    Along with 4 other ruthless Barons, John of Gaunt (regent during King Richard II's minority), Richard FitzAlan Earl of Arundel, Thomas de Beauchamp Earl of Warwick, and Thomas Mowbray Duke of Norfolk, became known as the "Apellants". They had real power during much of King Richard II's reign and had many of his friends executed to keep him powerless.

    In 1397 Richard had gathered a party of supporters and finally struck back. Arundel was executed, Warwick was banished, and Thomas of Woodstock, Duke of Gloucester was imprisoned and murdered. In 1398 Henry Bolingbroke, son of John of Gaunt (dead) was deprived of all of his Lancastrian estates and banished as well. However in 1399 Henry invaded England while Richard was in Ireland and became Henry IV.

[information taken from Encylcopedia Britannica]

Thomas of Woodstock, Duke of Gloucester, (b. Jan. 7, 1355, Woodstock, Oxfordshire, Eng.--d. probably September 1397), powerful opponent of King Richard II of England (ruled 1377-99).

    The seventh son of King Edward III (ruled 1327-77), he was created Duke of Gloucester in 1385 and soon became the leader of a party opposed to Richard II, his young nephew. In 1386 Gloucester and his associates--later known as the appellants--took virtual control of the king's government. Gloucester defeated one of Richard's favourites, Robert de Vere, Duke of Ireland, at Radcot Bridge, London, in December 1387 and then had a number of the king's friends executed. In 1389 Richard gained the upper hand and worked out a compromise with his enemies. Gloucester was made lieutenant of Ireland in 1392, but in 1397 Richard arrested him and two other leading appellants. Committed to the charge of Thomas Mowbray, Earl of Nottingham (later Duke of Norfolk), at the English port of Calais, France, Gloucester was murdered, possibly on orders from Richard. According to one of Mowbray's servants, who was later executed for his part in the crime, the duke was suffocated with a feather bed. [Encyclopædia Britannica CD '97]

    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. [Sir Bernard Burke, Dormant, Abeyant, Forfeited, and Extinct

    Few families in the early annals of England can boast of a more eminent progenitor than the Bassets, and the descendants of few of the Anglo-Norman nobles attained a higher degree of power than those of Ralph Basset (son of Thurstan, theNorman), who was justice of England under King Henry I. We find his son Ralph, in the reign of Stephen, "abounding in wealth and erecting a strong castle upon some part of his inheritance in Normandy." Ralph Basset, the justice of England, required none of the artificial aids of ancestry to attain distinction; he had within himself powers sufficient at any period to reach the goal of honour, but particularly to the rude age in which he lived. To his wisdom we are said to be indebted for many salutary laws, and among others for that of frank pledge. Like all the great men of his day, he was a most liberal benefactor to the church. He d. in 1120, leaving issue, Thurstine, Thomas, Richard, Nicholas, and Gilbert.

Garter, Order of the, highest order in England, founded in 1348 by King Edward III. It is composed of the reigning sovereign, the Prince of Wales, and 24 knights, in addition to a number of English princes, foreign sovereigns, and other specially chosen members. The order was established in honor of the Virgin Mary, Saint Edward the Confessor, and Saint George, the patron saint of England. Originally it was designated as the Order of Saint George, a name it bore until the reign of English and Irish king Edward VI. During the knights’ lifetimes, their heraldic banners are hung in Saint George's Chapel in Windsor Castle, which also serves as the chapel of the order. The motto of the order is Honi soit qui mal y pense (Shame on him who thinks evil of it) and the badge of the garter is displayed on the coats of arms of the members.

Henry was born in Selby. Because his father, who died in 1087, left him no land, Henry made several unsuccessful attempts to gain territories on the Continent. On the death of his brother William II in 1100, Henry took advantage of the absence of another brother—Robert, who had a prior claim to the throne—to seize the royal treasury and have himself crowned king at Westminster. Henry subsequently secured his position with the nobles and with the church by issuing a charter of liberties that acknowledged the feudal rights of the nobles and the rights of the church. In 1101 Robert, who was duke of Normandy, invaded England, but Henry persuaded him to withdraw by promising him a pension and military aid on the Continent. In 1102 Henry put down a revolt of nobles, who subsequently took refuge in Normandy (Normandie), where they were aided by Robert. By defeating Robert at Tinchebray, France, in 1106, Henry won Normandy. During the rest of his reign, however, he constantly had to put down uprisings that threatened his rule in Normandy. The conflict between Henry and Anselm, archbishop of Canterbury, over the question of lay investiture (the appointment of church officials by the king), was settled in 1107 by a compromise that left the king with substantial control in the matter.

Because he had no surviving male heir, Henry was forced to designate his daughter Matilda as his heiress. After his death on December 1, 1135, at Lyons-la-Fôret, Normandy, however, Henry's nephew, Stephen of Blois, usurped the throne, plunging the country into a protracted civil war that ended only with the accession of Matilda's son, Henry II, in 1154.

Henry I (c.1068 - December 1, 1135), called Henry Beauclerk or Henry Beauclerc because of his scholarly interests, was the youngest son of William the Conqueror. He reigned as King of England from 1100 to 1135, succeeding his brother, William II Rufus. He was also known by the nickname "Lion of Justice". His reign is noted for his limitations on the power of the crown, his improvements in the machinery of government, his reuniting of the dominions of his father, and his controversial decision to name his daughter as his heir.

Henry was born between May 1068 and May 1069, probably in Selby, Yorkshire in England. As the youngest son of the family, he was most likely expected to become a bishop and was given extensive schooling for a young nobleman of that time period. He was probably the first Norman ruler to be fluent in English.

His father William, upon his death in 1087, bequeathed his dominions to his sons in the following manner:

Robert received the Duchy of Normandy
William received the Kingdom of England
Henry received 5000 pounds of silver
It is reported that he prophesied that Henry would eventually get everything his father had (Cross, 1917).

The two older brothers made an agreement that if either died without an heir, the two dominions of their father would be reunited under the surviving brother. When William II died in 1100, however, Robert was returning from the First Crusade. His absence, along with his poor reputation among the Norman nobles, allowed Henry to seize the keys of the royal hoard at Winchester. He was accepted as king by the leading barons and was crowned three days later on August 5 at Westminster. He immediately secured his position among the nobles by issuing the Charter of Liberties, which is considered a forerunner of the Magna Carta.

On November 11, 1100 Henry married Edith, daughter of King Malcolm III of Scotland. Since Edith was also the niece of Edgar Atheling, the marriage united the Norman line with old English line of kings. The marriage greatly displeased the Norman barons, however, and as a concession to their sensibilities, Edith changed her named to Matilda upon becoming queen.

The following year in 1101, Robert Curthose attempted to seize back the crown by an invading England. In the Treaty of Alton, Robert agreed to recognize Henry as king of England and return peacefully to Normandy, upon receipt of an annual sum of 2000 marks, which Henry proceeded to pay.

In 1105, to eliminate the continuing threat from Robert, Henry led an expeditionary force across the English Channel. In 1106, he decisively defeated his brother's Norman army at Tinchebray. He imprisoned his brother and appropriated the Duchy of Normandy as a possession of England, thus reuniting his father's dominions.

As king, Henry carried out social and judicial reforms, including:

issuing the Charter of Liberties
restoring laws of King Edward the Confessor.
He had two children by Matilda before her death in 1118: Maud, born February 1102, and William Adelin, born November 1103. On January 29, 1121, he married Adeliza, daughter of Godfrey, Count of Louvain, but there were no children from this marriage. He also holds the record for the largest number of acknowledged illegitimate children born to any English king, with a provisional total of twenty-five. One of his illegitimate daughters, Sybilla, married King Alexander I of Scotland.

However, his only legitimate son William Adelin perished in the wreck of the White Ship, on November 25, 1120, off the coast of Normandy. Also among the dead were Henry's illegitimate son Richard and illegitimate daughter Matilda, Countess of Perche, as well as a niece, Lucia de Blois.



Left without male heirs, Henry took the unprecedented step of making his barons swear to accept his daughter Matilda, widow of Henry V, the Holy Roman Emperor, as his heir.

Henry died of food poisoning from eating foul lampreys in December, 1135, at St. Denis le Fermont in Normandy and was buried at Reading Abbey.



Although Henry's barons had sworn allegiance to his daughter Matilda as their queen, Matilda's sex and her remarriage to the House of Anjou, an enemy of the Normans, allowed Henry's nephew Stephen of Boulogne to come to England and claim the throne with popular support.

The struggle between Matilda and Stephen resulted in a long civil war known as the Anarchy. The dispute was eventually settled by Stephen's naming of Matilda's son, Henry, as his heir in 1153.

# Note:

    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.

# Note:

    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.

# Note:

    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.

# Note:

    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.

# Note:

    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 changed her name from Edith to Matilda. No one could claim that he did not aim to please.

# Note:

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.

# Note:

    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.

# Note:

    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.

# Note:

    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.

# Note:

    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.

# Note:

    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.

# Note:

    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.

 1215 - 1274 Geoffrey de Langley 59 59     The real founder of the Langley fortunes was Walter's son Geoffrey. His early years were, however, inauspicious. Though he had succeeded at Pinley by 1222, his land at Siddington was retained by members of related families. He sued first Isabel de Cardonville and after her death Hasculf de Harborough. The case was in progress during 1228-9 and Geoffrey appears to have recovered soon after. Later he augmented the estate by purchasing a further carucate from Hascuif's heirs.

    By December 1234, perhaps through marriage, Geoffrey had acquired land at Long Compton, War. A second marriage, before 25 September 1236, brought him the manor of Turkdean, Glos., with land and rents at Brightwell, Ewelme, Haseley and Standhill, Oxon., Hawridge, Bucks., and Woodborough, Wilts. It was primarily by service to the Crown, however, that Geoffrey succeeded in raising the family's fortunes.

    Sir Geoffrey de Langley first appears in royal service during the monopolization of office by Peter de Rivaux. He functioned as constable of St. Briavels, deputizing for Peter, during the winter of 1233-4. Joining the royal curia he became knight-deputy to the Earl Marshal and Marshal of the Household. He may have deputized for Gilbert Marshal who died in June 1241; he certainly did so for his successor Waiter. Twice during these early years Geoffrey was employed by the King as a proctor in ecclesiastical affairs.

    The Gascon campaign of 1242-3 proved a watershed in his career. On his return he was detached from the household, given custody of the honour of Arundel and then recruited to the forest eyre. From late 1244 to early 1250 he was associated with the general forest eyre conducted under the headship of Robert Passelewe. On 4 March 1250 he was made Chief Justice of the Forest on both sides of the Trent, an office which he exercised for a space of two and a half years until 25 October 1252.

    As Chief Justice of the Forest he earned the rather unenviable enmity of Matthew Paris. According to the St. Albans chronicler he had gained a reputation for parsimony whilst Marshal of the Household. Now he was to be particularly zealous, if not unrestrained, in the interests of the King. Though the Chronica Majora is highly exaggerated in tone there is no doubt that Geoffrey's northern eyre was a particularly lucrative one and may well have caused murmurings.

    By 1252 Geoffrey was at the height of his power and high in royal esteem. A member of the Council, he functioned as escort, and perhaps guardian, to the King's daughter, Queen Margaret of Scotland, during 1252-3, and in March 1254 took responsibility for the English and Welsh lands of the young Prince Edward. His appointment as Edward's steward proved, however, to be a disaster, for in attempting the shiring of Perfeddwlad he provoked the Welsh rising of November 1256. According to Matthew Paris he conducted himself here in a typically high-handed manner whilst the Dunstable annalist writes of his boasting before the king and queen that he had the Welsh in the palm of his hand. To an extent, though, Geoffrey may have been the scapegoat for the failure of royal policy. Out of favour with the King, he was eventually pardoned on 14 February 1258. He was unpopular, too, with the opposition baronage, and was among those royalists whose lands were pillaged in the spring of 1263. Understandably he was little in evidence in national affairs during the troubled years 1258-67. He had died by 22 September 1274.

    Whatever his calibre as a royal servant, there is no doubt that Geoffrey profited handsomely both in terms of royal gifts and in terms of cash and opportunity for investment. He was directly endowed with land during his early years in forest justice. On 22 April 1245 he was granted the reversion of the manors of Milcote and Dorsington, War.; this took effect on 9 April 1246. Meanwhile, on 29 March 1246, he had received Stamfordham "of the lands of the Normans", initially pending the reversion of Milcote and Dorsington though he was afterwards allowed to retain it. Finally, on 29 April 1248, he was allowed to exchange Stamfordham for the Warwickshire manor of Atherstone-upon-Stour, formerly held by the royal steward Geoffrey de Crowcombe. In the same category should be placed the manor of Stareton which he received from Waiter Marshal, Earl of Pembroke, before June 1243, no doubt as payment for his services whilst Marshal of the Household. Before his death, in November 1245, Waiter had quitclaimed the rent due from Geoffrey's land at Long Compton and had given him land and rents in the town of Warwick and in Cotes and Hardwick.

    During these years Geoffrey was busily acquiring land from other sources. In essence he was employing the cash reward of royal service to exploit the opportunities offered by his favoured position. In three cases he gained valuable estates through the acquittance of debts to Jews. These were the core of his estate at Stivichall purchased from Wilham de Lucy in or around 1240, the estate centred on Bisseley near Coventry and later known as the manor of Shortley, acquired from Henry d'Aubigny during 1244-5, and Ashover in Derbyshire which he took on lease for a term of 22 years in 1251 and purchased outright sometime during the next five years. Ashover and Stivichall were acquired by Geoffrey at one and two removes, respectively, from an impecunious landowner. The detail of these transactions reveals a good deal about the traffic in encumbered estates during the mid-thirteenth century. By the same means he acquired rents at Bearley, War., and at Heydon in Ewelme, Oxon.

    Several of Geoffrey's other major acquisitions are more difficult to categorise. From John de Monmouth he gained the manor of Chesterton close to Siddington at a date later than 1236 and closer to 1252. Geoffrey may have discharged John's debts to the Jews; but although John did have such debts, he does not appear to have been in serious financial difficulties. Geoffrey's acquisition of Harborough Magna between 1246 and 1252 was, in part at least, a family settlement. Hasculf de Harborough was the relative from whom he had recovered his estate at Siddington. Now Harborough passed to Geoffrey and Hasculf was given in return a life-tenancy of Little Dorsington. More curious is Geoffrey's acquisition of Weston Mauduit. The Langley Cartulary contains no charter of enfeoffment but only two minor grants by Williarn Mauduit of land lying close to Milcote. The inquisition in 1268 on the death of William's son, Earl of Warwick since 1263, records his alienation of land worth £15 per annum in Weston, and Geoffrey was clearly holding this estate before his death in 1274.

    Geoffrey also managed to endow his son Walter with an independent estate during his own lifetime. In 1243-4 he was married to an heiress, Alice Breton, with manors at Wyken and Wolfhameote, War., and Bignell, Oxon. In the years which followed his father made considerable additions to the first two properties by buying out both undertenants and independent freeholders. Even before this, Geoffrey had begun building an estate in Somerset which was intended for his eldest son. Numerous small properties were added to the core of an estate at Ashcott acquired from Walter de Chauton. Richard de Chauton was later to sue (successfully) for the return of the property on the grounds that his father had enfeoffed Walter de Langley when the latter was under age. The Langley interest in Ashcott and neighbouring places was certainly established by 1242.

    Geoffrey paid considerable attention to the improvement and consolidation of his estates. This can be seen most clearly on the Langley estates south of Coventry. In addition he steadily expanded his income from urban rents in Coventry itself and invested in mills around the town. No less than eight of these were in Langley hands by the middle of the century.

    Though the work of an opportunist, Geoffrey de Langley's accumulation was not an entirely haphazard one. A close look at the geographical location of his estates reveals three concentrations; south of Coventry, around Cirencester, and in south-west Warwickshire.. These were kept in demesne, while some, at least, of his outlying property tended to be leased. His monastic benefactions must be seen against this background. The outlying Warwickshire manors of Harborough Magna and Stareton passed to the Cistercian houses of Combe and Stoneleigh at annual rents of £10. 6s. and £20 respectively. His small estate at Long Compton in the southern tip of Warwickshire was given to the Augustinian priory of Wroxton after the Battle of Evesham.

    The overall value of the Langley estates is difficult to calculate. Available figures, based on the inquisitions post mortem of Geoffrey and his eldest son Waiter, yield a total of £160. 9s. 2d. This excludes the considerable estate in Somerset and other Midland properties including the land at Long Compton. Allowing for undervaluation, Geoffrey's income at its height can hardly have been less than £200 per annum. In addition his son, Walter, was holding the three manors of Wyken, Wolfhamcote and Bignell for which no figures are available.

    After so rapid an accumulation one would expect the Langleys to have risen further, through marriage if not otherwise, and to have reached the parliamentary peerage during the course of the fourteenth century. That this did not happen is largely due to the division of estates after the death of Sir Geoffrey. Siddington, Atherstone-upon-Stour, Milcote, Little Dorsington, Weston Mauduit, Harborough Magna, Pinley and Stivichall with rents in Coventry passed to his eldest son Walter. But the inheritance of his second wife and the lands of their joint enfeoffment, viz. Chesterton, Turkdean, Stareton and Shortley with property at Brightwell, Heydon and Chalgrove, and further rents in Coventry and Warwick went to their son Master Robert de Langley, and afterwards, by some obscure family agreement to Geoffrey de Langley, junior, full brother to Sir Walter. The Somerset lands had also passed to Geoffrey though he lost them in stages between 1280 and 1295. By 1287 he had acquired Atherstone from his nephew Sir John. He was dead by August 1297.

    Henry Bourchier, 5th Baron Bourchier, 1st Viscount Bourchier, 1st Earl of Essex (c.1404/c.1406 - April 4, 1483), was the eldest son of William Bourchier and Anne Plantagenet. His mother was a grand-daughter of Edward III and, through her mother, great-great-granddaughter of Edward I. He was thus a great-grandson of Edward III.

    He inherited the title of Lord (or Baron) Bourchier from his cousin Elizabeth on her death in 1433, became 1st Viscount Bourchier in 1446, a Knight of the Garter in 1452, and was finally created Earl of Essex in 1461.

    He was Lord High Treasurer from 29 May 1455 - 5 October 1456, 28 July 1460 - 14 April 1462, and 22 April 1471 - 4 April 1483. He also became Justice in Eyre south of the Trent in 1461, holding that title till his death.

    Prior to 1426, he married Isabel Plantagenet, another great-grandchild of Edward III (through her father - she was also Edward's great-great-great granddaughter, through her mother). She was elder sister to Richard Plantagenet, and aunt to Richard's two sons, the future Edward IV and Richard III.

    Henry and Isabel were parents to at least ten children. On his death she did not remarry and died more than a year later.

The daughter of Humphrey de Bohun, 7th Earl of Hereford, she was a great heiress, and her elder sister, Eleanor, became the wife of Thomas of Woodstock. Mary married Henry, then known as Bolingbroke and nowhere in the line of succession to the throne, in 1380 or 1381. It was at Monmouth, one of her father's possessions, that she gave birth to her first two sons, Edward (who died in infancy) and Henry. Three more sons and two daughters were born in the years up to 1394. Mary died giving birth to the last child, Philippa, later the wife of Eric of Pomerania.
