey de Bohun, 2nd Earl of Hereford, in 1275. The 3rd Earl was also the 2nd Earl of Essex, and held the positions of Lord Warden of the Cinque Ports, and Constable of all England.
Humphrey de Bohun took part in Roger Mortimer's war against the Welsh, and was present at the defeat at Cefnllys in November, 1262, by Llywelyn ap Gruffydd. He died at Pleshy Castle, in Essex.
Humphrey de Bohun married Maud de Fiennes sometime between 1264 and July 17, 1275. Maud was born between 1236 and 1259, a daughter of Enguerrand II de Fiennes and Isabel de Conde. She died before 1347. Their son, another Humphrey de Bohun, succeeded him as the 8th Baron de Bohun and as Earl of Hereford.
Humphrey de BohunVII is best remembered for refusing to serve in Gascony except in company of the king. Humphrey de Bohun took part in Roger Mortimer's war against the Welsh, and was present at the defeat at Cefnllys in November, 1262, by Llywelyn ap Gruffydd. He died at Pleshy Castle, in Essex.
(From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)

Humphrey de Bohun succeeded his grandfather as Earl of Hereford and Essex, and Lord High Constable of England. This nobleman, inheriting the high and daring spirit of his predecessors, often strenuously opposed measures of the court, and was therefore often in disgrace, but he appears at the close of his career to have regained royal favour, for we find him attending the King into Scotland when that monarch, Edward I, obtained a great victory at Roxburgh. He married Maud, daughter of Sir Ingelram Fiennes, and, dying in 1297, was succeeded by his son, Humphrey.

The Sheriff of Salop was directed, on June 2, 1325, to receive from John, son of Fulk le Strange, tenant-in-chief, security for the payment of 600 marks yearly to the King until he come of age. On August 1 following, by reason of the above security, the wardship of the lands of his late father, in the King's hands by his minority, was committed to John, to hold from midsummer last until his lawful age, except knight's fees and advowsons of churches, and dowers when they fall in, rendering œ400 a year at the Exchequer, in moieties at Michaelmas and Easter. Licence was granted for the same John to marry whomsoever he will, for a fine of œ400 made by him at the Exchequer.

John, in later times, reckoned to be the second Lord Strange of Blackmere, came of age on January 25, 1327, the same day as that on which Edward III acceded to the throne. A month later, namely, on February 26, the escheator was ordered to cause him to have seisin of his father's lands, as he had made proof of age and the King had received his homage; he held by service of 1 1/4 knight's fee and a yearly payment of œ8.

He had already had early training at Court as 'valettus regis,' or King's yeoman, of Edward II, apparently during the last years of his reign--perhaps when his father was seneschal of Aquitaine, and after the latter's death; we shall see that he soon became 'King's valet' of Edward III. A mandate was issued on July 12, 1327, to the Treasurer of the Exchequer to allow to John le Strange, son and heir of Fulk, in debts due from him for the custody of his inheritance, and for his marriage, which were granted to him by the late King, the sum of œ90 for 134 oak trees of the best [de electo], felled by the late King in John's wood of Chawton during his minority and carried to Porchester Castle.

John le Strange of Blackmere was summoned to Parliament from September 6, 1330, to April 20, 1343, by writs directed to him simply 'Johanni Le Strange,' and up to March 10, 1349, by writs directed 'Johanni Le Strange de Blackmere.
In the year 1332 he was twice appointed, namely, on March 21 and on November 9, one of six keepers of the county of Salop, to put a stop to the lawlessness then prevailing.

On March 21, 1333, he was summoned 'equis et armis' to Newcastle-on-Tyne to repel the invasion of the Scots.
Among the petitions to Pope Clement VI is one from John le Strange, baron, and several others and their wives, for plenary remission at the hour of death; it was granted at Avignon on November 13, 1348. He died within a few months of receiving this, namely, on July 20, 1349.

A licence is entered on the Patent Rolls of July 14, 1294, for Fulk le Strange, going on the King's service to Gascony, to sell, cut down, and carry timber to the value of œ40 out of his wood of Chawton, within the metes of the forest of Porchester, in those places where it will be to the least damage of the said forest.

On May 4, 1309, Fulk was placed with others on a commission of Oyer and Terminer respecting Ivo de Sutton's misappropriation of moneys. On July 30 of that year he was summoned to be at Newcastle-on-Tyne, 'equis et armis,' on Michaelmas day, to proceed against the Scots who do not observe the truce. On September 6, 1309, he attested the important family arrangement for assuring Knockin to John le Strange (VI), and enfeoffing the latter's brother Hamon in the manor of Hunstanton, and he also witnessed the further documents of November 30 and December 88 for carrying that arrangement into effect. He was one of the three le Strange knights present at the tournament at Stepney in June, 1309.

Fulk le Strange, mindful of the blood-ties which connected him with the Welsh lords of Upper Powys, backed up his first cousin, Griffith de la Pole, in his attempt to deprive John Charlton of Pool Castle, which John claimed by right of his wife Hawise Gadarn (i.e. the mighty), granddaughter of Hawise le Strange and Griffith ap Gwenwynwyn, also a cousin of Fulk's (his aunt Hawise's granddaughter). Charlton was a prominent courtier, the King's chamberlain, and his pushful policy was naturally resented by the Shropshire lords of settled position like the le Stranges. An amnesty was granted on November 6, 1313, to Griffith de la Pole and Fulk le Strange and their adherents for the siege of Pool Castle, and for all deeds of arms in the lands of Powys and la Pole; and for John de Charlton, who held the castle during such siege, and his adherents, touching all acts done by them at that time.

By his wife, Eleanor Giffard, Fulk had three sons and one daughter--(1) his eldest son, John, who succeeded him in Whitchurch, (2) Fulk, had had Longnor settled on him by his father two years before the latter's death, and also held the manor of Betton Strange, and (3) Hamon, who acquired Cheswardine, by the remainder to him conveyed at the time of his father's feoffment therein by John, son of Roger le Strange, of Ellesmere, in 1315.

His heir was his son John, aged eighteen at the feast of St. Paul last [January 25, 1324].

Fulk, the son of Robert le Strange and Alianora, eventually inherited his mother's third of Whitchurch, and apparently purchased the two other thirds, as at his death in 1324 the inquest finds him to have been seised of the whole manor.

1303 Fulk le Strange 1305 Hamon le Strange 1308 Elizabeth le Strange 1232 - 1276 Robert le Strange 44 44 Robert, also a crusader, had returned home, but died a few months later, in 1276, leaving three sons, John, Fulk, and Robert, the second of whom was eventually the first baron of the house of Blackmere.

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.

 1231 Alianore de Blancminster Robert le Strange 1266 John le Strange 1205 - 1260 William de Whitechurch 55 55 William, who died before June 11, 1260, left four daughters; the eldest, Berta, was an imbecile, and died in 1281; the fourth of the manor of Whitchurch, which had escheated to the King by reason of her imbecility, was granted by him to her sister Eleanor to hold at will at a rent of œ17 12s. per annum. The third daughter, Johanna, married William de Barentyn; and Matilda, the youngest, was the wife of Robert de Brascy. Fulk, the son of Robert le Strange and Alianora, eventually inherited his mother's third of Whitchurch, and apparently purchased the two other thirds, as at his death in 1324 the inquest finds him to have been seised of the whole manor. Shortly after Robert's death his widow married Bogo de Knovill, then Sheriff of Shropshire, but had no issue by him. Eyton, to whom I am indebted for most of these particulars, mentions that she was buried at High Ercall, and that she was probably living in 1301, but died before 1306; he says that--
Her monument consists of a slab of grey marble, sometime inlaid with a fleury cross and two shields of arms, but the brasswork of these is gone. Her epitaph remains:
DAME ALIANORE LESTRANGE DE BLANCMINSTER GIST ICI. DIEU DE SA ALME EIT MERCI.

He died in 1208 or 1209, when William his son and heir owed 300 marks as relief. His widow died in or shortly before August 1226.
